Chapter Thirty-Four: Walking into a Trap



Xu Yuehuai, on the other hand, didn't care at all.

Once everything was arranged, she and Ah Qi went to a distant place.

"We need to find a way to infiltrate the military camp. You're too young, so you can just stay outside and keep watch."

"They need Boy Scouts too."

"What do they need you to do?" Xu Yuehuai found it strange; he really had a wild imagination. "They have too much food to eat, so they need you to eat it?"

Ah Qi smiled, but it was a bitter smile. "During the war, the soldiers of the Imperial Capital Dragon Tiger Camp would send us boy scouts to test the traps."

Xu Yuehuai's expression immediately changed.

“I have this too.” Ah Qi took out a box.

In fact, Ah Qi carried a leather box the whole way.

At first, Xu Yuehuai thought there was food or toys inside, but Aqi said, "This was left by my mother and father. There's a human skin mask inside. You just need to use this to change your appearance. You can pretend to be a man and go inside to spy on information. What do you think?"

To be honest, Xu Yuehuai was very interested in Aqi's parents.

Who are his parents? How could they raise such a child who is so adept at interpersonal relationships and exceptionally intelligent in social life?

Good heavens, you know Ah Qi is just a child.

"You know how to use it?"

"I saw my mother use it before, so I'll give it a try. It's probably pretty much the same as what I've seen before," Ah Qi said with a confident smile.

This human skin mask is amazing; it surpasses current makeup techniques.

As Ah Qi pondered, he worked on Xu Yuehuai's appearance for a long, long time before finally transforming her. Ah Qi clapped his hands and said, "You look like a stinky man. Look at your beard, hahaha."

Seeing the little guy laughing so hard he was doubled over, Xu Yuehuai leaned closer to the pond and looked inside.

I realized that I had indeed become a scruffy, smelly man.

Just then, a woman passed by and stared at the two of them curiously.

Xu Yuehuai used his skills from Daqing Oilfield to touch his lips and whistle at the girl. In that instant, the girl stumbled and immediately called her husband over. She pointed at Xu Yuehuai.

"It was him. He flirted with me and even looked at me from there."

The girl protected her chest.

It turned out that the girl's husband was also a real coward. Seeing that Xu Yuehuai was not tall but had a fierce face, he was naturally terrified and hurriedly retreated, pulling the girl away.

"Honey, are you afraid of him?"

“I was afraid I’d kill him. You can’t believe how small he is…”

"..."

Xu Yuehuai had already stood up at this moment.

She used the remaining money to buy men's clothes before swaggering over to the ruins to harass Zhou Wan. Zhou Wan was furious and grabbed a brick to throw at her.

Seeing that the disguise was so perfect, Xu Yuehuai then took Aqi to the place where Jiang Mingfu had gone missing.

I could see several government officials from a distance.

According to Xu Yuehuai's logic, she needed to go over and find a starting point, such as asking the other party about recruitment. However, before she even got close, a fierce-looking soldier walked over with his weapon in hand.

"Hey, we're hiring. Room and board included, good salary. Want to try it?"

"I'm considering it, but I also have a child. Do you need him too?"

The officer looked him up and down, then shook his head.

But when their gaze returned to Xu Yuehuai, they saw a clear naiveté and anxious anticipation in her eyes. "What can he do?"

“He has been hardworking since he was a child. He works just as hard as us. Sigh,” Xu Yuehuai said, patting Aqi’s head affectionately. “Poor thing, he couldn’t afford to go to school, and this is what happened to him.”

The man glanced at Ah Qi.

"Great strength?"

Ah Qi stepped forward and punched the man in the stomach, and the man immediately clutched his stomach.

"Oh, you're the one! You're not only strong, you're also brave. You're the one."

Ah Qi, as Xu Yuehuai's burden, successfully joined Xu Yuehuai's family.

In the afternoon, the two ate the meal that the constables had prepared for them. The constables asked a few questions, and when Xu Yuehuai clearly told them that there was no one else in her family besides herself and the little guy Aqi, the group of people immediately exchanged glances.

Haha, a soft persimmon, a truly soft persimmon.

Before nightfall, they were tied up, gagged, and thrown into a carriage.

Xu Yuehuai had no idea where the destination was.

In the darkness of night, the carriage traversed mountains and valleys, and Xu Yuehuai couldn't remember much.

Ah Qi, on the other hand, was small and stood by the window looking out, his eyes deep and complex.

"Ah Qi, are you alright?"

For Xu Yuehuai, spitting out the filth stuck in her mouth was an easy task.

She immediately spoke with Ah Qi.

Ah Qi said, "We've gone through so many twists and turns, where are we going? If we keep going, I won't be able to remember."

"Do you have such a good memory?"

"Hahaha."

Clearly, Ah Qi and Xu Yuehuai were neither worried nor afraid.

The carriage continued its journey.

We sped along and finally arrived at our destination.

Before they even stopped, Xu Yuehuai heard painful groans, wails, and someone's indistinct laughter in the night.

He was hurling insults at the group of laborers, "Now that you're in Caishijiang, do you still want to go back? What are you? Here you're treated like livestock. Eat? What are you going to eat? You've only done so much work and you already want to be eaten?"

After the constable finished his roar, he grabbed his riding whip and began to reprimand the crowd.

Several men screamed.

Some people were already being tortured to the point of near death, but the constables still threw the baskets to them, and the people left with great difficulty.

A blurry outline in the distance.

Xu Yuehuai was surprised, astonished, and confused.

"Sir, where is this place? I want to go back, I want to go back!"

"This place...this is Caishijiang. Once you're here, you'll never have a chance to leave unless you die." The constable said coldly.

"Get to work, what are you daydreaming about?"

Tools were dropped over there.

The two looked at each other, and could only silently pick up the tools.

The movement was slightly delayed, and the vicious whip came flying at them.

This brute force nearly caused Xu Yuehuai to suffer a cut. She turned around and glared fiercely at the constable, "What's your name?"

He must remember the name of the tyrant and traitor.

I'll definitely kill them tomorrow.

"My name is Dong Chao, so what? What good does it do you to know my name?"

"Not very good." Xu Yuehuai picked up the bamboo basket and began to fill it with ore.

The baskets were heavy, and after only a few trips back and forth, I was already exhausted, panting and feeling dizzy.

Dinner was cabbage soup.

The group sat on the field and began to eat.

The meager and pitiful food seemed to mock everyone's fate. Xu Yuehuai picked up some food, but there was only a small piece of cabbage in a bowl of soup. If you arrived late, you might not even get a single cornbread.
