Chapter 213, Bitter Drowning and Seeking Shelter, Scorching Sun Dunhuang Autumn (I)

Everyone turned back to the camp and dispersed the berry water plants and red thorns to the soldiers who guarded them, and there were still a lot left, and they could probably be used as food for a day and a half.

The soldiers had been hungry all day, and when they suddenly saw this, their eyes turned green. If it weren't for the darkness of the night, they didn't dare to shout loudly, they were afraid that they would all jump to their feet and cheer. With water and food, the camp swept away the lifeless atmosphere, and after everyone had eaten and drunk enough, the fighting spirit returned, and although most of the six hundred elite soldiers were wounded, and some even lost their mounts and horses, they all seemed to be in good spirits and confident at this time.

Ma Chao arranged for the vigil and the next day's shift, and ordered everyone to go into the humble marching tent early to rest, because the next day's task would be more arduous, and they had to try their best to maintain their strength and seize the time to recover their bodies and energy. His younger brother Ma Tie saw that Qi Han was weak, so he took extra care of him, and even divided a small account with him alone, although it was located on the edge of Kipkou, facing the wind, there would be some cold at night, but Qi Han happened to be not used to living with people, so it was an unexpected joy.

Qi Han took the cotton quilt handed by Jiao Zan and smiled at him and Ma Tie behind him to show his gratitude.

"Good brother!" Ma Tie's eyes lit up, patted him on the shoulder, his eyes flashed with admiration, obviously admiring this person who saved the whole army, and said, "Thanks to you today." Let's go to bed early, and after the cooking is done tomorrow morning, I'll go to the northeast to find water and food. ”

Jiao Zan on the side echoed continuously, just urging Qi Han to fall asleep quickly, and his expression was more respectful and sincere than Ma Tie.

Qi Han nodded and said, "Thank you so much." Brother Ma, Brother Jiao, you are also tired for a day, go and rest. ”

Ma Tie was stunned for a moment, and said quietly: "What do you call me?"

Qi Han was surprised by his suddenly resentful expression, looked at the two of them puzzled, and wondered, "What's wrong?"

Jiao Zan coughed and corrected his mistake: "Ahem, brother, actually...... You're older than our generals...... How do you call him big brother?" Qi Han has a slender figure, broad shoulders and a thin waist, which is completely drawn, because the disguise on his face, coupled with his cold and detached eyes, always gives people a sense of unfathomable, so he looks stable and older.

"That's it, I...... I'm only eighteen this year!" Ma Tie saw that he didn't speak and just looked at himself, for fear that he wouldn't believe it, so he lowered his head in a hurry and muttered, and even the local accent came out, stealing a glance at him.

Qi Han's face twitched, and he looked at Ma Tie in disbelief.

Eighteen years old......

The burly figure that was almost the same height as Jiao Zan, the sallow face that had been through vicissitudes and pimples, and finally met his embarrassed and aggrieved little eyes, Qi Han really felt that he was a little unacceptable......

Well, well, Ma Chao is only twenty-one or twelve years old, and his younger brother is eighteen years old, which is indeed reasonable, but ...... Young man, you are really just a teenager, but you can't help but look too anxious!! no matter how you look at it, you are all uncles in their thirties! Obviously, you are eating the same food, raised by the same water and soil, how can Ma Chao be handsome and unmatched, and his face is like a crown of jade, what about you, why do you look like a big gourd......

Qi Han held his forehead and said tentatively: "That...... I call you Brother Ma?"

Ma Tie straightened his chest, shook his head and said proudly: "You just call me Ma Tie!

Qi Han: Where is "......" domineering, give a thumbs up to your self-confidence.

It was easy to send away Ma Tie and Jiao Zan, the two guys who were smirking and not knowing what to do, Qi Han took off the disguise on his face, lay down, pillowed his right arm behind his head, and quietly looked at the low tent roof.

He felt a little dizzy, obviously because the environment of the past two days was too bad, and he was tired and sick.

But he can't get sick now.

Qi Han's dark black eyes rolled, and after thinking about the situation with the Ma brothers, he was probably sure that these two were not wolf ambitions and murderous people, anyway, they were much better than Yan Xing, Han Sui and the like. is the same Liangzhou soldiers and horses, but the habits of various warlords are completely different, for example, Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and now Han Sui, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Hou Xuanzhi are all completely different styles.

He even deceived and joked today, from a captive to a so-called petty official, in fact, Ma Chao and others didn't mind his arrogance at all, but they still had a certain amount of gratitude to him, otherwise, he would not let Ma Tie take care of himself.

From this point of view, staying in the Ma army is the best choice at the moment.

What's more, these people have a sincere and bold temperament, like is like, disgust is disgust, compared to the Central Plains people's hypocrisy and grievances are much more direct, but more to his temper, so that he has no pressure and feels relaxed.

Qi Han pursed his lips, and his eyes gradually became firm.

He wanted to stay on.

In this case, he can't sit still any longer, he must think of a way to help Ma surpass them and get out of this desert - to get out of here, he must have a head-on confrontation with Yan Xing's army, which is undoubtedly the most difficult level for them who are "running out of ammunition and food", but they must face it.

If you want to escape, sooner or later you will have a battle, and if you don't want to become the meat of the sword, you have to fight against the water! Qi Han looked at the gray-black canopy and squinted.

Before he closed his eyes and fell asleep completely, he frowned and pondered, and his dull head began to run rapidly. 166 Reading Network
