It is rare to have cloudy days in the summer afternoons, and the scorching sun is blocked by the clouds.
Holly and Tag, who were about to pull over to rest for a while, hurriedly stopped the carriage, picked up their weapons, and comforted the two sisters who were instantly silent in the carriage, saying "Don't be afraid", then jumped out of the car and walked towards the two strange men who called them.
The two tree people transformed into human forms were both extremely tall and sturdy, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a strong physique and well-developed muscles. The brown tight leather armor they wore made it impossible to ignore the power hidden under their strong muscles.
Logically speaking, given their figures and looks, no one would dare to cause trouble for them, let alone stop their carriage, unless they were desperate.
Therefore, Holly and Tag were very wary of the two people who called them so rashly, and they held their swords tightly, ready to fight at any time.
As a result, as soon as they got close, they felt that they might have been worrying too much.
The reason is simple: they are a pair of twin brothers, and they look very similar to Sophia.
Two strange men, no, to be more precise, two strange teenagers who looked and dressed identically.
They were tall and slender, a little shorter than Holly and the others, but not too much shorter. They were dressed in ordinary cloth clothes like human villagers, black short boots on their feet, and a gray hooded cloak on the outside. It was gray and not very eye-catching.
Maybe because I called them too loudly just now, both of their hats were thrown back a little, revealing their looks that could not be ignored.
The two young men had a cold temperament, healthy wheat-colored skin, and facial features that looked as if they were chiseled by a knife and an axe, revealing a sharp and cold look.
With short aqua blue hair, beautiful golden eyes, a high nose, and perfect lip shape, she is 80% similar to Sophia in the car, and the remaining 20% is due to the difference between men and women.
But Holly still did not let his guard down. He asked the two teenagers in a gruff voice: "Hey! You two, why are you stopping our carriage?!"
The two young men didn't show any fear when they saw the muscular Holly and his men approaching. Instead, they replied with a cold expression and a hint of anger in their tone. Their speed and tone were highly consistent. "You ask us? What's in your carriage?"
Holly was speechless. He shook his sword in his hand and pointed it at the two teenagers. He said coldly, "There's no one else here except you. Who should I ask? As for what's in our carriage? It's none of your business!"
Tag reacted and realized that the two teenagers must have known that Sophia was in the carriage.
He stepped forward and pressed down Holly's sword, then said in a gentle tone, "Two friends, we have no ill intentions. We are simply asking why you stopped our carriage."
Seeing that Tag's attitude was relatively good, the two teenagers ignored Holly and turned to face Tag, pointing at the carriage and demanding in unison: "We want to see your carriage."
Tag was choked by the actions and words of the two teenagers.
I’m afraid these two children have never suffered from the beatings of society.
He laughed, looked at the two teenagers as if they were ignorant children, and said with a smile: "Sorry, we have to refuse this unreasonable request."
Although Tag was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes.
The two teenagers did not expect to see the gentle Tag refuse so decisively. They looked at each other, as if considering whether to use force.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Tag continued to speak calmly, "If you can explain to us why you stopped our carriage, and if the reason is reasonable, we can consider your request."
After hearing this, Holly wanted to say something, but when he saw the look Tag gave him, he closed his mouth again.
Forget it, he'll just wait and see.
The two young men looked cold, but they seemed a little naive.
This time, the two boys did not speak together. They looked at Tag and thought for a while. Finally, one of the boys spoke.
"We are looking for our sister."
Tag frowned and thought of a possibility.
Before he could reply, a small sound of "ouch" was heard in the carriage.
"Ouch~"
......
Inside the carriage, it seemed that the two tree men driving the carriage had already gotten off to talk to the people who were blocking the road.
Lingling and Sophia shut their mouths obediently, moved quietly, and stuck close to the wall of the carriage to eavesdrop on the noise outside.
Sophia is a mermaid with good hearing. After listening quietly for a while through the thick wall of the carriage, she heard a familiar voice.
She was a little surprised, but not too sure. She was afraid that speaking out rashly would cause trouble, so she pointed to the gap and asked Lingling to go to the gap in the wooden board and peek outside secretly.
Coincidentally, Lingling jumped around but couldn't hear anything, and was just about to peek through the gap.
Seeing that Sister Sophia had assigned him a small task, he lay down in the gap and looked out with great interest.
She saw Uncle Holly pick up the sword, saw Uncle Tag stop Uncle Holly from taking action, and saw the edges of the cloaks of the two people blocking the road, but because the two uncles were too tall, she couldn't see who was blocking the road.
I twisted the small branches and tried to stick them into the gap, changing the angles in various ways.
I stick, I stick, I stick...
Then, Lingling fell gloriously.
"Ouch~"
Lingling screamed and hurriedly steady herself. Sophia also got anxious and pressed the edge of the water tank to rescue Lingling who fell to the bottom of the carriage.
“Yeah~”
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Because of the two sisters' big movements, things were falling and colliding in the carriage, making a lot of noise.
......
Outside the carriage, the four people confronting each other looked at each other and did not speak for a while.
The two teenagers also heard the noise, and with their excellent hearing, they could hear Lingling's tender little voice.
An expression of confusion involuntarily appeared on their faces.
Could it be that they had misheard? My sister's voice shouldn't be so milky.
As they spoke, the two of them unconsciously took a few steps towards the carriage.
Tag hurriedly stopped them. Although he was interrupted by Lingling the little troublemaker just now, he still remembered that the two teenagers said they wanted to find their sister.
"Wait a minute, you said you were looking for your sister, you should at least tell us what your sister looks like. If it's really someone we've met, we wouldn't mind helping you."
Tag was telling the truth. Not only were the two teenagers dressed in gray, they also looked very tired. It was obvious that they were holding on. If Sophia was really their sister, then everything could be explained.
These two young men should be Sophia's mermaid brothers. They came ashore to find her after she was captured.
It has been almost a month since Sophia was captured. Could it be that these two teenagers have been looking for her for a month as well?
Probably, no way...
