Finally, the two of them stopped a hundred feet away from it. It was clear that this was indeed a tribe, with a dozen tents scattered, and the snow was half buried, with no light and no voices.

"No one?" Yao Fangyu asked in a low voice.

"You're here, I'll take a look." Nangong Jin replied. In such abandoned camps, they can find some food and use, and for them, it is the urgent need to burn coal.

"Let's do it together." What Yao Fangwei thought was that if it was dangerous in this kind of place, it would be the same for both of them to stay behind, and maybe they could fight together.

I don't know if Nangong Jin thought of it with her, glanced at her, and nodded.

This is a camp where no one is around, the owner seems to be in a hurry and has not taken anything, the fire is already cold, and the tent is blowing ice and snow.

Nangong Jin was very polite, and lit two torches to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find something. This tribe is not wealthy, but it does have a lot of supplies to stock up for the winter. I searched inside and out, and even dug up a car that was half buried in the snow.

"I guess this should be the tribe of those heads, which happens to be cheaper for us." Nangong Jin said happily.

"Didn't you say that you were going to pass Bauktu?" Yao Fangyu asked as she packed her things.

Nangong Jin couldn't figure it out, so she had to say: "Baoketu is a grassland, maybe we have already passed." He was finding a bunch of bean cakes and grass to feed the horses, and put the things Yao Fangyu had packed into the car, and also found some emergency supplies to put on his body, "We don't sleep here at night, let's get it ready and leave, it's not too early." ”

Yao Fangyu nodded, understanding what he was worried about, and sped up.

They didn't take too many things, the small car was more than half empty, and Nangong Jin drove away quickly along the same road. After driving more than ten miles, he finally stopped.

"That's it." Nangong Jin said, let Yao Fangyu raise the fire, and set up a small tent by himself. After dinner, he let Yao Fangyu go to sleep and keep vigil by himself. I was happy to find such a vacant camp, but I was a little concerned, no tribe would leave without taking anything in winter, is there really anything around here?

"Tomorrow we'll move on." Yao Fangyu said before entering the tent. She had already made up her mind to divide the work with Nangong Jin, keeping vigil at night and driving by herself during the day.

Nangong Jin thought for a while and nodded, "At most, I will only go to a place where there is a subsidence." Qiu Niang may no longer be in the world, although she wants to bring her back to the Central Plains no matter what, but she is even more reluctant to catch Yao Fangyu because of this.

"Okay." Yao Fangyu entered the tent to rest.

**********

For a few nights in a row, no so-called demons appeared, and Nangong Jin became more and more scornful of the previous legends. I was close to the place where the ground was sinking, but I didn't see the slightest clue. To be on the safe side, Nangong Jin still decided to rest early this day, so that she could have the whole day to find the subsidence the next day.

It was late at night, Yao Fangyu had already fallen asleep, and Nangong Jin was sitting by the fire and napping.

"Ah Jin!"

Nangong Jin jumped up and nervously opened the tent, "What's wrong?" ”

Yao Fangyu looked puzzled, "You've been sitting in front?" ”

"Yes, all the time, not going away."

Yao Fangyu pointed to the back of the tent, "I—I seem to have seen a shadow here just now. Haven't you ever been around the back? ”

"I'll take a look." Nangong Jin withdrew from the tent.

The tent is not big, and you can see it at a glance, let alone go around the back. However, the situation behind the tent made Nangong Jin stunned. Because it is not a white snow, but full of messy traces, very shallow but extending into the distance. Why didn't I hear a sound?

Suddenly, the horse neighed. I only heard Yao Fangyu shouting: "What person?!" ”

Nangong Jin hurriedly turned around, and Yao Fangyu was already standing outside the tent looking at the direction of the horse. Following her vision, I saw two horses squirting and pacing irritably, but there was no figure in sight.

"Anyone?" Nangong Jin asked.

Yao Fangyu was puzzled, "It seems that there are people, I didn't see it clearly." ”

Suddenly, Nangong Jin flew up and kicked a section of dry wood in the fire. This piece of dry wood carried the light of fire, and quickly drew an arc in the air, and a black shadow was not far away in the middle. The black shadow fell, and Nangong Jin quickly stepped forward, stunned.

There was nothing in the snow except for a section of dry firewood that was still shining with fire, except for a man-wide slip mark on the ground, which stretched into the distance. Is there anything else that can swim in the snow?

Suddenly the horses screamed, and the people stood up. Yao Fangyu picked up a dry wood with a fire and dodged to the horse, but there was nothing to see, only a few slip marks. One horse neighed incessantly, and the other was more irritable.

Nangong Jin ran quickly, "What do you see?" "I saw a pool of blood dripping from the snow, and a horse had a hole in its belly, and blood was dripping from it.

"Nothing. What's going on? Yao Fangyu turned around and saw the injured horse.

"I guess it's a beast." Fortunately, the horse's wound was not deep, and Nangong Jin dealt with it carefully.

Yao Fangyu inspected the entire camping place. Found in the snow, with this as the center, radiating out six or seven slip marks, coupled with the bright red horse blood, there is always a sense of ominousness.

