Chapter 4 Don't You Think of Me as a Friend?

"Calculate the time, less than two months, it is the period of the competition!"

As Yan Ziwu answered, a trace of melancholy slipped across An Ruoxi's face. What had just happened sent ripples through her heart. She didn't expect that there would be such a story in this Luoxia Villa.

"Elder Yan, there are two months left before the competition, but this Luoxia Villa has been burned down by the fire, so will this year's competition still be held?"

In fact, the reason why An Ruoxi cared so much was because when she woke up before, except that Yan Ziwu promised her to tell her clues about the burning of Luoxia Villa after she recovered. And these days, she has also asked Yan Ziwu many times where the people from Luoxia Villa have gone, but Yan Ziwu has excused herself on the grounds of waiting for her body to recover. Now that it has been mentioned, An Ruoxi naturally will not miss it.

"Well, this time not only will it go as scheduled, but the scale will be bigger than last time!"

Seeing An Ruoxi's little mood fluctuation from beginning to end, Yan Ziwu knew that this was due to this girl's character. She is the kind of woman who is elegant and generous, gentle and elegant, reserved and enthusiastic, and moody.

Not long after he informed An Ruoxi that they had just left that day, the patrol team of Northern Wilderness City also arrived at the scene. The next day, the five cities all received the city lord's order from the city lord of the Northern Wilderness City, asking each city to devote all the strength of the city to all the craftsmen in the city to Luoxia Mountain, which was directly controlled and dispatched by the Ministry of Engineering of the Northern Wilderness City, and worked day and night to rebuild Luoxia Mountain Villa; And in the future, the three departments of the North Wilderness City Military Department, the Household Department, and the Ministry of Rites will directly assign special personnel to manage it.

As of today, Luoxia Villa has been rebuilt for more than half a month, and all the news about it will basically be known in the entire Northern Wilderness for the first time, and everyone is equally concerned about the people of Luoxia Villa who suddenly disappeared. But so far, within a radius of ten miles from Luoxia Villa, not only have no corpses been found, but not even a single fresh corpse.

Hearing the news, the stone hanging in An Ruoxi's heart was finally put down. Just now, Yan Ziwu said that they had received the news that so far, within a radius of ten miles from Sunset Xia Villa, not only have no corpses been found, but not even a single fresh corpse. That is to say, even if the person she was thinking about fell off the cliff, God should bless him, just like in the TV series, he fell into the valley and fell on the dense leaves, and then was rescued by the good Samaritan.

As for the three people who may have been captured back by Luoxia Villa, they should have disappeared along with the people of Luoxia Villa. As long as there is no bad news, it is good news. And before that, I heard the owner of the Luoxia Mountain Villa say that it would be useful to sacrifice the five of them at the same time. In this way, as long as the five of them did not gather, then their lives should not be in danger. Maybe the one who fell off the cliff was also found by the people of Luoxia Villa, after all, those who chased him also chased him to the valley.

Thinking of these, An Ruoxi couldn't wait to go to the vicinity of Luoxia Mountain Villa to find them. When she told Yan Ziwu that she was going to find a friend of hers, she hoped to get Yan Ziwu's consent and help.

Although Yan Ziwu didn't believe what An Ruoxi said about finding a friend, he thought that Mu Shaoyang had told him to let her go to Luoxia Mountain to find him after An Ruoxi's body recovered, he guessed that maybe An Ruoxi said that the friend he was looking for was Mu Shaoyang, so he agreed to An Ruoxi's request by the way.

The next day, Yan Ziwu arranged for a convoy and carriage to escort An Ruoxi. Thinking that he was unfamiliar with life and had never seen anything else in this world, he did not refuse, and after thanking him again, he got into the carriage.

Along the way, she couldn't help but think about everything she had done since she came to this world.

When they suddenly appeared at Fallfall Villa, she just guessed that she had crossed over with them. The reason why there is this concept of crossing is because when she lived in Lanxing before, she often swiped short videos or novels of time travel when she played on her mobile phone, in which the protagonists all traveled to another world from the place where they lived before, like many of the anime that are now popular are crossed by the protagonists.

Originally, she was not interested in these things, but she never thought that this time-traveling plot would happen to her. The key is that she has also been in contact with it before, and the traversers in those novels either have jade pendants to activate the golden finger, or have a system, or have the knowledge of their previous lives to show their strength in the world they have traversed.

