Chapter 37
From the south of the city to the north of the city, there was originally a bridge built. For some unknown reason, the bridge fell into disrepair for a long time. It straddled the river in a dilapidated state, but no one walked across it. Wei Lingran didn't dare to take risks, lest she The goal of the two of them is obvious, and they are afraid that if the bridge collapses when they pass by...

However, the boatman on the ferry hadn't woken up yet, and the sole of her foot was injured, and the boy's shoulder was poisoned... None of them dared to swim across the other side rashly.

Wei Lingran looked at the moored boat, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled.

They found an unmanned boat, joined several other boats, and rowed to the opposite bank together. Before that, they quietly anchored several boats and let them go down the river. It looked like many small boats were moving. Even if Xiyi's people came after them and saw the situation, it was difficult to determine which direction they were going.

However, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel!
Before Wei Lingran and the boy rowed to the opposite bank, groups of bearded soldiers in military uniform rushed to the place where they put the boat.

The beards really couldn't know their whereabouts in a short time. After a moment of silence, there was a cruel laughter echoing from the shore, and they shouted "Fang" short and hard.

With one order, thousands of arrows were fired, and thousands of fires flew wildly. In an instant, all the boats on the river, whether they were floating or anchored, were all engulfed in flames.

Wei Lingran and the young man were forced to jump into the water, but most of the people on the boat were still asleep. A nightmare came, destroyed the tools they depended on for survival, burned their homes, and took the lives of many of their family members .

Wei Lingran watched all the chaos on the river surface, cries, cries for help, screams... Seeing the innocent people who lost their homes and relatives in the firelight, she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound. She stared wide open, branding all the tragic images in her mind. If it wasn't for the young man tightly strangling her waist, she would have rushed out desperately.

Those who screamed, some people once greeted her kindly on a sunny morning, and some people once played football with her...

Most of the people living on this river are Han Chinese. Those who once gave her a friendly smile are now dying because of her.

Wei Lingran's wide-open eyes were empty and cold, and there was only fire in front of her eyes, and the fire spread to the sky one by one, reflecting the entire river surface and her tearful eyes red.

"Let's go, we have to swim to the other side quickly." The young man dragged her to paddle underwater without looking back. They didn't have time to waste here watching Huzi kill people and set fire.

Wei Lingran didn't struggle, she lowered her eyes in silence, and tried her best to dive underwater and walk away. Only by living could she avenge the tragic deaths of the people.

Although the surface of the river is not wide and the current is not turbulent, both of them were injured, and they had been traveling to Tibet before, without getting a single bit of rest, and their physical exertion was even greater as they dived underwater.

Fortunately, the surface of the river was in chaos, and no one had noticed their underwater movements for the time being. The two of them paddled to the opposite bank with great difficulty. She couldn't bear it anymore, and half-led her to swim away, seeing that they were about to go ashore, the two quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the orderly and powerful steps were rustling on the shore, the young man's gray face darkened, Wei Lingran closed his eyes wearily and desperately, they were still a step too late after all, Hu Nu's men had already crossed the north of the city to search for them .

The young man pondered for a while, then raised his eyebrows to look at her firmly, "You stay here and don't move, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Wei Lingran nodded silently. She also saw two beards sneaking away from the main force just now. He wanted to subdue them, so let's try to hide it. Given her current situation, it is indeed wiser to stay here.

It's a pity that the drugs and poisons she brought with her were all reimbursed after soaking them in the menstrual water.

Ji Yuanhe dived from the water and sneaked ashore.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the boy took a set of soldier clothes and threw them in front of Wei Lingran, "Put it on, let's get out of here."

Wei Lingran glanced at him, and found that he had a few more wounds on his arms. She didn't ask or sigh, and quickly put on her clothes, and tore off the mask on her face. This thing can't be worn anymore. It has become a symbol. Everywhere in the city is a striking reminder.

Seeing her true face, the young man was stunned, and a strange expression flashed in his eyes.

Wei Lingran pointed to his own face, and laughed at himself: "Why, my true face scares you?"

"How come, you actually look... quite pretty." The young man stared into her eyes with a sincere expression, but pointed his hand into the water intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Lingran didn't understand what it meant, for a while, he looked suspiciously at the surface of the water, and a face with beautiful features was reflected in the water, and the pockmarks that were originally covered on the cheeks had disappeared most of them at some point, leaving only a few sporadic ones. The heart is also stubbornly embellished with a face that is actually breathtaking.

Wei Lingran was dumbfounded, almost suspected that it was an illusion, she blinked her eyes hard, then stretched out her hand and pulled her face vigorously, the reflection in the water was still a beautiful face wantonly, she believed it, and touched it with surprise and joy. In order to wipe the yellow mud on his face, he also wiped the boy's face by the way.

If she wasn't in a dangerous situation at the moment, she would definitely yell to express her inner excitement. After all, there is no woman who doesn't care about her appearance, and she is still young and young.

After the makeover, Wei Lingran and the young man can walk on the street with a big swagger, but her foot injury is a big problem, it is not easy to go where they are going without showing their flaws.

Wei Lingran's own martial arts are not good, and after repeated wear and tear, her internal strength is even more depleted. In order for her to barely walk, Ji Yuanhe did not hesitate to pass on her own martial arts to support her so painful that she could not walk.

The two of them leaned very close side by side, and walked step by step towards one of Wei Lingran's hidden nests, where there were medicines they needed to heal their wounds...

Seeing that the safe nest was getting closer, at the corner, a small group of beards came up abruptly, and when they passed by, someone suddenly stopped them.

"Hey, you two stop."

The two stood still in place.

The boy's drooping eyelashes trembled, and Wei Lingran squeezed the silver needle in his palm.

Hu Zi didn't approach them, looking at the shadows on the ground, this Hu Zi was tall and strong, he looked back at the two of them, frowned, and said, "Hey, you two, why are you going that way? Hasn't there been a search over there? , why are you turning back?"

"Oh, it's the lady who left some valuables over there, let us both go back and look for them." The young man lowered his voice, lowered his head and replied in a neutral manner.

"Miss left something behind?" Hu Zi came over suddenly, staring at the young man with a heavy breath, "I just met Miss just now, why didn't I hear her mention it?"

"Well, so, are you suspicious of us? Or do you have to report the matter of the young lady to you, please agree?" The boy turned his eyes and looked over so plainly, but Hu Zi felt that his aura was overwhelming, and his eyes were colder than snow , that forceful momentum made Huzi take half a step back unconsciously.

With this retreat, the momentum immediately lost, and Huzi smiled sarcastically and said: "Hey, don't dare, since it's the lady's order, the two of you should go, go!"

Wei Lingran secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly walked side by side with him using his youthful internal strength.

They just walked casually, unable to look back, unable to show a trace of nervousness, let alone quicken their pace, even though they knew that the bearded girl was nearby and would bump into them at any time.
