The days when I wanted to be a human being

Zhou Ling looked at the man under the tree and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face to ease the embarrassment, but suddenly remembered that some of the refugee makeup on his face seemed to have been wiped off, so he forced himself to stop the action.

After all, she had disguised her face before, and if it was wiped off now, all her previous work would be in vain.

I thought, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.

Zhou Ling smiled awkwardly and continued to stare into the man's eyes.

"Did you find anything unusual? If not..." The young man paused in the middle of his sentence, then reached for the knife behind him and continued, "Then you are useless!"

Zhou Ling knew that the situation was going to develop in the direction she least wanted.

It seemed that her body was a little uncomfortable with the sudden increase in points, and she wanted to delay a little longer so that she could run away later.

That's right! When faced with a large number of people on the other side, she was not a fool and would fight them head-on.

"Wait!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Ling shouted hurriedly and looked at the soldiers on guard around him.

"I told you what I found out, please don't kill me."

The young man lowered his hand from the knife handle again and said, "Then let's see what you can say."

Jiang Yi, who was standing behind the young man, suddenly twitched when he saw this. He knew that his general was almost thirty years old, but he was mature beyond his years and seldom joked. Occasionally, he would get playful and often fool people around.

The general's name is Jiang Qifeng. He has been a general for several years and has been guarding the border. He was only recalled to the capital a month ago.

This trip south was to investigate a plague that occurred in the south half a year ago. Although the plague has subsided, this time it seems a bit unusual.

Zhou Ling felt that staying on the tree all the time was not a good idea, so he found an excuse to get down from the tree so that he could observe the surrounding environment and escape later.

She said to Jiang Qifeng unceremoniously: "Please step back, I want to go down."

Jiang Qifeng nodded and stepped back, indicating that she could come down.

Zhou Ling showed weakness to the enemy and slowly climbed down. When he reached the ground, he clapped his hands, leaned against a tree, looked at Jiang Qifeng and said, "I found a lot of bodies with heads and bodies separated in the mass grave over there."

"Why are you going there?" Jiang Qifeng took off the knife from his back after hearing her words. The soldiers on guard around him seemed to have triggered some mechanism and changed their positions at an extremely fast speed to protect Jiang Qifeng.

Jiang Yi, who had originally put away his knife, quickly drew it out. For a moment, both sides were facing a formidable enemy and the situation suddenly became tense.

Zhou Ling looked at the situation and moved slowly, knowing that she would have to run away if things got bad. However, all her movements were seen.

"Um... don't be so nervous. I'll just go over there to see if there's anything useful. After all, I'm a... poor person." She originally wanted to say that she was a beggar, but then she thought it wasn't a good idea.

Jiang Qifeng gripped the knife handle tightly, looked at Zhou Ling nervously and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Jiang Qifeng was holding a knife, and he was about to chop Zhou Ling if they had a disagreement. This made Zhou Ling realize that the situation was taking a turn for the worse and was very disadvantageous to her. She had to appease the other party before she could find a chance to escape.

"Don't be so nervous. I just took a look from the outside. I didn't even go in to touch the corpse. Could it be..." Zhou Ling came to her senses and thought that the crisis she had imagined might have really happened in this unknown feudal dynasty.

Zhou Ling held out his hands to show that he was not injured, and pretended not to know what was going on, saying, "Is there any treasure over there? I didn't take it, don't wrongly accuse me!"

Zhou Ling jumped twice and shook his clothes twice, then said nervously, "Listen, I don't have a single penny on me, so don't kill someone and take advantage of him."

"It's killing innocent people to claim credit." Jiang Yi couldn't help but remind them that they didn't come here for any treasures.

Jiang Qifeng also realized that he was too nervous. The madness in the south was contagious very quickly. The child opposite who was pretending to be a little beggar should be a young master who ran away from some stupid landlord's house.

"I'm sorry, I'm too sensitive. Please don't mind. This little bit of money is my apology."

