Ji Kang'er walked north all night, and when the east turned white, he glanced at the morning star on the horizon.

At this moment, a sharp hiss pierced the silence of dawn, and the steel-winged and iron-beaked falcon swooped down with Ji Kang'er's gesture "Boom-" and firmly stopped on Ji Kang'er's arm.

Ji Kang'er took out a piece of bacon from the bag and handed it to the eagle falcon, and said kindly: "Tartar, this time we are really companions." ”

A horse, an eagle, and a man walked on the increasingly sandy land, and in the distance, the steaming sun rose vigorously, and the solitary smoke was straight, and the morning sun was round......

When the morning dawned, a light dust was raised from far and near on the opposite straight road, and the sound of horses' hooves was very urgent.

The man on the opposite side of the tall horse, with a fur hat and leather robe, carried a large knife behind his back, carried a short sword with him, and a huge wine gourd pinned to his waist.

The man's eyes were as big as copper bells and full of smiles, and his wild white beard covered the chapped skin and knife-like wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and at a glance, people knew that this face was the result of years of stumbling in the cold and dry places.

"Lao Feng, why are you here?" Ji Kang'er arched his hand and asked knowingly, "If it weren't for your usual drunken body, I wouldn't have recognized you." ”

The person who came was his father's former favorite general, Lao Feng, who was known as the "wine gourd". Lao Feng was originally a talent from Jigong Academy, the highest institution of learning in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and studied under the first Yangmingzi of the college, however, because he was a prodigal wreck when he was young and drunk like his life, he was finally sent to the border by the master.

That old Feng is not only well-read and memorable, but also unambiguous on the battlefield. He followed the general Ji Hao to fight in the north and fought many vicious battles.

Ji Kang'er hadn't seen Lao Feng for six years, and as soon as he came to the horse, he gave him a big hug, which made Lao Feng's heart numb.

When this old Feng saw Ji Kang, it was like seeing his own son, and his heart was hot for a while.

Ji Kang'er was unceremoniously, snatched the wine gourd and drank it with a grunt, and then smashed his mouth and said, "Lao Feng, you are old and yellow, but the wine is like your own person, and it is getting more and more mellow." ”

Lao Feng rolled his eyes proudly: "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and my old Feng is not afraid that there will be no little daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"That's right! Lao Feng, you should be my father. Ji Kang'er saw the stitches and did not miss any opportunity to slip and shoot the horse.

At first, because Lao Feng came to answer, Ji Kang'er was in a good mood all of a sudden, and couldn't help but be interested. He beat his horse and sang loudly, what:

"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, looking at the prosperity of the world, my young heart was always a little frivolous, and now I have made the whole world home, dripping drip, dripping drip......"

Lao Feng heard that Nan Yan'er was ruined and tampered with by Ji Kang'er this week, and he laughed and scolded him, but he had no temper in his heart for this naughty boy, and in the face of his various naughty mischief, Lao Feng has never been in a hurry or annoyed.

Since dawn, the bushes along the road have been replaced by cistanche, which is customary in the extreme cold, and the fertile black soil has been replaced by bare rocks.

Straight north, even the cracked mountains and bare slopes soon disappeared, leaving only a desertified wasteland.

The further north you go, the cooler it gets, and the darker the sky gets. Ji Kang'er looked up at the sky, but there was no warmth in the red sun, and the four fields were open, so it was a northland scenery.

After walking for a few more hours, Ji Kang'er's mood plummeted.

The sandy soil, like the fried noodles made by the mother, casually takes a step, the yellow sand fills the trouser tube, and the horse's hooves are raised, and the fine smoke and dust all the way up to the throat are choked, which can really be described as the old saying "mulberry thorns have no leaves and native smoke".

At this time, her lips were chapped and thirsty, and her nasal cavity was already covered by the wind and sand, so Ji Kang'er had to breathe heavily through her mouth.

The back-watered clothes and salted crotch made him have to endure the grinding of the flesh and skin after the clothes were stiff......

"Old Feng, when will I have a place to rest?" Ji Kang'er's tone was almost begging.

"Lao Feng, I couldn't even say goodbye to my mother, let alone bring winter clothes!"

"Lao Feng, have you ever eaten the fathead fish I caught......?

Ji Kang'er was very good at complaining along the way, and the tricks she used to deal with Ji Bo on weekdays were spared no effort on Lao Feng this time.

Lao Feng usually doesn't talk much, but now he is even more precious to words, that is, he is very tall. Regarding Ji Kang'er's complaints, he did not say anything. This trick is more effective, and it does not consume limited energy on this little rabbit cub.

Just like that, a chatterbox, a mute, and before they knew it, the two of them ran out for more than ten miles.

At the moment when Ji Kang'er was dozing off and almost fell off the horse, the eagle falcon stabbed down again, grabbed Ji Kang'er's belt and dragged it to the high flying place. Ji Kang'er: "Ah-" woke up.

He rubbed his eyes, and at the end of the horizon, a lonely liquor shop appeared......

"Ha, there is still a wine shop in this place where it is so cold that it is scumbag and camels do not give birth to cubs?" Ji Kang'er looked ecstatic.

A wisp of soft cooking smoke curled up, and the flag wind beckoned to passers-by.

