Infinity we are monsters

Chapter 112 Brother Chapter 110 Prison Disaster
The next day, just after dawn, Zhao Linger went on the road again despite the woman's dissuasion. After walking not far, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"Linger, Linger, wait for me."

Zhao Ling'er turned her head and saw that it was the elder sister of the aunt's family, so she went up to meet her and asked curiously, "Sister, why are you here?"

"Hey, my mother thinks it's too dangerous for a six-year-old girl like you to go to a place as far away as Nanzhao Kingdom alone, so she asked me to go with you."

She spoke in a serious manner with a serious expression, but the corners of her eyes always looked behind her from time to time.

Zhao Ling'er didn't doubt that there was him, she was very happy after hearing it, and almost clapped her hands, but she thought about it, but felt embarrassed, and said, "Would this be too much trouble for you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, aren't we just going to Nanzhao Kingdom? I know you very well. Let's go quickly."

Zhao Linger nodded vigorously and smiled happily.

At this time, the sun was three in the sky, and the bright sunshine was shining on the two girls, one big and one one, on the road, leaving behind a string of chatter and laughter.

"Ling'er, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Ling'er, how about you, sister?"

"Haha, my name is better than yours. My name is Li Cuihua. From now on, you can call me Sister Hua."

"Okay, Miss Hua."

"Oh, so good. By the way, Linger, where is your home in Nanzhao Kingdom?"

"Well, Ling'er doesn't know either. I only know that my mother is the witch queen and my father is the witch king. We live in a very big palace."

"Hey, it looks like your family is very powerful, you must be very rich."

"Money? Sister Hua, do you mean gold?"

"Yes, yes, does your family have a lot of gold?"

"Well, there are none in my mother's house, but there are many in my father's house."

"Hey, get rich."

"Sister Hua, what did you say?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing, Linger, let's go quickly and find your parents earlier."

"Ah."

. . .

More than ten days later.

Li Cuihua and Zhao Linger came to a small frontier county in the east of Nanzhao Kingdom with unkempt hair and dirty faces.

Entering the county town, Li Cuihua looked at all kinds of food on the side of the road, and her stomach growled uncontrollably, but they were penniless, and they mostly relied on digging wild vegetables to find wild fruits along the way to make ends meet. Sometimes they met kind people, Give a little money to eat a steamed bun.

Zhao Ling'er who was following her was also very hungry at this time. He took her hand and said, "Sister Hua, Ling'er is so hungry."

"Oh, Ling'er, your sister Hua is also hungry, but we have no money."

Zhao Ling'er heard the words, her small face drooped, and she said weakly: "Then what should I do, Ling'er is too hungry to walk."

Li Cuihua felt that going on like this was not an option, so she frowned and thought hard, suddenly her eyes lit up, and said: "Linger, I have a solution."

"Oh, Miss Hua, what can you do?"

"This is already the Nanzhao Kingdom. Let's ask someone. There should be news about your parents. Your family is so rich. We can ask someone to borrow some and return it to him when your family is in double. There must be someone to help."

"Okay, okay, Sister Hua is really smart."

Li Cuihua smiled proudly, "That's right!"

"Sister Hua, who should we ask?"

"Well, look at mine."

After Li Cuihua finished speaking, she dragged Ling'er to a stall selling dolls, looking at the dolls with a nonchalant look on her face as if she wanted to buy something.

Seeing Li Cuihua's appearance, the stall owner was not very interested, and said, "Madam, do you want to buy a doll for your daughter?"

Li Cuihua was taken aback when she heard the words, then nodded and asked, "How much is your doll?"

"A penny."

"So expensive!?"

"Ha ha."

The stall owner sneered twice and said, "You don't have to buy it if you think it's too expensive."

"What do you mean, do you think we have no money? Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is the Witch King!"

"The Witch King!?" The stall owner was startled when he heard the words, jumped up from his seat, and shouted, "Is your brother-in-law the Witch King? The emperor of our Nanzhao Kingdom?"

"Ah! The Emperor!?"

Li Cuihua was also dumbfounded when she heard this.

Seeing this, the stall owner suddenly reacted, and shouted: "Okay! You dare to pretend to be a relative of the emperor, and see if I don't drag you to an official!" As he said this, he was about to come out from behind the stall and arrest them.

Li Cuihua's heart skipped a beat, she pulled Ling'er and turned around and ran. After running five or six streets, she sat by the wall panting, looking at Zhao Ling'er with a strange expression on her face.

"Sister Hua, you...why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ling'er, you are actually a princess!? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"I didn't lie to you, my parents are the Witch King and Witch Queen."

"Hey, since it's true, it's easy to handle!"

"Sister Hua, what else do you have in mind?"

"You are a princess. Even the magistrate of the county will kneel down when he sees you. We will go to the county government here later, have a good meal first, and rest for a few days. Grandfather sent us to find your parents!"

"is this okay?"

"Of course! Listen to me for sure."

. . .

Half an hour later, they arrived at the county government office.

After hearing what they said, the county magistrate nodded and told the left and right: "Come here, arrest these two people under the hall."

Li Cuihua became anxious when she heard this, and shouted: "Oh, magistrate, why did you arrest us? We didn't lie to you, Linger is really your princess."

The county magistrate was a middle-aged man. Hearing this, he sneered and said: "The king has already issued an order to the whole country, announcing that the former queen is a evil spirit that brought disaster to the country and the people, and has been executed. Since you keep saying that you are a princess, then you are the remnants of the queen." Is it wrong for me to arrest you?"

"What! You say my mother is dead? No! No! You're lying."

Zhao Ling'er looked terrified, pointing at the magistrate with trembling little hands, and shouted loudly.

The county magistrate laughed and shook his head when he heard the words, and said to the yamen servants standing on both sides: "You still haven't arrested people!?"

"Yes! Sir."

Then four yamen servants walked out and detained the two of them separately.

Li Cuihua wanted to cry, she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Master County, you made a mistake, you made a mistake! We were just joking! This girl is my younger sister. We just arrived in your place and we are penniless, so we came here. This is the last resort. Look at her disheveled hair, she doesn’t look like a princess.”

The county magistrate sneered and said: "Fool, do you think you can fool me with just a few words? Judging by your accent, you are not from the local area at all. If I guess correctly, you should be from the Central Plains, and this Girl, but she is the orthodox official voice of Nanzhao, how could she be your sister!" Then he sneered, and said: "Put this woman under the [-]th board, and then deport her from the country."

"How dare you fool me, I'm courting death."

"Yes!"

The next moment, the two yamen guards who were escorting Li Cuihua ignored her begging for mercy and directly dragged her out.

"Don't! Don't! You scoundrels, don't beat Sister Hua!"

"Humph!"

The county magistrate waved his hand and said: "Put her in prison too, and keep her under good watch. When the Japanese officials find someone to verify her body, they will send her to Nanzhao City."

"Yes! Sir."

After the two yamen servants agreed, they dragged Zhao Ling'er, who kept crying and crying, to the dungeon.
