Chapter 109 is a woman

Watching the thin and restrained young man withdraw from the tent, Qin Zheng stood in place and looked at the tent door silently for a while before slowly pacing back to the back of the big case. Seeing Tiao Chen on the table again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - it's still not rigorous enough, don't you know that these handwritten things can't be thrown away at will? If it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, who knows what will happen!

Shaking his head, Qin Zheng picked up the strip again, opened it, and read it carefully. After reading it, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Lin Xu's heart is still simple, and what he wrote is not bad, maybe he can really achieve something by taking the scientific examination.

Putting Tiao Chen to the side of the desk, Qin Zheng turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall again.

This is a strategic topographic map of northern Xinjiang, which depicts the situation and topography of the Yanyun Mountains in the south and the Mobei in the north. It's just that the more than a dozen Rong tribe settlements outside the Yanyun Pass have now changed color, and the three hundred miles outside the Yanyun Pass have been wiped out by the Ming army.

Further north, there is another east-west Yinshan Mountain Range, which wants to wipe out the remnants of the Rong people who escaped from the mountain range, as well as the Beirong tribes further north, and even the Beirong Royal Court, it is not so easy. What's more, if the Jurchens entrenched in the northeast take advantage of the situation, they will not be able to please the lone army along the way. Or, after the battle between their own side and Beirong, when their vitality was greatly damaged, the Jurchens took advantage of the situation to advance westward, and they could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Frowning slightly, Qin Zheng pondered the strategic deployment of the army's next actions, and before he could get a comprehensive jihua, he heard the soldiers on duty outside the door report loudly: "Report, Qin Li and Qin Baihu ask to see!" ”

Hey, Qin Li is back?

A hint of joy flashed on Qin Zheng's face, and when he turned around, his face had already returned to coldness, and he only said lightly: "Pass!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was lifted from outside, and Qin Li and Qin Ren entered the big tent side by side in black cloth and short brown, and knelt on one knee more than ten steps in front of the big case, and gave a military salute.

"That's it!" Qin Zheng's cold voice came down from above, and Qin Li and Qin Ren rose in response.

"How?"

"Back to the general, that Gao Xiupu has relied on the saint's family for many years, acting domineeringly, and even the prefect of Anyang does not pay much attention to it, and the two of them went to the lowly position, and secretly visited for less than ten days, and found out that Gao Xiupu had many crimes such as embezzlement and bribery, and arson. That Gao Xiupu was responsible for the dispatch of military baggage, but he deducted the military and instructed his three sons to collude with a number of profiteers to make huge profits in the military grain and grass with shoddy products and Chen Chongxin and other means. The most important thing is that Gao Xiupu is connected to Beirong and secretly transports military rations to foreign enemies......"

Listening to the one in front of him, Qin Zheng had always looked faint, but when he heard this, his expression moved, interrupting Qin Li's return, and said, "Is there conclusive evidence?" ”

"Yes, not only do I have detailed accounts, but I also got a steward for Gao Xiupu to and from Beirong, who is the brother of Gao Xiupu's third son. The human and material evidence has been detained and returned to the camp, waiting for the general to be released! ”

Qin Zheng's face flashed with joy - but that's all, and then, he resumed his cold expression and ordered: "Give the account book to Lord Tang and let him write a copy of Shangshu." Explain people to Qin Yi, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Qin Li and Qin Ren hurriedly bowed down.

Qin Zheng asked about the other affairs of the two in Anyang, Qin Li and Qin Ren reported them one by one, Qin Zheng either nodded slightly, or was silent, and soon ended the conversation.

"Alright, you're tired from this trip, go down and rest for the night, and come back tomorrow!"

Qin Li and Qin Ren didn't leave immediately, they glanced at each other, still eloquent and said, "General, there is still something to do with your humble position." ”

"Oh?" Qin Zheng showed a hint of surprise slightly.

