Chapter 50 The Beauty of the Barren Mountains
"Dad, he seems to be conscious!" This was Wang Zhu's first consciousness. But in a blink of an eye, all consciousness disappeared.
"The head is quite hot, are you getting fever? Daughter, we have to hurry up and get his armor. We can try to take it off for him. If we encounter the Chu army, we will definitely die." Wang Zhu wore the armor of an ordinary general, and the bulletproof vest was left in Guanzhong.
While walking on the carriage, the girl threw away the red tassel helmet on Wang Zhu's head. The helmet rolled down the cliff and disappeared. Wang Zhu's armor was very heavy. The old man cut off the stranded tapes one by one with a hatchet, and threw the golden armor from dozens of kilograms down the foot of the mountain together.
The more you go out the mountain road, the wider it looks. You can almost send two carriages together. The sky is already dark, and some villages hidden in the mountains are starting to light up, and the cries of jackals, tigers, leopards, night owls, and the carriages chopping wood are still squeaking and twisting.
The old and the young seemed to have been used to walking such night roads. They didn't feel scary at all, but seemed even more calm. The girl smiled and said, "Dad, the torch is lit, and one is inserted on both sides of the shaft, and no beast dares to approach." At this time, the carriage came to an intersection, and you could get out of the mountain after turning around.
The old man looked at the situation: "Let's take a break here!"
A dreamlike stream flowed out from the cracks of the mountain, leaving behind the foothills at the base of the mountain, forming a very small waterfall. The mountain spring was clear and clear, and the sound of the jumping sound was also refreshing.
The girl got out of the car and lit a bonfire by the stream! The blazing fire made her face red, like the morning glow in the sky. The old man said, "I'll go there to pack up a hare, look at him!" The girl nodded, and the old man walked away.
"Shui-Shui-" Wang Zhu suddenly felt thirsty, as if he was drunk and woke up Su Ye. His whole body was so painful, as if there were a thousand dull knives cutting his flesh at the same time.
"Don't move, I'll bring you water!" The girl found that Wang Zhu's body was like a broken bottle. As long as she moved, blood would flow out from countless wounds.
The clear and cool spring water poured into Wang Zhu's bloody mouth. He suddenly felt a little sensation, his head became much clearer, and his eyes felt mottled.
"You are awake--" Before the girl finished speaking, she heard a rapid sound of horse hooves in her ears. The sound of horse hooves went from far to near, like a rain curtain swept by the wind. In the trance, Wang Zhu saw a shadow of fire!
"Who is here?" After a brutal and rude shout, the sound of horse hooves came to an abrupt end. The white mist in front of Wang Zhu was blown away by the boundless murderous aura, and there were soldiers riding war horses in armor.
"Clang clang clang clang clang clang" A sound of drawing a sword and drawing a sword sounded; "After the general, you have found a spy here!" A general wearing heavy armor rode on the horse and asked coldly: "Are you spies there?!"
The old man who was packing up the rabbits heard the sound and ran over with a bloody hatchet. "General, general, we are not spies, we are Chu, not spies!" The soldiers saw the old man holding the "offensive weapon" and stood up, with high vigilance, and surrounded him: "Put down the knife, otherwise you will be polite to you!" The old man hurriedly threw away the hatchet and knelt on the ground and said, "Generals, the old man is a Chu man who chops wood in the mountains, not a spy!"
The general looked up and down at the old man, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the girl beside him, and a glimmer of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Who is this? Why are you injured? You are still saying that you are not a spy!"
Wang Zhu was confused and saw a slightly thin general of Chu standing in front of him, with a arrogant face and domineering attitude.
"General, this is my brother. He accidentally fell from the mountain when he was just collecting firewood. He is not a bad person, let alone a spy!" The girl said tremblingly with a water cup in her hand.
The general jumped off the horse, kicked Wang Zhu, and sneered, "You are lying, you don't look like you at all. I think he looks like a Qin man! Come on, chop me up!" The two soldiers immediately rushed forward with their arms shook.
"Slow down!" The delicate girl stood up, spread her arms and blocked Wang Zhu's straight body: "What do the Qin people look like? The folk girl wants to ask the general!"
"Just like him!" The general stared at the girl with malicious intentions. A very bad consciousness flew across the old man's heart. The old man hurriedly blocked the girl: "General, he is really my son, not a Qin person. The general is a divine weapon and a general, and you must be aware of it!"
