Chapter 9: Get Out!
The square bonfires were lively when at the same time, in the captive quarter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A middle-aged man in a robe took the guards to check around, count the number of people, and the captives were led by people to do farm labor at a specified time every day, and the number of people would be counted at night.
The wooden houses in the captive area were all lit up, but a broken wooden house in the corner had no light, and the middle-aged man seemed to see it, and his brows were furrowed.
"Which prisoner lives in that house?" the middle-aged man asked the guard behind him, and when the guard heard this, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and clenched his fists and said.
"It's a nine-year-old girl. After the guard finished speaking, the middle-aged man sighed curiously, there are not many children in the captive area, not that there are none, but there is no chance to grow up at all, many will freeze to death in the cold winter, and there are very few captives who can live to grow up, which is why the middle-aged man feels curious.
"What's your name?" the middle-aged man continued to ask, and as he spoke, he walked towards the wooden house, and the guards behind him followed closely behind the middle-aged man and replied.
"Everyone in the captive area calls her Sakura. The guard replied, breaking out in a cold sweat as he spoke.
It turned out that this guard was the director of the captive area, and this middle-aged man was a subordinate of the fifth elder Wu Zhen, named Huo Jian, who was notoriously tricky, and often punished his subordinates for a small mistake, but because he was deeply trusted by Wu Zhen, others couldn't take him. Therefore, the guards were very afraid of him, they were very cautious, they kept hunching their waists, and they didn't dare to look up at him, for fear of angering Huo Jian, and the guards never expected that Huo Jian would raid to check the number of people today, and Ying'er was also taken out by Xingyuan.
The guard followed Huo Jian step by step as he thought about the wooden house, his heart seemed to be beating with Huo Jian's footsteps, and cold sweat broke out.
"Ying'er, why do I feel so familiar with this name?" Huo Jian heard this, his face was thoughtful, he looked back at the guard in a cold sweat, and directly stepped forward and pushed away the wooden house where Ying'er lived.
The wooden house is too dilapidated, the chain that holds the door is rusty, the door makes an unpleasant creak when pushed, and when the room is opened, there is no stench as Huo Jian imagined, but a faint fragrance, very light, but it can be smelled, it smells very comfortable, this fragrance is a purple orchid that Xingyuan gave to Sakura, it is a precious herb, Sakura has been taking care of it.
Huo Jian pushed open the door, but the room was empty, except for some neatly placed objects, the bed was empty, and Ying'er was not in the wooden house.
The guards standing behind Huo Jian were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out at the moment, Huo Jian glanced left and right in the room, then exited the door and walked towards the rest of the prisoner area.
"Hmm~" Huo Jian snorted softly, and the guards hurriedly stepped forward in fright, cold sweat broke out, and their clothes were wet with sweat.
"What do you have to say, my lord!" the guard hurriedly stepped forward, almost kneeling.
"I won't embarrass you either, give you a meal, find this captive. Huo Jian was expressionless, and said lightly, as soon as these words came out, the guard's hanging heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes! The little one will be found immediately!" the guard immediately replied with his fists clenched, not daring to delay any longer, and beckoned dozens of guards in the captive area to look for Sakura, the guards did not dare to slack off, if they couldn't find it, even if they couldn't die, they were afraid that they would be crippled, gritted their teeth and looked around, and immediately, their eyes moved to the countless people around the campfire in the square.
"Dead Nizi, you must be hiding in this square to eat and drink!Catch her, see if I don't kill her!" The guard gritted his teeth and said fiercely, he was killed miserably this time, where did he think that Huo Jian would suddenly come to inspect today, Sakura is usually quiet in the wooden house, I don't know why she happened to not be in the wooden house today, the guard complained in his heart, this time it endangered his life, how could he not be nervous.
"It must be in the middle of the crowd, and you go and look around in the crowd. "The guards commanded their men to enter the crowd and look for it, and if the time was up, it would be over.