Jiang Qifeng said as he handed his knife to Jiang Yi who was standing beside him. Jiang Yi took it tacitly and took out some silver from his pocket.

He walked closer to her and stretched out his hand in front of Zhou Ling and opened it.

He has nothing in his hands!

Empty!

That fair hand didn't look like the hand of a soldier at all. She could even clearly see the lines on the palm.

Let’s not talk about why she cares about whether that hand looks good or not.

The key point is that the hand grabbed towards Zhou Ling!

Gonna get caught!

Oops!

Thoughts in Zhou Ling's mind floated up and down, countless thoughts appeared and disappeared, and finally only this one thought was left for her to grasp.

No! I can't just give up like this!

In a flash, Zhou Ling rushed to the side. Although his collar was not grabbed, his hand was grabbed by the young man because his body was not used to it and he was a step slower.

Jiang Qifeng's hand was like a lock, tightly locking Zhou Ling's left hand. At this moment, he had only one thought, that the hand in his hand was a little small and a little tender. He shook his head to let this strange thought disappear from his mind, and looked carefully at the person in front of him.

Because her left hand was caught, Zhou Ling's body froze when she lunged to the right, so she subconsciously used her left foot as a fulcrum to twist her waist and kicked Jiang Qifeng's hand with her right foot.

Although Jiang Qifeng was surprised at the man's quick reaction, he was not slow either. He exerted force with his hands and pulled Zhou Ling over.

Zhou Ling's balance was destroyed in an instant, and she staggered forward. She took out the "hidden weapon" that she had prepared in her arms and stabbed it at Jiang Feng's hand that was holding her.

Jiang Yi, who was not far away, saw it and shouted hurriedly: "Be careful!"

He pounced on the two men, but he was still holding Jiang Qifeng's heavy sword, so he was a step slower.

At this time, the two men exchanged a few more moves.

Jiang Qifeng also caught a glimpse of the hidden weapon that was stabbing at him. That's right, because Zhou Ling's speed was a bit fast, Jiang Qifeng couldn't see the true appearance of the hidden weapon clearly, and he actually thought it was some hidden weapon.

Jiang Qifeng used the same method again, pulling Zhou Ling and destroying her body balance.

This time Jiang Qifeng did not move, but just turned sideways and pulled Zhou Ling aside.

Although Zhou Ling was on guard this time, due to the large difference in their body shapes, the two of them ended up with Jiang Qifeng standing behind Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling's "hidden weapon" could only change direction and stab Jiang Qifeng behind him.

The hidden weapon suddenly changed direction, and Jiang Qifeng finally saw the true face of the hidden weapon.

That's a branch.

Jiang Qifeng grabbed Zhou Ling's other hand that was holding the hidden weapon.

At this time, Zhou Ling was facing a dire situation with both of her hands caught. Zhou Ling knew that the situation was hopeless, but in fact, she had performed the series of actions just now directly based on her body's instincts, and she herself was not aware of it.

Zhou Ling had his back to Jiang Qifeng, with both of his hands being held high.

This body is only eleven years old and is more than a head shorter than Jiang Qifeng.

In a flash, Zhou Ling jumped up and did a reverse spin kick with his left foot in the air towards the person behind him.

But unfortunately, the battle-hardened Jiang Qifeng easily saw through her plan and easily blocked Zhou Ling's kick with his foot.

The force of the sound made Jiang Qifeng laugh and ask, "Are you tickling me?"

At this time Zhou Ling had no choice. Her hands were crossed and she was held in front of the man. She tried to break free, but the man didn't move at all. She looked up at Jiang Qifeng, who was more than a head taller than her.

Jiang Yi rushed over at this time and came to the two people who were relatively silent. He said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry... Master Jiang, I'm late."

Jiang Qifeng, who had been depressed by the plague for days, suddenly felt much better and said with a smile: "No, you came at the right time."

"Tie her up for me!"
