Zongque pressed one of his feet, then replaced it with the other one. Young Master Yue's fingertips tightened slightly, but his whole body felt a lot more relaxed.

When Zongque put down his other foot, Young Master Yue retracted his leg and said, "Thank you very much."

"Spread your legs." Zongque said, watching his actions.

Young Master Yue was confused for a moment and said: "You also need to press your legs?"

"The trembling legs are caused by excessive fatigue. You will have a better rest if you relax." Zongque said expressionlessly.

Young Master Yue stretched out his leg and let the hands pinch the texture of his calf. An extremely sore feeling came, which made him frown slightly: "Easy, be gentle."

"It will be effective if you relax it enough." Zongque raised his eyes and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just bite the corner of your clothes."

His words were merciless, and his hands were merciless. Young Master Yue clenched the corner of his clothes tightly, and finally put a piece of it into his mouth before he could barely hold back the sore feeling.

His eyes fell on the serious expression of the man in front of him, and he sighed and relaxed his body.

After pressing his legs together, Zongque stood up, placed the pair of shoes in front of him, and then left the cave.

The sound of water being poured was particularly clear in the middle of the night. Gongzi Yue slowly retracted his legs. He thought the pain would be unbearable, but he found that he felt much more relaxed and relaxed.

After putting on his shoes, Young Master Yue looked at the stars in the cave above his head, leaned against the wall of the cave and slowly closed his eyes, hoping to see people tomorrow.

When Zongque washed his hands and came in, what he saw was a very heavy man sleeping against the wall. His legs were no longer kneeling as before, but stretched out, even though his head was gently bumping on the stone wall because he was asleep.

Even though I was sleeping, I didn’t wake up from a deep sleep.

After walking for a day, I was very frightened. For this noble young master, it was already the limit for him to be able to persist up to this point.

Zongque brought a stone slab and moved the fire on one side, revealing the extremely dry ground that had been baked. He swept the hay and made sure that there were no sparks on the ground before spreading the thick hay on it.

The heat from the ground continued to spread through the hay. Zongque walked to the sleeping person, grabbed his waist and picked him up. He placed him on the hay and untied his robe before slowly laying him down.

Covered by the outer robe, the sleeping person relaxed his body more and more, and his breathing became a little deeper.

Zongque threw some dead wood into the fire, leaned against the cave wall and closed his eyes, feeling sleepy.

The warm wind blew through the night, and amid the chirping of birds, only a few smoldering ashes were left in the fire at the entrance of the cave. Young Master Yue frowned slightly and tightened his robe, but even with his legs curled up, he still felt cold.

It is constantly seeping from above.

He opened his eyes and looked around blankly. He stood up from the hay and picked up his coat. When he saw the haystack under him, he also saw the man sleeping quietly against the stone wall beside him.

I don’t know how he fell asleep last night, but he definitely didn’t sleep here. Did Que move him to this place?

Young Master Yue stood up. The unbearable pain in his legs that had been shaking yesterday was gone. He picked up his robe and walked towards the figure leaning there. When he was about to cover it, he met the other person's eyes that suddenly opened.

Their eyes met for a moment, but there was no hint of sleepiness in those dark eyes, but instead they were full of alertness.

Young Master Yue gathered up his outer robe and said, "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"

"It's time to get up." Zongque looked at the man carrying the outer robe and his guarded eyes faded. He tried to prop himself up on the ground, but he stretched his legs and frowned.

Young Master Yue looked at his movements of pressing his legs, put on his outer robe and squatted down and asked, "Are your legs numb?"

Zongque's men didn't stop moving and raised their eyes to look at him: "Yes."

"Actually, you can sleep together last night." Gongziyue said.

Although he felt cold in the morning, he slept more soundly than ever that night.

"It's easy to fall asleep too deeply when you lie down. Someone needs to keep watch." Zongque pressed the numbness, got up and walked to the fire that was about to be extinguished. He added some hay and lit it, and stuffed a few chestnuts into the gap.

Went to the mountain stream.

Young Master Yue looked at his actions, was startled for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."

The two of them were supposed to take turns keeping watch, but he slept deeply, and Zongque was the only one who had to do the hard work.

"Nothing." Zongque washed his face and woke up. He wiped the water from his face and said to the person next to him, "Hurry up and wash up. We will be on our way soon."

Young Master Yue didn't see the slightest hint of blame on his face. He lifted up his clothes and squatted beside the clear spring in the mountain stream. He saw the hay stained on the top of his head and hair. The clear water washed over his cheeks. He looked at the spring water to remove the hay from his hair one by one.

But the hair tie on the head was untied, and the debris still fell down.

Gongzi Yue sighed slightly, but he just combed it with his hands and tied it up again.

The chestnuts were roasted again, still with a sweet aroma, but with a somewhat dry and hard feeling. Zongque's face did not change when he ate them. Gongziyue ate a few, and his throat was dry and difficult to swallow. He drank a lot of water to relieve the feeling.

Dry.

Zongque wet the fire with the remaining chestnut parcels just like yesterday, but he had no way to deal with the hay, and traces of people's presence could be seen no matter what.

