He must have been sure that she was a craftsman at that time, but because her ingredients were so complex that she could easily handle any country's weapons, it was probably out of some kind of... curiosity-seeking mentality? Only then did she let her go for the time being, leaving her to deal with later...
But at that time, he probably never imagined that he would accidentally marry her at the "bridal party" not long after.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Go and fix it quickly." Xiaosan pushed her.
Zheng Quchi came back to her senses and pointed to the strange wooden parts in the pit: "Do you think...an ordinary carpenter can repair these?"
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to test her?
Xiaosan and Xiaoqi were stunned by the question. They looked confused and said, "...No way?"
She asked them calmly: "Then let me ask you, do any of you here know how to practice these?"
"Of course not, we are not carpenters." Xiao San and Xiao Qi said innocently.
"Actually, I don't know how to..."
Before she finished speaking, the mistress's face changed and she was full of villainy: "But if you don't know how to do it, then you will have no choice but to be silenced. We don't accept useless people here."
"...That's impossible." She smiled slightly.
"That's right, you were brought back by Brother Xing'an, so you will definitely know how to cultivate." Xiao San nodded thinking he was smart.
Zheng Quchi: "..." It's a good thing that the strong men who captured her came, otherwise no matter how violent they were, they wouldn't be able to do this job even if they forced her to Liangshan.
She carefully slid into the pit from the edge, and sorted out the wooden tools with missing arms and legs. Those with intact frames were lifted up and set up first. If they were really damaged, she would clean them aside.
When Zheng Quchi works, she is very capable and agile, giving people the impression that she is serious and hard-working.
The mistress shouted: "Hey, do your best, we will monitor you here."
"Um."
After Zheng Quchi responded, although her hands and feet kept moving, her clear eyes were slightly fixed. She was thinking, these road bandits really don't look like ordinary bandits...
First of all, these people looked sallow and thin at first glance, like those victims who had fled from other places. But she had observed them. Their bodies were lean but not slumped, and their eyes were very powerful, as if they had been injected with a sense of purpose in their hearts. , very cohesive.
She had only seen this feeling in the military. They were self-disciplined and well-behaved, yet full of mobility that could cause riots at any time.
Thinking about seeing a strange woman like her intruding into their territory last night, they hid in the cave from the beginning, silently and quietly. This was not a cover-up that ordinary civilians could do.
Also, as long as the Xing'an man spoke, they would not interrupt at will, and they would not even discuss in a low voice. This was not like a group of scattered people gathered together to form a group of road bandits.
Road bandits are different from mountain bandits. Mountain bandits may be ancestral, but road bandits in Ye State refer to those areas that have been affected by disasters, or where some people who are unable to make a living are in trouble. A group of people is temporarily organized to rob homes and houses on major city passes. .
The recent rampant prevalence of road bandits all shows the turmoil and instability of Ye State, as well as those officials who do nothing but bully others. People's living standards have declined, and the conflicts between officials and the people, and the army and the King of Ye have continued to intensify. Therefore, It also triggered many riots and civil commotions...
Ye Country seems to be becoming more and more corrupt. No, it's not that it has changed. It's that the more she understands Ye Country, the more she realizes how difficult it is to save. A country that is rotten from the root, coupled with a As the King of Ye, could she really reverse the situation?
Especially now that Ye State has lost Yu Wensheng, I am afraid that any "wind and rain" coming will cause a catastrophic "break of the embankment".
And in this stormy time, what are the origins of these people? What is the purpose of their coming to Fu County?
She had to find a way to figure this out.
Things have evolved into what they are now, and she has no way to escape. She just hopes that her elder brother and younger sister will be safe and sound.
she
This time of disappearance, Brother Wei and others must have learned the news last night.
It was because she was too reckless and negligent. She went to find someone but did not send someone to tell them in advance, thinking that no accident would happen in a familiar place.
The change in identity was so sudden that she didn't realize that she was no longer just a person, there was a group of people behind her.
If they find out that she went to Sangzhai, they will naturally find that her eldest brother and little sister are missing. The situation on her side is still stable. She only hopes that they can find them on her behalf and keep them safe.
There were a lot of chaotic emotions in his heart, which made Zheng Quchi's expression become more and more gloomy. Xiao Qi glanced at her twice, and then slid down from the side.
