Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

Yu Qiao picked the rabbit body clean in her hand.Wrap the best part of the meat in leaves and throw it at Yan Ci's feet.

Another half of the rabbits were taken down and left for the driver.Took the other half of the rabbit stand myself.Randomly nibbling.

Although it was midsummer and the heat was strong, the forest was quite cool because of the luxuriant leaves. At this moment, Yan Ci was wearing a single gauze gown, and he felt neither hot nor cold, very comfortable.

Na Yuqiao glanced at Yan Ci and said, "Did your lord bring any other clothes?"

Yan Ci nodded slightly, and said, "The old servant at home knew that he was going to Languan, and he had to pass a big snowy mountain, so he packed up a big thick cloak. He also tied up some other thick clothes in the carriage."

Yu Qiao smiled and nodded, "That's good. I saw that the driver's brother also has thick blankets to keep out the cold. In a few days, we will be at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. If we go further in the next two days, it will get colder and colder. "

After Yan Ci ate some hot rabbit meat, he felt very comfortable in his heart and stomach, so he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped his hands and said, "What about Brother Yuqiao? I don't think you brought anything to keep out the cold." When the time comes, you should wear mine."

Seeing that Yan Ci had eaten well, Yu Qiao reached out and threw a water bag at hand and said, "Master Yan is kind, Yu Qiao appreciates it, but looking at his skeleton, I should not be able to wear his clothes."

Yan Ci had just taken a sip of water, and when he heard Yu Qiao say this, he almost choked. He himself was quite thin, and in the past few days, he spent every day with Du Zijin.

Although Du Zijin never said it clearly, he still remembered that night when the two were together, Du Zijin only pinched his wrist and said, "Ah Ci is thin, but this wrist is thinner than mine by a circle or two. "At that time, Yan Ci was upset for a long time.

Now I heard Yu Qiaofu mention it again.Yan Ci was embarrassed and anxious with Yu Qiao.Human temper is better left to those who are not angry with themselves.

Yan Ci coughed lightly, and his face flushed red because he remembered that day and Du Zijin's first test of Yunyu.

But because there was a fire next to him, Yu Qiao didn't think much about it, she just said, "My lord, it's true, a man of seven feet tall, how come he looks like a woman. It doesn't matter if he is fair, but he looks so thin."

Suddenly someone poked a sore spot in Yan Ci's heart, and he only came out with a very rude appearance, and said, "The family is poor. I have a little money, and I want to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Unlike Brother Yu Qiao, who catches rabbits every day and eats Tall and fat."

Yu Qiao and Yan Ci have been together for so long, and it is rare to see him lose his temper, but seeing Yan Ci now seems slightly annoyed.

But that beautiful white and tender face deliberately made a rude appearance, just like an eight or nine-year-old girl who is angry, not only does not make people afraid, but also gives birth to some cuteness, Yu Qiao just He smiled and said, "My lord, this is wrong. As the saying goes, money is a bastard, earn it after you spend it. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are not as real as cooking cakes."

Yan Ci was amused by Yu Qiao, and said, "Brother Yu Qiao has also studied, why did the pen, paper and inkstone hear what he said, so sad."

Yu Qiao laughed loudly, and said, "I used to study, and thought that life should be self-denying and polite, gentle and refined. Now that I have a knife, I think life should be happy and kind, and happiness is the best."

Seeing Yu Qiao's happy smile, Yan Ci didn't say much anymore, but after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that it made sense. Yan Ci smiled, looking at the flickering fire in front of him, only thinking about it.

If one passes through the snow-capped mountains, one can reach Languan in less than three days. The barren land there is difficult for grain to grow, but one does not know how to make the land produce more grain.

Yan Ci was sweeping the ashes beside the fire with a branch, when suddenly Yu Qiao's expression darkened, and she said, "I'm afraid something happened to the coachman brother. You haven't come back for so long."

When Yan Ci heard the words, his hands trembled in fright, and he couldn't help asking worriedly, "Then brother Yuqiao, please go to the river to have a look."

Na Yuqiao shook her head and said, "It's too late. If I go, I'm afraid I'll fall into someone else's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. My lord will be in danger. If the coachman is fine, I don't have to go. If there is something wrong, I will go too late. Be careful, my lord." -"

Before Yan Ci could react, he was carried in Yu Qiao's arms.With a light tap of his toes, he leaped up a tall tree several feet high.

For a moment, the sound of swords colliding was a mess, and Yan Ci couldn't help being surprised. If the opponent was coming towards him, then he was hiding in the tree at the moment.

Who are the two groups of people fighting each other on the ground?Could it be... They just made an appointment with each other, and they were caught up by themselves.In fact, these two people have nothing to do with me?

After thinking about it, he felt that this must be the case, and his face showed a look of um, it must have nothing to do with me, what are these people doing, why are they fighting for nothing.

Yu Qiao was watching the fight between the two people below, and felt that the problem was not serious, so she turned around to look at Yan Ci beside her.

I saw Yan Ci's expression of a living Bodhisattva, almost the expression of jumping off a tree and fighting among the crowd.