But she neither has a jade pendant to activate the golden finger, nor does she have a system. And when he was on the blue star, he was just an ordinary person who was born in the countryside and had no higher education. Like ordinary people, they are just ordinary people at the bottom of society, who have only been in compulsory education for nine years, and have no knowledge to show their strengths.

At first, with them by her side, she didn't think much about it, anyway, the people of Luoxia Villa were very good to them, she just wanted to be at peace when she came, and Mr. lived to see if she could find a way to travel back, after all, she was not from this world.

But she didn't expect that day, she overheard the owner of the farm and a mysterious person saying that when they recovered to their best state, they could all be sacrificed. Although she hadn't read much, she understood what sacrifice meant. It's no wonder that the people in the mountain villa are eating and drinking to serve a few of them these days, it turns out that they are raising a few of them for what kind of sacrifice!

She told them about the people who came into this world with her, and told them that although they may not be able to live if they escape, they will definitely die if they don't escape. That night, when she saw that the opportunity had come, several of them took advantage of the dead of night to escape from the clutches. But she still ignored the ability of the villa, and was discovered before she escaped. In the process of escaping, one of them fell into the valley, and when she went down the valley to look for her, the pursuers appeared. In order to prevent the pursuers from discovering her, the other two instructed the other person to protect her, and they themselves led the other person to lead the pursuers away in the other direction.

Later, she found the pursuers again, and the people who stayed with her also knocked her unconscious while she was not paying attention, and it was estimated that she also went to lure the pursuers away.

Although he said that he had not heard the bad news of their death now, the pain of separation, coupled with the guilt and self-blame in his heart, made An Ruoxi burst into tears again, and he was even more eager to arrive at Naluoxia Villa as soon as possible, so he asked the accompanying team to be as fast as possible. The middle-aged man who led the team was a man of temperament, and secondly, he also knew that An Ruoxi lived in Yan Ziwu's house these days, and he didn't dare to be lazy, so he hardened An Ruoxi's request and accelerated forward.

Two days later, the group finally saw Luoxia Mountain.

"Miss An, it's almost Luoxia Mountain, there is a wine shop in front, why don't you drink saliva and leave!"

Hearing the words of Shao Bing, the leader of the escort outside the carriage, An Ruoxi came back to his senses. Gently lifting the curtains, sure enough, the endless mountains not far away have appeared in view.

"Captain Shao and you, let's rest in front."

A group of thirteen horses and a carriage were tied to a tree next to the wine shop, and the shopkeeper greeted him diligently, "The guest officer has worked hard, and the little one is resting inside, and the small one will arrange good horse material for the guest officer's horse." ”

An Ruoxi got out of the carriage and looked at this seemingly familiar scene, which was a little unreal. Isn't this kind of scene often played in costume TV dramas? Under normal circumstances, most of the plots that follow will be encountered by bandits or that the store is a black shop.

The escort group of twelve people sat at two tables, and asked for a jar of wine in addition to the dishes. Shao Bing and An Ruoxi sat at a table, and seeing that he only needed food and tea, An Ruoxi couldn't help but ask, "Captain Shao doesn't know how to drink?" ”

Although Shao Bing is a middle-aged man who is tall and tall, he is a little cramped, "If you are dissatisfied with Miss An, you will be in the next place, but you still have to escort Miss, don't dare to slack off!" ”

An Ruoxi looked at the honest and stocky man in front of her, and suddenly thought that there are often performances on TV, those chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes are bold and like to make friends.

"Boss, we'll arrange for wine too!"

This "boss" was originally a common name used by the store in the world where An Ruoxi lived before, but at this time, it was so abrupt that the store didn't react for a while.

When the wine arrived, An Ruoxi took the initiative to pour a bowl and handed it to Shao Bing, and poured a bowl herself, "Captain Shao!" If I salute you, a bowl! ”

Seeing An Ruoxi, who had a good face and was wearing an apricot-white dress that only a rich lady could afford, took the initiative to toast to herself, Shao Bing was somewhat flattered. I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, but I didn't know how to express it.

