Despite the bright sunlight, the sky was gloomy. She blinked, thought for a moment, and then her eyes widened: "A military doctor!"
She turned her head, looking left and right, but couldn't see the person who had attacked her.
She really hadn't expected that the skinny old man to have such a strong grip.
Getting up from the cold ground, she found herself lying in a narrow alleyway, with houses and courtyards on both sides.
Why was the military doctor, who had been missing for several days, knocked unconscious after reappearing? And why did she wake up alone in such a place?
Through a low wall about 70 or 80 centimeters high, she heard people crying sadly inside the house, and others cursing—men, women, and children.
Where is this?

This...this is Wind Valley Sand City?!
No way.
That's impossible.
"Women's words are just that—women's. Men always have their own rules and regulations for doing things; how could you possibly understand them?"
"Hahahaha... How utterly ridiculous! If he doesn't speak up for the people, he's unworthy of being a subject!"
The couple argued incessantly, and the child cried incessantly, but Zheng Quchi, with a look of disbelief, ran out of the alley and onto the wide, deserted street.
She looked around blankly, and finally realized where she was.
