Chapter 158: The East Wind Blows, the War Drums Beat (3)
A fast horse kept running forward, a spring along the way, a stream passed through it, the war horse galloped to the front and couldn't help but stop and bow his head to suck water, the man jumped down, the stream kept hitting the face, four days in a row day and night, the whole person was sleepy, if it wasn't for a force, it would have been impossible to support.
Cold water hit his face and ran down his cheeks, the man wiped it twice with his hand, his eyes fell into the distance, he recognized the direction and jumped on the horse's back again, there was no instrument to distinguish the direction in the Warring States period, what he relied on was experience, and he observed the terrain and the direction of the sun to judge the direction.
"You can't be wrong."
The man's legs were clamped, the four hooves of the war horse opened, the water splashed and ran straight to the distant dense forest, the war horse disappeared, and several people flashed out from behind, all of them were dressed in black, and the person at the head snorted coldly, "Where is this person going!" ”
"I can't care so much, the master must find out where this person is going."
"Let's go!"
The four war horses galloped forward, and the water surface that had just calmed down lifted the water ripples again and dispersed outward, Liu Liu's body was lying on the horse, his eyes opened hard, his eyes gradually blurred, and the whole person reached the limit in a continuous hurry, the figure in front of him shook, and a smile appeared on his face, "Big brother, the sixth son is here." ”
Liu Liu's body shook and fell from the horse, and two people came from a distance, dressed as a mountain hunter, and the young man pointed with his hand, "Dad, someone fell off the horse." ”
"Let's take a look."
An old man and a young man came to the front with a bow and crossbow, and the old man reached out, and there was no big problem, but he saw that he was thin, his clothes were all covered with mud, and he was snoring with a smile on his face.
"Asleep!"
The old man nodded, he also knew some medical skills in the perennial hunting in the mountains, and he had judged that there was no major problem with finger pressing, and it could be judged from the mud and dirt on his body that he must have been in a hurry for days and was tired.
The old man got up, it was getting late, there were many wild beasts in the mountains, it must be inappropriate to stay here, "Song'er, help him back on the horse." ”
The man was obedient, and bent down to pick up the man on the ground and put him on horseback, and after such a toss he still did not wake up, and he could imagine how well he slept this night, and he grabbed the reins and went straight to the village.
The group left, and it didn't take long for several fast horses to approach, and their expressions were also tired, "Why is it gone?" ”
"We're just taking a nap, so we shouldn't be going far."
"This is already Qi Realm, where is he going!"
"It should be called Zhao Jing now."
"It doesn't matter if he is in the Qi realm or in the Zhao realm, none of the people we want will be able to run away."
"You two go this way, send out a code round after dawn, and once you find it, you must not alarm your opponent."
"Yes!"
There are only more than ten households in the secluded village, bursts of smoke come out of the chimney, close to food, every family boils the pot and cooks the rice, and comes back early to clean up the prey, plus water and salt, a pot of fragrant and charming broth emits bursts of aroma, and the half-grown children keep adding fire to the pit, and from time to time come forward to smoke it twice.
"Look at your greed."
"Mother, it's really fragrant, when the dog baby grows up, it will be the same as his father, and he will go up the mountain to hunt for his father and mother to eat."
"Okay, then my mother will be blessed."
With a creak, the courtyard door opened, and the war horse was led in, and the old man took advantage of the situation and threw the prey aside to place it on the firewood and grass pile, "Dad, big brother, I'm back." ”
The door was pushed open, and a person walked out, with an ordinary appearance, a slightly plump figure, holding a basin of water in his hand, and his eyes fell on the horse's back, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"Don't get in the way, I met someone on the way, so I brought it back, dog, vacate your house, and come to sleep here tonight."
"Medium!"
"I'll help you!"
The figure stepped forward, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Liu Liu's face, thin and pale, like a child who had been bullied, and people couldn't help but stretch out their arms to protect.
"Let's get out."
"Hey!" Agreed, his body was still motionless, Liu Liu's body reached the limit, and he still didn't wake up after tossing like this, "Why don't you go." ”
"My face is so bad, most of them are hungry, do you want to boil some rice porridge?" The woman whispered.
"Done."
