"Whoa...... Huh...... Whoosh......!"

A black tiger-type demonic beast was running rapidly in the desert, if anyone saw this demonic beast, they would definitely exclaim, because there was actually a person sitting on the back of the demonic beast, and this person and beast were Ouyang Yuhe Qiuqiu, who had been reduced to pets and mounts, huh...... When pets are sold cute, a little more.

Ouyang Yu set off from the royal capital should have a guard of honor and entourage, and it took eight days to ride the ball to the county seat of Carlos County, which is located in the eastern part of Carlos County with dense vegetation and relatively rich products, and nearly eighty percent of the population in the county is also concentrated in this area.

Ouyang Yu began to exercise his rights on the day he arrived in the county seat, and first took out an order issued in the name of Queen Riches, which required all the noble families in Carlos County to leave within a time limit, and the fief belonged to Ouyang Yu, as compensation Ouyang Yu needed to give each family two thousand gold coins, and the kingdom would also rearrange a fief slightly smaller than the original fief for them in a richer place to these families, this appointment was drafted by Ouyang Yu himself, in order not to want disobedient nails in his territory, and to clean up one by one It was too troublesome to simply drive them all away。

There are not many nobles in Carlos County, two viscounts, seven barons, these nine noble families have long wanted to leave the poor place of Carlos County, and after receiving the order, they all happily led their families with their belongings that had already been packed and left on the same day.

After that, Ouyang Yu spent two days without sleep to arrange the government affairs and the new administrative personnel and the prefect of the city guard, telling them that except for the tax rate in the territory from five to two layers, everything else remained unchanged for the time being, and she would deal with it when she returned, and then left the county town and ran all the way west.

After walking for two days, Ouyang Yu keenly found that the vegetation on the road began to decrease, the tall trees that used to be everywhere became more and more scarce, and the land slowly changed from a nutritious black to a nutrient-deficient yellow.

After two more days of walking, the scarce trees were replaced by low shrubs, the hills on both sides of the road were full of weathered gravel and small ravines washed out by the rain, there were no insects or birds, and there seemed to be silence except for the dust that the wind had blown and raised.

Ouyang Yu was wearing the Ghost King Cloak, and pulled up the hood behind the cloak to block the scorching light of the sun, it was already late autumn, but the temperature here was quite high.

"Roar, roar....... ”

Qiuqiu slowly stopped, and his huge head turned to Ouyang Yu and roared softly.

Ouyang Yu got down from Qiuqiu's back and took out a sheepskin bag filled with water, opened the stopper and put it to Qiuqiu's mouth to feed it water, and said at the same time: "That's it, you drink it all, wait until you find the water source and drink it to your heart's content." ”

Qiuqiu whimpered and nodded in understanding, and quickly drank half of the pouch of water in the sheepskin water bag.

Ouyang Yu looked at the ball that was drinking water, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick it on her chapped lips, she thought that there would be a lot of water on the road as usual, but she didn't expect that because of the influence of the Carlos cemetery, most of Carlos County has developed towards desertification, the further west you go, the more serious the desertification phenomenon becomes, it is difficult to find a water source, and the wind here is very strong, Ouyang Yu was sitting in a small sedan chair carried by the ghost was blown apart in an instant, so that the ghost's plan to carry it was frustrated, and she could only run on the ball, so she could only blame Ouyang Yu for not inquiring about the situation clearly and set off in a hurry。

After drinking the water, Qiuqiu's spirit was a little better, and he roared again to ask Ouyang Yu to sit on it again, Ouyang Yu turned over and jumped on Qiuqiu's back, and when she sat down, Qiuqiu immediately opened her thick limbs and ran in the direction of the setting sun.

"Hmm, there is fire?!" Ouyang Yu, who was carried by four skeletons and hurried overnight, lay in the small sedan chair and saw the light in the distance in a daze, there is firelight means that there are people, and some people mean that there is water, she has been thirsty all day and hurriedly ordered the skeletons to carry her to the firelight.

When Ouyang Yu was not far from the firelight, he took back the four skeletons and the small sedan chair, and walked quickly towards the firelight with the tired and thirsty ball that turned into a kitten-like ball.

When Ouyang Yu came closer, he saw clearly that the place where the fire was originally emitted was a village lookout, and a simple fence protected this small village.

"I can't imagine that there would be a village in such a deserted place. Ouyang Yu sighed as he approached the gate of the fence.

"Whoosh!" An arrow shot into the ground not far from Ouyang Yu, and the militia on the lookout shouted loudly: "What person?" Then the alarm bell was sounded, and after a while, a large group of disheveled people rushed to the fence with weapons and torches, and opened their bows and arrows, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

"What's going on?" asked a bearded, middle-aged man to the militia at vigil.

The night vigil militia pointed to Ouyang Yu below and said: "This person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, and it was too dark at night, and I didn't know if there was anyone behind him, so I rang the alarm according to the rules." ”

"Well, well done. The middle-aged man nodded appreciatively at the night vigil militia, and then squinted his eyes through the not-so-bright firelight and observed for a while before Ouyang Yu opened his mouth and asked loudly: "Who are the people below? What do you want to do when you come to our village in the middle of the night?"

