Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1126 Chapter 1126: Kang Jishou, it has to be you (Part 2) [Asking for double monthly votes]

 Good news, no need to save.

 Bad news, she doesn’t know which timeline she is in.

Shen Tang thought he was sent back to the original starting point by a fishbone. After killing all the servants, he realized that the season was wrong, the place was wrong, and the characters were wrong! Except for the woman who tried to plot against him, Shen Tang had no impression of the Shen family members who were exiled back then, nor of the servants he killed. So how did she find out that she hadn't gone back to the past?

Hahaha, of course it’s because of the face reflected in the stream, not the peerless face that she can’t help admiring every morning! As soon as he stretched his head out, the stream reflected a skinny, sallow face of a child with dry and sparse hair. Not only did his cheeks lack baby fat, they were also sunken.

Shen Tang touched his face: "She looks..."

She carefully considered her choice of words. If she couldn't go back in time, she would use this face in the future. The evaluation was too harsh. She was sorry for her ex and herself: "...it's a little unremarkable."

Shen Tang is like a deflated rubber ball.

I squatted helplessly by the stream, thinking about my next step.

 No matter what method she uses, she will return to Kang State.

 After more than ten years of hard work and struggle, a fish bone was destroyed in one day. Are you sure that God is not kidding her? The more Shen Tang thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his **** to the sky and spat out all kinds of curse words.

 Swear words are indeed a stress reliever.

 Speak it out and your mind will be truly clean!

“Huh—” Shen Tang exhaled a long breath and successfully completed a spiritual baptism. “For the current plan, we should first find out where and what time this is, and who ‘oneself’ is…”

She turned and waved to the group of shivering prisoners.

These people were so frightened that they wanted to pee their pants when they saw Shen Tang murdering people. However, they were shackles and couldn't escape even if they wanted to. They could only endure their fear and stay in the same space with Shen Tang, praying in their hearts that the murderer would not target them. Unexpectedly, things backfired.

"come here!"

 Shen Tang casually pointed at a man he liked.

 The man who was named turned pale.

 The legs were drained of all their strength and turned into noodles.

Shen Tang narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Come here!"

Seeing that the man was still wearing shackles, he untied him with a flick of his finger.

The man did not expect this development. Seeing Shen Tang's eyes becoming more and more dangerous, he immediately did not dare to delay and almost crawled up to Shen Tang: "Your honor, your honor, I will listen to your orders..."

Shen Tang asked: “Which country is this?”

 The man was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Tang sneered: "Is the question difficult?"

 The man said: "It's really not easy..."

 He realized that the person who asked this question had been possessed by a ghost, otherwise how could he ask such a strange question? If this ghost had asked ten days and a half earlier, he would still have been able to answer, but it would be difficult to ask now: "Fourteen days ago, the royal capital was destroyed."

 The country is ruined and the family is destroyed.

 Men also do not recognize the enemies who destroy their country.

This time it was Shen Tang's turn to be stunned: "Destroy the country?"

Is it also destroying the country? This place can't be Gaoguo, right?

 She just woke up and went on a killing spree.

 There are also brave men among the officers, so it can be inferred that they are still in the same world. The nearby vegetation likes moisture and tolerates waterlogging, and the air is warm and humid. This shows that this place is located in the south. The Kingdom of Gao is a neighbor to its own Kingdom of Kang. Most of its land is in the standard northern region. Only a small part borders the center of the continent, but it has nothing to do with the southern boundary: "Gao Kingdom?"

 She tentatively probes.

 The man has obviously never heard of a country whose country name is "高".

He said: "It is the country of Sun."

 The country name is "Sun"?

 Shen Tang has never heard of it either.

 “Oh, what country was this Sun Kingdom destroyed by?”

With her remaining strength, she can easily kill everyone, and she has no intention of hiding anything. She also knows that the man knows that she is not her real self, so why act?

 The man's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

According to the rules of the monsters, if it is really a mountain spirit that steals a living person, it must be careful to conceal its identity. Being as open-minded as the ghost in front of you can only prove that the other party is sure that they will keep it secret! Just die...

 He said: "It's 'qu'."

 Shen Tang heard the familiar pronunciation and his ears twitched.

He immediately corrected his lazy and casual sitting posture, leaned forward and approached the man, and asked clearly: "Which word did you say?"

 The man said: "It's a high-pitched song."

“What is the name of the king?” After Shen Tang asked, he remembered that most ordinary people don’t know the name of the king, so it would be useless to ask, but he must know the surname of the country. “You have to know the surname of the king.”

 The man replied: "Zhai, the national surname is Zhai!"

Shen Tang slapped his thigh suddenly and blurted out a sentence with a distinct Northern accent: "Zhai? Qu Guo? Could it be that the leader of the country is Zhai Xiaofang? If so, that would be great!"

