Zheng Quqi asked the location clearly, and then also went all the way to the "shell forest", she recalled that on the way to come, passing by a red pine forest, and when the season came, the pine cones were ripe, and they could also save a lot of pine nuts.

There are many people in the shell forest who are digging something in the ground, and there is little food that can be found in winter, and people are afraid that they will not be able to survive if they do not hide some food for the winter.

Zheng Quqi roughly estimated the size of the forest, there is about dozens of acres of land, all of which are more than ten meters high trees, presumably the annual yield of chestnuts must not be low.

Gan Xin didn't understand what she was thinking, so she asked, "Master, aren't you going to find someone?" ”

"Looking for it, but I just thought that a deal might have been done, so I came over to take a look." She said.

"Buying and selling? Master still knows how to do business? ”

Gan Xin thinks that Zheng Quqi only understands civil engineering, not like he also understands business?

Zheng Quqi shook his head: "I don't understand much, so I have to investigate this matter from someone who really understands it, and I can at most come up with an idea." ”

She first kept this matter in mind, prepared a demonstration project, and then talked to the local government to see if she could expand the development of poverty alleviation and solve the dilemma of a large loss of population, abandoned arable land, and poverty in Wubao.

There was a large area of reeds in front of the wind ferry, Zheng Quqi looked at the lake that had been frozen by snow and frost, the cold north wind was blowing, the reeds were swaying with the wind, as if dancing, and the unique scenery made her stop and watch for a while.

The rush of time and heavy tasks have made her not calm down so quietly for a long time, looking at the sky, the earth, and the scenery in front of her.

The earth is vast under the sky, and the reeds in the wind are like plucked strings, showing stillness with movement, and everything becomes silent and mysterious.

But all good things are often accompanied by sudden danger, I saw that suddenly an arrow wind passed through the reeds in the ferry stream, and the strong wind overwhelmed the reeds and parted ways, and shot towards Zheng Quqi's side at a high speed.

Before she could react, Gan Xin's cold gaze behind her instantly caught a direction, and she had already jumped away like a swift flying leopard.

He snatched the bone arrow, rubbing his body like a powerful whirlwind, although there was no mad knife in his body, but his body and internal force were still domineering, only to see a turn of the head, Zheng Quqi saw that he had caught the hidden arrow to hurt people.

"Let go of the tile, let go of the tile!"

It is a young barbarian who is only waist-high Gan Xin, and it is not difficult to recognize that the barbarian's clothing and appearance are obviously different from those of the Central Plains.

He struggled desperately in the tall Gan Xin's palm, but he was suppressed to death, the bow and arrow in his hand fell, and he immediately scolded: "Damn Ye people, let go of the tile, let go of the tile!" ”

Zheng Quqi frowned, and looked behind the barbarian boy, and there was no one else following, she felt both ridiculous and surprised.

This kid looks like he's only eleven or twelve years old, how dare he?

When he inadvertently met his resentful eyes, Zheng Quqi couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Gan Xin, lift his head." Her voice was warm and light, like a stream, soft to the touch, and cold.

Gan Xin immediately did so, one hand tied Xiao Manyi's arm, and the other clamped his chin, causing his face to rise.

Zheng Quqi approached, she met his eyes, and he looked at her.

After a long time, Zheng Quqi asked, "Look at it, my eyes are very similar to his?" ”

Gan Xin was stunned for a moment, carefully observed the difference between the two eyes, but shook his head: "It's not like that." ”

Her eyes were bright and bright, like stars in the water, but the eyes of this barbarian were like wolf cubs, and he knew that he was a cruel man because he dared to shoot arrows and kill people.

Zheng Quqi didn't believe it, and asked other people behind him, some of these soldiers said that they were a little similar, and some said that they were not quite like it.

Everyone couldn't figure out Zheng Quqi's mind at this time, why was she asking if her eyes were not like a barbarian?

In fact, what they said was not wrong, Zheng Quqi and Xiao Manyi's eyes were not very similar, but the color of their pupils was very similar.

Zheng Quqi's pupils are much shallower than those of Ye Guoren, and their pupils are that kind of tan, which is a little different from their dark eyes.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, in modern times, people with pupil colors like her abounded, but then she slowly discovered that the natives in Ye Country were all such normal black pupils.

It's the barbarian or barbarian hybrids that have the pupil color of this situation, they have blue and blue eyes, and more often have brown and brown pupils.

Zheng Quqi suspected that this Sang Xuan Qingzu could not be mixed with the bloodlines of other races, right?

It's just that her facial features are soft, her eyelashes are thick, and she looks like a pure Central Plains person, otherwise it would be easy to cause trouble for her with such eyes.

Zheng Quqi was not in a hurry to ask Xiao Manyi why he killed her, but was curious about who he was.

"What tribe are you? What is it called? ”

"Phew-" The little barbarian was so arrogant that he turned his head and said nothing.

But when Gan Xin looked at him with a pair of cold eyes that looked at the night cry, he immediately became a little cowardly.

“…… Zhu Zhu. ”

She really doesn't know which tribes the barbarians have, but isn't Zhu Zhu the tribe that is in trouble in Wubao's heart?

Wubao is located in the northwest, the landform here is complex and diverse, you can see the mountains, plateaus, Pingchuan, river valleys, deserts, Gobi and so on in the distance, originally Wubao and Luochuan, Lian Yin are all Ye country territory, but Luochuan and Lian Jia were occupied by the Zhu tribe in the early years, so far Ye has not recovered the lost land.