Ouyang Yu pulled down the hood on his head and replied in a voice hoarse from thirst: "I'm just a passing traveler, I haven't drunk water all day and have no place to spend the night, I hope you can give me a little water and food, if you give me another place to spend the night, it would be best, I will pay." ”

"Traveler, traveling alone in the middle of the night, still trying to enter the village, fooling the undead. The middle-aged man didn't believe Ouyang Yu's words, he said: "It's too late now, it's inconvenient for us to open the door, we can give you water and food." ”

There is a roof and a bed, of course, it is best if there is no and it doesn't matter, she appeared alone at the door of someone else's village in the middle of the night, no matter how she looked at it, it looked very weird, she could understand if she didn't open the door, now the top priority is to find water to drink, hearing the water to drink, Ouyang Yu hurriedly shouted: "It's okay! ”

Soon a militiaman climbed down from the fence and caught the basket that had been dropped from above, in which were placed two pieces of black bread and a parchment bag filled with water.

"Here you go. The militia put the basket on the ground and then took two steps back carefully, Ouyang Yu walked up quickly, picked up the sheepskin bag, opened the stopper, and drank it, drank most of the bag in one go, and then woke up Qiuqiu and fed it the remaining small half bag of water.

After drinking the water, Ouyang Yu's voice returned to its normal voice, and shouted to the middle-aged man on the fence in a crisp loli voice: "I'm sorry, I'm so thirsty, can you give me a few more bags of water?"

"Little girl?!" The middle-aged man could not have imagined that the dwarf cloaked man who made them feel like a great enemy was actually a little girl, which aroused his interest, and he said to his companions, "I'll go down and take a look." After speaking, he picked up a sheepskin water bag and jumped down from the two-meter-high fence and walked to Ouyang Yu's side, handed the water bag to Ouyang Yu and asked, "Little Miss, are you alone?"

Ouyang Yu, who took the water bag and took a big sip again, replied, "Well, it's just me." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes kept staring at Ouyang Yu while he was drinking water, although there was a lot of dust and dirt on his little face, he was very beautiful and exquisite, and his body was blocked by the cloak and couldn't be seen, but judging from the arm holding the water bag, he should be very slim, and he would definitely be a beauty when he grew up, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed a trace of greed, and he smiled and asked pretending to be concerned: "Introduce yourself, my name is Duncan, what about the adults in your family, little miss?"

"Hello, my name is Vidnina Yu Ouyang. Ouyang Yu may be a master of the arts, and replied indifferently: "Escaped from home." ”

"Or a noble lady?!" Hearing Ouyang Yu's name, the middle-aged uncle, that is, Duncan, smiled even more happily, but his face pretended to be a commoner's panic when facing the nobles.

Duncan said to the militia who came down first, "Go and tell them to open the door." Then he said to Ouyang Yu: "I'm sorry little miss, because it's too dark, I can't see clearly that it is a lovely lady asking us for help, but I think you are a suspicious person, now that the misunderstanding is clear, you can enter our village to have a delicious dinner and rest for a good night." ”

"Thank you so much. "Ouyang Yu has been eating dried meat and hard bread these days, and he really wants to eat something hot and soft.

"Please. ”

Ouyang Yu followed Duncan into the village, and after entering Duncan's house, Duncan called his wife and whispered something in her ear, and Duncan's wife looked at Ouyang Yu and nodded with a smile.

"Please take a rest first, my wife go boil water, you wash the dust on your body first, and when you finish washing, dinner will be almost over, and you can rest well after dinner, what do you think?" Duncan said to Ouyang Yu.

"Thank you for your help, I will repay you. Ouyang Yu said with a smile.

Soon Duncan's wife boiled the bath water, Ouyang Yu took a bath happily, and after washing, Duncan's wife had already prepared food for her.

"Meow, meow, meow. "Qiuqiu smells the food and screams, it wants to eat too.

Ouyang Yu said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, can you prepare a piece of food for my pet too?"

Duncan and his wife looked at Qiuqiu together, and when they saw Qiuqiu's appearance clearly, Duncan and his wife's faces suddenly changed greatly, obviously recognizing Qiuqiu's identity, and his wife opened her mouth to shout, but Duncan stepped on the instep of her foot, "No problem, no problem." After speaking, he gave his wife a look.

Duncan's wife smiled awkwardly, endured the pain in her instep, and brought another piece of food and put it in front of Qiuqiu.

One person and one cat quickly finished eating the food that was not much for them, Ouyang Yu stood up and wanted to thank Duncan and his wife, as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy, shook his head, and the dizziness became stronger and stronger, and when he saw the smiles of Duncan and his wife, he realized that he had entered the "black shop", and then his eyes were black, he fainted, and the ball next to her shook a few times and fell on the table, and fell asleep.

"Honey, we're going to get rich!" Duncan's wife hugged Duncan and kissed him.

"That's right, if you give this noble lady to the boss, you will definitely get a big reward! Hahahaha......!"
