When he woke up the next morning, Dongluo slept very well, but his expression seemed to be extremely eager to sleep for a few more days and nights, full of exhaustion and exhaustion.

The caravan men had already packed their bags and were ready to go. But no one came to wake him up. Not only did he keep his distance from the people of the caravan, but the caravan also kept his distance from him. I seem to be afraid of something. That is, acquiescing to his existence, and also when he does not exist.

Dongluo was also happy about this, originally thought that it was really as Li Mu said, to be a little guy for others, but now it's good, he doesn't have to do anything, and he can eat and drink for free, but no one told him to get up. It's uncomfortable, but it's acceptable.

"Dahei, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Dongluo went to the stream to wash with his misty eyes open. Along the way, one or two caravans would greet them with a smile.

But the caravan men were wary of him, and only nodded slightly before walking away.

In the early spring, there were already a few unknown fallen flowers on the surface of the stream, and they began to circle and float downstream under the chase of the fish. A few stray aquatic plants gently beat the round pebbles under the action of the stream.

The falling flowers are far away, and the swimming fish are gone. The ripples left by the running of the reptiles on the water surface have regained their calmness when there was a sound.

Winter fell and crouched down on a stone that looked relatively stable. Quietly look at the reflection in the water.

The hair is a little long and a little messy. It's not ugly, but it's definitely not handsome, and there is a light red on his face that has been soaked in the cold winter. A light smile pulled the high sky and the white clouds and the bright sun far, far away.

Boom!

The sound of a stone breaking through the water came, the reflection shattered, the water splashed, and the swimming fish that had just gathered cautiously were frightened and fled in all directions.

Dongluo, who was interrupted in thought, raised his head and glared fiercely at the girl who threw the stone at Xiaoxi, and when he saw that the other party was still a little girl, he ignored it and picked a new place to squat down, ready to wash.

The girl was twelve or thirteen years old, with short black and shiny hair, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and still childish. If she laughs, it should be playful. But she didn't, her eyes drooped slightly, her slender eyelashes didn't blink, like a portrait, not a real person.

Dongluo was stunned by her staring, wiped the water stains on her face, and said viciously: "Little girl, if you stare at me again, believe it or not, I will dig up your eyes and throw them in the river to feed the fish." ”

The girl crouched quietly by the stream, not speaking.

Dongluo glanced at the girl sympathetically, and muttered in a low voice, "It can't be a dumb person! ”

Boom!

There was a louder sound of stones falling into the water than before. Dongluo jumped ashore angrily, pointed at the girl opposite and scolded: "Whose bear child doesn't learn well at a young age." If I were your age, I'd have to kill you. ”

The girl finally raised her head, her eyes bright and clear, without any impurities.

Looking at such eyes, Dongluo felt very relaxed, but when he thought of this girl throwing stones at herself for no reason, he felt that such clear eyes were full of malice towards him.

Dongluo snorted coldly and glared at the girl again. He took a thatch core by the stream, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

The caravan set off again. Dongluo watched as the girl clumsily climbed into the tall and noble carriage in the middle of the caravan. Her eyes couldn't help but stare at her, and she also had a certain guess about her identity.

......

......

The warmer the climate is farther south, and it stands to reason that the scenery outside the car window should be more vivid and green, but because the caravan enters the high mountain terrain from the grassland, the grass around the caravan gradually fades into tall trees that greet each other, and the leaves are not yet completely green, still retaining the solemn meaning accumulated from last autumn and winter.

As the temperature between heaven and earth dropped slightly, the caravan slowly walked out of the Hetao Plain, which is known as the granary, and entered the boundary of Mangshan. A tense and depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire caravan, and everyone knew that after Mangshan, it would not be far from Luoyang. As long as they arrive in Luoyang, the caravan will be safe.

In the tense vigilance and search, the convoy walked for several days, and finally arrived at the periphery of Mangshan, looking at the dense forest that covered the sky and the sun, most of the people in the team did not show a worried look like Dongluo, but seemed to be much more relaxed.

Dongluo looked at the eye-catching ink dots just marked on the hand-drawn map, and said: "Da Hei, you also know who they are, they chose to pass through Mangshan from the north, but they don't want to think that the dozens of miles long Beimangshan road is full of dense forests on both sides, and it is very easy to set up ambushes. I don't know if to call them bold or if they're idiots. If you say that they are bold, then why bother with multiple layers of disguise and say that they are idiots...... It's kind of like that. ”

After saying this, he was silent for a moment, put the hand-drawn map into his clothes, shook his head and said, "Da Hei, when we get to Mangshan, we will withdraw." I don't know if it's dangerous to be with them, but I still feel that our lives are more important. ”

"If you are separated from them when you enter Mangshan, what will Xue Yuxin do?" Da Hei asked with some confusion.

