Volume 2, Qi Country Travels Chapter 103, the road is uneven, and you can't help each other
Because of the girl's foot pain, Zhang Heng and the two of them walked slowly, and it took a long time to get out of the mountains and forests.
"It should be safer to get out of here, girl, let's leave it at that. "At a glance, you can see the outline of the imperial city in the distance, and you will not encounter any more danger in the future.
Then the girl suddenly crouched on the ground. Lai said, "I'm not leaving." ”
Zhang Heng didn't know what trick she was playing, and he didn't want to know. Then he walked in the direction of the imperial city by himself, he came here to do big things, how could he bring a burden?
Seeing Zhang Heng leaving, the girl hurriedly chased after her. "Do you know why those people are chasing me?"
Zhang Heng ignored him and walked forward.
"They're a bunch of thugs who buy and sell ordinary people, and they were bumped into by me when they were capturing a little girl, so they chased me. When the girl saw Zhang Heng leaving, she was in a hurry and hurriedly told the truth of the matter.
Zhang Heng stopped. "Is that true?"
"Really, I didn't lie to you, so, I can't just go like that. Walking the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is a righteous word, since you are afraid, then you just leave, this girl is chivalrous, naturally she will not watch those people suffer. You don't save them, this girl herself does. At most, you can't beat them, and then they get caught. Sell it with those ordinary people. The more she spoke, the more sad she became, until at last she began to sob.
"Stop pretending, get up, take me around. Zhang Heng turned to look at the girl on the ground and said coldly.
"Oh, okay. When the girl heard this, she jumped up happily, but she accidentally touched the injury on her foot, and suddenly screamed in pain.
Zhang Heng was speechless, and walked alone into the mountains and forests, too lazy to pay attention to her, and the girl hurriedly followed.
After a while, Zhang Heng and the others hid behind a big tree and observed the front, and sure enough, they saw the gang of thieves who were chasing the girl just now.
At this moment, the group of people were eating barbecue and drinking wine around the fire, so happy, and next to them, dozens of ordinary people with their hands and feet tied were huddled together with frightened faces.
Sure enough, it was a group of human traffickers.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng was furious. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, this gang of thieves was so bold that they actually engaged in the business of buying and selling human beings here.
"Look, I didn't lie to you. The girl whispered in Zhang Heng's ear.
"What do you want?" the girl asked.
What else can I do? Of course, it's to save people.
But just when Zhang Heng was about to rush out to save people, the voice of the "super thigh system" in his mind suddenly sounded.
Drop, the host is advised to leave this matter alone.
The voice is short, but it is very heartless.
"Why?" Zhang Heng asked calmly.
With Zhang Heng's understanding of the system, he knew that the system would never die without help. Since the system says so, there must be a reason for it.
At this time, the sound of the system continues to come out.
Drop, can the host really save them?
Hearing this, Zhang Heng Yileng,
Can you save them? Zhang Heng pondered for a long time, and finally got up helplessly and walked to the back lonely.
"What's the matter, didn't you save them?" The girl shouted anxiously when she saw Zhang Heng leaving.
Zhang Heng ignored her.
"You are just afraid, you have no force, but you are afraid, you don't save you when you see death, and you are a husband in vain. ”
"Even if your cultivation is higher than that of your aunt, your aunt and grandmother look down on you. ”
"You're a coward. Why don't you save your aunt and grandmother yourself?"
The girl seemed to get more and more angry the more she scolded.
Zhang Heng turned around slowly, and then said coldly.
"Do you think that when I rushed out and killed all those thieves, I saved those ordinary people?"
The cold voice startled the girl, and she was stunned. And then muttered, "Isn't that right"?
Those thieves robbed the women and men of the people, and as monks, they naturally should see righteousness and courage, and they rushed out. Isn't it a matter of course to beat up those thieves and then let go of the ordinary people who were robbed?
In order to prevent this girl from coming nonsense, Zhang Heng only had to explain.
"These ordinary people were all arrested from all directions. If we don't do it, they will be sold elsewhere, and although they will suffer some flesh and skin, they will survive after all. But if we save them, will they really be free?"
The sudden change in the style of painting made the girl not react yet.
Zhang Heng continued: "No, they can't cultivate, and it is difficult for them to survive in this world where strength is respected. Let them go, and the result will be either death or recapture. Unless you can send them back to where they lived, one by one. Or you can be by their side for the rest of your life. ”
"You, can you do it?" Zhang Heng said lonely: "If you don't interfere, it's good for them, if they are lucky, they will meet a good buyer, and they may get a new life." ”
Although Zhang Heng wanted to save those people, he couldn't make a move. Because saving them is not necessarily for their good, but it may also push them deeper into the abyss.
Zhang Heng left, although the girl didn't understand much, but she also kept up with Zhang Heng's pace. Without Zhang Heng, he would just go to send people's heads, and he couldn't draw them.
This is the reality, the host can save them for a while, but not for a lifetime. Unless the host is able to change the rules of this world.
Changing the rules? Zhang Heng laughed to himself.
What qualifications do I have to talk about this? I'm just an outsider. The only thing I can do is control myself and not go with the flow.
The concept of respecting the strong has penetrated into the bone marrow of everyone in the Immortal Cultivation Continent. He Zhang Heng is just a small modification, what can he change?
"Why are you following me?" walked for a long time, but found that this girl had been following behind him, Zhang Heng said indifferently.
He is very confused now, and he doesn't have the heart to talk about pity and cherishing jade or anything like that.
"Which eye did you see me following you? This road is not your home. Why can't this girl go?" The girl looked at Zhang Heng coldly, then sped up, bypassed Zhang Heng, and walked forward.
In her mind, Zhang Heng was just scared, so she made up a bunch of inexplicable excuses, although those excuses seemed to have a little bit of truth.
Zhang Heng did not speak. He doesn't care what others think of him.
Just walking, Zhang was dumbfounded, this girl was actually going to the imperial city.
The surname Qi is interesting.
Zhang Heng vaguely remembered that this girl's name seemed to be Qi Sisi. It seems that it should be the royal family and nobles in the Qi country.
Although they were on the same road, the two never spoke. Finally, after walking for an unknown number of hours, the two came to the so-called imperial city.
The imperial city is different, the city wall is covered with many big flags, on which the word "Qi" is written. The city was so vast that there was no end in sight, and there was an endless stream of monks coming and going, and there were thousands of soldiers defending the city alone.
The whole city is magnificent, revealing a simple and majestic atmosphere.
"What's your name?" the girl asked as she turned her head to Zhang Heng as she was about to enter the city gate.
"Zhang Heng. ”
Well, this girl remembers you. My name is Qi Sisi, no matter what, you saved my life, if anyone bullies you in this imperial city, you will report my name. With that, the girl disappeared at the gates.
Zhang Heng smiled, noncommittal, and walked towards the imperial city.
