Death seat

Chapter 34 Camp
When Xu Ziye was heading south along the main road, a caravan was also putting down the things on the carriage and preparing to set up camp near the forest gathering point thirty miles away.

For mortals, thirty miles may be a journey that can be traveled in one afternoon, but for a caravan, they will never rush the last thirty miles to enter the city at noon.

Because when they arrived in the town, it was already dark. Even if they entered the city, they would not be able to sell the goods they brought, but would be exploited by the town guards. At the same time, the guards of the caravan would relax their vigilance because they entered the city. In the end it was counted.

Many things happened on the night when the caravan entered the town, so generally speaking, large caravans used to find a place not far from the town to stay overnight before entering the town.

On the one hand, they can enter the city early the next morning and sell all their things. On the other hand, they are stationed not far from the town. If something happens, they can send out a distress signal and support them until rescue arrives.

Most towns are also aware of this habit, and there will be such gathering points thirty miles away in several directions outside the town.

The same is true for the caravan in front of me, except that they are not caravans within the country, but a large caravan targeting the capital of the country. They just pass by a small town not far away, and they have no future The focus of business is here.

It was the same this time, they had no intention of entering the nearby town at all, they just stationed here for one night, and sent a carriage there to make a deal the next day.

The rest of the team will set off immediately, heading for the capital of this country.

It was already afternoon, and the merchants who were camping also moved quickly. On one of the carriages, a business girl in ordinary clothes was tidying up and moving the small tent she brought from the carriage.

Although the tent had been packed tightly, it was still too bulky for the merchant girl, and it was quite hard for the girl to move the tent by herself.

And judging from her clumsy movements of setting up the tent beside the carriage, she is not used to doing this kind of 'rough' work.

But it was strange to say that no matter how clumsy the girl's movements were, no matter how tired she looked, no one came to help her, and even some servants of the caravan didn't give her a second look.

The girl seemed to know that the caravan rejected her, so no matter what the situation was, she gritted her teeth and worked hard.

After spending a lot of effort, the girl finally set up her tent, but at this time the sky had already darkened, the campfires in the camp had already been lit, and the merchants and guards were all handling their own food separately.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with the girl. The place where those people lit the bonfire was far away from the girl's tent. There were even a few carriages blocking the road, and only a little light could shine on the girl's tent.

The girl was already used to such things, she carefully touched a piece of flint from the carriage, and found some thin firewood, and prepared to set up a small bonfire in front of her carriage.

At this moment, a voice came from under the shade of the tree, "Can I have a warm fire, please?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, the girl found a young man walking out of the woods. He was wearing a white robe that didn't fit well, and there were some worn clothes under the robe. It could be seen that the style was from a nearby card. It was worn by the minor nobles of the Budo Kingdom.

The boy's face was pale, his lips didn't look very bloody, his eyes were a little yellow, and with dark circles under his eyes, he looked like many people who hadn't slept.

However, the boy's left hand has been holding a book made up of several white sheets, and he looks like a literate person.

Behind the boy, followed a woman in black armor. She was carrying a long sword and a square shield. Her long silver hair was exposed from under the helmet. From the position she was standing, it could be seen that she was the boy's guard.

This kind of combination doesn't look like a businessman or an aristocrat, which made the girl feel a little curious, but she still didn't ask any more questions, just whispered, "I'm not the owner of the caravan, if you want to come in and bake For warming up or something, you can go to the ebony wooden carriage in the middle of the camp and ask."

"Then there's no need." The young man shook his head, "The caravan will not accept outsiders at will, especially when camping in the wild. It's already dark now, and today is not the time for the night market. Even if you know there are good things here, it's normal." No one would come over. If I just ran over like this, nine times out of ten I would be arrested by spies who thought they were thieves.

Even if they let me go tomorrow morning, they will give me a hard lesson. I don't want to do such boring things. "

Hearing what the boy said, the girl was stunned for a moment, and finally she shook her head and said, "I can't let you warm up here, if you get too close to me, it won't end well."

After finishing speaking, the girl lowered her head again, and started arranging her pitifully little firewood again.

After a while, the girl didn't hear any sound. She thought that the boy had listened to her words and left just like that. For some reason, the girl who was used to this kind of thing felt sour for no reason. on the back of the girl's hand.

The girl gently wiped away her tears, raised her head and was about to look at the sky, but found the boy standing in front of her with a half-smile.

Maybe it was frightened by the boy's silence, or maybe it was because the boy saw his thoughts, the girl jumped up all of a sudden, and was about to scream.

At this time, the boy suddenly said, "Did they say that you have been possessed by a demon? They said that the things in your house are full of blood. If you don't hand them over, everyone who comes into contact with you will die?"

The girl took a few steps back in fright, stared at the boy in front of her and asked, "Who are you? Are you here to ask for that thing too? I can tell you that even if you kill me, you will have to kill me." to that thing."

The young man shook his head, sighed softly, "It seems that you really have a story, but I have always been a little curious, why did this caravan take you along? And when the horses kept dying, they kept arranging The horses pull the cart for you?"

The girl froze for a moment, and was about to say something when footsteps came from not far from the camp.

The boy frowned, took a step back, and retreated into the woods with the woman beside him. When he was leaving, the girl noticed several caravan guards walking towards them.

One of them yelled at the girl, "Devil Shari, who was here just now?"
