"Psssssssssssssss..." The bay-red horse let out a series of weak screams, and slowly knelt down on the ground. It would rather be injured than to catch the mistress on its back by surprise.
Dou Rong struggled to get out of the saddle, took out a handful of fried black beans with her hands, and put it on the bay red horse's mouth. However, the latter didn't even have the strength to eat, and slowly lowered his head, red tears dripping from his dry eyes.
Slowly sliding down from the corners of his eyes.
"I'll pull it up!" Han Qing jumped off the horse, hobbled to Dou Rong, and hugged the bay horse's neck with his hands. "Let it stand up and move around, maybe it can save its life..."
Before he finished speaking, the bay red horse had already closed its eyes. Its body slowly turned sideways and passed away with hatred.
"Big Red——" Dou Rong finally couldn't hold on any longer, hugging the horse's neck and crying loudly. However, in the blink of an eye, she decisively suppressed the cry back into her throat, shedding tears silently while starting to clean up the horse's back.
Food bag.
At this moment, Han Qing's mount and the two spare mules beside him were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth. Only the yellow gelding that Dou Sha was riding on still had the energy to carry the maroon horse's body on its head, trying to help the latter stand up again.
.
However, the muscles in its legs, abdomen and neck were trembling constantly, and it was obvious that it was at the end of its strength.
"Dou Sha, you take the yellow gelding and walk slowly nearby for a few steps, and then feed him some black beans with salt. I will find a pit and let the bay red horse bury it in peace." Han Qing raised his head and looked at the sky.
, commanded in a deep voice.
The sun is at least ten feet high from the top of the mountain in the west. In the past, Han Qing felt that it set too early every day, but today, he didn't understand why it set so late!
Only when the sun sets can they use the cover of night to find a cave to hide themselves, and then get a half-day or a whole day's respite.
It was like this every day for four days in a row.
The woman who calls herself Qinglian is haunting him like a ghost, and there are more and more helpers around her.
The two sides have fought three times, and Han Qing's side is far behind in terms of numbers and martial arts.
The reason why I can still run for my life now is partly because I secretly asked people to help me build new weapons such as muskets, short crossbows and boomerangs during my escape. They can always kill the woman in green and her minions at the critical moment.
Caught off guard.
On the other hand, it was because the woman in green had always wanted to capture the three of them alive, and then took out the secrets of sharp weapons such as muskets, boomerangs, and horse nails from his mouth for the Red Lotus Sect to use in the future.
To deal with the Song Dynasty official army.
Han Qing knew the plans of the woman in green.
In the previous two battles, he even deliberately took advantage of the Tsing Yi woman's thoughts and caused a series of casualties to the Red Lotus cultists around her.
However, when he was fighting a bloody path this time, he had already heard the obvious murderous intention in the woman in green's yelling and cursing.
He didn't dare to bet that next time the other party led the Red Lotus cultists to catch up with him, would the other party still want to capture him alive?! What's more, he didn't dare to bet whether the other party would kill the Dou family siblings?!
Therefore, he could only speed up his escape as much as possible in the hope that he would not be overtaken by the woman in green before the sun set every day.
As long as he can hold on until dark, his safety factor will instantly increase several times.
The night would cover him and the Dou siblings, and night blindness was very common among people in this era due to unbalanced nutritional intake. The more helpers around the woman in Tsing Yi, the less able she was to move at night.
In the winter wilderness, there is no cover from leaves and wormwood, so people can see very far during the day.
It only took Han Qing less than half a stick of incense to find a deep pit left after a big tree was uprooted by strong winds. He cut two arms-thick branches to make slide rails, and he tied the carcass of the maroon horse to the slide rails.
He went up and slowly pushed it down the hillside until he pushed it into the tree pit. Then he took some dead branches and covered the tree pit to prevent the bay-red horse from being exposed in the wilderness.
During the whole process, Dou Rong stood by and helped silently. Dou Sha, on the other hand, obediently fed the remaining two mules and two horses with salty black beans and clean water, and drove the four animals around to circulate blood.
.
Neither of the siblings urged Han Qing to continue on his way, because they all knew that if they could barely hold on, the remaining four animals would soon follow in the footsteps of the bay-red horse.
