There was silence on the opposite hill for a moment, and then a creaking sound sounded hoarsely.

After a while, it was as if some behemoth had smashed on the edge of the cliff, making a dull loud noise, stirring up dust several feet high, so that people could not open their eyes, and the gravel rolled down the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.

It was close to noon that the cliff side was completely calm, and several water bandits cleaned up all the traces on the cliff side, and then detoured to another road, cleaning up the footprints along the way as they walked down the mountain.

The shadow of the sun hangs high, it is the time of lunch, most of the food in the mountains is simple and rough, most of the bowl of clear soup and little water dumplings, even a few drops of oily can not be seen, let alone meat, but fortunately there are a few tender vegetable leaves floating in the soup, which is the most common wild vegetable in this season, and it looks very gratifying.

Yao Qi gritted his teeth and held his breath, holding the large stoneware bowl with a missing mouth, and drank the glutinous food in one breath, and he didn't care about anything else, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and there was an inappropriate grunt sound in his stomach.

Hungry, thin soup and little water, not full.

She looked out with the lattice, there was no window paper on the window, and the wind was blowing into the house, and the situation in the yard was unobstructed.

This courtyard seems to be very large, and Yao Qi can only see a corner of the yard through this small window like a pigeon cage, like a frog sitting in a well watching the sky.

She looked at the courtyard and felt vaguely familiar.

The circular courtyard encloses a circle of adobe houses, divided into two levels, with a rudimentary staircase made of stone in a curved corridor.

She felt that this courtyard house was very similar to the Hakka walled houses she had visited in her previous life, but these adobe houses were much simpler than the Hakka walled houses.

In the middle of the courtyard was a small well, with the edge of the well slightly above the ground a few inches.

She was brought in blindfolded, locked up in a room on the first floor, unable to see clearly in the well, or whether there was water in it.

She sighed, and she had gone all the way over the mountains and rivers, blindfolded, and sent to this courtyard, where she had been locked up for a day and a night, and she had never seen any living creature enter this courtyard except the person who delivered the food.

This completely shattered her plans to arrest someone and torture her.

She came late, but took advantage of an empty room, and for a day and a night, no other girls were crammed into the empty room, and she had nowhere to inquire what this place was.

The wind was leaking from the windows without pasted window paper, and it was fine during the day, but the night in the mountains was very cold, and she was the only one in the house, and there was no one to warm each other.

She rubbed her sour nose, and she was only three sneezes away from the cold.

She looked at the clean yard and glanced at the girls locked up in the opposite room.

The girls on the other side were locked in early in the morning, and she roughly calculated that there were fifteen or sixteen girls in this room, and in this courtyard, the rooms on the second floor were all empty, and there were eight windows on the first floor, that is, there were eight rooms, and nearly a hundred girls were closed.

As for the other places she couldn't see, she didn't know if there was still a girl locked up.

She frowned, what kind of river god does this sacrifice to use so many girls, this river god is still part-time in the flower building.

She leaned at the lattice of the window and looked through the courtyard like autumn water.

There was only a simple and rough lock hanging on the door, and the window lattice was wobbly and not so strong, and by her means, this place was a no-man's land for her to come and go whenever she wanted.

But she had only been here for a day and a night, and she didn't dare to do anything, and she was not so arrogant that she felt that she could destroy 800 water bandits by herself when the situation was unclear.

She secretly thought to herself that if no one came today, she would go out at night to find out the truth.

First, let's explore the power of the water bandits, and second, let's explore the way down the mountain.

She moved her wrist, and was thinking boredly when she heard a commotion outside the courtyard gate.

She was refreshed, her eyes were shining, and she stared at the direction of the courtyard gate, this is a new person to send in.

Okay, there's finally a newcomer, she holds her arms and squeezes to sleep so that it's not cold.

Sure enough, in just a few moments, a group of girls covered in black cloth were brought into the courtyard, and under the push of the bandits, they stumbled into the empty house.

Yao Qi suddenly saw a few familiar faces in this group of girls, her eyebrows jumped, her apricot eyes widened, and she almost screamed out in fear.

She covered her mouth to swallow back the screams that had rushed to her lips.

This, is this crazy, how did you send this ancestor in?

Her heart sank inch by inch, if she didn't have her own impulsive act of the moment, it would cause such serious consequences, if it was just to save an ordinary girl, and finally involve these two great gods, then her ten lives would not be enough to fill in.

This is to destroy the nine clans, it's not enough to die one, it's necessary to die a group.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting her uneasy wail, and she secretly clenched her fists, even if she was seriously injured, she had to protect the two great gods, even if she couldn't protect the two, at least she had to protect the most unlucky one.

As soon as she made up her mind, a dozen people were suddenly pushed into the room, and then there was a sound of locks outside, and the door shut out the dripping daylight.

