Chapter 35: Afoeta roasted rabbit meat next to the wine house

The dawn wind carried the damp and cool breath of the wilderness, and beside the official road that had not been repaired for a long time, there was a small wine house and three or five dilapidated bamboo houses.

At this time, it was still early, and the rest of the people were still asleep and did not wake up, Huaiyu was wearing a azure robe, long hair was tied high, male and female were indistinguishable, she stood alone in front of the official road, facing the rising sun, I don't know what she was thinking.

It is more than 2,000 miles from Kyoto to Yundu.

She was so anxious that she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly to Yundu.

Gu and Showa Awei took turns to catch the car, the group did not sleep, traveled more than 100 miles a day, and has been on the road for more than ten days, and today arrived in Pingzhang County, where there is only less than 12/12 of the distance from the cloud capital.

After running around for several days, Duan Qinqin was already tired and had a dull complexion, and Xiaoliu and Panfu couldn't hold it anymore, so Huaiyu had to slow down his trip and leave more time for everyone to fully rest.

When the sun was fully rising, Duan Qinqin looked sleepy, and came out of the bamboo house with the help of Pan Fu, and when she saw Huaiyu, she said guiltily: "I'm snooze again." ”

Huaiyu combed her broken hair hanging between her sideburns, and saw that Ah Wei had already fed the horse, leading the horse to prepare for the car, Huaiyu said loudly: "Brother Ah Wei doesn't have to set the car, today we will rest here for a day, and we will go tomorrow." ”

Ah Wei looked at Huaiyu inquiringly: "This ......"

"It's okay, just rest for a day, there's nothing to delay."

Seeing Huaiyu say this, Ah Wei no longer insisted, and silently led the horse to the grass next to the official, and the horse leisurely ate the grass again, Ah Wei walked up to Huaiyu and said, "I'll go get you something to eat!" ”

Although this is an official road, it is rarely populated, and there are 100-meter-high hills on the left and right, and there is only an old man and a young man selling wine in the wine house, but there is not even a little food.

The group of them ate their own dry food yesterday.

Huaiyu confessed uneasily: "There are few people here, Brother Awei should not go far." ”

Ah Wei nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the mountain forest in three or five steps.

"We're resting here, are we really okay?" Duan Qinqin looked at Huaiyu a little timidly, worried that he was dragging everyone down.

Huaiyu said: "Right, and then know the severity; degrees, and then know the length. Everything is the same, and the heart is very important. A few days ago, I was too eager to think it through, and it was not advisable to rush so sleeplessly. And this place is only 400 miles away from Yundu, so let's rest for a day and then walk. ”

She didn't want to go to Yundu, so that her father and mother could see her haggard look.

Duan Qinqin saw that she said solemnly, not like she was comforting herself, so she put her mind at ease, and saw her solemn face again, frowning slightly, knowing that she was anxious.

"Huaiyu, I'm ......" Duan Qinqin wanted to speak and stopped.

"You can rest assured, don't worry about me, I'm glad you've been suffering these days."

"No, Huaiyu, when you say this, you mean to make me uncomfortable. I know, you feel bad, but you don't want to hold it alone, talk to us, Xiaoyanagi and Panfu are very worried about you. ”

Duan Qinqin was distressed when she saw Huaiyu like this, she was three months older than Huaiyu, but in front of Huaiyu, she was like a little sister who needed Huaiyu's protection.

Huaiyu sighed: "Along the way, all the business travelers in the past have been talking about Yundu, and they all scolded my father for being mad and disregarding the lives of the people for the sake of military merit......"

"They're hearsay! Ill hearings makes ill rehearsing! If you don't know anything, what can you use to judge others? ”

Duan Qinqin was excited and angry!

"The world comments that things are small, but the Son of Heaven is ruthless and things are big!"

Far away from Kyoto, and in this uninhabited mountain and forest official road, Huaiyu was not so cautious when he spoke.

Frightened, Duan Qinqin hurriedly covered her mouth, glanced left and right a few times, and after making sure that there was no one else, she exclaimed: "You are crazy!" ”

Huaiyu smiled, her fair face was a little fragile in the fine sunlight, her figure half a head higher than Duan Qinqin was straight and solemn, and her slender figure was in the morning light, silently revealing a tenacity that could not be difficult for anything.

