Somehow, Zhang Huang always felt that Cai Yan's attitude in the past two days was very abnormal.

I remember that on the way from Heyang to Yewang County, Cai Yan could be said to hate Zhang Huang to the core, and he was silent all day long, like a walking corpse. But a few days later, when he arrived in Yewang County, Cai Yan gradually changed his attitude, and his words to Zhang Huang gradually became pleasant, but a pair of beautiful eyes flashed from time to time with a trace of self-pity and self-pity as if resigned to fate.

Then yesterday, Zhang Huang and Cai Yan went to Shanyang County, because Cai Yan sold her hosta cheaply, so that Zhang Huang had some money, so when he arrived in Shanyang County, Zhang Huang did not hesitate to use the money on Cai Yan, found an inn, and booked a room for her to rest for a good night.

After all, the carriage they had bought in Yewang County was shabby, and it was really difficult for Cai Yan to rest in the car.

But somehow, since the second day of the fight, when he set off from Shanyang County again, Zhang Huang felt that Cai Yan's attitude had become strange again. I still remember that a few days ago, Cai Yan didn't even care about stripping naked and washing herself in front of Zhang Huang, but today, she was always red, but she didn't dare to look at Zhang Huang, even if sometimes the eyes of the two accidentally collided together, Cai Yan immediately shifted her gaze in fear.

Moreover, Cai Yan's eyes that regained their vigor but had a little more inexplicable look also surprised Zhang Huang.

"If the direction is correct, the next county seat that will pass through is Lin County, after Lin County, and then almost a day's journey, you will arrive at Wei County...... However, when I go to Linshu County from here, I am afraid that I will inevitably have to spend a day in the wilderness. …… I'll say hi to you first. ”

"Uh...... Oooh. Somehow, glancing at Zhang Huang with a puzzled face, Cai Yan nodded again and again.

"......" Zhang Huang glanced at Cai Yan suspiciously, and then drove the carriage and set off slowly. Although Cai Yan seems to have completely dispelled the idea of escaping in the past few days, Zhang Huang still can't help but remind her a few words: "This is Shanyang County, close to Shangdang County in Bingzhou, and in several prefectures in Hebei. It is the most dangerous situation of thieves and gangsters in the state...... So if it's okay, try not to show your head, so as not to cause extraneous branches. ”

I have to say that Zhang Huang's concerns are not unreasonable, after all, Bingzhou is not only the state with the strictest infringement by foreign tribes in the north, but also the state with the worst situation of thieves and bandits, and most of the outlaws in the Central Plains either fled to Youzhou or to Merge State, or because Youzhou and Merge have the worst public security. remembers that Zang Ba and Tai Shici also asked someone to excuse themselves and fled to Youzhou after committing the crime, which can be seen.

"Mmmmmm......" Cai Yan nodded repeatedly. It seemed that she kept Zhang Huang's advice in mind, but in fact, she didn't listen to what Zhang Huang said at this time, she just nodded absentmindedly. All she thought about was the before and after of taking a bath at the inn yesterday.

At that time, because she finally arrived at a decent place, Cai Yan took a bath comfortably, but in the process of taking a bath, she was shocked to find. It turned out that she was still in perfect shape at this moment.

This discovery was quite fatal, after all, she had always believed that she must have been abused by Zhang Huang during her coma. Accounted for the innocence. Therefore, after she woke up, she angrily scolded Zhang Huang and insulted Zhang Huang, but unfortunately she was frightened by Zhang Huang's momentum and threat. Not to mention fleeing in fright, he didn't even dare to kill himself, for fear that Zhang Huang would be like what he said. really went to find her sister Cai Wan as a replacement.

Since ancient times, most women have been obedient, and seeing that they are powerless to resist, Cai Yan had to reluctantly and against her will to convince herself, anyway, in her opinion, she has accidentally lost herself to Zhang Huang, which may be her fate in this life.

So, in those days, the question Cai Yan was thinking about gradually evolved from how to escape from Zhang Huang's control and return to Heyang or Hedong Wei's house, to how to persuade Zhang Huang, a misguided guy, how to get on the right path, after all, Cai Yan felt at that time that no matter whether she wanted to or not, losing to Zhang Huang meant that her life and Zhang Huang's life had been tied together, even if she coincidentally won the lottery, Cai Yan still hoped that his man would be an upright person, not like Zhang Huang before, when he had no money, The idea of robbery was initiated.

