The army was uneventful when they passed through the Eagle Narrow Valley, and the hearts of everyone were put back in their stomachs, and even their steps became brisk.

Zhong Ziyuan no longer needs to use her feet to walk step by step, because Guo Chengsi specially prepared a docile mare for her. In fact, Guo Chengsi originally wanted her to ride the same horse with her, but let her behave so intimately with him in front of everyone, she would never agree.

However, when Rong Xi led the horse to her, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows and tease: "Doctor Jia, in fact, in the end, you still have to ride a horse with the general, so why bother so much!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan unceremoniously gave him two health pills, and said unconvinced: "Don't look down on people with Captain Rongdu, I learned to ride a horse when I was in Chang'an City, and I will definitely not drag the army back." Rongxi didn't say a word, and with a strange smile he handed the reins to her.

For most of the day, Zhong Ziyuan shook the leather whip and followed Guo Chengsi with the horse's belly in his arms. But after a long time, it didn't work, and she clearly felt that the tender flesh on the inner thighs was grinding down from the saddle, and she didn't need to look at it to know that it must be red.

Only then did she understand the meaning of Rongxi's strange smile. It turns out that there is a big gap between riding a horse in Chang'an and riding a horse for a long time. Her eyes began to look uncontrollably at Guo Chengsi's slender and beautiful thighs, in the past nearly a month, he has almost grown on horseback, I wonder if he is also scarred?

Zhong Ziyuan didn't know how eager her eyes were, and she didn't see Rong Xi snickering secretly at Guo Chengsi behind her back. Until Guo Chengsi suddenly turned the horse's head. came to her and said very seriously: "Doctor Jia, your feet are too slow. It has seriously dragged down the army. In order not to affect the speed, General Ben will allow you to ride the same horse with me. ”

"What!" Zhong Ziyuan's eyes widened.

Guo Chengsi didn't wait for her to refute, he directly reached out and grabbed her belt, lifted her hard, and lifted her to his horse very simply. Of course, her sitting posture has also changed from a painful straddle to a much more comfortable side sitting.

Zhong Ziyuan's face flushed, clutching the front of his cloak. He whispered, "This is really unseemly, in fact, I can still ride in the carriage."

Guo Chengsi lowered his head and smiled with a handsome face. Facing her bright amber eyes, she said seriously: "There are wounded people in the carriage, can you bear to rob them?" "Just kidding, he's searching for it. Gadan was frightened for almost a month. Now I can finally embrace her openly in my arms. How could he give up such a benefit.

One sentence successfully blocked her mouth, knowing that he was exaggerating, knowing that he was taking the opportunity to make trouble, Zhong Ziyuan was powerless to refute. She moved her hips, found a comfortable position and sat down, stared hatefully at his chin with a faint blue beard, and said with great certainty: "You did it on purpose!" Your saddle is covered with soft cloth, but my saddle is bare and nothing! You're trying to make it impossible for me to ride a horse! ”

Guo Chengsi was stunned. Then he burst into laughter. He unfolded his wide cloak and wrapped her around her head. smiled softly: "I didn't sleep all night last night, I guess you are also sleepy, it is better to lean on my chest and sleep, so as to recuperate." ”

This guy didn't even give a pretentious explanation, so he just acquiesced. After grinding his little white teeth on his chin for a while, Zhong Ziyuan suddenly laughed with a "poof".

After walking for a while, she couldn't resist the sleepiness, and covered her mouth and yawned delicately. Then he said blindfoldedly: "I'm sleepy, I'll sleep for a while." She rested her head firmly on his chest, her hands wrapped tightly around his sturdy waist, and she fell asleep in a sweet sleep as the curly-haired black horse tossed and fell.

The donkey was locked in the prisoner car, not far behind Guo Chenghe. The black clothes on his body had turned into rags, and his whole body was covered with criss-crossing hideous whip marks, and he could hardly find a good piece of flesh. He didn't seem to feel the pain in his body, and only stared at the two people walking in front of him. Staring, staring, his thick eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and a touch of sinister air quickly diffused on his body.

After walking for two whole days, it was only one hundred and fifty miles away from Juchong Pass. At this moment, the red sunset had gradually faded into the horizon, and the army was stationed in a dense forest.

The soldiers had long developed a habit of automatically gathering the grain carts together without Guo Chengsi's orders, and the dense tents were clustered around the grain carts in circles. After that night's sneak attack, the grain truck was watched more closely, and basically didn't even want to run in to steal food from a mouse.

