Lok Ma Chau has always been strange, from a distance it is a network of rivers, aquatic plants and reeds are all over it, belonging to the area where the Xueling River and the upper reaches of Gabu Lake meet, and thousands of years of accumulation to form a unique river beach wetland. In fact, this place is full of swamps, poisonous snakes and beasts haunt it, and all the people and horses are accidentally fallen, so it is named Lok Ma Chau.

There is a haunting Motuo Department here, and it is rumored that Motuo Erlang is all extraordinary, and he has worshiped the true god of black water for generations, born in Si and raised in Si. The black water cavalry of Motuo was as fast as the wind and plundered like fire, and often attacked and killed the enemy tribe with lightning speed, and even the king's dragoon was unwilling to face this unruly horse.

Because the old patriarch died of illness three years ago, the heirs were unevenly divided, and the dispute became stiff, and they each moved into the vicinity of the Beihu royal court with two tribes and integrated into the mainstream of the grassland dynasty.

The men and horses of Pingkang Wang Youqi encountered the crazy pursuit of the king's dragon horse, and 40,000 dragon horsemen went into battle in light armor, and everywhere they went, it was like a hurricane crossing. Meritorious service, bent on being able to block the people of the Pingkang Wang, but it backfired, the Pingkang King's troops were erratic and elusive, and the king's account dragon cavalry was divided into two ways to chase and intercept.

The two sides chased and bitten, strangled each other, chased and fled, and traveled thousands of miles. King Pingkang bit a wheat stalk in his mouth, his eyes were solemn, and he stood on the wind-eroded sand castle and looked into the distance.

Thoughts drifted back to the divine light, at this time the two sides of the Longyuan River should have started the endless rainy season, if there is nothing to worry about, move a bamboo chair, lie under the eaves of the corridor to watch the plantain listen to the rain. If you can't find a water source again, I'm afraid that you won't have to chase and kill the dragon rider of the king's account, and you will die of thirst here.

"Yun Lishou, take 2,000 people with me to the front to find water. The rest of the people were broken into pieces, resting in situ and paying attention to vigilance. You Qi spit out the wheat stalks in his mouth and turned back to give the order.

30,000 horses chased after several battles, converted into more than 10,000, and after rectifying here, after counting, it was just enough for 18,000 men and horses.

Human life is like a mustard, one by one fell on the vast grassland, bitten by the mad dog-like king account dragoon, the days are naturally very difficult, at this time has been driven away from the Gabu Lake corridor area, You Qi is full of thoughts about how to get out of the current crisis.

In order to chase and kill them, the king's dragon cavalry went into battle lightly armed with bows, knives and crossbows, although it was ambushed and ambushed by the Youqi Department, suffered a lot of losses, and suffered large losses of men and horses, but fortunately, the individual combat ability of individual soldiers was strong, and they were all supported until the other reinforcements arrived, and finally the light cavalry on the western front took the initiative to retreat, otherwise it would fall into the counter-encirclement, and when the time came, it would be defeated inside and outside.

King Zekang is well versed in the art of war, so he doesn't know that the king's tent dragon rider is coming at them, and many times he takes the initiative to enter the ambush circle, and the main general has the idea of putting them to death and resurrecting them, intending to lure the main force of the divine light to fight a decisive battle.

At this time, the Saiwai grassland entered the dry season in late spring, and it had not rained for nearly half a month, and many tribes had to migrate from water to grass, which was very unfavorable to the Zekang royal department of guerrilla warfare. However, now there are dragon cavalry garrisons in the Gabu Lake corridor, which is rich in water and grass, which compresses the space for guerrilla warfare.

Youqi led 2,000 men and horses to wander in the boundless grassland, thinking that if he couldn't find a water source to replenish it, he might have to find a way to contact Shuofang City, and if he retreated the same way, he was really unwilling.

"Report, three hundred miles in front of the right, after turning over a small hill, the river network is dense, and the water source is abundant." The forward spies dismount and report back.

"Do you know where lies ahead, what tribal forces there are?" When he heard that he had found a water source, he did not rush forward.

"The area is too wide to be discovered for a while." The spy replied truthfully.

"Leave the Mu Zi camp, and the rest of the horses will return to the Wind Erosion Sand Castle to assemble the team and be on standby at any time." King Zekang left his own soldiers, Mu Zi's battalion, and ordered Yun to leave the guard and return to assemble the troops.

