The camp was very quiet, and because the weather was getting hotter, and the prisoners were very obedient after being tamed, so at night they were no longer locked in cages as before, but drew the ground as a circle, and slept in a tent for three or five people.

Summer has arrived, there are countless mosquitoes, rats and ants, and the environment is still harsh, but because of the lack of restraint, people finally feel a little free.

Bai Yan took out the herbs from the basket, cleaned up the mud with the water left over from washing the vegetables, then turned on the fire in the stove, added some firewood to it, and when the fire was lit, he put the herbs on the cooking pot and boiled it.

After a long day of climbing, he was a little hungry, and he rummaged through the dishes, but found nothing to eat, so he sighed, walked back to the stove, and stirred the fire.

He worked with these small groups of hundreds of people every day, sharing weal and worn, and people other than Qin Zhen got along with him all the way, and also trusted him, and everything was based on him, and he became more and more united.

In fact, not all the criminals are traitors, there are too many helpless people in the troubled times to create the current situation, now everyone is in the same boat, it is better to get along in harmony than a plate of loose sand, everyone understands this truth, and they are more and more supportive of the person who is on the same front as themselves.

The pot was churning quickly, Bai Yan removed the fire, slowly simmered over a low fire, and footsteps sounded outside the stove room, followed by a tall figure entering the stove room.

"I knew you were here. Qin Zhen glanced at it, sniffed, and smelled the medicinal fragrance all over the room.

"Didn't eat, well, for you. He took out a few steamed buns from the bottom of the cabinet, and carefully took out a bowl of cold porridge: "This is specially hidden by Brother You for you, it is already cold, but it is hot, so it is not in the way." ”

Bai Yan was a little surprised, Qin Zhen put the steamed buns and porridge on the stove, squeezed him aside and looked at the fire by himself, and said, "Hurry up and eat, don't be known by the dog thief." The big guy heard about you going up the mountain to collect medicine, he doesn't care about our life or death, we have to live on our own. You have done your best for us, and we can't let you go hungry. These steamed buns are all saved by us, so you can eat them quickly. After he finished speaking, he gathered the firewood, but Bai Yan didn't respond, so he looked back, but saw Bai Yan looking at the porridge bowl and was stunned.

"How-"

"It's fine. Bai Yan replied, picked up the steamed bun and ate the gruel that had been cold, and then returned to the stove and asked softly, "Can the sick brothers still hold on?"

Qin Zhen sighed, shook his head, and said: "Soon after you left, the bowl asked people to pull people, except for those who were so sick that they couldn't walk, the rest were taken to the city wall construction site, and five more fell in the afternoon, counting the other places, there are about forty or fifty people who will be isolated at this time." ”

"I went to the mountains today and found a large medicine field, and I will come back tomorrow by picking some more medicine. You give it to the big guys to drink, and I'll boil it right away. ”

"Hey. Qin Zhen responded, helped Bai Yan take the wooden bucket and poured the medicinal juice into it, and then clamped his arms and went out with the bucket.

Bai Yan poured out the medicine residue and changed the pot to continue to suffer, the fire crackled and burned, reflecting his eyebrows, he sat there, and gradually wandered his thoughts.

He hadn't thought about it carefully all along, but he was afraid to recall, so he desperately suppressed himself. But when the child stole the two red scarves from his arms today, he finally thought about everything, wondering why there were two red scarves there at the same time.

Who brought the other red scarf? Was it Flawless's men, or was it the one who slaughtered the town?

No one can give him an answer, and because of this, he will suppress his memories more and more, because there are many pains in his life that are more than he can handle, such as Flawless, White Horse, and his relatives in the Eastern Capital.

Summer will soon pass, after the autumn Changsu will fall into a cold situation, when the spring flowers bloom next year, when everything is calm, he will quietly leave here, whether it is the end of the world, the sky is high and the earth is wide, no matter what he becomes, no matter what flawless he becomes, maybe the road will be far away to a lifetime, even if he is gray-haired, he will definitely find flawless, and return the promise of holding his eyebrows in front of the bamboo building to him. If the flawless is no longer there, he will find his grave and bury him with him, so that in the next life he may be able to make friends with each other and continue the path that has not been completed in this life.

Flawless, if it were you, you must have thought so, right?

A smile rose between his lips, the sweet, painful, sad, and happy everything drowned his body and mind, he thought he could be together for the rest of his life, but he still lost it after trying his best, the lingering neck was taken away after tasting it, and the heart-eroding pain was particularly bone-chilling, it was a kind of raw peeling, and the whole body and mind were eaten away inch by inch.

My heart hurt so much that I couldn't breathe.

Even if you desperately paralyze yourself, this pain is still vivid, how can you not think about it......

How?

Quarantined patients are confined in one place, and no one wants to come here except for one meal a day. Heavy breathing and coughing cuffs down the barking of insects, and the air is filled with a foul and turbid smell that is disgusting.

Qin Zhen had already finished distributing the first bucket of medicinal juice, and at this moment followed Bai Yan to the other side to deliver the medicine.

This is where the sicker offenders are located, and many of them have even given off the smell of rancidity, and mosquitoes are buzzing and circulating, waiting for someone to take their breath and lay eggs to nourish them.

Qin Zhen tore a coarse cloth into two pieces and motioned for Bai Yan to cover his mouth and nose. Bai Yan followed behind him with a bucket, looking at the people curled up in pain in the place, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the lord or the faint king, this kind of life at the bottom is the same miserable, once people lose their humanity, they are really not as good as livestock. How could anyone ever regard them as human beings, they were a harnessed labor when they lived, and when they died, they were just a pile of decay. It is true that people have to pay for their mistakes, but it is better to kill them with a single sword.

"Come, drink the medicine. ”

His chapped lips were half-open and half-closed, and the warm medicinal juice was sent down the throat, so that the already confused person had a greedy desire, he drank it heavily, choked rapidly, but clutched the medicine bowl and refused to let go.

Bai Yan freed up his hand to help him smooth his back, and wanted to speak, but suddenly felt his wrist sink, and then the man sat up and wrapped his arms around his neck and shoulders, and his five fingers were firmly buckled on his back.

"Qin Zhen!" The words that blurted out were still stuck in his throat, and a trace of metallic coolness penetrated into his ribs, and he felt a pain, and then a sword was inserted in his back.

"Let's go!"

A loud shout came from the other end, and Bai Yan turned his head and saw Qin Zhen's red eyes.

Blood gushed like a spring, and after the two swords were drawn, the person who attacked him sneaked back at full speed, Bai Yan gasped, and staggered to his feet and stood still.

He hadn't come to his senses yet, because he didn't understand how anyone in this exiled land had to kill him. He staggered two steps, tore off the cloth covering his face, and tied it to the wound with all his might.

Qin Zhen was pressed under several black shadows, he also didn't understand what was happening, but he knew that these people were not sick prisoners, they were here to kill, they were here to kill the man in front of him. His face was pressed to the ground, the corners of his mouth were pressed to the point of deformation, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence, he could only roar angrily, looking straight at Bai Yan with his eyes.

Bai Yan finally straightened up, looked at the dark curtain of the dragon, and smiled.

"Heh, there are so many people here, and you can afford to look up to me Meng Baiyan, and it is your good ability to get my head, you come one by one, or go together!"
