Chapter 166: The Same Concern
Given the impression I had made, and given the amazing explosiveness of the tsundere boy, I wondered what method he would use to clear the barricades.
Before entering the cave, there is a thorn forest blocking it.
At that time, he directly used the sharp blade he carried with him to break through the obstacles in the dense forest and clear a path.
Therefore, I suspect that although he can't use tools this time, he may have used brute force to deal with the roadblocks
Guessing the possible consequences, I secretly reminded myself that I had to be careful.
So, I estimated the distance and decided to move in the direction of the road.
Without hesitation, I walked back for a short time.
At this moment, Uncle Decrepit followed and turned back!
I guess I heard what I said and figured out the point.
My eyes fell on the uncle's face, and I couldn't help frowning when I saw his expression clearly.
I could see that his face didn't look quite right, and the disappointment was mixed with mixed emotions that I could see at a glance.
I guess the reason why Uncle Decay reacted this way was probably because he was worried that the roadblocks ahead were blocking the way.
In his opinion, there is no way to move forward without a way!
Anyone in a similar situation would be very disappointed.
After all, from the Thorn Forest to the present, he has experienced several twists and turns.
When the water was undercurrent, Uncle Decay was almost washed away by the water, and at that time he was lucky enough to escape and climb ashore.
When he crossed the deep ditch, he walked in front and almost fell again.
It took a little effort for the boy to be willing to rescue him.
Thinking from Uncle Decline's point of view, I can understand his current mood very well.
As I said earlier, it's human nature that no one is willing to accept the current situation.
After paying so much and experiencing danger, I always hope for a smooth result, but unfortunately it often backfires.
Sometimes it's a fact that times are unpredictable!
I should have said a few words of comfort to my uncle, but for now I am preoccupied with whether the boy can clear the roadblocks.
Faced with a difficult stall, I really didn't have much heart to comfort him.
The bad mood can only be figured out by himself.
Besides, I myself am in the same environment right now, and I can't talk about who comforts whom.
I also don't want to stay in this place, or go back.
Both situations are depressing.
I glanced at Uncle Decrepit and saw him retreat and wait not far from me, but closer than I did.
"Uncle," I gestured to him, and said in a gentle tone, "you step back a little further." ”
I looked in his direction and continued, "If there is a big movement ahead, I am afraid that the location of the rocks will affect the current place. ”
Uncle Decrepit thought about it, followed my advice and stepped back a bit.
Then, I turned my attention back to the tsundere boy alone.
I personally estimated that this distance was within a safe range.
According to my estimation of the pile of rocks ahead, including my assumption that the tsundere boy would use brute force to break down the barricades.
Of course, the safety range I am referring to is not facing the danger directly with my uncle, not the tsundere boy himself.
At this moment he stood in front of the barricade, looking at the large pile of stones in front of him that firmly blocked the way to the passage.
The rocks blocking the way started from the top of the passage, and there were no gaps at all.
I can understand his feelings, and I guess I have to have an estimate in my heart before I do it.
Thinking about the unknown situation every time I encounter it, I feel a little worried.
This time was no exception, after all, we are in a special position right now.
We're in a cave passage, which means we don't even have a second place to choose to avoid.
In case of accidents, it is more dangerous.
If the tsundere boy uses brute force to break, he has to think about the position of the force, which is very important and needs to be paid attention to.
If you exert too much force, the rock wall layer above the cave may shake down and block the passage again.
When I think about it from his point of view, I think it's a tricky task.
It's not enough to have a body of brute strength, you have to use your brain and think carefully before doing it.
I pinned my hopes on the experiences of the tsundere boy, because he repeatedly mentioned to me when he was in a hurry, emphasizing the experiences he had endured since childhood.
He also told me that in Sealand, as in the south, he would walk in the wilderness, trekking through mountains and rivers, and even dangerous passages full of rockfalls.
He had experienced all these things, and it made me think back to what he had said, and I had a little more confidence in him.
