Prologue Chapter 58 Ancient Secret Realm II
Hearing the sound of bowstrings, several vigilant men took out their weapons, lifted the tent curtains and rushed out. Unfortunately, it is located in the area of the campfire, and it is dark all around. Before the enemy's position could be determined, several feathered arrows fell from the sky one after another. Straight into the grass, only the arrows trembled. Someone subconsciously looked up at the sky, and the experienced one hurriedly touched a shield and raised it.
Raised the shield in a hurry, but exposed his body to the shooter. Su Mei and Zhang Ziling fired a bow and a crossbow at the same time, and two more people were thrown to the ground, crying. The rate of fire of the compound crossbow is too slow, and Zhang Ziling is winding. The battlefield has become a performance moment for the Soviet Union, only seeking the speed of fire but not the accuracy, round after round of arrows splashed past, the figures that emerged from the camp were thrown down like cutting wheat, several tents also suffered a few arrows, and the people who were shot in their sleep were wrapped in tents and cried and rolled up, and the camp was in chaos.
The Yellow River Eye was afraid that there would be no head to fish, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious. I saw a figure running out of the camp, the sapper shovel in his hand was thrown out of his hand, throwing and killing is one of the functions of the sapper shovel, and the mechanical calculation was just right when designing, only to see the sapper shovel spin in the air, and the sharp side blade just fell on the abdomen of the person, cutting the entire abdominal cavity from top to bottom, and a large lump of internal organs fell on the grass with blood hulala. The man dragged the mass of things for two more steps, and slowly came to a standstill. His eyes protruded from his sockets, and the corners of his mouth trembled, but he couldn't make a sound, obviously terrified of the impending death.
Suvin was faster and rushed into the camp first. The two shooters, fearing that they would injure him by mistake, immediately stopped. Even so, Su Wen could only stand still, and there was no one in the camp who could start. Seeing the wounded men crying fiercely, he couldn't help but hesitate. Huang He took the opportunity to rush into the camp and danced with a knife on his eyebrows. The blade is sharp, and the person is generally dismembered by chopping melons and vegetables, and he does not forget to pick the soft part of the joint to cut the knife, for fear of breaking the knife.
When Zhang Ziling saw him killing like a demon god, he was terrified in his heart, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Stay alive!" Only then did the Yellow River stop, but he saw that there were only stumps and broken arms on the ground. Don't talk about living mouths, you can't even spell out a complete person. I had to scratch my head and laugh...
Su Wen couldn't help trembling when he saw a tent rolling on the ground, walked over and kicked it, and shouted in a low voice: "If I don't kill you, come out." β
The tent rolled around on the ground, but no one could come out. Su Wen saw that an arrow had been inserted in the tent, and the shaft of the arrow had been crushed. He stepped forward and stepped on the tent and shouted, "Don't move." "Gently cut the tent open with the blade of a gun, and two people rolled out of it. A young man has not a single strand, but he has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, fair skin, staring at Su Wen with frightened eyes, and an arrow tip penetrates through his chest, although he is not dead, he can't live when he sees it.
The other was a woman. He is about thirty years old, with a demonic eye painting, a plump body, and fair skin. Apparently a long-lived character. The man may have been a little shy when he saw the tent suddenly being peeled open. He glanced down at the ground. But he saw pools of blood all over the ground, and the remains of severed limbs were scattered everywhere. gasped, a strong smell of blood rushed to his nose, and he couldn't help the blood surging and fell to the ground and vomited.
Presumably, these two men were grinding their ears and temples, doing blissful deeds. But I was really lost by an incomprehensible feather arrow.
Although the Yellow River is majestic, it is slow to develop, and it has a vague longing for the affairs of men and women. He has never seen this charming mature human body, not to mention that when she vomited, her hands and knees were on the ground, and a round white and greasy buttocks were placed in front of her, and she couldn't help but stare at her eyes. Su Wen saw that his body and face were covered with blood, and his face was hideous and terrifying, afraid that he would do something ugly under his impulse. He shouted to him to go away first, but Huang He was obedient and turned around and left the camp three times in one step. The woman probably heard the shout of Liukou, and as soon as she held back her vomiting, she raised her head and said to Su Wen: "Don't kill me... I'll say everything. Su Wen nodded to her, motioned for her to put on some clothes, and escorted her out of the camp.
