Chapter 102: Invisible Tacit Understanding
I looked at him suspiciously, thinking that the tsundere boy was going to tell me something. ,x.
The result is such a sentence!
I didn't expect his reaction at all.
After hesitating, I asked him, "Young Master, do you want to tell me that one step at a time is one step at a time?" ”
"It's a bit of a discrepancy, but forget it, that's pretty much what it means!"
The man's answer was strange, and I could tell from his tone that he probably didn't want to tell the truth.
At least, he won't say it at this time, and it's useless to ask.
As the boy spoke, his eyes rolled in my face.
He observed my expression, and then the corners of his mouth raised to me, "Xiaoling, I'll check it when I get to the valley." ”
"It's not too late to tell you after seeing the situation!"
He added affirmatively.
I met his gaze for a moment and was speechless.
I silently lowered my head and said to myself, I want to get used to it!
Get used to the eldest young master's eccentric personality, get used to his moodiness, and get used to his careful eyes.
Because on the way to the Northland, he still has to be by my side for a while!
"Young Master."
I came to my senses and called out to him.
"What's wrong?" The tsundere boy turned to me and asked.
I stared at him and said in an accentuated tone: "Young Master, next time you encounter a similar situation, you just don't mention it!" ”
"What's wrong?" The young man said nonchalantly.
I glared at him and said, "You don't want to get stuck in the middle of your sentence, which will make people the most uncomfortable." ”
"I like it. Can you manage it, how can the master say that it is the master's business, I want you to teach?! ”
The tsundere teenager raised his voice a little.
Talking and talking. He also raised the pine branch that he was holding in his hand that had been broken off the cliff.
Look like you look at it, do it at your own risk, don't mess with me.
All right! I shrunk my neck and swallowed the rest of the words back.
It's so annoying to threaten Shenma!
Knowing that I was afraid of him coming to do this, I just had to close my eyes and think about it, and the scene where I was made by him would appear, which was really indescribable.
After a few moments of silence, I stuck my head out. Glancing down.
I turned to the boy and said, "Okay, there's no point in arguing. ”
"While the weather is okay, let's move on. Don't just stop halfway. ”
You have to quarrel when you stop here, and for the sake of the uncertain future, it's better to restrain your feelings.
In fact, the tsundere boy was right.
When things come to an end, it's more intuitive to face them!
Count to the bottom. At least more than half the way. How can I wait here to waste my time?!
I said that the climate in the mountains is changeable, and I am a little worried, and it is important to seize the opportunity to hurry for a while.
"You've had enough rest?" The boy stopped where he was, looked at me and asked, and looked at me again.
"It's okay, let's go on," I met his gaze. Don't dodge, don't dodge," I thought about it. Anyway, it will always go down, and it is useless to delay. ”
The young man got up and motioned to me, "It's not that I'm worried that your body can't keep up. ”
The next second, he also muttered in a low voice: "Drag your feet." ”
I have good ears, and I can clearly hear him complaining about me, but I just ignore him.
"Xiaoling, let me tell you, you definitely have to practice, and when we finish the task and continue to hurry, we will teach you well when the time comes."
"Xiaoling, at the beginning of the trial"
The young man was interested, and he didn't mean to stop at all, so I hurriedly stopped him from continuing to nag!
"Young Master, even if you are not satisfied with me now, you will have to wait until later."
It's quiet!
I looked down and sighed at the bottom of the valley, shrouded in mist.
From the angle from which I was standing with him, I really couldn't see what kind of terrain was underneath.
I had a vague hunch in my heart that if nothing else, it was probably still a dense forest.
There may not be a road, and it may need to be reclaimed by intruders.
Thinking of the previous actions of the tsundere boy, I know that it is very hard to walk such a road.
Even if he looks like he has inexhaustible strength, and he still has a sharp weapon in his hand, but it is too exhausting to really cut off the dead vines and branches on the road that block the way!
It seems that when the time comes, we have to think of a way.
As I thought about it, the same thought crossed my mind again.
