1. Thieves' Walk

Next Chapter

In 208 AD, the Sun-Liu coalition army defeated the Cao army, and the Battle of Chibi ended.

That night, the fire reflected in the sky, the shouts of killing were endless, and in just one night, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops were burned.

After this battle, the three-legged situation has been initially formed, and each country has expanded its armaments and actively prepared, waiting for the opportunity to break out again, in order to dominate the world.

·······

Outside Changsha City, on the way to Daqing Village, the official road that was originally lying flat was piled up with many unknown corpses for some reason.

They were discarded haphazardly on the side of the road, but they were gorgeously dressed, like passing merchants, and there were even bits and pieces of jewels scattered among them, as if they had just been looted.

Not far away, there was a tall, thin young man who seemed to be alive.

The man sat on a rock, his clothes had already been soaked in blood, and he looked particularly terrifying, but his face was unexpectedly pale, and his eyes were full of horror and helplessness.

Apparently, he was also a victim.

"How could I be so unlucky? This kind of catastrophe has just been reborn......"

The young man muttered to himself, his eyes glinting with a deep sense of remorse.

As he spoke, he turned his head and couldn't bear to look at the corpses all over the ground.

The appearance of these people has long been indistinguishable, and the blood flowing from them has long soaked the earth, making this land take on a terrifying dark red color, and a feeling of oppression comes to the face.

"If I hadn't pretended to be dead, I'm afraid I would have become a member of this corpse."

The young man smiled self-deprecatingly.

Soon, however, he shook his head again and regained his spirits.

"Those thieves haven't gone far yet, if I turn back, then it's useless for me to pretend to be dead!"

Thinking so, he stood up and was about to leave, but was drawn to the glowing jewels on the ground.

Stepping over to the pile of corpses, he crouched down and picked up the remaining jewels on the ground.

"Holy!"

Seeing these things clearly, he couldn't help but curse: "What the hell is this? “

I saw that these jewels were all dull, and the surface was covered with mottled cracks, which were obviously defective.

But think about it, the best must have been picked up by thieves a long time ago, how can it be his turn? And the rest of the stuff is naturally terrible.

"My life is so miserable, it's hard to live a new life, and I have to suffer this kind of thing."

He sighed, wiped the blood from the beads, carefully put them in his sleeve pocket, and continued to walk forward, muttering in his mouth:

"Anyway, it's not worth much, keep me Wei Ming and marry a daughter-in-law in the future."

Wei Ming is his real name, originally a young man from a poor family, who was reborn in an accident into this dead man.

Wei Ming of this era had already been killed by robbers, and all he saw when he crossed over was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so he didn't dare to breathe and pretended to be dead in place.

Fortunately, the robbers had already confirmed his death and did not come to mend the knife, so they were able to escape.

Bitterly stroking the blood hole in his chest that had long healed, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Hey, it's a pity that my Wei Ming's life is cheap......"

"Others are directly sealing the marquis and worshipping the prime minister, the family gate valve, how did I get to this way. "

He sighed in a low voice and continued to walk forward, but after taking two steps, he stopped and looked back at the pile of corpses, as if to engrave the tragic scene in his mind.

"No matter what, I, Wei Ming, am a good man! "

"Since I have come to this troubled time, I have made up my mind to assist the righteous king, so that the people will be prosperous and live in peace and contentment, and not ...... as they are now."

Wei Ming clenched his fists unconsciously, and the impact of the scene in front of him was a little too strong for him.

"In this life, even if I die, I will never be that coward who steals his life! I'd rather die than make a career. “

After saying this, Wei Ming resolutely turned his head, no longer paying attention to the pile of corpses that had already been cold, and walked forward.

The first priority is to find a populated place to settle down.

In this way, for seven consecutive days, I hurried without sleep.

There are mountains and wild areas along the way, and there are even wild beasts rampant, if it weren't for his cleverness, I'm afraid it would have become a meal on the plate long ago.

But even so, their daily livelihood depends on the wild fruits and clear springs in the mountains and forests, and they are somewhat stretched.

