Chapter 473: Barracks, See Barracks Again

Kang Mo and his only personal soldier hurriedly said, "General, let's go with you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The other soldiers hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go together, General, I can't let you take the risk alone." ”

Xiao Gan shook his head and said, "My martial arts are higher than yours, I can escape in case of danger, and you can only die in vain." Listen to my commands, you are all waiting here. ”

The orders of the Liao army were like a mountain, and the people below the general's orders did not dare not listen, so they could only watch as Xiao Gan slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, stepped on the deep snow, creaked, and slowly walked towards the strange barracks. Until he became a smaller, little black dot, he was almost invisible. But there was still some distance from that strange barracks. Because the barracks is too big, and he is too small.

Kang Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Follow! ”

The soldiers each held their blades, and they also tiptoed through the snow, followed behind Kang Mo, and slowly approached the barracks, keeping a distance from Xiao Gan in front of them, so that Xiao Gan could barely distinguish in their eyes.

Finally, Xiao Gan came to the barracks, he looked back, and then rushed directly into the barracks.

Kang Mo and the others subconsciously stood up, the blade in their hands pointed forward, looking at them in horror, not knowing if it would be a terrifying monster waiting for them, and rushed out of the weird barracks with Xiao Gan in their mouths.

But this scenario did not arise. They were so nervous that their foreheads were sweating, and the biting cold wind seemed to have disappeared.

Time passed little by little, and the nervous hearts of the soldiers hung in their throats. Kang Mo's voice was a little hoarse, and he asked, "Do you have a cup of tea?"

Several soldiers shuddered and said, "It's already over." ”

Kang Mo was too nervous, and he wasn't sure if it had been a cup of tea. The so-called tea kung fu is originally a very vague concept, a cup of tea can be drunk in one sip, or it can be tasted slowly.

Kang Mo never saw Xiao Gan come out of the abandoned and strange barracks.

Kang Mo gritted his teeth, turned back to his disciples and said, "Hurry up, let's run for our lives." ”

Just as they were about to turn around and flee, Xiao Gan's close guards suddenly shouted: "Wait, the general is out!"

The men quickly stood up again and looked back. Sure enough, I saw a person walking out of the barracks and waving at them, I couldn't see it from a distance, but it should be Xiao Gan.

Commo was pleasantly surprised and said, "Great, no danger, hurry, quickly tow the sled." ”

Thinking of the food they had discarded in the barracks, although the amount of food was relatively small, it was for three or four hundred people, and now it was only for twenty or so people, which should be able to sustain for a while.

With the temptation of food, these people, of course, had strength under their feet, and immediately staggered and rushed towards the barracks.

When I finally came to the barracks, I saw Xiao Gan standing at the door and didn't look at them. Instead, he stared blankly into the barracks, not knowing what he was looking at.

Xiao Gan was like this, which made Kang Mo and the others' hearts suddenly tense again, could it be that something happened in the barracks again?

He immediately threw down the sleigh in his hand and rushed into the barracks.

The huge barracks, which could accommodate three or four hundred soldiers, had dozens of tents, but they only took a few of them, and left the others behind. But now, all the tents are gone. Originally, the ground was full of bloodstains, stumps and broken arms, but now, there is only flat snow. It was as if there were no people living in it at all, and there was no trace of them at all.

The most they wanted to see was not a trace of food, only a circle of sleighs, just the same as when they fled a few days ago, except that the top layer was covered in snow and ice.

Did someone take their tents and their belongings away? Then why not take away the sleigh?

Kang Mo was desperate to the extreme, he suddenly thought of a question, turned to the twenty or so Liao soldiers who were looking at the empty barracks stupidly, and shouted: "Look at the fart, hurry up and cut the snow for me, maybe our food and meat will be buried under the snow, quick!"

If you want to meet people on this vast ice field, the probability is very small, and if there is a large group of people who can transport so many of their tents and food, I am afraid that the probability is even lower. So, another possibility has surfaced, that is, things have actually been completely buried by the snowstorm in the past few days.

Although Conmo had little hope for his own inference, for the walls of the sleds were about the same height as they had before, after a few days of blizzards, strangely there was not much snow in the barracks, and there was no obvious difference from when they fled, that is, it was unlikely that they could have buried as many thick tents under the snow, and not a single horn was exposed.

The soldiers rushed into the barracks, drew their knives and used them as shovels in the snow on the ground to cut through the snow and look for tents and other things that might exist below, especially the food they needed most.

However, they had lifted the snow from the barracks until it reached the hard ice below before the blizzard, and they despaired. There were no tents, no supplies, and no food or beef or mutton that they hoped would save their lives.

