Luo Shixing paused when he heard this, looked up at Wei Siwen and asked, "Cheng Jingwei? Is he the orphan of General Cheng Wuting?"

Wei Siwen was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and asked the little official next to him in dialect. The little official made gestures and explained a lot, Wei Siwen turned to look at Luo Shixing and said, "Indeed, he was also exiled here, why? You know him?"

Luo Shixing didn't tell Wei Siwen about Master Yuan Ke, but said: "I heard that, Wei Weng, can I go and see him? When I was in Beijing, I heard that General Cheng was here for Prime Minister Pei Yan and my father. Pleading for mercy is considered a crime, and I can't just let Cheng Jingwei go regardless of emotion or reason."

Wei Siwen exchanged a few more words with the clerk, then turned around and said, "I'll go with you after dinner."

Luo Shixing said quickly: "Don't bother Wei Weng, just tell me the place, I'll go there myself."

Wei Siwen said with a smile: "That will have to wait until evening. He is currently doing hard labor and has not returned yet."

Luo Shixing paused after hearing this, and felt a little strange. General Cheng's youngest son should not be illiterate. In the case of Beidai county magistrate, he should be able to read and write. Moreover, General Cheng was considered a high-ranking and powerful person before. It should be quite understandable.

Why did this man go to hard labor instead?

Luo Shixing asked curiously, "Then what did he do?"

Wei Siwen was distracted while writing and said, "Collecting herbs."

After his explanation, Luo Shixing realized that there was no arable land in Beidai County!

People here don't farm!

After hearing this, Luo Shixing felt it was a pity. The climate here is humid, which is very suitable for the growth of crops. How could he not cultivate the land?

Since they don't farm land, people here don't care much about roads and other infrastructure, so hard labor doesn't do these things, so Cheng Jingwei was sent to collect herbs.

Yes, take herbs.

Because of the climate, the rainforest here is very dense, suitable for the growth of plants and naturally suitable for the growth of medicinal materials.

The largest source of income in Beidai County is the medicinal material produced here - Panax notoginseng.

As the so-called northern ginseng and southern notoginseng, the quality of the notoginseng here is excellent, and its effect is comparable to that of ginseng.

It's just that collecting herbs is also a very hard work, and sometimes you may not be able to pick a few plants after a busy day.

If Luo Shixing hadn't been in the spotlight, he would also have to go gather medicine.

After hearing this, Luo Shixing couldn't help but rejoice that he really couldn't do the work of a herb collector.

By the evening, less than half of the paperwork that needs to be submitted has been sorted out.

The little official wanted to go home for dinner. After he left, Wei Siwen and Luo Shixing put down their pens, all with serious faces.

Luo Shixing asked, "Weng Wei, what shall we eat?"

Yesterday, they still had some pancakes they had brought with them on the way to barely satisfy their hunger, but now... they basically have nothing left.

The county magistrate exempted them from hard labor, but he didn't say that he would take care of their food, so they had to solve the food problem by themselves.

Wei Siwen was also a little embarrassed and worried. He thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are a lot of fungi here. People here don't farm the land and don't lack food. Otherwise, let's look for it."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing asked, "Do you know each other?"

Wei Siwen was silent, and Luo Shixing's scalp was numb: "This can't be eaten casually, in case something poisonous..."

Red umbrellas, white poles, let's lie down together after eating.

With their identities, they probably didn't even have boards, so they might have been thrown up the mountain and buried on the spot.

Although Wei Siwen has also learned martial arts and has a good physique, he still feels a little headache when faced with such a situation.

Luo Shixing got up and said, "Let's go out and have a look, and take a look at Cheng Jingwei by the way. He came earlier than us, and he must have his own way to survive until now. Maybe he knows something."

Well, I found another reason, so I don't need to expose Master Yuan Ke's instructions.

It was mainly because Master Yuan Ke was nagging, and people these days trust such metaphysics, and he was worried that it would bring trouble to Cheng Jingwei.

As for himself... he had enough troubles, and he didn't care about that.

Wei Siwen made sense when he heard it, but he seemed to be over half a century old, and now he still had to count on a child, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Luo Shixing said thoughtfully: "Weng Wei, I can't understand the people here, please take me there."

At least he gave Wei Siwen a step down, Wei Siwen got up and took Luo Shixing's hand and said, "Let's go."

It's not hard to find the place where Cheng Jingwei lives, just like what Luo Shixing had guessed before, it's the most remote, dilapidated place with little sunshine and no one to visit.

And there is indeed only a small straw shed to keep out the rain, and it can't even protect it from the wind.

Cheng Jingwei who was supposed to have come back when they passed was not here.

Wei Siwen felt strange, so he asked someone to ask.

Although he said that the people here rejected the Han Chinese, the fact that Wei Siwen took Luo Shixing to work for the county magistrate had already been gossiped by the residents here.

Wei Siwen had a refined temperament and a well-rounded appearance, and Luo Shixing was even more charming and charming. As long as he was a person, he would have more patience with good-looking people and things, so he answered.

Wei Siwen said: "Cheng Jingwei went out to gather medicine with some local young gentlemen, but most of those young gentlemen came back, but he didn't come back. This kid..."

Luo Shixing asked: "Did they go far? Let's go and see if it's not far away."

Wei Siwen asked a few more questions, and the man answered in a good-tempered manner.

