Zhong Ziyuan had never eaten this kind of thing, thinking that it smelled very good, and it shouldn't taste bad, but after a large handful of it was stuffed into her mouth, she was choked by the clumps of flour.

She immediately ripped off the cowhide water bag with water at her waist, pulled the stopper, tilted her head, and poured it into her mouth. Unfortunately, even if she poured the bag upside down, not a drop of water leaked out, and she suddenly remembered that she had drunk all the water along the way.

Originally, there was a place to replenish water on the road, but Zhong Ziyuan had some occupational diseases. She disliked that the water source was either well water or a stream, and there was no condition to boil it at present, and there must be countless parasite eggs in the water, so she did not replenish it in time. Now she was extremely annoyed in her heart, she knew that she would choke, it was better to drink water containing parasite eggs, at least she would not die so quickly.

Just when she rolled her eyes with tears in her eyes and felt unusually uncomfortable clutching her throat, Guo Chengsi wore heavy armor and rode a curly-haired black horse slowly pacing from a distance.

The red tassels on his helmet fluttered in the wind, and the helmet almost covered half of his face, revealing only a pair of dark and sharp eyes, which were shiny and carefully looked back and forth on the soldiers sitting on the ground.

Zhong Ziyuan knew that Rong Xi had not found him, and he must have been worried, so he began to personally search for his whereabouts in the team.

Seeing him at this moment was like seeing the closest person, Zhong Ziyuan felt extremely aggrieved, her eyes with tears were fixed on him, and she stretched out her hand to him in the distance tremblingly.

Suddenly, a tall figure blocked the sunlight in front of her, and she struggled to look up. It turned out to be a donkey and appeared in front of her with a ghost.

He frowned and leaned down to take a closer look at Zhong Ziyuan, who was choked with tears, and said with bad intentions: "Look." If you want to hide and eat alone, even God can't see it and will punish you. ”

Zhong Ziyuan hated a lot in his heart, if he wasn't afraid that he would come to grab food again, why would he hurriedly swallow it, and he wouldn't be choked. Now he is not only ashamed, but also speaks cool words. She couldn't express her anger, so she grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and smashed it at him.

Who knew that this dead donkey was actually very agile, and he dodged it with a light flash. also said with a hippie smile: "There is an old saying: a gentleman does not use his hands." If you hit me with something, you'll be a villain. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the choking was too uncomfortable, Zhong Ziyuan really wanted to laugh three times. This man didn't seem to think about what a gentleman said when he did it! It's just a shameless realm to the extreme.

Fortunately, although the donkey was unforgiving, he did not plan to die without saving. He removes his cowhide water bag. He pulled the plug and passed it to her lips. The water flowing out of the cowhide water bag was undoubtedly a lifesaver for Zhong Ziyuan, and she immediately held the "Gu Dong Gu Dong" in both hands and drank it in a big gulp.

It wasn't until the dough in her throat was flushed into her stomach by the water that she put down the water bag when she was satisfied. Wiping the water stains from the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, she handed the cowhide bag back to the donkey. Then he whispered unwillingly: "Thank you!" ”

"What do you say? I didn't hear clearly. "The donkey clasped his elbows. The two long legs were forked, deliberately rolling their eyes to the sky.

Zhong Ziyuan has always been a well-behaved child, and her education has always been to say thank you for the help of others. Although the donkey's unsuffocated appearance made her very unhappy, she still raised her voice hatefully and said, "I say thank you!" ”

The donkey plucked his ears with his little finger, and said dissatisfiedly: "Those who grit their teeth must not be sincere." ”

Guo Chengsi in the distance was slowly walking towards the two of them, and his sharp eyes were about to sweep to him. Zhong Ziyuan immediately lowered her head and hid herself in the shadow of the donkey. It's strange to say. When she was uncomfortable before, she really wanted to immediately throw herself into Guo Chengsi's arms and cry, but now that the crisis has passed, she doesn't want to be discovered by him.