On the way back, Su Wen was quite puzzled, why didn't anyone come over after the battle was over?
Walking to the edge of the woods, I saw Zhang Ziling holding a tree trunk with one hand, bending over and retching from time to time, presumably emptying his stomach and intestines. Tang Ruirui was patting him on the back and asked, "Why did you suddenly vomit?
Su Mei was far away, leaning against the trunk of the tree and playing with her hair, when she heard this, she turned her head and said with a narrow face: "Learn smarter next time." The place where the Yellow River fought is hell and must not be seen. It's disgusting. Hey... Belch... It's hard to think about. "I probably thought of something, and I couldn't help but retch.
Tang Ruirui asked, "Is it so terrifying? How many people are on the other side? Why did you finish the fight so quickly?"
Huang He squatted on the ground and fiddled with the sapper shovel, and when he heard her questions, he hurriedly replied: "I haven't caught anyone killed, where do I know how many people, or I'll count them!"
Su Mei held back her nausea, looked at Huang He with a disgusted expression and said, "Huh... You made a flesh mill, and you still want to put it together?... Aren't you disgusting?"
"Hey... I won't just count heads, right?" After speaking, Huang He wiped the blood on his face, and it didn't look so hideous and terrifying.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Su Wen saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was as calm as ever, and he couldn't help but feel a little creepy. The cold eyes of Qi Ren Demon suddenly appeared in his mind, and his eyes also showed the feeling of seeing life like a mustard. I thought of the murderous maniac who was caught in the news, and he also looked down on life and death with a calm to weird expression. I can't help but think deeply, here is called human demons, and the earth is called murderers. Why are they so similar? Why are these people different?
Without waiting for Huang He to take a step, the captured woman rushed to say, "There are twelve of us, nine in the camp. There were also three people in the old city where two hills passed. Su Wen and Su Mei glanced at each other and nodded without a trace.
......
Although no one knows how to torture to extract confessions, this woman is either extremely smart or frightened, and she will never challenge Su Wen's violent temper if she asks questions.
Another campsite was found, and Su Wen escorted Tang Ruirui to the woods to collect some branches. In the dark night, Tang Ruirui sighed and said: "Summer is actually very pitiful, don't blame her." β
Su Wen couldn't figure out what she meant, and was thinking about the "demon" again, and said absentmindedly: "Hmm, why do I blame her... Summer is quite pitiful, unlucky. β
Tang Ruirui suddenly stopped, her eyes reflected the moonlight, and said solemnly: "Su Xiashi, do you know? She had no choice but to leave you, you are a ranger, and the four seas are your home." We all envy you, you go with the wind, you follow your nature, see all the things in the world, and remove the great injustices in the world. But she is just a child of the rivers and lakes, hoping to find a branch to perch on, even if it is a small place to stay. I talked to her for a long time, and she told me, "There are many kinds of women, just as there are many kinds of flowers." Peony and dog's tail flowers are both flowers, but they are not the same. Storytellers always praise the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes for their chivalrous deeds, killing the rich and helping the poor, and slaying grievances with a sword. But most of the heroines are more like the eagle dogs of the rich. They are not all bad people, nor are they good people, sometimes driven by greed, they will fall into the caravan attacked by demon beasts, and even plunder the fortress that takes them in, and then blame the demon beasts...... Most of the time they only care about themselves. For money, or because of loneliness, they will also sell their bodies when they are walking darts or guarding. β
Su Wen hadn't talked to Xia about this, and he actually didn't know how the civilians here lived, but on the way together, the indescribable voices in the tent came and went every night, and he couldn't sleep well. This is also the reason why he always stays on the top of the beacon with Summer, but he doesn't know that there is a story in it. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Why do you work as a guard in the summer? This should be considered a dart, right? Shouldn't it be a man?"
Tang Ruirui smiled, feeling that Su Wen was a little naΓ―ve, and said to him: "What is the difference between men and women? Summer deserves sympathy, but she's just as dangerous as her guards. She was originally a simple ordinary citizen, and never left the confines of her city. Until one day, Lao Liu Tou gave her a bow and arrow. Sue her and her partners, no one can teach you to be farmers or herders. When you grow up, you have to earn your own money to support yourself. Follow me to distant lands, where there is wealth and honor. With no choice in the summer, she and her friends join the caravan and start to dart, becoming the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. Some of the companions didn't even have any weapons at first, so they found a stick and sharpened it into a rudimentary spear and set out on the trade routes.