She turned around, turned her back to Duan Qinqin, and looked in the direction of Yundu from afar: "I'm crazy......"

Ever since she heard Zhao Yan's sentence "Only the Duan family is transporting food to the Gu family's army", she has gone crazy.

When the first emperor was there, his father fought on the battlefield for Dayou, spilling blood on the frontier, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Gu family army exchanged their flesh and blood for the people of Dayou to live and work in peace and contentment.

But now......

After the current saint ascended the throne, he took back the military power in his father's hands step by step, recalled his father, a general, from the military camp to Kyoto, and let his father stay at home and not participate in the training of soldiers.

"Soldiers don't know generals, generals don't know soldiers", the Gu family army exists in name only.

Even so, Huaiyu felt that there was nothing wrong with it, the country and the people were safe, there was no war, and their family lived together peacefully, which was more important than anything else!

But why, why do you have to work hard? Why did you force your dad into such a situation?

Huaiyu took a deep breath, she was young, her father never told her about the surging suspicions and scruples in the court, in the past ten years, she lived a relaxed and happy life under the protection of her father.

Henceforth...... Gone are those days.

Huaiyu was like an old monk, closed his eyes, and stood straight on the edge of this official road.

Koyanagi and Panfu stood quietly and worriedly behind her.

Fortunately, after a short time, Ah Wei walked over with a few thin bamboos, and there were two rabbits and a southern snake on the bamboo pole, and he laughed and said, "Good luck, I hunted two rabbits!" I'll roast rabbit meat for everyone! ”

As he spoke, he threw the rabbit to the ground and shouted at Gu Hezhao, who was sitting in the carriage basking in the sun, "Hey! Brother, don't be idle, come and give me a hand! ”

"I can help!"

Huaiyu walked over: "Well, help wash the rabbit!" ”

"You don't have to do it!" Ah Wei waved his hand, "You can rest, you haven't rested much in the past few days, take advantage of today, take care of your spirits." ”

"That's it, Huaiyu, you just stay aside, and I'll help Brother Awei." Koyanagi rolled up his sleeves, pushed Huaiyu aside, lifted the rabbit on the ground and walked into the brewhouse.

Huaiyu saw that he had nothing to do, so he looked at the bamboo on the ground helplessly, and was about to pick it up to make a bamboo battle for himself, when the best bamboo pole suddenly disappeared in front of him with a "whoosh", but it was snatched by Gu Youzhao!

He looked at Huaiyu, showed a smug smile, took out a sharp knife from his arms, quickly trimmed the bamboo branches, cut the bamboo pole into a foot and a half long, and scraped off the burrs and so on, and carved a lively pigeon on the top.

In Huaiyu's stunned, he put the bamboo stick into Huaiyu's hand.

Huaiyu shook it in her hand, retreated to the official road and played a few tricks, she felt very good, she smiled rarely, and said to Gu Youzhao: "Not bad!" Thank you, big brother! ”

She left the general's mansion in a hurry, not only did she not have time to bring Xiao Ash, but she also didn't bring the sword that Zhao Yan gave her, and she didn't have a weapon on her body, so she always felt that something was missing.

With this bamboo stick, it can also be used.

At this time, Ah Wei and Xiao Yanagi had already set up a shelf on the grass outside the sake house, washed the rabbits, lit a big fire, and roasted the rabbits on the fire.

Ah Wei took out the salt and pepper from the carriage, and when the rabbit meat exuded a burst of meat fragrance, he carefully sprinkled a layer on the rabbit meat, and the rabbit meat made a sound, and a drop of hot oil slowly slid down the lines of the plump meat, falling into the flames, and the aroma was overflowing, and it was full of greed.

Qin Qin and Xiao Liu sat on the ground, swallowed their saliva, and watched by the side.

Qin Qin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Awei, aren't you okay yet?" ”

Along the way, she was going crazy with dry food!

Ah Wei smiled: "It's almost there! ”
