Chapter 2433 An unexpected gain (two chapters in one)
The sun moves slowly across the sky.
The golden sunlight shines on the ground, making some stones gradually become hot.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead moved forward and reached his destination smoothly.
The terrain in front of us is very open, and most of it is grassland as far as the eye can see.
The task he took on this time was to collect a special herb, which is purple in color and is called purple root grass.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead began to look for herbs. He searched carefully on the grass.
Soon I found a plant with purple flowers. The flowers were very beautiful.
Taking out a small shovel from his backpack, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead squatted down and started digging.
After a while, the entire plant was dug up by the roots.
"A total of fifty trees will be dug."
"I have to hurry up next."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, put the dug herbs into a bag and continued searching.
The area in front of us is quite vast, and there are many purple root grasses growing there.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead searched this place and collected more than half of the mission items in a short time.
The sun in the sky is very dazzling, and the sunlight falling on the body makes people feel more and more hot.
The task of collecting herbs went smoothly at first, but some problems arose near noon.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, searched a large area and found no more purple root grass.
"Strange, why is there not a single purple root grass in this area?"
Within a few minutes, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was cleared of doubts.
He found animal footprints in some places, and the purple root grass must have been dug out and eaten by them.
Although he encountered some troubles, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was not discouraged. He continued to carefully search for the mission items.
It was noon and my stomach made a small growl.
After working for a long time, when it was time for lunch, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead immediately found a cool place to rest.
The stream flows slowly and a gust of wind blows.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead sat on the big rock and took out the pastries he bought earlier from his backpack.
Then he ate the pastries and drank water.
Lunch was finished quickly. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not start taking action immediately after eating and drinking. Instead, he sat and rested.
I spent a lot of energy just now, and now I have to recover before taking action, otherwise I won't be able to deal with danger well.
More than an hour later.
On the broad grassland, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead continued to look for purple root grass.
As the sun begins to set, the sky gradually changes color.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead after working for a long time, finally collected all the mission items. At this time, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, with a smile on his face.
Pack your things.
I looked at the sky in the distance.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, knew that he had to go back quickly, otherwise he would not be able to reach Zecheng after dark.
Pick up your backpack and run away quickly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead climbed over the rocks, got into the lush grass, and soon disappeared.
…………
"twitter……"
Many birds were flying in the sky, making crisp and sweet bird calls.
The convoy raced on the dirt road at high speed, hoping to enter the city before the sun went down.
There was a long queue at the city gate, and soldiers strictly examined everyone who entered the city.
The efficiency of entering the city was very slow all day today. Many people complained in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead appeared in a forest. When he walked out of the woods, he saw the majestic city in the distance.
"I finally came back before the sun went down."
There was the sound of horse hooves not far away, and a dozen people were riding fast horses.
There was a strange beast chasing closely behind them. Judging from the situation, they must have been chasing them all the way.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned. He thought for a while, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it away.
The crazy beast was hit by a stone and immediately stopped, giving up its pursuit of a dozen people on horseback.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead glared at the alien beast, ignored him and continued walking quickly towards the city.
"roar……"
When had the alien beast ever been humiliated like this? After roaring, it quickly chased after the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
The man on horseback looked back and did not stop to help, but continued to rush to a safe place in the distance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not blame those who did not help, because their strength was very low, and if they stayed to help, it would be a hindrance.
Alien beasts come in front of you and attack.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead calmly avoided the attack of the alien beast, and then punched the alien beast a few times, causing the alien beast to be in great pain.
The strange beast found that its prey was difficult to deal with, and had the intention of retreating.
After all, the pig-headed city is not far away from it. If the soldiers in the city run out to help, it will die.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, saw the alien beast start to retreat, and thought that this alien beast had some intelligence.
Not long after, the strange beast retreated to a certain distance, then turned its head and quickly burrowed into the grass in the distance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead continued to walk forward. When he climbed over a high slope, he saw a dozen people looking at him in the distance.
These people were the ones who rode horses before. They saw that the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was safe and sound, and they breathed a sigh of relief. One of the leaders came to them and took out a money bag.
"It's just a little effort, no need to thank you."
"It's a piece of cake for you, but it's a life-saving grace for us."
The other party insisted again and again, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not shirk anymore and accepted the money bag.
After the dozen or so people on horseback left, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened the money bag and found that the other party had a lot of thoughts.
This time he came to help, and the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, received a reward equivalent to one mission.
He happily put the money bag into his backpack and continued walking to the city gate.
It took some time to get into town because there were quite a few people queuing up.
When the sun disappeared from the horizon, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead entered the city.
As usual, he hailed a carriage on the roadside.
After handing in the mission, the pig-headed captain, who received a reward and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, returned to the inn.