"In this line, it is more about fathers and sons, brothers, friends and relatives embarking on the journey together. Most of them have been engaged in this business for generations, or they are tired of living the life of farmers and herdsmen, and then they have listened to scripts and operas, and when they set out, they dream of witnessing wonders and winning wealth and women. Summer is fun, and she thinks that darts are just as beautiful as poetry and distance. β
Tang Ruirui was silent for a while, and said: "If you have walked a lot, you will naturally taste all kinds of tastes in the world. β
At this time, Su Mei saw that the two had not returned this time, so she came over. Tang Ruirui greeted her and continued: "For some people, a weapon fight or a monster attack will lose their faith or life, and the lucky ones continue to persevere. Year after year, until his luck is exhausted, people will always come to that day, Summer has seen his father lose his son, and he has seen his partner's being shot into a hedgehog with a bow and arrow, and he has been begging Summer to save him until he dies in Summer Summer's arms. In the summer, I was lucky, and the caravan that had been staying in Lao Liutou always did some legitimate business. Although he was injured all the way, fortunately, he didn't lose his life. You must know that some merchants are ostensibly traders, but in fact they are smugglers of salt or weapons, and they will be slaughtered if they are discovered by the officials and soldiers, and they will be plundered when they encounter homeless people, not to mention encountering monsters when they avoid the officials and soldiers walking the path."
"If you want new equipment and money, you have to kill yourself in the summer so that you can be eligible to take it from the corpse. Fortunately, she hasn't started stealing from the living yet. She has been through several battles, and luckily, her boss is a big merchant and she wins every time. She had seen her companions drag the captured heroine into the tent, sometimes even in front of her, in broad daylight. She had watched the women stripped naked, and she had heard the wails of the daughters of women or commoners. β
Summer said that she didn't want to look around her one day and find that all her friends and relatives had passed away, surrounded by strangers, wandering around and not knowing where she was, not knowing how to get home, or even where her home was..... Summer also said that she believes that all suffering will eventually end. Because there will always be a day when --- encounter demon beasts. β
This is somewhat different from the idyllic songs of the border city in Su Wen's impression. Sumi asked, "How old was she when she started trading?"
"Ah, you're about the same age as you are now," replied Tang Ruirui. "She has been helping at home for a few years, and the family is poor, and no one has to propose marriage. There are no workshops in the small town of Chen Guo, so you can only go out and walk the rivers and lakes. She initially had several companions, one of whom died of willow disease. One was killed by a random arrow. A few others wanted to earn more money and joined the caravans of the smugglers. Because she is related to Lao Liutou, although she doesn't have much money, she is safe. Just stay in that caravan all the time. Until that day, I met someone from the Qi family. β
Tang Ruirui looked at Su Wen and Su Mei, the two naturally stood side by side, the holy moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, chivalrous and beautiful, a good pair. I can't help but feel unfair for Su Wen, because one day, the cruel reality will break up these two people. Zhang Ziling's sudden appearance made reality enter a dream day. couldn't help but remind him through the summer: "Su Shaoxia, now you should understand the choice of summer, right? General Le treats her very well, and there is a place in Xinsu." Of course, I'm not saying that you're bad, but if you have the opportunity, I advise you to buy a property first.
It's better to make another name for it. Otherwise..."Tang Ruirui glanced at Su Mei, leaving room for Su Wen's imagination...
What kind of ghost story is this telling? I have been depressed for years because I can't afford to buy a house, and I'm still on the verge of falling out of love. Come to an alien, because not having a house directly disqualified me from falling in love, although I don't want to fall in love either. Su Wen secretly held back the fire in his belly.
The wind rustled through the taiga, and the howl of wolves could be heard faintly in the distance, and the restless whispers of birds in the woods.