Qin Li, Qin Ren and Qin Yi and a total of eight people, all of whom have been with him since childhood as escorts, and from the capital to the border pass, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most confidant and the most credible people, and because Qin Zheng's personality is cold and decisive, it will not change easily as soon as the words come out, yes, these eight people have never had one reaction to Qin Zheng's orders, that is, obedience, and Qin Zheng's orders have never appeared, they have a little disobedience!

Although he was surprised, Qin Zheng also knew that Qin Li and Qin Ren all knew the importance and depth, if it wasn't something extremely important, it wouldn't be like this, so after being surprised, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Li still bowed down, and when he heard the question above his head, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he reported back: "The two lowly officials were ordered to go to Anyang Mansion on an errand and arranged for people to secretly escort them, but when the lowly officials came back from Pegasus, they received a news that Lin Niangzi also came on the road to the north one day earlier than the lowly ones...... The lowly officials have paid close attention along the way, and there is news in Zhongyi Town and Eighteen Mile Shop, but after leaving Eighteen Mile Town, there is no news......"

Speaking of this, Qin Li only felt that an extremely strong cold intent was silently spreading from above his head, even he and Qin Ren were a little unbearable, and secretly glanced up, Qin Li continued: "Judging from the news along the way, Lin Niangzi and her party should gallop quickly, and it stands to reason that they should arrive at Huairong one step earlier than the two of them!" ”

Speaking of zuihou, Qin Li and Qin Ren were almost suffocated by the powerful cold coercion, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the extremely strong cold coercion to dissipate, and then he heard a faint command: "Got it, go!" ”

Qin Li and Qin Ren were both a little stunned, they didn't know why the general was sending them down in a moment without even giving them an order, just now when the general was still exuding such a strong anger?

However, although they were puzzled in their hearts, the two of them didn't dare to do anything more against each other, and they didn't even dare to make a small gesture of looking at each other, and almost at the same time as the command fell, they bowed down and bowed together, and withdrew from the big tent in response!

Out of the big tent, Qin Li and Qin Ren glanced at each other, and they all saw doubts and incomprehension in each other's eyes, but no one stopped for a moment, and quickly left the big tent of the Chinese army and went back to the tent where they camped.

Not long after they left, it was estimated that they would not be able to walk to the camping tent at all, and a call came from the big tent of the Chinese army: "Someone, General Hong Zhanpeng is here!" ”

The Chinese army on duty at the gate didn't even hesitate, and immediately raised their voices to agree and hurried away.

Qin Zheng stood behind the desk with his back on his back, facing the strategic topographic map hanging on the wall, staring at the Yanyun Mountain Range, which stretched in a line for nearly a thousand miles, his eyes were cold!

×××××××××××

Qiu Chen followed Li Zhenbei and the eight dart masters into the Yanyun Mountain Range, although there was still some undispersed fog, and the mountain road was also full of gravel and rugged, but he walked quite smoothly, and he walked until noon, not to mention that no half of the mountain bandits came out to block the road, and he didn't even meet a single figure.

Just walked to a mountain stream, the field of vision was relatively broad, and the surrounding cliffs were also slightly relaxed, Qiu Chen discussed with Li Zhenbei, rested here for a while, ate some dry food, drank saliva, and drank horses. Li Zhenbei looked around and agreed.

Everyone dismounted, Li Zhenbei was still extremely cautious, and took two dart masters to probe forward for a while, to make sure that there was no crisis lurking, and then returned, also dismounted, and rested for a while.

It was said that it was a rest, and it was only half an hour before everyone nibbled on some dry food from the flowing water in the mountain stream, and then hurriedly got on their horses and continued to move forward. In this way, he traveled all the way, until he came to a gentle hillside before dark, and then stopped to rest.

Li Zhenbei inspected again again, and then came back to explain to Qiu Chen: "This morning let the fog block the trip, and tonight I can't get out of the mountain." You can't walk at night in the mountains, and you can't light torches, so you can only rest for one night and walk again tomorrow morning. Fortunately, when I passed by here a few years ago, I knew a cave, the location is hidden, I have just gone to investigate, the cave is still there, the entrance of the cave is full of miscellaneous trees and vines, although I did not enter the cave, but I can also see that there are no traces of people and beasts entering and exiting. We're going to spend the night in a cave tonight. ”

Arrangement of the journey, Qiu Chen has always respected Li Zhenbei's arrangement unconditionally, but I heard him say that the cave is full of miscellaneous trees and vines outside the cave, and it is easy for people to handle, what about the horses? Can I get in?

