Volume 185, I will try to be better
Since leaving Jinling, the army has been on the road for several days, because of the large number of military resources and logistics required. The army marched first in a rapid group to take the lead, and then the infantry pursued.
As the fighting situation became more and more severe, many displaced people could be seen fleeing with their families in the direction of Kyoto along the way. The closer you get to the battlefield, there is not one out of a hundred households, and the broken bricks and tiles are like the disaster after being robbed by robbers.
It was the time when spring returned to the earth, the willows were still around, and a hundred flowers were blooming. But those who are in a hurry have no intention of watching, and their eyes are full of only the ultimate goal.
Even a minute on the road is eager to be used as two minutes, and everything on the march is simple, and there are two replacement horses.
"Ah Li, do you want to drink some water, I see that your lips are dry." Zhu San's whole face was flushed, like a red-hot tomato fruit. After raising his head and pouring a few mouthfuls of water, he couldn't help but look at the person who was riding the horse.
The color is as good as ever, but the chapped and flaky lips give people the feeling that it is an eyesore. Even wanted to get started and moisturize it for a few minutes, as soon as this thought came to mind, Zhu San's whole person shuddered violently, and quickly shook his head to dispel this abnormal thought.
Damn, he almost became a person like Fan Junshi who spied on Ah Li's beauty, it's really not a thing.
"I don't." If it's not hot today, it's the best time to hurry. Even so, the man on the horse was still sweating lightly, and his face hidden under the wide brim of his hat was all sunburned, just like the color of the carmine-dyed begonia mixed with the scarlet daffodil juice.
He Dangli stretched out his hand to wipe a few drops of sweat that slipped down his forehead at will, and his pale and colorless lips were even more pursed. She didn't want to drink more water on the way, otherwise it would be a problem for her to stop and release the water every time.
So much so that she drinks water every morning so that her body does not lose too much water even when exposed to the sun. If you are really thirsty on the way, you will symbolically take a mouthful of water into your mouth, and only swallow it after it has completely moistened your mouth. And now the situation is still tolerable to her.
After all, for her, it is too suspicious to suddenly stop and relieve herself in the rush march, and she is still a person whose every move is watched.
"But even if you're not thirsty, you have to drink some more or less, and I see that you haven't drunk much water today. Even the mouth is dry and white, be careful of dehydration. Zhu San's mother-in-law couldn't help but start to think about it.
"I have a lot of water here, so you don't have to worry about not having water, and I remember there is a river not far ahead. Ah Li look at you, your mouth is so dry that you are about to, why don't you drink some water, although it is not hot this day, but if you don't drink water all the time, there will be a risk of heat stroke or dehydration, if you accidentally fall down, it will definitely delay the marching team, once delayed, maybe what will happen to Xiyang Pass. Anyway, what he said was to persuade her to drink water.
"How long do we have to get to Xiyang Pass?" He Dangli didn't want to pay attention to his reply, and changed the subject.
One of the staff members stepped forward and spoke up; "General Hui, at our current speed, we will be able to reach Xiyang Pass in three days at the latest." Today is the 4th of April, which is the time when it rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
It was originally the day of ancestor worship, but this year, it was the time when the Xiongnu attacked the Zhengyang border and injured and killed and looted the wicked people.
After they set off from Jinling, they did not stop for a moment, sometimes in addition to eating and really unable to stay up to the horse, they would dismount and walk two steps, and even drink water to relieve their hands would be solved immediately. Because if they can hurry up, maybe they can save the next person's life, and Xiyang Pass can't be broken no matter what.
If it is broken, then the Huns can swing their knives and go straight to Jinling, and then it will not be a sentence of misery.
It's like a race against death right now.
"General, there is a river not far ahead, we might as well set up camp next to it tonight and rest for the night, and we won't be in a hurry tomorrow." The person who spoke was really a little unbearable, and couldn't help but speak up.
Although they have also been on the battlefield, they will inevitably be a little overwhelmed by their bodies in the sleepless journey for several days. Although they also know that the situation is urgent, this body is not as rational as they are.
"Okay." Why should he leave their pair of hurried soldiers who wanted to break away from the army first, and they wore stars and moons all the way, and the horses were tired and tired on the way. They will change to new horses as they pass through the next city, and it will be difficult to keep their speed in the stars and moon unless they get rid of the old ones.
What's more, it is on the way under the scorching sun without stopping and sleepless. Many of them have peeled their lips due to lack of water, and their eyes are already blue and black, and their legs/legs are red and swollen after the skin has been worn out. No matter how tight the time is, this body has to pay attention to one or two.
