Although it is said that "wildfires never burn out, they are rekindled by the spring breeze", but in this season when the cold wind blows, the grassland fires are still silent.
The three of them walked a few more people, but wherever they passed, there was still no trace of vitality or green. All that could be seen was gray and gray! Occasionally, there were three or two water sources, and one or two streams and rivers passed by, giving people a trace of life.
comfort.
Only the majestic mountains looming in the distance guide people's direction.
In the grassland, the only tall grass that can hinder the wind has disappeared. The entire grassland can only let the wind gallop in all directions! The wind passing by becomes more and more fierce, cutting people's bodies even more than a knife blade! [
Even though the two women were of high cultivation, their faces were sore from being cut. In desperation, they put on veils to cover their faces.
This is a grassland oasis, with traces of water suddenly appearing around it. If you look carefully through the flooded water surface, you will see that there is still a trace of green algae at the bottom. Inside, one or two fish disappear suddenly.
A scream cut through the strong wind blowing.
Li Xingzhi picked up the not-so-fat gray rabbit that had just jumped out of the hole. He gently scratched it with a knife in his hand, and a piece of gray intact turf slid off the rabbit like a layer of silky silk.
With another shake and a few clatters, all the internal organs in the rabbit's belly fell onto the piece of fur. The knife cut again and cut off two slightly fat rabbit legs. The other things were wrapped in rabbit skin.
Throw it far away.
A fire was lit, and Li Xingzhi held two oiled rabbit legs and stretched them directly into the charcoal fire. Next to it, there was a fire with a small wok on top, and a pot of white porridge slurping inside. What time was it inside?
Green, with the aroma of green vegetables.
The two women had long known that there was something strange happening to Li Xingzhi, but Li Xingzhi didn't say anything, and they didn't ask. As for where the vegetables came from in the grassland in this winter, the two women didn't care.
The rabbit meat offal that was thrown far away exuded the scent of blood, constantly luring the already hungry predators. Several gray-yellow flat-tailed foxes crawled out of the holes, without the usual agility and probing mind. They didn't care at all.
The crowds who were not allowed to get close jumped out and ran to the bloody rabbit meat, preparing to have a feast. A little further away, a few foxes or other animals poked their heads out, looking greedily at the pieces of fishy meat.
It seems that a fight is inevitable.
The girl had taken off her mask and looked at the crowd of Cang Yi. She complained a few words. Her face was covered with some hard-to-see gray stains. When she saw the fragrant porridge and golden rabbit meat in front of her, she reluctantly swallowed the food in her mouth.
complain.
"Brother Li, when will we go back?"
Li Xingzhi looked at the bleakness of the world and lost his patience. There was a little worry on his face. It would be okay if the Tang army turned around, but if they continued to pursue, it would be bad. This bitter cold has destroyed the land of life, if not
He has many golden fingers, but he dare not go deep into it rashly.
I originally wanted to see the scenery outside the Great Wall, where the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep can be seen, and by the way, I can see the ancient soldiers fighting in the battle formation. I can't believe that I can also meet my old friends. But who would have known that when Pu Yi came up, he would see such a miserable scene.
!
"After today, we will turn eastward!" In the bottom of his heart, he still had some expectations and hopes, but also some worries.
The battlefield is dangerous, not to mention the bitter cold grassland. I don’t know what happened to Wang Erlang and Xue Dalang.
It stands to reason that Xue Rengui is a famous general who is destined to go down in history and shoot Wuyuan fiercely. It is not his turn to worry. But this time, because of his arrival, this future famous general joined the army ten years early. Who knows what will happen?
What accident caused him to be slapped to death? If so, it would be Li Xingzhi's grave sin!
With this thought in his mind, he suddenly felt anxious and irritable. After lunch, he rode straight to the northwest! If he couldn't find any clues today, he would have no choice but to go back to the border of Datang to find out more news.
