Chapter 18: Where to go
There was nothing left on the hillside except for a dozen people, oh yes, and the pouring rain. From the eighty people who set out together at the beginning, to the dozen or so people now, there is no joy of rebirth after the catastrophe, no expectation for tomorrow, and some only sobbing silently.
Zhang Jun, who was originally Top Gun, was beaten to the ground by a flood tributary, and he was distracted, he only felt that when he killed people, the two countries had never been so helpless and scared when they were fighting.
The heavy rain drowned out the sound of sobbing and the path they were on.
Gu Changsheng quickly pulled out of the sadness in his heart, he was an optimist, since things could not be reversed, then what he had to consider now was the next direction, where should they go, seriously, it was actually where he should go.
Gu Changsheng beckoned everyone to find other ways, he looked at the heavy rain for at least seven or eight days, if he didn't find a place to settle down now, let alone starve to death, he was afraid that he would freeze to death, even if it was a warm spring now.
Everyone quickly cleaned up their mood, there was no way, if they didn't find a place to rest, the group that escaped death was afraid that they would have to explain in this heavy rain again. There's a flood down there, and there's no road above, so it's hard to find.
Simply enough, the water on the other side of the hillside was extremely small, and it did not flood too many places, Gu Changsheng and the others were looking for some edible fruits while looking for a place to treat people.
Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and they found a Shandong, because of the topography, the cave was not flooded, only the cave entrance was wet by heavy rain.
During this period, they also picked up a lot of fruits, as well as the carcasses of two hares and a pheasant, and as for Ji Tong's war horse, they were also divided and taken away by Jin Wuyi. In Dawei, horses are inedible, even if they die of old age, cripple, or illness. It's just that they are almost at the end of their rope, and they still choose to acquiesce after praying according to Jin Wuyi's way of praying for living beings, but they all bury this matter deep in their hearts.
Except for Ji Tong's war horses, the other war horses are just tired, and they still expect these war horses to come in handy, but if the food is all eaten and trapped, it will be difficult to say at that time.
One horse can last these thirteen people for three or four days.
There were some weeds in the cave, and after taking out the fire sickle and flint, and wiping them dry, the weeds were just like that, and everyone felt a little warm. They found some thin dry branches and left them aside, hoping that when the weeds were gone, they would be able to burn.
took off only some single clothes, but Jin Wuyi directly stripped them all naked, this clothes are going to be dried, and when they don't dry, they will get a wind chill, and they can't find Langzhong in this barren mountain and wild mountains.
I ate some wild fruit casually, and the horse meat was not eaten at that time, but it was going to be roasted and smoked and stored, so that it could be stored for a longer time and eaten for a longer time. This is what Jin Wuyi said, he once went out hunting with his father, and encountered a heavy snow covering the mountain, so he relied on the jerky to hold on until the snow stopped, and the weather improved, and he escaped with his life.
Such air-dried horse meat, especially sour and dry firewood, not to mention the teeth, is still unpalatable, Jin Wuyi swore not to eat this kind of meat again after eating it once, but he didn't expect to eat it again so soon.
Finally satisfied, finally rested, in this kind of place, this kind of scene does not need to be vigiled at all, everyone can sleep peacefully, but no one can sleep.
Ji Tong has no war horse, and he is the last one to escape, among these people, the ability is the worst, in the face of death, if he is abandoned. He doesn't blame anyone, it's just that he still wants to live.
"That's... What do we do next? What should I do when I finish eating? "Although the flood outside is stable on the surface, the undercurrent is turbulent, and they are already besieged by the flood, and they don't know when they will wait until the flood waters recede.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Changsheng, everyone felt that Gu Changsheng was the most far-sighted and electronic person in the world, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was everyone's backbone.
The feeling of pressure suddenly pressed on Gu Changsheng's body, and he put forward his opinions before, which was just to make additions on the basis of others, let them choose, and they could have a good life. But now everyone is waiting for him to make a decision alone, and he is still facing an unknown result, Gu Changsheng realized that the responsibility is heavy.
His childhood education taught him that he couldn't give up on anyone here, and then he had a different understanding of his father's expectations of him.
Peace and joy are not so easy.
As Gu Changsheng groaned for longer, the greater the uneasiness that filled the air. Jin Wuyi's feeling is particularly obvious, God knows how he and his father survived that heavy snow closed the mountain, he only remembered that time passed fast and slow, and the moment he came out was like a world away, he couldn't say what he felt, but he really didn't want to have a next time.
"It's okay! The rain will soon stop, but the flood will subside, and we will have enough food to last at least ten days, when we will be crossing the river. Besides, don't we still have twelve war horses, and we will have room to save our lives when there is really nothing we can do. Just take its life to continue our lives, and then bury their bones and erect monuments. Gu Changsheng's words made everyone feel a lot of relief, and it was easy for everyone to accept the statement of burying the bones of the horse and erecting a monument, not an exaggeration, but this was due to the status of the Tsushima left by the ancestors of the Great Wei since its establishment.
Gu Changsheng had never felt that it was so difficult to say a word and make a decision, since then, he felt that he could not be alone for the time being, he was now the life of thirteen people.
Now he just wants that in this humble day, there will be no moths.
On the other side, Liang Qiu took a raft down the river, and according to this momentum, he would only be able to reach Anyi in half a day, and then he could continue to go north after repairing himself. It's just that now there is a serious problem in the army, and many people are starting to get seasick. Although the water has eased a lot, and the raft is no longer in great turmoil, it still makes these Great Wei infantrymen who are not very familiar with water vomit wildly.
Liang Qiu looked helpless, and could only hope that it would be faster and that the time spent on the water would be shorter.
Gu Changsheng and Liang Qiu are waiting, one for life and the other for faith.
Where is our Great Prince's Royal Highness, no one knows whether he is alive or dead, but it doesn't matter anymore, General Nangong, the general of the northern realm, has begun to prepare, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince can return and embrace him as the crown prince, if he can't come back, no matter how turbulent the Great Wei Dynasty is, this Great Wei will have a day when he has a long army in the south palace, and there will be a day when the iron wall of the north is iron.
On the third day of Gu Changsheng and the others' survival, in a remote mountain village, everyone was discussing how to deal with a stranger.
"As soon as you look at him dressed like this, you know that he is a person from Da Wei!"
"Patriarch, what do you say!"
