Chapter 144: Twists and Turns
The wind and the snow kept the eyes open, but because we were walking along the river, we didn't lose our way yet. Although Yan Wei www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion didn't let me hold him, I could feel that his physical condition was not optimistic. His breathing grew heavier and heavier, and every step he took felt like he was in great pain.
Heaven had mercy on us, and in the case of extremely low visibility, we finally found a small cave under the mountain wall. The cave was covered with hay, the ground was covered with ashes from burning plants, and the walls were blackened with smoke. It seems that there should be a lot of Orion frequenting.
After entering the cave, we still sat together wrapped in fox furs. Yan Wei was pranayama, and I looked at the falling snow at the entrance of the cave and took a bite of a persimmon.
Astringent, my tongue is numb! Isn't this a pit sister! I immediately threw the persimmon to the ground, and I wanted to make up for it with two more feet and step on it.
Although Yan Wei couldn't see, his hearing was exceptionally good, and as soon as he heard the movement, he opened his eyes and asked me, "What's wrong?"
I smiled and said, "It's okay, the persimmons are fragrant and sweet, so you can eat them too!"
To my disappointment, he was unmoved, closed his eyes again and said, "If you don't have enough to eat, eat my too!"
I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no, you can keep it for yourself!"
He didn't answer at the moment, I looked at his face like death, and I had some bad premonitions in my heart, afraid that he would fall asleep like this and never wake up again, so I found a topic and asked him, "Do you know who captured us?"
"The man of the One-Eyed King. He replied simply and cleanly.
"One-eyed king, he arrested a noble son like you, and he said in the past, what are you doing with me a young man from the country?" I asked.
He replied, "The One-Eyed King makes a profit by trafficking in human beings, and he doesn't need a reason to arrest people at all, no matter who he is, he can sell them for a sky-high price." ”
When I heard him talk about human trafficking, I immediately remembered the old woman at Dafeng Restaurant. It was not as simple as Yan Wei said that the one-eyed king of intuition had arrested me, and I was even more afraid that he would come to arrest me because he knew my identity. If the fact that I'm still alive is revealed, the Jiang clan will definitely not give up...
The more I thought about these things, the more headache I became, and when I was worried, Yan Wei's head suddenly leaned on my shoulder and said, "Let me lean on it." ”
In the cave, you can lie down if you want, but he has to put his head on my shoulder, isn't this reverie?
"You don't have any special hobbies, right?" I turned to look at him, and saw that his eyes were slightly weak.
His slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he said, "I don't like women except for anything else." ”
I said, "I don't like men." ”
He smiled weakly and said, "Don't worry, I just like men and I won't like you like this." ”
I retorted to him with a feeling of being frenzied and jumping, "What's wrong with me like this? I'm able-bodied, physically and mentally healthy, well-looking, upright, old-fashioned, what's wrong?"
He said coldly, "Do you think these are all benefits? You couldn't be more wrong. All the things you think are good will harm you, and only the bad things in you can save you. ”
Although his words were one-sided and extreme, they hit my sore spot at once, and instantly left me speechless.
After a moment of silence, he seemed to fall asleep, and I dozed off, but it wasn't long before I was woken up by his cough. Seeing him bent over and his body trembling violently, I suddenly felt a little depressed. The doctor died for me, and Yuqiao died for me, could it be that even him...
No, it's not time to give up. I patted myself in the face and immediately decided to find him something to eat. With food, he can recover his strength, and his injured body can also recover.
I told him what I thought, and he didn't stop me, but told me to come back quickly if I couldn't find it, and told me to be safe.
I'm very confident that I can't catch rabbits, so it shouldn't be a problem to pick up a few wild fruits in the mountains. But it turned out that I was overly optimistic, and I trekked through the knee-deep snow for a long time, and only found some black dates hanging from the trees.
Although I picked a large handful of black dates, this thing could not fill my stomach, so driven by a strong appetite, I walked forward for a while, but unfortunately fell into a trap dug by hunters.
