There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 67

The horse under the seat finally couldn't bear the pain, and fell to the ground with a wail. Zheng Cang quickly jumped down, stroked its head soothingly, and said softly, I'm sorry.Turned around and continued to run forward.

He could hear it without standing there carefully. There was a faint sound in the distance. It was the hooves of the Huo people.His heart was clenched tightly, he didn't dare to think about anything, his head was in a mess, he looked around cautiously and moved forward.

After walking for a while, Zheng Cang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw the traces of the wheels that had just been crushed on the handful of withered grass by the side of the road.He felt relieved, but immediately brought it up, hoping that Qiaoqiao hadn't entered the village yet.

After walking not far, he saw another cart in the deep ditch on the right. In the strong wind, the wheels were still squeaking and turning. Shabby and dusty.He squatted on the ground, carefully looked at the frozen hard ground around him, and made sure that there were no other flatterers or vehicles passing by around the car. He speculated that it should be pushed down by Qiaoqiao himself.

A relaxed look finally appeared on his tense face, and he knew that his little girl will be fine, she is so clever, so smart, so naturally she will be fine, now, all he needs to do is take her away Find it and escape with her.

He stopped walking forward, since Qiaoqiao pushed the car down, even if she didn't understand the specific situation, at least she knew that something was wrong.

Zheng Cang looked around. He jumped down the ditch slope and walked back along the way he came from under the road. After passing through a low dirt slope, he took out the dagger he carried with him and walked The small piece of bare trees with only branches left.

Qiaoqiao supported the tree trunk and gasped for breath, she beat her leg a little irritably, she kept telling herself not to be afraid, but the trembling of her body was still unstoppable, her legs were sore and limp now , This company has not walked half the way when I came here, and I already feel that it is not enough.

She heard the screaming as if it was not far away, and she was frightened, and tears fell down: "Father, mother, Zheng Cang..."

She blinked away her tears and continued to run forward step by step, constantly talking about Zheng Cang, probably in this small town far away from her hometown, Zheng Cang who is not far from her can give her more and more real reliance.

After running for a while, Qiaoqiao heard a voice coming from behind her. She stopped her pace and didn't dare to turn her head. She held her breath and listened carefully. It was like the muffled sound of someone stepping on the ground. Yes, not for a while, she was not sure, her scalp was numb for a while, and she ran desperately again.

There was a whistling wind in her ears, she felt that someone was following behind her, following her unhurriedly, just waiting for her to relax and grab it directly, she was almost unable to run, her throat seemed to have swallowed a lot Like chili, it hurts hot, and my eyes can't see clearly.

A black shadow seemed to cover her, and from the corner of Qiaoqiao's eyes, she seemed to see an object rushing towards her. At that moment, she decided that this was the enemy, and her exhausted physical strength was suddenly lost in this state. Feeling better again, she turned around violently, punched forward with both hands, opened her teeth, and bit her neck directly.

Well……

The man didn't seem to dare to make too much noise, he just let out a low muffled grunt.

Qiaoqiao was biting like a small animal, the salty taste of blood in her mouth made her a little sick, but she still didn't let go.

"release."

Qiaoqiao was in a state of extreme tension and couldn't hear anything at all. She just grabbed the person under her body tightly with her hands and clenched her teeth hard.

It's not that Zheng Cang is in pain, but she looked at Qiaoqiao with tears in her eyes and flushed face, knowing that she was frightened and stimulated, so she didn't dare to scare her anymore. He put his hand on her back, causing trouble With another effort, he frowned, tried his best to relax his hands, and patted Qiaoqiao's back softly and slowly.

"It's okay, it's okay, Qiaoqiao, I'm your brother Zheng Cang, I'm here to find you, I'll take you home, let's go, let's go home. It's okay..."

He didn't know how long he had been comforting, before the stiff and trembling little body pressing on him softened a little.

"Zheng Cang?" Qiaoqiao let go, the blood in her mouth mixed with saliva flowing down her chin.Zheng Cang stretched out his hand and gently wiped it off for her.

"Yes, it's me, it's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid..."

"You're bleeding." Qiaoqiao lowered her head.

"fine."

"I bit it?" Qiaoqiao stared blankly at the bleeding place, stretched out her hand and pressed down.

"It's okay, just wrap it up. Come on, Qiaoqiao, sit up." Zheng Cang carefully coaxed her like taking care of a child, slowly hugged her off his body, and let her sit on the ground temporarily .

