Chapter 2 What Do You Want?
At this moment, there are no vehicles passing on the mountain road.
At a glance, there are not even mountain people on the side of the road, let alone the townspeople who come out of Nanhua Town!
Facing the sight of the people in the carriage, I was stunned as I stood near the carriage.
The man sitting in the car had the same eyes fixed on me.
In a few seconds, I came to my senses and slowly removed the cumbersome hood from my head.
Then, I threw the hat I was holding directly to the side of the road.
The person who looked at me in the carriage saw my true face under the hat after I took off my hat, and he was stunned for a moment.
Then, with a frown, he immediately got up and got out of the car.
I stood there in silence as he jumped out of the carriage, took the hat I had thrown on the side of the road in his hand, and patted the dust on his head with a gentle motion.
I kept my emotions in check and didn't turn away right away.
The man took the hat, but instead of giving it back to me, he glanced in the direction of the carriage and threw it into the carriage.
The person in front of me is not a stranger, I met several times last night, and I took a closer look at his appearance.
Since they had already met, my disguise seemed very redundant in front of him right now.
What I didn't expect was to run into him on my way out of town!
If it were someone else, I might have to ask why, but this person is a weirdo who came out of the way when I was talking to the shopkeeper.
Several times to show off the sense of existence.
Therefore, I have every reason to believe. The scenes I saw this morning were not accidental, they were all planned and premeditated by the people in front of me.
"You drove the people of the caravan away?"
After thinking about it, his gaze rolled around his face. I pursed my lips and asked him the first question.
I can't say why, but I just think it all has something to do with him!
From a distance, I observed his movements, and by the way, I re-examined him, from head to toe.
I don't know what he stayed at the inn for, but it's probably something to do with me. I know.
There's a good chance he did what happened southeast of town this morning.
If it had been a coincidence that we had met last night, he was now on the mountain road, and had such a carriage waiting for me. How can this be explained?
No matter what, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense.
Looking up, he was wearing a discreet dark robe, similar to the one I wore when I saw him in the inn.
Right now, this outfit. It was the same thing he wore this morning when I saw him say goodbye to the young man at the inn window.
The overall style is close to last night's outfit. That's why you can recognize it at a glance and won't be mistaken for it.
So saying, he came out of the inn and went to the mountain road southeast of Nanhua Town, and waited in the carriage until now.
I
The next second, he approached me and stopped in front of me. The distance between the two people is closer, less than half a person.
I looked up at him. When I saw his face clearly, it looked familiar in the morning light.
His face looked like he had used a similar type of disguise to me.
For a moment, I was a little curious, if I broke it with him later, I don't know if I would get an answer.
The method he used piqued my curiosity, just as I had been interested in the disguise medicine used on Wu Yu's face in the mountain temple when I met her.
After a moment of silence, I took a deep breath and finally asked him again, "Young Master, what do you want?" ”
By this time, staring into his eyes, I couldn't remember who he was, that was because I was dull!
The other party has already done what he wants to do, what is his purpose, spread it out!
He stood up straight, where was the little rickety I saw last night, how tall and tall in the morning breeze!
I cursed in my heart, knowing that I might not be able to say goodbye at this time.
Think about his performance last night, his body was deliberately pretended to be like that, and even his voice was deliberately lowered to speak to me in a dull voice.
He doesn't want me to recognize him, does he? Right now, what is he thinking?
The person in front of me turned around and glanced at the empty mountain road, and the next moment, said to me in a low voice: "Go to the Northland!" ”
I looked at him in disbelief, I couldn't believe my ears, he said to go to the Northland?!
After a while, I squeezed my fist and said, "Okay! Then I won't delay you, young master, I still have something to do, and I have to leave now. “
I tightened my baggage and walked straight ahead.
Even if he drove away all the horse-drawn carriages parked on the mountain roads in this area of Nanhua Town, it didn't mean that I would have to take his ride.
It's his business to go to the Northland, and he has a relationship with me!
I still have money in my pocket, which means that if there is a carriage passing on the mountain road for the rest of the trip, it doesn't matter if it's a caravan or a mountain man's own.
I want to take a ride, I already know the market, what is the difficulty of the money within my affordability?
Can he drive away the carriages in Nanhua Town, and can he also drive away the cars on the entire road to the Northland with one hand?
The mountain road is far away, no one can do it, even the empress can't stop it, let alone him!
I didn't take two steps, my arm was immediately grabbed, and he looked at me unhappily and said, "It's up to you, I still want to go to the Northland alone!" ”
The words he said were so infuriating that I was by him in a second!
I looked at him with annoyance, and I hadn't even bothered with him about taking all the caravans I was going to take in advance!
At first, I didn't bother with him because I felt a little sorry for him about leaving Suzhou.
But that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants.
"Let go!" I said with a straight face, "What the hell are you going to do!" ”
"I'm unlucky about the caravan," I said in an impatient tone, "but there are other cars ahead, so it doesn't matter." ”
"Get in the car!" He whispered, letting go of me at the same time. A look of "chagrin" flashed in his eyes, and he spoke to me with a slight slowdown.
"Get in the car."
I didn't plan to get on the carriage that stopped me on my way, so I couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Don't you still have a mansion to run in Suzhou?" "Is your Yuwen family too idle to let you go to the Northland?"
"It's not like the Northland is about to go to war. What are you running to do? ”
I looked at him strangely, could it be that this man's head had been hit since it was hijacked on the river?
I didn't hear him answer a few questions.
I took two tentative steps forward, only to reach out again and grab my arm.
I broke free, stood there and looked at him, and said as calmly as possible: "Young Master, I remember when I was in Suzhou. I've made it very clear. "In the Qingyin Pavilion, a few of the people in your family know what I said."
