Chapter Ninety-Eight: Camp in the Mountains

When Situ Jin said this, Gao Wen couldn't help but blush, and then changed the topic and said: "The brothers have been drenched in rain for a day, and it has been delayed for a while just now, I'm afraid everyone's stomachs are already rumbling with hunger, I'll go first to see what there is to eat." Raising his hand and pointing to the hotel, without waiting for Situ Jin to speak again, Gao Wen walked into the small hotel quickly.

Looking at Gao Wen's back, Situ Jin couldn't help but show a funny expression.

Although this small inn is not a big place, because it is located at the foot of the mountain, it is not easy to communicate with the outside world, so the innkeeper will collect a large amount of supplies every time he goes out to buy, including a considerable part of the food, although Mrs. Lee Kerst and his dozens of guards arrived early and ate a lot of food, but the rest of the food is enough for the [13th Battalion] to enjoy.

Because the place in the hotel is not large, everyone set up a big tent at the entrance of the hotel, except for Situ Jin, Gao Wen and the captains of each team, the rest of the [13th Battalion] are eating in the big tent, because Gu Nian has to go in a hurry the next day, everyone has not drunk much, so they quickly finished eating and resting.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, because the light rain had not stopped, it was not very early at dawn, and the people of the [13th Battalion] quickly put away the marching camp tents and other items under the command of the captains of each team, and by the time Situ Jin showed up, the whole team could already set off.

Situ Jin tidied up the rainproof clothing he was wearing outside his military uniform, and then jumped on the horse that the people of the [13th Battalion] had brought for him.

"It's raining, it's not going to end!" said Gawain, who also jumped on his horse and grumbled.

Situ Jin smiled: "Marching in the rain is also interesting. ”

Gao Wen looked at Situ Jin with a disapproving expression: "I said Young Master Situ, your taste is really unique enough, I hope you can still say this after you go up the mountain!"

Situ Jin shook his head with a smile, and was about to speak, but saw the small door of the hotel being opened, and then Alva walked out of it, as soon as he got outside, Alva immediately propped up the rainproof cloth in his hand, and the next moment, a slender figure walked out after him, this person was Mrs. Lee Kerst, she quickly walked under the rainproof cloth that Alva held up for her, and then under Alva's guidance, she boarded the luxurious carriage that had been parked at the door of the hotel.

"In this way, it looks like they are going to cross this 'little peak' too!" said Gawain, tilting his head sideways, as he watched Mrs. Lee Kerst board the carriage.

Situ Jin's eyes were also fixed on the luxurious carriage, but he did not speak.

"Where's this Mrs. Lee Kerster, you say?" said Gawain, gossipily.

"It doesn't matter where she goes!" Situ Jin said lightly: "What, is it possible that you still want to escort along the way?"

"What are you talking about!" Like a fox that had been stepped on by its tail, Gawain immediately turned his head and stopped looking at Lee Kerst and his party.

In the past few days, Gao Wen and Situ Jin have become more and more familiar, and even talking to the two of them has become more and more casual. However, since he got acquainted with Gao Wen, Situ Jin also discovered one thing, that is, Gao Wen is far from being as arrogant and cold as he seems on the outside, on the contrary, this tall man is still a very interesting person most of the time.

For example, now, in fact, Situ Jin just opened his mouth to tease Gao Wen, and he never thought that Gao Wen would take it seriously. Watching the light rain up close all the way, and teasing Gao Wen by the way, Situ Jin suddenly felt that this journey was really interesting!

The two of them took the lead in front, and the [13th Battalion] team slowly followed behind the two, and in less than half a day, the group arrived at the foot of Xiaofeng Mountain.

Although Xiaofeng Mountain belongs to the "Rocky Mountains", I am afraid that many unknown mountains on the mainland are much higher than this mountain, and if the weather is not too bad, it is really not difficult to cross such a low mountain. Although the mountains are cluttered with trees and there are no ready-made roads to follow, it is normal to cross the mountain for a little more than a day at most.

But now, the difficulty of crossing this low mountain has increased greatly due to the continuous rain.

The first part of the gentle slope was fine, but after walking for a while, Situ Jin and Gao Wen had to dismount and hand over the horses to the people behind to lead. The soil on the mountain was slippery and soft because of the rain, and everyone was one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the speed could not be as fast as they wanted. After walking for a while, it took less than 100 meters to travel.

Gawain glanced back and found that Mrs. Lee Kerst and her party were not far behind [13th Battalion], and just wanted to tell Situ Jin that what he expected was true, he turned his face to meet Situ Jin's playful look, and Gawain quickly swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Situ Jin smiled, and didn't say anything, but said: "Gao Wen, we definitely have to stay on this "Xiaofeng Mountain" tonight, while it is not yet dark, let everyone pay attention to it, see where it is suitable to camp, and we can prepare in advance." ”

Gawain nodded, then deliberately slowed down and made arrangements with the people behind him.

Two hours later, the rain on the mountain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain hit everyone's faces mercilessly, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes. Fortunately, at this time, the people of the [13th Battalion] had already found a relatively flat place, there was no high ground around, and the soil was quite hard, so it was already rare to find such a place at this time.

Gao Wen had already stepped forward from behind, he brushed the wet hair on his forehead with his hand, and said loudly to Situ Jin: "This ghost god! If we knew that this weather was like this today, we should have stayed at the bottom of the mountain for another day." ”

Situ Jin also stretched out his hand to brush his hair, and replied: "It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I knew it earlier!"

Gao Wen shook his head, with a worried look, no wonder Gao Wen was so worried, this kind of weather is not too safe to camp anywhere on the mountain, if this rain only lasts for a while, it will be fine, if it continues to fall like this, everyone's situation is really dangerous, although this mountain is not too high, but after all, it is also a mountain, careless.

It was getting dark, and the people of [13 Battalion] began to camp under Marven's organization, and the rain washed everyone's faces over and over again, and even made everyone's movements a lot slower, just when the camp tent was about to be set up, there was a sudden sound behind everyone, Situ Jin and Gao Wen turned their heads, and through the dense rain line, the two vaguely saw a figure shaking back and forth.

"Looks like they're planning to camp here, too!" Situ Jin began.

Gawain nodded, and there was no longer a joking look on his face: "It's not strange, this place can still camp near here!"

"Let's go! it's raining so hard, let's go back to the tent too!" said Situ Jin, and walked towards the largest tent first.

Gawain followed behind and sighed, "Hey, I can only gnaw on dry food tonight!"
