"Where have you been?"
"I went around the village and looked around, but I didn't see anything." Cheng Suisui took two steps forward and held her arm.
"But there is a mountain behind the village." Shen Xuan said, "I haven't seen this mountain yet."
"Oh, I want to go take a look." Ruan Xianbei thought, if there is a village, there must be a mountain, and if there is a mountain, there must be a monster.
She complained to Cheng Suisui, "Why didn't you call me when you left? I was too fast asleep."
Cheng Suisui chuckled, "That's not because I understand your hard work. I didn't call you when I saw you were sleeping well."
Shen Xuan looked at the sky and said, "It's going to set."
There was still the last trace of the setting sun, and the whole sky was orange-red, as if it had been burned by fire.
"Let's watch tonight first."
Several people looked at each other and thought of the note. They didn't know who sent the note, and they didn't know whether the person who sent the note was an enemy or a friend.
Ruan Xianbei took out his special whistle and handed it to them: "Don't separate, please contact us at any time if you need anything."
At least the four of them returned to the courtyard before the sun completely set. After they closed the courtyard door, they all felt that a lot of sight was missing from their bodies.
The villagers who had returned home were also hiding in their houses and secretly watching the situation outside. If they violated this regulation on the first day, they might cause public outrage.
There were dumplings sent by Ahua in the kitchen, and Ruan Xianbei cooked some dumplings for dinner in the evening.
You have to work, and of course you have to eat.
Mu Ruojiao didn't have anything in common with them in the room, and Ruan Xianbei didn't take the initiative to touch her. Considering that she was blind at a young age and liked Xu Pei, forget it.
"Sui Sui, how about eating dumplings tonight? How many do you want to eat?"
"Ten?!" Cheng Suisui looked at the size of the dumplings and added a few more for himself.
When Ruan Xianbei and Cheng Suisui were talking about what to eat for dinner, Mu Ruojiao felt hungry. She wanted to go out and go to Xu Pei next door to ask for a meal, but when she walked to the door, she heard the whistling of the wind outside. He also retracted his upper hand.
There was food in every house. When she wanted to go out again, she inevitably thought of the rumor. Forget it, it wouldn't hurt to be hungry.
Ruan Xianbei put the dumplings on the table, a large plate full of pork and leek dumplings, with a vinegar dish and a chili dish next to it. Mu Ruojiao's stomach growled inappropriately.
"I'm hungry too." Mu Ruojiao said stiffly.
Ruan Xianbei and Cheng Suisui didn't seem to hear her, and no one paid attention to her.
Mu Ruojiao's expression changed. She had a bad appetite and hadn't eaten anything today. She didn't really want to eat at first, but seeing others eating happily made her even hungrier.
Without thinking, she took out some broken silver from her purse and put it on the table, saying, "I'll buy you dinner today."
Ruan Xianbei smiled: "Suisui, is your family short of money?"
"Aww, there's no shortage."
Inhaled by Cheng Suisui's storm, the dumplings are shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ruan Xianbei then put down his chopsticks and pushed the money back: "Who are you going to send this money to?"
"Then how much do you want?"
This person just wanted what he couldn't get, and Mu Ruojiao's mentality now changed from forgetting about being hungry to having to eat.
"Sui Sui, tell me, how much money is my food worth?"
Cheng Sisui didn't even look up: "You can't change it for a thousand pieces of gold."
Mu Ruojiao put the entire purse on the table, "That's all, I'll give it all to you."
Ruan Xianbei took it over and weighed it. It was enough for several meals in a restaurant, let alone one meal.
"A meal?" She looked at her with a half-smile. The eldest lady spent a lot of money.
"what ever."
Money drops from the sky, and it's nothing if you don't pick it up.
Ruan Xianbei stuffed her purse into her arms and asked her, "What does Miss Mu want to eat?"
"I don't want to eat dumplings, whatever." Mu Ruojiao became more relaxed after giving the money and sat down on the other side of the table, "I'm hungry, hurry up."
"have to."
Ruan Xianbei entered the kitchen and made three dishes and one soup for her using the available ingredients. It only took a quarter of an hour to finish.
Stir-fried pork slices with potatoes, vinegar-stewed cabbage, chopped eggs with green peppers, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a few steamed buns as the staple food.
Cheng Suisui: The dumplings you eat seem to lose their flavor...
She pulled Ruan Xianbei and gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't you cook some food for me to eat!"
"You didn't give me money, so I don't want to do it." Ruan Xianbei smiled and patted her.
Cheng Suisui looked at the three delicious dishes and one soup with a sip of breath, and then looked at the dumplings in his bowl. After much thought, he decided to ask Mu Ruojiao.
"M-Miss Mu, can I have some with you?"
"No, I paid." Mu Ruojiao refused unceremoniously.
Cheng Suisui hid his face and wanted to cry. He didn't want to eat the good dumplings either!
Ruan Xianbei was amused by her. There were not many dumplings left in Cheng Suisui's bowl and he had almost finished eating them.
She smiled and said, "Your stomach is bulging. Stop eating and go for a walk in the yard to eat."
Cheng Suisui stood up reluctantly and realized that he was almost full. The dumplings seemed to expand in his stomach. He didn't feel it when he ate it. After eating, it became bigger and bigger.
She walked out of the house and burped.
He walked in circles around the yard which was not very big.
