Chapter 20: Their Thoughts

The sun is thin, and the breath is dying.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the flowing river turned into bits of gold, and the sparkling water seemed to be coated with a golden coat.

The river flowed quietly, leisurely, through the village where the smoke of the cooking was rising, and occasionally a few patches of shadow were scattered, which darkened the golden coat, which was the upright figure of the pines and cypresses on the bank. The river easily cut through the shadows and came to a winding river. Plop, plop, plop, a few sounds sounded in succession, and a stone piece continued to flutter on the surface of the water, splashing with ripples, rippling water circles, and finally sank.

"Well, I've won again, Sister Mesa, do you see, I've hit seventeen of them this time!" Locke clapped his hands on the shore, cheering, admiring his masterpiece, the ripples that had not yet completely dissipated.

But she didn't hear Mesha's compliment this time, and turned her head to find that Mesha was staring blankly into the distance of the setting sun, which was also the direction of the canyon entrance.

"Hey, hey, Sister Mesa, listen to me!" Lockty ran up to Mesha and jumped unhappily. Meisha came back to her senses at this time, and in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Lockty, I got distracted, and you won again?"

Locke's face pouted, "Sister Mesa, you are obviously not here, and you have lost more than twenty times in a row, so I'm also very embarrassed." ”

Meisha looked at her face and smiled, "Okay, don't play with the kids, I'm just a little, well, a little ......"

"Are you a little worried about Brother Jiang Heng?" replied with Lockty tilting his head.

Meisha paused slightly, "And your grandfather, although they don't, there shouldn't be any danger, but they haven't come back yet, I'm a little worried." ”

"An, Anna," Luo Ti waved his hand, "Although there are many people missing in the clan, but every time grandpa has nothing to do, I believe this time is the same, not to mention that there is not Brother Jiang Heng with him." ”

"I hope so. Maisha put down her restless hands and looked into the distance again, the afterglow of the setting sun staining not only the gurgling water, but also the green foliage forest beside it, and the rustling of golden bushes......

"Ah, what is it!" Lockty screamed, and Messa quickly pulled her behind her, "Who!

Then Meisha thought for a moment, "If it's not a person, you don't have to come out." ”

As Lockty stared at Meisha with a strange expression, a man staggered out of the bushes.

After the two of them saw the comer, "Grandpa!" and "Patriarch Pubulin!" hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The two of them held Publin left and right, Meisha looked at it, the fabric of her sleeves was torn, she should have resisted some huge impact with her hands, and the clothes behind her back were also torn, revealing her red back, it should have been hit hard in the back, but she was urgently cured, and now it is fine. As for the other wounds on the body, it can be said that they are irrelevant.

"Patriarch Pubulin, what's going on?and, what about the young master?" Mesa hurriedly asked.

Looking at Mesha's anxious face, Publin lowered his head with difficulty with a look of shame, "I'm sorry, Mesha......" Before the words fell, the person had already fallen first......

It was late at night, and the stars were surrounded by a soft glow, spreading their own light unselfishly in this small village in the forest, and the lights of the village seemed to be opposite to the sparks in the sky, which seemed to be extraordinarily peaceful.

Silently, Mesa walked out of the Publin house, looking up at the stars in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, Lockty also walked out of the room.

"Is the patriarch already resting?" asked Mesa softly.

Lockty nodded, "Grandpa, he's already asleep." Meisha exhaled, feeling a little confused with her thoughts.

Not long after he was brought home, Pu Bulin woke up once, and told Meisa about the day's encounter, strange clues, strange human races, and even more strangely, when he woke up, the entrance to the canyon was sealed, and Jiang Heng didn't know what to do.

The young master may be in danger, this was Meisha's original idea.

At this moment, Meisha looked up at Hui in the sky again, as if she had made up her mind, "Locky, this matter must be reported, you take care of your grandfather, and I will go back to the Shire Town Security Office immediately." ”

Hearing Mesha's words, Lockty hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Mesha's hand, "No, Sister Mesa, it's already so late now, and you're alone, what if there is any danger along the way?" her tone was full of anxiety.

Hearing what Lockty said, Mesa showed a faint smile, gently pushed Locky's hand that was holding her down, and held her hands with her own, "Don't worry, Lockty, I'll be fine, and now the situation can be said to be extremely urgent, someone must send the news." ”

"Then, then I'll call a few of the more powerful people in the clan. Lockty thought.

Meisha closed her eyes and shook her head gently, "Let your people help guard your village, don't worry," Meisha suddenly opened her eyes, her crystal blue pupils became deeper, and the corners of her eyes seemed to glow with a little starlight, blue and strange. "I'm going to be fine, you're in charge of taking care of Patriarch Pubulin, okay?"

After saying that, Meisha slowly let go of her hand, and at this time, Lockty in front of her, I don't know why in my heart, I can't help but believe her words. As a result, the clenched hands slowly relaxed.

"Well, Sister Mesa, be sure to stay safe. ”

Maysa smiled and rubbed Lockty's little head, "Alright, you can go inside." ”

After watching Lockty walk into the house and close the door, the strange light in Mesha's eyes slowly faded, and the smile faded.

Looking up into the distance again, a gust of wind blew, rolling up the withered leaves in front of the house, flying all over the sky, and when the dust settled, there was no one in sight.

