He suddenly appeared on the ground from mid-air, changed his clothes and appearance, and cast an illusion magic on himself, making his skin dull and rough, looking like an ancient traveler who had experienced the hardships of a sealed and open-air journey.

He walked slowly along the mountain road, hoping to create a chance encounter in the wild with the escort team behind him, so as to obtain some basic information about this world.

"I know all the characters, so the pronunciation should be similar, right?"

"The accent doesn't matter. I can fool people by claiming to be a student who has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles."

Yang Sheng was thinking about it when his expression suddenly froze and he turned his head to look a few kilometers away.

The escort team was hidden behind a mountain, so naturally nothing could be seen. However, with his vague "mental perception", he discovered that the escort team was suddenly attacked when they were passing through a dangerous part of the mountain road.

It was a corner of a cliff halfway up a mountain. The escort team was lined up in a long line and passed through, but was divided into several sections by the gang of criminals lurking in the heights. They were attacked unexpectedly. Not only were these criminals highly skilled in martial arts, but they were also ruthless and spared no one alive. The ordinary warrior guards were killed like chopping melons and vegetables.

Only a few senior escorts on horseback had the ability to fight back, but they were originally attacking by surprise, and their actions were even more unethical. They were carrying extremely powerful bows and crossbows, and the senior escorts who were capable of inflicting casualties on them were killed one after another by their barrage of bullets.

"The clothes worn by these robbers don't seem to be Han Chinese... Are there Han Chinese here too?"

"Their movements are somewhat different... Their basic physical qualities are not much better than those of ordinary people, and are far from reaching the standard of extraordinary. Is this... martial arts, no, martial arts? The kind with internal force attributes?"

Yang Sheng's figure quickly rushed up the mountain ridge, and as he shuttled through the woods, he quickly faded and disappeared. His approximate location could only be determined from the slightly swaying grass leaves and branches.

At the highest point of the ridge, he leaped high into the air, invisible, like a gliding bird, floating towards the fighting scene halfway up the mountain.

An ordinary person might need half a day to walk several kilometers of mountain road, but Yang Sheng walked in a straight line ignoring the terrain and arrived at the scene in just 1 minute.

In a short period of time, the escort team under the "Ma" flag was defeated by the killing. The ordinary escort guards were no match for them, and the senior escorts were gathered and annihilated. In the tragic and explosive scene, it was a one-sided massacre.

"Tsk——"

For a moment, Yang Sheng didn't know whether he should help or how to help. He saw that at the head of the team, some guards dressed as bodyguards were desperately protecting a young girl who was riding a horse and escaping.

There was only one horse. After the girl got on the horse, the guards whipped the horse to run and shouted:

"Run! Run, little sister!"

"Don't ever go back to Ganzhou, and don't even think about revenge!"

"Ah! Kill! Kill! Everyone will die! We will not live either!!"

"..."

Before Yang Sheng could comprehend the plot, he saw them being shot through by a volley of crossbow arrows, and falling to the ground one by one, dead beyond death.

Several cross-dressing men bent their bows and drew their arrows, looking at the girl who had not run far away, sneering and saying something Yang Sheng could not understand. Yang Sheng replaced it with: Want to leave! ? Can you escape!

"That's a bit arrogant..."

Subconsciously, he interfered with the flight trajectory of the arrows they shot, and they flew past the girl and the horse under her crotch, but none of them hurt them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——

"Ok?"

The foreign men were all surprised. How could such a sure-fire attack with so many people miss the target? However, they were good at this kind of surprise attack and did not say a word. They took out arrows from the quiver, put on their bows and shot again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Still one missed.

"(foreign swear words)"

Third round of shooting.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Still no one hit the target. At this time, something they firmly believed in collapsed, causing huge doubts and shock, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a brief exchange of words, the two burly men of the foreign race found the senior escort's horse, jumped on it, and rode away in pursuit.

Yang Sheng frowned slightly as he looked at the scene below, but did nothing. He had previously switched to the [Iron Muscle Battle Suit] and hovered in the air, and followed silently.

……

night.

In the fire pit, the bonfire was crackling, dyeing the cave with an orange-red color.

Yang Sheng was wearing an antique costume and sitting by the fire, his palms facing outwards unconsciously, warming himself by the bonfire.

A roasted browned chicken is placed at a slightly distance. This distance can keep the chicken at a certain temperature and lock in a certain amount of moisture without continuing to be heated and becoming dry.

The other one had turned into chicken bones and was discarded outside the cave and buried under the soil.

The prototype of the two roast chickens is a pheasant with very long tail feathers and spotted patterns similar to those of a guinea fowl. Yang Sheng has never seen such a species in several worlds, and it is probably a species unique to this world.

I don't know if it's suitable for making soup or stewing, but it tastes very good when made into roast chicken.

