The cold sunlight broke through the heavy clouds, and with the slightly cold air, you could see large fields constantly emerging under the sky, even if you could still vaguely see the pieces of land in front of you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With a slight chill, the wind kept blowing on my cheeks, and it wasn't necessarily how cold it was. But what I saw was not the imaginary field, in the empty world, it seemed that even the jackdaw did not want to fly over, and the dead grass and trees were quietly and lonely rooted in such a desolate world.

All that was left was the deer that had been left on the churning ground, and there seemed to be signs that it had once been inhabited, and perhaps one or two of the houses made of straw and logs might be seen by chance, but the logs that had begun to frost in the cold might not be as good as you might think.

Even if you open the door quietly, there may not be anyone inside, and you can see the bleak scene caused by a cloud of dust.

Perhaps, as the Roman poet said, the scars of civil war are difficult to repair.

The wheels were spinning, and we weren't necessarily sitting on it, a few worn-out gauze bags on top of the thin, worn-out planks, as if they were poor peasants in the Middle Ages.

Shoes made of rags and straw shoes may not be so strong, and in such weather you can even feel the slight cold coming from under your feet, and the earth that is starting to harden slightly.

Even if you can still see the ravines caused by the wheel prints of the past, they may not be easy to step on, and perhaps it is really because no one has walked this road for too long.

The sun shone monotonously on such a world, and the small world in the middle of the two mountains seemed to be as if facing the mouth of the sea washed out by the cracked river, although some of these worlds did not crash on the shore as the sea showed, and even the trees stood alone on the ground.

The objects that were quietly waiting for the sun to shine seemed to be as long shadows as the three of them.

I walked quietly......

The man named Uncle Cheng who accompanied him and another man who had been walking for most of the day but still didn't know his name, but unlike that man, Uncle Cheng didn't have much to say along the way, but now he began to say something that seemed to be important unhurriedly.

"Our mission is simple, to grab something from the governor of a town or some other big man that can be used as a token of clearance."

It's very simple, but I understand how unrealistic such a task is.

But I didn't raise any objections.

The man next to me didn't seem to say anything, just pushed the cart silently like me.

I don't know what I'm thinking, probably a man with something on his mind, but the situation in front of me ......

"So what do you want me to do?"

The man eventually said so.

"The plan won't change much, but in the end, it's a bit of a test of your fighting ability."

"I don't think there will be too many tricks in this kind of defense, after all, this is also a small town very close to the border."

"For a moment...... When you get to the gate of the town, you do as I say. ”

"Let's just say that they fled from afar."

"With our dress, it is estimated that no matter how much we lie, it will not have too high authenticity."

“……”

The grunt of the wheels kept moving, like a slow duck.

Maybe it was from us flying down the cliff, after we didn't know how long.

It seemed to my eyes that I could finally see the buildings that seemed to have some religious significance in the two cliffs that seemed to be adjacent but had little to do with each other, and from a distance they were probably the towns they were talking about.

Maybe it's because the closer you go, the more nervous you are.

We who were still talking in the distance have begun to silence at this moment.

The sun shone on his black hooded cloak, which was almost the same as ours, reflecting a slightly vivid brilliance, and Uncle Cheng lowered his head and pushed the cart without saying anything to comfort us, probably because he was also nervous.

"Don't show your feet."

"Otherwise, these soldiers will definitely report us."

"Don't be overly aggressive."

"Show the right amount of sadness."

With these sentences in my mind, I walked silently with the cart, I don't know how much of the grain on the cart was filled with rice husks, but even so, I walked all the way to find it one after another, otherwise there would never be so many, and the cart was found from a yard, and a few wooden planks were placed on it, so that the cart finally looked not very tattered.

However, even then he would not be a good thing at all, let alone being pushed haggardly by a few people with their heads covered and their faces not much different from those of frostbitten rice husks.

At a glance, people can see that these people are no different from beggars on the street.

However, even so, a man who looked like a guard hurriedly ran over with such a weapon that was enough to kill.

I'm thinking that if he kills us here, maybe no one really cares.

"......," I was silently worried in my heart.

When you get to the vicinity of this town, look with your eyes.

There are not a lot of guards that can be seen, and there are only six in front of you, if you total, it is estimated that there can be less than a hundred people in such a town, so it should be considered a large number, and the six people in front of you, four of them are on the narrow passage above the wooden gate, and two are standing at the gate and talking boring words intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing our group slowly approaching, a man with a weathered face who was estimated to be about fifty years old slowly ran in front of us.

His so-called equipment was not much from a distance, but up close it was just a coarse cloth garment and a rusty iron gun, and I could hear what he was saying in a tone that didn't seem to be very welcoming to visitors.

"Hey, guys, stop."

His words seemed to be full of vigilance, and as for why I understood why there was no one in such an empty land for a long time, the sudden appearance of such a few people was indeed not suspicious, and absolutely no one believed it.

