Chapter 456: Walking

Seeing that Qin Ke's eyes began to lose focus again, and he was about to fall into a sluggish state at any time, Cai Yan hurriedly waved his hand and shook it twice in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "But you can't be a fierce arhat, nor is you a kind Bodhisattva, you are just an ordinary person...... When I was a child, my mother told me that a person is born like a cup of water, and no matter how much you pour the teapot into it, the water inside will never overflow the teacup. Maybe some people have bigger teacups, some people have smaller cups, but there will be a limit in the end. If you have to think of yourself as a teacup filled with dissatisfaction, you hope that the tea poured into it will never flow away, and you will suffer from gains and losses...... Then you won't even be able to keep the glass of water you should have. ”

Cai Yan's gray cheeks flushed with a delicate flush, she looked at Qin Ke with a bright face, and said, "Think about the time when we ate sugar gourds and flew kites together, the war ...... It will always pass, and then we can still listen to the drama together, climb the heights, and sleep until three poles in the sun, how good is it?"

Qin Ke looked at Cai Yan and was stunned for a long time, and finally felt a little relieved, and laughed along: "Yes." On freedom and wisdom, I should learn from you. ”

"Then you don't call me a gentleman? Quick, be respectful, flatter, imitate those dog legs of the public loser, flatter me. Cai Yan straightened her back, and she looked funny wrapped in a wide cowhide armor, but she didn't care at all, and even threw a wink.

"I've never seen such an ugly gentleman. Qin Ke stretched out his finger and pointed to his cheek, gesturing, "You better wipe the ashes off your face first." ”

The Mo family cavalry changed horses and traveled nearly eighty miles in one day, this is still because they are afraid of exposing their whereabouts and have been walking on the forest path, if they can gallop on the avenue, they should be able to be faster than expected.

However, at such a speed, the Tang army obviously can't catch up, unless they are desperate and forcibly separate their horses to change to pursuit, but with Abu and Cai Yan's conjecture, the Tang army will definitely not formulate such a strategy under the previous decline.

After all, this is still the territory of the Mo family, and the cavalry under Xiang Chu is less than 20,000, and forcibly separating the war horses will only continue to reduce the number of cavalry.

Qin Ke could go to the counties along the way to make supplies, but the Tang army ...... Who will give them food for nothing?

At night, Qin Ke arranged for everyone to camp at the foot of a mountain. After a day of running on horseback, many people were exhausted, and the wounded were somewhat unable to support themselves.

Maybe if Wang Xuanwei was here, he would ask to run overnight in order to reach Xingzhou as soon as possible, but Qin Ke was not such a ruthless commander, and he couldn't sit back and watch those wounded finally die of exhaustion and illness on the road.

However, in order to march quickly, the cavalry did not carry much baggage, and the strips of cloth and knife wounds for bandaging were also very scarce, and some lightly wounded sergeants could not be treated, so they could only wash their wounds with water mixed with salt from the stream.

However, Qin Ke has lived in Daoxiang Village in the mountains for so many years, and in order to collect medicine for his master, he has read many medical books about herbal medicine, so he naturally knows a lot about the herbs on the mountain.

Cai Yan should be regarded as one of the most positive people about this matter, of course, she thinks this matter is more interesting, jumping along the way, and when she sees a hare, she goes to catch up, but in Qin Ke's eyes, she is the happiest hare.

Qin Ke was also helpless, and he had nothing to say, not to mention that Cai Yan was indeed a good helper.

The eldest lady of this pillar country, although she has not personally gone up the mountain to collect medicinal materials, but she is talented and intelligent, and she can learn it as soon as she learns, plus the medical books she read when she was bored at home, and she also helped many people identify medicinal materials in the back, which is decent.

