In the northeast of Xiang County, in a continuous mountain, Zhao Jun, Cao Wushu and Zhao Ling walked in the mountain in embarrassment.

It has been two days since he escaped the siege of Xiangxian and entered the mountains and forests.

After entering the mountain that day, Cao Wushu and Zhao Jun quickly got rid of the officials by virtue of their extraordinary physique and speed, coupled with the complicated terrain in the mountains.

In two days, maybe the effect of the medicine was exerted, and Zhao Ling had also practiced Xingyi Quan for more than a year, and his physique was better than that of ordinary women, so he quickly woke up.

It's just that the predicament of several people has not been shaken off, and they still can't eat and sleep well. And, as they soon discovered, they seemed to be a little lost. The trails in the mountain are complex and intertwined, with cliffs in dangerous places and thorns all over the jungle in the flat areas, and it is really impossible to tell which one can get out of the mountain smoothly.

Even Cao Wuxian, who is proficient in tracking, is helpless under the unfamiliar terrain and mental malaise.

As time went on, the three of them couldn't hold their breath anymore, and finally decided to stay alone, and the other two went separately to find a way out, regardless of whether there was a result or not, they gathered at the agreed place after dark. Due to the complex terrain in the mountains and the early darkening, several people did not dare to go too far and left marks along the way.

But for a few days, there was still no result, and the terrain of this mountain was complex and steep, far beyond the imagination of the three of them.

Zhao Jun was a little speechless, the mountains and forests of the world in his previous life could not be compared with the current one at all, and now it is more like a reckless world, with dangerous mountains and high trees.

Everywhere there are steep mountain peaks, wide and deep rivers and lakes, swamps and dangerous lands everywhere, and many wildernesses have no human footprints at all. It is no wonder that the average ancients lived their entire lives, and what they saw and heard was only within a hundred miles.

As soon as it was dark that day, Zhao Jun returned to the agreed cave, and there were several small stone caves inside, although some of them were dark and untidy, but they were better than sleeping outside.

In the cave, when Zhao Ling, who stayed behind, saw Zhao Jun coming back, he immediately had a small face full of hope, and his eyes were fixed on Zhao Jun: "Brother is back, is there any harvest today?" ”

Zhao Jun shook his head indifferently and said in a low voice: "Not yet, I'll go hunt two more prey." ”

Zhao Ling's face was full of hope, and his expression dimmed in an instant, but he smiled again, and comforted Zhao Jun: "Brother, don't worry, as long as we work hard, we will definitely find a way out." ”

"Well, it's fine." Zhao Jun smiled and touched Zhao Ling's little face, but he was much thinner. The little girl is very sensible, and she is getting stronger and stronger, if she wants to change to an ordinary little daughter's house, I am afraid that she has already been driven crazy by this kind of savage-like environment.

At this moment, suddenly Cao Wuxian came back, and his face was still a little surprised.

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and asked with a little joy: "No injury, have you found a way out?" At this time, Zhao Ling also took a few steps forward, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, the life of this wild man in the mountains was really unbearable.

"Nope." Cao Wuxian shook his head and spoke.

Zhao Jun rolled his eyes, you haven't found a way out, what do you have to worry about? However, Zhao Jun didn't say much, it was really so easy to find, and he wouldn't be trapped here for so long. Zhao Ling also turned his head with a gloomy face, ready to go and pack some dry firewood, and wait for Zhao Jun to come back from hunting and barbecue the prey.

However, at this time, Cao Wuxian smiled and said, "However, I found other people in the mountains, not the officials who were chasing us." ”

Do you dare to finish the sentence in one go?

Hearing this, Zhao Jun's figure was about to come out of the mountain pass cave, but he suddenly stopped, glared at Cao Wuxian, and his eyes contained murderous aura.

Zhao Ling also looked at Cao Wuxian, wrinkled his nose and said, "Hmph, Brother Wuxian, you are so annoying." ”。

Seeing this, Cao Wuxian hurriedly took a step back and explained with a dry smile: "Hehe, didn't you have time to say this, don't be angry, haha." ”

However, looking at his expression, it was obviously deliberate.

"Tell me."

Zhao Jun shook his head a little helplessly, Cao Wuxian, this kid is not too young, why is he so fond of laughing and playing. However, his optimistic attitude in the face of adversity is something that ordinary people do not have.

Cao Wuxian was glared at by Zhao Jun, shrunk his neck in fright, and hurriedly said: "Boss, today I was looking for a way, but I accidentally found that hundreds of prisoners and laborers were guarded by the Qin army, and they are currently resting ten miles south of us, and it is estimated that they will set off tomorrow morning." ”

Losing a sentence is actually a kind of punishment, and for those who are guilty but do not die, they are sent to other places to serve their labor as hard labor. It's just that the treatment is worse than that of ordinary labor, and they will be chained and guarded, beaten and scolded at every turn, and the food is also poor.

