The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 351 From Dancing Girl to General (21)

After Lin Shu finished speaking, she was about to raise her legs and walk around Najeep to go out.

Seeing that he couldn't speak to Lin Shu, the latter immediately winked at the two musicians behind him, meaning that they should cooperate with him to keep Lin Shu behind.

Just when Lin Shu turned her back to these people and her feet were about to walk half a meter away from the exit of the gate, she suddenly stopped her steps with keen hearing.

Because she had already heard a few crackling winds coming from behind her.

She didn't even need to turn her head to imagine who these people were rushing towards her.

After she stamped her feet, she raised her head to look at the bright sunlight falling outside the door, and said softly, "Why bother?"

After a while, three muffled gunshots sounded in the room one after another.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Every sound is so dull, so depressing that people can't breathe.

Outside the door, although the bright sunlight shines on the tiles and wooden beams of the roof, it never sees the darkness and filth in the dark crevices.

The moss grows quietly along the tiles, and the undigested seeds in the bird droppings fall on the moss and grow into clumps of weeds on the wall.

When Lin Shu came out of the house, the breeze blew, and the grass on the wall was swaying with the wind, erratic.

She glanced at the scattered passers-by on the far side of the street and the beggars sitting in a row at the corner, stretched out her hand to put on the veil on her face, changed the direction, turned and left.

Carrying her two small luggage on her back, Lin Shu avoided crowds along the way, wandered the old streets for a while, and finally came to a remote place in the north of the city.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, she got into a small wooden house.

After entering this wooden house covered with dust and cobwebs, she did not stop on the dirty floor, but walked to a corner of the house.

There is a very inconspicuous circular protrusion at this corner.

Lin Shu hooked the ring with her fingers and lifted it up vigorously. After the wooden board was lifted, a simple underground passage appeared inside.

She stepped on this staircase leading to the underground that she accidentally discovered more than a year ago, and came to the underground in the dark.

After passing through a two-meter-long underground corridor, Lin Shu finally arrived at her destination.

This is a small basement of about [-] square meters, which stores a lot of food and water, as well as the most basic living facilities.On the wall of the basement was a foot-long window, which was covered with a black cloth to block the light.

If the black cloth is removed, sunlight can shine in from outside.

And looking out through this glass window, you can clearly see the Hucheng River flowing by.

In order to prepare such a safe place to avoid disasters, Lin Shu spent a lot of energy on it, but fortunately it succeeded in the end.

She placed the two bundles in her hand on a small low table, and sat down on a blanket on the ground.

The quietness and closure of the underground space did not make Lin Shu feel the slightest fear, but instead made her thinking more active.

She was thinking about how she could fulfill the original owner's wish.

The original owner wanted to stand out and live a brilliant life, but she didn't want to improve her current social status by marrying some high-ranking person.

But apart from getting married, this world doesn't give women any other way to go up.

If you want to increase your popularity by doing business, making inventions, or gathering refugees, none of these methods will work.

Firstly, she does not have such financial resources and prestige as a high-ranking person, and secondly, it is because she is a woman at a gender disadvantage.

Thinking that all these paths are unreachable, Lin Shu thought about the possibility of cooperating with the Great Britain Company, or the possibility of using the name of God to win people's hearts and accumulate strength.

However, these two paths were temporarily denied by her after she had considered them carefully.

Only then did Lin Shu realize the difficulty of this task.

So far, she hasn't discovered any supernatural powers in this world, or anything else.

But the real difficulty is that with the background of the original owner and the current social environment, she can't change her own destiny at all.

This country defines a person's life according to his origin, and divides people into four classes, except for the untouchables.

When a child is born, whether he is a Brahman or a Sudra is already predestined.

If he was born in a family of superior people, then he and his descendants will also be superior people from generation to generation, engaging in respected and superior occupations such as priests.

If he was born as a commoner, even the lowest class of untouchables, then he can only do what commoners and untouchables can do, and his children and grandchildren can only have the same fate as him, which cannot be changed.

The children of princes and nobles will always be nobles.

The children of untouchables who use feces to clean toilets will always remain untouchables.

But there is nothing permanent in this world, and this system of governance is now under the impact of foreign colonists.

Lin Shu, who was deep in thought, couldn't help but think of the chaos that was about to happen in Hamby City. Maybe she could still find a way out of the current chaotic situation.

Just as Lin Shu went underground and began to live in seclusion, the atmosphere in the mansion of the richest man in Hamby became increasingly tense.

In the garden full of flowers, the middle-aged Fusang already had a pile of white hair on his head, but the coldness and cruelty of his brown-black eyes became more and more obvious.

Sometimes, he ordered his men to do things.

When the matter was not done well, when the subordinate came back tremblingly to report, one moment Fusang could smile and pat the shoulder to appease the man, but the next moment he suddenly stabbed the unprepared subordinate with a knife from his sleeve.

Maybe it's because he himself succeeded in ascending to power by betraying his original master, so he is almost instinctively wary and distrustful of these individuals under him, for fear that he will repeat the mistakes of his predecessor, the richest man.

Although he was in the garden at this time, he was in no mood to enjoy the flowers and birds.

Because he is anxiously waiting for the outcome of an extremely important war.

Since King Sha II was born a few years ago and led the crowd to successfully drive out the invaders and start to regain lost ground, many native states that were originally occupied by the British Company also launched a resistance.

These actions of theirs made the British army extremely annoyed.

Due to the large number of rebels, the leaders of the British Company even had to withdraw the troops they originally planned to send to the Qing Dynasty and come back to kill these damn natives.

Because the strength of the British Company is not comparable to that of its home country, its military strength is limited after all, and the number of mercenaries stationed in India is only 5 to [-].

However, the rebel team numbered tens of millions of people, and there were rebellions in multiple states at the same time.

At this time, I didn't care about cleaning up the British generals in Xiaobang, and decided to kill chickens and monkeys, and use the most powerful one among the rebels.
