He stayed in the kitchen and didn't come along?

I secretly said in my heart that the tsundere boy is so rude!

What the hell is going on with that guy, I didn't understand what he did for a while.

Because in my opinion, since the male hosts have returned, we are just temporarily staying overnight, of course we have to come out to say a few words.

Is that guy okay to hide by the earthen stove and make a fire?

I cowered in the wind, turned my head to look at the kitchen, and suddenly realized that the night in the mountains was indeed very cold.

As soon as my mind moved, I thought again, isn't that guy really hungry on the road and eating?!

The three of them stood in the courtyard, the mountain wind blew, and after waiting for a while, I didn't see my "big brother" come out.

I had to smile apologetically at the uncle and aunt and said, "The hot soup is ready, and the aunt will guide me." "It's getting late, can we talk while we eat?"

After speaking, I looked at the eldest mother, and I could already see that the dominant power of this couple was on the eldest mother.

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Okay." ”

It seems that my frankness is quite tempered by her.

I lowered my voice and whispered to my eldest mother: "Auntie, my eldest brother has a strange temper. "You don't know, he's been broken before."

The eldest lady suddenly opened her mouth and looked at me and said, "I sat in a room talking before, but I didn't see his face."

I made a "shhhh ”

"So you didn't even see it. Fortunately, the doctor I found was amazingly skilled. ”

The old couple looked at each other and looked at me in unison, as if waiting for me to continue.

Hey, I like to listen to gossip, it seems that people everywhere are the same. Even if you live deep in the mountains.

"When the eldest brother broke his appearance earlier, he looked at several girls in a row, and they didn't look down on him," I lowered my head and thought about it, and said in a sullen tone, "I think he is ugly, so the eldest brother's temper is getting worse and worse." "Big brother is also very pitiful."

The eldest lady looked at me with a sympathetic expression. He also glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

The eldest lady sighed and said, "Your eldest brother looks at a very good person, and the men don't just look at their appearance, but those women don't have eyes." "You're right. I've always persuaded him to come," I said positively as I looked at my aunt, "but it's a pity that he was hit too hard earlier, so his temper can't be changed for the time being." “

"But I think he's looking good now. It should be better in time. I clenched my fist lightly and said, "My temper will gradually improve, I believe him." "If he does anything wrong, I'll apologize to you here."

consciously rendered almost inseparable, who called the tsundere boy not to cooperate?

It's okay if he doesn't cooperate, and I have to waste my tongue, and in the end I don't have to use the same rhetoric.

This is the second time I say it, and my tone is smooth. You don't need to think about it.

I changed the subject and winked at them. "Auntie, you can taste my craft later."

The three of them walked in the direction of the kitchen, the uncle was in front and behind, and I helped the eldest lady by the hand.

She looked sideways at me and whispered, "How did your eldest brother's face break the phase, I'll take a closer look at him later." ”

Me: ""

Everyone was happy to eat the meal, and the hot soup that I had spent time making was unanimously praised by the old couple.

There was only one person beside him, and the silence seemed a little slight.

The boy occasionally raised his head, and his eyes were focused on my face, and he couldn't tell what it was.

The eldest lady sitting opposite was full, and a pair of eyes stared at the face of the tsundere boy, as if she wanted to find traces of the broken phase from his face.

I think she's probably going to be disappointed.

After being stared at several times, the boy suddenly frowned, and I think he probably sensed that something was wrong.

didn't wait for him to ask, the next second it was the eldest lady who spoke first: "It's okay, even if you have broken your appearance before, you can't see it now." "Listen to the eldest mother's words, you don't have to worry about finding a daughter-in-law."

The tsundere boy was confused, looked at them confused, and then turned his head to stare at me.

"yes, that's right." It was rare for her wife to put down the bowl and echo.

I quickly lowered my head and didn't look at the tsundere boy, my back was about to sweat.

miscalculated, I knew that I should have told the old couple just now, at least don't mention this matter in front of him.

Now, is it me shooting myself in the foot?!

