When Mei Ru woke up, she found that she was crooked, lying there asleep, and her body was properly covered with a quilt.

After a pause, she quickly sat up.

There was no one in the house, and Mei Ru got off the kang and put on her shoes. She has walked too much in the past few days, her legs are sore and her feet are painful, and she still has to worry about Yichan and Jingqin, the two big girls, I don't know what happened to them. After sitting there and sighing, Mei Ru walked out of the room. The house where they stayed that day had an earthen yard, and the lady didn't know what to boil in the stove room next to her, and the smell drifted by, Mei Ru was a little hungry, and she walked over to buy some food.

The first time the lady saw Mei Ru, her eyes involuntarily fell on her lips. There was a wound on that red lip, which Fu Zhengfa bit hard last night. Now that she was being looked at like this, the pain of being bitten spread from her lips again, and Mei Ru's body stiffened, as if something had touched her earlobe, rough and trembling.

She turned her face away uncomfortably, but she happened to meet Fu Zheng's eyes.

He came back early in the morning from nowhere, wearing the Chu-colored robe of a Xiqiang man, and he was dressed like a strange person.

The two looked at each other, and all the things that happened last night came to mind, especially the pain in the lips...... Mei Ru was slightly embarrassed.

Fu Zheng called her calmly: "Aru, come here." ”

In front of outsiders, Mei Ru suppressed her embarrassment, and then slowly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

When he arrived, Fu Zheng didn't say a word, only firmly clasped her arm and went to the house. Mei Ru was taken aback, secretly thinking that this person was still used to using her hands, she glared angrily, and Fu Zheng glanced back. Mei Ru was suspicious in her heart, and looked back-

But she didn't see anything, but the person had been dragged into the room by Fu Zheng, Mei Ru wrinkled her brows, and her face was depressed. Fu Zheng didn't say much, only said coldly: "I'm just afraid that there are chasing soldiers!" ”

Mei Ru's heart was shocked: "Chasing? She listened intently for a while, but couldn't hear anything, and seeing Fu Zheng's solemn face, she didn't waste time and hurriedly packed up her things.

They don't have many things, except for dry food, the most important thing is Fu Zheng's injury medicine. The dagger last night was still pressing next to the pillow at this moment, and Mei Ru hurriedly took it and handed it to Fu Zheng. Fu Zheng didn't answer, but only commanded in a low voice: "You keep it for self-defense." After a pause, the man's dark eyes looked at Mei Ru deeply, sinking like a fog that could not be removed from his heart, Fu Zheng said coldly: "Remember to point the tip of the knife at outsiders, not at yourself." "His voice was cold, cold to the extreme, making people palpitate.

Mei Ru was stunned for a moment, and just asked, "Then what should you do?" The two of them had a total of this dagger, Fu Zheng gave it to her, of course he didn't have a sharp weapon to deal with, not to mention, this person was also injured.

Fu Zheng just said, "It doesn't matter to me. After he finished speaking, he continued to remind Mei Ru: "If you encounter anything on the road, you have to remember the way back...... he told Mei Ru the route carefully, and several fortresses along the way emphasized it again, and finally, Fu Zheng looked at Mei Ru's eyes and asked solemnly: "Do you understand?" ”

His eyes were firm, Mei Ru looked at it and nodded.

The two immediately hit the road.

Outside, the sky is high and wide, very empty, and the withered yellow mountains are continuous, Mei Ru can't distinguish the direction at all, and she is dizzy, so she can only follow Fu Zheng closely at this time. He didn't care about the injury, and only led Mei Ru to a safe place quickly.

It was only at this time that Meiru faintly heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves. The sound of the horse's hooves was extremely fast, and it was carried by the wind, like a rapid drum beat on the battlefield, and every step stepped on the tip of the heart, like abuse, and the string on the heart had to be wound one more. Mei Ru's palms were dripping with cold sweat. Coming along with the wind, there was the occasional whistle, sharp and piercing. Meru had seen the march and battle, and knew that this was their signal to each other.

"Seventh Master, not our people?" Mei Ru asked.

