Chapter 5 Encountering Snakes Outside the Gate
On the second day, when the soldiers had recovered from their illnesses, the whole army regained its strength and prepared to leave the customs.
Along the way, I walked at the end with five Central Plains women, following the infantry. The Li family's army was very long, and the cavalry led by Li Yi could not be seen at all, and he could only see the fluttering Jiuhan banner from a distance.
I thought I would take this opportunity to ask the soldiers for some news, but I didn't expect that even these infantrymen would ignore me. Not only that, but if you scratch the back of their necks with a dog's tail, it will look like an elm head. I really doubt that Li Yi has played some tricks on his subordinates, and why the military discipline is so strict.
In Zang Hu, no matter how old or young in the army, he is a good partner. Simmer a pot of good wine, grill a piece of meat, and everyone sits together, which is heaven and earth.
After that, I walked day and night for a long, long time, and I felt that I probably had never come such a long way in my life.
Going out of Qianyuan Pass, it was about as long as the mileage I had walked around three laps of horses on the outskirts of Zanghu, not to mention how the smoke and dust flew all over the sky and choked people, just the stones under my feet almost killed me. There are many rivers to wade through, but the fun thing is that the river is crystal shiny, and there are small fish and shrimp hiding under the rocks to enjoy the shade.
Then I also came across a swamp, I thought that the eldest brother took me out to play when I had just learned to ride a horse, but I didn't expect to strayed into the swamp, the horse was hoarse, and it fell deeper and deeper. Later, the two of us went back covered in mud and were scolded by Daddy. The eldest brother was hung up and whipped with a saw rattan for an afternoon, and I thought about it behind closed doors for three days.
I shook my head, the sun above my head was so wild and majestic that it was a strange weather.
The soldiers in front of them were mostly wet in their clothes, and they had to wear helmets, so if they were stuffed in the heat, they might get heat stroke.
"Hey, big brother, why don't you take off your helmet and cool down?" I scratched the back of his neck with a dog's tail grass.
The man frowned, turned to glance, and followed the group. I was amazed, his whole body was getting hot, and he was sweating all over his face.
"It's useless what you do, Li Jiajun has always been known for his strict military discipline, don't say it's a helmet, even if it's roasted under the blazing fire, you can't move for half a minute." Lingniang appeared next to me at some point, and several other women kept laughing and playing behind me.
"Oh......"
"Don't worry, you will be in Lanzhou City in two days, and then you will follow our sisters and lead you to have a good taste of the four joys of life!"
I looked at Ling Niang's narrow peach blossom eyes and winked at me a few times.
"What are the four joys of life?" I was immediately interested.
"Well, that's eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling! You don't even know this, it's still a little doll. Her word "bet" went up, and I got excited.
Suddenly, a soldier rode in front of him to report: "The general has an order, all the horses and horses are stationed here for the night!" ”
I listened to a sigh of relief. It's finally time to rest!
The soldiers began to put up their tents, and I saw that the girls had all gone to the waterfall and stream thousands of kilometers away to bathe, and the smiling woman in the light pink dress was Xie Niang, the smoky green Luo skirt was Sichuan Niang, the goose yellow dress was the white lady, and the evening lady who always carried a smell of flowers.
I often wonder, do Central Plains women like to add a female character at the end when choosing a name? Isn't that too old, especially since they are still a group of girls with beautiful faces. However, the Central Plains women are really beautiful, they are really thin and white, and they can dress themselves. I looked down at myself, my unremarkable chest, a tie tied around my waist, and my shriveled and wrinkled hands.
I hunched my head and found a place where there was no one and sat on the shore of a deep pool. I took off the damn pair of boots that I was wearing that were extremely uncomfortable, and I didn't dare to squeeze them easily on each pair of feet.
It's cool to put your feet in the waterhole!
Occasionally, a breeze rose, and some leaves swayed to the surface. From time to time, I shook my legs and watched the splashed droplets bloom into a flower in the air.
I suddenly noticed a dark shadow lingering not far away, and when I looked closely, it was Li Di, who was carrying a cowhide water bag to catch water in a small stream in front of me.
The red cloak was blown up by the wind, and he held the water bag in one hand and looked up to drink, and there seemed to be small flowers blooming everywhere he looked, and I hurriedly looked away embarrassedly. What a guy who doesn't fight for it.
The blue sky swayed in the bright yellow leaves, like a trembling golden torrent. The swollen warm current rushed in front of you, as if hot air was pouring out of the furnace. There is a feeling that there is some kind of wind blowing, some kind of cloud shadow floating in the sky, there is a certain smell rippling in the air, there is a certain amount of humidity.
I shook my legs slightly, and my calves were a little slippery. Hey? Slipperiness?
After realizing that something was wrong, he raised his right leg and saw that it was a snake! I'm not afraid of any centipede scorpions, but what I'm most afraid of is this kind of guy who is long and sticky and eats his companions!
"Help—help!" I didn't dare to move, but my body was already shaking.
I saw that the miserable green water snake was tightly wrapped around my calf, constantly spitting out the core, making a "sizzling" sound, don't leave two holes in my body.
I shouted for help again, and suddenly a black figure quickly picked the water snake away with his sword, cutting it off on the grass by the river, splattering blood on the ground, and the two bodies were still wriggling in pain.
When the shock was undecided, the voice of a group of centaurs came from a distance, and with a wave of the young man in Xuanyi, the group immediately stopped, and then turned around and left.
I quickly put down the fade hanging in the air, and Li Di turned his back to me and said, "Are you okay?" ”
casually put on his boots and hurriedly ran away from him, leaving only a "thank you". For a moment, it seemed that he accidentally caught a glimpse of Li Di's red ears, up to his neck. I remember Abu said that in the Central Plains, men are not allowed to look at a woman's bare feet, and if they do, then the man must marry the woman.
I ran back to the camp in embarrassment and embarrassment, but the clothes of the Central Plains people were so long that they always tripped me.
