Chapter 168 Xiaowa Village
After returning to the tent, Ye Qiongying no longer thought about what would happen to Li Yunwei.
She has more important things in her mind. Li Yunwei can only disgust people at most, which is nothing compared to the overall situation.
Ye Qiongying took off her coat. She still felt some pain in her shoulder. She didn't have time to deal with it. She first took out the note she had brought from Pang Li and couldn't wait to unfold it and take a closer look.
There were not many words written on the note, and you could see them all at a glance:
"Zhu Yongli
"Xiaowa Village"
There were only two lines of words, one was the shepherd's name, and the other was his location.
Xiaowa Village.
After Ye Qiongying arrived in Pingwu City, she made a point of memorizing all the areas around it.
At the mention of the name, a topographical map immediately came to her mind.
The closest place to Xiaowa Village is... Cunjin Mountain where the exile camp is located!
That's right!
That's it!
Cunjin Mountain is rich in minerals, so the prisoners who were exiled to Pingwu City either served in the Pingwu Army or were sent to the exile camp on the other side of Cunjin Mountain to mine.
The minerals that are mined are sent elsewhere.
Xiaowa Village is about five miles north of Cunjin Mountain.
In the beginning it was just a remote little place, because some of the exiled prisoners did not commit crimes punishable by death, and with permission from their superiors they could still live a normal life here.
In addition, there were also family members of the exiled prisoners who did not have to be exiled with them and followed them because they were worried about them.
In order to be managed nearby, most of these people went to Xiaowa Village.
They lived and multiplied in this way from generation to generation, and from a small clan of only a dozen people at the beginning, it has now become a village of nearly a hundred people.
Most of the people in the village are descendants of exiled criminals.
Because of the situation of our ancestors, they were unable to enter officialdom and were exiled. Naturally, there was no property left in their homes as most of it was confiscated.
Only a few people can start from scratch and leave this place to change their lives.
Most of them became villagers of Xiaowa Village and lived an ordinary life with simple meals.
Later, after several generations, their memories of previous generations became more vague, and life in the village seemed more normal.
It can be said that Xiaowa Village is like a derivative of Cunjin Mountain.
How could it be such a coincidence?
It is a rare occurrence that a group of sheep fell to their death.
It’s right near Cunjin Mountain!
It is no wonder that the generals in the army would send people to investigate at this time.
Ensuring that the mutton is fine is probably not the real purpose. The main goal of this investigation is probably to look at other things.
As for the mutton, it was fine, so we brought it back to the canteen as a snack for everyone. I guess it was just a side dish.
Judging from Pang Li’s reaction tonight, I guess the results of the investigation are that everything is normal and there are no problems?
Logically speaking, Ye Qiongying should feel at ease.
After all, Pang Li and his men were high-ranking generals who had no shortage of men or money. What else could it be that they sent someone to investigate? It was more convincing than her wild imagination.
But Ye Qiongying just felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
She put the note down.
I'll have to find a chance to check it out.
Du Ming.
Assault.
A native of Xili.
Exile camp.
Xiaowa Village.
Putting all this information together, Ye Qiongying would still be worried even if nothing happened on Pang Li's side.
After she made up her mind, she found the medicine and rubbed her shoulder which was still painful. She felt the effect of the medicine had taken effect and the painful area began to become warm. Then she washed her hands and lay back in bed.
go to bed.
After waking up, you will have enough energy to face these things tomorrow.
I don’t know if it was because I had a rough night or if I was just thinking this way.
This time, she did not suffer from insomnia. She fell asleep successfully soon after she touched the pillow.
On the second day, Ye Qiongying arrived at the martial arts arena on time.
Pang Li’s news yesterday turned out to be true. As soon as Instructor Ren showed up today, he informed them of the time for the new recruits’ competition and asked everyone to prepare early.
In the following weeks, the teams will evaluate the training content, and the team with the highest overall score will be the one to replace their team to participate in the competition.
At this time in the past, Li Yunwei would always give Ye Qiongying and the others a provocative look, and sometimes even say something unpleasant.
Today he looked a little listless, his face seemed a little pale, and he had no intention of coming here to cause trouble.
Even when his eyes accidentally made contact with Ye Qiongying, he would immediately look away, as if he had seen something scary, and was unwilling to have any further contact with her.
Others didn’t know, but Ye Qiongying knew it clearly.
She cut him last night. Even if the injury was not serious, he would not feel better without going to the military doctor for treatment.
Not to mention training with injuries.
Moreover, it seemed that this person finally had some brains and could see the situation clearly.
It would be a good thing if everyone could be more restrained in the future.
Ye Qiongying's attention was all on Xiaowa Village and Cunjin Mountain, and she didn't care much about the news.
The other recruits were excited about this.
They have known about this thing since they entered the military camp.
If he could perform well, he might be appreciated by the generals and be able to escape from being just a soldier.
Coming to the military camp is either to die or to gain a future.
Of course, the higher you climb, the better.
The higher your position, the less likely you are to become a vanguard soldier before the battle, and the greater your chances of survival.
Moreover, the more silver you get.
Whether it's for survival or for money, there's nothing wrong with climbing up.
The possibility of rising to power through military achievements is too small.
They also couldn't believe that they had the ability to stand out among so many people.
Compared to fighting on the battlefield where one has to risk their lives, this recruit competition is of course safer and easier.
However, this time should have been announced long ago, but there has been no movement this year.
In the past two months, there has been a lot of private discussion, and everyone is speculating what is going on.
Everyone thought that it would never happen again!
Unexpectedly, the specific time was announced today.
For a moment, everyone's enthusiasm for training increased.
Compared with them, Ye Qiongying's expressionless look was quite special.
Her mind had already shifted to another place.
Today, Ye Qiongying waited outside the martial arts training ground, and when Instructor Ren came, she mentioned a few words about asking for leave to leave the camp.
This request has been rejected by the instructor.
It is said that the management in the most powerful army has become stricter, and no one is allowed to leave the camp except on rest days. No matter who you are or what important matter you have, if you want to go out, you must get the unanimous consent of several generals and take their handwritten letters before you can leave the camp.
Several generals sent people to investigate and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Xiaowa Village.
It was impossible for Ye Qiongying to convince them based on her own guess without any evidence.
Therefore, it is unlikely to walk out of the military camp openly.
She had to think of another way.
