The reborn sycophant

Where have you seen it?

The scorching hot wind is blowing, the dead branches and scorched leaves are making a trembling sound, and on the endless official road, the fresh water vapor in the water bag floats into the nose, like nectar from the sky.This is a temptation that hungry and thirsty people can hardly resist, but Zhao Ji just stood quietly in front of the two men holding the water bag, but instead of pouring the water into his mouth, he lowered his head and frowned, wondering what What.

Looking anxiously, the man urged: "Are you still drinking? We are still in a hurry!"

He was in a hurry, Zhao Ji squeezed the water bag in his hand, and was almost rushed to drink the water by his impatience, but... still had doubts in his heart.

Where have you seen it?

A dilapidated plaque flashed in my mind, the villagers lined up under the plaque waiting to sell their sons and daughters, and the steward inspecting the "goods" at the front of the queue...

Oh, that's right, as you saw in Jintian Village that day, isn't the dealer's expression of picking villagers similar to the two people in front of you?

Feeling vigilant like never before, Zhao Ji took two steps back with the water bag in his hand, and a trace of sharpness flashed across his clear eyes.

"Hey kid, if you don't want to drink water, where do you want to take my water bag?"

As she retreated, the man and the woman immediately followed a few steps forward. The man stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab the water bag in her hand, but his eyes kept glancing at her.

Zhao Ji squeezed the water bag tightly, knowing that there might be something wrong with the water, but she refused to give up easily, what if... all right?Wei Chuyan is waiting for water to save his life!

"Take a sip first."

Passing the water bag over, Zhao Ji stared at the man, clenched his fists tightly, in a posture of accumulating strength.

The man didn't expect that a person who was so thirsty would easily let go of the water bag he had already got. After catching the water bag, he was stunned for a moment. When Zhao Ji spoke, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he turned to look fellow woman.

The woman tacitly continued: "Hey, are you suspicious of the head of my family? You child, you really don't know good or bad. We kindly gave you water to drink, but you didn't appreciate it if we wanted to save your life. Let's go, the head of the house, we I don’t want to talk too much about her. It’s just a waste of time, it’s so hot today, we save some saliva, it’s better than kindly feeding the donkey’s liver and lungs!”

While talking, she winked at the man, and pulled him past Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji turned her head vigilantly, not turning her back to him.

Although they were walking, the two walked very slowly, with their backs to Zhao Ji, and they made eye contact several times.

"What should I do, the kid won't be fooled!"

"Go slowly, I don't believe she can let go of the water to her mouth!"

After walking for a while, the man lost his composure. They had dealt with [-] or [-] victims. With just one glance, he was sure that this was someone who could sell for a high price. willing!He hesitated whether to turn around and catch him directly, but the child had a knife on him!It made him undecided.Suffering in his heart, the pace of the two of them became slower and slower. At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind: "Wait a minute."

The man was overjoyed, turned his head sullenly, and saw that the child had already caught up and stood still three steps away from them.

"I said, now you regret asking for water again? It's too late, we are not happy to give you a drink."

Fearing that her man's promise too soon would arouse suspicion, the woman began to put on airs.

Zhao Ji shook his head: "I haven't regretted it."

"Then you?" Both men and women showed surprise.

Zhao Ji stared at them, and slowly pulled out the knife at his waist: "I said, you have a drink first."

A child drew a knife and pointed at the two adults, threatening them. This seemed absurd to others, but it actually happened in the withered and yellow wilderness in the west of Jingzhou.

Frightened by her sudden outburst of cruelty, both men and women took a step back, but after a while, after calming down a little, they only thought it was funny.

This child, her hand holding the knife is still shaking, what is she trying to threaten them with?Besides, he is just a child, even if he has a knife, can the two of them really have to be afraid?

"You let us drink it? We drink it? This is our water. We drink it when we want to, and we don't drink it when we don't want to. Child, don't be too overbearing!"

Looking at their expressions, Zhao Ji became more certain of her thoughts. She tightly held the knife in her hand and took a step forward: "Originally, the water belongs to you. I really have no position to ask for anything. But now I suspect that you want to use water to harm me. Take a sip to prove your innocence, if you can't prove... I haven't killed anyone yet, but I no longer insist on not killing anyone."

After saying this, Zhao Ji's hand holding the knife trembled even more. She stopped looking at the water bag on the man's waist, but focused on the woman.

The woman also had a water bag on her body, and she guessed that since they were going to travel in such a place, the two of them would not even carry a little water for themselves.

The bag of water they offered out was definitely not, then... only that bag of water.

