Singing is the best way to pass the time, Du Wenhao has this experience, and now the society goes to the mass sales song city to sing and drink, and he hasn't sung a few songs in KTV, and the night has passed.

Escaped the snowstorm outside in the ice cave, in Du Wenhao's arms, the eldest princess's cold felt a lot better, although her body was still hot, her headache was cracking, her whole body was sore, and she was coughing all the time, but she still gritted her teeth and cooperated with Du Wenhao to sing and learn songs, she knew that only when the snowstorm stopped at dawn could she find the medicinal materials and be rescued.

The singing time passed quickly, and as I sang, I felt that the ice cave was gradually getting brighter, and I could faintly see the silhouette of the person.

The eldest princess said happily: "It's dawn, right?" ”

Du Wenhao looked up at the snow layer above his head, and there was a faint light soaking in, as if diving to the bottom of a deep river and looking up at the sky: "It should be!" Let's get out! ”

"Wait, what if there's still a snowstorm outside?"

With the faint light, he could already see the outline clearly, Du Wenhao touched her forehead: "You have such a bad fever, you can't wait any longer, if you wait any longer, your condition will worsen, and it will be dangerous." Dig a small hole first and see what's going on outside. ”

"Well...... that's fine."

Du Wenhao got out of the quilt, helped her tuck the quilt, knelt in the snow, picked up the quiver, and began to shovel the snow layer above her head.

"Wait!" The eldest princess said, "Don't shovel the top of your head, it will collapse, if the snowstorm hasn't stopped, we won't have a place to hide." Shovel diagonally, so it doesn't collapse. ”

"Yes, yes!" Du Wenhao secretly scolded himself for being a nerd, why he didn't understand this truth, so he took the quiver and began to dig diagonally. Slowly, the snow cave became brighter and brighter. Du Wenhao's men also felt more and more relaxed digging in the snow, knowing that they were getting closer and closer to the surface of the snow layer.

At this time, it was already certain that it must be dawn outside, but it is not known whether the snowstorm has stopped. He stopped what he was doing, listened attentively, and quietly did not hear anything famous.

When the snow was already very bright, Du Wenhao plucked up his courage and stabbed it out with his fist. With a bang, a hole was pierced in the last layer of snow.

Call!

A cold wind blew in, startling Du Wenhao, and then found that after this gust of wind, there was no blizzard like last night, so he hurriedly stabilized his mind, and he couldn't hear the howling of the storm in his ears.

I saw that the mountain slopes in the distance were covered with snow, and the trees on the mountain were also covered with white velvet snowflakes.

"It's dawn, the wind has stopped!" Du Wenhao shouted, he didn't care about using the quiver, pushed the snow out with both hands, and soon, he pushed open a hole more than one person wide. He turned around and said, "Eldest princess, I'll go out and observe first, and I'll come back to pick you up right away!" ”

The eldest princess exclaimed happily, "Good! Be careful! ”

Du Wenhao climbed out of the ice cave, knelt up, didn't care about the snowflakes on his body, stood up straight and looked around, only to see that the mountains and fields had become a world of ice and snow, and a red sun hung in the east, and it had already risen high.

He took a few steps forward, each step sinking deep into the soft snowdrifts, and the journey was very difficult. He poured back, lay down at the mouth of the hole, and shouted inside: "Eldest princess, the blizzard has stopped, the sun has come out, and there is no one around, and no animals are seen." It's safe. You wait for me in the ice cave, I'll go collect the medicine! ”

The eldest princess said, "I'm ......, I'm here alone...... Afraid! If you ......, you'd better pull me out!" ”

"But it's cold outside, much colder than inside, and your condition will get worse!"

"I don't care, cough cough, it's already very heavy, I don't care about this......, I want to see you pick medicine, I'm scared alone! cough cough cough ......"

Du Wenhao listened to her words with a crying voice, he must have been really scared, most girls have claustrophobia and dare not stay alone in this kind of black house. Then he said: "Okay, you hand out the quilt first, and then I'll pull you out!" ”

After Du Wenhao pulled the quilt out, he first flattened the quilt in the snow, and then grabbed the eldest princess's hand and dragged her out.

Only then did I see the appearance of the eldest princess clearly, with her hair scattered and her dress untidy. The whole is a refugee fleeing the famine. Du Wenhao couldn't help laughing, helped her pat off the snowflakes on her body, helped her sit down on the side of the brocade quilt, and wrapped the other half around her body: "I'm just picking medicine on the opposite mountain, you can see me, I can also see you, if there is any danger, I will rush back immediately, if the storm or the beast comes, you will climb into the ice cave, the beast will drill into the hole, you will stab it with the arrow inside!"

