Chapter 49 The Scimitar

Looking at this stubborn little girl, the eyes of several guards also turned to the long knife in her hand.

But there is still hesitation among them at the moment, after all, Emenas's name is there.

"Bitch!"

Seeing that the girl was motionless, the fat guard slapped her with a slap. Unprepared, Jie Na didn't dodge completely for a while, and was slapped in half, with a burning feeling on her face.

"How many times do you want me to say it?"

"Hurry up." Several people shouted.

The guards around also became tougher, feeling that the girl was blatantly resisting and not giving them face.

why.

Does everyone out of town have to be checked? Did they really do this for the sake of the residents of the city?

It always feels like something is wrong.

Zena's mind and emotions were in conflict with each other. She is an obedient and good child, and she is inevitably shaken in the face of such a righteous scolding.

thump—

A stone hit the back of the guard's head and fell to the ground.

"Who?"

The guard shouted angrily, and the other guards also turned to look around, but still didn't see who shot.

Another small pebble, thrown out from nowhere, smashed lightly on Jenna's back, let her sharp backhand catch it, and then held it, while the surrounding guards turned around to look around, she looked back and saw The wrist hiding behind the house made a gesture to her.

As if in an instant, the wrist was retracted to avoid being seen by other guards.

Seeing this scene, Jenna slowly came to a conclusion.

Then a few more stones were thrown and smashed on the guards' heads, causing them to scream in pain.

Taking advantage of the chaotic gap, Jenna got out of the siege of the guards, got on her horse, and rushed out of the city. Even if someone blocked her, she was sent flying with a scabbard.

After riding for a while outside the city, she slowly stopped when she saw that there were no chasing soldiers behind. After that, he found a corner in the woods to hide the horse here, and then turned back to the road and waited quietly behind the tree.

On the road, people walked out of the city one after another, and after a long time, a man with a dark brown cloak walked by, and Jenna stood up.

"Please wait."

The passerby turned around. It turned out to be an uncle with a beard. Seeing that his face was a little vicissitudes of life, he didn't seem surprised that Jenna suddenly stopped him.

"Thank you for your help." Jenna knew that this was the person who threw stones to help her just now, and also the machete last night.

"It's nothing, it's you, be careful when you go out." After the uncle answered briefly, he was ready to continue riding on the road.

"Wait a minute, where are you going?" Jena asked.

"I don't know, just walk around." The uncle replied casually.

"Please wait a moment, I'm going to Fengyan City, maybe it's just a short distance on the way." After calling the uncle to a stop, Jenna pulled out the horse from the depths of the woods, then rode the horse forward and walked side by side with the uncle.

"Little girl, you are so unprepared. If you walk with strangers like this, there will be problems." Although the uncle said so, he did not leave early.

"But I think Uncle is a good person." Jenna said.

"Haha, I'm not a good person." He laughed, then whipped his whip to increase his speed.

Following Jena behind him, he also accelerated, the two of them chatted casually without a word, and walked towards the west side.

...

"Where is the uncle from, I can't guess from your accent." Jena asked curiously.

"Me? Not anywhere. I'm wandering around anyway. Sometimes I find some work and make some money." He said casually.

As the road progressed, the two walked on the wilderness, watching the sunset gradually fall in the distance.

"Ha, it looks like I'm going to sleep in the wild today," the uncle said.

Afterwards, the two found a leeward place, tied the horses, found some dead wood, and raised a bonfire.

Surrounded by the warm bonfire, Zena talked about her experience. She was born in a mercenary family. Although her father was not around all the year round when she was a child, she lived a fairly wealthy life and had a good childhood.

"I'm not so lucky. When I was a child, my family was very hard, I did a lot of hard work, and I saw a lot of unhappy things." The uncle talked about his past lightly.

"What does Uncle think of the halberd faction and the bowhunting faction?" On the way, Jenna buried a lot of unanswerable questions and anguish.

"It's all scum, there's nothing to say." The uncle took off his boots, smelled his feet, and then turned upside down to shake off the dirt in the boots.

Zena covered her nose and continued to ask, "Then why did you help the bowhunting faction in the city yesterday?"

"It's easy to say, although it's all bad, but at present, the bowhunting faction seems to be a little bit better."

"But that's it. I advise you to avoid people from both sides when you see them." The uncle added.

"However, at present, there are only two factions in the country."

"So, this is a rotten country, and the ground is full of rotten bugs."

"However, there are some honest and kind villagers." Jenna said hesitantly.

"Maybe, it's just that they don't have a chance. If they are put into the teams of the two factions, they will become the same in three days, and they won't stand any test." The uncle whistled and took out the dried meat from the saddle package. strip

, skewered with wooden skewers, and roasted on the fire.

"I didn't believe it at first, but looking at you like this, you deserve to come out of Emenas." The uncle turned to look at the girl beside the fire.

"What does it look like?" Jenna asked in confusion.

"How should I put it, it's ideal and naive. Maybe Emenas is indeed a good place. It protects your group of children well, and allows you to see the beautiful and kind side of this world."

"Just take what the guard said to you this morning."

"You were actually hesitating at the time, right? Obviously, you can easily break through with your own strength, but because you take into account the rules and laws, you don't want to overstep it at will."

"If it wasn't for me, I'm afraid you would really be pulled into the house by them and put down your weapons."

"This...."

"Little girl, remember one thing. Not everyone's words are worth listening to and believing."

"Some scumbags, don't listen to a word of what they say, don't believe it. To deal with them, swords are the best words."

"If you reason with them, they will use all kinds of benevolence, righteousness and morality to coerce you. All of them are justified and righteous."

"The reason is to talk to those good people who are reasonable. When dealing with these scumbags, you are simply insulting yourself by reasoning with them."

"Then how can you tell which ones are scumbags and which ones are good?"

"Then let's see what he actually did. What's the use of saying it nicely. You can see who he is by looking at some dross."
