Chapter 168: It won't be long before it happens
"Why can't I understand this map?" Gu Nan's face is not very good-looking, she can't eat hot food and can't recognize the way, she is unlucky today.
She regretted a little, when she came out of Xianyang City that day, she should have brought a few guys who knew the way.
"Brother Hei, you said that you are drawing like this, are you going straight?"
Gu Nan leaned over Brother Hei's back, put the map in his hand on Brother Hei's face, and pointed to a road and asked.
"Hmph." Brother Hei rolled his eyes and fanned his ears, with an expression that he had nothing to say to Gu Nan.
"Hey, what kind of expression are you, do you understand it or not?"
"Hmph."
One person and one horse were chatting hotly, but Brother Hei suddenly moved his nose and stopped.
Gu Nan also seemed to notice something, raised his head, and looked in a direction in the distance.
Over there, it should be right behind this forest, and it smells of blood.
It's very light, probably washed away by the rain.
"Brother Black." Gu Nan patted Brother Hei's neck: "Go and take a look." ”
Brother Hei didn't say much, and walked over there with his hooves.
The forest was not large, and it took only a few moments to walk through.
Outside the forest was the ruins of a village, which had been set on fire, and most of the houses in the village had been burned down, and the blackened wood had fallen to the ground in all directions.
A few birds stopped on top of the broken wood pecking something, and when they saw someone coming, they flapped their wings and flew away.
The bodies lay in the houses, on the roads, everywhere, and at a cursory glance, there were probably a hundred people, most of them with stab wounds.
There were still pools of water left over from the previous night's rain, and the village was silent.
Brother Hei's hooves stepped on a pool of water, stepping on the calm water, and the water splashed.
Gu Nan rode on Brother Hei's body and looked at the surrounding scene, she probably knew what was wrong.
She had seen this situation many times over the years, either from the rebels who had escaped from the battlefield and plundered, or by bandits in the mountains.
Gu Nan looked around, there was no anger in his eyes, and there was no sadness, he just shook his head, grabbed the reins of Brother Hei, and prepared to leave.
In this world, no one will take care of such a small village, and if it is robbed, it will be robbed, and no one can spare much energy to take care of it.
There was a sudden sound from the room on the side, Gu Nan turned around and saw an unkempt child sitting in a half-collapsed room, looking at Gu Nan in horror, or rather, at the corner where her legs were holding her legs.
Gu Nan looked at the child for a while, seemed to sigh, and jumped off Brother Hei's back.
He didn't take two steps towards the child, and he let out a strange cry, as if he was warning Gu Nan.
Without going in again, he took out a few pieces of dry food from his bosom and put them in his arms on a broken wooden board in front of the house.
Glancing at the child, he walked back to Brother Black, rolled over on its back, and walked back down the road.
Brother Hei didn't say anything more this time, and walked away silently.
Gu Nan lay on Brother Hei's back and quietly held the map in his hand.
But the eyes did not fall on the map.
Half-ringing, muttering to himself.
"It'll pass, it won't be long."
This troubled world will eventually pass.

Sinzheng, South Korea.
A young man sat by the window upstairs and read a short book in his hand.
Wearing a luxurious purple robe, with a bright jade hanging from his waist, he is a handsome son.
From time to time, I picked up the cup in front of me and took a sip, a leisurely look.
The drinkers and diners in the hall downstairs were also drinking and chatting with each other, and several women were sitting beside them.
Apparently this place is a land of flowers and willows.
"Hey, have you heard, King Han's military salary has been robbed." A drinker looked at his companion, probably because he had drunk the wine, his face was red, and he looked a little dizzy.
"King Han's military salary has been robbed?" The companion was startled, and hurriedly lowered his voice.
"Which thief is so bold?"
"Yes." The drinker who spoke first smiled smugly and mysteriously held up his glass.
whispered word by word: "It's not a little thief from any family." ”
"I heard that it rained heavily last night, and the military salary melted away in the rain so plainly, and there was no trace."
"Then the soldiers guarding the salaries were attacked by ghost soldiers again, and it was the ghost soldiers who were haunted by their ghosts."
"This, ghost soldiers? It's too bizarre to say it, and I can't believe it. ”
"I don't believe it either, but I heard that those soldiers saw it with their own eyes, and that so much gold was gone in the rain, what else do you think it could be?"
"I think?"
"I think it's man-made."
The son, dressed in a fancy costume, sat by the window and listened to the gossip below, shook his head, and continued to look at the book in his hand.
Gossip, this kind of thing, it's everywhere.
The boy picked up the glass and brought it to his lips, and smiled.
However, I also think that things are done by people.

Xinzheng.
In front of King Han's palace, the soldiers standing in front of the palace gate stretched their waists, or it won't be long before they change shifts. The matter of guarding the palace is not a beautiful difference, but at least it is an idle errand.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the distance, and the man was leading a black horse behind him.
Dressed in a white robe, with a hat on top of his head, he couldn't see his appearance and figure clearly, and a black sword with his inconspicuous appearance hanging from his waist. Walk towards the palace gate.
"Stop." Several soldiers stepped forward, and the long ges in their hands were put together, blocking the man's path.
"In front of it is the land of the palace, can there be passage?"
The man stopped, and the black horse behind him had a scar on his eye, which looked quite fierce.
In the middle of the ring, the man took out a sign from his bosom.
"I am an envoy of the Qin State, and I want to see the King of Han, please let me know."
The soldier took the sign and couldn't see the material, but it was quite heavy in his hand. They looked at each other a few times, handed the sign back, and said to the man.
"Wait."
He said and retreated.
After about a while, a man in armor who looked like a general walked out and stood in front of the man and saluted slightly.
"Duty, sir, don't blame me."
"Nothing."
"I don't know sir, can you give me a look?"
After taking the sign and looking at it carefully, the man in the armor robe nodded and waved behind him, and the soldiers on either side stepped out of the way.
He also let out a body: "Please also ask Mr. to come with me first." ”
The two left, leaving the soldiers together.
"The envoy of the Qin State is coming, have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it."
"But it sounds like a woman."
"Think about it, I think you're thinking about women and going crazy."
"Hahahaha."

Someone asked what the sword grid was, well, it was the handguard on the hilt. Then don't quarrel because of changing hundreds and getting married, sweating, in fact, it's just two different points of view, some people will accept the point of view, some people won't accept it, and everyone is not happy to argue too much about this, so it's not good, just smile and pass. I'll try to do as much as I can during the winter vacation, thank you.
