Chapter 25 Commentary
"Yes, there are other villages nearby, and the closest to our village is the fishing village."
After thinking about it, Ah Gui looked at the visitor and said seriously: "Cross the official road under the mountain and walk all the way to the path ahead, and you will arrive." ”
The visitor looked at Agui fixedly, looked at him carefully for a while, and then asked in a deep voice: "We came from the official road, and we didn't notice the road you said." ”
Ah Gui felt a little strange when he heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then suddenly said, "That's right, because the weather is bad today." "It must have been because of the heavy rain, and most of you didn't see it."
"That part of the path crosses the official road, but you have to go around it from behind the rocks."
Ah Gui's eyes were also looking at the person who came when he spoke, and seeing that the person was listening attentively, he slowed down his tone and said: "If you can't find it, it's because at first glance, there are forests nearby, so it's difficult to notice." ”
"The location of the fishing village is different from that of ordinary villages."
After a pause for a few seconds, Agui continued to say to the visitor: "I'll show you the way, you can wait until dawn to find it." ”
After speaking, Agui looked around, picked up a branch, and made a few gestures on the dirt floor.
He drew a rough map, and the people who came to look at it still understood what he meant, because they were people who often walked outside, and they were more perceptive.
"After the official road, remember to keep going, the road is not obvious, but you have to go through the woods, yes, wait until you see the house."
"Some of the people who go for the first time come back halfway. Said he couldn't find it, but everyone in our village has had it! ”
Ah Gui deliberately emphasized a few words.
"Thank you!" After reading it, the visitor said to Agui: "Listen to the old couple who live on the mountainside. Said that you are the person who hunted the farthest in the village, and sure enough, you know the route. "You live alone at the top of the mountain?"
Ah Gui was not sure what he thought of this sentence for a while, so he shook his head.
"On weekdays, I am often alone, but tonight there are passing guests to spend the night, and the rain is too heavy."
The visitor glanced noncommittally at the brightly lit room of Agui's house, and then said goodbye and left.
Ah Gui muttered to himself as he watched the man turn back to the path down the mountain. Won't you wait for the rain to light up before leaving?
He thought about it for a while, and wondered that the person just now hadn't mentioned to him that he wanted to spend the night.
However, Agui had heard the movements of those people. It is guessed that some of the people who followed him stopped halfway up the mountain, waiting for him to inquire about the route before going back.
The person who came just now must be the leader of that team, Agui intuition.
He stood at the door for a short while, returned to the house with an umbrella, and saw the man in Tsing Yi sitting there in a daze. The whole person seemed to be beaten.
The state of the man in Tsing Yi is compared to when Agui met him in the forest. It's different, although he was lost at that time, his eyes looked obviously much more determined.
Right now, his depressed state made Ah Gui's heart even more doubtful.
In short, what happened on this day is unimaginable and incomprehensible, it has been a long time since I have experienced so many things on the same day.
Ah Gui asked the man in Tsing Yi strangely, "What's the matter with you?" “
It took a long time for the man in Tsing Yi to react, glanced at Ah Gui, and shook his head lightly instead of speaking. The whole person is like a frosted eggplant! "Now that the man is gone, you don't have to worry. I have to hurry tomorrow morning and go to bed early. “
Gui saw him slowly return to the bed, and after a few moments of hesitation, he blew out the oil lamp.
Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves outside, Agui slowly fell into a dream, "Something is wrong, it seems that there is movement again." I frowned, and suddenly said to the silent tsundere boy at the low table.
I heard footsteps from far and near, sure it was from the mountains, or the gang?! "Did those people turn back again?"
The tsundere boy didn't answer me.
I didn't hesitate, I immediately ran to the window to look, I had to see clearly!
From the angle from which I stood, I opened a crack in the window, and I could indeed see the light of the fire moving down the mountain.
It was the leader walking with an umbrella and a torch. "Could it be that they couldn't hear from the Orion on the top of the mountain, so they went back the way they came?"
