There has been no rain in the land of Jifu for most of the year, the sky is dry and everything is dry, and there are dead branches and leaves everywhere.
Zuo Hua quickly collected a lot of them and piled them all on the bridge.
Zuo Rong took out the fire seal from his arms, tore off a corner of his clothes, lit it and threw it into the pile of firewood.
The flames started out small, but soon exploded into flames.
The river is dry, and even the wood used to build the bridge is extremely dry. After a while, the fire roared and burned the wooden bridge.
When the bandits on the other side of the river saw this, they started making noises one after another, but they had no choice but to jump and yell.
Zuo Mengeng and the other three waited for a while until the whole bridge was on fire, then turned and left.
Not long after we left, the sky turned completely dark, making it difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south.
But for fear of the bandits catching up, everyone still couldn't walk.
Zuo Mengeng fell down halfway.
My whole body felt dizzy. At first it was just weakness, but then there was a buzzing in my head, like needles pricking me.
Vaguely, a cold little hand was placed on his forehead, and a pleasant voice exclaimed: "Ah, he is having a fever."
Then he knew nothing more.
When I regained consciousness, I felt that my whole body was weak and I couldn't even open my eyes.
There was a lot of noise in my ears, and Zuo Hua's voice was especially loud.
"Damn bitches, it's all your fault. That's why my young master is like this. I tell you, if my young master has any shortcomings, I will kill you to save your life."
"The grace of saving my life should be repaid generously, and I am not an ungrateful person. When I find Yaya, he will thank you generously."
Although the girl had a nice voice, Zuo Hua was upset and annoyed by all the unintelligible words.
"I don't want any generous gifts. I just want the young master to be safe."
The girl had probably never been treated so cruelly before, and there was a cry in her tone.
"Take him to the doctor."
Zuo Rong's muffled voice came.
"Where can I find a doctor in this deserted countryside and chaos of war?"
What was heard next was a rustling of footsteps, which seemed to be going far away.
After a while, Zuo Hua asked: "Brother, won't that bitch take the opportunity to run away?"
Zuo Rong didn't want to talk much.
"Where could she go?"
Hearing this, Zuo Mengeng fell asleep again.
This time, he had a long, long dream.
In the dream, he went to a very strange and strange place.
There, he transformed and became a general.
As long as he gives an order, countless strange and powerful cannons will destroy the world. There are also some iron lumps that can fly in the sky, reaching thousands of miles away in an instant.
There is also a very terrifying iron lump that can fly thousands of miles away and kill hundreds of thousands of people in a single stroke.
Zuo Mengeng was shocked one after another, and countless knowledge entered his mind.
The feeling of leading and commanding such a powerful army to be invincible is really wonderful.
Just as he was leading countless steel behemoths across the sea and on an expedition to foreign lands, suddenly a huge wave rushed towards him.
The cold seawater hit his face, waking him up instantly.
When he opened his eyes, he was faced with a pair of clear water.
The girl didn't know what she was holding in her hand. She pinched Zuo Mengeng's mouth with her other hand and dripped cold juice into his mouth.
"Ah, you finally woke up."
The girl smiled, obviously looking very dirty, but it was like a fresh spring breeze, refreshing.
Then two big heads appeared in Zuo Mengeng's eyes, ruining the beauty.
"Master, you are finally awake."
Forget it, seeing Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua looking relieved, Zuo Mengeng decided to forgive them.
"Where is this? How long have I been asleep?"
Zuo Rong calmed down first and wiped his face.
"It's been five days, and we don't know where this is. There are bandits everywhere along the way, and no one can be found to ask."
Zuo Mengeng sighed, but he didn't expect that he would actually fall down for five days.
No wonder that dream was so long and so unforgettable.
Zuo Mengeng wanted to sit up, but if he moved even a little, his limbs wouldn't obey him.
He knew that this was weakness caused by a lack of nutrition in the body.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Zuo Rong was very hesitant.
"Only...only horse meat."
They wandered for five days, and because there was one more person, all the dry food they carried had been eaten up. In desperation, they had no choice but to kill horses to satisfy their hunger.
Zuo Rongman thought that Zuo Mengeng would be furious when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Zuo Mengeng just nodded and motioned for him to bring the horse meat.
The horse meat was very fresh, but unfortunately it was only cooked over fire without any seasoning. Even when it was cooked, it still had a fishy smell.
