Worried about being seen, they had no choice but to travel at night. It had already been three days and they were only halfway through the journey.
As time went by, they became more and more cautious, because they felt that General Zhenxi might have begun searching for traces of him all over the world.
"We have to speed up. I hope I can jump out of the encirclement before the whole country is mobilized... Huh?!"
Just when he was feeling anxious, Zhang Baoer's eyes suddenly lit up because he suddenly discovered on the map that there was a land of hundreds of miles of uninhabited land in front of him.
"God is really helping me..."
Looking at Dongfang Yubai, Zhang Baoer smiled and did not let the Unicorn stop.
However, two hours later, Zhang Baoer's face fell because he discovered why there was no human habitation here - this was a land of salt.
This is a basin. It used to be a huge saltwater lake, but later the water dried up for unknown reasons, so the bottom of the lake became a salt land.
After making this discovery, Zhang Baoer did not dare to move forward. He was afraid of encountering people collecting salt on the road. This basin was too flat to avoid.
So he had no choice but to turn his horse's head and leave the salt land.
Countless years later, Zhang Baoer will feel lucky that he is here. At this time, he turned the horse's head, because when he and the rhinoceros were about to fall asleep, Yanxin, who was responsible for daytime vigilance and food search, suddenly hurried over and told Zhang Baoer:
"Sir, there are a few beggars on the other side of the mountain fishing for tadpoles in the puddles... Should we move to a place farther away, or should we let Mr. Erha scare them away?!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer got up and glanced around, finding that the area was bare and there were only some trees here for hiding.
After thinking for a while, he said to Yanxin:
"They are already pitiful enough... Like this! You disguise yourself, give them some food and spiritual stones, and find a reason to let them leave!"
"good!"
Yanxin nodded and left.
Seeing Li Bai preparing to smoke the hare he had just hunted, Zhang Baoer shuddered thinking of Li Bai's craftsmanship. He walked over with a wry smile and asked him to pick up dry firewood, and then squatted down to handle it himself.
A few minutes later, intermittent sounds came from behind the mountain on the opposite side. Due to the distance, wind and the sound of burning firewood, it was difficult to hear clearly.
"Um?!"
Zhang Baoer frowned, feeling that the voice was a bit familiar, and quickly listened.
After a while, he shook his head and laughed to himself for making such a fuss. How could someone he knew come so far to be a beggar?
Ten minutes later, the work at hand was over, and Li Bai could leave the rest to Li Bai. He took out the kettle, stuck it on the branch of the tree, with the mouth of the pot facing down, and the water flowed down. He began to wash his face and face.
The smell of smoke in the nostrils.
"call!"
After washing up, he breathed a long sigh of relief. For people with a sensitive sense of smell, being smoked is many times more uncomfortable than ordinary people. Now that he was clean, he used his inner strength to take a long breath and spit out the aftertaste in his lungs. He felt
The whole person became clear.
At this moment, Yanxin, who was wearing armor and a helmet, rushed back with a bang and told Zhang Baoer that the matter had been taken care of and that those people were easy to talk to and had left.
Zhang Baoer smiled and didn't say anything. Yanxin continued to talk, saying that those people's accents were very similar to people from the Three Kingdoms. But when he asked, those people looked frightened and hurried away after saying no.
.
"Um?!"
Just as Yanxin was about to take off his armor, Zhang Baoer, who was wiping his hands, suddenly reached out and pulled his hand over.
The words were unclear and he let him sniff, but then, he found that Zhang Baoer's expression changed, becoming a combination of surprise and fear!
"grown ups……"
Yanxin was stunned and was about to ask, but found that Zhang Baoer was missing.
He turned around quickly and saw that Zhang Baoer had appeared several feet away. His body was blurred because he was too fast.
"What's wrong?"
Li Bai, who had just added firewood, came over and asked, but saw the one-legged horse lying on the ground sleeping suddenly jumped up.
"Hoo ho!"
Maybe it was awakened by Zhang Baoer. It looked around and saw Zhang Baoer's back disappearing on the top of the mountain opposite.
Bang bang bang...
It quickly chased after him.
"Walk!"
Yan Xin and Li Bai looked at each other, nodded and chased after them.
…………
"etc!"
Seeing an old man with rags and ragged hair, two women, and four children, a total of seven people, eating the meat given by Yan Xin, slowly and staggeringly walked away, Zhang Baoer
Suddenly my heart felt like a knife, and I couldn't help shouting.
"Run!"
After those people saw him, they immediately sped up and started running. Although their speed was very slow, they were still running firmly...
The only old man did not run away. He held his crutch and turned back, as if to stop him. He was very afraid that his old body was trembling, but he did not retreat, let alone put down his crutch...
"He is trying to fight me desperately..."
Suddenly, Zhang Baoer's eyes became wet, and he stopped, three feet away from the old man.
