Scratching his itchy neck, Zheng Quchi felt that his hair was full of fallen ash, which was very uncomfortable.
She hesitated for a moment, then peeked out from behind the curtain again. It was still quiet, and no one was around.
If you move quickly, there shouldn't be any major problems.
So she untied her hair, which was wrapped in a cloth and tied into a bun, and immediately a cloud of dust fell from her head, like black snow.
She quickly took off her thick outer coat and then her newly bought wool vest, leaving her in only a thin undershirt.
Wearing too many clothes would be cumbersome and might get wet. Given her current living conditions, she was destined to make do with being undressed and unable to change into a clean new set of clothes.
She wet her hair with water and then tried to comb it with her fingers, but it was too difficult. Her fluffy curly hair was the easiest to get tangled. It took her some effort to straighten it with water, and then she casually tied it into a low ponytail at the back of her head.
Then he bent over and splashed water to wash his neck and collarbone area.
She's been eating well lately, and with her easygoing nature, she's naturally gained weight and is no longer as flat as a man's.
However, if you accidentally touch it, it will cause a bit of swelling and pain.
hiss!
Forget it, it hurts too much.
She thought that she had been wearing that thing down there for a long time and hadn't paid much attention to it, so she might as well wash it.
Zheng Quchi bent down, scooped up some water with her hands, and concentrated on washing herself. She was unaware that her shadow was being faithfully projected onto the curtain.
Everything she did was seen clearly, like a shadowy picture where the characters' faces were obscured.
However, due to the misaligned movements in the images, some misunderstandings inevitably arise.
"Damn it, where did this scoundrel come from? Get your ass out here! You're broke, so you come here to act like a thug!"
Three or five burly men walked over, presumably to wash themselves. When they were dumbfounded to see what lewd things the person behind the curtain was doing, they flew into a rage.
Zheng Quchi froze, instantly turning into a tiny quail.
Her eyes widened. "Liar! Didn't you say no one would come?"
Seeing the other party approaching menacingly, he raised his hand to lift the curtain.
Zheng Quchi looked at his thinly dressed appearance, and without thinking twice, grabbed the thick clothes he had taken off and covered his head with them, then rushed out like a running black mouse.
As long as she runs fast enough, no one can catch her!
Sure enough, the burly men only felt a black gust of wind sweep past them, and when they came to their senses, their eyes could no longer follow the other person's back.
"I just..."
"like……"
They looked at each other, then said uncertainly, "We saw a woman?!"
Zheng Quchi ran a hundred meters in one breath, and because he was afraid of being recognized, he did not take off the clothes wrapped around his head.
She intended to find a secluded spot to quickly put on her clothes, but unexpectedly, in her panic, she bumped into someone.
She was petite, and when they bumped into each other, the other person remained perfectly steady, while she was left seeing stars and feeling dizzy.
Once she stood still, her first instinct was to slip away as quickly as possible, but—
She noticed the countless black shadows looming over her feet, and her palms broke out in a cold sweat. Heaven knows how many people were in front of her.
The world around us froze.
She gripped her clothes tighter and pulled them down even harder, as if afraid of exposing a patch of skin.
When she came here before, there was no one on this street. How come the whole world came out to see her after she made a fool of herself?
Who are these people?
She was screaming inside.
The person who was hit was clearly not short; his tall figure completely enveloped her, looking down at her from above.
The group of tough soldiers following him all gasped and stared blankly, including Wei Yao, who was dressed in formal light armor.
Where did this woman come from on the dark street?!
She was just unlucky. There are many paths to take, but she just happened to run into their general. According to their general's usual habits, she would definitely be torn to pieces by his sword!
Why is it so quiet?
If they saw a woman dressed in thin clothes with her head wrapped in a cloth running wildly in the street in the middle of the night, wouldn't they be completely curious and ask her any questions?
If it were her, she absolutely couldn't control her gossipy nature.
So, who exactly were the unlucky people she bumped into?
Zheng Quchi's heart pounded like an ostrich. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and yanked the clothes off her head, revealing a pair of alert yet innocent dog eyes.
Just as she was about to investigate, regardless of whether what she encountered were people or ghosts, she knew she had to face them eventually.
But the next second, a cold wind swept across her pupils, and a heavy cloak, still warm, gently covered her shoulders.
When Zheng Quchi, who was shivering from the cold, was completely enveloped in warmth, she stared blankly at the pitch blackness in front of her.
"..." She was wrapped up?!
"Close your eyes."
Upon hearing the gentle, elegant sound like a dulcimer, Zheng Quchi was immediately astonished and delighted.
"Liu...Liu Fengmian?!"
She was quite surprised and wanted to see him, but she was completely covered by the cloak and couldn't see his face.
At this moment, Yuwen Sheng turned his deep eyes, and the army behind him immediately felt a chill, held their breath, and closed their eyes tightly in unison.
Although they cannot speak or see anything further, their minds are racing with thoughts.
Good heavens, what did they just see?
Has the general changed? He's actually showing mercy to the woman who dared to get close to him!
