I frowned and looked at the young man and said suspiciously, "Does one person have so much energy to make so many traps in the whole forest?" ”

When I think about it, I think it's incredible.

If it was really the man who dug it himself, the aunt didn't even mention it when she heard us talk about the difficult experience of walking in the forest!

Obviously unreasonable.

At least I see that the eldest lady's expression is very natural, and it is not at all a way to hide the inside story and need to cover it up.

The young man looked at me expressionlessly and said, "Xiaoling, just ask directly at the dinner table later, why speculate." ”

"That's right."

I admit that he has a point, rather than guessing what is going on, it's easier to ask people directly!

When I was deep in the mountains, I used to walk through the dense forest with my boy.

That time, the trap in the forest was indeed dug by nearby mountain people.

One thing they were careful to do was that at least they had placed the traps around the routes that strangers would take.

Because the mountain people were concerned about the follow-up problems at the beginning of the setting, there may be strangers who are not familiar with the bad environment and may break into it by mistake!

In my opinion, it is necessary to avoid the most frequented roads in the forest!

It's not good in case you hurt an innocent stranger.

People just passed by by by chance on the road, and they recruited someone to provoke someone!

This time, no matter how I think about the trap, I feel a little weird, so as long as I think of that forest, I feel that my heart is full of questions.

You have to ask about the fishing village, and you have to ask the male owner of the house about the distribution of traps in the misty forest

I thought to myself. Because of the fog, it's easy to ignore the path under your feet when you enter the forest.

The existence of those traps is estimated to trap many strangers.

The boy and I were able to pass safely, relying on his ability.

I don't see things from the same perspective as him.

I wonder if he found some suspicious details while walking through the forest?

"Great young master. Did you notice any pattern in the distribution of those traps as you walked through the woods? ”

I pondered for a moment before I raised my head and asked the tsundere boy.

Before we talk, I might as well ask for clarification.

Hearing this, the young man was slightly stunned, and his expression instantly became a little subtle: "Xiaoling, not at the moment." “

"When I passed through the woods, I was focused on avoiding the traps. You know. “

Yes, of course I do.

I know I've almost fallen off a tree a few times!

Of course, there are also a few landing mistakes. Luckily, he did it, otherwise I would probably have stayed in the trap with him and looked up and counted the stars!

When the young man answered, he looked at me intently and said, "Xiaoling, you can ask now." In retrospect. It is true that there is no pattern in the distribution of locations. ”

"Xiaoling, if there are any missing details" The young man looked at me and shook his head, "Anyway, I haven't noticed it for the time being." “

Traps are always man-made and cannot be naturally distributed.

Because since the surface of the potholes is covered, the cover of the dead branches used for disguise means to create the illusion that the road is normal.

That forest does have a feeling of indescribability.

It can be summed up in one sentence, which is very weird!

However, after some conversation. For now, I can't bother to discuss it carefully with the tsundere boy for the time being.

Because there are more important things for me to do.

After contemplation, the aroma of the kitchen is stronger. Don't look at the remoteness here, the ingredients are passable.

Rice, vegetables, and dried fish that I coveted took turns on the table.

Add color and variety to tonight's table!

After an adventure in the forest, I smelled the familiar smell of fireworks now, and I couldn't have been more kind!

From time to time, the boy by the stove poked his head out to look at me, and only then did he look at it with a feeling of his age.

When I observed his behavior, it was not at all like the way he deliberately pretended to be deep when he faced outsiders and followed him in the east mansion of Suzhou City.

"Don't worry, in short, the taste won't be bad!"

I looked at him amusedly, and I thought to myself that he was making fun of me when he was standing under the eaves before!

In fact, he is also a fellow practitioner, what is the difference?

When the boy heard this, he immediately turned his head and stopped looking at my movements

It was too cold, so after deliberation, I simply moved the large table against the wall in the kitchen to the center of the room.

The kitchen is very warm, and there is a stove next to it, and a fire is blazing!

At dinner time, the four of them sat around the table and ate directly.

It's a lot of delicious food.

One of the benefits is that you can bring the dish directly to the table without worrying about being blown away by the wind.

At the dinner table, the four of them sat on each side, and before moving the chopsticks, the uncle and aunt were looking at me, and I also let the eyes of the old couple look carefully, because it was normal for them to have questions.

I don't know why they paid more attention to me than Tsundere Teen.

Looking at it, I was worried for a while, did I show a flaw that caused them to doubt my identity?

Thinking about it like this, I felt that the two lines of sight cast on me made me a little awkward, and the tsundere boy sitting on one side suddenly reached out and patted me on the shoulder.

He was comforting me, and he must have seen my uneasiness and calmed me down.

I thought about it in my heart, even if the uncle and aunt really saw that I was a woman dressed as a man, it would actually be fine.

In these years, there is a shortage of soldiers, girls are walking outside, what's so strange about changing their dress!

I certainly won't be the first, and I won't be the last.

I feel calm when I think about this, and let them continue to look at it!

The couple looked at it enough, and this time the focus shifted to the tsundere boy sitting on the side, they were looking at him with the same eyes, and they just changed objects.

I sensed their actions, and my mind should have been my delusion. Don't you see them look at the tsundere boy with the same eyes?

At the end of the day, it's probably because there are so few strangers passing through here, and what I've told Tsundere Boy about it. We've come all the way south of Zealand.

The old couple felt very curious, and it was reasonable.

It didn't take long for the eldest lady to speak first, and sure enough, she asked about some customs in the south of Sealand.

Where would I understand this, I would definitely not be able to answer, I was embarrassed what to say, and immediately looked at the boy for help.

He was calm. answered the eldest lady's questions one by one, and her tone was very gentle, and she looked very patient.

