Chapter 33: I’m A Good Citizen, Really!

She still needed to explore the various characteristics of space, but in short, its existence was a great help to Cheng Ling.

At the edge of the campsite, Hong Guangyi, who was on night duty, shouted, “Who’s there!”

Cheng Ling led the two horses and moved through the bushes. She smiled and appeared in front of Hong Guangyi, who was standing up alertly.

On the other side, Third Aunt Mu, who was dozing off at the entrance of the cave, also woke up in an instant.

As soon as she saw Cheng Ling, she ran over happily and shouted, “Xiao Cheng!”

He turned around and saw Cheng Ling leading the horse. When he saw the pile of supplies on the horse’s back, he was even more surprised. “Brother Cheng, what are you doing?”

Cheng Ling took this opportunity to take out some of the materials she had stored in her space. For example, she had obtained a stack of rough burlap from collecting the refugees and the “knife controlling technique: simplified” book she had obtained from Xiang Yong.

The main reason she brought out the saber controlling technique was to clear her martial arts path with Mu Sanniang.

Other than that, she also took out a sleeping bag, a waterproof mat, a thermos bottle, and other things from her backpack.

She didn’t take out the tent. The workmanship of this thing was too difficult to explain. It was unlike sleeping bags and waterproof mats, which were more private. If she didn’t let others see it, she could still fool them.

Cheng Ling didn’t take out any maps either. In ancient times, maps were too sensitive. If it wasn’t necessary, Cheng Ling didn’t plan on showing it to others.

There were a few items on the horses that were particularly eye-catching. Hong Guangyi’s eyes were glued to them.

“Saber!” He exclaimed in shock.

As he spoke, he pounced over, his eyes fixed on the ringed saber at the top. It was as if they were glued to it, unable to move away.

“Xiao Cheng, where… did you get these weapons?” Third Aunt Mu’s voice trembled.

“Mother, Lu County is in chaos,” Cheng Ling said. “The commander of the Linhai army who stayed behind to guard the city was killed, and most of the soldiers fled. I picked up a few weapons.”

These words were not a lie, but they were vague and blurred the main point.

Hong Guangyi quickly asked, “What about the rest of the people in the city?” How many people… are there in the city?”

This question was a little heavy. Cheng Ling paused for a moment before saying, “There aren’t many of them, but some of them are still alive. They should have all escaped by now.”

Hong Guangyi let out a long breath. He didn’t know if he was comforted by Cheng Ling’s words or if he thought of some other story. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Lu County.

Naturally, nothing could be seen in the night.

Hong Guangyi turned around and cupped his hands at Cheng Ling. “Thank you, Brother Cheng, for taking the risk to bring me the news of my hometown.”

Cheng Ling turned her body sideways and said, “Second Brother Hong, it’s confirmed that King Linhai has raised the flag of rebellion. I met a lady from the Wang Family in the southern suburbs of Lu County. before she died, she asked me to pass a message to Red Cloud City.”

She told him everything about Wang Hua in detail. There was no need to hide this from him.

However, Cheng Ling didn’t tell him what exactly happened because she wanted to preserve her dignity. Presumably, a woman like Wang Lian, who cared so much about dignity, would definitely not be willing to expose her tragic story.

In the end, Cheng Ling concluded. “King Linhai has already led his army for six days. We’ll set off tomorrow morning and take a shortcut. Hopefully, we can reach Chixia City before him. ”

“Brother Hong, it’s hard to say if we’ll encounter any danger on this trip to Red Cloud City. “You and Brother Shi can also choose another route, you don’t have to go with us.”

Hong Guangyi’s expression changed when he heard that. He quickly said, “Brother Cheng, you’re looking down on me, Hong Er, and Brother Shi. You can’t say this again. We said we’re going the same way, how can we split up halfway?”

He even put on a straight face. “This definitely won’t do. No way! ”

At some point, Shi Hong had also woken up. He had been napping by the fire with his head lowered. Now that he looked up, he immediately added, “We’ll go wherever Brother Cheng goes!”

Seriously, he was clearly injured and tired, so sleepy that he couldn’t even open his eyes, but he still didn’t forget to express his loyalty.

The night passed quickly.

In the second half of the night, Cheng Ling took advantage of the moonlight and stood at the Tai Chi stance again.

The moonlight energy that she had used up before was replenished. Cheng Ling observed it carefully and even felt that the moonlight energy she absorbed this time seemed to have increased a little.

It wasn’t an obvious trace, but it should have increased.

This was great. If Cheng Ling saw herself as a container, then the first time she absorbed moonlight’s energy, the energy accumulated in her body was enough for her to absorb five or six times.

This was her second time absorbing the moonlight’s energy. Through observation and comparison, Cheng Ling realized that although the energy she absorbed this time didn’t increase by a large amount, it still made her feel a little better.

For example, she could go from collecting five or six times to six or seven times.

However, it was good enough to have a slight increase.

With progress, there would be unlimited possibilities. This was what Cheng Ling felt was most worthy of joy.

The next day, it was a cloudy day.

The sun did not come out. Although the sky was bright at seven o’clock, the sky seemed a little dim.

Third Aunt Mu was busy mixing wild vegetables with the leftover wolf meat from yesterday and cooking it for breakfast. She then urged Cheng Dani and her sister to continue gathering all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits that could be used in the surrounding area.

Cheng Ling had gotten up early to do her stance, so she hadn’t been able to absorb the sun’s energy. However, her daily training had strengthened her muscles and bones, so she hadn’t neglected it.

After she was done, she picked up a knife and looked for suitable wood to cut. She was going to make two simple handcarts and let the two horses pull them.

With a simple carriage, they could move much faster. Compared to King Linhai, who was slowed down by the infantry, they had an advantage.

This was called “sharpening the knife will not delay the work of cutting wood.” Shi Hong and Hong Guangyi also agreed with this.

Shi Hong’s injuries were more serious and he couldn’t do heavy physical work, so he helped Mu Sanniang smoke wolf meat.

There were still more than 30 pounds of wolf meat left. Although it was cooked yesterday, it was best to continue to smoke it today. This way, it could be preserved for two more days.

Hong Guangyi, on the other hand, was logging with Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling took out Xiang Yong’s knife controlling technique and practiced it while cutting wood. She also invited Hong Guangyi to learn it with her.

Hong Guangyi was so touched that he almost kowtowed to her.

The ancient people treasured their own brooms and were extremely strict about the inheritance of various techniques. No one would easily pass on their knowledge and skills.

Cheng Ling stopped Hong Guangyi from bowing. Hong Guangyi said, “Don’t worry. After learning your martial arts, from now on, I will not go west if you point east. If you ask me to kill someone, I will not hit the dog! I’ll leave my hundred jin to you!”

Cheng Ling, uh…

I can’t accept it.

Only the heavens knew that she really wasn’t a homicidal maniac. She didn’t have a hobby of killing people, and she didn’t intend to recruit subordinates to commit murder and arson.
