After entering the mountain, it cannot be said that it is safe, the Mongol cavalry is unlikely to pursue it, they can't afford to bother for the scattered escapees, and their goal is not to kill everyone, but it is not difficult to chase, but it is just a few more miles, although after entering the mountain, all the advantages of the cavalry of the brigade are only the number of people......

Instead of hurrying his horse, Judah turned over and dismounted, took out a few pieces of mixed bread from his bosom, broke them and fed them to his mount, then took out the porcelain jar covered with cotton wool from the saddle coat, poured the honey on his hand, and smeared it on the mount's abdomen, which was dripping with blood from the spurs.

Honey has the effect of stopping bleeding and sterilizing, but there will be side effects after a long time, and there is no long-term consideration at this time, just maintain it.

did the same treatment for Zhou Qingyun's mount again, and then sat on it with Zhou Qingyun, who was still unconscious, this horse has less time to run with weight, and its strength is relatively sufficient, both Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo have said that when it comes to life and death, you must be calm, and think of everything that should be thought, and if you are not careful, it will cause a big disaster.

Although it was like scolding to say "lucky" or "lucky" at this time, the menacing horse team cavalry outside did not enter the mountain to pursue, and Zhu Da took Zhou Qingyun to ride towards the salt cave.

The salt cave has been developed for nearly four years, but there are still no more than seven people who know this salt cave, even Li Zongqi's side only has vague suspicions, the Zhu family and the Xiang family have hidden this very well, and even there is camouflage on the road, the fork in the mountain road seems to be at the end, but the bushes and hay can be removed, and it is found that there is a small road winding forward, there are horseshoe prints and wheelbarrow ruts on the road, but they are all very vague, it seems to be a long time, in fact, every time it has to be dealt with specially, trouble is trouble, but such a note of decades or even hundreds of years of financial resources, no matter how much trouble it is, it is worth it.

Zhou Qingyun didn't wake up halfway, although he was physically strong, but at that critical moment, Zhu Da had no sense of proportion, and after being knocked unconscious, Zhu Da was even worried about whether he would directly beat people to death.

After arriving near the salt cave, Zhu Da breathed a sigh of relief, this side is more hidden than the road, in the past few years, Xiang Bo and Zhu Shi deliberately transplanted bushes around, and watered and fertilized, resulting in much denser vegetation here than before, looking no different from ordinary mountain depressions, only familiar people know that there is another mystery, here is Zhu Da's credit, he used some tips for more than 20 years, basically the illusion of vision.

After a few rounds, I came to the small house in front of the salt cave, which is a fairly neat adobe wooden house, which took Xiang Bo and Zhu Shi nearly a year and a half to build, and the reason why it took so long was mainly spent on covertly transporting materials into the mountain.

Since the construction of this small mansion, Xiang Bo is willing to come here to live here for a while even if he does not transport salt, the environment is good and very quiet, almost no people, very bit of paradise.

After arriving at the door, Zhu Da did not knock on the door, but reached into the gap in the fence, touched a leather rope, pulled it twice, and there was a faint sound of a bell, and after a while, he heard the door of the house inside being pushed open, and Qin Qin's cheerful voice sounded: "Brother Zhu, Brother Qingyun, you are here!" ”

There was no trace of panic in the ten-year-old girl's tone, if her peers were left alone in the mountains like this, they would have collapsed with fright, but Qin Qin thought it was very interesting, this was also related to the fact that the girl had experienced too many things, in addition, if someone knocked on the door directly, no one would greet her at all, Qin Qin would run out of this mansion from the tunnel, hide and wait in a hidden mansion dozens of steps away, if it was Xiang Bozai, he would come out of the tunnel, approach from behind with a knife, and see who it was.

Qin Qin opened the door from the inside, and as soon as she saw the scene outside the door, the joy and smile on her face froze, she saw Zhou Qingyun who was being held by Zhu Da, saw the blurred flesh and blood on the belly of the mount, and also saw the redness and swelling on Zhu Da's face and others.

"Brother Zhu, why are you crying...... What's wrong......"

Standing in front of the door of this small mansion, Zhu Da suddenly felt that he couldn't hold back his tears, his vision became extremely blurry, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, he heard Qin Qin's inquiry, and reached out to wipe it, but he touched his swollen cheek, I don't know if it hurts or what, which makes the tears flow even more.

Qin Qin and Zhu Da have known each other for a few years, and she has always felt that although this brother is not a few years older than herself, he talks and behaves like a person ten or twenty years older, and is even as mature as her father, but seeing such a look today makes Qin Qin a little at a loss.

"Shut it, close the door." Zhu Da said this silently, he wanted to cry, but he was still trying to control it, and now when it was time to cry, it would frighten Qin Qin even more.

put Zhou Qingyun on the earthen kang in the house, put the horses on the side of the simple stable, and after formally treating the wounds, he added the prepared forage, and Zhu Da returned to the house.

