Chapter 214: Joining the Army
Two paths appeared in front of Mu Xi, and the road map became more and more blurred in her mind, and it seemed that memory was a luxury for her now.
Not knowing which way to choose, she looked up at the sky, the sun was behind her, facing the north.
Li Luo was right in front of her, and she was having a hard time because she didn't know the way.
Slowly walking from behind, two farmers carrying farm tools, one tall and one thin. Farmer Gao said: "Why is there war again now? We're having a hard time. ”
The thin farmer complied, "Yes, the harvest was not satisfactory, so it is even more difficult. We are all people who tighten our belts and get by. ”
Farmer Gao said, "Did you see a team of people who passed by here yesterday?" That's really mighty, I hope it can administer justice for us, otherwise, our hard life will be endless. ”
The thin farmer said, "I saw it, not only me, but the whole village. I heard that the leader of that group was surnamed Li, and he was very manly. ”
That's it.
Mu Xi blocked their way, smiled and waved his hands: "I don't know which direction the army surnamed Li said the two elder brothers said?" ”
In order to prevent others from thinking about her, Mu Xi specially changed into men's clothes, which made it easier for her to move.
The thin farmer asked, "What are you looking for them?" Army? ”
Mu Xi replied: "Yes, doesn't it mean that it is better to be a centurion than a scholar, the country is in trouble, so it is natural to come forward." ”
The fat farmer said, "It's no problem to tell you, but they don't have to be you just looking at your thin appearance, so why should you suffer this sin?" ”
Mu Xi smiled and did not speak. The thin farmer pointed to the left and said, "They followed this path." ”
Mu Xi thanked them and went to the left, where the owl was now asleep, and the sound of other little birds surrounded her.
On the side of the road on the left, a woman set up a pergola to sell herbal tea for passers-by to quench their thirst.
Mu Xi happened to be tired and thirsty, so he sat down and called, "Boss, come with a bowl of herbal tea." ”
The proprietress came in response and saw Mu Xi and smiled: "The son is so handsome." ”
Mu Xi smiled embarrassedly, and asked uneasily: "Boss, have you ever seen a team of people passing from here?" ”
The proprietress was enthusiastic and said, "I see, I see." One of the soldiers left behind and drank a bowl of tea with me before leaving, and I don't know if he ended up following him. Childe, are you going to join the army too? Listen to my advice, you can't bear the hardships of the army, and you will definitely want to go home in a few days. It's not easy to get home, and they'll treat you like a deserter. Otherwise, if Childe works with me, I promise that I will not treat Childe badly. ”
Mu Xi took out the medicine from the baggage and swallowed a few pills, and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm not in good health, I'm afraid I can't accept your kindness." ”
Mu Xi put a few copper coins on the table and left.
Calculating the time, Mu Xi has been out for two days, and he should be about to arrive at the post house where Li Luo is staying.
Why hasn't it been yet?
Mu Xi lost her mind and calculated the distance from Li Luo, not noticing the movement of the grass next to her, and a person followed her. Muxi came back to his senses and stopped, and the people in the grass also stopped.
Mu Xi slowly walked towards the grass, and there was a stirring in the grass, and suddenly a black shadow sprang out from it and pressed Mu Xi under him.
During the struggle, Mu Xi pulled out the dagger that was placed on his waist for self-defense, and the man, sensing the danger, jumped up, left Mu Xi, and stood three steps away from Mu Xi.
In the thick of the night, Mu Xi saw the approximate size of the person in front of him, probably because of the battle just now, and he was gasping for breath at this time.
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking up on me? Mu Xi clutched the dagger tightly in both hands, for fear that one would accidentally be snatched away by someone else and hurt her.
"Don't be dumb, talk! Someone must have sent you, right? ”
The man still didn't speak, and Mu Xi began to be afraid, this enemy in the dark made her heart feel bottomless, as if she would die here in the next moment. After a long time, the man slowly spoke, his voice trembling, and said, "It's obvious that you are following me." ”
"You talk nonsense! I'm walking on the road well, it's you who pounced and wanted to take my life, how can I say that I followed you! ”
"You have a dagger on you, but I don't. You must be a spy sent by the enemy to inquire about our situation, who will you solve if I don't solve it? ”
The proprietress said that there was a small soldier left behind the team, and I am afraid that it was him, so he was Li Luo's soldier.
Since he was on this road, it meant that Li Luo was not far away.
Thinking of this, Mu Xi unconsciously laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Without waiting for Mu Xi to speak, he immediately said: "You won't be able to laugh right away, our leader's men and horses are not far ahead, and dealing with you as a spy is like stepping on an ant to death!" ”
"Really? You better make sure what you're saying is true. Muxi put away his dagger.
"You misunderstood, we all misunderstood, I am not a spy, I am a person who stands on the same front as you. You just said that Lilo's men are not far away, take me there, I'm looking for them. ”
The man didn't believe that Mu Xili was standing still and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Kazeki." Mu Xi didn't want Li Luo to find out about her so early, so he had to make up a fake name.
"What about you, what's your name?"
"My name is Xie Feng."
Mu Xi nodded and said, "You and I both carry a wind character in our names, it's really fateful." ”
It's really to get an outlet that almost says anything.
"Xie Feng, let's go, go find Li Luo's team, if you don't go to the team for a moment, you won't be at ease for a moment."
Xie Feng slowly came out of the shadows, getting closer and closer to Mu Xixiang, and said that the person who looks like this should not be a bad person, and she laughed so kindly.
Xie Feng took the kettle from his waist and asked, "Do you want to drink water?" ”
Mu Xi thanked him, and took out the medicine by the way.
Xie Feng said: "Are you looking for Liluo people to join the army?" ”
Mu Xi paused, he didn't expect him to ask this question, but he was asked this all the way, so he simply nodded.
"But the assessment for joining the army is very strict, and it took me a lot of effort to pass, I don't know if you can do it."
Li Luo is so cautious, of course, not all crooked melons and cracked dates can go in.
Mu Xi said confidently: "Of course I can pass." ”
Xie Feng sighed and said: "Forget it, I'll steal a set of our military uniforms for you to put on, it's our soldiers, they won't suspect it." ”
Mu Xi quickly changed into the military uniform brought by Xie Feng and followed him back to the team.
Xie Feng whispered to Mu Xi: "Once you join the army, it is also very dangerous not to fight. But don't worry, I'll protect you. ”
