Ji Kang'er walked north all night, and when the east turned white, he glanced at the morning star on the horizon.

At this moment, a sharp hiss pierced the silence of dawn, and the steel-winged and iron-beaked falcon swooped down with Ji Kang'er's gesture "Boom-" and firmly stopped on Ji Kang'er's arm.

Ji Kang'er took out a piece of bacon from the bag and handed it to the eagle falcon, and said kindly: "Tartar, this time we are really companions." ”

A horse, an eagle, and a man walked on the increasingly sandy land, and in the distance, the steaming sun rose vigorously, and the solitary smoke was straight, and the morning sun was round......

When the morning dawned, a light dust was raised from far and near on the opposite straight road, and the sound of horses' hooves was very urgent.

The man on the tall horse opposite, with a leather hat and leather robe, carried a large knife behind his back, accompanied by a short sword, and a huge wine gourd pinned to his waist.

The man's big eyes like brass bells were full of smiles, and the wild gray beard covered the chapped skin and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, which made people know that this face was the result of years of stumbling in the cold and dry places.

"Lao Feng, why are you here?" Ji Kang'er arched his hand and asked knowingly, "If it weren't for your usual drunken body, I wouldn't have recognized you." ”

The person who came was his father's former favorite general, Lao Feng, who was known as the "wine gourd". Lao Feng was originally a talent from Jigong Academy, the highest institution of learning in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and studied under the first Yangmingzi of the college, however, because he was a prodigal wreck when he was young and drunk like his life, he was finally sent to the border by the master.

That old Feng is not only well-read and memorable, but also unambiguous on the battlefield. He followed the general Ji Hao to fight in the north and fought many vicious battles.

Ji Kang'er hadn't seen Lao Feng for six years, and as soon as he came to the horse, he gave him a big hug, which made Lao Feng's heart numb.

When this old Feng saw Ji Kang, it was like seeing his own son, and his heart was hot for a while.

Ji Kang'er was unceremoniously, snatched the wine gourd and drank it with a grunt, and then smashed his mouth and said, "Lao Feng, you are old and yellow, but the wine is like your own person, and it is getting more and more mellow." ”

Lao Feng rolled his eyes proudly: "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and my old Feng is not afraid that there will be no little daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"That's right! Lao Feng, you should be my father. Ji Kang'er saw the stitches and did not miss any opportunity to slip and shoot the horse.

At first, because Lao Feng came to answer, Ji Kang'er was in a good mood all of a sudden, and couldn't help but be interested. He beat his horse and sang loudly, what:

"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, looking at the prosperity of the world, my young heart was always a little frivolous, and now I have made the whole world home, dripping drip, dripping drip......"

Lao Feng heard that Nan Yan'er was ruined and tampered with by Ji Kang'er this week, and he laughed and scolded him, but he had no temper in his heart for this naughty boy, and in the face of his various naughty mischief, Lao Feng has never been in a hurry or annoyed.

Since dawn, the bushes along the road have been replaced by cistanche, which is customary in the extreme cold, and the fertile black soil has been replaced by bare rocks.

Straight north, even the cracked mountains and bare slopes soon disappeared, leaving only a desertified wasteland.

The further north you go, the cooler it gets, and the darker the sky gets. Ji Kang'er looked up at the sky, but there was no warmth in the red sun, and the four fields were open, so it was a northland scenery.

After walking for a few more hours, Ji Kang'er's mood plummeted.

The sandy soil, like the fried noodles made by the mother, casually takes a step, the yellow sand fills the trouser tube, and the horse's hooves are raised, and the fine smoke and dust all the way up to the throat are choked, which can really be described as the old saying "mulberry thorns have no leaves and native smoke".

At this time, her lips were chapped and thirsty, and her nasal cavity was already covered by the wind and sand, so Ji Kang'er had to breathe heavily through her mouth.

The back-watered clothes and salted crotch made him have to endure the grinding of the flesh and skin after the clothes were stiff......

"Old Feng, when will I have a place to rest?" Ji Kang'er's tone was almost begging.

"Lao Feng, I couldn't even say goodbye to my mother, let alone bring winter clothes!"

"Lao Feng, have you ever eaten the fathead fish I caught......?

Ji Kang'er was very good at complaining along the way, and the tricks she used to deal with Ji Bo on weekdays were spared no effort on Lao Feng this time.

Lao Feng usually doesn't talk much, but now he is even more precious to words, that is, he is very tall. Regarding Ji Kang'er's complaints, he did not say anything. This trick is more effective, and it does not consume limited energy on this little rabbit cub.

Just like that, a chatterbox, a mute, and before they knew it, the two of them ran out for more than ten miles.

At the moment when Ji Kang'er was dozing off and almost fell off the horse, the eagle falcon stabbed down again, grabbed Ji Kang'er's belt and dragged it to the high flying place. Ji Kang'er: "Ah-" woke up.

He rubbed his eyes, and at the end of the horizon, a lonely liquor shop appeared......

"Ha, there is still a wine shop in this place where it is so cold that it is scumbag and camels do not give birth to cubs?" Ji Kang'er looked ecstatic.

A wisp of soft cooking smoke curled up, and the flag wind beckoned to passers-by.

Hurrying to the nearest place, Ji Kang'er saw a big "Zhou" flag with white characters on a black background erected outside the store.

"This is the last liquor store at the northern end of the straight road, it belongs to my Great Zhou military, and it is specially used for soldiers to come and go, and supplies to the mainland to rest. Accommodation and meals are free of charge, but the drinks are only five. Boy, you are different from others, my old Feng is good for you, and the wine is enough!"

Lao Feng said, jumped off the horse, and stepped into the wine shop with the heroic steps of a soldier.

The guy in the store hurriedly beckoned: "General, this is back." He saw that behind Lao Feng was a cucumber egg that had not yet grown into a shape, the teenage boy clutched the reins in his hand tightly and did not dismount, his delicate little face had been torn by the cold wind a few times, the blood stains at the mouth had condensed into dark red, and the peach blossoms bloomed on his white face.

"Come down, little brother, come into the house and warm up......"

The guy in the store did not salute this aristocratic child with a scarf in accordance with the etiquette of the mainland, but casually said hello and led Ji Kang to h2