"It's not!" Fu Zheng replied coldly. Xu Shi noticed that his tone was too cold, and he was silent, and he turned around to comfort Mei Ru: "This chasing army is less than twenty people, don't worry too much." Even if we meet, you and I are still pretending to be husband and wife, and if they are suspicious, you just need to remember the route I told you. ”

The man's voice was calm, Mei Ru looked at him in a daze, and Fu Zheng had already turned his head and took her away in the direction. The figure of the man in front of him was thin and sharp, and the sound of the horse's hooves chasing his life was getting closer and closer, Mei Ru's heart sank, and he only held the dagger in his hand.

The two didn't know how far they went, and suddenly, Fu Zheng in front of him paused, he lowered his eyes and listened quietly for a moment, and said to Mei Ru: "Don't go too fast." ”

Mei Ru was still panting all the way, and at this time, she listened to his instructions to slow down and secretly calm down.

After a while, a small group of Xiqiang officers and soldiers came from behind, uniformly wearing yellow-brown uniforms, with a Pu knife pinned to their waists, and their eyes shining brightly in the sun. Mei Ru glanced back, and her face turned a little nervously pale. In the next moment, Fu Zheng next to her held her hand. Mei Ru's palms were full of cold sweat, and now she was wrapped in the man's big palm, and Mei Ru barely felt more at ease.

The officers and soldiers chased after them, and when they passed by, they naturally interrogated them as usual.

Fu Zheng and Mei Ru greeted these officers and soldiers, and they still said according to the original rhetoric of returning to their hometowns to visit relatives. This time, their interrogation was much more careful than that of the guards at the city gate, and it was troublesome. Fortunately, Mei Ru has read the books here and knows a thing or two about Xiqiang customs and customs, and now she can barely cope with it.

One person interrogated, and the eyes of the others kept wandering over the faces of the two. They saw that Mei Ru was articulate and her voice was strangely good, and the eyes of those people couldn't help but stop for a while on Mei Ru's face. After Mei Ru's facial features are opened, her eyebrows and eyes are always dotted with gorgeous colors, even if she is gray now, she can't hide the beauty of the morning glow reflecting the snow and the peach blossoms.

The men were red-eyed. Naked brushed over, Mei Ru was not very comfortable, lowered her head, Fu Zheng naturally protected her behind him. They couldn't see Mei Ru, so they looked at Fu Zheng coldly. Restraining the evil qi around him, Fu Zheng now looks just a weak scholar, his body is thin, his hands are powerless, and his face is still a little unnaturally pale.

The others didn't care, only the leader glanced at Fu Zheng again, twisted his eyebrows, but didn't say anything else, only led these people forward.

After they left, Mei Ru poked her head out from behind Fu Zheng and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fu Zheng lowered his eyes and glanced at her, that face was pretty, smart and charming, and he really couldn't hide it.

"Seventh Master, we ...... now" Mei Ru didn't finish speaking.

Fu Zheng raised his hand to stop her, listened attentively for a moment, and his face sank. He didn't speak, let alone explain, just hugged Mei Ru and quickly swept to the side.

Mei Ru knew that she was only afraid that those people before would be suspicious, so she didn't say a word at this time, just hoping that she wouldn't drag her feet.

Fu Zheng was seriously injured, half-hugging and half-hugging Meiru all the way, and he was still walking fast under his feet. It was bare everywhere and there were no trees, so Fu Zheng put Mei Ru in a cave. The cave was full of dry mud, and there were some messy paintings carved on the cave walls, and Mei Ru didn't have time to look at it, so she quickly helped the man to sit down.

Half of his clothes were already sticky, and as soon as Mei Ru touched it, she knew it was blood.

Lift the man's shirt -

Fu Zheng's wound really burst open. He was wounded in the shoulder, and the whole arrow feather ran through it, and it was still quenched with poison. It should have been completely immobile, but if you exert yourself, that's it. Now that this is repeated, his wounds will not heal at all.

Mei Ru saw it in her eyes, and her two moon eyebrows raised slightly.

Fu Zheng closed his shirt indifferently, and he sat there cross-legged, slowly adjusting his breath.

The cave was quiet for a while, Mei Ru's heart was pounding, and soon, there was some squirming next to her, and there were bursts of hissing sounds, which seemed to be close to the ears, and they brushed the tips of their hearts for a while, making people tremble, it was really like a life talisman.

Mei Ru tightened, she pulled out the dagger and held it tightly in her hand, at this time, Fu Zheng opened his eyes, his eyes were faint, and he couldn't see any emotion, he explained to Mei Ru: "Aru, you are here, I'll go out and take a look." ”

Mei Ru hurriedly said, "Seventh Master, don't go!" "I'm afraid I'll die when I go out.

