I stopped by the window and looked out.

Looking at the pedestrians walking by the street from afar, they are different in height, shortness, fat and thin.

When I went to the Northland, my attire changed a bit, and I wore more clothes than I did here.

When the time comes, it will naturally expand its own size horizontally.

Luckily, it's not summer, so it's a good time to come, otherwise it's easy to look exposed.

On top of that, I had to use my brain a little bit more on my face.

You can't just use the difference in skin color, otherwise you won't be able to get out of the town, and it is very likely that you will meet an acquaintance of "Xiaolin".

When it comes to whether I can leave Nanhua Town smoothly, what should I do?

A few thoughts flashed through my mind, and I was at a loss for a moment.

After a moment's thought, I stood up and glanced out the window, my gaze retracting and skimming inside.

My eyes stayed on the pile of medicinal herbs that I had arranged neatly, and for a moment my mind suddenly recalled the scene in the capital of Sealand.

After thinking about it, my eyes lit up instantly!

At that time, I was still with my black-bellied brother, and it was my brother's approach that inspired me, and I think I found a way!

The mountain breeze blows, the trees on the side of the road are clustered, and you can see the mountain scenery all the way out of Nanhua Town in the middle of the mountain.

There are really a lot of people on the road, and many of them don't look like ordinary people here in Nanhua Town, but the dialogue with a Suzhou accent has been heard several times in succession.

This is the return journey to Suzhou, and immediately with a cold expression, it was the young man who brought the escort A Lai to the town together.

Together with another companion, he hurried to the deserted village.

When they left, Ah took it upon himself to leave the horse that the third young master had ridden at the inn. I specially instructed the young man at the inn.

The only news they could confirm was that the third young master had not returned the house before leaving, so it meant that he might have only been out for two days.

The guard settled the bill for his own house, and by the way, paid for the room where the innkeeper lived. Not much, so I gave it three days in advance.

According to Ah Lai's idea, if three days have passed and the boy has not returned, there is no need to keep this house.

Explain the matter of the horses to the innkeeper.

They went back to Suzhou, and the inn was temporarily guarded until the third young master came back to pick up the horses.

Alai believes. As long as you go back to Suzhou and explain the situation clearly, the Fu Steward will definitely send someone to continue to track down, and it will be within three days at that time. Horses are guaranteed not to be lost.

The two of them were not quite sure of the third young master's intentions, and they didn't know if the master would return to the inn in the evening, and it was also difficult to say if the master would ride the horse away.

They simply didn't know the reason why the teenager left, and they couldn't remember.

Nanhua Town. There is a hint of luck. Ah Lai and his companions searched all the places that the town expected to go, but they still found nothing.

In desperation, they could only leave from Nanhua Town, and they never stopped all the way out.

By the time we arrived at the deserted village, it was getting late.

Approaching the boundary of the deserted village, the companions who were on the road together glanced at Ah Lai with complicated eyes.

Originally, when he set off, Ah Lai planned to go back to Suzhou City directly without stopping for a moment, but he met a lot of passers-by on the way. There is a sense of rushing to Nanhua Town.

They have heard about Wang Shi's recent movements, and they will inevitably have some associations.

It is said that Wang Shi has always stayed in the mountains near Nanhua. There is no next move.

The local officials in Nanhua Town are already taking action for Wang Shi's next trip.

On the mountain road, I met people passing by one after another, so lively, Ah Lai wondered if those people heard the wind and rushed to Nanhua Town.

After hesitation, when passing by the deserted village, Ah Lai finally decided to stay.

People passing by in this area habitually stop here to take a break, and the news is very mixed and spreads quickly.

The adjacent compound was nothing more than a fence, nothing in the eyes of the guards.

"Come," said his companion, approaching the courtyard where he had temporarily stopped, and sat down on the haystack at the base of the wall, looking back at Lai and almost saying the wrong name.

He was shocked to realize that he had almost revealed the words in his heart.

He paused and smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Ah Lai and asked, "Shall we stop here for dinner first?" “

Before leaving, the two of them bought some dry food in the shop in the town, and the well water in front of them was ready-made, and almost every household in the deserted village had such a well in their yards.

