Hero: “...”
Several people approached them.
The first one opened his mouth with a strange accent: “Who are you two?”
Ling Fengxiao looked around, and her voice seemed as though she was about to cry: “Heroes, where is this?”
“Border.”
“Border!” Ling Fengxiao excitedly said to Lin Shu: “Sister, we have escaped!”
Lin Shu: “...”
Big Miss’s acting skills are really rare in the world.
And he also couldn’t hold back the Big Miss.
He looked around in bewilderment, and repeated: “We... escaped?”
Behind the few brawny men with knives, someone whispered a bunch of words.
The one in the front said: “Our elder brother asked you, just now there was a thunder explosion in the south, was there an accident? Where are you from?”
Ling Fengxiao did not answer, but more excited: “Elder Brother... Are you Holy People?”
Holy People, this word Lin Shu heard in Confucian Institute’s classes.
When the Northern and Southern Xia had not yet separated, there was a large-scale invasion of people of the Jie nationality, and the Southern Xia royal family had no choice but to move south.
Therefore, the Jie people from the northern border make up a considerable portion of Northern Xia. The Southern Xia people naturally call the Jie people barbarians, but the Jie people believe that they are the Holy People favored by the great witches.
These strong men have strange accents, probably because Jie dialect is different from the Xia dynasty’s official dialect.
The strong man in charge said, “You two are as well?”
Ling Fengxiao jabbered a string of words.
Lin Shu can’t help but wonder if there’s anything else in the world that Big Miss can’t do.
After that, Ling Fengxiao seemed a little embarrassed, and said in the dynasty’s official dialect: “My sister and I were taken into captivity here when I was ten years old. I only remember a few words of what we spoke at home.”
The man’s attitude warmed significantly. He retracted the knife into the deerskin sheath and asked, “What’s wrong over there?”
Ling Fengxiao wiped away tears that did not exist, and cried, “My sister and I are from Hachi City, and my dad is in the fur business. We followed him to Daye City on the border, and ran between Changyang City and Daye City. ..... During the war, Daye City was broken through and father died. Our sister was caught by them and entered the Red Tent...”
The man said: “Those Southern Xia scum!”
Ling Fengxiao breathed a sigh of tears: “During the days in the Red Tent, we are really lower than livestock. Some sisters couldn’t stand it today and used some method to blow up the Red Tent, so I took my sister to steal a horse and finally escaped. I just ask Brothers to see our poor sisters and take us back to Hachi City...”
At this time, superb acting skills are required, but Lin Shu does not have this skill. Fortunately, the Big Miss knew that he didn’t, she kept holding him tightly in her arms.
Lin Shu also cooperatively buried his whole face in the Big Miss’s chest, looking remarkably like a pitiful younger sister who is too frightened to look up and see others.
The man slowed down his voice: “Sisters, don’t be afraid. We are also from Hachi city. You are our fellow townsmen.”
Ling Fengxiao asked: “Really?”
“It’s true, of course.” After the man’s voice slowed down, he was very gentle: “Our brothers also come here to sell furs. After this time, they will go home and bring the goods. You two will follow us and send you home at that time.”
Ling Fengxiao cried with joy: “Elder Brother...”
“Let your sister not be afraid, either.” The man said, “We’re going to make a tent for you.”
“Sister, did you hear that?” Ling Fengxiao said softly, “We can go home!”
With that, she smoothed Lin Shu’s back a few times.
Lin Shu raised his head, learning from the timid tone of those women in the carriage today: “Really?”
“Really.” Ling Fengxiao hugged him tightly and said: “Let’s get up first.”
The man stretched out his hand: “Don’t panic, sister, I will help you up.”
With the arm of this man, Ling Fengxiao pulled Lin Shu up from the sand, stood up, and her body shook a few times before standing still: “Thank you, Elder Brother.”
“We’re family, don’t mention it.” The man said, “Sister, where do you live?”
“We lived in Wuhe, southwest corner of Hachi.” Ling Feng whispered, “I remember where grandpa’s house is, and I can definitely find it.”
“Good, good, good.” The man even uttered three “good” words and said: “Our brothers are in the southeast of Hachi. When we get to Hachi, we will send you back.”
Ling Fengxiao thanked them again, and then said, “At that time, we’ll let grandfather send some bundles of fur to the brothers.”
“That’s not necessary.” The man laughed very simply and honestly, “It’s cold outside. Let’s go to the tent first.”
Ling Fengxiao said, “Okay.”
The brothers really vacated a tent for them. There were a lot of sundries beside the tent, a piece of skin peeled from an unknown animal and a quilt on the ground.
“Nothing good.” The man said, “Can you sleep, Sister?”
Ling Fengxiao said: “Can sleep, thank you Brother.”
“Go to sleep. You sisters have come looking for the right place. They can’t pursue you here.”
Ling Fengxiao repeatedly confirmed: “Really?”
The guy said “Hey, they don’t care about it here.”
Ling Fengxiao’s eyes were full of gratitude, and said: “I will trouble my brothers then.”
The man said: “No trouble, you’re family, go to sleep.”
Ling Fengxiao said: “Okay.”
After saying this, the man lifted the curtain, went out, and covered the wind curtain again.
The tent was low and simple, with a musty smell in the fur, which is very uncomfortable. However, these guys are really kind and honest, enough to offset the uncomfortable bed.
The only problem is that they don’t want to meet kind and honest people, but they want to meet people who will get ideas after seeing their beauty and want to sell them.