After walking around for a few times, she felt like something was watching her. When she looked intently, she saw a black cat landed on their courtyard wall at some point, its jewel-like eyes shining green.
Black cat: "Meow──"
Cheng Suisui moved over, not daring to get too close. Seeing a black cat at night meant it was ominous!
But after last night's experience, he had to go. The black cat was a little impatient with the wait. He glanced at her with a pair of contemptuous eyes, as if he was mocking her for being timid. When she moved to the wall where he was squatting, he But he jumped away with a swish.
this? !
Cheng lives stupidly every year.
At this time, she felt as if she had stepped on something under her feet. She picked it up and saw that, yes, it was another paper ball.
The paper ball the cat brought? !
Cheng Suisui stood under the wall, looking left and right like a thief before carefully opening the note.
"Southwest, the third room from the right, come quickly."
Cheng Suisui took a breath of air when he saw this quick sentence, but ended up burping even though he didn't take a breath of air.
She kept burping and called Ruan Xianbei at the door: "Ruan Ruan~burp~"
"What's wrong?"
"I burped~ I picked it up~ burp~ this burp burp burp~" Cheng Suisui kept burping and couldn't speak completely. She was a little annoyed and directly showed Ruan Xianbei the paper ball to see.
Come quickly.
Is it a trap or a reminder?
She patted Cheng Suisui's back gently to stop her hiccups: "Take a deep breath and hold it in."
Cheng Suisui shook his head sadly: "I can't burp~ I tried burping~"
"Go drink some water, then swallow slowly and bend over to try."
Cheng Suisui tugged on her clothes: "Don't burp, burp, go away~"
"I got it." Ruan Xianbei was helpless. She put the paper ball away and blew the whistle, "Go in and watch Mu Ruojiao, don't run around."
After a while, there was a whistle from the other side. Ruan Xianbei turned over and leaned on the roof. He found another tree and jumped over to cover his figure.
The person who came was naturally Shen Xuan. When he heard the whistle, he came out immediately. Perhaps this tree was the only one closest to him and he found Ruan Xianbei easily.
Ruan Xianbei handed him the note. Shen Xuan nodded after reading it, and quickly locked onto the third room from the right in the southwest. The two of them moved lightly and quickly. Ruan Xianbei has gained more control over his body since his cultivation level reached another level. Ability is better than before.
For example, after many experiments, she came to the conclusion that when she lands on a tree, she will not even disturb the birds on the tree and can prevent the leaves from shaking.
So as long as they don't go out in a big way, then
His behavior will not be discovered by anyone in the village.
"Here." Ruan Xianbei pointed. The black cat with green eyes squatted in this courtyard, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
"Meow~" the black cat meowed, jumped in from the window, and dropped its tail outside the window and shook it.
To go or not to go?
There was a tree growing in the corner of the yard, which was right behind the window of the house. She and Shen Xuan looked at each other, but they didn't come to any conclusion. Who knew what was waiting for them in the room!
"Don't move, I'll go first." Shen Xuan said, preparing to go and explore the situation first.
Ruan Xianbei's ears turned red. The two were very close to each other on the tree. When Shen Xuan spoke, she lowered her voice and got closer to her.
"Wait a minute." She reached out and pulled his sleeve, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
Shen Xuan soon felt this strange feeling.
There was no light on, and the woman in the dark room was stroking the black cat in her arms. She whispered, "You're here, aren't you?"
Soon there was a faint fragrance in the house, and it drifted out of the window with the wind.
"Who is it? Which sect do you have?"
Ruan Xianbei and Shen Xuan received the question from this voice in their hearts at the same time. It was a woman's voice.
Just when the two of them didn't know how to answer, the voice continued: "Just say it, I can hear it."
"Cangshan, Shen Xuan."
"Cangshan, Ruan Xianbei." After Ruan Xianbei finished speaking, he winked at Shen Xuan, meaning to borrow it for a while.
Shen Xuan looked at her with a smile on her lips, but she was not ashamed of her words. Cangshan could not afford to accept a disciple like her.
Ruan Xianbei quickly turned his head, why did this person suddenly get so close and smiled? What if she faints later and goes under the tree?
"How to prove it?" the voice then asked.
"We are here in the name of Master. We were supposed to arrive half a month ago but encountered some issues and were delayed." Shen Xuan replied.
"I am Sangzhu."
"come in."
It's actually Sangzhu.
The two breathed a sigh of relief. Although the fragrance was still there, the strange feeling had disappeared.
They entered the house through the window, and the black cat took them to the back room. The furnishings of this room were also simple. The black cat meowed and jumped from the ground into Sangzhu's arms.
"You are here." Sang Zhu sat on the bed, her voice was lazy and charming, even a little relaxed.
I don’t know why Sangzhu appears here. It remains to be determined whether he is a friend, but at least he is not an enemy.
Ruan Xianbei and Shen Xuan are still very vigilant. Are you here? What are they going to say? Are you coming to us?
Ruan Xianbei frowned and looked at Sangzhu. Even if she couldn't see her face clearly in the night, she could feel Sangzhu's sultry beauty.
What a beauty at the night party, Ruan Xianbei thought, if there wasn't at least a corpse in this room and Sang Zhu's hanging arm was dripping with blood, it would have been a pleasant meeting.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. There was a reflection and a rustling sound just ten meters away from the camp.
, which aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before daybreak, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
