Chapter 185: The Country Woman
Roland and Olager jumped out of the airship before it hit the ground and pursued the enemy.
In the midst of the chaos, Jean saw a figure, a figure that did not belong to her, it was a white figure in cotton clothes.
He stood between two tall trees, leaning on his trunks, as if looking at the situation, his face blurred by the distance, and the moment Jean saw him, he turned and walked into the depths of the jungle.
Where he was, the trees obscured most people's view, and only Jean could see him.
As if an obvious trap.
Jean hesitated for a moment and decided to pursue.
She chased the looming white figure deep into the forest.
The other party may have discovered her stalking, and always kept a short distance from her. The forest was filled with white water vapor, and the field of vision was not wide, and finally after passing a dense bush, the other party completely disappeared from Qin's sight.
"Damn! let him escape. ”
I heard the sound of water in my ears and there was a river nearby.
Jean followed the sound of the water and walked towards the river.
Pushing aside a bush, a small babbling river appeared in front of me.
The water was clear and cold, and Jean washed the sap from the jungle bushes on her hands, which she inevitably got on her hands when she walked through the jungle quickly.
When he looked up again, he suddenly found a woman in coarse cloth clothes on the other side of the river, standing by the river and looking at her.
The woman was dressed plainly, with a white cotton jacket, cotton trousers, and cloth shoes on her feet, and she looked like an ordinary village woman, as if she was a resident of a nearby village, but her temperament gave people a feeling of neither humility nor arrogance. Standing in the white mist, calm and indifferent, as if not eating the fireworks of the world.
She held a wet handkerchief in her hand, apparently washed in the stream just now.
Her clothes were gray and white cotton clothes, and Jean couldn't be sure if it was her who was following her all the way, but her indifferent look made Jean very hesitant. She was just about to ask, but the other party opened her mouth first:
"Are you...... Foreigners?"
The woman asked with a smile, a little surprised in her tone.
Her reaction was unsuspicious, and she didn't look like an attacker.
"Yes, you're from a nearby village?" Jean replied in Oriental.
She didn't know the language when she first fell into the land, but she stopped by the library when she went to the Jerusalem Bank, and most of the world's languages were no longer a problem for Nianshi as long as there was a Jerusalem library.
"Hmm," the other party nodded, showing an expression of approval and slight surprise, "You speak Oriental so well." ”
"Thanks, then...... May I ask how to get to Dongxiang Village?" Jean found an excuse and continued to talk to her.
The woman took the edge of her trousers and carefully walked along the stream to the downstream near Qin: "Why did you go to Dongxiang Village?"
Jean also took a few steps upstream, and the two stood opposite each other across the stream.
"I have a friend who needs my help. ”
"Is it someone who is important to you?"
“...... Just friends. Jean hesitated for a moment.
The woman smiled, "How are you going to help him, kill all his enemies?"
Qin frowned: "Why do you ask that?"
"Are you going to turn this place upside down like the foreigners who came to this country many years ago?" the woman still smiled, "and there is a reason why foreigners have always been unwelcoming in this country. ”
"What do you know?"
Jean took a small step forward, approaching the stream.
"I advise you not to move on, there is only mud in front of you. ”
Jean glanced down at her feet, the mud by the river was soft and slippery, and she could already feel her feet slowly sinking. The other party's words are puns and full of deep meaning.
The woman looked at the stream and said quietly, "The situation in our country is very complicated, and it is not for you outsiders to understand, nor for you to inquire about. Go back, your friends will be fine, some things are not as you think. ”
The woman turned slowly and walked into the woods.
"Wait, who the hell are you?"
"I ...... It's just a village girl who has never seen the world. The woman laughed to herself.
The white mist rolled behind her, making her figure even more fleeting, and at that moment, it reminded Qin of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in a temple filled with cigarette smoke.
Kevin lifted his hiding and appeared behind Qin: "Miss, do you want to catch her and interrogate her carefully?"
Jean's pursuit is not reckless, and his tacit understanding with his retainers sometimes does not require words, and Kevin has been following from afar, protecting Jean and waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on the other side, which is a trap to lure the snake out of the hole.
But hearing Kevin's question, Qin, who looked at the other party's departure, shook his head with a frown:
"We ...... It may not be her opponent. ”
When Jean and Kevin return to the site where the airship crashed, everyone has already returned.
Everyone gathered around Lesoan Molde's body to examine the cause of his death.
But the snow marks were gone.
He went alone, and when he was leaving, he asked the knight of the Molde family to bring a message to Qin, that his mother might still be in danger, and that he had to go back to Dongxiang Village first.
Jean understood his concerns, and it was in a good situation, the Snow Country higher-ups had ordered that his mother was safe, but this attack showed that there might be an unknown threat, and he would inevitably be nervous and anxious, and make the decision to act alone.
But will he be able to avoid the enemy? Jean was deeply worried in her heart. Although she was worried, she didn't show it in front of her retainers and servants.
Roland and Olager did not find the attacker, and Orager's sense was able to cover a 30-meter radius, but there was still nothing found, indicating that the other party had retreated.
The officers and soldiers accompanying the Snow Country garrison were at a loss, saying that they had no idea about it. Moreover, this level of attack was far beyond the comprehension of ordinary soldiers.
Jean also told the story of the mysterious village woman encountered by the river, and after analysis, it was determined that the village woman was not the attacker, her aura did not match the attacker, and the direction of her appearance was completely different. But there may be a thousand links with the attackers.
"It wasn't a bullet that hit him, it was a bullet, and Lai Soan was killed by a single blow from an able person, and the attacker was at least fifty meters away from him. Very powerful 'San' is a professional sniper. Roland examined Lesoan's body.
"Why did they attack us, why did they only destroy the airship and not engage us head-on?" Kevin asked.
"I think it's just a warning that they don't want us to go deeper. Roland said, looking at the wreckage of the airship.
"The woman I met by the river had the same purpose, her telekinesis was equally unfathomable, and I felt from her a powerful aura that only an A-class nagile could have, it was not a nurturing pressure, but a faint sense of danger. Jean said with a frown.
Thinking of the encounter with the woman, I still felt palpitations, it was a strong sense of danger, especially when she said the last few words, Qin, as an ordinary person, almost wanted to escape.
"It seems that we have a strong enemy here. Roland said in a deep voice.
"What's next?" everyone looked at Jean.
Qin's brows furrowed even tighter, now there is no guide, there is no way to go to Dongxiang Village, and the unknown threat is also on his back, should he camp on the spot and repair?
Jean was hesitating, when suddenly Orajer issued an early warning: "Someone in the woods is coming towards us. ”
In the direction of his finger, there was a rustling sound from the bushes.
"Who is it?" everyone was on alert.
The bushes swayed.
Xiao Qiang was covered in blood and came out of the bushes with a person on his back.
"Where's the snow scar! Snowscar! Oh no, there's something big going on in the village!"
