under the field

Scarlett

I spent the night calming down, trying not to let myself become a stupid woman in history who lost sleep because of men. (From Brianna's lady quotes) Before going out, I took a special look at the closed door at the end of the corridor, and comforted myself as if nothing happened last night.

I went downstairs to the lobby, and breakfast was already set on the table.The outermost table is a table of men who also stayed in the hotel, speaking Uyghur from the north.Ignoring their scrutiny, I walked over to our table.Except for Colin, everyone else was already having breakfast.

I sat down next to Otis, and he looked at me suspiciously, "Did you steal chickens last night?" sleep disorder."

"Shut up and eat," I replied, taking the bun from Shay.

"There seem to be wolves in this mountain. I heard it last night. I couldn't sleep because of the noise." Nigel said, and said seriously: "I heard that the wolves in the north are particularly fierce."

Someone passed by and bumped into my arm. I turned around and saw a tall man with a beard and a pointed chin.Seeing me turn around, he smiled and said sorry to me, his expression was a little flirtatious and insincere.I didn't pay attention to him, turned my head back and continued to eat, and saw him go outside and sit down with a table full of men.

"Before we set off from here, we may need to collect some supplies. Below the hillside is the market in the suburban town. I saw it yesterday, and we can buy some dried beef..." Jamie counted the supplies we had left.

"I want to go down and have a look." I said.Xie Yi immediately raised his hand: "Then my sister and I will go together."

"Bring me a bottle of wine." Nigel asked, looking at Otis: "You go too. They are so unreliable."

"He's not very reliable!"

Suddenly some loud laughter erupted from the table behind, as if on purpose to get our attention.I didn't pay attention to what they said at first, but they began to look here frequently, obviously facing me, saying some foul language.

Our table started to quiet down, and I caught a glimpse of some bad looks on their faces.Shay was about to stand up excitedly, and I immediately pressed his shoulders and comforted him, "I'm fine." When I was away from home, I understood some people's disrespect for women, and learned to selectively pretend to be deaf and dumb, and we The identities of a group of people are sensitive, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.

They talked louder and louder, and I heard them start to arrange the relationship between me and the men at this table, and then discuss my movements of peeling the buns and walking posture.Noticing that the faces of the men in front of me became ugly, I quickly looked at Jamie, who was the safest, hoping that he could calm down and comfort other people together.

At this moment, Colin walked in from the outside, and he walked directly behind the bearded man who spoke the loudest, grabbed his hair and slammed it on the table, making a loud knock.This movement was like a signal of acquiescence. The man next to me couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed forward, joining Colin and starting to fight with them.

In the early morning, the tranquility of the hotel was instantly broken, and the battle turned fierce. The lobby was immediately filled with fist and muscle collisions and all kinds of foul language. Shift positions.

……

Dr. Knight is really foresighted. For walking with Jacob and his group of rough guys on the road, he handed over to our team to prepare all kinds of supplies in the medicine box. He also specially taught me how to deal with fights in the medical hall. Trauma from a fight.At this moment, the big men who were still charging forward just now are sitting on the bench like a mess of bereaved dogs, allowing me to check them one by one.

I was so angry that I didn't get angry when they arranged me, but when I saw the bruises and swollen faces, I got angry, but I quickly calmed myself down, because these men came for me. Those who fought and were injured also sought justice for me.

Shay howled in pain as I pressed the tampon on his chin, and I relented.Then he checked them one by one, Nigel talking non-stop, and Jamie yelling about their heroic exploits in their youth.Otis said to me heartbroken, "Little Scar, we are all for you. Why do you look gloating?" I smiled and pressed his arm, and he immediately grinned in pain.

When I walked up to Colin, he still lowered his black head.I cocked his jaw, saw the conspicuous bruise on his cheekbones, and laughed.He glanced over faintly, he didn't look like he was leading the charge just now, the one sitting in front of me looked like a wronged puppy, shrugging his head.I stretched out my hand and pressed hard on the bruise on purpose, and he grabbed my hand with a hiss.Like a hooligan molesting a good woman, I looked left and right at his chin, and finally said happily, "Fortunately, the jaw is not dislocated."

A woman came in with something in her hand. Seeing me look over, she explained, "I apologize for my partner. I think you should use this." I took the trauma plaster and looked at it. After looking at it, he gave it back to her, "We don't need it."