Thousands of miles of people, fast horses galloping, this world and grassland are clearly spread out for these horses!
The three of them couldn't open their eyes, so they could only lean on their horses and let the strong wind make the skirts of their clothes rattle like rags, and let the strong wind pass through them.
Three horses with long manes hunting, their neighing piercing the air, this is the joy of living in a cage and enjoying freedom for a day!
The horses' hoofs clattered, and their neighing sound was like a golden drum breaking through the air. At this moment, the three people's emotions began to fly, let go! On the gray grassland, only the joy of breaking free from the shackles was left![
Time and space passed quietly under the soaring horses of freedom. When the three of them raised their heads again, the moon was already shining in the sky!
When they stopped, both girls shuddered. Li Xingzhi jumped off the horse, and as soon as he grabbed their hands, he felt ice cold. He secretly cursed himself for not being careful, and quickly held the two girls in his arms.
Then, at some point, he took out a soft fur robe and wrapped the two women.
"Is it still cold? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Li Xingzhi hugged the two soft and somewhat cold bodies and said softly.
Both women had strange blushes on their faces, and they felt so warm and comfortable in Li Xingzhi's arms.
"It's not cold." The two women shook their heads gently, but held their hands tighter!
Under the vast starry sky and on the vast land, there were only three people standing alone, keeping each other warm.
For some reason, Li Xingzhi felt a warmth surge in his heart - he had never felt that he was so close to the two women!
After a long time, Li Xingzhi tightened his fur robe tightly and looked down. He saw that the two women's faces were flushed, with peaceful smiles, and they were still asleep. The hands holding him were still tight.
He touched the foreheads of the two women and found that they were not feeling hot, so he felt relieved.
Li Xingzhi found a fairly flat ground, waved his hand, and a pile of dry firewood suddenly appeared on the ground! At this time, three tall horses had already sat around to protect the three of them from the strong wind.
With a roar, a few sparks fell from the night sky and landed on the dry firewood and grass leaves. The fire suddenly burst into flames. Soon, it became fierce and the fire was radiating!
As the fire burned, people felt much warmer and more comfortable.
Li Xingzhi looked around habitually.
"Huh——?"
Then the moonlight shone brightly, and not far away, the long and continuous tracks of people and horses came into his eyes!
Li Xingzhi suddenly looked happy!
On the second day, the light gradually rose in the sky.
Li Xing still held the two girls with one hand, and took out a small pot with the other hand, put it on the fire, poured in some milk and water, and added millet and stir-fry. Milk porridge warms the body and stomach, so it is the most suitable.
When the rice porridge was rotten and the sky was blue, the two women slowly opened their eyes. Their eyes were misty, but their two cute little noses were moving. They were so cute.
"Two little lazy pigs, wake up!" Li Xingzhi looked at the two women who were about to wake up and said with a smile.
The two women left Li Xingzhi's arms, and the coldness in the air made them shiver.
"Put them on quickly! It's time for breakfast." Li Xingzhi handed over two fur robes.[
"It smells so good!" Li Linzhi said, smelling the fragrance of rice and the fragrance of milk that was neither strong nor light, and twitched her nose happily with a bit of satisfaction.
Li Xingzhi was serving milk porridge when Li Linzhi suddenly said: "Brother Li, let's go back today."
"I'm afraid not."
The girl looked a little disappointed. She also liked beautiful scenery and playing with Li Xingzhi, but she was tired of seeing the same gray scenery.
"What do you see over there?" Li Xingzhi pointed not far away and said.
The girl turned her head and looked around. All she saw were car marks and horse marks. She said happily: "Finally found it!"
She looked along the traces, and suddenly she wondered: "These traces go from southwest to northwest. Should we go southwest? Or northwest?"
Judging from these traces, it only took a few days. The wind came from the northwest. If they were in the northwest, we would have heard the sound of people shouting and neighing, so naturally we would look for it in the southwest...