In addition, I know that although he has a bad temper and a strange personality, he always has a plan to do things, and rarely when he is particularly impulsive.
He has a way to do it, and even if he can't, he will keep himself out of danger, I know that.
I pondered quietly, and the young man who was staring at the falling rocks in front of me looked back at me.
No longer had the impatient look he had when he talked to Uncle Decrepit before, and his eyes looked very gentle at this moment.
He's all staring at me, and I'm going to have to warn him.
I thought about it, met his gaze, raised my voice a little and said, "Young Master, you still have to be careful." ”
"It's fine if the rockfall stops," I paused, and then added, "I'm afraid that the terrain ahead will change because of the earthquake." ”
I thought about it for a while, and I couldn't help but say to the boy: "There is also the stone wall on the upper layer of the cave passage, and I don't know if it is solid."
I didn't finish this sentence, because I knew that the boy must understand my subtext.
Sure enough, he nodded at me.
"Xiaoling, I know." He replied.
The boy turned his head, still standing still.
After waiting for about a few minutes, Uncle Fu next to me coughed, and I could feel the uneasiness in his heart.
At this moment, Uncle Decay, who had been staying by my side and didn't say anything, suddenly shouted to the front: "Young Master, the stone wall here is not necessarily reliable, and you can't use too much force." ”
Not only me, but even the young man standing in front of the stone pile was slightly stunned, turned his head, and stared at the uncle with both pairs of eyes.
Being looked directly at by us, his expression was momentarily embarrassed, but it was not like the state when he shouted before, and deliberately avoided our gaze.
I watched him look down and clutch the corner of his coat, and knew he had the same concerns as me.
In a continuous hurry, encountering various situations, he and I have seen the strength of a tsundere boy.
Uncle Decay should know that if the boy makes a big effort, the cave passage may usher in a wave of turmoil similar to a small-scale earthquake.
Early warning can be regarded as a reminder to teenagers.
I believe that this moment of reminder is absolutely well-intentioned, because Uncle Decay himself is in the same position as me.
The young man's eyes swept over me, and they looked at each other to understand the meaning.
After a while, he didn't say much, and turned his head to approach the pile of stones again.
At this time, I finally saw the figure of the young man in the distance move, and I knew that he was finally going to start doing it after thinking about it!
I held my breath and my whole body became tense.
The current situation seemed to me as if there was a monster hiding behind a pile of rocks
The mountain road connecting the official road went all the way to the post station, and the guards stopped at the shop next to the post station to eat and drink some wine, and at this time they arrived at the position of the post station where Tianfang was located, and the night was thick outside the window.
The fog that spreads through the mountains looks shadowy and tends to get worse.
When you look out of the window, the area that you could see before has become smaller.
Only the area closest to the post station can clearly see the vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
However, the number is far from being compared with the daytime, and in the second half of the night, there will be fewer customers passing by.
The canopy closed the window slightly, leaving a gap.
He turned his head and glanced at the guards who had just walked into the house, paused and said in a deep voice: "If you leave tomorrow morning, you can rest first!" ”
Tianfang turned his head and looked through the gap at the courtyard of the post station outside, as well as the place on the nearby official road, he stared for a moment, but found nothing unusual.
Along the way, I don't seem to meet anyone I shouldn't meet!
However, Tianfang has not been to the store next door to the post station, and I don't know the situation.
After thinking about it, he asked the guard, "When you were eating just now, did you meet unusual people and things in the store?" ”
It's a routine inquiry, the homework of the guards.
After the guards looked at each other, one of them spoke, "Lord, except for a caravan in the middle, we didn't notice anything wrong. ”
Tianfang looked back at the window, then met the guards, smelled a slight smell of alcohol, and couldn't help but look at the two injured and said, "You"
"Lord, we didn't drink a drop of wine, they all drank it."
The injured guard reacted quickly and immediately opened his mouth to make a statement, leaving himself alone.
Tianfang nodded when he heard this: "Wait until the poison in the body is removed, and then you can drink."
