All the people hastened, except for the evening, they hurried on their way, taking the nearest road, and finally returned to the place where the king of the right lived after seven days.
"General." The right king was already waiting for him early, "If you want to go back, you have to hurry up, it seems that this snow will have to fall for a long time, I looked for someone to see, half a month later, there will be a heavy snowstorm." ”
"Half a month? And a blizzard? Yuan Xi's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters.
The right king smiled bitterly: "The climate of our grassland is often like this, the general is not used to normal, in my opinion, the general can wait here until the snow stops, see how the road conditions are, and then decide to go back, otherwise if there is any snowstorm on the road, it will be difficult to deal with." ”
"Nope." Yuan Xi refused without thinking about it, "When the snow stops, the road may still be impossible." I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the snow to melt, and I can't wait that long. ”
The right king was silent, and said for a long time: "The general should go on the road as soon as possible, try to hurry as early as possible, and don't rest in the field at night." As long as you enter the newly built town, there should be no problem. ”
"That's fine." Yuan Xi didn't have time to rest, and if they waited one more day, it would be difficult for them to go back.
By the time the snow fell, the women had already cleaned up, so it didn't take much time.
A thousand guards, hundreds of carriages, ready, Yuan Xi watched Caroline say goodbye to the right king, waved his hand, and everyone began to move forward in the snow.
At the beginning, except for Aunt Liu and Zhen Dao, who was a little uncomfortable, everyone was riding horses, so they were very fast. After two or three days, the speed slowly slowed down.
But by this time the crowd had already traveled five or six days.
"It looks like it's a beautiful day." After walking for a few days, I didn't expect the snow to get lighter and lighter. There is a tendency to stop.
"Husband, you may have forgotten one thing." Caroline has been riding a horse recently, and she is very strong, except for Lu Qiling, she can always persevere.
"You say a blizzard?"
"Yes. Uncle Shaman's weather predictions have always been accurate. Caroline looked worried, "It will take more than a month for us to go back." ”
"It's okay, pay attention to it then, and when it's almost half a month, let's go into the town and make a good repair."
"Hmm." Caroline responded, shrunk back, and muttered, "It is said that even if it snows hard at this time in the past, the temperature should have risen a little, why do I feel colder and colder?" ”
"On a snowy day, how can it not be cold." Yuan Xi rushed out, "Run a lot, people and horses are not cold." ”
"Husband, wait for me." Caroline saw her family's thoughts, and her mood was better than before, I don't know how much, seeing Yuan Xi taking the lead, she hurriedly chased after her......
Ten days later, the light snow, which had tended to stop, began to fall again.
All over the day.
Looking at the formation, you can know that it is not light snow, at least above moderate snow.
"Husband, there are still a day or two to go and half a month, shall we find a place to repair?"
"Okay." Yuan Xi replied loudly to Caroline, who reminded him in the carriage, and after finding the guide and asking about the nearest town, it would take at least half a day, and he was no longer in a hurry.
If there is a heavy snowstorm, you will dodge, anyway, the time will not be long, and when the time comes, after the snowstorm, you can go for a while, and it will be a safe section of the road, and you can enter Yuyang County. Out of the grassland, no matter how heavy the snow falls, there is no problem.
At least, he felt that the blizzard couldn't stop them from going back.
After a long day, everyone finally saw the small town in the distance, but it was more of a large village than a small town, and it was just surrounded by a circle of boulders about two meters high.
"How do you build so many boulders here?" Yuan Xi walked over, pulled out the sword and poked it hard, and found that it was really not ordinarily strong, he looked carefully underneath, and saw that the two stones were flattened together, and there seemed to be some kind of gluing in the middle.
Caroline didn't know when she came over and smiled at him, "What is the husband looking at?" ”
Yuan Xi pointed to the stone, "Why is this stone wall so low?" ”
"You say this, this is supposed to be used to defend against dangers, such as what wolves come out at night. It's much easier to defend against this, and of course it can also defend against enemies. Caroline glanced inside, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, "But there shouldn't be many people in there now, I'm afraid it's all deserted." ”
"Why?" Yuan Xi really didn't pay attention to the situation inside, looked inside, and found that there was really no one inside, and after watching for a long time, a trembling old man passed by, looked at them, and gradually walked away on crutches.
"There really isn't anybody, it seems."
"Not at all. Everything that can be walked is gone. The crowd slowly walked inside. Caroline said as she walked: "This was the territory of King Zuo before, and with the development of the surrounding area, this place has gradually been deserted, and now it is estimated that there are less than a dozen families in it. ”
Soon a guard came to report, there were about 200 households in total, but there were only four households, less than ten people.
"It's really pitiful." Yuan Xi sighed: "There are less than ten people, what are these people still living here?" ”
"Maybe you can't move away, or everything that should be moved will be moved." Caroline shook her little head, shook out her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go in, fortunately there is no one, otherwise so many people would not have fallen asleep." ”
This is true, a team of more than 1,000 people, not a special arrangement, is really difficult to stay. The situation at hand is just right.
"Get some more firewood and straw, we'll have to rest here for a long time." Yuan Xi ordered to go down, and everyone began to get busy.
The sky gradually darkened, and the snow became heavier and heavier, but fortunately, although it continued to snow, it was all dry snow and did not melt, so the firewood and straw under the snow inside were dry, which was very suitable for resting at night. ”
Because it was winter, when no one came, they all prepared a quilt, which was neatly folded, packed in the guards' luggage, and placed on the carriage. It's just to deal with such a situation. It is just right now.
A relatively large mansion before was used as a temporary foothold for Yuan Xi.
The inside has long been cleaned up.
Five houses of various sizes, Yuan Xi instructed the guards to unload the carriage outside and pull the war horse into the stable. Inspect the house for damage and prepare plenty of charcoal and straw firewood.
Although I brought a lot of charcoal this time, most of it has been burned, and there is not much left, so it is also necessary to prepare firewood here.
Everything was ready, and Yuan Xi went to inspect the place where everyone lived.
