Chapter Forty-Six: Seize the Opportunity
The young man looked sideways at my face, and he said to me in a flat tone, "Xiaoling, didn't you give me advice before?" “
He glanced at me, "What do you need to ask me to do now?" ”
"Young Master, the problem is that you haven't given me a definite answer," my eyes swept over the two guys tied to the tree, and I turned to look at the young man and said, "Are you going to let these two people go or?"
I hesitated for the boy's answer, pausing to take in his expression.
The man's face was pale and he couldn't read what he was thinking for a while.
"It's not okay to let it go, I don't want to make extraneous branches."
The young man's tone changed, he looked at me and said, "But I didn't want to embarrass them too much. “
He groaned and continued, "Tie them to a tree!" Pretty good. “
I looked at the tsundere boy dumbfounded, what do you mean it's good? Isn't that what makes it difficult for them?
What he said didn't seem to be what I imagined!
I stood there, stunned and looked at him with an extremely calm expression, thinking in my heart.
I was about to ask him again, but the boy spoke before me.
"Xiaoling, if you don't return after dark, their family may come to you," the young man paused and continued, "At that time, you and I would have long since gone away. ”
"No hindrance."
The young man looked at me thoughtfully.
I can understand what he means from his tone, it's actually a very simple thing, because in the eyes of the eldest young master of the Yuwen family, this method is already a better way to deal with it!
Like their home. The family is big and the business is big, and the people who commit crimes every year will definitely suffer a lot.
Since the tsundere boy grew up in a mansion, he must have seen a lot of it. In his opinion, this is already very kind now!
Because I didn't think about their lives, I'm sure of that, neither I nor the tsundere boy want to have a human life on their hands.
"Wait a minute." I think the two must have heard what the eldest young master said, so they don't need to explain more.
Seeing that the boy was leaving, I thought of another stubble. Hurriedly shouted to stop him.
"Young Master, just wait for me for a while."
If I don't mention it, take his steps. I'm sure I'll be away in a moment, where can I catch up!
Later, I turned back to the stream and looked for some common herbs nearby. Handle it briefly and bring it back.
It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing. Didn't I come here a few days ago on the way to Nanhua Town, and I don't know what happened to the people in the dart bureau, I heard that they took over the business of the customers in Nanhua Town.
When I saw the lively market in Nanhua Town, I could see from another aspect that that place is still rich for the people.
Don't look at it as a small place, there are big rich people in small places, right?!
My thoughts turned, and I thought about the two people who were still tied up in the forest, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Anyway. Those two were unlucky enough, and first ran into a group of people who had a quarrel. Although their attitude is not good, but how to say!
I think both sides are at fault, and then I ran into me and the tsundere boy, and it was really unlucky!
Because there was one before, he was frightened and the horse was hit, so one of the two drew a knife when he saw the tsundere boy.
Why do you think about it for a while, and think it's quite pitiful? More like self-defense?!
The main reason is that this guy next to me looks scary with a straight face!
I returned to the forest with the herbs I had collected and processed by the stream, and walked slowly to the tree, and at this moment several pairs of eyes were glued to what I was holding!
I thought about it, I didn't care about the sprain, but the unlucky guy who broke a big piece of skin, as a doctor of a three-legged cat, I still dutifully rinsed his wound with a kettle, and then applied herbs.
I glanced at him and said in a light tone: "Your wound is not a big deal, as long as you don't get dirty, find some herbs to dress, it will get better quickly!"
As for whether it will leave a scar, I don't think he cares about it, because he has more than one old injury on his leg.
After treating the fellow's wounds, I left a whole herb at his feet from the brook and motioned to him, "You can see clearly, this is what I picked by the stream, and you will pick it yourself when the time comes." ”
The man looked at me gratefully, they couldn't speak for a while, they couldn't move, because they were tied to a tree, but the eyes could represent what was in their hearts, and I understood it when I saw him.
