A fox and a fox swam over sneakily.

The circles of ripples on the river were broken up, reflecting the rows of torches on the dark deck, like floating light and broken gold.

The officers and soldiers patrolling the edge of the deck dragged their feet sparsely, and the deck they stepped on made a thumping sound.

I saw them sleepy-eyed, half-stepped, and the torches in their hands looked like they were about to fall.

The general was scolding: "Aren't you in the right mood? We're almost at Yongcheng, and we're still sleeping, one by one."

The general grabbed another handful of reeds and slapped the faces of the officers and soldiers one by one.

The strange thing is that the officers and soldiers seemed to be tickled, and they were still fearless.Being reprimanded just wiped his face and continued to desecrate his duties.

This kind of laziness and slack is almost impossible in the strict laws and regulations of Daqin.

Daqin's strictness is almost cruel. Even if he forges a fake arrowhead, the master blacksmith is at risk of being beheaded.

But under the control here, another rule gradually emerged.

The officers and soldiers had long swords pinned to their waists, and continued to sway with floating steps.

So much so that when Baitao dragged the chubby Zheng Guo ashore with his teeth, they all seemed to be blind, and they continued to swim with black shadows.

"I thought you just had a lot of hair, but I didn't expect you to be really fat."

Baitao groped into the official boat and stared at the group of officers and soldiers for a while. Seeing that the guards were nothing more than that, she couldn't help complaining to Zheng Guo who was panting, "My teeth haven't broken yet, so why are you panting first?"

Zheng Guo said weakly, "I can't help it. I'm only suitable for walking in water, not for walking. What's more, I have to climb up, and my paws are slipping."

Baitao spat out her hair, and looked at the officers and soldiers walking past, "Can they really not see?"

"It's so late, most people are going to sleep, and we are the only ones who are energetic." Zheng Guo flicked his big tail, "I seem to hear it's noisy inside."

"It's a bit noisy. There should be a lot of people fighting over wine."

The fox's ears were sharper, and Baitao tiptoed ahead, "Follow me."

Zheng Guo: "Okay!"

He jumped onto the wooden box, then jumped onto the basket, Zheng Guo followed, and bumped into Baitao unexpectedly.

He hurriedly covered his nose, wanting to express his innocence.

Bai Tao turned her head and glared at him, Zheng Guo curled up his tail, feeling aggrieved.

"........."

There is no way, at least it is my little brother.

Baitao sighed, stretched out her claws, and pulled Zheng Guohe close to herself, leaning on the cover of the basket to look inside.

The inside is really as Baitao said, it's as lively as a fire cooking oil.

There are many officers and soldiers who are stepping on the table drunkenly to order drinks and drinks, "It must be the end, the two friends are good, the third is rich, the fourth leader!"

"Four"

"Come, come, you lose, drink, drink!" When the wine bowls collided, the faces of the generals blushed from drinking, "Hi, the king of heaven and I can't control it here, you are happy and alive!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The generals slapped tables and kicked stools and laughed loudly.

One person said, "Hey, although it's good to have a good life these days, no one cares about it, but if we don't handle the things of Chang Xinhou, we will lose our heads. It is said that in the past two years, Chang Xinhou wants The virgin boys and girls have to be born on a cloudy moon and a cloudy day, so you have to find ten in a month."

"Well, if you want to talk about other things, it's fine, I want something cloudy and cloudy."

"How much did you give in these two years?"

"Whether it's abducting or buying and selling, it's almost empty now. If you go farther, you can get to Rong Di's territory. This time, you can barely find ten. I don't know if we can make business smoothly next time."

"What are you panicking about?"

Another person bared his yellow teeth and belched soaringly, "There is wine, meat, and generous rewards. Even if I die now, I will be happy, hahaha!"

"Hahahahaha! That's right, come on, come on, do it!"

Baitao flicked her tail furtively after hearing this, "They were also ordered by Lai Ai to look for boys and girls, to catch ten boys and girls a month, and they have been there for two years? How many children are there?"

"I think those virgin boys and girls are so pitiful."

Zheng Guo wrinkled his nose, "I'm afraid it's more ominous than good."

Although they are not of the same kind, Baitao also has some sympathy and sentimentality for those children.

She pursed her lips and said: "Don't jump to conclusions so early, maybe it's not certain, seeing is believing, hearing is believing, what you don't see is possible. It's just a guess."

"For those children, pray."

Zheng Guo closed his paws together, seeing that Baitao was indifferent, he pulled her paws again, and closed his eyes, "We pray that they will have a good pregnancy in their next life and stop being human again."

Baitao: "."

Baitao: "?"

The officers and soldiers in front came over, Baitao dragged Zheng Guo, who was praying under the moon, into the basket, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you treat yourself like a person, don't treat them like a person, don't they treat you like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep on the table?"

Zheng Guo's eyes were full of water: "Hey, I don't eat meat. I thought, as long as everyone doesn't eat meat, change to vegetarian, and be kind, that would be great. Maybe the Seven Kingdoms won't fight anymore."

Looking at the merciful Zheng Guo, Baitao slapped his forehead with his paw: "The Seven Kingdoms didn't fight because of eating meat. Let's go and see the ten newly kidnapped children first. I seem to have heard their words." There's a sound of breathing, right below this deck."

Zheng Guo was distracted: "Okay!"

Footsteps leave.

Zheng Guo twisted his tail and pushed the blocked basket back to its original position. He tossed it in an arc and followed the fox jumping on the deck. She pushed away a piece of armor with her claws and rushed in.