She asked about this question, but Li Zhenbei hahadaxiao got up: "Lin Niangzi doesn't know, although the cave is hidden, and there are miscellaneous trees and vines, but as long as you split a road into the cave, the cave is extremely open, not to mention that there are ten of us and ten horses, even dozens of people and dozens of horses go in, and it is not crowded!" ”

As soon as Qiu Chen heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, thinking that after splitting the road, Li Zhenbei and the others were experienced and knew how to disguise their tracks, so she just had to follow.

The plan had been decided, and there was no delay, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dark, the group turned around an inconspicuous low forest under the leadership of Li Zhenbei and came to a steep cliff.

Qiu Chen didn't have to lead the horse by herself, she only followed with her hands, and what she needed to pay attention to was not only the rocks under her feet, but also the surrounding environment.

may be because she has not had the love of her parents since she was a child, and her only grandmother has limited ability, and many times, she can only rely on her own liliang to move forward; There are also many times when she needs to decide the way forward for herself...... Therefore, she has developed a habit, that is, when she arrives in an unfamiliar environment, the first thing to do is to be familiar with the surrounding environment, humanity, and customs.

In this valley where it seems that a crisis may befall at any time, in this Yanyun Mountain Range, which is known as a mountain and a village, and one step at a time, she is even more tense and vigilant all the time, and she will be optimistic about the direction of escape without taking a step.

At this time, it is no exception.

She had seen an excellent lurking place from the low woods, and then, in the midst of the vines, she saw a spring that almost no one noticed, and it was an exaggeration to say that it was a spring, strictly speaking, just a drop of water that dripped down the pinnacle, and when the water dropped, it would seep into the dense vines, and there was no trace except for a wet mark on the rock, which was not the size of a palm......

This little bit of water is inconspicuous at all, but Qiu Chen thought of a use--if you hide in this cave, with the mountain spring dripping from this stone peak, you will have drinking water, if you bring enough dry food, it is not impossible to hide in the cave for a few months!

As soon as this thought flashed, there was a reminder from the dart master in front of him: "Lin Niangzi be careful of your step, there is a pit here!" ”

Qiu Chen hurriedly gathered his thoughts, looked down at the road, and something flashed in her mind, which she ignored.

After the small pit reminded by the dart master, Li Zhenbei, who took the lead, and another dart master have begun to expand the road. Different from Qiu Chen's similar axe and knife, these people are extremely cautious and skillful, two people are holding two iron guns, and they pick one by one very skillfully, and those vines and shrubs that look dense and inseparable, are distributed to both sides, and between the two guns, a path is opened, and the people behind immediately lead the horses to follow.

The iron spear drove the road step by step, Qiu Chen followed a few dart masters step by step, and there was also someone in charge of the aftermath behind, and then restored those vines and shrubs to their original state, even if there were trampled and broken sections by horses' hooves, they were also camouflaged, so that although they could still find traces when they looked closely, they would not attract people's attention out of thin air just by passing by, or if they were not careful.

After glancing back and forth, Qiu Chen didn't worry about these anymore. When it comes to survival skills for walking and avoiding danger, these people are experts. Relatively speaking, her little knowledge of survival in the wild is equivalent to the level of kindergarten children, so don't show it prominently.

It seems that it is easy to open the road and hide, but it is actually quite difficult, because they are not moving fast.

Fortunately, the road shaded by this shrub and vine is not long, only thirty or forty meters, so after walking half a pillar of incense, the group finally entered a very secret cave before a trace of sunlight disappeared in the valley.

"Alright, everyone, wait a minute, I'll light a fire!" Li Zhenbei's voice came from the front with an echo. Then, Qiu Chen heard the click of Li Zhenbei's scythe.