I whispered, turned my head to look at the young man who was still sitting at the low table, and asked, "Hey, what do you think?" “
He was silent, and after a few seconds, he said, "Xiaoling, maybe they inquired about the route, and they are in a hurry to go down the mountain at this time!" “
Inquire about something, that strange place? "What the hell is Longyuan Lake," I asked the boy, "I hadn't heard of it before, but since they were in a hurry, I could be sure that the man wasn't following me." “
I looked out the window, then looked back at the boy again.
I watched him sit silently at the low table, looking preoccupied, and I turned my mind and walked briskly over it.
I had already heard the gang preparing to descend the mountain, and this time I spoke to him in a much more relaxed tone: "I take back what I said, and it doesn't hurt you to continue walking with me." "Xiaoling, don't say it too early, maybe people are really looking for you."
The young man said in a cold voice, I was startled by his words, and secretly said that he was really a crow's mouth!
I quickly lowered my voice and whispered to him: "Hey, don't say that, you shudder when you hear it, it's better to stay away, I don't want to provoke someone like that." “
The boy looked at me deeply, then bowed his head again and fell silent.
The atmosphere in the room was also a bit stuffy, so I paused for a few seconds, then returned to the window and looked out through the crack.
The team that went and came back descended from the top of the hill and passed over the muddy path.
The men, as they had come, led their horses in a row in front of and behind, and they passed in an orderly manner, all the way in my sight, and then continued down the hill.
throughout the process. They didn't talk to each other, and they were a quiet and orderly team.
By this time, my mind was completely relieved.
Because I know that the man is definitely not following my trail. They leave with real things to do.
Longyuan Lake?! I muttered under my breath.
Walking back from the window, I walked to the low table, sat down again, looked at the tsundere boy and thought for a while, and then said, "Hey, I actually haven't finished talking about some things just now." "About that person, that is, the one who asked for directions, in fact, I still have some things to tell you."
To be on the safe side. I paused deliberately, walked to the door and opened it, and looked out. The rain still has no intention of stopping.
The old couple of this family must have fallen asleep, and the sound of rain at this time can be regarded as a favorable condition to cover up the sound of conversation.
I stood still for a moment, then folded back and sat upright. He whispered to the young man, "Young Master." You've been to the teahouse in Nanhua Town, you should have drunk the tea there, right? “
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then looked at me and said, "Xiaoling has drunk it, you mean that the tea in their teahouse is the same as that of Yuwen's"
It's a pleasure to talk to smart people!
I ordered, and he understood the rest of the meaning, and the so-called listening to the string song and knowing the meaning of elegance is this truth. "That's right, that's what I said!"
The boy lowered his head, not knowing what was going on in his mind at the moment. I looked at him puzzled, not to guess his mind for a moment. Read on. "Young Master, I have also drunk tea from the tea house in Suzhou City, which is claimed to be produced in the Beilangshan Tea Garden of your Yuwen family, but the taste is completely wrong, and it can't be compared with the tea produced by your family."
The young man sitting on the other side of the low table had a slight shift in his eyes, and I knew he was listening. "However, I drank tea with a very similar taste in Nanhua Town."
The corners of my mouth tugged slightly, and I said to him lightly in a nonchalant tone.
"Not only in the teahouse, but also in the inn."
I thought for a moment, looking at the boy without speaking, and he would definitely continue with the next words. "Xiaoling, it's impossible for the Yuwen family's tea garden to flow here."
The tsundere boy sighed and looked up at me, then he turned his gaze in the direction of the side wall, but his tone was very affirmative: "Impossible." "I know it's going to taste worse after all."
I nodded subconsciously, looked at him and said, "But it's close, do you know why?" “
I looked at the boy and asked with a faint smile on my lips.
It's not that I want to deliberately say it in a twist and turn, but I think that in order to relay something to him, in order to deepen his impression and pay enough attention to the situation just now, I still have to say it in a tortuous way and sell it temporarily.
