The thirty-third chapter desperate mandarin ducks (1)
Seeing the Han army disguised as a Wuhuan captain escaping with a woman, the Wuzi soldiers felt that the opportunity to make a great contribution had come, so they chased after them regardless, and even chased them across the stone slope. Just as the five of them were running, they felt
Something is wrong, why is there only one woman on the other side? Where is the other soldier pretending to be a centurion of Wuhuan?
"ah!"
A scream came out, and the Wuzi soldiers turned around and were frightened to death. Only two of the five men were left, and the remaining three were actually hunted down one by one by the Han army behind them.
The tenth captain of Nawuzi pushed the soldier in front of him and said: "You go up."
The Wuzi soldier rushed up with his eyes closed. Zhang Xiaowu dodged and wiped his neck with a knife. The Wuzi soldier yelled and threw the sword in his hand, turned around and ran away quickly. Zhang Xiaowu was dumbfounded, and he was moaning.
The short black Inu Yi was really fast when he ran for his life, much faster than when he was chasing him. Could it be that Inu Yi judged his military rank based on his running speed? But if he hadn't been fighting all night, he would definitely be able to catch up, and then he could make this guy escape.
After Captain Wuzi escaped, Zhang Xiaowu was finally able to breathe. He put his hands on his knees and gasped for air. Looking from a distance, he saw the little bride squatting in the distance and looking at her, as if she was also panting. The two looked at each other and laughed.
Yin Jiuer was not afraid of the deep battlefield, nor was he afraid of Zhang Xiaowu killing four people in a row.
Zhang Xiaowu looked for something useful on the four corpses on the ground, but all they had on them was the Uzi rapier. The Uzi rapier was thinner than the short sword in his hand, which was suitable for the short and thin Uzi people.
The figure was not suitable for use by the Han army. Zhang Xiaowu was unlucky and did not have a morsel of food. Fortunately, he found a water bag from a corpse, so he took off a few pieces of their clothes, tied them up, and walked to the bride carrying their luggage.
around.
Yin Jiuer stared at Zhang Xiaowu with admiration for a while, then jumped excitedly and said: "You are indeed a general."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid Jiu'er? I just killed someone."
Yin Jiuer said: "Of course I'm not afraid. What you killed was a dog barbarian, a bad guy."
"So you're not afraid?"
"Yes, I'm used to seeing dead people and I'm not afraid anymore."
Zhang Xiaowu felt pity in his heart. He looked at this little girl, who was as old as a flower but suffered as miserable as an iceberg. He said with compassion: "Let's go."
Yin Jiuer asked: "Brother Xiao Wu, why are you stripping off their clothes?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't know how long I will be fleeing here. It's cold at night. Use these clothes to avoid the cold."
Spring is long in the grassland and summer is short. The sun began to heat up at noon. Zhang Xiaowu used clothes and branches to make a simple parasol. Yin Jiuer held up the parasol and followed him with a smile. Her eyes were like crescent moons and she said admiringly: "Little
Brother Wu, you are so awesome, you can even make umbrellas. How about we open an umbrella shop in the future, where you make the umbrellas and I sell them? We will only sell them to young ladies from wealthy families, and we will definitely make a lot of money."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Your little head is really smart. You are worthy of being the daughter of a businessman."
Yin Jiu'er worriedly said: "Brother Xiao Wu, do you look down on merchants' daughters?" Yin Jiu'er also has a good reputation in Tucheng. There are many marriage proposals, but the families of gentry and officials are only willing to accept the daughters of merchants as concubines, while ordinary small families
She was rejected by Mr. Yin again, which delayed Yin Jiuer's marriage.
Zhang Xiaowu smiled sweetly: "Scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen are all equal. No one can look down on anyone. Only dog eyes look down on others. Everyone should respect each other. How could I look down on you? I'm afraid you will look down on me. I'm a stinky soldier. Alas...
…”
"No, no, how can I look down on you?" Yin Jiuer said hurriedly: "Some people look down on merchants, huh, dogs look down on people."
The two people continued to move forward on the thin grass. The Saibei Wasteland was half desert and half grassland. The desert was better. There might be wolves and hyenas hidden in the grass. The two could only be cautious. When they arrived at a bush, the two of them
After resting for a while, because they had not eaten, their stomachs started to growl again. Zhang Xiaowu handed the water to Yin Jiuer, but saw her take out the oilcloth bag from the pocket on the back of her waist, and when she opened it, it turned out to be four pancakes.