She looked behind me unwillingly, and I realized she was looking at Colin. "Then... are you all right? Why don't I treat you to dinner as compensation." Seeing Colin looking over, she immediately passed me and walked in front of him, "My name is Jess."

He nodded casually, then looked at me with a displeased frown, pointing at his face to imply that I hadn't given him the medicine yet.Jess immediately opened the medicine box in his hand to wipe it for him, but he moved his body back slightly to avoid it.

I deliberately ignored his gaze, turned to the table, took out the gauze from inside, walked back to Otis, and asked him to raise his arm. "Oh, Scar, you have a problem." Otis leaned over and whispered with a look of embarrassment on his face. When I exerted force on my hand, he immediately begged for mercy.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jess approaching Colin, and that stare that couldn't be ignored was still on me, and I ignored it.After bandaging, "Then, let me go to the market."

Otis offered to go with me, and the rest stayed at the hotel.

As we rode down the hill, Otis wondered at my silence, then said startlingly, "Did you have a fight with Colin?" before denying himself, "It doesn't look like that."

I kind of regret bringing out the talkative Otis, it's better to bring an honest Shay and a quiet Jamie than his raging gossip soul. "Colin's temper is really not good sometimes, and his words are annoying. Don't worry about him, but Xiao Scar..." He suddenly looked at me closely, "But he is handsome! Don't get angry with the handsome guy. "

I couldn't help laughing, seeing me like this, he sighed like an old man and said, "That's right." I looked at him, "Do you like Colin?"

Now he was not calm, and stared at me with hurt eyes: "Xiao Scar, I am really sad when you say that. What made you question the most standard straight man in this land? Is it because of sleep disorders? of!"

I ignored his bitterness, and thought that even Anna didn't like him like this, so I asked him curiously: "Then what type do you like?"

"Mature, confident, mysterious and cold," he replied.

I shook my head, "That's really strange, men also have this type?" He rushed forward to hit me.

When we wandered to the market at the foot of the mountain, we realized that there are really many people here.Otis said from the side, "Colin is the only Jacob who has the highest reward, and his portrait is posted everywhere. Many people in the New Sierre area know him, so it is his safe activity area. But the north is close The imperial palace also means that officers and soldiers are becoming more and more rampant, so the Jacob gang here is very scattered, or even not many."

This is the first time I've seen Colin's wanted poster, and it's clearly not from the same portrait painter as me.I recognized him the first time I saw those eyebrows and eyes. The notice on the wooden board only introduced him as Jacob Colin, one of the leaders of the traitors, who was being hunted by royal officers and soldiers, and marked with a bounty 4000 lbs.I silently looked at the word 'Traitor' in the dark, and felt sorry for him.

To save time.Otis and I decided to split up.When I entered the center of the street, I pulled up my cloak and covered my head, and walked slowly among the crowd, leading Ollie.It is very lively here, making people mistakenly think that there is some carnival celebrating, and every stall is crowded with people.When I left the busy area with supplies, I saw several corpses abandoned under straw mats in a dark and smelly alley.

At first I thought they were just homeless people sleeping on the ground, but when the wild dogs came up to nibble on their bodies, they didn't respond.Starve to death or freeze to death?I can't think about it.My heart was cold, Colin said that I have never seen how the people at the bottom fight for a piece of bread, but I just happened to meet it today.

Two children as big as peas surrounded a little girl, who was holding half a black object in her hand. They pushed her to the ground, pressed her hand, and stepped on her sagging stomach with one of their feet. superior.

"Hey!" Hearing my yelling, they ran away in a hurry, not caring about snatching the things from the girl.I squatted down next to her and realized that it was a piece of stinky cheese. "Here," I handed her the cake on horseback, and she took it with her hand and ran away.

I squatted on the ground, smelling the rotten smell in the alley, and turned my head to look at the bustling market, only to realize that the noise there seemed to have nothing to do with the darkness here.A man and a woman are leaning against the wall of the alley to make love. The woman's legs are twisted around the man's waist. Next to their legs is a straw mat that covers the dead body. Whether there are shoes on the exposed feet is not a matter of their knowledge. concern.

I turned to leave, and I heard them still panting heavily, and the woman said in a shrill voice, "If I go back with you, I will add 20 pounds more, sir."

Ollie and I are like tourists passing through this scene. No one knows that we have been here, nor does it matter if we spy something, or it may not matter to them.
