I was afraid that the heavy rain would come suddenly, so I tried my best while running in the mountains.

So much so that when I ran into the ruined temple, I was a little out of breath, so tired that I couldn't speak.

"Xiaoling, take shelter here."

The boy stood under the eaves of the doorway and glanced inside the ruined temple.

I couldn't speak, so I had to squint at the tsundere boy as I was busy calming my breath, and nodded at him in reply.

"I'll go in first," he whispered to me after retracting his gaze, "don't go in yet, wait here." ”

With that being said, I saw that he had already walked in, and when I had rested at the door for a while, I followed him in.

I was in a hurry when I came here just now.

I saw a lot of mountain scenery along the way, and I didn't particularly notice the terrain around the ruined temple, just glanced into the distance as I ran in.

Because the backyard looked out of the mountain and the mountain was broken, a thought flashed through my mind, I don't know if there is a back door to go through.

The outer perimeter wall has been eroded by wind and rain, and even the gate is dilapidated.

When I arrived with the boy, I saw that he pushed the door open and came in with little effort.

At this time, I arrived at the inside of the mountain temple, the place was not big, and I quickly saw everything in the main hall clearly.

The two of them crossed the threshold and walked to the inside of the mountain temple, and saw that every place was ruined, just like the intuitive impression given to me from the outside.

The shrine was covered in cobwebs, the desk was covered with a layer of dust, and the dust on the ground was even thicker, and it was impossible to see what the brick floor had been.

I made a few strokes on the ground with my foot. I can barely see a point, and it is also an old brick.

I looked at everything and felt a sense of déjà vu.

It doesn't feel like much of a difference. Is it because I've seen it more than once?

Every time I go to a deserted place, I see this kind of broken temple is much the same.

From the structure to the architectural style, the only difference is mostly due to the location of different geographical boundaries, with a little bit of local characteristics.

Thinking back to the one I saw on the road in Nanhua Town, it was relatively better!

My eyes swept around the room, and I couldn't see any new tricks, so naturally I met the boy again.

I paused. asked him in a low voice: "Young Master, did you see it on the way to Nanhua Town?" “

If he had stayed in the place between Nanhua Town and Suzhou, he would have understood half of what I said.

It was rainy in the mountains in those days. The boy came to the town with his escort, and it was impossible to arrive at the road in one go!

"I stayed, not to track you!"

The boy was quite dissatisfied when he heard me bring up this topic. He looked at me with a depressed expression and said, "Xiaoling." You're too embarrassed to mention it to you! ”

I avoided his gaze, lowered my eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked him, "Why?" “

Is there any reason I'm embarrassed to mention it?!

Isn't it a broken temple in my heart, there is a problem? "Xiaoling, you ran away from Suzhou without saying a word," the young man said angrily, "I thought something was wrong with you at that time!" “

The young man only had to think of the scene of the people in the Qingyin Pavilion going to the empty building, and the scene where he stayed alone all night. I feel all kinds of unhappiness in my heart.

He didn't even mention it, and he didn't understand that guy could still take the initiative to talk about it without care. The key is to ask an innocent rhetorical question!

The young man looked at the people around him with extremely displeasure!

Turns out he said this.

Of course, I noticed the change in his demeanor, but I never expected that this guy would have to wait until this point to start settling accounts with me.

On the one hand, he was patient, and on the other hand, I really didn't expect it, and after thinking about it, I looked at him in surprise, and my eyes stopped on his face to observe his expression.

"Young Master, didn't I leave a letter for you when I left the Chengdong Mansion?"

I sighed and looked away.

"Xiaoling, can it be the same, you can't say it yourself, you have to leave in the middle of the night, I almost thought"

The boy frowned at me, paused for a few seconds, shook his head and didn't continue, his eyes still mixed with a hint of helplessness.

"Young Master, are you sure we're talking about this now?"

I reminded him seriously: "Young Master, I think we should go and take a look at the back first, at least turn the entire ruined temple again!" ”

He and I both came to this place, and we had to look at the terrain nearby, because we weren't familiar with it!

