Chapter 304: The Wizard of the Wilderness
In May, the expedition had gone northeast out of the Sea of Japan, into the Sea of Okhotsk, and bound for the Bering Sea, and there was no more information about the expedition on the radio.
Habitually flipping through the radio records, Cai Rong was disappointed and walked out of the empty and reflective radio station with an umbrella and into the street outside.
The county seat of Hong'an has been built in recent years. There are also trees planted along the roads of the county, which are almost the same as Chaolin, and some trees are transplanted directly from outside the city, so they can provide some shade on sunny days.
There are many women in Hong'an County, and generally women will wear straw hats under the scorching sun, and naturally only one of them will pick an umbrella.
Walking through the sparse crowd along the shade of the trees, Cai Fu returned to his house, put down his umbrella and some belongings, and began to clean his pen according to his schedule.
The fountain pen was sent together with Lin Ji when he delivered letters every month. This is naturally something from the kingdom of God. In the letter, Lin Ji simply said that the fountain pen should be cleaned regularly to avoid blockage, so she arranged a schedule to clean it once a month.
This kind of pen is naturally much easier to use than a quill or brush, and it is also more durable than Lin Ji's favorite signature pen. Because the signature pen can only be thrown away when there is no ink, even if you add ink yourself, it may not be written.
Such a useful thing can't be made in Chaolin City, and I don't know what so many research institutes and researchers in Chaolin City do. But anything that is easy to use, Chaolin City has no way to make it. Those people are really useless.
After carefully cleaning the pen, wiping it dry, picking the mushroom to suck the ink back into the pen, habitually spreading out a yellowed piece of bark paper, and then she sighed that she could not write a word.
Ever since that one went to Orca Whale, the monthly correspondence between the two has been cut off. In the past, she used to record some things in small pieces, and then send them to Chao Lin Cheng, but now she has written a thick stack, because she has not sent them anymore, and she has lost interest in writing.
And now, a few days after the expedition led by Stone Beak left the killer whales, he also ran away. It should be said that he ran away again.
- Yes, the forest trail ran again.
It is said that he was asked for things by the Zhu Monkey and avoided it too hard. But when you think about it, you know it's impossible. With the relationship between that person and Zhu Monkey, it must be what Zhu Monkey wants to give. At most, give less. Zhu Monkey is not the kind of person who is unrestrained, and it is absolutely impossible to force him to such a part.
Judging from Cai Fu's perception of him, it is purely that he doesn't want to pay attention to the complexity of the world and runs away to the wild to be a wild man. As some books say, he just wants to go out and hide from the quiet.
Of course, like everyone else's fears, Cai Fu was also afraid that he would chase the fleet on an expedition. Zhu Monkey once said that the equipment on those ships was complete, and he himself wanted to follow, and that one was very likely to be so willful.
It's just that the radio stations in several parts of the kingdom have been in constant contact with the fleet, and the fleet has not confided any information about this. Until they left the Sea of Japan and went out of the communication range, they didn't talk about it. Judging from this, he should not have chased the fleet.
From another point of view, if he followed the ship himself, he wouldn't have to get those things out and put them on the ship in advance. You know, the things in his box won't break, and it's redundant to get it out.
So, he ran away. But where did he go? Did you go to the steppe again or divert to the south, and go to some ignorant wilderness? Picking the pen in her hand, she fell into deep thought.
"County magistrate, Captain Tiger Claw is here." Little Cuitong preached.
"I was looking for him." Cai Rong came back to his senses, buckled the pen into the cap, tidied up his clothes slightly, and went out.
As a resident military attaché, Tiger Claw lived a very nourishing life in Hong'an County. In many cases, the county magistrate had to give him three points of courtesy—this was also because Tiger Paw had the "right to communicate" with Cai Fur — so that Tiger Paw had already married five young and beautiful wives in Hong'an County.
Tiger claws are relied on, and they have always been more casual about picking mushrooms. But on this day, he was quite neatly dressed in the May weather. He wore a suit with leather armor and armor, and he was armed with a bow and sword. This body makes people feel hot when they look at it.
It's just a few years of affluent life, so that Tiger Claw inevitably has a big belly. If his stomach could be retracted, he might still have the appearance of a brave man.
Tiger Claw grinned and said, "County magistrate, I have something important to look for you." ”
Cai Rong glanced at his fat belly dissatisfied, and said playfully, "I also happen to have something to look for you." ”
The tiger claw shrank its stomach when it was looked at by the mushroom, and its momentum weakened a little. This has an unparalleled reputation in Hong'an County, even if he is a resident military attache at the same level, he still holds this "right to communicate", but Tiger Claw does not dare to be big in front of her.
Although this person left Chaolin and came here, Tiger Claw clearly knew how this person's status in that person's heart was rising. Not to mention anything else, the treasures he handles sent every month can tell the whole story.