"Why, why can't you fight?" Another dart master was surprised.

"When I rested at noon, I fell into the stream, but I didn't expect it to be dry at this time......" Li Zhenbei's voice was a little annoyed, and then shouted to the back, "Who else is carrying firearms?" ”

The crowd responded in the darkness, but none of them took the fire.

The special profession of a dart master is destined to have many times when they need to hide their traces, and they can't light a fire or smoke if they hide their tracks. Yes, the dart masters are good drinkers, but almost no one smokes. In order to commit a smoking addiction when it is necessary to hide, ignition exposes the tracks.

Qiu Chen silently stepped forward and said softly, "I brought velvet!" ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen took out a copper tube filled with a fountain pen in his belt, unscrewed the lid at the top, and slowly rotated, and a section of velvet flashing with a slight spark was exposed, Qiu Chen lowered his head and blew, and the sparks burned in the wind, and suddenly an orange flame rose.

"Hehe, Lin Niangzi's velvet is really delicate......," a dart master next to him couldn't help but sigh.

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, took a few steps forward with the velvet, and Li Zhenbei came up with the prepared haode torch and lit it. Soon, two torches were lit, and the jumping and shaking light of the fire illuminated the entrance of the cave, and they were able to get a first glimpse of the mysterious cave.

When they first entered the cave, they had passed through a narrow passage of about 20 meters, but now, where they were, it had suddenly opened up, and the light of the torches still could not see the stone wall at the bottom of the cave, but looked to the left and right, and could see the uneven stone wall extending to both sides. According to visual observation, the diameter of the hole in this place must be at least fifty or sixty meters, and after ten people and ten horses have entered, there is no sense of crowding and crampedness.

"Well, yes?" Li Zhenbei asked a little proudly, and got a few chuckles.

Everyone is just taking refuge for the night, and it is not spacious to settle down, and it is not comfortable to be spacious. In the summer, this cave is very damp and cold, barely overnight, and no matter how spacious it is, it will not make people feel the slightest nostalgia.

Li Zhenbei didn't care, laughed and scolded a few words in a low voice, and ordered a few dart masters to place the horses, while he called an experienced dart master, lit a torch, and walked to the depths of the cave.

Although there are no traces of people and beasts entering and exiting the cave, the cave is so deep, there is one in a thousand miles, and when they fall asleep, a snake or something crawls out, it can really be fatal!

Seeing them, Li Zhenbei took the dart master with a torch and gradually walked to the depths of the cave, at first the figures of the two could still be seen, gradually, only two jumping and burning fires could be seen, and then, the two seemed to have bypassed a boulder or something, and the two fires could not be seen...... Qiu Chen also withdrew his somewhat sour gaze, blinked, walked to Rouge's side, and took something out of the pocket of the blanket he was carrying on horseback.

When she came out of the house, for fear of arousing Liu's suspicions, she didn't prepare much to eat, and only brought out two men's clothes, which were self-defense things, as well as silver and two water bladders. Now she took out the roasted meat, braised meat, roast chicken, jerky meat, salted duck eggs, and a small packet of dried milk from the blanket one by one, which she did not take out, which she had prepared for herself to replenish her strength on the way. At this time, in front of a large group of men, and when it is time to eat a main meal, there is no need to take out this kind of small snack.

"Come, come, let's eat together!" Qiu Chen hugged a large pile of food, walked to the bonfire that had been lit, and greeted the dart masters with a smile.

"Haha, follow Mrs. Lin, the food along the way has improved!" The dart masters smiled and came over with their own bags of dry food and water bladders.

Qiu Chen shook off a wrapper, put the food on it, and beckoned everyone to take what they could eat, while she herself quietly took a few steps back, took a water bladder and two fires and came to Rouge.

