Chapter 153: Reminiscences of the Camp
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Liu Qingmei's mouth, but there was no pity in his eyes. People live in the world, the road is under their feet, and it is also everyone's own choice, there is no right or wrong, only success or failure.
She slowly raised her hand and put it on the neck of the silver-maned white horse, stroking it. The white horse was softly touched, and another joyful neighing echoed in this green field.
After about half an hour, no one came, except for a few birds that occasionally flew by, as if they were deliberately looking at her. Liu Qingmei regained some strength and struggled to support her body, but the feeling of weakness was still there, and it was really not suitable to move forward.
She doesn't know what awaits her, another wave of fighting? Or, death......
Liu Qingmei finally slapped his hand on the white horse's buttocks, and just like that, the white horse was frightened and began to raise his hooves and gallop. The speed became faster and faster, until all the corpses were left behind until they disappeared.
Walking through the field, there was no camp as the big man said, but rows of scattered horses in front of Liu Qingmei. And the dozens of rejections were immediately nailed with mutilated corpses and burning flames.
In front of the heavily guarded garrison, it was natural to place a horse rejection. It's just that this full of corpses, as if someone deliberately put it up, I don't know if it's for fame or prestige.
And these corpses were all ragged, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and stumps and broken feet scattered all over the ground. The blood had dried from the wounds, wrapped around the horse-repellent spear, and had been kneaded russet by the wind and fire.
When people are dying, they are constantly struggling because of great pain. It's like a loach nailed to the board, if you don't pull it hard, your stomach and intestines will be scattered all over the place, and you will always have a glimmer of life.
However, this extravagance is often shattered in the next moment, and the head of the loach that cannot move, and it is slapped hard. Take advantage of the time of fainting, and then raise the knife and fall. Wow, blood is dripping, and the "prelude" of a delicious dish is in full swing.
Liu Qingmei suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach, when he killed someone just now, no. Not long ago, when the body was dug out of the yellow sand, there was none. At this time, I especially want to vomit. Look at the corpses nailed to the wooden guns, and then think about what happened to them......
I don't feel bad feeling from my heart.
On the burnt wooden gun, there were still wisps of charcoal smoke and dust, mixed with the stench of the corpse rotting after being exposed to the sun, and the wisp of "barbecue" fragrance, which made Liu Qingmei dare not face it or smell it again.
The silver-maned white horse suddenly stopped, snorting from its nose and restless. The four horses' legs also moved back and forth, as if some danger was approaching. At this time, Liu Qingmei had recovered most of his strength, just to hide people's eyes, still lying on horseback, looking ahead.
With an earth-shattering roar, a sand lion violently broke through the rejecting horse that was blocking in front of him and appeared in front of Liu Qingmei. The silver-maned white horse was startled by the sand lion, so he suddenly got up and raised his hooves to demonstrate, the sand lion had deep eye sockets, and looked like a scheming man. A beast behaves like this, it must have been domesticated for a long time.
His body was really followed by a person, smiling, and when he saw Liu Qingmei lying on horseback, he couldn't help but clap his hands. The person who came was dressed in a gray robe, with vicissitudes of life, but a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if to prove that the two were old acquaintances.
Liu Qingmei grabbed the hilt of the sword and quietly pulled out a few inches. The person who came raised his hand and waved, and the sand lion, who was already ready to be culled, leaned down and became "well-behaved and cute". This person then spoke: "Director Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. β
Liu Qingmei slowly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, but his eyes couldn't help but slanted at the blessed lion who was not angry. Slowly putting the long sword back into its sheath, Liu Qingmei whispered, "Envoy Liu, don't come unharmed." β
The person who came was Liu Youyao, who was rescued by Liu Qingmei and returned to the Tang capital that day, and Liu Youyao, who had been wandering between Li Cunqiao and Nalan. I just don't know what his intention is when he appears here at this time.
After greeting each other lukewarmly, the two sides fell into an awkward situation. Liu Qingmei stared at the person in front of him, racking his brains and couldn't figure out why this person appeared here at this time. Now that the Later Zhou has blatantly invaded the land of the Later Tang Dynasty, Liu Youyao, as the envoy of the Later Zhou, is already walking on thin ice at this time.
And he just appeared here, on the way Liu Qingmei to Qingxia Town, it was no accident. There must be a demon in an unusual matter, and this person's smile is so insidious and cunning, I am afraid that the tragedy of rejecting the horse in front of the camp and the layout just now are inseparable from him.
But at this time, don't act rashly, so Liu Qingmei chose to wait, waiting for Liu Youyao to speak first, or give her a reasonable explanation. At the very least, it can clear some unnecessary misunderstandings, or clear some obstacles for some urgent matters.
Liu Yau smiled again, and finally spoke: "Liu Sitou, you must be very curious, why am I here, shouldn't I be locked up in the inner palace by Li Cunqiao, waiting to be the bargaining chip for that deal?" β
"Really?" Liu Qingmei understated and didn't care.
"Yes and no." Liu Youyao gave a sharpened answer, which made Liu Qingmei's heart suddenly alert. Seeing that Liu Qingmei wanted to draw his sword again, Liu Youyao raised his hand and signaled, "Don't be angry." I was sent by Nalan to assist you. β
Hearing this, Liu Qingmei pulled out the hand holding the hilt of the sword suddenly, and the long sword grazed the horse's neck, pointing at Liu Youyao. The sand lion, who was originally well-behaved on the ground, stood up suddenly, and a roar resounded through the sky.