Su Mei was inexplicably hostile to every woman who approached Su Wen, so she specially followed. After hearing these words, he relaxed his vigilance against Tang Ruirui. But thinking that Su Wen and the woman named Summer had such a trouble, he naturally spoke politely, and said coldly: "If you like it, you will fight for it, if you get it, you will cherish it, and if you miss it, you will forget it, and the things in the world will barely be satisfactory after all..... After speaking, he turned around and walked away.
Tang Ruirui didn't know where to offend this killing god, and she was a little overwhelmed. asked, "What's wrong with Su Xiangu?"
Su Wen was in a low mood and didn't want to talk or move. Tang Ruirui asked him, and he didn't know how to answer. It's not that I'm pretending to be silent, but I'm really powerless to tell......
Everyone gathered around the campfire and ate some barbecue. Su Wen spread an animal skin and lay on it to count the stars. Su Mei sat by the bonfire, bowing her head and not speaking, and Tang Ruirui didn't dare to speak. The atmosphere was a little weird. Zhang Ziling had no choice but to interrogate the captives by himself, and the two sat and stood across the bonfire. Only to find that the woman only touched a big red silk thread embroidered crane in a hurry and wrapped it around her body, her breasts were half exposed, her face was like a hibiscus, her eyebrows were like willows, and two slender and white calves were exposed under the crane.
Zhang Ziling looked her up and down, saw that she was shivering from the cold, and threw her muntjac to protect against the cold, the woman was cold and afraid, seeing him showing goodwill, she hurriedly went to pick up the muntjac with both hands, and the slim body made by the crane was just wrapped in her hands. Stretched out his hands to pick up the muntjac fur, the crane naturally opened, and he looked at it all over his eyes, seeing the crisp chest rippling, the waist was only one hand, and the buttocks were round and towering, and he couldn't help but admire the peugeot of this woman's life.
Zhang Ziling saw that she was pitiful, so he didn't rush to ask, and asked her to eat something first. secretly guessed that she might be a woman from a good family who was kidnapped, or a woman who was deceived into relieving their boredom, and she might not be able to ask for a lot of news.
The woman drank a few sips of hot soup to warm her body, although no one asked, she still consciously confessed, and the woman said: "The concubine is the third head of Hongfang, and she is also the sister of King Zhao, Princess Zhao Shu of Haiyan." I just hope that you will spare my life, and there will be a report in the future. β
This sentence startled several people, and Zhang Ziling was surprised: "You are the princess of Zhao Guohaiyan, why are you the third leader of Hongfang?"
Zhao Shu saw that these people were really good at killing people, lest they would lose their lives if they didn't agree with each other, and they would die unjustly, seeing that their words had an effect, she finally let go of her snacks and said with a sigh of relief: "The slave family was canonized as the princess of Haiyan, because my fief is rich in sea salt." Dare to ask Zhang Gongzi, do you know what kind of business Hongfang is doing?"
Zhang Ziling was a little creepy: "How do you know my name?"
Tang Ruirui saw that Su Wen did not react, and guessed that he did not understand the situation. He said in a low voice: "Hongfang is the largest salt merchant outside the government, and his business spreads all over the seven countries, so he is actually a smuggler of salt. He drove a red painting boat to and from the river, and often fought with the officers and soldiers who protected the Cao Yun. It was the largest gang in the new Soviet Union, and it left the city, and the government couldn't help them. β
Uh, isn't this the Salt Gang? The Salt Gang fought all the way from the Qin and Han dynasties to modern times, and it can be regarded as a group of ruthless people, this boss is actually a woman? Su Wen was also interested, secretly thinking that this story must be very much.
Zhao Shu didn't dare to rush to speak, and waited for Tang Ruirui to finish speaking before saying: "The concubine not only knows Zhang Gongzi, but I also know who Zhang Gongzi's maternal uncle is, I don't know if Xu Fengchang is in good health recently?"
Su Mei, who was originally silent, couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ziling. Seeing his strange expression, he couldn't help but quip: "You are a sour Confucian, you even have a great background?"
Zhao Shu saluted Su Mei and said, "The concubine has seen the county lord of Jicheng. β
Uh? Su Wen was taken aback by a little snack, and felt funny, this is too unserious, isn't it? This princess and the county lord are afraid that they don't want money to seal it casually, right? I've only been here for a few days, and I don't know a few people, and there are actually two princesses and a county lord among these people!
