After walking another ten miles, a man ran down from the pavilion in the distance. He threw himself in front of Leng Linjiang and cried, "Shao Yin, you must bring Boss Yao back alive."
Leng Linjiang was seriously startled this time. After seeing the person clearly, he glared and shouted: "He Denglou, you plan to scare me to death, and then inherit my house of beautiful maids." ?"
He Denglu shed tears and continued to cry: "Shao Yin, what time has it been? You are still in the mood to joke. Let me tell you, if you don't bring Boss Yao back, don't come back either."
Leng Linjiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gave He Dengglou a big shock: "Others don't know A'ao's abilities, but you don't know it either?"
He Denglu instantly shed his tears and grinned: "It's true, Shaoyin, don't worry, we still don't know who will save whom."
"I'll beat you to death, you little bastard." Leng Linjiang raised his hand and was about to pull away.
He Denglou quickly ducked and threw the baggage into Leng Linjiang's arms, so heavy that he almost fell off his horse.
He roared at the top of his lungs again: "You little brat, there's something packed in here. It's so heavy, are you going to tire me out?"
He Denglu curled his lips: "There are money, medicine, clothes, and all kinds of cakes that Boss Yao likes to eat."
"..." Leng Linjiang was completely defeated by He Dengglou.
The strong wind swept the sand and dust, and after the attack, Chiyayi was covered with choking dust everywhere.
Meng Sui waited for five days in a wine shop in Chiyayi. On the morning of the sixth day, the red sun rose. After the wind and sand, it was freezing cold, but the weather was very sunny.
When Gu Chen came back from outside, he felt a chill all over his body. He climbed into the hot kang, and the heat gradually subsided. Then he raised his head and asked Meng Suigai: "It's been five days, Master, they haven't come yet." , we can’t wait here forever.”
Wang Xian turned over the potatoes in the charcoal basin and said gloomily: "The clues have been pointing to Gaochang Kingdom. If we return to the Fifth Beacon, wouldn't the road we took before be wasted?"
Meng Suige thought for a while, looked out the window and watched the wind and sand getting smaller, and said attentively: "Then, why don't we go directly to Gaochang Country."
Gu Chen patted his thigh and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, let's go to Gaochangguo." He poked Chen Gui with his elbow: "Old Chen, what do you say."
Chen Gui's face had long since healed, but he was still very weak. He didn't really want to go to Gaochang. He put a felt blanket on his legs and huddled on the hot kang. His voice sounded weak: "Go to Gaochang." Our country has to climb Mount Tanhan, and at this time of year the dripping water turns to ice, can we survive?"
A few people were only busy discussing going to Gaochang State, but they forgot about the Tanhan Mountain that lay across the road.
The mountain is high and steep, and the snow never melts in the hot summer. Now at this time of year, it snows heavily every day. In places where the snow is so thick, it can almost reach your knees. You can't even ride a horse, and you can only rely on your two legs. , walked out with difficulty.
Gu Chen thought for a while and patted his thigh: "Then leave the horse at the mountain pass. Let's bring more clothes to keep out the cold and climb over the mountain. Tanhan Mountain is not big. With our legs and feet, we can climb it in two or three days at most." It’s over.”
Others nodded.
It’s just a snow-covered Tanhan Mountain. Is it really scary?
Seeing that no one else had any objections, Chen Gui had nothing to say. He just sighed and slowly touched his knee.
This old cold leg is going to suffer again.
Walking along the upper reaches of the dry river, all day long, we can see the withered poplar trees and the frozen riverbed.
Three people and two horses wandered out of the Populus euphratica forest. In front of them was the endless yellow pasture, and as far as the eye could see, there were mountains and snow-capped peaks.
Both of them had sloppy beards, their faces were full of vicissitudes of life, and they looked tired.
Xie Mengxia breathed a long sigh of relief, and his voice was full of vicissitudes that he had never experienced before: "Oh, we have finally come out, it's not easy." He paused slightly, then looked at Han Changmu: "Jiuchao, let's find a place Take a break."
Han Changmu looked down at Yao Yao, who was asleep in his arms, nodded and said, "That's okay, let's take a rest."
The two men found a flat place to dismount.
These days, Xie Mengxia has become very comfortable in gathering firewood and making soup.
He cleared out a clean area and laid out a rug.
Han Changmu placed Yao Yao in place and bled him again.
Xie Mengxia turned around and looked doubtfully: "Jiuzhao, Ayao woke up yesterday. Although she was not in good spirits and didn't talk much, she was able to eat and drink. I thought she would be fine now. Why did you fall asleep again today?"
Han Changmu stared at Yao Yao with his eyes motionless, huddled in his sleeping bag, his face was frighteningly white, and even his lips were black and blue.
Her high fever never completely subsided. It always came back and the fever came back again, and the fever came back again, over and over again without end.
