Early in the morning of the second day of the ninth quarter, when the first birdsong sounded in the woods, more than a hundred soldiers of the Guards Battalion got up early. They were busy in the camp, in and out. In the middle of the camp, there are already nearly ten pairs of simple "sliding rods".

"Sliding rod" is a kind of transportation commonly used in the mountainous areas of the southwest of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Two sturdy long bamboo poles are tied to form a stretcher, and a reclining chair made of bamboo pieces or a seat made of rope is set up in the middle, and the pedal hangs down in front. The duty of the soldiers of the Eastern Han Guards Battalion was to protect the royal family in various situations. Naturally, they are specially trained in this area.

Tao Yu was sitting on the "sliding pole" with the prince's urn in his arms, which was carried by two soldiers of the Guards Battalion. Surrounded by a crowd of people. Since Wu Ming's words yesterday evening, she has recovered a lot, and she is no longer that lifeless. Although he is still silent, he will at least occasionally have a couple of sentences with Wu Ming or He Yi. In the morning, I even ate a large chicken thigh.

Zuo Ying also regained a little anger, and in the early morning, when He Yi tore another piece of chicken to feed him, he refused, and then grabbed the piece of meat with both hands and bit it down fiercely.

Now, he was sitting on top of another "sliding rod" and whispering something to the two fighters who were carrying him.

……

Seeing this, Wu Ming's heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the little green camp again. Presumably, the fighters felt that they were leaving. So the humble camp looks even more messy. It may not be long before small shrubs and unknown weedy vines grow here again. There is no trace of anyone living here anymore.

Thousands of years later, but there are still people who know that there was a prince who died young here, his name is Xuanyuan Jing?

The ashes left behind by the cremation of the prince in the middle of the camp were still very new, after all, until today, only two days had passed. Wu Ming stared at the shocking black scar, and after a moment of silence, he was about to shout and leave. Behind him, there was a commotion.

Wu Ming turned his head and saw Tian Hongzheng surrounding He Yi with two soldiers from the Guards Battalion, whispering something, and a pair of "sliding rods" were placed at their feet.

He Yi lowered his head, his face was crimson, and he was holding a pipa in his arms, like a frightened fawn. I feel pity.

Wu Ming was puzzled and walked over.

When Tian Hong saw Wu Ming coming, he was immediately overjoyed: "My lord, come and persuade Miss He to let her get on the 'sliding rod'." Alas, her subordinates have been persuading her for a long time, but she just won't go up. ”

He Yi looked up at Wu Ming, quickly lowered her head, her face was even more flushed, and she replied in a low voice: "I am just a maid, I am serving Niangniang, how dare I bother you adults, I still follow behind Niangniang, and I can listen to Hou Niangniang's orders at any time, I will not sit on this thing." ”

Tao Yu's voice came over at this time, although it was cold, but there was a heat in his words: "Ah Yi, thank you for taking care of me these days." Now it's a long walk, and you little woman will definitely not be able to bear it, so you can sit on it. ”

Wu Ming glanced at Tao Yu with a little gratitude, and what greeted him was just the other party's cold face.

It seems that the sadness in Tao Yu's heart cannot be eliminated in a moment.

Time is a magical planing knife, he can erase people's youth and memories, and I hope it can also erase the scars in Tao Yu's heart.

He sighed, looked at He Yi, who was still bowing his head and was silent, and said softly: "He, Miss He, it's a long journey now, if you insist on walking, you will definitely be unbearable." Let's sit on it. Everyone took turns to come in turns, which was very easy and didn't add much burden. ”

He Yi glanced up at Wu Ming and replied a little shyly: "Okay! After saying that, she sat down, and then bowed her head to adjust the lute in her hand.

At this time, Tian Hong's unique loud voice sounded again: "Yes, that's right, my sister-in-law still listens to the words of our family the most." If you don't go up, your feet hurt, and our adults' hearts will hurt even more. Isn't it, sister-in-law? ”

More than a hundred fighters burst into laughter. The sad atmosphere of this team was suddenly reduced a lot. He Yi lowered his head, his face was red, and his slender body was almost retracted into the entire "sliding rod".

Wu Ming looked up and saw Yiren's glow-like neck. A few strands of green silk were naughtily placed on the pair of pink earlobes that looked like ingots, shaking and shaking.

Last night, he inadvertently had a Xiao and Pipa with He Yi. It is estimated that many Guards Battalion fighters woke up and saw it.

His heart was also swaying, and his old face was red, if there was really such a day, there would be no war in the world, and he Yi would come to such a beautiful place to live in seclusion, it would be good. But now, I have too many things to do, and the things on my shoulders are getting heavier and heavier. Is there any hope that this wish will be fulfilled?