Good horses are psychic, after more than two months of feeding, Rouge has already known his master, seeing Qiu Chen coming over, he put a long horse face to Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen and it against the brain, and then patted Rouge's neck, Rouge was quite psychic and lay down, Qiu Chen also came over, sat on the ground next to Rouge's neck, one hand burned, the right hand to Rouge, the left hand to himself, one person and one horse ate sweet and fast. Because the rouge horse has a big mouth, after eating its own, it will unconsciously come to grab another one...... As a result, Qiu Chen was a little choked on what he ate, and he didn't delay Rouge to snatch a small half.

I pulled out the plug of the water bladder and drank water, and washed the fire in my throat down, and then I felt comfortable, and stood up again, and fed some water to the rouge with the water bladder, and the water in the water bladder was gone. Qiu Chen and Rouge shared two fires, and drank all the water in the other water bladder.

"You wait, I'll get some water and come back!"

Qiu Chen patted Rouge's head, took out a rainproof oilcloth from the jacket, whispered a word to Rouge, walked out of the cave, blew the fire fold, came to the entrance of the cave, and found the dripping flowing water. Qiu Chen already had a way, she took the oilcloth on all sides of the stone propped up, the oilcloth was facing the dripping place, forming a small pit of the oilcloth, the water on the rock dripping on the oilcloth dripping, and a small puddle was formed in a short time.

After arranging, Qiu Chen didn't stay here, and walked back with a fire. Li Zhenbei and another dart master inspector also returned, this cave is also this piece of land, and the further they go in will gradually narrow, after they go around the boulder, they will soon come to the end, there is nothing in it except damp and slippery moss. Li Zhenbei also deliberately checked the moss on the stone walls by himself to make sure that there were no traces of damage, so he really felt relieved.

After Qiu Chen came back, he went over and said a few words to everyone, then folded back with the empty baggage, and sat down again relying on the rouge, and the baggage was spread under her. Not only that, but as she was going to sleep, she took off a sheepskin that she had laid on the saddle during the day and wrapped it around herself, curled up and leaned against the warm body of rouge, and closed her eyes.

Every night, whether it is camping in the wilderness or staying in the inn, Li Zhenbei will arrange someone to be on duty at night, because Qiu Chen is not worried, the fatigue of the day, and he can't wash it like in the inn to soothe and soothe it, the aches and pains and extreme exhaustion make her tired, and she fell asleep after closing her eyes next to rouge.

It was a good night's sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, the cave was still dark, but Qiu Chen could already hear the chirping of birds at the entrance of the cave. Come to think of it, even if there is no dawn outside, it is still dawn.

She stood up lightly, rubbed her sore neck and back, and waited for her to continue her activities, when the dart master on duty at night had already spoken: "Lin Niangzi? ”

"What time is it?" Qiu Chen agreed, felt out the velvet and blew it, and slowly walked in the direction where the sound came from. The dart masters were also exhausted, lying on the ground horizontally, and Qiu Chen had to be careful with his feet as he walked, avoiding his outstretched arms or legs.

The dart master on night watch Qiu Chen stumble over, also stood up, took out the torch that was resting beside him, and lit it with the velvet in Qiu Chen's hand, and the space suddenly lit up. By the light of the fire, Qiu Chen recognized that the person on duty at night was a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old dart master surnamed Chen, who seemed to be called Chen Dayou, with a simple and simple personality.

"Lin Niangzi, you wait here, I'll go outside the cave to see, it's dawn or call the brothers to hurry as soon as possible, get out of this ghost place, it's not too late to rest!" Chen Dayou handed the torch to Qiu Chen and said.

"You wait!" Qiu Chen said, squatted down and found a few dry branches that were brought in last night and lit them, and handed the torch in his hand to Chen Dayou, "Shine on the torch!" ”

Chen Dayou smiled innocently, but he was not polite, took the torch, stepped over from a dart master who was sleeping soundly, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Qiu Chen silently wrapped the sheepskin on his body and sat down next to the fire.

