Chapter 8: The Return
However, the thought passed in a flash. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the situation in front of her, but she couldn't afford to think about it, sharpening wooden nails and beating the wolf, that was an urgent need.
With the close cooperation of the two, the wolves were finally beaten to pieces and fled in all directions. On the green grass, the wolves that left a place, and those who did not lose their breath were also mended by the two.
Wolves are the most cunning animals, and playing dead is a major skill, and many inexperienced people will be deceived by wolves. Then, wait for the moment to deliver a heavy blow.
Facing the wolves all over the ground, Dongfang Huajin sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Ci glanced at her distressedly, walked over, and took off the water hyacinth hanging on her body, as well as the water bladder that the two of them immediately blamed. He raised his feet and went to the stream more than ten feet away, took out the cloth he used to wash his face, and carefully washed his face and hands. He picked up the clear and clean stream water and drank a few sips beautifully, and then filled a few water hyacinths and water bladders with water.
He took out a brand-new cloth and scrubbed it carefully, wring it half-dry. walked in front of Dongfang Huajin, handed her the handkerchief, and said with concern: "This place can't stay for a long time, wipe your face, eat dry food, let's go!" ”
Dongfang Huajin finally relieved, didn't pick up his handkerchief, stood up, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'll go to the stream to wash up, this place really can't stay for a long time, go out a few miles and stop to eat dry food!" ”
It's a pity that there are sixty or seventy wolves in this place. If you peel off all the wolf's skins, you don't know how much silver there is, not a hundred taels, but sixty or seventy taels! A wolf skin for a tael of silver, that is definitely there, this is the most conservative estimate!
Song Ci stood aside, capturing her appearance as a wealth fan, and couldn't help but be secretly amused. This little girl, I didn't expect it, she is still a little money fan. However, even such a little girl who is obsessed with money can donate tens of thousands of taels of silver and the priceless secret recipe to the military camp without blinking an eye.
Such a degree of confidence, such an extraordinary, it is almost impossible not to be deeply infatuated! Such an oriental grass, no, she said it herself, she has changed her name, called Oriental Painting Brocade!
Painting brocade, painting brocade? Work hard, through your own hands, draw a happy and splendid life?
I don't know why, he trusts her very much, and feels that she can definitely show a beautiful picture of life with her own ability.
The two of them quickly left, and came to a place five miles away, and stopped under a large tree in the middle of the vast grassland. This large grassland, as far as the eye can see, is sparse with more than a dozen trees. However, miraculously, this tree is so big that two people can hold it.
Not far from the big tree, there is a small clear stream that meanders by.
Song Ci tied the horse to the huge roots of the big tree that were exposed to the ground, went to the small stream to wash his face, drank a few sips of water, and said to Dongfang Huajin: "You have a good rest here, if there is a beast coming, you can hurry up the tree." I'll go to the woods over there, hunt some pheasants and hares, and I'll be back soon! ”
Song Ci pointed in the direction to the west.
Dongfang Huajin smiled and nodded: "Be careful, those wolves may attract a large number of fierce beasts, if you encounter them, don't worry, go up to the trees and hide well, don't worry about me!" ”
After speaking, he took out a clean small cloth bag from his backpack: "Here are a few pancakes, you bring them just in case, and the water hyacinth also brings one!" He simply took out a small water hyacinth from his backpack and handed it over.
Actually, it's digging out of the space. The pancakes and water were prepared by her own at home in Cuizhuwan. The water and the vegetables used to make the pancakes are all produced by the space.
Song Ci actually had a water hyacinth hanging on his body, but he still happily took it, smiling very brightly: "Thank you!" You also have to be careful, if I haven't come back for a long time, don't worry. Don't go look for me, just stay in the tree and wait for me to come back! ”
He firmly believed that with his martial arts and wisdom, even if he encountered danger, he should be able to return safely. It's just a matter of time. The tree in front of him is so lush that it is against the sky, and he believes that with the martial arts and calmness of the Oriental Painting, even if an enemy finds it, as long as she finds it in time, it is hidden in the branches of the treetops first, and the possibility of being found by the enemy will not be very great.
Even if you are discovered, as long as the number of people is small, there is no need to worry. Her "wooden nail tactics" are not something that ordinary people can deal with! Those Hu people, that is, the equestrian skills are a little stronger, and the people are a little tougher. There are not many real martial arts masters.
And Huajin's martial arts seem to be not much different from him. can be regarded as a martial arts master. The only drawback is that her light skills are enough, and she seems to have only learned a little bit of skin.
However, perhaps because he cared about her too much, he only walked a few steps, and his heart suddenly twitched. Frowning, he turned and went straight to the two horses, quickly removed the bag from the horse, and let the horse go. Stretched out his hand to pat his mount, and told him solemnly: "Don't run too far, if there is danger, remember to hide!" ”
The mount raised his head and shouted, as if in response to his words, and ran happily towards the stream. The horse of the Oriental Painting Brocade also ran away happily.
Song Ci lifted the two burdens, jumped lightly, went up to the treetops, and hid the burden in the branches. With a light jump, he landed firmly in front of the Oriental Painting Brocade, and explained softly: "Let go of the horse, if someone comes, you can hurry up the tree." That way, it's much safer! ”
If the horse is left under the tree, the visitors will be suspicious, and they will have to search the whole tree.