"Huh?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found many people at the door of the inn and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
At this time, the waiter who used to serve him food came over and asked him if he wanted to eat.
"Prepare a table of food for me." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said, and then he asked why there were so many guests staying in the hotel suddenly.
The waiter smiled and said, "There were floods in many places before, and many inns were flooded. These guests checked out their rooms and stayed in other places."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, heard the reason and nodded, then said.
"I'm going back to the room first. You can bring the food as soon as possible."
"Okay." The waiter responded with a smile, then turned and left.
…………
After a busy day, many pedestrians on the street began to go home.
The soldiers searched for the rebels but found nothing. Many people speculated that the rebels who caused trouble had fled Zecheng.
After the sun went down, a group of soldiers received orders and returned to the military camp to rest one after another.
The tall investigator walked out of a shop and happened to see a group of soldiers passing by.
He looked at the soldiers arresting the rebels and found that many of them had ugly expressions.
After thinking for a moment, the tall investigator withdrew his gaze and returned to the inn.
After a while.
In a room of the inn, two investigators met and they talked about the intelligence they had collected during their respective trips.
"Do you think the rebels who caused trouble last night are still in the city?" the short investigator asked.
"No rebels have been caught so far. Based on the intelligence collected during this period, I think some of those rebels should still be in the city." the tall investigator replied.
"I think so too. Those rebels may try something else tonight." The short investigator analyzed.
"I hope you won't come to our area to cause trouble." The tall investigator frowned.
The two chatted for a while, then they put aside the matter about the rebels, left the inn together, and went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
I have been eating the food in the inn for a long time, so I need a change of taste.
As soon as we arrived at the restaurant and sat down, the two of us finished ordering and waited for the food to be brought out.
Suddenly there was a loud noise at the door, attracting the attention of many guests.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a motorcade was seen passing quickly by the entrance of the restaurant.
This convoy is not a convoy organized by ordinary merchants, because this convoy is protected by many soldiers.
Each truck was loaded with things and covered with gray cloth.
When the convoy left, many people were speculating about what was in the car.
The two investigators are also quite curious, but they currently have no means to obtain more detailed information, so they can only give up.
…………
"belch."
The pig-headed captain, who had eaten enough and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, burped, and then he called the waiter to clear the table.
After everything is done, go to the window, open it and look outside.
The streets are brightly lit, and you can see all the vendors who set up stalls at night.
There were a lot of people shopping, but there was an area where no one passed by.
There was fighting there last night and several buildings were in ruins.
Except for some very curious people who would go and take a look, other ordinary people avoided it for fear of being implicated.
When the waiter was serving food, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked what happened to the affected residents.
The waiter said that the government would provide some compensation, and he could only settle the difference by himself.
The residents who suffered the unthinkable disaster are very sad, but there is currently no other way but to find a construction team to rebuild the damaged houses later.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the place where the battle took place last night, thinking that if something like this happened again, it would be best not to stay around the inn.
The inn was not affected last night, it was just good luck.
If the same thing happens again, Baobuqi Inn will suffer.
Time flies by, and a few hours pass quickly.
Because there are still rebels hiding in the city, there is a curfew at a certain time at night.
The small vendors and shops along the street that had received the curfew order in advance began to close. Pedestrians on the street noticed that there were gradually more soldiers, and began to return home for fear of getting into trouble.
It didn't take long for the busy streets to become deserted.
When the last shop closed its door, the whole street became quiet.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw the changes on the street, withdrew his gaze, closed the window, and then went back to bed and lay down to rest.
The weather is very good tonight, there is not a single cloud in the sky, and the moonlight from the moon falls well on the ground.
Some places without light are completely dark, and there are things hiding in the dark that are difficult to find.
There was a small forest beside a small river in the city, and a figure walked out of the woods.
This figure was over 1.9 meters tall, and his face was covered with a black cloth, so his appearance could not be clearly seen.
He had a dagger hanging on his waist. He looked up at the sky and stared at the bright moon. He muttered something incomprehensible to himself.
The brightly lit residential houses were darkened, and it was past twelve o'clock at night. Except for the soldiers on patrol, no ordinary people could be seen on the streets.
"I'm going to the toilet." A soldier said to his companions, then left the team and walked to the far corner.
"Are you okay yet?" The other soldiers shouted after waiting for a while and seeing that no one came back.
There was no response from the soldiers who went to the toilet, which made the waiting soldiers impatient.
The captain was very angry and shouted a few more times, but there was still no response at all.
So, the captain led the people to the far corner.
When they arrived, the expressions on their faces instantly became serious and their pupils shrank sharply.
The soldier who went to the toilet fell to the ground. There was a wound on his neck. Blood flowed from the wound, forming a small pool of blood on the ground.
"No, there are rebels ambushing us." The captain reacted very quickly. He immediately understood that we were being attacked by rebels, and immediately alerted his companions.
