The scouts sent by Duanmu Xuan had only left the border city for only three or four miles at this time, that is, they had been besieged by heavy snow, and it was even thousands of times more difficult than fighting to the death on the battlefield, and if these people were not the dead soldiers of the Iron Blood Team, I am afraid that they would not even be out of the city gate at this time. And Situ Yan has already launched a snow disaster rescue.

Wu Jin led the bolt and Sun Wang towards the east of Tunzi, after all, Wu De lived in that direction, although he hated Wu De's person, but that person was his father after all, and Situ Yan, a fake ancient who changed his bag, Wu Jin would be worried about Wu De's father in his heart.

All the way to save the horse while looking for people, the horse shed is mostly wood and grass structure, although there is also a collapse, but the damage to the horse is not great, and the house is different, the main beam collapsed, even if it does not hurt people's lives, but the heavy snow on the body of the person will suffocate or freeze to death, Wu Jin They were busy for a night, before they came out to save the horse to find people, there are very few survivors. Most of those who are alive are young children, who have been spared their lives because their parents have protected them with their bodies.

By the time Wu Jin found the house where Wu De lived, it was past noon, and Wu Jin was standing in front of the collapsed house, which was all buried under the snow, and it looked like a pile of snow bags.

After Sun Wang led the rescued horses and some dug up clothes, quilts and other things, and walked back, Wu Jincai tried to call a few times, "Father! Father! …，…。 He shouted loudly again and shouted a few times, but no one responded.

"Young Master, I'm afraid that Master Wu has already driven to the west, the eldest young master's body is important, don't be too sad, the eldest lady is still waiting for you at home!" Shall we go back? The bolt knew that the master was sad. But the eldest lady doesn't like Master Wu, and he doesn't like it either, so naturally she wants to persuade Wu Jin not to waste his efforts. It's important to go back early.

"Parents are the essence of human beings, although my father is sorry for my mother and Yan'er, but he is my enlightenment teacher after all, and as a son of man, how can I regard him as buried in the snow and not let him be buried in the ground?" Wu Jin's words seemed to be explained to the bolt, but if Situ Yan was here. You will hear the meaning of comfort and persuasion in the words.

"But the eldest young master, we have only found the horses in this tun from the east, and we haven't gone to the west yet. The longer she stays, the less hope she has of surviving, and the more worried the eldest lady will be at home. It's better to wait until all the horses are rescued, and then you and the eldest lady will come to bury Master Wu together. After all, death is greater. Let the eldest lady send Master Wu on his last ride? "It's useless to think that it is useless to persuade yourself, only the eldest lady will listen to the eldest young master's persuasion.

Wu Jin thought about it for a while, and felt that the idea of the bolt was very good, although the little sister hated this father, but just like the bolt said, death is great, and all the sins of the past are extinguished like lights with death, so why bother. "That's fine, let's go back first!"

Wu Jin turned around and left like this. If he stayed to rescue Wu De, maybe Wu De would not have died here, after all, Wu De was only in a coma at this time, and he still had a breath in his chest. This is the will of heaven, Wu Jin's departure directly pronounced Wu De's death sentence.

After nightfall, the snow gradually lightened, but fortunately, all 200 horses in the tun were found, and although 10 were injured by the collapsed planks, none of them died.

However, including Lu Ming, only 20 people were rescued, 10 were Chengding, 2 were women, 5 were immature boys, and only 3 were girls. Fortunately, none of the people rescued were too seriously injured, only minor sprains.

Situ Yan and Wu Jin discussed and placed all the people in their own army in the hall of the main house, while the Cheng Ding and the boys who were rescued from the other Wulishli were placed in the house of the bolt, and the women and girls were placed in the house where Cuiping lived. Straw mats were spread on the floor of each house, and those who could not sleep on the kang slept on the ground, but fortunately there was enough quilt. There was a kang burning in the house, and it was quite warm. And the bolt was moved to Wu Jin's house. Finally, everyone was settled for the time being.

The 200 horses had to be placed in a makeshift hut in the backyard, so that they would not be exposed to the snow and freezing. The injured horses were placed in the original stable, Situ Yan took some of the fermented feed in the west wing, fed the horses, and built a temporary stove in the backyard, and found a pot from the collapsed stove room of others to stand on it, and specially boiled water for the horses to drink. Finally calmed the horse's mood.