All the materials in this mountain hut are stored very sufficiently, enough for five people to live for a month, and it is not too easy to accumulate so many materials, but from the Zhu family's parents to Xiang Bo, they are very supportive of this, they understand this as a refuge, and since the days have started, they have a strong sense of crisis.

"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?" Qin Qin saw that Zhu Da's mood had stabilized a little, and hurriedly asked.

Zhu Da was not ready to hide anything, he opened his mouth to speak, he didn't say anything in the first sentence, he opened his mouth again, and found that his voice was extremely hoarse, and he had been silent since he came in just now, and he didn't notice this situation.

"Mongols...... The Tartars have come in, and they have already entered the White Castle Village and the New Village......"

"Tartar...... The Mongols in the steppes came in? Qin Qin asked incomprehensibly, and then her eyes widened, this matter was too incredible for her.

"Didn't you say this is the hinterland? Didn't Dad say that there is any laxity now, but it will take a few years to bear fruit, how can this be? ”

No matter how smart a girl is, after all, she is here at her age, and she usually doesn't pay attention to these, and all she gets is a little fragmented impression and concept.

"What about uncles and aunts? What to do with Grandpa Xiang? What about Sister Chunhua? After the girl asked the first few questions ignorantly, she finally reacted, and her voice became much sharper, these people were not relatives to Qin Qin but they were like relatives, and the girl reacted quickly.

Qin Qin's words made Zhu Da silent, he didn't know how to answer, Zhu Da suddenly felt that the people around him were ridiculous, but what was even more ridiculous was himself, this is the hinterland of Datong, but it is less than seven days' journey to the border pass, and others were paralyzed by this short period of peace, and they had more than 20 years of knowledge and memory, so how could they believe in the "hinterland" and "Taiping", this is the border pass! This is a war zone! What's so peaceful about that!

"Brother Zhu, don't scare me, what's wrong with them......"

At this time, Zhou Qingyun, who was lying on the side, woke up in a daze, and at first he didn't understand the situation in front of him, and subconsciously said "How did he enter the mountain", but the next moment he turned over and got up, Qin Qin, who was focused on Zhu Da, was startled, and after seeing Zhou Qingyun wake up, he shifted his target and asked, "Brother Qingyun, what's wrong in the village?" ”

Zhou Qingyun ignored Qin Qin, got up and came to Zhu Da with red eyes, punched him, and shouted angrily: "You bastard, it's not that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, we can still save people, you eggless bastard......"

He choked up after he said a few words, after Zhu Da was punched by him, he just stood up silently, Zhou Qingyun scolded a few words and punched over, Zhu Da stretched out his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't save it, we can't catch up!" ”

These words made Zhou Qingyun furious, waved his fist and hit it again, and hissed and scolded: "If you can't save it, you will die together, you don't have Xiang Bo in your heart at all, you cold-blooded beast, you don't have your father and mother in your heart at all, you just take care of yourself, when have you ever had someone else in your heart, usually you pretend to be good, when it comes to such a life and death juncture, you will be exposed, what else is in your eyes!" ”

In such an emotion, Zhou Qingyun's movements were not in order, just fighting non-stop, Zhu Da didn't block much, he was hit a few times in succession, and took two steps back, after listening to Zhou Qingyun's screams, Zhu Da suddenly grabbed Zhou Qingyun's arms, retreated, and directly restrained Zhou Qingyun, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't move.

"Don't fight!" Qin Qin was so frightened that she cried out.

"I ......" Zhu Da said aloud, but found that he didn't know what to say next.

In a sense, Zhou Qingyun actually didn't say anything wrong, Zhu Da regards his parents in this life as his biological father, but there is a sense of alienation that only he can know, not so much a flesh-and-blood family, not as an elder relative with a good relationship, such awkwardness and eccentricity, Zhu Shi and Zhu Wang only think that the child may grow up and will be fine in the future, but Zhou Qingyun has other feelings, including Xiang Bo, once he becomes a master and apprentice in this era, the relationship is extraordinary, But Zhu Da has always maintained a close and respectful attitude, and treats him as an amiable teacher, nothing more.

After seeing the cavalry rushing like a surging tide, he didn't want to save people, was it because he really couldn't save them, or did he simply consider himself and gave up that little possibility, was it selfish and cold-blooded? Zhu Da found that he couldn't think clearly, and he couldn't tell clearly, whether the seemingly instinctive reaction at that time was cold-blooded or not, he couldn't think clearly, he couldn't understand!

"Let go of me! You bastard! You are worthy of ......" Zhou Qingyun was still scolding.

Zhu Da took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't control it, tears flowed, and he couldn't help but want to cry, so he took a few deep breaths, Zhu Da finally calmed down, his hands strengthened, Zhou Qingyun immediately couldn't speak in pain, Zhu Da said in a hoarse voice: "If we go, we will die together, we will live, we will take revenge!" ”
