Inside and outside the box, two faces that were close enough to meet looked at each other.

In an instant, Ding Mu saw the girl open her mouth slightly, and the next scream was about to burst out of her throat!

Ding Mu didn't even think about stretching out his right hand and pressing it on the girl's mouth, and at the same time put his left hand on her shoulder and pressed down hard.

Although it was a little embarrassing in his imagination, the scene of being able to restrain the other party did not appear, on the contrary, just when Ding Mu thought that he had controlled the other party, he first felt a pain in his right hand pressed on the girl's mouth, and then his left wrist was grabbed by someone with his wrist back, and with a twist, Ding Mu was thrown out of the box directly!

Before Ding Mu, who was on the ground on his back, had not had time to get up, the girl had already quickly turned around and rode on top of him, and what was even more terrifying was that she didn't know when there was an extra sharp dagger in her hand, and the tip of the dagger was slightly bent against his throat.

Ding Mu was stunned and looked at the girl who was riding on him like a mad little wild cat, although he had heard of the fierceness of the gypsy, but this girl was too violent, he didn't even know how he was thrown out by her.

"Don't mess around, I'm not a bad person." Ding Mu can only hope that he and the girl will not be brutal at this time, after all, the dagger is not an ornament no matter how you look at it, and even saying that it is used for self-defense is a bit excessive, "Don't you remember me, we met on the mountain during the day, and I also gave you a piece of jerky." ”

There was a hint in the girl's eyes, she obviously didn't recognize Ding Mu at first, but now she looked at him seriously when she heard him say it.

Just as the two men were confronting each other, a sudden commotion came from the edge of the camp, and the gypsies in the camp immediately came out of their tents, some of the young men with short knives in their hands.

The girl immediately pulled Ding Mu up, ignored him and had to explain, pushed and shoved him to another box, opened the lid of the box and pushed him in, and then with the sound of a bang, the box closed, and Ding Mu fell into darkness again.

There seemed to be a lot of chaos outside, with some people cursing loudly, others protesting loudly, and then the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets everywhere.

Suddenly, the noise became very close, and Ding Mu could even feel the vibration of the ground when someone approached.

"Open, open all," an impatient voice said, "throw all this rags into the clearing, open all the boxes, and lift the curtains of your caravan for me to see inside." ”

"Can the guard master not do this, this is the girl's thing, you know it will make them embarrassed," the voice of the leader who led the show came before, with some flattery and helplessness in his voice.

"Bohemian women are also embarrassed, don't your women like to pull men to the stable or barn to find fun, look at this bohemian woman, it should be like this." The soldier's flirtatious voice caused the other people to laugh, and then there was an even more chaotic noise outside, mixed with the sound of the soldier threatening to collide with his weapons: "What are you going to do, you heretics who do not believe in God, you should be burned to death, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Gurga, what are you going to do, do you want to cause trouble for everyone?" The head shouted loudly, "Take him away and tie him to the wheels, and I will whip him ten lashes as punishment." ”

In the confusion, the Gurga could be heard struggling as the leader kept apologizing to the pestering soldier.

Just then, a very dull voice interrupted the chaotic noise.

"Enough!"

The voice sounded majestic, and both the sleek and irascible gypsies and the arrogant soldiers were instantly silenced.

Ding Mu held his breath and listened nervously, and the sudden appearance of someone outside made him feel dangerous.

"There's a man running into your camp," the voice wasn't impatient, as if it was simply telling the truth, but the pressure he brought was more nerve-making than the arrogant soldiers, "I want all of you to stay still until we're done searching, that's my order." ”

Ding Mu was lying in the box, his ears were close to the wall of the box, and as the box vibrated slightly, he felt as if someone's body was gently leaning against the edge of the box, followed by two bangs, and it was obvious that the person outside was casually hitting the shell of the box with a sword or other weapon.

"Now, search carefully, and don't let go of any corner."

As the chaos sounded again, the search began.

Ding Mu listened nervously to the movement outside, he really regretted why he fled into this gypsy camp, now it seems that this is completely self-defeating, and it is only a matter of time before he is discovered.

