Mingwei sat on the hillside and looked up at the sky.
She looked at it very seriously, almost motionless.
Hou Liang continued to watch at first, but then he gave up when he found that his neck was stiff.
He slapped his forehead. He was stupid himself. What could he learn from an abnormal person?
So he twisted his neck and helped Duofu change his dressing.
"Miss Duofu, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Duofu thought for a while and said: "I want to go back to the village to see my parents..."
She was sold into the Ming Dynasty when she was a child. Mrs. Ming San gave her a lot of money, and her parents quickly used the money to build a new house.
I remember that when she first entered the Ming Dynasty, she missed home. She once asked my wife to go home to visit.
As a result, the family's first reaction when they saw her was to panic, and they repeatedly asked the grandma who sent her back if she had committed a crime and was kicked out, and whether they would be asked to pay back the money. When they heard that it was not the case, they were relieved.
Then he chased her and asked her what good things she had brought back...
Duofu never returned home again.
She hadn't thought about it for many years.
The madam and young lady were very kind to her, better than her family.
After hearing what she said, Hou Liang asked: "They don't like you, so you still want to go back to see them?"
Duofu said: "The lady said that if you hear the sound of one boot hitting the ground, you will always wait for the other boot to hit the ground. I have been waiting for this boot to drop for a long time, but I have always been afraid and dare not listen. Now I
Dare you."
Hou Liang tasted it carefully for a while and sighed: "This is a very profound statement."
With Hou Liang's help, he re-wrapped his arm injury. Duofu asked, "What about sir? Do you have any regrets?"
This question confused Hou Liang.
As early as when he was "killed" by Mingwei, he thought about his life. At that time, the most regretful thing in his heart was regret. In his early years, he was always aggrieved and felt that he was unlucky and had been harmed by others. Only then did he
Face yourself, and you are actually dying step by step.
But now, he thought for a long time and just said: "If I can still live, I want to be a good person."
Duofu smiled.
"What are you laughing at, girl?"
Duofu said: "If sir can really survive, he won't be a good person."
Hou Liang was unconvinced: "Why not? I've done pretty well this way, right?"
Duofu said seriously: "Sir, you are already so old. How you do things has become a habit. No matter how much you change, you will not become a person like Mr. Ning."
"..." Hou Liang sighed, "Miss Duofu, you have changed all of a sudden!"
Duofu blinked: "I haven't changed! I'm just telling the truth."
It's true that he is telling the truth, it's just that Duofu before was not so open to poking people's hearts.
Mingwei no longer looked at the sky, she was peeling bamboo.
Duofu walked over and asked, "Miss, are you making crossbows?"
Mingwei raised his head and smiled: "What are you doing making crossbows?"
"Of course..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingwei had already inserted the piece of bamboo pole into the soil, then put his ear up and listened carefully.
Duofu stood around for a while and asked, "Miss, what are you doing?"
"This is listening to the sound in the distance." Hou Liang came over and said, "We have to be very close to hear the sound of horse hooves, but if we are underground, we can hear it very clearly."
Duofu also lay down to listen, and sure enough he heard a faint rumbling sound.
"Are they very close? You can hear them so clearly!"
Mingwei said: "It's nothing close, it's just that it's spread more clearly underground."
"Eh!" Duofu said confused, "Miss, why do I hear it? There seem to be two voices? One is closer and the other is further away?"
Mingwei was startled, then lay back and continued listening.
Sure enough, the sound of horse hooves rumbled continuously, as if there were two levels.
She listened quietly for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. Hou, maybe we really won't die."
Hou Liang was overjoyed: "Girl, have you got an idea?"
Mingwei picked up another piece of bamboo and started peeling it.
Hou Liang was confused by her: "What is the girl doing?"
Ming smiled slightly: "Make a kite."
…
"The scouts heard the sound of horse hooves ahead and judged that those people are less than half a day's journey away from us. Their goal is very clear. The person you are looking for, sir, should be on this road."
"Where is the specific location?"
"This...hasn't been found yet."
Yang Shu frowned and thought for a while: "A thousand Huqi, right?"
"yes."
"Let's go! Let's go up to you!"
General Xiang opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to remind him: "Mr. Yang, these are the elite cavalry of the Hu people. We can't defeat them head-on..."
Yang Shu was surprised: "You think I think you can beat me? You're thinking too much!"
"..." Xiang General swallowed back his blood, "But if you say you're going to fight me, you'll start a war if you're not careful!"
Yang Shu stopped answering and turned around and shouted: "Axuan, raise the flag higher!"
Ah Xuan agreed and ordered the flag-bearers: "Young Master, please lift it up a little higher, haven't you eaten yet? You have already carried it, and the flag cannot fall down while a person is alive!"
All the sergeants looked indifferent, thinking, I am also an elite member of the right army. I haven't fought many big battles and have seen too many small conflicts. You still don't understand this? You have never seen a barbarian, but you shout with dignity...
Thinking this in my heart, I had to give it a try on my face, so I tied the flags tighter one by one.
As soon as Ah Xuan finished shouting, he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye. He took a closer look and was pleasantly surprised: "Sir, look over there! Kite, there is a kite!"
Yang Shu looked up and saw a kite floating in the sky. It looked a bit ugly, gray and looked like a rag, but it was definitely a kite!
He whispered: "Found it..."
…
When Yang Shu saw the kite, Su Tu also saw it.
"Brother Qi, is that Miss Ming?"
Su Tu looked up at the kite, swimming freely under the clear sky: "It can only be her. Only women from the Central Plains like this thing."
Nasu asked again: "Could it be that she deliberately misled us? In fact, she has already run away?"
"It makes no sense." Su Tu said, "She will definitely not be able to outrun us."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Central Plains people use kites not only for playing, but also to convey messages. Could it be that she is conveying messages to others?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came running over: "Prince! There is an enemy situation! We heard the sound of horse hooves, and there may be Qi troops in front!"
Nasu was shocked: "Is the army from the Central Plains coming to pick her up?"
Su Tu sneered: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, we must take her back today! So what if Liang Zhang sends someone to pick her up? Can the army of Northern Qi beat our barbarian warriors?"
"Can't beat him!" his bodyguard replied loudly.
"Very good!" Su Tu waved, "Let's go on!"
Even if Liang Zhang came to pick her up in person, he would not let this woman leave the grassland safely!
Qianqi kept his head down and ran wildly, but after a while, the kite was right in front of him.
Then Su Tu saw the woman who hated him to the core. She was sitting on a slightly higher hillside, smiling and watching Hou Liang, who was covered in rags, flying a kite. (To be continued)
