Chapter 249: I’m Different

“City Lord Su, are you alright? Just now, the horse carriage accidentally bumped into a rock. That’s how it is with the road on snowy days. 1 can’t see what is under the snow.”

In the rear, Su Ying wasn’t paying any attention to Zhang Nuo’s rambling, but the image of Xiao Jin’s figure refused to disperse and was still lingering in her mind.

She rubbed the spot between her eyebrows. What the hell was happening to her?

“At our speed, approximately when will we reach the Shepherd Tribe?”

“It’s only two or three days. Actually, we’re not far from the Shepherd Tribe. If it weren’t for the snow in winter, we could have been faster. The cattle and sheep in our tribe’s village were bought from them.”

“Isn’t there a huge rift valley there?”

“Yes, there is a huge rift valley. However, that rift valley is not between us and the Shepherd Tribe, but between the Shepherd Tribe and the Nan State.”

In other words, there was a natural barrier between the Shepherd Tribe and the Nan State.

“There’s no path connecting the two sides?”

“Previously, I was also curious. For this reason, I spent nearly a year just walking around the big rift valley. I was able to confirm that there was no place that could be connected to the two sides. People from this side can’t get across and people from that side can’t come here either.”

Su Ying was a little surprised, but she also admired his persistence. “Then how many places allow people to travel back and forth between the northern wilderness and the Nan State?”

“There are only two. One is the entrance to the northern wilderness, and the other is the western border territory of the Nan State running in the direction of the tribes’ territory. Other than those two points, there is no other place that connects.”

Su Ying nodded. She hadn’t expected this fellow to know so much.

“Have you covered the whole northern wilderness during these years?”

Zhang Nuo murmured in the affirmative. “I’m ashamed to say this, but 1 like to travel around aimlessly. I can’t even stay by Mother and Father’s sides dutifully.”

“You can read?”

“Mm-hmm. There was a teacher in the tribe who was saved by my father. Later, in order to thank my father, he taught the children of our tribe how to read and write, as well as the children from other tribes who wanted to learn. However, many tribesmen felt that reading and writing were useless, so there were not many children who followed us to learn.”

These tribes had been growing medicinal herbs for generations and occasionally went hunting in the mountains. Other than that, they had no other way to make a living. Reading and writing were indeed quite meaningless to them.

“Have you guys thought about changing your current lifestyle?” Su Ying suddenly asked.

Zhang Nuo was astonished at first, but he immediately understood what she meant. “Yes, but City Lord Su, we are all people from the northern wilderness. We have even forgotten which state our ancestors were exiled from to come to this place. To those states, we are people without roots and nationality, and it’s no concern to anyone whether we live or die. The only thing we can do is to live our lives well now.”

“I like your personality, kid.” He was forthright with a bright outlook. He didn’t beat around the bush but was good at expressing himself. Su Ying liked to hang out with people like him. He made her feel that there was no pressure.

Zhang Nuo paused for a moment before laughing out loud. The sound of his laughter erupted from his chest and reverberated throughout the snow-covered forest.

“City Lord Su is also different from the people in Sky Alpha City.”

Su Ying gave a disdainful snort. “They’re all perverts. Of course, I’m different.

“Don’t worry. The current Sky Alpha City is no longer the same.”

Zhang Nuo felt that there must be an unknown story behind this, but the time they had spent together was too short. If he asked about some things abruptly, it would only make him appear unreasonable. Thus, he wisely chose to change the topic.

The horse carriage rocked and swayed as it traveled in the snow-covered land. Three days later, it stopped in front of a mountain canyon with a river.

Zhang Nuo La stopped the old horse and jumped off the horse carriage.

“This was originally a mountain stream, but because of the cold, the surface of the water has frozen. After we cross this stream and the small canyon in front of us, we will reach the Shepherd Tribe.”

Su Ying also pushed open the carriage door and jumped down.

Zhang Nuo picked up a large rock and threw it into the stream.

Crash! The big rock smashed into the ice surface violently, but not long after that, the ice layer that was hit by the rock split up, and the rock on the ice layer dropped into the icy cold stream.

Zhang Nuo knitted his thick eyebrows. “1 knew it. The ice here wouldn’t form a thick layer.”

“How deep is this stream?” Su Ying asked as she looked at the stream.

“The deepest part can go above your head.”

It was impossible for a horse carriage to pass through such a depth. If they wanted to continue moving forward, they could only use a boat and break through the ice to row across.

Su Ying didn’t want to tell him that she had a small battleship in her interspatial store…

She slowly turned her head to look at Zhang Nuo, who was still standing by the stream, fretting over what to do.

After 15 minutes, Zhang Nuo toppled over into the snow.

After Su Ying confirmed that he was completely unconscious, she entered her interspatial store and brought the battleship to the surface of the water. The weight of the battleship quickly crushed the thin ice on the surface.

Su Ying carried Zhang Nuo on her shoulder and placed him on the battleship. She then untied the old horse and led it onboard. She also brought some of the scattered luggage over. As for the horse carriage… she would put it in the interspatial store first.

After doing all this, Su Ying jumped onto the battleship, turned on the engine, and headed toward the other side.

The ice on the surface of the stream was very thin, and it could not withstand the crushing impact of the battleship and quickly shattered. In addition, the stream was not wide, so she reached the other bank very quickly.

Su Ying jumped off and led the old horse down. After placing Zhang Nuo and the luggage on the old horse, she put the battleship back into the interspatial store.

There was only one road on the other side of the stream. Zhang Nuo had said earlier that they would arrive at the tribe’s location after crossing the stream and going through the canyon.

Thus, Su Ying led the horse into the canyon.

Zhang Nuo soon woke up from the cold. He shivered on the back of the old horse and opened his eyes. He then found himself on the horse’s back, and Su Ying was actually leading the horse!

Zhang Nuo quickly sat up on the horse. As soon as he moved, he felt a bit of pain in his neck. He remembered that he was trying to think of a way to cross the stream, but for some reason, his neck suddenly hurt and he fainted. When he woke up again, he was on the horse.

“City… City Lord Su?”

Su Ying turned around and glanced at him. There was not the slightest trace of anything odd in her expression. It was as if nothing strange had ever happened. “You’re awake?”

Zhang Nuo nodded. “I’m… I’m awake. City Lord Su, did… did something happen to us?”

“Oh, you were knocked out by a monkey,” Su Ying replied with a straight face.

Zhang Nuo froze in stunned silence. He was knocked out by a monkey?

There were some ferocious monkeys around the canyon, but those monkeys would not attack people for no reason.

Zhang Nuo looked around and was certain that they were in the canyon on the other side of the stream. He was even more astounded after that. How come they were already on the opposite bank after he fainted for a while? And where was the horse carriage?

“City Lord Su, how did we cross over?”

Su Ying said calmly, “1 found a relatively shallow place and carried you over. I discarded the horse carriage.”

Zhang Nuo was utterly speechless.

He then remained in shock for a long time. He simply couldn’t imagine how Su Ying had managed to carry him and lead the horse across the stream.

City Lord Su was wearing this set of clothes previously, wasn’t she? He was right, wasn’t he?

Did he remember wrongly?

Zhang Nuo began to doubt his existence…
