Along the way, Duan Xiaohe was bumpy with the horse. Seeing that she was not well, Qin Rui slowed down. Duan Xiaohe wanted him to speed up a little. At this rate, how long before she could reach the South Zhangzhou?
In the evening, the two of them arrived at a small town. They knocked on a few inns, but none of them opened their doors to do business.
She even said that the people here didn't know that there would be relatives during the new year? Qin Rui said that there were not many good people who opened their doors for business on the new year's eve.
Duan Xiaohe was too lazy to argue with him, she took out the dry food she had prepared and took a bite.
Qin Rui came over and took away the pancake in her hand, saying that it was New Year's Eve and he must eat something good. As a result, Duan Xiaohe watched dumbstruck as he jumped into her big courtyard and stole a big fat chicken, then pulled her up onto a horse and ran all the way to the God Temple beside the town.
Qin Rui was indifferent to his work as he pointed at the offerings, "Or you can eat that too."
In her eyes, there was not much difference between a god and a ghost. Even if she was hungry to the point of sticking her chest to her back, she wouldn't dare to go up and steal one.
Qin Rui had twisted off the fat chicken's neck, and was already pulling its feathers. Seeing that she was still standing on the side, he immediately told her to go over and get the flower chicken to eat.
They used to eat pheasants hunted by the Liu San s, but this time, the fat chicken didn't feel as delicious as the pheasant. Maybe it was stolen, or maybe it was done in front of a City God, Duan Xiaohe felt a little guilty.
The two of them had already finished off the chicken legs, and they had even finished nibbling on the wings. He actually came to my place and had to give me a gift. Duan Xiaohe looked at the completely broken and incomplete Huayu, and couldn't even lay her butt on it. She simply grabbed the chicken neck and head from Qin Rui's hands and placed them on the altar in front of the City Lord respectfully.
Qin Rui glanced at her and tore off another piece of his chest flesh.
Duan Xiaohe had nothing to do after she finished eating, so she could only look around the City God Temple. With a tug on her back, she quietly headed towards Qin Rui's direction a little more.
Qin Rui stood up after he finished eating. From the looks of it, he was going to leave. Duan Xiaohe panicked and immediately followed.
"Where are you going?"
Qin Rui swept his eyes across her, "I'm convenient."
Duan Xiaohe turned her head to take a look inside, and ran over to his side with a body covered in fur. "I'll go and take care of it as well."
What happened after that was a bit awkward, the surrounding area of the temple was completely bare, there wasn't even a tree, he couldn't even find a place to hide. Qin Rui was shameless as he stood there. Embarrassed, he turned around, feeling that it would be even more awkward if he heard's shushing sounds later on, he walked a little further away.
After being unable to hear anything for a long time, Duan Xiaohe called out to him, but to no avail. She once again covered her eyes and looked behind her.
What the f * ck!
Duan Xiaohe panicked, this bastard could not have abandoned him and ran away?
It's said that there are quite a few dead ghosts near the city's temples. They're looking for someone to be their scapegoat." Duan Xiaohe was almost scared to the point of peeing her pants. After shouting a few times at Qin Rui, the surroundings became completely silent. There wasn't even the chirping of insects or the chirping of birds.
Something was going to happen!
Ah!
Duan Xiaohe was lifted up high, the feeling of weightlessness in her feet caused her to scream out loud. Qin Rui laughed, pleased with his prank.
Dammit!
"Put me down, I'm feeling dizzy, I'm about to vomit."
Qin Rui was so frightened that he immediately put her down. Just as he was about to grab her wrist to check her pulse, Duan Xiaohe swung her other palm over.
Qin Rui stably cut him off, "Looks like there's nothing wrong with it."
Duan Xiaohe struggled twice to no avail. Is there something wrong with you? Are you trying to make me play? "
"He let go of her hand with an apologetic look on his face." "It's because I'm not serious."
She was angry, and no longer afraid of ghosts. He angrily ran back to the city temple, found the place where he sat before, and hugged his knees as he sulked.
Qin Rui coughed lightly, telling her to rest quickly so that he could travel tomorrow.
She ignored him, feeling it was a mistake to go out with him.
Just as he was deep in thought, he felt something warm covering his body.
She looked up and saw that it was his shirt.
It wasn't snowing outside, but it was very cold. The more Duan Xiaohe thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply wrapped his clothes tightly around him, feeling as if she could freeze to death just like that.
At dawn of the second day, Duan Xiaohe stretched her back full of energy. Qin Rui guarded the last of the sparks as she trembled, and when he saw that she had woken up, she immediately reached out to ask for her clothes.
Duan Xiaohe passed the clothes over, and Qin Rui caught it and draped it over his shoulders. The top of her blouse was warm, warm, and smelled of her.
Qin Rui was shocked.
The weather was very good today. There was no wind or snow. Qin Rui jumped on the horse and extended his hand out to her.
Duan Xiaohe thought for a while, then handed them over, and the little white horse carried two people and ran away. They rushed madly along the way, and only when the sky gradually darkened did they reach the South Zhangzhou.
