Is Yuwen Sheng’s current expanded business scope so wide? Not even the giant deer, a powerful ordnance country, is afraid at all?
Because she was too surprised, and because she suddenly heard that Yu Wensheng was only a few kilometers away from her, Zheng Quchi was in a daze for a moment, and ignored the smell of the people around him approaching.
"Who are you? What are you doing hiding there?"
A delicate scolding sounded behind her, and Zheng Quchi turned around, only to see a girl with double braids staring at her with raised eyebrows, as if she was treating her as a suspicious person.
"I, I am a refugee..." Zheng Quchi hurriedly explained.
She did not lower her voice and pretend to be a man's voice at this time. Of course, it was more convenient to use her identity as a woman at this time, to lower the other party's psychological defense line with her weakness and harmlessness.
The girl with double braids in linen and gray skirt looked at her doubtfully. She lifted the backpack on her shoulder and approached Zheng Quchi.
Zheng Quchi pulled up the sleeve on his arm and exposed the wound on it: "I, I didn't hide on purpose. I'm just a little scared. I was injured and I'm looking for medicine."
Although Zheng Quchi wrapped herself tightly, with a long cloak covering her from head to toe, leaving no trace exposed, her clear and soft voice was unfalsified, and she was a petite and injured woman.
The sound of their conversation attracted other people, and all the hunters nearby gathered around.
Zheng Quchi saw a group of these people, about ten or so men and women, all dressed in rags, all carrying a bamboo basket to hold things inside. They all held sticks in their hands with sharpened ends. The middle section is serrated and the end is a hook.
Due to the sensitivity of the craftsman profession, Zheng Quchi stared at it for a long time. After observing it, he felt that this stick was somewhat interesting.
It has various functions. It looks like a stick that is easy to carry, but it can be used in a variety of scenarios, such as sawing wood, poking things, drilling holes, exploring depths, pulling, hanging things, etc.
I don’t know who designed it, but it’s a good idea.
When he saw Zheng Quchi dressed in suspicious clothes, he would inevitably be questioned.
Zheng Quchi calmed down and quickly compiled a set of identity origins in his mind.
She disguised herself as an ordinary refugee from another country. She originally had companions, but they either disappeared or were killed by robbers. In short, she used the word "tragic" throughout the whole process to gain sympathy and intolerance. Later, she met the border guards. mutiny.
It was a long and arduous journey to get here. Because I was hungry and tired, I saw an abandoned camp, so I didn't care about anything else and came in to have a rest.
Unexpectedly, she would meet them after waking up. At this time, she shrank her shoulders in "surprise and uncertainty", perfectly interpreting the image of pitiful and helpless people.
"What about you, who are you?"
After hearing her experience, everyone really sympathized with her, and their attitude was not as strict as before, especially the vicious girl just now. She hurriedly came up and held Zheng Quchi's hand to show comfort and friendship.
Someone asked her: "We are scavengers, have you heard of it?"
"I... don't quite understand." She shook her head blankly.
The little girl with double braids is a straight person. She told Zheng Quchi directly: "Oh, it's not that nice to say it. It's just like beggars, but we don't reach out to beg for money. Instead, we rely on our own ability to walk through the streets and alleys. Go to various abandoned places and find things that can be eaten, used, and sold to survive, do you understand?"
Oh, I understand, according to modern people’s understanding, they are commonly known as scavengers who pick up garbage and sell scraps.
She had never imagined that such a social group with such advanced consciousness could be seen in the Julu Kingdom. She was slightly curious about how these people were organized and who their constituent members were.
However, in today's world, everyone lives a tight life, with little extravagance and waste and unnecessary items thrown away. There should be nothing that they can miss in ordinary towns and streets.
That's why they ventured out of the city together and came to the abandoned camp... In other words, these scavengers were not the kind of scavengers she understood to be picking up ordinary garbage.
The word hunter is worthy of further study.
If you think about it this way, they may not only be large in scale, but also have a certain number of informants, so that their location can be provided in a timely manner.
Seeing that Zheng Quchi was silent, a man thought she was frightened, so he said softly: "Little girl, Jiajia, you are unlucky to have come to our Julu country at this time, but fortunately you did not enter the city. , otherwise, I will only be more scared now."
"What's wrong?"
The timid girl who was afraid of death came to her senses and now she dared to ask questions.
