I am fish

"Mr. Wen?"

Zhen Wenjun's facial features twitched, and he laughed madly and painfully, no matter what Wei Tingxu called her, she didn't respond.

Wei Tingxu held her hand and did not let go, Zhen Wenjun pushed her back and pushed her out of the car.Wei Tingxu lost his balance and fell from the carriage. Fortunately, the climate in the south is humid and rainy and the vegetation is lush. Unhurt and even stood up quickly.

Not only the people in the carriage, but all the attendants were laughing. The strange laughter of more than 1000 people echoed over Yehuling, surrounding Wei Tingxu.

She found that she was the only one not smiling.

Zhen Wenjun jumped out of the carriage and grabbed Wei Tingxu's neck.

Wei Tingxu immediately leaned back, relieved Zhen Wenjun's strength by falling down, and took the opportunity to turn over and hide aside.She knew that Zhen Wenjun's strength was definitely above hers, and if she was really strangled by her, there would only be a dead end.

"Wenjun, be more sober." Wei Tingxu's waist was aching because of the dodging action just now, and she knew that she might not be able to avoid Zhen Wenjun's next attack.

"Hee hee hee..." Zhen Wenjun was still smiling, his head was covered with sweat, he turned his head around but didn't know where his eyes were looking.

Wei Tingxu knew that he couldn't wake her up.

Ah Liao, Xiao Hua and others, as well as thousands of followers shrugged and lowered their heads, they couldn't tell whether they were crying or laughing, they walked forward slowly and circled Wei Tingxu in the middle.Wei Tingxu supported his lower back, feeling that there seemed to be something on top of his head.

Wei Tingxu raised his head, and a female ghost was hanging upside down on a tree branch. The tips of her long black hair swayed in front of Wei Tingxu's eyes, and her blue face was faintly visible.The blood-red eyes were as big as copper bells, and Wei Tingxu saw himself in these ghost eyes.

A flying bird flew across the sky and made a sharp call. Zhen Wenjun opened his eyes and was covered in cold sweat.

She was still in Yehuling, and fell to the ground at some point, covered in mud and water.

In my memory, there was a lot of chaos, and there were many strange voices.

Zhen Wenjun sat up and looked at her body. Except for the muddy water, there was no external injury. What puzzled her was that the muscles on her face were so sore.What's going on, it's not like fighting with someone and hurting your face.

She stood up while rubbing, the carriage and A Liao's Qingyuan were still there, but the atmosphere was not quite right.

Yelling inwardly, Zhen Wenjun immediately opened the curtains of all the carriages, and there was no one inside.Where did Wei Tingxu go?Ah Liao and all her wives also disappeared.

It was impossible for Wei Tingxu to leave without a word when she was unconscious. What happened?

Zhen Wenjun's mind seemed to be filled with a large ball of cotton soaked in water, and whenever he thought about it, he would get a headache.She galloped through all the carriages, opened the curtains and checked them one by one, but she didn't see Wei Tingxu and the others.

Zhen Wenjun yelled Wei Tingxu's name, yelled and ran away, and then began to pant heavily, with waves of nausea in his chest and a headache.

This feeling is unusual, is intoxicated.

The "hee hee hee" laughter of the entourage who fell on the ground brought Zhen Wenjun's memory back a little. She remembered that the convoy had been spinning around in situ not long after entering Yehuling. The proprietress said that there were ghosts in the forest. It's like a ghost hitting a wall, what next?

...and then something terrible happened to her.

Everyone except her is inexplicably laughing!Both Wei Tingxu and A Liao Xiaohua came up to kill her, so she naturally couldn't do it, so she kept running.While running, she was caught off guard by a ghost hand protruding from the ground, and then she suddenly fell face to the ground, with a ghost head right in front of her eyes, and she fainted from fright.

Could it be that, as the proprietress said, there are ghosts hiding in the wild fox ridge who want to go to Liuhuo country?

That's not right, how could a mere grimace scare her into a faint?She has never believed in ghosts and gods. If there is a ghost face in front of her, she will definitely pinch it with her palm and push her hair to see who is the ghost.

"It's a mushroom."

Zhen Wenjun turned his head and saw Xiaohua standing up with difficulty while supporting the horse, and was also rubbing her face.