Since the environment is harsh and the situation is unknown, the guy who escaped from the alien camp must go from here, it's incredible!
Does he have some special reason why he has to go to the deep valley underneath?!
In fact, when he left the alien camp, it happened to be in the middle of the night.
It is said that the group transported some of the hostages captured from the alien camp to another place, and they were sent by horse-drawn carts.
Except for the bustle for a while, the rest of the people in the camp were at their quietest time in the middle of the night.
Otherwise he wouldn't have picked to leave at that time!
When the escapees came out, they didn't alarm anyone, how could they be noticed and chased after them in such a short time?!
In other words, since the escapees are familiar with the route in the mountains, they can completely change the escape route.
He didn't have to come to the cave where we had been walking for so long.
How can there be only one road in the huge mountain?
He had a choice, but he didn't.
I can already draw a clear conclusion.
He took this difficult path completely deliberately, and generally there would have been a purpose in doing so.
What is his purpose?!
Have you ever thought about these strange questions?
I subconsciously had doubts.
When I raised my head to look at him, I heard him immediately shout: "Xiaoling, what are you doing, can you still be distracted on the cliff?" ”
"Beware of falling. Concentrate on where to stay. ”
I put aside my thoughts, and as soon as he said it, I concentrated and continued to "walk" down.
The "road" on the cliff became easier and easier to find as I progressed down. The foothold can be determined quickly.
I believe that my current appearance is more satisfying than the first one is to the tsundere boy.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to hear him say in a deep voice: "Xiaoling, yes, this time is better than at the beginning." ”
"Practice makes perfect, it seems," he paused. He continued, "After a long time, you'll be able to find a way." ”
There was a hint of praise in the boy's tone. I even heard a little bit of honor.
"Xiaoling, you can worship me as a master."
"Actually, I think it's a pity for you, if you were a kid I knew you. You can follow the children of the Yuwen family to experience together. As he spoke, he paused again, his expression satisfied.
"You certainly don't look like that now."
It's annoying! Who wants to know him from an early age!
The eldest young master should get used to it, thinking that everyone is as self-righteous as him!
I complained in my heart, and I couldn't say anything against my heart, so I had to keep silent.
Reason told me that the eldest young master was so friendly, he should follow him and say something appropriate to the situation.
Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to do that. So I gave up on the idea.
The boy looked at me more and said, "You think it's a pity, don't you?" ”
"Hmm" I didn't continue, I only secretly said in my heart what a pity!
The three of them walked through the lobby of the inn to the backyard.
"Master Ding. When you went out earlier, a relative of your family came to visit and said that he was looking for you. ”
When he walked into the kitchen door, the young man suddenly turned to the cook.
Tianfang on the side moved his eyes and listened to the two of them talking.
"Did he say something?" The cook asked.
"I didn't say it, I just said that it was best for you to go there in the evening." The young man scratched his head.
"Okay, when I'm done eating, I'll take a trip."
"Yes, I'm old," the young man paused, "Master Ding, I don't think it's easy for him to walk around with a cane, you better go and see, maybe there is something really important." ”
The two of them said a few words, walked into the kitchen door, and Tianfang followed behind to observe the situation around them.
Tianfang looked at the ready-made ingredients in the kitchen, the neatly stacked baskets, and the seasoning jars by the stove.
He turned his head and glanced out the window, and heard the cook, the young man, Master Ding, say to him, "Help me get some water, the big vat in the kitchen is empty." ”
After listening to this, the young man ran to the side of the tank with a smile, looked at it, and immediately said to him: "Master Ding, you are cooking, the guests are still waiting, I will go." ”
There are only two people left in the kitchen, Tianfang and Master Ding.
The latter began to make fire preparations, which seemed to be more redundant.
He wanted to see what the little girl's "fresh dishes" were like, but now the young man left, and the cook began to get busy again.
It is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing to stay alone in the kitchen every day.
His eyes followed the innkeeper's cook, and he saw them methodically walking to the stove and starting a fire.
