Chapter 472: Twenty-one days
Grabbing a team of more than a dozen people was easy for Zhuang Rou, and she even felt that if she continued like this, she would be able to break through all the levels and go to Bird Valley in a while.
After breaking through three levels in a row and exhausting more than three hours, Zhuang Rou had no choice but to stop after realizing that his task was to deliver a message, not to kill the enemy.
I don't know if I didn't kill all the soldiers when I broke through the level in front, I just cared about leaving, and there were more and more people in the back checkpoint, and somehow there were women and children mixed in.
Zhuang Rou is not a person who can't do anything when she sees women and children, as long as she is in her way, no matter how old or young she is, she will not be soft-hearted.
But the women and the children, who looked and knew the soldiers, stood trembling and not daring to look at the sword, but they met her.
And after these people are cut and killed, it is difficult to get healing, and they are basically dead.
In order to gain a good reputation, it should be impossible for the rebels to force the people to do such things, and there will be people who want to take refuge in them wherever it spreads.
Zhuang Rou guessed that these people were the families of the dead soldiers in the guardhouse, so even if they were afraid, they had to stand at the barricade to block themselves.
Perhaps, they came specifically to stop themselves, and there were no women and children on the other roads.
This is really annoying, after Zhuang Rou lost the third horse, he planned not to take the official road, and climbed the mountain to bypass them.
She didn't believe that the thousands of people in the guard could still guard every mountain, every village, town and forest.
The harvest had already been harvested on the side of the official road, and at the end of the empty field, there was a continuous low mountain, which was not high but could not be seen at a glance.
Zhuang Rou stared at it for a few moments, then went down to the field, walked down the ridge to the bottom of the mountain, and went up the mountain from the path that was stepped out by the locals, and went up the mountain to the south.
Just five miles away from Zhuang Rou, the rebels had laid layers of traps and barricades in order to catch her. Knowing that she was difficult to deal with, it seemed that no matter how hard she cut, she would not die, so they also made a chain net improvised.
Just waiting for Zhuang Rou to arrive, take advantage of her not to spare this net to trap her and capture her alive!
Iron nets, bows and arrows, and people have all been prepared, just waiting for Zhuang Rou, the big fish, to be caught.
But after waiting for a long time, let alone riding a horse, it should have been there to walk, but Zhuang Rou didn't move at all. They brought in 500 men to capture her, and the best armor of the guard was brought out, and all of them were allowed to pass through.
Now I can't see anyone, is it because I am looking for a place to eat and rest, or people don't want to go so far at all, and they have already reached the place they want to go?
Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't go, so they could only wait here, hoping that Zhuang Rou would come over as soon as possible and not let everyone prepare for a game in vain.
Zhuang Rou had already gone up the mountain at this time, and she couldn't see how much effort the rebels had put into catching her, and the path was gone as she walked. There is an official road below, and if you want to go south, no one will take the bad road on the mountain.
There was no way, so she relied on the sun to recognize the way, and walked south on the mountain.
When I stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at it, I didn't think it was a big mountain, but when I walked up, I found that I couldn't see the place for half a day.
See, walk the dead!
Zhuang Rou walked all night, and at dawn found another path that had been stepped on in the mountain, and went down the mountain along the path, and came to a village to inquire, only to know that he had gone astray.
But fortunately, it is already some distance from Hongzhou, and the villagers here have not heard of a rebellion in Hongzhou City. This kind of village, which has not been far from the official road for a few hours, has not yet been isolated to the point where there is a rebellion outside, and I don't know.
Then there is only one possibility, the rebels did not run here, but only guarded around Hongzhou City, so these small villages not far from Hongzhou City do not know about it.
When a merchant or rebel arrives, they will know that there is a war.
Zhuang Rou thought that it was okay to go directly to the official road, and searched the entire village, but there was not a single horse, only a water buffalo and a small donkey that were common in the village.
She casually gave three times the price, bought the donkey, rode it and left the village.
The donkey seller took the silver and said to the village in great confusion: "Village chief, is this girl a fool who has spent so much money to buy a donkey?" ”
"Idiot, look at what she's wearing, it's not good

Where did the general come from. This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for them, and it is nothing at all. The village elder said angrily.
