Chapter 118: Scavenger Hunter
Is Yuwensheng's current expansion of business so wide? Even the giant deer, a powerful country in armament, is not afraid at all?
Because he was too surprised, and because he suddenly heard that Yu Wensheng was only a few kilometers away from her, Zheng Quqi was stunned for a while, and ignored the aura of the people around him.
"Who are you? What are you hiding there for? β
A delicate cry sounded behind her, and Zheng Quqi turned around, but saw a girl with pigtails staring at her with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, looking like she was being treated as a suspicious character.
"IβI'm a fugitive......" Zheng Quqi hurriedly explained.
She didn't suppress her voice at this time, pretending to be a man's voice, of course, at this time, it was more convenient to use the identity of a woman, and to lower the other party's psychological defense line with weakness and harmlessness.
A double-braided girl dressed in a sackcloth and gray dress looked at her suspiciously, she lifted the basket on her shoulder and approached Zheng Quqi.
Zheng Quqi pulled up the sleeve on his arm and exposed the wound on the bread: "I, I didn't hide on purpose, I'm just a little scared, I'm injured and looking for medicine." β
Although Zheng Quqi wrapped herself tightly, a long hanging cloak from head to foot, showing no traces, her clear and soft voice was not fake, and she was a petite injured woman.
The sound of their conversation attracted the others, and the Orions in the vicinity gathered around.
Zheng Quqi saw a group of these people, there were about a dozen men and women, all dressed in tatters, carrying a bamboo basket on their backs, which was used to hold things, and they were all holding sticks in their hands, the front was sharpened, the middle section was jagged, and the tail end was a hook.
Out of the sensitivity of the craftsman's profession, Zheng Quqi's eyes were fixed on it for a long time, and after some observation, he felt that this stick was a little interesting.
Its versatility looks like a stick-like stick, but it can cope with a variety of scenarios, such as sawing, poking, opening, probing, pulling, hanging and so on.
I don't know who designed it, but it's a good idea.
When he saw Zheng Quqi dressed in suspicious clothes, he would inevitably be interrogated.
Zheng Quqi stabilized his mind and quickly compiled a set of identity sources in his mind.
She disguised herself as an ordinary fugitive from another country, who had companions, but either disappeared or was killed or injured by robbers.
Only then did he come here with hardship and hardship, and because he was hungry and tired, he saw a deserted camp, so he didn't care about anything else, and came in to rest.
Unexpectedly, she would meet them when she woke up, and at this time, she shrunk her shoulders "in disbelief", perfectly interpreting the image of pity and helplessness.
"What about you, who are you?"
After hearing her experience, everyone really sympathized, and their attitude was not as harsh as before, especially the murderous girl just now, she hurriedly came up and took Zheng Quqi's hand to show comfort and friendliness.
Someone asked her, "We are scavenger hunters, have you heard?" β
"I ...... I don't know much. She shook her head blankly.
The little girl with double pigtails is a rectum, and she told Zheng Quqi directly: "Oh, it's not so good-sounding, it's just like a beggar, but we don't stretch out our hands to beg for money, but rely on our own skills to walk through the streets and alleys, go to all kinds of abandoned places, and find something that can be eaten, used, and sold to survive, do you understand?" β
Oh, I see, according to the understanding of modern people, it is commonly known as a waste picker who picks up garbage and sells scrap.
Unexpectedly, she could still see such an advanced social group in the Giant Deer Country, and she was a little curious about how these people were organized and formed, and what were their constituent members.
However, like in today's world, everyone lives in a tight situation, there is little extravagance and waste, and there should be nothing for them to pick up in ordinary towns and streets.
That's why they ventured out of the city and into the abandoned camp...... In other words, these scavenging hunters are not picking up ordinary garbage as she understands it.
The word hunter is worth studying.
If you think about it through this idea, they may not only be not small, but also have a certain number of informants, so that they can provide their location in time.
Seeing that Zheng Quqi was silent, a man thought that she was frightened, so he lowered his voice and said: "Little girl's family, you are also unlucky, you came to our Julu Country at this time, but fortunately you didn't enter the city, otherwise, you would only be more scared at this time." β
"What's wrong?"
The timid girl who was afraid of death came back to her senses, and she dared to ask questions at this time.
