55. Chapter 55
By the end of February, the weather was much warmer, and the wind was not so harsh on the face.
In the tent, the snoring of the soldiers came and went, and after making sure that they had already fallen asleep, Ruoyun got up from the huddled corner and crept out.
Fortunately, under the pretext of being unwell, she slept on the stove that still had residual warmth, otherwise she would have to sleep next to those soldiers who turned over and snored at will, and her girl's family still minded.
But those cooking soldiers were really noisy, and she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she simply went for a walk in the woods.
I remember Bai Ze said that there is a river not far south of here.
Groping her way south, she was small in stature, and the patrolling guards didn't notice a sneaky shadow scurrying behind the trees.
Successfully found the glittering river, and turned back to the large black camp tent behind him.
She couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the water, which was not much higher than the stone.
What kind of river, it's not the flood season, it's as dry as a stream......
Every time I run around with Bai Ze, I am in a hurry, although I don't feel dirty to be exposed, but I feel uncomfortable.
What's more, yesterday Zhang Yu said with a smile that it is normal for there to be fleas in the barracks, and her face is almost green when she listens.
Although I didn't have much contact with those soldiers, I didn't talk even if I met them, but I always felt itchy about my body.
After winter, the water was still cold, and she retracted it after touching her fingertips.
When she thought of Zhang Yuna's conclusion, she looked around at no one, and when she saw the big stone exposed, she was heartbroken, so she simply hid behind the stone, took off her shoes, and soaked both feet in it.
The accompanying biting cold made her close her eyes violently, and she couldn't move for a long time.
However, the icy water of the river made the red and swollen feet less stinging.
Adjusting to the temperature of the water, she walked slowly, trying to put her whole leg in the water, but as soon as she reached her knees, she stiffened and couldn't move, so she had to retreat, leaning against the stone and grinning.
There was a sudden sound of conversation on the other side of the forest, Ruoyun was startled, the whole person was attached to the stone, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
If she is discovered, won't she be dead?
Fortunately, the two people who were talking were so far away that she couldn't even see clearly in the night.
Only one figure spoke to the other from a distance, and the wide white cloak that seemed to be studded with fox fur enveloped his entire body, revealing only the corner of his glamorous armor.
But the huge mark on the cloak could be seen even by the blind: it was the head of a tiger, roaring with its mouth wide open.
That's the mark of the palace!
Ruoyun swallowed her saliva and shrank herself to the smallest of the stone.
Even if he is not King Yu, he is also a general under King Yu, killing people without blinking is commonplace, right? What can be done when she is a suspicious person? Even if Wang Yu is a king with a different surname and Cheng Qingxuan, she should know each other, but she is still afraid when she sees the tiger head.
She regrets it now, even if there are lice and fleas, it is better than being caught and caught.
The two of them only talked in a low voice, not paying the slightest attention to the movement here, and after a long while, they walked slowly towards the depths of the forest again.
Ruoyun was stiff, not to mention that her feet had been stepping in the water and maintaining a curled up posture, and now she felt numb, as hard as the stones around her, and she didn't obey the call at all.
She exhaled heavily, slowly dragged herself out of the water back to shore, wiped her face vigorously, and fell panting onto the rocks.
Looking at the starry night sky, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Cheng Qingxuan and Rong Yixuan had been together for many days, but she had never seen him in the camp, so she didn't know what to do now.
Thinking about being in a daze, suddenly a magnified face appeared upside down in front of him, and he was pale.
"Ghostβ" She tried to scream, her expression distorted, and the thought of the devil who had just left made her even more frightened and afraid to scream, and her heart beat wildly, but suddenly she realized that this face was so familiar.
"Baize! You ββ! She sat up, turned her head to recognize the person, and suddenly her pale face turned red, "Are you going to scare people to death!" After speaking, he patted his chest and wanted to stand up dizzily, but his feet still didn't obey.
Bai Ze didn't know what his family background was, so he changed into red and purple women's clothes again, and this time he didn't forget to paint his face white, and only put two dots of red on his lips.
Such a white-faced ghost suddenly appeared on this night that was already scared, and she Su Ruoyun was really fated if she was not scared to death.
Bai Ze frowned, and squatted down to look at her with an aggrieved expression: "Girl, how can I scare you, it's you lying in a daze, I thought it was a dead body." β
"Bah......" she froze, looking around.
Bai Ze smiled and took out two shoes from behind him, and said to her, "Are you looking for this?" β
Although they are black cloth shoes, these are so small, isn't that what she just wore!
"Give me back!" "Do you still want me to thank you for selling me to the barracks just to burn the fire, not to be a military prostitute?" β
Bai Ze withdrew his hand and looked at her strangely, his two eyes seemed to be extremely innocent: "Just like you, you are not qualified." β
Ruoyun looked around angrily, but there were no stones on the smooth shore that could be reached, and if there were, she would have smashed it.