"Does go!" The general pulled out his sword and smiled sinisterly: "He has a sword wound on his body, and he is clearly a soldier of Qin." The old man sweated coldly and waved his hands repeatedly; "General, that was not a sword wound. He was scratched by dry vines and rocks when he rolled down from the foot of the mountain."
"How can I prove it? I see that you three don't look like each other at all!"
The girl said angrily, "Does the general look the same as your brothers and sisters?" The general suddenly inserted the knife back into the scabbard and laughed, "Little girl, you are so clever! Do you know that this general can kill all three of you Qin spies in just one sentence."
"General, you are so majestic! You can kill people with just one word. Why don't Qin say a few words to kill all the kings, subjects and soldiers of Qin, but you will lead the army to the deep mountains and forests, showing off your might to us, the people of Chu, and you will be arrogant. The little woman is really scared to death. With a general like you in Chu, you will definitely be prosperous."
"You—" The general held the hilt of the knife hard, and the veins were exposed on his thin hands: "Do you dare to say it again?!" The girl sneered, "It's okay to say it ten times. The general of Chu State is powerful and can kill an old woodcutter over 50 years old and a weak orphan girl in one sentence. All the people of Chu State admire the general and worship him!"
"Hmph!" The general's muscles bulged with fierce look. He pulled out an inch of the knife and inserted it heavily: "My 'Suhe' is definitely not the kind of person you said. If you don't believe it, let's take a look. I will definitely follow the overlord, the King of Jiujiang will kill to Guanzhong, and capture the King of the Brutal Qin alive. Get on the horse!"
A team of cavalry with about 2,000 people followed Suihe. Wang Zhu saw the whole process and couldn't help but jump in his heart. Unexpectedly, this figure, who looked as thin as a begonia in the wind, spoke so strongly and fiercely. The girl turned her head and breathed a long breath. Wang Zhu was about to see her appearance clearly, but her whole body was hurting and fainted.
When Wang Zhu woke up for the second time, he was already in Dingtao a hundred miles away!
"I woke up, I woke up, and he finally woke up. I really did not let down the two egg-laying hens in our family! The delicious food is a big tonic. You see, he woke up." The girl rushed out of the room happily like a butterfly.
An old voice in the outer room laughed, "Daughter, Daddy disagrees with what you said. This person definitely doesn't look like a suffering person. I think he must be a noble man who is pampered in Qin State. Your old hen may not be anything in his mouth. The reason why he woke up was because the medical skills of "Ma Langzhong" were very clever!"
The old man said this and walked in with the girl smiling. Wang Zhu was turning his head to survey the terrain! This room can be described in four words to describe the "limited walls of the house". The roof is covered with thick thatch, and there should be no tiles, because the thatch in the corner of the wall is moldy, and waves of mold are coming to his face. It should be caused by rain. The window is made of a few thorns, which cannot stop the wind and rain at all. The tide is rising underground, and the wet mud is refreshing everywhere. There is a mud village, a tiled jar, a broken table in the corner of the wall. In addition, there is a large black and gray bowl held in the girl's hand.
"Young man, I used the jade pendant on you as my body. I have all the money I have received to get medicine for you. There is still a little left, and it is all under your pillow. We didn't move at all." The old man sat on Wang Zhu's earthen kang and said to Wang Zhu. Because he wanted to fight, Wang Zhu probably didn't carry much gold and silver on his body. He didn't know much about the jade pendant. There were too many of these things. He was interested in it, but it was just an ornament.
"Old man--" Wang Zhu suddenly burst into tears: "If I can survive, I must repay you and treat you as my father!"
"Don't say that. I will know that you are the great noble and general of Qin State. If you really thank me, I will not ask you to repay you. I just hope that if you attack Chu State one day, kill a few less people in Chu!" The old man sighed deeply.
The girl said gently, "Get up and drink medicine quickly, it's all cold!"
Wang Zhu still couldn't get up. Although he struggled desperately to sit up and see the girl's appearance, for many days, he had been desperate to look at her in his dream. But as soon as he moved, the person felt like a nail-roller. Wang Zhu was also a tough guy, and his teeth were clattering, and he didn't hum after all.
"Come and drink the medicine quickly. If it hurts, just shout it out. You don't know how many times you shouted in your dream. At this time, you are acting as a tough guy and you will suffer in vain!" The girl said angrily, while moving over to feed Wang Zhu medicine.