The woman ran out quickly with a happy face, the dog baby looked at her sister's back, most of the men in the village were conscripted and left, and the remaining few were either too old or disabled, and it was inevitable that they would be tempted by men at this age, "I don't know who this is, hey." ”
The less the fire, the more prosperous, the red face was reflected, the whole person sat there in a daze, the whole person couldn't help but snort out loud, and then in a daze, the laughter just now may not know why he laughed.
The old man stood aside and watched, his brows furrowed tightly, he wanted to step forward and say something, but finally gave up, and returned to his residence with light steps, where the dog baby was lying there, "Baby, why does your sister look so strange today?" ”
"I miss a man."
The dog baby closed her eyes and answered, and the old man nodded, "That's the reason, it's difficult to find a suitable one in all parts of the country, it's really urgent." ”
"There is no dead man, but one of the living lies in the back room."
"That person, no, I don't know the roots, if it's a bad person, wouldn't he have to suffer with it." The old man seemed to think of something and stood up again, "No, I have to go and see." After speaking, he pulled the dog baby with his hand, and the dog baby was also tired after running for a day in the mountains, and his body moved without the meaning of getting up.
"You, believe it or not."
"Tossing, sleep doesn't make people sleep well."
Sit up, shoes half-worn and half-stumbling out, there are two rows of low wooden houses in the yard, the front row of three rooms usually live in an old man, the other one is for the daughter, and the two newly built wooden houses in the backyard are reserved for the dog, the purpose is to find a woman to hold her grandson early.
A porridge fragrance came, Liu Liu was lying there and couldn't open his eyes, his mouth couldn't help but move, the woman saw the opportunity to approach quickly, and a mouthful of rice porridge was sent directly in, Liu Liu lay there and clicked his mouth, fragrant, what is so fragrant, this must be the best thing to eat in this life.
The mouth was slightly raised, the woman's face was red, and the wooden spoon in her hand approached again, and the two figures approached, and she could vaguely see the situation inside through the window lattice.
"What is this doing?"
"Said I wanted to boil some porridge and rice for that person to drink."
"Lonely men and widows are in the same room, it's easy to say it's not good, a stupid baby, and now there is another one." After speaking, he knocked the dog's head.
"Dad, why did you hit me in the head."
"Be quiet, for fear that others won't hear."
The woman's wrist flicked, the rice porridge fell on Liu Liu's face, hesitated, and his fingers slowly approached, Liu Liu was completely in a state of travel, feeling that an object approached his mouth and met it directly.
With an exclamation, the woman's fingers were directly bitten by Liu Liu's mouth, her tongue kept sucking, and a strange feeling instantly entered her body through her fingers, and her whole body changed, and she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The angry voice of the dog baby came and the fingers hurriedly retracted, picked up the rice bowl and walked out quickly, the moonlight could be seen clearly, the father and the eldest brother stood there and hurriedly lowered their heads, a face was frighteningly red, and a heart was fluttering and beating hard.
"Go back first, my father knows this matter."
Trotting all the way back to the lodgings, lying there touching his cheeks with his hands, which was frighteningly hot, his fingers close to his mouth, thinking about the scene just now, his tongue could not help but suck gently.
The old man guarded the door, so that the troubled times were chaotic all day long, people's hearts were also chaotic, and those etiquette numbers also became indifferent, and when I saw someone doing that kind of thing in the woods during a hunt, I didn't dare to think about it at all before I did it, and men and women were like beasts of prey.
The sky was bright, Liu Liuyi got up with a grunt, looked around, stretched out his hand to his waist and the dagger was still there, put on his shoes, pushed open the wooden door, and with a creak, the old man turned around, "You're awake!" ”
"Here?"
"The old family, yesterday in the mountains I met the son fell from the horse and brought it back."
"I see, thank you for saving my life."
"It's just a gesture, why do you go into the mountains alone?"
"I was a business trip, but I didn't want to be robbed on the way, and I ended up getting separated from people." Liu Liu casually made up a reason, we must be vigilant at all times, many things cannot be seen on the surface, especially now, everything must be careful.
"Business!"
The old man showed disgust in his affection, the status of businessmen in the Warring States Period was originally not high, and some small business travelers went around cheating to make a living, so the reputation was even worse, the old man lived by walking in the mountains all his life by relying on a pair of hands of diligence and thrift to hold a sword, no matter how important it is to be a man.