If it rains heavily for half an hour or another, then it's better to wait, at most.

Problem: I don't know the law of God with him!

How long does it take to rain once it starts?

What if our luck is better this time?

If it rains all day, what should I do with him?

There are several questions in front of me, and I don't have answers.

On the other hand, the tsundere boy, I believe he has no clue, so he left Suzhou Shenma, he left, and he is here, what does he care!

Look ahead!

All I struggled with was what we were going to do next, what route we were going to take.

Who has the time to dwell on what has already happened.

Unless you get caught like this next time, that's another story!

In order to make him relieved, I simply added to him: "I'm sorry, young master, next time I want to leave, I must make it clear to you, do you think it's okay?" ”

The boy didn't speak, but glared at me fiercely!

I lowered my head and continued to calculate, for now it seemed that the worst plan was to give up the idea of looking for a fishing farm.

Although I am relatively unwilling, there are many things to consider, and I can't decide on one impulse.

Because I always have to worry about the speed of the king's journey.

Thinking of this, my eyes lit up, and I turned my head to look at the tsundere boy and asked, "Young Master, can I please do one thing." ”

The boy had not yet withdrawn from his depressed mood, and subconsciously took a small step back after hearing it. He looked at me as if he was trying to figure out what was going on in my mind.

I smiled dryly, looked at him and said, "Young Master, don't worry." It's not a big deal. ”

The young man frowned again and said, "Xiaoling, if you have any ghost ideas, just say it quickly, you will wait to hear it!" ”

"It's just that after I get to the next stop," I pursed my lips and looked at him with a smile, "Young Master, can you find a way to help me inquire about Master Wang's movements." ”

I mentioned it to the tsundere boy bluntly, and there is nothing to detour around, I think maybe he is also inquiring about the news of Wang Shi?

Count me as borrowing the east wind!

We're going to the Northland. It is the Northland, which is about to resume the war, and all activities will be inseparable from this war.

From this point of view, whether it is a business trip between two places. Anyone like me who is going to go must take this into account.

The young man glanced at me and said, "You don't need to say this, you have to inquire, and I will tell you when there is news." ”

"Thank you. Don't hide it. For better or for worse! ”

I told him earnestly.

"Xiaoling," the young man raised his eyebrows and looked at me, staring at me and said, "Why do you care so much about Master Wang's movements, what is the matter?" ”

The young man asked in a stiff tone after a while: "Are you involved with Master Wang?" ”

"Who doesn't care," I said, looking at him, avoiding his topic, and in an affirmative tone. "Young Master, even you said it. Even if it's you, you have to inquire. “

"Shall we go over and confront the people who are participating in the battle on the main battlefield?"

"If there's any danger, we'll get out of the way," I said, looking sideways at the temple gate, and continued, "It's always right to keep an eye out for the movement of the army. ”

"You have news, please let me know too, thank you!"

I thought about it for a moment and said calmly to the boy.

This time, he nodded: "Xiaoling, what you say is reasonable." ”

The boy walked away alone, and I stayed in the temple to carefully inspect the situation in the temple, and there were almost no traces left by passers-by.

The only pile of ash I found in the corner looked like it had been left for a long time.

This area is inaccessible, and it is true that few people pass by, otherwise it would not be difficult to meet a stranger after walking for most of the day.

Looking closely, the corners of the temple are covered with spider dust, and the Buddha statues in the hall are in tatters, and their faces are a little unrecognizable.

On the way to Nanhua Town last time, although it was also a mountain temple, it looked at least much more alive than this, because the traveling trips would still stop there.

It's not like here, it looks more dilapidated than the mountain huts where the hunters rest.

Fortunately, the building itself can still shelter from the wind and rain, in case of heavy rain, I have a place to stay, so as not to be unlucky in the wild!

I don't know when and who built this dilapidated temple, look at this dilapidated appearance, it should be rare for someone to pass by in a few years!

The thunder rumbled, and the rain outside had not yet fallen, but the black clouds were overwhelming, and it must be soon.

