Chapter 396: Goodbye Northern Cold Ice and Snow
The farther north Hanzhou goes, the deeper the cold becomes.
Ten days later, even though they were martial cultivators, they couldn't withstand the frost and cold.
Eleven is the body of extreme yin, and she is a woman who is biased towards ghost cultivation, she can also carry eight points of this cold, and it is better to prepare a warm coat in her baggage, which was bought by the merchant prisoner in the past, which is worth a lot of money, and the warmth effect is excellent.
"Brother Shi, why don't we squeeze the two of you? ”
"Yes, it doesn't seem to be cheap, and it's very warm. ”
"To tell you the truth, this dress is sold in my family's clothing shop, and it costs thousands of taels of silver for a piece...... I can't see that Little Brother Shi is still a rich man. ”
......
Who called Eleven to be beautiful and beautiful, in the past ten days, a group of men came to tease her when she had something to do, she made a few jokes when she was happy, and ignored it when she was unhappy.
The birds fluttered their wings above the clouds, rising and falling, and although the sun was shining directly, the cold snap below was rising vigorously, so cold that Eleven was no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
If it weren't for the fact that she was fighting alongside the person she loved, why would she come to suffer this torture?
At this time, a bird that passed the message landed on Xu Zhi's arm leisurely, it must be some news from the front line, you must know that you took off the creed and skimmed your eyes, nodded, looked back and pulled your throat, and used internal force to inform the eight hundred warriors behind you:
"I just got good news, the front-line troops have settled with the barbarians, and they have begun to climb over the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains one after another, we can land in advance, and the soldiers in the rear and other realms will meet and ...... In other words, soon we will be able to drink wine, eat meat, and take hot baths!"
The big guys cheered, and they flew at high altitude for ten days, not to mention that they drank wine and ate meat, and they were comfortable to sleep on the ground.
"Chief Xu, what is after the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain?" someone asked.
Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "After the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain, it is the realm of the barbarians, and I haven't been there for so many years as a soldier......"
Someone said: "The country of barbarians, isn't that just animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, what hope can there be? It is estimated that there is not even a place to play women." ”
Someone else accosted: "You dare to play barbarian women, all of them are like wolves and tigers, I'm afraid that if you sleep with them tonight, you won't be able to hold the knife, and you will still fight!"
"Hehe, that's ...... too"
......
"Everyone, pay attention, we are going to run down the clouds, there may be strong air currents and thunder and lightning, hold on to the feathers!"
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he made a downward gesture to the flying bird, and then used his mind qi to prop up a protective barrier, and swooped down with the flying bird.
Under the clouds, there will be "wind, fire, thunder and lightning" and other heavenly four elephants, the northern cold geographical location is special, in addition to the most common heavenly four elephants, frost, snow, and even hail.
"Hiss ......"
The cyan thunder silk fermented in the clouds, and it seemed to have been waiting for everyone for a long time, when it saw the birds rushing down, "Boom!" A thunderbolt smashed on the mental qi enchantment held up by Xu Zhi.
Thunderball, rendering the blue sky!
Everyone is a new recruit who has just entered the battlefield, and no one has seen the thunder so closely, and people have a natural fear of the thunder, and the most afraid is to be struck by the thunder!
The Nian Qi Enchantment continued to tremble, the frequency of the bird's wings was disrupted, and the person on the bird's back naturally also had some bumps!
The crowd was in an uproar, and even screamed in shock!
"Don't panic, everyone, it's just an ordinary lightning strike, and it can't penetrate my barrier. ”
While Xu Zhi comforted everyone, he blessed his thoughts more thickly, and the speed of the flying bird swooping was also a few points faster.
Ben Lei found trouble with everyone a few more times, but as the height slowly decreased, Thunder gradually regained his anger.
"Snow!"
Eleven exclaimed.
The thunder vanished, and snow and cold winds followed.
Xu Zhi accepted the Nian Qi Enchantment, and said with a smile: "Huh...... Being able to feel the wind and snow proves that we are safe, except for a little, cold, hehe......"
The wind and snow of the northern cold can kill.
Eleven stretched out her hand to take a piece, but the snow fell into her palm, as if she had been cut by someone, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and trembled: "It's so good!"
