Chapter 204: A Notice from the Town
What's up ahead?
Did the two passers-by go their separate ways after speaking?
I thought silently in my heart, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer to us!
What is that man here for in such a remote place?
...... The figure who sat under the tree was too obvious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At first glance, it is easy to identify him.
Because it's like a typical mountain dweller.
I came out of Nanhua Town with the boy and went north along the official road.
The first mountain village I stayed in at that time had seen people dressed up in similar costumes.
In other words, this person is of the same type as the hunters seen in the Nanhua Town.
After asking a few words, it was confirmed that it was the result of my guess.
He was indeed a mountain dweller who lived not far from here.
"Don't be afraid, we're just passing through," I glanced down at him, "and I saw someone suddenly appear in the barren mountains...... Our young master was worried that you were a bad person, so he made a move. ”
I spoke softly to him, but I didn't hear him respond.
I thought about it, and added in an accentuated tone: "I won't tell you, in fact, when we came on the way...... I've met robbers before! ”
That always explains why we are so anxious to meet strangers!
Of course, we did meet robbers.
But it was on the boat to Suzhou City, and I was confused with the tsundere boy by mistake, and I was kidnapped.
It's been a long time.
The reason why I want to take it out and say it is purely to let down the guard of the mountain man in front of me who was restrained by the tsundere boy.
When they hunt in the mountains, it should be easy to understand what I am talking about, and when they encounter danger, they will become more alert and more sensitive to everything around them.
If there is a wind and grass, he often worries about whether there are variables, and the so-called defensive heart is probably so.
Ordinary people may not understand, but hunting mountain people, they can understand.
His expression fluctuated, but unfortunately I still didn't hear any response, and I stared at him and felt strange at once.
"Hey, why don't you speak?"
I stared at the mountain people for a moment, and then looked at the young man suspiciously, waiting for him to explain, it stands to reason that there should be no response!
"Young Master, he'...... What's going on with him? ”
I heard a little sound when I was hiding in a tree!
Although I couldn't hear it clearly, it was true that there was a sound of speech coming from the front.
Besides, this man was with his companions at the time, talking with his companions, and he couldn't be dumb!
"Xiaoling, when I started before, I directly sealed his acupoint."
The boy looked at me, his gaze fell on my face, and then he blinked, "So...... He has to untie it for him before he can speak. ”
The boy replied calmly.
It dawned on me that I wondered why I had watched the man below struggle and not utter a word.
...... "Do you want him to shout...... Do you want to bring in your former companions? Xiaoling!"
The boy reached out and patted me on the shoulder, leaned closer to the man and asked, "You'd better be honest, and after asking clearly, I can untie it for you, and I'll let you go." ”
The eyes of the tsundere boy are very lethal, and it is easy to parry!
"You just have to shake your head and nod in response."
The young man asked him in a deep voice, "The people who were with you just now are all from the same village?" ”
The mountain people nodded, still nervous, but their eyes looked sincere.
"I heard you talking, coming back from town?"
The mountain folk nodded again.
I knew that the town that the tsundere boy was talking about must be the next stop we wanted to go to, and I was immediately happy.
The mountain people know the way, and they must know how to get to the official road!
"Great, you know the way, big brother!"
I crouched down and looked at him and said, "Can you tell me which way you are going from here?" ”
"We're lost in the mountains and can't find the right direction," I tilted my head and explained to him, "since you know how to go, tell us directly!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I remembered what I had overlooked, and suddenly patted my head and said, "How did I forget, your acupoint was ordered by the eldest young master just now, and I will ask him to untie it for you." ”
I looked at the tsundere boy, and his expression was very unhappy.
He quietly looked away from the mountain people, took a step closer to me and frowned: "Xiaoling, even if this person can recognize the way, what are you so enthusiastic about shouting him for!" ”
I was stunned, where is the heat?
Could it be that he casually called him "big brother", and the tsundere boy couldn't get used to it?
Question: This kind of title is just the most common name when asking for directions!
In addition, we want to inquire about the correct route, of course, we have to be polite to people.
I stared at the tsundere boy speechlessly for a few seconds, then calmed down and slowed down my tone and said, "Young Master, you can untie it for him, or how will people tell us?" ”
"No, his companion hasn't gone far yet, I don't understand!"
The teenager flatly refused.
He looked displeased, and his brow furrowed when he looked at me.
"Young Master, I said...... Even if that person doesn't go far, once you unlock the acupuncture path for him, if he dares to shout, will he die? ”
I patiently tried to persuade the young man: "Young master, I don't think he's that stupid!" ”
The tsundere boy was willing to make a move, and the other party had no power to parry at all, and he said that his reluctance was purely due to the unpleasant relationship of the previous conversation.
I knew it, but I couldn't pierce him directly.
After thinking about it, I had to follow his thoughts and statements to find some reasonable reasons.
...... After a while, the boy reluctantly nodded.
He walked up to the mountain man, and after a few moments of relief, the man spoke in a hoarse voice.
"From here, follow the path by the stream, walk to the woods on the hillside in front of you, and follow the mountain path...... Then through the valley, there is a trail...... You can also see the village nearby, which is where we live. ”
"The village is not far from the official road, so it's easy to find."
The mountaineers described the route to us in a local accent.
I listened attentively and thanked him.
Then I stood up, looked at the tsundere boy and said, "Now it's clear how the road went." ”
"Young Master, do you want to let him go now, or let him lead the way for us?"
The young man was silent, lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the mountain people and stared at him with his eyes firmly and asked, "Since you have returned from the town, how did you come here with your companions?" ”
Yes, it sounds like the village they live in is not in the same direction as where we are now.
