Shen Qiongzhi hurriedly rode his horse, and Bai Feng led the horse and kicked it. His respectful attitude was self-evident. About half a day later, she discovered that the luggage and baggage she had brought out from the Holy Land seemed to have disappeared.
She turned around and looked back. The bustling town had disappeared for several days, with only a few shallow lines of horse hoof prints pressing on the grass. This meant that Shen Qiongzhi would have to rely entirely on the help of others to survive in the future.
"Where is my luggage!" Shen Qiongzhi's slightly hurried tone could not conceal the doubts and fear in his heart, "Brother Feng, have we forgotten?"
Travelers are most afraid of being helpless, and even more afraid of entrusting themselves to others who they don't trust at all. Shen Qiongzhi hesitated for a moment and was about to rein in his horse and turn around. At this time, Bai Feng took the reins back during the dispute and said with a smile.
"Miss Shen, we can't go far with those things. So, I threw them all away."
Shen Qiongzhi said: "What do you mean those things? They have been with me since I was a child... I haven't used them for a day. Now I'm fine. I have nothing left! How can you compensate me?"
"Miss Shen, look how much water and food we have left? If we don't rest for a day in Rouxuan Town, everyone will face the dilemma of water and food shortage." Bai Feng's sincere teaching and persuasion did not convince the other party, and soon Soon, Shen Qiongzhi pretended to agree first and only said that they would not continue discussing everything until they arrived in Rouxuan Town.
Jingjia knew that there seemed to be an inexplicable estrangement between Shen Qiongzhi and Bai Feng, and they could never completely trust each other, so he mocked at the side and said: "Miss, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant? You have to use carved chopsticks to eat and rhinoceros horns to comb your hair." The comb made from the comb needs to use half a bag of water to wash you every day. Are you out for an outing or for eating, drinking and having fun? Do you know how much water and food we have lost in order to accommodate you? "
"I..." Shen Qiongzhi was so angry that Ji Ji was speechless and speechless.
The few of them bickered and spent some time. They didn't see the lights or smoke of the town until dark, so they seemed to have no choice but to continue camping in the wild.
It's night, the wind wants to be calm but my heart is still. Shen Qiongzhi saw the opportunity when everyone else was about to fall asleep, and quietly came to the three pack horses, whipping and cursing them, and drove them in the opposite direction of Rouxuan Town. She held a torch in one hand, grabbed the mane of one of the horses with the other, and climbed up with great difficulty.
The neighing of horses passed through the quiet night several times, and the people sleeping in the tent woke up immediately.
Thorns took the lead and rushed to the place where the horses were housed. When he found that all three horses were missing, he shouted: "The horses were stolen!"
Bai Feng and Murong Yan followed the sound. The three of them stood there and watched Shen Qiongzhi walking away. Their voices became smaller and smaller: "Ah! Don't move!"
"Alas." Bai Feng sighed and said to Murong Yan and Jingji: "Leave Miss Shen to me. You go and find the other two horses."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Feng hurried away alone.
I saw Shen Qiongzhi still grabbing the horse's mane fiercely and not letting go, looking like he had no ability to control the horse. The horse didn't know whether it felt pain or didn't want to go too far. After a while, it stopped in place and continued. Neighing and moving.
Seeing this, Bai Feng said: "Miss Shen, stop grabbing its mane, let go quickly, and straighten your body!"
"I...I don't dare! If I let go, I will be thrown off." Shen Qiongzhi was swaying on the horse, which made the horse even more painful. After several times of resistance, Shen Qiongzhi's hand shook. Knocked out of the air, the whole body was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, the torch was also thrown to the ground and extinguished.
Bai Feng then slowly approached her through the remaining light of the moon and asked, "Miss Shen, what are you doing?"
"You don't need to worry about it." Shen Qiongzhi looked at the damaged elbow and palm, then moved his leg slightly, and kept shouting out the pain: "I can't seem to move my foot!"
"Don't move, let me take a look." The two looked at each other, only a few feet apart. Bai Feng felt the bones based on experience and diagnosed: "I'm afraid the bones are broken. Miss Shen, you clearly don't know how to ride a horse, why do you want to cause trouble to yourself at night?"
"I just want you to go back..." Shen Qiongzhi said: "I thought I had learned how to ride a horse. After all, I spent several days on horseback."
"Fool, that's because I'm holding the horse for you in front of you." Bai Feng then simply fixed the fracture for the other party and replied: "If there is another time, I won't care about you anymore."
"What, you don't want your horse back?" Shen Qiongzhi looked slightly shocked and asked, "Do you still want to walk back to Yuyi Town?"
"Even if there are no horses, no water and food, I, Bai Feng, will definitely not go back to the Holy Land with you." Bai Feng looked at the thin face and couldn't help but sneered: "I really didn't expect that the saintess of the past was such a good person. You act in such a childish way."
After the conversation, Murong Yan and Jingji came upon hearing the news. The former just blew a horse whistle, and the horse that was still mad beside Bai Feng just walked over obediently.
"Brother Feng, Sister Qiongzhi, are you okay?" Murong Yan stroked the packhorse's forehead and instructed Jingji to lead the way.
Bai Feng picked up Shen Qiongzhi and, using the dim light of the torch in the thorns, returned to the camp to rest and rest extremely carefully.
Shen Qiongzhi, who had completely lost the ability to move, could only sit there and be taken care of. After that, she could no longer have any bad thoughts. In the process of getting along with others day and night, she gradually gave up the idea of revenge.
The morning dew on the grassland has not yet gone away, and the scorching sun at noon is coming soon.
At dusk, the sky is as gloomy as haze, and the wind and rain are coming; at night, the earth is cold and the spring blossoms are blooming.
"The outside world is not as spring-like as it is in the Holy Land. The outside world is indeed very complicated." Shen Qiongzhi can only express such emotion after experiencing four seasons in one day.
Since Shen Qiongzhi's injury did not allow everyone to speed up, they could only live frugally and strictly allocate water and food with the priority of allowing the injured to recover first. After traveling for an unknown number of days, the four of them began to meet several civilians who had fled military service and returned home.
From these people, they accidentally learned that Yuyi Town had played triumphant songs all the way and had successfully occupied Huaihuang Town. As a result, many prisoners were released and returned to their hometowns, and Rouxuan Town, which was at odds with Huaihuang Town, lost its support, so it was naturally within easy reach.
The nobles headed by the Yuyi Zhao family are consolidating the existing results and preparing to plan the next attack.
After Bai Feng and the others found out, they were all happy and said with a smile: "You are indeed the Zhao family."
"Why the Zhao family?" Shen Qiongzhi was puzzled and asked, "Where is the general of Yuyi Town?"
"There are too many things that cannot be explained or explained during this period. I can only tell you that Senior Dugu's help to us will definitely be useful."