When I think of snow, the winter fall is big for a while. Xue Yuxin was the girl by the stream that day. Since that day, whenever the caravan is stationed and repaired, she will get off the expensive carriage and find all kinds of stubble for Dongluo.

Over time, I gradually became familiar with the big black, the second black, and the third black.

"The most important thing is to be alive. Dongluo lowered his head and played with the reins, his movements were slow and forceful, "Our goal is to get to Luoyang alive, you know, there must be a real cultivator in their group, Xue Yuxin is the person who is the center of the caravan to protect, and the others will definitely protect her, but they don't care about our life or death." It's not easy for us to survive, so I don't want to risk our lives with them. ”

Dongluo sighed, perhaps triggering bad memories of his childhood, and felt a big head for Xue Yuxin, a girl who often came to trouble him for no reason, but her essence was not bad.

......

......

When the sun was about to set, Xue Yuxin walked back with a large number of snacks such as dried milk and animal meat. Dongluo took it unceremoniously when he saw it, and then desperately stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Ergouzi, why are you here again, let me tell you, we Sanhei have a position, you bought me, but you can't buy them." ”

The girl Xue Yuxin didn't turn her head to look at him, and said lightly: "I don't like you, don't be close to me." I gave it to you to play with Erhei and Sanhei. And don't call me a second dog in the future, or I'll call my brother to kill you. ”

Dongluo smiled and shook his head, no longer paying attention to Xue Yuxin, and found a piece of grass to lie down, eating the girl's snacks, and watching the sunset in the distance.

Xue Yuxin grimaced at Dongluo lying on the meadow, and then carefully took out a bag of dried meat from his clothes pocket. Lying on the grass, feed the two black and the three black little by little.

Dongluo glanced at Erhei, who was usually cold, but now he was docile and unspeakable. glanced at the girl who was feeding Sanhei with a serious face. After being silent for a moment, he said seriously: "Ergouzi, I know who you are, and you must have a reason for not showing your true identity." We didn't encounter any danger along the way, and that's because we walked in a plain area where you could see the end at a glance. But then enter Mangshan is different, the mountain is high and dense, it is very easy to set up an ambush, and this place is the last stop into Luoyang, if you really want to take the Mangshan North Road, it is very dangerous. ”

"What do you want to do. Xue Yuxin stopped feeding, stared at Dongluo indifferently and said, "Do you want to escape?"

Dongluo shook his head and said, "Running away is not counted, it's just to survive." Even you have to disguise your identity. It can be seen that there is a high probability that even you will not be able to resolve the danger that is coming. I just want to go to Luoyang, and I haven't prepared to accompany you to death. ”

Xue Yuxin frowned slightly, quietly looking at the young man's side face, that childish face looked very ordinary, except for the small dimples that bloomed when he occasionally laughed and the freckles that were not ugly in the sunset, he couldn't find any special place.

"Do you know who we are?"

"I know who you are, but I don't know why you hate me so much. ”

"When did you find out?"

"Actually...... I saw it soon after I got out of Weicheng! After all, the people of Loulan have lived in the desert for a long time, and there are still some differences in the behavior and customs between the people of our Zhou Empire. And that kind of high-ranking temperament is difficult to change. Princess Loulan. Dongluo looked at her and explained seriously.

"Princess Loulan?" Xue Yuxin put the remaining beast jerky on the meadow in front of Erhei and Sanhei, sat beside Dongluo, and said with a wry smile: "The Loulan Kingdom no longer exists, so what is the Princess Loulan?" Some are just poor homeless people. ”

At this moment, Xue Yuxin is not at all like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, nor is she like the girl who threw stones at Dongluo by the stream. It's like a person who has experienced a fire, standing in front of the ruins, looking at the ruins that are still emitting black smoke. A helpless child who knows it's her home, but never goes back.

Dongluo finally got up from the meadow at this time, dusted off the grass clippings on his body, wiped off the green grass juice outside the cotton shirt, laughed after a moment of silence, and was about to comfort a few words, suddenly his ears trembled slightly, the dimples on his cheeks disappeared, and became solemn that he had not seen all the way, and quickly pulled out the special Pu knife made by the Zhou State Border Army from the horseback.

His eyes narrowed solemnly at the undulating mountains at sunset, and his left ear listened carefully to the pulse of the earth.

The caravan was stationed on the meadow outside the northern road of Mangshan, without the shelter of the dense forest, bathed in the last twilight, and it was extremely comfortable in warmth, but at this moment it seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood red.

There was a wind walking through the forest that had just woken up in spring, whistling and whispering, as if there was a ghost crying, Dongluo frowned and looked into the depths of the dense forest, listening carefully to the details of those whining, and suddenly roared loudly: "Enemy attack!"

The murmur in the whispering of the forest wind finally showed its true face, and a snow-white feather arrow struck from the forest like a falcon's lightning, whining and roaring, shooting towards the luxurious carriage in the chariot array!
