1. Travel through ancient battlefields
Xia Yunchu bit his lower lip, silently stared at the dry river in front of him, which was already mixed with blood, and endured the first sigh he didn't know today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She couldn't remember how many times she had seen the murky, blood-colored river.
The wasteland near here was covered by beacon fire and gunsmoke, and the yellow and clear piece made people feel panicked when they looked at it.
Xia Yunchu raised his hand, clenched the strap tied to the sleeve with his teeth, and looked around blankly.
It'd been days since she crossed over to the battlefield littered with corpses, but she still hadn't been able to get used to the pungent smell of blood. Especially when she came out to fetch water, as long as she saw the blood mixed in the river, she was completely reluctant to put the wooden bucket in her hand into the water.
"Xiao Xiazi, why are you standing there stunned. Hurry up and fetch water to go back. You'll have to run a lot of times, but don't look at the scenery here. ”
"Ahh Okay, you wait for me. ”
Xia Yunchu heard the call next to him, and then he suddenly came back to his senses.
The riverbed, where there was only a little blood on the bottom, still smelled of bad rancidity, but when she turned her head and saw the swift movements of the thin young man next to her, she knew that she could not delay any longer, and quickly put the two buckets on the side of the flat shoulder into the river.
The water in the river is so shallow that there is no way to fill the bucket. Xia Yunchu and the skinny partner next to him could only carry two buckets of water that were not fully filled and returned to Wuli.
Although the thin boy who went outside with Xia Yunchu to fetch water was limping, his movements were very clever, just like a thin monkey, and his work was also very quick, leading Xia Yunchu all the way to the meeting in front, and soon returned to the rear of the Wuli.
Sure enough, everyone in the Wu Li was busy, and when they saw that they came back with water, no one paid attention to them, only a hunched middle-aged man pointed to the water tank in the corner, and then stretched out his head to look at the water in their bucket, and couldn't help frowning, "Why, I still can't find clean water outside?"
The thin guy was quite clever in front of Xia Yunchu, but when he was in front of this hunchbacked middle-aged man, he didn't know why he was dumb, and he dodged behind Xia Yunchu in a flash.
Xia Yunchu had no choice but to speak, "Hmm." We reached the border of the Qin army, and we did not find good water. This blood is not enough, only a shallow layer. If you go any further, you'll already cross the border. ”
"Alas. Then you will be responsible for filling the water tank today. The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head again. He raised his eyes and saw that the gray strip of cloth tied to Xia Yunchu's hand was a little loose, so he opened his mouth to remind, "The strip of cloth on his hand must be tied." Otherwise, if you meet the military master in front of you, you will not be able to break your stomach. ”
Xia Yunchu nodded, "I saved it." ”
The middle-aged man then stepped aside worriedly and went to supervise the work of the others.
The thin boy who had been hiding behind Xia Yunchu didn't finally come out from behind Xia Yunchu until the other party walked away, and said to Xia Yunchu with some admiration and envy, "Little Xiazi, you are really amazing, and you don't feel scared at all when you see these military masters." I can't do it, I've been ridden by those military masters before, and I can't talk to them at all. ”
Xia Yunchu smiled and said shallowly, "It's nothing."
It's really nothing to her. Unlike the children who were adopted after the army, she did not see herself being bullied by these soldiers. She didn't actually belong to this plane at all, and when she crossed into this body, what she opened her eyes to see was a group of soldiers cleaning the battlefield in front of the pile of corpses.
And she was one of the people in the pile of corpses.
Those military men seemed to be piling up the corpses and preparing to burn them, but they didn't expect that when the torches were about to be put on top of the corpses, they suddenly saw Xia Yunchu sitting up from the middle. Fortunately, those men were relatively coarse, and they were not frightened by Xia Yunchu, but they thought that they were too careless at the beginning, and they didn't find that there was still a living one in the middle, so they quickly took Xia Yunchu out of the pile of corpses.
When she came to this world, she saw the group of soldiers who were screaming to save her from the pile of dead, and the flames that rose when the corpses were burning, so she couldn't be afraid of these soldiers anyway. For her, these soldiers are life-savers.
Although she herself can't say whether she is lucky or unfortunate to live like this.
She didn't know where she was or what dynasty it was, until she was now on the battlefield and couldn't leave easily.
On this battlefield, there are many civilians like her who almost died on the battlefield. It's like this thin boy who went out with her to fetch water, and was originally a teenager who lived in a nearby village, because of his thin body, his nickname was Monkey. He did not have time to flee when the two armies were fighting, and one of his legs was broken by his warhorse. Although this monkey finally survived, he was also taken in by the Qin army as a miscellaneous servant, so it can be seen that those soldiers still can't help but tremble.
People like that kid, after this line of formation, are simply as many as there are.
Everyone hopes to be able to get out of this battlefield and go home to farm and live, but in Xia Yunchu's opinion, it should not be so easy to do.
She had no idea what kind of past she had in this place, but fortunately there were no more people around her who knew her, so she took the name of her previous life and used it. She also played a trick and disguised herself as a little boy. Although she has never looked in the mirror, she also knows that her current body is thin and small, which is about the age of her early tens, which is the time when the gender is the most ambiguous. The vague shadows on the murky river were not very feminine, and by camouflaging them in this way, they could make themselves safer.
If she could, of course, she would also like to be able to go to a small village, cultivate her own field, and live this hard-won new life in peace. After all, she had traveled to this ancient world.
It's just-
Xia Yunchu looked up at the billowing wolf smoke around him, vaguely listening to the noisy sound coming from the big array in front of him, and could only sigh to his heart.
What is a good life, what to go back to the countryside to farm and farm, she can only talk about it if she has the life to survive this battlefield.
What she wants to do now is not how to have a stable life at all, but she needs to work hard and live.
