When the two of them returned to the post road, the time had already come to one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only four hours before Long Thirteen completed his mission!

Although both of them are crumbling, they have finally turned from solitary to partners, so few people dare to covet them.

At present, the whole of northern Shaanxi is in a big chaos, after the thieves, the official army raged, sparsely populated, and the place where there are people is also near the county seat, due to the shortage of food, everyone is struggling to rush towards the county seat, because only near the county seat, whether the county is in the hands of the thieves or the hands of the officials and soldiers, there may be food.

Although there is a great possibility that they will be killed as thieves by the officials and soldiers, or as dry food by the thieves, they have no choice when there is food there.

Will you starve to death on the way, or will you be killed, but also very unlikely that you will be taken in to get food?

Compared with the two, it is naturally better to go to the county seat.

"My name is Li Er, a native of Suide, and I am eleven years old this year."

On the way, the boy took the initiative to say his name, and Long Thirteen just nodded, according to the arrangement of the simulator, although his body came from the afterlife, his identity was local, and he could speak the local dialect.

The two supported each other, Long Thirteen was at the bottom with a scorpion and a small fish after all, and most of the time he supported Li Er, so he staggered towards the direction of the county seat.

Along the way, they met many homeless people who were weaker than them, but at the present time, the vast majority of the homeless people who were able to walk on the road alive were young and strong, and the old and weak were either dead or eaten, without any exceptions.

Most people walk at about the same pace as them, and they also walk for a while, and some fall to the ground as they walk, and then others will pounce on them without hesitation......

Although Li Er is only eleven years old, he has the same mind as Long Thirteen, even if he is very hungry, he is not willing to eat human flesh, the two of them can partner up, obviously they are right, of course, at the moment, Li Er must rely on Long Thirteen more.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Long Thirteen was willing to continue to take Li Er away, otherwise, as a person from the afterlife, he was obviously unwilling to take a person who had eaten human flesh away.

"You are still eight miles away from Qingjian County, and you are still two hours away from the target time!"

Along the way, the simulator box was also constantly prompting, and when it was reminded for the last time, Long Thirteen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm getting slower and slower now, don't say it's two hours and eight miles, and I can't walk one mile in an hour."

He was a little curious, "If I hadn't arrived at the county seat at the specified time, what would have happened to me?" ”

"Don't be afraid, at most start over in another place, even if all the assignments are zero, you can't die anyway"

Perhaps it was an insight into his thoughts, and the simulator box reappeared.

"What you think is beautiful, it's not like that, if you don't arrive at the county seat at the specified time, even if you start again in another place, but the initial conditions will be worse than now, and the assignments will be deducted accordingly, that is, whether you get to the county seat or not, the corresponding assignment will be deducted according to your distance from the county."

Long Thirteen had ten million grass and mud horses flying by in his heart, and then he and Li Er had to support each other, and struggled forward with the cold, hunger, and tingling pain in their feet.

However, although the post road is inhabited by frail homeless people, there are exceptions.

Long Thirteen's luck was obviously very bad, just when he stayed up for another hour, only an hour away from the allotted time, and when there were still seven miles to go from the county seat, near a mountain col, they met a man.

It was a real man, a man who was also very thin, but he looked very powerful, and the clothes on his body were roughly neat, if Long Thirteen guessed correctly, it was the fat jacket that was common in the winter of the Ming army at this time, and there was also a felt hat on his head.

What's even more terrifying is that the man still has a knife on his waist!

A goose feather knife!

That's not all, he still has a bow and arrows on his back and a spear in his hand!

He had riding boots on his feet - but only one on his feet, because his other calf was missing!

Although his face was thin, it was full of beards, and the roots of the beard were thick and curly, and when you looked closely, it seemed that there was a bearded man between your eyebrows.

Beside him, there was also a piece of meat, a piece of flesh that apparently came from the thigh of a human toddler!

Although the piece of meat was covered with dust, it could not hide its former whiteness, showing that its former owner came from a wealthy family.

"Most of this person is a member of the lantern thief who is in the city of Qingjian County, or a formal member, it is estimated that he fell behind in the battle not long ago, and stayed up all night in the shelter of this post road, we are the first to walk on the post road, and I am afraid that he is also the first person to see him."

"Stop!"

Long Thirteen didn't want to cause trouble, he also knew that although he was in good health, and the man opposite had a broken leg, he was still not his opponent, and he had a bow and arrow in his hand, so he could easily kill himself while sitting.

However, the man obviously didn't want to let them go, or he was waiting for someone to help him back to the county seat.

When Long Thirteen turned around, he saw that he was stretching his bow and arrows!

There was no way, he had to stop.

"Master Jun, what's the matter?"

The man said: "Help me go to Suidezhou City, and I will make sure you have food to eat!" ”

"Suidezhou City?" , Long Thirteen was stunned for a moment, in his impression, Suidezhou City was still dozens of miles to the north, and it was now entrenched by officials and soldiers, how could he go to that kind of place?

