Song Huiyue squinted her eyes and tried her best to look forward, and saw the shape of the house revealed in the darkness, with the corners of the eaves flying up, and the bell bell swaying silently in the wind - the copper core inside had been taken away, and it was the same as the forgery.
Become silent.
After almost thirty miles, she finally finished walking and reached where she wanted to go.
The firelight was very weak, just a tiny bit of light flowing from the gap, but this was enough to make Song Huiyue excited and feel energetic.
There are people there when there are fires, which is enough to prove that there are still people doing business in this land, but it has become an underground land, and the people and things inside are not visible to the light.
She walked forward quickly, and the weeds on the road gradually became sparse. As she walked, the grass disappeared, and even the grass roots were stepped out. The outline of the farm became clearer and clearer in her eyes. Although it was deserted,
But it's intact.
She had to think about how to get in.
At this moment, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look around - just now, she clearly heard a sound different from the sound of wind and grass in her ears.
dangerous.
The underground business is inherently dangerous. These shady businesses and huge profits are enough for anyone to take risks. They cannot see the light or see strangers, especially those with unknown origins like Song Huiyue who have never appeared in Dingzhou.
people.
Her instinct told her to step back, but before she could run away, four figures suddenly emerged from the weeds.
The four of them were all burly men, with fierce eyes and very vigilant looks. You didn't need to think about it to know that they were the gatekeepers of the market.
The leader stared at Song Huiyue without saying a word. He just waved his hand and the other three people rushed forward with knives. Song Huiyue's still heavy body just now burst out with the final strength. Without saying a word, he
Run into the endless wilderness.
There were no sheep to graze on the grass outside Dingzhou City. It could be as tall as half a person, and it was dry and lodging. The stems and leaves were all tangled together, making it difficult for her to run. She did not look back and only burrowed into the dense grass.
, there was a "rustling" movement with every step.
The four big men were chasing after them, but Song Huiyue was so flexible that she could only dodge randomly. She didn't expect that she would still have such strength at this time.
There was a sound of breaking wind behind her. She bent down to avoid it, and the blade brushed against her scalp. She straightened up and continued running as if she was invulnerable. The person chasing her felt like he was crazy and a headless fly.
, blindly plunged into the tangled grass.
Song Huiyue was covered in sweat, but she was not running around. After twists and turns, she emerged from the haystack, rushed towards the forage, and knocked open the gate of the forage.
The four gatekeepers stopped in astonishment, and everyone who was laughing and chatting in the forum also fell silent and looked at her silently.
Song Huiyue let out a long breath - once she came in, she would have a chance to explain.
She took a step inside and took a look inside.
The market was originally open-air, with not many covered places, but now it was all tightly closed. There were stalls lined up one after another on the ground, and there was an oil lamp every two stalls. Among the merchants present, there were people from the Central Plains.
, there are also aliens.
A young and capable man in a blue crew-neck robe walked out quickly, glared at the four people outside, and then closed the door.
As soon as he moved, ten thugs armed with knives and long sticks emerged from the darkness and surrounded Song Huiyue.
"Young lady, please sit down first." The young man winked, and two thugs immediately came forward, grabbed Song Huiyue one from the left and the other from the right, and took her to the room where the documents were stored.
There was a table and three chairs in the room. Two thugs pressed Song Huiyue on one of them. The young man sat in front of the table and scanned Song Huiyue from head to toe with his eyes.
Song Huiyue gasped for air, weakly raised her hand to pat the hay on her body, wiped her sweat again, and looked down at her hands, which were covered with mud.
Then she ran out of energy and leaned against the back of the chair to catch her breath. Only her eyes were busy, studying the young man's face and expression.
"Who are you?" the man said in a bad tone.
Song Huiyue tore her mouth open, her tongue was stuck in her mouth and she couldn't move. She tried hard to say one word: "Water."
The man raised his hand to the person next to him, and someone immediately came forward and poured her a bowl of cold water.
Song Huiyue trembled so much that she picked up the bowl and brought it to her mouth. Even if there was arsenic in the bowl, she would drink it immediately.
She was so thirsty that this bowl of water was like rain, which transformed her from dying to half-dead in an instant.
Putting down the bowl, she took a long breath and answered the man: "I am a military householder with the army, and I want to do business."
"You are very courageous." The man raised his eyebrows. He has a shrewd appearance. When he raised his eyebrows, he immediately showed his calculations. "Who told you to come here to do business?"
He leaned forward and approached Song Huiyue: "In other words, who asked you to die?"
Song Huiyue couldn't even lift a finger: "There is no one, there is a sign on the roadside."
The man lowered his eyebrows and thought about it carefully. He actually remembered a sign. Then he laughed and sighed again: "You are so brave. You dare to come in even if there is no post from our Hu family."
Song Huiyue chuckled: "I don't know about the Hu family. If I knew you were so cruel, I wouldn't joke with my life. This journey has exhausted me. I just want to make money, very, very much
A lot of silver."
She said it very calmly, but in fact it was because she was exhausted. Once the heat passed, her sweat turned into cold sweat. Her clothes stuck to her body sticky, making her hands and feet cold, and even the breath she exhaled from her nose turned into cold sweat.
of.
Once the energy and energy are exhausted, a person becomes completely weak.
It was still quiet outside, as if waiting for her fate. Occasionally, a few words were heard, but they were also vague.
Because of her understatement, the man relaxed his tense body and leaned back: "Looking at your accent, are you from Kyoto?"
"Yes." Song Huiyue didn't hide anything.
"Why are you coming to a remote place like ours when you are not staying in Kyoto?" the man continued to interrogate.
Song Huiyue replied: "The family is ruined and everyone is dead."
Those tragic and vigorous past events only came out of her mouth with this light sentence, and she said it without emotion, just as an answer.
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and his voice slowed down: "What kind of business do you want to do?"
Song Huiyue regained her motivation, took off the money bag from her waist, and put it on the table: "I only have two dollars. Is there anything I can afford here? Anything is fine."
The man opened his money bag, poured out two strings of tightly tied copper plates, and once again looked at Song Huiyue with admiration: "With your little money, you should sell cooking cakes on the street."
Song Huiyue chuckled: "If your mind falls on the cake, you will never be able to change it for the rest of your life."
The man bent down and took out a large bag of dried meat from under the table, which weighed about five or six kilograms. He pushed it to Song Huiyue: "My name is Hu Jinyu, and I am a junior of the Hu family. I will accept these two coins from you."
, don’t come here again.”
"My name is Li Yue," this was the name she made up nonsense when she was admitted to the military household. "Thank you, little master, I will come again next time."