"We have all been poisoned by mushrooms." Xiaohua found that not only her face was extremely sour, but also there were dried tears in front of her eyes, and she didn't know if they were tears from laughing.

"Mushrooms? What mushrooms?" Zhen Wenjun had no memory of when he ate mushrooms.

"Last night, I asked the proprietress of the inn to prepare food for everyone. She excused that the inn didn't have enough food, so she got some wild vegetables and mushrooms. Zhong Ji and I used silver needles to detect the poison, and found nothing unusual. Thinking about it now, I'm careless. Some poisons are not life-threatening but can cause hallucinations. It takes a certain amount of time for this kind of poison to appear, and it may not be detected." Xiaohua snorted, "This inn is actually a black shop! The proprietress must have done this a lot This kind of thing can control the amount of poison just right."

Zhen Wenjun finally remembered that she woke up from starvation early this morning and ran to the kitchen to look for food.There was nothing in the kitchen, not even a steamed pancake.Thinking that people like Sudu might not eat steamed cakes at all, they saw that there was still a little soup in the pot, so they scraped it out and ate it.These two mouthfuls of soup were not enough for her hunger, so she ran to the place where the team was stationed and dug out the spare dry food and ate five pieces of hard steamed cakes to fill her stomach.If it wasn't for saving food, she would have knocked down another three yuan.

No, now is not the time to steam cakes.

When Zhen Wenjun went to the kitchen to scrape the bottom of the pot, the sun had not yet risen, and she was so hungry that she only knew that she drank porridge but didn't know what it was.If it wasn't for the fever and belly, she might be able to be vigilant and carefully identify the food she took in, and maybe she would be able to find something strange on the spot.

"Before we set off, the proprietress kindly warned us that there are ghosts in Yehuling, just to bury a fear in our hearts that has a shape and a place to find. Once the toxin occurs, it will correspond to the 'ghost' Illusion." Zhen Wenjun looked around, "The road in Yehu Ridge must have been rebuilt by them long ago. With the thick fog, it is very easy to circle around in place, and it looks like a ghost hitting a wall. He is indeed a veteran robber."

"They didn't do it for robbery." Xiaohua patted the goods on the carriage, "I took a rough look, and there was no shortage of goods, and none of the attendants were in danger of life, but the girl and A Liao and the others disappeared. Why... "Xiao Hua didn't quite understand.

"Could it be human teeth? They specialize in selling women." Zhen Wenjun's reaction was quite sharp.

"If it's a human tooth, why did you leave us?" Xiao Hua asked back.

A voice came from a distance, interjecting into the conversation between the two of them: "Of course it's because you look big and strong, so you can't sell them for a good price."

Zhen Wenjun and Xiaohua saw a person walking in the thick fog, getting closer and closer, and Zhen Wenjun recognized her.

"Axi?" Seeing Axi appear, Zhen Wenjun was overjoyed, "I knew you would definitely come!"

Li Yanyi gave Zhen Wenjun some information about the Wanxiang Road, saying that there was a map in it, but Zhen Wenjun was blinded after reading it for several nights, but he couldn't find the southeast, northwest, let alone the location of the Liuhuo Kingdom from the ghost symbols. .The thing Li Yanyi gave is unreliable, and the ones that are reliable have to be capable people living among the people.

Ash is her best hope.From her words, one can hear her unwillingness, her unwillingness to her own life experience, her unwillingness to her father and Wanxiang Road.She yearns for the road of Wanxiang and the country of Liuhuo, but she is still competing with herself.As long as she can convince herself, she will definitely come.

"I don't want to come either. Who told you to save my life in Northern Xinjiang? I, Zhongshi, are not ungrateful. With your knowledge of the Wanxiang Road, you dare to rush on the road. No matter how many lives you have, it's not enough. Hey, I'm unlucky." Having accepted his fate, let go of the entanglements in his heart and faced his desires, Ah Xi came.

Shaking Zuo Kunda, Zuo Kunda was still laughing non-stop, Zhen Wenjun didn't even use shaking, and finally he regained some consciousness in a trance after pouring a basin of water on his head.

Zhen Wenjun told him to guard the goods and stay here until she came back.

"That shop is a black shop that has been flowing at the entrance of Wanxiang Road. It specializes in kidnapping women from the Central Plains and selling them to the Ancient Rhinoceros Kingdom."