This person has been in charge in the past few years, and his temperament has become more and more calm and generous. Although she has stepped into the ranks of old girls at an old age, she has become more and more beautiful in the past few years. Every time I see her, Tiger Claw doesn't dare to look at her directly, and can only maintain his coarse nerves and pretend to be crazy and stupid to keep himself from being ugly.
Tigerclaw grinned: "You have something you say first." ”
Cai Rong said: "Let me ask you, in the radio record, you have been using communication for the past few days, but there is no content record on it, no channel record, who are you talking to?" What was said? Why can't even administrators sit in on the audit? Don't prevaricate me with the level of secrecy. Here my level is not lower than yours, and what you are qualified to know, I am also qualified to know. Even if it's a secret of the Military Academy, I should have received a note, but what about a note now? ”
Tiger Claw's face became a little strange, and he said: "This matter, this matter has nothing to do with the Military Yuan, so there is no note." ”
Cai Rong looked directly at him and said, "What does that have to do with it?" Could it be that he has something to do with me and deliberately avoided me? ”
Tiger Claw said a little messily: "It does have something to do with you, but I can't say." But this, this thing......"
Cai Rong sighed and said, "Is it Chaolin's side to take advantage of the king's absence, what are you going to do to me?" It's okay, you just say it. Either way, I'm not going to be fine. You should know me about this. ”
Tiger Claw saw Cai Fu's breath come out, and suddenly understood a word called Breath Rulan, and was almost stunned. Hearing Cai Fu's guess, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, there is no such thing." ”
This person is pitiful, but Tiger Claw can't forget that when she first arrived here, she dared to argue with Chaolin City with 5,000 women and children. If these words are spread out, or the other party is slightly dissatisfied, God knows if Hong'an County will be turned upside down.
"Then you say, what are you dressed like this for today?" Mushroom picker twisted the conversation back.
Tigerclaw's heart jumped, and he realized that he had fallen into the other party's trap. However, he quickly adjusted his thinking and said: "I want to ask the county magistrate to go out of the city with me today, and when I go out of the city, what you just asked will naturally be understood." ”
"Good. You wait for me. Cai Fu left a few words, took some of his belongings, and followed Tiger Paw out of the door under the escort of several of his own guards.
The group went out of the city and boarded a sailboat outside the city. Tiger Claw didn't say the purpose, and she didn't ask, she just sat firmly in the cabin and watched the wind and waves of Hong'an Lake.
At this time, there is a west wind blowing, and the sailboat rises to full sail, the speed is as fast as a galloping horse, riding the wind and waves, and it arrives at the east shore of Hong'an Lake before sunset.
The eastern part of Hong'an Lake is inaccessible and has once again become a paradise for wild beasts. Before you could reach the shore, you could see huge eagles circling on the shore, and the low roar of fierce beasts could be heard in the forest on the shore.
Tigerpaw found a place on the shore to stop the boat, and only Cai Fu was allowed to get off the boat alone. The furry guards tried to disembark with them, but after Tiger Paw quietly told them, they saw that the mushrooms had no intention of getting off the boat.
When the sailboat left the shore, the sun was gloomy, and Cai Rong stood alone in the grass on the shore, alone between heaven and earth, as if abandoned by the world.
She also immediately understood that if Chao Lin Cheng had any arrangements for her, this would undoubtedly be the best way to deal with it. As long as she is thrown into the wild, no matter how she can call the wind and rain in Hong'an County, no matter how she wins the hearts of the people among the deer people, she will not be able to stir up any wind and waves.
She wanted to shout back to the sailboat, but thought that if this was Chao Lin Cheng's arrangement, it would be useless for her to shout, so she didn't shout, and quietly looked around to see what would be waiting for her.
She didn't have to wait long, she waited for the results she was waiting for. As soon as the sailboat behind her was far away, a wild beast rushed out of the forest on the shore and barked its teeth at her.
Cai Rong recognized it at a glance, it was an old wolf who had been injured.
Such an old wolf is the most ferocious and stoic, because it has to use these to make up for its physical shortcomings in order to survive. Judging by the wolf's appearance, it's clear that he's been doing well lately. This means that the wolf's hunting ability has not decreased.
In contrast, it has been ten years since the mushrooms have survived alone in the wild. Now she doesn't even have a knife on her.
Her heart began to sink and her body squatted slightly, as her hands gripped the belt around her waist. She had a brass buckle from Chaolin City on her belt, or maybe it wasn't heavy enough, but it was the only thing on her body that could be used as a weapon.
She may die here, but she won't accept her fate.
"Little fairy, it's getting dark, why are you alone in this wilderness? Are you waiting to date a young student? ”
Just as Cai Fu was desperate and ready to fight desperately, a hoarse and low voice came from the forest, followed by a savage-like man who turned from behind a large tree, leaned against the trunk and looked at Cai Fu and smiled.
Seeing that hateful face, Cai Rong smiled and cried.
