Nangong Jin chased Yao Fangyu's trail on the snowfield and galloped wildly, and after a while, he saw a person and a rider returning from a distance. But Nangong Jin's mount seemed to be unable to run, and he trembled and fell to his knees again, but this time, he fell off the horse.

In the distance, Yao Fangyu rushed over and exclaimed, "Ah Jin! ”

Nangong Jin sat on the snow with a painful expression, covering her ears with her hands, and didn't hear anything.

"Ah Jin," Yao Fangyu dismounted, grabbed Nangong Jin's hand, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

Nangong Jin looked up and saw that it was her, and shook her head with a smile as much as possible, still covering her ears and not hearing anything.

Yao Fangyu saw that there was faint blood on the side of his face, and he became anxious, "Is it injured?" Where does it hurt? ”

Nangong Jin shook his head vigorously, looked at Yao Fangyu, and asked, "They didn't chase after them, did they?" ”

"Nope."

Nangong Jin's hand loosened, Yao Fangyu saw the blood stains more obviously, and became nervous, "You, what's wrong with your ears?" ”

"I can't quite hear what you're talking about, that old wizard seems to know how to roar a lion or something." Nangong Jin saw Yao Fangyu's lips open and close, shook her head again, and said, "It's a little headache." ”

"Don't move!" Yao Fangyu held him down, "If you hurt your head, you can't move." With that, he quickly took a small tent from his horse and set it up on the snow with great speed.

Originally, there was only one tent that one person used to sleep in the open, but now there is only one left, and two people can barely squeeze in. Yao Fangyu took water and a hand towel, and tried to wipe away the blood stains that had gradually dried from Nangong Jin's ears by taking advantage of the reflection of the snow that was not too bright.

After a moment, Yao Fangyu asked, "Are you better?" ”

But Nangong Jin just looked at her and smiled, trying to read her lips, but didn't answer.

"Still can't hear clearly?" Yao Fangyu sighed, unable to think of a better way to heal it, "There are fire folds, but there is no dry firewood." There's only this one piece of skin. Yao Fangyu said, more like talking to herself, "You'd better get some sleep, I know it's too cold......"

Nangong Jin still covered her head and didn't say anything, trying her best to listen to Yao Fangyu's words.

"We don't have anything else to keep warm." Yao Fangyu said and smiled again, "I don't want you to think too much, anyway, it's just the two of us, as long as you don't say it, no one will know." ”

Nangong Jin was anxious, "What did you say?" Don't worry, it's fine. Isn't it cold? ”

Yao Fangyu smiled and wrapped the leather on his hand around the two people, hugged him tightly, and said in his ear: "This way it won't be cold." Do you take a nap? ”

Nangong Jin was shocked, hugged by her, and felt that she was talking in her ear, and her whole person stiffened.

Yao Fangyu felt something strange and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Is it still hurting somewhere? ”

For Nangong Jin, this sentence is not important, what matters is the warmth of her hair blowing in her ears, this breath is not only blushing, but even people are burning. Is...... Damn! Hurriedly pushed her away and rushed out of the tent.

Yao Fangyu didn't know what was going on, she was stunned, and she followed out of the tent, and when she saw Nangong Jin standing on the snow like this, she asked worriedly: "Ah Jin, what's wrong?" ”

was stirred by the cold wind, at least his body was not so burned. Seeing her approaching, Nangong Jin took a few steps back, not daring to look at her, "It's too cold, you go in first." I、I want to find a way. ”

He made Yao Fangyu even more worried, "Are you okay?" ”

"What?" Nangong Jin could faintly hear it, anyway, his head didn't hurt so much. Anyway, I couldn't hear Yao Fangyu's words clearly, so I simply didn't look at her and went to deal with the two horses.

Yao Fangwei was inexplicably puzzled by him, and stood in a daze to watch his every move.

After a quarter of an hour, Nangong Jin finally calmed down. Looking back, I saw that Yao Fangyu did not return to the small tent, but was sorting out the luggage he had untied from the horse. He stepped forward, took the things in her hand and said, "It's still early, I'll come here, you go to sleep." ”

Yao Fangyu looked up at him, smiled, pointed to his ear and asked, "Are you better?" ”

"Huh?" Nangong Jin still didn't hear clearly.

Yao Fangyu smiled and pointed to his ears again.

Nangong Jin nodded, "I can hear some sounds, but I don't know, and there is a buzzing sound." I thought wizards were pretending to be ghosts, but I really didn't expect them to be so powerful. ”

Turning his head and looking at the pile of luggage that Yao Fangyu was sorting out, this is the fatal problem. There wasn't much left, and if you drove for five or six days like this, you might be dead, let alone come back. I regret how I had a brain pump at the time, so I broke out like this, and it was clear that I should have promised to go back first, and then take a detour.

Nangong Jin took out a few brown cakes from a paper bag, "You go back to the tent, I'll raise a fire." As he spoke, he raised a small fire in front of the tent with great speed, and brought the horses in, so that at least they could keep them warm, and that they could keep out the wind.

Yao Fangyu, who had packed his luggage, did not return to the tent and sat silently beside him.

"What's next?" After a while, Yao Fangyu finally asked.