The companion had his own thoughts, and said to Ah Lai: "The third young master of our family is missing anyway, are you in such a hurry to report to Suzhou at this time?" ”

When this sentence is said, half of it represents the doubt in my heart, and the other half can be regarded as a complaint.

Ah Lai's mount was better than his companion's, and he chased his own tsundere young master very the way here.

I didn't expect that on the way back, it would be too much to chase after Ah Lai's stuffy gourd.

"I'm in a hurry, I'm going to pass the news to the Fu Steward immediately, and let him know as soon as possible."

Ah Lai pursed his lips, and the expression on his face was clearly written as if he didn't want to waste time.

"It's a pity that no matter what you think, we still have to stay, sometimes we can't do it quickly," the companion glanced at Ah Lai, and he didn't agree with the idea of the guy in front of him.

How does he feel that there is always a difference between two people, as if there is an invisible gap.

The idea of a stuffy gourd always feels a little strange.

For example, if you are in the presence of other companions, you are not so anxious.

Since you are not acting alone, you must be working with your companions to carefully think about how to deal with the stewardship on the road.

Everyone sits down and deliberates, and it is important to have a complete set of rhetoric that minimizes responsibility.

It's not at all like this, stuffy and desperately on the road, and the two of them haven't even discussed this matter carefully.

The companion thought about this, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

He moved the corners of his mouth, barely showing a wry smile, and whispered to Ah Lai thoughtfully: "What are you going to say to the Fu Steward, you can speak when you go back to the Chengdong Mansion." ”

Ah Lai glanced back at his companion. Silent, Shaoqing replied succinctly and clearly: "Okay!" ”

That's it, all the way back!

The companion was depressed. can only continue: "You want to hurry back, but you can't miss the movement here, otherwise how will you deal with the Fu Steward?" ”

His tone didn't sound good, and Ah Lai was silent again.

In fact, what the companion said is very reasonable, the matter is already like this, the more detailed the situation is. The easier it is to clear the customs at the steward's side.

The companion said something pertinent, even if it didn't sound very comfortable.

Whenever they go out to run errands, every guard has a decisive and calm side. But Ah Lai's thoughts, his companions really can't figure it out.

Could it be that after following the Qingyin Pavilion Lin Gongzi for a few days, the mission has become more and more weird?

In the memory of my companion, I went out with him on a mission last time. Ah Lai is not so weird.

Return to the residence of the Yuwen family in Suzhou. Directly facing the questioning of the Fu steward, if it is just a sentence of "the third young master is missing", God knows what punishment will be!

The guards of the Yuwen family are much better than the life of the little maid.

In other words, skilled jobs are definitely better treated.

My companion didn't want to let this incident affect his future life.

He had a complicated mood, mixed with a trace of regret, he was selected by the third young master to follow him to Nanhua, it was really a mistake!

The place where they stopped was next door to the large courtyard in the deserted village when they came.

A moment later. Hearing the movement in the compound next door, Ah Lai and his companions knew that it must be someone who went to Nanhua Town to rest temporarily.

The other party will not delay for long. There is a town rule when you go to the town, because you always have to go into the city with the crowd before dark.

At this moment, in the adjacent courtyard next door, a bunch of people were sitting around the well platform, looking like dust and dust.

And among them he who drinks water drinks water, and he who washes his face.

On the other side of the adjacent courtyard, the companion pays attention to the movement next door.

His gaze occasionally swirled around Ah Lai's face, and then he sighed secretly, thinking that he would have to discuss with him for a while.

At least there has to be a clear statement to let go of your worries!

Ah Lai glanced up at the wall, leaned slightly towards the wall, and then whispered to his companion: "Don't worry, listen to what the gang next door has to say." ”

"Nanhua Town is coming, and the rest will be handled by you"

A headless sentence that can only be understood by those who know the details.

Ah Lai frowned when he heard this, but the people next door began to talk about the market in the north of Nanhua Town.

This topic is lively in an instant, and you say everything I say, from the leather goods in the north to the specialty snacks in Nanhua Town.

In addition, there are also some discussions about Wang Shi.

Naturally, this kind of thing can't be said with great fanfare, anyone on the road may be met, and no one will talk so aggressively.

The group of people staying next door also lowered their voices and whispered them, so that only people in a small area could hear them.

