Chapter 164: Heavy Rain
The group barely stopped, and headed straight into the depths of the dense forest.
Near dawn, several sentry spies came back, and almost all of them encountered foot patrols, and Zhou E ordered to hurry up.
Until it was dark, the people were fine, the horses were hungry and tired and could not hold on, a few sentries went out, found a suitable place, and everyone dismounted to rest.
Li Ran squatted next to Zhou E and slowly bit a piece of cake that was already very dry.
A piece of bread had just been half-eaten, and a sentry rushed back and gestured at Zhou E. Zhou E, An Xiaorui and others immediately jumped up.
"Lead the horse and go!" Zhou E pushed Li Ran to Wang Cui's side, and he and An Xiaorui rushed over, watched everyone lead the horses, and then hurriedly buried the traces of with a few sentinels, and hurriedly caught up with everyone.
When I walked to dawn and looked around, it was already a deserted scene.
Several groups of sentinels came back to report, but there was no trace of anyone around, Zhou E let out a long breath and ordered everyone to pause and rest.
"Where are we?" Zhou E personally inspected it, and watched everyone come back, sat next to An Xiaorui, and asked.
"I don't know, we're not walking slowly, this road has been going west-north, four or five hundred miles away from Jin County."
An Xiaorui bit into a dry biscuit with a smile on his face.
"Are there any people you bring who are familiar with this area? It's okay to be here. ”
Zhou E took the water bag handed by Tao Nong and drank the water first.
"Nope." An Xiaorui's answer was very simple. "When I was picking people, I told Shi Nan, Shi Nan said that there are dozens of hard agents who are familiar with Shudi, and each of them has a heavy responsibility.
I really didn't expect us to be ahead of them. ”
An Xiaorui said, laughing.
Zhou E couldn't help but glance at him.
"If I had turned back at that time......"
Before Li Ran's words were finished, he was interrupted by Tao Nong.
"Nine times out of ten, we've been wandering around for three days to recover our souls."
"Don't think about those useless ones." Zhou E looked at Li Ran, "If you want something useful, how are your feet?" ”
"It's fine." Li Ran moved his foot.
After walking all day, both of her feet were already worn out.
"That's good. Since you've come here, let's keep walking, I can go back after all, it's really not good, find a place to hide, I see, that is, a month or two, the longest is only half a year, just wait for the army to come over, in terms of fighting, how can Shu compare to your prince? Rest assured. ”
Zhou E drank the water, and while biting the cake, she didn't care.
"I'm just a little worried about him." Li Ran was silent for a moment and said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Zhou E was stunned.
Momonong looked sideways at Li Ran, frowning slightly.
An Xiaorui laughed, "Why are you worried about him?" He has thousands of troops around him, are you still worried that he will lose the battle and be killed? You shouldn't worry about him, he should worry about you. ”
"I'm worried that he's worried about me."
Li Ran sighed.
Zhou E paused with the hand that bit the cake, turned her head to look at Li Ran, and for a moment, looked at Tao Nong, who looked at her and didn't speak.
An Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhou E, and then at Tao Nong, hesitated and didn't speak.
"Fifth master, if your daughter-in-law is like this, there will be no news for a while, you have to be very worried, right?"
Momonon looked at An Xiaorui and asked with a smile.
"I'm not really worried." An Xiaorui thought about it carefully, and was replied: "My daughter-in-law is a pregnant woman who can fight tigers." ”
Zhou E almost choked when she said a sentence, "What is this?" Can you fight a tiger while pregnant? ”
"My daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Orion family, and at the age of eight or nine she can go hunting alone, once, she followed her mother to the town to sell prey, passed by a private school, and heard that people read well, and wanted to learn, so she brought a pheasant to find the husband, a chicken, and the husband taught her for half an hour, how much to learn.
That gentleman had limited knowledge, and after eating a dozen or so of her chickens, there was nothing he could teach her.
She's smarter than me and better at kung fu than me, so why should I worry? She was worried about me. ”
"Hey, such a good girl, she actually fell in love with you?" Zhou E joked with a smile.
"He's good-looking!" Tao Nong said as he looked at An Xiaorui.
"What's the use of being good-looking?" Zhou E immediately refuted it.
"My daughter-in-law said the same thing, saying that she is good-looking, can she eat or drink?" Ahn Xiaorui laughed.
"Then how did she marry you? Because your surname is Ann? Momonon gossiped.
"No, after she got married, she only knew that she had married into the An family, and she guessed about it before, she was very smart.
When my aunt heard about her, she came to ask for a kiss, but she refused at first, saying that no matter how I had to find someone better than her, my aunt asked me to find a way by myself, in short, I had to marry her back. ”
Ahn Xiaorui laughed as he spoke.
"I went to her to talk to her, and she finally agreed."
"It must be because he is good-looking, if he is an ugly bastard, can his daughter-in-law allow him to talk badly? It's been kicked out a long time ago. "I know this thing best with Momonong's face.
Li Ran listened to their comings and goings, and her heart gradually relaxed, and she also smiled and asked, "When did you become a parent?" Before you arrived in the capital, your daughter-in-law was pregnant? ”
"Well, when we set off, we were in labor in a month, and we had already given birth, and it was a girl, and my aunt said it was very similar to me."
"It must be a very beautiful little girl." Momono laughed.
"Is your daughter-in-law good-looking?" Zhou E asked slightly.
"Beautiful! Of course it's good-looking! An Xiaorui rolled his eyes at Zhou E.
Li Ran laughed, and Tao Nong patted Zhou E and laughed.
A few people talked and laughed, and everyone relaxed, ate and drank well, rested for a while, and found a place to sleep.
Li Ran curled up beside the fire and slept until the second half of the night, when a few dull thunders came, and when Zhou E and An Xiaorui woke everyone up, the thunder and lightning were already overhead, and the torrential rain was pouring down.
There is no place to shelter from the rain around, Zhou E wiped the rain on her face, and told everyone to move forward with her throat, such a heavy rain, standing still, it will be too cold to stand it for a while, it is better to hurry forward.
Li Ran followed between Wang Cui and Shen Mai, in the dark woodland, sliding forward step by step.
The worn feet were soaked in muddy water, the pain was no longer stinging, dull and numb, the raindrops fell on the body from a high place, it was extremely cold, Li Ran shivered, and changed the wooden staff to a hand.
A bolt of lightning struck down, shining a miserable white snow in front of Li Ran's eyes, and the sound of trees crashing down was heard not far away.
The whole procession, including the horses, moved forward quietly and quickly amid the lightning that flashed and thundered from time to time.
Torrential rain comes and passes quickly.
After the rainstorm, the air was fresh and thorough, Li Ran looked up and looked at the clear and shining starry sky through the gap above the trees, and let out a long breath.