"Well, I see, where's my horse?" The eldest princess was still thinking about her red horse, and when she looked around, she couldn't see the shadow of the horse.

Du Wenhao couldn't bear to tell her about the broken leg of the horse, for fear that she would be sad, so he said, "Maybe I ran away." He could roughly identify the place where the horse had lost its front hooves last night, and when he looked up, he couldn't see any traces, the horse's two front legs were broken, and it was estimated that he couldn't escape the blizzard, and it was likely that he had frozen to death and was submerged in the ice and snow.

Du Wenhao said: "I'm going, I'll be back soon, don't worry!" ”

"Well, be careful!"

Du Wenhao nodded, took the quiver, waded through the deep snow with difficulty, came to the edge of the hillside, and began to climb up.

The snow on the hillside was much shallower than in the valley, and the direction he traveled was the place where he remembered the fall of the red horse, and he wanted to see if he could find anything left.

The place where the horse fell in my memory is not far from the bottom of the valley, and when I came to the place where the red horse fell in my memory, I looked around, and it was already white.

According to the depth of the snow and the volume of the horse, judging that even if the horse was buried in the snow, it should not be buried deeply, Du Wenhao broke a branch and pricked it nearby.

The eldest princess sat at the bottom of the valley, looking up at him, the two were only an arrow away from each other, and she could see clearly, seeing that he kept pricking the snow with branches, she didn't know what he was doing, could she find herbs in this way? This kid is mysterious, his medical skills are also very weird, maybe the way to find medicine is also very weird, the eldest princess has a splitting headache, nausea and wants to vomit, after leaving the ice cave, especially without Du Wenhao's embrace, his body began to shiver with cold again, he was groggy and coughed constantly, he could only wrap the quilt tightly and tremble, looking at him from a distance, and he didn't have the strength to ask more.

Finally, Du Wenhao's branch was stuck to something, and he was overjoyed, threw away the branch, took the quiver and began to plan.

After a few shavings, I bumped into something, and I was busy digging away the snow with my hands, and found that there was a saddle under the snow!

Found it, he continued to cut away the snow, and sure enough, it was the eldest princess's jujube red horse buried underneath, which was as stiff as a stone. The long sword and the curved bow were still in the saddle. There is also a carved wolf's tooth arrow next to it. It should have been shaken off the quiver and dropped to the ground when the jujube horse fell.

He was happy and a little sad, the eldest princess's jujube red horse had frozen to death in the snow. He laboriously removed his sword and bow. Straightened up, and found that the eldest princess below was looking at him, so he said loudly: "I found your sword and bow and arrows, but there is no jujube red horse, I don't know where to run." ”

It was far away, and the eldest princess couldn't see the jujube red horse buried in the snow, so she just nodded, and didn't have the strength to answer.

Du Wenhao put the bow and arrow next to the horse, and took it when he came back later, and the sword had to be brought with him to dig up herbs.

He checked again for what else he could use, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he saw the saddle.

The saddle is made of leather, but the saddle is iron! And it is arc-shaped, and if you disassemble it and bend it, you can make a simple pot for boiling medicine. Before he found this thing, Du Wenhao was originally going to pick medicinal herbs for the eldest princess to eat raw, but now that he has this thing, it is the best.

The pot is there, what to do with the fire? I don't have a fire sickle on my body, so I continue to search, I hope God will open his eyes.

There is also a small package on the horse, which is the wet clothes that the eldest princess changed into after falling into the ice hole and being fished up, which is men's clothing. He unwrapped the package, pinched the wet suit with his hand to check, and suddenly, his fingers touched a hard thing, and he hurriedly opened it to see that it was really a fire sickle!

It turns out that the eldest princess is dressed as a man, and she is not wearing a robe and coat, but a neat short dress, this kind of equipment is generally worn by people who are in the army and hunting, and the fire sickle is a must-have, so there is this thing in the clothes and equipment.

Du Wenhao was very happy, put the fire sickle into his arms, and the saddle was temporarily forgotten, it was a bit heavy and not easy to carry, he decided to come back to get the saddle after collecting the medicine first, turned around and went up the mountain, and began to look for the medicinal materials needed for the ephedra soup.

Ephedra soup is made from the combination of ephedra, cinnamon branches, licorice, and almonds. The plants are relatively tall, and the snow on the slopes of the mountains only reaches the calves, and you can find them in the common areas by blowing the snow with a quiver. And these four herbs are very common, and he quickly found the ephedra, licorice and almonds he needed.

However, the cinnamon branch has never been found, because the main production areas of the cinnamon branch are in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. And now he is in the mountains west of Kaifeng, so he searched the entire hillside, but he did not find any trace of Guizhi.

What to do?

