Chapter 352: Mountain Walk

When the sky was light, Wang Yuan woke up, feeling that his chest was hot, but his back was cold and biting, and his feet were almost numb from the cold. There was a faint fragrance from the end of his nose, and a soft body was snuggled up to his chest, and when he looked at it in surprise, he found that Gongsun Lan had buried his head in his arms and slept sweetly.

When they fell asleep last night, the two of them lay down in their clothes, each covered with a cloak. The cold in the middle of the night forced the two to hug each other unconsciously to keep warm, although Gongsun Lan was reserved, but she couldn't resist the cold wave in the middle of the night. Looking at the location, she took the initiative to get under Wang Yuan's cloak to keep warm.

As soon as Wang Yuan's body moved, Gongsun Lan in his arms woke up with a sigh, slowly raised his head from Wang Yuan's arms, and looked at Wang Yuan. Seeing that Wang Yuan was staring at him, he was busy struggling to get up.

Wang Yuan hugged her waist to prevent her from getting up, and asked with a smile, "Is my cousin sleeping well?" ”

Gongsun Lan looked at him left and right: "There is light, get up and pack up and hurry." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Don't be in a hurry at this moment, let me take a good look at my cousin." ”

Gongsun Lan pursed her red lips and said, "What's so beautiful?" ”

Wang Yuan stared at the woman in his arms silently, seeing that the two pale red lips close at hand were very seductive, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss them. Gongsun Lan sighed lightly, and the two kissed for a long time before they got up together.

The bonfire has embers left, billowing green smoke, no wonder it was so cold last night, it turned out that the bonfire burned out in the middle of the night, so it was cold. Wang Yuan hurriedly went to the snow under the cliff, dug a pile of snow and withered grass under it, and came back and lit a bonfire. He put the water on the fire and boiled it, and took the dry food and baked it. Over there, Gongsun Lan meticulously began to dress up, even in the barren mountains and mountains, Gongsun Lan would never allow herself to become sloppy. When the skillful hands fly, the cloud sideburns are pulled, and the light makeup is beginning to take shape, from beautiful and compelling to noble and cold.

Seeing Wang Yuan sitting by the fire with his hair fluffy and boiling water to roast dry food, Gongsun Lan also came to Wang Yuan to comb his hair and tie it with a ribbon after taking care of himself, like a little daughter-in-law serving her husband.

While the two were drinking pine needle tea and chewing dry food, they began to discuss today's itinerary. Last night's heavy snow didn't stop overnight, and now it's lighter, but there are still snow foams in the sky. Yesterday there were still many parts of the mountains that were not covered by snow, but after a night, they were already white everywhere, and all of them were covered with heavy snow, and the mountain road today will be very difficult to walk.

"Erlang, you must get out of this mountain today, but after this mountain, it is under the jurisdiction of Huai'an County. We need to be careful. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Understand, fortunately, with this heavy snowfall, I don't think the soldiers and horses in Huai'an County should be mobilized in a big way." If I were the leader of the army, I would have sent a small force of troops to spy on the left side of the pass, and it would not be too late to send troops to intercept it when I had a definite report. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "With such a heavy snowfall, the two of us walking out of the mountains will definitely arouse suspicion, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "This is not a good way. Let's go out of the mountain and see how it goes. If you are surrounded by groups as soon as you get out of the mountain, it will be really difficult to do. But fortunately, our two goals are small, and we are always a little sure that we can't escape. ”

Gongsun Lan sneered: "Is it just running away? That doesn't seem like a clever idea. ”

"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, our goal is to go to Yunzhou to find reinforcements to save people, but we are not brave and ruthless. There is no shame in fleeing. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "That's the same, let's eat dry food and go on the road." ”

The two returned to the snowy mountain trail, which was more dangerous to ride on horseback, and had to switch to walking. The snow on the mountain road is too thick, and the foot is like stepping on the pile of cotton wool, and the speed of progress is extremely slow, and Wang Yuan almost can't climb out of the snow nest several times. Later, Wang Yuan used his ingenuity to weave two pairs of snowshoes with pine branches and tied them to Gongsun Lan under the boots, so as to avoid the danger of falling into the knee-deep snow.

Later, it was not the people who slowed down the speed, but the two horses, but they could not be abandoned, because they were still needed to walk after leaving the mountain, so they could only lead them forward.

After fighting the snow until the evening, after climbing the last section of the mountain road, there was finally no mountain in front of me, and I should have crossed this mountain road between dozens of miles. Ahead is the exit pass. The weather began to clear from the afternoon, and the northwest wind blew again, but there were no dark clouds in the sky, and the evening sun hung on the western horizon, casting a golden coat over the snowy landscape.

Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan were not in a hurry to go out of the mountain, they planned to spend the night in the mountain and go out again tomorrow morning. While setting up a shelter and lighting a campfire to cook food, the two climbed to the top of the hill hand in hand to watch the sunset. Looking west from the top of the hill, there was no one outside the mountain pass, a white land, and there was no trace of soldiers and horses with the naked eye, which made Wang Yuan a little strange.

"Why is that? Could it be that the soldiers and horses of Huai'an County did not receive orders? Gongsun Lan was also puzzled.

Wang Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "Impossible, how can they let us return safely, I will never believe that the defenders of Huai'an County will not intercept us." Anyway, tomorrow the camera acts. Look, how beautiful the sunset is. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded, stood on a rock, and concentrated on enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sunset that was about to fall, her clothes fluttering, like a goddess.