"Let's go." Zongque identified the direction and stepped on the rocks of the mountain stream.

Young Master Yue did not say a word, but followed with his halberd. Yesterday it was a jungle, today it is a mountain stream. The terrain is getting steeper and the mountain road is becoming more and more difficult to walk. When he encounters a steep terrain, it is difficult for him to step up even if he lifts his clothes and legs.

"Come on." Zongque stretched out his hand towards the man who had nowhere to lift his clothes.

Young Master Yue handed over the halberd, and Zongque grabbed the other end and pulled him up. However, even so, he stepped on the hem of his clothes when he landed and almost stumbled.

"Sorry." Young Master Yue also knew that he was holding him back, "Why don't you take off the hem of your clothes."

"Throwing it around will leave traces." Zongque looked at his rather long clothes, stretched out his hand to lift them all up, and inserted them into his belt, "It will be much easier to walk this way."

This method is convenient, but the obscene pants are directly exposed. Gongziyue looked at the hem of clothes around his waist and hesitated to speak. He was slightly discouraged and followed him.

He sighed more in the past two days than in the previous year combined.

The mountain stream was difficult to navigate, and Zongque was always needed to pull him. When he got to the place where he could rest and breathe, Zongque peeled chestnuts to wrap his belly. Gongziyue just glanced down at the mountain stream where the gravel was falling, and felt dizzy. He only ate a few chestnuts.

I lost my appetite for chestnuts.

"How long do we have to go?" Gongziyue asked.

"Another hour." Zongque said, taking water with his hand to quench his thirst, "Have you rested yet?"

"An hour?" Gongziyue asked.

Zongque thought for a moment and said, "Half an hour."

Young Master Yue followed up: "Why do you say an hour is half an hour?"

"Some places divide a day into 24 hours, which is more accurate," Zongque said.

"I see, Que is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable." Young Master Yue praised.

Standing up again, after crossing the mountain stream, the slope is not very high. In the jungle, you can see the faint villages. Because it is still dinner time, you can still see the smoke rising in the distance from the hillside.

"Finally we saw the smoke." Gongziyue breathed a little heavier when he saw the smoke, and there was a touch of joy that was difficult to conceal in his eyes.

Even if he was sleeping in the open air, he would always be frightened when he was in the jungle. Some bugs would crawl out from the cracks, or some wild beasts would hide in the grass. Even though there was no obvious odor on his body, Gongziyue could no longer stand himself.

"We'll go there in the evening." Zongque said, looking at the village in the distance.

"Why?" Young Master Yue asked.

Zongque looked at his gorgeous clothes. Although it was damaged everywhere, it was silk that only nobles from all over the world could wear. Even officials could not wear it easily: "The clothes are too eye-catching."

Young Master Yue looked at the clothes on his body and said, "You will see it even if you go at night."

"No." Zongque said.

"Then let's wait here first." Young Master Yue decided to listen to his opinion, put down his clothes and sat on the floor.

The jungle here is still dense, and even if there is sunshine, it is very cool. Zongque looked around, listened to the sound, and searched for places with deep grass. He blocked a cave entrance with a stone. In Young Master Yue's surprised eyes,

I pulled out a rabbit that was kicking its legs from the grass.

The rabbit was very big and long. Because it was held up by its ears and its teeth were constantly polished, it looked quite fierce, completely different from the little rabbits raised by ladies.

"Should we eat it tonight?" Gongziyue asked.

"No." Zongque held down the struggling rabbit on the ground, took out a dagger and cut its throat.

Blood flowed out, and the rabbit that was struggling to bite instantly became silent, but its legs would still twitch twice.

Gongziyue paused in his words. Seeing the man stuffing his wounds with grass and tying up his limbs, he felt a slight sweat on his back: "What are you going to use it for?"

"Change something." Zongque looked at the setting sun, hung the tied rabbit on his halberd and stood up, saying, "It's time to go, it will get dark soon."

"Okay." Gongziyue followed.

The smoke they saw before was not far away, but it took them a long time to walk down the hillside. By the time they saw the smoke from the house in front of them, the sky was completely dark.

The road was uneven, and both of them walked one step deeper than the other. You could still smell the smell of animal feces along the road. Occasionally, you would step on something soft. It didn't matter to Zongque, but Gongziyue could smell the smell of grass.

The smell makes me have a headache.

"What is this?" Gongziyue asked when he could barely see the black shadow on the sole of the shoe.

"It should be cow dung." Zongque looked back and said.

Young Master Yue paused when he heard the words, and rubbed himself on the ground next to him, almost fainting: "How can feces be sprinkled on the road?"

"The village has no roads." Zongque watched his movements and waited quietly.

This era is no better than the era he lived in. Even the villages are in order and the roads are smooth. The villages in this era are more like what he saw when he was a child. People gather together and places where they have walked a lot become roads, whether they are shepherding sheep.

They all take the same road when grazing cattle, but when it rains, the road made of dirt will become soft, leaving deep and shallow pits. After it dries out, it will only become more bumpy, and then it will be slowly smoothed by people.

"How do you walk and drive on a daily basis?" Gongziyue asked.