He glanced at the women and children who were running without looking back and getting up without saying a word even if they fell. His soul suddenly collapsed. He cried and shouted:
"It's me! It's me..."
Seeing Zhang Baoer's appearance, the old man was suddenly startled, but he had no intention of putting down his crutches.
The reason why Zhang Baoer kept repeating "It's me" was because his mind was confused and he forgot how to speak for a while.
Fortunately, when the sound of the unicorn running reached his ears, he suddenly woke up and realized that these people had not seen his "human" appearance.
So he shouted heartbreakingly:
"Hulu tribe, Yunshang tribe, Cai'er..."
Hearing this, those running people stopped one after another, turned around with eyes full of disbelief, and stared blankly at Zhang Baoer, who was crying like a man in tears.
Zhang Baoer kept talking and asked loudly:
"Where are the others?! Where is Cai'er?! Tell me, where is Cai'er!!!"
Dang dong!
The old man could no longer hold the crutch in his hand and let it fall to the ground. The old man then knelt down and burst into tears.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Yan Xin and Li Bai stopped at the same time.
The unicorn stopped next to Zhang Baoer and rubbed his back curiously.
Zhang Baoer didn't pay attention, and was pushed forward a few steps by it. Zhang Baoer didn't stop, and just came to the old man like "walking drunkenly" and said:
"I am...ah grunt!!!"
"Wow!"
The old man stopped crying with a look of disbelief on his face. The three children behind him let out a cry of grievance and ran towards him.
The two women and the older child did not cry loudly. They all knelt down like the old men.
"Ah Guru!"
"Woooooooo..."
"Ah Gulu, Gulu..."
The three children stumbled over and were hugged tightly by Zhang Baoer who squatted down...
Zhang Baoer hugged the child and shouted anxiously to the old man:
"Where's Cai'er? Where are the others?!"
"The clan leader was locked up...the others...died...died..."
Hearing this, the big stone in Zhang Baoer's heart suddenly fell. Although it was not right to feel the big stone in his heart at this time, but when he heard that Cai'er was just locked up and not dead, he couldn't help but do this...
He didn't speak and held those children quietly. He couldn't remember these people, but he remembered the smell on their bodies...
From this moment on, for a long time, the world seemed to have stopped, and there was only the sound of hugging and crying...
After a long time, they stood up, Yan Xin was carrying the old man on his back, Li Bai and a woman were supporting another woman with an injured toe, the twelve or thirteen-year-old child was holding the old man's crutch, and Zhang Baoer was holding the unicorn horse.
Three children on horseback.
After a while, they returned to the camp. Zhang Baoer asked Yan Xin and Li Bai to heal their injuries, while he himself went to cook and took out all the food from the space ring.
Time continued to pass, and the children looked at Zhang Baoer bringing over a plate of exquisite food as if he was offering a treasure. Their eyes almost popped out of their eyes but they did not reach out to take it.
"Eat it!"
Zhang Baoer looked at them with soft eyes and asked them to eat first. After that, he turned around and continued to fuck.
Originally, he planned to cook twenty or thirty dishes in one go, but he stopped after only seven, because no matter how hard he tried to persuade them, those people just wouldn't reach out... So he had to stop and eat with them.
Seeing Zhang Baoer holding a piece of meat, they reached for the food. Zhang Baoer sighed. He didn't expect these people to be so stubborn. They were so hungry and still had to wait for him.
He knew that this was the custom there, because life there was not easy, and if there were not all the people there, no one would be able to eat...
Although Zhang Baoer was eating from beginning to end, he ate very slowly, but he also ate very happily...
Seeing this, Yan Xin and Li Bai also held back. After each eating a piece of meat, they went to prepare their own portions.
Only the unicorn stayed there shamelessly, swallowing a piece of meat offered by the children from time to time.
The three adults and the eldest child did not eat as fast as the children, because their tears would keep flowing down, but they were also as happy as the children, because they finally... found it.
…………
In the General's Mansion in Zhenxi, General Lu Ao was having a meal. He had a big appetite and had to eat for five people at a time, so the big table in front of him was filled with delicacies for forty or fifty people.
Although there was someone else in the room, he did not speak because the other person was the 'Master' next to him.
If outsiders saw the situation in the room, their eyes would be widened, because the master was not trembling, or even kneeling. He was standing aside holding the wine bottle, and his hand was very steady. Whenever the general's wine glass
When it's empty, he'll fill it up.
After a long time, the general took the white cloth handed over by the master with great satisfaction and wiped his mouth, then put his hand into the wooden basin brought by the master, washed it, and then was wiped dry by the master...
Then, the general leaned on his chair and said slowly:
"Has anyone arrived?"
"Go back to the general... no, go back to your majesty. They have already arrived at the agreed place."
