Chapter 50: The Captive
. Hearing that Gongsun Tao had finished distributing the prisoners, the soldiers of the guard battalion began to clean up the battlefield separately. After this battle, more than 40 people died in the guard battalion, which can be called tragic. However, compared to the horse team of 500 people, there were only seven people left in the end, and the guard camp was a big victory.
It's just that in the territory of the empire, encountering such a battle made many people feel bad after all.
The sunset has gradually sunken, and it refuses to offer a single ray of brilliance to the earth, and it seems that tonight can only rest nearby. Gongsun Tao led the girl over, looked at Zuo Yin, who still felt incredible, and gave him the rope, and the other end of the rope tied the girl's hands.
Zuo Yin looked at Gongsun Tao with a puzzled look, wanting to understand why it was him, it couldn't be because he was the one who had fought with this girl.
Gongsun Tao looked introverted and asked in a deep voice, "Zuo Yin, do you think you can win her?" ”
Zuo Yin tilted his head slightly and thought about it, at the last moment, his strength was obviously much greater than that of the girl, and under the two pinching each other, it should be him who won the victory.
Gongsun Tao shook his head, "With your state of mind, at the last moment, it is difficult to kill the hand." Looking at Zuo Yin's slight thought, Gongsun Tao smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's one thing to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and it's another thing to kill women and children, but this girl is not a woman or a child." ”
After that, Gongsun Tao glanced back at the girl. When the two were talking, she kept silent, as if she was already a "qualified" captive.
Zuo Yin has some understanding, the battlefield is cruel, and this is it. However, he Zuo Yin is not a pedantic person, but the first time he encountered this kind of thing, his mood was a little relaxed.
Gongsun Tao said: "You Zuo Yin is not a stupid person, so this time I handed over this captive to you for detention, and faced the thorny flowers, next time, I will not be stabbed." Then he gave the rope to Zuo Yin.
Zuo Yin clenched his fists, "Thank you Camp Commander Gongsun for your kindness." ”
Gongsun Tao waved his hand, but went to arrange the cleaning of the battlefield and the stationing of tonight.
Now there is no one else around, Zuo Yin looked at the rope in his hand, and then looked at the girl on the other end of the rope, slightly embarrassed. At this time, he took a closer look at this heroic girl.
The girl's eyebrows and eyes are very sharp, which is why when she covered her hair, Zuo Yin didn't see her daughter's body, more precisely, the girl has a neutral temperament.
Her whole body was covered with dust and mud, mixed with bloodstains, of course, the soldiers on the battlefield were not much different, and so was Zuo Yin. There were still some faint traces of blood on the corners of the girl's mouth, which was estimated to be a kick from Gongsun Tao at the last moment, which gave the girl some internal injuries. Her original green silk was already a little messy, and her current appearance was seen in the middle of the night, which is estimated to scare many people.
Zuo Yin sighed, only then did he feel that there was a fishy smell in his mouth, it was his own blood mixed with other people's blood, he was suddenly a little nauseous, he pulled up a piece of dead grass from the ground, skillfully peeled off the outer layer, and held the dry grass in his mouth, the unique taste of the grass stems diluted the fishy smell in his mouth.
In this process, the girl has not said a word, just quietly watched Zuo Yin's movements, but after all, she is still immature, there is unconcealed horror and disgust in her eyes, and her tied hands are stubbornly protecting her chest, as if she is afraid that Zuo Yin will do something like a beast.
Zuo Yin looked at this girl who was full of vigilance, and suddenly didn't know how to deal with it.
He scratched his head, since the other party was still fighting to the death with him just now, then he could be treated as an ordinary prisoner. Just when Zuo Yin was thinking about it, Lin Lao hummed a small tune and walked over slowly, Zuo Yin was a little embarrassed, and the rope in his hand was so awkward.
Lin Lao's head was a little shiny in the last sunset, and he smiled directly at Zuo Yin: "It's okay, I believe that your kid is a person and won't do anything bad, I'm just going to take a look at the injuries of the two of you." ”
Zuo Yin waved his free hand again and again, "It's okay, it's just a small injury." ”
Lin Lao saw the blood stains in the palm of his hand, and grabbed it, but it was the blood stains that Zuo Yin had just dragged the girl's spear, which was worn by the rough body of the spear. Lin Lao looked at it a few times, it was not a big problem, and said lightly: "It's good to cultivate, tie it with a clean cloth for a while, and both hands are like this?" ”
Zuo Yin nodded, and Lin Lao said: "Your kid has a good life, but it's a pity that he is still a kid, and he hasn't even passed the beauty pass." Zuo Yin smiled bitterly and didn't justify, but the girl gritted her teeth behind Zuo Yin, her eyes showed eyes like a kitten in a desperate situation, and she didn't seem to agree with Lin Lao to compare her to a beauty.
Lin Lao noticed this, a little strange, "There are still girls in this world who don't like to be praised as beauties, interesting, but Zuo boy, you can take it easy." ”
There was a hint of remembrance in the old man's eyes, "The soldiers at the bottom can't feel it clearly, but in the Northern Expedition back then, the mutual penetration of spies and assassins on both sides was not inferior to the battlefield at all, and the generals and strong people who were lost by the empire were not alone." ”
Zuo Yin understands a little, it seems that Gongsun Tao is acting on orders, and Wu Gong wants to get rid of the weakness in his heart little by little?