The man silently added a message in his heart.

 This is a lonely ghost from the north.

Man: "The lord of Qu State is indeed named Xiaofang."

Shen Tang’s hanging heart dropped halfway from his throat.

 Learning that Qu State was still there and that Zhai Xiaofang was still in charge, she concluded that even if she traveled through time and space, the time difference between the two time spaces would not be too big. She suppressed her excitement and asked: "Then do you know what countries are in the northwest? Have you heard of Gao State? Do you know when Gao State was destroyed? Have you heard of Kang State?"

She bombarded the man with a series of questions.

 The man shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

 The northwest is thousands of miles away from here.

How would he know what country there was?

Shen Tang was a little annoyed, but not as anxious as before. He still had to confirm the information further. She waved to the man, indicating that he could leave: "I'll see you again if I need anything!"

 The man's body visibly shrank and stiffened.

 But he did not dare to be disobedient.

The sun at noon was extremely scorching. Even if I didn't move and simply basked in the sun, a trickle of liquid would flow down from the top of my hair along the gaps in my hair, and soon it would roll to my forehead. She raised her hand to wipe away the sweat and found that it felt strange.

 Looking down, I saw two or three black lines stuck to my fingertips.

 Everyone who often takes a bath knows what this thing is.

  Shen Tang: “…”

Looked at the sun: "Where are you taking a bath and sauna at the perfume store?"

 The air is so humid that the dirt on the surface of the human body is softened.

She suddenly buried her head into the stream.

 Rubbing his cheeks with both hands, running his fingers along his hair...

 Well, she looked at the hair between her fingers with some tears in her eyes.

 “I’m really going to be bald…”

The man returned to the prisoners and kept observing Shen Tang's every move out of the corner of his eye. He saw her holding her hair in her hands and sobbing. He was speechless and secretly prayed that this ghost would be merciful. She had killed so many guardsmen, but she could not kill them anymore.

 Shen Tang mourned for his hair for a few seconds.

 He tore off a piece of still intact cloth from the corpse of the officer and wrapped it around his head, trying to cover his bald spot. After doing this, she had time to deal with the exiled prisoners, and some of them showed symptoms of heat stroke: "The sun is too hot, why don't you hide under the shade of a tree?" What is a person doing squatting here crowded with others?

 A group of prisoners: “…”

 The position was moved with Shen Tang's permission.

 Hunger in the belly reminded Shen Tang that it was time to eat.

She made a big cake without anyone else watching, and ate it one bite at a time. When it was a little dry, she touched the corpse of the officer, went to the stream to fetch water, and then used martial energy to heat the stream water in the water bag until it boiled. There are many freshwater parasites in the wild, and even brave warriors may not be able to withstand them. The other inmates, whose eyes were sunken from hunger, stared at her for a moment. Even though their eyes were green from hunger, they didn't dare to grab it.

Who dares to rob him? The body of the officer is not even cold yet.

 The sound of someone swallowing made Shen Tang's attention.

When I saw that the other party was a little girl, she was about the same age as Lin Feng when I first met her, and her temperament was somewhat similar, so I naturally had a good impression: "Are you hungry? Come and beg for food when you are hungry."

If you don’t take the initiative to fight for it, why don’t you expect others to send it to you?

 The little girl also forgot her fear when she was tortured by hunger.

Despite the obstruction of his family, he had the courage to ask for two cakes from Shen Tang, giving half to himself and the other half to his elderly grandmother. Shen Tang looked at the little girl's thick black hair with some envy, grabbed two cakes out of thin air and pushed them into her arms.

 “Eat.”

 The little girl’s eyes lit up.

When the other prisoners saw this, their thoughts also became vivid.

Shen Tang didn’t skimp on the food either.

Take the opportunity to find out what these people committed and were exiled.

This matter is more complicated. These prisoners are not from the same family. They are all prisoners from nearby counties. The reasons for being imprisoned are varied. Some people have indeed committed evil, but some are unjustly accused. Because the original country was destroyed, the officials who handled everyone's cases were either dead, escaped, or changed their jobs, leaving only a pile of files. This kind of debt is generally called "bad debt". If it is handled well, there will be no credit. If it is not handled well, all the blame will be shouldered, and no one will want to get involved.

 Generally, one size fits all.

Either amnesty, a write-off, or a complete verdict.

 Even if someone reverses the case in the future, there will be no way to investigate.

 This is a trouble-free approach.

In Shen Tang’s Kang State, all cases like this were reported to the Ministry of Punishment, which asked the Ministry of Punishment to arrange for re-investigation of the case in various places, and then review it by special personnel. The workload was staggering. However, multitasking is a compulsory skill for Kangguo officials, and the workload is actually not bad.