"Thank you, Miss!" Wang Zhu's heartbeat, and felt a hot thing rushing into his head. He drank the bowl of bitter medicine soup handed over by the girl as mellow and jade liquid. His chest seemed to explode, and his eyes felt wet, and the girl's appearance was even more difficult to see clearly.
"Old man, haven't you asked you about your surname Gao yet?"
Wang Zhu thought to himself, be polite to his benefactor, and don’t neglect it. Moreover, he has to live on them in the near future.
"The old man's surname is Qi, and everyone here calls me Old Man Qi! You should also call me Old Man Qi!"
Wang Zhu thought to himself that this old man Qi could not be called a name. The old man was enough to be his father at this age: "Dad Qi, remember the grace of saving his life in his heart and will never be forgotten."
The girl laughed and said, "Oh, you are really a person. My father and I saved your life not to make you repay you, but because God has the virtue of being a good life. You are also a scholar. I don't understand this truth, but it's true."
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, the girl blamed me very correctly!" Wang Zhu felt that the girl was innocent, straightforward, gentle and sometimes unruly, with a nice and crisp voice like a paul, and spoke appropriately. She was definitely not an ordinary farm girl. She was grateful, admired and admired in her heart.
The old man suddenly remembered something and said, "Your mother's medicine hasn't been drunk yet. I'll go and see it. Get him something to eat!" The Chu Feng of Dingtao generation was very fierce and simple, and he didn't have much grudges about men and women, so the old man did not shy away from it and let his daughter get along with Wang Zhu with confidence.
"The two old hens have been made into chicken soup for you, but I haven't eaten them. There are still a few pieces of meat. Do you want to eat them?" Miss Qi said quietly, revealing the desire of the poor girl for chicken in her tone. Wang Zhu sighed in her heart and couldn't help but say pity; "Miss Qi, I just need to eat some wild vegetable pot, and the chicken will be left for you!"
Miss Qi slipped her lips: "What kind of pot is there? Do you think it's in the rich man's house, there is only yellow rice porridge here. Do you want it? If you want it, I'll bring it to you if you want it!" As she said that, she sat by the bed, looked at Wang Zhu with curious eyes, and looked at Wang Zhu curiously. Her two slender legs in coarse cloth dresses drooped under the kang, shaking alternately, and suddenly burst into laughter. "What are you looking at me stupidly? Oh, Dad said you are a great nobleman. Are you? Look at your skin better than girls like this, you are really a rich high-ranking official. But it's not like that. People say that high-ranking officials are fat, full of stomachs, and two taels of oil can be scratched out of their faces. You don't look like you, you are like an actor!"
Wang Zhu looked at the innocent and lovely girl like orchid in the valley and suddenly became an idiot. The girl's whole body revealed a transcendent and elegant aura, filled with the smell of a fairy who is not as good as the world's fireworks. Her slender eyebrows were not decorated, just like the moon among thousands of pine trees, and her black hair was hanging on her vest, freely freehand like an immortal willow branch floating in the wind and snow. Her soft eye sockets showed her eyebrows and eyes as picturesque. The slender and bright eyebrows and eyes were flashing under her long eyelashes that were as beautiful as butterflies, which were more beautiful and suffocating. The two cherry lips under her delicate nose were plump and bright red, and sometimes she smiled lightly. Her soft and slender hands were only suitable for playing the piano and flute, and she could never chop wood and cook.
"I--" Wang Zhu didn't want to lie to her: "I do have some money, girl, did Dad Qi say that there is still some money under my pillow, why didn't I buy rice and noodles?" The girl smiled sweetly; "Your money is yours, we don't need it!" Wang Zhu said anxiously; "But, if you save me, I can't eat and live here for free!" The girl turned around; "It's right to save your life. If you collect the money, wouldn't you become a doctor!"
Wang Zhu said: "This - this can't be said like this - I'm willing!" The girl narrowed her beautiful eyes into a slit, staring at Wang Zhu, and said with a smile. "You just said willingly, I'll give me the chicken in the pot, right?" Wang Zhu said; "Of course, if the girl is willing, even my meat can be eaten-" Miss Qi's face turned red and she said: "You are not a good person, what are you talking about?"
Wang Zhu hurriedly said, "Miss, don't get me wrong, I'm in a hurry-"
"Haha, you're just like a woman, blushed!" The girl made fun of Wang Zhu, but said with regret. "Don't worry, I won't be able to grab food from a patient. I'll serve you meat!"
Wang Zhu's heart was bleeding! It was really a stinking wine and meat in the country, and there were frozen bones on the road. Why is it so poor? (To be continued)