"If people from the Red Lotus Sect catch up again later, you take Dou Sha and go first. Let's meet near Tongshan Fort tonight." He covered the last section of branches on the tomb of the bay-red horse. Han
Qing turned her head and whispered instructions to Dou Rong.
"My little brother will leave on his own." Dou Rong immediately guessed his thoughts and decisively shook her head with tears in her eyes, "You promised that you would stay with me no matter what time!"
"I don't want to stay and fight alone!" Han Qing frowned and explained seriously, "I am worried that they will arrest you and Dou Sha to threaten me into submission. In addition, during the fight, I will not be alone.
It will be distracting.”
This was a ruthless statement, but it was basically in line with the facts. Dou Sha and Dou Rong were with him, and the help they could do was very limited, but they often needed his distraction to provide protection. To a certain extent, they seriously hindered him.
's hind legs.
However, Dou Rong knew him as well as she knew herself. She shook her head stubbornly and said softly: "I will find a way to trick my little brother into leaving by myself, and I will stay to help you. You don't need to distract me to take care of me, I can still throw him away."
I can wield throwing knives and wield swords. When I really have no strength, I will never let them catch me."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She raised her eyes, which were red from crying, and looked at Han Qing seriously, without any fear in her eyes.
Han Qing understood her heart from her eyes. He smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said no more meaningless nonsense.
Dou Rong was stunned for a moment, secretly glanced at Dou Sha, then simply closed her eyes, rested her head comfortably on his shoulder, and slowly adjusted her breathing.
The winter sunshine fell from the western sky, coating the two figures with a layer of warm gold. In an instant, the wind stopped, the clouds were calm, and the wilderness was as beautiful as an ink painting.
Han Qing knew that God was really kind to him.
The love that I have longed for but never had in my previous life, God has compensated me twice as much in this life.
The girl in my arms is not only able to sleep and fly with him, but she is also able to and is willing to live and die with him.
Han Qing silently swore in his heart that he would fight his way out no matter what today. Because he was no longer alone in this world.
The physical strength of both the host and the mount was slightly restored. Han Qing, Dou Rong, and Dou Sha continued to move forward while pulling the animals.
The sun still hung in the sky and had not set yet. The air was still bitingly cold. However, Han Qing's heart was full of warmth and fearless.
After walking for about half an hour, the sound of horse hooves came again from the mountain road behind me, anxious and messy.
There were at least thirty horses! During the long process of avoiding pursuit, Han Qing had learned to judge the approximate number of enemies by the sound of horse hooves.
"Let's all three get on our horses, we'll fight later. Dou Sha goes first, you and I will go last." He looked at Dou Rong with a smile, he ordered softly, and then jumped on a mule.
"Brother-in-law, let's go together..." Dou Sha protested loudly instinctively, but Dou Rong slapped the protest back in his stomach.
"Children must be obedient, otherwise, you will be asked to go home alone immediately!" Putting on an adult face, she raised her eyes and scolded. Then, she also jumped on a mule, holding a short crossbow, and Han Qing
Stand side by side.
"I'm not a child. You're not much older than me..." Dou Sha frowned and argued unconvinced. However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he decisively closed his mouth again.
He didn't need to protest, because the rapid sound of horse hooves also sounded on the mountain road ahead. A large group of men in black, accompanied by the thick smoke brought by the horse hooves, blocked their way.
"I am responsible for charging the formation, and you use crossbows and flying knives to help me interfere with the enemy forces on the left and right sides. Dou Sha, you are responsible for protecting your sister!" Han Qing obviously noticed the change in the situation, smiled, and quickly changed his mind.
Decide.
Now that you are desperate, give it a try!
Even if the sand is stained with blood tonight, at least I have fewer regrets than in my previous life!
"Han Lang, don't run away. Nunu chased you very hard." The voice of the woman in green quickly stood out from the sound of horse hooves, and it still sounded full of temptation.
Taking a deep breath, Han Qing held the spear firmly, turned his head, and pointed the tip of the spear behind him.
He was about to use words to stimulate the other party and ask him to have a duel with him, so as to see whether he could create a miracle and give Dou Rong and Dou Sha a chance of survival.
From the direction facing his horse's head, another woman's voice came, sounding mature and rich: "Inspector Han, don't panic, I'm Baize, by order of my second son, I'm here to help you out!
