"Mrs. Cui?" Hearing this familiar surname, Lu Yunxi's eyes inadvertently swept across the woman's face.
She actually had some doubts, was this Mrs. Cui the mother of Cui Shishi?
The eyes are so similar!
but……
The eyes are very similar, but other parts of her face don’t resemble Cui Shishi at all. Most importantly, this face doesn’t look like the one in the portrait at all!
If one person doesn’t look alike, then the other person won’t look alike either, right?
Lu Yunxi's gaze turned inadvertently and swept towards the face of the little girl who was supporting the woman.
The other girl from the Cui family also doesn’t match the portrait!
She paused, but didn't ask any more questions. She just smiled, said goodbye to the two of them, and went to meet up with Shen San.
…
It took almost a day for Lu Yunxi and Shen Sancai to walk through the entire town.
"There are quite a few people in Beizhen. I'm almost exhausted after walking for a whole day." Shen San took out a large can of water from his backpack and drank it with his head tilted back. "Master, I haven't found anyone related here. How about you?"
Lu Yunxi was also feeling a bit dizzy, frowning and supporting her head: "I do have someone named Cui here, but looking at their appearance, they don't look much like the drawings."
Beizhen is very desolate. The ground is either covered with grass or dry yellow soil. There are not many trees. As you go further south, almost to Wuzhou, you will see more trees.
So after arriving in Beizhen, the two felt that the temperature was much higher and the wind and sand were strong, which made people feel hot and uncomfortable.
If Lu Yunxi and Chen San had not been strong enough, they would have probably fainted on the ground like the beggars on the street.
The master and disciple were too lazy to pay attention to the dust on the ground. They sat down and leaned against the wall to take a nap.
……etc!
beggar?!
Lu Yunxi suddenly opened his eyes.
She pushed Shen San, who was drowsy beside her, and lowered her voice: "Didn't they say there were no beggars in Beizhen? What's going on?"
Thinking of how violent the people in Beizhen were, her eyes rolled and became more suspicious.
Lu Yunxi and Shen San looked at each other and carefully approached the beggar who was lying on the ground in a mess.
“Master, let me help him.” Shen San immediately put her behind him, helped the man up, and leaned him against the wall.
He carefully parted the man's hair.
Lu Yunxi looked at the man's face and realized something was wrong.
The man's face was covered in black dust, making him look grimy, but somewhere on his neck, the dust seemed to have been rubbed off, revealing his fair skin. Don't be fooled by the tattered clothes. If you look closely, you will find that they are made of high-quality material, which is not something that ordinary people can buy.
Lu Yunxi's expression condensed slightly. After confirming that the man fainted because he was too tired, he felt relieved and gave Shen San a wink without leaving a trace.
Shen San nodded slightly, turned his head and looked at the fainted person: "Wake up! Wake up!"
His voice was so loud that the neighbors started yelling when they heard it:
"Who the hell is yelling here?! Don't you know others need to sleep?!"
"What are you arguing about?! Get away from me! Don't bother me!"
There was constant shouting and cursing.
Lu Yunxi looked at the setting sun and exchanged glances with Shen San.
Shen San carried the beggar on his back and left Beizhen. He didn't put him down until they were far away.
*
The aroma of grilled fish spread in the air, and the crackling sound of burning firewood was unusually obvious in the silent night sky.
The man lying on the stone blinked and got up tiredly.
"Are you awake? We saw you fainted on the road, so we gave you some water." Lu Yunxi looked at the dazed man and smiled faintly. "Luckily, you're lucky enough to wake up."
The man took a deep breath and said gratefully, "Thank you both for saving my life. Where are you going? If you need any help, please feel free to contact me."
Lu Yunxi's eyes flashed: "Get down!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen San fell down almost instantly, but the person who had just woken up did not react so quickly.
When he came to his senses, three arrows were already approaching his face.
His face turned pale with fright in an instant.
Seeing this, Lu Yunxi had no choice but to pick up the fire poker and wave it quickly several times to block the arrows.
"Who is it?!" she said in a cold tone.
"The one who wants to kill you!" A hoarse voice suddenly appeared, scaring the newcomer.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black holding long knives surrounded them.
Lu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, not knowing whether they were coming for him or the person they rescued.
While she was looking around, Shen San had already dealt with all the people on the opposite side.
The man was like a stone, frozen for a long time before he barely recovered. He patted his chest and gasped for breath. "It was so scary! When those people came out just now, I thought I was dead!"
After saying that, he looked puzzled again: "Benefactor, do you know who that is?"
Lu Yunxi and Shen San looked at each other.
"We don't know either. Maybe it's a bandit?" she said casually. "Let's get out of here quickly, before his accomplices come along!"
The group randomly picked a direction and started running wildly.
However, just like before, he was assassinated and poisoned along the way.
After several times, Lu Yunxi and Chen San were still not annoyed, but the beggar they rescued fell ill because he was very thin and had been fleeing for a long time and was stressed.