When he led Mu Ziying over the hills in front of him and saw a water network of Hetao that could not be seen, he had the illusion of returning to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River for a moment.

"The Muzi battalion is divided into ten small teams, and they will be divided into snoops, don't startle the snakes, be sure to find out the topography of the entire area, the nomadic tribes, and gather here before dark."

"Order!" The squads of the Muzi battalion skillfully ran in all directions, and King Zekang led his own soldiers and guards to explore alone, this place is mainly a river beach wetland, inhabited by water birds and wild ducks, and there is quite a wild crossing without a boat to be arrogant.

King Zekang led the guerrilla army on the Western Front to eat and drink the dew, the curtain was on the ground, and he was seriously dehydrated for several days, his lips were chapped, and his spirit was exhausted.

Youqi was vigorous and often took the lead in going out to investigate the military situation, so he rode out without waiting for the guards to follow, and the pro-soldier squads scattered out to explore the terrain and collect water.

After turning over a highland hill, I saw a huge birch forest in the valley in front of me, lush and green, and the white poles pointed straight to the sky.

He drove the horse into the deep grass and sun, and after two miles, he saw a lake in the distance, sparkling in the sun. The water quality is clear, the entrance is sweet, leaning over and lying on the water's edge to drink a cow, it is really a long drought and a rain, and the mind is exceptionally refreshing. You Qi put his hand on his eye socket to look out, and the picture shows the vast area in the first place, the lake is over, and the long clouds are filled; To the north of the lake, there are faint snow-capped mountains that stretch for thousands of miles.

Rinse your face with a handful of cold lake water, although it is tiring, but if you itch your boots, you will not be able to swim in the next lake. Thinking of it, he took off his armor, revealing his sturdy upper body, and his tendons and flesh made him particularly strong, and at this time he looked more like a rough man with strong strength, and he didn't see the elegance of the prince of Shenguang at all.

It is like a dragon returning to the sea, swimming freely in the water, and diving and backswimming freely. After several months of battlefield fighting, especially after the defeat of the Lingwu Marquis at Gabu Lake, he led his troops to lightning guerrilla warfare with a high degree of tension, and often fell asleep on horseback during the march.

The lake is located in a birch forest, like a desert oasis, separated by hills that protrude from the shore, and is divided into two incomplete parts. You Qi a fierce son plunged down, swam out far away, when he came out of the water, he had reached the vicinity of the hill in the water, at this time he heard the laughter of someone, and he was suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but slowly go around, close to the edge of the rock and look secretly,

At this time, I saw several women playing and bathing in the lake, and a few horses wandering and grazing on the shore.

On the sparkling lake, four delicate women surrounded a graceful figure, like a smudged pink snow lotus, between the smoke waves, exuding a shining sunshine around her body, unable to distinguish whether it was the refraction of water waves and sunlight, or the brilliance she emitted.

I saw her raise her smooth arm like a flower stem, tilt her head slightly, pull over a black hair, and carefully comb it with her fingers, every movement is so graceful, like a lotus flower slowly blooming.

"Plugging the wild lake, the beauty bathing, I'm afraid it's not a moth, right?" You Qi couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

At this time, the woman who was surrounded gently fell over her hair, and when she turned around, a large piece of snow white was faintly revealed between the ups and downs of her body, You Qi couldn't help but swallow her saliva, her eyes widened, and she was conquered by the tall snow-capped mountains in an instant, maybe the sun was too dazzling, and he felt dizzy in his head. It seems that the beauty kneaded by the white snow of Gabu Snow Mountain is clearer and cleaner than the lake water, like a trickle of snow water washing away all impurities in the world, and at this time, the woman also happened to see the wide-eyed Youqi, and shouted in panic,

"Who?" As soon as the words fell, the man had already dived into the water.

The maids around her naturally noticed the suspicious situation, and covered Motuotiange to sneak to the shore, and after getting dressed, got on the horse and chased after him.

Poor Youqi swam too far just now, and on the way back at this time, he was blocked by five people. After confiscating his clothes, he was ordered not to go ashore, so he could only stay in the water and ask questions.

