Rebirth of Tao Yao

Wen Ziran waited for the banquet in the cave for a whole night. The night was not very difficult, but it was not as easy as imagined.

The night in the forest was terribly silent, and Wen Ziran was alone here, with no one to accompany him and no bonfire to keep warm, only a few wild fruit and bird eggs that Yan Li found for her before leaving to satisfy her hunger.Besides, the only thing that can keep her company is the occasional howling of wolves from the mountains... She is not afraid, so she just sits at the entrance of the cave with her knees hugged, listening to the howling of wolves and waiting for dawn.

When dawn came, the sky broke, and the first ray of sunlight fell on her shoulders in the early morning, and the coldness disappeared, and the person she was waiting for came back.

Yan Li hastily jumped off the horse, and came to Wen Ziran with an eagerness that he himself hadn't noticed.Then he held his breath and focused his attention, letting his tone return to the usual calm before saying: "Zi Ran, I'm back."

Wen Ziran naturally heard it a long time ago. She stood up, but staggered because she kept one movement for a long time.Yan Li hurriedly supported her, and was about to ask a question, but Wen Ziran raised his arms and hugged her.

To be honest, Yan Li has never been so close to anyone, and the feeling of being full of arms is extremely strange to him.He raised his hand and didn't know how to react for a while, but he subconsciously didn't push the person away, and after a while he said, "Let me go first, I'm very dirty."

Probably because the first meeting left a deep impression, Yan Li always felt that Wen Ziran was quite clean.Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. It is normal for a girl to be clean, and people will dislike her sloppiness. However, the result of being too impressed is that every time Yan Li gets close to Wen Ziran, he will inevitably think about whether he is clean or not. Will be disgusted by Wen Ziran again... This is actually quite abnormal, but Yan Li himself didn't notice it.

Wen Ziran could already smell the strong smell of blood on Yan Li's body. In fact, since he came back from a trip to the city two days ago, his robe was already stained with blood.But at that time, compared with now, it really pales in comparison. At this moment, the bloody smell on Yan Li's body is so thick that it looks like he just fished it out of a pool of blood. I don't know how many barbarians he has contaminated in his hands that night. blood.

Girls should be afraid of these things, but Wen Ziran must not be among them.She obediently let go of Yan Li, but it wasn't because she disliked the smell on Yan Li's body, but she stretched out her hands to grope for Yan Li's body, and said worriedly: "Brother, are you injured?"

Wen Ziran did not forget that last night was Yan Li's first battle.She didn't know what Yan Li had experienced in the first battle in his previous life, but she remembered that when she was rescued from the general's mansion by him, Yan Li had injuries all over his body, and at that time he was really cold and stern like a lone wolf.It doesn't seem to be the case now, but Wen Ziran can't help worrying, especially the strong smell of blood on the other party stimulates her nerves.

Yan Li didn't react much until Wen Ziran's hand almost touched his chest, so he quickly reached out to stop him.Wen Ziran was vaguely aware of this change, but she was blind to see the discomfort on Yan Li's face, so she didn't have time to think about it, and then she heard Yan Li say: "I'm fine, just a little injury. Let's go back to the city now. It’s still too late to go back to the city and deal with it.”

Wen Ziran understood, and said with a little surprise: "Brother is really powerful, but the Huren prince has already been taken down by brother?" Without waiting for Yan Li's answer, he said again: "Then let's not delay any longer, now Let's go."

Everyone knows the truth of not delaying, especially since they just captured the barbarian prince alive, it is impossible for those barbarians to be unresponsive.So they need to rush back to the border town against time, hand over the barbarian prince to Yan Qing, and then how to deal with it after that is not something they, half-grown teenagers, can participate in the decision-of course, for them, the military achievements they have won is the most important.

****************************************************************************

Sometimes the situation changes only overnight, just like Yan Li turned upside down the barracks of the barbarians overnight, and kidnapped their prince, and the changes in the border towns are also dizzying.

The proprietress and Qin Yunshu had been hiding in the cellar for four or five days. There was still some dry food left, but no water.During this period, the two were careful not to show their heads too much, so although the restaurant was ransacked three times by barbarians, the two who hid in the cellar were always safe and sound... Although they were a little embarrassed, it was already a matter of life in such a situation. not easy.

For this, Qin Yunshu is grateful to the proprietress, but at the same time, she is inevitably saddened—if she had hoped that Wen Ziran, who was out of the city, could return to the city safely under the protection of Yan Li, but now she basically dare not repay her. hoped.After all, in the midst of the war, it would be good for the half-grown boy to keep his own life, so where would he have the spare energy to protect her Ziran?

The daughter who depended on each other may not be there anymore, Qin Yunshu couldn't help crying secretly every time he thought about it.But being sad is all about being sad, people still have to live, so after realizing that the water was gone, she wiped away her tears and suggested, "Ah Zheng, let me go up and get some water."

