Chapter 92: Strip Off

Su Bai paused for aon so had happened Seven and Gyatso didn’t say anything either In a story world, killing so serious Sure, they couldn’t ask hi, but that was all Besides, anyone would do the saer in advance

Neither Gyatso nor Seven were stubborn; they would not shed crocodile tears over a nobody In a story world, their future was auous, therefore they had no time to feel sorry for anyone else

Just when they were all dressed and were about to get out, they heard voices froe entrance

Su Bai stood against the wall, Seven knelt on one knee, and Gyatso watched from thepaper[1] They were not scared; no ure out how to deal with it However, it would be best to avoid fights and save so to their experiences through so ht not always have a happy ending

”A dozen people without braids” Gyatso said in a low voice

No braids?

That was interesting

Everyone knew that after Dorgon[2] entered the capital city, a policy was carried out forcing everyone to shave their hair At the beginning, people revolted everywhere and were suppressed cruelly It was not until the Revolution of 1911 did they start to cut off their braids

But according to that scout team they saw, it didn’t look like the Revolution of 1911 at all; besides, the village looked rather crude, apparently not under the impact of the industrial revolution Those who had no braids were distinguishable: rebels against Qing government

Su Bai pulled down a chili fro on a wall in a corner of the room, chewed it and spit it out: ”Red Flower[3]Iain ”Are they still here?”

”They’re gone They just took a quick look at the entrance of the village, didn’t even come in,” Gyatso said

”So they ,” Su Bai said ”Theyin rebellion in order to show their determination Success or death Impressive”

Even rebels against their governht catch too uys had no braids, they must have cut off all their means of retreat

”Let’s tail them” Seven stood up and dusted his pants

Every story world had a main plot; if the audiences didn’t follow that, they would end up tragically Now that the main plot was clear, the three of theer

The all sped up Thereon up the hill Before they arrived, they found two dead bodies lying by the road Both were in Qing armors, killed instantly with an arrow to the neck

Seven pulled out one of the arrows and smelt it: ”Poisoned” Then he pulled out the other and threw it to Gyatso: ”Use this It’s better than nothing”

In fact, none of the soldiers or those erous They knew that the real threats must be the zombies that would show up any minute

If they were to fight with ordinary people, even if those people were good atas they were not ambushed or overwhelmed by numbers

Walking towards the hilltop, there weresoldiers, soht here; the Qing soldiers kept retreating, while theforward

”Those re

bels have a lot of arrows, and are of top class as cold weapons for now Those Qing soldiers are strong, and I assuh the night”

Seven had been counting the bodies along the way There should be only seven or eight Qing soldiers left, but only seven or soin both nu soldiers were hopeless

Soon, the cabin by the hot spring caate, there was a carriage; around it lay six dead Qing Soldiers There ht in order to protect the carnage

The curtain of the carriage was broken; they could seen from outside that there was no one inside

Gyatso frowned, closed his eyes and felt it ”This doesn’t one inside, but there isn’t any scent of life in the cabin”

”All dead?” Su Bai asked ”Let’s find out”

Su Bai walked in the front He pushed the door open; it was neat and clean, just as it had been when the three of the and saw soeneral in the Qing ar
