Although it was severely washed away, there are still some traces left, the lines are very smooth and natural, and there are still a few broken small wooden branches stuck vertically in several places.
It's quite like the habit of an old friend of his.
The visitor withdrew his gaze, raised his head and looked towards the road ahead.
The face under the hat was slightly raised, showing a handsome face that was not very young.
There are some sunken eye sockets, a few fine lines at the corners of the eyes, and some bags under the eyelids. Apart from these, the skin is in good condition and very smooth, and the nasolabial folds at the corners of the lips are not obvious.
There was a three-way intersection ahead, and the place where the other road led seemed to be a ruined temple if he remembered correctly.
He actually wanted to go and see who would be in the ruined temple at this time, but he didn't have enough time and he had to be on his way.
The man walked forward, and when he passed the "terrain" over there, he deliberately avoided it without taking another look, and his figure quickly disappeared on the road ahead.
………………
The rain falls from the sky like a hanging waterfall.
Lao Tong and Zhi Changle sat on the incense table that had been turned down inside the door, sharpening their spears one by one.
The lobby was filled with medicinal aroma, and with the boiling herbs, the smell became stronger and stronger.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered the fire on the fire slightly and cooked it slowly, then filled a bowl of vegetable soup from the other fire and brought it to the injured person.
When Lao Tong saw this, he said, "Ah Li, how about I come and feed you?"
"No need." Xia Zhaoyi said, having already brought it to the injured person and sat down.
The fire was warm and the wood was sizzling inside.
The wounded man's eyes were half closed. When he heard the approaching movement, he raised his eyes and looked at the little girl.
In the dim light, the girl's face was very small, her hair was tied back with a piece of wood stuck in it, and the broken hair on her forehead was a little messy.
"Old man, let's have something to eat." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Little girl." The injured person's voice was hoarse, with a strong Peifeng accent.
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi responded, gently took a mouthful of vegetable soup with a spoon, and handed it to his lips.
The injured person lowered his eyes to look at the decoction, opened his mouth and drank it.
One spoonful was fed in, and Xia Zhaoyi fed another spoonful.
The injured suddenly cried and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
Xia Zhaoyi paused slightly and lowered his hand.
The more the injured cried, the more uncomfortable it became. The wounds on his body were involved, which was extremely painful, but he could not hold back his tears, which made his body tremble more violently due to the forbearance.
It took him a long time before he regained some composure and looked towards Xia Zhaoyi.
Xia Zhaoyi had been waiting quietly beside him. After he recovered, she scooped out the soup and put it to his lips again.
After swallowing, the injured person said: "Little girl, I will do it myself."
"No, you're running out of strength, just lie down," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Also, my name is A Li, from Li Hua."
The injured man nodded and said, "Ah Li."
Xia Zhaoyi fed him again, but the wounded man choked and swallowed.
After more than ten spoonfuls, the small bowl bottomed out.
Xia Zhaoyi stood up and said: "Old man, if you drink the medicine after half an hour, it will be a little bitter."
"I'm not afraid of hardship." The injured person responded.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, turned around and left.
Lao Tong retracted his gaze, sighed softly, turned to look at the heavy rain outside, and whittled the spear with the blade in his hand, saying: "In these troubled times, it's really like killing a thousand swords."
"No one's life is easy." Zhi Changle looked at the spear in his hand and said, "It's all fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clear voice of the little girl came from over there: "Fate can be changed."
Zhi Changle and Lao Tong turned around.
Xia Zhaoyi stood in front of the Buddha statue, still holding an empty bowl in his hand, looking up at the Buddha statue covered with cobwebs and dust, and said calmly: "Mountains can be moved, seas can be filled, and the world can be recast. In troubled times,
It will be over."
Lao Tong looked at her weakened body, paused, and said, "Then, does that mean that the current foolish emperor will soon be unable to become an emperor?"
Hearing the word "faint king", Zhi Changle was so frightened that he did not immediately reach out to cover his mouth.
"I don't know." Xia Zhaoyi said, looking back and smiling, "How could a little girl like me know this."
If she hadn't said this, Lao Tong and Zhi Changle would have almost stopped treating her as a girl.
Only when I looked closer did I realize that she was actually quite small in appearance.
After a while, Lao Tong couldn't hold it back and said again: "Then, will we have a new emperor? I don't know who it is..."
Xia Zhaoyi paused slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to look at the gray sky outside the hall.
"Aren't you stupid? Ah Li said she wouldn't know, yet you still ask." Zhi Changle said.
"Can't I help but ask more questions?" Lao Tong replied.
Turning around, he saw the girl standing there, her little figure standing upright, holding a bowl in both hands, looking at the heavy rain outside, with an extremely rare and cold look on her face.
Lao Tong was stunned for a moment and wanted to call her, but couldn't.
Zhi Changle couldn't help but follow his gaze and look towards Xia Zhaoyi.
Xia Zhaoyi could hear the voices of the two of them.
For her, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. Her heart is in the mountains and the world is at ease. Even if the world is a furnace, she will save it if she can. But if she can't, she will not devote herself to it and dedicate herself selflessly.
However, anyone can be the emperor, but those people cannot be allowed!
Thinking of this, Xia Zhaoyi felt severe pain in her chest.
"Ali." Zhi Changle called softly.
Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath calmly, looked at them, and said, "I lost my temper because I thought of some unpleasant things. I'm going to cook something. If you want to eat, you can come over."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the fire.
Lao Tong and Zhi Changle looked at me and I looked at you, then looked back at Xia Zhaoyi, only to find that she was already fine, sitting there and starting to prepare the dishes.
It was really small, and its silhouette was almost obscured by the fire.
During the time we were traveling together, she showed that she was so capable and could do almost everything. She was not pampered, did not boss people around at will, treated people politely and appropriately, and never asked about their past, which made people feel generous and comfortable.
But if you look closely, you will see that she is still a girl after all, only as tall as their ribs.
After all, it must be the reason for the troubled times, which turned such a young child into this, and lost any innocence and childishness.
"These are troubled times." Lao Tong sighed.
………………
"Troubled times? Where is the chaos?" Zhao Ming raised his pen, looked at the map on the march map, and said, "If the heavy rain doesn't stop, we won't be able to escape very far even if we want to."
Several tall and burly soldiers stood around the table, looking at the march map above, everyone was very serious.
Military Advisor He Chuanjiang raised his hand and stroked his beard, not knowing what to say.
"I'm already in chaos," Yuan Tianqing raised his head and said, "General, we've run out of food and grass, and the imperial court didn't send anyone to supply us at all!"
"What do you think of these roads being fortified?" Zhao Ming looked as if he hadn't heard anything. He put his pen down on the map again and drew a circle.