The Zhu tribe is long and narrow distributed in Ye, Hongsheng and the border of the Beiyuan Kingdom, obviously adjacent to the three countries, but they are persimmons to pick soft pinch, the two countries dare not provoke, only frequently run to the side of Wubao to be demons, causing the people of Wubao to be miserable, full of complaints.

"Zhu Zhu?"

Zheng Quqi just got a piece of information here, but Gan Xin obviously knew some inside information, and the next second he quickly searched from the little boy, and sure enough, he found a lot of bottles and cans.

Zheng Quqi was puzzled by his behavior: "Gan Xin, what's wrong?" ”

Gan Xin said solemnly: "The people of the Zhu tribe are a little special, they are more general than other barbarian tribes in all aspects, but they are good at casting Gu, and their methods are vicious and insidious, so they must be guarded against. ”

Zheng Quqi was stunned.

Poison?

"Give back the tile, return the things of the tile to the tile, you despicable and shameless Central Plains people, let go of the tile, the tile will kill you!" Seeing that his important things were taken away, and there was no hope of escaping, the little barbarian immediately went berserk and shouted angrily: "Wa curses you, Wa-"

Gan Xin directly pulled a handful of grass and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes widened, and his eyes were red with anger.

"Tie people up first, I think his identity shouldn't be simple."

Look at this dress, it is much richer than the people of Wubao, all kinds of silver jewelry are worn on the body, and the tone and demeanor are so capricious that they are not like ordinary Zhu Barbarians.

After taking the person down, Gan Xin asked Zheng Quqi: "Master, why don't you continue to ask him why he killed?" ”

"He won't say it."

Gan Xin didn't think so, if he was soft, he would be hard, how much could a little kid handle.

understood his thoughts, but Zheng Quqi asked him: "Then can you be sure that what he confided is true?" ”

Gan Xin was silent.

This kid looks dishonest at first glance, and he really can't tell.

"I still have a way of dealing with this kind of bear child."

She took out the map and looked at it again, the troops were stationed by the Mohe River, probably a few hundred meters away from the stream, this kid ran here to squat and ambush, who was he originally going to deal with, why did he shoot the arrow at her in the end?

With all kinds of doubts and unreasonableness, Zheng Quqi deliberately sent others away and spent time alone with him during his lunch break.

After Zheng Quqi waited for him to calm down, he pulled out the grass in his mouth and brought him delicious food.

The little barbarian was indeed hungry, but he didn't accept the food he came, and pursed his lips and eyes.

"Boy, you sneaked out, didn't you?"

Her casual words made Xiao Manyi's eyes widen and he looked at her vigilantly.

Zheng Quqi smiled, her face was kind, and she looked very good for people's eyes, and after looking left and right, she secretly said to him: "Actually, I am also a member of the Zhu clan." ”

Of course, the little barbarian didn't believe it: "Fart! ”

Seeing that he finally replied, Zheng Quqi immediately took out evidence.

"Look in my eyes."

She deliberately widened her eyes to let him see, and sure enough, when she saw her brown eyes, the little barbarian was stunned for a moment.

"You-"

"My mother is from the Zhu tribe, but my father is from the Central Plains, so I look like this, but I know that I also have the blood of the Zhu tribe in my body, so although you want to kill me, I can't bear to kill you." Zheng Quqi made up a short story in a serious way.

However, the little barbarian is not so easy to deceive: "You liar, you didn't say that just now." ”

"There were so many people that I couldn't expose myself, you didn't believe me?"

"I don't believe it."

"Then if I let you go, will you believe me?"

The little barbarian was surprised: "You really let me go?" ”

Zheng Quqi said sincerely: "Well, of course, but not now, you have to wait until they all sleep at night, and then I will quietly let you go." By the way, there is a question that I have always been unable to understand, do you have a grudge against me, why did you ambush me in the stream to kill me? ”

Xiao Manyi didn't know if what she said was true or false, he was confused by her.

Although he told him in his mind not to trust a stranger easily, he wanted to believe that what she said was true, after all, although he seemed to be calm, but in fact he was only twelve years old, far from the strong psychology of an adult, this time he was caught, his heart was actually full of remorse and fear.

He pursed his lips, and his heart was entangled for a long time before he spoke: "...... I quarreled with Ada (father), I just wanted to kill a very powerful person to prove that I was stronger than my brother, I saw that so many of them surrounded you, thinking that your identity must not be simple, so I wanted to kill you and go back to the tribe to ask for credit. ”

"I see, but Taylor is indeed very remarkable, good archery, and brave, I believe that Lerthai must be better than your brother, and one day your Ada will definitely treat you differently." By the way, my name is Zheng Quqi, what is your name? ”

Xiao Manyi thought that she would be very angry when she heard it, but she didn't expect that she still looked gentle with a smile, not only was she not angry, but she wanted to exchange names with him, he stammered a little: "I, my name is Lerthai." ”

The women of the tribe are very fierce, and it is the first time he has met this kind of confidant big sister type, and he can't fix it at once.

"Lerthai, why did you sneak out alone, how dangerous this is, aren't you afraid of being caught by the Ye army stationed?" Zheng Quqi said disapprovingly.

Lerthai raised his chin: "Of course I'm not afraid, I've said that the new general of Ye Guo has his own way to deal with it, and he said that he has already seen that he is in -" (End of chapter)
