The Golden Age Chapter 636: Human Line

A wilderness trail trampled by pedestrians, Qin Xiao walked forward with a package on his back, always paying attention to the surrounding movement, and his energy was not bad, but Musk Moon, who followed a few steps away, looked exhausted, in his hand. Holding a wooden stick is much slower than ordinary people.

Since they separated from Gu Baiyi's group last night, the two of them walked all the way to the southwest. They couldn't use the official road, they could only walk from the remote path.

It’s just that not all places have roads. Sometimes crossing rivers and forests requires more energy than driving on the spacious official road. At this moment, walking on this wilderness path is already a good road.

Qin Xiao's fourth-grade cultivation base, although he does not seem to be strong, his physique is very strong, and he has suffered a lot in Xiling that year. This journey is really nothing to him.

But for Musk Moon, it's not that simple.

She was born in the palace and grew up in the palace. She is well-dressed and pampered. Even if she leaves Beijing occasionally, there are people who have prepared everything properly, and she does not need to expend any effort.

Even if he flees from Suzhou City in a hurry, he is riding on the official road without expending much effort.

But after separating from Gu Baiyi and others, Qin Xiao took her to remote places, sometimes staggering among the weeds and vines, and sometimes wading across the river. When did this Datang princess suffer After all this hard work, after the end of the day, I was exhausted, and my whole body seemed to fall apart.

In fact, such a journey, not to mention that the Princess of Jinzhiyuye, even ordinary folk women may not be able to support it.

That's all right.

For Musk Moon, the most painful thing is that when walking through the wilderness at night, there are many insects and ants, and from time to time, insects and ants fall on her body. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the princess who is known for her habit of cleanliness. Kind of torture.

She really doesn't know if she can really insist on going to Hangzhou.

It's already dusk, green mountains and green waters, and I wish to see the pine trees standing proudly on the hillside, the pavilions and the wild flowers blooming by the roadside are simple and tough, which is something you can't see in Kyoto.

Qin Xiao knows that Sheyue is pampered and dignified. Such a journey is never easy for her. She looks back at Sheyue from time to time, deliberately slowing down, waiting for Sheyue to follow.

Seeing that Sheyue's legs couldn't move away, and the smooth forehead even oozes sweat, knowing that the physical exertion of the princess has reached a limit.

Qin Xiao looked around, saw a stream on the side of the road, and finally said: "His Royal Highness, let's rest and leave."

At this time, She Yue's legs were as if he had been filled with lead. When she walked down this day, her whole body was dripping with sweat, soaking into the coarse cloth clothes, there was a faint sour smell.

"Are you tired?" She Yue's pretty face was calm.

Although she was on the run, the princess still hopes to maintain the nobility of Princess Datang, although at this moment it seems that the noble appearance of the princess has long since disappeared, and some are just fleeing from famine.

Qin Xiao wondered why I should stop and rest, you don't have any points in your heart?

But knowing that the princess wants face and doesn't want to show weakness in front of a courtier, she can only say: "Yes, I have been walking for a day, and I am too tired. Please allow the princess to rest for a while." Pointing to the nearby stream and said: "It happens that there is a stream here, and the princess can wash her face."

The princess nodded slightly, seemingly calm, but she let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She walked to the stream and saw that the stream was clear, she was overjoyed.

When she was in the palace, the surroundings were naturally abnormally clean. Even so, the palace people would still wipe the surrounding things every day, even if it was just an ordinary incense burner, they had to wipe out the light.

And Her Royal Highness takes a bath every morning and evening, and there are petals specially used for bathing,

This has become a habit like eating and sleeping.

Even on the way to Suzhou, I couldn't move on the boat.

However, after arriving in Suzhou City, I haven't had a bath for three days, which is simply intolerable for She Yue.

I looked back at Qin Xiao and saw that he was facing her back. She Yue thought to herself that this kid still understands the rules. She saw a stone beside the stream. She walked over and washed her face with stream water. Very thirsty, the stream is clear, I really want to drink a few sips, but the pampered princess will naturally not easily quote the stream in the wilderness.

I wiped my face with stream water, feeling refreshed, and I simply sat on the rock and took off the cloth shoes and cloth socks on my feet.

These shoes and socks are very uncomfortable to wear on the feet. When the cloth stockings were removed, a pair of exquisite and small feet were exposed. She looked back and saw that Qin Xiao was still standing there with her back to herself, relieved. He held up one of his snow-white feet and looked at it, and saw that the soles of the feet were red, and there were even a few blisters.

She Yue bit her lip. She has never suffered from such suffering since she was born.

The shape of Musk Moon’s jade feet is soft, exquisite and chic, and the toe nails are still coated with phoenix juice. Her Royal Highness, who has always paid attention to maintenance, saw her jade feet look like this, feeling aggrieved, and looked up at the sky. Shooting on the ground, the wilderness is full of green, emulsified and beautiful.

Sheyue sat on the rock, soaking her feet in the water, only to find that the stream in the wild was more comfortable than the petals in the palace.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a while. For a moment, she even thought about not going anymore. Sitting here all the time seemed to be the best thing in life.

"There are biscuits here. The princess hasn't eaten anything for a day." Qin Xiao's voice came from behind: "Hurrying on the road requires physical strength. It can't last long without physical strength. After the princess has washed it, eat something first."

The princess gave a "huh". After a while, she reluctantly put on her shoes and socks, then removed her plump and round buttocks from the stone, stood up, and said to Qin Xiao: "Do you want to wash it?" Wash?"

