Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun looked very carefully. Holding the lantern, he wandered back and forth between several tents, focusing on looking in and out near the kitchen for a long time.

In the distance, the old man was patrolling the defense. He saw the Duke of the State coming out with a lantern, walking around the tents around the handsome tent, and was about to rush over. Xia Xun immediately raised his voice to stop him: "Don't move!" , don't come here!"

In the core security circle centered on Shuai Zhang, there are not many footprints. The traces left by clearing the snow when camping just now have been covered by a thin layer of snow due to the wind, so the footprints below are not obvious. .After that, the people who came in and out mainly entered the commander's tent, and no matter how many traces there were on this road, there was no need to care. Xia Xun wandered around several military tents for a while, and gradually found something strange.

He found that there were some shallow traces on the thin floating snow, like footprints, but the footprints were too small, and he didn't need to open his palms to cover them easily. There may be such a small footprint, who would have such a small foot, could it be... There are really things like ghosts?

As soon as this idea came to his mind, he denied it. He stood still and carefully scanned everything in the security circle of the commander's tent: a large Chinese military tent, this is where he discusses affairs, raises his account, and handles military affairs.Not far behind the handsome tent is his sleeping tent. On the left side of the sleeping tent is the sleeping tent of Sirin and Rangna, and on the right is just a simple tent to keep out the wind and cold. Inside is a horse gifted by the emperor. nice horse.

This horse is a thousand-mile horse that was presented to Emperor Ming two years ago by Prime Minister Al Basha and General Gai Suyeddin of the Timur Empire. To show respect.

The lifespan of a horse is generally 30 to 70 years. If it is well taken care of, some can live to 69 to [-] years. But how old is Emperor Timur himself?Tie Mu'er is [-] this year. If this horse was really ridden by his father back then, it would be a great skill for them to bring this old horse to the Ming Empire. Anyway, it is a matter of saving face. really.

After the horse was sent to the Imperial Horse Prison, the horse was inspected, and it was indeed a five-year-old horse. It was only seven years old this year, and it was still in the prime of life. Xia Xun went to the West, and Zhu Di deliberately took this Western Region BMW. Given it to him, of course the imperial bmw had to be taken care of, so it enjoyed special treatment.

Xia Xun's eyes were fixed on this place at the moment. There was a carriage outside the tent, which was loaded with fodder, beans and other horse feed. Xia Xun looked around the entire handsome tent area, and the only suspicious place was here.Xia Xun then walked over. He entered the tent first, then came out, walked around the tent twice, and soon found some small footprints that did not attract much attention.

If it was daytime, everyone would be busy, and no one would pay attention to these small footprints. In fact, when the wind blows overnight, even if there are any traces, they will be blown away long ago. Saw some traces.Xia Xun followed the traces and gradually walked to the carriage.He circled the hay cart twice more, stood still, looked up at the stars in the sky, suddenly took a long breath, closed his eyes and cleared his mind, and began to settle down, his spiritual consciousness expanded to the maximum in this quiet night , perceiving everything around.

Tang Sai'er was terrified. She hid in the hay pile, staring at the light protruding from the outside in horror, not daring to move, for fear that if she moved slightly, the hay would make a rustling sound.

When Tang Sai'er fled the Yang Mansion that day, Xia Xun was saying goodbye to his family just in time. The front yard was full of people, Tang Sai'er felt guilty, how dare he go out openly.She was dodging behind those little maids, and overheard those little maids making fun of Sirin and Jeanna, saying that they were going to go to the Western Regions with the master. Tang Sai'er didn't know what the Western Regions were, but just felt To a place that is extremely far away.

At that time, in desperation, he hid on the roof of the car and hid himself, wanting to leave Nanjing with Xia Xun's car.Although the little guy is small, she also knows that the most dangerous place is the safest, but who knows that she has no chance to escape next.During the march in the daytime, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Sai'er could hide from the eyes of one person, or even the eyes of ten people, but it was impossible to hide from thousands of pairs of eyes in an unsuspecting place, not to mention that she didn't have many props on her back at that time. , relying on only some body skills and the ingenuity of using local materials.

And at night, it was even more miserable. During this journey, Xia Xun organized military exercises in full swing. At night, in order to prevent people from attacking the camp, the Ming army deployed layers of defenses, and there were endless whistles and whistles. How could Tang Saier, who lacked handy props, Escape quietly?On the contrary, the inside of the camp was far more relaxed than the outside, especially around the commander's tent. The soldiers only set up defenses on the outside. The activity area around the commander's tent was only a few soldiers and the two women, Sirin and Rangna, and it was the easiest to hide.

Therefore, Tang Sai'er had no choice but to hide in this place. During the march during the day, as long as she hid in the hay pile, she would not be discovered by others. When camping in the evening, she used her skills to steal some food. For safety, she only stayed in the field every time. Steal once in the evening, no matter how much you steal, if it is enough to eat three meals, you will eat the leftovers for three meals, if it is not enough, you will starve, and follow along the way.

