As soon as Xiao Meng saw someone coming, her expression instantly panicked, and she bowed her head and apologized: "Brother Ya'er, I'm sorry, I won't dare next time." ”

After speaking, she poked her head in the direction of Zheng Quqi, grinned embarrassedly, and the person ran away quickly.

Only the young man in Tsing Yi named Brother Ya'er was left standing in place with Zheng Quqi.

"You are the person Xiao Meng brought back from the camp? My name is Gongchen Ya, I'm their headhunter, I heard that you are looking for wound medicine? The boy was the first to speak.

Zheng Quqi pulled the brim of his hat, raised his eyes and looked at it, and was a little surprised on the spot.

Unexpectedly, in this group of scavengers, there is such a young man with sword eyebrows.

He was wearing a short scar patch, a young and thin one was not afraid of the cold, the sleeves on his hands were still pulled up to the elbows, he was pedaling a pair of cloth shoes, his hair was not as long as the nobles, but to the shoulders, and he tied a cloth towel at will, playful with a little childishness.

…… Such a cute boy, when he asked those people to mention him, there was a vague meaning that he was the main one, did he have a great background, or did he have outstanding abilities?

"My name is ...... Ruler, yes, I'm looking for medicine for my wounds, I'm injured and I need some medicine to wash my wounds. Zheng Quqi said.

The young man's eyes were bright, and when he laughed, there was a half of the smile on his cheeks: "Ruler? Is the ruler of the curved ruler? Could it be that your family is also a craftsman, and you chose such an interesting and beautiful name? ”

The young man smiled so hard that he showed a mouthful of white teeth, which was pleasing to the eye, and he did not notice anything abrupt in his words.

Also?

Who else is also a hundred workers?

Zheng Quqi said: "Uh, this name is actually very ordinary, but your name is even more special, Gongchen Ya, I don't know if Gongchen is the surname, or is the Gongchen surname?" ”

"The minister is a surname...... What about you, what's your last name? ”

"I am a refugee, I have abandoned my past and place of origin, and wherever I wander in the future, I will belong to wherever I belong, and I will marry wherever I marry in the future."

The young man didn't know if he saw her face just now, so he only mentioned the matter of medicine as an excuse, and then chatted with her about various miscellaneous things, which meant to inquire.

Is it perceiving something, or is it suspicious of something?

In short, now Zheng Quqi is no longer the simple "Zheng Crossing" she was at the beginning, she also has the scheming to "solemnly reborn" with the city government.

He asked from him, and she only picked some answers that could be answered, and those who were inconvenient to answer were vague and excused herself.

The two of you come and go, it seems that they are smiling and smiling, and the atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious, but in fact, the high wall is vertical, and the prevention is impermeable.

Gongchen Ya looked at Zheng Quqi for a long time with big black eyes, and sighed and stroked his forehead: "Okay, okay, I won't ask, you are so cautious, you don't look like a little girl at all." ”

"I've been married, so I'm not a little girl anymore." Zheng Quqi smiled.

The minister froze for a moment.

"Married at such a young age? Do you have fifteen? He asked, surprised.

"I'm sixteen."

"Sixteen will be married, you are really early to marry. As far as I know, there is only one law in Ye that stipulates that if a Chinese person turns sixteen, he must participate in the marriage procession. He was amazed.

Zheng Quqi didn't hear his other meaning: "I just got married early." ”

It was the first time Gongchen Ya saw such a strange woman, her whole body was tightly covered, and she also kept her past background secret, generally speaking, he would not deal with such a person.

But apart from the topic of herself, it is quite pleasant to talk about anything else.

This can only show that she has unspeakable secrets, but she herself is a woman with a clear mind and wisdom.

Gongchen Ya has an extreme temperament, and he will not have anything to do with uncomfortable people at first glance, but this woman called "ruler", he looks at it quite pleasing to the eye, so he doesn't care about those, and is willing to help her.

"Okay, you come with me, I'll take you to get the medicine."

The two walked to a makeshift low canopy, the top of which was paved with palm leaves, about half a meter from the ground, and the two sides should be covered with "ears" woven from dragon's whisker grass to form an arched living room.

She had never seen this form of residence before, so she looked at it a few more times and guessed in her heart...... Isn't this a crypt?

"Wait, I'll go in and get the medicine."

Lifting the straw curtain, he arched himself into the crypt.

Zheng Quqi had a novel attitude towards things that had not been lost, and she stepped closer, she lifted the curtain and looked at the "pothole", which happened to meet the pair of eyes raised by Gongchen Ya.