Fortunately, the donkey seemed to have a heart with her at this moment, and he actually stood straight and didn't move, and Guo Chengsi naturally didn't notice the existence of Zhong Ziyuan hiding in front of him. It wasn't until Guo Chenghe's horse gradually walked away that she let out a long breath and straightened her waist.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that the donkey was blinking and looking at herself with bad intentions, and she didn't know what bad idea she was playing. Zhong Ziyuan, who was frightened by him, subconsciously trembled, raised his vigilance, widened his eyes and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

The donkey smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said curiously: "I want to know how you almost choked yourself to death?" ”

It's really a pot that can't be opened, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "It's not that I'm hungry, so grab it and eat it." Xu was in a hurry, and he choked! ”

The donkey slapped his forehead and said with a strange smile: "Oh my God! I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen you so stupid. Of course, this fried flour is not eaten like this. ”

Zhong Ziyuan was curious: "Then how to eat?" ”

The donkey spread his big palms and said, "Bring your bowl and noodle pocket." ”

The soldiers' bowls were all carried by themselves, so Zhong Ziyuan took out the coarse porcelain bowl from his arms, and handed the bulging noodle bag to the donkey's hand.

The donkey carefully poured half a bowl of fried flour into the bowl and added the water from the water bag. Then he actually stretched out his muddy fingers and stirred them in the bowl. Until the flour and water in the bowl are well mixed, it becomes a bowl of batter-like batter.

Only then did he take out his fingers, handed the bowl of batter to the stunned Zhong Ziyuan, and said triumphantly: "This way you can eat it." ”

Zhong Ziyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, slowly took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from his arms, and said weakly: "Actually, I have this." ”

The donkey glanced at the bamboo chopsticks in her hand, and said in surprise: "Then you didn't know to take it out earlier, so I got my hands dirty." Then he smiled again and said, "Forget it, anyway, this is food, and I don't dislike it!" ”

Nima! Now it's the old lady who dislikes you, okay! Zhong Ziyuan's heart was roaring wildly, but he was forced by his obscenity. She didn't dare to have a seizure. After silently thinking countless times in her heart that the world is so beautiful and I can't be so grumpy, she took a deep breath. Pi Xiaorou took the porcelain bowl in his hand without smiling. Gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you!" ”

The donkey blinked, raised the pocket of at least three-quarters of the face in his hand, and said with a smile: "No thanks, just have it as a reward." He tossed his noodle pocket into his vest, hummed a slang tune from nowhere, and walked away triumphantly.

Zhong Ziyuan held the bowl of batter and looked at his back. It's like crying without tears. After a fierce ideological struggle, the hunger in the belly still prevailed over everything. She finally closed her eyes and drank the terrible bowl of batter in her hand.

Although the portion is small, it is good or nothing, and there is something in the stomach. She felt that her lead-filled legs seemed to loosen up a little and regain some energy.

At this moment, another soldier rode all the way and shouted that it was time to leave, and all the soldiers who were resting in place immediately got up and prepared for departure. Zhong Ziyuan also got up. She tightened her belt again. It seems that as long as the shriveled belly is tightly wrapped, the hunger will come less vigorously.

After walking another sixty miles in the afternoon, there were rolling hills around it, but it was covered with snow and it was difficult to see a little green. It wasn't until Ugin Xi Shen that the soldiers announced that they would be stationed in place to rest, and Zhong Ziyuan was almost paralyzed on the ground.

Today, she had walked at least a hundred miles, and she had only drunk a bowl of corn porridge and a bowl of batter, half of which was made up of water. It doesn't take half an hour to digest it completely.

At this moment, she no longer felt the hunger in her belly, only felt that her eyes were shining with gold stars. I was weak all over my body, and I didn't have any extra strength. The soles of the feet are also painful, and it seems that they must have been blistered with blood.

The soldiers around were busy setting up tents, sweeping open lots, collecting firewood, lighting bonfires, or sorting out the caravans. Zhong Ziyuan dragged his tired body and began to look for Zhao Yiming's whereabouts in the crowd.

In the morning, because of her physical exhaustion, she didn't follow Zhao Yiming's carriage, and if she didn't find him at night, she didn't know where to sleep!

By the time she finally found Zhao Yiming in the crowd, half an hour had passed. Zhao Yiming happened to be anxiously looking for her, and only after the two met did they start to set up a camp. That's it here, no one is going to help you, you have to do everything yourself to survive.

