The sun shone through the cracks in the cave, and the dry firewood piled on the ground had burned out and turned into a pile of ashes.
"Did you miss me? Old woman, I really miss you!"
"Come, sit on my lap and let me take a good look at whether you have gained weight these days. Gudong!"
With the sound of a throat sliding, Zi Yang, who was lying on the ground, sat up suddenly. He first wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then looked around the cave, his face gradually losing sight.
Obviously, he had met Yaorou in his dream just now, and the joy in his heart was on his face. But when he returned to reality and saw that the cave was empty, he would inevitably feel a little depressed.
"It turned out to be a dream..." He picked up the water-playing handkerchief that fell on his lap and carefully put it into the basin.
"Oh! It's been a long time, does she really not think about me at all? Or does she not want to disturb my mood?"
Ziyang walked out of the cave, looked up at the clear sky, and sighed: "In this current situation of being chased and blocked, it would be great if she could stay with me, even if it is only for a short hour."
After a long time, he waved his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, it's better not to miss her. When I think of her, I have an urge to go to the lawless zone."
"It's too early to go to the lawless zone now, too early..." With that said, he lifted his feet and left along the mountain road.
After Zi Yang left, two sword cultivators dressed in black, with heavy swords on their backs, black masks covering their faces, and dark short boots came to the cave and saw the ash on the ground and the wine rolling aside. pot.
One of them squatted down, picked up the wine jug on the ground and poured it for a few times. He saw a few drops of wine dripping from the jug and said, "There were no other people around, and the wine in the jug was not dry yet. It looked like it had just been poured." We haven’t left for long, shall we go after him now?”
The other man took off the scabbard of the sword from his back, then sat with his back against the stone wall, rubbing his hands, breathing hot air through his mouth, and said: "What are you chasing after in this cold weather?"
He waved to his companions and said, "Come here, bring out the good wine and meat. Let's have a meal here and have a good rest."
The man standing in front of him hurriedly reminded: "Are you crazy? Xemu is following us. Once he finds out that we are lazy, let alone drinking and eating meat, our lives will be at risk." "
The man in black sitting on the ground said: "Are you afraid? Even if you chase that boy from the Northern Continent, what can the Chamber of Commerce give you? What can Xie Mu give you? Be open-minded, we are just here to help Xie Mu catch people. As for the rewards, don’t they all belong to him, Xie Mu?”
"Not only are we lazy, but other brothers are also lazy. Even Xemu himself doesn't know where to enjoy his happiness."
The man standing in front of him put the scabbard of his sword up on the stone wall, slowly sat down beside him, nodded and said: "Yes, the people above will order us, we will do the dirty work, and they will be free." Very well, it’s so cold outside, so chase whoever you want.”
The man in black, who was leaning against the stone wall, took out the wine bottle and put it on the ground, saying: "That's right. It has nothing to do with us if we catch you but we can't catch you. It's only the fools who chase you."
Another person threaded the animal meat on a bamboo pole, then lit a fire and roasted the meat on the fire. As for capturing Zi Yang, the two of them had no motivation at all and had even forgotten about him.
They joined the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce for the Origin Stone, and there was no profit.

Without supervision, it is almost impossible to get them to work for the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce.
In the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, only those at the top or those with potential can benefit. As for people from poor backgrounds, they can save some Origin Stones in the Chamber of Commerce, but in short they will not starve to death.
If they can do what is ordered from above, they will do it, and if they cannot do it, they will put it off. It can be said that they have no feelings for the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. If the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce is here, they are members of the chamber of commerce. If the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce is no longer there one day. , they switch to other forces.
In any case, their strength is much stronger than the members of branches scattered in various towns, so they don't have to worry about not being able to take them in.
At present, the tense situation among the major forces in the Western Continent has further encouraged their mentality of negligence. Even if they cannot complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, their lives will not be in danger.
If the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce kills them on a large scale, it will definitely cause panic among other members, and even make them turn elsewhere. This is why Xiemu did not kill the sword cultivators and others.