"Which country are you from? Have you ever heard of Yan Luo Yuwensheng, the Living Yama of Ye Kingdom? Well, Fenggu Sha City has fallen into his hands. The first thing he did after breaking through the city gate was to control the entire Feng Gu Sha City and seal it off. The city gate does not allow anyone to enter or go out. If you were in the city at that time, I am afraid that you would be worried day and night and not be able to live in peace."
When it comes to this person, there are really not many people who can guarantee a stable mentality. They are all afraid, frightened, and conflicted.
How could Zheng Quchi not know other people's comments about Yu Wensheng and their deep-rooted fear? In the past, she would have shared the same hatred as them, but now...MD, why did she feel that when others mentioned Yu Wensheng, she herself would feel a sense of discomfort inexplicably? Where is comfort?
This is none of her business, she really thinks she is Yu Wensheng’s wife!
She said sarcastically: "He, what is he going to do?"
"He said he was looking for someone." The little girl answered her.
Zheng Quchi felt strange: "Who did he come to Julu Country to find?"
Enemies or relatives?
Seeing that she knew nothing about it, other scavenger hunters kindly told her about recent major events.
"It is said that Sima of the border army kidnapped Yu Wensheng's wife, so he went crazy looking for her all over the city. I heard that someone saw him walking through the city in blood-stained clothes that day, taking the garrison generals and generals who were involved in the battle. Everyone who tried to escape was caught and everyone asked where my wife was. It was not easy to find someone who seemed to know the inside story, but they said that this person was missing and was lost in the camp. "
The man told the story vividly, and after speaking until his mouth went dry, he swallowed his saliva and continued: "Although that living Yama said he didn't believe it, he still led his troops and ran over without saying a word, ransacked the camp, and destroyed the inside. I turned everything upside down, but unfortunately no one was found... His wife disappeared, and Sima also escaped with the remaining soldiers."
Therefore, this camp was abandoned by a group of Julu soldiers who hurriedly fled for their lives.
"I also know about this. This Sima ran away and his wife disappeared with him. Everyone thought that Sima took his wife away. As soon as he returned to Fenggu Shacheng, he became furious and took the money from Fenggu Shacheng. The guard, General Yang, and the surrendered troops, as well as the people of that city, threatened Sima and told him to hand over his wife within three days, otherwise he would stain Fenggu Shacheng with blood."
Zheng Quchi was shocked after hearing this.
"H-His wife?!"
Why did he come to find his wife? Did he recognize her, or was he still married to another woman in Julu Kingdom?
"You must be surprised, that kind of person can marry like ordinary people." The girl with double braids mocked.
What kind of person is "that kind of person"?
Zheng Quchi lowered his eyes: "Did he say who his wife is?"
"It seems that the surname is Zheng. Oh, I remembered it. It's called Zheng Quchi. Then Yu Wensheng put out the public notices, which can be regarded as driving the name into our ears like a wooden stake."
Zheng Quchi took a breath: "He, he hates his wife so much that he has to chase her thousands of miles away?"
Everyone looked at her in shock.
They couldn't believe how her brain circuit was structured, although from their point of view, Yu Wensheng was definitely a murderous demon.
But to his wife, such a touching love story, not to mention a soul-stirring love story, could be regarded as a touching story of a pervert trying to find his wife. How come in her mouth, it turned into a terrifying story about killing his wife?
The corners of the double-braided girl's mouth twitched: "He is so aggressive, probably because he wants to find his wife."
"Yes, kill them after you find them." Zheng Quchi said with determination.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
The girl with double braids couldn't understand: "No, he spent so much effort to find his wife, why did he kill his wife?"
This time it was Zheng Quchi's turn to be silent.
There are many reasons.
For example, he felt that she had lied to him.
The promised country love story turned into a spy war.
Every time they met, they didn't know each other. She disguised herself as a man and worked as a craftsman, and he disguised himself as a blind man. There were all kinds of deception and unhappiness between them.
Also, he knew that she was not only a spy of the Mo family, but also a spy of Julu. He originally just casually killed a second- and fifth-year-old subordinate, but he didn't expect that this person actually had another hidden identity - his new wife.
It is estimated that he now regards her as a shame and cannot bear to look back. In order to completely eliminate her dark history, he will not hesitate to pursue her across the country... right?