And this change in qiē's attitude was based on her mistaken belief that she had lost herself to Zhang Huang, but after checking in the inn yesterday, she was shocked to find that the situation was not what she thought, which couldn't help but make her completely overturn her previous plan to accept her fate and plan for herself again.

As for plotting what? is nothing more than escaping from Zhang Huang and escaping back to Heyang or Hedong Wei's house, after all, her marriage with Wei Zhongdao, the second son of Hedong Wei's family, was through the order of her parents and the appointment of the matchmaker, even if it was herself, she had no right to refuse. If she has lost her life to Zhang Huang, then she can only die without a face to return to Hedongwei's house, and she can only die without a face to see her father and sister again, and give up the name Cai Yan from now on, follow Zhang Huang to be a nameless woman without a surname, and live this life; But now that she has not lost her life to Zhang Huang, then she still has the possibility of returning to Hedongwei's family, and the possibility of saving her father Cai Yong's face, so that her father and sister will not be questioned, blamed, and even abused by Hedongwei's family because of her.

After all, the repentance from the woman is a major event that will disgrace the Hedong Wei family, and it is not difficult to guess how the Hedong Wei family will treat her Cai family if this really happens.

[But......]

Cai Yan quietly looked at Zhang Huang, who was driving the carriage in front, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

Not to mention that she is very afraid of Zhang Huang, a thug who is invulnerable and even knows witchcraft, in fact, after five or six days of getting along, she has gradually discovered that Zhang Huang is not as vicious as she imagined, and even, many times, Cai Yan can't see that it will be a villain who abducts a woman from a good family. If there is anything, it is only Zhang Huang's attitude towards the world that makes Cai Yan disagree.

Take the previous purchase of the carriage as an example, at that time, Zhang Huang actually planned to rob the carriage of a rich family by force outside the city, and what made Cai Yan feel even more terrible was that Zhang Huang actually felt that this practice was in line with this troubled era of the weak and the strong.

[The strong trample on the weak to climb the high, and the weak prostrate on the ground to become a stepping stone......]

Cai Yan still remembers his words when she asked Zhang Huang why he did that, and his expression of course.

According to Cai Yan's understanding of Zhang Huang, she felt that this young man who was not bad-hearted would not be able to say such hard-hearted, cold-blooded and cruel words, and later she learned that this sentence came from an uncle who Zhang Huang had met when he was in Luoyang, and it came from the mouth of the other party.

The evil Jiao of Longxi, Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying.

Although Cai Yan doesn't know Dong Zhuo very well. But she still couldn't help but scold that guy in her heart for misleading people, because in her opinion, a young man of Zhang Huang's age should have someone teach him to behave correctly, instead of suing him for such violent and cruel words, which made Zhang Huang subtly feel that that it was the way to survive and establish himself in the troubled times.

Originally, Cai Yan planned to persuade Zhang Huang in this regard, and gradually correct the influence he had suffered from a real thug as a woman, but suddenly found that he was still after the end of his life, and Cai Yan had no intention of thinking about this matter anymore.

And other than that. Cai Yan felt that Zhang Huang was a more upright and chivalrous person.

After all, along the way, Zhang Huang didn't do anything to her, but she did something that made her ashamed and embarrassed.

Thinking that he had washed his body naked in front of Zhang Huang, Cai Yan suddenly turned red with shame. She couldn't help but hate herself for not having double-checked it at the time, so that she had made such an irreparable mistake.

Cai Yan, whose face was flushed, couldn't help but think of Zhang Huang's dumbfounded and stunned appearance at that time, and she still ridiculed Zhang Huang with disdain at that time, which was extremely ridiculous. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's herself who is ridiculous.

"That's all for today."

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Huang's voice planned Cai Yan's cranky thoughts. Only then did she realize that it seemed as if the whole day had passed quietly in the midst of her cranky thoughts. So much so that it was evening in the blink of an eye.

"Oh...... Oh......" Not daring to look at Zhang Huang's eyes, Cai Yan only felt that the roots of his ears were hot, and nodded in panic.

Zhang Huang glanced at Cai Yan in surprise, but didn't say anything. Found a leeward foothold and tied the carriage to a nearby tree.

"I'll go get some firewood." Zhang Huang nodded and said to Cai Yan.