When they searched all the places that might have been buried by the snow, but did not find their supplies and food, everyone was desperate, and their eyes were focused on Xiao Gan.

After Xiao Gan rushed into this empty and strange barracks earlier, he was stunned by the empty barracks, and then he thought of the possibility of being covered with ice and snow, and immediately searched with his sword, but he didn't find it.

He didn't stop the soldiers from rummaging just now, he was afraid that he had missed it, so he watched these soldiers rummage, and again, there was nothing under the snow. The entire barracks was gone, except for the sleds that were all around, especially the bloodstains. -- Under the snow that the soldiers had turned up, they didn't even see red blood, as if those blood pressure roots didn't exist.

This made Xiao Gan's heart chill. It would be forgivable if someone took away their food and tents, but did they take away the stumps and broken arms of the two hundred or so dead soldiers they left in the barracks?

In particular, the blood, two or three hundred people, and the blood of countless sled dogs, had almost stained the entire barracks of snow red, but they had not found even the slightest trace of blood under the snow they had just turned up.

Xiao Gan glanced at the soldiers who were looking at him, and saw the horror in their eyes. Xiao Gan himself was also very afraid, he could be fearless in the face of thousands of troops, but when he had to face strange ghosts and gods, he didn't know how to deal with them, except for fear, he didn't know what to do.

Since there was no food, not even tents, and although there were sleigh carts in a circle around them, the blizzard was now noticeably smaller, and no one dared to stay in this haunted place, preferring to continue walking on the wilderness ice field.

So Xiao Gan ordered: "If we go south, we will definitely be able to get out of the ice field, everyone cheer up." ”

But now they couldn't even determine which direction the south was, so they could only roughly deduce a direction to be the south based on the direction they had been chasing the treasure hunters and turning halfway, so they made a difficult way forward in that direction.

Until they had no strength to go any further, they set up their tents and rested. According to the previous rule, go to bed first, and then divide the food the next day.

When he was about to share the food the next day, he found that three soldiers in the tent had fallen asleep forever, and his whole body was frozen.

They didn't even have the strength to bury the bodies of their comrades. According to Xiao Gan's decision, the remaining pitiful little food was divided into two parts, one was distributed to the remaining soldiers, and the other was kept by Xiao Gan and placed in his car, which was everyone's last hope.

The blizzard finally stopped, and they even saw the stars in the sky. Although it is small and looming, it can be seen. It's a pity that they can't find the Big Dipper, because only a small part of the sky has stars, and the others seem to be hidden behind dark clouds, and Xiao Gan and they can't recognize any of the other constellations except for the Big Dipper. However, among the stars that appeared in the sky, they could not find the Big Dipper, so they could not use the constellations in the sky to guide the way.

But, after all, seeing the stars in the sky gives them more hope.

One of the soldiers said he recognized the Milky Way. It's very shallow and light, though. Under his guidance, everyone confirmed that it was indeed a Milky Way, although it was diagonally across the horizon. It's not like what they saw in the Liao Dynasty.

According to the soldier, based on the approximate position and direction of the Milky Way in winter, it can be determined that the direction they are now taking is exactly the south.

After receiving this confirmation, everyone cheered and jumped for joy, and it seemed that they had strength under their feet.

They struggled to move forward, and people kept falling along the way. Xiao Gan went from pulling two sleds by himself, to having no strength to throw away one and only pull one sled. Tents are a must, and if you sleep in the wild, even the strongest person will freeze into ice lumps.

What made them palpitate the most was their food, and although they left half of it each time, after a few days, the food they had distributed was no longer enough to stuff their teeth.

At that moment, they saw a small black dot on the horizon again.

Everyone suddenly came to their senses, and they all struggled to rush towards the little black dot.

However, after getting closer, Xiao Gan stood first again, staring blankly at the small black dot in the distance, his eyes were once again full of horror.

The others had had been through it before, so they all stood and looked at him. All they could think of was that the little black dot was probably the eerie barracks they had abandoned from sleigh carts they had come back from a few days earlier.

Now, judging from Xiao Gan's reaction, they have been quite sure of this conclusion. But they still have the last hope in their hearts, hoping that Xiao Gan is wrong. Or maybe after this turn, the food that mysteriously disappeared will reappear in their barracks. That was their last hope.

What they crave most now is food, and with the support of the hope of survival, even if there is little hope, they will rush to it.

Therefore, these soldiers staggered towards the little black dot and continued to move forward, leaving behind Xiao Gan, who was standing there stupidly.
