Chapter 424: I Know It in My Heart
I had a bold idea in my heart!
Since there is a loophole, it means that there is a matter of conscription...... I'm sure I'll find an opportunity in it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I looked up at the trail in the distance.
In my opinion, although the speed of the cart is not fast, and the horse pulling the cart does not seem to be able to run, at least it is much better than walking on its own two legs!
The mountain wind blew, the cold was freezing, and the eldest lady sitting next to me couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough.
She coughed for a while before stopping.
provoked the old man who was driving the car in front of him to look back at her several times.
There was a look of concern and worry in his eyes.
I was very close to her, and casually picked up a water bladder from the side, and my heart should have been carried by my aunt, so I reached out and handed it over.
The eldest lady took a few sips and calmed down her coughing and wheezing a little.
After a short while, I met the eyes of the lady on the side again, and she asked me, "Do your relatives live in the town?" ”
I nodded.
The old man who was driving the car looked back at me and said earnestly: "There is going to be a war in the north, and it is very chaotic." ”
"Actually, it's better to go out and walk around less."
He paused and said, "We can't do anything, we must go to town if we have something." ”
I bowed my head and fell into deep thought again.
The current situation...... If you get outside the town and can't find a way to get in......
I mean, if you're not sure through the check, it's going to be a very tricky thing.
I'll have to think about it.
Now that you have an idea, you need to have a plan of action for the next step, and then put it into practice.
I consider myself a very actionable person, and I want to do it when I think of it.
Needless to say, Northland Town is there.
When we entered the town, Chen Xiang was driving the car for us.
At that time, he still had the token given to him by General Han in his hand.
With me and Master Wan, Chen Xiang will be able to pass the inspection of the guards at the entrance of the town smoothly with the token at that time.
Later, I cooperated with Master Wan and the fake attendant who now seemed to have taken the place of someone else's identity and went to Zhennan Street.
Stop there...... If there is a mess, wait until you get out of town later...... I don't know what the Martyrdom Pavilion people used to get the carriage out of town.
Right under the noses of the guards.
Anyway, when I woke up, I saw that I was already in the mountains.
To sum up, the things in Northland Town can't be my reference.
I have to think about when I came out of Suzhou.
I remember that I also thought of an expedient way at that time, so that I was able to leave Suzhou City smoothly.
In situations of tension or chaos, I know that the guards will be more rigorous.
The carriage drove forward, and the eldest lady couldn't help but say on the side: "Fortunately, the weather is good today, but it rained all night last night!" ”
I listened intently as she spoke.
The eldest lady said, "In the morning, I'm worried that I won't be able to go out!" ”
Hearing this, my eyes fell on the eldest lady's face.
They also waited for the day to clear up completely, and it is estimated that the road coming out of the village was still very wet in the morning, and they delayed their actions for several hours.
However, if you take a closer look at the eldest lady's complexion, I can actually see that there is a problem.
It's a pity that I'm in a delicate position now, and I may be leaving soon...... I hesitated and didn't ask more.
It's not a good feeling!
The old man who was driving the car in front turned his head and said, "When we get to the town, let's go directly to the pharmacy to grab some medicine." ”
"I haven't finished drinking the medicine last time, it doesn't work, so don't spend money."
The eldest lady said with helplessness in her tone, and coughed again in the middle of speaking.
I turned my head and felt a little indescribable, if it were under normal circumstances, I would have wanted to ask more, and even helped.
However, I was about to arrive in town, and things were different.
...... The car turned around the hill and their conversation continued.
"The doctor who sat in the pharmacy last time has already left, and when he heard the news of the war in the Northland, he left the town!"
A hint of confusion flashed in my eyes, and then my eyes turned to my aunt.
"I always heard from the guy in the pharmacy, and the people outside didn't see him, so I only knew."
After hearing this, the old man who was driving the car sighed and responded: "The soldiers are in chaos, and they are not from the town, even if they leave, it's not strange!" ”
"Not to mention the town, there are people in the village who have left."
The atmosphere was a bit dreary.
I thought about it for a while, and asked the eldest lady in a low voice: "Because of the war in the Northland, how many people have left in the nearby town?" ”
I thought of the dock in Suzhou and thought of something, so I couldn't help but want to ask.
It can be regarded as understanding the situation and the specific situation of the town from the mouths of the local people.
I'm going to go there soon, and I want to have a bottom in my heart, so I'm more concerned.
The old man who was driving the car looked back at me.
Before the eldest lady could speak, he took the topic first and said: "It's a lot, so it's difficult to recruit soldiers, aren't there still some people who escape?" ”
"At first, the checks weren't so strict," the old man turned his head and continued to look at the road ahead.
He paused as he spoke, and then continued: "Not now, there are many guards guarding the town in and out!" ”
"If you want to leave, you have to pass the check, it's not that easy."
I looked down again and thought about it.
They were right, because the war was about to begin, but it was not allowed to cause chaos at this juncture.
I don't know what the reaction was to the chaos in Northland, but I think I'll continue to investigate.
After a while, I looked ahead and asked, "There is going to be a war on both sides, and the army on the princess's side is already stationed in the Northland, right?" ”
The eldest lady glanced at me and replied, "The ...... I heard that the distance from the king of Sealand is not far. ”
She didn't seem to finish her sentence, and I looked at her for a continuation.
The eldest lady continued to me: "I heard that there are still a group of people there about ten miles outside the town. ”
Hearing this, I looked at my aunt in amazement, a little puzzled: "How do you know the news over there?" ”
In other words, it's a military situation!
The eldest lady is in the mountain village, did she mention that there are people in the barracks at home, and even if there is, the news will not spread out, and there are many roads away!
How did she find out?
Things were a bit strange and made me feel weird, so I wanted to know.