Otherwise, even if you arrive at the scene as soon as possible, you have to recuperate for a few days, otherwise you will just give it a head.
"Camp on the spot tonight." He Dangli turned around and commanded.
"Whoa."
The tents are all dark green tents for the military, which are waterproof and fireproof, simple and dirt-resistant, and easy to carry. Due to the scarcity of water along the way, this time I encountered a river, and naturally filled all the buckets that had already been empty, or some people couldn't bear the smell on their bodies, so they took a bath happily.
At night, bonfires were lit for lighting, and several teams were divided to patrol the first half of the night and the second half of the night.
After discussing the matter with his staff, He Dangli walked into the tent with a small white porcelain medicine bottle in his hand, and when he saw the people inside, his tone was obviously a little hard; "If you're not used to it, it's better to leave as soon as possible, after all, this time it's too rushed." When he saw his face, which had become more and more thin in just a few days, a pair of heroic eyebrows slightly frowned into the word 'Chuan'.
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing his expression of refusing to admit defeat, he couldn't help but sigh and said; "The days of marching and fighting are not as good and fun as you might think, and you even have to hang your head on the waistband of your trousers all the time. And we are all people who are used to this kind of life, you are different, I don't want you to spoil your body so much because of the strength of the moment. Don't let me force myself to do what you don't like, it's not worth knowing. ”
She knew she was born stupid, but there were some things she had to say. couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him again, and his mood was even more impetuous.
The tent covers a small area, and there are very few facilities and utensils inside.
"But Ah Li can get used to it, and I, an eight-foot man, will be afraid of this. Besides, I just didn't get used to it at first. Maybe it will be better in a while. Su Yan, who secretly followed the army in front and set off with a dead face, became He Dangli's dog-headed military advisor at the moment, lying on the simple bed with panic written on his face, holding the brocade quilt under him with both hands, for fear of suffering from being disgusted and burdensome halfway.
He was more worried that Ah Li would look down on him because of this, and even wanted to replace him. No, he wouldn't allow it, it was an opportunity he had earned so hard.
"I... Never mind. He Dangli wanted to say something, but as soon as he met her gaze, his heart suddenly softened. only secretly spit on himself and affected him.
"Come here, I'll help you with the medicine." What's more, she has said this many times, but the other party doesn't listen. If he talks too much, I'm afraid that even people will be disgusted, I just hope that he can retreat as soon as possible.
"I'll just do it myself." Su Yanzhen blushed, and pulled the somewhat slippery brocade quilt up the time. This time, she didn't touch her pants at all.
After all, this matter is really too embarrassing, and it is still in front of Ah Li, I am afraid that his man's self-esteem and status will be difficult to erect.
"And although Ah Li has not only seen and eaten that place, but now is not what it used to be, I don't want Ah Li to see such an ugly scene in my place." and he can't let Ah Li drug him even if he is killed, which is his last bottom line for the most man.
He Dangli pursed his lips, looked at him several times, and said after half a sound; "Okay, I'm outside the tent, remember to call me if anything." He put down the wound medicine in his hand, then turned around and lifted the curtain to leave.
After making sure that the others were going out, Su Yan trembled and stretched out his hand from the thin quilt, and then lifted the lower half of his body that covered the quilt and was not wearing an inch.
Gritting his teeth, he opened the medicine bottle tremblingly and poured white powder into his legs, which were full of red/swollen skin from the long ride. If you accidentally tear somewhere, your face will be distorted in pain, and you will gasp.
But she still endured it, because Ah Li can persevere with a girl, and even do better than most men in the world, what can he do as a man to hold her back.
If you like her, then you must strive to make yourself better and stronger, and be a person worthy of her.
After all, his Ah Li is so good.
It is said that He Dangli did not leave immediately after walking out of the tent, but stopped by the curtain for a long time. With excellent ear power, she could naturally hear the suppressed cry coming from within.
The curly blue eyelashes were half-drooping, obscuring the dark deep thought. In the palm of the rough blistered hand is a piece of jade pendant as colored as a tender willow, and there is a bright thing as red wool floating inside.
At this moment, Zhu San, who had just come back from bathing by the river, also walked over, and took several cleanly washed carrots in his hands, which looked fresh and delicious.
"Hey, why are you outside. It just so happens that I have a lot of good things to eat here. As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his mysterious chest, opened it, and said that it was not the mulberry that had already ripened purple, and smiled like a treasure; I found this one in the neighborhood for a long time, so I thought I'd bring it back for you to taste. ”