Fu Zheng still said lightly: "I'm not in the way, it's not a good way to hide all the time." He got up, straightened his robe, and walked out. The blood on that side oozed out, dark and dull, and it was a little unbearable to look at directly. Mei Ru chased after him and stubbornly handed him the dagger: "You take the dagger with you." Fu Zheng paused, he turned his head, looked at Mei Ru fixedly, and still insisted on saying, "Aru, you keep your defense." ”

After being silent, Fu Zheng said in a deep voice: "If I can't come back, you are so clever, go back by yourself." If I can come back, I will come to you. ”

At this moment, Mei Ru's heart was a little uncomfortable.

The man's movements were crisp and neat, and he was never dragged in the mud and water, but after a moment of trance, he walked out and saw no one again.

Mei Ru froze, subconsciously wanting to chase after her, but she paused again.

There was a dull grunt outside. The sound seemed to come out of his throat, it was the desperate movement after being covered with his mouth and nose, and accompanied by the sound of his feet kicking the ground indiscriminately, and that sound, just outside the cave, from rapid to slow, and finally completely without movement.

A man died outside, not far away.

Mei Ru was stunned there, and she couldn't help but shiver. She stared at the mouth of the cave, and no one returned, and no one passed.

She held the dagger in her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally sat down against the cave wall.

She leaned against the wall, and could hear very light footsteps outside, cautiously, farther and farther until she could no longer be heard.

That should be Fu Zheng, he was smothering one person outside just now, and now he has to deal with the other one. There were about 20 officers and soldiers in this team, and he was seriously wounded, his shoulder was still bleeding, and he did not know if he would be able to come back alive.

Mei Ru sat there in a daze with her eyes down.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the birds flying outside, the neighing of horses, and the sharp whistle from time to time brushing my ears, which was very powerful.

But Mei Ru didn't hear it, she just lowered her eyes and watched the golden crow fall at the entrance of the cave, falling a narrow shadow. The shadow slowly moved with the sun, slowly from east to west, without stopping for a moment. Mei Ru looked at it in a daze, and she didn't know how long it was, she just sat there. In the end, the shadow became fainter and lighter, and it became shallower and shallower, until the sun waned, and the outside was completely dark, and Fu Zheng had not come back yet!

Mei Ru's heart was beating suddenly, she was flustered, she held the dagger and quietly walked outside.

As soon as she arrived at the mouth of the cave, Mei Ru bumped into a dead man and was lying there in a daze, her face was pale, her eyes were even more round, and she didn't bat at death!

She was startled, only to feel that the wind was swishing, and it was easy to walk over with courage, with the help of the starlight, Mei Ru found that she didn't know this person, and his official uniform had been stripped off, and the Pu knife on his waist was gone, it was estimated that he was touched by Fu Zheng, but this person did not come back.

Somehow, Mei Ru suddenly thought of what he said when he was leaving, if I can come back, I will definitely come to you...... She was a little tired, and now she just stood there, looking up at the distance.

The mountain is empty, bare, and there is no one in sight.

If Fu Zheng is dead......

With this thought, Mei Ru blinked, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Standing silent for a while, gathering all her feelings, Mei Ru returned to the cave. She thought that if Fu Zheng didn't come back this night, she would go on the road alone tomorrow.

The night here was extremely cold, and those cold and biting winds were drilling through the cave, and Mei Ru was curled up there with her legs in her arms, unable to sleep at all, she was in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the cave, and the heavy footsteps of the horse-puller, step after step, walking very slowly. Mei Ru didn't move, just quietly clenched the dagger. She was hidden in the shadows, staring out with a pair of eyes stunned.

Outside, it was a cold, gray moonlight, and she kept watching, and then, a thin, sharp figure appeared there.

It's Fu Zheng!

By the moonlight, the blood on this man's robe became darker and heavier. From afar, Meiru could smell blood. And his dark eyes were also red, like a man from hell, walking on the ground with a chill and full of evil energy. He was still carrying a simple knife in his hand, and it was full of blood, drop by drop.

Mei Ru walked over and looked up at the man.

Glancing at her with heavy eyes, Fu Zheng ordered: "I left a horse outside and will go on the road tomorrow." As for what was going on outside, he didn't say a word.

Mei Ru nodded.

