In this way, the two of them walked in tandem, stumbling in the rain. Perhaps it was Laojun's blessing. Although there were spring grasses on the muddy slopes of the mountains and hills along the way, and some bumps and bruises were unavoidable, they were still able to move forward hard. When they took a break at noon, the two of them were able to move forward.

We even harvested a bunch of rabbits, which were strung together and hung on the knife handle.

However, as Du Meng said yesterday, the Fenshan Lord broke out into the mountains. Although it can be guessed that it is to block and fight with the enemy's Bihai Lord, it is generally a 'good intention'... But the power of the Dragon Lord,

The ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and with just one movement, most of the deserters have been killed, and the original road has completely disappeared.

Therefore, the two could only walk hard on the back of the mountain without roads, and they walked for a whole day without seeing any other living people. It was not until the afternoon of the second day that they saw three people sitting on a mountain in a col from a distance.

He took shelter from the rain under a big tree, and there was actually a winding path beside the big tree, and he didn't know where it led.

"This heirloom of yours is a true treasure, and it can indeed guide the way." Seeing this, Du Meng was relieved. "I just thought, if I continue like this, even if I can get out of this mountain alive, I will still get sick.

As a result, I met a few living people... let's go and hook up!"

Zhang Xing was speechless.

Theoretically speaking, he would like to join a larger group, which is less conspicuous, safer, and can obtain more information. But at the same time, he is also slightly worried because everyone is in disarray, unorganized and undisciplined

, they had just experienced a large-scale life and death incident, and they had soldiers and armor with them, so they might get together and cause trouble.

But no matter what, now everyone is in charge. How can I, an old man, object to it?

As the two men walked over, two of the three people taking shelter under the tree immediately stood up, and then Zi Youdu Meng stepped forward to negotiate with them. Only then did Zhang Xing know from his words the order of the army that he and Du Meng were in.

What kind of middle base army is called, and what kind of Changshui army does the other party belong to? It seems that they are of the same origin in terms of the larger sequence. After talking for a while, it is obvious that the rabbit on Du Meng's sword played the decisive role.

We decided to team up and brave the rain together.

But at this moment, Zhang Xing noticed the unresponsive person under the big tree, so he held a knife in one hand and pointed to the bottom of the tree with the other:

"Brother Han, Brother Wang... isn't he a partner of your Changshui Army?"

The two men from the Changshui Army, one tall and thin with a yellow face and surnamed Han, and the other with a dark face and a short surname of Wang, looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and then the tall man named Han sneered: "Brotherhood Xiao Zhang got it wrong. He was there before we came."

Lying here...I don't even know whether he is dead or alive."

Hearing this, Zhang Xing was slightly surprised, and Du Meng also stepped forward and asked: "Brother, can you still walk? If you can walk, come with us and go out of the mountain together, so we can find a way to survive!"

"

Hearing the words, the man under the tree finally turned his head slowly in the rain, but his face was frighteningly white. He didn't say anything anymore, just shook his head slightly, and weakly held the unsheathed sword in his arms.

passed.

"There are no external injuries. Either he overexerted himself with your strength, or he was hungry." Du Meng turned around and explained to Zhang Xing. "Anyway, he is temporarily paralyzed."

"Ignore him." The tall sergeant surnamed Han seemed to be the one who made the decision among the other two people. He frowned when he saw this. "Our strength is limited, and we encountered such a natural disaster and it was raining. It would be good if we could save a little strength.

Yes, do you still have to bring such a burden?"

The dwarf named Wang immediately nodded in agreement, while Du Meng also frowned and turned back to look at Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing thought for a moment, but had nothing to say. The other three were not happy, and he himself was still suffering from cold legs, so how could he help?

"Wait a moment..."

However, just when he was about to set off with the other three people, Zhang Xing looked back at the man. He didn't know whether it was because of his old cold legs, the lack of sense of security among the travelers, or simply humanitarianism. Anyway, it was

Suddenly a feeling of compassion arose.

Immediately, he walked over under the complicated eyes of the other three people, took out two dry pancakes from his arms, and stuffed them into the arms of the man under the tree.

When the man saw the pancake, he looked up. His pale lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was silent and even turned his head away. Zhang Xing didn't pay much attention, and turned around to return to the team with a knife.

"Why throw away the food?" The tall man surnamed Han was slightly dissatisfied.

"I'm also a white-eyed wolf. I don't know how to thank you." Du Meng was dissatisfied. "You can't stand up but you can't speak? You can't speak but you can't nod your head?"

"If it weren't for Brother Du Meng, I would have ended up with this guy. I just felt sorry for him, and I wouldn't miss these two pancakes." Zhang Xing hurriedly responded, and there really was nothing to say. "Let's go, let's go!"

"

The four of them finally stopped talking and set out on the journey again.

This time, probably because they were on a trail, they started bumping into other scattered deserters on the way, and the team gradually grew.

However, due to the continuous rain and the huge noise caused by the tiger attack yesterday, everyone was weak and frightened. Although they tried their best to support them, they had few words and a few words, which could not be separated from the defeat and the sudden occurrence.

earthquake disaster.

That's right, these people didn't know that the previous movement was caused by the tigers opening up the mountain. They all thought it was a natural disaster. But the two people who knew the truth, even Du Meng, didn't mention what they saw with their own eyes yesterday at all, so the conversation was even more complicated.

It's obvious that the bull's head is wrong.