My gaze fell on the face of the tsundere boy. I was amazed that he was constantly changing along the way.

If you want to say that last night in the mountain village, in another family, he was still a little unable to let go and a little restrained, so that I said his words, but now his performance is obviously better!

I sighed in my heart, lowered my head and took a sip of the rice wine in the bowl.

This is the eldest lady's own wine. Light and sweet. Comforts and warms the stomach.

I have also drunk it in Nanhua Town, and the taste of rice wine is similar

I brought up the food cooked in the kitchen, and as expected, I was complimented on it.

I think the difference between places is not far away, and the tastes of the people here are similar to the family in the village where I stayed last night.

The eldest lady added some rice wine for me, and now my eyes swept over the young man, and his face was almost darker than the bottom of the pot.

In between conversations, I glanced at the tsundere boy, meaning that it was rare today. So take a few sips.

If you stay in a mountain people's house, you have to follow the local customs. It was only brought out by people who entertained guests.

I don't know if it was the experience in the mountains that left a shadow on him last time, but it didn't take long for the boy to make a gesture that I couldn't drink anymore.

I counted in my heart, and the total amount of wine I drank was less than a quarter of a bowl, and I personally felt that this amount should not be to the point of getting drunk.

The young man seemed to see my thoughts, and said directly to me: "If you drink more, you will get drunk, and if you are drunk, no one will carry you on the road." ”

"It's like a brother, it's true, you can't be greedy when you go out, but you sleep at your mother's house tonight, don't worry, get up tomorrow morning, you'll wake up early."

The eldest lady comforted the young man happily

The young man lowered his head and thought about it, and looked at the eldest lady with a trace of hesitation in his eyes: "You don't know, it's okay for ordinary people to drink a little wine, but my younger brother can't control him every time he drinks too much." ”

The young man frowned and said, "So when I go out, I must watch him and not let him drink more." "You say this as if I would be drunk and mad," I said, looking at him and lowering my voice, "I remember never!" “

"Don't slander me."

"Are you sure?" The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked at me coldly.

was stared at by him, and there was an indescribable majesty at that moment.

About the guards of the Chengdong Mansion in Suzhou, they usually do things, and they look similar when they see him talking.

Under his oppressive gaze, I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

I have a feeling of weakness, should there be some inside story that I don't know at all about the last experience in the mountains?

In that case, I really couldn't drink anymore, so I obediently pushed the bowl to the side of the table.

The boy nodded, his face softened

"When we came, we were dizzy in the woods, and the fog in the woods was too big."

I put down my chopsticks, looked at the man of the house, the uncle, and gestured with him a few times as I spoke.

Especially when it comes to the traps in the woods, my face turns pale, and I feel like I'm in a state of horror when I think about it.

I sighed and stared out the window at the mountain stream not far away, and I didn't make a sound for a long time.

To be honest, I still feel a little nervous, remembering my experience in the woods.

When we got out of the woods, I talked to the boys.

Just now in the kitchen, he listened to me and told me disapprovingly that even if he fell into it, the trap would not trap him.

It's not the first time I've heard him say this, and I felt the gap in a second.

I can't help but think that if I hadn't met the tsundere boy in Nanhua Town, or he hadn't thought about chasing after reading the letter.

In that case, going to the Northland would be my own business, and I would have to deal with any dangers I encountered on the way.

It's okay to walk on the official road normally and take a ride, but what if you encounter special circumstances?

Just like the Misty Forest I encountered before, I couldn't get out of it with my ability.

If the boy wasn't around, I felt very depressed thinking about it.

"In the past, my brother and I used to travel deep in the mountains, and we knew that the mountain people would dig traps in the woods."

After thinking for a moment, I looked at the eldest lady and said, "However, where my brother and I walked, traps were generally not set on the road where pedestrians outside might pass. “

"We saw that the traps were set up in some inconspicuous corners."

I coughed and said bluntly, "It's the first time we've seen a situation like the one over there in the Misty Forest, and I think it's too scary. ”

The uncle and aunt glanced at each other, and after a short silence, the uncle spoke first: "That forest, to tell you the truth, usually even we rarely go over." “

The young man and I were surprised, I looked at the uncle and frowned and asked, "You said that there are few people over there, what is going on?" ”

"Didn't you say it, little brother, the fog in the forest is too big, and there are traps everywhere, let's go out, we would rather take a long detour than go over there."

"You should have been living here for a long time, right?" A look of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I asked curiously.

Then I quietly looked away at him, my eyes swept over the eldest lady sitting next to me, and I fixed my gaze and asked, "I guess it's been about a few decades, right?" “

"That's right," he said affirmatively, "the forest has always been like this, with fog and many traps, but we don't know what is going on. ”

"At first, it looked like someone did it, but I don't know who did it!"

"As you say, the traps in the woods have been around for a long time."

I muttered, lowered my head and thought about it, and asked the silent tsundere boy on the side, "Big brother, do you think it sounds really weird?" ”

The young man also nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he asked the uncle opposite: "Since you have lived here for a long time, how many times have you seen strangers who usually pass by in this area?" ”

"It seems like a few more times lately."

Hearing this, the young man sitting next to me looked at him thoughtfully.

The uncle said slowly: "When I went out today, I saw a group of strangers in the nearby mountains. ”

I listened to him with wide eyes, and immediately made eye contact with the boy.

"What kind of people do you see?" I asked in a low voice.

He probably described it to me, saying that the group of people were in a hurry, and when he saw him, he asked him if he knew if there was a place called "Longyuan Lake" nearby.

"How did you answer?" I asked.

"How else can I answer that!" The uncle paused and said, "I haven't heard of this place either, but the gang asked me if I knew of a nearby place called Yuzhuang" (to be continued.) )