At the entrance of the cave, there were three horses tied to stone pillars. From time to time, the horses' heads would pop into the leather buckets to eat the grass inside.

Yang Sheng removed the saddle from the horse's back and placed it on the ground slightly inside. He unfolded the bedding roll and placed it at the bottom of the cave. A girl in riding clothes was lying on it with tears in the corners of her eyes.

The story goes that two foreign knights caught up with the fleeing girl and were about to

When the killer was about to kill her, she was rescued by Yang Sheng. The girl fainted due to her emotional ups and downs, and he took her to this cave to settle her down.

During this time, he went out and caught two pheasants for a snack. He ate one himself and prepared the other for the girl.

Wait until now.

Yang Sheng seemed to be sitting by the fire in a daze, but he was actually sensing the state of the space through the Hearthstone item.

"No, the interference is still very strong. Even if I forcefully activate the return magic or use the teleportation array, there is a high probability that I will be sucked into the space turbulence again by the interference."

"At this rate, it will take ten days or half a month to calm down... Damn it."

When Yang Sheng thought about not being able to go home for at least half a month without any preparation, he couldn't help but want to curse. Things are different now than before. If he was to be away for such a long time without any preparation, he would have to make up a lie, and he didn't want to lie to his children.

"Fuck, what is this?"

My mood is not depressed but angry, but this is an accident that is beyond human control, and being angry will not help.

Yang Sheng still appeared very calm on the surface.

Although he was thinking about something, he remained alert to the outside world and noticed the slightest sign of the girl at the bottom of the cave waking up.

When I turned my head to look, I saw the girl's eyelids trembling, but soon calmed down.

Yang Sheng laughed silently: Quite smart, he is awake but pretending to be asleep.

"Come and eat when you wake up. If I were a bad guy, would you still be sleeping till now?"

Probably because she felt that he was right, the girl sat up after a while, sat on the felt and looked at Yang Sheng.

Then he stood up and walked closer, kneeling on the ground. Bang bang bang, he could clearly hear the sound of his forehead hitting the ground. He kowtowed to Yang Sheng three times and said in a lifeless voice:

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will never forget your life-saving grace. I will never refuse your help even if it means death."

After saying that, without caring about Yang Sheng's response, he stood up and sat down next to him, picked up the roast chicken and started eating.

"It has a slight Northwest accent, but this Northwest is not the same as that Northwest... Is it possible that the whole world speaks Chinese?"

"This is because the memory is consistent with the previous one. I remembered that I drove away the two foreign men... I didn't say anything about repaying them with my own body... Is this because I have made up my mind to find an opportunity to take revenge in the future?"

Yang Sheng's mind raced. He had no interest in this world at the moment. He just wanted to return to his original home in his original time and space as soon as possible. Naturally, he had no interest in the reward offered by the girl in front of him named Wang Baoer. He had so many people under him, and even if there were any thorny problems, it would not be her turn to fight for him at all costs.

I was just a little surprised to hear her call herself Wang Baoer.

"Your name is Wang Baoer? But that escort team is flying the banner of the word 'horse'. Aren't you the head of the escort team?"

The girl swallowed the chicken in her mouth and said:

"The surname of the extra man is Ma, and he founded the escort agency, but he has no children. His father's surname is Wang, and the escort agency was still called Ma's Escort Agency."

"Oh, that's what happened." Yang Sheng nodded, and then thought of something and asked, "I heard your senior brother told you not to go back to Ganzhou, and also said that he would not let you seek revenge. From what I heard, it doesn't sound like an ordinary robbery?"

The girl's face twitched a few times, unable to hide her hatred.

"Ganzhou Zhangshi Huyan Yibao is in collusion with Yewu State. On the surface, our family is escorting the military supplies and salaries to the 26 villages in the border area. In fact, Huyan Yibao will secretly inform the people of Yewu to hijack these soldiers on the way. Huyan Yibao betrayed us and said that there would be no fighting after taking away the military supplies."

Yang Sheng: “…”

Although the words were brief, they gave him enough information to understand the cause and effect of the matter. At the same time, words like Yewu Kingdom and Huyan Yi Fort also let him know that this world did not seem to be a parallel world to the Earth, but an imaginary world that might not have any similarities at all.

After a while he said: "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. It would be strange if you didn't get silenced for doing such a thing for him."

Wang Baoer looked at him with bloodshot eyes, but said nothing. After a moment, she lowered her head and ate the roast chicken.

"Hmm, if we continue walking north, we will reach Night House Country. Judging from the way those bandits dress and speak, they seem to be a foreign country and don't seem to be open and inclusive."

"The south should be Ganzhou. I don't know if it's a Han Chinese country, but the appearance and language are almost the same."

"So, to the south..."

