The conversation from next door continued. "It's true that they didn't stay in Suzhou."

While speaking, the man next door paused and said, "The Suzhou Mansion is also very strange, there is not even news of conscription!" “

On the other side, I listened to my heart with a sigh of relief, and I couldn't figure it out, which was also a problem I struggled with. "Nanhua Town is different, I heard about the conscription a few days ago," the man said in a sullen tone, "Everyone in the town knows that people are panicking for a while. "It's all our people from Sealand, what are you worried about?" "Brother doesn't know, if they are temporarily recruited during the march, most of them will be arranged in the pioneer camp, what is the place in the pioneer camp?"

The person who said this suddenly stopped, as if hesitating whether to say the next sentence or not.

"Hey, you mean!"

Someone in the courtyard next door heard the sound and urged.

"The Pioneer Battalion is the place where you die," the voice in response was a little lower, "Every time a war starts, it is rushing to the forefront, haven't you heard?!" ”

In an instant, I frowned and turned around by the courtyard wall.

It's not a good thing to hear, but it's true, and I know it.

Looking back, most of the people in the courtyard were busy with their own affairs, and no one cared about the movement here in the courtyard wall.

I was in a trance for a moment, thinking that I didn't know what would happen next when I went to Nanhua Town.

There was some apprehension in my heart, and there was an indescribable taste, and I calmed down my emotions. Walk to the well.

I squatted down, soaked my hands in the clean water of the wooden barrel and washed them slowly.

This is a way to self-regulate my emotions by slowly calming down my emotions.

Less. I straightened up from the well and raised my hand to wipe the water from my face, and it didn't take long for the water on my hands to dry.

Taking advantage of this short pause to rest, I thought about it for a while and decided to ask about the situation in Nanhua Town.

I walked over to the wounded man in the game, looked at the group at the board, and then lowered my voice and continued to talk to him.

A moment to the carriage. There are people all around.

It was uncomfortable to be looked at by so many pairs of eyes, and the eyes of the steward boss of the dart board were staring at people like eagles, which was even more uncomfortable.

I think it's better to take advantage of the fact that the people in the dart game are scattered. Speak more freely.

After a few words of dialogue, I roughly understood the situation of the small town of Nanhua from his narration.

Nanhua Town is a small town between Suzhou and Beidi.

Because of the topography, Nanhua Town is equivalent to being built in the middle of the mountain.

Wang Shi bypassed Suzhou and chose to stay in the area of Nanhua Town for a short time, I don't know what kind of consideration it was based on. But the terrain is certainly one of the reasons.

There are many mountains and forests in that area. The terrain is complex and the area is large, as if there is a natural barrier.

It suddenly occurred to me that Wang Shi's choice of Nanhua Town might have something to do with someone

The young man galloped all the way from Suzhou City with two guards.

At noon we arrived at the mountain, and it was raining.

Early in the morning, I came out of the courtyard in the east of the city and went all the way to the mountain.

I've counted about half of the journey!

At the speed in front of us, we can at least reach Nanhua Town before dark.

The speed of the three of them was incomparable to that of the caravans passing on the mountain road.

When the boy went out, he rode the best horse in the stable of the east house of the Yuwen family.

The only advantage of this horse is that it is incredibly fast!

Therefore, the two guards chased after him very hard. Hurry up, for fear of losing your little master.

If you lose it halfway. They don't know what to do next!

Fortunately, the road conditions on the mountain road are acceptable, and there is not too much behind.

The boy reined in his horse and stopped on the mountain path, his eyes suddenly swept over the path in the woods beside him, and he frowned and stared for a while without speaking.

The guards who followed were stunned for a moment, and Ah Lai and the other guards looked at each other in unison.

The two of them didn't understand what the third young master meant by stopping on the mountain road at this time?

Could it be that Lin Gongzi walked the forest path?

Even if that's the case, how did the Third Young Master know?!

He behaved as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

However, the mountains and forests in that area are so quiet that only the sound of the wind can be heard, and as for the figures, there are not even half of them!