Xu Zhi smiled at everyone again, and said: "No matter how patient everyone is, we must also learn to be patient, this is not under the 10,000-year-old snow mountain, in the north, the snow is more fresh, and the wind is colder." But don't worry, you'll be well equipped to protect yourself from the cold. ”
Eleven muttered quietly, "No wonder the prisoner's skin is so dark," and she caressed her already dry pretty face worriedly: "Then won't I also turn black?" She began to be annoyed: "It's all because I was in too much of a hurry, and I forgot to steal a few of Yu girl's skin cream, alas......"
Jumping off the clouds, the birds began to fly at low altitude, and the vast mountains and rivers of ice and snow were clearly visible.
Xu Zhi saw that the flight was stable, so he sat down next to Eleven, took out a water bag and poured two sips, and then asked:
"Little Brother Shi, what are you muttering with your mouth?"
Eleven subconsciously moved his body away a little, and made up a sentence at random: "I...... Homesick. ”
Xu Zhi unceremoniously put his arm around Eleven's shoulders and said with a big grin: "Country, country, there is no country where there will be a home, the old man is protecting his family when he defends the motherland!"
Eleven secretly rolled her eyes, although Xu Zhi was out of comradeship, she still felt uncomfortable.
"By the way, Brother Shi, where are you from? Xu Zhi picked up a corner of the robe on Eleven's body and asked while stroking it.
Eleven said truthfully: "I am from Liangcheng. ”
"Liangcheng people?" Xu Zhi was a little puzzled, and said: "Although I am not from Liangcheng, I often have to go to Liangcheng to catch the market, not to mention how familiar I am, I also know a general idea, it seems that I have never heard of a big merchant with the surname Shi?"
Eleven rolled his eyes and said, "Our Shi family is just a small business, and we don't have any reputation in Liangcheng, of course you don't know." ”
"Oh, I see...... Xu Zhi licked his lips and took another sip of wine before he said, "That'...... How many sisters does Brother Shi have?"
Eleven frowned and said, "Dare you to check my family's background, right?"
Xu Zhi scratched his head and said with a smile: "No, no, I just want to ask if you have a sister, you said that you were born so good-looking, how beautiful is your sister?
Eleven raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was such a game of chess. He also seemed to shy away: "Yes, I also have several sisters in the boudoir, each of whom has the face of a sinking fish and a goose and a shy flower, just that."
"Just what?"
Not only Xu Zhixi listened, but the whole man on the back of the bird came close to listen to it.
Eleven raised his small chin and said proudly: "It's just that my father said that if you want to marry my sister, you must have more than four grades of court officials or hundreds of thousands of assets in the family, and other conditions are not mentioned for the time being, do you weigh them?"
The men on the back of the bird shook their heads when they heard this, and they all complained a few words at most, but they didn't do it.
Xu Zhi patted his chest and said: "I! Although I only have six grades now, if this battle can be defeated, I will not only defend the family and the country, but also make meritorious contributions, and I am confident that I can be a fourth-rank lieutenant!"
He suddenly smiled again: "Well, the premise is that I have to survive." ”
Eleven dozen admired these officers with true temperament in their hearts, their brains were not good, and they were not afraid of death, and they didn't know who taught them...... She nodded and promised, "Okay! As long as you can survive this battle, I will choose a sister of my own to be your daughter-in-law!"
There are so many good girls in Feixue Inn, Xu Zhi looks at his face and personality, and his personality is not bad, there are always one or two who will look at him, be a favor, and he can also receive a matchmaker big red envelope, why not?
......
Half an hour later, the bird landed smoothly in the transit station.
The station was a huge forage field, three of which became civil construction and seven of which became makeshift tents. The geographical location of the Northern Cold is very difficult, and low-level birds and beasts cannot travel for a long time, so they must be stopped and transferred by the transfer station.
Xu Zhi said that in the past, when Zhenwu confronted the barbarians, the base camp was located at the foot of the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain, and this place was used as a place to hoard materials for war readiness.
