followed Beidou to the place where the man in black disappeared, Wen Qingzhu looked down, it was pitch black, not very real.

If you listen closely, you can hear the faint sound of water.

Wen Qingzhu remembered something, Guo Da said that Xiao Wang was not familiar with the terrain here.

Now it seems that the man must be familiar with this place.

Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes, turned his head to look in the direction of Dingyuan City, and said to Beidou and Lei Shuo: "The situation is unclear now, we have to rush back as soon as possible!" ”

The corpses of the Huns were of little value, so Wen Qingzhu found a vacant land and burned it directly into powder and sprinkled it into the river.

As for Guo Da's body, it must still be valuable, let Beidou wrap it in Guo Da's own clothes and carry it back.

The previous cave was no longer safe, and they had to change places to rest.

After passing through the place where Boss Yu's body was found earlier, the headless body was gone, and even some obvious traces had been cleaned up.

This made Wen Qingzhu more and more solemn, it seemed that this action was very important to them.

Whether it is the Xiongnu or the spies on the side of Daqi.

After searching for about an hour, they found a new cave to rest.

For the sake of safety, this time it became two people taking turns on duty for the night.

When it was dawn, they set out at once, like arrows, and when it was dark, they finally came out of the forest.

But it will take at least an hour to get to Dingyuan City, and the best way is naturally to rush back as soon as possible, but Wen Qingzhu can't hold it anymore, Lei Shuo's legs are starting to tremble, but Beidou can't see anything unusual.

"Take a break!" Wen Qingzhu decided to rest in place.

She looked around, this was the place where they had first searched for water.

Beidou put down the body, went to the well to take a look, and returned empty-handed.

"The well was destroyed?" Wen Qingzhu frowned, and Beidou nodded.

Lei Shuo said in a hoarse voice: "Why don't you give your brother a signal?" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought of what happened in the mountains and forests, and couldn't help but look back, always feeling that that person might not necessarily leave.

"Let's take a break and we'll talk about it later." Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and rested.

Not long after, Beidou came over with a water bag.

Wen Qingzhu asked about a strong green taste, opened her eyes, and saw Beidou handing her the water bag and motioning her to drink.

Taking the water bag, Wen Qingzhu took a sip, his mouth was suddenly full of astringency, and his tongue suddenly stiffened.

But now it is necessary to replenish water, Wen Qingzhu held his breath and took a big sip directly, the rich juice slid through his throat, the texture was like a paste, and the taste was like celery that had been concentrated countless times, which was difficult to swallow.

"Thank you! Give Sister Shuo a sip and you can drink some too! Wen Qingzhu handed him the water bag.

Beidou took it to Lei Shuo, she just handed it to her mouth, and immediately took out the water bag: "What is this!" ”

"The sap of the tree is non-toxic and unpleasant, but it can replenish water in time." Wen Qingzhu's throat was better, and his voice had recovered two points.

Lei Shuo looked at the water bag and knew that he had to drink it, so he also held his breath and took a big sip.

But she couldn't swallow it at all, her stomach was tumbling, and she was about to vomit, Wen Qingzhu got up, lifted her chin, patted him on the back, and made her swallow it forcibly!

Wen Qingzhu handed the water bag to Beidou, and he drank it all with an expressionless face, leaving not a drop left.

The three of them rested for two quarters of an hour, and most of their physical strength had recovered, and Wen Qingzhu immediately set off with them.

It didn't take long to come across an ox cart.

The driver of the car appeared to be a villager in the vicinity, wielding a whip in his hand.

There is no moon tonight, and it is very dark around.

All they saw was a shadow coming vaguely, and there was the sound of a cow mooing, whether it was the sound of a whip hitting a cow.

