In the cave, it was windy and rainy outside, and the attention of the boy and I was focused on the decrepit uncle.

He was indifferent when it came to the road conditions, well, to be honest, the uncle's table made me feel very strange.

I frowned and watched his reaction coldly.

I stared at him for a moment, thought for a moment and continued: "There is a section of the mountain road that crosses the mountain stream. ”

"When I passed, the bridge over there broke"

"Uncle, let me tell you, when I came, I met a group of dart walkers in the middle of the road, and I went to Nanhua Town to pick up the darts."

I paused, then glanced towards where the tsundere boy was.

His expression was as I expected, the same smile I was familiar with.

I gave him a blank look, retracted my gaze and continued: "That mountain stream swelled, and with the heavy rain, the water washed away the original bridge. “

I stared at my uncle as I spoke, continuing to observe his reaction.

To my regret, his reaction was to listen absentmindedly!

You could tell from the look in his eyes that he wasn't interested in these things.

If he went out from here and arrived at the official road, and his destination was to go directly to Suzhou to take a boat, how could he not be interested in the road he was going to take, the road conditions of that section of the road?

"When I came to Nanhua Town, it was raining heavily in the middle of the road, and I took shelter from the rain in the mountain temple at that time."

The corners of my mouth tugged slightly, and said, "I heard that the people in the dart bureau have discussed finding dead wood in the forest to build bridges. ”

"At that time, I also contributed to help repair together."

The person in front of him never lifted his head once, and he continued to sort out the things in his baggage.

I sighed, one step closer to the truth.

I can finally conclude that he is going, and perhaps not Zealandan, he is going at all!

Those are the covers!

The boy walked over and patted me on the shoulder.

He'd done it more than once on the road, but this time it had a different meaning.

I know he meant to comfort me.

It seems that I still have to learn from the young master of the Yuwen family, who has much more experience than me, to observe people's skills!

Earlier, I complained that he was overly nervous, but now it seems that I am too easy to trust people.

I looked at the young man who was staring at me on the side, and hesitated for a moment, but the next question came up, since the uncle's destination was not as he said, where was he going?

The people in the alien camp have a deal with the Sealand army, but why was he arrested together as a wandering individual traveler?

I looked at him suspiciously, and put a question mark in my mind

The guard stood at the door and glanced at the talking lady and Tianfang.

Listening to him ask, it was the former who answered faster.

The eldest lady said to Tianfang and the guards on the side: "You eat at my house at noon, and I'll make something to eat later." ”

Without waiting for Tianfang to answer, the eldest lady wanted to get up and go to the kitchen.

Tianfang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the eldest lady and said with a smile: "I have to help you see your leg disease, you can wait here with peace of mind." ”

"However, you were right just now, we do want to stay with you."

Tianfang said in a soothing tone: "If it's convenient, it's bothering." ”

He spoke with an apologetic expression.

The gaze that looked at the eldest lady was as gentle as ever.

"Where, where," the eldest lady sighed, "it's just that there is nothing good to eat at home, and it may snub the guests." ”

Tianfang made a gesture, the guard took a step closer, he turned his head to look at the eldest lady and said, "If you don't mind, I'll let them cook." ”

The eldest lady suddenly opened her mouth in surprise.

Tianfang coughed, and then explained: "What I see now, as I mentioned earlier, is that both of them are working in the infirmary. ”

Tianfang said calmly: "One of them is usually free to help in the kitchen of the medical hall. ”

He looked at the eldest lady and said, "Don't worry, they know what to do." ”

Hearing this, the eldest lady nodded suddenly, and her eyes swept over the guy standing by the door and said, "Then the two little brothers will have to work hard." ”

"Auntie, you are too polite, it will be hard to cook a meal!"

Tianfang turned his head to look at the guard, and he immediately shut up and exited the house

The guards approached the stove and saw that their companions were already cooking a fire!

He shook his head and looked at his companion and said, "This time I came out with the master, and I have to be a cook, you didn't expect it!" ”

His companion met his gaze and smiled, "To tell you the truth, I really didn't expect it." ”

"Before we set off, I thought about it, thinking that we would go to the field to find food and collect firewood to make a fire," the companion said in a changed tone, "but I really didn't expect to work in the mountain people's house." ”

The two men stood by the stove and said a few words.