"Where did I come from?" The man who sold the donkey looked dazed, the village chief even knew about this kind of thing, he was worthy of being the village chief, and his knowledge was really too wide.
The village elder's face was cold, and he scolded angrily: "Of course there is, isn't it just now!" You can simply take the silver and buy a cow, and you can use the grinding and hoeing to hoe the land, and when the farm is busy, you can also drive the car. ”
His old cow was almost out of hoes, so he just wanted to have one more, and then he would make more money pulling his ox cart.
"Hey, just listen to the village chief." The man didn't have much knowledge, and thought it was a good idea, but a donkey couldn't hoe the field, and it was better to have a cow.
So he happily summoned a few friends from the same village, and planned to walk around the town, have a glass of wine, and buy a cow back.
Zhuang Rou's little donkey walked slowly, her shield was too heavy, the donkey had never pulled the grass so heavily, and the little hooves had no momentum at all.
"Bear with me, I'll change you when you get to the Bird Valley." Sitting on the donkey's back, she could also feel that the donkey was tired, but it was a little faster than her walking, so she pretended not to know and continued to sit on the donkey's back.
Just thinking about the place, let Mo Zuo take some good horse food for the little donkey to eat, which can be regarded as a reward.
Zhuang Rou rode a donkey from time to time to come down to let the donkey rest, and finally came to the official road with stop-and-go, and continued to walk along the south side, and only arrived at the Bird Valley when it was dark.
And the hill where Mo Zuo is located is on the side of Qi'er Valley, and he has to go a little further.
She picked up a handful of dead branches and tied them into torches, and continued to ride on the donkey by the light of the fire, and soon the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind her.
I don't know who it is, Zhuang Rou didn't look back, but carefully guarded behind her, and rode slowly on her little donkey, which couldn't run fast at all.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and it sounded like there were five or six of them, and as they approached, the horses' speed suddenly slowed down.
Zhuang Rou frowned, and held the crossbow in her right hand.
At this time, a man rode forward and said boldly: "Boy, your shield is good, can you sell it?" ”
"Not for sale." Zhuang Rou looked back and saw a face full of beards, a mighty uncle, either a bandit or an officer or soldier.
She didn't want to cause trouble, so she said kindly: "Uncle, this shield of mine is an ancestral heirloom, and the red on the shield is dyed red by the blood of my grandfather and father when they died. ”
The uncle looked at her stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he shouted, "Zhuang Rou! Who's the uncle! ”
Zhuang Rou blinked, she was a little nervous just now and didn't react, but now she is a little familiar with this voice.
She suddenly asked in disgust, "Mo Zuo?" ”
Mo Zuo scolded angrily: "What are you doing here, you actually call me uncle!" ”
"If you don't have a mirror, you pee and take a picture yourself, just your full beard, it's polite to call uncle, I originally wanted to call grandpa." Zhuang Rou said angrily, she was most annoyed that men didn't trim their beards.
She had seen a lot of homeless people before, and she couldn't shave their beards at all, so she couldn't let them look like they. When grabbing porridge and other food, the food residue will be completely stained on the beard, which is not only wasteful but also dirty.
Especially when you are poor, you don't want to wash, you have fleas on your body, and your dirty beard is all over it. As long as the sun is good in the weather, you can see them burrowing in and out of their beards.
As soon as she recalled this, Zhuang Rou couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body, and her face was full of disgust, "How long have you not taken a bath?" There are no long fleas living in the mountains! ”
Mo Zuoba's pole couldn't hit his head, and he got closer and asked blankly: "Why are you asking me why I'm taking a bath, do you want to have a cave with me?" ”
"Phew! I'm afraid of the fleas in your beard jumping over!" Zhuang Rou exclaimed, he was still close, fleas can jump far!
It turned out that he was dirty and afraid of growing fleas, Mo Zuo felt humiliated, and roared angrily: "Tell her, when did General Ben take a bath last time!" ”
Lin Shuigen, who was behind him, replied with a bitter face: "General, twenty-one days ago. ”
Mo Zuo was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at him in disbelief, "It's been so long?" ”
Immediately, he saw Zhuang Rou grinning and riding a donkey back three feet.
