Chapter 915 ·Sentinel

After such a big battle, it was actually a monkey in the end.

Wu Jie was so angry that he picked up a few stones from the ground and placed them beside him, "If the monkeys dare to scream, I will kill them!"

Shang Junzhuo smiled and said, "It's okay, go to bed."

Wu Jie fell asleep quickly, but Shang Junzhuo and Bai Rongxuan lost their sleepiness. The two of them snuggled up to them, and although they did not speak, they could clearly hear each other's breathing.

After a long time, Bai Rongxuan asked softly, "Sister Jun Zhuo, what are you thinking?"

"Am I?" Shang Junzhuo said, "I thought nothing, my head was empty."

"Oh." Bai Rongxuan nodded, "I thought you were thinking of brother."

Shang Junzhuo was stunned. After a long time, he said, "Some people don't have to think about it all the time. He is always in his heart. He can't even throw it away, and he can't forget it."

Can't forget...

Bai Rongxuan sighed softly.

Shang Junzhuo said, "Do you think I am ruthless?"

"No." Bai Rongxuan said softly, "I know you are caring about your brother in your heart, but you just don't want to say it. There are some things you really don't need to say, and those who should understand will naturally understand it."

The two of them talked, and only heard the birds living in the forest making a few low sounds from time to time. Not long after, Shang Junzhuo was sleepy and leaned against Bai Rongxuan and fell asleep.

The next day, the three of them continued to rush. Unexpectedly, halfway through the way, they saw an old man with white hair lying on the side of the road. Shang Junzhuo hurriedly stepped forward to check and saw that it was an old woman in rags, with a very weak breath. Shang Junzhuo quickly helped her up. After a long time, the old woman woke up slowly and started crying. She cried while fumbled around, obviously her eyes were blind.

Shang Junzhuo hurriedly said, "Old lady, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

The old woman cried even louder when she heard the sound, "How can these turtles who kill thousands of swords be left alone?"

Shang Junzhuo looked puzzled and asked the reason.

The old woman cried for a while and said thrustly, "My family lives in a village not far ahead. My son is a short-lived ghost. He left his wife and grandson to live with me. Yesterday, a group of bandits came to the village, and not only ransacked all the valuable things, but also took away all the food for the winter. Not only that, all the women in the village were arrested, and my miserable daughter-in-law was taken away by them. I am an old woman who can't see anything. How can I live in the future? My daughter-in-law..."

After all, she was old and couldn't get up in one breath while crying, so she fainted.

Shang Junzhuo quickly pressed the Renzhong acupoint and helped to relieve his anger on his chest. The old woman finally woke up and grabbed Shang Junzhuo's hand and said, "Child, have you seen bandits on the way you came?"

Shang Junzhuo shook his head, "I haven't seen it."

The old woman nodded, "Yes, you shouldn't be old. If you meet those bastards who have been killed by thousands of swords, will you still come over safely? You have to be careful. If you are hit by a bandit, it's all."

Shang Junzhuo agreed and thanked her again. The old woman got up from the ground and was about to move forward with a stick.

Shang Junzhuo asked her where she was going, and the old woman said, "I can't let that miserable daughter-in-law fall into the devil's cave alone. She has always been timid, so she must be scared now. I have to go find her, even if we die, we must die together."

But her eyes were blind and she had difficulty walking. When would she have to walk to catch up with those bandits?

Shang Junzhuo couldn't bear it and was about to persuade him, but the old woman left without looking back.

Shang Junzhuo sighed, "This damn bandit is simply inhumane! If it is not dealt with, I still don't know how many innocent people will be destroyed in their hands."

Bai Rongxuan sat under the shade of the tree beside her, watching the old woman rushing forward with difficulty, and called Wu Jie with heartache and instructed, "You chase after her and give her some money. Since you meet it, it's fate. Although you can't help much, it's still a heart."

Wu Jie said, "Miss Xuan, if there are too many people like her, can you help them all? I think it's better to forget it, let alone the world is so chaotic now that she has money on her, so she is afraid it's even more dangerous."

Shang Junzhuo heard this and said, "Then give her some dry food, just to think it's all his heart."

Wu Jie didn't say anything more, took out two steamed buns from the bag and chased them.

The three continued to go on the road carefully and deliberately avoided the village where the old woman lived. However, in this way, the three missed their place to stay and could only rest in a deserted inn. When Nanjing was called Jinling in the early years, it was famous all over the country because of its abundant silk embroidery. The emperor issued an order to build Jiangning weaving. The cloth needed by nobles in the harem was collected by the palace here, and the inn was needed to travel to the capital, providing temporary resting places for passing fast horses. However, since the imperial power overturned, the inn was unattended and was now in ruins.

But there is no better place at the moment. Shang Junzhuo said, "I can only feel wronged. After this period of the road, it will be much easier to walk ahead."

Bai Rongxuan said, "It's not that you want to live here forever. Just stay overnight for the time being, there's nothing to choose."

Everyone had to rest after eating dry food, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside. Wu Jie immediately stood up, "Who is it?"

The people outside obviously didn't expect that there was someone in this dilapidated inn, and they were also shocked, "I was on the way late at night and wanted to rest here for a night, but I didn't expect that someone would leave now..."

Before he finished speaking, another man's voice sounded, "What are you leaving? Where can I stay after I pass here? I'm so tired that I want to leave. I want to have a sleep here!" As he said that, someone walked in from outside, not tall, with a rat face, looking very vulgar.

He stretched his neck and looked inward. After seeing that there were only three people on Bai Rongxuan's side, he immediately relaxed and waved his hand behind him, "Come in, come in, it's okay, there are only three people inside, the place is very big."

After his call, four men came in from behind soon, with different heights, fatness and thinness, but their eyes were not very calm. Everyone looked in the direction where Bai Rongxuan was. Seeing that not only had three people, but also two young people were thin and small, the rest was a woman, I didn't care much about it.

Bai Rongxuan glanced at Shang Junzhuo with some anxiety.

Shang Junzhuo also felt abnormal.

So late...what important thing is to risk your journey to the night?

Shang Junzhuo smiled slightly at Bai Rongxuan and told her not to worry, but she quietly pulled the stick that was originally placed aside to her hand.

As soon as the group entered the door, they were busy cooking, and even asked Bai Rongxuan if they wanted to eat together. There was no malice on the surface.

Bai Rongxuan shook her head and refused.

The group of people didn't rush to sleep after dinner, but instead got together and started jokes while drinking. Through their conversation, Shang Junzhuo learned that these people were also temporarily together and didn't know each other in the past, so they walked with each other because they were all going to Nanjing.

Shang Junzhuo gradually relaxed his vigilance and was not as nervous as before.

She was already sleepy and soon fell asleep leaning against the wall. I don’t know how long it took, Shang Junzhuo, who was sleeping, felt a hand gently caressing her. At first she thought it was her own hallucination, but the hands became more and more bold and actually touched her chest tentatively.

Shang Junzhuo immediately opened his eyes and happened to meet the vulgar rat face in front of him.

Shang Junzhuo was startled and shouted, "What are you doing?"

The rat-faced man laughed and walked forward with a drunken mouth, "What kind of pretending? You squeezed together to sleep with two men in the middle of the night. What kind of good thing can you do? Come on, let me lie next to you for a while. I haven't touched a woman for a while, and I'm just thinking about it..."

Shang Junzhuo raised his leg and kicked the unprepared man in front of him, threw him far away and couldn't get up for a long time.

After such a fuss, the people in the inn woke up one after another. Bai Rongxuan asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