Seeing that the official road was getting wider and wider, and there were still traces of being run over by wheels on the road, his heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had not chosen the wrong direction.

Finally, on the evening of the eighth day, Wei Ming saw the faint smoke in front of him, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of joy.

"Finally found food!"

He said excitedly.

Wei Ming knew that where there was cooking smoke, there were people, and where there were people, there was food.

"It wasn't in vain. "

Thinking like this, he quickened his pace.

But at this moment, a cold voice sounded in his head.

[Congratulations on getting a skill point, do you want to learn?] 】

"Who? "

The sudden sound made Wei Ming's body tense instantly.

Seeing that no one answered, he asked again:

"Skill points? What are you talking about? "

As he spoke, he looked around vigilantly with his eyes.

But apart from the trees and grass, where is there half a figure around?

Could it be that he is hungry and confused?

Wei Ming thought to himself, rubbed his forehead again, looked around, and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, so he regarded it as an auditory hallucination, and then turned around and walked forward.

When he arrived at his destination, he saw a large table in front of a huge wooden house, on which there was a pot of broth, grilled fish and vegetables, and steaming hot, which looked very delicious.

All this made Wei Ming stunned, where is this? Why is there broth and fish, and greens? There's no one around, and you saw the smoke just now?

Could it be that you are still living in a dream?

slapped his face hard, making sure that all this was not a dream, and Wei Ming was relieved.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't think much about it, he was really hungry at this time, and the fatigue and hunger of running around for days made this seven-foot man's legs sore, and it was almost difficult for him to stand firmly.

Gritting his teeth, he limped towards the big table.

I'm sorry for the family, but now I really can't stand it, so I'll pay it back with the jewelry I picked up after eating.

After coming to the table and sitting down, he couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and drink it in a big gulp.

Goo dong goo dong~

The broth in the bowl was hot, but to Wei Ming, it was like a rain, pouring into his stomach at once, warming his dry stomach.

"It's so comfortable."

Wei Ming screamed comfortably in his heart, and sighed while swallowing heavily.

In the past few days, there has been almost no eye closure, except for the rush is the hurry, and now after drinking the hot soup, the whole person feels warm, as if he has suddenly recovered to the best state.

After drinking the soup, I didn't forget to pick up another piece of fish meat and put it in my mouth, and I immediately felt a delicious taste fill my mouth, spread along the tip of my tongue, and enter my stomach.

"Hmm, it tastes so delicious, this person's cooking skills are really not covered!"

Wei Ming ate until his mouth was full of oil, and he didn't forget to praise it.

This bite of fish, although ordinary, is not a precious ingredient, but it makes him feel extremely happy, as if he has eaten the world's delicious food all at once.

"Whew~"

I burped and wiped the oil stains from the corners of my mouth, and I suddenly felt refreshed and full of strength.

"Wait a minute, you must apologize, and then take out the jewelry to repay them."

Wei Ming thought to himself.

Although the jewelry I picked up was not worth much, it was more than enough for a meal.

Just as he was about to clean up the leftovers on the table, a sharp sound suddenly came to his ears.

"Don't move! If you move again, you'll die! “

"Huh?!"

Wei Ming was startled, turned his head suddenly, and saw a strong man standing not far away.

He was dressed in rough linen clothes, with a straw hat on top of his head, and a beard on his face, and he looked like a hunter, followed by a handsome girl.

The girl glared at Wei Ming with a pair of beautiful eyes, and asked fiercely, "Hey! You actually stole my family's things, are you too long?! “

When she noticed that the food on the table had already been eaten by Wei Ming, her face suddenly turned blue with anger.

"This is a day's food for my father and daughter, and you ate it alone? "

The girl's words trembled a little, obviously because she was not lightly angry.

But Wei Ming didn't dare to answer casually.

For the Orion had twisted his bow and arrows, and the cold, sharp arrows were aimed at his own head, ready to shoot him at any moment!

He only felt a chill in his back, and a trace of cold air penetrated into his body along the pores, as if the blood was frozen in an instant, making his whole body stiffen in place, and he didn't dare to make a move at all.

I was horrified in my heart, did I want to die here today?
