"Thank you, girl......" Scarlet Feather barely smiled, and closed her eyes weakly.

"Childe," Xiao Fu'er handed Scarlet Feather a bowl of warm water, "You have been in a coma for many days, you must be thirsty and hungry." But I have something to do now, and I can't linger and wait, so you can drink some water first, and I'll come here to prepare your meal when I'm free." ”

Scarlet Feather opened her eyes, took the bowl, and drank most of the bowl of water with the support of Xiao Fu'er, before she regained her strength and said weakly: "Miss Xiao Fu'er is too polite." Saving her life, Scarlet Feather is already grateful, how dare she trouble the girl more......"

"Your name is Scarlet Feather...... Xiao Fu'er muttered in a low voice before continuing: "No trouble, no trouble...... And this medicine...... It's time for your medicine to be changed......"

Scarlet Feather moved her body carefully, only to feel that there were bandages everywhere, and her whole body was tense. He hurriedly took the medicine bottle, "Miss Xie, Scarlet Feather can come by herself." ”

Xiao Fu'er nodded a little apprehensively, "Then I'll go back first." Now that the city is looking for 'fugitives', you must be careful when you are alone here. I'll come back to see you later. ”

Scarlet Feather didn't have the strength to speak anymore, so she just nodded.

Xiao Fu'er took two steps, looked back at it uneasily, and then lifted the vegetable basket and left the room.

Scarlet Feather lay on the bed, her eyes closed. A faint pain came from all directions of his body, and the weakness of his body made him feel like a dream, and his mind was full of the situation of hiding from the chaotic party with Zuo Ying in Yuanqiu and the scene of the two of them breaking out of the siege in blood on the night when Ziyang City broke.

At that time, the situation was critical, and many details were temporarily ignored, and only then did they revisit the present as if they had experienced it again. She hugged him. Hold your face to his chest; She said that he could not leave him, and she said that she would live and die with him; When he took it upon himself to hand her over to Ashina to break out indefinitely, he heard her calling his name in a hoarse voice...... Perhaps these memories that may have been subjectively processed are only almost transgressive fantasies that can only be found in today's half-dreaming and half-awake state. But he felt a burst of happiness that really made his nose sour for such a nihilistic "fantasy".

Ashina Wuji and Zuo Ying were wary of possible thieves patrolling nearby, so they didn't dare to take the main road, so they could only choose some deserted mountain paths to walk. At the same time, he took a shortcut to Beiqiu City as much as possible.

In late autumn, the weather itself is cold, and in the middle of the barren mountains in the suburbs, the dense humidity of the trees makes people feel even colder.

The two of them found a cave to make sure that there were no wild beasts or poisonous snakes, built a bonfire, roasted the dry food they brought with them a little to eat, and roasted the moisture on their bodies by the fire. I felt that the fatigue of a day's journey was dispelled a little.

"Are you still used to the road?" Although there was some damp moss on the stone behind her, Zuo Ying was still willing to lean on it and relax her back.

Although Ashina Wuji is strong and healthy, he is really not suitable for these rugged and difficult mountain roads in the Central Plains. It's like even a big horse, you don't ride it for thousands of miles a day, but let him carry heavy loads over the mountains. It may not be as efficient as an average Southwestern horse. In addition, the injuries on his body are far from healing, and the impact on his physical strength is not insignificant.

However, being greeted by a little girl like this, he will not easily show weakness, "Hmph, underestimate me? ”

He picked the bonfire in front of him with a twig and made it burn more brightly.

"It's good to get used to it," Zuo Ying stretched, "We'll take turns keeping vigil tonight." You keep watch for the first half of the night, and I come for the second half of the night. ”

Ashina thought to himself, he is a gentleman, and he is already very tired from walking the mountain road for a day, and this little girl also follows her own speed and walks the same road. She didn't say she was tired, she was probably exhausted, and her posture of walking in the last hour or two was a little awkward, and she didn't know if she was usually delicate and expensive, but now she had blisters on her feet after walking two steps. Under such circumstances, how could he allow her to share the vigil with him equally?

He turned his head and glanced at Zuo Ying from head to toe, obviously with good intentions in his heart, but somehow the words that came to his lips were: "Hmph, I can't believe you." ”

Zuo Ying smiled, began to turn around and spread out the pile of hay that she had just collected from outside, then lay on her side on the "hay mat", looked at Ashina and said indefinitely: "Then, I will hand it over to the imperial husband." ”

Ashina pursed his lips indefinitely, and after sitting for a while, he stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave. After wandering around the mouth of the cave, he came back again. When I sat down, I saw that Zuo Ying was still with her eyes open, so she said, "What? Are you still thinking about what the old man said today? I won't die, I won't be impersonated, what do you have to worry about? ”

Zuo Ying was really thinking about what the old man said. But it wasn't the secret art he was talking about.

However, when she heard Ashina's simple and domineering words again, it seemed that he was the only one in her circle, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement again, raised her eyes, and looked at him with a smile.

Ashina was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by such a gaze, "By the way, who is that old man?" How do I feel like you two are talking a little weird? ”

"I thought, I know him." Zuo Ying took a deep breath and said, "Have you noticed what the house we are hiding in is called?" ”

"What's it called?" Ashina blinked indefinitely.

"It was dark when I went in, and I didn't pay attention at the time." Zuo Ying said: "But when I went out today, I saw that the dusty plaque on the lintel was written with the words 'Helan Mansion'. ”

"Helan?" Ashina frowned indefinitely, "Isn't this your family's surname?" …… The old man's master has the same surname as you? ”

Zuo Ying smiled and shook her head, "It's not as simple as having the same surname. If I guessed correctly, my father was what he called the 'old master'. ”

"He's a former courtier of your family?" Ashina Wuji was once again completely defeated by these boring Great Zhou people. He may not understand why some people just don't want to talk well and do things clearly until the day they die of old age, so they have to play dumb riddles around the bend.

Zuo Ying nodded.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you know his son who was an official?" ”

"I want to know." The smile on Zuo Ying's face disappeared, "You also know the imperial husband." ”

"Who is it?" Ashina's eyes widened in curiosity.

"It's the 'guy who has a good drink' who lives with you."

Zuo Ying has been thinking about this in her heart.
