Beauty has a disease

Chapter 42

Someone hurried out and came back in a hurry, the wooden basin hit the ground with a muffled sound, and the water splashed on the ground to form a pool of water stains, which rolled up the dust on the ground along the force and flowed forward. Fingers approach.

A few people murmured around the embers, but in the end, instead of wiping it with a towel, they poured a basin directly on her face, which was so cold that her face was poured, and the water in her nasal cavity made her almost choke.

After rinsing off the things on her face, she pressed her fingers on her face again, and after confirming that the scar could not be removed, she cursed and threw the basin away.

The door was locked with chains wrapped around it, and the sound of footsteps faded away, Ember opened her eyes and sat up.

She sat up with her hands on the ground, but pressed the mud with both hands, and her messy and wet hair was also stained with mud and soup, dripping onto her back.

A wave of gloom stuck in her heart, Ember's complexion was heavy, and it took a lot of effort to get the gloom back, but her face was still not so good-looking, she stood up and walked lightly, turning around in the empty room .

This is a typical country house, the whole room is made of earth, the walls are thick, only a window is opened on both sides of the door, but the paper pasting the window has turned a gray color, and the indoor light It's getting darker.

With wet and muddy hands, Ember gently poked through the window paper and looked outside.

Like the main building of the house, the courtyard wall is very low and made of earth. The top of the wall is covered with grass. There are many discarded farm tools piled up in the corner of the courtyard. The narrow courtyard door is not closed very tightly. From the embers of the gap, you can see that the small courtyard is also locked by chains.

There is no one guarding it alone.

Presumably they were not afraid of her running away, perhaps these people were sure that she would not be able to run away.

Ember huddled in a corner and picked up a small wooden stick, stroked the ground, and wrote two words: Stronghold.

Zhan Shuyun followed with a few people all the way to a village on the outskirts of Beijing.

The village is not big, and its location is somewhat remote. Men, women, old and children occasionally walk through it, and it doesn't look like there is anything special.

Zhan Shuyun made a gesture, and the group of people dispersed and left, while Zhan Shuyun found a free time and slipped into the village.

The village is not big, in terms of the number of houses, there are only about [-] households. It didn't take long for Zhan Shuyun to inquire about these households.

Seven or eight households were locked, as if no one lived in them, and the remaining 20 households were mixed with men and women, which looked like a family, and there were several households with several men together, which could be interpreted as brothers. It makes sense, except that this brother is a bit too much.

Everywhere looks ordinary, but everywhere is unusual.

Zhan Shuyun followed as soon as he reached the entrance of the village and didn't go any further. He was afraid of arousing the vigilance of these people, so he didn't know where Ember was locked up, and he didn't dare to rush in. He quietly retreated out.

Not long after, a neatly dressed man came along the path to the village. He was wearing a rough kudzu shirt, carrying a rough bow and a few arrows, a wild rabbit in his hand, and a pheasant hanging upside down on his waist. , it seemed that the head hanging on the limp neck was a bit heavy, and it flickered along with Zhan Shuyun's steps.

The man wiped his sweat with his hands, and then put his eyes to block the light and looked from a distance. Seeing the obvious joy in the eyes of the village, he hurried up and arrived at the entrance of the village soon.

"Master, can I ask for some water?"

The man, that is, Zhan Shuyun rushed forward in front of the joking old men under the big tree, kept wiping the sweat from his head and neck, panting heavily, and his lips became more and more dry.

Obviously tired and thirsty.

The elders were vigilant, they looked at each other, and then all their eyes fell on Zhan Shuyun who was begging for water. After a while, one of them asked, "Who is this strong man?"

Zhan Shuyun replied: "Masters, don't be afraid of me. I am a hunter on the mountain. I came here to hunt, but I chased a deer and ran away. In the end, I missed the deer and lost my way. I walked for a long time. I finally saw a village here, so I came here to beg for some water, I was really thirsty."

Hearing Zhan Shuyun's remarks, he looked the man up and down and said how he was dressed, look at me and you, gentlemen, he has relaxed a little, but he has not completely relaxed his vigilance.

"Oh, but the strong man doesn't look like a thin skin and tender meat, but he's not bad at all. He doesn't look like a hunter."

"I'm ashamed to say it." The man sighed, "I used to be not an Orion, but a scholar. It was only later that my family became lonely, my mother passed away and my father was seriously ill in bed. I had to give up studying in order to make a living. That's how I became an Orion. "

The old men said a few more times, but there was not much sympathy on their faces, "So he is still a scholar, no wonder he sounds different from us big bastards when he speaks."

Someone waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go, ask for water and go elsewhere."

"Yes, the origin of the strong man is unknown, we old guys dare not take you into the village, the strong man should go elsewhere!"

Zhan Shuyun was in a hurry, "Don't, don't, I'm really thirsty, otherwise, I won't go into the village, why don't you bring me a bowl of water?"

"This—" The uncle hesitated.

Seeing this, Zhan Shuyun gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly: "Don't let the uncle run away for nothing, how about I exchange this pheasant!"

But there was a look of reluctance in his eyes, obviously not very willing, but it also proved that he was really thirsty.

The elders looked at each other again, and finally one of them coughed and said: "Since the strong man is so sincere, then the little old man will go and scoop up a bowl of water for the strong man, but this prey..."

"Can I replace it with this rabbit?"

Zhan Shuyun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to make this request, he didn't agree immediately, but was caught in a tangle, and after a while, he let out a foul breath and replied, "Okay!"

"The hare is yours!"

He stretched his hands forward and turned his head away from looking, but his peripheral vision couldn't help falling on the wild rabbit.

The old man smiled and took it, but didn't.

"Strong man?"

Zhan Shuyun let go.

"That's right, the little old man is going to fetch water now, the strong man is waiting."

After the words fell, he walked into the village with three steps and three steps, seemingly in no hurry.

One person left, and the rest had no intention of leaving. They each looked at Zhan Shuyun and talked to him intentionally or unintentionally.

"The strong man doesn't look very old, how old is he?"

"The age is 23."

"He's pretty handsome. There must be no shortage of girls to like him. Let's marry a wife early."

"I'm married, I'm ashamed to say, but my wife eloped with me."

Yo, I still eloped.

"What about the strong man?"

Zhan Shuyun licked his dry lips, and he seemed ashamed and ashamed to tell a few strangers about the whole process of himself and his "lady" from acquaintance, love and love to elopement, and the uncles listened with gusto.