Looking at the jumping bright firelight, Qiu Chen silently calculated: If there is no accident today, he will be able to walk out of Yanyun Mountain. Out of Yanyun Mountain, drive the horse gallop, and you can reach Huairong in one day. Liao Hai said that the second brother Yang Shumeng, Lin Xu, Junshu, and Chengzi are all in Huairong, and she can meet the four of them when she arrives in Huairong. When the time comes, I will understand the situation, if I want to steam wine utensils and steam wine, a few of them should be able to get out quickly, if there are other reasons...... Not to mention, it is also confirmed that there is an 'acquaintance' of Hong Zhanpeng, even if there is no acquaintance, she will definitely be able to come up with a way!

She'll definitely be able to figure out a way to take those four people home. Absolutely!

He was secretly cheering himself up, when he heard the silent side of the cave, and suddenly there was the sound of bones rolling stones.

Earthquake!

It's not just that Hyundai has just experienced several major earthquakes, but when she heard the sound of stones, the first thought that came to her mind was this!

Qiu Chenhuo stood up suddenly, but immediately, she calmed down.

If it is an earthquake, it is not just the sound of a stone rolling, and it is not too big to listen to the sound of a stone, whether it does not roll or does not make such a crisp sound when it rolls.

So, what hit the stone and made it roll?

Now in the cave, except for the Chen dart master who had just gone to investigate outside the cave, she was the only one who was awake, and everyone else was sleeping soundly, because there were people on duty at night, these dart masters who fell asleep were extremely heavy and extremely relieved.

By the way, and ten horses. Maybe the horse moved its hooves, or maybe it was just the horse flicking its tail......

After thinking about it, Qiu Chen still took out a burning pine branch from the fire, held it in his hand as a torch, and walked in the direction of the stone rolling. Walking past the sleeping dart masters, and walking forward a dozen or so steps, Qiu Chen suddenly stopped. She suddenly realized that the direction she was walking was not where the horses gathered, and that the angle was a little skewed, and that she was walking in this direction, passing diagonally past the horses.

She stood still, silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards the horses. Maybe she made a mistake in her direction, but she should see if there are any loose stones where the horses are!

However, before she could get to the horse, there was a sudden 'poof' sound from behind her side, followed by a slight hum!

It's a hum, and it's a human voice, not an animal.

Qiu Chen's foot was still hanging in the air, but her body froze suddenly, and a sense of coldness instantly rushed up from her heels, climbed up her back, and made her feel cold all over!

There were still people in the cave, and people besides her and the dart masters!

Stiffening his body, Qiu Chen felt that his neck was stiff, as if he turned his head to look, but he couldn't make the corresponding movements at all.

After easing her emotions slightly, Qiu Chen was finally able to move, but she did not take the liberty to inspect the situation herself, but ran to the side of the dart masters.

Just now she walked over and walked out, she tried to relax her hands and feet as much as possible, and barely made any noise, so those dart masters were still sleeping soundly. But when she ran in a panic, the footsteps became uncontrollably heavy, and the echo of the cave itself was amplified several times, so that before she could run over, Li Zhenbei and the other two dart masters had already jumped up.

As they jumped, several people already held their weapons in their hands. People like them, even when they sleep, they have a sword on their pillows!

"Mrs. Lin?" Jumping up, Li Zhenbei also saw Lin Niangzi who was running away, because Qiu Chen was still holding a torch in his hand, although the firelight shook badly because of her running, it did not delay Li Zhenbei to recognize people at a glance.

"Lee, Lee!" When Qiu Chen heard Li Zhenbei's voice, the fear and nervousness in his heart eased a lot, but his pace did not slow down, but he ran a few steps faster, came to Li Zhenbei's approach, lowered his voice and said, "Over there, there seems to be someone over there, I heard the movement just now!" ”

Li Zhenbei was also taken aback when he heard this, and quickly looked back at the two old dart masters beside him, the three of them nodded, and Li Zhenbei reached out to take the torch in Qiu Chen's hand: "Lin Niangzi, you can wait here with peace of mind, our brothers will go and see!" ”

When Qiu Chen was speaking, she also pointed out the direction to Li Zhenbei and the others. Li Zhenbei and several dart masters also thought of it for the first time, when they inspected the cave last night, they only cared about going deeper into the cave, but they did not inspect the sides of the cave. Because, when they entered the cave, they all saw that the cave was uneven, but it was still neat and tidy with stone walls, and subconsciously regarded this open stone cave as a safe place, with smooth walls and no hiding place. But he ignored that even a half-meter-high protruding rock could hide a person, not to mention, there may be gaps in the stone walls of the cave, or even more hidden small holes!

