Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1658
Can we go back before dark?

Everyone looked up at the sky, but no one spoke for a while, because they were not sure whether they could go back before dark.

Why didn't Su Cheng follow?
Now that Princess Zhenzhu has the answer in her heart, Su Cheng must have thought of this with his intelligence, so he must have stopped after running for a while.

"Su Cheng must have thought of this a long time ago, so he didn't follow up!" Princess Zhenzhu said softly, biting her silver teeth slightly.

Since Su Cheng thought of this a long time ago, but didn't tell her, isn't it to see her embarrassing?
Cheng Chumo and the others couldn't help nodding their heads after hearing what Princess Zhenzhu said. They felt that what Princess Zhenzhu said made sense, and Su Cheng probably expected this a long time ago.

For a while, they also began to slander in their hearts. Since Su Cheng had expected it, he didn't even tell them. It's really unreasonable.

In fact, not to mention whether they could hear Su Cheng calling them or not, even if they did, they probably wouldn't stop.

Because Cheng Chumo and the others were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, so would they care about other things?

Mengsa Chijiang pondered and said: "Now the horses are exhausted, we can't rush back immediately, we must stop to rest the horsepower, there is also green grass here, let the horses graze and rest for a while?"

Chang Sun Chong also nodded and said, "That's right, the horses are exhausted, and it would be less efficient for us to return immediately. If the horses are exhausted on the way, then we can only walk back with our legs!"

Li Zhen, Li Chongyi, and Cheng Chumo all nodded in agreement. It would be the best policy to stop and let the horse rest.

Although Wang Qingyun was in a hurry to go back, he was not so anxious that he lost his mind. He also understood what everyone said. The horse was extremely exhausted and really needed to rest.

Wang Qingyun nodded and said: "Then we will stay here and let the horses rest!"

Everyone got off their horses, and led their horses to the green grass in the distance.

Cheng Chumo and the others looked at me and at you, but they never thought that there would be a day when they would let their horses go.

They were very glad that it was not winter. If it was winter, wouldn't they freeze to death if they stayed in the wild?And there is no grass for the horses to eat in winter.

After running for sixty or seventy miles, the horses were tired and hungry, so they ate the grass with big mouthfuls.

Seeing the war horse eating so happily, Cheng Chumo and the others couldn't help drooling.

Because the sun had already reached the top of their heads, and the horses were galloping all the way, although the horses under their crotches were the most tiring, but they themselves were also exhausted, and their stomachs began to growl at this time.

Cheng Chumo touched his growling stomach and turned around and asked, "Did you bring dry food?"

Yuchi Baolin said speechlessly: "It's not an expedition, and it's not going out to hunt. Who will bring dry food?"

None of the people brought dry food, because there are canteens both at the train station and on the construction site, so there is no need to bring dry food.

Chang Sun Chong asked: "I didn't bring any dry food, so did you bring any water? I'm so thirsty now, it's fine if I can drink some water!"

"Who still brings water when going out? We are thirsty too!"

Cheng Chumo and the others shook their heads in unison, they really didn't bring any water.

But not everyone did not bring water. Although Princess Zhenzhu and Mengsa Chijiang did not bring dry food, they brought water. Because the plateau is sparsely populated, they are used to carrying dry food and water.

However, after coming to Datang, Chang'an is so prosperous, they don't have the habit of bringing dry food, after all, there are restaurants everywhere, isn't it delicious to eat a big meal in a restaurant?

But they still habitually carry a cowhide water bag. If Su Cheng is thirsty now, they will take it out for Su Cheng to drink without hesitation.

But Cheng Chumo and the others were the ones who were thirsty, so the two of them hesitated. Although there were no such strict defenses for men and women on the grassland, they still felt awkward giving water to other men with their own water bags.

In fact, even if Princess Zhenzhu and the others took out the water, Cheng Chumo and the others were too embarrassed to drink it.

It’s okay if you don’t talk, the more you talk, the thirstier you become, Wang Qingyun looked around while letting the horse go: “Is there any water around here?”

As a son of an aristocratic family, Wang Qingyun would not bring dry food and water when he went out.

"Who knows where there is water around here! No one can have a rabbit, a pheasant or something, at least it can be roasted and eaten to fill the stomach!" Cheng Chumo looked around.

Yuchi Baolin said unhappily: "Even if we meet a rabbit, and we don't bring bows and arrows, we can only watch it slip away."

Everyone was a little downcast, and they would have brought dry food and water if they had known.

Seeing the war horses eating the grass, they had a feeling of drooling. Green grass should be able to satisfy hunger and quench thirst, right?

When thirsty and hungry, every moment is a torment.

Time passed bit by bit, and about half an hour passed, Cheng Chumo asked: "Is it almost time to rest? Should we continue on our way? Otherwise, we really won't be able to go back before dark."

Yuchi Baolin nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, we can still have food and drink when we go back earlier!"

Princess Zhenzhu pondered: "It's not impossible to start now, but we can't gallop on horses anymore, otherwise the horses will be exhausted after a while, and we have to stop and rest."

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, we have to control the speed!"

At the train station, Su Cheng and Wang Shengnan are having lunch together.

Now the train station can only be regarded as a construction site, so this lunch is not considered rich at all, let alone delicate, there are only four dishes with rice.

In fact, Su Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, what he ate when he sent troops to fight was not as good as this.

However, it was very novel to Wang Shengnan.

When was the last time you had such a humble meal?
Wang Shengnan couldn't remember at all.

"The food is a bit crude, don't be disgusted, just make do with it!" Su Cheng laughed.

"Why would I dislike it?" Wang Shengnan smiled slightly. She really didn't dislike it at all, because the person who was eating with her was Su Cheng.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "After all, Li is a construction site, so it's difficult for them to scrape together these four dishes, but then again, Cheng Chumo, your brother and the others are probably tired and hungry now, and they have nothing to eat or drink. "

"But you don't have to worry, I have already ordered the guards to run twenty or thirty miles with meatloaf and water to meet them."

Wang Shengnan pursed his lips and laughed: "They are big fools, even if they go hungry, they can have a long memory!"

Although his elder brother must be tired, hungry and thirsty now, but Wang Shengnan is not worried at all, he will not die of starvation if he does not eat a meal.
