Chapter 336 Bloodstain

I gradually moved away from the carriage. The grass nearby was not growing well and was already a little yellow. In order for the horse to have the strength to run further next, I needed to make some fat and tender grass to feed them.

Soon I found a place I liked, which was a dim depression, with some clear water inside, and the sound of frogs cries came from time to time. Where there was water, the grass must grow lush and tender. I ran over quickly and rushed into a grass that was beyond my waist. Here, I pulled out my short knife and started to mow the grass.

I put the cut bundle aside for the time being. In order to make the horse full, this alone is not enough. I wrote for a while and continued to mow the grass. I stopped after five bundles. Add the previous ones, which should have been enough for the horse to eat. If it is not enough, after all, I can't move it back at once. I regretted coming out alone, and I should have been with Li En on my feet.

The cloth rope around my waist was unfolded and placed on the ground. A cloth rope of three or four meters long was definitely enough. I placed piles of grass on the rope and tied it with the rope. Then I took out two more cloth ropes, passed through the rope, made a mistake in an I-shaped shape, and then carried it on my shoulders. In this way, even a haystack that was more than two meters high could still be easily carried away.

It was about a few dozen kilograms of things, but it wasn't too heavy for the back, but I felt a little uncomfortable with my neck and back. I probably had a little bug on the grass crawled in. I rushed back and wanted to eat some food to fill my stomach, so I endured it all the way. But in the end I couldn't bear it, my back couldn't help it, and it hurts so much that it turned into a numbness after a while.

Sweat wet my clothes, so I had no choice but to stop, put the grass on the ground, then took off my clothes, and saw a few bugs still crawling on it, so I quickly shook the bug off, then reached out to touch my back, touched a long bug, pinched my fingers and placed it in front of me. It turned out to be a centipede, and my forehead was still waving. It was it that made me feel unbearable pain just now.

I raised my knife and cut it into two pieces, and then threw it on the ground. Put on my clothes and planned to check if there were any other poisonous insects on the haystack. Although it was impossible to be too poisonous to have poisonous insects inside, it would be uncomfortable for a day or two to bite. I searched it all but didn't find another one, so I had to give up.

Just as I was about to leave, there were some red grass leaves under the grass pressed by the haystack. Why didn’t I noticed it when I was looking for it just now? I felt curious, so I reached out to touch it, but the red color was stuck on my fingers, which was so sticky. I put it in front of my nose and smelled it, and found that it was blood.

I thought to myself, maybe it was left by wild beasts chasing birds, or the blood of beasts, and wanted to find more blood to confirm. But I found that there were many messy footprints of people nearby. Not only that, there were also many blood stains, and some of them had not even dried up. Has there just been a bloody battle here?

I roughly looked at the situation nearby and found that only one of the footprints was dense, and it became evacuated. It means that there were not many people, and I found a lot of horse hoof prints a little further away. And some broken arrows were found on the ground.

There were also long-range assistance from archers in this bloody battle. In order to kill a group of people in an orderly manner, besides the army, there were only bandits and bandits left. Thinking of this, I had a bad premonition, so I threw these things away and hurried back with the grass. After I got back, the three of them were chatting around the fire.

They came up to help me distribute the forage to the horse, and then Ouyang Lan gave me a bowl of hot soup, which had dried meat and vegetables, and the taste was very moderate, sweet and salty. After eating a 70% full meal with dry food, I felt that I was full of energy again. I didn't tell them what I found, so as not to panic.

That night, Li En and Leng Zheng, I took turns to watch the night, and I did not encounter any attacks from wolves, and I slept sweetly. So after getting up, I was in good spirits and accelerated my speed when I was on the way. After all, I wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible, get the tiger talisman early, and go back soon.

Liu Xueyan's condition these days is a bit subtle. She will only reply when she talks to her. She has been resting in other situations. Although she said nothing is wrong, I am still a little worried.

Ouyang Lan and I sat side by side on the car board. She sometimes drove the horse whip, sometimes attracted by the scenery on the roadside. She was as happy as a little girl. I rubbed her temples. She was originally a little girl. But this girl's smile was too infectious, and her boring thoughts disappeared when she saw her.

Just as I was stunned when Ouyang Lan suddenly screamed, which scared us all. I thought she noticed that I was peeking at her, so she coughed twice, "It's just a mountain forest, yelling."

Leng Zheng and Li En lifted the curtain behind and exclaimed in unison: "Mountains?"

These two guys were playing rock-scissors behind and betting with silver coins. Before I could tell them, Leng Zheng said, "It's considered that I saw the forest. I haven't eaten wild game for a long time. Let's spend the night in the forest tonight?"

Li En said: "I think so too. I keep eating dry food, and the birds are almost fading out of my mouth."

Ouyang Lan lowered her head and refused to speak, and she must have agreed with the two of them. I originally thought that the mountains and forests were the best place for bandit activities, and I should leave overnight, but when I saw them, I didn't stop, and it was probably like killing them, so I had to nod in silence.

But I regretted it in my heart, but I had already said it, and I couldn't take it back. Looking at the mountains and forests getting closer and closer in the distance, I prayed in my heart that my judgment was wrong.

The mountains and forests are indeed full of birds singing and flowers, with lush trees, and some wild fruit trees. They can be picked at any time on the road to quench thirst. There are traces of picking before. Obviously, the official road building is taking this into consideration here, so that passersby can stop and eat a wild fruit to rest for a while.

The carriage slowly entered the mountains and forests. There was no one on this road for ten days and half a month, so you could stop at will. Even if you encounter passing vehicles, you can make room for them.

So we found a relatively cool place and stopped here. Today we were going to rest here. After parking, Li En immediately carried a bow and arrow, and arrows, and took Li En into the forest. I shouted, "Please pay attention to this point, there may be large beasts in this forest."

I don’t know if they heard it, but with Leng Zheng’s skills and Li En’s assistance, he could kill him even if he met a grizzly bear. I stayed and took care of Ouyang Lan to avoid the last time. I said, “You wait in the car, I’ll go nearby to prepare some dry firewood.”

"I want to go with you." Ouyang Lan whispered.

"One person is enough, and it's nearby."