.
Zhang Xiaowu was stunned: "Are you a magician?"
Yin Jiuer blinked his bright eyes and said slyly and proudly: "It's the wedding cake last night. I hid it before I finished it."
"Have you always kept it with you?"
"Of course it is, living in such a big house, if it is picked up by mice or stolen by thieves, we will have no food." Yin Jiuer said proudly, "Actually, I even put some meat bones in the bowl
Here, we are going to make broth tomorrow, and today I was going to make broth pancakes for you. This is my favorite dish."
"What a clever girl." Zhang Xiaowu managed to say a word. He was filled with admiration in his heart. He said to himself that this little bride is really a living person. Not all girls who look like fairies are just vases. He really answered that sentence.
As the old saying goes, the children of the poor become rich early.
Yin Jiuer gave him a piece of bread, but he only ate a third of it. Then he put the bread away and said, "This is food for tomorrow and the day after. I only need to eat one, and you can eat three. I have the strength."
It's not much snack, and you have to protect me, so you should have eaten more."
Zhang Xiaowu was silent. He heard from Jiu'er's words that she was worried that he would go out of his way to express the importance of protecting her. He did not expect that a fourteen-year-old girl could have such an exquisite mind and take care of her face so delicately.
He couldn't help but smile knowingly, and held her hand unconsciously.
Jiu'er laughed, like a sparrow crowing for the first time.
Zhang Xiaowu was not worried about food at first. His idea was that it would be robbed by herdsmen on the road. Unfortunately, there was no human habitation along the way. Except for birds and insects flying in the sky, there was not even a large beast. Fortunately, women in this era did not bind their feet.
, otherwise the two of them really wouldn’t be able to go very far.
Unknowingly, the sky darkened, and suddenly there were sparkling waves in front of them. The two of them ran over and saw a large, turbulent river.
There is only one big river in Saibei Wasteland, which is the Jialan River that runs from east to west in Saibei. The two looked at each other, and Jiuer said excitedly: "We ran to the north. The Jialan River is north of Tucheng."
"Not just to the north, we are probably quite far away from Tucheng." Zhang Xiaowu looked at the river and analyzed, "We keep walking along the river to the west, and we will find Jincheng in half a month. Jincheng is the base camp of the Qinglong Army.
Until then we will be safe for the time being."
Yin Jiu'er came to the river with a smile and said: "When Aweng was alive, he often took our family to play by the river. Every year during the Qingming Festival, he would weave a straw hat for me out of reeds by the river." Thinking of his relatives, Jiu'er thought of his relatives.
Overcome with grief, she first choked in a low voice, and then burst into tears, finally releasing the sadness in her heart completely.
After crying for a long time, Jiu'er felt a pair of big hands holding her little hand until she was tired of crying.
Zhang Xiaowu said softly: "If they know something underground, they definitely don't want us to be sad for a long time. As long as we live the rest of our lives, it will be the best memorial to them."
"Yeah, yeah." Jiu'er nodded gently.
The wind started blowing and the weather turned cold. Zhang Xiaowu decided to find a place to rest in the lee of the wind. He first cut grass around the area and spread it on the ground, then divided half of the clothes on his back and put them under his body. He regretted: "It's a pity that there is no such thing." Huo Zhezi, have you brought it with you?"
Jiuer pursed her lips and said, "I'm not a god, so where did I get the fire?"
"Aren't you a fairy? Use a spell, blow a breath, and fire will start!" Zhang Xiaowu flattered him, and the little bride burst out laughing, feeling very happy. He lay down first, then patted the open space next to him and said: "Come here, why are you so far away from me?"
Jiu'er was a little reserved, but said in her heart: "I have already married brother Xiao Wu, and I am Zhang Yin now, so what if I sleep with him?" But he couldn't help but look around privately, looking at everyone on the left and right. The man walked over like a deer. When he leaned against him, Jiu'er's body was still trembling slightly, his face was red with embarrassment, and he looked more like a little pepper.
It was just that Zhang Xiaowu was focused on being vigilant about the surroundings for fear of wild beasts and pursuers, and did not notice her shyness.
"Brother Xiao Wu is so handsome." Jiu'er looked at him blankly, thinking that maybe he was tired. After looking at him for a while, he fell asleep.
