Chapter 021: Charming
Xiaodong came down from the mountain with the medicine basket on her back, put down the medicine basket by the river, and was about to take out the herbs to wash in the river water, when she suddenly felt a figure on the other side, she immediately took out the medicine hoe from the medicine basket vigilantly, and shouted: "Who? ”
Nuying didn't know how long she had been walking, but she was still in the middle of nowhere, and when she was exhausted, she suddenly saw a person standing under the boulder on the opposite bank, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I ...... Our mother and daughter encountered bandits on the road, and lost the road in a panic, so we asked my sister-in-law to make it convenient and show a way to leave. ”
Xiaodong took a closer look, opposite was a very beautiful young woman, holding a baby in her arms, at a glance it was the wife of a large family, her heart was a little more vigilant, she looked up and down, and said in surprise: "Bandits?" Where did you come from, it's hard to see people here for dozens of miles, and you actually fled here. ”
Zhou Nuying was helpless when she saw someone, and she was overjoyed, but then calmed down a little, and suddenly thought of many rumors. People in civilized areas always like to exaggerate the ignorance and barbarism of the inhabitants of backward areas, such as mountain people plundering merchants, killing people and destroying people, and even chopping human flesh to make steamed buns...... maybe it happened once within a hundred miles, maybe once a few decades ago, but under word of mouth, all mountain people have become terrifying animals.
Although it was a harmless-looking woman in front of her, Nuying couldn't help but be careful, and said, "I'...... I followed my family all the way by car, and I didn't bother to inquire about the location of the village where I stayed overnight, who wanted to be robbed, and fled on a horse in a panic, and was separated from my family, and ended up here, and the horse died of exhaustion, so I had to walk. ”
Xiaodong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You escaped on horseback?" The horse is tired to death, and you must not have walked very far, so where is the horse? ”
Zhou Nuying only said that she still doubted her identity, so she pointed in the direction she came from, and said: "The little woman didn't dare to coax her sister-in-law, what she said was true. My family was originally a businessman who traveled back and forth with Linzhou and Yinzhou, and asked my sister-in-law to show me a way, but I don't know how to get there......"
Xiaodong smiled: "Yinzhou, Linzhou? I've heard of that place, I heard that it's a very prosperous city, but I've never been so far away in my life, and I heard the people in the bazaar say that Yinzhou has to be more than 200 miles away from here, let alone Linzhou, and it's still far away. ”
"More than two hundred miles?"
Zhou Nuying's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted. A fast horse can run thirty or forty kilometers in an hour, that is, seventy or eighty miles. But even if she is sweaty and bloody, she can run for five or six hours in a row, and it is the limit to walk three or four hundred miles, her horse is naturally not so majestic, but fortunately, she is light and soft, and she is very light, plus she constantly whips up the horse and just wants to escape, and squeeze out the last physical strength of the horse.
Zhou Nuying suddenly remembered what she said about going to the market, and there was a glimmer of hope at the time: "Sister-in-law, where is the market you said, I ...... My family must be very concerned about us, if my sister-in-law can send my mother and daughter to that episode, maybe there is a way to leave, if I can find my family, the little woman will definitely repay my sister-in-law heavily. ”
Xiao Dong said: "There are still seven or eight days before the day of the market, and now there are only some local mountain people. If you really want to go, you have to climb over a few mountains, walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, but now you can't do it, alas, look at your mother and daughter's pitiful appearance, if I don't want to see death, it will be thundered and struck, forget it, you go to my house for a few days first, and I will take you there when I catch up with the market. ”
Nuying was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly thanked her, Xiao Dong crossed the river and helped her step on the big stone, hurriedly washed the herbs, led her into the valley, took her up the mountain, and led her to the introduction of her own home.
He is an honest hunter, admiring beauty of the opposite sex is instinctive, but when he saw the beauty of others, he was embarrassed and ashamed, and hurriedly got up to greet him, only to laugh with him.