After setting up their tents, some of the soldiers could not be idle, so they plunged into the dense forest before it was completely dark. Digging snow, digging pits, setting traps, trying to catch small beasts, bamboo rats, etc.

Zhong Ziyuan took a cowhide bag and wanted to go to a small stream that he had passed earlier to get water. As she got closer, she noticed that there was something strange about the creek. Not only is there not the slightest trace of ice and snow on either side of it, but even the wild grass on both sides is particularly luxuriant. There was also a thin layer of white mist rising on the turbulent stream, and the smell of rotten eggs was faintly wafting in the air.

"It smells a bit like sulfur, is this natural hot spring water?" Zhong Ziyuan was overjoyed, she opened the weeds and looked carefully, sure enough, the stream was gurgling, the water vapor was crystal clear, and it was an excellent sulfur hot spring.

Seeing this clear hot spring, Zhong Ziyuan suddenly felt that her whole body began to itch, and she urgently needed to take a thorough hot bath to relax herself. For a month, she waited until the dead of night every day to wet her veil and wipe her body indiscriminately. Now she can smell the sour smell on her body, and it is thanks to Guo Chengsi who happily carries her every day and rides a horse.

Just when her heart was itching, a few strange screams suddenly sounded in her ears, and more than a dozen young soldiers who had taken off their military uniforms and looked like white-skinned sheep were already chasing and fighting, laughing, and jumping into the stream like dumplings.

Although Zhong Ziyuan turned his eyes away in time, he still inadvertently saw a few bare-naked-fart-stock eggs. She blushed. Hurriedly turned around and left. A few soldiers who knew her were still in the water, making a splash while smiling and greeting, "Doctor Jia." Don't go! Let's wash it too! ”

Zhong Ziyuan didn't dare to reply, only laughed dryly twice, and said, "I still have something!" Wash first. ”

After she walked away, someone teased: "Don't scream, Dr. Jia wants to wash, naturally our General Wu Xian is accompanied, which green onion are you!" ”

"Keep your mouth clean. Less nonsense. ”

"Who is talking nonsense, haven't you seen that General Wu Xian is holding him and riding a horse these days!"

"It must be because Dr. Jia is weak. I don't know how to ride a horse. He was originally brought by General Wu Xian, and it is not surprising that his demeanor is kinder. Besides, Dr. Jia has excellent medical skills, and I don't know how many lives of our brothers have been saved, so you can't chew the root of his tongue behind your back. ”

"I know that your brother was rescued by Dr. Jia. We'll just not talk about it next time."

Zhong Ziyuan didn't know after she left. There was also a small argument in the creek over her. She blushed her face and buried her head through the crowd, and walked back to Guo Chenghe's tent quickly.

In addition to a pile of steamed buns and a bowl of potato stewed beans, there was actually a pheasant soup and a bunch of roasted black whirring meat that exuded a greasy aroma. I don't know what kind of little animal was unlucky, and it was dug out of its nest and turned into a delicacy on a plate.

It has not been contaminated with meat for a long time. Zhong Ziyuan was indeed greedy, and she secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He asked Rong Xi, who was guarding the camp, "Where did your general go?" ”

Rong Xi smiled: "I was called away by a few staff, saying that I was discussing how to deal with that Khitan dog thief in Juchong Pass." When he left, he also instructed you to eat first, without waiting for him. ”

Zhong Ziyuan had to have dinner alone, and half of the black, unclear barbecue meat was wiped out by her. Not to mention, although it doesn't look good, the taste is really tender and delicious.

Rong Xi had already been called away, and Zhong Ziyuan was the only one left in the camp. She thought about it, but still took a bowl of warm chicken soup and a few steamed buns, and after the food box was packed. She picked up another dead wind lamp, lifted the curtain and walked out.

At this moment, it was completely dark, and it was extremely impressive, there were tents of all sizes, and bright bonfires dotted in the woods. Many soldiers gathered around the campfire, laughing and scolding, and fiddling with the trophies in their hands, and the smell of roasting wafted through the air. Of course, this is also a matter of ability. After all, in the snow-covered forest, there are only a lot of animals that can be caught.

The guards waiting outside the camp tent hurriedly clenched their fists and asked, "Where does Dr. Jia want to go?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan asked, "Do you know where that Khitan is being held?" If you know, show me it! ”

"Please come with me."