Because the other party's attitude was a bit indifferent, but at least he had said all he had to say, so Luo Shixing gave him a big smile.

After the man saw Luo Shixing's smiling face, his expression softened a lot.

Wei Siwen said, "It's not far, let's go."

Luo Shixing looked at him again, and felt that Wei Siwen was a rare and good person.

He had his own reasons for going to find Cheng Jingwei, and he really wanted to know why Yuan Keshi paid attention to Cheng Jingwei, but Wei Siwen's finding someone was purely voluntary labor.

Wei Siwen and Luo Shixing entered the mountain with one foot deep and one shallow foot.

It is not difficult to enter the mountain here. After all, the entire county is at the foot of the mountain, and the houses are built according to the mountain. The people here rely on the mountain to eat the mountain and have already walked out of the mountain road.

Wei Siwen and Luo Shixing didn't go far when they heard shouting, because it was in the local dialect, Luo Shixing didn't hear anything, but Wei Siwen's face darkened after hearing it and said: "Mr. Cheng is in trouble."

He could hear that those people were cursing, and what they were cursing were insulting words to the Han people. Wei Siwen took Luo Shixing's hand and walked all the way, and from a distance he saw a man punching and kicking a young boy on the ground, and the man on the ground moved He didn't move, and he didn't know if he had lost consciousness.

Wei Siwen yelled loudly, and the other party looked back at them, curled his lips in contempt, ignored them and continued to violence.

Luo Shixing was also taken aback, and asked, "Is that Cheng Jingwei?"

Wei Siwen frowned. The local man didn't look tall, but he was muscular and young. He wasn't sure he could beat him, but he couldn't watch Cheng Jingwei being bullied like this.

So he stepped forward, ready to explain it with reason first, and then move with emotion, if it still doesn't work, then talk about it.

In the end, before he could think about what to say to the other party, he felt that his hands were empty, and when he turned his head, he found that Luo Shixing squatted on the ground and picked up a stone and hid it behind his back. Then he walked over and stretched out his hand to grab the other party.

After the man turned his head and saw Luo Shixing, his hands relaxed.

Most of the people here have dark skin. He has never seen a fair-skinned and beautiful child like Luo Shixing, so he couldn't help but want to take a second look.

Luo Shixing couldn't speak the local dialect, so he pointed to the people on the ground and waved his hands, signaling for mercy.

Unexpectedly, that person became tough again, pushed him and muttered something.

Luo Shixing staggered for a while, and saw that the man lifted his foot and stepped on Cheng Jingwei's right leg very hard. Cheng Jingwei, who was lying on the ground, was motionless at first, but his body twitched again when he stepped down.

Luo Shixing was suddenly angry. Since he was a child, he has never been absent from his sense of justice. When he saw injustice, he would not only help each other once or twice, but even helped the police catch suspects and thieves several times.

This means that after passing through, he didn't understand the situation, restrained his nature, and besides, he didn't encounter any injustice that made him feel that he had to take action.

Now he couldn't help it anymore, no matter what Cheng Jingwei did, it was too much for the other party to be so unreasonable.

What's more, with Wei Siwen's previous explanation, he felt that it might not be a big deal, maybe it was because of this person's xenophobic nature.

So Luo Shixing showed the stone he had hidden before, jumped up and smashed it on the other person's forehead.

Before Wei Siwen had time to react, he watched helplessly as Liswen's cute little gentleman jumped up like a little jumping bean and patted the man on the ground.

The man obviously had no defense against Luo Shixing, so he didn't block the shot. Luo Shixing used all his strength again, so he wobbled and fell on his back - fainted.

Luo Shixing waited for him to fall, and kicked him by the way, threw the stone to the side and clapped his hands in a very social manner: "You don't eat the toast, you eat the fine wine."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Cheng Jingwei who was lying on the ground, squatted down and asked loudly, "Are you okay? Can you hear me?"

It is said that when a person speaks in a low voice when he is unconscious, the other party cannot hear clearly, so Luo Shixing's loud voice scared away a few birds on the surrounding trees.

The people on the ground moved slightly, Wei Siwen also reacted at this moment, ran over quickly and stretched out his hand to gently touch Cheng Jingwei's body.

Most of the literati these days are proficient in medical theory. After touching it, they said: "It should not hurt the inner government."

"Who is...?" The voice of the person on the ground was hoarse, but what he said was indeed elegant.

After confirming his identity, Luo Shixing carefully stretched out his hand to help him up and leaned against him and said, "Are you okay?"

At this time, there was also a trace of blood on Cheng Jingwei's forehead. Luo Shixing gently brushed his messy hair away. Wei Siwen took a look and said, "Skin trauma."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Jingwei, who had closed his eyes just now, suddenly opened them.

Luo Shixing was startled by him.

It's not because the other party opened his eyes, but because of the other party's eyes.

He couldn't think of any adjectives to describe those eyes, but he felt that although they were beautiful, they were too cold and full of pressure.

This sense of oppression is simply not something a teenager can have!

At this time, Cheng Jingwei only felt a splitting headache, not only his head, but also his whole body, especially his right leg.

He hadn't felt such pain for many years, and he wanted the attendant to call the doctor over, but when he opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong.

He who was supposed to be in the dormitory was not only deep in the wilderness, but there was also a very beautiful but also very strange child looking at him with concern.