"Please forgive me for being abrupt, Youqi unintentionally bumped into a few bathers, this lake is so big, let's use one side and not conflict." Youqi explained with an embarrassed face as he stood upright with his feet on the water, only exposing his head on the surface of the lake.

Unfortunately, the maids did not understand his words, but instead slammed the lake with a long whip, cursing angrily in their mouths

Motuotiange understood Chinese, but he didn't answer for a while, and turned his head to speak to the maid on the horse.

Fearing that they would continue to be misunderstood, and fearing that they would take up their bows and arrows and shoot themselves, they cautiously approached, raised their hands, and walked ashore.

"Stop!" Seeing Youqi raise his hand and walk ashore, the startled Motuo Tiange blurted out that several maids had already bent their bows and pulled the strings, ready to shoot this strange reckless man at any time.

Although it was a wild bath, Yuki was still used to wearing close-fitting shorts to go into the water. On the contrary, to his surprise, several women of different races obviously did not shy away from it, and actually stared at him with wide eyes and walked ashore step by step from the water, which was completely different from the boudoir show girls who were very strict in the Shenguang Dynasty.

"It turns out that the girl can understand Chinese, and there is no malice in the next, it was purely by chance." Youqi explained with a sincere face again, and at the same time signaled to return the clothes, although there are close-fitting shorts, but at this time, most of them are exposed, what kind of body.

When he was about to bend down to pick up his saber on the ground, he was stopped by a feathered arrow in his hand, and immediately the maid glared at him arrogantly, as if to tell him to be honest, and the next arrow was not shot at the ground, but through his chest.

At this time, Motuotiange's mind was also blank, and in the process of staring at Youqi walking ashore from the water step by step, she was attracted by the sturdy figure of the man in front of her, especially the large and small scars on his body, which were dotted on his white and strong chest. Different from the rough skin of the man in the grassland, the skin on the body of the man in front of him is particularly tight and delicate, and the tall body walks under the support of thick and powerful thighs, as if it is a natural sculpture eroded by the wind, with hard lines, and a perfect combination of strength and balance.

Motuotiange's heart was like a deer colliding with each other, and she became unprecedentedly shy, and the flush on her cheeks quickly spread and crawled all over the swan's neck, if it weren't for her own red face, I am afraid that she would be seen through at this time.

At this time, Youqi was also able to carefully look at the tall woman in front of him, which was very different from the grace of the beautiful girl in the south of the Yangtze River, under the backdrop of foreign costumes, although his face was flushed, a pair of big eyes were still staring at him, and the whole person revealed a heroic beauty, as if it was a snow lotus blooming on the cliff on Gabu Snow Mountain, beautiful and clear.

What makes him most excited is her pair of water-cut apricot eyes, watery, smart and wise, as if containing a pool of spring water.

Motuo Tiange couldn't pay attention for a while, Motuo Erlang galloped across the grassland, wanton and happy, and unrestrained.

Therefore, men and women love freely, and a bonfire party can be used as a bed in the sky and a blind date on the ground, but by heart's desire.

In fact, it is not uncommon for young men and women to take a wild bath and merge together, but it will be passed on as a good story in the clan, so there is often a precedent for a wild bath to set a marriage, and the next day a man comes to the door to propose marriage.

It's just that the person in front of him is not from the Motuo tribe, and seeing that he is wearing armor, he is somewhat similar to the rumored warriors who fought in the south, and his appearance and demeanor should be that of a foreigner, and he suddenly broke into the territory of the Motuo tribe.

Motuo Tiange had no choice but to order the maid to tie up and escort the Hui clan first, and slowly interrogate him. You Qi watched the sky gradually darken, and estimated that the pro-soldier team was exploring around, and he also had the heart to explore the ethnic groups here, so he followed a few people very obediently, and quietly threw the jade and other ornaments on the ground while walking.......

It was said that the day had just been dark, and the Mu Zi Battalion pro-soldier squad returned to the agreed place to assemble, and waited for a long time to see the return of the commander, and asked the guards and soldiers to learn that the two were not in sight after they separated in a birch forest area, so anxious that the Muzi Battalion soldiers divided into two ways, one way back to report the news, leading the army to quietly enter the Lok Ma Chau wetland, and the other way to find the boss.

Youqi tried to communicate with Motuo Tiange along the way, and said a lot of good things, but the response was a few whips from the maid next to him.