Zheng Guoli looked left and right for a while on his hind limbs, and jumped in with determination.

The white peach fell to the ground as light as a feather.

"." Silently.

Zheng Guo fell to the ground and stretched out his limbs in flat geese.

"Boom—boom—" beat the gongs and drums.

Baitao: "???"

The sound was particularly ear-piercing in the pitch-dark basement. Several children who were already light sleepers were awakened, crying in fright, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and Daddy""

"I want to go home. Woo hoo hoo."

"...I'm afraid woo woo woo, where are you, ma'am?"

Baitao planned to cover her mouth when the first child was crying, but unexpectedly all the children were woken up.

She patted Zheng Guo's forehead directly with her paw, and the meaning was self-evident: You did a good job!
Zheng Guo curled his tail silently aggrieved.

The dim oil lamp was lit, and the glowing orange light made the dirty and damp basement look a little ghostly.

There was a lot of filth on the ground, and several children aged eight or nine were huddled together, with chains tied to their ankles.

Their cheeks were sunken, their skin was covered with bones, and their eyes appeared to be surprisingly large, but now their faces were full of tears, and fear and hesitation filled the place.

"Who came in?"

There was a tall boy at the head, his figure was illuminated by the oil lamp held in his hand like a ghost, his face was blue and yellow from hunger, but there was a different kind of calmness.

The two raccoons, Baitao and Zheng Guo, had already scurried behind the pillar.

Hearing this, Baitao pulled the pillar to look at the boy who was talking, but she was caught off guard by a small hand behind her.

A dirty girl grabbed her ears and laughed out her baby teeth, "Brother, brother, fox, fox."

Baitao's hair frowned, she hurriedly broke her ear out of her hand, patted Zheng Guo with her paw, and ran away in a hurry.

"Where did the fox come from?"

With the sound of footsteps accompanied by iron chains Ding Ling Dang Lang approached, the boy holding the oil lamp leaned over and looked around.

Seeing the girl who was sucking the salt from her fingers and blinking, he sighed, "You are too hungry."

"Fox. Fox."

The girl patted her deflated belly and giggled, "Little fox..."

The boy took out a dry biscuit the size of a palm from the bag on his waist, "The government here is devoid of conscience, even the food is deducted, you can eat it."

The smell from the food attracted the children.

The eyes of the children tortured by hunger glowed green, and their survival instinct inspired their plundering ferocity.

They stood up involuntarily, and at the same moment the boy handed the pancake to the girl, they rushed over like crazy.

He firmly suppressed the helpless girl, snatched the dry biscuit she was guarding tightly, and swallowed it voraciously.

"Gollum—"

After swallowing, they frantically licked their fingers, and some people kneeled and licked the cake crumbs that fell on the ground.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow."

The girl was robbed of pancakes, she was so frightened that she shook like chaff, and cried at the top of her throat.

The boy who had finished giving the biscuits crossed his arms and looked away, as if he didn't care who the biscuits went into, as he gave them out of pity.

Here he is tall, as if he is the boss here.

After the children had finished looting, some of them still reluctantly looked at the cloth bag on his waist, and went over to hold their knees and press their stomachs in resentment. Perhaps it was in this way that they could relieve their hunger from being tortured and tortured.

There are also a few weak girls here, they don't dare to bark at all, they just bite their clothes and cry like quails, like Yi Yao's kitten.

"Squeak-"

The upper deck was opened again, and two officers and soldiers came down holding oil lamps, "Noisy, crying, crying, you are about to enter Yongcheng, what are you doing here?"

"Your parents exchange you for a few baskets of rice, a few gold cakes, what you love and what I want, so don't yell at your father and mother, don't even think about it, wait until you enter Yongcheng, eat and drink enough, alas , Yongcheng is your Huangquan Road."

After landing, the two officers and soldiers slapped the tip of their noses with their hands.

Among them was a tall man who waved an oil lamp around in front of the group of children, wanting to see if he was dead or not.

When he saw Baitao and Zheng Guo who had turned into children, he had a weird expression on his face, and turned around again, "No, why does it seem like there are more?"

Another short man said, "Why are there so many? Could it be that they were born out of thin air for you on the boat? I'm afraid you've been floating on the water for a long time, and you can't see well."

The tall man said: "No, no, you count, one, two, three."

The child who had seen it all over here, looked at him and counted with his black fingers, "One two three, one two three, one."

He went on to say, "Originally, I could count on my fingers, but you see there are two more toes."

The tall one is still moving his feet, and the short one is said to be flabbergasted by him, "You don't care, if there is more, there will be more, if there is no less, it's good, maybe you counted wrong at the beginning, okay, stop counting, look Go up when you're done."

He walked up in a hurry, and the tall man followed him up.

A sentence came from the deck, "Impossible. I've been counting for two years. Could it be that the surface of the water is yin, and it must have recruited two more ghosts."

"Bang!" The deck was pressed tightly.

There was a moment of silence underneath, save for the sound of rushing water.

The boy in the lead pressed his eyelids, took out dry food from his waist, took a bite, chewed it thirty times, and then swallowed: "Eleven, twelve."

The two raccoons who got mixed up with the children blinked and continued to pretend to be ignorant.

Zheng Guo poked the white peach with his finger, and said in a suppressed tone, "What should we do next?"

Baitao said softly: "Follow first, enter Yongcheng."