Yuanbao, which of the people below Ah Lai doesn't know that I want to go to the Northland? "With the letter I left behind. Explain it more clearly. “
I frowned at him and asked, "Young Master, I don't know what you're wringing up, but I have the right not to cooperate with your willfulness!" “
"Going to the Northland has always been my plan." "Everyone has something to do, something they want to do." I'm in the right way. "It's useless to mess around, you to the end"
He turned his face away and interrupted the subject, "I'll send you to the Northlands, and when I get there, I'll go." “
I looked at him in amazement, and I didn't know what to say.
"Xiaoling, you told me that you planned to find your senior brother to go with you in Suzhou City. But you're alone now. ”
The boy stared at me, his eyes looking at me for a moment, and he said a word. "Why?" I've finally found my train of thought. Looking at him and frowning, "It's my business that I go to the Northland, why do you want to go with you?" “
What's wrong with a person? I don't have to follow my brother! "I have something to do, I'll give you a ride," the young man lowered his head and thought about it, "Xiaoling, since you can even take the car of a strange caravan, can't you take the car I drive?" ”
"It's different."
It's two completely different things, and they can't be confused together, and his thoughts are strange. "Regarding the caravan, I inquired with them about the price yesterday, or entrusted someone else to help me and inquire for me."
The young man's eyes as he looked at me deepened, and the expression on his face fluctuated a little in an instant. "By the way, you know that person too," I turned my head to look in the direction I was coming from, glancing at him out of the corner of my eye, then turned my head sideways and said in a calm tone, "You've seen it a few times at the inn." "That's what the guy at the inn asked for me."
After thinking about it, he continued: "He has been in Nanhua Town for a long time, and he is very reliable and enthusiastic. ”
Having said that, I sensed a hint of murder in the eyes of the person opposite!
The next second, I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes, feeling that I was in a trance just now!
"I asked him about the ride to the Northlands, and he asked me about the price, and I asked the leader of the caravan if it was a caravan that stopped here yesterday."
The young man's gaze kept on my face, and his expression changed several times, making it impossible to guess his inner thoughts at the moment, and it was difficult to see the clues from his disguised face.
I paused, then shifted my mind and looked away slightly, "According to the price he quoted, I have enough money to go to the Northlands." ”
"I had a plan in mind, but out of nowhere," I paused again, pulled out my bag of money, looked at it, weighed it in my hand and clenched it a few times.
It's good to have money, but the money bag is my confidence at the moment!
I looked at him and continued, "How can you be the same as the caravan? ”
"What's different," he asked, frowning, his eyes deep into me.
"You're not a caravan person," I thought about it, and said in a fluent tone, "The caravan people are all traders, I negotiated the price with them, paid the money, it's a very simple process, or the young man asked for me"
The person in front of him lost patience and suddenly made a move!!
I suddenly felt a light in my hand, and the small bag of money was already in his hand. "Now, it's the same!" The boy said coldly.
He turned around and got into the carriage as fast as he could.
The car rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust on the mountain road, and I stood stunned and looked at the shadow of the carriage, asking myself if there were still not enough sections after all!
"Hey, wait, give me back the money!"
The next moment, I could only chase after it
The carriage drove slowly along the mountain road.
The tsundere boy drove the car smoothly, which shows that his skills are good.
Because whether I was walking on the road just now, or looking out of the window now, the road conditions can only be described as average.
His driving skills are passable, I secretly said in my heart.
Taking advantage of the moment when the carriage turned on a slightly smooth road, I casually asked, "How did you convince the caravans that had stopped on the road outside the town to leave early?" ”
I'm still a little curious, how did he do it?
You must know what I saw yesterday, the total number of caravans staying outside Nanhua Town should be no less than five.
The boy didn't answer me and continued to drive in silence.
I paused, and my eyes swept out of the window, Wu Yu's father, the notebook he wrote by his own hand, recorded the special herbs in the mountains around Nanhua Town.
Judging from what I saw in that codex, Wu Yu's father had already traveled all over the mountains near Nanhua Town, and there was a tendency to go northeast.
I don't know why Dr. Wu is in a hurry to go south, but after all, the codex left a lot of blanks.
If he wants to write again, I'm afraid he will have to wait until the dust settles on the war in the Northland.
Although the speed of the carriage was slow, it also left Nanhua Town behind in a blink of an eye.
Looking back, if I had used it, it would have taken me about half a day to get to where I am now.
The speed of the carriage was still very fast.
A thought flashed through my mind, and I was in a trance, when I suddenly saw a shadow on the rocks beside the road.
I couldn't see clearly, so I quickly leaned down by the window, pulled the curtain that was in the way completely, and looked back.
That's right! Yes, indeed!
"Stop!" I quickly shouted, and the carriage stopped!
The boy turned to me and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'm going to go down, as if I saw that I was going down anyway."
I didn't want to explain too much to him, because I still needed to confirm it, so I said to him angrily.
"There's a herb in the place I'm passing by, I'm going to have to see it."
The next moment, without waiting for him to answer, I jumped out of the carriage and ran backwards as soon as my feet hit the ground.
Within my field of vision, I saw that beside the road I had passed before, there was a medicinal herb that I had seen growing on the side of a mountain rock, which I had seen in the codex left by Wu Yu's father.
I know that this one is a rare wound medicine, and of course I'm happy!
It's shallow on paper, but now I'm seeing fresh herbs!
I followed the mountain path beside the road and carefully climbed the rock.
I crouched down and looked at the herb growing next to the stone, and looked at it carefully, matching the pattern on the paper that I had seen in my memory.
Not only that, but I also opened my baggage and took out the codex to check it again. (To be continued.) )