At that moment, he heard what seemed to be another person walking to the box, and then there was a faint sound of two people talking.

"I really didn't expect Kunto to die in this kind of place in the end."

"yes, he's amazing, better than all of us."

"Looks like you're still jealous of him, but it's all over now."

"But I'm still not worried about what he hid before he died, and who the boy with him was."

"Maybe it's just a companion, you know that Kunto is sometimes too stupid to make himself smarter."

"Do you really think so?" The man with a deep voice before asked rhetorically, "If that kid is ......"

"No," the latecomer seemed to be startled by a certain speculation, and his voice was a little agitated, "do you think that Kunto not only found him, but also brought him out?" ”

"Otherwise, how can we explain that the people we sent out to follow him have not heard from them until now?" The man's voice became even lowered, "Didn't we always suspect that someone had told Kunto about his whereabouts, so we sent someone to keep an eye on him, but now those people have no news at all, but Kunto suddenly appeared with a boy of unknown origin, is this too much of a coincidence?" ”

"Damn it, it's a pity that the priest didn't have time to make out his words, otherwise we would have known if the boy was the one we had been looking for."

"So we have to find the kid."

The lid above his head made another muffled sound, apparently knocked again.

"My lord, we searched all the tents and cars, but we found nothing." Suddenly, the voice of the soldier from earlier came.

"All of them," although there was no result, the man was not in a hurry, as the box moved lightly, he seemed to move away, and then Ding Mu faintly heard the sound of the weapon unsheathed, "There is still a box that you haven't checked." ”

As soon as the words fell, with a "bang", the lid of the box where Ding Mu was hiding was suddenly lifted!

………………………………………………

When the mezzanine baffle covering the debris was lifted, Ding Mu was a little dazzled by the sudden firelight on his face, he instinctively blocked it in front of him with one hand, and the other hand clenched the short crossbow and couldn't help but rise, seeing the girl's seemingly expressionless face, he exhaled.

Only then did he feel that his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

When the lid of the box was lifted by the man, Ding Mu thought that he really couldn't escape, and at that moment his heart tightened together as if it had been completely pinched, and the sound of the people outside stirring the clothes covering it with weapons was like the footsteps of death at that moment.

Until those people finally left after discovering nothing, Ding Mu never dared to make the slightest sound.

And because the girl never came to open the box, Ding Mu didn't dare to act rashly, and after a while, it seemed that after the whole camp gradually recovered, Ding Mu was released.

The gypsies had already returned to their tents, there were still some bonfires burning in the open space in the distance, and the place where the boxes were placed was a little remote and dim, Ding Mu looked at the girl in front of him with big eyes flashing in the night, he couldn't help but smile bitterly after thinking about it.

Because of his haste, the few Flin that the abbot had given him before didn't know where he had left them when he fled, and now he was a truly penniless pauper.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, the girl seemed to understand his thoughts, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the short crossbow in Ding Mu's hand, with a look of interest in her eyes.

"You want this?"

Ding Mu was a little hesitant, this is the guy he is saving his life now, but thinking about the other party, he saved his life, not to mention that this short crossbow is well-made and has a unique shape, and at first glance, it is not something that ordinary people can use, and it is likely to be a trouble to carry it with him.

"I gave it to you." Ding Mu handed over the short crossbow, and watched the girl take it and immediately put the holster at the end of the short crossbow on her wrist, and he smiled slightly.

Obviously, she was afraid that Ding Mu would regret it.

Then he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

This short crossbow can be said to be the last bond between him and before, and now that he has given it away, it seems that the things that happened before have suddenly become irrelevant to him.

Where should he go from now on?

The threat from both Kunto and the pursuers is over, and now he is a "free man".

Ding Mu was a little confused, he didn't belong to this era in the first place, he had no relatives, no friends, no past, and he didn't even know the origin and age of this body, so what should he do in the future?

Although it is turbulent, as long as you find a place to live, there should be no suffering in your future life, and you can even rely on the experience and knowledge of hundreds of years in later generations to live a life of good care without suffering.

