Ru Yue Shu Yun Feng Wen Wan

Chapter 20 On the Mountain

Tonight, He Ru would again guard the first half of the night, and Yi Fengbai the second. Seeing no one else paying attention, He Ru pulled out her little notebook and began recording contemporary events. She wasn't just recording; she was also listening closely. Whenever anyone approached, she'd flip to the page she'd prepared and read it nonchalantly. She was sure the mistake she'd made with Wu Er wouldn't be discovered again.

She has been secretly learning the characters of this era recently. She can also write calligraphy, but it is not very beautiful. She can just read it, but she has no chance to practice it now.

She still used simplified Chinese characters for her records, which was convenient and kept confidential... well, not really confidential anymore.

She was on guard all night. When her legs became numb from sitting and she was about to go out for a walk, a woman holding a child came to He Ru to ask for food. He Ru was very surprised to see that there was still a child.

Just as she was about to pounce on He Ru, He Ru dodged, and she missed. But He Ru felt confused and dizzy. Then he fell straight down and lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she saw that the room below was packed with people. It was so crowded, so crowded that it seemed like there was no room for another person. She, He Lan, He Yixiu, and everyone else were locked up together. The others were really just locked up, but He Ru, He Lan, and He Yixiu were tied up and hung from the eaves, quite high up.

Not long after, the other two woke up. They were stunned for a moment and then looked at each other without making any sound.

They looked around and found that this was a cell. How could there be a cell here? It seemed that things were not simple.

Seeing that it was still dark and there was no place for him to go down, He Ru felt sleepy and said to the other two, "Let's get some sleep! Keep your strength." He Ru thought they would object, but they just closed their eyes without saying a word.

Just when He Ru was about to fall asleep, in the quiet night, any small movement would be magnified infinitely.

He Ru heard someone talking outside the door in a low voice. It was very quiet. He Ru could only vaguely hear: Everyone is here... don't worry... tomorrow... you can't... leave Youzhou, I understand.

And then nothing happened. After hearing this, He Ru resumed her breathing, as if she had fallen asleep. She had observed the breathing patterns of martial artists after they fell asleep, so no one noticed that she was not asleep.

He heard the creaking sound of a door opening, someone came in, turned around and left again, and then the door closed. He Ru knew that he had left, but there was still no movement.

Two minutes later, I heard the door finally close, and then heard the conversation between the two people: "You watch... I'll go over there..."

This person must be a martial arts expert, because he walked without making any sound, and his breathing was barely audible. His martial arts skills were even better than He Ru's.

But from the way they communicated, it was clear that they were not from Xiqing, so they could only be from Beirong.

He Ru had a clear idea and knew that it was impossible for them to leave Youzhou.

She forced herself to turn off the phone, thinking that Yi Fengbai would notice that she was missing in a few seconds, so she needed to conserve her energy.

He Ru was woken up not long after falling asleep. They were woken up by the people below. They were not surprised why He Ru and the other two were hung up. It seemed that they knew about their arrival last night.

They were talking, but their voices were subdued. That was He Ru's imagination. In reality, they were talking loudly, as if they were arguing, insulting, complaining, while some were jumping for joy. They weren't panicking or afraid, but He Ru and the other two were terrified and impatient.

He Yixiu was puzzled and shouted in despair: "Where is this? Let me down, let me down." His eyes were full of fear.

He Lan acted as if he didn't dare to speak, but his whole body was shaking.

He Ru was impressed by their actor-like acting skills. Then, He Lan gave her a glare that seemed to say, "How stupid!"

He Ru, He Ru didn't want to talk anymore, so she just imagined herself as powerless, cough, over. She just imagined herself as someone who had some abilities, but the other person was very strong, but she couldn't show it, because she had to protect others.

In short, he had a stubborn expression on his face, but a hint of fear in his eyes, a kind of pretentious expression. And his body was trembling slightly, really slightly, the kind that ordinary people couldn't see.

He Ru and Village Chief He had long discovered that someone was following their team for two or three days. They had some understanding of He Ru, so He Ru could not act too exaggerated.

He Ru really admires himself.

A woman who looked better dressed than the others said, "You should be thankful. Down at the foot of the mountain, you had nothing to eat. Now that you still have food to eat, be content!"

A bunch of people around echoed: "Yes, yes!"

At this time, the woman's tone was sour again: "With your skin, I'm afraid you will be able to wear the clothes I wear soon."

He Yixiu asked flatteringly, "Sister, why is that? You are so beautiful and the clothes you wear are so beautiful, why can we wear your clothes? Shouldn't your clothes only be worn by people as beautiful as you? Look, how can we compare with you? I'm afraid we can't even catch up with you even if we flatter you!"

The woman's expression gradually softened: "You still have some sense." After saying that, she looked at He Ru and He Lan. He Lan nodded ingratiatingly, while He Ru acted as if she was amazed by her. There was both amazement and envy in her eyes, but she only nodded slightly, the amplitude was very small, but the woman still saw it.

To be honest, that woman was really stunning among this group of people, with a kind of enchanting beauty.

The woman became even happier. “I’ll just tell you reluctantly! You may be assigned to other places. Someone will bring you clothes to change at night. After you change, someone will come to select you. If you behave well, you can get my clothes.” The more she spoke, the more unhappy she became. She kept silent after she finished speaking.

He Yixiu didn't know what to say anymore, but they would ask other people, otherwise their image would be ruined.

So He Ru spoke: "Sisters, do you know where this is?" No one spoke, and there was silence below.

"Then what do you eat here? We are almost gnawing on tree bark down there. We haven't seen food for a long time. We are really so hungry. Can you tell us?" After saying that, the three of them's stomachs started to growl. They were indeed hungry and thin, and the clothes they wore were rather tattered, but they were much better than those scattered refugees.

Just looking at them, it seemed like they had been here for quite a long time. Their complexions and clothes were much better than those of He Ru and the other two. This showed that this place was really small.

Seeing He Ru and the other two's awkward expressions, someone finally spoke up. It was the same woman from before. "I eat meat and porridge here, while they eat mixed-wheat buns and pickles," she said with a smug look on her face. The others fell silent.
