Zhao Xiangrong's eyes widened. This voice!!!
It was the Hun who had helped her before.
First I heard the surprise in the voice, then I noticed what the man said.
Zhao Xiangrong himself didn't know what he was doing. He suddenly turned over, pressed the man down, and used his body to cover the man's face.
By the time Zhao Xiangrong reacted, his whole face turned red.
Oh my God, she was so intimate with a strange man.
How could she do such a thing?
It must be because I have been on the grassland for too long, and I have become much more bold and unrestrained without realizing it.
Zhao Xiangrong was worried that the man would have wild thoughts, so she explained shyly:
"I, I was trying to cover for you."
A man's voice came from my ear: "I know."
Several Xiongnu soldiers came over and saw two people being affectionate on the grassland. One of them was a woman from the Central Plains. The Xiongnu soldiers laughed and walked away: "You know what, this batch is different from the ones sent before."
"What's the difference?"
"I heard from the seniors that those women in the past were desperate and wanted to escape every day. But this group of women are not afraid. They even take the initiative to seduce some young generals. I guess they want to be noticed and live a more comfortable life."
"It should be distributed in a few days, right? Do you think our captain can get one..."
Although the women in the Central Plains have not yet been specifically allocated, this kind of thing is too common and there is nothing surprising about it.
Therefore, the Hun soldiers did not look closely and dispersed to look for the suspicious man on the grassland.
After the Xiongnu soldiers left, Zhao Xiangrong got up from the ground and said, "Well, I didn't mean to go into the tent to hook up with someone..."
“…”

In Lingnan, the most dangerous thing is not people, but the natural environment.
Once, Chen Wei and Xiaoying accidentally entered a miasma area and inhaled a lot of miasma. Xiaoying foamed at the mouth and fell down on the spot.
Chen Wei gritted his teeth and brought Xiaoying out of the miasma forest. He tore open her clothes and the small silver bills hidden inside fell out.
This was specially sewn by Xiaoying before leaving. She sewed the silver bills inside her thick clothes, which helped her avoid being robbed by bandits along the way.
Chen Wei took Xiaoying, who had escaped a near-death experience, to the town to find a doctor for treatment. Fortunately, the doctor was a kind man and did not have any prejudice against them because of their identity as women.
"Girl, you... you have a very good physique. You have inhaled a lot of miasma, and you can even bring people out of the miasma forest."
The doctor was surprised that Chen Wei was only slightly unwell.
An ordinary person would have died long ago if he were infected by the miasma, but the girl in front of him only looked a little paler and weaker.
Chen Wei explained: "Maybe it's because my father was also a doctor in the past. He always asked me to test his medicine, so my body has antibodies."
The doctor stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing with Chen Wei's words.
Xiaoying felt better after a day's rest. Chen Wei originally wanted to go to Jigong Mountain by himself and leave Xiaoying to rest in the clinic.
But Xiaoying insisted on going together, so Chen Wei had no choice but to agree.
Before leaving, Chen Wei told Xiaoying again and again.
"Xiaoying, you can't be so stubborn this time. If you feel unwell, you must tell me."
"I don't want to lose you after losing Xiaoman."
“The sweet potato vine is important, but you are just as important.”
Xiaoying smiled at Chen Wei: "Don't worry, I know what to do!"
"I will definitely not cause you any trouble."
Chen Wei shook his head: "It's not a matter of causing trouble, I'm just worried about you."
"Okay, let's get going."
The two of them no longer pretended to be old ladies, but instead put on scholar's clothes that were washed white and had many patches on them. From a distance, they looked like two pedantic scholars who were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat.
A few days later, the two stood at the foot of Jigong Mountain.
Looking up, you can't see the top of the mountain as it is covered by fog. You can only vaguely see a peak similar to a chicken's neck looming in the fog.
The two waited until noon, when the fog had almost dissipated, before they began to search in the mountains.
As soon as you enter the mountain, a familiar smell hits you.
Chen Wei and Xiaoying ran without saying a word, and only sat down limply on a rock after they had escaped the miasma far away.
For the next few days, the two men settled down at the foot of Jigong Mountain. They would go into the mountain to search at noon when the temperature was highest, and they would come out in the evening, regardless of whether they found anything or not.
The miasma at night is even more terrifying, almost covering the entire Jigong Mountain and preventing any living creature from entering.
The two men didn't dare to eat the animals in the mountains and could only fill their stomachs with wild vegetables.
It was another day when the fog was about to dissipate. Chen Wei and Xiaoying went into the mountains again. This time they needed to go deeper to look for it. They had searched everywhere outside but still couldn't find the centipede.
"Chen Wei, something seems wrong... Is the ground sinking?"
The two were not far apart. Chen Wei heard Xiaoying's voice and ran over to see. He saw that Xiaoying's lower body had already sunk in.
Xiaoying seemed to realize that she was being dragged down, so she tried to climb up anxiously, but the more she moved, the faster the ground beneath her feet sank, as if someone was pulling her legs hard from below.
Even someone as strong as Xiaoying was frightened to the point of turning pale and her lips trembling.
"The water ghost is pulling my leg!!!"
Shen Wei shouted loudly:
"Do not move!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Wei's face turned pale with fright.
Xiaoying was stunned. It was the first time she heard Chen Wei's panicked voice.
Her trust in Chen Wei had reached the point where she didn't need to use her brain, she just needed Chen Wei to speak, and her body would subconsciously obey Chen Wei's words.
After Xiaoying stopped moving, her sinking movement slowed down a little.
"Chen Wei, is there a water ghost..."
As Chen Wei explained, he looked around for a tree fork.
"This is a swamp. The more it moves, the faster and deeper it sinks."
"That's why I told you not to move. This is my first time encountering a swamp. I've only seen descriptions of swamps and self-rescue in books before."
"First, don't move your lower body. Move your upper body to increase the contact area between your body and the mud."
"Only by distributing your entire body weight can you reduce your sinking speed. You can't let your entire body weight rest on your feet. That won't work."
Xiaoying took a deep breath, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, suppressing the fear in her heart, and chose to slowly move her body towards the quagmire.
At this moment, she was extremely frightened.
But she chose to believe Chen Wei. If the book was wrong, then she believed that Chen Wei would take good care of her two children.
It seemed as if half a century had passed.
Her body just touched the quagmire, and unlike what she had expected, the quagmire did not swallow her whole, but seemed to stop flowing.