Zheng Quchi turned his head when he heard the movement behind him and saw Xiao Qi, the silent and stupid twin, bending down on the ground to pick up wood like her.
"Do you want to help me?" Zheng Quchi asked him.
Xiao Qi didn't look at her, but nodded.
"Xiao Qi!" Xiao San also ran down, and he slapped Xiao Qi on the back of the head: "Why are you doing these things?"
Xiao Qi touched her head aggrievedly: "She, the woman, we, the men..."
Xiao Qi was stunned.
He looked at Zheng Quchi. Although she had grown a lot taller now, she was still a lot shorter than these two slender teenagers. She was sixteen or seventeen years old and her appearance was similar to them, but because The maturity of Zheng Quchi's soul actually adds a bit of "sister" flavor to this skin.
She has a tender apple face and a pair of big eyes. If you look closely, she is very cute and charming, but she also has a pair of bright and clear eyes. As soon as people look at her, they will naturally think that she is. A woman whose heart is as pure as crystal.
"...Okay, let's help her out, so that she won't have to be slow and tidy up for a long time."
Although Xiao San was mumbling, he still started working with Xiao Qi.
Zheng Quchi stood there and blinked.
The twins looked different from Xing'an or even the others. At first, she thought that although they were young, they must have experienced a lot of things inside.
But now it seems that their hearts are quite consistent with their age, they are innocent, soft-hearted and well-educated.
Yes, they should be well-educated, because in this era, people at the bottom are generally influenced by society and believe that men with wealth and wealth are losers. Only those at the top can read and understand, and are taught to respect their mothers and sisters, and treat their mothers and sisters with respect. Women have a certain sympathy for the weak.
She seemed to see a breakthrough in them.
"I'm Xiao Zheng, do you call me Xiaosan and Xiaoqi?" she asked with a warm smile.
Exchanging names is the beginning of a closer relationship.
But the other party obviously didn't want to have a good relationship with her. Xiao Qi rolled her eyes and said, "You'd better do things quickly. We'll help you put these things away. We'll be going out soon."
go out?
Zheng Quchi suddenly remembered, isn't today the day that Wang Zebang plans to lead troops to encircle and suppress?
However, they have never found the enemy's lair. It is estimated that today is just a large-scale manhunt... But, isn't she here now?
As long as she follows them out and leaves some clues along the way, wouldn't it be possible to keep everything together?
So, she quickly applied: "Are you going to rob? Can you take me with you?"
"What are you going to do?" Xiao San asked confused.
Zheng Quchi made a random excuse: "Study, it's my first time to be a robber, but I want to really integrate with you, so I want to go with you."
The mistress stared at her strangely: "You really want to be a robber?"
"Yes, but you are just looking for money, so you won't hurt other people's lives, right?" She asked tentatively.
There are no clues about Princess Sheng'an, and I don't know if it has anything to do with them.
"Who do you think we are? We won't do that..."
"Ahem
..."
At this time, suddenly a warning cough came from behind them.
Xiao San's words were distracted. When he looked back, it was Xing'an. As soon as he appeared, there was an inexplicable heavy pressure. Even though he was smiling at the moment, he looked lazy and did not look angry.
When the mistress saw him, she stuttered a little: "Brother Xing'an, why are you here?"
"Xiao San, Xiao Qi, what are you talking about with Xiao Zheng?" He asked with concern.
Even "Xiao Zheng" knew it. He had obviously heard it from beginning to end.
Zheng Quchi, Xiaosan, Xiaoqi: "..."
This man speaks in a strange yin and yang manner, and the best way to deal with yin and yang is to be frank. She stood in front of Xiao San and Xiao Qi, met Xing'an's gaze, and said, "We are talking about that I also want to participate in this robbery!"
"Oh~ you want to go... to rob?" Xing'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth after hearing this.
"Yes, yes."
Zheng Quchi didn't know why he was enjoying looking at her inexplicably. She even wondered if she had said something funny: "Isn't it okay?"
Xing'an thought for a moment: "It's not impossible, but if you go, you might regret it."