Qiu Chen had calmed down a lot by this time, she nodded, and stood by the fire steadily.

After such a movement, the nine sleeping dart masters had already woken up, a few jumped up and were on guard, and two or three stood around Qiu Chen, protecting her tightly in the middle.

"I've seen the light of day outside...... Chen Dayou walked in with a smile, and then he saw the guarded look in the cave, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Hey, you're all up?" ”

An older dart master called out to him, "Dayes! ”

Jiang Dayou is honest and simple, but he is definitely not stupid, he is so stupid that he can't survive at all!

Hearing this, combined with the situation he saw, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't say anything more, hurried over, and a dart master whispered: "Just now Lin Niangzi said that I heard movement over there......

Chen Dayou nodded, and without making a sound, he stood on the side of the crowd, and together with everyone, he walked towards Li Zhenbei and the three of them who were holding torches and walking towards the side of the stone cave.

Soon, there was another muffled snort from there, and everyone's hearts were in shock. Sure enough, there are people!

However, surprisingly, after the muffled snort, there was no sound, including the expected fight or other ......

Could it be...... A possibility flashed through Qiu Chen's heart, and then he shivered!

Her gaze subconsciously swept over the dart masters around her, looking at these fierce or strong men, although they lived a life of licking blood with knives, but in general they were still a group of kind people. They shouldn't be as vicious and murderous as she thought. They shouldn't be killed with a knife without asking!

Sure enough, Li Zhenbei and the three of them did not disappoint her, and it didn't take long for the three of them to turn back, but they also brought back a black fluttering 'thing'!

"Mrs. Lin, uh, you come and show her!" Although Li Zhenbei's words were not an order, there was no room for negotiation.

Qiu Chen blinked, and in his confusion, his movements were a little slow, and Li Zhenbei hurriedly explained: "It's a woman!" Fainted......"

Oh, I see!

Qiu Chen suddenly understood.

She didn't care about it at this moment, how could there be a woman hidden in such a remote and hidden cave, she only knew that this woman was alive, a life, and she should lend a hand and rescue her.

Qiu Chen walked over, took the torch in Li Zhenbei's hand, and approached the humanoid on the ground to take a look. I don't know how Li Zhenbei saw it, anyway, she held the torch and watched for a long time, and then she saw a person wrapped in a dirty and tattered blue dress that couldn't be seen in color, and her hair was also unkempt and distangled, which not only covered her head and face, but also covered most of her shoulders that were exposed because of the torn clothes (forbidden words)!

There is no beauty in the exposed shoulders, not to mention the dirty, but also thin skin and bones, collarbones, shoulder blades, and shoulder bones can almost be seen at a glance...... Qiu Chen suspected that if he took off this person's clothes, he would be able to see a skeleton specimen wrapped in skin.

She reached out and touched the artery on the side of her neck, and the warmth and faint pulsation of the tentacle made her secretly relieved.

You don't need to look at anything else, just look at the skinny appearance, and you can roughly guess that this person has been hungry for a long time. Then, Qiu Chen held the torch and looked up and down, except for being dirty or dirty, there were no obvious scars.

Raised his eyes and said to Li Zhenbei: "It's still alive!" I guess I'm faint from hunger......"

Li Zhenbei nodded, turned around and instructed the dart masters: "Clean up, go out to eat dry food and go on the road!" The dart masters saw that they were so half-dead, and no one was interested, so they agreed, and began to busily pack up their few personal salutes.

Qiu Chen looked at the people who were still lying there silently, and also walked to the rouge, picked up the sheepskin on his body and the burden on the ground, and stuffed it into the blanket. Put it on the horse's back, and then stand up with Rouge on the back......

