Chapter 10 Sophia
Inside and outside the box, two faces that were so close that they were about to meet looked at each other.
In an instant, Ding Mu saw the girl open her mouth slightly, and then screamed and was about to burst out from her throat!
Ding Mu didn't even think about stretching out his right hand and pressing it on the girl's mouth, and putting his left hand on her shoulder and pressing it down hard.
Although he was a little embarrassed, the scene of being able to control the other party did not appear. On the contrary, when Ding Mu thought he had already controlled the other party, he felt a pain in his right hand pressing on the girl's mouth, and then his left wrist was grabbed by someone's backward wrist. As he twisted, Ding Mu was thrown out of the box!
Ding Mu, who was on the ground behind his back, had not had time to get up, but the girl had turned around and rode on him. What was even more terrifying was that she had an extra sharp dagger in her hand. The tip of the dagger was slightly bent upwards against his throat.
Ding Mu looked at the girl riding on him like a crazy little wild cat. Although he had heard of the tyranny of the gypsy for a long time, the girl was too fierce. He didn't even know how she was thrown out by her.
"Don't do anything randomly, I'm not a bad guy." Ding Mu could only hope that he would not do anything with the girl. After all, the dagger was not a decoration no matter how he looked at it. Even the self-defense use was a bit too much. "Don't you remember me? We've seen it on the mountain during the day, and I gave you a piece of jerky meat."
The girl's eyes suddenly appeared. She obviously did not recognize Ding Mu at first, but now she looked at him seriously after hearing what he said.
Just as the two of them were confronting each other, suddenly bursts of noise came from the edge of the camp. The gypsies in the camp immediately walked out of their tents, and some young people were holding short knives in their hands.
The girl immediately pulled Ding Mu up, ignored him and asked to explain, and pushed him to another box, opened the lid of the box and pushed him in. Then with the sound of bang, Ding Mu fell into darkness again.
It seemed very messy outside, with some cursing loudly, while others protesting loudly, and then there were sounds of rumbling over boxes and cabinets everywhere.
Suddenly, the noise became very close, and Ding Mu could even feel the vibration from the ground when someone approached.
"Open, all open," a voice of impatientness came "throw all these rags into the open space, all the boxes open, and lift your caravan curtains for me to see inside."
"Can the Guard Master not do this? This is the girl's thing. You know this will make them embarrassed," the voice of the previous leader who led the showman, with a little flattery and helplessness in his voice.
"Bohemian women will be embarrassed. Isn't your women the most fond of pulling men into stables or barns to find happiness? Look at this Bohemian woman, that's what it is." The soldier's frivolous voice caused laughter from several others, and then there was a more chaotic noise outside, mixed with the sound of soldiers threatening with weapons. "What are you going to do? You pagans who don't believe in God should be burned to death. Do you want to rebel?"
"Gurja what are you going to do? Do you want to cause trouble for everyone?" The head man shouted loudly, "Take him away and tie him to the wheel, I want to whip him ten times as punishment."
In the chaos, you can hear that Gurja seems to be struggling constantly, while the leader keeps apologizing to the entangled soldiers.
At this moment, a very dull voice interrupted the chaotic noise.
"Enough!"
The sound sounded majestic, and whether it was a sleek or irritable gypsy or an arrogant soldier, they were instantly stunned by the sound.
Ding Mu held his breath and listened nervously. The sudden appearance of someone outside made him feel dangerous.
"I've come to your camp," the voice was not impatient, as if it was just telling the truth, but the pressure he brought in invisibly was more nervous than the arrogant soldiers. "I want all of you to move until we finish the search. This is my order."
Ding Mu lay in the box with his ear close to the wall of the box. 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. It was obvious that the man outside was knocking on the box's shell with a sword or other weapon.
"Now, search carefully and don't let go of any corner."
As the chaotic sounded again, the search began.
Ding Mu listened nervously to the movement outside. He really regretted why he escaped into this gypsy camp. Now it seems that this is a completely self-destructive path, and it is only a matter of time before he is revealed.
At this moment, he heard someone walking to the box again, and then the two people were vaguely talking.
"I really didn't expect Kuntuo would die in such a place in the end."
"Yes, he is very powerful, better than all of us."
"It seems you're still jealous of him, but now it's all over,"
"But I'm still worried about what he had hidden before he died, and who was the boy who was with him."
"Maybe it's just a companion, you know that Kuntuo is sometimes too stupid and doesn't know how to make himself smarter."
"Do you really think so?" the man who had a low voice asked back, "If that child is..."
"No," the latecomer seemed to be frightened by some speculation, and his voice was a little excited. "Do you think Kunto not only found him, but also brought him out?"
"Otherwise, how can we explain that the people who sent out to follow him before have no news yet?" The man's voice seemed even deeper. "Aren't we always suspected that someone told Kuntu's whereabouts, so we sent someone to stare at him. But now there is no news about those people, Kuntu suddenly appeared with a boy of unknown origin. Is this a coincidence?"
"It's really damn. Unfortunately, the priest didn't have time to pick up his words, and he saw through it. Otherwise, we would know if the child was the person we were looking for."
"So we have to find that kid."
The box cover above the head made another dull sound, and it was obviously knocked again.
"Sir, we searched all the tents and cars, but found nothing." The voice of the previous soldier suddenly came.
"All it?" Although there was no result, the man was not very anxious. As the box moved lightly, he seemed to move away. Then Ding Mu faintly heard the sound of the weapon being unsheathed. "There is another box you haven't checked."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a "bang", the lid of the box where Ding Mu was hiding was suddenly lifted!