However, Ah Lai and his companions didn't even look at the walls, so naturally their ears were much better than those talking next door, so they could hear every word of what the other party was talking about.

There was no news of particular concern, mixed in the middle, and some rumors about Wang Shi were heard.

There was one piece of news that made Ah Lai frown when he heard it, that is, the news about the temporary replenishment of troops in Nanhua Town into the pioneer camp.

The Wang Division Pioneer Battalion replenished the source of troops.

The companion listened attentively, and even put aside the matter of complaining about Alai.

After the group next door finished speaking, they rested and set off again.

As Ah Lai guessed, from their conversation, they heard that those who were busy arriving in Nanhua Town before it got dark would not stay in the deserted village for too long.

From the beginning to the end, the gang was more like a small businessman who went to the town to catch a market!

As soon as the other party left, Ah Lai exchanged a look with his companion, and each saw the meaning clearly from the other's eyes, and they got on their horses and hurriedly left the deserted village.

They galloped all the way in the direction of Suzhou, until they approached the makeshift bridge by the mountain stream, and they slowed down for the time being.

It's different when you run hard, and it takes very little time to get there.

Seeing that Ah Lai finally turned his head to look at him, his companion couldn't help but ask: "Hasn't Nanhua Town already started to move about Wang Shi's conscription?" ”

He heard the topics discussed by the gang clearly, and even if they didn't discuss it, they had heard a lot when they were looking for their third young master in the town.

The speed slowed down, and he was able to catch his breath, and the corners of his companion's mouth moved and said to Ah Lai: "Our third young master will not disappear sooner or later, at this time, don't you plan to sneak into the military camp and go to the Northland to have a look?" ”

What his companion said was just a joke, but Ah Lai heard it and turned his head to stare at him for a second.

Furious by his eyes, his companion sped up and walked forward.

His companion did not wait for him, but with his legs between the belly of the horse, he began to run at a high speed.

In a moment, he came to the mountain stream.

The temporary bridge of dead trees withstood the flow of people coming and going, and also withstood the time, and it looked quite sturdy.

Hurry up and whip up the road all the way to the bumpy road.

Seeing that the road conditions were okay, his companion breathed a sigh of relief and said to the stuffy gourd that followed: "I saw that you were in a hurry before, and I was still wondering if the bridge here can still be walked?" "I've seen it with my own eyes now, and I'm finally relieved."

The companion shook his head and said, "Let's walk for a while, rest in that mountain temple for an hour, and then hurry." ”

Ah Lai nodded, and didn't say anything in agreement.

The companion crossed the bridge cautiously alone, and listening to the sound of the mountain stream rushing under the bridge, he sighed and said: "Fortunately, the sky is clear and it doesn't rain, otherwise this bridge will definitely not be able to hold up in my opinion." ”

The rain intensified, and the flood water coming down from the upstream would definitely break the bridge of dead trees, and the two of them could not cross the stream at night, so they had to wait.

All in all, their luck was not bad!

The companion slowed down, and after successfully crossing the bridge, he said to Ah Lai, who was following behind him: "But thinking about it, I'm still a little worried." ”

"What are you worried about?"

Ah came to look at him and asked lightly, "You're all here, what else is there to worry about." ”

"I'm naturally worried about the third young master of our family."

The companion said with a bitter face: "After all, he is alone in Nanhua Town, if he comes back from his errands, and the bridge collapses, won't he have to delay for a day?" ”

"If he does go to the Northland, it will take many days to go, and when he comes back to the bridge, it will definitely be no problem."

After thinking about it, the companion said, "Do you want to lead in that direction when you report to the Fu Steward?" ”

This sentence is not something he said casually, the third young master did have a precedent, and he disliked the people who followed him when he went out to do errands, and it was inconvenient for him to go away alone.

Ah Lai frowned again, and whispered before getting on the horse: "To tell the truth, what should be done is how it is." ”

He glanced towards the mountain, then turned his head to look at his companion coldly, and said in a light tone: "You want to be in charge, you are dreaming!" ”

After that, Ah Lai took the lead in beating the horse and went up the mountain.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the figure on the mountain road turns around and disappears as soon as it slips away.

His companion was suddenly choked by him, and stood in place in a daze, not even reacting for a while! (To be continued.) )