Wen Qingzhu and the others stood again, and waited until the ox cart approached before she spoke: "Old man! ”

"Phew—" The ox cart suddenly stopped, and the people on the cart made a surprised voice: "Who are you?" ”

Hearing this voice, Wen Qingzhu confirmed that it was an old man about fifty years old, and stepped forward respectfully: "We went up the mountain to collect medicine, but something happened, and now we can't walk, can we borrow the uncle's ox cart for use?" ”

"This, I'm afraid it won't work, I still have to go and give something to the next village!" The old man hesitated.

As soon as Lei Shuo opened his mouth, Wen Qingzhu hurriedly grabbed her and signaled her not to use money to lobby.

stopped her, Wen Qingzhu spoke: "That's okay, let's walk a little more, uncle go get busy first." ”

The old man walked over two steps, saw clearly that Lei Shuo was a girl's family, and suddenly became nervous: "Why are you still taking a girl out!" Do you know that the Huns have often come to commit crimes recently, robbing money and women! Recently, the neighborhood of the village has not been peaceful, and some people have gone to the city or Yunzhou! ”

"We just came to Dingyuan, and many things are not very clear, and we won't be next time!" Wen Qingzhu hurriedly explained, but he was attentive in his heart.

The old man looked at Lei Shuo from time to time, and finally sighed: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, so let's give you a ride." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Wen Qingzhu hurriedly thanked him.

With the ox cart, although not much faster, they can at least recuperate and recuperate, and they don't have to walk on their legs.

Idle is also idle, Wen Qingzhu opened his mouth and asked: "Since it is so unpeaceful here, why does the uncle have to go to the next village to deliver things so late?" "61 Library

"It's not a few days ago, there were a lot of Huns mixed in, the next village is next to the mountains and forests, of course the first to suffer, my son-in-law died, only my daughter and nephew are still alive, they are also injured, didn't I send them some food and medicinal materials and daily necessities?"

As the uncle spoke, his mood fell.

Wen Qingzhu originally wanted to ask your son what about them?

When I thought that this was Dingyuan, many families with sons were conscripted, and if one was not careful, I was afraid that he would die on the battlefield.

So she didn't ask more, but only asked about the impact of many Huns on the lives of the people.

sent them all the way, and the uncle sent them to the gate of the city.

Yang Liu was already waiting at the door, and when he saw them appear, he hurriedly ran over.

Beidou carried Guo Da's corpse out of the car, and the uncle asked curiously: "What are you fighting against?" How do you look a little like ......?"

The uncle didn't say it for a long time, Wen Qingzhu hurriedly explained: "It's like a wild boar, right!" It's a wild boar! This time, in addition to collecting medicine in the mountains and forests, I also shot a wild boar and came back! ”

While explaining, Wen Qingzhu hurriedly grabbed two pieces of silver from the baggage and handed them over: "Uncle, it's really troublesome for you!" I hope you don't see this bit of silver! ”

"Where, where! I'm just giving you a ride! That's a lot of silver! "Uncle excuse me.

Wen Qingzhu insisted on giving it, Lei Shuo couldn't stand it, so he took the gold and handed it over: "Uncle!" It's something we want to delay you, but the silver is actually a small amount! ”

Seeing that Uncle Jin was refusing more and more, Wen Qingzhu felt that something was not right, but he quickly found the opportunity and said: "There is a lot of gold, but not much silver!" Your daughter has just lost her husband, you can buy more food and medicinal materials with this silver and send it to your daughter! ”

At the mention of his daughter, the uncle's eyes were red, and he finally took the silver.

Wen Qingzhu glanced at the sky: "It's too late, the person who just came to pick us up is also here, I'll let two people send you over." ”

"You don't have to! That's what I used to walk! The uncle glanced behind them, Dingyuan here, but the soldiers and ordinary people are still quite big.

Wen Qingzhu insisted: "Haven't you been harassed by the Huns from time to time recently!" You are also the people of Daqi! They're always patrolling to protect you, so it's normal to walk a little more! ”

It seems that thinking of recent events, the uncle finally agreed.