 Qu State obviously has no tradition of squeezing officials in any way.

Even so, Zhai Xiaofang is not one-size-fits-all.

 After he captured Sun State, he ordered that except for the prisoners involved in the iron case, other prisoners had the opportunity to appeal. The local government must reiterate the case when receiving complaints from prisoners. Shen Tang nodded: "Zhai Xiaofang did a pretty good job, quite humane."

 They praise it on the lips, but in fact they see the disadvantages at a glance.

The intentions of the upper levels are good, but if the grassroots are unwilling to implement and cooperate, no matter how good the policy is, it will not have the original effect, and may even become a burden, causing public dissatisfaction. Prisoners from so many different places were escorted together, wearing shackles, walking barefoot, and being exposed to the scorching sun... How can I reiterate?

 The younger ones have not yet begun to have sex, and the beard and hair of the older ones are all white.

 If you die on the way, you will die without any evidence.

 Shen Tang couldn't help but think of the original owner of the body.

 The original owner of the body is not very old, so why is he a prisoner?

As soon as this idea came to her mind, a weak response came from her mind, and the voice was still familiar to her: "Because of the theft, someone took the opportunity to settle the account, and she was imprisoned after being arrested."

 “How do you use my voice?”

 Shen Tang asked the other party in his heart.

The voice was silent for a few breaths: "I am 'Zixu'."

 “Tunan’s ‘Zixu’ is not this sound.”

 “I am your ‘Zixu’!”

 The response sounded a bit more gritty.

Shen Tang: "...What the hell?"

She scratched the back of her head through the cloth.

 In hindsight, I remembered that she really had a "Zixu".

“Ahem…Zixu, what happened?”

Zixu said resentfully: "I have to ask Kang Jishou."

  Shen Tang: “…”

 Kang Jishou, it has to be you!

With Zixu’s explanation, Shen Tang finally figured out the situation—she only traveled through space, not time, and her original body was stuck in a fishbone and was unconscious. Zixu was first harmed by Kang Jishou, and then swept away by Gu Chi's way of being a scribe, and was accidentally trapped in the dream that this body weaved before it died. Zixu was lost in a dream, and before he could come out, the original owner suffered from heatstroke and hunger.

Shen Tang: "What should I do now? I have to go back!"

"You can't do it now. I need to use this body to recover." The original owner of this body is dead. If it is not kept alive, the body will soon rot and smell. Before she recovers, I must help her maintain this body.

 “You can also recover from the Palindrome Palace.” She almost thought she was sent back to the beginning with a fish bone, which scared her to death, okay?

Zixu gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still have the nerve to return to Wen Palace?"

 “Why do I have no face?”

　　　　　　　　　　 shouldn’t you stay in Wen Palace?

 The interior of Wen Palace is full of pure literary spirit, which is conducive to recovery.

Zixu chuckled in a strange way.

“Why don’t you ask about your kind thoughts that deserve to be punished by hundreds of millions of knives?”

What kind thoughts, just like a sickly girl!

Since he and Wuyou appeared, they have become her toys. They are bullied to the point of misery every day, and they desperately hope that the main body will summon them out. I don’t want to be with a yandere for a moment!

Life was already difficult, but Kang Jishou was even more difficult.

The experience of those two days was a nightmare that I didn’t want to recall!

Shen Tang said: "She is just a child."

Zixu sneered: "Child?"

  Shen Tang: “…”

  Feeling so guilty that I have no words to answer.

No matter what, Zixu refused to go back, and Kang Jishou’s plague power was still at work, so he could only choose to squat in this body. No matter how much he was persuaded, Zixu remained indifferent.

  Shen Tang: “…”

Looking at Zixu's psychological shadow, she didn't dare to think about how Shan Nian could bully these two poor little people behind her back.

 “I’ll teach her a lesson for you later.”

Zixu sneered: "It's good that you didn't get taught a lesson by her."

Don’t forget, good intentions will be killed sooner or later.

 In the past, I was opportunistic and used good thoughts to kill evil thoughts, but now there is no cheat for her to continue to exploit loopholes. Zixu's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Shen Tang, and her entire background became gloomy. Lying down on the nearest tree, his mouth was so deflated that he could hang a coat hook.

　　　My daughter doesn’t shed tears easily, but she hasn’t reached the point where she is sad.

 “Woo, how long will it take for me to go back?”

Zixu said with a weak breath: "Three days."

 “You are here, where is Wuyou?”

"have no idea…"

 Gradually, Zixu's voice could no longer be heard. No matter how much he shouted, there was no sound, so Shen Tang could only give up temporarily. After getting the accurate time from Zixu, her heart that was hanging in the air completely fell to the ground.

 Those three days should be regarded as a holiday for yourself.

Zixu: I would rather die and be bald than go back!
