After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 174 What will be the reward for handing it over to the Nanman Army?

The Uighurs have always been on good terms with the Southern Barbarians, and the two of them were wearing Dazhou clothes, so they couldn't let anyone discover them.

But it was too late to turn around at this time, and the door in front of him opened with a creak from the inside.

The person who opened the door was an old woman who looked kind and kind.

She looked up and down at their clothes with more scrutiny.

Lin Gongxun had a flattering look on his face and said "Ahhhh" in his mouth, then turned around to let the old woman look at Yu Jia on his back.

Lin Gongxun understood the Uighur language but could not speak it, so he could only pretend to be mute.

Seeing the wary look on the old woman's face, Lin Gongxun had no choice but to put Yu Jia on the ground. He straightened his messy clothes and bowed with his hands.

Then he gestured that the two of them were refugees and had come to escape.

"Are you southern barbarians?"

Although Lin Gongxun didn't know why the old lady asked, he had no other choice, so he nodded.

Suddenly, an old voice sounded, "Old woman, who is calling the door?"

The old woman turned around and shouted into the house, "Old man, these are two Nanmans."

Lin Gongxun's heart was beating fast, and he raised his eyes to look at the old woman.

At this time, the old woman had a relieved smile on her face.

"Although you are wearing Da Zhou's clothes, that girl is holding a Nanman scimitar."

The old woman was a little proud when she talked about this, she was quite knowledgeable.

"Why can't people from the Zhou Dynasty use scimitars?" The old man came over and was about to drive them away.

The old woman stopped him, "If you are a Zhou person and it's too late to hate the Nanman, how can you use the Nanman's scimitar?"

The old man's movements stagnated for a moment, and there was some truth to it.

Lin Gongxun hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and gestured with his hands that they were Nanman people and servants who had escaped from a wealthy Nanman family.

Because he wanted to avoid being chased by his master, he changed into Zhou's clothes.

While gesticulating like this, Lin Gongxun was afraid that the two of them would give up, so he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the old woman, and then pointed at Yu Jia on the ground.

Now that they were finally able to get in, the old woman led the two of them into the house and asked them to change into clean clothes.

The clothes Yu Jia was wearing belonged to the old lady. Although they were a bit too short, they didn't matter.

It's just that Lin Gongxun is tall and looks nondescript in the old man's clothes.

He pulled the sleeves that only reached his elbows, looking awkward.

When Lin Erzhu woke up and saw himself dressed like this, he didn't know how he would laugh at himself.

The old woman boiled herbal medicine in the yard, and after a while, the smell of medicine filled the air.

Lin Gongxun was a little suspicious. He gestured and asked the old woman, would these medicines work?
The old woman wiped the sweat from her face and said, "Young man, don't worry. The old woman will take care of you and give you a lively little girl."

Lin Gongxun looked around and saw that in this barren mountain, he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse!

Fortunately, this herbal medicine really works. Yu Jia woke up within an hour after drinking the medicinal soup.

Seeing her looking at the environment in the room, Lin Gongxun winked at her.

Yu Jia looked at the clothes on her body, and then at Lin Gongxun's clothes. She had seen similar styles on the ship where the Nanman fled back to Dazhou.

Lin Gongxun gestured and held her hand, and Yu Jia understood instantly.

The Uighurs and the Nanman have a close relationship. It would be okay if the old couple knew that they were from the Zhou Dynasty.

She didn't know any Uighur language, so she just pretended to be mute and said "Aba Aba!"

Lin Gongxun's hand trembled, and Yu Jia's hand also trembled.

Yu Jia saw "speechless" in Lin Gongxun's eyes!
Pretend to be dumb, isn’t that what they say?

The old woman was relieved to see the two of them being so "loving".

"Your husband has gone through a lot of trouble for you."

Lin Gongxun's ears quickly turned red, and he told the old woman that they were husband and wife.

It was precisely because the young master of the house took a fancy to Yu Jia and wanted to take her as his concubine that the two of them escaped.

As for the fact that both of them were mute, the old woman didn't have any suspicion. Which wealthy family doesn't have secrets?

Mute are the easiest to keep secrets.

The two rested all afternoon at the old couple's place, preparing to leave in the morning.

Yu Jia twitched the corners of her lips, looked at Lin Gongxun, and secretly planned.

If she returned to Dazhou, she would definitely spend money to buy Lin Gongxun a set of clothes that fit him well.

In the evening, they had become acquainted with each other. The old woman said that her son was a hunter two miles away from here and would not come to her house on weekdays if nothing happened.

Yu Jia yearned for this pastoral life.

When she leaves the military camp, wouldn't it be nice to find such a quiet courtyard and concentrate on writing her storybook?
But in this world, there are no coincidences.

While several people were having dinner, the old couple's son, who had not been around for more than a month, knocked on the door and shouted.

"You damn old man, open the door for me!"

The old woman was so frightened that she dropped her chopsticks to the ground. She hurriedly stood up and greeted the two of them.

"Child, hide quickly. If that traitor sees it, something might happen!"

Although the two of them were impatient, they hid behind the thin door panel without saying anything.

At this time, the old man walked tremblingly towards the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a cursing voice, "Old immortal, open the door for me."

"It takes a long time for you to open the door. What's the use of you?"

The person who came was tall and tall, and he moved like a rock when he walked.

After entering the house, he threw the wild boar in his hand to the ground.

"Take care of this wild boar tonight, and I will go out and sell it tomorrow."

Yu Jia tried her best to shrink down. She couldn't understand the Uighur language, but she could hear the evil in the rough voice.

The space behind the door panel was small, and Yu Jia was uncomfortable curling up. She did not dare to move much, so she had to lock her head under Lin Gongxun's jaw as much as possible.

The hot breath from her nose hit Lin Gongxun's neck again and again, like a kitten scratching him.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't even know that something was happening outside.

Suddenly, the heat on his neck disappeared, and Yu Jia stood up and ran outside.

"stop!"

Lin Gongxun followed closely and saw the tall, round-waisted man grabbing the old woman's hair and slapping her face with his hands.

Yu Jia flew up and kicked the man out, taking advantage of his daze to kill him!

"do not want!"

The old woman spoke miserably, Yu Jia was stunned, and the man stood up.

The man looked at Yu Jia with a ferocious expression, and then at Lin Gongxun next to the old woman.

"Who are you?"

Yu Jia secretly cried out, and in desperation, she spoke.

"They are just refugees living here, just let them go!"

The old man was heartbroken, fearing that if he didn't get what he wanted, he would make his son crazy again.

"refugee?"

The man laughed ferociously, "Who are you kidding?"

"They are servants who escaped from the Southern Barbarians. They are all pitiful people!"

The old woman wanted to stop the man, but he didn't care.

"A runaway slave? Can a runaway slave have such skills?"

"Besides, a fugitive slave must look like a fugitive slave. In my opinion, these two are deserters, right?"

The greed in the man's eyes disappeared in an instant, "I wonder what kind of reward they will get if they are handed over to the Nanman Army Camp!"
