After her sadness, she noticed something odd. When did warfare stop using guns and switch to knives and shields? They were riding horses, not cars? And their clothes were so strange, thick and cumbersome. No intelligent soldier would wear such impractical clothing. Thinking this, her previous depression vanished. They must be filming a movie! How could she not have realized earlier? She had been sad for nothing. She should have called out to them. Now she’d have to walk back to the city from this remote area. The film was shot so realistically, it had completely fooled her. If Shen Zhonglei hadn’t covered her eyes when the Jin Guo soldiers were clearing the battlefield and dragging corpses, she wouldn’t have thought this way…
Shan Xiaoya turned to look at his worried expression, pursing her lips. Remembering how she had hit him with a wine bottle, perhaps that heavy blow had caused his memory loss. If he remembered everything when they returned, wouldn’t he skin her alive with his abilities? No! She couldn’t be with him. Being with him was too dangerous. She had to stay as far away as possible. It would be best if they never saw each other again.
Chapter 010
Shan Xiaoya suddenly showed a strange smile, unnaturally saying: “Brother… Let’s go quickly! We’d better find the highway and stop a passing car to get back to the city.”
We’re already soaked. It doesn’t matter if we get a bit more wet.”
Shen Zhonglei looked around. “Xiaoya, which direction should we go?”
Shan Xiaoya pointed ahead: “We’ll follow the path they came from. We’ll definitely find the highway.”
The rain stopped quickly. They walked for two hours, seeing no highway but an ancient city ahead. Its outer walls were built with irregular stones, and the gate was a heavy, double-opening black iron door. Above the big iron gate, “An City” was written in a flamboyant style.
Flags flew on the city walls, with a gold-edged “Jin” character flag flying in the wind. Garrison soldiers were on the city gate tower, guarding both sides of the large iron gates. The soldiers’ clothes had the character ‘兵’ printed on them.
