girl riding a horse

Chapter 71 What is he looking at?
Xie Yuan rode on his horse and looked at the city gate in the distance. Above the city gate, a banner with the word "Wei" in red on a black background was flying.

The gate of the city was open, and a few scattered people came and went.An old Han farmer, his legs trembling with fright, walked tremblingly from the Beiyi guards with his arms crossed.

A city, a thick city wall, and a crowd are much safer than being alone in the wilderness.

She yearns for crowds, for a sense of security... That city is too tempting for her.What's more, there will be a water source there, and maybe you can buy food.

The horse under his crotch jolted anxiously, Xie Yuan licked his chapped lips, tightened his back, turned his head around, and headed east.

The capital of the Southern Dynasties was to the east. Even if Master and the others were defeated, they would still go east. Moreover, the defense line was broken and several cities were lost. It is impossible to lose all the cities on the border.

Her stomach was empty and she was trembling with hunger.A bird was shot down on the road, but when she picked it up from a long distance and pulled out the arrow on it, she remembered the human hand on the bonfire, and immediately vomited wildly, Almost spit out blood...

Xie Yuan squinted his eyes, there were two blue shadows under the swollen Danfeng's head because she didn't get a rest, she pulled Shen Liuzhen out in her heart, imagining that the two were still in the Shen family's martial arts training ground, she asked:

"You know...you're very, very hungry, but you can't eat anything, what's it like?"

Shen Liuzhen in his mind looked at her with a pair of curious round eyes, embarrassingly bright, but didn't answer.

She really couldn't guess how he would answer.Thinking that if one day they will meet again, they must ask this question to see how he reacts.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xie Yuan finally saw a small mountain river in the distance, kicked the horse's belly and ran over.

He got off his horse, turned over, found a shallower river bank, and took a couple of sips of water while lying on a rock.

The sweet water flowed from her mouth into her throat, and it was as comfortable as moistening the dry and tight skin all the way. The satisfaction in her mind directly drew tears out of her eyes.

Xie Yuan immersed his entire face in the clear water, then fished himself up, and washed his face vigorously.Then he fell down and sat on the bank, looking at the clear river water, as if he was looking at his benefactor who continued his life, and started to be in a daze.

She looked at herself in the river, the buns on her temples had loosened a lot, her hair was wet and curly, her face was pale and thin... It was only two days ago, but she felt that the people in the water were strange.

She was stunned for a while, then took the hair band apart, thought about it and tied a single bun on the top of her head, but she couldn't tie it well, it was crooked.

Suddenly, above the line of sight, something quickly floated past the center of the river. Xie Yuan followed it with his eyes, and saw faintly the corpse of a young child lying in the river. She was stunned when she tied her hair.

The figure of the dead Xun Ya lying on the ground came to mind again...

"It would be great if there were no more wars." said the orphans who lost their parents in the war and famine.

Xie Yuan closed his eyes and stood up from the ground.

Looking at the toddler's body drifting away with the river in the distance, with his back straight and sideways, he remembered what he said at that time.

Stop war with war!Only with absolute strength can the dispute be ended by crushing, just like the Qin State that unified the land of China back then.

When she finds her master, she will not only give herself a chance to become a general, but she will also do her best to end this North-South confrontation war in her lifetime!Let more cute children like Xunya in the future, like her, be born in a home protected by their parents and grow up safely!

As Xie Yuan thought about it, the tiredness in his eyes disappeared, and he rekindled his fighting spirit to find his master, Shen Qingzhi, and the Southern Dynasty army.

At this moment, several arrows floated over the river, and Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, which meant that there might be a battlefield in the upper reaches of the river, and if there was a battlefield, he could find traces of the Southern Dynasty army!

Xie Yuanliang quickly got on his horse and went up the river.

……

……

When she walked through a forest and looked at the Southern Dynasty soldiers cleaning the battlefield across the river, she couldn't describe her mood.

On the one hand, the military uniforms on them are familiar to her, which reminds her of her master.

But on the other hand, because last night, those two Southern Dynasty soldiers who cannibalized human flesh made her feel shadowed.Looking at these tattered clothes and looking like routed stragglers, she has a very bad feeling, especially when she sees them carrying the corpses of their companions, her stomach starts to churn...

Xie Yuan rode on the horse, looking across the turbulent river from a distance to the few soldiers on the opposite side.

On the other side of the river, a lazy veteran squatting on the ground knocked on the soles of his shoes, and squinted his eyes as he looked at the young man on the tall horse opposite him.

The person who joined him to carry the corpse was a young man with tender cheeks, seventeen or eighteen years old. When he followed the eyes of the veteran, he also saw Xie Yuan and asked in panic:

"Fang Bo...the one on the opposite side is a scout from the Beiyi people? They won't want to call back, right?!"

The old soldier had a good-looking goatee on his chin, but the two white beards were thick and curly, very eye-catching. He sneered and said:

"Look clearly! It's a doll! And it's a Han Chinese, and a scout from the Northern Yi people!" The expression on his face was very disdainful of the young soldier's superficiality.

"Look at..." The young soldier had just squatted down, and just uttered two words from his mouth, there was a burst of angry shouting behind him:
"Old Fang! What are you two doing! The fucking old ghost knows how to be lazy!"

Hearing this, the veteran hurriedly put on his shoes, and said with a smile while putting them on: "Boss, there is a stone in my shoe. Knock it. It's all right now..."

After that, he quickly stood up, holding the shoulder of the corpse beside him, and carried the young soldier back.

The young man lifted the corpse's foot, and continued what he said just now while lifting it:
"Looks like a soldier...couldn't be a disguise. I didn't get well during the day, and now I'm trying to find a way to cross the river."

The old soldier frowned and put the corpse on the ground, saying, "Let's change! It's so dead! I'll lift my foot!"

When the young man heard this, he honestly switched sides with him, and said aggrievedly: "You want to raise your head yourself, why are you still blaming me?"

"I think you're stupid! Don't blame you?" The veteran said angrily, "You didn't see that the Beiyi army was ordered to withdraw, why are you coming back?!"

The young man had no temper. While struggling to move his feet, he looked at the boy on the other side of the river who hadn't moved for a long time, and asked:
"Then tell me, what is he looking at there?"