Seeing that he shook his head, I took care of myself and said, "Because the yard where tea is produced is very close to your tea garden, and it is also near Beilang Mountain." ”
The boy finally raised his head and looked me squarely, and when his eyes met, I considered it better to tell him everything I had encountered in the inn.
"When I was in Nanhua Town, I heard the innkeeper say that he had a friend who was obsessed with growing tea and tasting tea in his life."
"The shopkeeper's friend is looking for a suitable place everywhere in the mountains around Nanhua Town," I pursed my lips, frowned at him, and said in a gentle tone, "I didn't find it in Nanhua Town, but I found it near Beilang Mountain." ”
I looked at him thoughtfully for a long time and then suddenly said, "Young Master, you shouldn't have thought that for so many years, there are still people planting tea similar to the Yuwen family under your nose, right?!" ”
I looked at him, shook my head and smiled.
"What's so strange, the problem is that a fake is a fake after all, almost not at all."
The young man sounded very calm, "I have managed the affairs of the Yuwen family, and I don't want to ask more about the rest." ”
My smile gradually retracted, and I looked at the teenager with a focused look in his eyes.
"You're saying you're not interested in this?"
I couldn't have imagined that the tsundere boy would react like this.
My eyes fell on his face, I could see his expression clearly, the hand hanging by my side shook it gently, and subconsciously asked him.
"No, I have something I'm more interested in at the moment, and it's definitely not this one."
After the boy finished speaking, his eyes also focused on my face.
I looked at him for a few seconds, and said helplessly: "Young Master, there is something I have already said, and I still have to say it again." ”
"The people over there in Suzhou are estimated to be chasing after them soon, and it's too late for you to change your mind now." "Are you sure you really want to come with me?"
How stubborn is the temper of this guy in front of him!
"Xiaoling, did you just tell me to go to the Northland with you?" The boy looked at me and said.
I winked at him and said, "Young Master, after all, no one hates free coachmen and guards." ”
The boy choked on my words, couldn't help coughing a few times, and looked at me a little annoyed. "I'm telling the truth, the truth is always unheard, don't you know, young master."
The feelings in my heart are complicated and indescribable, and listening to him persevere, I don't know whether the road ahead is a blessing or a curse for me.
I looked out the window.
After thinking for a moment, I turned my gaze back to a grudge on my lips and said, "I don't have the heart to sleep right now." ”
"I think, it's better to go to the kitchen early to prepare some food, aren't you going to plan to go on the road in the morning?"
I thought about it, and I felt a little embarrassed to be in the same room with him in the future.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was best to find an excuse to leave, especially now that it was the second half of the night, not far from dawn.
With that, I stood up and stopped looking at him, walked to the door, pushed it open, and ran to the kitchen against the mountain wind and raindrops
Looking at the thin figure leaving in the rain, the room suddenly became quiet.
Listening to the sound of the rain beating outside the window, the young man sat in the shadows, looking at the lights fluttering in the wind, and the expression on his face flickered brightly and darkly.
He searched in his memory, but he didn't seem to find the name of the so-called "Longyuan Lake".
Where is it?
The group had gone to the top of the mountain, and their return journey sounded a lot more steady, and their ranks were quiet and orderly, not at all like people who would give up their goals easily.
It is quite possible that they got further news from the hunters who lived on the top of the mountain, so it was not in vain.
Only by thinking about it can it be explained that those people went and returned, but no longer disturbed the actions of the mountain people.
The young man looked out of the window and in the direction of the top of the mountain, and his heart was close to the man of the house tomorrow morning.
If possible, it's also good to inquire more about nearby things, such as the terrain, which he is not yet familiar with.
There was a young man nearby who stretched out his hand and pushed his eyebrows, and in an instant he remembered the one who ran to the kitchen, and it was already close to dawn in the second half of the night, and he said that he was going to get food.
It's one thing to remember to go on the road, and it's another thing to not delay him eating and drinking along the way.
In the eyes of the young man, Xiaoling's guy seems to have a lot of experience in walking outside.
He is young but quite organized, and he always tries to make his life as good as possible on the way. (To be continued.) )