As soon as you look at your skillful movements, you know that you are always doing things.
There are not many people in the inn, and Tianfang has already found out, and it is estimated that the people who work here have to wear multiple positions when they are busy and there are not enough people.
It stands to reason that the man who helped in the kitchen did the work of the fire, and the only young man at the moment was assigned to fetch water from the well.
Tianfang walked around the kitchen casually, taking a closer look at the vegetables in the basket and the dry goods hanging there.
He stopped, stood still and thought for a few seconds, and then decided to go to the well and talk to the young man more
Tianfang walked to the well platform in the backyard.
When the young man saw him enter, he quickly straightened up and smiled at him, and then began to get busy.
Tianfang didn't care about his expression, and his eyes were completely focused on his hand.
I saw the young man crouching down and putting a barrel with a long rope hanging into the well.
I guess I'm used to doing it.
Tianfang watched him slowly lower the wooden bucket under the bottom, and then slowly pulled the bucket up, his brow furrowed slightly.
Generally speaking, Tianfang rarely notices these irrelevant things, but thinking that he has to inquire about the whereabouts of the little junior sister from the little guy, he pays extra attention to it.
The young man smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The water tank in the big kitchen must be filled with water, so it is more convenient to use it." ”
"That's right."
Tianfang nodded and agreed, just wanted to ask about the little junior sister, but looking at the young man's movements, his thoughts were involved in something else.
"Your method of fetching water looks quite strenuous," Tianfang looked thoughtfully at the young man's movements and suddenly asked after a short pause, "Isn't there a mechanism for fetching water here in Nanhua Town?" ”
He had been observing it for a while, and he had already noticed.
The young man suddenly heard Tianfang say this, and he was stunned and looked at him without answering.
His expression was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect someone to ask that.
Tianfang paused and continued: "Actually, it's a very simple device. ”
He looked at the well, glanced at the young man out of the corner of his eye, and then said calmly: "You can save a lot of effort to bring the water up." ”
"Isn't there anyone doing it in Nanhua Town?"
The young man suddenly laughed, and he looked at the sky for a moment.
Tianfang looked back at him suspiciously, not understanding the reason for the other party's laughter.
"I'll tell you the truth, there are inns in town that do this."
The young man replied smoothly, his gaze still rolling on Tianfang's face.
He couldn't see the guest's face, thinking that it was probably because the other party was inconvenient to reveal his identity and wanted to avoid suspicion, but he could see that he must be the son of a rich family.
It is said that in a place like an inn, there are indeed a lot of guests of all kinds.
"We don't have it here," the young man said, glancing at the sky, and continued, "but the shopkeeper said that he had to find an opportunity to consult the people of the inn." ”
"Let's see if we can get a similar device."
Before the young man finished speaking, he heard Tianfang cough and said, "That's not difficult." ”
At this point, the young man finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
Tianfang looked at him confusedly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly restrained his feelings and eased his tense expression.
The young man stopped laughing, looked at the sky and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't laugh at what you said, but I really couldn't help it just now." ”
"Did you know that the guest who came here the other day said the same thing to me?"
A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he said seriously to Tianfang.
"He said it was too much effort to carry the water, and asked me if I had ever thought of getting a mechanism."
As he spoke, Tianfang's face covered by the hood showed a surprised expression, staring at the young man.
"Anyway, exactly like you said."
The young man's face flashed with a sly smile and said to the sky: "If you hadn't looked at him as a person at all, I would have thought I was confused!" ”
"That's what he told me at the time."
The young man recalled for a moment.
Tianfang's curiosity was instantly aroused, and he couldn't help but ask, "What else did that guest tell you?" ”
"He also told me that this device is not difficult, and he will do it, but he is in a hurry and has no time to delay."
The young man thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth flashed again: "What a coincidence. ”
"I don't mention that you must not believe it," the young man looked at the sky and said with a smile, "This guest is the guest of our Chef Ding who has learned new dishes!" (To be continued.) )