Liu Youyao glanced at Liu Qingmei with a slight apology, and gave the sand lion a slap in the mouth with his backhand. This kind of relationship between people will cause a fist and kick, let alone between humans and animals?
After the sand lion suffered from pain, he did not hurt others, but leaned over the ground again, becoming more and more obedient and well-behaved. still licking his paws, looking naΓ―ve and cute. At the moment when Liu Qingmei drew his sword, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and when the slap fell on the face of the sand lion, it disappeared again.
"Liu Sishou should not be as knowledgeable as a beast, it is Liu who is not well disciplined, and he laughs." Liu owed a smile again, pun on his own depreciation, Liu Qingmei suddenly couldn't understand the Hou Zhou envoy, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Since I didn't know, I didn't bother to dig deeper, and "borrowed the slope to get off the donkey" and said: "The owner of Mingyue asked you to help me?" Do you know who sent me here, and what is the so-called thing? β
Liu's flattering smile became a little stiff, as if he was enduring the anger in his patience, but he had nowhere to vent his helplessness. After a stalemate for a long time, he stretched out his hand from his cuffs, and he was holding the signal of Mingyue Lou in his hand.
"Seeing this, Miss Liu won't believe it, right?" This sentence "Miss Liu" has clearly revealed the impatience in the words, if Liu Qingmei is more aggressive, I am afraid that Liu Youyou will refute Mingyuelou's face and worry about her livelihood.
Liu raised his body suddenly, put one leg across the horse, and smiled, "Brother Liu, why is this happening, everyone is in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." Why bother with each other? β
Liu Yau snorted when he heard this, and the sand lion lying next to his leg snorted. And the white horse sitting on Liu Qingmei spewed a few wisps of breath from his nostrils, and these two people and two beasts brought out this subtle atmosphere to the fullest.
Liu smiled again, paced back and forth a few steps, and then continued: "I just arrived, what happened here?" Why is this so miserable? In these words, everything in front of him was wiped out, and the dozens of lives just now had nothing to do with him.
Liu Qingmei burst out laughing, probably feeling that something was wrong, and then hid his face and chuckled, and waited for a while before relieving himself. Such a clumsy excuse, from the mouth of such a treacherous person, is simply ridiculous and generous.
But she can't break it, why break it, others try their best to hide the truth, if you don't play with it, wouldn't it be too boring? Liu smiled lightly, lowered his elbow and asked, "What are Brother Liu's plans next, but you want to go with me?" β
Liu Youyao slowly straightened his waist, in Liu Qingmei's memory, Liu Youyao has always been ricketed, but he has never looked short. Except for the indescribable obscenity, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
But he just stood up, and with the click of bones all over his body, the seven-foot-tall Houzhou envoy suddenly turned into a tall man who was nearly nine feet tall. The treacherous look on his face also disappeared. Even the shrill voice was replaced by a deep male voice, "I am willing to walk with Miss Liu." β
Rao is Liu Qingmei is well-informed, and he has never seen this kind of reborn change technique, so he can't help but be dumbfounded. After a while, he opened his mouth and replied: "That's very good, thank you Brother Liu." β
The tall Liu Yau turned around and pushed away the rejection horse beside him, and forcibly cleared a way for Liu Qingmei. It's just that during the walking, there is always an indescribable cold, even if the scorching sun is in the sky at three o'clock in the afternoon, it is also cold and abnormal.
Aren't these people who died in vain telling their grievances?
Liu Youyao moved the last rejection away, and said without looking back: "Could it be that Miss Liu also believes in strange powers?" Liu Qingmei didn't expect Liu to have this question, so he casually snorted, "Why, Xu is too tired, and I always feel that this place is a little cold." β
Hearing what Liu Qingmei said, Liu Yau turned around sharply and said with an open smile: "The things in the world are what we can assert, so it's better not to delve into them." Please hurry up, Miss Liu, my beast is probably hungry, and if it stains Miss Liu's eyes, it will not be good. β
Liu Qingmei, who had not looked back, involuntarily turned his head to look back when he heard the words, the sand lion that was lying on the ground was biting the corpse nailed to the wooden gun at this time, and the scene was bloody. And Liu Qingmei turned his head again, but there was no trace of displeasure, but instead hummed a small song that circulated in the Later Tang Capital.
"Aya cries, A-Niang laughs, and the doll sleeps. Hit small gongs, play big drums, and the doll will dance. Whose doll loves red makeup, whose doll loves knives and guns. Aya laughs, A-Niang cries, and the doll has grown up. The grown-up doll wants knives and guns, and dances knives to get guns and guards the border. Resist the South Barbarians, resist the North Mang, the doll is amazing. β
"Aya laughs, A-Niang laughs, the doll has a wife. The wife and children guard, looking forward to the return of the baby, and the little baby is not crying. Three years of small acacia and fallen leaves, the baby did not return when the wild goose returned. Aya cried, A-Niang cried, and the doll was gone. The little baby has grown up, and Grandpa is full of tears. Grandma is tightly sewn, and the little baby is on the march. β
Liu Youyao listened a little intrigued, and actually hummed along, I don't know if at this time, he also remembered his hometown......