An Ruoxi finished it in one gulp, and sure enough, it tasted the same as expected, similar to the splash wine from her hometown on the Blue Star, slightly spicier than the sweet wine.

poured another bowl for himself, and walked towards the other two tables, "Brothers, the little woman has been taken care of all the way, I can't thank you, I would like to use this wine, I salute all the big brothers, thank you, I will have the opportunity to repay you in the future!" ”

The twelve men also stood up one after another, and it could be seen that they were all honest and dutiful men, and they were somewhat caught off guard by this beautiful young lady's actions!

At this time, Shao Bing came over with wine, "Brothers, thanks to Miss An, the big guy respects Miss An!" ”

"Miss Jing'an!" As the voices of everyone rang out, the fourteen people drank it all at the same time.

After sitting back in his seat, Shao Bing poured wine and said with some discomfort: "I didn't expect Miss An to drink when she usually looks at Wenwen weakly?" ”

An Ruoxi smiled lightly, thinking that she had rarely drunk in front of people before, but it was not that she couldn't drink. Moreover, I often eat banquets and participate in parties in Lanxing, and I have heard people around me say that the ancient wine is not high because of the limited brewing technology, and the second is because it is pure grain and pure handmade brewing, so it tastes good and good to eat.

As soon as I poured the wine just now, I smelled the fragrance of rice wine, and with the mentality of giving it a try, I thought that I should be able to drink it myself, so I poured a bowl full of respect to Shao Bing. First, because she believed that the people around her would not fool her, and secondly, it was really hard for this team of guards to go all the way. Not only did he respect and be polite to himself, but he also took turns to stand by the carriage day and night, and he never lifted the curtain when handing water and food, which shows how much respect he has for himself. I also wanted to thank them from the bottom of my heart, so I thought about toasting.

"It's just that I can drink a little properly, and it's not enough to drink, Captain Shao doesn't care about me, although it tastes good." An Ruoxi said and filled Shao Bing with another bowl, and then took out the coil that Yan Ziwu prepared for her before leaving from her bag, although it was a white flower of loose silver like the one on TV, but An Ruoxi really had no concept of silver.

She had worn silver bracelets and the like when she was in Lanxing, but she had never thought about using silver as money.

She grabbed a little bit of the cloth bag containing broken silver and put it in the bag, then took out the entire cloth bag and handed it to Shao Bing, "Captain Shao, I came out to find someone in the mountains this time, and I won't need anything at that time, you can take these and have a few drinks with the other big brothers, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart!" ”

"This can't be helped!" Shao Bing seemed to be so frightened that he stood up directly, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Miss An, this is given to Miss Yan by Lord Yan, I don't dare to ask for it, and I ask Miss An to take it back." ”

"It's okay, I didn't give it all to you, I kept some. Besides, Elder Yan won't know, even if he does, this is what I willingly gave to you, he won't say anything! ”

"No, Miss An, we who are on errands can't take the master's property, this is the rule."

At this time, the other twelve people also heard the conversation here, and hurriedly came over to persuade them.

"Yes, Miss An, our errand is breaking the rules when we take the master's property!"

"Yes, if the higher authorities know that we don't follow the rules, we will be punished!"

"Miss An, you don't dislike us errand boys, and you already look up to us very much if you drink with us!"

"That's right, it's already a passover for us to drink with you."

……

Everyone, you and I said one sentence at a time, and I had to sigh that the thinking of this society is really pedantic. Although I don't know which planet this world is, it looks like the ancient or feudal society on the blue star is the same as the feudal society played on TV.

But she really didn't feel any different from herself, she really wanted to thank them. "I'm not your master, I'm your friend, even your sister. I'm sending you something as a friend. Do you think I'm a weak woman and don't deserve to be friends with everyone? ”

Everyone retorted wordlessly, An Ruoxi took advantage of the situation to stuff the money bag to Shao Bing, "Just when I invite everyone to drink, everyone should not be too little!" ”

"What did Miss An say, these are not things that can be drunk after drinking......" Shao Bing was a little embarrassed as he held the bag.

"Is it still called 'Miss An'? Don't you really think of me as a friend? An Ruoxi looked at Shao Bing and the others with a smile on her face and asked.

Shao Bing and the others suddenly hugged their fists in unison, and their simple and honest faces revealed sincerity, "Thank you, Miss An!" ”

An Ruoxi never thought that her whimsical move would make this group of men treat each other sincerely, and they would sincerely protect each other in the near future, so I won't mention it here for the time being.
