Chapter 16: I Raise a Villain in Troubled Times (16)
Ye Shenyu, who was surrounded by everyone here, frowned and stood there, if she was usually surrounded by people, she would either kill the people who blocked the way, or cross over from above.
Only this time...... Ye Shenyu's gaze fell on the woman in front of her.
It was a woman of about thirty years of age, and her emaciated face could be seen in her undulating movements, and her hands on her chest were covered with calluses and tears, full of traces of day and night labor, weather-beaten. The coarse linen garments were covered with numerous cuts and stained with dust and blood. Beside her knelt a six- or seven-year-old child, also kowtowing in confusion.
Ye Shenyu's gaze stayed on them for a moment, and he still raised his head expressionlessly and did not move forward.
Gao Wenbin came over with a few personal soldiers, avoided the crowd kneeling on the ground, and respectfully bowed his hand to Ye Shenyu: "Thanks to the girl's action, I can save Yuyang." This kindness, Gao is unforgettable. β
He said sincerely, if there was no Ye Shenyu, I don't know how many people in Yuyang would have died tragically at the hands of the Xingjia Army today.
Ye Shenyu shook his head lightly: "Do it with your hand." "If it weren't for the Xingjia Army crashing into it, she wouldn't have stabbed it.
Gao Wenbin smiled and didn't say anything. Da En is not grateful, he just remembers it, and I believe that these refugees and the people of Yuyang will also remember. It's a pity that Yuyang has just gone through the calamity and has not yet rested, so he can't thank Miss Ye well.
Ye Shenyu didn't know what he was thinking, he only remembered his coachman, and asked, "The coachman you said, can you take me to find it?" β
Gao Wenbin was thinking about how to settle Ye Shenyu, and was stunned when he heard this. He had just finished a battle, and he had almost forgotten about the coachman.
"That friend of mine is in Beicheng, and when I settle down the people, I will take the girl to look for her."
After Gao Wenbin said that, he led his own soldiers to persuade the people kneeling on the street to leave one by one, and ordered people to settle those who had no place to live.
Because of the war and famine, the people died or fled, and there were many empty houses left in Yuyang County, which are just ready to be used now.
Soon it was getting dark, and torches were lit in the streets. The defenders of Yuyang took advantage of the firelight to come and go in the streets. At the city gate in the distance, two groups of soldiers fixed the city gate with hemp rope and shouted slogans to pull the city gate up little by little.
A large pot was set up in the middle of the long street at this time, and a pot of steaming porridge was cooked, and the rice fragrance was sent along the night breeze.
Although it is necessary to settle the people first, Gao Wenbin did not forget to settle Ye Shenyu and a few people. The vicinity of the carriage was cleared, and a bonfire was lit, and the dry branches crackled in the firelight.
Ye Xuan sat by the fire, with the cushion of the carriage under him, and almost fell asleep lazily. Xie Qun next to him looked at the dancing flames in a daze, and it took a while for him to put his hand on the flames, feeling the warmth he hadn't felt in many days.
He was a child who had not grown up, and in the eyes of many refugees, he could be a piece of goods. So he only dared to stay far behind the crowd, and to rest in the night on tall trees, and for many days he did not dare to make a fire to keep warm or eat a hot meal.
The warmth even made him feel safe enough to relax and sleep. Xie Qun thought like this, and peeked at the girl on the side.
Ye Shenyu sat sideways by the fire and carefully wiped the blade in his hand with a fine cloth. The blades like snow reflected the firelight, and the girl's eyebrows and eyes were extremely cold.
Unlike people in this world, such an idea suddenly popped up in Xie Qun's mind. He pursed his lips and lowered his head again, thinking about what he should do nextβeven if he was really a goddess, she wouldn't protect him if she saw him set a trap and harm people, right? The tips of his fingers gently scraped the edge of his clothes, he had to live, Xie Qun thought, no matter what, he had to live.
The soldiers who came to deliver the meal were also watching this scene, and they didn't dare to step forward, always feeling that they would disturb the immortals - the goddess didn't have any shelf, but inexplicably people didn't dare to approach.
Unlike Gao Wenbin, they were convinced that Ye Shenyu was the goddess who came to protect Yuyang. In such a chaotic world, perhaps only faith can bring people a glimmer of hope.
Feeling that someone was coming, Ye Shenyu stopped wiping and raised his head.
The soldier carrying the food box had to speak at this moment, and stammered: "God, goddess, this is the food that Brother Gao ordered to be sent to you. β
With that, he put the food box on the ground and fled in a panic as if someone was chasing him.
There were a few soldiers staring at him in the distance, and as soon as they saw him passing, they asked, "What did the goddess say?" β
"Why don't you help the goddess set up the meal?"
"I forgot ......," the soldier who delivered the meal was extremely annoyed, "I just wanted not to disturb the goddess." β
"Phew, you shit." The pro-soldier who spoke gritted his teeth, "Why don't you let me send food to serve the goddess!" Ye Shenyu, who heard these conversations clearly: "......" Although she never cared what other people thought of her, it was the first time she had been worshiped by others like this to be worshiped as a god, and it felt a little subtle.
Forget it, Ye Shenyu retracted his gaze, let's eat. After arriving in this world, the hardest problem turned out to be eating. Ye Shenyu once again missed the shadow of the moon.
Ye Xuan was woken up, rubbed his eyes, and asked with sleepiness, "Sister, have you eaten?" β
Ye Shenyu hummed lightly and put away the knife in his hand.
At this time, Xie Qun had already raised his head again, he glanced at Ye Shenyu, got up silently and went over to open the food box in front of Ye Shenyu, took out the meals inside one by one, and placed them in front of Ye Shenyu.
Then he sat down on his knees, lowered his eyebrows, and did what he was supposed to do.
Ye Shenyu tilted his head, as if he saw the appearance of the moon from him.
[Sure enough, the villains have some similarities.] She asserted in her mind, "There's nothing wrong with my mission strategy. γ
System: [......] You're completely gone in the opposite direction of the correct strategy, okay?
Others try their best to please the strategy target, and its host is tried to please the strategy target, and the system says that it is difficult to explain.

North Side.
Gao Wenbin stood in front of a courtyard and raised his hand to slam the courtyard door a few times. An angry voice came from the courtyard: "Who slammed the door in the middle of the night?" β
Gao Wenbin said in a deep voice: "It's me." β
The door was opened after a short time, and a young man in his twenties walked out, as if he had just woken up: "Why are you here, isn't there a war going on outside?" You're not going to defend the city? β
Gao Wenbin frowned: "Knowing that there is a war, how can you still sleep?" β
He seemed to be accustomed to young people like this, and after a pause, he said, "After the fight, I came to you for another matter, and I want to ask you for help." β