"The view is truly breathtaking. Erlang, last night you recited Taibai's "Difficult to Walk", why didn't you write your own poem at that time? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It is indeed Taibai's poem, because your flute sound last night reminded me of this poem, and I am afraid that your flute will not agree with your intentions." Taibai is like a mountain to me, and I am ashamed of his poems.

"Understand, the sunset is beautiful at this moment, why don't Erlang write a poem?"

"Don't want it, just enjoy the beautiful scenery, why bother to be ugly."

Wang Yuanyuan's skin is a little fried, he is now a little sensitive to writing poetry, there are fewer and fewer poems that can be carried, and the front is shocking, even Li Taibai's poems have been carried over, if there are no good poems now, it is better not to write poems from now on, so as not to be said to be Jiang Lang's talent.

"Write one for me!" Gongsun Lan turned to look at Wang Yuan, her face full of anticipation.

Wang Yuan couldn't refuse, got up and came to Gongsun Lan's side, grabbed her waist, stood side by side with her on the top of the mountain, watched the sunset fall on the horizon little by little, and slowly said: "The horse wears the mountain trail like frost, and the wind and snow are fragrant." ”

Gongsun Lan blushed and said, "What a broken poem." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Isn't it? A slice of cloves, with a lingering fragrance in the mouth. ”

"Phew, write poetry seriously, don't mess around."

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Okay, there are two more sentences for you to listen to." Ten thousand gullies have a sound with evening sounds, and the peaks are speechless and the sun is slanting. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and read these two sentences lightly, nodded and said: "Good poem, this is the work of heart, the two sentences just now have been replaced." ”

Wang Yuan hugged her tightly in his arms, wrapped her in a cloak, and said with a smile: "If you don't change it, how can you change it when you write poems, just these four sentences, and you will have time to think about it in the future." ”

Gongsun Lan was also helpless, leaned her head on Wang Yuan's chest and didn't make a sound, the two hugged each other and watched the sunset fall little by little, until there was a twilight between heaven and earth, and then slowly descended the mountain and returned to the accommodation.

Early the next morning, the two packed up and set off, and half an hour later they went out of the mountain pass and onto the flat snowfield. It is said to be a flat area, but in fact, it is only relatively speaking, and the mountains are undulating, but it is much flatter than the mountains behind.

The official road extends to the northwest, apparently passing through the county seat of Huai'an. The two of them had no other way to go, so they could only walk along the official road, because the snow-covered terrain on both sides of the official road was unknown, and villages gradually appeared on both sides of the official road, and there were many paddy fields and ponds next to the official road, so there was no way to do it at all.

Fortunately, because of the crowds, there are traces of some horses passing on the official road, and the snow has been trampled a lot, which allows the two to at least run on the official road, and the speed has been accelerated a lot.

After walking for more than an hour, there were dozens of houses in front of them, scattered among the trees on both sides of the road, and there were provoking wine flags fluttering in the wind, looking like a small market town.

Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan briefly discussed a few words, and decided to rush through the market town without stopping, so the two of them quickly passed through the middle of the market town, and the people in the market town were attracted by these two handsome men and women on horses, and they all looked at each other. Wang Yuan also knew that his appearance with Gongsun Lan was too attractive, especially Gongsun Lan, a picturesque woman riding a horse, wearing a dark red cloak, galloping up The cloak was very eye-catching, and she couldn't help but regret that she didn't disguise herself before leaving the mountain.

But fortunately, the people were just curious and did not find other suspicious signs. The two of them galloped through the market town, and soon reached the western end of the town, and they were both a little relieved. But suddenly, a dozen soldiers rushed out of the last small hotel with a wine curtain in the west of the town, standing in a row on the road, shouting at the two people who rushed to them. Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan had no choice but to slow down and stop in front of a dozen soldiers.

"Dismount, dismount, what?" The soldiers scolded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you know?" Wang Yuan hugged his fists.

"What's the matter? What do you do? Where do you come from and where are you going? A soldier seemed to be in the lead, squinting at his mouth full of wine.

"Back to the military master, my surname is Li, and this is my wife Wang. My husband and wife came from Yongxing County and went to Huai'an County. Wang Yuan didn't dare to say that he would go to Yunzhou, for fear that they would be suspicious.

"To Huai'an? Don't you know that this road is closed? What are you going to do in Huai'an? The soldier shouted.

"Oh, I went to Huai'an County to visit relatives, I didn't know that this road was closed."

"Visiting family? Who are the relatives? What is the last name? You don't look like ordinary people in this outfit, and the relatives of the Tan must also be famous figures in Huai'an County, I know them all. Let's hear it. The soldier's eyes kept staring at Gongsun Lan's face, looking up and down unscrupulously, and he didn't even take his eyes off talking to Wang Yuan.

"We're not visiting big families, and you may not know if you say it. It is convenient for the military master to let my husband and wife go over, this little meaning, the military master took his brothers to drink two bowls of wine. Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and took out a hanging copper coin and stuffed it into the soldier's hand.

"Phew, when we haven't seen the money? We look at the two of you very suspicious, go to the hotel and search your body, if there is no forbidden thing, we can accommodate you once. The brothers said yes, yes? ”

"Yes, yes, hahaha." Of course, the soldiers knew the leader's intentions, and if they searched her body, they could openly get oil on this woman, which was even more unwanted.

Wang Yuan frowned, and looked at Gongsun Lan as if he were looking at him, and Gongsun Lan nodded slightly.

The leader of the soldiers stared at Gongsun Lan with a smile in his mouth, and actually planned to reach out and pull Gongsun Lan who was sitting on the horse to dismount. Wang Yuan sighed secretly, and said in his heart: You people die by yourself, there is no way, and at this time, no one can save you.