Everyone just insisted on heading west, preparing to cross the mountainous area and return to the familiar land in Dengzhou to discuss other matters.

In this way, we walked for three consecutive days. The rain continued and it became increasingly difficult for everyone.

There was no way, the body was getting more and more exhausted, the food was getting less and less, and it became more and more difficult to make a fire. In this case, everyone including Zhang Xing threw down the heavy armor, leaving only the armor that could be used as fire.

They don't even have helmets that can protect themselves from the rain, and their weapons only retain light daggers and long soldiers that can be used as crutches and open roads.

Then, even precious things such as gold, silver, and copper plates were discarded... It was really a mess of discarding weapons and armor.

Along the way, people kept joining, and people kept falling behind. They often took a short break, and then started to fail to follow. But there were also people who tilted their heads in the middle of the road and rolled down the hillside without any movement. Others saw that,

They could only grit their teeth and remain silent. No one even thought about looking for, waiting for, or rescuing.

The only time it moved was when a soldier with a broken boot went down to pick up the corpse.

Under such circumstances, morale naturally becomes increasingly depressed.

However, for Zhang Xing himself, there is a piece of good news during this period - in the past few days, his legs have actually gradually stabilized. This morning, he was even able to try to run the so-called ice energy and persist.

Came down.

Having control over his body undoubtedly greatly increased his sense of security, but even so, the time traveler did not tell anyone. Instead, he still walked at the end of the team holding a long knife with an eyebrow tip and wearing a helmet.

.

"Xiao Zhang."

This afternoon, everyone had just set out after taking a rest. In the rain, they all fell behind inexplicably, and suddenly they came closer. "It's not a big deal if we keep going like this... The landslides behind us, and we don't know what the imperial court does to us in front."

Regulations, and although the road is right, these ten or so people are getting more and more discouraged day by day. I am afraid that if this continues, even if they go out, they will be ruined."

Zhang Xing thought for a moment and nodded directly: "Brother Du Meng is right."

"I know a place... I just remembered it when I saw this mountain, but I was vaguely confused about the specific route." At this point, Du Meng directly posted it. "Brother, let me use your family heirloom.

, I have also understood and figured it out in the past few days, and I also know the mantra of Lao Junye... Holding the baby and saying the mantra can point out what is on my mind, and there is no need for true energy at all... right?

I didn’t do anything extra with it, I just took everyone to find a place to hide from the rain.”

Zhang Xing was startled for a moment, then he took off the compass from his waist and handed it over without hesitation.

The reason for this couldn't be simpler. One is trust. Regardless of whether he is a real brother or a fake one, Big Beard always chooses to save him at the critical moment of life and death. The other is defense. He is not familiar with the place where he is born, and it is time travel and war.

It’s a fight between gods again. In a defeated army, life and death are uncertain. The only one who can be relied on and trusted at the moment is this person. There is no need to hate the other party for this object, even if it may be a divine weapon. The third is the stakes. We really need a place to stay now.

, otherwise I really can’t hold on, what’s the use of keeping a baby when the time comes?

To put it bluntly, everything is based on people. No matter how precious it is, it is just the same thing in front of people.

But the interesting thing is that Zhang Xing gave him pleasure, at least on the surface, but Du Meng was obviously stagnant when he asked for it. He was stunned for a long time before taking it, and then he only touched a handful of rainwater in his beard and said seriously

relatively:

"Good brother, I will definitely take you out of this mess alive, and I will definitely give you back all my treasures."

Zhang Xing just nodded casually.

Immediately, Du Meng held the compass and shouted the truth in a low voice. As expected, the pointer pointed to the right place. This made the bearded man overjoyed. He just hid the compass and boldly walked forward to talk to the other people.

Of the dozen or so defeated troops, Zhang Xing naturally did not need to say anything. The others were all depressed and lifeless. Only the tall man surnamed Han was in good spirits and seemed to have an idea. After asking a few questions, he agreed with Du Meng.

intention.

As a result, the group immediately changed their path and followed Du Meng who hid the compass.

Not to mention, after spending another night and paying the price of two more people being left behind, at noon the next day, the group of people, who had been tortured by the rain to an unbearable situation, turned out to be confused in a mountain col.

A small mountain village.

The mountain village is very small, with about twenty or thirty households, but even so, for the seven or eight defeated soldiers who have struggled for four or five days in rain, mud, humidity, itching, fatigue and fear, it is enough to be regarded as a life saver.

Straw.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Not to mention that with a village, we naturally know the way back to the cultivated land in Dengzhou. It is only when a group of people entered the village that they found out that the strong men in these families were either captured to transport food or directly joined the army. It is said that there are still two left.

I also went hunting in the mountains a few days ago and did not return for a long time. Considering the war and the 'natural disasters' in the previous few days, it is estimated that the results will not be good... In sharp contrast, this group of uninvited guests is almost full of people.

Guard the long soldiers.

Under such circumstances, the families in the small village could only accept the assignment of these uninvited guests unpreparedly, led by a few elders, and tried their best to meet all the requirements.

With hot water, hot soup, hot food, and a dry bed, Zhang Xing originally thought that he could maintain a certain moral and self-cultivation in his behavior, but in fact, he waited until he finished eating, wiped himself with hot water, and called himself "wounded"

After having my own identity as a side room of a family and a haystack bed in it, I suddenly felt a sense of consciousness and shame.

It turns out that extremely poor material conditions can really make people abandon education, dignity and other things easily, without even having time to think about it. You need to find out afterwards.
To be continued...
