Five days later.

The Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, near Qingshan County.

In the howling cold wind, a caravan slowly moved forward on the hard frozen soil, and a man in a thick coat squinted into the distance, and under the dusk sunset, the outline of a city was getting closer and closer.

"What the hell is this...... It's really cold. The man held a stove in his arms and couldn't help but scold.

"Hold on a little longer! It's Qingshan County ahead! ”

"After this trip, the big guy will be able to enjoy a few days of Qingfu, beautiful people, fine wine and food, everything in Qingshan County!"

The man shouted as he quickened his pace towards the city-state, when a voice came from beside him:

"Brother, is there a person lying in the snow over there?"

The man was stunned for a moment, looked along his fingers, and saw that in the snow not far away, there was indeed a faint figure, and he didn't know whether he was dead or faint, motionless.

"Where did the beggars come from? On such a cold day, if you wear such a little bit, you dare to beg outside, and you will only have a ghost if you don't freeze to death. The man snorted coldly, "A few of you go over to see if you are alive or dead, and if you still have a breath, you can take it into the city along the way, which is considered to be a matter of virtue." ”

Several figures hurried towards the snow, and one of them, after snorting, carried it behind him and hurried towards it.

"Brother, I'm still alive, it's a woman."

"Count her fate, and throw her on the wagon with the goods."

Several people immediately threw the figure into the carriage, and with the bump of the caravan, they entered Qingshan County together.

The caravan crossed the streets, looking for people to hand over and unload, and in a short time the carriage was empty, leaving only the figure lying alone on the plank, as if dead.

"Brother, what should she do?"

The man snorted, walked up to her with the stove in his arms, and looked at her carefully.

The woman was dressed in a shabby blue dress, her body was covered with scabbed wounds, and her black hair covered with blood was messily draped over her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly, if it weren't for the wisps of white gas floating out of her nose, like a corpse in the wild.

The man reached out with some disgust and patted her cheek, the eyelashes stained with ice and snow trembled slightly, and a slit opened weakly.

"Hey, can you still move? If you can, you can go on your own. The man took out a few taels of silver from his arms and stuffed them into her hand, "We have done everything we can, don't die here, it's not easy for us to be in laymen, don't get bad luck on us." ”

The woman staggered to her feet, holding the plank with both hands, and her eyes swept around blankly:

"Where is this?"

"Qingshan County."

"Qingshan County ......" she muttered the name, and a touch of clarity appeared in her cloudy eyes, "City-state? Did you bring me into the city? ”

"Yes, you passed out in the snow outside the city, if it weren't for my brother's kindness, you would have frozen to death!" A figure said.

Her brows furrowed suddenly, she gritted her teeth and dragged herself towards the city gate, and a few pieces of broken silver fell from her bosom to the ground with a crisp sound, and even then, she did not look down.

"Hey, I said are you sick? My brother saw that you were pitiful and gave you the money, why are you so ignorant? ”

The man was about to catch up, but the man reached out to stop him, shook his head, and said, "This woman is a madman, let her go...... Go brothers! I invite you to drink in the shop! ”

"Okay!"

The crowd walked away in cheers, and when they were completely away, the woman lowered her head and took out a white pill pot from her bosom, glanced inside, and relaxed her expression.

She looked at the sky again, gritted her teeth, and walked towards the gate without looking back, leaning against the wall.

As her figure gradually approached the city gate, several figures ran in from the gate quickly, and said in surprise as they ran:

"Champion Hou is here! Champion Hou is here from Chang'an! ”

The voices of these people immediately attracted the attention of many people on the street, and they immediately gathered on both sides of the street, turning their heads to look in the direction of the city gate, as if they wanted to see what the rumored champion Hou looked like.

"Champion Hou ......," the woman muttered to herself.

She grabbed the old woman passing by and asked suspiciously, "Auntie...... Who is this champion Hou? ”

"Oh, don't you even know the champion?" The old woman carried the vegetable basket and said with her hands dancing, "I heard that this champion Hou Nai is the reincarnation of the star, with the power of miracles, in the early years, he led the army to break the Huns, and I heard that a few days ago he made a great effort in Chang'an, killed many evil spirits, and also played a heavenly abyss......

In short, he is the most powerful man of God in the world today! ”

Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up slightly, and then quickly dimmed......

"No...... There is that thing in the world...... Who knows if he's real? The woman sighed after a moment's struggle.

Just as she turned around and was about to leave, two carriages drove into the street from outside the city gate, and these carriages were printed with the words Houfu, and the moment she saw these two carriages, the people on both sides of the street immediately cheered.

But the carriages did not seem to stop, and the cold wind whistling past the woman's tattered clothes.

She turned her head to look at the departing shadows of the two carriages, shook her head, and continued walking out of the city.

"Eh, girl!" The old woman took her hand and asked with concern, "Look at you, you haven't eaten in a few days, have you?" ”

“…… Well. ”

"Look at you, too...... If you don't come with me, I still have some food at home, so I can share some with you. ”

The woman stopped and touched her shriveled belly, as if she was a little moved.

"Forget it, auntie, I have to get out of the city quickly......"

"Just a bite to eat, it won't delay you for too long...... Judging by the way you look, you're in a hurry, right? What can you do if you don't have enough to eat? ”

"Well, well."

At the old woman's kind invitation, the woman followed her and turned back and walked into the city.

"Girl, what is the matter with you coming to Qingshan County?"

"It's okay...... I was picked up and brought to the city. ”

"Then do you have any relatives and friends in this county?"

"No ......"

The old woman nodded, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?" ”

The woman lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Garan."

……

"After driving dozens of miles, I finally arrived in Qingshan County before sunset."

Inside the carriage, Yan Zhong pulled up the curtain on the side of the carriage and breathed a long sigh of relief, "This ghost weather...... If we can't find any more horses to replace and food supplies, we will have to take another ride on Hou Ye's 'flying car'. ”

"If you fly in the sky in this weather, it is estimated that even the carriage will have to be frozen into ice slag and fall down." Chloe held a fireball in both hands, the warm firelight reflected on the carriage, she glanced at Lin Qiye on the side, and asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking about in a daze here?" ”

“…… It's nothing. Lin Qiye, who was sitting in the center, shook his head, "It's just that since I entered this city, my causal line seems to have been trembling...... I don't know what's going on. ”