Hurrying to the nearest place, Ji Kang'er saw a big "Zhou" flag with white characters on a black background erected outside the store.

"This is the last liquor store at the northern end of the straight road, it belongs to my Great Zhou military, and it is specially used for soldiers to come and go, and supplies to the mainland to rest. Accommodation and meals are free of charge, but the drinks are only five. Boy, you are different from others, my old Feng is good for you, and the wine is enough!"

Lao Feng said, jumped off the horse, and stepped into the wine shop with the heroic steps of a soldier.

The guy in the store hurriedly beckoned: "General, this is back." He saw that behind Lao Feng was a cucumber egg that had not yet grown into a shape, the teenage boy clutched the reins in his hand tightly and did not dismount, his delicate little face had been torn by the cold wind a few times, the blood stains at the mouth had condensed into dark red, and the peach blossoms bloomed on his white face.

"Come down, little brother, come into the house and warm up......"

The guy in the store did not salute this aristocratic child with a scarf in his hair according to the etiquette of the mainland, but casually greeted Ji Kang and led Ji Kang to dismount.

This guy knows better than anyone that no matter how noble and prominent your status was before, once you arrived at the Northern Great Wall, everyone was the same, and they were all night watchmen with equal status guarding the Great Wall of the Great Zhou Northern Xinjiang Military Defense Line.

The liquor store stood alone on the road leading to the Great Wall, and the cold air from the north was blowing from the north mouth of the pot to the south.

Most of the time, it's unusually deserted. In the first month of the year, only the first month after the beginning of spring will be lively for a while. On weekdays, unless there are scouts who come and go to send military information and pass the king's edict, there are few people.

Scouts come and go, and they only stop here, not stop.

This is not the season to replenish the source of new recruits and replace veterans, nor is it a stall for soldiers to take vacations, and it is thankful that you can see a personal shadow. Therefore, seeing a visitor, this guy can't be happier.

The hospitality of the wine shop is like a cauldron with its mouth open, waiting for the noodles to be put into the pot.

Ji Kang'er saw that the thin shop guy greeted him as an equal, and he was not angry but happy, because since he was a child, he rarely got such an informal gift.

He dismounted, rubbed his hands together, and happily entered the cabin.

The interior of the restaurant is very simple, with a small square table made of birch wood and benches in a circle.

On the square table, a stack of bowls and a pair of bamboo chopsticks are also clean and neat. There is a door on the west side, with a black curtain hanging, and most of the inside should be a room.

An old man curled up on a large wooden bench in the corner, snoring. A cat curled up on a small wooden bench in the corner was purring......

Lao Feng had already sat down one step earlier, holding a large wine bowl around the stove to drink alone. Seeing Ji Kang'er come in, he woke up the sleepy veteran to get something to eat. The old soldier got up in a daze, touched the cat's food bowl, and the old cat scurried up to the beam.

In the room, the man on the horseback said to the veteran: "How many hurtful things does this kid have to do to be 'sent' in this season? However, the origin is really not small, and it was picked up by General Feng himself. ”

The veteran coughed and replied lightly: "Hairy monkey, don't guess, go and do your job honestly!"

Ji Kang'er had sharp ears, heard the conversation between the two people in the room, and thought to himself, my father is really enough to give face to the child, and I am here this season, we are all regarded as lewd thieves.

Lao Feng poured him a bowl of spirits and asked him to drive away the cold. Ji Kang'er was not ambiguous, she drank this bowl of spirits in one go, it was so spicy that she opened her mouth straight, and grinned with a sigh. Lao Feng just didn't hear or see it, and didn't say anything.

The two of them gathered around the stove like this, drinking a little wine with their heads down, in order to get rid of the fatigue of this body.

In Ji Kang'er's eyes, this flame is faint, as if her mother is nagging with her endlessly.

Looking at it, he felt tired, and he made his upper eyelids and lower eyelids fight, and his head was propped up as if he was thinking about it, and after a while, he lay on the wine table and really fell asleep......

Suddenly, as if touched by something, Ji Kang'er was startled with a pair of sleepy eyes, and in the afterglow, a white and smooth hand was lying on his right shoulder for no reason.

Ji Kang'er hurriedly turned her head to see that a woman dressed in a Western style with a low bandeau was shaking in front of her.

This big girl, aren't you afraid of freezing, Ji Kang'er thought to herself.

When the woman saw Ji Kang'er turn her face, she withdrew her hand, turned around, writhed her fat big ass wantonly in front of this young man, paced back to the counter, and shouted in her mouth: "Master, what are you going to eat? I have ...... here."

He opened a pair of eyes wide, and in front of him, in the luxurious restaurant, the two brightly dressed sons and brothers at the next table were eating with their heads down, but Ji Kang'er somehow couldn't see their faces clearly, greeted them, and didn't see a response.

I don't know why, Ji Kang'er was a little confused, didn't she be expelled from the border in her dream when she was dreaming, but in fact, the situation was that she secretly ran to the capital and the red sleeves were recruited to play, and she was about to find Sister Silversleeves to itch each other? !

Just now, the small square table made of birch splicing in the border wine shop has now been replaced by a large pear blossom wood plan, and the pottery bowl has also been replaced by exquisite Jingzhou porcelain.

What's going on here?

Where did Lao Feng die?