The South Zhangzhou was much richer than the Qinghe County, and I heard that because of the existence of the general, the South Zhangzhou can't be shut at night. Along the way, they didn't see many people in the town, but the South Zhangzhou was very lively right now, so lively that she was not used to it.
"This is South Zhangzhou?"
The corner of Qin Rui's mouth held a trace of a smile, "You've already asked for the third time, this is South Zhangzhou."
"Then where can I go to find the Liu San?"
He looked at her silently, "I heard that the northern troop has garrisoned their camp outside of the city. Your Liu San should be there."
Two miles...
The sky was no longer suitable for the day to come. They had already arrived at the location of South Zhangzhou anyway, so they would take a good rest today. She had been exhausted all the way here. Her legs were shaking from the grinding of the horse's back, and she could barely stand.
When she had rested well and was full of spirit, he would go and see the Liu San tomorrow, only then would he feel at ease with himself.
The two of them first had a good meal, then found an inn to have a good rest for the night. The next morning, Duan Xiaohe went to the street and asked about the location of the northern troop's camp.
It was only two kilometers, and two miles wasn't even as long as her family's Fujiang Village. Duan Xiaohe, with a little excitement, thought a thousand times over to see what the Liu San would say and what would happen.
When he was approaching the northern army camp, he saw the flag that was erected high up above, causing Duan Xiaohe's heart to become tranquil.
Before they arrived at the barracks, she stated her purpose of coming here. However, the two black-faced gate gods guarding the front said that the new soldiers weren't here, so they told her to leave quickly.
Duan Xiaohe then asked her where she was since she was not here, in fear that others would mistake her as a spy, and even brought out the bag she brought with her to Liu San.
They were basically saying that this was a military secret and couldn't be told to her. Hearing the sound of hooves behind her, she stepped aside. The leader was a dashing young master with a few burly men following behind him. The young master glanced at her before urging his horse into the army camp.
The two guards at the gate said that it was inappropriate for her to be here in the military camp, so they took her luggage and drove her away.
Just as Duan Xiaohe entered the city dejectedly, she was stopped by Qin Rui who had been guarding the city gate.
"I knew you didn't want to take me there. Why, you didn't see Liu San?"
She shook her head dejectedly, "He said that they, these newcomers, are not there, but I have already brought the bags over to Liu San. When he returns, he should know that I have come to see him."
She did not care about Qin Rui, and directly walked forward after saying her piece.
The words sounded good, but it didn't matter whether the thing was entrusted to her or taken away from her, it was still left there.
Qin Rui meant to say that since he had come to South Zhangzhou, he should take a good stroll. Duan Xiaohe was not interested, she just wanted to return to the tavern to sleep for a day, then hurry back home early tomorrow morning.
"How can there be such a boring person like you? Liu San is just not in the army camp, he didn't even say he would be on the battlefield right now, why are you acting like this? This is unlike that Duan Xiaohe I know. "
She didn't even have the strength to speak now, and her mood was downcast to the extreme.
Seeing that there was a kneader at the side, Qin Rui took out a cute little girl and brought it in front of her. Duan Xiaohe was startled for a moment, and then extended her hand to receive it.
"Can this thing be eaten?"
Qin Rui nodded.
Duan Xiaohe looked at the little girl for a while, but it was truly because that little girl was too adorable, she was unwilling to eat it. Other people didn't know if the hand of the man who pinched the mask was clean or not. Besides, there were many people walking on the road. If there was any dust on it …
Thinking about it this way, Duan Xiaohe felt that it would be better to play with it.
After wandering around the city for an entire day, looking at her dispirited expression, Qin Rui did not have the heart to harass her anymore. The two of them casually ate some food and returned to the tavern.
Duan Xiaohe felt weak all over and fell asleep on the bed. When she woke up, Qin Rui was seriously taking her pulse.
"You drugged me? Why am I so out of sorts? "
Qin Rui looked at her coldly, "Could it be that I'm afraid that you'll treat me like this after drinking … That's why I drugged you when I told you about it? "
"He stood up and covered her with the blanket." "Rest well, I'll go get some medicine for you."
After Qin Rui left the tavern, he went straight to a restaurant in the city, there were people waiting for him inside.
"Cut the crap, I still need to catch some medicine."
That person replied respectfully, "Four or five days ago, I received news from the border trial saying that the person I was looking for might be at the border trial."
Qin Rui's gaze became ruthless, "Send someone to look for him. Now that the light is in chaos, we cannot let the current people find the little young master first. "
After saying a few more words, that person left. Qin Rui retracted the ruthlessness in his eyes, his eyes were as deep as the abyss.
A few days ago, he received news that the Liu San had followed the northern troop to provide support. He had picked a time to bring Duan Xiaohe back so that they wouldn't meet each other, but he could make her feel at ease.
A soldier like the Liu San would definitely be sent to the battlefield, whether or not he would survive would depend on his luck. If I don't have a life to return …
