Quick travel: the life of smuggling is so exciting

Let’s put the original owner’s memories aside for now. The most urgent thing is to find a place to rest in the shade and plan the next itinerary.

In any case, Lin Xia would never chase after the original owner's village. It would be fine if there was nothing wrong with that village normally, but if there was something wrong, it would be the biggest source of danger.

Lin Xia squinted her eyes and looked at the sun. It was probably noon. She knew that it was not a wise decision to rush on the road, but sitting here was a dead end. Apart from anything else, her ability to endure pain was top-notch.

Although this body was very weak, it was still better than the one in the previous life. It was younger and had stronger recovery ability. After drinking some water and eating some bread, I felt much more relaxed. However, the high fever in my body had not completely subsided, and my head was still dizzy.

Lin Xia stood up with the help of the tree, broke off a stick of suitable thickness with both hands, and pounded it on the ground.

"Well, it's pretty strong." Lin Xia muttered to himself.

In this way, Lin Xia staggered and walked south with firm belief.

I took a break every ten steps, and when I was really thirsty, I took a sip of water to moisten my lips. After walking for about two hours, I finally saw a yellow mud house in the distance.

Lin Xia's condition at this time was not very good. His face was pale, his lips were purple, cracked and bleeding, beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, his vision was black, and the house in the distance seemed to be moving, twisting its body constantly.

Lin Xia urgently needed to rest, so she stopped to catch her breath, took a deep breath, and continued walking towards the dilapidated house.

When I got closer, I found that it was a small dilapidated temple. There was a wooden door on the outside that was half about to fall down, the roof was half collapsed, and there were some colorful paintings on the wall that had not completely faded.

There were a few rotten pieces of wood and a pile of straw in the house, and there were signs of life on the ground. It was obvious that someone had rested here recently. She guessed that it was a refugee passing by to escape famine.

Lin Xia walked into the dilapidated temple, patted the straw with a stick, and found nothing unusual, so he sat down. He lay there in a daze for more than ten minutes before he came to his senses.

Only after supporting himself and leaning against the wall did he have the energy to think about what to do next. The original owner had no idea about national affairs and didn't even know the current emperor's surname.

All we know is that the country is called Dajing and this year is the 39th year of Qing'an. That means this emperor has been in power for 39 years and is not young anymore.

Lin Xia dug out from the depths of his memory that the Zhou Mansion was beheaded three years ago. Because General Zhou had great prestige and was hailed as the God of War and Protector by the people of Dajing, the beheading of the General Mansion for treason caused a great sensation. Many people even knelt down and begged for mercy, but it still failed to prevent the Zhou Mansion from declining.

Lin Xia thought to himself, no wonder, the world only knows General Zhou, but doesn't know which family the emperor is from. The Zhou family is popular and has great military power. No matter how loyal such a person is, the superiors will be wary and want to eliminate him.

Since the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the Hu people in the north began to invade frequently, but no large-scale war broke out.

Lin Xia guessed that the weather had been good in the past few years, and the Hu people were not short of food for the time being. They had been testing the strength of the new defenders in recent years.

Lin Xia remembered that the background story introduced by System Jiujiu said that natural disasters occurred frequently.

It is reasonable to guess that this drought and locust plague started and it will not end so soon.

It also said that the Hu people invaded the south and the world was in chaos.

At present, the Hu people have not yet reached the point of invading the south. There must be more than one factor causing the chaos in the world. Maybe the old emperor is about to die, and once he dies, the people above him will start fighting for power and recruiting soldiers.

War and natural disasters force the lower-class people to suffer, which gives the male and female protagonists a reasonable chance to revolt.

The more Lin Xia analyzed, the more anxious he became. He didn't know what would happen next. This place was still too close to the north. Once the north was breached, he would only be cannon fodder.

She must rush to Lingzhou as soon as possible and stay at the heroine's base camp, which is safe and not affected by the drought.