"Na, do you see, this is Huangjing, a leaf with five forks, just like a human palm, the edge, there are some jagged teeth, it is good to clear heat and detoxify. ”

After Cai Yan finished speaking, several people around her suddenly said, "This grass is all over the mountains and fields in my hometown, and it can still be used as medicine?" Now it's okay, the brothers put on herbs to stop bleeding, and then drink a bowl of this Huangjing water to sleep beautifully, and tomorrow they will be as strong as a cow again." ”

Cai Yan smiled and said, "Mmmm, that...... Who else has to ask questions?"

"I, I, I, Miss Cai, can you see if this is the 'Sanqi' that the general said?"

Cai Yan glanced at it, nodded, but smiled instead, and said: "Sanqi is Sanqi, but you are a leaf, and Sanqi is useful for roots, you have to dig out its roots." ”

"Hmm...... I see. ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they first knew that she was a girl, but slowly, everyone liked this beautiful girl who smiled all day long and had clear eyes.

However, soon they could all see the intimacy between Qin Ke and Cai Yan, so no one dared to make any "shocking" moves.

It's just that they still have doubts in their hearts: Qin Ke is obviously the husband of the noble family owner of the public loser, why is he getting involved with another girl at this time?

Or is it ...... Is this the army maid who acquiesced to Yinxue?

This is probably the only reason that can be explained, although it sounds ridiculous.

At night, although the tents had been erected, there were many people who did not sleep in tents because this time it was a rapid march and did not bring too much baggage.

They made simple beds with thatch and animal skins on the ground, and slept next to each other.

And Qin Ke, as a "general", is naturally qualified to sleep in the tent, although he looked at the soldiers sleeping in the field and felt a little unbearable, but his tent was actually just a small tent for the marching army, even if he gave it to them, it couldn't fit many people, so he didn't have to do that set of "love soldiers like sons, eat and sleep with soldiers".

However, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, everyone seemed to have forgotten to prepare a tent for Cai Yan, or rather, they didn't treat Cai Yan as an independent person at all, but recognized her as Qin Ke's "female dependent", and it was understandable to sleep in a tent with Qin Ke.

"I ...... Go to them and ask for another tent...... Otherwise, I'll go and squeeze with Abu. Qin Ke stood behind Cai Yan and hesitated.

"Forget it. Cai Yan's expression was flat, and she reached out to roast slowly on the bonfire, the warm flame warmed the palms and backs of her hands, "Can you and Abu squeeze into a tent?" I guess you will sleep outside in the end...... In fact, you don't have to think about it, have you forgotten that when we left Ding'an, on the board car, you, Lao Gao, Abu, the four of us, don't we often huddle together. ”

Cai Yan had already taken off her armor, revealing her plain dress inside, and she could clearly see the colorful gold silk inner armor in her dress in the moonlight, and she stretched: "Let's sleep together." ”

Qin Ke was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded, in the end, it is not as usual now, this army is full of men with strong blood, and it is most appropriate for Cai Yan to stay by his side.

God knows what kind of beastly minds those men who have been training in the army all day long, and when they see Cai Yan's back during the day, their eyes are straight, their faces are red, and their necks are thick...... On such a night, he didn't dare to let Cai Yan leave his sight.

"Ahem, then I'll go in first. Qin Ke said and got into the tent, a layer of thatch was spread under the animal skin cushion, which was very soft, and the felt cloth supported on all sides blocked the cool breeze at night, and there was a wonderful warmth in the tent.

With his current cultivation, he is indeed not afraid of the cold, but somehow he shivered a little in such a warm tent, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

He didn't know what he was afraid of.

In less than a moment, Cai Yan came in, and the two glanced at each other.

Cai Yan's expression was very calm, and when she lay down, it was as light as a feather, and the two of them were very close, although they closed their eyes, they could feel each other's breathing.

In the dark, Qin Ke suddenly heard Cai Yan say, "When you slept with Gongyi Yinxue, was it the same?"

Qin Ke was excited, and suddenly felt like a mang on his back, and said, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Just curious...... Cai Yan said, "Have you ever hugged her?"