Xiaodong is a neat family, and brought the mother and daughter to his home, and said: "Sister, my place is very small, this room is the residence of me and the master, and the house next to it...... It was a man I saved, and now he is seriously ill, you don't have to be afraid, our family is our own family, you can stay here for a few days, and when the day of the market comes, I will take you there. ”
Zhou Nuying thanked her, Xiaodong boiled the herbs, whispered a few words to the man, the man was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up a hunting knife, took a basket, and Xiaodong hurriedly went out, Zhou Nuying saw him holding a knife, and immediately clenched her wrist vigilantly on the "fox tail", but saw the couple hurriedly going down the mountain with a basket on their backs, and actually threw a home to her.
Zhou Nuying saw that the walls were empty, and there was indeed nothing to guard against outsiders, she saw that the couple had indeed gone far, so she took off the child and put it on the kang, so that she could sleep comfortably, and she was familiar with the environment.
The courtyard is not big, there are mountains and shrubs all around, a row of three thatched huts, the westernmost one is put all kinds of sundries, animal fur and other things, the smell is unpleasant, there is indeed a man lying in the east house, Zhou Nuying only looked at it, did not dare to go in, she was about to turn back to the main house, but heard the man moaning in a daze and asking for water to drink, Zhou Nuying ignored it, but after thinking about it, since this person was also rescued by others, it can be said that he is sympathetic to himself, everyone is a person in distress, seeing that he is too sick to get up, how can he stand by and watch?
Thinking like this, Nuying hesitated into the house, picked up the jug from the catalpa table and wanted to feed the man water, and walked closer to see the person's appearance, although the hair was messy and the cheeks were red, but this person's appearance was really familiar, it turned out to be Yang Hao, Nuying's delicate body trembled, her hands trembled, and a crockpot "snapped" to the ground and shattered.
"You...... You...... Captain...... why are you here? ”
Nuying pounced on Yang Hao, surprise intersection, Yang Hao seemed to be immersed in a big furnace, both eyes were burning red, consciousness was drowsy, just sobered up, recognized Nuying's appearance, hehe laughed: "Am I dreaming?" Oh...... I was rescued? Then he fell into a coma again, and no matter how much he called, he couldn't wake him up.
Nuying hurriedly ran to the next room, found something that contained water, found water to feed him and drank some, seeing his haggard and weak appearance, she couldn't help but sit beside him, and sobbed in a low voice......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ saddle, bridle, chew, bridle, mattress on saddle horse, and horse skin, these are all valuable things, as for horse meat is also edible things, smoked and dried, it is not difficult for a family of two to survive the whole winter, Xiaodong and Hu'er Niu happily dismantled the whole horse, and moved it into the col one after another, and then moved into the yard for a while, and Hu'er Niu cleaned up the horse meat, and Xiaodong returned to the room with a smile.
As soon as she saw that there was no one in her house, she turned into another room, and saw the beautiful woman who was picked up by herself holding the child, sitting next to the man and crying silently. ”
When Nuying saw her coming back, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and said, "Sister-in-law, why is he so sick, sister-in-law, please save his life, you must save his life." ”
Xiaodong said suspiciously: "Do you recognize this person?" ”
Nuying nodded hurriedly and said in tears: "He...... He is the biological father of this child, my miserable baby......"
Xiaodong exclaimed: "He's your man?" ”
Nuying was also stunned, and then remembered that she had just told others that she was the child's mother, if the man lying there was the child's father, wouldn't the two be husband and wife?
Nuying squeaked and couldn't speak, suddenly turned around and put the child on the couch, stretched out her hand in her arms and touched it for a while, and took out the gold and silver treasures and valuable things looted by the Xia Zhou soldiers, although the couple did seem to be a person who lived her duty, but she was still a little careful about this mountain people, since the wealth was exposed, she simply didn't keep it at all, and stuffed it all into her hands.