Mototengo looked at the alien man in front of him and looked quite handsome in armor, but he thought of the messenger lobbyist sent by his two elder brothers. The two brothers did not respect the training, led the tribe to join the Beihu royal family, and now they are sending lobbyists to ask the Motuo tribe to cooperate with the royal tent dragoon to fight, and send troops to encircle the prince of Shenguang.

In the years of the rise of the Beihu royal court, the tribes on the grassland were often suppressed by force, and the obedient ones prospered, and the rebels died, and the Xiqiang tragedy was vividly remembered, causing complaints from nomadic races around the country, and the old patriarch repeatedly told the Motuo tribe to stick to Luomazhou before his death, but the era of the two brothers advocating the great integration of the grassland came, and the chosen son of the immortal heaven has been born.

At this time, the Motuo people who stayed in Lok Ma Chau, led by Mo Tu Tiange, scattered and guarded in the wetland hills of Lok Ma Chau, temporarily away from the bloody wind and rain on the grassland.

After all, they couldn't hide, and the distant Motuo Black Water Cavalry and some of the king's tent dragoons were jointly responsible for the defense of the royal court area, and could not participate in the siege of King Pingkang's army. However, thinking that there were 20,000 Motuo people still staying in Lok Ma Chau, the two brothers took the initiative to ask Tuoba Tianyang, the commander of the King Tent Dragoon, to send someone to persuade their younger sister Motuo Tiange to send troops, and then block the vast area in the corridor between Lok Ma Chau and Gabu Lake, further squeezing out the guerrilla depth space of the Shenguang Western Front Army.

Along the way, Youqi was blindfolded, and could only be measured by footsteps, turning left and right, climbing mountains and wading through waters, and finally arrived at the tribal settlement after several turnovers, at this time he was tied with his hands and guarded in the patriarch's tent.

You listened attentively, all kinds of voices were noisy and intertwined, and it was likely to be a large ethnic settlement. In fact, the scale of the Motuo tribe is far beyond his imagination, there are more than 10,000 people in this place alone, and there are tens of thousands of nomadic people in the grassland, so this Motuo tribe can arm a cavalry team of 20,000 people at any time, and it is also a leader in the vast grassland.

Just now, the sorcerer's mother-in-law in the clan pulled her and said, "The disaster star has entered the world, and the disaster star has entered the world." Tian Ge really couldn't understand what kind of disaster they would have if they stayed away from the strife and stuck in Luomazhou, but he couldn't help frowning when he thought of the two elder envoys who were still eating and drinking in the side account.

Mo Tu Tiange looked at Youqi in front of him quite playfully, fortunately, the two of them didn't know each other's identities, otherwise they might not be able to look at each other peacefully. After Youqi was taken off his blindfold, he was very unsuitable for the brilliant environment, and for a while his eyes were hazy and shining, and after Mo Tutiange, who was sitting on the main seat, changed into civilian clothes, he was extremely beautiful and refined.

"What are you looking at?" A strong man next to him, one hand slapped on the back of Youqi's head, Mo Tuoerlang turned over on the horse to fight during the war, and grazing the horse in his spare time, his hand was very strong, and he was dizzy with a slap.

Where has Youqi suffered such a great humiliation, women's waists and men's heads can't be touched, not to mention the dignified Shenguang to the great prince, a slap was slapped, and he got up directly to resist, who had ever wanted to be knocked over by a few strong men behind him again, and suffered a few kicks in his chest, short of breath and chest tightness, and his heart was extremely depressed.

Fortunately, he was stopped by Motuo Tiange, otherwise under the black hands of the Motuo warriors, he would have to beat him and vomit blood.

If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, and this is true everywhere.

After some interrogation, Youqi stiffened his mouth and did not speak, and when he was forced to be in a hurry, he said that he could only talk to Motuotiange alone, and no one else was allowed to be present. Motuo Tiange saw that he was extraordinary, presumably not an ordinary soldier, and he had the heart to ask what was going on in the outside world, so he asked the samurai to stay outside, not to pass orders, and not to enter the account.

Therefore, there is a big staring at each other, as if whoever diverts his gaze first will fall behind. The rope behind Youqi had been broken loose in the fight just now, and he estimated in his heart that if he broke out, would he be able to restrain Motuo Tiange in a short time? Thinking of the samurai patrolling outside the account, he had to temporarily suppress this caution and look for a better opportunity.