"You said three days... If Mo Ye can't hand over anyone within three days, will he really massacre the city?" Zheng Quchi didn't believe it.
But others believed it: "Jun Wu is joking. Although he is not a king, he still keeps his word, so he shouldn't be telling lies."
"Don't worry, Sima will definitely hand him over. For the sake of the people in the city and General Yang, he will not ignore it. I just don't know what will happen if Sima meets Yu Wensheng of Ye Kingdom tomorrow."
They were optimistic at the moment because they were sure that the so-called lady was taken away by Sima Moye. As long as she was there, Yu Wensheng would not reach the final stage.
But Zheng Quchi knew that if the lady they were talking about, the "Zheng Quchi" Yu Wensheng was talking about, was really her, then the problem now... would be troublesome.
Mo Ye probably wouldn't be able to hand over a "Zheng Quchi" to Yu Wensheng.
The wounds on her body began to feel a slight numbness of pain. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or the injuries began to worsen. She felt that she had difficulty breathing, and her heart felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her.
"It's a bit presumptuous to say that the wounds on my body are festering and I need to change the dressing urgently. I wonder if you have any herbs on your body to apply to wounds? If so, I am willing to exchange gold and jade for them."
In this era, everything was expensive, especially the lack of medicines, which resulted in high-priced medicines. She was embarrassed to ask for other people's medicines, so she naturally had to pay for them.
They saw that this little girl was polite and sensible. She had gone through a lot of hardships, but there was no resentment or sorrow in her words. Instead, she suddenly became bright and made people feel good about her.
"We don't have it with us, but Brother Ya'er does. Why don't you go back with us."
"I wonder where that brother Ya'er is now?"
"It seems that he has relatives in Fenggu Shacheng. Because he is worried, he has been guarding near the city gate these days. He only waits for the three-day deadline to open the city gate and sneak into the city to rescue people."
Zheng Quchi couldn't help but frown. She didn't want to go to Fenggu Shacheng: "I wonder, how far is the nearest town pharmacy from here?"
"That's far away. We are the most remote and barbaric land in the Julu Kingdom. It is only connected to the border of Ye Kingdom by a natural moat, and it is also adjacent to the barbarian grassland tribes. If you want to reach another city, you can only rely on your feet. Let’s go, it will take more than half a month at least.”
Zheng Quchi: "..."
Half a month? She couldn't afford to wait for three days. Between taking the risk and dying of septicemia due to serious injuries and infection, she... chose to live.
"Then please take me to find Brother Ya."
"Let's go. We've already stepped on it. We'll just wait until the next trip to move things. I'll take you there now."
Moving something?
What are they moving?
Apart from some heavy ordnance defenses, there seems to be nothing valuable in this camp, right?
"Thank you."
Thank you for being so simple-hearted and willing to help a stranger.
After packing the rice she had collected, she followed them on the road.
Along the way, the little girl with double braids named "Xiao Meng" often came over to talk to her, but Zheng Quchi had something on his mind, so he just responded wordlessly, not warmly, and just wanted to let the other party understand that she was in a bad mood. , don't bother her.
However, Xiao Meng didn't care. She just thought that this young lady was a shy person who talked little.
"Why are you keeping your head down and covering your face with a hat? Is your face hurt too?"
"No."
Zheng Quchi shook his head.
Along the way, Xiao Meng was really curious about what this young lady looked like. So after arriving at the destination, everyone else left and went to Brother Ya to report the harvest of this trip. She suddenly pulled off her hat.
Zheng Quchi moved very quickly. Although he didn't have time to stop Xiao Meng's movements, he immediately turned his face away and raised his sleeves to cover his face.
Although he only had a quick glance, Xiao Meng was a little stunned.
Before, Zheng Quchi didn't care about showing her face, but since she knew that Yu Wensheng was looking for her, she was worried that her portrait would be circulated, so she didn't want people to see her face clearly and criticize her in vain.
At this time, a hand stretched out from behind and thoughtfully pulled back the brim of her hat that had slipped off, and at the same time, he raised his hand and slapped Xiao Meng's forehead.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", which made Xiao Meng rush to hold his head and cry out in pain.
"Nonsense, you do something forcefully that others don't want, just to satisfy your own curiosity. Have you forgotten what respect is?" A bright and clean male voice accused with a sullen tone.