The village's forester guards didn't notice it, and Meisha reappeared, already on a forest path not far from the village gate.

Walking in a hurry, obviously in a hurry to get somewhere, Meisa's face was complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The next moment, another breeze blew, and Mesha suddenly stopped.

His face began to be solemn, and he stood up slightly, his head leaning forward slightly, as if listening to something.

"Miss Mesa, this is not the way back to Shire. Suddenly, a soft voice rang out.

"You should know that I'm going to find the young master. Messa's face turned cold.

"Don't worry, the young master is fine. The words were so light that it made it easy to wonder if they had heard them wrong.

"Although I know that with you here, the young master should be fine, but I," Mesha's hand pressed the heart of her chest, and her eyes became sharp, "I can't stand it, the young master is not in front of me, and he is alone in a situation that may lead to danger." ”

The words were silent for a moment, and then he continued, "Miss Maisha, it is difficult for your subordinates to understand your feelings, because in my opinion, there is nothing there that can threaten the existence of the young master. However, the subordinates currently believe that the news should be sent to the town of Charles first, which is what an ordinary sheriff's maid should do after receiving such news. ”

Meisha's eyes glared forward, as if she wanted to see through some of the beings in front of her, but she couldn't.

The evening breeze whined, and the leaves rustled in the woods, tugging at Mesa's heart, and she fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took before I made the next move, turned around and walked to another way, "Give me a good young master's safety, if you are a little careless, I don't want to say much about your fate." ”

The wind blew a little violently, and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the unknown being seemed to salute and send Mesha away, "Remember the mission." ”

......

At this time, Biyan City

Cassise sat down in the seat of his study, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples with his hands, and looked tired.

The document in front of me was divided into two large piles, left and right, and it was obvious that they should have been read and unread.

Adjutant Carson, who was standing beside him, looked at his commander like this, "Boss, it's so late today, why don't you rest first, and I'll do the rest for you." ”

Cassise shook his other hand, "Thanks, no need." He opened his eyes again, "Carson, but it's not that I can't trust you, it's just, alas. ”

He sat up straight again, "When the old man handed over this city to me again, he specifically told me that I must do everything myself. ”

At this time, his eyes looked out of the window again, today's Hui is also very bright, I don't know what the old man is doing now, but it must be more leisurely than himself.

"It is also thanks to the old man's advice that the current Biyan City can be so full of vitality. ”

With a slight sigh and an immediate thought, he turned to Carson beside him, "Is there any change in the city now, especially that old fellow." ”

Carson bent down, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "There is no change in the city, I have already made arrangements at various information entrances and exits, even the income of migratory birds has been recorded in detail, and I am sure that there is no news flowing out." ”

After seeing Cassise nod, he continued, "As for Gevaren, he's going to inspect the crematorium tomorrow on the grounds that the crematorium's equipment is aging. ”

Hearing this, Cassise sneered, "This old fox, it seems that he has already discovered that something is wrong, if it is just to check, why should he go in person." ”

Carson also agreed, "As things stand, he's seen right." ”

Cassise fell into thought, his hands clenched into fists, and the fingers of his right hand tapped the tips of his left fingers lightly, "And if I'm not mistaken, he's already preparing to escape, and this tour is most likely just a faΓ§ade." ”

"Do I need to make any arrangements then?" asked Carson.

"Not yet," Cassise raised his right hand, "If the news hasn't leaked out yet, the other side shouldn't know the news of Mo and them, and our side can also follow his line to find their base camp, and then we can work with Mo and them to completely exterminate them." ”

"Boss is wise, then I'll arrange a few spies to do a good job of reconnaissance within a radius of ten miles from the crematorium. ”

"Huh?" Cassise looked a little puzzled, "why did they have such a large area around the crematorium to reconnoitre?

"Boss, what do you think," Carson explained, "and he must have known that we were going to send someone to follow him, and if he followed him directly, I was afraid that he would prepare some kind of secret passage or something to get out quickly, and if he reconnoitred around the crematorium, he would be able to get the news as soon as he appeared." ”

"Hey, you're still thoughtful," Cassise laughed, "thanks to you being my lieutenant by my side, you can correct me when I make mistakes, otherwise I don't know what kind of mess I'm going to make." ”

"Boss, you're serious, it's not all learned from you before. Carson shrugged nonchalantly.

After laughing for a while, Cassise showed a guilty look, "Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for you, you could have entered the Royal Institute of Biological Research directly, but I brought you here." ”

"Boss, it's okay," Carson laughed, "It's been a dream of mine to get into the Royal Institute of Biological Research, but I'm also happy here, especially when I have something I love to do." ”

"Hmm, do you think it's fun to be my lieutenant?"

"Hmph, boss, guess what?" "Haha, okay, you, dare to tease me." "Well, no, I don't have the guts to tease you. ”......

In the laughter of the two, the night market outside the window also began to slowly prosper, it was also a laughter, whether it was the nobles in the mansion or the commoners in the market, they all had their own laughter, it was really a peaceful scene.

But now, Jiang Heng is not peaceful here at all, "Damn, I should have left those two guys to show me the way, where did I go now?"

Looking at a fork in the road in front of him, Jiang Heng fell into deep contemplation.
