Chapter 118 The Scavengers
Is Yuwensheng's expanded business scope so wide?Even the giant deer, a powerful country with weapons, is not afraid at all?

Because she was too surprised, and also because she suddenly heard that Yu Wensheng was only a few kilometers away from her, Zheng Quchi was dazed for a moment, and ignored the approaching breath of the people around him.

"Who are you? What are you doing hiding there?"

A delicate scold sounded behind her, Zheng Quchi turned around, but saw a girl with double braids staring at her with raised eyebrows, it seemed that she took her as a suspicious person.

"I, I am a refugee..." Zheng Quchi hurriedly explained.

At this time, she didn't lower her voice and pretend to be a man's voice. Of course, it is more convenient to use her identity as a woman at this time, and lower the opponent's psychological defense line by being weak and harmless.

The girl with double braids dressed in linen and gray dress looked at her dubiously. She lifted the pannier on her shoulders and approached Zheng Quchi.

Zheng Quchi pulled up the sleeve on his arm, exposing the bandaged wound on it: "I, I didn't hide on purpose, I was just a little scared, I was injured, and I am looking for wound medicine."

Although Zheng Quchi wrapped herself tightly, a long cloak covered her from head to toe without revealing any traces, but her clear and soft voice was not fake, she was a petite and injured woman.

The sound of the two of them talking attracted other people, and all the hunters in the vicinity surrounded them.

Zheng Quchi saw a group of these people, there were about a dozen men and women, all dressed in rags, all carrying a bamboo basket for storing things in it, and they all held sticks in their hands with sharpened ends. The middle section is jagged, and the end is a hook.

Out of the sensitivity of the craftsman profession, Zheng Quchi focused his eyes on it for a long time, after some observation, he found this stick to be quite interesting.

Its versatility looks like a stick that is easy to carry, but it can handle a variety of scenarios, such as sawing wood, poking objects, opening holes, exploring depths, pulling, hanging objects, etc.

I don't know who designed it, but it's a good idea.

When seeing Zheng Quchi in suspicious attire, he will inevitably be questioned.

Zheng Quchi stabilized his mind, and quickly compiled a set of identity sources in his mind.

She disguised herself as an ordinary refugee from another country. She had companions, but either disappeared or was killed by robbers. In short, she had to use the word "miserable" throughout the whole process to win sympathy and intolerance. Later, she encountered border guards mutiny.

It was only then that they came here through hardships and hardships. Because they were hungry and tired, they saw an abandoned camp, so they came in to rest without caring about anything else.

Unexpectedly, she would meet them after waking up. At this time, she shrank her shoulders in "surprise and uncertainty", perfectly interpreting the pitiful and helpless image.

"And you, who are you?"

After hearing her experience, everyone really sympathized, and their attitude was not as strict as before, especially the fierce girl just now. She hurried up and took Zheng Quchi's hand to show comfort and friendship.

Someone asked her: "We are scavengers, have you heard?"

"I... don't really understand." She shook her head blankly.

The little girl with double braids is straight-hearted, so she told Zheng Quchi directly: "Oh, it doesn't sound so nice, it's just like beggars, but we don't reach out to beg for money, but walk through the streets and alleys on our own. Go to various abandoned places, find something that can be eaten, used, and sold to survive, understand?"

Oh, I see, according to the understanding of modern people, they are commonly known as scavengers who pick up garbage and sell waste products.

Unexpectedly, in the Julu Kingdom, there are still social groups with such advanced consciousness. She is a little curious about how these people are organized and what are their members.

However, in today's world, everyone is living a tight life, there is little extravagance and waste, and there is nothing to throw away in ordinary towns and streets.

That's why they ventured out of the city together and came to the abandoned camp... In other words, these scavengers were not picking up ordinary garbage as she understood.

The word hunter is worth studying.

If you think about it in this way, they may not only be large in scale, but also have a certain number of informants, so that they can provide their location in time.

Seeing that Zheng Quchi was silent, a man thought she was frightened, so he said in a soft voice: "Little girl Jiajia, you are also to blame for coming to our Julu Kingdom at this time, but fortunately you didn't enter the city , otherwise, it will only be more frightening now."

"what happened?"

The timid girl, who was afraid of death, came back to her senses, and now she dared to ask questions.

