Incomplete crossing

Frontier is a good place.

Autumn is yellow everywhere, the sky is high and the clouds are low, and the birds are flying across the sky.

In winter, white snow covers the entire ground, like a sea of ​​snow, but such a white scene does not appear monotonous.In such a white setting, there will be a few plum blossoms that bloom in the cold winter months, the pink ones seem to melt into the snow.

In spring, everything is revived, and there are tender green buds everywhere. Looking from a distance, you can see all kinds of small animals running around happily. When people approach, they flee in panic.

But at the transition of summer and autumn, there is no good scenery, the green trees look restless, the vegetation grows chaotically, and there are traces of battles everywhere, on the trees and on the grass.

No matter whether it is a person or an animal, the face has lost the vitality of the past.

"This is the border gate. It feels... not good at all." Erhu chattered endlessly from behind, looking at this desolate place, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, "God bless, let me go back properly, I have An 80-year-old mother with a two-year-old child..."

"Aren't you not married yet?" Jia Kang said.

Erhu pouted and said, "That's my brother's son, so I have to take care of it, right? I can't just leave it alone just because it's not my own."

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Jia Kang was in a rare good mood and didn't continue talking about him.

"Jiakang, look ahead." Axiu walked behind them at some point, and at this moment stretched out her long arms, pointing to the col.

There was thick smoke billowing there, presumably there was an army stationed there.

"Our army?" Garcon asked.

Axiu shook her head, "I'm afraid not. I heard that Jiuting has been captured. I'm afraid the Mang army stationed there."

Jia Kang's face became heavy, and there was still a long distance from the border between the Mang people and Daqi, but the Mang people camped on the edge of Daqi's city.

"Have you already attacked this place?" Jia Kang muttered to himself.

Erhu didn't understand, he just lived in a small county before, if it wasn't for military service, he probably would have lived in that small county for the rest of his life.

Jia Kang explained to him: "Jiuting is the only place we must pass through to enter our Daqi. As long as Jiuting is captured, the Mang people can follow the main road and drive all the way to the capital."

"But now Jiuting has been captured." Er Niu said blankly.

Jia Kang nodded heavily, "Yes, it has already been captured."

It was precisely because Jiuting was captured that their task was even more difficult. They had to guard the place where Jiuting must pass to the main road, not only to repel the Mangs, but also to take back Jiuting.

But those who defended the city couldn't defend it, and it was even more difficult for those who became monks halfway.

"The general has an order to stay where he is."

A repeated military order was conveyed, and the soldiers pulling the tent trotted down the tent, and the grain carts were also put together. Jia Kang, Axiu and others did not carry anything on them. After all, he was a relative of the emperor, and he also had some Privileged, so when everyone was stationed nervously, Jia Kang and Axiu quietly touched the mountain.

They climbed up the hillside, lay down on the hillside, and squinted at the place where the Mang tribe was stationed in the distance.

"If we go over and burn their food and grass..." Jia Kang's eyes flashed, and he proposed in a deep voice.

Axiu shook her head, "It's not that easy, it's only half a month now, they have already reached Jiuting, they definitely didn't come up by luck, we can think of burning their food and grass, don't they have any precautions? "

Jia Kang pondered: "They will never think of it."

Axiu looked at him, and Jia Kang had a look on his face that he had never seen before, as if he was confident, as if he was confident.

On the second day, let Erhu find a fist-sized stone, some vegetable oil and other things.

Still on the hillside, Jia Kang closed his eyes to feel the wind, but said, "We can't do it today, let's go back."

Erhu was carrying two baskets on his back, panting, he just came up and was about to go down?

"I said Mr. Jia, let's go back like this?"

Jia Kang looked at Erhu suspiciously, and asked, "If we don't go back like this, how else will we go back?"

Erhu continued: "Let's not do anything. Didn't we say we need to burn food and grass? Don't we sneak away to the place where the Mang people are stationed?"

Jia Kang said: "You are not afraid of death. Look at the people of the Mang tribe. There are so many patrolling back and forth. I'm afraid we will be killed before we get close. I don't care. I can exchange two coins anyway." , you..." Jia Kang looked Erhu up and down, and said anxiously: "I heard that the Mang tribe likes to eat human flesh, do you want to try it?"

"do not."

Erhu supported the basket with both hands, and could only shake his head vigorously, expressing his strong willingness to refuse.

"Then why are you still standing there?" Jia Kang glanced at him, "Get down quickly."

The two tigers are in distress, and they swear in their hearts, this dog's leg is really not easy to be treated.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the barracks, and there was not much food left in the dining hall. Jia Kang had his own small stove, but he was alone and lonely. It was really pitiful.

"Hey, isn't this the concubine's son-in-law? Why are you in a daze here? Oh, I forgot. It seems that there is no food in the canteen. Haha, I didn't eat at noon."

The few who had had some troubles with Erhu in the past, walked up to Erhu whose stomach was growling, and laughed at him one by one, pinching their waists.

Erhu was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to argue with them, so he twisted his feet, using his buttocks as the pivot point, turned half a circle, looked at another place, and felt sorry for his stomach.

How could those people just send Erhu like this, one by one, they walked around and said to him, "Didn't you say that you will go to the princess's house to be a servant in the future? Why, if you don't become a servant, you will starving?"

"What are you talking about?" The person next to him bumped into him and took out a steamed bun from his arms, "Look, Erhu, I have a steamed bun here, do you want to have a bite?"

Erhu looked up at the steamed bun, swallowed, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of steamed buns, but there was a cold steamed bun in front of him, there could be no scent.

Erhu felt that he must have been hallucinating, but the steamed buns in front of him seemed really tempting. I don't know if they are so delicious after eating them.

It must be delicious, big white flour steamed buns, that's why he came to serve as a soldier...

"oops……"

Erhu watched helplessly as the steamed bun fell to the ground. He looked at the person in front of him and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I accidentally dropped it."

Erhu looked at the steamed buns on the ground tangled up, thinking, if he picked them up now, there would be nothing wrong with them, and they could still be eaten.

"I'll pick it up for you."

Before Er Niu could speak, the man took a step forward, as if he wanted to pick up the steamed bun, but his foot stepped on the steamed bun, and his expression became even more apologetic, "Hey, I accidentally stepped on it, but... ..." He picked it up, beat it, and said, "It's still edible."

"Gollum..."
