After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 15 Battlefield
Rugged mountain road.

The old scalper was pulling a cart, snorting and snorting, with vigorous and powerful hoofs, running in the wind of wild flowers.

The young man in a navy blue linen coat was waving a bullwhip in his hand. He stepped on the shaft of the car with one knee bent, one foot dangling in the air, flicking and flicking as the wheels rolled.

There are two young girls sitting on the left and rear left of the son.

One is gentle and sweet, and the other is lively and clever with a smile like a flower.

In the back of the truck, a tall and strong man sat with his back against the fender and stretched his legs.

"My lord, are we just throwing away Mr. Yan?"

The girl sitting cross-legged on the left rear poked out half of her head, and the peach blossom branch in her hand was in full bloom.

"How can it be called throwing?" Ning Yu pushed away the peach blossom branch that hit his face.

"This is called returning to their own positions, each going back to each house to find each mother, or the world's banquet will eventually end. Yanzizhou and us have a meal for two months. We are tired of eating wild game, and we are tired of watching people. We will not break up, etc. Turning against each other?"

"I don't understand——" Zhiman threw the peach blossom branch to Xu Zhuang, "Uncle Zhuang, I'll give it to you."

"Your Auntie Xiu likes peach blossoms the most. I will smell the fresh peach blossoms in the Northland for her first, and bring her back the dried flowers." Xu Zhuang picked up the peach blossoms and sniffed them, and put the peach blossom branches in the cracks of the ox cart to dry.

Uncle Zhuang and Aunt Tongxiu are really affectionate.

Zhiyi glanced at the swaying peach blossom branch, and took the conversation, "Have you forgotten that Mr. Yan was forced to sign the marriage certificate?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten!" Zhiman Yang said.

In this matter, she is a great contributor.

Knowing "hmm".

"Young Master Yan came back from hunting a male wolf by himself the other day. It can be seen that his internal injuries are almost healed. In a few days, we may not be able to beat him together. What if he snatches the marriage certificate?"

In the barren mountains and wild mountains, there are a few carrot heads who have left their homes. If they are killed, no one will seek justice.

After a while, Zhiyi said again: "Besides, Mr. Yan sneaked out of the mountain last night driving an ox cart. He must be summoning his companions. Someone will come to him soon. If we don't abandon him, Mr. Yan will also. us."

"Master Yan went out last night? When?" Zhiman was confused.

"Master got up at night and found that the ox cart was not there, and Mr. Yan was not there." Zhiyi looked at his son.

Anyway, the son told her so.

A cluster of fresh grass is close in front of the eyes. The old scalper did not resist the temptation and opened his mouth to gnaw on it.

When it took a bite, Ning Yu raised his hand and waved his whip. The old scalper took a few muddy grass roots in his mouth, flicked his tail, and ran a few steps quickly.

Ning Yu looked ahead and remembered what happened last night.

Yan Shi did go out last night, and he still took her with him, but he didn't drive the ox cart.

After sleeping for about half a night, Meimeng just woke up, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in her cheeks. She opened her eyes in the chaos, and under the clear moonlight, she saw a handsome face that was enough to make one's heart flutter just by looking at it.

She thought she hadn't woken up from the dream, so she gave a smirk, and stretched out a finger to poke his Adam's apple. When he was unconscious, she poked it every day, and it was as slippery as a marble.

well!It's tragic when dreams are shattered.

The sneak attack was unsuccessful, and the forehead turned red again, and it was still aching at the moment.

Yan Shi wrapped her waist with one hand, performed the legendary skill of flying over eaves and walls, and brought her to the back mountain, on the tallest tree on the top of the mountain, where she basked in the moonlight all night.

Where can she get down a towering tree that is more than [-] meters high? She has never even climbed a two-meter-high orange tree.

She didn't wear much clothes, and she froze to death.

He was also bullied by passing birds and smashed bird feces on his arm.

Yan Shi hung her on a tree and left. Only when the sky became pale did he come to take her down from the tree, and asked her for the marriage certificate. She bluntly said that if she didn't return it, she would have to sleep on the tree.

He also threatened her not to speak out, otherwise the left hand and the right hand would break the necks of their master and servant and snatch the marriage certificate back.

What a white-eyed wolf!

Nothing but good looks!
……

The bullock cart climbed up the mountain in one breath, and several people picked a flat place to rest.

Ning Yu and Zhiman went to collect firewood, Xu Zhuang used stones to build a stove, and Zhiyi took out earthen jars, pottery bowls, pheasants, and wild boar legs.

The dry food has been eaten long ago, and the meat has been eaten for more than a month, and the fresh meat pulled in the car now is all hunted by Yan Shi in the past few days.