Nuying begged: "Sister-in-law, this is all the belongings I carry with me, I know that my sister-in-law's family is not rich, these belongings are given to my sister-in-law, I just ask my sister-in-law to think of a way, no matter what, I have to save him...... My husband's life. Sister-in-law, my family is a very wealthy family, if my sister-in-law saves him and finds a way out in the future, my family will definitely have a thousand times the reward. ”
When Xiaodong heard that the man he had set up was not a wounded soldier, and he had a lady, he was a little disappointed, after all, ...... After all, the man was really likable. But when the pile of jewels, gold and silver was put in her hand, she couldn't help but dazzle her eyes. She had never seen so much money in her life, and those disappointments were thrown out of the clouds, and when she heard that she saved her husband and wife, there must be a lot of thanks, Xiaodong almost fainted with joy, hurriedly agreed, and ran out to find her man.
When he saw his mother-in-law holding out so many treasures, and listened to her explanation, he was so happy that he almost stabbed it into his palm. The herbs are ready-made fresh medicines on the mountain, and after they are fried, they are filled with a bowl for Yang Hao, and the high fever does not retreat for a while.
Xiaodong received so many benefits from others, but he couldn't help much, he was very upset, and he was anxious for a long time with Nuying, she suddenly slapped her forehead and said: "Ma Tieermu's family is rich, there may be some medicine at home, I'll look for him." ”
Nu Ying asked, this Ma Tieermu is also a hunter, is the closest family to live from the small owner's family, but also has to climb a few mountains to get there, this woman is a sassy and capable woman, immediately grabbed a hunting knife, cut more than 20 catties of horse meat and carried it into the basket, and then went on the road in a hurry.
When she left, the sun had not yet set, and when there was only a touch of red left behind the distant mountain, she rushed back, Ma Termu's family was richer and limited than her family, and she usually relied on picking herbs to cure some cold and brain fever, and there was no clever medicine, Nuying couldn't help but be disappointed when she heard it. However, the more than 20 catties of horse meat brought by Xiaodong were not easy to harvest in vain, so they gave her the only remaining jar of old wine in the family.
Xiaodong said with some shame: "Sister, I really don't have anything good in this mountain pimple, so I got a jar to sprinkle, and you use this wine to rub his whole body, and reduce the heat first." ”
"Huh?" The blush climbed onto Nuying's face, and she stammered, "Use ...... Anointing your body with wine? ”
Xiao Dong said: "Yes, smearing it on the body with wine can cool down, this soil method is particularly effective, I see that your man has a high fever that does not go away, this herb does not work for a while, his body is strong, he may not be able to survive, but I am afraid that if it burns for a long time, it will burn out the brain." I heard that there is a family in the collection that someone has a high fever that does not go away, and as a result, he became an idiot, his own man, what are you ashamed of, I went out first. ”
"Sister-in-law......" The door squeaked shut, Nuying held the wine jar and lost her ground, looked back at Yang Hao, looked down at the wine jar again, Nuying was embarrassed, but when she thought of the terrible consequences that Xiaodong said, it might burn people into idiots, she was even more scared in her heart, and finally ...... As if she was about to go to the execution ground, she walked towards the sleepy Yang Hao step by step with the wine jar in her hands......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Tang Yanyan was about to go crazy looking for Yang Hao, she was even a little annoyed with Dong'er, although she knew that intellectually speaking, Dong'er's decision was right. However, is there anyone more important to a woman in this world than her husband and children? How could she be so ruthless, put all this aside to pursue Lee Kuan Rui, if she gave me more manpower, give me more manpower...... Looking at the vast and boundless grassland, Yan Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
In the past few days, the Wuding River has been turned over by her, and the three thousand Yinzhou female soldiers found more than 500 soldiers who fled to the north bank after jumping into the river, and caught more than 300 remnants of the Xiazhou soldiers who escaped from Yinzhou, intercepted more than 200 households of the fleeing people, and hit a number of wild beasts such as sheep, badgers, roe deer, and rabbits, and the search scope continued to expand, and it also extended more and more to remote and desolate places.
It was almost dark, Tang Yanyan took a breath helplessly, and was about to order to rest in the camp on the spot, and continue the search after dawn, when a few exclamations suddenly came from the front, Tang Yanyan's heart tightened, and he immediately rode his horse and shouted: "What's the matter?" ”
Tang Yanyan galloped to the front, and saw more than ten female soldiers or spears, or bows, forming a semicircle around a dirt bag, it was a cave, a huge white wolf at the entrance of the cave, with teeth and claws, extremely fierce, but under the watchful eye of so many people, it just kept roaring and demonstrating, but refused to escape.
