life in ancient gods

Chapter 86 Night Thoughts

On the eighth day of the tenth month of the third year of Yongtai, on the winding mountains in the wilderness of the Liao Kingdom.

It was the end of autumn, the wind was howling, the sun was setting, and a vast white mist filled the sky over the mountains.

A young man in a green robe was leaning against a poplar tree, breathing heavily.

The young man's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he was holding a blood-stained Qingfeng sword in his hand. The blood on the sword had dried up and condensed together.

This young man was none other than Su Ping'an who rushed to the northern border with Ye Chenli and his party.

When Su Ping'an, Ye Chenli and his group came to the northern border, it was already dark, and they were looking for a place to camp by a stream in the woods.

But unexpectedly, a large black mass of Liao cavalry suddenly sprang out from the woods.

The group of them rushed left and right, only listening to horses neighing and people mourning, and they did not know how many Liao cavalry were killed. However, due to the huge disparity between the two sides' soldiers and horses, the enemy's soldiers and horses seemed to be in a constant stream, and they were in the dark night where they could not see their fingers. They couldn't even identify their direction, and they were quickly dispersed by Liao's iron cavalry.

Su Pingan beheaded three Liao cavalry in a row, and fled desperately all the way, in a panic.

Riding a black horse and losing his way in the dusk, in this uninhabited wilderness, he unknowingly arrived at the border of Liao Kingdom.

He took off his bright light armor, put it in his storage, and changed into a green robe.

When passing through this mountain, his mount was also severely exhausted from running all night, foaming at the mouth and falling down under the mountain.

He spent 1 taels of silver to buy this black horse. It was a good horse for thousands of miles. He accompanied him all the way, but unexpectedly, he died of exhaustion here, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

Now he is sore and exhausted, and there is only one last sesame pancake left in the storage. This wilderness is simply a wilderness adventure.

Moreover, he is now in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and he may be chased and killed by the Liao Kingdom's iron cavalry at any time.

The setting sun shone on his sword, giving it a faint reddish glow.

My stomach was growling with hunger. Although I still had a few sesame flatbreads in my storage, I had finished drinking the water.

There is no water to drink now. I am so thirsty that I can't even swallow a bite of the cake.

The air is very dry, and there is an unmistakable earthy smell in the mouth. There is no stream nearby, and the grass and trees on the mountains are all dry and yellow. Except for a few crows and sparrows flying in the sky from time to time, there is not even a rabbit on the mountain. .

After wandering around the mountains for a while, I didn't find any water. I looked up at the sunset with a melancholy look on my face. I sighed and muttered to myself: "Hey, this place where birds don't poop, is it possible that I'm going to be thirsty to death?" Can you die?"

Then he thought again: "No, I want to live. Anyway, the black horse is dead. If I can't, I will drink horse blood and eat horse meat. I have to find a way to survive."

Thinking like this, he walked down the mountain and squatted down next to the black horse that fell to the ground dead. He looked at the black horse with its eyes closed tightly and white foam flowing from the corners of its mouth. He stroked the long hair on the black horse's sideburns. .

Then, he took out a wine gourd containing wine from the portable warehouse, and cut a hole in the neck of the black horse with the Qingfeng sword in his hand, and blood gushed out immediately.

He quickly put the prepared wine gourd on the bloody neck of the black horse, and soon, the blood of the black horse filled the wine gourd

"This... How do you drink it..." He glanced at the blood in the wine gourd, lowered his head and sniffed it, the taste was really not good, "Hey, no matter how much..."

The first time I drank blood, I still drank horse blood, but there was no way, survival was the most important thing.

He pinched his nose, raised his neck, and took a sip. He felt that the horse's blood was still warm, and a mouthful of bloody smell hit his face.

"Gudong, Gudong..." After three sips, I wasn't thirsty anymore. My sleepiness seemed to be getting better, and my stomach wasn't that hungry anymore.

Holding the wine gourd, he drank all the remaining horse blood in one go, then filled the wine gourd with blood and put it aside.

Su Ping'an had been awake all day and night, feeling sleepy and tired all over.

After drinking the horse blood in the wine gourd, the sky was getting dark, so he lay casually on the grass, holding the back of his head with his hands, watching the bright full moon and stars in the night sky.

He took out a piece of white jade pendant with a warm color from his waist, raised his hand to lift the jade pendant into the air, and overlapped the jade pendant and the full moon in front of his eyes.
