Chapter 219: The Yellow Turban Soldier Behind Behind
In the open field, a bonfire burned brightly.
The skinned pit viper was picked on a thin wooden stick, and Liu Wei held the wooden stick in his hand, constantly roasting it. The flames burned on the half-cooked snake meat, like a red tongue, constantly licking the snake meat above it, roasting the snake meat to the point of oil.
Sitting next to Liu Wei, looking at the pit viper that had been skinned and picked on a wooden stick, Guan Qing's heart was still palpitating.
"Miss Guan is full of martial arts, and there is no fear among the thousands of troops, how can she be afraid of this little snake?" While roasting the snake, Liu Wei seemed to ask Guan Qing who was sitting next to him casually.
"I've been afraid to urinate since I was a child!" Looking at the pit viper that was picked up on the thin wooden stick by Liu Bian, Guan Qing's eyes were still a little afraid, and he responded timidly: "The ugliness of the snake, just one glance will make people feel creepy." There may be only a snake in this world, and I can be so frightened! ”
"There are so many things to be afraid of!" Holding the wooden stick in both hands and slowly flipping it, letting the flames burn evenly on the snake's body, Liu Wei said to Guan Qing who was sitting on the side: "What we should really be afraid of is people!" People are good, but some people's hearts are uglier than snakes! No matter how ferocious the beast is, it hurts people only to fill its stomach or protect itself, and the killing out of nature is limited after all. But the struggle between people is endless. The number of people who died in the mouths of all the beasts of prey combined is probably less than one ten-thousandth of those killed by their own kind. ”
The snake meat was bubbling with oil, and the surface was already glowing with a golden color, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said: "There are too many reasons for people to start a war and kill other people. For the right for women! For money, for territory! Even just for a little grass on the lawn, some war maniacs can find a reason to go to war. A group of greedy people start a war to satisfy their desires, pushing more people who have nothing to do with their desires into the battlefield, while they themselves hide behind their backs and enjoy the results! ”
"Your Highness seems to hate war." Turning his head to look at Liu Bian, Guan Qing's eyes showed a little puzzlement, and asked Liu Bian: "In today's world, if His Highness doesn't rise up and fight, how can he gain a foothold?" ”
"yes!" Liu Wei sighed lightly, his hand holding the thin wooden stick kept flipping, but his face was slightly raised to look at the few white clouds flowing in the clear blue sky, and said with a little sentimentality in his tone: "The war has already started, in this world of the weak and the strong, if we don't rise up and fight, how can we survive?" ”
"When the Yellow Turban Incident happened, the little girl was still young!" Sitting on the ground, with his legs bent, Guan Qing hugged his knees with his arms, rested his chin on his knees, looked at the burning bonfire with his eyes unblinking, and said faintly: "I heard that my brother said that Zhang Jiao used the name of Huang Tian to stand by the dead sky, telling everyone that as long as the Han family was overthrown, the people would have food and clothing, and it was for this reason that countless yellow scarves were gathered in various places. My parents starved to death, and my eldest brother had no choice but to join the Yellow Turban ...... with me, who was still a young child."
"What do you think the Yellow Turban Army has gained over the years, in addition to fighting everywhere and killing innocents?" Turning his head and smiling at Guan Qing, Liu Wei asked her softly.
Guan Qing's expression showed a bit of contemplation, and after a while, she shook her head and said to Liu Wei: "I don't know, over the years, I have seen many old and weak yellow turbans freeze to death and starve to death, and I have also seen many people killed by yellow turbans. Sometimes I pick up a weapon, and I don't even know why I'm fighting! Is it true that people live to kill others? ”
"There are people who are born troublemakers in this world!" Looking at Guan Qing with a confused face, the smile on the corner of Liu Bian's mouth gradually faded, and he said to Guan Qing while roasting snake meat: "When the people are in distress, they will always jump out and tell the people that as long as they follow them, they will have clothes and food, and they can live a good life." But when they gain power, the people who follow them will eventually find that everything is nothing but a deception, and everything they promised at the beginning cannot be fulfilled at all, so they make such promises, so that more people will die for them in vain......"
Guan Qing didn't answer Liu Wei's words, she put her hands around her knees, her chin rested on her knees, and her big eyes blinked a lot, as if she was thinking about something in her heart.
"Cooked!" Guan Qing looked pensive and didn't speak again, Liu Wei took back the snake meat on the wooden stick at this time, pinched the burnt snake meat, and then pulled off a piece and put it in his mouth to chew, until he swallowed the snake meat, he nodded, pulled off the two hub meat, handed it to Guan Qing and said to her: "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very fragrant!" It's just a pity that there is less salt, and if you can sprinkle some spices, it will be much better. ”
The snake meat was pulled into a meat hub, and it was no longer in the shape of a snake, although she was very afraid of snakes in her heart, but the snake meat that she couldn't see what it was at all was placed in front of Guan Qing, but it would not add much to the fear in her heart.
Timidly stretched out her hand to take the two hubs of snake meat handed to her by Liu Bian, Guan Qing pinched one of them, and looked at Liu Biao with some apprehension, as if she wanted to get the affirmation that snake meat could indeed be eaten from Liu Bian.
Looking at Guan Qing with apprehensive eyes, Liu Wei took off another piece of snake meat and put it in his mouth to eat, chewing the snake meat in his mouth, he couldn't stop nodding his head and whispering "um" as if he was enjoying it.
