The night wind grew stronger and stronger, mixed with snowflakes and wrapped in cold, mercilessly attacking the Jieshan River Valley, ravaging the group of men and horses hiding in the depths of the Jieshan River Valley.

The soldiers entered the big tent: "Bai Shuai, the count has come out, and we still have one hundred and ninety-five war horses left." Among them, there were 115 horses in the prime of life......"

Bai Shuai waved his hand: "Pick ten stallions that are slightly old and weak, and kill them first to satisfy everyone's hunger." ”

The soldiers hesitated, with reluctance in their eyes.

"Go ahead, count my Daqing among them. Bai Shuai said and got up, "I know you are reluctant, these horses have accompanied us for all these years, and they have really made great contributions to our birth and death." My Daqing, who has saved me several times. Alas, let's go, we have to survive this bitter winter, and we can only rely on them. ”

On the flat ground outside the big tent, the soldiers really picked out ten horses and began to slaughter them.

No one went to watch the scene, and the owners of several horses hid behind the tent to wipe away tears.

Only Hei Xiaobai was indifferent, tinkering with his never-ending medicinal herbs.

"Hey, why don't you go and take a look, it's good to drink some horse blood while it's hot. At least it can suppress hunger. "Someone proposed.

Hei Xiaobai's eyes were calm, "I'm not hungry." Go ahead. ”

The horses were slaughtered and the meat was boiled over a fire, and soon the smell wafted through the valley.

Those young soldiers were more greedy than the veterans, and when they smelled the fragrance, they poured out one after another and waited around a few cauldrons, just waiting for the meat to be cooked.

Xiao Lingzi was also caught in it, half a year in the mountains running around, marching and fighting, he grew taller, but his little face was much darker, and he lost weight, he looked at the steaming cauldron and drooled, "Grandpa, is it cooked?" I can't wait. ”

Lao Hei laughed: "It's early, wait obediently, kid-"

The meat was finally cooked, Bai Feng personally came over to distribute it, he held the spoon in his hand, scooped a piece of meat into a bowl for everyone, a big spoonful of soup, and ordered with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, be careful of scalding - everyone hasn't been exposed to meat for a long time, it's hungry - haha, it's delicious, there will be tomorrow, and ten more horses will be killed tomorrow, as long as we survive this winter, when the spring grass sprouts, it will be fine, at that time, the grass and trees will compete, and the wild things will breed, and our days will be better! Grass roots, vegetable leaves, and leaves can be satisfied——"

The soldiers have been hit by successive setbacks due to hunger and cold recently, and everyone was originally negative and uncomfortable in their hearts, but when Bai Shuai said this, they were all happy.

One by one, they happily ate meat and drank soup.

The meat of the ten horses was quickly divided.

"Did everyone get it? didn't miss anyone?" Bai Feng asked with a smile while scraping the bottom of the pot.

"It's all gone—it's all eaten—" The sentry replied loudly as he looked around.

"But Bai Shuai, you haven't eaten a bite yet—you're missing yourself!" a pro-soldier suddenly noticed.

When he shouted, everyone gathered around.

But everyone was so hungry that they had already eaten and drunk the meat and soup that had been given to them.

There is no one left, so even if you want to give Bai Shuai a mouthful, it is gone.

"Don't kill a horse again. "Someone proposed.

"Forget it, I'll kill it tomorrow. I'm not hungry. Rest, all of you. It looks like there is heavy snow tonight, and tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, how to survive the next few days will depend on these horses. ”

Since the horses were reluctant to kill again, Bai Shuai could only survive tonight hungry.

Some creeps began to wipe away tears.

Hei Ling suddenly rushed over and hugged Bai Feng's arm, "Grandpa Bai, why didn't you say it earlier, I just drank a few sips of soup, I drank half a bowl of soup more than others-" He cried.

A figure walked over slowly, holding a bowl and handing it to Ling'er.

A smell of fragrance.

Hei Ling was stunned at first glance, and there was half a bowl of broth in the bowl.

Looking up, the owner of the bowl was a middle-aged man with a dark face and a scruffy beard.

After being surprised, Hei Ling hesitated: "Thank you, uncle, but you haven't eaten it yourself, uncle." ”

The uncle smiled slightly, turned around and left.

Bai Feng didn't drink this half bowl of soup anyway.

"Then I'll pour it out—" The black spirit couldn't feed it into Grandpa Bai's mouth, so he was angry.

"The little thing of the loser-" Bai Feng laughed, took the bowl, but didn't drink it, and brought it to a seriously injured soldier, "Drink it, kid." Follow me, you have suffered. ”

Xiao Bing drank it one sip after a tear, struggling to kowtow on the pillow: "I don't regret following General Bai at all." When I came out to be a soldier, my grandfather said that General Bai loves soldiers like a son and cares about the world, let me follow you well, no matter what hardships and sins, don't be afraid. ”

Bai Feng checked the wound for him, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt at all, Brother Black and White bandages, it doesn't hurt at all. The creep squeezed out a laugh.