Even if the bag of water was undrinkable, she couldn't let these two go, they must know where there was water.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......"

"Ha! How funny!"

There was a moment of silence in the wilderness, and then, disgusting laughter rang out. While laughing, men and women approached Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji had already said this, and it was difficult for them to pretend to be good. If you can't pretend, your true colors will be revealed.

"Drink that water obediently, won't you save some energy for your grandfather? Now I have to work hard to catch you, and I will inevitably hurt you. If such a good pair of skin is broken somewhere, it won't be worth the price. , do you think Grandpa doesn't feel bad for me?"

Staring at the knife in Zhao Ji's hand, he didn't think that this child would have the courage to swing a knife. Even if he could swing a knife... Could it be that they have no skills at all, and could they be easily chopped down by her?

There was a tacit understanding, men and women approached from both sides, Zhao Ji looked left and right, his little face was serious, at this moment, the man rushed over, Zhao Ji instinctively swung his knife to chop, very quickly The speed made the man unable to dodge at all, and a deep line was cut from his left shoulder to his lower abdomen in an instant.

The blood spurted out and splashed on Zhao Ji's face and body. It was a little hot, which reminded her of the man that the concubine mother killed in front of her a long time ago... This is not the time to be distracted, she Wiping his face roughly, he turned his head and stared at the woman standing aside.

The woman stared blankly at the man falling down, unable to react to the man's death, and maintained a forward posture, but her momentum had already weakened, and she realized what had happened just now, and realized that this limp-looking girl might be very scary. Force, she screamed, turned and ran.

The head of the family is similar to her in martial arts, but now she was hacked to death just by meeting her face, which made her terrified, how dare she confront Zhao Ji again?

Zhao Ji chased after her with a knife, and kicked her calf from behind, just like she did to Wang Shen, breaking her leg bones, bone debris and flesh flew out through the broken trouser legs, and the woman fell to her knees on the ground, Zhao Ji took a deep breath and put the knife on her neck.

This knife was snatched by Wei Chuyan from the assassin, human blood, horse blood, assassin's, guard's, businessman's... I don't know how much blood I drank along the way, the chill was overwhelming.Just putting it on the woman's body alone made the woman cry and beg desperately for mercy.

Regardless of her cries, Zhao Ji tore off the water bag around her waist, opened her lips and poured two mouthfuls into her mouth. She was choked to the point of tears, but she still swallowed the water intermittently. On the side, after waiting for half an hour, she didn't see any strange reaction, so she knew that the water was indeed clear water.

Cautiously, she took a sip, the coolness passed through her throat and flowed into her limbs, making her body that was about to collapse after being tortured by days of thirst alive.

Slowing down a bit, she ran to Wei Chuyan with the water bag in her arms, and carefully fed the water into her mouth, not daring to feed too much. After Chu Yan took a sip or two, Zhao Ji put the water bag beside her, Go to the man's body to untie the blood-stained water bag, and then run to the woman.

"Where did you come from, this water?"

The woman rolled on the ground in pain, faltering and hawing, and didn't answer much.

Zhao Ji understood her thoughts, and said coldly, "Tell me where the water came out, and I will spare your life."

"I said, I said, just thirty miles ahead of this place, there is a village called Yunshui Village, and there is a life-saving well in the village."

Zhao Ji saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he put down the knife, unscrewed the man's water bag and poured two mouthfuls into her mouth.

Sure enough, there was medicine, as soon as the water was poured, the woman fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the tension in Zhao Ji's heart finally loosened. She dropped the knife, stumbled to the side of the road and retched.

Just now, she killed...

Clutching her lower abdomen, she knelt on the ground, her delicate knees were sore from the stones, and her face was scratched by the dry grass that was swaying around. Zhao Ji couldn't feel these, she lowered her head and bent over, She couldn't help retching, she didn't vomit anything in her stomach, only sour juice came out, but the nausea wouldn't go away, she shrank into a small ball, as if she was about to vomit out bile... ....

I don't know how long she vomited, but someone hugged her from behind.

A breeze surrounded her like a breeze.

When she was hugged for the first time, she flicked in panic. Seeing that it was Wei Chuyan, she relaxed again. Being held in her arms, feeling the soft body and smelling the plum fragrance on Wei Chuyan, she finally No more trembling.

"Wei Chuyan...I killed someone..."

"I know...it's okay, it's okay. You didn't kill a good person, don't be afraid."