"Rest assured, Lord, we all know," they said in unison, "we dare not joke with our lives." ”
Tianfang looked at them thoughtfully, and then said in a calm tone: "I didn't intend to stay at this station, but now that you are injured, it is necessary to postpone the trip." ”
As soon as Tianfang said this, several guards nodded at the same time, and a look of gratitude flashed in their eyes.
Then, Tianfang sighed and said: "Although it is an accident to meet the dark guard in the deep valley, there may be variables along the way, you must have a bottom in your heart." ”
At this point, it's the most appropriate time to introduce the actions that the guards are discussing while eating in the store.
Hearing this, one of the guards, who had a calm personality and was hurrying with Tianfang, thought about it and stood up under the gaze of his companions.
Tianfang looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Do you have something to say?" ”
"Lord, we have discussed it and thought it would be best to send a message to the brothers sent by the Northland."
Tianfang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at him.
The guard's gaze swept over the injured companion, and he said in a sincere tone with the eyes of the heavens: "Lord, the matter of the dark guard is indeed an accident, they didn't expect it to appear when they tracked it down, but on the Northland side, because our final destination is the same place, do you think we need to be reminded?" ”
The guard paused slightly, but said it all.
In fact, these words had already been thought of in his heart, and he was also thinking about it on the way over, and the time was right at this time, so he would naturally explain it to the sky immediately.
It was a slight departure from what was expected, and earlier the guards thought that they should be busy writing letters when they entered the post station at that time, not as leisurely as they are now.
If you are empty, you can still look out of the window, looking at the scenery between the official road and the mountains, what is the Lord thinking in his heart?
"Lord, our people have always been thoughtful," the speaker's tone changed, "but in terms of kung fu, it is indeed not as good as the other party's secret guard." ”
The sentence was a little bitter, and the guard paused and glanced at the sky.
He lowered his head and muttered for a moment before adding, "So I had to plan more thoroughly. ”
"Lord," he said, looking up at the sky, "it's best if we have a second-hand preparation, in case the other party sends someone to interfere again, how to deal with it!" ”
The secret guard came forward to obstruct this kind of thing, and if there is a first time, there must be no second time? It's really hard to say.
The other party's kung fu is so good, if there is another person who hurts Haiguo, everyone will not look good.
Not only that, not to mention that the guards of the Sea Kingdom were injured, the key is that the mission assigned by the sky will be interrupted in case it is interrupted, which is unpleasant!
After the guard finished speaking, he looked at Tianfang with a hint of anticipation, waiting for the instructions of his master
The smoke and dust that spread through the cave passage made me cough incessantly, and for a moment I felt like I couldn't breathe, because the place was too cramped after all.
As I mentioned earlier, this section of the passage is already wider than the one we first walked on the waterfront.
But when the tsundere boy really used brute force to break through the barricades, this small passage was not enough.
The dust was so thick that my vision was obscured, and I knelt on the ground and waited for myself to breathe, and waited for the smoke to clear up a little before I could see what was ahead.
After a few moments, I looked up, wiped the dust off my face, and patted my body by the way.
I saw a figure not far away move, naturally it was Uncle Decrepit who had suffered the same thing as me.
He was also very embarrassed when he looked at the situation, in short, it can be summed up in four words - gray face!
"Uncle, are you alright?" I shouted casually, and immediately looked at the tsundere boy.
I'm so embarrassed with Uncle Decrepit, and the boy is the closest person to the goal!
He cleared the stone barricades and made such a big formation, and I was worried that the cave passage would be collapsed by him, but fortunately it didn't.
Looking back on the sound, I'm still a little scared.
"Hey, young master, how are you?"
The boy had already stood up, and now stood with his back to me, his body motionless, as if he was looking at something.
I turned my mind around, and without thinking much about it, I hurriedly ran in his direction.
The dust concentration point was naturally near the barricade, and I ran as fast as I could! (To be continued.) )
