Chapter 40: The City of the Underworld

Ever since they were attacked by those five strange men, the road had been flat.

Qiong'er prays every day that a random assassination gang will come and kill the two beasts around her!

However, if people are unlucky enough to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, even God refuses to hear her call, and no one has ever appeared!

The farther north went, the more cold the weather became, and Qiong'er's thin prison uniform and jacket could not cover the wind and snow at all, and every time she went on the road, her whole face began to turn blue, and her ears, nose, hands and feet showed signs of frosting, and the swollen red and purple were ugly. In addition, she was silently enduring the pain of drug withdrawal all the way, and her body was too weak to bear more wind and cold, and she slowly began to have a fever, and finally fell unconscious, so she could only stop in an inn to recuperate.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, the medical halls have already closed.

Liu San ran around, and finally found an old traveling doctor, came to the inn to diagnose Qiong'er's pulse, prescribed medicine, and poured it down, so as to save her life.

The doctor took pity on the girl's face and body with frostbite on her hands and feet, and gave her a gourd powder, which she washed and smeared with water every night before going to bed to prevent skin necrosis. She also told her to pay attention to anti-freezing and windproof when it is cold in the future, and rubbing the affected area directly with snow can also relieve swelling and itching when she has the opportunity, otherwise she will suffer every year.

Liu San was also told by the traveling doctor, the prisoner is also a human being, not to mention a little girl, he will not die well if he abuses such a weak person like this, and he will lose his children and grandchildren! The angry Liu San even muttered out of his own pocket, and bought a shabby leather jacket, a pair of replacement old boots, and even a huge rabbit skin hat for Qiong'er in the inn before continuing on the road. In fact, he was not entirely angry that the doctor did not speak well, he was also afraid that she would freeze to death and his family would suffer.

And Yue Jinsheng and the others were dressed in big fur clothes, riding tall horses in the north, and they followed the tip to eat at the point, talking and laughing all the way comfortably, not caring about the life or death of the dome at all.

Except at night, when Qiong'er was lying on the bed and vaguely felt that there were people in the room, other times she thought that she was desperate to be an illusion, and this guy actually wanted to wait for herself to freeze to death and be exhausted.

Numb day by day, Liu Sangen led forward, Qiong'er sometimes rejoices, at least this person is not bad, he doesn't beat himself, he doesn't splash himself cold water and doesn't let himself sleep. But when she turned her head and found sadly, she didn't know when she had become servile, as long as people didn't beat her, she would treat a person who only bought herself a torn leather jacket and old boots, but still led herself like an animal, as a good person.

After dragging and walking for more than three months, Qiong'er stood in the crowd and looked at a huge snow-covered earth city, Liu San rubbed his hands with some excitement, as if there was something good. The two beast cousins had already left them behind and entered the city one step ahead of schedule.

Finally, when it was their turn to enter the city, Liu San even hugged his fists to a few soldiers guarding the city gate, and then said to the strong man sitting on a chair next to him, "Brother Toulon, I, Liu San, are back again!" ”

The strong man raised his eyes and looked at them, as if he was a little surprised, "Oh, Liu San, why did you run again on a cold day?" ”

Liu San smiled bitterly twice, "Alas, the above let the prisoners be escorted, what can I do?" He gestured to the dome next to him.

Toulon glanced at the hand a few times and raised his eyebrows, "Male or female?" ”

Liu San blinked and replied in a low voice, "Female! ”

Toulon immediately stood up with interest and came to Qiong'er's side, brushed away his already felt hair, twisted Qiong'er's face and looked left and right, "Tsk, it's so ugly!" He let go of his hand and rubbed it, but there was mud, and he fanned his nose around, "This smell is choking, you can let her wash it well, and maybe it can be sold for a good price, otherwise you will lose money if you go this way!" Stretched out his hand and shook it twice at Liu Sangen.

Now in a state of blue nose and swollen face, plus Qiong'er, who has not bathed since she was exiled, is really not compatible with beautiful women now, and she was pinched and inspected like an animal, she took a step back in shame, and stayed away from this person.

Liu San was very good at getting into trouble, so he quickly took out a purse from his arms and put it in the hand of the strong man, "Alas, who likes to do this job?" Big brother didn't see it, so I came alone? There's no way to lose it! ”

Toulon turned the weight of the purse and was satisfied with this Liu San sensible, "Okay, for your sake, it's not easy, brother, I'll show you the way." I heard that there are people from the north in the city who come to hunt today, and you can catch up if you go in now, and those barbarians in the north don't care about their looks, even if they are sows, they are happy to ask for them. ”

Liu San laughed twice, looking quite treacherous, "Oh, thank you, brother!" ”

Toulon waved his hand in satisfaction, "Hurry up!" ”

Liu Sangen still bowed his hand very politely, and led the dome into the city along the special passage.

Distinguishing from the mixed races of Loulan, Yuechao, Beibei, and Southern Xinjiang near Tianliu Mountain, Qiong'er found that all the people in Yincheng were tall and big, and the figure of the strong man guarding the city gate basically represented the per capita height here.

Liu Sangen took Qiong'er along the straight and wide main street to the door of an official office, and shouted loudly, "Brother Tuhun, is the master bookkeeper here?" Liu San brought the prisoner to register! ”

A big man yawned and walked out from behind the red-painted gate, frowning and shouting, "What to shout, what to shout? In broad daylight, you don't let people get a good night's sleep! ”

Liu Sangen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with his fists, "Brother Tuhun, I'm Liu Sangen!" ”

The big man rubbed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him with some surprise, "Oh, why are you here again?" It's just over the New Year! ”

Liu San smiled bitterly and explained again, this was a chore, no one wanted to come, so he had to run by himself.

Tu Hun was also like the strong man who guarded the city gate before, and stepped forward to check the situation of the dome, "Well, it's really not very good." You tie her up here, go in with me to make a slave, and then hurry up and sell her! ”

So he was tied to the stone pier at the entrance of the yamen, and he was too tired to walk and sat on the ground in the dome, looking at the pedestrians who occasionally passed in front of him, and felt that he was at the same moment as the owners who went to the supermarket in his previous life, and tied his dog to the door of the supermarket and waited, and he almost spit out his big tongue haha twice.

But something suddenly occurred to her, and now she is unattended! Looking left and right, no one passed by, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, cut the rope around his neck, and untied the shackles on his feet with two strokes. He stood up, discerned his direction, spread his feet and ran away.

In the direction of the city gate, she had just come over, and she had been inspected by the strong man, but she was afraid that the guy would still recognize herself. The dome is going in the opposite direction, a city always has four gates, right? You can't go this way, you can go in the other direction.

And Liu San, who had completed the formalities and left the yamen, looked at the empty ropes on the ground, as well as the empty shackles, and sweated profusely, this is broken!
