Chapter 154 (1/2)
154 thrilling scene
Sister-in-law Huiwen looked hesitant, but Shen Qingru smiled and took Xiaobao's arms left and right, urging: ”sister-in-law, hurry up. If it's late, you won't see where the bitter vegetables grow.”
Shen Qingru thought they were walking and would come back soon. Sister-in-law Huiwen shook her head and quietly pulled out a brown and black horse while people were unprepared, motioning Shen Qingru to get on the horse first.
”The place with bitter vegetables is a distance from here. It's too far to walk. Let's ride.” sister-in-law Huiwen whispered in her ear.
Shen Qingru hesitated. Her riding skill was only average. In particular, she had never ridden the brown horse on weekdays and was not familiar with it. Sister-in-law Huiwen seemed to understand what she thought in her heart and nodded to her to get on the horse first and drive the horse by herself.
Shen Qingru carefully climbed onto the brown horse, and sister-in-law Huiwen put Xiaobao behind Shen Qingru. Then she jumped on the horse, skillfully lowered her voice and ”drove”, and the brown horse answered.
I have to say that sister-in-law Huiwen's life is weak, but her riding skills are quite good. Shen Qingru sat in front of the horse and was held in her arms by sister-in-law Huiwen. As soon as sister-in-law Huiwen's legs clamped the horse's stomach, the brown horse spread its four hooves and galloped to the West.
Xiaobao was sandwiched between Shen Qingru and sister-in-law Huiwen. He was eager to see the scenery in front of him and begged his mother to sit in front of the horse. Shen Qingru smiled and said, ”Xiaobao, your mother deliberately asked me to sit in front of the horse. It can not only protect you from the wind, but also eat more sand.”
Sister-in-law Huiwen was urging the brown horse to go quickly. She smiled at the speech: ”madam, I'm afraid you'll be miserable if you sit behind and be knocked down by Marco.”
They laughed together. Xiao Bao grinned at the speech and stopped talking about sitting in front of the horse.
The brown and black horse galloped with its hooves, the wind roared in its ears and scratched its face like a knife. The last time Shen Qingru went out of the city, Huo Qijun took her to the frontier fortress to hunt. At that time, the continuous mountains and yellow sand were submerged in the white snow. The sky was wide and the clouds were low, leaving only a piece of white snow and colored glass. Now the night wind is howling and the yellow sand is long. It looks like a completely different world.
Shen Qingru was dizzy when he was knocked on the horse. He had long been unable to distinguish East, West, North and south. Sister-in-law Huiwen has a good memory. After driving the brown horse for nearly an hour, she pointed to a little green in the desert and said to Shen Qingru, ”this is it.”
Shen Qingru was vaguely thrown off her horse by sister-in-law Huiwen, and then Xiaobao was thrown down. She fainted for a while, looking at the green bitter vegetables in front of her, and her mood was suddenly happy.
”It's great to have so many bitter vegetables. Pick more and go back to eat tomorrow.” Shen Qingru immediately waved the small shovel he had brought and dug in high spirits. According to sister-in-law Huiwen, this wild vegetable has a unique taste, fresh, tender and refreshing, and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification. She dug quickly. The bottom of the small basket she brought was covered. On the one hand, she urged Xiaobao to dig faster.
If you dig more, maybe you can spare some for Huo Qijun and let the soldiers in the barracks taste this precious green vegetable.
Xiaobao was unwilling to show weakness. He dug and pulled out with his hands. He soon filled the mini basket in his hand and smiled at Shen Qingru. Shen Qingru, who was digging for vegetables, silently turned back and pressed hard in Xiaobao's Mini basket... Suddenly, the full vegetables collapsed into half a basket. Xiaobao wailed and puffed his cheeks.
Sister-in-law Huiwen dug hard and smiled at the big and small living treasures. Xiaobao followed her mother's footsteps and turned back to Shen Qingru from time to time to make a face: ”aunt Qingru, you're too slow...”
I don't know when, the roar of the wind gradually stopped, and it was getting darker and darker. I don't know when. Not far from the mountain depression, several pairs of deep eyes were staring at the two young women in front of them. Looking at their appearance, they didn't look like ordinary residents of the frontier fortress. Especially the young one, who looks beautiful, is a good-looking woman.
A faint groan came from a cabin behind him. A young woman was forced to fall to the ground by an ugly man. Her face was full of scars and her eyebrows were full of pain. Outside the house, a young man bound by colorful flowers was staring at the group with hostile eyes. He heard the groans of the women in the room. The man's face skipped the color of hatred and stared at the demons in front of him.
The young woman has been undressed and is still unwilling to twist her body. The ugly man was impatient and broke the young woman's limbs. The young woman screamed and fainted. The men in the yard looked at the murderers with red eyes and wanted to cut them thousands of times
Shen Qingru, who was busy digging wild vegetables, stopped doubtfully and listened to half a ring: ”sister-in-law, did you hear anything?”
Sister-in-law Huiwen didn't think so: ”I'm afraid it's the sound of the wind.”
They dug again for a while until the baskets they brought were full and their pockets were stuffed. Slowly, sister-in-law Huiwen contentedly took Xiaobao and walked towards the brown horse with Shen Qingru,