"What a good boy—what a good boy, but it's a pity that I suffered with my useless handsome. ”

The night was snowy and cold, and the soldiers huddled tightly in a few low places between the valleys, but it was still difficult to resist the erosion of the wind and cold.

In the middle of the night, Bai Feng got up and walked around the big tent, inspected it for a while, and then went to Hei Ling's side to see his sleeping appearance, and then went to Hei Xiaobai's bed, he also fell asleep. Bai Feng stretched out his hand and touched this face, "Thin, stinky boy, I have suffered a lot with my grandfather." ”

Black and white fell asleep motionless.

"It's not a way to go on like this—the cold winter is long, and the days in the mountains are miserable, even if we survive the cold winter, when the spring snow melts and the rivers thaw, the situation may not improve, but I am afraid that those people outside the mountains will start a joint attack again. If I make a mistake, I won't be able to catch up with every step—"

Sigh as you go out.

Hei Xiaobai turned up and watched the figure walk away. In a short period of time, his figure has added vicissitudes of aging.

Grandpa is old.

The burden of thousands of pounds is on the shoulders, and it is impossible not to be old.

Bai Feng went out and walked slowly in the river valley, and walked into the old black tent, where a straw rope was lit, and the grass rope was dim, like a beam of fluorescence flickering in the night.

Under the lamp, Lao Hei sat alone.

"You didn't sleep either, old black?"

"Big brother didn't sleep either?"

Two people sat side by side.

"Call Lao Yun too. It's been a long time since the old buddies sat together. ”

As soon as Bai Feng spoke, a thin figure walked in at the door, and Lao Yun smiled: "It's really hearty, I can't sleep." ”

The night in the mountains is silent, and the birds and beasts in the mountains have long been captured by the old black belt, and in the middle of the night they can only hear the howling of hungry wolves on the distant hills.

"The house leak is even rainy - the deep winter is already bitter cold and difficult, we lack food and clothing, life is difficult, and now there is a heavy snowfall, is it that God is going to cut us off?"

Bai Feng looked up at the night sky and muttered emotion.

"It's really worrying, I think that since we started the army, we have fought with the Namoro soldiers countless times, forcing them to retreat step by step, such an achievement, the court will not be unaware, Your Majesty will not guess that this war achievement is our establishment. It's just why they didn't come to appease us for a long time, so that we could get a regular military salary, and we wouldn't have to be trapped here like thieves. I really don't know what the situation is in the DPRK and China now? Is it really God who wants to see us in a desperate situation and refuse to take pity on us. Lao Yun said slowly.

The old black neck stalked: "Don't go around, it's none of God's business, it's all done by man." One day, let me catch Yin Zuoxiang's old son, Qin Jian's little child, I tore them with my own hands!"

Bai Feng took out the long sword at his waist, slashed the stones on the ground with one sword after another, slashing sparks, and there was a loud sound, "I saw Wu Hook, the railing was patted all over, no one would, and I just asked the heroes in the world, how many people can be happy and have the last laugh——"

"Whose verse is this? It sounds familiar to me in the front, but it is unfamiliar in the back—" Lao Yun asked with a smile.

Bai Feng stood up, and the vicissitudes of life slowly walked out of the dark tent, "No one will, Denglin Yi - hate only hate, this world, injustice, too much, too many ......"

Step by step in your own singing.

"Big brother is sad—" Lao Yun looked at the figure and muttered.

"Are we really at a dead end?" glared at the old black.

"If you really don't reach a dead end, according to the eldest brother's temperament, will he be worried like this? Don't you see that his temples are all white?"

"yes, why is it that this snow has fallen, and he is suddenly so much older?"

The night was silent, only the snow was falling.

The snow is merciless and covers the suffering of the world.

Hei Xiaobai woke up hungry from a dream.

When I woke up and turned my head, everyone around me was still asleep.

He got up and walked out of the big tent, and the snow was all over the field, and he stepped on it a foot to a foot thick.

The wind and snow show no signs of stopping.

His young face couldn't help but show a sad look, looking up at the high sky, looking at the mountains on all sides, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, chewing the cold in his mouth, his body was cold, he turned around and entered the tent, but he didn't go back to his big tent, and habitually walked to the main tent where Bai Feng was.

The guards at the door were already familiar with him, and they didn't stop him, letting him go in and out at will.

For several months, he had developed the habit of coming here every morning to take a look, not talking, just looking at it from a distance, and his heart was steady.

He didn't see that familiar figure today.

Grandpa's bunk was empty.

What about people?

I suddenly had a sense of foreboding in my heart.

When he went out to ask the guard, the guard shook his head: "I didn't see Bai Shuai come out——"

Hei Xiaobai entered the door again, looking for it all over the big tent, but he really didn't see the familiar figure.

When I went out, except for the footprints I had just stepped out, there was snow outside, and I didn't see other people's footprints.

"Bai Shuai disappeared?" everyone was alarmed, everyone got up one after another, and the whole team was alarmed for a while.

Bai Feng did disappear, and at the same time, there were a hundred pro-soldiers.
