Shadow Guard Capture Manual

Zhao Ruhui's biological clock was actually an hour later than He Zhizhou's, but at this moment, he probably had something on his mind, and he woke up before dawn.Looking at the postures of the two of them, he calmly withdrew his hand, in order to prevent some unspeakable tragedy from happening when his chief lord woke up.

Now that he woke up, Zhao Ruhui stopped lying on the bed, put on his clothes, and went downstairs to wash up lightly.He took care of himself, saw that the guys had already cooked breakfast, ordered some porridge and side dishes, and two meat buns with thin skin and big stuffing, and went upstairs with them.

This time the sound of the door opening woke He Zhizhou up. He was stunned and sat up reflexively from the bed. He touched the dagger with his right hand but found nothing. Only then did he regain some consciousness.But at this moment, he couldn't help feeling that he didn't know what year it was, and squinted at Zhao Ruhui with his half-closed eyes and a sense of bewilderment and impatience.

It's just that he probably doesn't know that there are faint red marks on his face from sleeping on his side, his long black hair is unavoidably messy after a night's sleep, and the little hair on his forehead is very flamboyant. The whole person looks dull and cute, without his usual lethality.

Zhao Ruhui lowered his head, turned his subconscious smile to the breakfast on the plate, and stepped into the room after smoothing the corners of his mouth, "Sorry, did you bother Mr. He? It's still early. If Mr. He is tired How about having some breakfast before resting?"

He Zhizhou squinted his eyes and looked out of the window. Although the window was not open, the morning light that penetrated through the cracks of the window could indeed tell that it was already daylight. , I'm going to wash up, I'll be right back."

Zhao Ruhui agreed with a smile, served him the rice porridge, and then waited for him to come up to eat together.

Thin porridge with a few side dishes, although the breakfast is light, but the amount is sufficient, there is nothing to be picky about, but He Zhizhou is a little twisted when eating, he reached out and rubbed his waist several times, unconsciously murmured "" Strange, didn't you sleep well last night?"

The culprit who was eating the steamed stuffed bun looked at his nose, his nose, his nose, and his heart. After taking the last mouthful of porridge, he proposed, "Is Mr. He's waist uncomfortable? Do you want me to press it for you?"

He Zhizhou was surprised by his care and enthusiasm, and his attitude towards him was even more relaxed, he waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a little stiff, not so coquettish."

Zhao Ruhui then smiled with peace of mind.

It was no longer raining in the sky, and the sun, which had been lazy for several days, finally slowly emerged from under the white clouds. The two of them carried their packages on their backs and continued on their way.Although they had no horses, the two of them traveled without any slowness. After two or three days, they reached the border of Xuanzhou.

There are many mountains near Xuanzhou, and it is a place rich in wood and herbs. There are countless shops of these two types, and merchants from nearby counties often come to buy herbal medicines, so it is not surprising to see strangers entering the city.And the two of them also went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, stopping and walking along the way, and visited a lot of merchants and shops.

However, both of them are keen people, and after walking for a long time, they discovered that Xuanzhou is a little weird. They are all old and weak women and children, but it is rare to see young and strong men working on the street. Besides, the frequency of funeral affairs in the city seems to far exceed the frequency of other places. Many people are dressed in mourning , or a white cloth is tied on the hand.

Zhao Ruhui and He Zhizhou looked at each other. After a few days of getting used to each other, they had a tacit understanding. They immediately understood the dignity in each other's hearts. It happened that a woman in coarse linen asked them if they needed any medicinal materials. Zhao Ruhui smiled and said directly. Nod your head.

"Auntie, we are from the next state. Daddy's birthday, my brother and I plan to buy some high-quality medicinal materials and go back to honor his old man. Do you have anything suitable here?" Zhao Ruhui smiled.

"Yes, yes, would you like to come in and take a look?" The woman became more enthusiastic when she heard that there was a business coming.

Both of them agreed, but when the woman turned her head to lead the way, He Zhizhou cast a dissatisfied glance at him—who is your brother?

Zhao Ruhui shrugged innocently - Bucai, 24 this year, how old is Chief He.

The woman did not see their brief exchange, and carefully took two large boxes from the shelf, and introduced them while showing them, "This is Polygonum multiflorum that has been grown for at least 50 years; this is wild ginseng that has grown for nearly a hundred years! They are all from my family. That guy picked it up the mountain! Can you see if you need anything?"