His Zuo Yin's luck is really good, with such two old people who care about him like his grandfather.
After that, Lin Lao shook his head and said to Zuo Yin, "The meal is ready, come over quickly." ”
Zuo Yin led the girl to the middle of the camp, and after the guards saw it, they showed an ambiguous smile, so that Zuo Yin didn't know how to walk when she walked, but the girl didn't care, whoever looked at her, she glared back fiercely, as if she spurned these guys who killed her comrades.
Tonight's meal was sticky porridge, filling, easy to digest, and above all, convenient for the captives, whose hands were tied together.
Zuo Yin took two bowls of rice and handed the steaming bowl to the girl behind her, and the girl looked back at Zhou Jinkang, who was drinking porridge one by one, tasting the same as chewing wax.
Tears flowed out of the girl's eyes, but she quickly wiped them off with her cuffs, not wanting such an "ugly state" to appear in the eyes of this group of murderers. Looking at the bowl handed over by Zuo Yin, she glared at Zuo Yin fiercely, then picked up the bowl and began to drink the porridge in a big gulp, not afraid of the hot at all.
Zuo Yin was a little helpless, the rest of the horse team were like this, it seems that their fate is doomed, but I don't know if those rebels who fought against the Jiangxi Army were as unyielding as this horse team? And these people have appeared in the originally prosperous Guanzhong Plain, so the situation in the entire Western Wilderness may not be optimistic.
Paying attention to these things, on the one hand, Zuo Yin is interested, on the other hand, it is also to prepare for entering the Imperial Martial Arts Hall, archery, horsemanship, military strategy, he Zuo Yin plans to sharpen his guns in the past few days, but it still has some effect, but this eloquence is really difficult for him.
Zuo Yin drank the porridge while worrying about those tests, and soon finished eating, and after he took the bowl from the girl's hand, the girl hesitated rarely, and whispered:
"One more bowl."
The sound was like a dragonfly dotting water, flying past Zuo Yin's ears.
Almost inaudible.
Well? Zuo Yin originally suspected that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw that the girl lowered her head, and the redness in her ears didn't know if it was due to shyness or the reflection of the firelight, Zuo Yin was a little speechless, this girl was estimated to be younger than him, and her appetite was so large.
Zuo Yin had no choice but to fill her with another bowl, and after watching her finish eating, he handed the bowl to the cook who worked part-time as a guard. After the girl finished eating, she seemed to be looking for something again, she took out a handkerchief from her chest, carefully wiped her small mouth after the meal, and put it back in, looking at Zuo Yin with some surprise.
Lin Lao shook over again, fortunately, Zuo Yin knew Lin Lao's personality, otherwise he would really think that it was because of a girl that the old man would come over frequently.
Lin Lao smiled a little and asked Zuo Yin:
"Zuo boy, test your eyesight, what is the identity of this girl?"
Zuo Yin was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Lin Lao should have seen that this girl was not a soldier of the original Jiangxi Army, so he asked, he glanced at the girl, and there was almost no difference from just now in his eyes, and the girl glared back at Zuo Yin, and it was also good to see that Zuo Yin enthusiastically served her an extra bowl of rice, not as fierce as at the beginning.
Zuo Yin shook his head, "I like it very much, clean?" Marksmanship seems to have some rhythm and should be well trained. ”
Lin Lao pointed to the girl and said: "From a person's standing, sitting, eating, as well as spiritual temperament, eyes, and habits, you can see a person's cultivation, or growth environment, this little girl was born, not a high-ranking valve, but it is also a rich family, it is estimated that it is famous in a county, it can still be done, right?" ”
When the girl heard Lin Lao's analysis, her eyes returned to a little sharper, and at the same time, she was mixed with some anger and pain, like a wounded little beast, it seemed that she had been poked in the sore spot.
Lin Lao disagreed, and continued: "So, check those big families that have been raided by the empire over the years, perhaps, she is one of the people who are on the run?" ”
The girl lowered her head, looking like she was guessing what was going on, and Lin Lao patted Zuo Yin's shoulder, "Boy, have you figured out how you slept tonight?" ”
How to sleep?! Zuo Yin suddenly remembered that with a captive, did he have to guard it at night? Immediately, he reacted that he was ridiculed by Lin Lao. That Zhou Jinkang was tied to the center of the temporary camp while there were soldiers on the night vigil around him, and he led the girl to a big tree next to him according to the actions of others, and without saying much, he directly started the rope from the girl's wrist and wrapped it around the tree in a circle.
However, whenever the rope in Zuo Yin's hand went around the girl's upper body, she also twisted her body, and her youthful curves were undoubtedly revealed, and her eyes looked at Zuo Yin defiantly.
Zuo Yin turned a blind eye to this, and after wrapping up, he looked at the girl sitting on the ground, condescendingly, and sincerely hugged his fists and said: "The girl is indeed a beauty, and she has offended a lot today." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Girlishly kicked the ground a few times, this person is not a person who does not understand the amorous feelings, and dares to face his heart, while still retaining firmness.
In this regard, he is even more terrifying.