I had no choice but to stop looking at the tsundere boy's cold face, and bowed my head and drank the soup with taste.

At the dinner table, it's always easy to start a conversation, and this time it's the same.

"Auntie, when we came, we saw a lot of people on the mountain," I thought about and asked her, "how many strangers do you have here?" ”

The eldest lady glanced at me and immediately said to me, "We are not far from the bottom of the mountain, and the road at the bottom is the only way to go to the northland." “

"On weekdays, there are people like you, who go to the Northlands."

The eldest lady said in a gentle tone: "When I walked to us, I saw that it was almost dark, so I went up the mountain to stay overnight, and Ming'er continued to hurry." "I know that, we're going over there." When I heard this, I immediately answered.

The eldest lady looked at me strangely, her lips moved, and she looked at her wife before continuing to me: "People who go to the Northland, if the weather is bad in this area, there are also people who come to us. "A few days ago, there were passers-by who came to stay overnight."

My heart moved, and I said, "Auntie, how have you been looking at the guests recently?" “

"It's not a lot this time, it's the same as before."

The eldest lady paused and said, "Didn't there be a war in the North some time ago?" ”

She was in a trance for a moment, and then said: "There were a lot of people passing by for a while, and there were also families who came in a hurry. ”

"Oh. Heading to the Northland? I was stunned.

The eldest lady hurriedly said: "Of course, people from the Northland, there are some merchants in Sealand who do business in the Northland. "You're from the south, and you know more than we do."

I subconsciously patted my head. It was a slip of the tongue just now! "Didn't you say there was going to be a war? As soon as many business people in the Northland heard the news of the war, they returned with their families. “

The eldest lady paused, put down the bowl and said, "Passing by us, it is common to stay." ”

"I couldn't sleep in the yard, so they slept in the carriage directly down the mountain."

When the eldest lady said this, her eyes turned to the young man's side. Gave the tsundere boy a serious look again.

I caught a glimpse of it and quickly lowered my head.

I'm thinking about what she said, it seems that the forest near the mountain road. There are quite a few people who stay.

There was a hint of worry in my heart, and I hoped that the place where the boy had chosen was that the place where the carriage was parked was secluded enough.

If someone sees it, I'm afraid tomorrow morning when the two of us go down the mountain. The carriage will not be found!

There are a lot of people coming and going. Anything can happen, let alone an ownerless carriage? "Our yard here is not big, and those people can't live in a room, so they just go up the mountain to get hot water and food."

My aunt explained to me that her wife was nodding her head next to her, and that it was indeed common for them to meet passers-by, and I listened to them speak in a calm tone.

Conversely. This is also the reason why the eldest lady was not too wary when she saw us.

I have the impression that mountain people should be more wary of strangers they meet for the first time. But the lady showed a very friendly appearance.

Their actions proved my guess from the side.

"You two brothers, what are you going to do in the Northland?" My aunt asked me.

"There is someone in the family who is doing things over there, and because it has been too chaotic recently, I want to go to him and come back together."

The young man next to me said in a deep voice, I turned my head to look at him in surprise, he didn't look at me, but glanced at the eldest lady and answered with a natural attitude.

After all, it's not a stuffy gourd, and I know how to take the initiative to speak

In fact, the dishes I cook are the most homely and simple.

The kitchen of the eldest lady's house has ready-made pickled products, which are almost a must-have for mountain people's homes.

Using local materials, I picked a few green vegetables in the yard and made a hot soup by the way.

Before the meal, I heard the thunder and knew that the sky in the mountains was about to change.

Sure enough, when the four of us finished eating, my aunt was still praising me, and the heavy rain outside had already poured down.

She reached out and thumped her leg a few times, and I saw it, and said to her, "I'll show you later." ”

I stood up, looked at the roof of the house and asked, "Auntie, is it okay if it rains?" ”

Seeing that the shack was not very strong, I asked.

Thinking that if they arranged to sleep in the same room with the tsundere boy tonight, I would just come here and take a nap by the stove.

I took advantage of it a little bit, because I didn't need to catch the car during the day, and the tsundere boy was the main force.