Who knows, going down this road, the weather gets colder and colder. Her winter clothes are only worn in Jinling, and the winter clothes in Jiangnan are only equivalent to the clothes worn in late autumn in Shaanxi. Such thin clothes plus a carload The firewood was hard to keep out the cold, so she had no choice but to steal a padded jacket from the old man. The padded jacket was too small for her to wear, but it turned into a coat for her, and she used it as a bedding when she huddled inside at night. suffering.

Because of the cold tonight, Sai'er could not fall asleep for a long time, and was suffering in the car. No matter what, someone came with a lantern. Sai'er left a gap in the pile of firewood, firstly, for the convenience of breathing, and secondly, for the convenience of looking outside Seeing that the person carrying the lantern was Xia Xun who she was most afraid of, Tang Saier held her breath, not even daring to catch her breath, but her heart was beating like a drum.

She was scared, really scared.

Xia Xun looked up at the sky, as if he was staring at the bright stars in the sky, but his consciousness and will had already dissipated, expanding his sense of hearing and biological instinct as much as possible.He heard the sound of a heartbeat, a very rapid heartbeat, and then he heard breathing again, it was the sound of breathing after holding it in for a long time, suddenly taking a long breath, and then releasing it slowly, he also heard the slight rubbing of firewood the sound of.

Tang Sai'er was afraid and cold. Although she tried her best to keep still, her body was trembling imperceptibly. It was the very subtle sound of firewood rubbing caused by the trembling, which was not easy to be noticed by ordinary people, but it was clearly heard. In Xia Xun's ears.

"When I was young, I grew up in Qingzhou..."

Xia Xun spoke suddenly, and he still looked up at the sky, as if he was talking to himself: "In summer, there are a lot of cicadas, which are hard to grasp. It takes good eyesight to stick them with spider webs. Bamboo poles As soon as it moved, it aroused the vigilance of Cicada, and it flew away. To walk around every tree and find those cicadas that have not yet completed the cicada molting process is entirely dependent on luck.

However, there is a good way, that is, at night, build a fire in the woods, and then kick the trees one by one, and those cicadas perched on the trees will jump one after another when they are awakened. Falling towards the fire, falling around the flames, and falling to the ground, you hold the bag, even though you pick it up one by one, it will not struggle at all. Is this considered a moth to the flame, or is it a self-inflicted trap? "

The sound of breathing in the grass stopped suddenly, and it seemed that even the heartbeat stopped. Tang Sai'er, who was already extremely nervous, knew that he had been discovered after hearing what he said, and was so shocked that even the natural functions of the body stopped .

Although she is young, she is actually very courageous. If she were to risk her life, she would not be so afraid.But for Xia Xun, she never thought of confrontation at all, she just wanted to escape, so she was naturally nervous and afraid. This kind of nervousness and fear in turn affected her, making her even more nervous and afraid, which was already a little bit I meant to scare myself, and Xingzang was suddenly seen through, so Tang Sai'er was naturally terrified.

Xia Xun spoke again. He said that what happened in Qingzhou was actually just his life experience when he was a child living with his relatives in the countryside before he traveled through time and space: "I know it's easy to catch, but it's actually easy for children The most difficult thing to catch is the sparrow. It is very difficult to hold a basket with a small stick tied with a rope. But if you use a very bright lamp at night, climb the ladder to the eaves of the thatched house Now, shine the light on the sparrow's nest, just stretch out your hand to catch it, the sparrow seems to be blind, it can't escape at all, it can only fall into your hands obediently."

Xia Xun turned around slowly, facing the firewood on the cart in front of him, raised the lantern in his hand high, and held the knife by his waist with his other hand under the cloak, ready to strike like lightning at any time .With his current skill and speed, he is sure that as long as the person hiding in the grass intends to make a surprise attack, he will be able to kill that person the moment he hears the violent friction of firewood. Take the car and split it in half!

"Are you a cicada or a sparrow?"

Xia Xun stared at the pile of firewood in front of him, and said slowly.

Tang Sai'er closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, stretched out his little hands full of chilblains, and pushed aside the firewood rustlingly.

Pushing aside the firewood, the two little hands parted again, and then widened the gap, the light shone in, and it was shining on her body.

She was wearing a big bloated cotton-padded jacket, unkempt, her messy hair was covered with withered grass leaves, her thin face was pale with cold, without a trace of blood, she just looked at Xia Xun shyly, her pair of lacquer-like eyes His eyes were like an innocent sparrow, looking at Xia Xun timidly, as if he was about to capture him, pluck out its feathers cruelly, put them on branches, and roast them to eat them.

Xia Xun knew that there was someone inside, but he never expected that it was Tang Sai'er, he stared at Tang Sai'er in astonishment for a long while, and then shouted in surprise: "Sai'er, why are you here? "

Tang Sai'er opened his mouth, and two lines of hot tears flowed down...

: Please, recommend a ticket! ro! .