"Mountain ginseng that is nearly a hundred years old? This is already a rare thing. Even some dignitaries may not have many treasures in their hands. Auntie, since you have it?" Zhao Ruhui looked surprised.

The woman smiled sheepishly, "We don't have anything else here, there are still a lot of medicinal materials, and I just happened to miss it."

"Where, we went to a few before, and they didn't have wild ginseng with such a good age and shape. Your husband must be a lucky person... Hey, aunt, why didn't I see your husband?" Zhao Ruhui pretended to mention it casually. As soon as he arrived, he asked a few questions curiously.

"Before Master Zhizhou recruited people into the mountains, he followed them to help, and it wasn't just our family. The strong men here basically all went. Some helped drive away the beasts, and some were in charge of logging. Clear the way..." the woman said.

"Keeping the beast away? Isn't that dangerous?"

"It's much better than before," the woman sighed deeply when she mentioned this, "I'm afraid you don't know, we were not as rich as we are now, there are poor mountains and rivers everywhere, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts, dangerous It’s also difficult, how many people are like a mountain, and there are no bones left. Even the officials and lords of the court are unwilling to come to us to work here. Later, the adults really have nothing to do, so they gritted their teeth and decided to appeal to everyone to enter the mountain together—there are more people, more power, Although there are still casualties, it is still much better than the previous ones that never came back!"

"There are so many ferocious beasts in the mountains. It is definitely not easy for people to go deep into the forest and compete with wild beasts for territory. What's more, even if you can drive away the wild beasts, those poisonous insects and snakes are enough to make people hard to guard against, and the casualties—I'm afraid it's not small. ?”

The woman smiled bitterly, with nostalgia and helplessness in her expression, "It's much better than before. Our mountain has always been called the mountain of death. At the beginning, when the adults called everyone to enter the mountain together, no one was willing. He repeatedly assured that this was the first group of people to enter the mountain, and although some people were injured, it was quite worth it compared to the precious medicinal materials brought back! This is how everyone will seek wealth through danger."

"There are more and more medicinal materials dug up, and everyone sells them outside. Gradually, our reputation for being rich in medicinal materials has spread."

"It must have attracted a lot of people to come here." Zhao Ruhui sighed, the woman smiled at him friendly, and nodded in affirmation of his words, but He Zhizhou keenly felt that these words were light, and intuitively felt that his tone was a bit strange. strangeness.

"Then this herbal medicine...?" The woman asked with some embarrassment.

"This Polygonum multiflorum is very good." Zhao Ruhui gave the money readily, but when he went out, he smiled and gave He Zhizhou this large Polygonum multiflorum in his hand, "For you."

"Give it to me?" He Zhizhou was surprised, "What do I want this thing for? You didn't want it because you didn't want it, so you threw it to me, right?"

"He Shou Wu nourishes qi and blood, and can also black hair. Isn't it more suitable for the chief lord than Laoshan ginseng?" Zhao Ruhui didn't care about his tone, but deliberately winked at He Zhizhou jokingly.

He Zhizhou was embarrassed for a while. Except for Mo Luo, few people gave him anything. This month, it was either the hot pearl or the medicinal material. He was holding a huge Polygonum multiflorum for a while, and he was at a loss for what to do. It took a long time to put it in the package silently. Inside, it's time to start talking about the real thing.

"What the woman said was a little strange. Logically speaking, people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water. Many hunters live on the back of mountains. Even if there are really many wild beasts in this mountain, it is reasonable to say that they are not so dangerous that they will never return. The point where there are no bones left." He Zhizhou obviously felt that what the woman said before was very strange.He glanced at Zhao Ruhui who was nodding again, and frowned slightly, "Your tone was wrong just now, did you notice something wrong?"

Zhao Ruhui didn't expect him to observe himself so carefully, so he smiled at him before saying, "It just suddenly occurred to me that since a place is rich in medicinal materials, besides the merchants who buy and sell medicinal materials, naturally there are also merchants who want to try their luck" The other herb pickers here, right?"

But why did they come all the way, and they didn't see a person who picked medicine from outside?

He Zhizhou understood what Zhao Ruhui meant after thinking about it for a while, but judging from the current situation, this so-called wise official must have a big problem. Okay, how about this, you go up the mountain once, I'll go to the Zhizhou's mansion to have a look, and if there is any accident, I will return immediately, don't be in a hurry for the time being."

The two of them discussed the place and time of the meeting, and they directly divided into two groups.Zhao Ruhui glanced at the layers of green hills, his face remained unchanged, and with a single step, he disappeared among the people in an instant.