"I've said it many times, the girl misunderstood, and it was a coincidence that she didn't mean to offend." You Qi said with a smile.

"Where are you from? Why are you here? Motuo Tiange opened his mouth lightly, his voice crisp, and he looked around him as he spoke.

"May I ask the girl, where is this? What tribe are we? I came from the Gabu Lake corridor in the south, and I stumbled into Guibao Land by mistake. You Qi asked with a clear mind.

"You Southern Barbarian is not honest, ask where you come from, what is your intention?"

Youqi thought in his heart that he would capture the thief and capture the king first, and when Mo Tuo Tiange turned to his side, he suddenly became difficult, hoping to hold her in one fell swoop, but he didn't want this woman to slip like a loach, and she couldn't hold the lock at all, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, so she had to rub her body and pounce on it again.

"Oh, I really have bad intentions." Motuo Tiange mocked him calmly.

The samurai outside was just about to open the tent and rush in, but was stopped by Motuotiange, "Strengthen the vigil patrol, without an order, it is strictly forbidden to enter the tent, just a southern barbarian." ”

The laughter of the crowd dispersed, leaving only two people to stand outside the tent. It is necessary to know that Motuo Erlang is not divided into men and women, all of them are skilled in archers and horses, and Motuo Tiange is a teacher of the Snow Mountain, and there is a team of 1,000 female cavalry under his command, all of them are agile, not inferior to the bearded men, everyone is not worried about the safety of the wolf master, thinking that subduing a Nanban is not a matter of being captured, the tent is wide, and the two of them toss.

Youqi lungeed and bent his knees, soaring into the air like an eagle falcon to eat, only to see Motuo Tiange squatting at the waist and squat, kicking out with one foot, like a rabbit kicking his legs, resisting the Youqi who pounced on the food, and there was still the strength of the counterattack, the two flashed and moved in the tent, fists and feet exchanged, Youqi made a strong gesture and sank, Tiange relied on his clever body, and the two fought evenly for a while.

couldn't attack for a long time, Youqi's physical exertion was too great, and Tiange was also drenched in sweat, and the two of them stared at each other as if they were fighting a bull.

Youqi was really shocked in his heart, thinking that although he didn't dare to say that he was a thousand enemies in the army, he was also a first-class strong player, he had followed his father to hunt since he was a child, and he had a solid foundation, and he had a big internal master to feed him, and he raised a long strength, and now he met a woman from the Cypriot tribe who couldn't take it down, and he couldn't get over his face.

And Motuo Tiange's heart is like a stormy wave, thinking that she was sent to Gabu Snow Mountain Dalun Temple by the old wolf lord at the age of ten to learn art, and it took more than ten years to be put down the mountain, and she has always been a rare opponent in the clan, even the two brothers failed to defeat her, so they could only lead the troops to move away, and now they actually met a Nanban, and the two met each other for a while.

After a short rest, Youqi took the initiative to attack again, and made a move to move and block the hammer, the wind and thunder burst, Tiange saw that he was more powerful, and he didn't dare to take it hard, twisted his waist and swung his hips, and attacked him sideways three inches under his armpit, which was extremely feminine. If you don't withdraw the move, hammer down, both defeats are inevitable, and in desperation, as long as you withdraw the step and change the hammer into the palm, the hand knife is cut diagonally.

Tian Ge raised his arm with one hand to unload the force, and the other hand climbed on Youqi's shoulder, wrapping around him like a boneless snake, Tian Ge has a slender body, especially a pair of long legs dancing like a long whip, it is enchanting and charming, and it will become tighter and tighter after being wrapped around the torso.

I saw Tiange sliding around to Youqi's back, his legs wrapped around Youqi's double straddles, and his hands strangled his neck, intending to strangle. You Qi turned left and right, couldn't fall off her, so he simply hugged Tiange's thigh with one arm, jumped high, and smashed his back to the ground. This trick is a typical Beihu wrestling technique, and with the strength of the inner family of the thousand pounds, Tiange never thought that he was also proficient in wrestling, and he was accidentally smashed to the ground, but fortunately, it was covered with carpets, otherwise he would be dizzy and dizzy at this time.

