"Young people should be careful about sex, middle-aged people should be careful about fighting, and old people should be careful about gaining! Look at you! You already have children, and you are still acting like this! I..."
On the wide galloping road, a group of Tang cavalry in black armor were guarding a gorgeously decorated carriage, walking slowly toward the east. At the front of the team, a huge handsome flag with a Xiao character was fluttering in the wind!
Different from the mighty cavalry team, at this moment, in the carriage, the listless Xiao Han was wrapped in a thick blanket, rocking back and forth with the carriage, while enduring the old man's spitting stars flying all over the sky!
"No! I have to go to the latrine!"
Finally, Xiao Han, whose ears were disturbed, couldn't stand the old man's nagging anymore. He used the excuse of peeing to escape, opened the carriage curtain and got out!
After leaving the oppressive carriage and being stirred by the fresh cold wind outside, Xiao Han's groggy mind finally regained clarity.
At this time, the outside was no longer as cold as before. The thick ice and snow had melted, the trees had sprouted, and even the land on both sides of the road had some green.
And in this belated spring day, those ordinary farmers who had been struggling for a long time quickly took advantage of this rare warm weather to bring their families and families to the battle! Busy trying to grow food.
Although, almost all the winter wheat in the field had been frozen to death, and the spring planting was also delayed.
But if we start replanting now, there is still hope that we can harvest another crop of grain when winter comes this year!
God, in the end, he still left a way for the poor people to survive and did not finish the matter!
If we let this land freeze for another month, no! Even if it freezes for another half month, the land conditions this year will be completely in vain!
By then, those who live near Chang'an and whose families are a little better off will be fine, and those who live on a shoestring budget will probably be able to survive until next year's new grain comes.
But the poor people further away from Chang'an are completely doomed. They are lucky to survive this winter!
There were even some people who had no land at home. Because they could not help the landlords farm the land, they were kicked out alive and became homeless people with no fixed abodes. They might die of cold and hunger at some point.
"Why are you willing to get out of the car?"
Just when Xiao Han was looking at the old farmers working in the fields in the distance, Liu Hongji, who was dressed in golden light armor and as handsome as an Oscar winner, drove his horse to run over, bowed down, and looked at him with a condescending look on his face. asked.
"It's stuffy inside, come out and get some air!" Naturally, Xiao Han wouldn't tell Liu Hongji that he was addicted to women and had a headache from being talked about by Master Tang Seng, so he escaped to hide for a while, so he casually made up an excuse to deal with it.
"Oh~" Hearing this, Liu Hongji nodded in a long voice, with a look that didn't deserve a beating. It made Xiao Han's teeth feel itchy, and he wanted to jump up and punch him in the eye!
"Xiaodong! Xiaodong! Where did he go? Get me a horse!"
Not wanting to pay attention to this old pervert, Xiao Han turned his head and shouted to the cavalry team, and soon, he saw Xiaodong, who was also covered in armor, riding a horse and shivering out of the team.
"Hou...Hou...Master Hou, you first...ride me first!" With great difficulty, Xiaodong fell off the horse and was suspended by the heavy armor on his body. A dog gnawed on him, waiting for him to finally stabilize his body. , then said to Xiao Han with chattering teeth.
"What about you?" Xiao Han took the reins from Xiaodong and looked at him in confusion.
My trip this time was a rare formal honor guard, so it was impossible that I didn't even bring a prepared horse.
When Xiaodong heard Xiao Han's question, he grinned and answered with a laborious smile: "I...I'm fine, I'm just a little cold. Let's go for a run and move around."
There was no other way. Xiaodong had not been on such a formal trip for too long in the Xiao family these years.
So much so that Xiaodong, who was Xiao Han's personal soldier, was not used to wearing a helmet and armor on the road.
In addition, the weather is still a bit cold now. The steel armor was blown by the cold wind and became extremely cold. Wearing it, it felt like being in an ice cube! It was so cold that Xiaodong's bones seemed to be steaming out from inside.
"Look at how cowardly you are!" Nosy Liu Hongji saw Xiaodong's trembling appearance and rolled his huge bull's eyes. Then he took out a wine bag from his arms as if he was disgusted and threw it to Him: "Drink some wine and warm yourself up!"
"Thank you, General Liu!" Xiaodong took the wine and was immediately overjoyed! With everyone's envious eyes on him, he quickly pulled out the cork and took a swig!
Sure enough, as soon as he took a sip of wine, he suddenly felt a warm current in his lower abdomen, which instantly filled his whole body. It was no longer the feeling of being about to freeze as before.
"Hello? Drink less!" Xiao Han had just climbed onto the horse and saw Xiaodong about to take a second sip. He couldn't help but stop him: "Drinking can't keep you away from the cold! It can only speed up your calorie consumption. If you don’t want to get even worse from the cold soon, don’t drink it!”
"Oh..." Xiaodong heard Xiao Han's words. Although he was a little reluctant, he obediently collected the wine bag and handed it back to Liu Hongji.
What the Marquis said was never missed! No matter how outrageous or unbelievable it is! But in the end, Xiao Han will still be proven right, so Xiaodong and the others will never doubt Xiao Han's words!
He said that drinking alcohol will make the cold worse, so it will definitely get worse, and it will definitely not get better or stay the same!
"Tch!" Liu Hongji was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Han's act of ruining the scenery, especially since the wine was given to Xiaodong by himself. When he said this, it seemed as if he had intentionally harmed Xiaodong. How could he endure this?
So, Liu Hongji, who took the wine, deliberately pulled out the cork in front of Xiao Han, tilted his neck, took a big gulp of wine, and then laughed loudly like a demonstration: "Who said drinking can't keep out the cold? Look at this sip of wine. Come down and feel warm all over!"
"Bah!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes when he heard this. He knew that what he just said was a bit embarrassing to Liu Hongji, so he didn't bother to talk to him and just continued to ride behind the carriage.
However, seeing Xiao Han ignoring him, Liu Hongji became even more enthusiastic. He drank another sip of wine in front of him, then looked around, smashed his thick lips and made a loud noise, which made other people in the team watch. They were all snickering secretly.
"Ahem, Lao Liu, have you ever seen anyone freeze to death?"
Finally, Xiao Han, who couldn't bear it any longer, looked at Liu Hongji, who kept playing tricks, with a dark face and asked.
"I've seen it before, what's wrong?" Hearing this, Liu Hongji turned around and asked in confusion.
"Then among the people you have seen who froze to death, are there some who were naked and still had a smile on their face?" Xiao Han continued to ask slowly and politely.
"Yes...yes!" After saying this, Liu Hongji's face immediately changed, from the original rosy and translucent to pale!
