Chapter XXVII: A consensus was reached
The mountain breeze crept in through the window, and I turned to face him, frowning.
"What are you asking for?"
Listening to his question, I still couldn't think of the question, and I looked at him strangely.
I thought about it, and said to the tsundere boy in an affirmative tone: "Anyway, you also said that you want to follow me on the road!" "Well, I promise, on the way to the Northland, there is something for me to eat, and you are indispensable!"
I didn't want to answer his question, so I just changed the subject, which had something to do with food anyway.
I don't know what he's struggling with!
This man's thoughts are always strange, I can't guess his thoughts, and I don't have time to guess.
If someone else asked, I would probably understand that I was just thinking about trying to taste my food a few more times along the way, and I didn't plan to eat alone anyway!
The problem lies in the identity of the tsundere boy, and if he wants, his own chef with excellent cooking skills rushes to the door.
The reason of worrying about a meal is a bit far-fetched when pressed on him.
Well, I secretly said in my heart that since I have wronged the eldest young master to be my free driver and escort, it seems that it is a bit too much not to provide food anymore!
"I said, you have to cherish this opportunity," I reminded him, "I don't always want to cook." ”
I glanced at him with a grin, and deliberately explained, and also to deliberately break the dull situation just now.
Come back to me, the look in his eyes just now felt awkward to me.
It's not the first time I've seen that look!
After a while, the young man looked away. His expression was a little helpless: "Xiaoling, after dawn, I plan to go up the mountain"
He didn't have enough to say. But at this time, I stopped talking, I stared at him intently, didn't hear him continue, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you say it?" ”
"Something." He was two simple words.
"Oh, what's the matter?" I paused and asked, can't the guy in front of Xindao finish all at once?
His style is as always always, and at some point the shift may be an illusion on my part.
Again. is stumbling like this, is it because he hasn't taken his mind back yet, or there are other difficulties?
Ask and ask. I'm also thinking, how can the person in front of me remember that one is one play!
Didn't he and I plan to go down the mountain today?
What did he say to me before he went up the mountain last night? It's not like finding a mountain family in the mountains to borrow it temporarily, and by the way, ask about the route.
When we came out of Nanhua Town, we barely encountered pedestrians or caravans passing by along the way.
He wouldn't tell me what was going on in Nanhua. I know it's strange that those caravans left early.
The conditions on the road were also surprising to me.
Nanhua Town is the middle station from Suzhou to Beidi. It stands to reason that when the official road passes, there are a lot of pedestrians, cars and horses coming and going every day.
We came out of the town and went to the mountain village in front of us, and we counted the number of people we met.
At dinner last night, I heard my aunt say that there was a landslide on the official road to rest, and the one who asked for directions in the middle of the night confirmed the news, but I still had doubts in my heart.
In the end, it's because the road is too deserted!
Tsundere teenager analysis speculation. It is said that it may be because of the heavy rain, and there are problems in the front and back sections.
At the moment, it seems that the biggest possibility is still what he said.
Last night. He talked to both his aunt and uncle when I was asleep.
I don't know exactly what they talked about, but I think that with the personality of the tsundere boy, he must inquire clearly before ending the topic.
When the day comes, and the weather improves, don't we continue our journey to the Northlands?
What is the road ahead, is there something wrong with the road conditions he said, isn't it clear at a glance?
I stood still, my mind racing - when did he have a new plan?! To change the route or
Seeing my puzzled expression, the young man was quiet for a moment and then said to me, "Xiaoling, I have thought carefully about what you told me. “
He looked at me and said in a serious and calm tone: "Since you mentioned that the person you met in Nanhua Town doesn't look appropriate, and there seems to be an article behind it, I think it's always right to be careful." ”
When he finished speaking, his eyes looked at me deeply, and I knew that he would definitely listen to what he said to him.