Although her injured leg has returned to its normal color, the swelling has not gone away. No matter how much blood is squeezed, it is still bright red, and there is no sign of poisoning.
In just a few days, the man in the sleeping bag had lost weight rapidly. Under the thin skin, veins appeared, and the bones were protruding, making it painful to touch.
He shook his head: "When I took the pulse, I could detect A Yao's aura being disordered. Most of the poisonous blood was drained out in time, but there was still a trace of poisonous blood entering A Yao's blood and running around in her body. , she will always be groggy."
"Then, what should we do? Ah Yao can't continue like this, right?" Xie Mengxia started to worry.
Han Changmu tilted his head and smiled resolutely: "How could it happen? When we enter Gaochang, I will go find medicine." He turned to look at the people around him and murmured to himself as if to reassure himself: "Ah Yao will be fine."
Xie Mengxia stared at the snow-capped mountains in the dusk and frowned slightly: "Jiuzhao, we must have been attacked five or six times along the way."
Han Changmu nodded and re-wrapped the wound on his shoulder with a fine white cotton cloth: "It's not much. There will be more if it doesn't work on the next journey."
"Tell me, do these people have anything to do with my second brother?" Xie Mengxia ate some sesame cake without knowing the taste, hesitated for a long time, and then asked.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not want King Qin to get involved.
After all, they are brothers.
Han Changmu lowered his head and kept quiet for a moment, then said: "It doesn't look like it. Although he has always been afraid of you, he has not done anything treasonous like colluding with the Turks to hunt you down."
Xie Mengxia chuckled: "Yes, in fact, in comparison, he is indeed more suitable for that position than me."
Han Changmu was stunned for a moment, and after glancing at Xie Mengxia's face for a moment, he saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, and smiled: "That's not necessarily the case."
Xie Mengxia chuckled and said nothing more.
Along the way, they encountered five or six groups of pursuers one after another. They were all dressed as Turks and used ruthless tactics to kill people.
Fortunately, both of them had the skills to survive. Although they suffered some injuries and broke a horse, they finally escaped from Mohe Yanqi after fighting all the way.
Xie Mengxia also cleaned up his wounds, which were already scabbing. In the dark night, the snow-capped mountains were covered with silver light. He clicked his tongue and said, "I have been saying for a long time that the snow in Tanhan Mountain is thick at this time of year." , can bury people alive, is it true?"
Han Changmu nodded: "It is true that the snow is thick. The thickest part is enough to reach the knees. If a fight in the mountains causes big noise, shakes the snow, triggers an avalanche, and burying people alive is not an accident. thing.
Xie Mengxia looked solemn: "Then you really need to be more careful."
Han Changmu patted Xie Mengxia's shoulder and smiled lightly: "You have always been blessed with good fortune, so nothing will happen to you."
Early the next morning, the two packed up their gear, galloped towards Tanhan Mountain.
After walking for a full day, I saw the distant mountains lying in front of me. The mountains were majestic and covered with silvery white snow.
In the dusk, clouds gathered in the sky, and a thin but sharp wind swirled in the mountains.
Han Changmu looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "It's going to rain. Let's go into the mountains quickly and find a place to hide."
As soon as we walked into the mountains, the surroundings suddenly became dark, raindrops fell without warning, and the dead branches crackled.
The rain came quickly and densely, being blown by the wind and hitting them with crackling sounds. It was very cold, but in an instant, the three of them were all wet and looked quite miserable.
Xie Mengxia hurriedly dug out the waterproof clothes made by Yao Yao from his bag, handed one to Han Changmu, and put one on himself.
Han Changmu put his clothes on Yao Yao without hesitation.
The snow at the foot of the mountain was only a thin layer, not that thick. The two men urged the horses forward, and the walking was smooth.
The further we went up, the thicker the snow became, the wind was strong and the rain was strong, and the impermeable clothes were blown up by the wind, and no rain could stop them.
The horse's hooves slipped in the snow, making it extremely difficult to walk.
The two of them walked arduously in the mountains for a long time. The sky was completely dark. It was raining endlessly, and the rain and fog were lingering. The three of them were soaked and glistening with water.
Han Changmu looked at the light of the lantern and finally saw a dark stone cave not far away.
He reined up his horse, lit a torch, and threw it into the cave.
Only a popping sound was heard, the torch rolled a few times in the cave, burned for a while, and then went out.
There was no other movement in the cave. It was still deep and calm, and it seemed to be a safe place.
He nodded to Xie Mengxia: "It's okay, let's go, let's rest there tonight."
Xie Mengxia wiped water all over her face, her teeth chattering from the cold: "Hurry, hurry, go, go, I will freeze to death."
The two men urged the horses over and tied them in the woods next to the cave, making a small disguise.
Xie Mengxia found a dead branch that came to hand, and stood outside the cave and knocked on it for a while.
