Chapter 67 The Encounter on the Weed Hillside

She was too hungry and thought that she could find a place to buy food with her money so that she would not get hungry.

But along the way, there were traces of war sweeping everywhere, where was there a place to buy, sell and eat?

While Xie Yuan kept riding his horse according to the map in his memory, he secretly blamed himself for being too stupid.

Moreover, in order not to show off, I didn’t even bring a bow and arrow, and even had no chance to shoot a bird or a rabbit to fill my hunger.

The desolate scenes in front of her flew back one after another. She couldn't figure out how long she had run, but this nightmare-like road never ends. In the afterglow of the setting sun, there was an illusory and unreal beauty.

Just when she was tired and hungry, she suddenly smelled the aroma of smoked food.

But there was no smoke in the cooking stove, no trace of people, and no house was found.

She couldn't help but hold the reins and searched for the source of the smell.

Suddenly, she looked at a small hillside next to her. The grass on the hillside was dense, blocking her view, but she could faintly hear someone talking from behind the weeds, and couldn't hear clearly, but her tone was filled with a pleasant and relaxed smell.

The fragrance of food also seemed to float from the opposite side of the hillside.

Because of this fragrance and the sound of talking easily, Xie Yuan subconsciously felt that as long as he climbed over this hillside, he would see a normal village and a town.

The smoke curling up there must be different from the desolation of this road. They have food and enough people to share it, and they will be happy to sell some to her.

So Xie Yuan got off the horse, pulled the reins tightly, and pulled the horse to climb up the hillside.

The thin and thin weeds were so tall that when Xie Yuan led the horse in, he even passed over her head.

While she struggled to open the dense grass and looked for the way under her feet, she carefully pulled the horse, for fear that the horse would sprain her hooves. The horse was an important partner to help her escape from danger. If it became limp, it would have to measure the road in the future with its legs. I don’t know how many difficult things it would encounter in the future.

So he climbed up slowly.

The hillside is not steep, but it is very long. As I walked, the sudden enlightenment in front of me was suddenly revealed. The dense tall grass disappeared, and replaced by a newly dug pit was very strange.

She led the horse carefully around the pit. When she turned to the other side, she saw a wooden board thrown on the ground and half hidden in the soil. The board was written with charcoal: Ge Erzhuang's Tomb.

The tomb is still written incorrectly and is written as "卡".

Xie Yuan has always been brave. Even if he sees the dead grave, he will not think much. He just thinks that the newly dug-out grave has a tombstone but no corpse, and it is a bit strange to just hang it on.

She guessed in her heart that perhaps it was because of the war or something else that was too hasty that Ge Erzhuang's family had no time to bury him, so she continued to walk up.

Because of this empty grave, the tall grass in front of her had already been stepped out of a road, and it was much easier for her to walk.

"Shh... Listen, it seems that there is movement." The voice of the person on the opposite side of the hillside became clearer and clearer, and it could be clearly reached Xie Yuan's ears.

I heard another person stammeringly ask:

"No...it won't be haunted..."

"What kind of ghosts are you making? Everyone is here, afraid of a ball?" said another person.

Xie Yuan didn't say anything. She was eager to see the scene she had expected, so she accelerated her pace and rushed forward, preparing to say hello with a smile on her face.

But when she finally stood on the top of the hillside, she was shocked by the scene in front of her and her smile froze on her face.

Where are there any villages and towns? There is no difference between here and the scenery on the road next to it.

Only two soldiers in tattered Southern Dynasties surrounded a bonfire and looked at her with a secluded look.

What was roasted on the bonfire was obviously a person's arm.

There was also a headless corpse next to it lying crookedly on the ground. The body was stripped of military uniforms and threw them aside in a mess. The color of the clothes was the same as what they were wearing. It was obvious that they were companions of the same barracks.

And the two arms on the corpse are gone...

The dim sunset light shone on the two soldiers, and they couldn't see clearly their appearance. The ragged military uniforms were like evil ghosts crawling out of hell.

Xie Yuan, who had always been brave, finally realized what it felt like to be afraid - her face was pale, and cold sweat suddenly appeared, soaking her back, her empty stomach was air conditioning, and a violent feeling of nausea rolled in her chest.

She couldn't help but take a step back and staggered. If she hadn't had the horse's reins in her hand, she might have rolled down the hillside.

The two men saw that Xie Yuan was a half-aged child, holding a horse, his clothes were neat and his workmanship and fabric were expensive, and he looked like he was not from ordinary people at first glance.

So he subconsciously stood up first, blocked the "food" on the bonfire, and looked at her vigilantly.

A brief stalemate that was suffocating and tense, the wilderness was quiet and there was no more voice.

"Brother...what should I do?" asked a slightly thin soldier.

The soldier called the eldest brother was tall and thin. He looked at Xie Yuan with a slightly cautious look, pinched the big knife in his hand a little, and asked:

"Child...whether of your adult?"

Xie Yuan's heartbeat was like a drum, and he was sweating profusely. His severe nausea was churning in his stomach, his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't speak.

The tall brother slowly walked forward two steps, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he said confidently:

"He's only one! San'er, let's work together to capture him and bring the food for the current meal...that horse is not bad either."

He discussed with his other thin companion slowly in front of Xie Yuan.

When Xie Yuan heard this, he finally plucked up the courage to turn over the horse. Just as he was about to jump on the horse's head and turn around to escape, he saw the thin soldier running back and picking up a bow from the ground.

Xie Yuan's mind buzzed: If he turned around and ran away, the grass on the hillside would be full of rugged roads, and the sky would be empty and without any obstacles.

When they stand at their feet and shoot arrows down, they will almost die!

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled out the sword on his waist, clamped his legs and kicked the horse's belly, shouted "Hold!" and rushed towards the two soldiers!

The tall soldier widened his eyes, as if he didn't expect Xie Yuanhui to rush down from above on a horse. After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately ran out with his sword in his arms.

Xie Yuan's main goal was not for him! But the archer, so he kept whistling past him and swung his sword straight to the man holding the bow and arrow.

"Shoot quickly!!!" The tall soldier saw that the thin man was still aiming the arrow, and hesitated to run away or shoot out, so he couldn't help but shout and urge him anxiously.

But it was too late, and Xie Yuan leaned low on the horse's back, with a powerful aura, raised the sword in his hand and rushed to the front of him in an instant.

The thin soldier could no longer hold on. He screamed in horror and turned around and ran away. He was cut through his back by Xie Yuan's sword and fell to the ground, without any more noise.

Today's second chapter is posted later, I don't know if it can be posted... I'll do my best.