"Which country do you come from? Have you ever heard of Yan Luo Yuwen Sheng, who lives in Ye Kingdom? Hey, Fenggu Sand City has fallen into his hands. The first thing he did after breaking through the city gate was to control the entire Fenggu Sand City and seal it off. The city gate does not allow anyone to enter or go out, if you were in the city at that time, I am afraid that now you will only be worried day and night, and you will not be able to live in peace."

When it comes to this person, there are really few people who can guarantee a stable mentality, all of them are afraid and shocked, with conflicts on their faces.

How can Zheng Quchi not know other people's evaluation of Yu Wensheng and the deep-seated fear. She used to think that she would share the same hatred as them, but now... MD, why does she feel that when others mention Yu Wensheng, she herself will feel a sense of displeasure? How about comfortable?
It's none of her business, she really thinks she is Yu Wensheng's wife!

She said awkwardly: "He, what is he going to do?"

"They said they were looking for someone." The little girl answered her.

Zheng Quchi felt strange: "Who is he looking for in Julu Kingdom?"

Enemies or relatives?

Seeing her ignorant Xiao Baiyan, other scavengers kindly told her about the recent major events.

"It is said that Sima of the border guards kidnapped Yu Wensheng's wife, so he frantically searched for people all over the city. I heard that someone saw him walking around the city in a blood-clothed suit. All those who tried to escape were arrested and they asked everyone where my wife was, and it was hard to find someone who seemed to know the inside story, but said that this person was lost, in the camp."

The man narrated it vividly, and after speaking dryly, he swallowed a little and continued: "Although the living Yama didn't believe it, he led the soldiers and ran over without saying a word, took this camp, and took the inside of the camp." I searched all over, but unfortunately, no one was found... His wife disappeared, and Sima fled with the rest of the soldiers."

Therefore, it was for this reason that this camp was abandoned by the giant deer soldiers who were in a hurry to flee for their lives.

"I also know about this matter. This Sima ran away, and his wife disappeared. Everyone thought that Sima took his wife away. When he returned to Fenggushacheng, he was furious and took the windgushacheng. The guard General Yang and the descendants, together with the people of that city, threatened Sima to hand over his wife within three days, otherwise he would bloody Fenggushacheng."

Zheng Quchi was shocked when he heard this.

"He, his wife?!"

How could he come to find a wife?Did he recognize her, or did he marry another woman in Julu Kingdom?

"You are also surprised, that kind of person will marry a wife like ordinary people." The girl with double braids mocked.

"That kind of person", what kind of person is it?

Zheng Quchi lowered his eyes: "Did he say, who is his wife?"

"It seems that the surname is Zheng, oh, I remembered, it's called Zheng Quchi, and Yu Wensheng spread the advertisements widely, and it can be regarded as nailing this name into our ears like a wooden stake."

Zheng Quchi took a deep breath: "He, he hates his wife so much that he has to hunt him down thousands of miles away?"

Everyone also looked at her in shock.

They couldn't believe how her brain circuits were structured, although from their point of view, Yu Wensheng was definitely a big devil who killed people without blinking an eye.

But for his wife, such a soul-stirring love story is also a touching story of a pervert seeking to find his wife. How did it become a horror story about killing his wife in her mouth?
The corners of the girl with double braids twitched: "He's making such a fuss, probably because he wants to get his wife back."

"Yeah, we'll kill after we find it." Zheng Quchi said with determination.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

The girl with double braids couldn't understand: "No, he took so much effort to find his wife, why did he kill her?"

Now it was Zheng Quchi's turn to be silent.

There are many reasons.

For example, he felt that she had lied to him.

The promised rural love story has turned into an insidious spy war.

Every time the two of them meet, they don't know each other. She disguises herself as a man to be a craftsman, and he disguises himself as a blind man. There are all kinds of deception and unhappiness between the two.

Also, he knew that she was not only a secret agent of the Mo family, but also a spy of Julu. Originally, she just casually took out a second-five subordinate, but he didn't expect that this person had another hidden identity-his newlywed wife.

It is estimated that he now regards her as shameful and unbearable. In order to completely wipe out her black history, he did not hesitate to carry out a cross-border pursuit... right?