"This Ma's Escort Agency aided and abetted the evil... They should be accomplices to the evil, at least helping the villains to transfer benefits to the enemy country, they are not good characters either. Fortunately, I didn't rescue people based on superficial impressions before... Eh?"

"Or is it because Wang Baoer's appearance (righteousness) is not good enough (righteousness), so I didn't kill him to save him?"

……

Silent all night.

The next day, although there was not much communication, early in the morning, Wang Baoer first cut her hair short with a dagger, turning her long hair into short hair that reached the ears like a tomboy. Then she used the black ash from the fire pond to smear the exposed skin to cover up her originally fair skin color. Then she took off all the things on her body that represented her femininity and identity, and changed into the sheepskin robe in her horseback bag.

Suddenly, she changed from a girl in ancient costume who was well-dressed and had a pretty face to a shepherd boy from the northwest during the Republic of China period.

Without saying a word, he followed Yang Sheng silently.

Yang Sheng knew how to ride a horse, so he put the saddle on the horse again, took the few belongings he had, climbed on the horse, and ran in the wild for a while before returning to the mountain.

On the way, we walked slowly along the winding and rugged mountain road between the towering mountains.

Half a day later, they returned to the place where the escort team was ambushed the day before, and saw scavenger birds of prey circling in the sky from afar.

When they reached the corner of the cliff, there were no signs of fighting except for the bloodstains on the ground, and there were no corpses or objects left at the scene.

However, Yang Sheng possessed extraordinary senses. He stepped on the edge of the cliff and leaned out to look down. He saw many stripped and broken corpses at the bottom of the cliff. Some had been gnawed to the point of bare bones. There were also many wolf-like creatures with gray and black backs fighting for food.

He looked back at Wang Baoer, whose eyes were red. From a personal perspective, he had no sympathy for the ending of Ma's Escort Agency. However, based on his character, he said comfortingly, "Let's go. Don't watch anymore. According to ancient etiquette, they have returned to the earth in the most primitive way."

"Um……"

Wang Baoer lowered her head and responded softly, but it could be seen that her masseter muscles on both sides were slightly protruding, probably because she clenched her teeth tightly.

After walking for another half a day, it was dark. We couldn't find a suitable place to spend the night. We only found a depression that was relatively sheltered from the wind.

The horses still had some fodder on board, enough for them to eat for one night.

There were also some breads in the bag that were harder than stones, but Yang Sheng didn't want to chew on that kind of food, so he asked Wang Baoer to stay behind to look after the horses and make a fire. He galloped quickly and soon disappeared into the twilight.

When he came back, it was forty minutes later, carrying a fat rabbit and two pheasants like the ones he caught yesterday.

Wang Baoer, who was gnawing on a hard "stone", looked a little dazed. After she came to her senses, she rushed forward, caught the prey in her hands, pulled out a dagger, and skillfully killed and bled the prey.

The rabbit was skinned and two chickens were plucked, strung on branches and grilled over the campfire.

During the roasting process, the bread is cut into large pieces and stuffed into the chest and abdomen of rabbits and pheasants and roasted together. It absorbs the moisture and fat inside the prey, and the bread becomes soft, exuding a unique aroma.

0062

Yang Sheng did not take the initiative to ask Wang Baoer for some basic information about the world, such as the name of the continent, dynasty, and year number.

These can be obtained naturally through daily interactions as long as you go to crowded places, without the need to ask specifically.

For example, the name of a nearby place is "Yerenpo", which was revealed from the limited language communication between the young girl Wang Baoer and him. After passing through an area called "Maogouling" and taking the "Shijia Village" route, the next stop is "Ganzhou City".

Moreover, Yang Sheng was only interested in returning home and had little interest in exploring this world. He "sensed" the situation outside the barrier of time and space every day, riding his horse and stopping from time to time, in no hurry to travel.

Once he senses that the turbulence of time and space has calmed down and the minimum conditions for time and space travel have been met, he can escape at any time.

The area around "Wild Man Hill" is very desolate, with wasteland landforms, sparse vegetation and wild animal populations, and frequent winds that blow up floating dust and yellow sand on the ground. Therefore, in less than half a day, he no longer needs to use "illusion magic" to disguise his skin color.

There was a layer of dust on his head, face and body, and he looked very worldly.

Under such wild conditions, even a wilderness survival expert like Bear Grylls would find it difficult to obtain food and water from nature.

But for Yang Sheng, it was not a problem. Not to mention that he had all kinds of supplies on him, and they were all in excess. With his own abilities alone, he could easily get food and water from this wasteland environment.

He even did some environmental surveys and animal and plant identification along the way to see if he could collect any valuable samples.

……

Another night.

In the afternoon, Yang Sheng found a vine in the crevice of a dry cliff. The vine looked dry on the outside but was actually full of life.
