Chapter 1 Death (1)
The walls of the capital are tall and majestic, standing there like a giant.
Oak-hee looked at the city wall with a face full of surprise. She has been walking for half a month since she escaped from Zhuangzi.
The guards on the city wall watched Yuxi knock on the city gate fiercely, and shouted sharply: "Go away quickly, don't blame me for being rude if you don't go away again." .
Oak-hee raised her head and shouted loudly, "I'm not a refugee, I'm a girl from the Korean government, please open the city gate and let me in!"
The soldier who guarded the gate thought it was very interesting. In these days, anyone can tell any kind of lie in order to survive: "Why don't you say that you are the queen's sister." This woman said that she was a girl from the Korean government, but not the queen's sister.
Oak Xi immediately exclaimed, "The Empress is indeed my sister." She and the Empress were half-sisters.
A burst of laughter came from the gate of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city were too lazy to talk nonsense. The most effective way to deal with such people was force. The man pulled up his bow and arrow, ready to shoot the woman under the city wall. However, he was stopped by a soldier with a beard next to him. The bearded man said coldly, "Don't you feel ashamed to put down the bow and arrow and attack an unarmed woman and child?" Those robbers can't kill them, they can only bully them Women and children, what kind of heroes are you?
The young soldier put down his bow and arrow and dared not shoot any more.
The bearded man shouted at Oak Xi, "There is a refugee camp in the west. If you want to survive, go west." He was also showing the woman a way to survive.
The sky was getting dark, and the wind was blowing on her body. Oak Xi was so cold that she shivered. She had no choice but to walk towards the refugee camp in the west, leaning on the stick in her hand.
There were too many disaster victims, and the imperial court was afraid that if these people were not properly arranged, they would have ****, so they set aside a piece of land in the west and gave them two meals of porridge every day, so that they could survive, so that they would not cause trouble.
The refugee camps have built a lot of wooden houses, but these wooden houses that do not leak air or water are nothing to do with Oak Xi. A woman in the refugee camp took her to a thatched hut made of branches and leaves, and said, "The person who lived in this thatched hut died this morning, and it happened to be vacant. You can live here!"
Oak Xi's already bloodless face turned paler, and her lips twitched for a long time before she said one word: "Thank you."
The woman glanced at Oak Xi, and she was behaving like a lady, and she didn't know how she landed in such a field. But she didn't have time to take care of herself, where could she take care of the woman in front of her, she said blankly, "Don't go out at night, or there will be danger."
Oak Xi had been frightened a lot in the past half month, but luckily, in order to escape the danger, she not only smeared dirty on her face, but also smeared a kind of grass on her body, a kind of medicinal herb that gave off a fishy smell, which is why she could The reason why An Ran walked to the gate of the city.
Oak Xi got into the thatched shed, and a peculiar smell came to her face. Combined with the stench on her body, the mixed smell made people vomit. Oak-hee gritted his teeth and held back, it was good to have such a thatched hut at night, at least the thatched hut could keep out the wind.
After a day's walk, Oak-hee was extremely tired, lying in the thatched hut and soon fell asleep. She slept in the middle of the night and woke up hungry. She didn't dare to go out, and kept covering her stomach until dawn.
Refugee camps serve porridge twice a day. Oak-hee waited until near noon, starving and dizzy, when the refugee camp began to serve porridge. She found a wooden bowl full of holes from the thatched shed. Rather than a wooden bowl, it is a hollow piece of wood.
The order in the refugee camp is not bad, and there is no looting. After a bowl of porridge, Oak-hee felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach. She didn't go back to the thatched hut, but asked the person who made the porridge: "Brother, did the food we eat come from the capital?"
After knowing that the food was sent from the capital,
Oak-hee thought about finding the food-delivery people and asking them to help him send a message to the Duke's Mansion. She was lucky enough to see the food delivery person in the evening.
Most of the people who delivered the food were covering their noses when they smelled Ok-hee's body. One of the men with a Chinese character face stood up and asked, "What's wrong with you stopping us?"
Yuxi said quickly, "I'm a girl from the Korean government. I want to ask you to help me send a message to the government so that the government will send someone to pick me up."
The man looked surprised, how could the girl from the government's government be in the refugee camp, this is too strange: "Which girl are you from the government of Korea?"
Yuxi's face stiffened, and she said with difficulty: "I am the fourth girl of the Korean government." In addition to being the fourth girl of the Korean government, she is also the wife of Jiang Hongjin, the son of the Minister of Officials. It's just that she hates Jiang Hongjin and everyone in the Jiang family, so she doesn't want to say that she belongs to the Jiang family.
As soon as these words came to an end, one of the people in pea-green clothes sneered: "You must pretend to be a dead person. The eldest grandma of the Jiang family was killed by robbers on Zhuangzi half a month ago, and the obituary has been published. The coffin was also buried a few days ago." He knew this because Jiang Hongjin was so famous, who was the youngest champion of the Zhou Dynasty.
Yuxi shuddered when she heard this. She didn't expect the Jiang family to be so cruel. She declared her dead without finding her body: "I didn't die, I escaped from Zhuangzi."
The man said disdainfully: "The gang of robbers are extremely vicious and never leave their mouths, let alone you, even the five big and three rough men can't escape."
Yuxi gritted her teeth and said, "I happened to be picking flowers in the back mountain when the robbers rushed to Zhuangzi, and that's how I escaped this disaster." She saw the raging fire on Zhuangzi, how could she dare Back to Zhuangzi, he escaped directly from the back mountain.
The man with the Chinese character face looked at Yuxi and asked, "Where's the maid and the old lady beside you?"
Oak Xi clenched her hands tightly and said slowly, "There is only one old woman beside me to serve me, and that woman's husband and children are all in the village. Seeing something happened to the villa, she left me and ran back to the village. I didn't have any. Lie to you, I am really the fourth girl of the government." On the way to escape, she exchanged all the valuables on her body for food, so she didn't have a token. At the moment, I can only beg the man with the face of the Chinese character: "I beg you to send me a message to Mrs. Guo Gong, she will send someone to pick me up if she knows that I am not dead."
The man with the Chinese character face looked at Oak Xi sympathetically, and said, "Even if I were willing to bring you a message, no one would come to pick you up."
Yuxi shook her head and said, "Impossible. Auntie knows that I'm not dead and will send someone to pick me up. As long as you bring me a message, I will definitely thank you when I go back."
The man with the face with the Chinese character felt that Yuxi's IQ was worrying, and said directly: "Even if you are really the fourth girl of the Guogong's mansion, if you have been missing for half a month, you will not have a way to survive when you go back." Where is the woman who has been missing for half a month? There is innocence, which is why the Jiang family announced that she was killed by a robber. In the same way, the Korean government can't afford to lose face. Therefore, when this woman goes back, there is only one way to die.