Embracing her from behind, Wei Chuyan put one hand on her two arms and hugged her full, while the other hand reached down to Zhao Ji's hand and wrapped the little hand in his palm.The slightly cold lips pressed against her earlobe, comforting her in her ear.

Just after waking up, the little water couldn't relieve all the thirst, her throat was still hoarse, but her voice was gentle enough, Wei Chuyan hugged Zhao Ji, and kept telling her: It's okay, don't be afraid, what you did was right. .....

Speaking of the latter part, Chu Yan lost her voice, but the gentle and calm tone seemed to be still lingering in Zhao Ji's ears. Zhao Ji turned around and covered her mouth: "I told you to talk less... ...don't take my words seriously."

Unable to speak, Wei Chuyan grabbed her hand, rubbed it on her cheek, looked into her eyes, and nodded seriously.

The emotions were relieved by this, and the two walked back to the road. Chu Yan wiped the knife clean, took off the scabbard from Zhao Ji, and hung the heavy long knife on his waist. Zhao Ji picked up the water bag and gave it to Wei Chu Yan. He took another bite: "Don't worry, the woman said, there is a village thirty li further west, and there is water in the village."

She asked Wei Chuyan to drink more, and seeing Chuyan's throat sliding up and down, she couldn't help pursing her lips.

Wei Chuyan noticed her small movements, put water to her mouth, and gestured for her to drink some herself.

After all, Zhao Ji was too young, and it was hard to bear it for so long. At this time, the water was brought to her mouth, and she took a few sips with Gulu Gulu in her arms. Wei Chuyan was afraid that she would hurt her lungs, so he took her away and refused to let her drink any more.

"I'll give you a drink later."

Made such a mouth shape, but still couldn't make any sound, Zhao Ji couldn't understand what she said, Wei Chuyan could only shake his head, and hung the water bag around his waist for her.

When passing by the unconscious woman, Wei Chuyan's eyes fell on the water bag beside her.

Zhao Ji shook his head: "This water bag is filled with drugs, so I can't drink it."

Chu Yan understood and picked up the water bag anyway.Then she touched the woman, found some fresh pancakes, and handed them to Zhao Ji. Knowing that she would not eat Zhao Ji, she took half of the pancakes in her mouth, and unscrewed the one with the medicine. The water bag, took out the water in it, washed Zhao Ji's hands, then tore off a piece of cloth from himself to wet it, covered Zhao Ji's head, and tied a knot on the back of his neck.

This can relieve the heat and keep the head from being so hot.

Zhao Ji looked at her with a piece of cloth on his head, and after drinking water, his slightly pursed mouth seemed less dry. , more like a small bun.

The hair is also covered, and the thin eyebrows are also covered, and they are soft.

After laughing for a while, she remembered the corpse she saw when she woke up, and Zhao Ji's pitiful appearance when she found Zhao Ji, her eyes gradually darkened.

Some things are too cruel for Zhao Ji... She was thinking about one thing recently. Could it be that Zhao Ji also went south with the imperial concubine in the previous life?Could it be...Zhao Ji was hunted down in the previous life?

If that's the case... It's no wonder that the emperor in the previous life had such a temperament.

Recently, she has always seen the shadow of that person in her previous life in Xiao Zhao Ji.

Some things should happen or are happening, some people should grow up or grow up.

Just like now, Zhao Ji can pick up a knife and force himself to kill.And a few months ago, this girl with big watery eyes told her naively: "In the future, in my feudal country, I will not allow them to kill slaves at will. I don't like it."

When she was worried about Zhao Ji's kindness and innocence a few days ago, she always hoped that she would grow up quickly and realize the cruelty of reality as soon as possible, but when that day really came, she couldn't help but want to cover Zhao Ji as much as possible. Ji's eyes, to help Zhao Ji remove all obstacles.

But...while she was hesitating, Zhao Ji had already been forced to accept all of this, and began to walk towards the person from the previous life.

How else?She couldn't stop Zhao Ji's footsteps.

Just let her go as smoothly as possible.

Stop and go, stop and go, the world will not see people's sorrows and joys, the sunset hanging in the sky is still gorgeous, but no one here can appreciate it, but only curse it.The dead weeds were bent down by people, and gradually straightened up again, as if they were alive, but...it was just an illusion after all.

Just like those people lying on the side of the road, although their bodies are still warm, they can never open their eyes again.

In this land, the trees are dead, the grass is withered, only the wind is still alive, and it keeps bringing dryness. The lips of those who blow it are cracked, the skin of those who blow it is dry, and the heart of those who blow it is burning.

But with Wei Chuyan by his side, Zhao Ji felt refreshed.

