The situation in front of me reaffirms my point. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Young Master, I'm sorry, I have to stop."

I spotted a large rock on the edge of the water, which seemed to me a good place to stop and rest.

I felt a little helpless, but even if I rested for a few minutes, I had to let my legs and feet slow down, otherwise I couldn't continue to walk.

It is an indisputable fact that they lose physically.

The boy didn't say anything more and nodded at me.

Without much hesitation, I approached the big rock.

Sit down next to the place where the warm water flows.

So, the three of them sat down to rest by the water's edge.

The passage ahead can be seen to be slowly widening, which means that our stress is reduced.

That's the most important reason why I dare to stop.

Generally speaking, when the mountain stream behind him has a gradually increasing momentum, people in a hurry will definitely not dare to stop rashly.

Because experience has taught us that it is not impossible to encounter a terrible scenario such as a flash flood.

I think the section from Suzhou to Nanhua was because of heavy rain.

At that time, the water of the mountain stream skyrocketed, reaching an alarming trend.

That force is enough to break bridges, let alone people!

Right now, we're in an airtight passageway, and there's no elevated place to cling to to avoid the water.

But the turning point came inadvertently, and knowing that the situation ahead was not as bad as we imagined, the whole person's mood changed.

Looking at the moment ago, Uncle Decrepit's appearance and his expression right now can immediately see the difference.

Yes, at least the water is flowing downstream, and we don't have to worry too much about the water rising too fast for the time being!

The passage ahead has become more wide, allowing more water to flow through the passage...... I have reason to believe that this passage will continue to widen and widen.

After a break, there is one more difference from the original, that is, there is one more choice in front of the three of us.

In addition to continuing along, you can also try walking in the direction of the hot spring water.

Which place is where we came...... Sometimes parallel passages should lead to the mountains.

The hot spring water was met on the road shortly after we descended to the bottom of the deep valley.

On the face of it, both options are feasible.

It's just that if you think about it from the perspective of direction, it seems to be ...... Walking forward sounds more reasonable.

I looked at the tsundere boy, made eye contact with him, and immediately said what I thought.

The two of us kept a consultative tone all the way through.

When the time comes to make a decision, I will leave the final decision to him.

Because with great power comes great responsibility!

At critical moments, we have to rely on the eldest young master to save us from danger, and there is no reason not to respect this person's opinion.

"I think if we go all the way along the hot spring water, we might be able to re-enter the deep valley where we came down at the beginning."

I have thought about this problem, and naturally I feel that it is not impossible to do so.

Walking along the course of the hot springs will inevitably lead to an upstream point somewhere in the valley, and then find a way to climb the rocks, which can be regarded as another way out.

I paused, then continued, "But in my opinion, it's better not to choose." ”

I frowned, raised my voice a little and said, "Because in that case, even if we find a way out, the time we spent on the road will be in vain!" ”

Besides, even if we go up, it will take a long time to get back to the official road, which is completely different from our expected goal of approaching the next stop.

Even if we wait for the official road, if we think about rushing to the next town north of Nanhua Town, we will be delayed a lot.

No matter how you count it, a day's work is absolutely indispensable!

Seeking the near and far is definitely not a good solution!

The boy and Uncle Decrepit rarely glanced at each other.

Along the way, they often don't make mistakes, and it is very rare to be able to sit together so calmly.

Because I am the middleman on the road, I have repeatedly eased the atmosphere between them.

Suddenly, the two of them agreed with me.

The main thing is that he has to agree with the tsundere boy, and the decrepit uncle on the side ...... From the moment he made his choice to follow us, there shouldn't be too many objections to our choice in the future.

The choice of the teenager, more than once proved that he was not wrong, this is the benefit of experience.

Wading through the water and moving on, this time the journey was much more arduous than before.

But the situation was changing all the time, and I looked at the boy and asked, "Where are we now, what is the height?" ”

The waterfall, the huge drop and the abyss below reminded me of the complex topography of the mountains.

While keeping an eye on the exit ahead, I had to worry about the height difference.

"Xiaoling, there is no reference, I can't judge."

I sighed and said, "The water is flowing downward, and I think for the time being that the direction of the road ahead is in a gradual decline." ”

The young man looked at me, nodded, and then asked, "Xiaoling, what did you think of?" ”

"No," I continued, after a pause, "I don't think I have enough brains. ”

I looked at the tsundere boy and said, "I was curious to know what those aliens were looking for, and I had all kinds of speculations in my heart. ”

The moment when we lurked on the outskirts of the alien camp was when my curiosity was at its peak.

I've always wanted to know the truth, wondering if it has anything to do with the war!

"When I stumble into this place by mistake, my suspicions will be even more," I looked at the tsundere boy and said in an unabashed tone, "I listened to what the uncle said, and I always felt that things were not so simple." ”

I blinked, and turned to look at the uncle who was waiting on the side.

At the moment, he looked down and thought about his thoughts.

I don't know how many more memories of the past can I hear from him.

I'm guessing with the tsundere boy in the end, and I'm always a little different from him.

The fact that aliens would make deals with the people of the king was like planting a deep bomb, which made me feel uneasy.

I think that the water is too muddy in the final analysis, and if I knew that Yun Chu would also be involved, I would definitely do my best to stop it before he made a decision.

But I don't have a choice, the people around me are strategizing and thinking deeply.

Even when two people are facing each other, I haven't even figured out what that person really thinks in the back of his heart.

As long as I think of this, my mind drifts away, and I can't tell the melancholy in my heart.

After being quiet for a while, I silently thought in my heart that after I came out of Nanhua Town with the tsundere boy, in the process of rushing along the way, every place I had been to, as far as possible, was not missed.