Fu Zheng threw the knife outside, he walked in slowly, walking very slowly, and then leaned against the cave wall and sat down slowly.

Seeing that he was already barely supporting, Mei Ru hurriedly supported him and asked, "Seventh Master, are you injured?" ”

"It's fine." Fu Zheng said tiredly.

After being silent for a while, Mei Ru said with some concern: "I'll help you see the injury?" ”

Turning his eyes to look at her, Fu Zheng rarely curled the corners of his lips and smiled, he said, "It's not in the way." And he said, "I will rest for a while." "He is really at the end of the crossbow, he can't support it anymore, and Fu Zheng doesn't know how he got here, how he got back here. Just by seeing her, he seemed to understand everything, he was reluctant to let this person go.

Fu Zheng lay down and blinked weakly.

saw Mei Ru put the extra two clothes on his body, and it was rare to have a little warmth and thoughtfulness.

She sat next to her, looking down at him, but her eyes were still frank, and this frankness was cold, or rather, she looked at him, more like a compassionate bodhisattva who pitied him.

Fu Zheng slowly closed his eyes, his body was a little cold, the pain in his shoulder seemed to have been numb from the pain now, all his blood was slowly flowing in his body, this was his little remaining strength and warmth, and it passed quietly in such a night.

Fu Zheng fell into a deep sleep like this, dazed and groggy.

When he regained consciousness, his ears were quiet, there was no superfluous movement, as if there was no one, he could barely concentrate his thoughts, and he could not hear the sound of horses outside...... Fu Zheng's heart jumped, he quickly opened his eyes, only to see that the sky was bright outside, and the cave was empty, where was there anyone? Mei Ru is not there, there is one less baggage, and even the horses outside are gone!

Mei Ru is - thought he was dead, left him behind?

Fu Zheng sat there in a daze, leaning against the cold cave wall, and suddenly felt a trace of bitterness in his heart. She should have left him, he was a half-dead person, and now he was afraid that he would not be able to move an inch, how could she take care of him? It's better for her to go back alone, she can live one by one, not to mention, she has always hated him, even if he does everything for her, even if he is lighter than her, this person will not look at him more.

Thinking like this, the bitterness in Fu Zheng's heart became stronger and stronger, and his whole eyes darkened, and they became more and more sour. His heart hurts, and this pain is worse than a knife, like Ling Chi.

Fu Zheng leaned there in a daze, his mind dazed, and his face was like ashes.

Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of horses outside, which swept past his ears, and Fu Zheng raised his eyes. Suddenly, I saw a person hurrying in, against the light, but it was a petite figure, tall and tough. The man took three steps and made two steps, squatted down in front of him, took off his baggage, and said, "Seventh Master, you are awake, I went to find some water and dry food." She said again: "I ran too fast yesterday, and the dry food fell ......" Mei Ru still had to say something, and the next moment, she was embraced by this man!

Fu Zheng hugged her tightly, and his body was still trembling slightly.

The bodies of the two people were so close that the tremor made Mei Ru want to tremble. She stopped there, Fu Zheng's face was buried in her neck socket, he just hugged her, hugged her firmly, and didn't say a word.

He thought that Mei Ru had left him and left, but he didn't expect that she was still there.

The eyes that were as cold as a cold pool suddenly flashed with some tide, which was an unprecedented strangeness, and even the tip of the heart was snaking with an indescribable sourness. He couldn't do anything but hold her.

Mei Ru was stunned, paused, raised her hand and patted Fu Zheng's shoulder frankly.

Her openness made Fu Zheng's embrace more and more pathetic.

Fu Zheng let go of his hand, there was no extra love in his eyes, he only said lightly: "Let's go on the road." ”

"Now?" Mei Ru was surprised.

Fu Zheng said "um", got up with the help of the cave wall, and explained with a gloomy face: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave as much as possible." If it was bright today, Mei Ru found that the robe on his body had countless knife wounds, broken wounds, and dull blood. Mei Ru took out a piece of clothing from her baggage and said, "Seventh Master, you change your clothes." ”

Fu Zheng still said "um", he was a little unsteady on his feet, Mei Ru wanted to help him, Fu Zheng waved his hand lightly, and he turned his back.

……

Now that they have horses, they are much faster.