Seeing that Zhang Huang was about to turn around and leave after speaking, Cai Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Hesitantly asked, "Don't you need the slave family to follow?" ”

"What?" Zhang Huang turned around in surprise when he heard this.

Seeing this, Cai Yan was slightly startled in his heart for no reason, and whispered, "What do the slave family mean...... If you leave the slave family here alone, you will not be afraid of the slave family...... Aren't you afraid that the slave family will run away again? ”

Zhang Huang was stunned, and after looking at Cai Yan blankly for a few moments, he asked suspiciously, "Are you still thinking about running away?" ”

"I didn't ...... There is no ......" Cai Yan hurriedly shook his head.

"That's fine. You stay here, I'll go get some firewood. …… I won't go far, and if anything happens, you shout at me. ”

"Hmm."

After a few brief instructions, Zhang Huang walked to the depths of the forest alone, leaving Cai Yan alone in the carriage.

[Why don't you take this opportunity and leave?] ]

Seeing that there was no one around, Cai Yan couldn't help but have a rather heartwarming idea in his heart. But then she shook her head and vetoed herself, after all, Zhang Huang also said that he would not go too far, even if Cai Yan fled in a carriage, he might not be able to escape from Zhang Huang's hands.

Since it seems that Zhang Huang's trust has been obtained, Cai Yan naturally has to choose a more secure method.

At this time, Cai Yan suddenly saw a long-leafed plant in the snowdrift next to the tree not far away, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and came to the side of the plant.

[Isn't that...... Stone calamus? ]

With a slight movement in his heart, Cai Yan picked off a few leaves of the plant in front of him, returned to the carriage, and took out a small wine jar with wine from the carriage. After thinking about it, she tore the leaves apart and threw them into the jar.

After a short time, Zhang Huang came back with a few small trees and lit a bonfire with a fire charm. After all, although it is early spring, the cold wind at night is still unbearable for a weak woman like Cai Yan, and besides, lighting a bonfire can also drive away those hungry beasts very well, although Zhang Huang doesn't care about it.

After that, the two of them shared fried rice as dry food over a bonfire.

At this time, Zhang Huang noticed a small altar next to the bonfire in confusion, so he asked suspiciously, "This is?" ”

Holding back a little panic, Cai Yan said quietly, "This is the wine I bought with my spare money a few days ago." …… That day, the slave family in the county town watched you stand in front of the liquor store for a while. Therefore, when I checked in at the inn, I asked the store for a small jar ......"

Zhang Huang couldn't help but blush slightly when he heard this.

In all fairness, Zhang Huang is not an alcoholic, but the problem is that there are too few things to drink in this era, except for water, there is only wine, not to mention that he eats some barbecue and fried rice every day these days, not to mention that he is really addicted to alcohol, so when he passed by the wine store at that time, he really thought about whether to enter for a drink. It's just that I thought that the rest of the money on my body was used to buy dry food for Cai Yan to eat, so I endured it and didn't go in. After all, Cai Yan couldn't stand eating those extremely noisy roasted mountain flavors.

"It's ...... For me? Zhang Huang was undeniably a little surprised.

"Hmm!" Cai Yan nodded. She didn't lie, she originally bought this small jar of wine for Zhang Huang, but the original purpose was to thank Zhang Huang for taking care of him on the way, but now, it was purely to escape from Zhang Huang's hands.

Seeing Cai Yan nodding yes, Zhang Huang couldn't wait to pick up the wine jar from the campfire, but after only taking a sip, he frowned and spit out a small piece of plant stems and leaves from his mouth.

"What is this?" Zhang Huang asked suspiciously.

"It's a calamus." Cai Yan explained in a low voice. "The stone iris has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, and the slave family doesn't seem to have slept well in the past few days when they see you, so they saw a few stone iris next to the tree over there. So I picked a few leaves and soaked them in wine......"

"Isn't that ruined the wine?" Zhang Huang glanced at Cai Yan helplessly.

"It's just a taste, it's not for you to drink......"

"Just a few sips, what am I drinking?"

After a few complaints, Zhang Huang was finally reluctant to put down the jar of wine in his hand. still endured the unpleasant smell of grass inside, and drank all the wine in the jar. Because in his opinion, it's better than nothing. Not to mention. This seems to be Cai Yan's heart.

