Strange Worlds: The Sequence

  Chapter 7 Sang Zhi

  The carriage was walking in the dense forest, and the wheels kept making noises.

  Chen Yuyan sat cross-legged in the carriage, seemingly closing his eyes and resting his mind, but actually widening his meridians.

  After the internal force finished running for another week, he opened his eyes and looked at the ugly savage woman lying across the desk.

  The characteristic "anger" has been killed temporarily, and was suppressed by Chen Yuyan.

  Chen Yuyan did not count how many barbarians were slaughtered, but there were probably dozens.

   Otherwise, with his previous state, seeing such an ugly person would probably have kicked her off the carriage.

   It makes me upset just looking at it.

  The savage woman's figure looks to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her bare skin is soft and gray, hanging on her skinny limbs, like rags hanging on dry branches.

  Especially the face, with knotted veins, terrible blue and purple, like a frightened water green snake swimming in the ditch, across the entire face, ravaging the five senses into a ball.

  From the appearance alone, it can't even be seen that this is a person.

  The barbarian girl has woken up, lying on the ground and watching Chen Yuyan quietly.

   "What do you think I should do with you?"

  Chen Yuyan touched her chin and said to herself.

   "Are you going to kill Anu?"

  Different from the terrifying appearance, her voice is soft and waxy, with a southern Xinjiang accent, very distinctive and unforgettable.

  Chen Yuyan was taken aback for a moment, Nahan said: "You can speak the official dialect of the Central Plains?"

  The barbarian girl nodded and said, "Anu's father is Han."

  Chen Yuyan was noncommittal, and asked:

"why would you say so?"

  The barbarian girl knew that he was referring to the previous sentence, and after a long silence, she murmured, "Because I heard you say you were going to kill Anu before you fell into a coma."

  Chen Yuyan said lightly:

   "It was to save you that they lied to them, otherwise they might really beat you to death before giving up."

  Hearing this, the savage woman forced herself to feel unwell, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Yuyan, her voice choked up: "Thank you benefactor."

  Chen Yuyan readily accepted, "If you have nowhere to go, why don't you just follow me?"

  He is in need of a guide who is familiar with the local area, and it is best to be proficient in both Chinese and Chinese. Although this barbarian girl is a bit ugly, she just meets Chen Yuyan's conditions.

  As for the appearance, Chen Yuyan didn't pay much attention to it.

   More importantly, this barbarian girl has no one to rely on, and has never had anything to do with other forces, which makes Chen Yuyan very satisfied.

  Other barbarians are more or less inseparable from their own tribes.

  Chen Yuyan didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

   "It's all at the benefactor's command."

  The barbarian's eyes were dim, abandoned by the tribe, she had nowhere to go.

   Chen Yuyan nodded, and asked casually, "What's your name?"

   "Anu is called Anu."

  Chen Yuyan sighed, "Slave" in the barbaric language refers to the most humble thing, this child is probably called this every day in the tribe, even forgot his own name.

   "That's not what I mean, what did your parents call you?"

   "Father and Mother."

  The barbarian girl's eyes were empty, and she was in a daze, as if she was recalling the past.

   After a while, she came back to her senses and said crisply:

   "Anu's name is Sang Zhi."

   "The mulberry of the mulberry tree is immature."

   "Abba said that he hopes that Anu can thrive in the sunshine of southern Xinjiang like a newborn mulberry leaf."

  Chen Yuyan was sipping tea comfortably, but when she heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and put the teacup in her hand on the desk.

  At this moment, the carriage seemed to have hit a rock on the road, and it shook violently.

Snapped-

  With a crisp sound, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

  But Chen Yuyan didn't care, just looked at the barbarian girl quietly, wondering in her heart.

  Sang Zhi?

   "Silkworm Girl" Sang Zhi?

  The green silk is the cage, the cinnamon stick is the cage hook;

   What he was talking about was Sang Zhi.

  Before the update of the second expansion piece "Five Poisons Out of Wildness" of "Strange Rivers and Lakes", the game officially updated the new game CG.

  The first picture that appears in the CG is the mulberry picking girl dancing in the mulberry forest.

   Wan is like a frightened bird, graceful like a dragon swimming.

  The silver jewelry on the head shakes and makes a crisp sound, the colorful skirt on the body is dotted with tassels, coupled with the delicate face and sad thoughts, the players have said that they can't stand it.

   This is the "Silkworm Girl" Sang Zhi who was later discovered by the players.

   "Silkworm Girl" Sang Zhi is an easter egg NPC accidentally discovered by players after the opening of Southern Border. Because of her good luck, she can pick up treasures wherever she goes.

  However, players can only watch.

  Because all the things Sang Zhi picked up belonged to her exclusively, even if the players snatched them, they couldn’t use them.

  It's a pity that "Silkworm Girl" Sang Zhi only had contact with the players for less than half a month, and her tribe was annexed because of defeat.

  Sang Zhi also died in that conflict.

  At that time, she was just entering the location for the first time, and she had already shown her combat power beyond ordinary people, dragging four or five location fighters to death by herself.

   In the end, he was stabbed in the back by his own clansman and ambushed in the body, and then died.

  Chen Yuyan looked at the ugly barbarian girl in front of her, and really couldn't connect the gentle and soft "silkworm girl" Sang Zhi with her.

   But looking at the silkworm tattoo on the center of Sang Zhi's eyebrows, and then recalling Sang Zhi's face in the game, there is indeed an identical silkworm tattoo on the center of her eyebrows.

   It is possible that the group of captured barbarians were rescued later, and Sang Zhi, who was supposed to return to the tribe, was cut off by himself.