"Can the horse still walk?" Yao Fangyu walked back to Nangong Jin's side, although she wanted to leave immediately, but she also knew that it was not dawn, and it was not wise to leave now.

Nangong Jin was comforting the two horses and said, "The injury is not serious, no problem, you can walk slower tomorrow." Worried that she was afraid, she added, "It may be a wolf or a fox, these beasts are afraid of fire." I'll raise two more fires, and I'll go away at daybreak. ”

After a while, the two of them swept away the snow, especially the bloodstained one, and lit a fire. One night, no more accidents.

**********

Before dawn, the two packed up and drove away. After walking for a long time, the sky was always gloomy, and the sun could not be seen through the thick clouds.

Without the good weather a few days ago, Nangong Jin was worried that it would snow, and wanted to find the subsidence as soon as possible, and go back as soon as he saw it. Whether it is the Ming army or not, make up your mind to come back to find the truth in the spring.

But there was a vast plain, and there was no subsidence anywhere as far as the eye could see.

"Is there someone in the distance?" Yao Fangyu kept looking ahead, and finally couldn't help asking.

In the distance ahead, a humanoid black figure stood in the snow. Whether it is a dead person, a living person, or a non-human person, Nangong Jin doesn't want to care about this idle matter, "Every day is white, and sometimes the eyes are prone to hallucinations." ”

Yao Fangyu looked back at him, "You didn't see it?" ”

Nangong Jin smiled, turned around in the carriage, and left the figure behind, "According to what the man said, the battlefield should be near here." It's going to snow, let's look for a day today, and if not, we'll go back. ”

However, Nangong Jin's abacus failed, and it was only a quarter of an hour, and another figure appeared in front of him, this time it was three, and it was closer than just now.

Yao Fangyu was silent and looked at Nangong Jin.

The three figures stood still, unable to see their clothes. What Nangong Jin didn't understand was that it was obviously a plain, how could these three figures suddenly appear on the snow out of thin air?

Nangong Jin had never been interested in this kind of indescribable thing, so she turned a corner again, and bypassed the unknown object in front of her from a long distance. Now Yao Fangyu didn't believe that he hadn't seen it.

The carriage traveled in this lead-gray world, and there was no time to see. Yao Fangyu estimated that it was past noon, took out some food from the car, it was still a few days earlier, flatbread and jerky, simmered in the stove, it was a little warm, the car never stopped, and what he saw in front of him was always a snowfield.

I don't know how long it took, it started to snow, but Nangong Jin still didn't want to stop. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and less than half of the incense is already flying like goose feathers in the sky. He took out his compass and made the way, but the snow seemed to be about to finish the rain that had not fallen for several days, blocking their way.

Finally, Nangong Jin gave up with a long sigh, "Let's go back, I'm afraid this snow won't stop in one day." ”

Yao Fangyu nodded, "I'll find some coarse cloth to cover it, can I go directly without stopping?" ”

"Stop for a quarter of an hour and let the horse rest. We took out the little tent and got on the bus, it was getting dark, and we slept in the car. After saying that, he stopped the car and went down to feed the horses first.

As soon as I got off the horse, I realized that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a figure slowly approaching in the heavy snow. Nangong Jin remained silent, took out the waist knife from the car and handed it to Yao Fangyu. Yao Fangyu was stunned for a moment, her eyes were inquiring, and Nangong Jin made a gesture to get out of the car. Yao Fangyu didn't stop, and went directly to Nangong Jin's side.

The dark shadows around them got closer, encircling them in a half-circle. Yao Fangyu staggered and stood back to back with Nangong Jin, neither of them chose to rush out, because no one knew what was behind the heavy snow.

The dark figures of the human figures slowly approached, and the horses seemed to sense the danger and became agitated. In the blink of an eye, those dark shadows disappeared in an instant, and a sense of danger came to his face.

Nangong Jin hurriedly grabbed Yao Fangyu behind him and jumped up, and four figures actually came out of the snow and followed him. He held Yao Fangyu in one hand, and quickly pulled out the heavy sword with the other, and the sword was not a soft pat on his hand immediately, and at the car, the body could not stand such a strong crack, but Nangong Jin flew out. The four figures did not follow, and fell into the snow and disappeared.

Before Nangong Jin landed, three more figures appeared in front of him, Yao Fangyu pushed him away and swept towards the waists of the three of them, but this knife seemed to be cut on iron, and the waist knife instantly collapsed. And the four figures that had fallen in the snow before jumped out again, pounced on Yao Fangyu like evil wolves. Nangong Jin pulled her over and rolled away on the spot.

There was a slight vibration on the ground, Nangong Jin was shocked, it was difficult to do more than these seven? But until now, he hadn't seen the faces of these seven people clearly.

"Get on the horse." Nangong Jin said in Yao Fangyu's ear.

The two quickly got up and ran towards the horses. Before they could reach the front of the car, the two horses neighed again and rushed forward with a fierce drag on the cart, and the car, which had already cracked, could not withstand the force and began to fall apart.

"Ah Jin!" Yao Fangyu grabbed Nangong Jin, and saw three or four humanoid black shadows hanging on the two horses, and blood was sprinkled on the snow.