Dongfang Huajin's heart was warm, and he showed a very bright smile: "Thank you, Brother Song!" ”
This is the first time she has called him Brother Song, and it is also the first time that she has been so close to him. Before, he always gave him a feeling of "more than polite, not enough close".
Song Ci's heart was sweet, he opened his arms, jumped up with his feet, and rose into the air. A gray dress flew up, like a gray geese, and disappeared from the sight of Oriental Painting in an instant.
What a handsome kung fu! Awesome! It's amazing!
Oriental Painting Brocade couldn't help but be stunned.
Song Ci's worries are really not superfluous.
Just after he left, before he could make a cup of tea, Dongfang Huajin heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves. Judging by the judgment, there were at least twenty or thirty people, maybe more. Moreover, it was no more than two miles away from where she was.
Dongfang Huajin's face changed, and he hurriedly climbed up to the treetops as fast as he could, hiding among the thickest branches and leaves. By the way, I still had a bad hand, broke some branches and leaves, quickly knitted a hat, and put it on my head. I chose the most comfortable position, sat firmly on the branches, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and tried not to make any sound.
Soon, the whole grassland was rendered by flying dust.
The one who came was a very strong Hu man, with no less than fifty people!
Moreover, at first glance, it is a soldier of the Hu people! There are five or six of them, who should be martial arts masters, or the kind that is very powerful.
Oriental painting brocade saw this scene through the leaves, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back. She alone would definitely not be able to beat these people, but fortunately, Song Ci let the horse go. Otherwise, she probably won't have time to untie the horse's reins before she will appear in the enemy's sight!
She has a little more affection for the cautious and careful Song Ci.
O benefactor!
The Hu people wandered around the big tree for a long time, chattering, and didn't know what to say. In the end, he left with an unwilling face.
After Song Ci entered the forest, he quickly beat five hares, five pheasants, and one muntjac. Just as he was about to leave the mountains and forests, he suddenly looked up and found that Hu Ren was galloping on horseback.
He hurriedly returned the way he came, and walked deep into the mountains for more than a quarter of an hour, and then found a small leeward valley. And by the brook he had put some mud on it, and wrapped the hares, pheasants, and muntjac in mud, and plucked a few broad leaves, and tied them with pliable thatch. Then, a bonfire was lit, and when the wood was almost burned, the pheasants, hares, and muntjac were buried in the ashes. And he put up a shelf of wood on top of it, and burned it thoroughly, so as not to make a big smoke.
Without dense smoke, the enemy would not have noticed.
While waiting, he sneaked to the edge of the forest again, keeping a close eye on the enemy's movements, so as not to be in any danger to the Oriental Painting. Finally, seeing that the enemy was gone, he hurried back, took the food that had been cooked, and walked quickly back to the bottom of the tree.
Dongfang Huajin had already seen him, and once again carefully observed it with a telescope, and there was indeed no trace of the enemy in his sight. She jumped down with confidence this time, and when she saw that he was doing well, she felt a lot more relieved.
"It's good for you to come back, there are dozens of Hu people just now, this place is not suitable for staying longer." Dongfang Huajin looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of concern.
Song Ci nodded: "It's really not appropriate to stay here, let's quickly wash our hands, eat a pheasant or hare by ourselves, and then leave quickly!" ”
The enemy has just left, and he will not come back for a while, and there is still time to eat a pheasant. Moreover, in this grassland, it is not easy to meet a small stream. Eat a hare here, wash your hands and face, and drink some water.
The two sat opposite each other on the grass by the stream, and could see behind each other. In this way, you can prevent people from sneaking up on you from behind.
Song Ci reminded: "Oriental girl, this may be the last source of water, you also have to be mentally prepared!" ”
Oriental Painting Brocade: "Okay, I know, thank you Brother Song for reminding me!" ”
With the spiritual spring space, the water in her water hyacinth will never be able to drink it all.
Anyway, the backpack she was carrying was big enough to contain seven water hyacinths. However, only one was filled with water. In the Lingquan space, dozens of water hyacinths filled with Lingquan water were placed, and every time she wanted to drink water, she temporarily swapped them from the space.
Song Ci's face was full of seriousness: "It's good that you are prepared, if you go for another day, you will enter the desert in the east!" After speaking, a melodious whistle sounded in his mouth, and his mount Fengyun quickly ran back with the horse of the Oriental Painting.
Along the way, there were many hardships, and there were several sandstorms and tornadoes. Song Ci is very experienced, strong and wise enough, and under his protection, the two have repeatedly turned danger into disaster.
Finally, after going through hardships, in a dry riverbed, I found Dongfang Qi'an. At this moment, he curled up in a ball, his eyes misty, and his whole body was hot. At first glance, it is caused by a lack of water and food, and a contract with wind and cold, which is caused by many factors. One day late, Da Luo Immortal, it is estimated that he will not be able to save him!
Although he was very embarrassed, the Oriental Painting Brocade was miraculous and recognized him at a glance.