A tent could accommodate a hundred people, each with a bunk, not very spaced but independent, and the pillows and bedding were not very new, but they were cleanly washed. There were three large stoves in front of and behind the military tent, and the stoves continued to heat up, and the military tent burned very warm.
Eleven sat melancholy on the bed she had been assigned, she knew that in this place, at this time, it was already very good to have such a clean and tidy bed, but she was used to living in the Beique Zhu Palace, and she couldn't get cold on these hard beds.
Not to mention living with a group of men.
It was very warm in the military tent, and the men did not shy away from each other, and they all took off their shirts and exposed their upper bodies.
True martial arts men are strong and sturdy, and those who can be selected to join the army are even more ...... Eleven saw stout men walking in front of him, and the reserved woman couldn't help but blush.
The more Eleven looked at it, the more he felt sorry for the prisoner, so he simply threw himself on the bed, pulled the futon and couldn't bear to say goodbye.
"Shi Yi, hurry up!"
While Xu Zhi shouted, he slapped Eleven's buttocks, of course, he did it unintentionally: "Yo!
Eleven was so startled that she immediately jumped up from the bed, she glared at Xu Zhi viciously, revealing a murderous look: "What are you doing!"
Xu Zhi swallowed his saliva, first intimidated by Eleven's momentum, he hurriedly withdrew his palm, bared his teeth with a smile, turned around and touched a set of military uniforms, and handed it to Eleven: "Look, this is the equipment I found based on your body, take a look?"
There are two types of equipment, a set of blue-black armor and a transparent mask to protect against the cold wind.
The armor was stacked up to a foot high, and it was still the smallest, Eleven squeezed his eyebrows, and said in disgust: "Can I wear this?" I see that this suit of armor is heavier than my own, how can I move when I wear it?"
Xu Zhi dragged up the whole set of equipment with one hand, he weighed it a few times in front of Eleven, and said: "It's a little heavier, but it can protect against the enemy and the cold." In the past, in Liangcheng, you didn't have a lot of strength when you fought with me? ”
Eleven sighed: "Let's try it later." She took the armor by hand, weighed it a few times, and could accept the weight, and she put the equipment on the head of her bed.
Xu Zhi said: "Wear it quickly, I'll see if it fits, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it with you." ”
Eleven shook her head resolutely, where could she change her clothes in front of so many people, and said, "It's okay, I look like it fits well, I don't need to wear it......"
Xu Zhizhi laughed twice and asked, "Are you afraid of taking off your clothes?"
When the other soldiers heard that Eleven was going to change their clothes, they gathered over one after another, crossed their waists, hugged their shoulders, and all showed a look of expectation.
"Brother Shi, don't be ashamed, everyone is a man, take a look. ”
"Don't say it, people may take it out and be bigger than you, I'm afraid you've heard of the words 'people are small and turtles are big'!"
"It's over, it's over, I feel like I'm going to be sorry for my mother-in-law, I actually have a bad idea of a man,!"
......
It turns out that when a person is too beautiful, it doesn't matter much whether he is male or female.
No matter how Eleven dresses up, she is still a woman, and the peculiar smell exuded by women is always the best medicine to seduce men.
Eleven suddenly regretted her claim, and she thought to herself: If she let the merchant prisoner know in the future, she lived under the eaves of so many men...... That must be very bad.
"Okay, okay, you guys are joking with others again, what's wrong with being delicate and beautiful? Poor and sour boys, who have never seen the world! Which son of a rich and noble family is not born with fine skin and tender meat, and people have been reading poetry and books since they were young, and have a good education, where can they be as rude as you!"
Xu Zhi blushed, proving that he was angry, and he pointed to a bunch of soldiers who were watching the excitement naked, and said: "Give Lao Tzu clothes on the boat within ten breaths, and if you don't do it, all of them will be given to Lao Tzu to run outside shirtless for two hours, and when you have cultivated the ability to resist the cold! After saying this, there are still three breaths of kung fu, you should hurry up." ”
Where did the soldiers dare to anger the officers?
But there were only three breaths left, except for a few soldiers near the bed who barely put on their clothes, and the rest didn't even find their clothes.
