Chapter 1212. County Town
Gu Wenheng looked at Jin Qianqian sincerely, "Jin Qianqian, senior is really blaming you this time."
Jin Qianqian said smugly, "Then you have to be nicer to me in the future, and I will make sure I can make you fat."
Gu Wenheng stretched out his hand to pinch her nose, but Jin Qianqian dodged it with disgust, "Don't you feel that we stink now? You should hurry up and clean yourself up."
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "That won't work, everyone is the same, if you suddenly become clean and refreshing, others will still be suspicious.
Just bear with it for a while, and I'll find a solution when we get to the next town."
Jin Qianqian knew that what her senior said made sense. With so many people suffering from hunger and thirst outside, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart either.
He sighed, and soon thought of another question, "We can't always find such a hidden place. Do you want to take out some things and put them outside as a cover? Anyway, no one knows anyone's financial situation."
Gu Wenheng frowned when he thought of the empty bags they had before. "The things you have are too outrageous. Let's wait a little longer."
At the same time, he was thinking that he couldn't just follow the team blindly. All the disasters recorded in history ended tragically. If he didn't want the two of them to be included in this group of people, he had to first break free from this predicament.
However, this matter still needs long-term consideration. Fortunately, they arrived at a not-so-bad time. The escape has just begun, and the truly sinister human nature has not yet appeared. They can still escape from this torrent.
Afraid that the little girl didn't know the dangers here, Gu Wenheng explained it to her in detail, and finally said, "It's best for us to go in and out together in the next few days, and no one should be left alone."
Jin Qianqian had been intimidated by her male god for a long time. Besides, she was not a naive person and had not experienced it, but she could get a glimpse of it from those historical books and movies.
And those few words that the senior just mentioned vaguely made Jin Qianqian even more frightened.
When they panicked, they started looking for things to save their lives. The anti-wolf spray, stun batons, and even the wooden warehouse that they had managed to get in the United States were all placed between them.
As she took out each item, Gu Wenheng took it in his hand and examined it with surprise.
You know, here he is just a useless scholar and farmer. With the Taekwondo he practiced for a few years, he has no confidence if he really confronts the brutal villains.
But it’s different now. With these life-saving things, we always have an extra guarantee.
"It seems that our Qianqian is really a treasure girl. I really found a treasure." Gu Wenheng picked up two bottles of anti-wolf liquid and put one in each of their bags. "Put away the other things first. We don't need them now."
When they finally got back to the resting place, the people on night watch had already looked over here frequently. Seeing the two of them coming back in the dark, they didn't forget to scold them, "Hurry up and rest! We have to travel tomorrow."
As for why the two men had been out for such a long time, they had some guesses in their minds. They looked at each other meaningfully and continued their patrol work.

After traveling for several days, the city wall that Gu Wenheng had been longing for finally appeared before his eyes.
The high walls and the yamen runners guarding there with swords in their hands made these ragged refugees dare only watch from afar.
Several village heads took the lead, holding household registration and travel permits in their hands, and went over carefully to inquire about the news.
Seeing the village heads coming back with heavy faces, everyone felt a pang in their hearts.
"The county has already issued a notice that anyone who wants to enter the county town must pay 100 coins, and we are not allowed to spend the night outside. The officials just now told us to move away and not crowd here." Gu Sanbu shook his head and followed the villagers under his jurisdiction to convey the news he had just received.
"This really doesn't give us a way to survive. At least let us go in to replenish our food and buy some salt. We have no water or food, and if we don't even have salt, how can we have the strength to move forward?" Some families who were not well prepared began to complain.
"But there is some good news," Gu Sanbu said quickly, seeing that everyone was about to get into a tizzy. "There are kind people giving alms outside every morning. Everyone can have a bowl of hot rice porridge tomorrow."
"Really?" Li Cuicui's eyes sparkled as she quickly squeezed to the front. "His third cousin will really have rice porridge to eat tomorrow."
Gu Sanbu said with some hesitation, "Those officers said so, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know tomorrow," Li Cuicui turned and stared at her family, "Wait a minute, everyone, keep your stomachs empty and stop wasting food."
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian exchanged glances, walked to an empty corner and lowered their heads to discuss.
"How much money do you have left?" Jin Qianqian didn't have much hope in her heart. After all, these two people were too poor.
Gu Wenheng fumbled on his belt for a while and took great effort to find three copper coins.
Jin Qianqian opened her mouth wide, "You are the head of the family, and you only have this little stock?"
Gu Wenheng also felt ashamed of his original self. Looking at the three copper coins, he realized for the first time that he was really poor.
"This is none of my business. I am tall, rich and handsome, but I can't bring any assets with me."
When Jin Qianqian saw that he was still standing there erect, she felt for the first time that her idol had such a cute side.
She couldn't even imagine that if they didn't have the magical artifact of space in their hands, the two of them would probably not be able to survive a day.
Sometimes a man's face has to be taken care of, so she quickly stuffed two gold bars into his hands. She bought them at the gold shop just in case.
"I don't have a lot of this stuff in stock, so keep it with you as a backup."
Gu Wenheng grabbed her hand and covered it with his backhand, "Take this thing back quickly. Don't forget our current identities. This thing is too eye-catching."
Jin Qianqian suddenly realized, but she felt a little sad. "The craftsmanship of other gold and silver jewelry is not simple at first glance, and it is even more difficult to take them out. Do we have to let go of this opportunity?"
"Find two small glossy mirrors," Gu Wenheng had already planned this on the way. "Those things are rare to people nowadays, and they are small, so they are easier to sell."
Jin Qianqian, "But we are unfamiliar with this place. If we run into a shady shop, we will be the only ones to suffer."
Gu Wenheng leaned over to whisper in her ear. Jin Qianqian was full of admiration in the end. Looking at Gu Wenheng, she suddenly felt that the biggest advantage she had when she got here was not the space, but the man in front of her.
The two discussed for a while before walking towards Li Cuicui with firm steps.
