Chapter 1216 She is afraid that he will be beaten to death
With Yun Ning by Ning Changping's side, things will be smoother overall.
As Mu Yunxiu's bodyguard, there is no doubt about Yun Ning's ability, because he often performs some tasks and is well-versed in human relations.
In addition, he and Ning Changping both have super high martial arts skills, so as long as they don't encounter anything too outrageous, they can basically go sideways.
It's just that their luck was a little bit worse, and something relatively outrageous happened to them.
On their way to the first city, they encountered a battle.
The most unlucky people in the war were the common people. After they crossed the Wei River, they saw the common people dragging their families and families to flee in the direction of Guiqian.
Most of those people were refugees. They lacked food and drink, and all of them were sallow and thin.
Ning Changping saw how pitiful they were, so he gave the child a steamed bun.
After Yun Ning saw it, it was too late to stop him.
The hungry people came directly to grab the contents of Ning Changping's bag.
Although Ning Changping is very good at fighting, she really can't do it when asked to fight ordinary people with yellow faces and skinny muscles.
The final result was that all the food she brought with her was robbed by the people.
The people lost their minds because they were too hungry, and some wanted to kill her, cook her and eat her.
Although Ning Changping had endured a lot of hardships, those hardships were due to various conspiracies and calculations, and he had basically never suffered any sins in matters of eating and drinking.
She has seen all kinds of evil people, but this is the first time she has seen such evil people.
She was really confused when those few people, who looked sallow and thin, but slashed at Ning Changping with greedy and disgusting eyes.
Yun Ning didn't say a word, but with a single stroke of the sword in his hand, he killed all those men.
There were some people nearby who were about to make a move. When they saw Yun Ning with murderous intent on his face, they looked at the sword dripping with blood in his hand and backed away.
Yun Ning sneered: "If you want to die, just come here!"
When he said this, those people dispersed in a hurry.
After they left, Ning Changping asked with confusion: "Why did they kill me after I gave them food?"
Yun Ning replied: "Because they have nothing to eat. They see your thin skin and tender flesh and want to kill you, cook you and eat you."
Ning Changping frowned: "They eat people?"
"You are the princess of Dayan, and you have never seen real suffering in the world." Yun Ning said quietly: "In times of famine and war, people often exchange children for food."
Ning Changping had seen this sentence in a book before, but she never believed it.
Because she feels that no matter how vicious human nature is, it is impossible to eat people.
But the scene that just happened really reminded her that these hungry people had no humanity at all!
Yun Ning saw her dumbfounded look and said, "Aren't you usually so fierce? Why don't you know how to fight back today?"
Ning Changping said softly: "I won't hit people who don't know martial arts. They won't know martial arts at first sight."
"I still can't understand why I gave them food and they not only took it from me, but also killed me!"
Yun Ning said quietly: "Although this kind of thing is not common, I have seen it before."
Ning Changping looked at him, and Yun Ning let out a long sigh and said, "I encountered a famine when I was young. Most of the people in the village starved to death."
"After my father found out that there was no food at home, he gave me to a family at the end of the village as food rations."
"If I hadn't met Master at that time, I would have been eaten by them."
This was the first time Ning Changping heard Yun Ning talk about him, and he looked at him in surprise.
Yun Ning said quietly: "Master only exchanged me for ten steamed buns. Since then, I have never been home again."
Ning Changping then realized that Yun Ning was also an orphan.
She felt that she might have been too cruel to him before. Although he was not likeable, he was not bad either.
She said: "As long as you don't provoke me in the future, I won't hit you."
Yun Ning was a bit dumbfounded and said: "Then I'll thank you in advance."
Ning Changping didn't feel the sincerity of gratitude in his words, so he curled his lips slightly and ignored him.
Although she was a little sad because of what happened to those people, she quickly recovered.
She has experienced this personally, and she has to accept it even if she doesn't accept it.
And she also discovered one thing, that is, she had nothing to eat.
The war in Zhao State made it difficult for them to buy food even if they had money.
The point is, because she is strong, she eats more than the average person!
She saw Yun Ning eating steamed buns, then squatted next to him, looked at him eagerly and said, "Can you sell me two steamed buns?"
Yun Ning saw her look a little funny and asked her: "Steamed buns are very valuable now and you can't even buy them with money. What do you want to exchange for them?"
Ning Changping said nothing, took out a silver coin from his bag and handed it to him, then waved his fist at him.
Yun Ning saw what she wanted to express.
She was saying that if he didn't sell the buns to her after she paid, she would rob him.
Yun Ning, who was also dumbfounded, threw the money back to her and handed two more steamed buns over: "After we finish these, we won't have anything to eat."
"There is a mountain ahead. Let's go hunting tomorrow, otherwise we may starve to death on the road."
Ning Changping put the money into Yun Ning's hand again: "I don't take advantage of others."
"I bought this bun from you, so you must accept the money."
Yun Ning was a little bit dumbfounded by her forced buying and selling, so he said: "Okay."
After this incident, Ning Changping had a different understanding of things in this world.
She knew that if Yun Ning hadn't followed him this time, she might have encountered a lot of trouble.
She is in such trouble now, so did Su Letian, who returned to the First City from here a few months ago, also encounter the same trouble?
When Ning Changping thought of this possibility, he felt a little worried.
She knew that Su Letian was smarter than her, more tactful than her, and knew better than her in handling all kinds of complicated relationships.
But Su Letian's martial arts skills are not as good as hers!
And he also brought a whole convoy with him, which made him more likely to get into trouble.
When Ning Changping thought about this, he became even more worried about Su Letian, but now she herself was in danger and faced the risk of starving to death.
She has always been a person with emotions and anger written all over her face. At this time, her round eyes were full of tears because of worry.
It was the first time that Yun Ning saw her like this, and she quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Ning Changping sniffed and said, "I miss Su Letian. I wonder how he is doing now."
Yun Ning: "..."
He was inexplicably jealous that Su Letian could make Ning Changping so concerned.
He comforted her very much against his will: "Su Letian is so powerful, nothing will happen to him."
Ning Changping said softly: "But he is not good at martial arts and there are no powerful masters around him. I am really worried that he will be beaten to death."