Tiange didn't dare to let his head hit the ground, so he could only go back with all his strength and puff up his fascia. Even so, this smash was really powerful, the ground shook loudly, and in an instant, the strength of the crotch lock and the neck were loosened, and You Qi took the opportunity to turn over, and the two thick thighs pressed on the smooth thin legs of the woman under him, and the other two hands kept competing with her.

A careless move, was turned over and rode up by Youqi, and now he is extremely passive below, the posture of the two is extremely indecent, and he can't care about the rules of the move at this time, everything is for the purpose of subduing the other party, Tiange is even more shortness of breath with his head as a weapon.

The moves of the two at this time were more like children fighting, and the samurai who was keeping vigil outside could hear the banging inside, the sound of fists and feet, and couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.

Their bodies were tightly entwined, and they were all exhausted after a struggle, but no one dared to let their guard down. Tiange was suppressed and locked, and he couldn't get out, Youqi was afraid that she would attack with her head again, so he had to put his head tightly against Tiange's head from the side, and the posture of the two seemed extremely ambiguous to outsiders. Tiange couldn't break free, he couldn't get angry, and he couldn't shout, for fear of being heard by his subordinates outside, and he couldn't hold his face.

Both of them are arrogant people, and at this time, even if they fight to the end, they are not willing to beg for mercy, and Tiange disdains to call for help.

At this time, the two were tossing again, twisting their bodies with each other, one wanted to get rid of the situation of being suppressed and locked, and the other side was tightly coiled and locked, which was exactly what was said in the boxing scripture, "Hitting people is like kissing the mouth, and the people call me natural." "If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first get close to the enemy, and after getting close, you must be like a couple kissing, playing, and chasing, like glue, and there is no room for the slightest gap.

Unconsciously, it took half an hour again, because the two of them were close to the hand-to-hand combat, between the ears and temples, the body friction heated up, You Qi resisted the side of her head, and the exhaled breath was all sprayed on Tiange's slender neck and ears, causing Tiange Jiao to pant again and again, mixed with men's sweat stains and hot air impacting her heart for a while, the two escalated from ambiguity, and there was more inexplicable communication between their eyes.

I don't know who started, the two of them gasped and whispered, mixed with indescribable desires, Tiange obviously felt that the body of the man above had changed, after all, he had never stolen the love of men and women, and his brain was confused, I don't know if he had exhausted his strength from the fight just now or his mind was lost, and he couldn't lift his breath to break free, in short, the two were more closely entangled than just now.

You Qi is arrogant by nature, he can't bear it, and he directly kisses the smooth neck of Motuo Tiange in front of him, he doesn't know the taste of meat for a few months, he is naturally intoxicated, and the exotic woman's style is even worse, greedily pursuing the seductive breath, out of control.

Dry wood and fire, just a little bit. The two of them have fought to the death in hand-to-hand combat, and now their bodies are intertwined and confused, their deep voices are suppressed, humming and chirping, no one can imagine that the love in the world is so unreasonable. Don't say that the old man is confused and takes the wrong red rope, who knows that he is an old man who smiles at the red dust......

The more the interracial woman has a soft but elastic waist, and her breasts are high and straight, like a mountain, the more obsessed the man is with the desire for conquest that cannot be grasped by one hand.

When the two were obsessed with asking for each other, they had gradually let down their guard. At this time, Tiange turned over violently, pressed Youqi under him, looked at him coldly, and Youqi was shocked into a cold sweat on his back.

When the prince of Shenguang reluctantly closed his eyes and waited for the judgment of fate, Motuo Tiange kissed gently, gentle with a bit of brutality, fragrant tongue entangled, beauty like fire, igniting the protracted arid grassland, instantly turning into a prairie fire, burning to the fullest.

The two rolled and knocked down a bottle and jar again, and Youqi greedily asked for the style outside the plug, completely subverting the life experience of the eldest prince, the unity of knowledge and action, and the saint did not deceive. If there is no wanton indulgence, how can he be worthy of the heroic feelings of King Pingkangmu.......

Although the warriors outside the tent were dizzy, no one dared to break into the wolf lord's tent, the sky could not fall, the night sky of the grassland was sparse and the stars were scarce, the Milky Way was shallow, and the whole valley was lying or leaning on the ground......