Ah Xi originally wanted to chat with them slowly, but Zhen Wenjun was really worried about Wei Tingxu's safety, so he pulled a few horses and asked Ah Xi to lead the way, and they talked as they walked.

"Specially kidnap women from the Central Plains?" Zhen Wenjun was puzzled.

"It starts with the history of the ancient rhinoceros country." As a half ancient rhinoceros, Axi never went back to this land she hated after Kaimeng, but the blood in her heart was causing trouble. This country is well known, "The ancient rhinoceros country has always valued sons over daughters. Many baby girls were strangled to death or abandoned when they were born. The concept passed down from their ancestors is that men carry on the family line, and the use of women is just a tool for carrying on the lineage. Everyone knows I know very well that no matter how much money is spent and how much thought is spent on raising a daughter, she will eventually be married off and have children for other families. It will be very disadvantageous for the family. It is better not to raise it in the first place. I don’t want to do it. Under this concept, the status of women is getting lower and lower, and there are fewer and fewer people raising daughters. Needless to say, the number of women is definitely declining. Men in the ancient rhinoceros country reached the marriageable age. There are many people who get married. Women in the ancient rhinoceros country have changed from commodities to expensive commodities. Only rich people or nobles can marry wives and have children. Many poor men have never touched a woman in their lives. Even so, they did not want to To improve the status of women, unlike Da Yu, they are a remote small country in the south. They have been huddled in a small country all their lives, not caring about changes in the unexpected world, and only act with brute force. Women are not people but commodities This concept has never changed. When my mother and my father married, they violated the biggest taboo of the ancient rhinoceros country. The men of the ancient rhinoceros country thought that this man from the Central Plains had robbed them of their property, so they robbed them ruthlessly. Come back. After taking it back, I thought my mother was defiled by foreigners, so I killed and sacrificed to heaven. This barbaric nation has not changed until now. The few women in the country can’t satisfy their desires, so they start thinking about foreign women The beautiful and docile Central Plains women are the favorite women of the nobles of the ancient rhinoceros."

"The proprietress tied up the girls and sold them to the nobles of the ancient rhinoceros country?" Speaking of which, Xiaohua understood why she, Zhen Wenjun and her followers were left behind.Needless to say, the followers are all men.She and Zhen Wenjun both have the features of barbarians with high nose and deep eyebrows, they don't look like women from the Central Plains, and they must have been sent to the ancient rhinoceros country, but they couldn't be sold for a good price, and they were actually disgusted by people.

"Yes. From what I learned three years ago, a young woman from the Central Plains can sell a thousand gold in the ancient rhinoceros country. Ordinary ancient rhinoceros people can't even afford women from their own countries, let alone women from the Central Plains. They have only one way to live alone." You can go. The only people who can buy Central Plains girls are nobles." Axi looked at Zhen Wenjun and said, "Beautiful Central Plains girls are the most sought-after. The more beautiful the higher the price."

"They... bought people, what are they going to do?" The more Zhen Wenjun heard it, the more flustered he became, and he didn't dare to think about it.

"What do you think? Naturally, she is a sex slave to give birth to children."

Zhen Wenjun was furious when he heard these two words, his chest almost exploded with anger, and he lashed Xiaoxue's butt with a whip, and Xiaoxue flew out immediately in pain.Xiao Hua was also sweating from the fright, and she didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if the dirtiest thing in the world happened to her own girl... Xiao Hua shook her head violently, and speeded up to catch up.

"Hey, what are you two doing so fast! Do you know how to go without me leading the way?" Axi was not very skilled in riding a horse, so he didn't dare to run hard for fear of falling.

Zhen Wenjun found the car marks on the ground early in the morning.It rains all the year round and the soil is soft, so it is easy to leave traces. Even without Axi, she has enough ability to track people's teeth.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She clearly knew that Wanxiang Road was dangerous, so why did Wei Tingxu really follow her?She should be tougher and drive her back no matter what Wei Tingxu says.Even if Wei Tingxu gets angry, even if she ignores him for two months, what does it matter?Better than being in danger now.

Wei Tingxu has always been active in the territory of Dayu, and there is cover of the Wei family forces in the territory of Dayu, and the activities of the secret guards outside the territory of Dayu are restricted, and she is very likely to encounter danger in an unfamiliar environment.

