Chapter 335: Overnight

Yiqiē seems to have settled down, and Yiqiē seems to be waiting for the water to come to fruition, but God just doesn't seem to want to watch Ouyang and Yue go so smoothly.

Su Li left secretly on a dark and windy night, and by the time Ouyang Heyue knew, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Because he was worried that Ouyang Heyue would send someone to chase him, he did not take the big road, but took the remote road.

Although he brought two guards, he still took a certain amount of risk by taking such a remote road.

Now it was getting late, so they had to rest in a small village, and they had almost eaten all the dry food they had brought with them, and there was no big town nearby to replenish them.

Su Li sat on horseback and looked at this small village, which probably did not have more than ten households, sparsely populated, and very lonely.

The guards around him were a little worried, when the sun was setting, it was time to cook dinner, but looking at this village, there were only a few families that made cooking smoke.

"Lord Wang, we might as well take a second look, this village looks too dilapidated. No, let's go find out first?"

The long-faced guard, the first of all, couldn't bear it, and after a whole day's journey, his stomach was empty. The rest of the water was reluctant to drink, and it was given to Su Li, and now they are also very tired.

Despite this, safety first is still their top priority.

Su Li nodded, "Go ahead, don't disturb the people." ”

"Order!"

The other man galloped out on horseback, and soon disappeared into the night.

"Lord Wang, you can get off the horse and rest for a while and drink some water. ”

The red-faced guard jumped off his horse, took the kettle and handed it over, there was not much water left in the kettle, and if they could not find a place to rest, they would probably run out of food.

Su Li took the kettle, frowned slightly, it was so light, it was estimated that the water in it would be drunk in two sips.

He glanced at the guards, his lips were chapped, and then he remembered that the two guards hadn't taken a sip of water all day.

Presumably to save water for him to drink, they all boiled it dry.

He shoved the kettle in front of the guard, "Well, take it and drink it, I'm not thirsty." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, his face was full of panic, "Lord Wang, your subordinates are not thirsty, you can drink." ”

His mouth opened one by one, and the thick smell of blood permeated his mouth, salty, sweet.

His throat shook up and down, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, water, he was already thirsty, but there was only this left, and he didn't know if he could find the water source smoothly, how could he drink the water left for the prince.

"Take it, it's an order. Su Li glared at him, watching him take the kettle tremblingly, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the village, "We'll have a place to rest in a while." ”

The guard's eyes were filled with tears, holding the kettle, and looking at Su Li with a choked voice, but he never dared to drink this saliva.

The more the prince treats him, the more he has to be sincere, he will not drink this water until he is sure that there is a water source.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw the long-faced guard galloping back on horseback, and he shouted from afar, "Sir, you have found a place to stay." In front of it was a village, and only the old people and children were left in the village, and everyone else had gone out. ”

When the red-faced guard heard this, he reached out and grabbed the snow and wanted to send it to his mouth, but stopped at this time.

The imperial concubine specially ordered that this snow should not be eaten, and that if you eat it, you will get sick.

But if the snow melts into water on its own, the water is non-toxic.

He tried to make this snow turn into water along the way, but he had scruples, this water was not naturally formed, but man-made, and he was worried that he would get sick if he drank it, so even if he was very thirsty along the way, he still didn't dare to hit the snow.

Everyone knows that this heavy snow comes and falls strangely, so it must be different from the usual snow.

"Let's go!"

Su Li waved his whip and rode his horse to follow the village.

When they came to the door of a house, the long-faced guard stretched out his hand and patted the door, shouting, "Auntie, we are here to open the door for the trouble of staying overnight." ”

Just now he had already said hello to the old lady of this family, saying that he was going to bring two people over to complain, and the old man's parents were kind and kind, and readily agreed, and were preparing food for them at this time.

I heard that they had been on the road all day, and she also asked her little grandson to boil hot water, preparing for them to take a good bath at night.

"Hey, here we are. ”

The old man opened the door, poked his head out, and saw Su Li and the red-faced guard, she said with a smile, "Ah, this son is extraordinary, why is he so handsome." If I had a daughter, I would let her marry you. ”

"Haha, old man, you have won the prize. Thank you for taking us in and letting us stay overnight. ”

Su Li actually doesn't need to say anything, just like modern times, good-looking people, what kind of card to swipe, just brush your face. Although this old lady is old, everyone has a love for beauty.

A good-looking person, it is pleasing to the eye, and she was happy at first sight for Su Li.

Holding Su Li's hand, he pulled him into the house with a cold greeting.

I had a good chat with the long-faced guard just now, but now I just left him behind.

Su Li sat down at the table and found that a hot meal was already prepared on the table, as well as the three of them, snow-white steamed buns, and he was about to drool when he saw it.

I have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but at this time I was hungry, and when I saw this steamed bun, I felt that it was a delicacy in the world.

"You sit, my aunt will go and get you a pot of wine. She smiled as she entered the inner room, "I left this wine for my son, but he hasn't been back for more than half a year." This snow is falling, and he is out on time. ”

She smiled and took out a wine jar from inside, turned back to the opposite side and shouted, "Xiao Dongzi, go get a few bowls." ”

"Hey, Grandma. ”

The boy's childish voice came from the back room.

"Auntie, your grandson?"

Su Li listened to the child's voice and felt that he should also be a clever child.

"Yes, my grandson, very naughty. ”

The old man sat down at the table as he spoke, "But I'm just this grandson, no matter how naughty he is, I can't blame him, after all, his father and mother are not around." I'm a grandmother, and if I don't treat him well, he's not too pitiful. ”

"Yes, children are naughty and naughty, as long as they are sensible. ”

Su Li should be reconciled, they can still ask a four or five-year-old child to do something, it is a child's nature to be naughty.

"Xiao Dongzi, hurry up and bring the bowl over to eat, there are guests, you are shy and hiding. ”

The child refused to come out for a long time, and Su Li felt that he was shy and afraid of giving birth.

"Hey, Grandma. ”

The child promised, but he didn't come out.

: Uncle passed away, and suddenly felt that life was fragile and vulnerable, and that human life was short enough to pitch up. Love, please love deeply, true love. This life is too short for us to regret it with half a life. (To be continued.) )
