Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

When Li Mu went on a business trip to Shaanxi in her previous life, she missed the opportunity to run a horse in Qinchuan for eight hundred miles due to her busy schedule from morning till night.

Xuancheng is located next to Wanling County, Danyang County. The distance of [-] miles is like a nightmare in an era without cars and planes, especially when there are so many people riding together.

The cavalry is in formation, and the horses are like thunder. It seems to be rolling and vigorous, as if carrying the power to break through everything. Follow and eat ashes!

What's more, Jiujiang County, which they had to pass through, was still the main place where Yuan Shu stationed troops.To avoid Yuan Shu's eyes and ears, and to rush on the road, you can't go on the big roads, and you can't enter some cities and towns. You can find some mountains, forests, wasteland, and shallow water trails. She thought in advance that her thighs would be worn out on the road, so she tied a cloth strip To reduce the friction, I didn't expect to be firmly guarded by the eight hundred elite riders in the middle of the team. It was completely different from her running in the lead on the grassland. People, shadows, horses and bodies can all be seen as a blur.

Li Muzheng was choked by the oncoming dust and flying stones, his head and face were covered with ashes, and he didn't dare to let go of the rein and use his hands to cover his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Yu approaching, and he only raised his head and squinted his eyes for a moment, and his eyes immediately Into the dust, there was a stabbing pain, which forced tears to flow, and vaguely heard Zhou Yu seem to say something, but the wind was whistling in his ears, and the hooves of the horses were rumbling. distinct.

Finally, the sky was getting dark and the flags were unfurled. The eight hundred cavalry in front spread out to both sides, and the rear troops reined in their horses. All of a sudden, the horses neighed, and the soldiers shouted one after another. The galloping troop changed from column to column. For the horizontal team, stopped.

Li Mu didn't see the command flag, but only saw the formation of the soldiers around him suddenly change. His heart froze, he thought that he would change his formation to meet the enemy when he encountered an enemy attack, so he hurriedly pulled the reins, but he was still a step behind. He rushed in the direction of the former army that had stopped.

The galloping cavalry has a great impact, and under the inertia of the horse's speed, it is most taboo to stop suddenly. As long as someone in the front army stops rashly and the rear team can't stop, the front team will be dispersed, and there will even be an accident. The tragedy of falling from a horse and being trampled on, the so-called cavalry is difficult to defend, because of this.

However, Gao Shun, the leader of the current team, did not order to stop and rest until the open place. The front army dispersed first, leaving a large buffer zone for the rear army. Even if the rear army did not have time to rein in their horses, they would not disturb themselves position.

So Li Mu rushed directly from the area vacated by the former army to the front, only to realize that it was not an enemy attack, but a rest time for letting the horses graze and drink water.

Sliding down from the horse's back, Li Mu carefully pulled his foot out of the rope ring, so as not to put his entire ankle in it and be dragged by the horse. He could not straighten up as if he was broken, and his legs felt light and limp when he took a step, and trembled so much that he could hardly walk.

After wiping her face, there were dirt particles in her eyes, and dirt particles in her mouth. Every movement of her body raised a cloud of dust. She didn't care about getting the dry food on the horse's back, and ran towards the water's edge unsteadily. and go.

All the horses rushed to the downstream, and the soldiers were not far away, but they were not in a hurry to drink water and wash, but immediately gnawed dry food on the spot after clearing the upstream.

Li Mu was the only one left lying on the edge of the water to rinse his mouth and wash his face, his eyes were red from rubbing but still stinging, he wished he could immerse his whole face in the water for a while.

"I'm just going to take a short rest here. There's not much time. After eating dry food, I'll wash. After the next rest, I'll be outside Xuancheng." Zhou Yu also pulled his horse to the water, and turned to see Li Mu washing his face. , couldn't help frowning and called her back.

Dusty and muddy is the most common thing when marching outside. Let alone taking a little rest now, giving the horses water and grazing to relax, even if there is enough time for her to wash off, and then run on the road, wouldn't she still be covered in dust?If you have time to wash your face, it would be better to sit down quietly and eat something to wrap your stomach. Even if you can free up your hands to pick up dry food when you are on the road, you can't swallow it on the bumpy horseback.

Hearing Zhou Yu's voice, Li Mu knew that what he said was right. At this time, it is most important to hurry up and eat. He wiped the water on his face and blinked vigorously, feeling that the stinging pain in his eyes had finally eased a lot. Only then did he turn around and answer, patted the water stains on the front of his clothes and stood up.

Zhou Yu walked closer and saw that Li Mu's eyes were red and the corners of the eyes were still a bit swollen, the tip of her nose was slightly red from soaking in the stream water, and the broken hair on her forehead was sticking wetly to the side of her face, covering her pair of vigorous and long eyebrows. Halfway there, the whole person suddenly felt a little weak and pitiful, and he couldn't help being taken aback.

"What are you looking at!" It's not that she didn't see the reflection in the water, so she naturally knew that she looked like she had been crying for three days and three nights. She was stared at by Zhou Yu, and immediately stomped her feet, "It's just being caught by the dust. If you lose your eyes, just rinse them with water!"

However, the eyelids were so swollen that this stare didn't have any momentum, so Li Mu could only cover his eyes with the back of his hand that was cold in the water.

However, just as the back of the hand was pressing on the eyes, Zhou Yu tore it off.

Li Mu only laughed at her as if he was still watching a good show, frowned, and subconsciously took a step back, staring at the red marks and blue marks on his face that could not be concealed by dust, and was about to shake off his hands, but suddenly There is one more thing.