  Chen Yuyan narrowed her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

  Although Sang Zhi in the game is not very powerful, Chen Yuyan knows her potential.

  If Sang Zhi can survive, although he is not sure that he has the possibility of becoming a giant in the rivers and lakes, it is by no means a problem to become a master.

  Sang Zhi looked at the fragments of the teacup on the ground, and then at Chen Yuyan who said nothing, thinking that he was angry, so she consciously bent down and picked up the sharp fragments with her slender fingers.

  Chen Yuyan just stretched out her hand to stop her, when she heard Sang Zhi cover her head, huddled up, and said something in barbaric language.

  Although he couldn't understand, he could feel that Sang Zhi was very scared.

  If Chen Yuyan could speak savagely, she would understand what Sang Zhi was talking about:

   "Anu will work, don't hit Anu."

  Big and generous hands landed on Sang Zhi's head, comforting the frightened little beast.

  Chen Yuyan squatted down and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay."

  Sang Zhi quickly realized that she was no longer in the tribe, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Chen Yuyan.

   "I'm sorry benefactor, Anu did something wrong."

  Chen Yuyan wanted to reach out to pull Sang Zhi up, but she avoided her.

  She faltered and said: "Anu is a disaster. They all said that touching Anu's body will be inauspicious. It is better for Benedict to touch Anu less in the future."

   Halfway through speaking, Sang Zhi was worried about being left behind by Chen Yuyan, so she hastily defended:

   "As long as you don't touch Anu, you won't be infected with bad luck. I won't lie to you. Everyone in the tribe who hasn't touched Anu is fine, nothing happened."

   "And Anu can also wash and cook, and can do all kinds of work."

   "Anu can also recognize herbal medicines. He was arrested by people in the tribe to test medicines. He suffered from stomach pains for more than half a month. Anu knows all kinds of herbs that are poisonous and non-toxic!"

   "In the future, Anu can eat all the herbs that benefactor doesn't know!"

  Sang Zhi looked at Chen Yuyan cautiously, begging in his eyes, but he didn't dare to make it too obvious, for fear of annoying Chen Yuyan.

   "Don't worry, I won't leave you behind."

  Chen Yuyan smiled casually, and in the latter's eyes of resistance and fear, reached out and patted her on the head again.

   The convoy rolls forward wheel after wheel.

   I don't know when, the forward convoy stopped.

  At this time, it was getting closer to dusk, the last afterglow of the setting sun had disappeared, the sky had no glow, and there was still a faint twilight of dove gray, and a biting cold wind began to blow in the sad dense forest.

   "Daxia Chen, we have arrived at the bamboo mosquito tribe, would you like to come down and rest for a while?"

   After the guard finished speaking, he saw the wooden door of the carriage open, and Chen Yuyan stepped out of it, followed by a man in black robe who was tightly covering his body.

  Chen Yuyan was very helpless, he didn't care about Sang Zhi's appearance, but the latter insisted on putting on a black robe to cover his whole body.

   But that's fine too, when Chen Yuyan's characteristic "anger" erupts again, if he sees something that makes him unhappy...

  Maybe what will happen.

"This is."

  The guard pointed at the man in black robe behind Chen Yuyan, hesitating to speak.

  Chen Yuyan smiled and said, "This is the unconscious barbarian girl."

  "I saw her lonely and had nowhere else to go, so I felt compassion for her, so I accepted her as my maid."

  The guard understood, and nodded to show that he understood.

  The Bamboo Mosquito Tribe is not the end of this journey, but just a temporary stop on the way to the Scorpion Tribe.

  At the same time, the bamboo mosquito tribe is also a subsidiary tribe of the scorpion tribe.

  In the Nanzhao tribe, the five tribes of "snake, scorpion, toad, centipede, and gecko" are respected, and other tribes are basically affiliated tribes of these five tribes.

   Walking into the Bamboo Mosquito Tribe, the first thing that catches the eye is a series of stilted towers.

  The Diaolou is built with bamboo. The house is separated from the wet ground, and some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are kept in captivity below.

  At this time, the bamboo mosquito tribe was full of people, rubbing shoulders and heels, adding a strong atmosphere of human smoke to the vast and quiet southern Xinjiang jungle.

  Chen Yuyan rented a bamboo house near the outskirts of the tribe, and lived in it with Sang Zhi.

   "Young master, Anu brings you water to wash your feet"

  As soon as she got on the bamboo building, the little man girl couldn't wait to show her worth.

  Chen Yuyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Why do you call yourself Anu again? Didn't I tell you not to call yourself like that in the future?"

  Sang Zhi's face was covered by a black cloth, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

  Her voice was muffled: "Anu Wang"

"Um?"

  Sang Zhi hurriedly changed his words: "I forgot."

  Chen Yuyan nodded in satisfaction and said:

   "Sang Zhi, you have to remember that you are no longer a slave, and let the previous things pass, you just need to look up and look forward."

   "My lord, I know."

   "You don't need to bring me water to wash my feet anymore. I didn't save you for you to do this kind of thing."

   "Go take a shower first. I haven't showered for more than ten days and my body is rotten. I have something to tell you when I come back from the shower."

  Sang Zhi nodded, oh and went out to wash up.

  The barbarians in southern Xinjiang are more casual about washing. To take a bath is to jump into the river with clothes on. After swimming up twice, it is considered finished.

  Watching Sang Zhi leave the bamboo building, Chen Yuyan thought about what to do next.

  First of all, Sang Zhi needs to be promoted to 【Gu Sequence】.