The guard's subordinates nodded yes and quickly squeezed into the crowd around the bonfire, looking around for Sakura's whereabouts, it is not difficult to find one person among these hundreds of people, but mainly there are foreigners from other tribes gathered here, and it must be very difficult to search some places, and the difficulty of finding a person in such a short time can be imagined, although it is not as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is extremely difficult to find in this crowded crowd.
The guard frowned, looking very anxious, looked left and right, and also rushed into the crowd to find Sakura.
..................
The earth glowed purple-blue, blue and faint, and the bonfire of the Cloud Spirit Department was burning, and some of the undried firewood in the flame made an explosion sound, but it was all drowned out by the boiling human voice.
"It's delicious!" Sakura ate the barbecue in her hand, she didn't know how much she had eaten, and the bones on the ground were slowly covered with Sakura's clean bones, and she continued to eat as she spoke, she didn't notice that the trouble was approaching her step by step.
"Ying'er, what kind of stomach is yours, this feeling is more than I eat!" Huang Long looked at the slow flesh skeleton on the ground with wide eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes, usually he felt that he had a hard time with the amount of food, and now it seems that the real foodie is the nine-year-old girl in front of him.
Xingyuan smiled, looked at Sakura who was gobbling up, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke on more." ”
Xingyuan said and reached out to take a pot of water and handed it to Ying'er, Xingyuan ate a lot at the third uncle's place during the day, so he didn't have any hunger now, but watching Ying'er eat, he was hungry.
"Thank you, Brother Xingyuan...... Well...... It's delicious!" Sakura stuffed the barbecue meat into her mouth with one hand, took the kettle that Xingyuan gave her with the other, and gulped two sips with a satisfied look on her face.
"Ahem...... Sakura pays attention to the image. Xingyuan coughed dryly twice, handed Sakura a handkerchief, and motioned for Sakura to wipe her greasy mouth.
Sakura only realized at this moment, the people who came and went around watched Sakura puff out her cheeks and stuffed a mouthful of flesh slowly, looking very funny, took Xingyuan's handkerchief, hurriedly lowered her head and wiped her mouth, her face flushed with a touch of crimson, she looked at Xingyuan embarrassedly, smiled, and bent her big eyes into crescents.
Xingyuan was squinting and smiling at Sakura at the moment, and suddenly, he felt a murderous aura, which was aimed at him.
"Hmm, isn't this the Xingyuan Young Clan? Why do you come here for dinner? "This voice and murderous aura came from the same person, it was Xing Chi, who was punched by Xing Yuan in the captive area this morning.
"Where I've come and gone, do I still need to report to you. Xing Yuan turned his head to look at Xing Chi, who was slowly coming behind him, and asked rhetorically, Xing Chi, a two-star jade clansman, also dared to point fingers at him, which could see Xing Yuan's status in the tribe.
"The young clan is too worried, the younger brother is just curious, and has no other meaning. Xingchi clenched his fists and said, although he said so, his face showed a kind of unwillingness to Xingyuan.
"Then get out of here, see you're running out of appetite. Xing Yuan looked at Xing Chi's expression, looked at it with disgust, and said fiercely.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Huang Long stood behind Xing Yuan and glared at Xing Chi fiercely, this Xing Chi glanced at Huang Long standing behind Xing Yuan, his body was shocked, it seemed that he had been beaten by Huang Long before, and there was a bit of jealousy of Huang Long in his eyes.
Sakura also hid behind Xing Yuan and glanced at Xing Chi, Xing Chi's eyes swept to Sakura, and when Sakura saw Xing Chi looking at her, she hurriedly hid behind Xing Yuan and didn't dare to look at him.
Xingchi glanced at Ying'er, her gaze immediately turned to Xingyuan, and she clenched her fists and continued to say with a sarcastic smile: "Shaozu, the little brother is fine, it is estimated that the two behind me are two points interested in your captive sister." ”
After speaking, two guards in the captive area walked out behind Xingchi, and their heads also rushed over when they heard the words, and the three of them looked at Ying'er, and they were immediately relieved, I don't know if they were anxious to be punished by Huo Jian, or if they didn't take Xingyuan in their eyes at all, and rushed directly towards Ying'er behind Xingyuan.