Thinking of this, the embarrassment in my heart also went away, sighed, and said a little lonely: "Don't make trouble, let's go." ”

The crowd responded: "Yes!" ”

In the thunderous response, no one noticed that the gray color on Zuo Ying's face flashed away, and everyone reluctantly laughed.

Staying in one place for a long time, with the Mountain Dog Army's familiarity with this forest and superb tracking methods, it will definitely be caught up by the "Mountain Dog Army". is extremely dangerous. Wu Ming discussed with several leaders of the Guards Battalion and decided to walk southwest first, reach the edge of the forest, and then look for human tracks, if it is best to find local hunters, they will entrust Orion to lead the way and find a way out of this reckless primeval forest.

To the north of the Jade Forest is the famous Pillar Tooth Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round. Running between the Qingting prairie of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Jiyu Forest of the Southern Barbarians, no one has been heard of from this mountain range except for the legendary grandmaster. With the current situation of Wu Ming's team, it is really not suitable to challenge this limit. And the east has been blockaded by the Southern Barbarians, and they have to continue to move west.

Although the population of Nanban has increased greatly compared with before, it is compared with the Central Plains of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiangnan and other prosperous areas. The population density is still slightly insufficient. This time, the prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty raised an army of 200,000 to the south, and they were in order to resist the Han army. It is estimated that it is also a collection of soldiers. The young and strong were all dragged to serve as soldiers. Many places are sparsely populated, let alone the reckless primeval forests. The two sides fought back and forth, and in the end, it was ordinary people who suffered.

Wu Ming and the others in this forest stuck to the edge for two days, not to mention people, and they didn't see a single ghost.

The sun was still shining, and in some places it was even shaded by the wide trees of the forest. Walking in this primeval forest, the enthusiasm has decreased a lot. But the confusion in everyone's hearts is getting deeper and deeper. Can you go back? How to go back?

Wu Ming lowered his head, raised the "Red Night", and slashed at a wild banana tree with a fierce sword.

"Huh-" The banana tree suddenly cracked a large opening, revealing the white and tender flesh inside. Suddenly a clear stream of water flowed out. He lowered his head and took a few big puffs. Then he reached out and took a leather bag from Hu Yong's hand and poured water into it.

This skin bag was originally used by Hu Yong to hold medicinal juice, but now there is no medicinal juice in it. It was taken by Wu Ming, washed, used to hold water, and poured into a treasure.

Walking in this ghostly forest, the importance of drinking water is self-evident, it is not just a small puddle that can be drunk, God knows if it is poisonous, or has it been polluted by some poisonous reptiles?

Hu Yong is a conscientious doctor, and although everyone is now in ruins, he still insists on carrying his big medical box. There are a lot of bottles and jars inside. There was also a warrior to carry it on his back, and everyone did not complain. After all, in this forest, doctors have such a treasure chest, and whether it is useful or not, at least, it has a great effect on stabilizing people's hearts and morale.

The skin bag is not big, and after a while, Wu Ming was full, and then, his eyes were aimed at Hu Yong. The other party was tidying up his big medical box. Seeing Wu Ming's eyes glance over, he hurriedly covered the bottles and cans inside. A wrinkled old face was full of nervousness: "Lord Wu, there is really nothing to use, and there are good things inside." Spare the old man, don't make up your mind anymore. ”

Wu Ming smiled a little embarrassedly, then pointed to a large porcelain bottle inside, and said, "I remember some time ago, this bottle was empty, can it be used to fill it with water?" After finishing speaking, he rubbed his hands and went to get the porcelain vase.

Hu Yong's old face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum, and he gently touched the bottle and said, "Lord Wu, don't underestimate the things in here." It's a good thing. I can't usually ask for it. ”

When Wu Ming heard him say this, he immediately became interested: "Oh, what a good method?" I hope Master Hu will teach me. ”

Hu Yong heard him ask, picked up the porcelain bottle, and then shook it, it was filled with liquid, and it shook with a "clang" sound. Then he said proudly: "This is the liquid made by the snake saliva of the 'horned flower python' and some precious herbs you killed last time, this is very useful, even if you martial artists take it, you may be in a coma for several days in a row." The old man temporarily called it 'three days drunk'. ”

Wu Ming said a little disapprovingly: "This thing is not much use, who will drink this medicine you made." On the battlefield, real knives and guns, life and death are decided in an instant. ”

Hu Yong smiled and didn't answer Wu Ming's words, and a weak voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Master Hu, can you give the little woman a small bottle of 'three days of drunkenness', I am grateful." ”

Wu Ming turned his head and saw that He Yi didn't know when he was already standing behind Wu Ming, looking at Hu Yong expectantly. Wu Ming turned his head, and the two of them happened to look at each other. He Yi snorted and immediately lowered his head.

Wu Ming's heart was in a trance, this little girl is really easy to be shy.