Her tears, unexpectedly, fell.
"Daddy!" She flew over, quickly took out the water hyacinth, and with the help of Song Ci, poured several mouthfuls of Dongfang Qi'an. Taking advantage of Song Ci's inattention, he stuffed a melt-in-the-mouth pill into Dongfang Qi'an's mouth. This was when he was on that tree in the grassland, and the system gave away a large gift package, in which there were two pills, which were specially given for the situation of Dongfang Qi'an.
Dongfang Qi'an was in a daze, swallowed a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water, and ate a life-saving pill. After a cup of tea, I finally opened my eyes, and my daughter Xiaocao's worried little face appeared in sight.
"Grass? Is that you? His voice was weak and hoarse, like a dream, and his face was full of disbelief.
At this moment, Song Ci was standing aside, spreading a piece of clothing with both hands, creating a piece of shade for Dongfang Qi'an. The branch hat of the Oriental Painting Brocade was also brought on the head of the Oriental Prayer.
"Yes, Daddy, I'm Xiaocao!" Dongfang Huajin cried with joy, and hurriedly responded: "Daddy, Brother Song and I are here to take you home!" ”
Song Ci also hurriedly said: "Uncle Dongfang, it's good for you to wake up, drink some water, eat something, and let's go home!" ”
Dongfang Huajin helped his father to sit up, fed him several sips of spiritual spring water, and gave him a piece of fluffy pancake.
Dongfang Qi'an's spirit looked much better, so Song Ci helped him onto his mount, and the three of them hurried all the way to the barracks.
This time, after only two days of walking, I met the remaining nine members of the team in the desert.
When Yue Qin saw the three of them, he immediately cried with joy, his face was full of guilt, and he choked up: "Uncle Dongfang, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay!" ”
At this moment, he was very embarrassed, with many wounds on his body, and his lips were frighteningly dry. The voice was hoarse. For the other eight people, the situation is similar. However, they didn't even give up looking for Dongfang Qi'an, and they didn't give up looking for her and Song Ci.
Dongfang Huajin's heart was very moved, and it was also sour, and he couldn't help but redden. She took out three water hyacinths and handed them to Yue Qin and the other two: "Drink saliva, you have worked hard, thank you for not giving up!" I will keep it in mind, thank you very much! ”
After speaking, the Oriental Painting Brocade bowed deeply to everyone.
On the way back, it was not very peaceful, and then there was finally no danger. After paying the price of five minor injuries, he finally returned to the barracks safely.
The entire barracks was suddenly boiling!
The marshal and the military advisor couldn't help but burst into tears.
I'm back, and I'm finally back safely!
Dongfang Huajin stayed in the barracks for a few days, and when he saw that the well didn't even have a railing, he couldn't help frowning slightly. Anyway, I was bored to be idle, so I made a well fence and a wheel. In this way, it is much easier to fetch water, and those who are injured can easily bring up the water without having to ask others for help.
When everyone looked at her, they became much more eager.
This oriental painting brocade is really a strange woman! Whether it is in terms of bearing, heart, pattern and temperament, it is a first-class good!
Looking at the extremely humble barracks, Dongfang Huajin couldn't help but sigh deeply.
In such a military camp with no defensive power, even the wolves can't stop it, let alone the very fierce Hu people. Her father still has to stay in this barracks for I don't know how many years, and the eldest brother has turned eighteen years old, and if he is recruited again next time, the eldest brother will not be able to escape.
The military service system of Cuiguo cannot be replaced by silver money, and you must serve for at least five years. In the future, when her younger brother grows up, he will definitely not be able to escape military service. And the people of Shuixian County, six or seven times out of ten, will join the army at the border pass called Hukouling.
Therefore, this military camp called Hukouling, she must make another effort!
In the past few days, she has been wandering around and found a nice place. Just about three miles from the barracks, there was a very suitable place----- with a cliff in the back, a small river three meters wide in front, lush mountains and forests on the left, and a large open field on the right.
Between the creek and the cliff, about the size of two football fields, built into a military camp, the area is large enough. Moreover, this terrain is very good, you only need to build a high wall on the right side, and the basic defense capability is there! As for the mountains and forests on the left, Dongfang Huajin thought about the rows of big trees with thick bowls, and had a good idea in his heart.
And the small river in front, as long as you dig a little deeper, dig a little wider, and that's pretty much it. By the way, you can also sharpen a large number of spiky wooden sticks and stick them in the river. In this way, whether it is a fierce beast or an enemy, if you want to cross the river and sneak attack, I believe that before the battle starts, you will inevitably have to pay a heavy price.
Moreover, the terrain of this place is relatively high, so even if the river is swollen, it will not be a big problem. Besides, she can also overhaul the river embankment and build it high. Once a year, the creek is dug deep to remove the sediment so as not to clog the riverbed.
Of course, just in case, you can also dig one or several large fish ponds in the lower reaches of the small river, two or three miles from here. These fish ponds are naturally used to raise fish, improve the lives of soldiers, and can also be used as a good place to discharge floods when there is a big flood.
On this day, the marshal and the military adviser happened to be very idle, sitting on the grass in front of the military tent drinking tea and chatting.