"Yes," I nodded in agreement and said to the boy, "Yes! That's exactly what I mean. "It's just that you want to go up the mountain, what does it have to do with those people in the middle of the night?" I asked him, "Do you want to go to the village and continue to inquire about the news?" ”
The boy didn't answer this time, but looked at me quietly, and I met his eyes, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind.
"Are you going to go directly up the mountain and ask the hunter mentioned by the uncle?"
After thinking about it, I suddenly understood, and I couldn't help but look up at him, because I couldn't think of any other reason for him to have to go to the mountains to find someone before he set off?!
If you want to talk about the reason, it seems that only this reason is the most tenable!
"That's right," the boy nodded at me in response, "Xiaoling, that's what I thought. “
He took a step back, walked to the window, looked out, and then said, "They went up the mountain late at night, not to stay overnight, but to inquire about news. "The place they were going to didn't seem to be familiar with the route, so they came to the village and asked the villagers."
The boy's tone sounded very calm, and I looked at his back, my eyes moved, and then I listened to him. "Xiaoling, I remembered that the villagers who lived here must be familiar with the nearby terrain, but they didn't expect that even such an old villager didn't know about the place called Longyuan Lake."
When the young man spoke, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and put the three words on Longyuan Lake!
He's talking so much today, more than usual, and it's only when the broken thoughts fall to me!
I turned my head to look at him, obviously talking about something important. I thought it was a little funny. "Xiaoling, but after they asked the man last night, didn't they go directly to the mountain to ask?"
The boy paused for a moment and then said, "Then you and I both knew that they had already descended the mountain. "Xiaoling. I think they must have heard the news in the area around the top of the mountain, or at least some eyebrows, otherwise why didn't they wait for the dawn to continue to find someone to inquire! “
The boy was talking to himself as if he were talking to himself, his voice was very soft, but he must have known that I could hear it.
After all, this room is not a big place, and he and I are the two of us in front of us, or a temporary alliance to go to the Northland together.
An improvised combination between me and him. Decided on the premise that you have to share a lot of messages along the way, otherwise what would you do?!
When you encounter various situations on the road, you have to reach a consensus! "Xiaoling. They went down the mountain, and they heard movement all the way, and they didn't turn back and come up, they must have gone out the way they came. “
The boy lowered his head. After a few seconds, he said, "I think they should know that the line they are looking for is still down the mountain." Or maybe it's not far from this place. “
After the young man finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze from the window, turned his head to look at me, and said, "Xiaoling, so I thought about it, and I still think that I should go to the mountains." “
He explained the whole process so clearly, I have no reason to object to it! "Xiaoling, when it gets dawn, I'll ask for the road and go directly to the top of the mountain. To the Orion's house, "the boy stared at me. "You stay here and wait for me." "Why?" When I finally got to the moment when I could express my opinion and answer, I couldn't help but blurt out, "Can't you go together?" “
I want to hear it with my own ears, and I don't want a third person to relay it to me.
When the young man heard this, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he looked at me with a smile and said: "Xiaoling, it rained overnight, and the road on the mountain is too slippery, I'm afraid that you will fall into the mud!" "You just threw a mouthful of mud!" I was angry. "Yesterday, I reminded you, if I hadn't grabbed your arm, you wouldn't have fallen!"
The young man restrained his smile and said to me: "So you can wait with peace of mind, wait here, and I will come back when I go." “
When he had finished speaking, he went straight to the earthen stove and went to stir the fire.
I was stunned for a few seconds before my eyes were fixed on the hem of my coat by the hearth.
He was hiding behind him, and I couldn't see his expression at this moment, probably remembering yesterday's events and laughing!
I was really embarrassed when I went up the mountain.
I sighed and smiled, it wasn't the first time he had seen me like yesterday, I was used to it.
Think about walking in the mountains in the mountains for a while, with a muddy face and a flower face on top of it, walking in the mountains unconsciously!
But there was one thing I decided I had to ask him.
"Hey, young master, you think so much, have you thought carefully about the name of the place?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Have you heard of Longyuan Lake anywhere?" ”
"Didn't you hear that person keep talking about Longyuan Lake!"