Yu Qiao smiled softly, "Did you see that those people with the golden belts around their waists belonged to His Royal Highness? They have been following Your Excellency, but they have been hiding in the dark in order not to scare Your Excellency. Now someone spends Paying a big price and taking the life of an adult. Therefore, they will come out at this time."

Yan Ci's expression changed in an instant, and at this moment he was simply stupefied. Yu Qiao only looked at it funny, and didn't say much anymore, but simply told Yan Ci the current situation, "Don't worry, it should be cleaned up within a quarter of an hour. gone."

Sure enough, Yan Ci stared wide-eyed for a while, only to see corpses scattered all over the place, and the people Yu Qiao said, Du Zijin's people also returned to the dense forest by themselves, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yu Qiao supported Yan Ci, stood on top of a tall tree, shook her head and cursed, "This group of people is annoying, why did they kill someone, and they didn't even help clean up the corpse, so we can't rest here anymore. "

Yan Ci was still stunned in a shocked expression. Hearing what Yu Qiao said, he couldn't help but come to his senses, and asked, "Those people who wear gold belts around their waists. It seems...it seems to pick you up for me." The rabbit meat was taken away."

Yu Qiao paused, grinned, and said, "My lord adapts quickly, so I can focus on other things so quickly."

Yan Ci smiled slightly, "It's okay, not too fast."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Yu Qiao flew back to the ground with Yan Ci. At this moment, Yan Ci was picking up the water bag beside the fire while Yu Qiao was picking up the dead bodies on the ground. Qiao frowned and said, "It's strange, it's not from the Seventh Prince."

After a pause, Yan Ci thought of Su Ce whom he had met in the past two days, and he heard Yu Qiao ask, "Except for the Seventh Prince, there should not be many others who want to take your life. Your Excellency should be aware of it."

Yan Ci handed the water bag to Yu Qiao, and suddenly asked, "Brother Yu Qiao, after you fished me out of the rice vat at the inn that day, have you ever met another official?"

Yu Qiao thought for a while, and said, "It never happened before. I fished you out, and found a random room to lie down. I didn't care about anything else. What's the matter, isn't there someone with you? "

Yan Ci shook his head slightly, and said, "Because of some previous reasons, I made someone unhappy, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to make it easier for me."

Yu Qiao nodded slightly.Said, "So that's the case, don't worry, my lord. I'm here, so nothing will happen to your lord..."

Yan Ci nodded, but suddenly thought of something, he couldn't help turning around in a hurry, and said, "Brother Coachman. Brother Yuqiao, where is Brother Coachman?"

Yu Qiao also suddenly remembered, and pulled Yan to resign, "Follow me..."

The two walked and ran all the way, and when they came to the creek, they saw that the coachman had lost his breath, the knife wound on his neck was deep enough to see the bones, and Yan Ci was silent.Yu Qiao was afraid that he would be sad, so she comforted him, "Everyone has his own destiny, sir, don't be too sad."

Yan Ci sighed softly, and asked a little angrily, "Those people, why didn't they show up? Aren't they always there?"

Yu Qiao patted Yan Ci's shoulder lightly and said, "They are ordered to protect your lord's safety, and they won't show up easily until the last moment. Your lord must understand their difficulties."

Yan Ci slowly closed his eyes, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart, and said, "Brother Yuqiao, can you help me bury the driver, I don't want him to stay in this wilderness after death, unable to enter the soil. "

Yu Qiao nodded slightly, "It's not a problem."

After burying the coachman's body, Yu Qiao saw that Yan Ci seemed to be in a bad mood, and said, "The snow-capped mountains are difficult to travel, and the carriage will definitely fail. My lord will pick some fresh fruits with me. If it is difficult to light a fire on the snow-capped mountains, I will trouble you to eat them." The fruit fills the hunger."

Yan Ci knew that Yu Qiao wanted to comfort her, so she couldn't be more dull, so she smiled wryly at Yu Qiao. Yu Qiao knew that he had never seen such a murderous scene before, and she understood it very well. Yan Ci put the matter aside.So he led Yan Ci to shuttle through the forest.

On the edge of denser forests, there will always be some clusters of fruit trees.Yu Qiao found some fruits and pointed them to Yan Ci, "Your Excellency, look at this one. Although the fruit is bright red and beautiful, it is poisonous, but the half-green fruit next to it is edible."

As Yu Qiao spoke, she took off two of them, wiped them on her body, took a bite first, grinned sourly, and then handed one to Yan Ci, saying, "My lord, try it."

Yan Ci took it, took a bite, and said. "It's really sour..."

Yu Qiao smiled and said, "Everything in this world is spiritual. Today, my lord and I are lucky enough to eat these two fruits, which are also a gift from God. Let the sour ones be sour. Help me, my lord, let's pick some Go back and save it for the road to eat."

As Yu Qiao spoke, she carefully pointed out the characteristics of these fruits to Yan Ci. Yan Ci was smart, and soon he could tell which fruits were edible by himself. After a while, the two embraced each other.Walk slowly towards the carriage.