"We heard from the people who deliver food in the village."
The eldest lady explained to me.
I looked at her and continued to ask, "Auntie, what do you say?" ”
"Someone in our village delivers food to the restaurant in the town, and when I hear the people over there talk about it, it's just a few words, and they don't dare to talk about it."
The eldest lady approached me and lowered her voice.
This is also a sensitive topic, just like it is a reason that it is not convenient to discuss Wang Shi's whereabouts in Northland Town.
...... Last night's heavy rain still had a great impact on the road conditions.
The mountain road we walked before, because the terrain is still quite high, so the road conditions are always passable.
At least in my opinion, the run along the way is not too bumpy.
However, a relatively low-lying mountain road near the town was waterlogged in many places due to last night's heavy rains.
The whole road got muddy.
The car shook so badly that I was afraid that the car would overturn a few times.
Seeing the situation, the old man who was driving the car specially slowed down.
There were still people in the car, and he had to be careful to be on the safe side.
In the distance, we could already see the town ahead, but it was still a little bit away.
Because although the town looks relatively close, the suburbs are empty, and the actual walking time is not as short as imagined.
I found an excuse and got out of the car after passing the most muddy part of the road at the lowest point.
...... I naturally have my reasons.
I also know that the aunts and uncles must be a little confused.
Why would people who go to town get off halfway?!
Actually, I saw the increasing number of cars and pedestrians on the surrounding paths.
I've been paying close attention to my surroundings!
In my opinion, it would be too late and too hasty to wait until we were outside the town to find a solution.
If you want to get in smoothly, you have to think about what to do in advance.
I watched the car drive along and saw a fork in the road in the distance, and vaguely saw a place in the forest where I could stay.
In that direction, there were indeed carriages with passers-by.
I thought about it quickly and changed my mind for a moment.
I decided to get out of the car early to check it out.
Seeing the old man's car go away, I turned around and walked a little back, and then walked on the fork in the woods.
The terrain along the way is slowly getting a little higher.
I gradually saw the path in the woods clearly...... Sure enough, it was a very dilapidated temple.
The car I saw was probably coming from a nearby road.
From a distance, I saw that there seemed to be an open space at the entrance of the ruined temple, and I saw a car parked there.
I thought to myself, if I guessed correctly, it was a place on the way to stop.
...... I carried my baggage and walked out into the open space.
Looking at the ruined temple in front of me, it looks like it has been some years.
However, in my opinion, it is slightly better than the place where I stayed in Suzhou to Nanhua Town last time.
I have in mind contrasts and conclusions.
Standing outside the wall, I heard the faint sound of people inside, and when I looked at the carriage parked under the trees outside, I knew I was right.
When I walked in with my baggage on my back, I saw a few mountain people sitting under the eaves.
They sat almost shoulder to shoulder.
Hearing my footsteps, several people looked at me in unison.
When you meet a stranger in a strange place, everyone will take a closer look.
I stood there and nodded at them in a friendly manner.
Seeing that my expression was soothing and calm, one of them even greeted me loudly.
"Little brother, you can't go inside," he reminded me, "and you want to rest, just sit here with us." ”
What's going on?
I frowned at them, wondering if I had misunderstood.
When I got closer, the mountain people gestured to me.
I understood, and I couldn't help but look into the ruined temple, but the door was hidden, and I couldn't see the people inside, only vaguely seeing the figures shaking.
The mountain people then lowered their voices and said, "Little brother, I won't tell you, there are a few military masters inside!" ”
"Little brother, they are resting here too."
However, on the way I walked in from the path, I only saw the carts of the mountain people in the open space outside, but I did not see the horses of the military masters they said they were riding.
As soon as I looked around, I suddenly realized something, those people in the army...... It must have been parked in the open space behind the ruined temple!
I thought about it, then went under the eaves and unwrapped my baggage and set it aside.
Then he sat down a little distance away from the mountain people.
The mountain people were discussing things, and it was nothing more than the arrangement after arriving in the town.
Several people still have a bit of different opinions, so they speak a little louder.
I was unusually quiet when I was resting on the sidelines.
...... I thought about it, but I couldn't think of a better idea for a while, and decided to wait here a little longer to see if anyone else passed by.
At the same time, because I heard that there were people in the army staying in the ruined temple, I was actually quietly paying attention to the movement inside when I was actually sitting under the eaves.
If they shed some information during the conversation, it would be very useful for me right now.
However, I didn't hear the conversation, and it seemed to be quiet, so could it really be a break?
The question is that it is daytime, and in broad daylight, do you sleep in a ruined temple?
I turned my head and looked inside the room, but I couldn't see a clue.
After thinking about it for a moment, I moved a little away and put my baggage in order.
I knew what I brought, but my aunt took it and packed it for me.
It means that the burden I carry now is heavier than when I woke up in a strange place.
When I opened the bag, I saw the bag of steamed buns that my aunt had wrapped for me, but my eyes suddenly stared.
Because under the bag of steamed buns, I saw a very small cloth bag.
As I said, I know what I have with me, so I can tell when I look at it that I didn't have it before.
It is the homespun cloth of the mountain people, and it is a very small bag.
I had a hunch in my heart, and when I reached for it, a slight noise reminded me!
This bag, as I suspected, was a little money that my aunt had quietly stuffed into me.
At that moment, at that moment, I felt heavy in my heart and a little sour in my nose.
It's a feeling I've ever experienced.
It was a warm and kind gesture from a stranger who met in Pingshui.
Maybe it's not just the eldest mother, but also the aunt who led the way for me.
...... I quickly sorted out the things I brought, and I could count them all.
I don't know why, but at that moment, I once again remembered the attendant next to the so-called Lord Liu who stayed with me in the teahouse when I was in Beidi Town.
