Chapter 35
"There is a forest ahead. I wonder if there are any wild mushrooms in it?"

After eating dry food for three days, Lu Zhaozhao felt that her legs were almost weak.

Not just from inactivity, but also from malnutrition.

When Dugu Fan heard this, his eyes fell on her slightly pale face, and Ying Ting frowned slightly.

"Let's go! I will take you to have a look!" As he spoke, Dugu Fan took the lead and walked towards the woods not far away.

Lu Zhaozhao hurriedly followed up.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

……

As soon as they entered the woods, they met guards in twos and threes collecting firewood.

Dugufan nodded to them and led Lu Zhaozhao deeper into the woods.

however……

After walking for a while, Lu Zhaozhao didn't see any edible wild mushrooms except for some wild flowers and weeds.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

No!

She just wants to improve the food a little bit. Is it so difficult?
"Shh!"

Dugufan suddenly made a silencing gesture to Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao took the step he just raised and then silently took it back.

Dugufan bent down, picked up the pebbles at his feet, and threw them to his left hand.

There was only a muffled sound of 'bang', and a gray figure was knocked away by the pebbles.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

This force may be able to penetrate someone's head directly!
While she was thinking wildly, Dugu Fan stepped forward and lifted the gray figure back.

"Rabbit!" Lu Zhaozhao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw what was in his hand.

Looks like I won’t have to eat the cake later!

"There should be more than one rabbit around here. You stay here while I go inside and take a look!" Dugufan threw the rabbit at her feet, turned around, and walked deeper into the forest.

Lu Zhaozhao kicked the rabbit, which had no movement at all, and couldn't help but sigh again at his skill.

Two quarters of an hour later...

Dugufan returned with two rabbits and four pheasants.

When he saw the pile of firewood she had picked up, a smile flashed across his eyes.

"So diligent?"

"That's right!" Lu Zhaozhao raised his face arrogantly.

That look obviously seems to be saying, do you think I am a freeloader?

The smile in Dugufan's eyes deepened, and he kicked the rabbit on the ground: "Pick it up, let's go back!"

"What about firewood?" Lu Zhaozhao asked.

"I will ask someone to come and get it later!" Dugu Fan said.

"Okay!" Lu Zhaozhao responded, picked up the rabbit at his feet, and followed him toward the woods.

Returning to the motorcade, Dugufan handed over the rabbits and pheasants to the guards.

"Would you like to go back to the car and rest for a while? I will call you when dinner is served!" Dugufan asked.

Lu Zhaozhao shook his head: "I'd better move around down there!"

Otherwise, I don’t know how many days it will have to wait until next time when I can move around freely.

Hearing this, Dugufan said nothing more and turned around to check whether the items tied up on the carriage were loose.

Lu Zhaozhao saw a guard inserting fish by the river and walked over curiously.

As soon as he got close, he saw a guard stabbing a palm-sized fish quickly and accurately, and there were several fish of about the same size thrown on the shore.

"It seems that tonight, not only can we have a full meal, but we can also eat a lot of food!"

"There are chickens, fish, and rabbits, so there are plenty of them!" "Then you should eat more later!"

……

The guards were joking and working hard at inserting fish.

After a while, a few more fish were thrown to the shore.

"thump!"

There was a sudden sound of people falling into the river, causing everyone to look around.

"If you insert a fish, you can insert yourself into the water. You won't insert your own feet, right?" Seeing him getting up from the water unharmed, the guards laughed.

"Am I that stupid?" Wei Shi wiped the water from his face: "I obviously tripped and fell!"

"The water isn't too deep, you could trip over it, and you still say you're not stupid?" The guards burst into laughter again.

Wei Shi looked at the water that only reached his knees. He turned around and looked at the place where he had just tripped. With just one glance, he was so frightened that he jumped up: "There are corpses, there are corpses!"

The smiles on the faces of the guards suddenly froze.

After half an hour...

The guards moved the body tied with stones to the shore, then looked at the fish that was also thrown on the shore, and couldn't help but fell into collective silence.

"There are stones tied to the corpse. It is obviously a homicide!" Chang Ze looked at the corpse: "Based on the degree of decay of the corpse, the time of death may not be short!"

"I remember, this is under the jurisdiction of Minfeng County. Please go to the county office!" Dugufan ordered.

"Yes!" Chang Ze responded, turned and left.

"Don't just sit here and do whatever you need to do!" Dugufan said in a deep voice.

When the guards heard this, they immediately dispersed.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing her staring at the corpse without moving, Dugu Fan asked.

Lu Zhaozhao frowned: "I was thinking, how deep is the hatred and hatred to kill a person and then sink his body into the river?"

"It's difficult to generalize about things in the world. Maybe they do have a deep hatred, or maybe the murderer is just plain evil!" Dugufan opened his thin lips and said softly: "In short, the sky net is vast and sparse, and the mistakes made will one day be revealed. repay!"

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on him: "I hope so!"

"Let's go! Don't stand here, it's time to eat later!" Dugufan turned around and walked towards the fire.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao's lips twitched slightly.

Is it inappropriate to mention the word 'eating' here?
Soon...

The aroma of roasted rabbit and roasted chicken gradually spread.

But facing the corpse not far away, everyone's appetite was obviously not too high.

"Here!" Dugufan tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao took it but didn't move.

Because she suddenly felt...

At this time, eating dry food is more appetizing!
"Go to the car and eat!" Dugufan signaled.

Lu Zhaozhao shook his head.

The image just now is engraved in my mind, so it doesn't make much difference whether I eat here or in the car.

"Then eat less!" Dugu Fan also tore a chicken leg for himself, and then handed the chicken to the guard: "If you really can't eat it, don't force it!"

"Yeah!" Lu Zhaozhao nodded, looked at the chicken drumstick in his hand, opened his mouth, and took a bite.

The entrance is delicious and chewy.

"When you arrive in Lingnan, you will see more corpses soaked in water than less. Therefore, please be very alert to me!" Dugu Fan glanced at the guards with a sharp gaze: "Eat all meat." Clean, no leftovers allowed!”

"Yes!" All the guards responded in unison, lowered their heads, and gnawed the meat in their hands.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Although what he said is true, at least he should give everyone a suitable time!

After they had eaten and drank enough, cleaned the battlefield, and were preparing to rest, Chang Zecai hurried back with the magistrate of Minfeng County and a group of government officials.

"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty!" County Magistrate Qian Xun hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