If I don't get enough sleep at night, I can catch up on my sleep in the carriage tomorrow when I'm on my way during the day, and I don't have to worry too much.

"Don't worry, this shed is not reliable, but it is actually very strong," her wife continued, "We all build similar houses here, and we use strong wood from the mountains, so we don't have to worry about rain, wind, or wind." ”

"That's good." I breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked at them and took the initiative to say, "You're all done, go back to the house to rest, I'll clean up the table." ”

After some rejection, it wasn't me who cleaned up the table.

I have more important things to do, to treat my aunt's leg ailment

Tianfang and the gang below were divided into two boats.

The newly found boat of Tianfang's subordinates was a little smaller than the one they were on, and it looked like a long, narrow boat, which was easy to pass through the narrow alleyway.

This is not only the order of the heavens, but also the experience of the ship boss in the past.

Tianfang looked at the boat docked on the shore, nodded and said, "Without further ado, let's start now." “

The boat traveled some distance over the river and turned into a branch of the river.

The meaning of the boat boss was somewhat understood by the people who accompanied Tianfang, but they were not particularly clear about the terrain in that area.

Therefore, after getting on the boat, Tianfang summoned them to him, stretched out his hand and dipped his hand in the water on the deck to sketch a rough topographical map.

He drew so quickly that everyone below understood the mystery when they saw it.

On the surface, this branch of the river may seem a bit risky when it passes through, but the distance saved is not a fraction of a star.

At least from the diagram, even if you need to slow down when navigating a dangerous road, it will be much faster than taking a big road out of this water.

Because one side is equivalent to a bend, and the other side is the shortest distance line that connects the middle of the two places.

Not everyone is willing to take this risk, as you can imagine.

However, there are many people who are willing to take the plunge.

This has to do with people's personalities and the urgency to go south!

The waterway to be taken in front of you is usually a place that is not specifically marked on the general waterway diagram.

The reason why it is not marked is to prevent some people from not being able to figure out the situation and take risks in a daze, and lose their lives in vain.

No matter how detailed a map is, it can only be used as a reference tool, and many roads need to be walked to know the real situation.

For example, in the Northland, after an earthquake, many trails that were originally marked on the map will be interrupted due to landslides or mountain streams after the earthquake.

The group listened to the tone of the ship's boss, even if they knew that the area was dangerous, and the ships that haunted every day would never be broken.

Because many people are willing to take risks in a hurry.

Especially for people who come from the south to the north to do business, and there are people like them, it has long been common for them to encounter danger when walking in the rivers and lakes.

Repeatedly born and died, which time is not walking on the tip of the knife, with habits, it is not strange to think that it is usual!

Everyone who is willing to choose this path has their own reasons.

As the boat approached the narrow water, Tianfang seemed to think of something, he turned his head and inadvertently asked his subordinates: "How could you be so quick when you went to find the boat before?" “

Their large ships were parked outside the town, and as far as the eye could see, many of them stopped at the dock.

However, when I came ashore, I had taken a few general glances, and it seemed that I had not seen at a glance the boatmen who could be hired from among the large and small ships anchored at the dock.

Of course, he was referring to a ship that suited his heart, so much so that when they found the report later, Tianfang was a little surprised.

He was on the shore at that time, and he drank tea and rested at a tea stall near the pier.

A subordinate went to a shop near the dock to prepare some dry food to carry with the ship in case of emergency.

Therefore, the matter of finding a ship was entrusted to the subordinates who remained on the dock.

The boat slowly entered the dangerous road, and when Tianfang asked, one of the subordinates accompanying him said: "We searched by the dock at that time, but we really couldn't find it at first." ”

"Later, it was an enthusiastic shipwn who saw that we were inquiring, and he took the initiative to come and ask us." "He asked where we wanted to go, and when he heard that we were going to cross a dangerous road, he told us directly."

The subordinate looked at the sky and said, "He said that there is a suitable boat at home, which is parked on the edge of the pier not far away. (To be continued.) )
