Don't ask her for a faucet, it's good to have a puddle.

He was thirsty, his throat was blazing, and his stomach was so hungry that he thundered.

The wild boar under his body has rough skin and thick flesh, and is full of mane, and it is a piece of cake to drill thorns, but it is still safe and sound when it comes out.

It had forgotten that it was carrying a man on its back, and arched its pig's nose under the trunk of the tree, happily looking for insects to eat.

"You dead pig can really make an escape route, and I'll eat you tonight. She angrily kicked the boar in the stomach, and the boar was frightened, screamed with a shriek, and ran forward with a jolting ass.

Exhausted, Nangong Douling didn't have enough strength, and wanted to grasp its teeth, but she made a mistake and threw it down, she fell on a gentle slope, her body couldn't stop the car, and she couldn't stop rolling down like a gear.

Fortunately, the hillside was very flat, and there were no raised stones, otherwise she would have broken her head and bleed.

Nangong Douling stopped at the bottom of the hillside, lying face down, feeling so tired that he couldn't get up, and his bones were about to fall apart.

She saw a well erected in front of her, and suddenly she had a little strength, and she tried to drag her body to crawl over, lie down at the mouth of the well, and throw the bucket of water into the bottom of the well.

He sat on the ground with his feet on the stone wall built around the mouth of the well, and pulled the barrel up with all his might.

I didn't care about being out of breath, I buried my head in the bucket and drank water, and the wound on my face touched the water, and it hurt hotly.

A sweet female voice rang in her ears.

"Master Jun, you slow down. ”

Nangong Douling was startled, raised his head and stepped back sharply, holding the soul attraction banner on his waist, ready to pull it out to deal with her at any time.

The peasant girl in front of her frightened her posture, froze in place, and held a clay pot containing corn kernels tightly in her arms.

Nangong Douling glared at her, "Who are you?"

"I'm from the village. ”

"Village?" Nangong Douling looked behind her, and a barren village in the distance was laid out in front of her, "Great, the village is ......"

Nangong Douling let go of the soul flag, and the girl also showed a relaxed smile.

Suddenly, Nangong Douling said vigilantly: "Wait a while, let's make it clear first, are you from Yan or Zhao?"

"This is the border of Zhao and Yan, and there are still two mountains from us. ”

Nangong Douling was completely relieved at this time, she was wearing Zhao Guo's military uniform, and if she entered Yan Guo's village, she would have to skin and serve the villagers.

Nangong Douling stood up on his knees, he was so hungry that he was about to fall.

The girl hurriedly came over to support her body and help her stand firmly, "Master Jun, be careful." ”

Nangong Douling smiled at her, "Thank you, you are so clever, this can also help you, I can't stand the fall anymore." ”

The girl's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head to avoid her gaze.

Nangong Douling stared at the roots of her red ears, not understanding her reaction.

Nangong Douling said, "Can you find me a place to rest?"

"Yes. She nodded, changed the clay pot in her hand to the other side, and held Nangong Douling's back.

Nangong Douling put his arm on her shoulder and walked step by step towards the village.

"Master Jun, what trouble are you in?" the girl asked curiously.

"Hunt and kill. ”

"Is it the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom chasing you?"

"Don't ask about this, it's none of your business. ”

"Oh. The girl said worriedly: "My brother is also a soldier, and he was recently assigned to the battlefield of Iris Pass, and then there is no news." My brother's full name is Song Ren, do you know Master Jun? Can you tell me how my brother is doing?"

"Iris Pass?" Nangong Douling remembered the battlefield full of corpses, "The battle a few days ago suffered heavy casualties, and your brother may not be alive." ”

The girl burst into tears, "My brother is dead?"

"I didn't say that, I mean I'm not sure, 60,000 horses fought until the end of the fight was only about 400 people, and every inch of the mud and sand was soaked red with blood, and your brother's chance of survival was very small. The girl's tears were falling with a clatter.

"Don't cry. Nangong Douling raised his hand to wipe away her tears, "This is not a sure thing, you cried too early, in case he is still alive, it is all undecided." ”

"My brother must not have had that much luck. ”

Nangong Douling wanted to further comfort her, forcibly held back, and couldn't give this girl false hope, if Nangong Douling insisted that her brother was still alive, but in the end she got a notice of death in battle, making the girl empty and happy, such a blow would be even greater.

When she entered the village, the villagers stared at her, and those who dried pickles, fed chickens, chopped firewood, collected clothes, and cut pork at the door of their homes forgot their hand movements.

The girl helped her into a grass hut and made her sit on a stone kang.

A group of villagers gathered in front of the girl's house and poked their heads into it.

"What's wrong with you, what are you doing in front of my house? Is there gold in my house or is there an immortal?" A farmer walked in with a sickle, and saw Nangong Douling sitting on his kang with a surprised face.

"Soldier, what are you doing at my house, are you here to tell me about my son?" said the farmer, anxiously approaching her.

A peasant woman also hurriedly ran in from outside, "I heard that there are soldiers coming?"

More people poured in and asked, "My son is also on the battlefield...... My husband is too...... Is there any news from them......"

It seems that many young strong men here have gone to war.

Nangong Douling looked at these people, and they all mistakenly thought that Nangong Douling had come from the battlefield to deliver the message, and their expressions were both expectant and apprehensive.

She said to everyone, "I am not a messenger, and I do not know the whereabouts of your sons and husbands." ”

The girl said, "Dad, mother, the military master is here to be chased and killed." ”

"Hunt down, hey, this can't be left, if the enemy who pursues him comes to this village, there will be no peace!"

"But this military master is also to protect our Zhao State to fall to such a point, we can't help but be affectionate, just blast him out, it's cold and wolves outside, and it's a dead end for him to go out. ”

"When the time comes, if something happens to the whole village, who of you will be responsible? Anyway, I don't approve of taking him in!"

Everyone talked a lot and couldn't make up their minds.

Nangong Douling didn't speak, she was too tired, lowered her eyelids, and discussed with them casually.

Seeing that she looked weak, the group stopped talking for a while and looked at each other.

"Village chief, come out and say something. ”

Everyone turned to look, and there was a crumpled old man sitting on the threshold, smacking his slender pipe on the ground, he was dressed in plain coarse cloth clothes, and his hands were as cracked as the roots of an old tree.

He filled his pipe with shredded tobacco, re-lit it, and smoked it in his mouth without a word. "Village Chief, are you squeaking?"

"If you don't accept what I say, then I might as well not say it and save some effort. ”