Bai Ze, on the other hand, looked at her innocently as she sat and looked left and right.
Giving up looking for stones, she had to stare at his "dead face" with murderous eyes and say, "Why did you think of coming to me?" Or, are you passing through? β
Bai Ze smiled bitterly, as if he was the one who had suffered a great grievance: "You girl has no conscience, I came to see if you are alive or not, it is better than you...... I infiltrated the barracks by myself, and if I had an errand, I didn't care about it. β
"You're always elusive, I thought you went out to run errands......" Ruoyun was speechless, remembering that she didn't think of Bai Ze after he disappeared, and now that she heard him mention it, she really felt that she was very ungrateful.
There is martial law in this city, and it must have taken a lot of effort for Bai Ze, who would not be able to work lightly, to come out of the city.
Thinking about it like this, his anger also disappeared, and he only whispered: "I'm sorry......"
Bai Ze seemed to be very happy, and reached out to hand her two shoes: "If you have multiple hearts, you also know that these shoes can't be littered."
"It's not that I littered, I just saw King Yu......" She took it and put it on, feeling that her feet could slowly move.
"King Yu? Where? Where is it? Bai Ze stood up and looked around, but he didn't find a figure.
"Don't look for it, it's all gone." She lazily replied that if she hadn't left, she would have really become a corpse.
Bai Ze was relieved at this time, and squatted down again, his expression suddenly solemn.
"If there's anything, just say it." Ruoyun Zhengse said, she also thought, he couldn't come just to make sure she was safe, this is a troublesome and tiring thing, he Baize didn't do it.
Sure enough, Bai Ze showed a look of embarrassment and smiled: "That's the case, what about me, because of this chaos, I want to go...... Forehead...... Inventory of goods, so, I will not show up for many days, if you have difficulties, these are used, there is money to make the ghost grind. With that, he handed her a cloth bag.
When I opened it, there were a few ingots of gold inside!
"Where did it come from?" Ruoyun didn't want to think about it, so she threw it back to him, "You take it back quickly." β
He wanted to tell her that he was going to leave her here alone, although she was a little afraid, but she couldn't ask for the money he gave, so she made up her mind to live here on her own.
But Bai Ze took it and turned around and handed it to her: "Girl, you put it first, maybe it's really useful, I don't know how long it will take me to go, a friend, and I promised to take you back to the capital, I can't rest assured that you are here alone." β
"Friend, a ......," Ruoyun muttered and repeated, and the bag of gold was placed in the palm of her hand.
She was raised in the boudoir since she was a child, Xiaohong regarded her as her master, her father and mother as a girl who didn't grow up, Chu Rulan and the like would only bully others, friend, Bai Ze was the first to say this.
He said that he was a friend, and that he did it voluntarily, not because he was entrusted by others and did not get in the way.
"Come on, I'm going to leave quickly, if I am caught by the king of Yu that you said, maybe I will be arrested and become a concubine, then I will lose." He patted the dust off his body and muttered nonchalantly.
Ruoyun rolled his eyes, Bai Ze was gender disordered, I was afraid that King Yu would know that he was a man, and he would have been executed as a ladyboy, and I didn't know how his father and mother usually looked at it, so he couldn't help pouting: "I said eldest young master, do you really like to be a girl?" This is eye-catching in women's clothing, right? β
She nodded at him, and shook her head in comparison to her own inconspicuous soldier attire.
"You don't know, the best people in this city can get in and in freely, I just made a picture for convenience." He smiled wickedly and winked at her.
Ruoyun chewed on his words for a long time, and then she reacted, and the whole person was stunned: "You...... You mean...... Army...... ...... military prostitutes? β
"Hey, I'm really gone, are you okay?" Bai Ze stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, "It's all said to be a show, what's the truth, when did you see me slipping away unhappily?" β
Ruoyun was amused by him, smiled, felt that her two feet had finally recovered, nodded and stood up.
Bai Ze no longer hesitated, looking around at no one, the purple satin seemed to blend in with the night, and he only turned around and walked a few steps and could no longer see it.
Ruoyun carried the heavy small cloth bag, hesitated and stuffed it into her arms.
Do you still take a bath?
She was stunned for a moment, then dismissed the thought.
If you meet a king again, I'm afraid that ten heads won't be enough to cut off.
I tiptoed back to the tent, and the people inside were still asleep.
She gently pulled out the cloth bag and stuffed it into the innermost part of the firewood pile, then covered it with branches and dead leaves.
Looking at the sleeping soldiers, her uneasy heart relaxed slightly, Ruoyun lowered her head embarrassedly and curled up in the corner again.
Her frozen feet were already warm, and she didn't know when it began, and her cold body became easy to warm up, she smiled, the tip of her nose seemed to linger with the fragrance of light ink cherry blossoms, and she fell asleep after a while.