"From which country are you from? Have you ever heard of Ye Guo's living Yan Luo Yu Wensheng? Hey, Wind Valley Sand City has fallen into his hands, the first thing he did after breaking through the city gate was to control the entire Wind Valley Sand City, close the city gate, and no one was allowed to enter and go out, if you were in the city at that time, I was afraid that at this time, you would only be worried day and night, and you would not be able to live in peace. β
When it comes to this person, there are really few people who can guarantee a stable mentality, and they are all scared and frightened, and their faces are resistant.
How could Zheng Quqi not know other people's evaluation of Yu Wensheng and the fear that penetrated into the bone marrow, she used to have the same hatred as them, but now she ...... MD, how does she feel that when others mention Yu Wensheng, she herself will be inexplicably uncomfortable?
It's her business, she really thinks she's Yu Wensheng's wife!
She sneered, "Heβwhat is he going to do?" β
"I said I was looking for someone." The little girl answered her.
Zheng Quqi felt strange: "Who did he come to the Giant Deer Country to find?" β
Enemy or relative?
Seeing that she didn't know anything about Xiaobai, other scavenging hunters kindly talked to her about the recent events.
"It is said that it was Sima of the border army who kidnapped Yu Wensheng's wife, so he went crazy all over the city to find someone, I heard that someone saw him that day, he shuttled through the city in a bloody suit, and captured all the soldiers who participated in the battle, and those who intended to escape, everyone must ask, where is my wife, this is not easy to find a person who seems to know the inside story, but said that this person was lost, and he was lost in the camp."
The man spoke vividly, and after speaking dryly, he swallowed his saliva a little, and continued: "Although the living Yama said that he didn't believe it, he still led the troops to run without saying a word, raided the camp, and turned it upside down, but unfortunately no one was found...... His wife disappeared, and Sima fled with the remaining remnants of the army. β
Therefore, this camp was abandoned by a group of giant deer soldiers who fled for their lives in a hurry.
"This, I also know, this Sima ran away, and the wife of the family is gone, everyone thinks that Sima took the lady away, as soon as he returned to the Wind Valley Sand City, he was furious, and took the guard General Yang and the troops of the Wind Valley Sand City, plus the people of that city as a threat, told Sima to hand over his wife within three days, otherwise he will stain the Wind Valley Sand City with blood."
Zheng Quqi's eyes were full of shock after hearing this.
"He, his wife?!"
How could he come looking for his wife? Did he recognize her, or did he marry someone else's woman in the Giant Deer Country?
"You're surprised that that kind of person would marry like an ordinary person." The pigtailed girl scoffed.
What kind of person is "that kind of person"?
Zheng Quqi lowered his eyes: "Did he say, who is his wife?" β
"It seems to be that the surname is Zheng, oh, I remember, it's called Zheng Quqi, then Yu Wensheng widely spread the group notice, which can be regarded as nailing this name into our ears like a stake."
Zheng Quqi gasped: "He, he hates his wife so much, he has to chase and kill him thousands of miles?" β
Everyone looked at her in shock.
They couldn't believe how her brain circuits were structured, although from their standpoint, Yu Wensheng was definitely a big devil who killed people without blinking.
But for his wife, such a love story, not to mention a heart-wrenching love story, can be regarded as a perverted touching deed to find his wife, how did it come to her mouth and become a horror story about killing his wife?
The corners of the double-pigtailed girl's mouth twitched: "He is so aggressive, he must want to find his wife." β
"yes, find it and kill it." Zheng Quqi said with a determined face.
There was a moment of silence.
The pigtailed girl couldn't understand: "No, why did he kill his wife after so much effort to find him?" β
This time it was Zheng Quqi's turn to be silent.
There are many reasons.
For example, he thinks that she lied to him.
The promised rural love story has turned into a spy war lurking.
Every time the two of them met, they didn't know each other, she disguised herself as a man as a craftsman, and he disguised himself as a blind man, and there were all kinds of deception and unhappiness between the two.
Also, he knew that she was not only a meticulous work of the Mo family, but also a giant deer spy, who was originally just casually trying to solve a subordinate of Erwuzai, but he didn't expect that this person actually had another layer of identity hidden - his new wife.
It is estimated that he now regards her as a shame and unbearable, and in order to completely eliminate her black history, he does not hesitate to carry out cross-border pursuit...... Right?