A confused look flashed in the guard's eyes, and he stopped there not knowing how to speak, and the young man said in a deep voice, "You guys come along!" ”

He didn't say much more, and after walking a little bit through the forest path, a mountain temple appeared not far in front of him.

The boy had walked this mountain path before, and he was a little unsure of his mind when he recalled it, and after hesitation, he finally decided to go to the mountain temple to have a look.

He couldn't tell where the feeling came from, or if it was just an intuition!

I didn't expect to run into Xiaoling's matter, he has always been rational and will trust his intuition one day, and a wry smile bloomed at the corner of the young man's mouth.

Staying in Qingyin Pavilion all night, he thought a lot, more than ever.

He recalled the whole process of meeting Xiaoling, the details of what happened on the way

The boy slowed down slightly, and walked slowly through the woods.

After a while, he turned his head to look at the guards who were silently following him, and after thinking, he said: "It rained heavily last night, if it were you, would you go directly to Nanhua Town at night or choose to take refuge in the mountains?" ”

The two guards exchanged glances, and Ah Lai's eyes were a little abrupt.

He met the young man's gaze and said, "Third Young Master, if you change to a small one, you will definitely take refuge in the mountains for a while." "There's a treacherous mountain stream down the hill ahead."

"It rained heavily last night, and I don't know what will happen to the bridge over the mountain stream and water!"

The guard Ah Lai said a few words one after another, because he had been to Nanhua Town, and he was more familiar with the terrain in this area than his own little master.

Therefore, the boy asked. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it carefully and came up with his own speculation.

The young man nodded, and the expression on his face softened slightly: "The same is true for you!" ”

"With Xiaoling's head. You and I can think of sheltering from the rain, and so does he. ”

While speaking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the mountain temple.

The boy dismounted from his horse and walked straight into the gate of the mountain temple.

The front hall of the mountain temple is very spacious, with a makeshift earthen stove on the ground, and charred black marks of burned firewood.

Don't wait for the boy's orders. Two guards had already begun to scrutinize the sidelines.

They are used to walking outside, and it is easy to draw conclusions on closer inspection.

There were quite a few people who stayed in the front hall of the mountain temple last night, count the number of people. There are at least a dozen of them.

The imprints left on the ground can find the answer.

The boy stayed aside and watched the guards scouting their methods, and his lips moved as he watched them busy, but he swallowed the words as he spoke.

His gaze swept over the small door beside him. Without the slightest hesitation. He walked back.

The guard raised his head and looked in the direction the boy was walking, then stood up and followed him to the backyard of the mountain temple.

The traces left here are also obvious, and anyone with experience can detect them, let alone guards!

In particular, the traces left on the ground by the pillars of the porch indicate that someone once lit a fire here.

The young man silently lowered his head and watched, staring at the marks on the ground in a daze, and even squatted down to stare at it for a while.

While he was concentrating, the guard Ah Lai turned back to the courtyard and took the kettle and dry food from his horse. Walked back to the backyard and handed it to the boy.

By the way, Ah Lai took his share and that of his companions.

The three of them stood under the porch of the mountain temple and ate some snacks.

Ah Lai raised his head from time to time to look at his little master, what Yuan Bao said to him in the courtyard last night still lingered in his heart.

He really wanted to take this opportunity to mention it to the third young master. It's like in the Ingot Plan.

He looked at the boy with hesitant eyes, thinking about how to speak.

Tell the third young master bluntly, I'm afraid that Lin Gongzi may not stay in Nanhua Town? Still is

After thinking about it, the young man turned his gaze to look at the guard Ah Lai, his eyes and expression were a little tentative: "Do you have something to tell you?" ”

"No, it's yes," Ah Lai said incoherently, glanced at him quickly, took a deep breath, lowered his head and whispered, "That Lin Gongzi must be in a hurry to go to the Northland." "Third Young Master, will we chase after an empty when we get to Nanhua Town?"

Ah Lai knew what Yuan Bao meant, and he had tried his best to speak more mellowly, but when the young man heard it, there was still a frown between his eyebrows.

He looked at Ah Lai's eyes, and his eyes were a little colder.

