The horse's hooves returned, and they rode in the red dust, and then they rode a few horses, and the horses' hooves returned, and the dust was flying......

Time, like this dust, gradually falls, returns to dust, and the shouting has passed, as if everything has passed, including the team of people and horses, and the eyes of people who remember it. Only the mud on the flowers and plants on the roadside tells people that it is not over yet.

A year ago or two years ago? Fan Li seemed to be blurred, but fortunately, what he blurred was only the passage of time rather than the change of memory.

"General, slow down, we can't catch up with you. The young man's panting voice drifted through his ears like a gust of wind, and he couldn't help laughing teasingly, that boy, it has become impossible to keep up with me on horseback, why should he be a guard?

The glow was overflowing, and the reflected light of the general's white armor illuminated the young man's face, which was a handsome young man, with a goose egg face, eyes like a pool of clear water, and white and ruddy skin. He gasped for air and pursed his lips in embarrassment, "You're too fast, General. ”

"Phew. The general stopped the horse and looked behind him, a smile on his lips that was not easy for others to spot. In order to temper the soldiers' physical strength and perseverance, the general and the soldiers ran non-stop for several days, and now that the general is running ahead, how dare the other soldiers slack off in the slightest? Although none of them can match his speed, he is satisfied, for three days, he has only rested a few times in the middle of the day and night, but not a single soldier has cried out that he is tired and bitter.

"The general is really powerful, he has been running for a few days in the lead, and his energy is still so vigorous, he is ashamed of himself. An older lieutenant dismounted with great difficulty, wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and said breathlessly.

"Of course. The boy replied cheerfully, without concealing his pride and pride, and with an exaggerated thumbs up, he shook the general and his lieutenant, and then took the reins from the general's hand and led his horse to the river.

"Think about it, there are only 3,000 soldiers in total, if you don't train to be elite soldiers, then where is the hope of recovering the country?" the general sighed, "Do you know how these 3,000 soldiers are hard-won, how dare I slack off." ”

"Yes. I don't know who chimed in.

"With the general, we are really fortunate to have three lives. Adjutant General Li Fei said, jumping off the horse quickly, leading the horse and trotting all the way to the river. The general understood that Li Fei was actually very tired, but he didn't want the general to see it, he was changing his way to comfort the general, the general felt very useful, he didn't know what to say for a while, he just nodded, his eyes moved with Li Fei's figure, and finally looked at the dimming sunset on the horizon, as if he was thinking about something.

One after another, the soldiers dismounted, and the thick dust was once again kicked up, choking one of the horses with a loud sneeze, and then the horse rattled again, and the soldiers who heard it burst into laughter, and the laugh made the fellow named "Tired" run away.

The sun was setting, and the red fireball hung in the sky for a while, and then slowly disappeared, and on the horizon, a few clouds refused to return, but the first quarter moon was already in the sky, like a curved white jade.

When the soldiers finished drinking, they didn't know whether to go or stay, so they had to walk slowly along the zigzag riverbed, waiting for the general's order. The general, however, seems to have forgotten their existence and is just looking around. The river is green and bottomless, but the small pebbles on the riverside are faintly visible. On the slope of the river embankment, there are small grasses of different shades, and occasionally there are various small flowers probing their brains in it, as if they are playing hide and seek with the grass. The general's heart was moved, so he dismounted and went to the river, and walked along the river, and the boy immediately followed.

"Ramie Mountain is really a false name, where there is a mountain. The young man listened to the general's introduction and pouted.

"Indeed, the slope of the mountain is open, and after it is extended to the edge of the Huanjiang River, it is even more of a buffer, which can only be regarded as a slope, called a mountain, probably because the people here yearn for the mountain. The general lost his interest in the mountains and rivers for an instant, and said to the young man, "Pony, tell me to go down, let the horse drink and rest for a while, and go back to the wing." He walked back quickly, and the pony trotted to catch up with him, and the general jumped on his horse, and hurried away, and the boy was caught off guard, and was left far behind by the general.