Then she suddenly remembered the tarpaulin that she had placed at the entrance of the cave to catch the water, and the thought that flashed when she first saw the droplets—and she thought that with the water seeping out of the cracks in the stones, she could hide in the cave and live for a few more days...... So, is this person alive until they come because of those droplets?

Qiu Chen thought about it, so he hurried to the entrance of the cave and found the piece of oilcloth he had laid, and found that enough water had accumulated on the oilcloth to fill a water bladder. She roughly estimated that a water bladder could hold about 500 milliliters and 600 milliliters of water. Five or six hundred milliliters of water can be stored overnight, and with this water, it is enough for a person to drink and survive for a while.

After being silent for a moment, Qiu Chen still carefully pulled the four corners of the tarpaulin, carried the water back, and carefully put it into the water bladder. Putting the oilcloth away, Qiu Chen carried a water bladder and came to the person again.

Holding the man's head in one hand and holding a water bladder in the other, he put it to the man's mouth and slowly fed her the water...... Fortunately, after some of the water trickled down the corners of his mouth and cheeks into his neck, the man seemed to be more or less conscious, and then began to swallow, drinking about a glass of water one by one, Qiu Chen stopped feeding the water.

Putting down the person who couldn't see his face clearly and didn't know his identity, Qiu Chen got up and said to Li Zhenbei: "Li Darttou, what should I do with this person?" ”

Li Zhenbei was also a little irritable, frowning and said, "Our itinerary is urgent......

Qiu Chen shook his head: "Let's take her, take her out of the valley, give her something to eat, maybe we can save her life." ”

Li Zhenbei stared at Qiu Chen for a while, then looked down at the person who was lying on the ground and still didn't respond, and then nodded reluctantly for a while.

They often go out, they have seen beggars on the roadside, and in the year of famine, there are many more people who have fled from the famine than this, and they will not be able to pay attention to it at all. When he saw this person, he just made sure that there was no harm to them, and if there was no harm, he didn't bother to care. didn't give her a knife, they already have the heart to do good, and they don't want to do evil.

At Qiu Chen's insistence, Li Zhenbei arranged for Chen Dayou to carry the woman out of the cave. The people found a water source, began to eat dry food and water, and prepared to go on the road. Qiu Chen asked Chen Dayou to help her carry the woman to the water's edge, Qiu Chen took a cloth towel and moistened it, helping the woman wipe off the stains on her face and hands little by little.

After washing his hands, although he was thin, he no longer looked like a swarthy chicken paw. In addition to being very thin, the hand shape is actually very good!

She brushed the woman's unkempt hair and scrubbed the dirt off her face with a cloth towel. The stains and dirt were wiped off little by little, and gradually, a face with a very good outline appeared. If it weren't for the fact that she was so thin that she was out of shape, her eye sockets were deep, and her cheeks were sunken, this woman's appearance would be pretty good!

If he was still a dirty humanoid just now, seeing such a thin but still beautiful face at this moment, Qiu Chen inevitably felt more sympathy and pity.

This woman should not be very old, and even, judging by her appearance and shape, she should only be a half-sized girl in her teens.

Such a little girl, I don't know how she got to such a thief's den in the Yanyun Mountain Range, how she escaped into that cave, and with what kind of tenacity she was able to survive only by the ticking spring water......

Avoiding the gaze of those dart masters, Qiu Chen took off the dirty clothes on the woman's body again, roughly scrubbed her body, and took another set of men's clothes for her to wear, but her hair was too late to wash, so she had to still let it be scattered.

After that, Qiu Chen endured the awkwardness, chewed a piece of fire, fed the little girl a few mouthfuls, and fed a few mouthfuls of water. This little girl's will to survive is particularly strong, whether Qiu Chen feeds her the chewed fire or feeds her water, she swallows very hard, and there is almost no waste!

This couldn't help but make Qiu Chen feel more respectful in addition to sympathy and pity! A tribute to life that has nothing to do with identity, poverty, good or evil, just a tribute to life!