When Nangong Jin heard this, an expression of chagrin and self-blame rose on her face. I didn't know what to do, so I had to tell the truth: "As soon as we leave, the ministry will be moved, and the old wizard is very afraid of demons." Worried that these two words would make Yao Fangyu afraid, he hurriedly said: "Those Mongolian people are always afraid of something for no reason, maybe it is a bear or a wolf." ”

Yao Fangyu nodded, "So even if we go back, that ministry may not be there, and if we come out like this, they will definitely not welcome us again, so we can only move forward." ”

"I heard from them that there are no tribes left. However, I remember that there were several small tribes in Bauktu, but it was snowing, and I don't know if they are still there. Nangong Jin wasn't sure.

"Just check it out." Yao Fangwei is very optimistic.

"In case ...... and nothing is left, we have to come back." Although Nangong Jin said this, he didn't know what to do later.

Yao Fangyu thought carefully, "It will take four or five days to go back, right?" "But if we want to go back, we're really in vain today." ”

Yao Fangyu didn't blame him, and Nangong Jin regretted it even more, "Safety first, go back." ”

"What about your friend? It's already here....... Yao Fangyu looked at him.

After a while, Nangong Jin shook his head sadly, "I guess it's ......." ”

Silent again, Yao Fangyu said: "There are still some cakes and jerky in the luggage, as long as you can light the fire at night, it won't be too cold." It's just that the horse doesn't have to eat. Let's go back two days. If nothing goes back, find the nearest tribe and wait until the beginning of spring? ”

Nangong Jin looked at her, seemed to think for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay." ”

**********

One night, Yao Fangyu at least knew that the brown cake was cow dung, and in any case, it was indeed very resistant to burning. The fire is not big, but it can feel warm for two people.

One night, no one went back to the small tent, Nangong Jin always kept a distance from her intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally bump into her. Although Yao Fangwei didn't know why, he could only pretend that he hadn't found anything.

The sky finally dawned, and when Yao Fangyu opened his eyes, he was covered with a piece of fur. Nangong Jin had just finished cleaning up the blood stains on the Heavy Twilight Sword, and was trying to clear a clearing, revealing the withered yellow hay under the snow. However, it seems that the horses are reluctant to eat.

Yao Fangyu washed her face with snow, the fire had burned out, no wonder it was cold. Fortunately, the sun is out, and it shouldn't be too cold during the day.

"Get up and move, or you'll freeze." Nangong Jin ignored the two horses and began to put away the tent.

Yao Fangyu smiled, stood up and wanted to help him put away the tent, I don't know if he sat in one position for too long, or maybe he stood up too quickly, and suddenly the whole person softened, Nangong Jin threw the things in his hand violently, and took a step forward to hold her in his arms.

"What? Are you alright? Nangong Jin asked nervously.

Yao Fangyu slowly raised her head and smiled, "It's too fast, it's okay." ”

Nangong Jin slowly let go of her, but she still didn't feel at ease to protect her, "Or let's go back." ”

"Just as I said yesterday." Yao Fangyu walked away a few steps and tidied up the tent. After a while, Nangong Jin handed over a small piece of cake and a bag of water.

Yao Fangyu took a sip of water and said happily, "Huh? How can it be hot. "Even the bread in his hand was warm.

Nangong Jin looked at her and said with a smile: "Bury under the fire." Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while. ”

"Have you eaten?" Yao Fangyu knew very well how much food was still in his luggage.

Nangong Jin smiled but didn't answer, and continued to pack up the tent, "According to what I said yesterday, we will continue to the west in a while, and no matter how fast we are, we won't be able to reach Baoketu today." ”

Yao Fangwei looked at his back and quietly put the cake in his arms. "Okay."

When I set off, the sun was already shining on the snowy fields, and the golden red world was like a dream. ran like this for two days in a row, although Nangong Jin didn't want the horses to be too tired in the past two days, so he deliberately slowed down, but this scenery has not changed. Thankfully, it didn't snow, but the disappointment was that there was nothing to be seen, not even the demon in the old wizard's mouth, and there was silence in the snowfield.

In the evening of the next day, Nangong Jin finally said, "Go back." ”

"Wait."

"I'll be back in two days." Nangong Jin was afraid that she still wanted to move forward.

"Yes. But isn't there something to the north? Yao Fangyu pointed to the north. I noticed it just now, but I don't know if I read it wrong. ”

There was a snowdrift like a felt tent in the distance to the north, and Nangong Jin had already seen it, but he didn't pay attention to it when he thought it might be a tribe.

"Will there be a small part? Last time you said there were tribes near Bauktu. Yao Fangyu asked.

"Probably not. At this time, it is time to drink cigarettes. ”

Yao Fangyu didn't give up, "Maybe there are fewer people, the wind is blowing away?" Say two days. Check it out, it's not over today anyway. ”

Nangong Jin smiled and nodded, "Then it has to be faster, otherwise it will definitely not be there before dark." "If it's a snowdrift blown by the wind, it's a good place to sleep out at night to keep the wind out.

Yao Fangwei took the lead.

I could see it with the naked eye, but I didn't arrive before dark. It was dark, and by the reflection of the snow, Nangong Jin was more and more sure that this place was definitely not a tribe. In the dark, there are no lights.