After setting up the tents, the leaders outside began to distribute food for the night. At this time, Zhong Ziyuan was both expectant and apprehensive, she thought about it, licked her face and said to Zhao Yiming: "Doctor Zhao, can you please help you get my share together?" ”

Although Zhao Yiming is old, he has been in the carriage for a day after all. Although his old bones were sore, his physical strength and energy were stronger than Zhong Ziyuan's, so he agreed with a smile.

Zhong Ziyuan was overjoyed in her heart, and secretly said proudly: "This time, I will go out after eating, let your strong donkey have great powers, and you can't help me!" ”

It took Zhao Yiming at least half an hour to go, and when she stayed in the tent and wanted to see through, he was late with the coarse porcelain bowl. Zhong Ziyuan saw two barley cakes with pickles in his bowl, and couldn't help but be happy, swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”

Zhao Yiming was stunned for a moment and said, "Haven't you eaten it yet?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan immediately had a bad premonition in her heart, and she hurriedly said: "I've been staying in the tent, and I haven't gone anywhere, how can I eat?" ”

Zhao Yiming touched the back of his head and said puzzledly: "When queuing up before, a dark-skinned, tall young man said that he was your friend and helped take your share away." He was ahead of me, so I thought you had already eaten. ”

With the last glimmer of hope, Zhong Ziyuan asked, "What's his name?" ”

Zhao Yiming thought for a while and said, "His name is Qiang Donkey!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan's little face completely collapsed, and this donkey was simply ghostly. I don't know if I accidentally dug up his family's ancestral grave and used it to follow closely step by step? If you continue to be so hungry, you don't have the physical strength to continue to keep up with the large army. At that time, he will either drag his feet, or be discovered by Guo Chenghe. It's only been two days, and it's very convenient to go back to Chang'an City, so he can't be found out.

Zhao Yiming saw that her face was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing, I'm just going to discuss something with that donkey." In Zhao Yiming's stunned eyes, she took the oil lamp on the table and strode out majestically.

After leaving the camp, she was dumbfounded, although the bonfire had been lit, but to find the hateful donkey in the dense camp in front of her, among the 10,000 soldiers wearing the same uniform, was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Zhong Ziyuan suddenly admired the donkey very much, how could he find himself accurately when he had just received the food and had not had time to stutter? Maybe he's not a donkey at all, but a dog, or a search dog with a particularly sensitive nose.

After looking around aimlessly, Zhong Ziyuan's original anger had been extinguished by more than half, and it was estimated that even if he found the donkey at this moment, he would not be able to get his wheat cake back. Just when she was helpless to give up, the palm that had been warm fell on her shoulder. Immediately afterwards, the donkey's extremely hateful face with a straw stalk in his mouth appeared in front of her.

I heard him laugh and say, "Look at you for a long time, what are you looking for?" For the sake of friends, do you need my help? ”

Zhong Ziyuan closed her eyes weakly, and asked hopelessly, "Where is my wheat cake?" You said that you would only share half of it, and you would have to give me one of the two wheat cakes! ”

The donkey grinned, patted his still shriveled belly and said, "It's all inside!" It's so little that it doesn't even fill in the corners. ”

Zhong Ziyuan said hatefully: "You are a pig!" Your own two pieces, my two pieces, add up to at least a pound of wheat cakes, and they can't fill your stomach? ”

The donkey was not angry, and said with a smile in his eyes: "No way, who made me born with divine power, and naturally ate more than ordinary people." ”

Zhong Ziyuan didn't want to continue to entangle with him, lest she vomit blood from anger and there was no medicine to cure it, so she immediately turned around and left. Who knew that the donkey was still ghostly following her, shouting as he walked: "Hey! Where are you going? ”

Zhong Ziyuan even ate his heart alive at the moment, where would he pay attention to his call. She covered her head and walked to the edge of the tent. The outermost part of the tent was surrounded by numerous layers of horse-repellent piles, and beyond it was a snow-covered hill.

Zhong Ziyuan gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain in his feet, and tried to climb high. It used to be a dense forest, but now it is quiet, and there are basically no traces of animals.

The donkey was still behind her, chattering, "What is this black light running to the mountain?" What if a hungry beast comes out and treats you and me like a big meal? ”

Zhong Ziyuan didn't even glance at him, she tried to raise the oil lamp in her hand, and kept searching under the trees, rock peaks, and thorn bushes through the dim light. (To be continued.) )