What he said just now was very unpleasant, and a look of displeasure appeared on the young man's face. "No, Xiaoling will definitely stay in Nanhua Town, it should be too late to chase after him at this time," the young man paused and said in a deep voice, "It's just that you can't stop when you get to the town, just search for his traces directly." “

The young man rarely said a long sentence, and he didn't explain the reason to the two guards below.

However, the certainty implicit in his tone could be heard by anyone.

The guards who followed him were stunned for a moment, but they met their eyes again, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, and they were vaguely a little uneasy

The climate in the mountains is variable.

After staying in the courtyard for less than half an hour, the boss of the steward of the dart bureau signaled the big guys to pack up and prepare to go.

After a short pause, the carriage was back on the road, still the same as before, and I hitched a ride with them.

According to the predetermined plan, it should be possible to reach the small town of Nanhua before dark.

The boss of the dart bureau took a look at me attentively as I got into the car, and there was something unfinished in his eyes.

Occasionally, my gaze swept over the faces of the other people sitting in the carriage.

Seeing their calm expressions, the uneasiness that had lingered in my heart gradually disappeared.

Actually, I don't need to worry too much.

At the moment, I'm just a person, and I'm more comfortable moving in and out.

I don't even need to think about anything else, as long as I find a way to find out about Wang Shi's movements when I stay in Nanhua Town, and have a general understanding of their next arrangements.

It is estimated that at about the same time, they can all go to the same goal - the Northland!

The speed at which the dart board was driving slowly increased.

Although it has rained on the mountain road, the road condition looks good.

Approaching the town, the road is much wider and relatively flat.

Perhaps because of the better weather, the road began to be lively after passing through the deserted village!

Occasionally, a carriage passed by the dart board, and I turned my head to look out the window and saw that the cars were speeding faster than ours.

I thought that once I arrived in Nanhua Town, I would definitely have to walk around the town for a while.

It's better to take advantage of the time that hasn't yet arrived, temporarily close your eyes and seize a moment to recuperate.

The people at the dart bureau have said that their employer lives in the center of the town and is expected to go straight to the location as soon as they get to the town.

What about me? I plan to take a walk around Nanhua Town, and follow my old rules to find a way to get news.

Because what I overheard before was all about Wang Shi's traces, I was already very sure that they were not far from Nanhua Town at the moment.

Thinking about this made my heart settle down a little

When the carriage finally approached the boundary of Nanhua Town, I had a preconceived impression just like the news I had heard from my fellow dart players.

The terrain becomes higher and the trail has an upward slope.

As mentioned earlier, Nanhua Town was built on the middle of the mountain.

As the carriage approached the town, I sat up straight, opened my eyes, and felt the carriage beneath me drift down the slope a little bit.

The injured man in the dart bureau was more polite, he turned to me and said earnestly: "Doctor, you can follow our dart board car all the way to the center of the town and then go down." ”

"You have to walk a lot, the town is built on a hill, and the slopes are not easy to walk."

I nodded, looked at him gratefully, and said, "Thank you." ”

Glancing at the steward of the dart bureau sitting on the side, he did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.

The carriage entered the town smoothly and continued along the slope.

Around the same time, the speed of the vehicles entering the town slowed down.

The dart board did as promised, and dropped me down in the center of town.

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood what the other party meant.

Just because this place has not yet arrived at the house where the employer of the dart bureau is located, they let me get off the bus early out of confidentiality considerations.

At parting, I thanked the steward and said two words to the injured man in the dart game.

Standing on the street, watching their car go around the alley and turn without a trace.

At this moment, I stood on the street of Nanhua Town, breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little distracted for a moment.

It seems that coming out of the east house in Suzhou, my heart has always been carrying, and I have always felt uneasy.

The road conditions were harder than I expected, but although it took some time, there was a help that I didn't expect.

It was a complete accident to meet the people in the dart game, and the healing and the subsequent construction of a temporary bridge were all episodes along the way.

Therefore, it will be slightly later than I planned to arrive in Nanhuazhen.

The only thought in my mind at the moment is that when I get to town, as long as the people of the king master do not arrive before me, I will be in time! (To be continued.) )