The guard asked his companion, "Does the Lord really want to help the eldest lady see her leg disease?" ”

"Didn't the Lord say that?"

The companion said in an affirmative tone: "With our lord's personality, the words have been spoken, and they must be done, don't you know?" ”

"I think it's probably because the little junior sister has also seen the leg disease for the eldest lady of this family."

The companion lowered his voice and said, his eyes looked at the room where Tianfang and the eldest lady were staying, and the meaning in his eyes was clear.

"At this hour, there are not many people in the village!"

The guards followed his line of sight across the courtyard and looked at the road at the entrance of the village halfway up the mountain.

My companion was right, at this moment, the mountain people in the village had gone out.

They either went up to the mountains to hunt, or went to the town to catch the market like the grandfather of the family.

Most of those who stayed at home were also chopping wood and washing vegetables to prepare lunch.

They all have their own things to do, but they didn't think that they would be busy cooking in the mountain people's houses, and their companions couldn't help but sigh when they thought about it.

The guard looked at him, and continued: "Even if we find out the exact news, it seems that the little junior sister of the Lord has gone to the mountains, can you be sure of this?" ”

The companion immediately answered: "That's right, it looks like I did go to the mountains." ”

"But when you go down the mountain from here, and then look along the road ahead, that place seems to be full of mountains and forests."

His words immediately resonated with the guard, who nodded, "That's what I meant." ”

"It's nice if you can see the plains at a glance, but it's a pity that they are all deep mountains."

"Not only that, but I know that those families are scattered in the mountains, especially the hunters in the mountains, and some of them live alone."

"It's not the first time we've gone back to the mountains to search!"

The guard thought for a moment and continued.

"Such a large range, let's go to the little junior sister, do you say it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"Our people have been out for two days, and they haven't found any exact traces."

"Right now, I just know that the little junior sister is in that mountain, do you think the Lord really plans to go there and look around?"

Speaking of which, it feels like it's really difficult, and it's very difficult to find it.

"I remind you and you that there is no need for us to question what the Lord has thought about."

"Okay," the guard said a little helplessly, of course he was right

"Auntie, how many families are there in this village?"

"When we watched from afar on the official road, we saw a lot of people on the mountain," Tianfang thought for a while and asked the eldest lady sitting opposite, "Since you are close to the official road, how many strangers are you here?" ”

"Everyone who comes here likes to inquire about this," the eldest lady nodded in response, "The little brother from last time was too." ”

"There are a lot of people passing by, we are not far from the bottom of the mountain, and the road to the Northland is also the road."

The terrain was very clear, and he had looked at the map many times to know the route and location of the area.

"When those people come to our neighborhood, many of them will go up the mountain and stay overnight."

The eldest lady said calmly: "So almost no one has ever broken off coming and going." ”

"It's been a while lately, but it's not much, just because I heard that the Northland is going to war again!."

The eldest lady looked at Tianfang and paused, and then said: "There were a lot of people passing by some time ago, and many of them came by with their families. "There are merchants who have come back from the Northlands, and they have been doing business in the Northlands all year round, and almost all of them have made their homes there."

"As soon as I heard the news of the war, I had to move back with my family."

The eldest mother's actions just explained from the side that she didn't feel too abrupt even when she saw Tianfang and the three of them coming to the house.

They are used to seeing strangers all year round.

"The two brothers who came two days ago, I also asked them, what are you doing in the northland?"

As soon as the words fell, Tianfang immediately moved his eyes to the eldest lady.

His eyes were inquiring.

"They told me that someone in the family was working over there, and it was also because of the war in the Northland, and they wanted to find someone and come back together."

The eldest lady looked at Tianfang and said, "Do you know about this?" ”

Tianfang was a little speechless for a while, he hesitated for a few seconds, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "I know." ”

The eldest lady nodded

The guard looked at his companion, and the latter asked him, "Since you're cooking in the infirmary, can you decide what to do for lunch?" ”

Their conversation sounded a bit of a joke, and they were making fun of his companion behind his back.

