Zhurou

Chapter 32
Zhao Mingzhi was taken aback for a moment, then grabbed the whip to use his strength to get up, walked a few laps honestly, and then slowly walked towards the creek not far away.

Although the weather is cold, the stream is running water, not frozen, its color is very clear, it makes a gurgling sound, and looks clean and bright.

The horses were loosely tied to a small tree nearby, allowing them to graze, eat leaves and drink water.

After running all the way, Zhao Mingzhi was tired and exhausted, Li Xun's face remained unchanged, but Wei Chengyan, who was a few steps away, was sweating all over, and was taking off his coat, and his sleeves were lifted, revealing two His arms were sweating profusely, and he was not afraid of the cold water, so he lowered his head to the surface of the water to wash his face.

Zhao Mingzhi saw that he was enjoying himself, and felt that his hands were sticky and uncomfortable, so he wanted to wash his hands.

She was about to lean over to look in the direction of the water source when she suddenly felt something was wrong, she turned her head to look at Li Xun and asked, "Second brother, last night in the fight with the Di people, there were heavy casualties on both sides, and many corpses were left on the road. What will passers-by do if they see it?"

He asked again: "There seems to be another place where there is a water source. The corpses are piled up like a mountain, and the blood and carrion will inevitably be deposited in the soil. It is good in winter at this time. If it is spring, I am afraid that people nearby will get sick."

Li Xunyuan was unbuttoning his narrow sleeves to draw water from the brook. Hearing Zhao Mingzhi's words, he had a rare pause. He turned his head, stared at her face for a while, and then said: "It's okay. They are familiar with fighting and know how to deal with it. Wait until dawn." Someone will clean it up."

His eyes were straight, without any other emotions, and he was full of righteousness. When Zhao Mingzhi was looked at, he didn't feel wrong. After knowing that someone would deal with him later, he also put his hands away and ignored him.

On the other hand, Wei Chengyan drank half of the gourd water, but interrupted and boasted: "You are meticulous, and you have thought of so much!"

After finishing speaking, he opened the bag on the side, took out the dry food, and gave the whole bag to Li Xun.

He opened his mouth to bite the hard pancake, sighed while chewing, looked up to see that Zhao Mingzhi was opening the water bag to drink water, and asked on a whim, "Miss Zhao, can you cook?"

Zhao Mingzhi nearly choked on a sip of water. He was about to reach out to grab a pancake, but he didn't dare to move forward. He replied, "I'm ashamed to say that I'm not very good at cooking, but I can eat it..."

Wei Chengyan laughed loudly and said, "I can eat too!"

Then he complained: "This cooking cake is so dry that it will break your teeth. It's really pitiful to have to eat this after traveling for half a day."

On the one hand, he turned his head to look at Li Xun eagerly.

Li Xun glanced at him, and said: "You can't stop your mouth with a big cake?"

After speaking, he took out a small oilcloth bag and threw it over.

Wei Chengyan caught it in a hurry, opened it and saw that there was a fistful of stewed meat inside.

He tore it up with his hands, and suddenly remembered something, hurriedly handed it to Zhao Mingzhi, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The meat has been left for a long time, and it is already cold and hard, with white oil, and a smell of mutton.

Zhao Mingzhi's nausea didn't go away, he didn't dare to endure this, he quickly waved his hands, and said politely: "Brother Chengyan, you eat at home, don't bother with me."

Wei Chengyan looked at Li Xun again. Seeing that the other party shook his head, as if he had just gotten a big deal, he smiled openly, eating the cold meat with a good taste.

After eating, he still felt inadequate, and sighed: "The human heart is insufficient, and the gap between the teeth is difficult!"

After speaking, I went to see Li Xun again.

Zhao Mingzhi heard it amused, and couldn't help but also looked to the right, but saw that Second Brother Li was slowly swallowing the pancake in his mouth, as if he had never heard of it.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Wei Chengyan had no choice but to talk to him and took dry food to eat. He was not idle while eating, his eyes looked around, and he didn't know which point touched him, while chewing the pancakes, he looked thoughtful.

After Zhao Mingzhi finished eating, he hesitated for a long time before probing: "Miss Zhao, come this way, are you and I considered strangers?"

Zhao Mingzhi nodded and said, "Naturally."

Wei Chengyan said again: "You really don't want to be so caring, and I'm not afraid to ask more questions—you..."

He compared his face with his hand, and then asked: "Is it born like this? Or did you get sick later?"

Zhao Mingzhi didn't react yet, and said, "What's wrong?"

Wei Chengyan showed a look of pity, and said again: "Although there is nothing, I was the only one who saw you just now, in fact, your facial features are not bad..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xun, who was silent for a long time, suddenly said: "In the current world, no matter men or women, it is a blessing to be born more ordinary. Ms. Zhao's family has wealth and kindness, and she has no parents or elders to protect her. Well, as for appearance, it's just icing on the cake, it doesn't really matter."

Wei Chengyan nodded hastily, and said, "It's exactly what the second brother said!"

He said again: "However, if you get sick the day after tomorrow, you will become like this. When you arrive at Jingzhao Mansion, I know that there is a doctor who is good at treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Why don't you go and have a look. If you can cure it, you will be happy. If you can't, then...

Zhao Mingzhi was sitting by the stream, and from the corner of his eye, the stream sparkled like a broken mirror.

It was rare for the sun to reveal a few rays of dazzling light at this time. Under the reflection of the water surface, the girl's complexion was sallow, with a large nail bulge on the right cheek and half a black spot on the left.

She suddenly realized that the medicinal properties of the prescriptions she had taken back then were still there, and Mo Xiang had spent a lot of effort in disguising, and the journey had no effect. Sure enough, that girl was not boastful in the past, and her makeup would not be washed with water. will fall.

It's just that I only communicate with my companions all the way, and wear more veiled hats, and rarely meet strange eyes, so I forgot about it long ago.

He was meant to guard against villains, and now that he was so cared about, Zhao Mingzhi said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing. I was born to be able to see it, just like the second brother said, the world is not good at the moment, and I did it because I was afraid of troubles on the road." One or two pretense."

He said again: "It's really not intentional to cover up the two of you, but the second elder brother Tong Chengyan treats me honestly, but I..."

She was about to apologize, when Wei Chengyan on the other side said "oh", but he was full of curiosity, and asked, "Why is it called 'how much can be seen'?"

He said again: "I am like this, of course I can't reach it."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Li Xun beside him, and said again: "Second brother, this face, does it count as 'how much you can see'?"

Zhao Mingzhi looked at what he was pointing at. Li Xun leaned on his right knee with one hand and held a water bag in the other. He sat on the ground without saying a word. Feel the sharpness inside.

His appearance is actually very good-looking, but no matter who looks at him, he will first be attracted by the two sword eyebrows and piercing eyes, and because he is often silent, and when he speaks, he often tells people to listen to the content in a hurry. Dare to look at the face.

Having been with him for a long time and with more experience, Zhao Mingzhi had the opportunity to look at his face carefully at this moment. He was confused by his appearance for a while, and was forced by his imposing manner. For a moment, he consciously moved his eyes away and turned to the side.