He also doesn’t know what remote city is Hachi City, and if they want to go to the Sorcerers’ Gathering, they have to go to the capital.
Ling Fengxiao laid down, also let Lin Shu lay down and covered him with the quilt: “Sister, go to sleep, you will be fine from now on.”
——Big Miss is still acting.
Lin Shu cooperated: “Okay, sister.”
The rustling voices and voices of people outside rang for a while, and after a while, they stopped.
Everything was completely silent. Looking out from the small window of the tent, the moon was like snow.
He saw Ling Fengxiao smash a piece of amulet and drop a soundproof barrier around them.
Ling Fengxiao finally recovered her original tone: “We’ve successfully infiltrated inside.”
Lin Shu said, “But they are going to Hachi City.”
In the moonlight, he saw Ling Fengxiao looking at the top of the tent, her eyes empty, and he didn’t know what she was thinking.
After a while, she said, “They are not going to Hachi City.”
Lin Shu: “...Huh?”
Big Miss turned sideways, her arms crossed his shoulders, half-wrapping him, and said lightly: “There is no Hachi City, I made it up.”
Lin Shu: “...Ah?”
Ling Fengxiao looked at the moonlight outside the window for a while before saying: “You...are so clean. Naturally you don’t know, people are so dirty.”
Hachi City was made up by Ling Fengxiao?
But the guy said that he was also from Hachi City—is it all fake?
Those few people are not from Hachi City, but they just went with Ling Fengxiao’s words?
But why would they say that?
Lin Su suddenly realized something, and his heart was cold.
He spoke, his voice a little astringent: “They...still want to sell us?”
“Yes.” Ling Fengxiao said, “How can a black market businessman survive if he is not shrewd? There are other people in this area. If they use force, they will make trouble. It is better to go along with our words and let us live here in peace. ”
Lin Shu didn’t know what to say.
He listened to Ling Fengxiao as she continued to say: “Their acting is very good. If it was some other girl, she would’ve been fooled, but we are also fooling them.”
“I thought...” Lin Shu said, “They really wanted to save us.”
Ling Fengxiao touched his hair and said warmly, “I will never let you out by yourself in the future. Otherwise, you will be abducted by gangsters casually.”
Lin Shu: “...”
Big Miss is right.
With his little weight, and now he has no martial arts, if he is alone, he might be abducted.
However, just now, he still felt that those guys were kind and honest, and had a good impression.
Now that he was slapped in the face, he still felt a little sad.
The next moment, Ling Fengxiao stuffed a pill into his mouth.
The pill’s fresh fragrance dispersed between the lips and teeth. It is a commonly used antidote pill.
Ling Fengxiao said: “Look.”
A part of the tent curtain had been lifted to create a gap.
White smoke diffused from the gap, and after a few breaths, it spread throughout the tent.
——Even if Lin Shu has no experience of wandering around the rivers and lakes, he can guess at this time that it’s probably something like sleeping gas.
He took back his eyes and looked around. The Big Miss had closed her eyes and left a quiet and beautiful sleeping face.
So he also closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
After about two incense sticks, the door curtain was lifted and the sound of jumbled footsteps sounded.
“Have they fainted already?”
“They passed out a long time ago.”
“Let’s make a fortune this time.”
——Then there was tacit laughter and whistles.
“These little bitches are so damn good-looking.”
“Are the barracks full of these goods? Let’s go to Southern Xia as a soldier too.”
There was another round of laughter.
Lin Shu felt someone approaching him.
“Bah,” said a very close voice, “Looks like a celestial being, but how can her chest look like a flat plate.”
“This one too.” Another voice sounded next to him.
“They didn’t eat well.” The man on Lin Shu’s side said, “Didn’t she say that they entered the red tent at the age of ten? It’s already a miracle they were able to grow up.”
A few people laughed again.
Lin Shu thought, this is not very scientific.
I’m not a girl, so my chest is naturally flat, but Big Miss is really flat. I was just outside the tent, and when I was hugged by the Big Miss, I clearly felt it.
Was Big Miss treated harshly by Phoenix Villa when she was a child? ——It’s too impossible. Big Miss has such a noble status, how can she be malnourished?
Could it be that the chest would affect the speed she draws her blade? So she used some method to make it flat?
When people are nervous, they often think wildly. Lin Shu feels that his thoughts have run out of control all the way.
Just thinking about it, he heard the sound of clothing materials, as if someone was going to touch him.
Lin Shu:” ! ”
Don’t touch me!
Or else we’ll be exposed!
His heart was beating wildly, and he felt an extremely sharp aura in the air around him.
He has no doubt that Big Miss has been so angered by this person that she will open her eyes and kill with a blade in the next moment.
And, it’s not going to be a simple killing, she would slice off one piece at a time.
Fortunately, the next moment, a voice came from the door: “Dogs, what are you doing?”
“Hehe — having fun.”
“Why didn’t you have fun earlier? It’s too late! The night market will open now. Get the people there quickly. It’s a big profit this time! Play with women after we return!” The voice yelled.
The man trying to touch Lin Shu reluctantly said: “But I won’t find anyone who looks like this again.”
“Hurry up!”
“Alright.”
Lin Shu stiffened and got goosebumps until the man took his hand back.
Then, the two of them were dragged out of the tent, not knowing what kind of transportation they were placed on, and they jolted forward.
Listening to them, it seemed that they were going to a “night market”.
Night market is where you sell things.
The black market’s night market can sell things and naturally can also sell people.
——I can finally be sold.