Zhen Wenjun was extremely remorseful.

As long as Wei Tingxu is found, she will be sent back to Dayu as soon as possible!Never hesitate!

Now I can only let God bless me, and hope that Wei Tingxu can turn the danger into a blessing.

After running for more than an hour, Axi's brains were about to be shaken out, and he finally passed through the wet woods and saw a short city.

I am used to seeing Dayu's sturdy and majestic Dun Bing Jian City, but the city walls of this ancient rhinoceros country were not even built in a straight line.The city wall was only three feet high, and Zhen Wenjun had good eyesight. He saw a few yawning soldiers walking and stopping on the city wall.

Seeing this situation, Zhen Wenjun and Xiaohua, who were hiding behind the tree, wanted to force their way in, but Axi stopped them.

"I know you are in a hurry, but you can't mess up your position because of your anxiety. When the time comes, if the person is not rescued and you get in by yourself, your partner will be completely hopeless." Axi told them to calm down, "Look, we can see this side There don't seem to be many guards on the city wall, because they take turns every hour. Now when the shift is changing, there will be regular guards to replace it immediately, not to mention that there are fifty elite soldiers under the city gate. The weapons of the ancient rhinoceros are backward True, but there are only two of you, can one equal ten but one equal hundreds?"

Zhen Wenjun asked her: "Ah Xi, do you have a clever plan?"

Axi smiled slightly: "You are asking the right person. Look at me, do I look like a barbarian?"

"You are different from the two of us, not like a barbarian."

Ah Xi reached out and patted the backs of Zhen Wenjun and Xiao Hua's heads: "Come out sooner, don't let me get really hurt..."

There are many horses and chariots coming and going at the city gates of the Ancient Rhinoceros Kingdom, and each team of horses and chariots needs to show a pass card when entering the city.Guxi men and women all wore tall white hats and white robes, looking as if they were going to a funeral.

Two men came out of the city on horseback, and when they were about to enter the rainforest corridor, they suddenly heard the cry of a delicate Central Plains woman.

"Help...Help!"

The ancient rhinoceros men were quite sensitive to women from the Central Plains, so they immediately stopped their horses and looked deep into the rainforest.I saw a frail Central Plains woman holding on to the banyan tree, her body teetering on the verge of fainting.They didn't even have time to tie up the horse and quickly ran up to snatch the person, one by the arm and the other by the ankle, wishing to divide the person on the spot.

"I saw it first! I snatched it first!"

"Who said, didn't you see that I hugged her a long time ago!"

"mine!"

"its mine!"

The two quarreled fiercely in the ancient rhinoceros language, completely disregarding the life and death of the woman from the Central Plains, even if she was still alive, it was very likely that they would be dragged to death by them.

Ah Xi was in so much pain that she couldn't pretend to be weak, so she yelled, "Zhen Wenjun! Xiao Hua! What are you waiting for!"

The ancient rhinoceros man said "Huh?", and saw two shadows hanging over their heads.Before they looked up to find out, Zhen Wenjun and Xiao Hua were knocked unconscious by each palm.

"Are you still human!" Axi was teared up, and she angrily scolded the two bastards who took her as a bait and didn't take action in time.

"The most negligent time is when we are most proud, and we are waiting for the best opportunity." Zhen Wenjun apologized to Axi when he took off the robes of the two men, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance, luring the enemy into the deepest The basic thing is to make a show and be real."

Ah Xi just wanted to jump up and blow Zhen Wenjun's head off, even though she jumped up, she might not be able to get it.

Zhen Wenjun and Xiaohua are tall, and the men in the ancient rhinoceros country are generally thinner and thinner than the men in Dayu in the north.Zhen Wenjun put on their clothes just right, and the strong Xiao Hua even wore tights.

Zhen Wenjun originally wanted to cut off their faces and make human leather masks to sneak into the city, but these two ancient rhinoceros men had no grievances with her, so she couldn't do anything by peeling their skins for nothing.Furthermore, Xiaohua is so witty, when she makes a human leather mask in front of her, she must ask where she learned the disguise technique, and then she will have to toss about sophistry.Fortunately, these ancient rhinoceros men are easy to hide with their wide robes and sleeves. Both she and Xiaohua have the appearance of the Hu tribe, and they can be fooled into the city by just putting on casual makeup. The problem is Axi, what should she do.