Fan Li has a strict personality, usually talks and laughs less, but is not serious, and sometimes childish, such as the way he gets along with his guard pony, which often makes people feel incredible. Pony because of thin and thin, often in the crowd of people without a top Fan Li, he because he can't find him and angry, often say that if you find him, he must pack up and get out. People knew that he was duplicitous, so a large group of people helped him find a guard. According to common sense, the guards, as retinues, are to protect the personal safety of the general, which has been specifically mentioned in the literature. What about him, laughing, man, if his life is full of politics, then what fun does he have? A person, without fun, I can't think of any point in his life. said that Wen Chong was stunned for a while, and others thought that there was something wrong with Wen Chong's neck. What's even more interesting is that he sometimes deliberately rides the adjutant's horse, and does not say hello, he does it just to test how the adjutant will treat the matter, but also to see if he is the fastest runner, whether the horse is better or the man is more skillful. Sometimes on a whim, he must cook a few small dishes and invite three or five friends to dinner, of course, literature is indispensable. As soon as he drank high, he would definitely dance, and his white robes and white armor glittered in the sun, dazzling the soldiers in elation at the same time

The motor slowed down, and soon it became even slower.

He thought it strange and looked around, but he couldn't see anything special here, except that the bushes by the roadside grew much more luxuriant than in other places. "Since you don't want to go, then I'll just let you take me with you. He patted the horse on the head, as if he had said to an old friend of many years: "You know, this is called believing in the horse." ”

The horse seemed to understand his words, and walked on slowly, and the sky gradually darkened, and everything in the distance was blurred, so blurred that it was impossible to see the way. The general thought that if he and the horse were both lost, how interesting would it be, and that many stories might happen when they got lost? He suddenly remembered that even if he was lost, he should take the boy with him, and let him be so anxious that he would turn around like a headless fly, and the general felt a little uncomfortable. It's just that if the boy had been by his side, he would have already lit a torch and been by his side, illuminating his way.

There was a faint light ahead, and he understood why the horse had slowed down, and he let the horse go forward, and the horse seemed to understand his thoughts, and unhurriedly led him to a yarn drying field. In curiosity, he tied the horse to a tree outside the field, followed the gap of the bamboo pole where the yarn was dried, and walked in, the field was larger, due to the rainy days, this rare sun made them spare no effort to make use of it, the yarn on the field was fluttering, it was a maze, and people could hardly find the exit. He stood there, looking around, amazed.

When an old woman saw that he was wearing armor and had an extraordinary bearing, she was also curious, thinking that this person must be a general, how did he come here. The old lady looked him up and down again, and spoke, "What is the general doing here?" ”

"I got lost, and I happened to be here, so I came in and had a look. ”

"Is the general Huan through the yarn?"

"Huanguo, I'm also from a civilian background. ”

As they spoke, several young girls gathered around them, and at first they were a little embarrassed to peep at him, but there were so many people that they shyly pushed me and squeezed me, and then talked about him boldly.

"I've never seen this armor up close. ”

"Me too. ”

"My father had fought in wars before and knew the benefits of it, and my father said that his biggest dream when he was young was to have a suit of armor. ”

"Where would a soldier be, but he really looks good in this. ”

"Good looking is to describe a girl. Whoever sneered.

The general didn't seem to care about their conversation, he smiled generously, and said, "If you wish, you can come up and touch it and see how it differs from your yarn." ”

The girls blushed, but the grandmother touched it, "It's so heavy." The old lady exclaimed complimentally, in fact, she wanted other girls to follow her example, but where is there such a bold and presumptuous girl?" "The general is lost, where to go, I know the way here." ”

"Heh, it's okay, someone will come looking for me later, they will definitely find it, I'll wait for them here. He reached out and touched the yarn that was almost dry, "This yarn is so good." ”

The old grandmother smiled, "The general is very knowledgeable, which means that he was really born as a civilian." Without praising the general, we can say without praise that the texture of our ramie in Lai Luo Mountain is the first, and coupled with our rinsing technology, it is naturally amazing. She pointed to the growing number of girls around her, "These children are not only beautiful, but also ingenious. ”

He took a serious look at the girls and said something inexplicable, "Huansha, for girls, it's not easy." ”

"Yes, I'm going to work late today. There is no way, we are farmers, and if we want to live, we can only find land to beg for food. The old woman yawned tiredly, "The general is on his own." So she took the girls and worked nervously.

The general listened idly to the girls' chat.

"It's a pity that Xi Shi is missing, she is a famous beauty in our area, we are still beautiful and attractive, compared with her, she is the phoenix in the flock, and her yarn is also one of the best in our area. "The girls stopped giggling and were suddenly confused.

"Heh, Shih Tzu is missing?" the general was also stunned, and approached and asked, "Has no one been looking for her?"

"No, she left a note for her parents, saying that she didn't need to look for it, she would come back. Does the general also know about Shih Tzu?"

"Who doesn't know Shih Tzu. ”

The general smiled, walked out of the raccoon yarn field, and blended into the night. Hear the sound of horses' hooves, from far and near......