Regarding the far away village, Wen Qingzhu wanted to know more, so he asked Yang Liu to bring two people to escort the uncle over.

Lei Shuo saw that they were about to leave, and she took advantage of the moment when Wen Qingzhu turned her head, walked over and quietly threw something into her uncle's car.

Yang Liu was about to ask, but she immediately admonished: "It's very hard for the uncle to send us back!" You're going to have to send him back! ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Wen Qingzhu went over and pulled Lei Shuo down and motioned for Yang Liu and them to go.

Yang Liu looked at the ox cart, and then looked back, only to see Lei Shuo frantic frowning!

In desperation, Yang Liu had no choice but to leave.

Wen Qingzhu and the others successfully returned to Lu's house, but they learned that Lu Lei and Lei Yan had gone to Yongheguan, and the Huns attacked last night!

"What about General Lu?" Wen Qingzhu glanced inside the house and found that Lu Chengen was not there.

Lu Shu led them to the house, and explained at the same time: "Dad went to General Zhao's side to discuss countermeasures, and all the border defenses in Dingyuan need to be controlled, according to the previous situation, they will have someone to attack head-on to attract attention, and they will also send a team of people to enter the atmospheric border to spy on it, in case it is not the people of the fourth prince, I am afraid that it will be another burning, killing and robbery." ”

"Wait! Yesterday the Huns attacked! Wen Qingzhu stopped, thinking of the uncle he had just met.

Lu Shu turned around: "Yes! The border is too long, and the Twin Peaks used to be the breakthrough point for our Great Qi, but now-"

She seemed to think of something bad, her expression was a little solemn, but she quickly said: "In short, it is very dangerous on the side of Shuangfeng Mountain now, and it is easy for the Huns to sneak in, you went over this time, my father originally disagreed, but thinking that the Huns attacked once not long ago, it should not be so fast, so I let you go, I didn't expect them to come again!" ”

"When will the general come back?" Wen Qingzhu felt that the situation was a little serious, and she needed to ask Lu Chengen about some of the situation.

Lu Shu shook her head: "I really don't know about this, but my father told me before leaving, saying that before Fu Wangye came back, you had better not reveal your identity!" ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Wen Qingzhu thanked him.

After a good meal and a refreshing bath, this can be regarded as a complete rest.

Lying on the bed, Lei Shuo asked her, "Uncle's side won't have an accident, right?" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "Probably not, although Yang Liu only brought two people over, it is still no problem to protect the uncle and his daughter's family!" ”

"Hope it's okay." Lei Shuo's voice lowered.

After waiting for a while, Wen Qingzhu said again: "You should have given Uncle Gold just now-"

When I looked sideways, I found that Lei Shuo had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, breathing long and even.

Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly, got up and pulled the quilt to cover her.

She quietly walked out, and Green Tao and Jasmine were already waiting for her at the door.

Wen Qingzhu led them to the study next door, sat down and asked, "In the past few days since I left, everything is okay in the city?" ”

"Not so good." Green Tao thought for a moment and shook his head directly.

Wen Qingzhu's heart sank slightly: "Why is it not good?" ”

Green Tao replied: "I've been inquiring about the news of the army in Dingyuan, and Jasmine is collecting news from the people in the city and Mrs. Sulu. ”

"Tell me about your side first." Wen Qingzhu was probably thirsty for too long, his throat was dry and itchy, and he couldn't help but pick up the kettle and pour himself a glass of water.

Green Tao nodded: "I inquired carefully, and I also got some words from Mrs. Lu Shu, the situation of the Lu family is not optimistic, it seems that the General's Mansion is in charge, but there are less than 100,000 soldiers in their hands!" ”

"Why is it less than 100,000!" Wen Qingzhu's hand that put down the cup was slightly heavy.

Lu Tao took a letter and came out: "I went to Zuo's house to investigate, and was found by Lord Zuo, this is a letter he wrote to his wife." ”