Ning Yu was sullen, and when he left, he took away the sliced ​​meat soup that he hadn't finished breakfast with.

The pheasant soup is boiling in an earthen pot. Zhimanzhi is pinching dandelion leaves on the side of the road. Add a few fresh and crisp dandelions to the pheasant soup. I feel refreshed all over.

Ning Yu sat on the back of the ox, and Xu Zhuang led the ox to a place with lush weeds.

People have to eat, and cattle also have to eat.

"what!"

Accompanied by a short exclamation, the old cow who was concentrating on grazing was suddenly frightened and threw Ning Yu off the back of the cow, broke free from Xu Zhuang's traction with all his strength, and ran away in the direction where he came.

"Master!" Xu Zhuang shouted.

Zhimanzhiyi heard the sound and ran over to help Ning Yu who was face down.

"Fortunately! Luckily!" Fortunately, there was a thick meadow beneath him, and he said "fortunately" knowingly, while brushing the grass clippings on Ning Yu's clothes.

"Pfft!" Ning Yu spat out the grass dregs in his mouth, his ears moved slightly, and he heard a continuous buzzing sound.

There also seemed to be a slight tremor on the ground.

Xu Zhuang, Zhiyi, and Zhiman also felt something strange.

"My lord, what is this?" Zhiyi looked worried.

"Isn't it an earthquake?" Zhiman frowned.

Earthquakes have occurred in many places in Shu. Although they have not seen them with their own eyes, they generally know the signs of earthquakes.

"Hush!" Ning Yu made a silent gesture and put his ears on the ground to listen.

In addition to the humming, there was a thumping sound, which was obvious, but she couldn't figure out what caused it.

"My lord, it's the sound of people and horses rushing on the road, coming from the south." Xu Zhuang, who was practicing martial arts, heard some tricks.

How many people would it take to shake half of the mountain?Ning Yu had a vague guess in his heart, and said to Zhiman: "Uncle Zhuang's injury is still not healed, Zhiman you are the fastest, go to the front to check, and be careful to stay away from people when you see them, and pay attention to safety."

Not long after, Zhi ran back full of anger.

"Young Master, Young Master, there are many soldiers in front, all rushing towards the mountain depression, and the half of the mountain on the opposite side is also full of soldiers. You can hear the shouts of killing when you turn to the south." Zhiman put his hands on his knees, panting.

This is where people and horses are rushing on the road, this is a battle on the battlefield!
Involuntarily, the faces of several people became serious.

"My lord, what should we do?" Zhiyi asked.

The cow ran away, and walked back a hundred miles to the deserted area, what should I do?

"Let me think about..."

Ning Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: "Go forward, turn over to the south mountainside and hide, and when the fighting is over, go through."

My home is in the south but not in the north, and the more north I get to Wangjing, the more dangerous it is, and there is no reason to turn back.

The road ahead was difficult, and the straw rope that had been placed on the bullock cart for more than two months finally came in handy.

Four mattresses, two beds are left, and the remaining two beds are dismantled to get the cloth, and the dried meat, wound medicine, earthen pots, pottery bowls, etc. are packed, and the fresh meat can be taken as much as one can, and the baggage is used straw rope After tying it up, weave the remaining straw rope into a wide strap.

Xu Zhuang couldn't use gravity for the time being, so he carried the two mattresses on his back.

What's left, the jerky is the most, is enough to feed four people for a month, dividing it into thirds.

In addition to Xu Zhuang, Zhiman was the strongest, with one-third of the jerky, cooking utensils and a wild boar leg.

Ning Yu carried one third of the dried meat, wound medicine, two rabbits and four pheasants.

She has the weakest consciousness and is responsible for one-third of the dried meat and two pieces of wolf skins.

In addition, eight water bladders, two for each person.

As for the softness of the money, as early as in the wooden house, openings were made on the lining of everyone's clothes and hidden folders were sewn.

The battlefield was sandwiched between two mountains, and lasted until the early morning of the next day. Ning Yu and the others hid behind a big rock on the south mountainside. There were half-height dense weeds growing around the rock. People hid behind the rock and squatted down. It was completely invisible from the outside. .

Ning Yu climbed up the tall boulder, looked at the battlefield with his hands on his brows, and could vaguely see that the victory belonged to the side wearing the red armor.

The triumphant soldiers withdrew from the gorge on the west side of the valley, and in the hazy morning light, they formed a long red dragon.

The mountain col was completely quiet, and the faint light poured down, dyeing the blood-red battlefield with another layer of red.

A string of figures galloped down from the mountainside in the north.
