On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Yingqi wrote four big characters on a mountain wall, with "heaven and earth" on one side and "ancestor" on the other. Then Zhi Yanchong and Di Yu led more than 500 people to worship together. More than 500 people were divided into fifty-two teams, standing behind Di Yu, Zhi Yanchong, Ouyang Shi, A Lu Man, and Yang Kaiyuan, and they were neat and tidy, and there was no chaos at all.

In this Spring Festival, more than 500 people spent this time in the valley. All kinds of living materials are still scarce, and even whether they can get out of the valley alive is very questionable, but most people feel an unprecedented sense of belonging, and they vaguely feel that no matter what happens, they have something to rely on.

Everyone boiled hot water as wine, congratulated each other on surviving the catastrophe, and prayed together for the arrival of spring.

"Ahh It's snowing! Someone shouted.

Zhou Sheng, who has a soft spot for farming, sighed: "It's a pity! If I'm out there and have a few acres of fields, I'll have a good harvest this year! ”

The snow was getting heavier and colder, and everyone took refuge in their huts. Relying on the heat generated by the honeycomb coal stove to fight the severe cold of the wind and snow.

After receiving the first ration of the new year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ouyang Shitan heard about the Khitans' treatment of them: the Khitans actually planned to sell the sick people.

After hearing a few words, Yang Yingqi was shocked: "What did you say? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "After the beginning of spring, those of us who are not sick will be sold in batches to the princes and nobles of Goryeo and Mongolia. That's it. ”

Yang Yingqi said angrily: "Is this news accurate? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "I don't know if it's accurate, but the possibility should be very high." After all, most of our group of people were originally subordinate households, or simply slaves or captives, and it was normal for the Khitans to do this, do you still hope that they will give us freedom and give us some fields to plant? ”

Di Yu nodded and said, "I think this news should be true, even if it is not hit, it is not far away." Sell us to Mongolia and Goryeo, firstly, we can make a little money, and secondly, if any of us have an epidemic, we can also blame the distant state. ”

Aru said, "Then let's kill it." ”

Yang Kaiyuan said: "I don't want to be a slave anymore, I'd rather die in battle!" "In the more than two years since the family was ruined, this Sven teenager's face has been weathered.

Yang Yingqi said: "I don't know how many Khitans are guarding the valley mouth, and besides, they occupy the advantage of the terrain, and it is not the best choice to kill them, well, it is best to ......" He suddenly ran out, Di Yu and the others were stunned for a moment and followed, and came to the bottom of the cliff nailed with iron arrows.

"Look!" Yang Yingqi exclaimed with some excitement: "Maybe I succeeded!" ”

The water-blocking function of those water bags is very average, so a small half of them have already seeped out, flowing on the open wings of the iron arrows below, and as soon as the weather turns cold, they all form hard ice, clinging to the snow, and are froze on the cliff wall by the cold wind, like a ladder made of ice.

Orihiko said: "I don't know if it's strong enough." The ice is very slippery, but I'm afraid it's not easy to climb. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I have left a hole at the end of those arrows to thread the rope." Besides, as long as someone can climb up and find a fulcrum to tie the rope, they can hang us up one by one. ”

Zhi Yan rushed and said, "Okay, I'll go and try it with Chen Ahou." ”

Di Yu said: "Wait for the snow to stop, climb the mountain in the snow, you don't want to die?" ”

The snow stopped on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but the weather was still cold. The group climbed to the platform, which had ropes hanging all the time, so it didn't take much effort to get up, even though there was snow.

The iron arrow at the bottom was only one person high, and it could be touched by reaching out, Chen Ahou shook it and said happily: "Okay, it's very strong!" Xiao Yang Gongzi is really amazing! This method can also be thought of, it must be the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang! So saying, he climbed up with the rope, and as he went up, he fastened the rope to the hole at the end of each arrow. When he had gone up, he found the edge of a rock, and tied it with a long rope that he had prepared and hung down.

It was windy above, but Di Yu and the others almost cheered as soon as they came up: the other side of this mountain is really a gentle slope!

Ouyang Shi smiled: "Okay, okay!" This hillside is very gentle! I can definitely go down! ”

Di Yu said: "It seems that there is no problem with the eyes, but everything is still to be investigated. In this way, Yan Chong and Ouyang, you go down first, talk about the situation with Ying Qi, discuss it, and see what to do next, I will go with Aluman and Ah Monkey to explore the way. ”

After going down the mountain, Ouyang Shi told Yang Yingqi about the above situation, and Yang Yingqi pondered for a moment and said: "Most of this road can be passed, and the next step is how to mobilize everyone." ”。

Di Yu and the others did not return until the next day, and when they went out without rations, but on the way they caught a hare to satisfy their hunger, and when they came back they were only tired—they did not dare to sleep outside, and on this cold day, if there was no fire, they were afraid that they would not wake up if they fell asleep.

Di Yu took a few sips of hot water and said, "I know everyone is in a hurry, but I'm really tired now, wait until I get some sleep." Don't worry, it's good news. ”

There was a stone in this hut with a very flat upward part, which Di Yu had found out about two months ago and had specially asked someone to move in. When he awoke, he picked up a charcoal strip and drew a rough topographical map on the stone: "We have found a way out, and we have marked it along the way." ”

Yang Yingqi had already guessed some clues when he heard Di Yu say that it was "good news" before he went to bed, but he couldn't help cheering when he heard this.

Di Yu said: "I have been going back and forth a lot in the Yanyun area, and I am familiar with the big roads and small roads. So as soon as I walked out of this place...... he put a little on the map, "I determined where we were." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I don't know the specific road, what I want to know most now is where we can go." ”

Di Yu said: "Where do you want to go?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I thought a lot about this day, although I said that I didn't like the Zhao family, but the Central Plains is our hometown after all." Besides, if we left, we would become fugitive slaves in the Khitan, and we would not be able to gain a foothold in the north, so we had to go south. ”

Di Yu nodded, pointed to the map, and said, "Our people say a lot less, and more is not much. Now Liaoning's national defense affairs are slack, and they are far less stringent than they were back then. I know there is a trail that, if smooth, can reach Xiongju in four days. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Does four days refer to the time of walking? ”

Di Yu said: "I have counted our climate and the physical strength of the five hundred people. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It takes half a day for 500 of us to climb this cliff, and it will take half a day to walk to the intersection you said, so it will take more than five days in total." ”

Ouyang Shi said: "The Khitan people distribute rations once every ten days, and we can completely hide from them." But the question is, will the guards of Xiongzhou let us pass? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If Xiongzhou can't do it, I'm afraid that other border passes will be the same." If you can't go south, where else can you go? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Can you go to the beach?" ”

Di Yuqi said: "By the sea? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "I have an uncle ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his head and said: "No, no, no one has a message, how can he answer!" Besides, it's hard to say whether he will accept us or not. ”

Di Yu said: "In addition to going south, there is only going north." It is still necessary to take small roads, avoid avenues, cross the Bauhinia Ridge, steal through Ulzhou from the secluded road, cross the Sanggan River, bypass Datong Mansion, and climb over the Great Wall, and you can enter the grassland. ”