"You say three days...... If Mo Ye can't hand over people within three days, he will really slaughter the city? Zheng Quqi was a little unconvinced.
But others believed: "Jun has no jokes, although he is not a king, but he is also a true word, this should not be a lie." β
"Don't worry, Sima will definitely hand people over, for the sake of the people of the city and General Yang, he will not ignore it, but I don't know what will happen when Sima meets Yu Wensheng of Ye State tomorrow."
They are optimistic at the moment, just because they are sure that the so-called lady was taken away by Sima Moye, as long as there are people, then Yuwen Sheng will not go to the ultimate step.
But Zheng Quqi knew that if the lady in their mouths, the "Zheng Quqi" in Yu Wensheng's mouth, was really her, then the problem now ...... It's troublesome.
Mo Ye may not be able to hand over a "Zheng Qu ruler" to Yu Wensheng at all.
The wounds on her body began to feel numb, and she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, or if the injuries were starting to worsen, she felt that she was a little out of breath, and her heart was like a heavy stone.
"It's a bit presumptuous, the wounds on my body are a little festering, and I urgently need to change the dressing, I wonder if you have any herbs for external injuries? If there is, I am willing to exchange it for gold and jade. β
In this era, everything is expensive, especially the lack of medicines, which has caused high-priced drugs, and she is embarrassed to ask for other people's medicines, so she naturally has to give money.
They saw that this little girl was polite and sensible, and had gone through some hardships, but there was no resentment and sadness in her words, but she suddenly became bright, which made people feel good.
"We don't have it on us, but Brother Ya'er does, so it's better for you to go back with us."
"I don't know where that Ya'er brother is now?"
"He seems to have relatives in Wind Valley Sand City, because he is worried, so he has been guarding near the city gate for the past few days, just waiting for the three-day deadline to arrive, and after opening the city gate, he will sneak into the city to save people."
Zheng Quqi couldn't help frowning, she didn't want to go to Wind Valley Shacheng: "I don't know, how far is it from this nearest town pharmacy?" β
"That's far away, we are the most remote and barbaric place in the Giant Deer Country, not only connected with the border of Ye Country by a moat, but also next to the barbarian grassland tribe, if you want to rush to another city, just walk on your feet, it will take more than half a month."
Zheng Quqi: "......"
Half a month? She couldn't afford to wait for three days, and she ...... about risking her injuries or dying of septicaemia Choose to live.
"Then please take me to Brother Ya'er."
"Let's go, we've stepped on a good foot, just wait for the next trip to move things, I'll take you there now."
Moving things?
What are they moving?
In this camp, except for some heavy ordnance defenses, there seems to be nothing of value, right?
"Thank you."
Thank you for being so simple and willing to help a stranger.
After packing the rice she had gathered, she followed them on the road.
Along the way, the little girl with pigtails called "Xiao Meng" often came over to talk to her, but Zheng Quqi had something in her heart, but she responded without a word, and she was not enthusiastic, she just wanted the other party to understand that she was in a bad mood and not to bother her.
However, Xiao Meng didn't care, she only thought that this young lady was a shy person with few words.
"Why do you keep your head down and cover your face with your hat, are you hurt on your face?"
"Nope."
Zheng Quqi shook his head.
Along the way, Xiao Meng was too curious about the appearance of this young lady, so after arriving at the destination, everyone else left, and when she went to report the harvest of this trip, she suddenly ripped off her hat.
Zheng Quqi moved quickly, although he didn't have time to stop Xiao Meng's movements, but he turned his face around as soon as possible and raised his sleeves to cover his face.
Although he only glanced at it in a hurry, Xiao Meng was a little stunned.
If it was before, Zheng Quqi didn't care about showing her face, but since she knew that Yu Wensheng was looking for her, she was worried that her portrait would be circulated, so she didn't want to be seen clearly, so she was criticized in vain.
At this time, a hand reached out from behind to thoughtfully pull back the brim of her hat that had slipped off, and by the way, he raised his slap and slapped Xiao Meng's forehead.
"Slap" was crisp, and Xiao Meng hurriedly hugged his head and cried.
"Nonsense, things that others don't want to do, you do it toughly, just to satisfy your curiosity, have you forgotten what respect is?" A bright and clean male voice said with a sullen accusatory.