After Zhong Ziyuan followed him around seven times, he found a dilapidated tent, although the tent was dilapidated, there were several soldiers guarding the door. The guard pointed to the tent and said, "Doctor Jia, that Khitan is locked inside, do you want me to go in with you?" ”

"No need." Zhong Ziyuan shook his head and said, "I'll send him some food, and I'll come out immediately." Tomorrow he will enter the Juchong Pass, and he doesn't know if he can keep this life. If he really doesn't end well, he will be full before he goes on the road! ”

The guard touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Doctor Jia is really kind-hearted, and he is so soft-hearted to a Khitan dog thief." Alright, then I'll wait for you at the door, you be careful. ”

Zhong Ziyuan opened the curtain of the door and walked in, there were no candles in the tent, it was dark. Her arrival brought light back to the dilapidated and cramped tent. She swept her eyes and saw the donkey curled up motionless in the corner of the tent, his eyes tightly closed, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Zhong Ziyuan was shocked, hurriedly put down the things in his hand, squatted down beside him, and reached out to reach under his nose.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet." As soon as she touched the end of his nose, the donkey closed his eyes and said lazily.

Zhong Ziyuan had already felt it, and his snort carried a scorching breath. She frowned, and reached out to touch his forehead, feeling that the skin under her hand was not only sticky, but also incredibly hot. She couldn't help but exclaim, "You have a fever, when did it happen?" Is there any medication? ”

The donkey opened his eyes suddenly, with a hint of ridicule in his cold eyes, and said coldly: "Since you betrayed me without hesitation, why should you pretend to care about my life or death at this moment." ”

Zhong Ziyuan knew that he would be angry, she sighed slightly and said, "You really can't blame me for this, you and my positions are opposites." I can't ignore you knowing you have a problem, then we will be the unlucky. ”

"Since you know we're opposites, let's get out of here! It's okay not to dangle in front of me, be careful that I can't control my hands and strangle you. Although the donkey had cruel words in his mouth, he was suffering from a high fever and his body was very weak, and his cruel words seemed to have no confidence.

Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but sigh: "Good girl, I'm sick like this, and I don't forget to scold." I think you'd better save some effort! The donkey glanced at her coldly, and closed his eyes again, completely as if she didn't exist.

Zhong Ziyuan picked up the bowl of pheasant soup and fanned it under his nose, and a strong fragrance went straight to his nose. Although his eyes were closed, he couldn't help but grunt in his throat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Zhong Ziyuan's pair of sparkling eyes were staring at him, and although the up and down of his Adam's apple was slight, it still fell into her eyes. She couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The pheasant soup that was just stewed, I deliberately left my share to you, how about it?" Interesting enough! ”

The donkey opened his eyes suddenly, he stared at her hatefully, and said impatiently, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan pursed her lips and said calmly: "I'm really not interesting, we also got to know each other, so it's okay to invite you to have a full meal." ”

The donkey was silent for a while, and suddenly he laughed and said, "I know that you Han people have the custom of eating decapitated rice. Do you think that I will die tomorrow when I enter the Giant Surge Pass, and I am afraid that if I die, I will become a starving ghost, so I sent food to practice it in advance? ”

Zhong Ziyuan's eyes began to drift, and she didn't dare to look at his bright and bloodshot eyes, but her attitude was tantamount to acquiescing to the donkey's statement.

"Alright, bring it quickly!" The donkey suddenly struggled to sit up, and shouted unceremoniously: "But a bowl of pheasant soup can't fill my stomach." ”

"Don't worry, I also brought steamed buns, which will make you full!"

The donkey's hands were tied firmly behind him with ox tendons, and there was no way to do it himself. Zhong Ziyuan had to take the bowl with his own hands and bring it to his lips. The donkey was not polite, but took her hand and drank it in a big gulp.

Although the heat of the pheasant soup has almost dissipated, it is still fragrant and tempting. The donkey had little appetite because of the fever, but drinking this bowl of pheasant soup really aroused the hunger in his belly.

After feeding the donkey and eating a few steamed buns, Zhong Ziyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. She packed her things, stood up and said, "Then I'm leaving!" ”

Without waiting for him to answer, she immediately turned and left. But I didn't see the light in his eyes looking at his back, deep, complicated, and with a trace of incomprehension and confusion. (To be continued.) )