"You said three days...if Moye doesn't hand over anyone within three days, will he really massacre the city?" Zheng Quchi didn't believe it.

But others believed it: "You are not joking, even though he is not a king, he still has a lot to say. This should not be a lie."

"Don't worry, Sima will definitely hand him over. For the sake of the people of the city and General Yang, he will not ignore it. I just don't know what will happen when Sima meets Yu Wensheng from Ye Kingdom tomorrow."

They were optimistic at the moment, because they were sure that the so-called wife was taken away by Sima Moye. As long as she was there, Yuwen Sheng would not go to the final step.

But Zheng Quchi knew that if the lady they were talking about, the "Zheng Quchi" Yu Wensheng was talking about, was really her, then the problem now...would be troublesome.

Moye probably won't be able to hand over a "Zheng Qurui" to Yu Wensheng at all.

The wound on her body began to tingle with numb pain. She didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or the injury started to worsen. She felt that she was a little short of breath, and her heart felt like a heavy stone was pressed.

"It's a little presumptuous to say that the wound on my body is festering, and I need to change the medicine urgently. I don't know if you have any herbal medicine for trauma? If so, I am willing to exchange it with gold and jade."

In this era, everything is expensive, especially the lack of medicines, which has resulted in high-priced medicines. She is embarrassed to ask for other people's medicines, so naturally she has to give money.

They saw that the little girl was polite and sensible, and she had gone through a lot of hardships, but there was no resentment or sorrow in her words, on the contrary, she was suddenly bright, which made people feel good.

"We don't have it, but Brother Ya'er has it, why don't you go back with us."

"I don't know that brother Ya'er, where is he now?"

"He seems to have relatives in the Wind Valley Sand City. Because he is worried, he has been guarding near the city gate for the past few days. He only waits for the three-day deadline to open the city gate and sneak into the city to save people."

Zheng Quchi couldn't help frowning, she didn't want to go to Fenggu Shacheng: "I don't know, how far is the nearest town medicine store?"

"That's far away. We are the most remote and barbaric place in the Julu Kingdom. It is only connected to the border of the Ye Kingdom by a sky moat, and it is also next to the barbarian grassland tribes. If you want to rush to another city, you can only rely on your feet." Let’s go, at least it will take more than half a month.”

Zheng Quchi: "..."

Half a month?She couldn't afford to wait for three days. As for taking risks or dying of septicemia from serious injuries, she... chose to live.

"Then I will trouble you to take me to Brother Ya."

"Let's go, we've already stepped on a little bit, just wait for the next trip to move things, and I'll take you there now."

moving things?
What are they moving?
In this camp, apart from some heavy ordnance defenses, there seems to be nothing valuable, right?
"Thank you."

Thank you for being so simple-hearted and willing to help a stranger.

After packing the rice she had collected, she followed them on the road.

Along the way, the little girl with double braids named "Xiao Meng" often came over to talk to her, but Zheng Quchi had something in his heart, so he just responded without saying a word, not enthusiastic, and just wanted to let the other party understand that she was in a bad mood , don't bother her.

However, Xiao Meng didn't care, she only thought of this young lady as a shy and quiet person.

"Why do you keep your head down and cover your face with a hat? Is your face hurt too?"

"No."

Zheng Quchi shook his head.

Along the way, Xiaomeng was really curious about the young lady's appearance, so after arriving at the destination, the others left, and when she went to report to Brother Ya to report the results of this trip, she suddenly tore off her hair. hat.

Zheng Quchi moved very quickly. Although he didn't have time to stop Xiao Meng's movement, he turned his face away immediately and raised his sleeve to cover his face.

Although he only had a quick glance, Xiao Meng was a little stunned.

If it was before, Zheng Quchi didn't care about showing her face, but since she knew that Yu Wensheng was looking for her, she was worried that her portrait would be circulated, so she didn't want to be seen clearly, and it was useless to criticize her.

At this time, a hand stretched out from behind and thoughtfully pulled back the brim of her hat that had slipped off, and slapped Xiaomeng's forehead along the way.

There was a crisp sound of "pa", and Xiaomeng hugged his head in pain.

"Nonsense, you do things that others don't want, just to satisfy your own curiosity, have you forgotten what respect is?" A bright and clean male voice accused with a sullen expression.
