Chapter 249 I'm Different
"Is City Lord Su okay? The carriage just hit a rock by accident. The road is like this on a snowy day. You can't see what's under the snow."
Su Ying didn't listen to Zhang Nuo's subsequent chatter, but Xiao Jin's lingering figure was always in her mind.
She rubbed her eyebrows, it was really weird.
"At this speed, when can we reach the shepherd tribe?"
"It only takes two or three days. In fact, we are not far from the shepherding tribe. If it weren't for the snow in winter, it would be even faster. The cattle and sheep we bought before were from the shepherding tribe."
"Isn't there a big rift valley there?"
"Yes, there is a big rift valley, but the rift valley is not between us and the Shepherd Tribe, but between the Shepherd Tribe and the South Country."
In other words, there is a natural barrier between the shepherds and the southern country.
"There are no connecting roads?"
"I was curious before, so I spent nearly a year walking through the Great Rift Valley to make sure that there was no place that could connect the two sides. If you can't get through here, you can't get through there either."
Su Ying was a little surprised, but also admired his persistence, "How many places between the Northern Wilderness and the Southern Kingdom can communicate with each other?"
"There are only two. One is at the entrance to the Northern Wilderness, and the other is in the direction from the western border of the Southern Kingdom to the tribe. Other than that, there is no other connecting place."
Su Ying nodded. She didn't expect that this boy knew so much.
"Have you traveled all over the Northern Wasteland in these years?"
Zhang Nuo hummed, "To be honest, I am ashamed to say that I just like to wander around and I haven't been able to spend time with my mother and father."
"Can you read?"
"Well, there is a teacher in the tribe. He was saved by my father. Later, in order to express his gratitude to my father, he taught children in our tribe and other tribes who wanted to study. However, many tribesmen thought that studying was useless, so not many children followed him to learn."
These tribes have lived on growing medicinal herbs for generations and occasionally going hunting in the mountains. Apart from that, they have no other way to make a living. Reading and writing really don't mean much to them.
"Do you want to change your current life?" Su Ying suddenly asked.
Zhang Nuo was stunned at first, then he understood what she meant. "I do, but City Lord Su, we are all from the Northern Wasteland. We have even forgotten which country our ancestors were exiled to. To those countries, we are rootless, without nationality, and life and death are indifferent. The only thing we can do is to live a good life now."
"I like your personality." He is cheerful, direct, without too many bends and turns, and good at speaking. She likes to get along with this kind of person, which makes her feel free of burden.
Zhang Nuo paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. The laughter that vibrated from his chest echoed throughout the snowy forest.
"City Lord Su is also different from the people in Tiankui City."
Su Ying sneered, "They are all perverts, of course I am different."
"Don't worry, Tiankui City is different now."
Zhang Nuo felt that there must be some unknown story behind this, but the time they had spent together was too short, and if he asked about some things abruptly it would only make people feel unreasonable, so he wisely chose to change the subject.
The carriage swayed in the snow, and after three days, it stopped in front of a mountain canyon.
Zhang Nola stopped the old horse and jumped off the carriage.
"This was originally a mountain stream, but because it's cold, the water surface is frozen. As long as you cross this stream and go through the small canyon in front, you will reach the shepherd tribe."
Su Ying also pushed open the door and jumped out of the carriage.
Zhang Nuo picked up a big stone from the side and threw it into the stream.
With a "bang", the big rock hit the ice hard, but not long after, the ice surface hit by the stone moved away, and the stone on the ice surface fell into the cold stream.
Zhang Nuo frowned when he saw this, "I knew thick ice wouldn't form here."
"How deep is this stream?" Su Ying asked, looking at the stream.
"The deepest part is above your head."
It is impossible for a carriage to pass through such a depth. If you want to move forward, you can only use a boat to break the ice.
Su Ying didn't want to say that there was a small warship in her space...
She slowly turned her head to look at Zhang Nuo, who was still standing by the stream worriedly, and frowned in confusion.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Nuo fell into the snow.
After Su Ying was sure that the person had fainted, she entered the space and brought the warship to the surface of the water. The weight of the warship quickly crushed the thin ice on the surface.
Su Ying carried Zhang Nuo on her shoulders and put him on the warship. She then untied the old horse and led it on board. She also moved some miscellaneous gifts over. As for the carriage... let's put it into the space first.
After doing all this, Su Ying jumped onto the warship, turned on the switch and headed towards the opposite side.
The ice on the stream was very thin and could not withstand the impact of the warship and quickly broke into pieces. In addition, the stream was not wide, so she quickly reached the other side.
She jumped down, led the old horse down, and moved Zhang Nuo and Xingli down and placed them on the old horse. Then she put the warship back into the space.
There is only one road on the other side of the stream. As Zhang Nuo said just now, you can get there by crossing the stream and going through the canyon.
Su Ying led the horse into the canyon.
Zhang Nuo was awakened by the cold. He shivered on the old horse's back and opened his eyes, only to find himself on the horse's back, and Su Ying was actually leading the horse!
Zhang Nuo quickly sat up from the horse's back. As soon as he moved, he felt a little pain in his neck. He remembered that he was trying to cross the stream, but his neck suddenly hurt for some reason and he fainted. When he woke up, he was on the horse's back.
"Su, City Lord Su?"
Su Ying looked back at him. There was no strange expression on her face, as if nothing strange had ever happened. "Awake?"
Zhang Nuo nodded. "Wake up, wake up, City Lord Su, did something happen to us?"
Su Ying said calmly, "Oh, you were knocked unconscious by the monkey."
Zhang Nuo was so shocked that he was stunned. Was he knocked unconscious by the monkey?
There are some vicious monkeys around the canyon, but they won't attack people for no reason.
Zhang Nuo looked around and confirmed that this was the canyon across the stream. He was even more surprised. How come they came here when he was dizzy for a while? Where was the carriage?
"City Lord Su, how did we get here?"
Su Ying said calmly: "I found a shallower place and carried you here. We don't need the carriage anymore."
Zhang Nuo:? ?
Zhang Nuo was immersed in shock for a long time. He really couldn't imagine how Su Ying carried him and led the horse across the water?
This is what City Lord Su was wearing before, right? Right?
Did he remember it wrong?
Zhang Nuo began to doubt his life...