He took out a cloth from his pocket, pressed it directly on the wound and wiped it a few times, and then pressed it for a while.

"Qiaoqiao, it's okay, I'll take you out right now, we'll all be fine and go home together." Zheng Cang, who used to be taciturn, was very patient at this moment, coaxing softly.

Qiaoqiao looked at him quietly for a while, blinked her eyes hard, wanted to cry out loud, but was afraid of being heard by others, so she could only pounce hard, leaned into Zheng Cang's arms, and grabbed him with both hands Clothes at the back, sobbing silently.

Zheng Cang didn't say anything, just patted her on the back quietly.

Qiaoqiao cried for a while and then retreated. She wiped her tears, stood up from the ground, and asked in a crying voice: "Brother Zheng Cang, let's go. I'm fine. Tell me, what's the matter?" ?”

Zheng Cang smiled gratifiedly. This little girl was much stronger and more sensible than he had imagined. He kicked the surrounding soil with his feet to cover up the few drops of blood that fell on the ground, and then walked forward holding Qiaoqiao's hand.And told her the current situation.

Qiaoqiao listened quietly. In the end, she only asked one sentence, lowered her head, and her voice was very low: "Brother Zheng Cang, at this time, you should be leading your soldiers to fight. Why did you come to me?"

Zheng Cang thought a lot, thought she would ask himself Boss Hu and Liu Jian, thought she would ask why the Huo clan came to fight again, thought she would ask if they could be driven away, he had already thought of an excuse, but he I didn't expect her to think carefully about asking this question.

He was silent, just took her hand like this, and continued to trot towards the direction of the town.

The two of them didn't speak for the rest of the time, they just walked back, and when they were about to come out of the not-so-large forest, Zheng Cang stopped suddenly.

Qiaoqiao also stopped and listened carefully, her face changed suddenly.He looked anxiously at Zheng Cang.Zheng Cang patted her hand and shook his head to indicate that she was fine.

Those were two men in Huo armor, and they were galloping forward on horseback.

The two walked to the end of the woods and stopped on the path. One of them took out a long tube and looked around, especially the large dry but dense forest under the road.The two looked at it for a while, put away the thing, and chattered a bunch of languages ​​that Qiaoqiao couldn't understand.The two turned their horses and went back along the way they came.

Letting out a long breath, Qiaoqiao asked softly, "What do you do?"

Zheng Cang held her hand tightly: "It should be a pathfinder, to see if there are any ambushes or traps around."

"Didn't you see us?"

"No."

"Then, how do we go next?"

Zheng Cang put the small dagger away, and then looked at the wide land in front of him. Walking out of the dense woods, there was no shelter, and the path ahead would be far away if he walked. In his estimation, even if the two of them ran It will take at least a quarter of an hour to move forward.

Whether this quarter of an hour is long or short is not short. He knows that the village behind him must have been destroyed. Maybe none of the people in it escaped. It's not that he is not uncomfortable, but he can't be angry Now, he must send Qiaoqiao out, and then return to the team, try his best to protect his soldiers and kill more enemies.

He didn't think about it for long, time was too tight for him to think too much.And there was no other way to go.It's not impossible to stay here, but he can't guarantee that if a large army passes by here later, will they go into the woods to investigate, then the two of them will definitely not be able to escape.

"Coincidentally, let's go out and take a gamble. If they don't go this way, or if they don't come here for a while, or our army has already arrived, then we can go out, but if we go Halfway there, they show up, and I'll try my best to get you out... okay?"

Qiaoqiao looked up at him, nodded vigorously, and smiled at him. At this time, there was such a person holding her hand tightly to give her hope and comfort. She was not afraid at all: "Okay, let's go together."

The two took a deep breath and stepped out of the grove that concealed their figures.

Zheng Cang took Qiaoqiao's hand and climbed up the right path of the path, without stopping for a moment, he immediately started running.

He pulled her and ran for a long time. He could feel that the girl beside her was exhausted, and he was almost dragging her along.And she didn't say a word, didn't say a word when she stopped to rest.He endured his distress, didn't look at her, didn't ask her, just took her and ran like this, and kept running.

You can vaguely see the wall and thatched cottage in front of you, and the fork in the path is close at hand.

The joy on Zheng Cang's face froze as soon as it appeared. He heard the sound of horseshoes, a lot, and it came from behind.