Those who run a restaurant naturally have a well in the yard, so even if the restaurant has been looted by barbarians many times, there will be no shortage of water if there is no food.It's just that it takes courage to go out under such circumstances, otherwise, if a bad guy bumps into a barbarian, the consequences can be imagined—especially for beautiful women like Qin Yunshu and the proprietress, who have fallen into poverty. In the hands of the barbarians, life is definitely worse than death!

Anyone else would definitely not be willing to take risks, but at this moment Qin Yunshu said this lightly, and the proprietress refused even more lightly: "Don't, I'll go. You delicate person from the south, I’m afraid I’ll be scared to death when I see blood, and I can’t even run when I meet a barbarian. Let me go, and you wait here.”

After saying this, the proprietress stood up, casually hanging down her stiff waist after sitting for a long time, and Qin Yunshu grabbed her arm when she was about to leave: "No, I'll go, your arm injury hasn't healed yet, how can you fetch water?" ?”

In the darkness, the proprietress's expression was a little stiff, because she hadn't confessed to Qin Yunshu that her hand was fine.But now that it's all over, there's nothing to hide about this, so she pushed Qin Yunshu's hand away and said, "It's okay, my hand is already healed, and I can fetch water." After she finished speaking, she paused, Added another sentence: "It's already done."

After the words fell, the proprietress had already walked to the exit of the cellar.She was not in a hurry to push the wooden board and climb up. Instead, she tilted her head and tried her best to put her ears on the wooden board, listening carefully to the movement on the ground.

Qin Yunshu froze on the spot for a while and still didn't come back to his senses - it's been over long ago, what has been over long ago?Is the proprietress' injury already healed?That being the case, why does she have to come and take care of her every day?Do you think it’s a disadvantage for you to pay yourself for nothing?But the proprietress is not like this!

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qin Yunshu suddenly became a little confused.

It was very quiet in the cellar, and the proprietress didn't pay attention to what Qin Yunshu was thinking at the moment. She stuck to the wooden board and listened for a while, but she didn't hear anything. She guessed that there should be no one outside, so she carefully pushed the wooden board a crack.After observing for a while, he carefully walked out with the water bag, and re-covered the wooden plank before leaving the woodshed.

For the proprietress, going out to fetch water is one aspect, but on the other hand, she also wants to come out to check the situation.After all, it is impossible for her and Qin Yunshu to hide in the cellar all the time, not to mention what will happen if the barbarians occupy the border town. If General Yan has driven the barbarians away, they are still hiding in the cellar to suffer, isn't it a joke? ?

So after fetching water, the proprietress didn't rush back to the cellar, but cautiously came to the gate of the backyard.She first secretly listened to the commotion on the street, and when she found the dead silence, she poked her head out to take a look, but before she could see the situation on the street clearly, a big hand suddenly appeared, pressing her head and pushing her away. Go back!

Even if the proprietress was bold, she was so frightened that she almost screamed at this moment, but she held it back in the end, her heart was still beating wildly.Then the next moment, she saw several vigorous figures rushing into the yard one after another... Fortunately, although these people's robes were stained with blood, they were not wearing Hu clothes, but the military uniforms of the defenders.

The proprietress pressed her heart and said in her heart: I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death!

The sergeant who pushed the proprietress back earlier also said in a low voice: "What are you looking at, are you dying?!"

It was the first time for the proprietress to be reprimanded like this and she didn't dare to refute. She turned her eyes to several people's faces and found that there were actually two familiar faces.Naturally, she didn't know her, but she must have eaten in her restaurant, so she felt relieved and asked, "I've been hiding for several days, and I don't know what's going on outside. Did General Yan drive the Hu people away?"

The faces of the sergeants were not very good-looking, and they were dark and depressed.

The proprietress is also a good person, she knew it was not good at first glance, her heart sank, and she heard someone hoarsely say in the next moment: "General Yan has been seriously injured and passed out, and now the defenders in the city are leaderless." After speaking, the voice was low again He scored two points: "And the King Yan who came to patrol the border seems to have fallen into the hands of the barbarians. It was a good situation, but now it can only be used as a trick."

The situation in the border town can be said to have been reversed overnight, obviously yesterday they were full of confidence that they could wipe out all the barbarians in the city!

The proprietress gasped after hearing this, and her face turned pale unconsciously.She doesn't care about the life and death of King Yan, but it is conceivable how noble the prince's status is, not to mention that something happened to General Yan... Her heart was gloomy, and she regretted that she had been hiding it with Qin Yunshu. It would be better to find an opportunity to escape from the border town, and now there is no way to escape if you want to.

Probably seeing the depression of the proprietress, a familiar sergeant sighed and said, "Okay, proprietress, you'd better go back and hide well. If you can hide for a while, it will be a while. This situation may change again at any time." .”

The last sentence is obviously consolation, but it is not easy to have such a consolation at such a time - at this time, the speaker and the obedient person did not expect that this weak consolation could actually come true.
