The wok was finally done, and the big mess in it was cooked. The aroma wafting from it, with a hint of rotten leaves, made Weiluo's stomach growl. Poor her, after eating green beans for several days, she found this pig food incredibly fragrant and delicious.
This big pot of soup was overflowing, and there was more than enough to go around, so that all the laborers could eat their fill. Wei Luo ate three bowls in a row before finally letting out a satisfied burp.
After gathering pots and pans with the miscellaneous workers and dealing with the bonfire, Wei Luo followed behind Seventeen and entered a large tent. The tent was very big, inside it was densely packed with people sleeping. As soon as Wei Luo entered, a wave of foot odor, body odor, and sweat odor filled her nostrils.
The stench was so strong that it made Wei Luo's stomach churn, almost causing her to vomit up all the food she had just eaten. She couldn't stay there for another moment, so she held her breath and hastily retreated from the tent.
At the sight of her, he shook his head and took out a few pieces of hemp cloth from the corner of the tent. He walked outside and handed them to Wei Luo, saying: "The fire has just been extinguished, so scatter all the ashes and embers, then spread this material on the warm earth to sleep. If it doesn't rain tonight, sleeping like that is far better than inside the tent."
Wei Luo approached Ma Bu and looked at Seventeen with gratitude. She slightly bowed her head and replied: "Thank you, Seventeen Gege."
A dreamless night.
The next day, until the sun was high in the trees, the dazzling sunlight made people's eyes ache, and Wei Luo couldn't sleep anymore.
When she woke up, she found that the camp was still quiet, and it was so late that everyone hadn't gotten out of bed yet.
Having eaten and slept enough, Wei Luo felt invigorated. She got up from the canvas, carefully rolled up the canvas used for ground cover and the one used as a blanket, and held her breath as she sent them back into the tent.
After doing all this, Wei Luo felt greasy on her face and ran to the place where there was a spring last night.
The spring water was clear, and the surroundings were quiet. Wei Luo turned her head to take a look, saw that no one was paying attention, so she slipped into the forest and temporarily found some plants and minerals needed for disguise, then quickly washed her face and re-dressed herself.
When he was back to his usual self, floating on the water's surface, Wei Luo let out a long sigh.
Actually, after disguising herself like this, it doesn't matter whether she washes her face or not. It's just that she can't change her habit and always feels uncomfortable if she doesn't wash her face.
Wei Luo was cautious, and while washing, she quietly told herself: This kind of thing can't happen again. In the future, I must not let myself fall into a possible trap because of a temporary habit problem!
After washing his face, Wei Luo used a liquid to rinse his mouth with spring water. This liquid had a cleansing effect, and Wei Luo had been using it as toothpaste for the past few days, with quite good results. Because of this effect, Wei Luo couldn't help but think of the many yellow teeth, black teeth, and the bad breath that came from his teammates when they opened their mouths, and he felt grateful for the magical disguise technique he had obtained.
When Wei Luo returned to the campsite, all the servants were already up and about, busily setting up pots for cooking rice, fetching water to boil meat, and from afar came a cacophony of noises.
The laborers needed a lot of water, and the place to fetch water was in the woods across from the official road. Wei Luo had washed with this spring water before, but she was the only one who noticed that there wasn't enough.
When the meal was ready, the masters of various camps also got up.
Wei Luo knew that at this time, people generally had two meals a day. Looking at the sun now, it should be around 10 o'clock, and they were having breakfast. As for dinner, if convenient, it would start when the sun sets, which is around 5 o'clock. If there was a special situation, then they would have their meal just before bedtime.
After eating a big mixed breakfast, Wei Luo followed the convoy towards Yicheng.
When the city gate of Yicheng appeared in sight, it was already noon on the fourth day.
Jicheng, as a city adjacent to Jin and Chu states, was built very high and majestic. The stone wall of the city, which is connected with the mountain range, has a length of over ten miles and a height of four zhang (about 12 meters).
On the city gate, in bold font, were written two large characters: "Yi Cheng".
The top of the city gate is an ancient square castle-like building. The open city gate is bustling with people coming and going, extremely lively.
When the magnificent fleet of cars entered the city, the streets were packed with onlookers. In fact, counting only the people in the fleet and the miscellaneous workers, there were only a few hundred people. However, the various vehicles and mounts lined up for a long time, making it look very spectacular.
Mei Da Jia is one of the six most famous courtesans in the world today, and her name has been admired by people from all over the country for a long time. Therefore, when her carriage entered the city, almost the whole city was empty, countless people waiting on the side of the road, just to catch a glimpse of her beauty.
The crowd of onlookers was so large that the entire street became congested. At first, Wei Luo could still see the donkey cart in front of her, but after entering the city for less than a hundred meters, she could only see a sea of dark heads.
She was the first to come to your place, the first to see a big place, and at that time she looked around, her eyes were busy. When she raised her head and took a look, the most striking thing on the street was some swordsmen. These swordsmen wore hemp clothes, some walked barefoot, and others wore straw sandals. One by one, when they looked at people, their eyes were fierce and menacing, with an air of killing intent.
As these swordsmen looked around the convoy, the swordsmen in the convoy also became vigilant, each one focusing their attention on them.
Of course, these swordsmen protected people sitting on horse-drawn carriages, ox carts and donkey carts. Teams of miscellaneous workers like Wei Luo had no one to protect them.
Yuán liǎn shí qī zì cóng jìn chéng hòu, biàn jǐ zài zá gōng zhōng jiān, lǎo shí de dī zhe tóu mù bù xié shì yán bù luàn fā. Bù zhǐ shì tā, zhòng zá gōng fēn fēn xiàng duì wǔ zhōng jiān jǐ qù, yī lái èr qù de, biàn bǎ le Wèi Luò jǐ dào zuì wài miàn!
Wei Luo vigilantly noticed this phenomenon and thought to herself: Could it be that walking on either side is not safe? At this time, everyone was squeezing towards the middle, but she couldn't squeeze in no matter what. She could only carefully observe her surroundings, willing to walk a step slower rather than brush against the pedestrians watching the excitement beside the shops, especially those swordsmen - they were people she didn't even dare look at.
Just as Wei Luo was carefully making sure she didn't bump into anyone, a loud shout suddenly rang out, "You little brat, you stepped on me!"
A loud shout went up, and Wei Luo and the others had just lifted their heads when they heard a young man speaking urgently and fearfully, saying "Spare me, spare me! Please forgive me, sir..." Before he could finish speaking, a flash of yellowish cold light appeared before everyone's eyes.
A flash of cold light, a mournful cry rang out. The mournful cry came suddenly and stopped abruptly, mixed in the noise and not eye-catching.
Wei Luo's eyes widened and her small face turned pale in an instant!
In front of her, a burly man in his thirties with a scarred face was laughing loudly. He carefully wiped the blood-stained sword on the corpse of the youth he had just stabbed and then raised his head to look around.
The big Han's eyes were yellow and turbid, wherever his gaze fell, including Wei Luo and the others, they all lowered their heads to avoid him. Seeing this scene, he laughed again.
The big fellow, seeing that everyone was afraid of him, looked very pleased with himself. He glanced around in all directions, laughing loudly and triumphantly.
Smiling, his gaze slowly shifted towards Wei Luo and the other servants.