His eating appearance aroused Guan Qing's appetite, Guan Qing licked his lips, and also brought the snake meat in his hand to his mouth.
As soon as the meat reached his lips, a pungent smell of meat tempted Guan Qing's belly with a "gurgling" churn.
Afraid that he would not be able to survive the hunger after all, the fragrant snake meat was on his lips, Guan Qing finally closed his eyes tightly and bit down fiercely.
The cooked snake meat is really as Liu Wei said, the entrance is tender and soft, and it is very refreshing. After eating the first bite, Guan Qing had no scruples, and in a few clicks, she ate the two lumps of meat that Liu Wei handed her, leaving only the bones.
As soon as she finished eating the second piece, Guan Qing was about to raise her hand to wipe her mouth, when Liu Wei grabbed two more pieces and handed them to her.
Looking at the two hubs of meat in Liu Bian's hand, Guan Qing said to Liu Bian with some hesitation: "Your Highness didn't eat ...... either"
"With so much meat, where can this king eat it all!" Pulling Guan Qing's little hand and stuffing the two pieces of meat into her hands, Liu Wei first said with a smile, and then took care of the remaining snake meat in his hand and ate it.
A pit viper, plus bones, doesn't have much meat. By the time the whole snake had eaten, the two of them still felt empty, but they were better than they had been completely hungry before.
Stepping on the bonfire lit for roasting snake meat, Liu Wei led Guan Qing and continued to walk north along the field.
They ran all the way during the night, and they did not remember how far they had traveled, but they always believed that if they marched north, they would eventually find the army stationed outside the city of Lu County.
Shortly after the two left, where they had just lit a barbecue, more than a dozen Yellow Turbans stood beside the ashes with their blades in their hands.
A Yellow Turban soldier squatted down, put his hand on the ashes, turned his head to look at the snake bones thrown on the ground, and said to the more than ten Yellow Turban soldiers standing behind him: "The nearby village has long been deserted, the ashes here are still warm, and the bones on the ground have been newly gnawed and discarded, so the people who have just roasted here must not have gone far......"
"To chase or not to chase?" A Yellow Turban soldier standing in the back heard him say this, and hurriedly asked, "Maybe it's sure that the one who is here is King Hongnong?" ”
"Yes!" The Yellow Turban Army, who was squatting on the ground, nodded, reached out and wiped the place where Liu Wei and Guan Qing were sitting earlier, and said to everyone: "The blood clots left on the ground are thought to be left by the people who barbecued meat. Judging from the dried blood clots, the blood had flowed out at least half a day ago, and half a day ago was not the time when we were waiting to fight with King Hongnong? ”
More than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and the Yellow Turban Army squatting on the ground also stood up, waved to everyone, and said to them: "Go!" Hunt for King Hongnong! ”
The scorching sun rises higher and higher, and as the sun rises, the sunlight becomes more and more intense, and even the wind that sweeps over the fields is sandwiched with a heat wave under the sun exposure.
"The two of us must speed up, if we move at this speed, I am afraid that we will have to wait until night before returning to the barracks!" Walking side by side with Guan Qing, Liu Wei glanced forward, and what appeared in front of him was a scorched yellow land, and he couldn't see the shadow of the city and village at all, so he turned his head and reminded Guan Qing on the side.
Staring at the blazing sunshine, Guan Qing was already covered with sweat. Liu Wei proposed to speed up a little faster, but she didn't object, but took a little more obedient steps.
The two were walking forward quickly, Guan Qing unconsciously turned her head to look behind her, and at the moment she turned her head, she suddenly found that there were more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers who were running towards her and Liu Wei in the distance behind her.
"Someone is catching up!" Seeing the more than ten Yellow Turban soldiers, Guan Qing hurriedly shouted to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei subconsciously turned his head, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen figures running towards them quickly.
Seeing the more than a dozen figures, the first moment Liu Wei thought in his mind was to run. But this thought was only fleeting, and then it was replaced by another thought.
What appeared in his field of vision were only more than a dozen yellow scarves. In Liu Wei's opinion, more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers were not enough to bring him and Guan Qing too much trouble.
"How many can you kill?" Having made up his mind to get rid of the yellow scarf behind him, Liu Wei stopped and asked Guan Qing on the side.
"All of them!" Turning around and glancing at the Yellow Turban Army who came up, Guan Qing seemed to respond a little casually: "It's just a group of soldiers, even if there are one or two more generals, the little girl can be killed." ”
"Then you don't have to run anymore!" Stretching out his hand and drawing his long sword, Liu Wei turned around and faced the more than ten yellow turbans that were chasing them quickly, and said to Guan Qing: "There are only two or three hundred people chasing after the two of us, and one of them is killed." It would be a good thing that they were to divide their forces to find us in this way! ”
Guan Qing nodded, turned around and drew his long sword like Liu Wei, waiting for the more than ten yellow scarves to chase closer.
The more than ten yellow turbans who followed behind the two of them, seeing Liu Wei and Guan Qing stop and turn to face them, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all stopped, looking at the two from a distance.
Although Guan Qing is a daughter, she is quite famous in the Yellow Turban Army. Almost all the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans knew that if she danced a big sword, ordinary Yellow Turban generals, three or two would not be close to her at all, and more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers would be just a group of ants in her eyes.
With fear of Guan Qing in his heart, the Yellow Turban soldier standing at the front turned his head and said to his companions behind him: "Hurry up and light the letter fire, and ask someone to come to help!" ”