If it were in the past, Zuo Mengeng would never touch such a thing. But now he held the horse meat in his hands and ate it up in just a few strokes.
Zuo Mengeng himself didn't know what was going on. In that dream, he had been a special soldier of some sort, and had eaten something more exaggerated than horse meat in order to survive.
So now horse meat is a supreme delicacy in his mouth.
After all, it was meat. After eating a big piece, Zuo Mengeng felt a lot more energetic.
After a careful examination, I found that the wounds on the ribs and arms had been carefully treated, and recovery was just around the corner.
"It was all done by that girl. She has great medical skills. She found a lot of herbs and brought back the young master's fever."
When Zuo Rong told Zuo Mengeng about the situation after he fell into coma, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but look at the girl.
She clearly looks like a rich lady, so why does she know medical skills?
Remembering what she had said to him at the beginning, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but look strange.
However, being in a dangerous situation is not the time to be curious.
Zuo Mengeng managed to stand up and observed the situation around him.
There's not much to say, there's wilderness everywhere, and the land is so flat that it's scary. Only in the far distance are there some undulations, not even hills.
Zuo Mengeng didn't expect to find anything, he mainly wanted to identify the direction.
This was easy for him.
"Let's go in this direction."
Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua didn't understand and didn't know how to ask. They were very obedient.
The girl jumped up.
"No, if we go south, we will get further and further away from the capital."
Zuo Mengeng looked over.
"How did you know we were going south?"
The girl curled her lips, her angry look was very charming.
"I'm not stupid. In autumn and winter, the sun goes far away, and the days are short and the nights are long. Even at noon, it is still in the south. If you point in the direction of the sun, is it not the south?"
Zuo Mengeng looked at the girl carefully again, his face became much more solemn.
"who are you?"
Although the ancients also knew that the sun was different in winter and summer, those who could sum up the rules must be those who dabbled in astronomy.
Although ordinary women have feelings, they would never be able to speak so logically.
Especially when he remembered what the girl had said to him before, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but be careful.
The girl is very cautious.
"You don't need to care who I am, you just need to escort me to the capital. I, Young Master Yaya, will give you a generous gift."
Although she didn't say anything, Zuo Mengeng had already gotten a lot of information.
This girl is from the south of the Yangtze River, and she can't even hide her soft words from Wu Nong. Moreover, the family is either rich or noble and very powerful. To understand astronomy and medical skills, one must have a strong family background.
"Your ancestor is Duke Xu Xuan, the Minister of Rites, right?"
The girl was originally reserved and contented, but upon hearing these words, her pupils instantly dilated, as if she had seen a ghost.
"You...you...how did you know?"
Zuo Mengeng smiled slightly and sighed at the wonder of fate. He did not expect to save Xu Guangqi's granddaughter.
This girl's Jiangnan soft-spoken language was not easy to guess, but Zuo Mengeng caught her by calling her "Yaya" and "Yaya".
He inherited the things in the dream, was familiar with various languages, and knew that this was the name for his grandfather in the magic city.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, she came from Songjiang Prefecture and knew astronomy, medicine and other miscellaneous subjects. She also said that she would go to the capital to find her grandfather, so the girl's identity could be revealed.
"Mr.
Zuo Mengeng found an excuse and fooled him.
Miss Xu was in a good mood when she heard him praise her grandfather and didn't think too much about it. But what Zuo Mengeng said next shocked her.
"Miss Xu, we can't go to the capital, we can only go south."
Miss Xu paused and didn't believe it.
"Why can't we go? Where else can the capital be safe?"
Zuo Mengeng explained: "This place should be south of Qingxian County, hundreds of miles away from the capital. There are bandits all the way. Not to mention avoiding the military disaster, we can't even find anything to eat or drink. We can only go south, Let’s see how Cangzhou is doing.”
Zuo Rong also said: "Cangzhou is a big city, and it is impossible for thieves to capture it. Once we get there, we will be safe. Just send a message to Minister Xu at that time and ask him to send someone to pick you up."
Miss Xu looked at the expressions of the three of them. Zuo Mengeng and Zuo Rong were calm, Zuo Hua didn't want to pay attention to her, and she knew that this was the only way.
When I think about my innocent daughter wandering in the wild with three strangers for so many days, I wonder how she will be talked about.
But she didn't want to die, so she had no choice but to put away her messy thoughts and follow Zuo Menggeng and the others on their journey south.