His eyes were bright in the dimness, and when he saw that it was her, he opened slightly, revealing doubts and inquiries.

And Zheng Quqi's little face was in a shadow, except for a pair of clear dog eyes that were abnormally moist, like a glittering treasure under the water under the sun.

Gongchen Ya looked at her pair of pupils and was stunned.

His throat and eyes were a little dry, and he said dumbly: "Waiting? ”

Zheng Quqi was slightly embarrassed, and she withdrew her head: "No, no, I'm just curious to see your residence, I've never seen this kind of digging in the ground before." ”

"Oh, yes, are you going to come in? Feel free to visit. "Gongchen Ya said generously.

Zheng Quqi thought about it and felt that it seemed like nothing to visit, so he walked down the three-step staircase.

It would be inaccurate to say that this is a crypt, but it is indeed very different from a house made of mortise and tenon.

She looked up and rolled up a light-filled slit in the corner so she could see everything inside.

A column supports the roof, the wall is inserted with dense wooden bones about 20 centimeters thick, the whole is made of loess and grass tendons, branches and leaves, there are "buttresses" on the inside of the wall, the wall should be grilled by fire, smooth and flat, solid and moisture-resistant.

This should belong to the semi-cave dwelling, a primitive and ancient way of living, but I didn't expect them to be around to this day.

She touched the hard walls and asked, "Is this your renovated house?" Built to keep you warm and cold in winter? ”

"That's right, it's also to hide and prevent beasts, snakes and rats at night, this area belongs to the suburbs, there are few pedestrians, and it is not safe to clean up."

"Then there must be a trench dug around here, right?" Zheng Quqi asked.

Gongchen Ya blinked: "You saw it?" ”

"No, I just think that the caveman lives underground, so it lacks sensitivity to some movements on the ground, and it also slows down the movement, in order to protect, it is best to dig trenches around it, causing obstacles and resistance, it will be safer."

Gongchen Ya listened to her words, and felt that she had simply spoken to his heart, and he nodded again and again: "You're right, it's really the first time you've seen our kind of cave dwelling?" I see that you are right. ”

Zheng Quqi said: "Well, maybe it's a hundred passes, the formation and longevity of any building need to go through the test of time, excellent is existing, cave dwelling appeared in the early years, but by the underground damp and heavy, and it is inconvenient to set up a stove, it is not easy to enter and exit, so it is not as livable as the current house." ”

Gongchen Ya also knew this problem: "Yes, this is just the cave dwelling of the predecessor we found, after a little cleaning, temporarily settle down in the residence, go up first." ”

After the two of them came out, Gongchen Ya held a small black jar in his hand, and he said: "This is the healing medicine prepared by one of our doctors, but it can't cure any injury, I have to see how the wound on your body is doing." ”

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course there are, such as knife wounds, scratches and falls, they are all different, and if the injury is serious, it is estimated that it will not work." Gongchen Ya said seriously.

Zheng Quchi was skeptical of this, but since he asked for help, he naturally had to do what the other party said: "Okay." ”

"You come with me."

Gongchen Ya took Zheng Quqi to the bottom of a small canopy they had built, which was usually a place for cooking, and the ashes of the firewood were still warm, so he brought a stone for her to sit down first.

The injured person is in a weak constitution, and it is freezing at the moment, and it is inevitable to lift his clothes when examining the wound, at least it will be warmer here.

He squatted in front of her, and the little boy had a fragrant orchid fragrance, refreshing and smelling.

"They said you were injured in the arm, will you come or will I come?" He asked uninhibitedly.

Zheng Quqi felt that there was no big problem, so he said, "I'll tear it down." ”

She lifted her sleeve to the crook of her arm, and slowly removed it, this was the first time she saw her wound, much better than expected, not festering and suppurating, but a little reddened around it.

The princess approached the cliff and observed carefully: "What kind of injury is this?" ”

"Whiplash."

She replied quickly, and the unexpected honesty stunned the minister, who thought she was going to lie again.

"Oh......"

Who would be wounded by a whip?

Fugitive?

Or is it......

"The wound doesn't hurt too much, but it's a little itchy for the past two days."

Gongchen Ya came back to his senses, and he said, "I guess it's going to scab...... You're a good wound med, who bandaged you before? ”

Zheng Quqi was stunned and replied: "Do you still know how to distinguish whether the wound medicine is good or not?" ”

"It's not, it's just that there is a saying that a long illness becomes a good doctor, I have seen a lot more, how much can I distinguish, do you have many injuries on your body? Need help? He asked.