I shouted in the pit until my voice was hoarse, and at first I tried to climb up, but then I simply gave up, and sat in the snow and cried out weakly, "Is there anyone?
With such a heavy snowstorm, it is estimated that even the people of the One-Eyed King will not come! and it is impossible to expect Yan Wei to save me, and boundless despair will immediately invade me.
Just as I was halfway buried in the snow, I suddenly heard a dog barking that was getting closer and closer. Pleasantly surprised, I stood up and shouted, "Help!"
After shouting, the barking of the dog magically disappeared, and everything returned to peace. I thought it was an auditory hallucination, and I couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Hey, there's really a person. "A small head with a tiger-striped hat appeared on top of the pit. I couldn't see her clearly, but I could hear her voice crisp and childish, like a heavenly sound.
She excitedly shouted into the distance, "Grandpa, come on, there is really someone in the pit!"
"Hello, come on!" a voice echoed her. For the rest of my life, I was speechless with excitement.
After a while, the voice came, also wearing a tiger-striped hat. He threw the rope down the pit and said, "Lad, tie the rope to your body, and I will pull you up." ”
I responded, tied the rope neatly, and was pulled up by the grandfather and grandson. My first feeling was that I had an aura of immortality! I had experienced a time when I had not been nine deaths and one life, but I was able to live every time, and this is no longer something that can be explained by miracles.
When I came up, I thanked them. The white-bearded old man said, "You are not a hunter in this mountain, why did you fall into this pit?"
I told him, "I had an accident when I was passing by in a carriage with my son, and the carriage rolled down the mountain, and my son was seriously injured, and I fell into a trap when I came to find food." ”
The uncle patted me on the shoulder and praised me for being a good and righteous boy, and then said, "I will live in the mountains for a long time, and I will cure some bruises." I'll go with you to see your son-in-law, and I may be able to heal his wounds. ”
When I heard this, I was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. He waved his hand and shouted to the girl, "Sour dates, climb the plow!"
The little girl in the tiger's skin robe sat down nimbly on the plough pulled by the two long-haired black dogs, and I took them with me to the little cave.
On the way, he chatted with the old man again, and only then did he know that he and his granddaughter originally lived on the top of the mountain, and he didn't want the snow to crush the thatched hut on the top of the mountain, and no one could live on the top of the mountain, so he packed some things and prepared to go downstream to join the familiar hunters.
I sighed, no wonder the ancients often said that good and bad depend on each other, it is really not bad at all. Anyway, now that we have met the old man, Yan Wei and I will be able to walk out of the mountain alive.
When I arrived at the small cave, I called Yan Wei's name and rushed in very excitedly, but I was disappointed to find that the fox was still on the ground, but his people were nowhere to be found.
Was he afraid of causing me, so he sneaked away? Or was he captured by the One-Eyed King's people, or was he found by his own people? I panicked and rushed into the wind and snow and shouted, "Yan Wei?"
The uncle let the sour jujube go into the cave to warm up, and carried the big burden on the plow into the cave, and then let go of the two dogs pulling the plow and said, "I won't leave today, I'll help you find someone." Don't worry, both of my dogs are good hunters, and they will be able to get people back for you in no time. ”
I felt tears in my eyes, and before I could say the word thank you, I heard two dogs barking in front of the mountain wall not far away.
I rushed over with my uncle and took a look at the bulging layer of snow, and it was really Yan Wei. I don't know how long he's been lying here, but he's been buried in the snow. I was about to cry out when I was suddenly scared, but the uncle comforted me and said, "Young man, don't be sad yet, this person is still hot, and there must be salvation." You carry him on my back, and it is important to carry him to the cave first. ”
Uncle is really a light guiding me in the dark, I quickly cooperated with him and got Yan Wei back into the cave. After settling in, the uncle said, "He's frozen through, young man, you warm him first, and I'll go find some firewood to make a fire." ”
"Okay!" I responded, and the uncle took the firewood knife and took the sour dates out of the cave.