When I came, I felt that I was lucky, but when I looked around, I couldn't even find firewood here, and I felt depressed.

While I was looking around and inspecting the environment, the tsundere boy had already gone to the backyard to take a look.

I stopped in the corner of the wall to flicker on the long-remaining pile of firewood when I heard footsteps coming from behind.

It didn't take long for the boy to appear in my sight.

He called out to me: "Xiaoling, the backyard is connected to the hillside behind, I hear the sound of water over there, I'll take a walk." ”

I looked at him in a daze, and I didn't react for a moment.

The boy looked at the corners of my mouth and said, "Before the rain falls, I always have to be prepared, in case the rain continues to fall into the night, the mountains are very cold." ”

Naturally, he planned to visit the hillside connected to the backyard, and probably have to pick up some firewood before it rained.

"You stay here and rest, I'll come when I go."

After the boy finished speaking, he didn't say much, and walked around me and headed for the backyard.

I'm going to clear a small area on the side of the main hall that needs to be carefully cleaned enough for two people to rest temporarily.

I found a broom in the corner of the main hall that I don't know how long ago it was, and when I picked it up, it was dusty and felt like it was about to be weathered, so I had to give it up.

I simply ran to the front yard to find dead branches and blades of grass, and reluctantly made a replacement.

Return to the temple and begin to clear the floor in the corner.

The main thing is that it's too dirty here, and it's a bit unbearable for people with cleanliness habits.

I spent time in the temple doing things, but the boy came back very quickly, and I had just finished straightening up and looking into the backyard, I didn't expect him to move so fast.

I heard footsteps approaching, and it wasn't long before the boy came back with a bunch of dead branches of varying lengths.

This guy is quite efficient.

The tsundere boy reached out and threw the pile of dead branches near the ground I had cleaned up, and then he whispered to me, "Xiaoling, I found firewood first, but the fish outside didn't have time to catch it!" “

Fish, and fish, means water!

As soon as I heard about the fish, I immediately came to my senses, so there is a mountain stream near the hillside connected by the backyard?

I asked the young man, and he immediately nodded, and I was puzzled: "Young Master, why don't you catch a few by the way?" ”

I teased him last time, and I know very well the skills of the tsundere boy!

He had a bow and arrows on his back, and even if he didn't have a bow or arrows, he could catch a bunch of fish with the dagger he carried.

The boy didn't speak, looked at me quietly for a few seconds, and then suddenly gestured to me.

I understood it in an instant, and immediately stared at him with wide eyes!

Yes, I didn't expect that I could understand him without saying a word, just by his gestures!

Unconsciously, I also established an indescribable tacit understanding with the tsundere boy, and even I was surprised when I thought about it.

You know, when I met him near Suzhou City, my initial impression was very bad!

I stared at him as if to confirm my suspicions, and the boy nodded at me.

I knew in my heart, and I bowed my head silently.

After thinking about it carefully and sorting out my thoughts, I said to the young man: "At least there is firewood to protect against the cold, in case it is difficult to deal with and there is no need for a stalemate, just leave as soon as possible." ”

"It's okay even if the route is forced to change," I emphasized, "Young Master, you don't have to go to the fishing village, but safety must be guaranteed, you and my safety, this is my request." ”

"Xiaoling, security guarantee?"

The boy took a step closer to me, the corners of his lips moved, then he leaned closer to my face, stared at me with four eyes and asked, "That's all you ask of you?" ”

"Xiaoling, are you so unconfident in your master?"

I blushed at his actions, and quickly got up and took a few steps back to the side.

"Speak well!"

I frowned and looked at him, calmed down and said, "Young Master, it's not that you are scary with me, if you are sure enough, you can do it alone, why bother telling me!" ”

"In the wilderness, it has to rain heavily, and there is no one on the road, Xiaoling, don't you think it's boring?"

The tsundere boy suddenly smiled and said confidently: "Xiaoling, they may have to play some tricks, let's cooperate for the time being." “

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." (To be continued.) )