Generally, people who serve in labor or lose type will not take the official road, but will copy the small road, and ask the government for food and grass supplies every other paragraph. The purpose of this is to make it easier to take the trail and get to the location as quickly as possible.

Of course, it is also in order not to affect the local people, and as for the happiness and hardship of the journey, it is not within the scope of the government's consideration.

Zhao Jun was stunned, he didn't expect to meet a living person here?

Then he thought, is it possible to follow them out of the mountain by chance, since they dare to walk from the mountain, there must be a guide.

However, then Zhao Jun denied it, and there must be regular Qin soldiers who are guarding the laborers, not those who are comparable to ordinary officials, and once they get close, they are likely to be discovered and hunted down as people with bad intentions. However, you can't stay far away, after all, you have to eat, drink and rest for others, and the mountains are complicated, and if you are a little farther away, you may lose them.

Obviously, Cao Wuxian and Zhao Ling also understood this problem, for a while, their faces were not too good-looking, and they were desperate to survive, but this 'life' is not so easy to get, and anyone will be in a bad mood.

At this time, Zhao Jun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and his eyes instantly radiated and said: "No injury, you can take the gold and silver to see if you can bribe Qin Jun and let us also become a servant." ”

"What? Servitude, boss, are you sure? Cao Wushu was shocked, and Zhao Ling was also incredulous.

It's too late for people in the world to avoid hard labor, how can Zhao Jun be so stupid and take the initiative to serve hard labor?

Zhao Jun looked at the two of them and explained: "I know what you think, but if not, we are afraid that we will be trapped in the mountains." They are also taking the trail, and we can find a way to escape halfway. ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces moved, and then they turned around and planned to hitchhike with Zhao Jun.

Although the escort labor is more strictly guarded and the Qin army is more formal, thinking of Zhao Jun's elusive copper nails, it is not impossible to find an opportunity to escape in the wilderness. is saying, as Zhao Jun said, they have no choice at all.

Next, after unifying opinions, Zhao Jun disguised Zhao Ling, and Zhao Ling was already dark-skinned, and he was curling his hair, so he was a very thin wild boy.

And Zhao Jun and Cao Wushu also covered up a little, although there were no portraits at this time, and it was impossible for Qin Jun to know them, but there was no big mistake in being careful.

Then early the next morning, Cao Wuxian took some of the money that Lu Wen gave to Zhao Jun and found it along the original road, the group of Qin troops and laborers who had not yet had time to set off.

There were more than 100 people in this group, most of whom were prisoners, and only a few were in hard labor. The remaining twenty or so, all of them are black-clad and black-armored, holding spears and spears, and depending on the situation, those who are working are also incidental.

The first soldier is a tall man, with rough skin and a high nose bridge, and a very shrewd complexion.

He was about to urge everyone to go on the road, when he saw a young man with a sturdy figure like a savage, walking towards him, and he immediately became alert.

"Stop, what's going on?" Suddenly, he opened his mouth and shouted in a deep voice.

At this time, other Qin soldiers and laborers also discovered the situation and couldn't help but look this way.

The person who came was Cao Wuxian, he stopped grinning, and then said: "This soldier, the younger brother is a hunter in the mountains, and he has something to inquire about the soldier." ”

Then, seeing that the faces of those Qin soldiers softened, he took a few steps forward. When those Qin soldiers saw that he was alone, and he had no weapons and was smiling, they felt that there was no threat, so they didn't stop him.

Cao Wuxian approached the head and said with a flattering smile: "The three younger brothers and sisters have been hunting in the mountains for a long time, and their parents died two or three years ago, but they haven't learned much about hunting, and their lives are very hard.

I see that you are also going out of the mountains to send to labor, although I have never been out of the mountains, but I have seen them in the mountains a few times before. As for us, we just want you to take the three of us brothers and sisters to make up the numbers and have a full meal, so that we can see the outside world. ”

Then Cao Wuxian looked at us again, as if he was afraid that others would not want it, and promised: "Don't look at us as young, but we have a lot of strength, and we will never hold you back." ”

The leader of the armor was stunned, and the few armor soldiers who surrounded him were also stunned, and there were still people who were fighting to serve in labor these years? It's appalling.

The laborers in the distance couldn't hear what Cao Wuxian said, and they all looked strange.

"These people are suspicious, what kind of villains are they?" The leader was not easy to fool, and even looked at Cao Wuxian suspiciously.