"Yan'er, you've been busy all day and night, how can your body eat like this? Go and rest! I'll just come with the plug! Wu Jin looked at the little sister who was busy before and after, very distressed, if it wasn't for the fact that he could transfer for his useless brother, where would the little sister have to suffer so much, as long as she stayed at home and survived this winter.

"I'm not tired, cook two more pots of paste, even if you're done, my brother and the bolt will go back to the house to lie down first, this is to save people and horses, don't get tired by then, then it's all in vain!"

"Miss, the minions are not tired, let's let the minions come!"

"No, I can't. Go back to the house! You really don't need you here. If I'm really too busy, I'm sure I'll call you to help, okay? ”

Wu Jin saw that the little sister insisted, and knew that he couldn't help, and looked at the plug so tired that he couldn't even straighten his waist, so he agreed to go back to the house first.

Situ Yan put the two large pots of paste, put them into two large clay pots, and then brought them to the hall, and then called people to eat them in batches, after all, the dishes and chopsticks at home are limited.

"Xiao Wu, I can't stay like this all the time, watching you busy, I'm very awkward?" Lu Ming couldn't sit still for a long time, and he wanted to help.

"Brother Lu, you take a day off first, and tomorrow morning, you will be busy. When you want to stay in bed, don't blame me for being cruel again! ”

"As long as I can help, I can do anything, not to mention lying in bed, just let me not sleep all night, and I have no opinion!" When Lu Ming heard that he could also help, he felt more steady.

"Yes, I also want to help, if I sit down like this, everyone will grow hair!" Ding Gouwa saw that Situ Yan agreed to let Lu Ming help, and he also quarreled.

"Okay, there is just something to trouble Brother Ding, the snow is light at this time, but it hasn't stopped, the horse sheds in the backyard are all temporary grass sheds, not strong, if the snow on the grass roof is too thick, this grass shed will collapse. So I have to pick up the window from time to time to take a look, and if the snow is more than half an arm, call me. I had time to clear the snow! ”

"What's so difficult about this, I'm sleeping in the daytime, and I'm dozing off at this time, I don't know what to do. Don't worry, I'll leave this 'value' matter to me, and I will definitely not miss it! ”

Seeing Ding Gouwa's promise, Situ Yan didn't dare to be careless, but still let Sun Dabeard and Ding Gouwa watch it together. At least two people have a companion. It's also not so easy to get sleepy. And Sun Dabeard's mood was much calmer than when he was just rescued, and it should be Lu Ming's persuasion that played a role.

After everyone had eaten the paste, Situ Yan cleaned the pots and bowls, and then entered the East Room to discuss the next matter with Wu Jin.

Wu Jin and Situ Yan, who were tired for a day and a night, didn't even have the strength to turn over at this time. The two of them sat on the kang against the wall, and the bolt was already lying down and falling asleep at this time.

"Yan'er, the horses in the tun have been recovered, and they can still be resettled now. But just now you said that you were going to the nearby military camp to find more horses. I'm afraid it's very difficult, first, this road can't be walked, and second, what is the situation of other tunzi, is still unknown? After listening to Situ Yan's next plan, Wu Jin couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Since we have worked so hard, if we can't turn over in one fell swoop, the previous efforts can at most allow my brother to sit in the position of military commander or even chief, and it is still only a military household, and the next chance. I don't know how long I'll have to wait, as the saying goes. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and you will be rich and noble! ”

"But just to settle these people and horses, the food and grass at home is no longer enough, and if the number of people and horses increases, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive this winter. And I don't know how long this snow will fall, if it rains a few times in a row, the grain and grass in the camp will not be delivered, I am afraid that we will have to cut off cooking and drinking in less than a month, and even the firewood and grass for burning the kang will not be enough? "Wu Jin doesn't want to make more meritorious contributions, but if you don't prepare, the consequences may be worse.

"Brother, don't worry, I've been thinking about it for a long time, there are still a lot of uninjured people in the family, let them clear more snow from the backyard, leave a large open space, and build more grass huts, and the rescued horses will have a place to be placed." Luckily, we chose this plot in the first place, and the backyard was big enough, otherwise we wouldn't know how to place the horses. As for whether or not I can save people's lives, it depends on the will of God, but if it can't be done, I will move in with my brother and vacate my house. As for the grain and grass family, there must still be a lot of people in this collapsed house, and there are many people in the family who can help now, so they will go separately to dig out these things, at least the people who can last until the imperial court rush to the rescue!"