Not to mention, after drinking the jar of medicinal wine, Zhang Huang really felt that his mood was much calmer. In fact, not sleeping well in the past few days is second to him, the key is to save money to buy cloaks and cotton clothes, he has relied on his own rigid body to resist the cold almost every moment in the past two days, and the qi consumption in his body is relatively strict, which is the most fundamental reason. After all, for a martial artist, the amount of qi, a certain kind of Cheng dù also determines the warrior's energy, if the qi is consumed too strictly, even if he doesn't do anything, people will inevitably feel tired, Zhang Huang is like this, his heart is haggard, and his head is also uncomfortable.

And now, after drinking the jar of unpleasant wine, Zhang Huang, who was leaning on the tree trunk and burning the fire, faintly felt that his whole body seemed to be completely relaxed, which was very comfortable.

About half an hour later, it may be that the effect of the stone iris has come up, so that Zhang Huang only felt that his eyelids gradually sank, and finally his eyes closed, and he snored slightly.

“……”

At this time, Cai Yan, who had been pretending to rest in the carriage but was actually paying attention to Zhang Huang, quietly got out of the carriage and looked at Zhang Huang, who was already asleep, with a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

She did not deceive Zhang Huang, calamus is actually a plant that can be used in medicine, with the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, but she concealed a side effect of this plant that is not a side effect, that is, after taking this herb, people will fall asleep more easily, and while sleeping more sweetly, they are not easy to be woken up by the outside world.

"I'm sorry ......"

Gently put the blanket that Zhang Huang bought with the surplus money in the county town that day on Zhang Huang's body, and carefully replaced it in the place where his neck was easy to catch a cold, Cai Yan bent down and picked up a few firewood from the ground and threw them into the bonfire, and then stood up, looking at the sleeping Zhang Huang with a complicated expression.

[The slave is leaving...... The slave family will find a way to go back to Heyang by themselves, this carriage will be left to you, and when you wake up tomorrow, I hope you don't want to come to the slave house again, go straight to Julu......]

Looking deeply at the sleeping Zhang Huang for a while, Cai Yan wrapped his arms around his delicate body, turned around and left, and gradually disappeared into the night.

For a weak female streamer like Cai Yan, the night in early spring was indeed very cold, and she left the only blanket to Zhang Huang, so that she didn't go far before she was shivering from the ground.

However, the cold was not the worst, the most troublesome thing was that she couldn't discern her direction at night.

Suddenly, Cai Yan saw that there seemed to be a fire in the distant mountain opposite.

[Isn't there a mountain village over there?] ]

Cai Yan was happy to see this, because in her opinion, if she could find a mountain village, she would be able to find a way to return to Heyang.

I have to say that if she had kept Zhang Huang's instructions in the carriage in mind before, she would never have gone towards the fire-lit mountain near Shanyang. Because this is Shanyang, it is Shanyang where strong gangsters are rampant, and she mistakenly thinks that it is the distant mountain where the mountain village fires is located, and it is precisely the Taihang Mountain occupied by the thieves near Shanyang.

This time, Cai Yan walked for a full hour or two, and just when she was about to hold on, she finally came to the land of fire.

There, a gang of thieves who seem to have just robbed a mountain village are celebrating with a spree of drinking and eating meat.

At the same time, Zhang Huang, who was asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

[Sleep well...... Not? Cai Yan's angry ...... Gone? ]

Because he couldn't feel the anger of the people from Cai Yan, Zhang Huang frowned, stood up suddenly, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked inside, only to find that the car was empty.

"Oops!"

Zhang Huang secretly said that it was not good, and subconsciously turned his head, but unexpectedly saw the same fire as Cai Yan. Cai Yan didn't know what the fire was, how could Zhang Huang not know?

[That stupid woman won't be...... Tut! ]

PS: Let's talk about the reason why there has been no update in the past two days, because I went to the construction site to move bricks. Jokes and jokes, it's just moving things, moving goods at home, almost a few tons of things, moving for seven hours, and I'm directly exhausted. The next day did not slow down, the evening daughter-in-law accompanied, and the friends who helped to press the shoulder, but I didn't expect to find an informal place. Well, people look at us two men and two women, the situation is not quite right, directly make each other's eyes say that the guests are full, and even the originally reserved room said no, haha, the scene was quite funny at that time. (To be continued......)