She stared dumbfounded at the faces of the acquaintances mixed in with the group of girls, poured a few deep breaths back and forth, and quietly moved into the chaotic crowd, bowing her head, pretending that she was also the new one.

Before entering the house, the black cloth covering the girls' eyes was torn off by the bandits, and they walked all the way in the dark, and suddenly saw the sun, their eyes were stinged and sore, and it took a long time to close their eyes to get used to the light, and they calmed down in the room for a while, and began to look boldly.

The room was empty, not even a decent ornament, and the dirt floor was covered with a thick layer of straw, which should be a place to sleep.

The smell of decay from old mold lingered in the house for a long time, and it made people cry.

A girl raised her hand and fanned the wind, with a look of disgust: "This, what the hell is this place?" ”

A girl covered her mouth and sobbed: "The person who bought me said that he was a maid for a big family, this, how can this be so?" ”

Yao Qi closed his eyes.

Traffickers throughout the ages have picked up good things and said, otherwise how could anyone believe it?

The girls looked around in frustration, and soon they realized that there was no window paper on the window, and that the wind was blowing through the window against the pile of straw.

The nimble girl's heart moved, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pick up a pile of straw and occupy a good place on the leeward side first.

Seeing one person move like this, the other girls couldn't bear it, and rushed up, grabbing the straw and grabbing the straw, occupying the territory.

Yao Qi took advantage of the chaos to quietly move to the two great gods, raised his hand and stabbed one of them twice: "Eh, Lord Shaoyin, you are also here to worship the river god?" ”

Leng Linjiang also saw Yao Qi early in the morning, and before he could speak, a head poked out from behind him, and he looked at Yao Qi with a smile: "Ah Ji girl is clever." ”

Yao Qi trembled inexplicably, and asked Leng Linjiang in a low voice: "Why did you get this ancestor, do you think I have a long life?" ”

"Ah, your words hurt my heart." Xie Mengxia coughed twice, and raised his hand to wipe his tears in a fake manner: "I was worried about you, so I came out to find you." ”

"Really?" Yao Qi glanced at Xie Mengxia and said idly: "Don't wipe it, the powder has fallen off." ”

More than a dozen girls swarmed up in front of me, you squeezed me, I stepped on you, screams and scolding came and went, endlessly, and the excitement was almost about to overturn the roof.

The remaining four people remained motionless, standing under the window blowing the cold wind, looking out of place with the others.

Leng Linjiang and Yao Qi stood with their arms crossed, looked at them coldly, and said nothing.

Xie Mengxia's eyes widened, and he snorted: "This is also worth grabbing?" ”

Before the words fell, a gust of wind blew to Xie Mengxia, who was standing under the window, he hugged his arms tightly, it was a little cold, he rolled up his sleeves and changed his tone: "Let's grab some of it, the straw is almost gone." ”

As soon as these words came out, Leng Linjiang and Yao Qi looked at Xie Mengxia together.

His Royal Highness the dignified King of Han, grabbing straw with a group of weak girls who can't take care of themselves?

Sounds good, too.

Leng Linjiang looked at Xie Mengxia and spit out two words categorically: "You go." ”

Xie Mengxia pushed Cheng Chaoyan out: "Miss Cheng, I can't beat them." ”

Leng Linjiang and Yao Qi sighed in unison, seeing that there was not much straw left, and the leeward place was almost occupied, Yao Qi sighed, and stepped out with Cheng Chaoyan in unison.

Cleaning up a dozen weak girls who are powerless doesn't need two people to shoot together, but it's not nice to say that this kind of thing is straw grabbing, and the two of them will shoot together, and when it spreads out in the future, when they are ridiculed, they will have a companion.

Yao Qi and Cheng Chaoyan walked over, and there was not much movement, Xie Mengxia looked at the dozen or so girls, and asked worriedly: "It won't be broken, right?" ”

Leng Linjiang didn't take this matter seriously at all, and sneered: "What does Your Highness think, a group of weak women, who were knocked down with one finger, how could they break Ah Qi." ”

"It's not." Xie Mengxia shook his head and said worriedly: "These girls are all mine, I want to bring them back, I'm afraid that Ah Ji won't be able to do it lightly, and then I will slap their faces, so what do you think." ”

"......" Leng Linjiang closed his eyes in despair: "Your Highness, there are no outsiders now, can we not pretend?" ”

Xie Mengxia touched the tip of his nose and looked at him: "Eh, Han Changyun, why didn't he come in with him?" ”

Leng Linjiang looked left and right, and his voice became cold: "Before entering the small courtyard, he was taken away by the water bandits, and he didn't follow in, and Qing Qian didn't know which house he was sent to." ”