The mountain man and his companions were doing something strange.
I couldn't help but look at him curiously, waiting for an answer.
"I made a trap in the nearby woods, and wanted to see if there was any living creature caught in the trap pit, so I asked him to rush back to the village first and come and see for himself."
The mountain people still looked at each other with the same sincerity.
He replied quickly, not at all like he was lying.
A thought flashed through my mind, and I looked at the tsundere boy and asked, "Young Master, could it be that the hare you caught before was caught from the trap he dug?" ”
The young man nodded without changing his face.
I was a little amused in my heart, but this time I looked at the mountain people with a gentler look.
"You also heard that we ran out of dry food on the way here, and we were so hungry."
"When I was on my way, I found a hare in the trap over there and ate it, thank you, big ......."
I suddenly turned my head to look at the tsundere boy who was staring at me, and immediately stopped his words and said, "Anyway, thank you!" ”
"We've caught and eaten all the hares in the trap, so do you want to go back to the village or continue to have a look?"
I looked at the mountain man and asked him.
"If you're going back to the village, stop by!"
After a pause, I continued: "Why don't you help us lead the way and lead us on a journey, we are going to the official road." ”
"I don't know if we can get to town before dark, if we don't have time to get to town?"
I asked as I walked behind the mountain people.
The young man followed me calmly, and Uncle Decrepit still walked at the end of the line.
......, "Since you went to the town to catch the market, why did you come back halfway?" ”
When I heard what the mountain people were saying, I couldn't help but look at him and ask.
I have the impression that generally speaking, people who go to the market set out from the mountains before dawn and go to the town to complete the market.
I brought mountain goods to sell them in stores or stalls, and bought what I needed at home.
This process takes at least half a day, and you usually come back before dark.
Look at the sun in heaven, and the hour now...... It shouldn't be the time for them to come back!
The mountain people whispered to me, "Little brother, we saw a notice in the town, so we rushed back, planning to go to the village to talk to everyone." ”
"The notice of the town...... Is it important? ”
I asked, looking at him thoughtfully.
They need to hurry back from the town, what happened?
The mountain people hesitated for a moment and responded to me: "Little brother, the town is recruiting, and it is said that the pioneer battalion of the king division is still short of manpower. ”
"Because the war in the Northland is about to start, they plan to continue recruiting."
My eyes lit up!
Trying to suppress my excitement, I couldn't wait to ask him, "Is Master Wang stationed in the town?" ”
When the mountain people heard this, they shook their heads at me and said, "Not really! ”
"Little brother, we heard that Master Wang has gone to the north."
The mountain man looked at me and replied in the affirmative.
"Didn't you just say that Master Wang was recruiting, why did you say that you went to the Northland?"
I clenched my fists, looked at him disappointedly, and muttered.
The young man stepped forward and reached out to grab my arm: "Xiaoling, I can answer this question." ”
"How would you know," I said, as I shook his hand away, "haven't you always been with me, young master?" ”
Descending from the waterfall in the cave passage, we seldom dispersed along the way, except for him to hunt in the woods, and he never said that he had received a message from the people below.
Where did he get the news?
"I heard their conversation, I heard it clearly." The young man said in a light tone.
"When you're in the trees?" I looked at him in surprise and couldn't help but shake my head, "Your ears...... What's going on! ”
At such a distance, I actually heard what the other party said clearly, it was amazing!
"It is true that Wang Shi went to the Northland, but the town left people to continue to recruit people, and the local government assisted."
The tsundere boy spoke briefly.
He looked at me with an inquiring look on his face, as if gauging my reaction.
I didn't think about it, and turned to the mountain people again and asked, "Did you hear the exact news in the town, or did you guess it yourself?" ”
The mountain people didn't answer, and were interrupted by the tsundere boy!
He grabbed my arm and said, "Xiaoling, with such a large team and such a big battle as Master Wang, there will definitely be movement when they want to leave the town." ”
The boy paused, then looked at me and said, "How is it possible that the people are still in the town and the people don't know about it?" ”
"Xiaoling, are you just a few people?"
The tsundere boy was right, and according to the itinerary, it corresponded to what the mountain people just said...... In this way, the current position of Wang Shi ...... Leaving the town and heading north, the next stop is the Northlands!
Master Wang should be approaching the Northland, almost arriving at the place where they are going!
At this moment I figured it out, and my mood was a little low.
The time for the war between the two sides is not far away, and Wang Shi was delayed for some reason when he was in Nanhua Town...... They couldn't have been on the road for too long.
Wang Shi...... I'll just hurry up and get to the Northland!
Wait a minute! Suddenly, I had an idea, if I went to war, wouldn't it be the vanguard battalion to take the lead?
That means if the Pioneer Camp doesn't have all the manpower...... They may not go to war!
Maybe it's just to settle down and prepare for the war when you get to the Northland.
Think about it from a different perspective...... I was immediately convinced by my own speculation, because there was a good reason!
After a long journey, I felt a lot better and remembered something else.
Since Wang Shi has set up a campaign for the manpower of the pioneer camp in the town, what is the situation in the town?
The notice issued by Wang Shi is an unplanned situation, and what I saw with the tsundere boy in the mountains may be an explanation.
Wang Shi is short of manpower...... After seeing the notice, did the people of Sealand sign up enthusiastically or ......
I had an idea, and immediately looked at the mountain people and asked.
"Tell me more about what you saw in town."
You must know that the mountain people are the ones who have just learned the news and come from the town, and they must know the reactions of the local people, and he is also a part of it, isn't he?
According to his age, it was also within the scope of the conscription notice. (To be continued.) )