"Yan'er, if people are rescued but have to starve to death at home, I'm afraid that you and I will have a more unstable conscience?"

"Brother, let's try it! If it can be done, my brother can at least become the head of the tun, and then it will be just one step away from changing the household! Of course, Situ Yan is sure, and if it's a big deal, tell Wu Jin the secret of the ring, and he won't let these people starve to death.

"It's okay, but there's really nothing you can do about being a brother right now, at least you have to rest for a while!" Wu Jin was said to be moved, but at the moment he was powerless.

"It should be so, at this time, my brother wants to go out, and I am not allowed, I can't see my fingers outside, let alone save the horse and find people, I'm afraid that if the front foot goes out, the back foot will be buried in the snow. Brother, just sleep for a while, and I'll call you again at dawn in four hours! ”

"It's good!" The two of them made a decision, and then they went back to the house to rest.

And the scouts sent by Duanmu Xuan also returned one after another after night, and these people did not even find the nearest military camp outside the city. More than a dozen people knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe, when had the Iron Blood Team been so embarrassed, if it weren't for Duanmu Xuan asking them to go to night, whether there was a result or not, they would rather freeze to death in the snow than kneel in front of their master in such embarrassment.

"Mo Feng, has the emergency military report been sent!"

"Back to the young master, it has been sent, although it is an eight-hundred-mile expedited, but at this time, the snow road is difficult to travel, and the horses can't go out of the city at all, and they only rely on people to send it, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get to Beijing?"

"Out of Dunhuang County, the road should be easy to walk, at most a month late!" After asking about the Mofeng Army report, he turned his head to look at the scout sent out, "Moyu, talk about it!" How's it going? ”

"Back to the young master, his subordinates are incompetent, out of the city, the snow is waist-deep, almost difficult to walk, if you don't bring a shovel, I'm afraid it will be impossible to even rush back. The subordinates had only walked less than five miles, and they couldn't tell the direction anymore, so they had to come back, and they didn't find any people in the house! ”

"Mo Xue, how are you over there?"

"Back to the young master, the subordinates are the same as Mo Yu's, sometimes if they accidentally make a mistake, the whole person is buried by the snow, and the subordinates have not found any horses!"

"You're all like that?" These were already expected by Duanmu Xuan, but there was inevitably a trace of luck in his heart.

"Yes, please punish the young master!" The Predator guards lowered their heads, so ashamed that they couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into. This is the first time they've ever missed a mission. (Of course, the time when Mo Feng was captured by Situ Yan before doesn't count.) ）

"Forget it, it's no wonder you, if it turns sunny tomorrow, there will be another three or five days, and the snow will be smaller, so let's look for it then! You follow Mo Feng to rest first, and drink some ginger soup, don't get sick, you can't even find a Lang Zhong in the city at this time, so let the county order recruit you! ”

"Yes. Subordinates and others retire! Everyone rushed out, and Mo Yu found Mo Feng, "The young master seems to have something on his mind?" ”

"Hmm!" Mo Feng told Mo Yu about Duanmu Xuan's suspicion that the little brother was Wu Jin's sister, after all, both of them knew about this person, and for Wu Jin's matter, it was Mo Yu who went to investigate it at the beginning.

"It can't be, if it's really her, unless she's a god and not a man?"

"You don't believe it, I don't believe it either, but the young master believes it, and you forgot that the young master has the ability to never forget, and even you and I have seen Young Master Wu and that kid, if you want to say that they have nothing to do with each other, how can they look so similar?"

"But it doesn't make sense?" Mo Yu's mind was completely messed up, and he even doubted his own judgment.

"Alright, whoever she is, at least she has to survive this heavy snowfall, otherwise we will be in vain here!"

"Yes. Alright, I'm almost tired here, so let's go and rest first! The two of them replied a few more words, and then they separated to rest.

Duanmu Xuan sat behind the desk, his mind was full of Situ Yan's words and smiles, in fact, he didn't think about going out of the city to find people, but before he left the house, before he walked out of the street, he saw the victims crying and falling around the street. It is also that he and Situ Yan have too little intersection, until many years later, when he recalls it, Duanmu Xuan will still be afraid, if Situ Yan had not escaped the snow disaster at that time, then he would not have been able to marry such a good wife in his life.

This is fate, and it is clear that there is a decision in it! (To be continued......)
