Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 220 Fake Soldier

Feeling extremely guilty, the young man repeatedly assured them, "I really don't doubt that you poisoned them. Really, I can swear if you don't believe me."

"You don't have to swear, I believe you." Tao Qiuyi didn't believe in oaths and changed the subject. "I've already answered your question, now it's your turn to answer mine."

The young man nodded. That was true. Others answered his questions directly, so he should also answer other people's questions directly.

This time the boy didn't hesitate and spoke slowly, "I don't remember who I am. I just remember living in the mountains for a few years. Yesterday I came out to check the traps I had set and encountered them."

"They asked me why I was in the mountains and lied to me that they were soldiers. I told them I lived in the mountains. Then they showed me a map and asked me if I knew the place."

"I saw that they all spoke fiercely and had their faces covered. They didn't look like soldiers. But they had guns in their hands, so I was not sure."

“So I told them I needed to think about it because there are a lot of places in this mountain that are somewhat similar.”

"Did they believe it?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

"I believe it," the young man nodded in response. "They gave me food and water and asked me to stay with them. I couldn't sleep that night, so they thought I was asleep and planned to kill me when they found me."

"I was terrified and sure they weren't real soldiers. I was afraid they would kill me, so the next day I woke up and said I had been to that place."

"And then they asked you to take them there." Tao Qiuyi took over his words, "Actually, you didn't know where that place was, and you brought them out to find a chance to escape."

"Yes, yes, that's what I think." The young man nodded repeatedly, thinking that Tao Qiuyi was so smart that he could even guess what he was thinking.

Tao Qiuyi also felt that this young man was not too stupid. He saw through those people as fake soldiers and knew how to use delaying tactics instead of seeking death by force.

"Were you discovered by them when you were running away, and that's why they chased you?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

The boy shook his head. "No, I did try to escape a few times, but they caught me every time. Then I realized they didn't dare to kill me. This time, I was able to escape because I met you."

"You are my savior. You saved my life. I will do anything you ask me to do for you."

The boy spoke very seriously, and he was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart for saving him.

He spoke incoherently, and there wasn't much useful information. Tao Qiuyi looked at the boy speechlessly. He wasn't too stupid, but he certainly wasn't smart either.

"Do you know how many of them there are?" Tao Qiuyi asked again.

The boy thought for a moment and replied, "About 20 to 30 people, led by a man called Captain."

Captain is a title, not a name. Tao Qiuyi was speechless again. He stood up and patted the dry grass on his body. "I don't need you to do anything for me. Go home and recuperate."

"I don't have a home," the boy said. "I've lived alone in this mountain for over three years. I don't know where my home is, if I have any relatives, and I don't even know my own name."

Oh, how could she forget this? Tao Qiuyi held her forehead and asked, "Where did you live for the past three years?"

"In the cave," the boy replied, trying to get up by holding onto the tree trunk. Unfortunately, his body was in so much pain that he couldn't get up despite trying several times.

Instead, he made himself breathless and pale.

Tao Qiuyi couldn't bear to watch him go on like this, so she took out a fragrant pill and handed it to the boy, "Eat this."

"This is..." The boy looked at the pill, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although he didn't know why she had pills with her, pills weren't candy after all. He couldn't just ask for pills from someone he wasn't related to. "It's poison. Do you dare to eat it?" Tao Qiuyi teased him.

If the young man had not been seriously injured and wanted to save her, she would not have bothered to care about him.

Even though she said that, he still didn't believe her. He reached out and took the pill, threw it into his mouth and ate it. After eating it, he didn't forget to say: "I know this is not poison. Thank you for saving me again."

"To be honest, you've saved me twice. I'll definitely repay you in the future."

Tao Qiuyi was speechless.

After taking the pill, the boy felt the pain in his body eased significantly. He was able to stand up without holding onto the tree trunk, and said in surprise, "My benefactor, your pill is really powerful."

Tao Qiuyi nodded slightly, "After taking my pills, your injuries will slowly heal. Go back to your cave and recuperate. Don't come out again unless necessary."

"We don't know how long those people will be wandering around in the mountains. If we see them again, we should get out of the way immediately."

"I know. Thank you for the reminder." The young man bowed in thanks. "Thank you also for the powerful pill."

"Let's go back." Tao Qiuyi turned and left, thinking to himself, of course it's amazing, the pills she gave him have the effect of healing and relieving pain.

It was she who decided to treat Wei Jingyuan's leg and developed this medicine for him. However, due to changes in his condition, the dosage was increased, and the pain Wei Jingyuan endured doubled.

The pill was of no use.

The young man trotted a few steps to catch up with Tao Qiuyi, "My benefactor, what's your name and how old are you? You're not as tall as me and you look younger than me. It's a pity that I don't remember how old I am."

Tao Qiuyi ignored him and let him mutter.

"Benefactor, are those fake soldiers lying there okay?" the young man asked with some concern.

Tao Qiuyi said: "It's okay, just don't come here again for a while."

"Okay, I definitely won't come here again." The young man nodded heavily. He would never come to this place again. He wanted to say something else, but after hesitating for a long time, he gave up.

Tao Qiuyi walked and searched for herbs, and the boy followed behind her, silently memorizing the shapes of the herbs. Occasionally, he would take an herb that Tao Qiuyi had picked and compare it with one he had picked himself.

Let Tao Qiuyi identify the correct ones and throw away the wrong ones.

Soon Tao Qiuyi discovered that the boy had a talent for herbs and simply taught him how to identify them. The boy was very happy and followed Tao Qiuyi more attentively. He did not ask about the use of the herbs, but only their names.

After walking for a long time, Tao Qiuyi's backpack was filled with herbs.

Two people working together is much faster than one person.

"Here, benefactor." The young man handed Tao Qiuyi a wild fruit, and a sunny smile appeared on his slightly childish face.

If it weren't for the scar on his face, he would be a handsome, sunny boy. Tao Qiuyi took the wild fruit and said, "Why don't you go back? Are you afraid you can't find the cave you live in?"

"No, no, no, I can find the cave to live in." The young man waved his hands and explained, "I followed my benefactor because I wanted to accompany you for a while, or take you down the mountain."

"No, you're still injured. Go back and rest." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi reminded him, "Be careful on the way back."

"Okay." The young man nodded reluctantly, looking at Tao Qiuyi with his little eyes.