"...Why do you regret it?" Zheng Quchi felt that the way he was staring at her at this moment was strange and scary, like a colorful snake spitting out letters but not busy attacking.
He smiled and did not answer. He just said: "Okay, I agree. Xiaosan and Xiaoqi, please take her with you when the time comes to gather."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Looking at his back disappearing into the sinkhole, Zheng Quchi felt a little lost.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
The mistress called her.
Zheng Quchi immediately turned back: "Is he your bandit leader? Why do I feel that you are all afraid of him?"
"Well, that's right, because Brother Xing'an is better than us, so we all obey his arrangements." Xiaosan scratched his head: "Don't you think Brother Xing'an sometimes looks scary when he stares at you with a smile?"
The last sentence was especially whispered, and if Zheng Quchi hadn't had sharp ears, he might not have been able to hear it.
Zheng Quchi immediately responded: "I understand deeply."
"I'm hungry." Xiao Qi suddenly said.
Having said that... Zheng Quchi also touched his stomach: "I'm hungry too."
Xiaosan also said angrily: "Me too."
"If we become road bandits, do we get food for free?" Zheng Quchi asked.
"What to eat? Uncle Li can cook minced meat. Today it should be venison. It must be very fragrant. Let's quickly sort these out and go eat together." Xiao San said excitedly.
"We eat venison early in the morning. It seems that our food is really good." Zheng Quchi said with emotion.
"Brother Xing'an asked you to join our outing. He must be planning to ask you to join us. You will definitely be able to eat a lot of good things in the future, and you won't be so greedy for just a piece of venison." The mistress scorned. road.
Zheng Quchi thought of the Changxongpo camp waiting for her to be raised, and thought about the soldiers who would soon be unable to even afford food. Compared with these bandits who blocked the road and robbed them, they, the regular soldiers, were not as smooth as they were. ..net
She was thinking sinisterly in her heart, since they were so fat, after Wang Zebang caught them and plundered their property, wouldn't that be equivalent to indirectly making them rich?
"What are you laughing at?" Xiaosan suddenly asked her.
Zheng Quchi was startled, and she touched the corner of her mouth: "Did I laugh?"
Xiao San and Xiao Qi nodded affirmatively at the same time: "Laughing."
She rolled her eyes and said, "Whenever I think about being able to rob the rich and give to the poor with you, I can't help but smile."
After hearing her nonsense, the mistress not only had no doubts, but also looked at her with great admiration: "Well said, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, I like these four words."
Sometimes young people's acquaintance is very simple. They can agree on a few words, work together, and eat together, and they can integrate well together.
From then on, Xiaosan and Xiaoqi
The two-person tight team was joined by Zheng Quchi to form a three-person team.
On the way, Zheng Quchi and them also inquired about the road bandits intentionally or unintentionally.
But the mistress is still more wary, perhaps because they have only known each other for a short time. Some things are said immediately, but some things are never mentioned.
In the afternoon, dozens of road bandits inside the cave stood outside the cave, but Zheng Quchi, Xiaosan, and Xiaoqi stood at the end, alone in a row, not among the dozens of people.
The status between each other is...clear at a glance.
Zheng Quchi looked around calmly. It was a dense forest, surrounded by trees, big trees, small trees, and medium-sized trees... The lack of adjectives in the science girl's mind made her ashamed.
She didn't know which forest this was, mainly because she wasn't very familiar with plants. Except for some common ones, it wasn't like an expert could tell at a glance what the trees and grass were called and where they were suitable to grow.
Since she couldn't tell what kind of trees these were, she just looked to see if there were any landmark-shaped things. Her head turned around...
Is she really not suitable to be an undercover agent?
She felt that when she walked out of here, she couldn't describe anything except that there was a very deep and large cave here.
She couldn't say that there was an open space outside the cave, not big or small, and a forest with dense trees that reached into the sky, blocking out the sun and leaving no trace.
When she looked up, she saw only a piece of sky; when she looked down, she saw only a patch of land.
When Xing'an saw everyone gathered, he asked, "Do you all understand today's mission arrangement?"
"learn!"
"I don't understand!"
Among a group of loud and strong "understanding" voices, a discordant and soft voice suddenly appeared.
Everyone immediately turned around in surprise and looked in the direction of Zheng Quchi.