Xu Zhi pointed to the door and said in a cold voice: "If you are still naked, put on a cold mask, protect your eyes, get out, and come back in two hours." ”
Eleven hurriedly persuaded: "I think it's better to forget it, it's so cold outside, and you don't have any clothes, isn't this torturous......"
"Torture?" Xu Zhi smiled disdainfully, "If you really go to the battlefield, you will fight for life and death in the face of monsters with sharp claws and fangs!
He pointed to a group of soldiers who were blocking the door, vainly trying to get intercession from eleven mouths, and said sharply: "I count from now on, stay a little longer, and add an hour!"
Where dare the soldiers delay, no matter how big the wind and snow are, they have to drill out, and the tenth person disappeared without a trace.
"Recruits just don't have a lesson. ”
Xu Zhi snorted lightly, and when he turned his head, he found that Eleven had put on his armor neatly.
"Boy, are you fast enough, why don't you put on a warm suit?" Xu Zhi said, pointing to the gray-brown undershirt at the head of the bed.
A set of armor is divided into three parts, underwear, inner armor, and armor. Underwear to keep out the cold, inner armor to protect the body, armor to protect the body, with these three layers of protection, at least you won't die so quickly on the battlefield.
Eleven shook his head and said, "I'm wearing thermal underwear, so it's out of the way." ”
Xu Zhi smiled: "Yes, this warm coat is not too good, Brother Shi's family is so rich, he must be fully prepared." ”
In fact, in order to settle the two proud peaks on his chest, Eleven endured the pain and strangled at least three shapewear, and its warmth effect must not be worse than that of warm clothes to join the army in order to become a man, which can be regarded as "full preparation".
"It fits perfectly," Eleven turned around, and finally pointed to a place on his chest armor, puzzled, "But why is there a thin mark here?"
Xu Zhidao: "This is a knife mark?"
"Knife marks?" Eleven wondered.
Xu Zhi nodded, sighed lightly, and said with emotion: "The previous owner of this armor was a teenager, so his figure was so consistent with you, but it's a pity that he died in battle the last time he fought against the barbarians, and the barbarian slashed his chest." ”
Eleven looked a little regretful, she stroked the knife marks on the armor, it seemed that the appearance of the young man when he died had a picture in her mind, the hero came out of the boy, but it was a pity for the boy.
Xu Zhi said again: "I know that Brother Shi is the son of a rich family, but if you choose to join the army, you must face cruelty. When the armor is rotten, we will repair it and redistribute it, and when people die, we will reassemble the soldiers to continue the battle," he said, pointing to the bed behind Eleven, "I don't know how many of the people who have been lying on this bed have died." ”
Eleven struggled inwardly, she must have no regrets, originally to find her husband, but now she was suddenly swayed by a sense of mission.
Xu Zhi patted Eleven's shoulder and threatened with a smile: "Although you are retreating in your heart, you can't think about going home, otherwise we will deal with it as a deserter." ”
"Okay! You have this confidence, go to the battlefield to ensure that your son can live!haha......"
Xu Zhi crossed his waist and laughed a few times, hooked his shoulders and greeted Eleven: "Let's go, I've been on the road for more than ten days, take a hot bath, and have a good rest!"
Eleven's eyes lit up, she really wanted to take a hot bath, she really wanted to. He asked, "Can I get more hot water?"
Xu Zhi pointed to a red-hot stove at the door of the military tent and said: "Look, there is a hook on the stove, and then we will go and get an iron bucket, go outside to dig a piece of ice and snow, and put it on it for a quarter of an hour at most, and the snow can be boiled into hot water, and then go to the bathhouse to take a 'mandarin duck bath'......!"
"Bath...... Bathhouse?"
Eleven immediately paused, shook his head like a rattle, and said as he stepped back, "I...... I'm not going, so you'd better go by yourself. ”
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhi picked at his head, looking dazed.
Eleven didn't give much more reason, fell on the bed and pulled the quilt, and only said: "I'm a little sleepy and want to rest, don't bother me." ”
Xu Zhi couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't help it, shrugged his shoulders, and sighed: "Alas...... Then you can rest first, and I'll call you later when the meal is served. ”
Eleven replied softly, "Hmm." ”
Xu Zhi scratched his head and walked out of the military tent.
......