"Bring your household registration, and I'll verify it." Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to ask for it.

Cao Wuxian said with a bitter face: "Household registration, what is it?" What dynasty is it now, is it still Zhou Tianzi? When our father and mother were alive, they never went out of the mountain, I heard that it was still my grandfather's generation, out of the mountain, where did I get any household registration, or would you get one for us? I will definitely repay you in the future. ”

Cao Wuxian's face begged, and with his current image, he really looked like a wild man in the mountains, so much so that those Qin soldiers were puzzled, he was really a wild man in the mountains

The Qin soldiers next to him pulled the leader of the Qin army and walked a few steps away, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, it's always good for us to bring more people, and the labor inventory is not strict, and the three of them are easy to make friends when they get to the place, how can there be no accident on the road, if the number of people is not enough, it will be a big trouble." ”

"But it is also a crime to not check without a household registration." The head of the Qin army, 'Brother Xu', who was the leader, whispered.

The soldier next to him smiled and said: "Brother Xu, this world has just been pacified for a year, except for Guannei, this land of Qi Chu is a new country, and there are many people who have no household registration, we have arrived at the land, and it has nothing to do with us as soon as the people are handed over, and who will interrogate a group of laborers, especially the laborers sent to that place, hehe." ”

Another Qin soldier also persuaded in a low voice: "That is, we care so much, this labor is extremely important, and we have our own army to respond when we go out of the mountain, and it has nothing to do with us, and according to the degree of attention from above this time, if we really lack people, we may not be able to escape punishment by hitting up and down." ”

When Brother Xu heard this, he was suddenly a little moved, Cao Wuxian didn't hear what they said, but he saw their expressions in his eyes, and when he saw that Qin Jun was hesitating, a crying face suddenly came out, and he forced out a few tears and begged: "Please also ask a few people to be accommodating, show mercy, and give a way to live." If we don't have anything to eat, our three brothers and sisters will starve to death, so please be kind and take us in as a servant. ”

After that, Cao Wuxian bowed again and again, for fear that Qin Jun would not agree, so he starved to death in the mountains. And this time, all those laborers have heard it, and suddenly they have a wonderful expression on their faces, and their mouths are wide open, these years, there are still people crying and shouting to be servants?

Seeing this, Brother Xu, who was the leader, no longer hesitated, and suddenly said, "Okay, let's wait for you for three quarters of an hour, and you hurry back and call your brother and sister." ”

"Ah, thank you, thank you for your great kindness, I will remember this kindness, and I will repay it in the future." Cao Wuxian's expression of gratitude and inexplicability made those few ill-intentioned Qin Jun stunned and a little embarrassed.

At this time, Cao Wuxian turned around and ran away quickly, hurrying, as if he couldn't wait.

The leader of the Qin army smiled and said, once he got there, he would have little chance of surviving in the future, and he could only see the light of day for the rest of his life, and he would repay him.

However, those Qin soldiers had a much better impression of Cao Wuxian.

When Cao Wushu came back with Zhao Jun and Zhao Ling, he was not questioned much, he was earned, and the money he began to prepare was also saved. The three of them were placed in a group of servants who served normal hard labor, and they were not treated as prisoners.

It's just that on the road, those who lost the sentence were extremely pleasing to Zhao Jun and a few people, why did people who appeared for no reason be able to eat dry cakes without chains, and they had to be beaten at every turn?

It's just that they didn't dare to complain to Qin Jun, who was in charge of the armor, so they could only stare at Zhao Jun and the three of them.

There were a few fat men who were sentenced to death, relying on their large physique on the road, and they wanted to deliberately bully Zhao Jun and others, but they were stuck in Zhao Jun's arm with a copper nail, and they didn't dare to move, and they all looked at Zhao Jun with shocked expressions.

The Qin army armor also discovered the abnormality, but they really didn't see Zhao Jun make a move, and they were now in line with the principle that more things are better than less, so they didn't care about it, they just wanted to take their group of people out of the mountains as soon as possible.

Although there were local guides and plenty of food, it took Qin and Zhao soldiers a full five days to get out of the mountains.

It's just that after going out of the mountain, the three Zhao Jun wanted to find a chance to escape, but they found that the situation had changed.

It seems that their previous thoughts were too wishful thinking, and they also underestimated the importance that Qin Jun attached to this labor.

As soon as they came out of the mountain, they saw a garrison similar to a military camp outside the mountain, where thousands of Qin soldiers had gathered, and there were also many laborers from different places, constantly converging here.

Moreover, they were soon driven into this barracks-like labor cage, surrounded by many Qin soldiers.