In a daze, she tightened her hand, a white cloth bag——this cloth bag was familiar to Li Mu, and she also had one on her horseback, which was used to hold dry food.However, when I squeezed it with my hand, I felt a thick piece inside, about the size of a palm, which didn't seem like dry food.

Looking up, I saw Zhou Yu walking to the water's edge, took a piece of handkerchief from somewhere, soaked it in the water, twisted it up again, turned around and saw that she was holding the cloth bag still, she couldn't help shaking the water drops on her hand, and raised her hand. He raised his chin and pointed outward, smiled and said: "It's just right to avoid people here. If people see it, it will be hard to survive the reputation of sharing the joys and sorrows with the top and bottom soldiers."

Li Mu could hear the playful meaning in his words, but for a moment he didn't understand the name of sharing weal and woe.Looking around, I found that the river was not wide enough. Eight hundred horses rushed to drink water after galloping. The entire river was tightly blocked, like a big movable wall, separating her and Zhou Yu from the other soldiers who were resting. Unless you stood on tiptoe and looked this way, you might not see them at all. figure.

Suspiciously opening the cloth bag, he found that it contained a piece of dried meat.

The roasted rabbit's hind legs are cut open, patted with a layer of salt, and then pressed to dry in the air. No matter how hot the weather is, it can be stored for five or six days without spoiling.

In this era, salt was a luxury under the strict jurisdiction of the government. There were always private salt dealers colluding with officials and merchants to smuggle some out of the fried salt fields.And although this rabbit meat is not unusual, but when marching at full speed, they can have a mouthful of dry food because they have to graze the horses. It is impossible to have time to hunt and light a fire to eat a bite of meat.

"This..." Li Mu held a piece of jerky and looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The rays of the sun were like fire, spreading a layer of shining golden light on the water beside them, and then casting a piece of bright broken light in the girl's clear and dark eyes, and then reflecting his figure, mixed in a little bit of light. in the light.Zhou Yu had twisted the handkerchief to cover Li Mu's eyes, but now he was holding the half-wet handkerchief, but suddenly he didn't want to hand it out.

Perhaps this bright and light glow was too dazzling. Li Mu suddenly remembered vaguely that she drank too much wine last night, and the moonlight seemed to be so bright and beautiful in the mist. Who will send each other off?

His thoughts and mind suddenly froze, as if all his attention was on the breezy man in front of him, but he seemed to have drifted to some unreachable place.The heartbeat was pounding, and the sound of thumping pierced through the eardrums.

Why was she so out of her mind last time...

Li Mu's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized that his tendency to lose consciousness was too dangerous, so he quickly gathered his mind and turned his eyes away: "Cough...that...you asked me something when I just left the city before?"

The group of well-trained war horses behind them didn't hear any noise, only one or two snorts sounded, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground, and the occasional crisp sound of soldiers resting on the spot, setting off the gap between heaven and earth. In the room, it seemed that there were only the two of them left, and it was as quiet as a long stream of water flowing beside this body, gurgling and endless.

Zhou Yu's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer immediately. He just smiled lightly, handed the half-wet handkerchief to Li Mu, and pointed to his eyes with the other hand.

Li Mu blinked, and was about to say no, when a series of rumbles suddenly came from his stomach, which suddenly broke the tranquility and harmony.

She was so drunk last night that she didn't care to eat much, and she came out in a hurry this morning, so she hurriedly stuffed a pancake.Riding a horse is a physical effort, and apart from Feng Lin being able to free up his hand to drink water when he slowed down, his stomach was already empty throughout the day.It's just that when the horse was galloping, she was concentrating on it, her nerves were tense, and she didn't feel hungry at all. Now that she had a rest, before she recovered from the fatigue of galloping, Wu Zang Temple took the lead in protesting.

"Cough..." She rubbed her belly in embarrassment. In this way, she held the jerky in one hand and pressed her stomach in the other. Needless to say, she naturally couldn't spare her hand to pick up Zhou Yu's handkerchief.

"Haha..." Seeing the little girl's rare embarrassment, Zhou Yu laughed loudly, and the clear and sharp voice echoed in the sky, startling several water birds that perched on the dead wood on the water surface to drink water and peck fish. Hovered over the horses for a long time.

Li Mu was startled by him, his face darkened, and he blurted out: "What are you crazy about!" He quickly turned back to look at the horses.In her previous life, she had seen a herd of frightened and frantic horses on the grassland. The sound of their hooves shook the clouds, as if a mountain torrent was raging, and a huge wave was surging to the sky. The yurts of an entire tribe could be trampled down in their path!

There are eight hundred horses here!Moreover, all the soldiers hadn't mounted their horses yet, if the horses were frightened and ran away, even if they were brave enough to fall into the camp, they might not be able to retreat unscathed.

Fortunately, war horses are different from wild horses. Surprised by Zhou Yu's laughter, only a few horses shook their manes and turned their heads to look at them for a while. Most of them were still drinking water and grazing, without even raising their heads.On the contrary, Gao Shun, who was arranging the guards around the soldiers, looked over here. Looking at him, he seemed a little hesitant to come and have a look.

After a false alarm, Li Mu was frightened into a cold sweat, his heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to press his chest and patted it. He glanced at Zhou Yu: "The whole army is silent, it is a military order, if Gao Shun goes back to report you for not obeying the military order... I will not plead for you..."