But is it just like this in this era gradually disappearing, and then living without everyone else?

Ding Mu had a faint throbbing of restlessness in his heart, he couldn't tell what it was, if he had to make a comparison, it seemed that the life of more than 20 years in his previous life was so out of place compared to this kind of throbbing.

Ding Mu, who was pondering, suddenly felt a heat in his hand, and he looked up in amazement, and saw the girl take his hand and make a silent gesture, turn around and bend down and walk cautiously along the shadow of the caravan.

Ding Mu followed the girl and quietly got into the caravan in the corner of the camp, the caravan looked windy on all sides, and after entering, he found that there was a person in the towering car gang who could get into it and lie in the tent.

The girl pointed to the tent covered with a blanket, and seeing that Ding Mu hesitated, she simply got into it first.

The night wind blew, and the clothes that were soaked in cold sweat and stuck to his body became extremely cold, and when he thought about it, he really couldn't leave at this time, and those who were chasing him might still be outside, Ding Mu also climbed in backwards after a little hesitation.

The space that could only accommodate one person immediately became crowded, close to the obviously plump girl's body, feeling the faint warmth coming from her body, and only then did Ding Mu turn his head and look at her carefully.

At this time, he found that although she had a typical gypsy woman's upright figure, the girl's age was really not very old, and from her careful look, he would find that she was still childish, and Ding Mu even began to wonder if she was an adult.

This made him a little uneasy, and he tried to move to the side, but immediately he propped up the tent so loudly that the girl seemed to be a little annoyed and pushed him with her shoulder, telling him not to move.

"How old are you?" Ding Mu asked tentatively, although there seemed to be no such thing as a minor in this era, he still felt that it was not appropriate to be so intimate with such a child who didn't seem to have grown up.

The girl looked at Ding Mu silently, her big black eyes couldn't help but flicker.

"You don't understand me?" Ding Mu was a little helpless, originally thinking that this girl could speak the same local dialect as the leader.

"I heard them say your name is Sophia, So~Fi~Ya~, this is your name?"

Ding Mu still tried to make the girl understand, he didn't know why he was so persistent, maybe in such a strange and lonely medieval winter night, he had to keep talking to people to expel the unspeakable loneliness in his heart.

The girl's expressionless face finally slowly loosened a little, she nodded slightly, and then her lips opened slightly, accompanied by the mouth shape of "Sophia", and a sound that seemed to come out of her throat.

At this time, Ding Mu was stunned to realize that this girl was not unable to understand his words, but was a mute!

Ding Mu looked at her in astonishment, he never thought that this beautiful, smart, and seemingly well-outstretched gypsy girl couldn't speak!

After all, this girl saved him just because he gave her a piece of jerky, which shows that this girl knows that she is also very kind to repay her kindness, but such a girl is a mute, which makes him surprised and regretted.

Ding Mu's expression seemed to stimulate the girl, her originally relaxed face sank again, and she wanted to turn around but twisted her head to the side because the tent was too small.

The feathers on her head swayed and fluttered on Ding Mu's face, and the feathers shook around his nostrils for a while.

"Ahh

Ding Mu couldn't help but sneeze, and then quickly held his breath, but then Yu slid by again, although he tried his best to be patient, he kept making muffled sneezes as much as possible.

After coming over a few times, he found that every time he finally couldn't hold back, the girl would move her head intentionally or unintentionally, letting the feathers smash his nose again and again, which made Ding Mu a little crying and laughing, but he was slightly relieved.

Apparently the girl's anger has slowly subsided.

"Thank you." Ding Mu whispered.

The girl immediately turned her head, her dark eyes staring at Ding Mu as if she was examining something, and then nodded again as if she had made a decision.

"By the way, Sophia, you haven't told me how old you are."

The atmosphere was a bit weird, Ding Mu wanted to find a topic, but he regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth.

Just when he was worried that the girl would be angry again, the girl held Ding Mu's hand in the dark and began to wrench his fingers one by one.

When she stopped, Ding Mu was stunned and even a little frightened in the small tent: "What, you are only 12 years old!" ”
