Chapter 204: Because of You

I prepared a dozen improvised traps around the camp, and when I was preparing the last one, the mysterious looking female bodyguard next to Catherine couldn't help but smile coldly when she saw it.

However, she didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked towards Mu Yifeng and Catherine, who were preparing dinner, her duty was to protect Catherine, and the rest was ignored.

When I left the village, there were four people in my backpack for about a week's worth of food, including protein powder, compressed biscuits, dried fruits, and some dietary fiber supplements.

Although I was curious and confused about the purpose of this mission, I still didn't ask, and I could only do my best to protect Her Royal Highness the princess from a foreign land, just like Mu Yifeng.

During the meal, I deliberately sat next to Mu Yifeng and asked him, "Hey, Lao Mu, why did you send you over this time?" It's a typical chore. ”

Mu Yifeng looked at me and said with a smile, "Because of you." ”

"Me? Does this have something to do with me? ”

"The princess asks you to escort you all the way, and if the organization is not at ease, you must send someone to follow. A few days ago, you annihilated Li Bingchen, and there was a great quarrel within Truman about it. ”

"And then?"

Actually, I also think it's quite strange, it stands to reason that Li Bingchen is the sister-in-law of the Li family in Chang'an, I made him devastated, and it stands to reason that the Li family in Chang'an will definitely trouble me, but in the past few days, they haven't even let out a fart.

"Then the Elders of the Inner Sect of Truman talked to me and asked what happened."

"Inner door?"

Mu Yifeng looked at me and asked, "Don't you know that Trumen has an inner and outer door?" ”

I shook my head.

He smiled wryly and said, "It seems that you don't know much about us Truman." Truman was divided into internal and external doors as early as the beginning of its founding, so I can't say more about the specifics. I met with the elders of the inner gate and told them about the process, and when they heard that you were glaring at Li Bingchen with your eyes, the Chang'an Li clan, who had been clamoring for you to destroy the door, also shut up. ”

Catherine also smiled and said, "I also said this, Senluo Eye is the highest pupil technique that exists in the legend, speaking of which, I also want to see it." ”

I shrugged, "Sorry, Senro's eyes can only be used in certain situations. ”

"Why?" Catherine asked.

"It's hard to disobey the teacher's order." I used the unscrupulous master as a shield, and then asked Mu Yifeng, "What happened later?" ”

"It's over, after all, this matter is Li Bingchen's evil, if he succeeds, even if his strength improves, the people of the Truman Law Enforcement Team will not let him go after they know about it." Mu Yifeng said to me again, "In addition, the Elders of the Inner Gate of Trumen issued a notice to all Trumen disciples, and everyone must not have conflicts with Rashomon in the future, and violators will be expelled from Trumen. ”

I couldn't help but grin when I heard this.

For two days, the four of us were sneaking deep in the mountains.

If it weren't for the winding path beneath our feet, and the occasional traces of a campfire burning along the way, Mu Yifeng and I would have thought we were lost.

That night, the four of them camped in the open space next to the path, as before.

In this place, there is a trace of a bonfire, and the trees next to it are relatively sparse, so you can see through it at a glance.

At night, I sat alone on a stake by the campfire, staring intently at the leaping flames in front of me.

"What are you thinking?"

Catherine stepped out of the tent and sat beside me with a smile on her face.

"It's nothing, it's just idle and boring, and I can't sleep, just sit and pass the time."

Looking at me, Catherine smiled naturally: "Along the way, I found that you have a lot of concerns." ”

I obviously didn't want to get into my so-called "heart", but I was just having a headache about how to deal with the next trip to India, because I was running out of time.

I shook my head with a smile, and immediately changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I still want to know why you appeared with Lao Bai before, and you also followed Lao Bai to intervene in the dispute. ”

"If you're bored, you have to have some fun doing it. And you can also see the scene of the Huaxia special police and the international mercenary war, don't you think it's interesting? Catherine smiled and said, "Besides, the pupil technique you used that day wasn't Senluo's eye, right?" ”

"Well, that's my unique pupil technique."

After three days of getting along, I found that Catherine spoke and acted very simply, and it was so straightforward that it seemed a little unbelievable, and the things that normal people care about and care about are like a weed growing everywhere on the side of the road in front of her eyes, which is not worth mentioning.

I looked at Catherine and asked, "May I ask you a question?" ”

"Of course."

"What is the person or thing you care about the most in this world?"

Catherine spat out two words without thinking: "No." ”

"No?"

"Yes, no." Catherine smiled naturally.

"Your parents and brothers, your status, your country's people, you don't care about these?"

"Those are just the colors on the mask, and once you change the mask, you have to redraw it."

I didn't understand what Catherine was saying, and I was still wondering if there was a problem with the communication between the two of us, when my body seemed to touch some kind of fluctuation, and I suddenly turned my head and looked into the depths of the woods in the distance.

Seeing that I slowly got up, took two steps forward, and stared straight ahead with burning eyes, Catherine asked, "What do you see?" ”

"A wild dog, or a wolf."

"Wild dogs, wolves?"

"Well, it's gone, though." I looked around a few more times.

At this time, Mu Yifeng also walked out of the tent, he naturally heard the conversation between me and Catherine, and asked in a deep voice: "Martial Sect Master, are you sure it's a wolf?" ”

"I'm not 100% sure, it quickly disappeared from my sight. I just saw a rough outline, it wasn't big in size, and the likelihood of a wild dog was high. I looked at Mu Yifeng, "Besides, didn't the princess say that it was already very close to the destination, and if there was a village nearby, the probability of wild dogs was still very high." ”

"Well, that's right."

"But, just to be on the safe side, the two of us will take turns on duty tonight."

"Okay."

The night was peaceful.

As the sky dawned, the four of us continued on our way, and as the sun rose in the east, we finally saw the farmland.

And that farmland turned out to be on the cliff face!

At this time, the rolling hills that appeared in front of me, and on the top of the hills, some of the slightly flater places, there were always a few houses covered.

After a few glances back and forth, I found that there were more than 100 households here!

Turning to Catherine, "How did you find it?" ”

Catherine smiled mysteriously, and was prevaricated by her with the sentence "I have always been supernatural".

Some of these families live in distant mountain cols, while others are on the top of the mountains, with ups and downs, and with the farmland, they have their own characteristics.

The people of the village obviously did not know that Catherine and the four were coming, or a man who was digging in the field squinted his eyes and looked carefully at us as we walked, and then at the sound of his shouts, a large crowd of people rushed over.

The people in the mountains are very straightforward, and they don't have so many hearts, which I have experienced the most.

A large crowd entered the village in high spirits, and then sat on the flat ground in front of the village chief's house.

Listening to a group of children singing a nice but unintelligible song around Catherine, I couldn't help but laugh softly: "Although I don't understand this ballad, it sounds very good, who taught you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere cooled down at once, and everyone hung their heads silently, and some children even sobbed softly.

Catherine hugged a girl to comfort her, and at the same time said to the village chief, "Village chief, why didn't I see the lilacs?" ”

After graduating from university, she and her four friends came to this remote mountain village to educate the children here with their youth and enthusiasm.

Later, the other four left one after another, leaving Lilac alone.

It was when Catherine heard about Lilac's deeds that she led the team in, and personally donated a school, which was built on the hill behind the village chief's house, and the children of the village walked, a minute or two away; Far away, it is ten minutes at most.

As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent, and there was a very strange atmosphere in this silence.