"That...... May I ask this ...... My lord? You ......"

Uncle Cheng put on a look that seemed to be very pitiful and haggard, and slowly said the same tentative words.

The man looked at the person in front of him.

Uncle Cheng had a peasant-like face, and although the two men around him looked about the same size, one actually seemed to have the immaturity of a child, and the other seemed to have no breath in or out of breath even for the ghosts.

It seems that seeing this has slightly dispelled some doubts, although he can also hear some rumors, but in front of him......

It feels unlikely, but it still needs to be cross-examined.

So he said to a few of us.

"Where are you from? How to pick this time? ”

Although the tone is not very stiff, it is still cold and cold.

His question was asked to the guy next to me.

"Let's ......" The man next to him seemed to want to answer directly.

But for a while, I didn't know where to start.

After all, flying down from the top of the cliff, although a lot of preparations have been made, but when I say it, I feel that something is wrong, especially the latter sentence, how to pick this time, there is obviously an unpredictable meaning.

Because at this time, they don't know what's going on outside, or it's very likely that something is wrong, and people will immediately notice that something is wrong.

Such a fact is really unbearable for a while.

But Uncle Cheng didn't seem to change because of his words, just spoke.

"It's probably not far from here, I saw people coming and going two days ago, and I felt that something was wrong so I came with my two children, thinking about not having any accidents."

The soldier looked at the old peasant, and then at the two children, and the look in his eyes seemed to be clearly stimulated by something.

At first, I felt that this answer was a little abrupt, after all, this was playing with the child, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed as if he had really misunderstood something.

So in such vicissitudes of life, a relaxed expression slowly appeared, and he slowly shook his head, took a few steps back, and said to a few of us.

"Come in, then......"

This man did not embarrass us afterwards, but even slapped his hand and signaled to the other soldier.

We kept our heads down, didn't say anything, just walked quietly inside.

Until our figure is almost gone.

The other soldier, leaning against the gate, spoke to the man who had gone out to greet him.

"I haven't seen oil and water for a long time, why don't you lie to him? That way, a few of us can have a good time. ”

And the person in front of him seemed to be really unbearable.

"They're all like this, I really can't bear to ......"

"Hey, you pity him, why don't you pity me, I haven't seen meat for months."

"Puff ......"

At this moment, a soldier who came out of the porter grinned at the soldier.

"Those who can survive knowing that they need to endure threats outside, they must be hunters with quick hands and feet, you ...... these two times"

"Why does he dare to do it? I sued him for an assault ......"

"Pull it down, not to mention whether he can squeeze out oil and water when he wears it, he won't be killed when the time comes, and he will set up a shack far away outside, what's the matter if he is alone?"

"I ......"

"Don't worry, from my experience, look at those people, firstly, they did not bring their daughters and property, and secondly, they were probably plundered by those soldiers who walked by, you can see from the eyes of those children, and you don't know the quality of the imperial army."

"This ......"

"Haha...... Okay, if your idea of finding a horse is shattered, don't look for a breakthrough in others, no one will have a good time in this famine year. Let's accumulate some virtues! ”

Successfully breaking through the broken wooden gate, I finally breathed a sigh of relief as if I had relieved my burden, and the person next to me was similar.

After entering the gate, I could finally see the sparse wheat field, but I knew that this was far from the end, and that there were more thrilling things waiting for us.

A chill swept over the wheat, only slightly shaking.

The seedlings in the wheat field do not grow very well, even if the land in front of you is not harvested now, it is estimated that it will not grow too tall in the next few days, but there are not many people in the field who are harvesting wheat well.

I can't help but wonder, didn't the rain and snow in the previous days have affected these wheat fields? But when I looked at the ground that was almost solid, I wondered why the ground here was so different from the other side of the hill.

So I looked up again at the mountain that was far away from the town, but still very clear, and I couldn't help but wonder, is it because of the mountain?

"Don't look at ......"

At this time, Uncle Cheng pulled my shirt, and I finally lowered my head.

When I entered the town, I finally noticed that the number of people here began to increase, although it was not as crowded as in the city, but from my point of view, I could always vaguely find a few people walking past you, which is by any means almost the largest number of people I have ever seen in this world.

They looked at us, but no one pointed a finger at us, at most they just sighed and walked away.

This era has created too many sad people, so that people are no longer strange to such people.

"Qiangzi, and ......" Uncle Cheng glanced at me, and then said, "Let's first find a place where people can live......

The sun poured down on such a town, and their day began slowly.

The guards probably never dreamed that these people from outside were the ones they wanted to crusade and guard from afar.

What is even more unexpected is that instead of wanting to hide here and make a living, this group of people wants to assassinate the governor with just three people.

Crazy escape plan, probably even the real commander can't guess that there will be such a person.