As for the one next to me, he got a lot more eye knives than me!
I didn't participate in the operation from beginning to end, he did it alone, and the only time I came forward for the whole thing was to help treat the wound right now.
Compare my heart to my heart, and replace me with those two, I must have a grudge against the tsundere boy, just like he is very self-aware, and most of the people who follow me are a small follower!
It's a good feeling!
The small followers who do not play a decisive role can sometimes be ignored.
While I was doing things seriously, the boy was watching my movements intently.
"Xiaoling, I haven't forgotten what I want to do at this time, it's rare to be so kind."
It's obviously a compliment, but the tone is obvious!
I ignored him, I didn't know the arrogant temper of the eldest young master on the first day, let him say okay, I continued to bow my head and do things.
He couldn't help me, I just had to do what I wanted to do before I left!
As I grew farther and farther away from the tree in the woods where two men were tied, I looked back and remembered something else.
I quickened my pace, caught up with the young man walking in front of me, and asked, "If their families don't come here at night, will there be fierce beasts in the mountains and forests in this area to forage for food and hurt people?" ”
Because it is a very secluded forest, the trees grow luxuriantly, and it is inaccessible, and this kind of place is replaced by me alone at night, Emma can't think about it!
"Xiaoling, you still worry so much." A strange look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at me for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice, "I don't think so." At least I didn't see any signs of it nearby. ”
The tsundere boy said that he had more experience in the wild than me, and he said that there were no beasts, so I should believe his statement and not worry too much.
It's the doctor's habit to ask the question just now, and he doesn't want the wounded he has treated to be injured by a wild beast in the dark!
I followed him and walked forward, stepping on the fallen branches of the forest with a soft sound, and I looked ahead. Thinking about the road to be taken later, I am more depressed.
"Even if there are exceptions, they are unlucky!" Suddenly. The boy added in a somewhat playful tone.
I looked up at him in amazement.
"Whoever let them use knives before, they didn't use knives, it's their turn to use them first!"
The young man's face was cold, and his tone was low, and he could be heard a little unhappy between the words.
I looked at him speechlessly. I just said it. This man's mood is fickle!
I turned my gaze back to the road ahead.
Compared to entering this forest, I am now more familiar with it, and I can walk faster.
The young man turned his head, stopped and suddenly looked at me, and he said lazily: "Xiaoling, you originally planned to go back to the official road, didn't you?" “
What I thought in my heart was actually seen by him!
I was stunned. Then he continued: "It is not strange for you to see, that forest is just as strange. To do it all over again, I felt hanging. “
Climbing a rocky slope is a physical job, and walking in the forest is tiring and dangerous.
Adding up to the two, can I not hesitate? I can't make a judgment all at once!
I don't know why the fog never cleared in that forest, but now that I think about it, there must have been something famous.
The problem is that there are so many traps underneath, what should I do if I accidentally step on the air, but fortunately, this person with excellent kung fu next to me followed.
It's good for the tsundere boy to go to the Northland together!
"There's more to my heart than that, you know."
The young man nodded, and then he seemed to remember something, and lowered his voice and asked, "Xiaoling, those people have made a fork in the road with the mountain people." "They're not on the same route."
Hearing this, I immediately pulled his sleeve and asked, "You mean Agui pointed the wrong way?" ”
The young man's gaze met my questioning eyes, he pursed his lips and said darkly, "No." “
"And what do you mean?"
I looked at him in confusion and nervously.
The young man's gaze swept over my face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "We've all gone a fork in the road, and those people are no exception." “
Turns out he meant that!
I breathed a sigh of relief and immediately chimed in, "Indeed! It's all the ghosts of that forest, the fog doesn't disperse, and it's easy to fork the road! ”
"Do you think we have a way to deal with it, or can we just try it by luck?"
I thought about it for a moment and decided that I had to leave this tricky problem to the tsundere boy to solve, and hear what he had to say.
"Let's take one step at a time!"