As evening approached, snowflakes began to drift in the white sky. Ziyang stood on a hilltop and looked at the surrounding mountains, as if he wanted to find a town where he could stay.
Early in the morning, he set out from the cave. He crossed countless rivers and walked through countless mountain peaks along the way, but he never saw anyone except barren mountains.
When he saw smoke rising from a kitchen somewhere in a ravine, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurried towards the direction where the smoke was rising.
If there is smoke, it means someone is cooking, and if someone is cooking, there must be a house. He still has some Origin Stones in his hand, so he can find an inn to have a good night's rest.
As the snowflakes in the sky fell bigger and bigger, soon the ice and snow accumulated on the ground reached to the ankles, and the trees in the mountain forest were also forced to be covered with a layer of snow.
On the hazy and cold mountain road, snow has already covered the road, but the snowflakes falling in the air have not stopped.
At this time, a black shadow quickly ran through the wind and snow, and then was caught by a large white net spread on the snow.
At this moment, the person hiding behind the tree who was covered with white cloth took off the white cloth, grabbed the hanging rope and hung the person in the big net on the thick branch.
Zi Yang, who was hung up, looked down at the three big men wearing animal skins and asked, "What are you doing? Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
A man wearing a golden spotted leopard skin and in the realm of reincarnation was tying the rope in his hand to the tree trunk. He lowered his head and tied the rope and said: "Boy, don't worry about who we are. Today we were raped by our brother." If we meet a few of you, you're lucky, and you won't have to rush around in the ice and snow."
Standing next to him, he was also in the state of reincarnation. He had a brown bear skin wrapped around his waist and a broad-bladed knife on his back. He crossed his arms across his chest, looked up at Ziyang, and then said to the man tied with the rope: " The clothes this boy is wearing are quite gorgeous, and it looks like he must have some Origin Stones on him."
"Don't worry about whether he has the Origin Stone on him or not. We have been lying in this snow cave for so long, and finally we haven't waited in vain." After the man in leopard skin tied the rope, he said sideways: "Sixth, hurry up Go and push the car."
"Oh, okay!" The man in the realm of reincarnation, wearing a black striped cotton coat, nodded and hurriedly pushed the snow-covered trolley over.

Zi Yang immediately said: "Three eldest brothers, three eldest brothers, I really don't have the Origin Stone in me, you should let me go."
The man in leopard skin said: "Let you go? What will your father eat if I let him go?"
When Zi Yang heard this, his expression was slightly startled, and he frowned and said, "No, you guys want to eat me, right?"
After hearing what he said, the three big men standing under the tree looked up and laughed. Zi Yang rolled his eyes slightly, not knowing what their laughter meant.
The man carrying the broad-bladed knife held his chin with his hand, stared at Ziyang carefully, and said to his two companions: "Hey, have you noticed? This boy is very handsome. If you sell him to a brothel, you might be able to sell him. Good price.”
The man in cotton-padded clothes chuckled and said, "Don't tell me, this guy is good-looking and can please women, but I don't know if his body is good enough?"
The man in leopard skin nodded and said: "Just right! This kid looks a little weak. Let's capture him and train him for ten days and a half."
"Once we build up his muscles and improve his physical fitness, are we still worried about not being able to sell him at a good price?"
Zi Yang said with a sad look on his face: "Brother, three eldest brothers, I don't have the power to tie a chicken, I don't know a few Chinese characters, and I don't have any Origin Stone treasures on me, so you should let me go."
The man carrying a broad-bladed knife said: "Boy, I will find you a good job and ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the next life, hahaha!"
The man in cotton-padded clothes looked up at the white sky and hurriedly urged: "Don't talk nonsense to him. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Let's go back quickly."
"Okay! Now is the time to employ people. If we go back for a moment, we will have one more Origin Stone in our hands." The man in leopard skin untied the rope tied to the tree trunk and lifted Ziyang little by little. Put it down.
Ziyang, who was trapped in the big net, sighed: "No, no, no, three brothers, I'm just passing by here and want to find a place to beg for food. You guys should be kind and let me go."
The man carrying a broad-bladed knife took out a black sack. Without saying a word, he put the sack on Zi Yang's head and kicked him hard on the back.
The man wearing leopard skin hurriedly reached out to stop him and said: "Okay, okay, don't beat him up, we still expect him to make money."
The man carrying the broad-bladed knife laughed and said: "This pretty boy is pampered, just like a wild donkey. If you don't show him some color, he won't work well for you."
"Don't worry, I tried it just now. This guy's meat is quite strong and he's good for work."
The man in a cotton-padded jacket carried the sack containing Ziyang onto the trolley, turned to the other two and said, "Let's go, we still have something to gain today, otherwise, we would be too shameless to go back."
After saying this, he bent down and pushed the cart forward, while his two companions walked beside him, one on the left and one on the right.
The man wearing leopard skin smiled nonchalantly and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, with the heavy snow today, others may not have any results. We have at least caught one."
The man carrying a broad-bladed knife nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, that's right. There are only a few people traveling in these barren mountains, and with the heavy snowfall, it would be nice to catch one."
Zi Yang, who fell on the trolley, didn't resist. Before long, the figures of the three of them were obscured by the blurry wind and rain.