"No need." Qin Xiao turned around at this time and said with a smile: "It was common for me not to take a bath for ten days and eight months."

She Yue was startled, thinking that it would be uncomfortable not to take a bath for a day. If he didn't take a bath for ten and a half months, wouldn't he want to kill himself?

The stream is clear. If it weren't for Qin Xiao's side, Sheyue even had the urge to take off her clothes and wash them in the stream.

"Princess, eat a sesame cake." Qin Xiao has opened the package, took the sesame cake from it, and passed it over. After She Yue took it, he only felt that the sesame cake was hard and ugly. The black spots produced by the fire, frowned, and was about to ask, but saw that Qin Xiao had already held the biscuits in his hand, apart from anything else, he opened his mouth and took a big bite and chewed it tastefully. It seems to be delicious.

Musk Yue ate some snacks in Cishi’s Mansion, but after escaping from Suzhou City yesterday, it’s still not enough water and rice. In addition to walking so far, she is really lack of physical strength and hunger. , I saw the Zhengxiang that Qin Xiao was eating, thinking that the sesame seed looks ugly, but it should taste good. I took a bite, but found that the sesame seed was hard, not much better than the stone. I couldn’t help but frown. I bite a small piece hard, but the entrance is indifferent and difficult to swallow.

Many of her cakes in Kyoto are not available to the folks, even some folks also exist, but the same kind of desserts are made in the palace with more complicated materials and processes.

The most common pastry in the palace is also ten times more delicious than this hard sesame cake.

She couldn't help but spit out a small bite of biscuits, frowned and said: "What is this? Why is it so unpalatable?"

Qin Xiao was taken aback, seeing that Sheyue's face was a little ugly, frowning and saying: "Your Highness, no

Like to eat? This is biscuits, hasn't the princess seen it before? "

"I've heard it, but it's the first time I have seen this kind of sesame seed cake." She Yue said: "There are also sesame seed cakes in the palace, but it's different from this one."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The things in the palace are naturally different from the outside. But this is indeed a real sesame seed, and the palace has changed its appearance. Although it is still called sesame seed, it is actually no longer a sesame seed." /

Sheyue threw the sesame seed back and shook his head and said: "I am not used to eating this sesame seed."

Qin Xiao frowned, wondering when are you still picky? Without persuading, she put the biscuits into the package, took the water bag and handed it over. She Yue took the water bag, opened the stopper, and took a sip from her head up. Her neck was lifted up like a swan, and her neck was as white as jade.

Qin Xiao looked away and waited for She Yue to return the water bag. After Qin Xiao took it, he was not welcome. He also took a big mouthful while looking up. The biscuits were indeed a bit hard, and drinking water was easy to eat.

"You...what are you doing?" Musk said in surprise.

Qin Xiao was taken aback, looked at Musk Moon, with a look of doubt, but saw that the princess's beautiful face showed an angry color, and pointed to the water bag and said: "You... why did you drink too? ?"

Qin Xiao reacted immediately. After the princess drank it, she didn't wipe it herself, and took a sip to the mouth of the bag. Indirectly, it was like kissing Musk Moon.

"There is only one water bag." Qin Xiao was slightly embarrassed: "I don't drink this, what should I drink?"

Shu Yue glared, her face a little ugly, and said: "Don't give me any more water."

Qin Xiaoxin sneered, thinking that you are despising me?

But if you say don’t, don’t, now it’s not enough. When it’s really dry and unbearable, don’t say the bag is filled with water, even if it’s other liquids on my body, you’re afraid No longer dislike it.

"Can we get to Hangzhou smoothly?" She Yue asked.

Qin Xiaodao: "Princess Jiren have their own heavens, so naturally there will be no problems."

"Don't talk about these scenes." She Yue frowned and said: "I want to listen to the truth."

"If the princess doesn't eat or drink water, she won't be able to reach Hangzhou." Qin Xiao said simply this time: "Walking from Suzhou to Hangzhou, and walking on these remote roads, day and night, be more optimistic, also It takes five or six days. This is still under the condition that we are full of energy day and night. Of course, we should not encounter other obstacles on the way. If we are short of physical strength, we will go slower and slower. I am afraid that we will not be able to reach Hangzhou in ten and a half months."

Shu Yue sighed: "It's not that you don't eat it, you biscuits, I...I can hardly choke."

"Can understand." Qin Xiao said: "The princess is golden branches and jade leaves. This kind of biscuits is only the food of the common people. Naturally, the princess can't adapt to it." After a pause, he said: "It's just that the princess doesn't know something, and treats many people. It is said that if you can eat such sesame cakes every day, it is already blessed by the Bodhisattva. In many places, there is a shortage of food and even famines. I have seen it with my own eyes. Such a sesame cake can change a life. Once a person becomes hungry, let alone Biscuits, even weeds and soil will become food."

The princess was slightly surprised: "Can weeds and dirt be eaten?"

"His Royal Highness knows what is the scariest thing in this world?" Qin Xiao looked at the princess's beautiful misty eyes, and slowly said: "It's hungry, people who have not experienced hunger, forever I don’t know how horrible hunger is. Xiling once had a famine and was hungry all over the country. If you want to find the bark of wild grass, you can’t make it. You can only eat dirt to support your stomach and reduce hunger. Although you know you will die, you would rather eat dirt. To die, I don’t want to be a starving ghost. There are also people who change their children and eat. These are not a few words in the book, but real things that have happened in the world."

The princess looked solemn, did not speak, but was silent.