The guard shook his head and said, "You and I are not cooks, and we can only cook a few home-cooked dishes." ”

"Don't worry, the Lord knows this better than anyone else, and he won't ask us to make delicacies from the mountains and seas."

"We don't have that ability!"

After thinking about it, the guard said, "Well, I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and you can see what is in this kitchen." ”

After the guard finished speaking, he went out to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

My companion walked around the kitchen to see what ingredients were available.

He saw a pile of black stuff in the corner of the kitchen.

When he looked closer, he noticed that the pile was a root food similar to potatoes, which must be unique to the mountains in this area.

Companions are very experienced in dealing with this.

In the past, when they found it, they threw it in the fire and roasted it.

Now that he saw it, he had to take some and put them by the hearth and bury them in the ashes.

The kitchens of the mountain folk houses were all simple spices, and when my companions approached, they saw that in addition to the salt jars, there were also small jars containing the almost grease that they had boiled at home.

He looked down at the things by the stove slowly

Outside, the sky was getting darker, and the sound of thunder was heard in my ears.

The eldest lady looked out of the window, saw the sky changing, and said to the sky: "This day is unreliable, it looks like it's going to rain." ”

"If it really rains heavily, you can stay at my house for one night and then leave."

The eldest lady's tone was refreshing and authentic.

Tianfang turned his gaze out the window and looked at the sky on that side of the sky a little distracted.

He was not in a state, and he didn't care about his aunt's words for a while.

One of the guards outside the door is here again.

The guy came up to ask for advice, and told him about the ingredients he saw in the stove and asked for the eldest mother's opinion.

As soon as the guard interrupted, Tianfang's spirit was concentrated again, and after thinking about it, he said, "Just make a few simple dishes." ”

The eldest lady echoed on the side: "How can you be so particular, you two look at it, little brother." ”

The guards couldn't help but snicker when they went out, obviously they had arrived at the mountain people's homes, and it took a lot of work, why did the Lord feel like the master here!

It's the lady, as if she was a guest.

As he approached the stove, the guard who was picking vegetables in the backyard also ran back.

Holding a few inconspicuous-looking vegetables in his hand.

"In the winter, the vegetables are like this when they are frozen, don't underestimate it."

His companion looked at him and said, "This dish is actually quite fresh and tastes acceptable." ”

"You have to eat to know, you look at the fire, I'll wash the vegetables."

The two of them were busy in the stove of the eldest mother's house, and they also made tea and sent it over.

Even the eldest lady couldn't help but praise Tianfang: "The medical hall is neat, and the hands and feet are very fast." ”

Tianfang pursed his lips and smiled, looking away.

Outside the window, the black clouds were getting lower and lower, and it seemed that this heavy rain was inevitable

Tianfang drank tea, looked at the eldest lady and asked, "Do you think you want to start now?" ”

The guards were working in the stove, and Tianfang was in the house with the eldest mother.

The eldest lady watched him take out a box from the baggage he was carrying, and her eyes lit up.

She has seen a doctor in the town, so she naturally knows what is inside, it seems that Tianfang does have real kung fu, otherwise how would she carry this with her?

Facing the eldest lady's gaze, Tianfang looked at her and asked, "What did he do when my brother came last time?" ”

That's what it means to ask about the past.

The eldest lady listened to Tianfang's words, and suddenly reached out and patted the table and said, "I almost forgot about it, I really didn't bother to say it beforehand last time." “

The eldest lady got up, walked to the wooden cabinet on the side, reached out and groped on the upper floor, and took out a piece of paper.

Tianfang watched the eldest lady take the paper and fold it back to the table, and then handed it over.

"Your brother asked me about my condition carefully, and also asked about the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the town."

The eldest lady paused and said, "Look at it, this is the general appearance of the medicinal materials in the mountain he painted, and ask me if I have this at that time?" ”

Tianfang took it, saw the pattern of medicinal herbs drawn on the paper clearly, and the corners of his mouth immediately rose: "That's right, it's my little brother's handwriting." (To be continued.) )