After walking for twenty or thirty miles, I really saw the village.

At dusk, the two of them walked into the village. The doors and windows were locked tightly, and there were no pedestrians or voices.

"It seems that no one lives in this village."

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of cooking smoke from a wooden house covered with black tiles in the distance.Both Zhao Ji and Wei Chuyan were refreshed, quickened their pace, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and before entering to say hello to the master, they heard voices coming from inside.

"Hey, it shouldn't be. Aren't the youngest and the others quite agile? Why have you been out for so long this time?"

"I said I was looking east to see if there were any good ones. There is no one here, so I have to go farther and have a look. I also took away a few pancakes..."

Intermittent voices could be heard from inside the room. Outside, Zhao Ji and Wei Chuyan looked at each other and realized where they were.

East side, things, pancakes...

Well, this is a den of thieves.

The group inside is the same as the two people I met today.

"Brother, do you want to go out and look for it?"

"Look for it, look for it? It's time to eat now, who has the time to look for them? It's nothing to worry about, you don't know about them? They are smarter than a mouse that burrows, and they go out with medicine Yes, what can happen? Go and serve me my meal!"

Before the conversation in the room stopped, one person said again: "Brother, I think we have enough goods in this batch. No matter how much we have, we won't be able to eat it. Why don't we go out to catch sheep until the third child comes back this time? We should go earlier Chang'an, there are so many people, one more day to stay and one more food to eat!"

"How many people are here? Forty or fifty? You bastard, tell you to count and give me different numbers every time!"

"Hey, you ask the third child to count, my... big brother, it's not that you don't know that I can only count to ten."

"Don't mention it, I will send you when the third child is here? Damn, the third child and the others want to go out, saying that there must be fat sheep. Don't even think about it. The people in this land are old and dead, and the lambs will give it to them." Now that you've caught it, what else can you find?"

"Brother is right, those couple are greedy to death! If nothing else, the Eldest Master is still waiting for us to hand over someone. Chang'an is pressing so hard, and we won't be long waiting. Look at them, they don't know how to run away." How far out!"

After listening for a while, Wei Chuyan took Zhao Ji's hand and quietly avoided it. He found an abandoned house at the head of the village and went inside.

"A slave trader."

"They're going to Chang'an."

The two spoke at the same time, but what they said was different.

The voice of the first banquet was still hoarse, but the voice of Chang'an was extremely clear.Zhao Ji was reminded by her, looking at her, his mouth opened slightly, very cute.

"Should we follow them to Chang'an?"

"It's not 'following', but trying to get them to 'take' us to Chang'an."

I don't know how long this room has been vacant, and there is a smell of dust. When I opened my mouth to talk at the first banquet, I accidentally sucked in more dust, and opened my mouth to cough a few times. Zhao Ji threw himself into her arms very nervously, to see if she had any nothing.

Along the way, Zhao Ji's dependence on Wei Chuyan became more and more obvious. She followed Wei Chuyan, from the hills to the plains, saw so many dead people, encountered so many bad things, but as long as Wei Chuyan was by her side, it seemed like this Everything is nothing.

As long as there is Wei Chuyan at the...

She had already suffered once when Chuyan fell into a coma before, and now that Wei Chuyan felt a little unwell, she was very scared.

As Zhao Ji rushed over, a few tiles fell from the dilapidated eaves, and there were several noises. Soon, footsteps came from outside the door. He must have heard the sound from here and came to investigate.

Wei Chuyan held Zhao Ji in his arms, and said quickly in a soft voice: "We will be 'deceived' by them later, don't drink the water they handed you, and don't be afraid of being discovered, they are A group of reckless men who took their lives to make a fortune have already tasted the sweetness, as long as they pretend to be a little bit, they will never find out. Now disguising as slaves and being sold to Chang'an is the best way to deceive people."

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, Chuyan put both hands on Zhao Ji's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and assured her: "Chuyan will definitely send you back to Chang'an."

In Wei Chuyan's eyes, there is the twilight of stars, like a morning star, as long as you look into her eyes, it seems that you will never get lost.

Such a person, such a pair of eyes, who would not trust it?

Zhao Ji grabbed Wei Chuyan's skirt and nodded vigorously.

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open, and a big man about eight feet tall walked in. When he saw the two little men inside, his eyes lit up.

As soon as I said the lamb, the lamb was delivered to the door.Look at these two girls, although they are hungry and thin, but they are children, just take care of them, they lose their flesh quickly and gain flesh quickly.

If you keep it well, you will be able to sell it for a good price.