After clearing my thoughts, I looked at the young man and continued, "Young Master, shouldn't Master Wang be about to arrive in the Northland at this time?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, looked at me intently, and after a moment he nodded and said, "Although we didn't go out, and the news can't be known exactly, but if you estimate it...... Xiaoling, it's almost. ”

That's not good news for me.

I'm still stuck wading through the water in the cave passage, and the people I'm looking for on the other side have gone to the Northlands!

Thinking of this, I shook my head rather helplessly.

...... Tianfang took the guards through the small alley and returned to the inn where he stayed along the path.

Along the way, almost all the pedestrians they met in the town were in a hurry.

The clouds were getting lower and lower, and it looked like a heavy rain was brewing.

In the middle of winter, and the temperature is so low...... If heavy rain falls, the people who get drenched in it will probably get sick.

There are rain gear to buy in town, but those rain gear will not withstand the downpour.

The guards were glad in their hearts, fortunately, they had arrived in the town smoothly instead of following the official road of Tianfang at this time.

Heavy rain in the mountains is certainly much worse.

...... Tianfang and the guards walked very fast, passing through the alley, and they were familiar with the way to the small gate at the north end of the inn.

When they entered, they were surprised to discover a new situation.

Looking up, Tianfang followed the guards who came with him and found that several burly young men wearing similar clothes to inn boys appeared at some distance from the door.

It's about the inn's nursing home!

Tian Xin couldn't help but guess.

They came in through the door, and a few young men dressed as innkeepers only glanced at them slightly, keeping their distance and not coming.

Neither stepped forward to greet the two of them, nor did they inquire.

"Lord," the guards lowered their voices and asked, "Are those people just now the servants of the innkeeper's hired guards?" ”

You must know that when they left, there were no such people, but when they came back, they bumped into them, and the guards inevitably felt strange in their hearts.

"Seemingly, it seems to be."

Tianfang replied simply, his tone was not very sure, but he felt that the guard's guess was probably not wrong.

Because the clothes of those men were similar to those worn by the young men who received them when they entered the inn before.

It can't be a new guest who has just moved in, and the people under him just happen to coincide with the clothes of the guys here at the inn, right?!

When the sky turned his eyes, after passing through the grove, he could faintly see the row of houses that were said to be inhabited by people below.

There are cooks who can open a small stove over there, and there are also men who can listen to the command, and they can just talk about something to do.

His gaze wandered over the row of rooms, and the guards who followed him were suspicious.

"Lord, what's wrong over there?"

The guard looked at Tianfang and asked subconsciously.

Tianfang didn't respond, but shook his head.

"My lord," the guard continued, "a few of us went to the lobby of the front yard to inquire about the news, and I wonder how they are doing now!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded on the path ahead.

Tianfang's eyes froze, and his footsteps stagnated, it seemed that there were other guests going out from the small building, planning to choose the same route as Tianfang before them.

Planning to wander the streets of town?

Because I know that idle people can't enter and exit the inn at will, and the most quiet North Park with the highest price rate...... Therefore, the guests you meet here must be the guests who live in the same small building as the Tianfang Release.

The two men walked down the road, stopped talking, and then slowed down.

The people who came from the other side seemed to have heard the movement of Tianfang here a long time ago, and they didn't say a word the whole time.

They walked through the dense woods and deliberately detoured around the rockery, as if they were not going to collide with them head-on.

Different paths were chosen on both sides, crisscrossing at different points separated by some trees.

They had no intention of seeing clearly how many people were here, what their dress or identity was, and the other party had no intention of revealing themselves.

"Lord, why do you think that the guests who live here are all similar personalities and don't want to attract attention?"

The guard spoke in a tone that was half questioning and half affirmative.

"Doesn't the scope you said include us?"

Tianfang looked at the backs of the gang for a while, and then retracted his gaze to look at the guard.

"yes, we're the same." The guards are rightfully authentic.

"Let's go, go and hear what the people in the inn lobby have to say, have they met the people they want to meet!"

Tianfang said in a light tone.

He and the two guards walked through the woods, one after the other.

By the time we arrived at the small building, the rain had already begun to fall.

Soon, the raindrops became a line, and the process was extremely fast, as if there was no room for any relaxation.

The rain was falling rapidly, and when Tianfang and the guards reached the stairs, they stopped and stood under the eaves.

Tianfang and the guards looked up and saw the anxious face of another guard in the corridor upstairs.

"Looks like you're coming back sooner than we do?"

...... When I got upstairs, there was only one person at the door of Tianfang's room.

Two wounded guards...... One of them had an even more serious injury on his arm, and it was the man waiting outside the door at the moment!

"Lord," the man called, and Tianfang immediately made a gesture.

The three of them entered through the doorway, reached the house, and closed the door tightly.

"Why don't you see the other two brothers?"

didn't wait for Tianfang to ask questions, and the guards who accompanied him asked first.

The injured man looked at the sky and said, "Our people are still guarding the lobby of the front yard. ”

He explained to Tianfang: "Because I met the group of people talking in the private room of the restaurant, they also left two people to wait in the inn. ”

"I heard that the rest of the people have gone out and arrived all over the town, thinking that once the young master of their family enters the town, he will meet him as soon as possible."

Tianfang's expression was calm, and he didn't feel too surprised, and he knew where they stayed when they were at the inn.

In other words, in the town, slightly more discerning guests should choose the inn where they are located.

Since it is the largest in town, and there are rooms in different price ranges that cater to the preferences of guests, business is the norm.

In addition, the young man also mentioned that the cook is delicious, which will become another selling point.

"Questions?"

Tianfang sat down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. (To be continued.) )