"Simple." Zhen Wenjun said, "She is our slave, and it is not unusual to take her anywhere."

Xiao Hua gave a "hmm" and agreed.

Ash: "..."

After successfully entering the city with the customs clearance talisman, the guard looked at Axi more, envious of these two men who could possess huge wealth at such a young age.This Central Plains woman should be able to sell for a good price.

Axi didn't care about the sticky eyes of the guards, she listened carefully to what the ancient rhinoceros were talking about.It is true that her mother is an ancient rhinoceros person, but she has no memory of her mother at all. Her father is a learned person, and he has traveled to many places and knows many languages. The ancient rhinoceros language is the language he communicates with his wife.Ah Xi spoke ancient rhinoceros well when she was a child, and she forgot a lot of it after her father left for so many years, and now it is a bit difficult to listen to it, but she can understand the general meaning.

"It turns out that today is their biggest slave trade day every two months. All the rare Central Plains slaves will be displayed, and the nobles will bid to buy them.

"Hmph, slave." Zhen Wenjun's teeth were itching with hatred when she heard that, she saw that all the men in the ancient rhinoceros country were dressed decently and all were riding horses, with women from the Central Plains tied behind the horses.From the clothes, it can be seen who is rich and who is poor. The more gorgeously dressed the Central Plains women are, the younger and more beautiful they are. They are the evidence for the ancient rhinoceros men to show off their wealth and family background.A circle of iron chains is tied around the necks of these women, so that they can slow down when the horse walks slowly, and if the man whips his whip to run, they have to follow desperately, otherwise they will be pulled to the ground.

Zhen Wenjun couldn't believe that there was such a bad nation in the world, compared with that of Da Yu's women, they were doing well.

She must never let Wei Tingxu fall into such a country!

Whether it is watching the excitement or sitting in a gorgeous carriage and looking like aristocrats, all of them are looking forward to the same direction. Axi said that they will all go to a market called "Xuanguan", where slaves from the Central Plains will be displayed. .Zhen Wenjun and Xiao Hua tried their best to hold their breath and followed the crowd to Xuanguan.When you arrive at the market, you will immediately know why it is called "suspended customs".

As soon as they arrived at the market, they saw a row of huge wooden cages falling from the sky, and inside the cages were tied three Central Plains women with their heads bowed.The cage lowered slowly, before landing on the platform.The platform is divided into three areas, and the people sitting in each area are all well-dressed men.

"They are all nobles of the ancient rhinoceros." Axi said, "Look at the hats of these people. Although they are all white cloth caps, the gems inlaid in front of the hats can show their identities. The ancient rhinoceros kingdom has no emperor and no King, there are only three nobles who dislike each other and want to eradicate dissidents. These three nobles have been fighting each other for more than a hundred years, and no one has been able to unify the small ancient rhinoceros country. They are fighting to the death everywhere, Even slaves are going to be robbed. It seems that they are here to rob people again today."

Axi was right. After several rounds, the nobles raised each other's prices, always wanting to overwhelm each other.However, Zhen Wenjun found that the two families inlaid with green stone and sapphire were keen to fight each other, while the family with ruby ​​seemed to be waiting for something and kept silent.

"It's the last round, and the 'treasures' are coming out." Ah Xi heard the master of ceremonies call out.

The wooden frame of the last round slowly came down, and as expected by Zhen Wenjun, Wei Tingxu was among them.

Wei Tingxu was the only one in the wooden shelf.

Seeing that she was still wearing his own clothes, Zhen Wenjun's heart was about to drop, and suddenly he found a blood scab on the corner of her mouth.

Wei Tingxu sat on his knees in the cage, his hands were chained in front of his body and connected to the bottom of the cage.The fair to shiny face made the wound on her face more obvious, and the wound was like a plum in the snow.

She straightened her back without anger and prestige, she didn't look like a commodity waiting to be sold, but instead looked like a king visiting the world, inspecting everyone.

Everyone present stared straight at him, attracted by this Central Plains woman.Zhen Wenjun raised his sword and wanted to kill him, Xiaohua was also furious.Axi was frightened by them, and desperately held them.

"With so many guards, do you want to die! Calm down!"