………………………………………………
When the interlayer baffle covering the debris was lifted, Ding Mu was suddenly shining with a little blurry in front of him by the fire that shone on his face. One hand instinctively blocked him in front of him, and the other hand tightened his short crossbow and couldn't help but rise. Seeing the girl's face that seemed to have no expression, he exhaled.
Only then did he feel that his clothes were completely soaked in sweat.
When the box lid was lifted by the man, Ding Mu thought he really couldn't escape. At that moment, his heart tightened together as if he was completely pinched. The sound of people outside stirring the clothes covered with weapons randomly was like the footsteps of the god of death were approaching.
Until those people finally left after they didn't show anything, Ding Mu never dared to make any noise.
Moreover, because the girl never came to open the box, Ding Mu did not dare to act rashly. After a while, it seemed that after the entire 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. The place where the boxes were stored was a little remote and a little dim. Ding Mu looked at the girl in front of him with big eyes flashing in the night. He thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Because of haste, the Buddhas that the dean had given him before had been lost to him when he ran away. Now he is a real pauper.
Seeing his awkward look, the girl seemed to understand his thoughts. She pointed to the short crossbow in Ding Mu's hand, and a look of interest appeared in her eyes.
"You want this?"
Ding Mu was a little hesitant. This was the guy who saved his life now. But thinking about the other party saving his life, not to mention that this short crossbow is well-made and unique in shape. It is obvious that it is not something that ordinary people can use. It is likely to be a problem to carry it with him.
"I'll give it to you." Ding Mu handed over the short crossbow over and immediately put the leather hood at the end of the short crossbow on his wrist after taking it. He smiled slightly.
Obviously, she was afraid that Ding Mu would regret it.
Then he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
This short crossbow can be said to be his last ties with him. Now he has given him a gift. It seems that the things that happened before suddenly have nothing to do with him.
Where should he go in the future?
Whether it is from Kuntuo or the threats of those pursuers, he is now a "free man".
Ding Mu was a little confused. He did not belong to this era. Here he had no relatives, friends, no past, and even knew 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 settle down, your future life should not be difficult. You can even rely on hundreds of years of experience and knowledge in later generations to live a preferential and care life.
But is it that it gradually disappears in this era and then passes away like everyone else?
Ding Mu felt a slight throbbing in his heart, and he couldn't say what it was. If he had to make a comparison, it seemed that his life, which had been with the circumstances for more than 20 years in his previous life, seemed so out of place compared to this throbbing.
Ding Mu, who was thinking, suddenly felt a heat in his hands. He looked up in shock and saw the girl pulling his hand up and making a silent gesture, turning around and bent down to walk carefully along the shadow of the caravan.
Ding Mu followed the girl and quietly got into a caravan in the corner of the camp. The caravan looked airy on all sides. After entering, there was a person in the towering car gang that could allow a person to get in and lie in the tent.
The girl pointed to the tent with a blanket. Seeing Ding Mu hesitating, she simply got in first.
The night wind blew, and the clothes stuck to his body soaked in cold sweat became extremely cold. I thought that I could not leave at this time. Those who were chasing him might still be outside. After Ding Mu hesitated for a moment, he crawled in with his back.
The space that could only accommodate one person immediately became crowded. Close to the obviously plump girl's body, feeling the warmth coming from her body. Only then did Ding Mu turn his head and look at her carefully.
It was only then that he realized that although he had a typical gypsy woman's figure, the girl was not very old. From her careful look, she would show her childish expression. Ding Mu even began to doubt whether she was an adult.
This made him feel a little uneasy. He wanted to move to the side, but immediately stretched the tent and the branches roared. The girl seemed to be somewhat annoyed and pushed him with her shoulders, telling him not to move around.
"How old are you?" Ding Mu asked tentatively. Although there seems to be no such thing as a minor in this era, he still feels that it is not appropriate to lean so close to such a child who seems to have not grown up.
The girl looked at Ding Mu silently, her big black eyes flashing.
"Don't you understand what I said?" Ding Mu was a little helpless. He originally thought that this girl could speak local language like that man.
"I heard them say that your name is Sophia, Sophia~, is this your name?"
Ding Mu was still trying to make the girl understand, but he didn't know why he was so persistent. Perhaps on such a strange and lonely medieval winter night, he could only expel the unspeakable loneliness in his heart by talking to others.
The girl's face, which had no expression, finally had a slight looseness slowly. She nodded slightly, then her lips slightly opened, accompanied by "Sophia"'s mouth shape, and there was a sound that seemed to appear in her throat.
At this time, Ding Mu was shocked and realized that the girl was not unable to understand his words, but a mute!
Ding Mu looked at her in surprise. He never expected that this beautiful, lively and seemed to have a good gypsy girl who could not speak!
After all, this girl saved him just because he gave her a piece of jerky meat, which shows that the girl knows that she is kind and kind, but such a girl is a mute, which surprised him and a little regretful.
Ding Mu's expression seemed to stimulate the girl. Her originally relaxed face sank again. She wanted to turn around but turned her head aside because she was too young to lie on the tent.
The feathers on her head swung and pounced on Ding Mu's face, and the feathers could not stop shaking around his nostrils.
"Ah snee~"
Ding Mu couldn't help sneezing, and then he quickly held his breath, but then Yu Xiao slid over again. Although he tried his best to endure, he kept making sneezing sounds as much as possible.
After coming here several times, he realized that every time the girl finally held back, the girl would move her head intentionally or unintentionally, making the feathers urge his nose again and again. This made Ding Mu feel a little amused, but he was a little relieved.
Obviously the girl's anger has slowly faded.
"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 strange. 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 pull his fingers one by one.