I'd like to make sure about it, or at least figure out what that place is!
If the tsundere boy knows a little bit about this place name, he can tell me even a little, at least he has a clue.
"Xiaoling, I'm like you, I've never heard of it before, I'm pretty sure."
The boy's voice sounded behind the stove, firm and steady, and the tone did not sound like a lie.
I gave up for a second the idea of asking.
Maybe he's not lying, and he doesn't know what I'm going to ask him about!
Even if he was lying to me, how could I ask the truth from his mouth, he deliberately concealed it and made it clear that he didn't want to say it.
I think it's better to pin my hope on the villager's house on the top of the mountain where he plans to go for a while, and the hunter walks a lot, didn't the uncle say it?
Maybe people will hear about it.
Still, I'd better go with him.
I walked over to the table and picked up on what I had just done.
Several things were agreed upon, and after daybreak, he went to the mountain to ask the hunters in the village, and when he went down the mountain to continue his journey, he naturally had to take advantage of the time to prepare some food for the road.
By the way, I also made breakfast, as a thank you to the uncle and aunt for taking us in for a night of temporary stay!
It rained so hard at night, at least I didn't stay in the wilderness, and I was able to have a warm room for me to stay
The dangerous area encountered an accident, and the road conditions were not good after going ashore, and the delay of Tianfang and the group was almost enough to arrive according to the original route.
Walking in the mountains, after about a few hours, there was a faint place in front of me where people could be seen, but the weather could not hold on.
As a result, a shower stopped them for another hour, and the group temporarily hid in the cave to avoid the rain.
Waiting for the subordinates and the unlucky boat boss to come in one after another, Tianfang raised his head and glanced at the ship boss.
Something happened to the boat they were on, and Tianfang promised to settle the rest of his money when he got to the next stop.
The captain of the boat followed Tianfang and his party out of the mountain, and the next stop was the place where they left.
He was a little frightened, and met Tianfang's gaze, and immediately walked to the mouth of the cave, not daring to listen to their conversation.
Tianfang summoned his subordinates to approach, picked up a branch in the cave, and drew a topographical map of this area on the ground to explain to them.
Some of them have been stationed in the capital of Zealand, and they do not know much about the area of southern Zealand, and it is time to make up for it
About an hour passed, and when the rain cleared, Tianfang continued to hurry with the people below.
Even he himself sighed that this trip to Xilanan, on the premise that the journey was quite smooth, he didn't expect to arrive at the destination with so many twists and turns.
People are not as good as heaven.
If you add that both sides are obstructing, that's the most depressing part.
Tian relieved himself that the matter of Xilanan could almost be judged to be a man-made disaster, but he didn't dare to bet, the other party just ate the thing he was most worried about, so he dared to make such a move.
He was one step behind in his calculations, so the only way was to rush to Xilanan and settle the matter in person.
"Lord, should we send someone to the dock and ask again, the tea stall over there?"
As the team marched, a subordinate approached and asked.
Before he could finish his sentence, he was beaten on the head by his companion.
"That's a!" "I said that where there is a tea stall like that, even if there is, it has nothing to do with the boat we rented." "They have done something at the bottom of the boat, can they still stupidly wait for us to go to Xingshi to ask for guilt?!"
Hearing the sound on the board, the young man suddenly got up and walked around, he looked at my movements, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?" ”
I looked at him angrily and said, "The eldest young master looks fresh, I haven't seen it." ”
The young man's face was really a little excited, and he stared at the dough for a few seconds before asking, "What do you do?" ”
"It's hard work," I muttered, and suddenly remembered, and my eyes lit up for a moment.
yes, hasn't this guy already tasted what I made?
The time at the inn, he didn't miss his share! He didn't eat less.
The boy is helping me with things, so can't I just ask him to help me temporarily?
The strength to live the young master is still lacking?! (To be continued.) )
