The second team finally arrived at the camping site before the sun set.
The camp was chosen next to a big rock on the mountain ridge. There were not so dense trees here, and there was a very flat stone platform. Surdak thought he could rest here tonight.
There are still embers from the last campfire on the stone platform. This place has higher terrain and is very suitable for setting up tents.
The reason why the team left in such a hurry was that Suldak had his own plan.
He was worried that the evil spirits in the mountains would catch up with them along the way. With the current strength of the second team, they would have no choice but to escape if they encountered evil spirits.
Surdak couldn't figure out why the evil ghosts in the mountains were missing a layer of skin. They looked really scary, but their strength was weaker than the cannon fodder in the evil ghost army.
He sometimes discusses these matters with He Boqiang, but He Boqiang mostly just listens quietly and rarely expresses his own opinions. He Boqiang feels that the communication with gestures is too troublesome.
The soldiers of the second team quickly built the tent using the wood left over from last time.
Surdak raised his head and glanced at the sky.
The evening sky was filled with clouds like fish scales, and under the reflection of the setting sun, half of the sky was fiery red.
Surdak stood there and said: "It's going to rain. Make the bed in the tent higher..."
…
A drop of water fell from the roof of the tent and landed on He Boqiang's face. He suddenly woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw darkness in front of him.
Lying in the tent, listening to the patter of raindrops falling on the canvas, the rainy night in the wild was very difficult, everything was wet and cold, so I could only wrap my body in a sleeping bag and chopped some logs before going to bed.
He raised the mattress with branches and raised the mattress. It started to rain in the middle of the night. Although the rainwater flowed into the tent, it did not flood He Boqiang's bed.
Mixed with the chaotic sound of rain is the sound of light footsteps, which is full of rhythm even if it is trampled in the rain.
He Boqiang also sat up suddenly. He got out of his sleeping bag, picked up his Roman sword and got out of the tent.
It was still raining outside, and the cold rain fell on his face and body, immediately making him shiver, and he woke up completely.
‘Papa pa pa’
It was very dark outside. He Boqiang stepped on the water on the ground and followed the sound one step at a time.
Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark rainy night, He Boqiang felt that there was a person standing in the big tree. When he got closer, he discovered that there was an indigenous girl with green eyes standing there. She was only surrounded by a piece of animal skin.
, was soaked by the rain like a drowned rat, and her long curly hair was wet and stuck to her face.
When she found He Boqiang, He Boqiang was only two steps away from her. She was so frightened that she took a step back. Behind her was a big tree. Her slender back was directly pressed against the trunk of the tree. Her big bright eyes were like ink in the night.
Green gemstone.
At this time, He Boqiang finally saw her face clearly. Her face looked a little green and her skin was a little gray. From the perspective of He Boqiang's aesthetics, she was definitely not beautiful.
In front of He Boqiang, she was like a frightened deer, trying to escape from the side, but He Boqiang grabbed her slender wrist.
The indigenous girl was eager to break away. She took out a dagger from nowhere and hesitated whether to stab her.
When He Boqiang saw this, he was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and the indigenous girl quickly ran outside the camp.
He Boqiang followed closely, but it was too dark in the forest on a rainy night. Even after running for more than ten meters, he could no longer find the trace of the indigenous girl, and finally had to stop in the rain.
He Boqiang didn't understand what the indigenous girl wanted to do by following the team again and again, but it seemed that the indigenous girl had no ill intentions.
…
It rained all night.
Finally, it stopped at dawn, and the entire woodland took on a new look after being washed by the rain.
Bean-sized water droplets continued to fall from the tree crowns in the dense forest. There was stagnant water everywhere in the forest. He Boqiang got out of the damp tent, stood at the door of the tent and stretched.
The red sock who was following behind squeezed out from beside him, looked at the forest filled with water vapor, and said with a look of astonishment: "It rained very hard last night."
At this time, Red Socks found an animal skin soaking in the puddle in front of the tent. He walked over in surprise, picked up the animal skin from the puddle, and said: "Why is there such an animal skin? Uh,
There are also some words written on it..."
Red Socks came back with the animal skin, handed it to He Boqiang, which was soaked by the rain, and asked with some embarrassment: "What is written on it?"
"...Is this a letter?" Red Stocking asked tentatively.
He Boqiang took the animal skin and realized that Red Sock could not read. It was clearly written in very standard Green Empire language. The person who wrote these words must be a well-educated noble. His handwriting had a special
The style of writing always tries to make all letters written as smoothly as possible.
Although He Boqiang is currently unable to master the pronunciation of the Imperial language, through the memory fragments of the original owner, he is no stranger to the Imperial script.
This animal skin was actually written in charcoal:
'If you see this letter and you are willing to believe it, then please trust the indigenous girl standing beside you, her name is Alma Yado, she can bring you to me, I need your help.
The 7th Constructed Swordsman Regiment of the Osorno Legion in the Province of Bena, Swordsman Baikal Gielgud’
There are so many words written on the entire animal skin.
After seeing these handwritings, He Boqiang realized that this was a letter asking for help, and that the swordsman must have been unable to escape because of something, so he asked an indigenous girl to come out to deliver the letter.
Okay! This doesn't seem to make sense anyway.
When did the Imperial warriors have such a harmonious relationship with the natives of Handanar County?
He Boqiang's first reaction was that the letter was a bait.
But who actually helped the indigenous people write such a letter?
These questions kept appearing in He Boqiang's mind, and then his eyes fell on the final signature: Baikal Swordsman.
He Boqiang immediately thought that this time the second team was ordered to perform a mission, wasn't it to find an Imperial swordsman who entered Mount Gandaer alone?
He turned around and got into the tent, pushing Surdak awake who was still sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag.
Suldak looked at He Boqiang sleepily and asked him: "What's wrong?"
He Boqiang unfolded the wet animal skin in front of him. Fortunately, although Suldak had a little trouble reading, he still knew the words. He stumbled for a long time before he finally finished writing this line on the animal skin.
After understanding the general meaning of the text, he finally saw the word "Baicalie Swordsman" and sat up in his sleeping bag.
"Where did you find this animal skin?" Surdak asked with a frown.
"It's in the puddle at the door." Red Sock put his head into the tent and said to Suldak.
"Inside the puddle?" Suldak pinched the wet animal skin with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yes, captain! I got out of the tent in the morning and was about to cook porridge according to your instructions. I happened to see it soaking in a puddle, so I walked over and picked it up, but I didn't recognize the words on it.
…”
"Okay, I understand! Is that indigenous girl outside? Wait for me a moment. I'll go out to see her!"
"Wait a minute, Captain, what about an indigenous girl? You didn't think I picked up an indigenous girl, right? I can swear to you, I didn't even see a single hair of the indigenous girl!" Red Stockings said bitterly.
A face, swearing to Surdak.
Before Red Sock finished speaking, there happened to be a long gray hair hanging in the palm of the hand that swore.
There is no soldier with long hair in the entire second team.
"..."
Red Sock looked at the palm of her hand with tears in her eyes.
At this time, it happened that the other soldiers in the tent were not awakened by him, and everyone's eyes were focused on the hand he raised...