After a long time, the tsundere boy gave me such an answer, which sounds really perfunctory!
On a cold night in the south of Zealand, the restaurant on the street sent off batch after batch of guests before closing.
Tianfang has been sitting in the restaurant and drinking.
When he walked down the wooden stairs, he saw that there was no one in the lobby facing the street.
It means that Tianfang is the last guest of this restaurant today.
He glanced at the shopkeeper at the account desk, and was now sitting behind the account with a crackling wooden abacus to check today's accounts.
It's a scene he sees all the time, it's everywhere, it's commonplace!
As soon as Tianfang walked out of the door of the restaurant, there was a small stall on the corner of the street.
There are a few stools on the street, as well as a few tables.
The night market in West Lannan has dispersed, and there are only sporadic guests here.
Before the day came, he walked to the stall, sat down and ordered a bowl of wontons, and looked at the strangers passing by on the street.
Even on the busiest street in the city, the night is completely different from the night.
Soon, the stall of the food stall took the initiative to deliver the wontons to the table in front of Tianfang.
He looked at the sky a few more times, and in the eyes of the stall owner, the guests who sat down temporarily looked ordinary, but their temperament was noble and elegant, and they had an invisible attraction.
Tianfang didn't move, and glanced at the street not far away.
Soon, in the shadow of the lamp, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties hurrying here.
Tianfang's eyes moved, the man wiped the sweat on his forehead, ran to Tianfang, saluted him, and said, "Childe!" ”
"You're welcome," Tianfang smiled faintly, motioned for the man to sit across from him, and thoughtfully ordered a bowl of wontons for him as a supper.
"The people who set up the troupe have delayed a little effort, Childe, you've been waiting for a long time!"
The troupe owner said in a respectful tone.
"I came to you today because I wanted to ask you to do something."
Tianfang didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly to him when he came up.
"I don't dare to use the word, if it weren't for the son, we wouldn't have been able to get here so smoothly, if you have any instructions, please just say it."
The troupe owner looked at Tianfang, after they left the palace from the national capital, they went all the way south to here, and they were also taken care of by Tianfang's subordinates on the way.
Tianfang smiled slightly, looked at him and said gently: "It's not difficult, I'll tell you in detail!" ”
I looked at the stone slope in front of me, and it was still the same stone slope!
Look at the forest in the distance, it's still the same forest!
The young man turned his head to see my expression, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Xiaoling, the path you chose by yourself has to be finished with tears." ”
Really! He caught his chance!
I said in my heart that it is not okay to lose a word! At the moment, he glared at him in great depression, looking at him feeling good, knowing the meaning of his cool words at this moment.
The problem is that I can't get past that level in my heart!
If you give up in the face of difficulties, then the hard work ahead will not be in vain!
For better or worse, you have to know the result, right?
Thinking of this, I inevitably felt a little embarrassed in my heart, and I told myself that I would delay for two days at most, and if I still didn't come to a conclusion, I would continue to go back to the official road and go north honestly.
It doesn't matter what fishing village or inn stranger is, it doesn't matter to me, if there is another moth in the future, maybe they will meet in the northland, and that will be in the future!
I made up my mind in my heart, and now I am not so depressed when I am ridiculed by him, besides, he is my companion, and I am not alone in taking risks!
I glanced at him, and said in a sincere and touching tone: "Young Master, you have to take risks with me after working hard, Young Master!" ”
The young man was stunned, probably because the expected top bar scene did not appear, and I actually thanked him.
He had a hard time getting used to it.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and said stiffly: "It's okay, it's easy to say." ”
I know, it's this guy's awkwardness coming up again anyway!
At this moment, I didn't really want to pay attention to him, but I was quite happy in my heart, and I couldn't help but grin quietly!
I immediately turned my head to keep him from seeing my expression.
Repeating the previous steps, I have made great progress this time.
So far, I've at least learned from the boy how to hold that rope firmly on my body! (To be continued.) )
