Chapter XXIII; Peer
Zhao Ziqing suddenly felt that one head was two big, she looked at Du San, and asked, "Are you going to arrest me too?" β
Du San didn't rush to reply to her words, but looked at her silently for a while before he spoke: "Are you really unwilling to go to Sioux City?" β
"Nonsense, do you need to talk about it?" Zhao Ziqing muttered in his heart, and then said with a little hostility: "That's right, I don't want to go." β
Du San said a little strangely: "Why, that's your grandmother's house." β
"I don't want to go." Zhao Ziqing didn't want to understand anything, so he replied simply.
Du San didn't seem to know what to say for a while, and was silent for a while, and then he said a word that almost flashed Zhao Ziqing off the horse: "Then you take me, and I will follow you in the future." β
"Huh?" Zhao Ziqing thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?" Du San repeated the words, Zhao Ziqing was sure that he had heard correctly, and he couldn't help but be a little unable to react for a while, not understanding what Du San meant by this, and couldn't help asking, "Why?" β
"I promised the old lady that I would protect you for the rest of my life." Du San replied bluntly.
Zhao Ziqing wiped his forehead, resisted the urge to go berserk, and then said calmly: "Your oath is here, I can take care of myself in the future, you don't have to bother, you don't have to follow me." After speaking, without waiting for him to reply, he rode his horse and walked past him.
However, as soon as he walked not far away, he heard Du San say loudly behind him: "But I'm not at ease!" β
Zhao Ziqing suddenly felt like she was electrocuted, and her body shook slightly-I really don't feel at ease about leaving you a weak woman in this hell-this sentence seemed to suddenly ring in her ears again, making her suddenly return to that worrying moment.
Zhao Ziqing raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After the mood gradually calmed down, he didn't look back, his eyes fell on the snow on the top of the mountain in the distance, and he said indifferently: "Thank you, but you still don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine." With that, he raised his foot and kicked heavily in the belly of the horse on both sides, and the horse neighed in surprise, and then raised his hooves and galloped forward.
In fact, it would not be a bad thing to have a bodyguard like Du San with him, but Zhao Ziqing really didn't want to have anything to do with them, so he had to draw a clear line with them as soon as possible, otherwise there would only be more trouble in the future.
As long as they leave them now, in the next two years, after the appearance of this body has completely changed, they will not recognize her even if they want to.
It's just that Zhao Ziqing, who thought that Du San would retreat in the face of difficulties, turned around and found that he had followed him from a distance, looking like that, he seemed to be planning to follow like this all the time.
Zhao Ziqing suddenly had a big head again, knowing that it would not be useful to tell him more, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while - he couldn't take out a gun and kill him.
Zhao Ziqing had no choice but to speed up some horse steps, hoping to get rid of him.
However, if you really want to talk about riding, Zhao Ziqing is just an amateur, and Du San is trained from the battlefield with real swords and guns, the gap between the two is not at the same level at all, no matter how hard Zhao Ziqing tries, Du San always keeps the same distance from her, not far or close.
Moreover, after walking for more than half a day, Zhao Ziqing finally realized the so-called hardship of being unfamiliar with the place, it is obvious that this area is a sparsely populated mountainous area, and after walking for so long, it is still in the ravine between the mountains and the mountains.
Not knowing where she was, let alone where she was going, Zhao Ziqing couldn't help but feel a little confused, and in desperation, she had to stop slowly, and Du San immediately stopped the horse not far away.
Zhao Ziqing turned his head to look around, but he had no choice but to look back at Du San and said, "Do you know the road?" β
"Where are you going?" Du San looked at her calmly, and responded without being salty.
Zhao Ziqing frowned - yes, what if I want to go there?
Her gaze was bewildered again, as if to discern direction, and then at the mountains that stood around her, and finally at the sky; It was noon, and the clouds in the sky had faded considerably, revealing some of the colors of the sky, and the sun was shining through the gaps in the clouds, shining on the distant mountain tops, and the snow reflected the blinding light.
- Then let's get out of this mountainous area first, as for where to go, it doesn't matter for the time being. Zhao Ziqing thought so in her heart, and then she turned her head to look at Du San and said, "I want to leave this mountainous area." β
Du San's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see something from Zhao Ziqing, and after a while he said: "This mountainous area is very wide, and if you go out from different directions, the farthest place will be hundreds of miles apart. After speaking, she was very considerate and said several places and place names around this mountainous area for Zhao Ziqing.
However, except for one Jiangyang City, Zhao Ziqing has never heard of other places - it doesn't seem to be of much help.
Zhao Ziqing thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Where are we closest now?" β
"Yun'an Mansion."
"Okay, then let's go to Yun'an Mansion."
Hearing the word "we", Du San's face showed a trace of imperceptible excitement, obviously this was Zhao Ziqing's agreement to go with him.
In fact, he knew what Zhao Ziqing had in his heart - since he couldn't get rid of him, he couldn't get him to sleep; Because he must have seen the process of attacking Feng Yu, he will naturally be on guard - the best thing to do now is to let him relax his vigilance first, and then find an opportunity to attack.
The two of them went one after the other, but at this time their positions had been reversed, Du San led the way in front, and Zhao Ziqing followed behind.
The mountains are overgrown with weeds, shrubs, and covered with snow, so the road must be difficult to walk, but fortunately, woodcutters and hunters usually pass through these places, and cut out one trail after another, although it is difficult to walk, it is finally passable.
They passed through the valleys, and at noon, passing through a relatively flat and open place, Du San suddenly turned his head and said to Zhao Ziqing: "Miss, you take a rest here first, and I'll go find something to eat." β
- This is icy and snowy, what can you find to eat, Zhao Ziqing's suspicious gaze swept from the surrounding mountains, "No need, I still have dry food here." Then she dismounted, removed the snow from a rock, and turned and sat down.
At this moment, she already had two more packs of highly concentrated compressed biscuits and two boxes of nutrients in her hands - originally a pack of biscuits and a box of nutrients like this were the standard rations for a person's meal, but Zhao Ziqing suddenly remembered that they chewed meat last night, and a pack of biscuits might be a little less, so he simply handed over the two packs of biscuits and a box of nutrients, "Here you go." With that, he put it on the snow.
Du San looked at those things with a puzzled expression, and when he heard Zhao Ziqing say that she had dry food on her, he was a little suspicious - she didn't seem to have anything on her. But in the blink of an eye, she really took out these things.
The packaging of the biscuit was nothing, it was just a primitive grass-colored paper without any patterns, but the nutrients were originally sold in the mall, and the packaging was extremely exquisite, Du San looked at the patterns and symbols on the packagingβin fact, wordsβhis eyes were full of curiosity.
"What is this?" He couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Ziqing only responded simply, "Eat." She obviously didn't care about what Du San was thinking, and then took out a pack of biscuits from her cuffs, unsealed the nutrition package, pulled out the straw, and then unpacked the biscuits and ate them.
Just these two packets of biscuits and a box of nutrients, in Du San's opinion, it was obviously a little less, but when he was out on the march before, it was not uncommon for him to eat less or even not eat because of insufficient food, so he didn't feel that this was an embarrassing thing.
He found a stone not far from Zhao Ziqing and sat down, and unpacked the nutrient package in a similar way-huh? It tastes good.
And what he didn't know was that this biscuit was even more powerful, and when he ate both packets of biscuits, he gradually felt that his stomach was about to burst, as if he had eaten a whole sheep.