Suddenly thinking of something, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"He's a straggler! Not long ago, the lantern was lit and the official army had a big battle, the two sides did not lose the victory, and finally the lantern retreated to Qingjian County, and the official army also returned to Suidezhou City, this person really fell behind in the battle, stayed up here for a night, and counted on someone to help him return to Suidezhou City! ”

If he and Li Er ran away now, they would definitely be shot on the spot by this person, because both of them were shaky and couldn't run at all, and although this person was thin, his bones were thick, and he was quite powerful at first glance.

Moreover, in the Ming army at this time, those who can have Yanling knives, spears, bows and arrows at the same time are all the elites of the army, and they may still be small leaders.

Seeing that the two were still hesitating, the man changed his smiling face, he pointed to the piece of meat and said, "As long as you help me to Suidezhou City, this piece of meat is what you are waiting for."

Li Er was young after all, and shouted: "I won't eat human flesh until I wait."

The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed at the pedantry of the two men, but he searched for a while through a brown bag, and finally pulled something out of it.

As soon as this thing appeared, both Long Thirteen and Li Er's eyes lit up.

That's a steamed cake!

A big steamed cake!

The man must have seen the looks of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to eat human flesh, so let's give this piece of bread to you, as long as you help me to Suidezhou City, in addition to this cake, there is also silver to offer."

Saying that, he had another silver ingot in his hand, and the silver ingot was in the shape of an ingot, at least about five taels, shining in his big black hand!

However, the allure of this silver for the two of them was far less than that of the steamed cake.

Long 13 thought for a while and said, "It's okay to send you to Suidezhou City, but what I want to know is that the front is Qingjian County, why don't you go there, but instead go to Suidezhou City, which is farther away?" ”

The man was a little annoyed at first, but he still held back, and he could also see that although Long Thirteen was weak, he was a descendant after all, and compared with other homeless people on the road, he had some strength after all, and if he let this person go, he didn't know when he would have to wait for the ideal candidate.

What's more, this place is close to Qingjian County, and it would be bad if the cavalry of first-class thieves came here.

So, he said: "I might as well tell you to wait, I am the head of the post under the command of the general of the Suidezhou City Division, if you can send me there, in addition to the silver two, you can also send another bag of millet!" ”

Li Er was stunned, and even Long Thirteen was thinking, "If what this person said is true, his next food will be guaranteed."

But he is a descendant, and he will not be fooled easily.

"If you don't comply, I'll shoot you and wait!"

Seeing that the two of them were still hesitating, the man finally became angry, and the bowstring was also opened!

"Yes, willing", Long Thirteen hurriedly ran over, and then grabbed him, the man scolded: "It's about the same"

However, he was obviously not completely relieved, he put the bow and arrow back on his back, then put his right hand on Long Thirteen's shoulder, and held the spear in his left hand, and then let Li Er walk in front with the burden on his back.

"Steamed cakes ......," Long 13 said.

"Walk for a while and then give ......"

The man stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, and when he lowered his head again, he saw that there was an extra hilt in his heart!

"Ah......h

The man fell before he could let out a scream.

It turned out that Long Thirteen secretly held Li Er's short knife in his hand when he helped him up!

"Dragon Thirteen, congratulations, you killed a Ming army sentry commander, your status has been upgraded from starvation to the gully level, and your body functions have returned to normal......"

"Ravine?"

"Well, that's the second rank of the thieves who are higher than the starvation, that is, the common people, and will be reassigned according to your physical functions in your previous life"

"The emulator is restarting ......"

"Simulator restart is 60% complete"

"Simulator reboot 100% complete"

"Dragon Thirteen, eighteen years old, 30 for Force, 20 for Commander, 30 for Agility, 30 for Luck, 20 for Wisdom"

"Attention, attention, there is only one hour left before your mission to enter Qingjian County, and there are still seven miles away!"

After killing that person, Long Thirteen didn't seem to care about completing the task, he quickly took out the piece of cake from the black and greasy baggage, and after giving half of it to Li Er, he ate the other half in three or two bites, and after drinking a few sips of water from the water bladder next to the man, the whole person suddenly became relaxed!

Pull off his clothes and boots, throw the jacket inside to Li Er, let him drape part of it on his body and part of it on his feet, put on his fat jacket and riding boots, then put on his bow and arrow, pick up the spear, put on the Yanling knife, and return Li Er's short knife to him, pick up the burden and hurry forward.

"Zhao Jiu, the chief ...... of the eighth post under the command of the Suide Divisional Staff General"

There is also the identity document of the man in the baggage, originally Long Thirteen wanted to cut off the head of this person, and then take it to Qingjian County to light a lamp to the leader of the thieves to ask for a reward, but later he felt that it was too troublesome, so he gave up.

As for Zhao Jiu, who was stripped naked, there was no need to worry at all, it wouldn't be long before he would turn into a dry bone.

A real dry bone in one fell swoop.