Although I thought so, I am still weak, so I will rest here for one night and plan to set off officially tomorrow.

I was so hungry that I couldn't help but eat half of the pancake.

The taste of the pancake is hard to describe. It is rough and has a sour smell. It is the most unpalatable thing Lin Xia has eaten in the past ten years, even worse than medicine.

That's it. You have to keep it well and not eat it all at once.

Lin Xia looked at his thin body. He didn't even have a weapon. How could he do it with only a stick? It was too dangerous.

After she recovered, she walked out of the ruined temple and wandered around. There were a lot of rubble around, and her target was these stones.

She needed a sharp stone to make a stone knife. No matter how effective it was, as a weak woman alone, having a weapon would always make her feel more at ease.

After searching for a long time without finding a suitable one, Lin Xia found a stone and broke it into a stone blade, then sharpened it on other stones.

Still sharp.

Lin Xia went back satisfied.

She put the stone knife and stick aside, lay down and fell asleep. She was so tired.

In the middle of the night, a thin figure huddled in the corner.

At this moment, her brows furrowed slightly, feeling a little uneasy, as if danger was coming, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

A figure suddenly stood in front of him, with greedy eyes flashing in the darkness. At this moment, he was about to reach out to Lin Xia with both hands. It seemed that he did not expect Lin Xia to wake up, and was a little dazed for a moment.

Plop... plop...

Lin Xia's heart was beating wildly, and the only sound she could hear in her eardrums was her own heartbeat.

But he still reacted very quickly, stretched out his leg and kicked, picked up the stick at hand and swung it up.

Unfortunately, the killing power was really limited, and it didn't cause any harm to the opponent, so he could only run sideways.

The other party was hit by a stick and rushed forward with a curse. Without waiting for Lin Xia to run away, he grabbed Lin Xia and threw her heavily to the ground.

Lin Xia's tailbone hurt from the fall and she couldn't help but groan. The difference in physical strength between men and women was fully reflected at this moment.

Hearing Lin Xia's voice, the other party immediately became excited.

"I didn't expect it to be a young woman!" The man laughed obscenely, and was about to come up and pull Lin Xia's clothes.

Lin Xia calmed down at this time and remembered that he had placed a stone knife next to him.

She stared at the man, retreating towards the straw pile while calmly groping for the stone knife.

Seeing Lin Xia's weak appearance, the man let down his guard and walked forward in a wretched manner.

It's now!

With his left hand, he grabbed a handful of ashes from the ground and threw them into the man's eyes.

"Ah~ you bitch! I'm going to kill you!" The man covered his eyes and roared in pain.

Before the man could react, Lin Xia immediately got up and slashed the man's neck with her right hand.

puff!

Blood splattered, and Lin Xia felt a warm and wet feeling on her face. Although she couldn't see clearly, it seemed as if everything in front of her was blood red.

Huh, Huh...

The man covered his neck tightly, making a loud noise, his eyes wide open, and slowly fell backwards, his body still twitching.

Lin Xia's hand holding the stone knife trembled slightly, and his fingers exerted force. His fingertips turned white in the moonlight, without a trace of blood.

She gasped for breath, her grip loosened, and the blood-stained stone knife fell to the ground before she reacted.

She killed someone...

A feeling of nausea rose in his throat, and Lin Xia immediately ran out of the dilapidated temple gate, holding onto the wall and retching. There was no food in his stomach, only some sour water that came out.

She kept telling herself in her heart to stay calm, that she was not wrong, that he was the first to attack, and that he deserved to die.

After repeating this several times, Lin Xia calmed down and wanted to escape immediately. She had not yet mastered the ability to stay in the same room with a corpse, and she didn't even dare to check to see if he was dead.

Thinking of this, he stumbled forward, but after running ten meters, Lin Xia stopped and suddenly looked back at the dark and dilapidated temple that looked like a man-eating monster.

There was a confusion in his eyes, then he became determined.

She turned around and went back to the dilapidated temple and walked in.