Fu Zheng's serious injury has not healed and new injuries have been added, he has no strength, this way Meiru rode a horse, Fu Zheng didn't say a word, just leaned on her neck socket, closed his eyes and rested. Only occasionally open your eyes to identify the lower position. Mei Ru is also frank and lets him lean on. She is frank and open, and she doesn't care about anything else.

The two of them galloped all the way to the east, traveling for about dozens of miles, and this time they heard the faint sound of horses' hooves, which was still scary when they came along the wind. Fu Zheng only killed dozens of officers and soldiers yesterday, and this time he was afraid that he would get more people!

Mei Ru paused for a moment and grabbed the reins of the horse. Fu Zheng had also heard it, and he slowly straightened up, his face solemn. After listening intently for a while, Fu Zheng said lightly: "It's okay, my own people." ”

When Mei Ru heard this, she was overjoyed, and she tilted her head and smiled: "Really? ”

Her smile was so bright, so close, there was still a wound on her lip flap from his bite, the wound was conspicuous, and I didn't know if she was in pain, Fu Zheng looked at it fixedly, and suddenly raised his hand-

The finger was about to touch her red lips, Mei Ru's body stiffened, and she hurriedly dodged his hand, only looking at him coldly.

Fu Zheng lowered his hand and said tiredly: "Let's hurry." ”

After walking for about ten miles, dozens of people rushed over from a distance, and from a distance, the leader was wearing silver armor, and the people behind him were all gray-blue, not the yellow-brown of Xiqiang. Mei Ru's heart became more and more excited, Fu Zheng behind her had already jumped off the horse, and Mei Ru also jumped down.

Seeing that the dozens of people seemed to see the two of them, they quickly whipped up their horses and ran all the way to the front, and the person who took the lead didn't have time to tie the horse, so he jumped off the horse's back, his figure was thin and tall, and he also had the immaturity of a young man - it was Fu Zhao who was looking for him all the way!

Fu Zhao ran over, ran to Mei Ru, looked left and right, and asked happily, "Follow, how are you?" ”

Mei Ru couldn't stop laughing and being surprised: "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

Fu Zheng was a few steps behind, he was taller than both of them, and now he lowered his eyes and looked over, only to see that the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of sincere joy, and he was the only one left, empty joy, full, all empty.

Fu Zheng opened his eyes and looked to the side.

Someone else came to see him, Fu Zheng bowed slightly, for some reason, the sticky saltiness on his chest could no longer be suppressed, and now it snaked down directly along the corners of his mouth, still black.

Fu Zhao cared about this, and ran over in a startled manner: "Seventh brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mei Ru also looked back in a daze, across everyone, the two looked at each other from a distance, Fu Zheng opened his eyes, and said lightly: "I suffered some minor injuries, so I don't get in the way." He wiped the blood with his cuffs, but the salty smell continued to meander down, and he couldn't stop it. Fu Zheng paused, too lazy to wipe it again, and ordered sharply: "Return to the camp immediately." Someone led the horse to him, Fu Zheng turned over, he didn't turn his head, he directly pulled a whip, and the horse left quickly.

Mei Ru lagged behind, and Fu Zhao said, "Follow the rules, what's wrong with my seventh brother?" ”

Mei Ru lowered her eyes, smiled astringently, and said, "I don't know." ”

The Great Wei Dynasty has a camp in Xiqiang, and now the group has rushed here, and when they arrive here, Fu Zheng can't hold on anymore, and the blood is vomiting out! Frightened, Fu Zhao hurriedly summoned the military doctor over, Mei Ru stood outside the tent, took a fixed look, and still looked away, only looking at the remnant sun in the distance like blood.

She was also very tired, but now she is finally better, and she finally doesn't owe this life.

In the tent, Fu Zheng had already fainted, and he was only allowed to be treated by the military doctor. The garment was so bloody that it could not be taken off, so it had to be cut with scissors. This scissor, Fu Zhao, who was standing on the side, was stunned, he was a man who suddenly couldn't bear to look at it, he hurriedly opened his eyes, and there was a red glow under his eyes.

Fu Zheng fell asleep deeply, tired to death. When he woke up again, it was already dark.

The surroundings are still very quiet, the silence is uncomfortable, something in his heart suddenly jumped twice, Fu Zheng subconsciously sat up, and two words were about to blurt out, suddenly, someone heard the movement and happily came in, "Seventh brother, are you awake?" ”

Facing his eleventh brother, Fu Zheng was silent, swallowed the previous two words, he smiled faintly, "um".