Zheng Quqi hesitated for a moment, but decided to be honest: "Yes, I have it on my body and on my back." ”

She can still get it herself in front, but the wound on the back is difficult to paint.

Gongchen Ya was stunned for a moment.

Although this whiplash now looks no longer as hideous as it was at the beginning, Gongchenya has seen a lot of injuries, and of course she knows the severity of her injury, and there are more whip marks on her body......

With such an injury, how did she, such a petite and thin woman, come all the way?

Gongchen Ya Adam's apple rolled a little, he handed her the medicine jar, and said, "I'll ask Xiao Meng to help you in a while." ”

Zheng Quqi has no long things, and the only valuable thing at the moment is the gold and jade bracelet that "Liu Fengmian" gave at the beginning.

She took it out, held it in the palm of her hand, and opened her mouth: "I don't have any silver on me, I'll take this and exchange it for medicine with you, is it okay?" ”

Gongchen Ya saw the back of her strong hand: "This...... It's precious. ”

Zheng Quqi said: "Compared with life, it is just something outside the body. ”

Hearing her say this, Gongchen Ya smiled: "This is someone else who sent you?" ”

Zheng Quqi lowered his head: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because listening to you, you are a free and easy person, and you will not hesitate if you have a choice, if it is something that you love and precious, and use it to save your life at a critical moment, you should not be so entangled and hesitant."

Gongchen Ya was thinking, could this be sent by her husband? What about others?

Abandoned her, or died?

Zheng Quqi didn't defend himself, and said directly: "Don't hesitate, let's change." ”

She gave him the gold and jade bracelet before she took the medicine jar.

Gongchen Ya didn't plan to take away her cherished things, but when she thought that this was a token of love from her husband, she said to her: "Then I'll accept it first, but I'll just keep it for you temporarily, and when you have money in the future, you can come and redeem it." ”

“…… Thank you. ”

He stood up on his knees, and a certain thought lingered in his mind for a long time, and finally blurted out: "Since you have fled to this place, you have no relatives and no reason, it is better for you to follow us in the future, I think I am quite close to you." ”

"With you? Do what? Zheng was surprised by his invitation.

Gongchenya's eyes lit up: "Xiao Meng didn't tell you, what do we do?" ”

"She said you are scavenger hunters, picking up useful things from all over the place to sell your life." Zheng Quqi said.

"That's right."

"Pick up what? Is there anything in the camp that you can sell for money? ”

Gongchen Ya smiled mysteriously: "That's too much, do you see those barracks tents?" If it is dismantled, it can be sold, and there are wooden poles and all kinds of wooden buildings, which can be sold by car and transported to other places. ”

"You even sell this?" Zheng Quqi's eyes narrowed.

These are things she never expected.

"Why not? In this world, as long as someone bids, we can pick up everything and send it to sell. Gongchen Ya said as a matter of course.

At this time, Zheng Quqi seemed to understand the nature of their work.

No wonder it's called a hunter...... What's the difference between this and those mercenaries?

Anyone who bids, even if it's a dead man's grave, they'll dig it up.

"I ...... Can you think about it first? ”

"Of course you can, ruler, I'll call your name directly in the future, you can call me Ya, or Brother Ya'er."

The young man's suspicions and temptations are true, and it is true that he sincerely invites her to join, but he is quite a personality, with both the suspicion and vigilance of adults, and the straightforwardness of young people.

——

Later, Xiao Meng made a basin of hot water and came over to wipe her wound and reapply the medicine.

Zheng Quqi out of politeness: "Thank you." ”

Xiao Meng immediately blushed: "Where, Sister Ruler, I'm apologizing to you, I'm so sorry before, I was ignorant and offended you." ”

"Forget it, I don't blame you."

Xiao Meng saw Zheng Quqi's injuries all over his body, and his eyes couldn't bear it: "Sister ruler, do you have someone you like?" ”

Zheng Quqi also had a little sister before, so he naturally knew that once the other party started this, he would definitely have a later story.

She immediately decided: "I don't have someone I like, but I'm married." ”

"Really?" Xiao Meng happily raised his voice, as if he was relieved: "That, that's good." ”

"What?"

Xiao Meng said embarrassedly: "I, I like Brother Ya'er, I'm worried...... Sister Ruler will rob me, but when Ruler gets married, I'm relieved. ”