Tang Yanyan thought that there was some clue, but when he saw this scene, he was disappointed, waved his hand and said, "Kill it and rest in the camp." ”
Tang Yanyan gave an order, and immediately fired crossbow arrows, although the strong and tall white wolf was extremely brave, it was a fierce beast of the wolf king level, after all, it was difficult to resist the power of the bow and crossbow machinery invented by the enemy, it looked up to the sky in despair and roared, and did the last fight in vain, but the warriors were on horses, with sharp spears in their hands, just against its fangs and claws, the resistance of this arrogant giant wolf became only a joke.
In a matter of moments, the giant wolf was dyed red by its own blood, and it was half-crouched on the ground, its belly trembling, and it was no longer able to fight back and expel the humans who had invaded its territory.
Suddenly, it turned around with difficulty, struggled to crawl into the cave, and seeing its strange behavior, the female soldiers stopped attacking and watched quietly, seeing that there were still a few steps away from the cave, the white wolf let out a low howl and lay on the ground silently.
"There's something in the cave?" Tang Yanyan stepped forward and dismounted, asked for a spear, and cautiously approached it, and after a while, she took out a little white wolf, still a cub, from the cave, lying in her arms, like a cute puppy.
The maternal feelings of the heroines were overflowing, and someone had the courage to plead: "Madam, spare it, such a small wolf will not hurt us." ”
Tang Yanyan held the snow-white wolf in his arms, and looked at the wolf corpse on the ground, only then did he understand why this white wolf had a chance to escape, but he would rather stay for a hopeless decisive battle.
Gently stroking the soft wolf hair, looking at the great mother covered in blood, a feeling that she had never experienced made Yanyan's eyes a little moist, this heart-wrenching scene made this girl who had never been a mother experience the emotions between mother and son at a close distance, and she suddenly understood that although she had suffered a lot these days, Dong'er, who gave up looking for her husband and son and resolutely led the troops to battle, must have been a hundred times more painful than her in her heart.
"Cher, where are you?"
"Brother Hao, where are you?"
Two crystal teardrops silently fell on the little wolf, which was as white as snow...... At this time, Xue'er was full of food and drink, changed her diaper, and was lying on the inside of the bed, sleeping with her head in her hands.
Outside her, her father was lying there, his shirt was gently pulled open, revealing his strong and strong chest, Nuying was holding a piece of cloth, dipped in wine, trembling, red and red, and gently wiped it, the rich smell of wine quickly rippled, Nuying's eyes suddenly became more deep and hazy, like drunk, and her eyes were blurred.
The smell of wine seems to have drifted the strong smell of men into her sense of smell that has become extremely sensitive at the moment, the strong and strong chest, she dare not look at it, but she can't help but fall into the strong and flat waist and abdominal muscles in her eyes, and the feeling of touch on the fingertips when she gently rubs it, just like that absurd spring dream suddenly appeared clearly in front of her, making her heart ape and difficult to calm down.
After a moment of embarrassment, she gently bit her fine white teeth and began to wipe them seriously, but a pair of eye waves were erratic, sometimes removed from him, but were pulled back by invisible silk threads, her white skin as white as jade had been dyed with an incomparably moving flush, like a slightly drunk beauty, delicate and moving.
Gritting her teeth and persevering, her chest was finally wiped off, and her fingers moved to his belt, but Nuying hesitated, and she didn't dare to solve it for a long time, she only felt that her body was extremely soft, and she couldn't spare any strength to solve it.
Next door, there was some movement in the room of Xiaodong and his wife, and Nuying, who had already come over, naturally understood what the faint voice meant, so her face seemed to be on fire, and she became even more red.
Finally, she closed her bright eyes, tore open Yang Hao's belt at once, and reached into it trembling and fumbling...... It was silent, and the snort in the hut was unusually tempting......