Although ephedra can also sweat and relieve the surface, however, the cinnamon branch can warm the meridians and veins, pass the yang and turn the qi, promote the yang qi in the guard, and smooth the blood on the skin surface, which helps to protect the real surface, sweat and dissolve the muscles, and disperse the wind and cold. This is something that cannot be replaced by ephedra.

Sun typhoid fever has muscle and vein spasms, and qi and blood are stagnant, so there will be a lot of pain syndrome. These pains are caused by the poor flow of qi and blood, all pains, itching and sores belong to the heart, and the main vein of the heart, the cinnamon branch is attributed to the heart, so the role of the cinnamon branch in the ephedra soup is irreplaceable.

Du Wenhao was very depressed, sitting on the snow, looking at the eldest princess who had become a small black spot in the valley, she was still trembling and waiting, but there was no cinnamon branch, how to use ephedra soup?

He was thinking about what to replace.

Perilla? Perilla can also sweat and relieve the surface, but the sweating function is relatively mild, and it is mainly suitable for those who cough up and asthma with a lot of phlegm, which is not very suitable. The same is true for ginger, the effect of dispelling wind and dissipating cold is relatively weak, so it is rained and cold, when the wind and cold first appear, you can use ginger with green onion white and brown sugar to boil ginger soup to drink, which can play a preventive role, and it is not suitable now, and there is no place to find it.

Herbs? It is mostly used for people with cold and spleen and stomach dampness, and it is more suitable to drink more cold drinks to make a stomach on a hot day, but it is not quite symptomatic here. And the main production area is in the Huguang area, and it has not been seen near Kaifeng.

Nepeta? I just saw this medicine, nepeta scab divergence wind and cold medicinal properties are relatively peaceful, but it is suitable for external sensory manifestation, with the compatibility of wind, Qianghuo, Duhuo and other drugs of Jing antiseptic poison dispersion, treatment of cold and fever, headache without sweat is very suitable, but also symptomatic, can be used as an alternative.

Think about it again and see what could be a more suitable alternative. Wind? Just now I was looking for medicine all over the mountain, but I didn't see the wind, if only I could find this thing, the windbreak can not only solve the surface, but the most important thing is that it can also treat concussions! Although it is not as good as ochre, it is better than nothing. It's just that the main production areas of fengfeng are in the northeast and eastern Inner Mongolia, and this medicine is not produced near Kaifeng. Moreover, the parsnip is mainly to dispel the wind and relieve the surface, which is not longer than the cold, and the treatment of the eldest princess's external feeling is not very symptomatic.

Qianghuo? This is a good medicine to relieve the surface, and the nine-flavor Qianghuo soup that is compatible with fengfeng, fine pungent and so on, is a good medicine for dispelling wind and relieving pain. However, people with weak spleen and stomach may vomit when taking this medicine. The eldest princess now has signs of nausea and vomiting after a concussion, and with this thing, I'm afraid she will vomit a lot. Don't think about it yet.

Angelica dahurica? The main function of Angelica Angelica is to clear the nose. Nasal congestion and runny nose are commonly used, although it can also relieve cold, but it is relatively mild and not very symptomatic. Not for now.

Asarium?

Du Wenhao's eyes lit up,——That's right! Fine! That's it!

Henan is one of the main producing areas of fine puncture, the fine bitter is most suitable for the external feeling of wind and cold, the symptoms of head and body pain are more severe, the fine bitter and the warm go away, up to the surface into the inside, although the sweating power is not as good as ephedra and cinnamon branches, but the strength of the cold is better, with the sweating effect of ephedra, it can be said to complement each other. The main thing is that it also returns to the Heart Sutra! This is the same as cinnamon sticks, and in the absence of cinnamon sticks, it should be the most suitable substitute for them.

I thought about several other commonly used medicines to diffuse wind and cold, and felt that they were not as suitable as fine xin, so I made up my mind.

He took the quiver and began to search for the spice, which was also a common medicine, and soon found it. Xing Chong took the medicine he picked and stumbled all the way down the mountain. On the way, I also picked up some dry branches to use as firewood.

When he came to the carcass of the red horse, he put down the medicine and firewood, took off the saddle, found a suitable stone to make a tool, dismantled the tie, and smashed the curved iron saddle beam inside into a simple pot with the stone.

When he was done, he straightened up and thumped his back. Turning her head to look at the eldest princess in the valley, she smiled, and was about to speak, when she suddenly found that the eldest princess's expression was wrong, and she was surprised when she heard the eldest princess's terrifying shout: "Be careful!" - There are wolves in the back! ”

Du Wenhao was so frightened that he turned around sharply, only to see three gray wolves emerging from behind a cliff more than a hundred steps away!

The three gray wolves had hideous eyes and were staring at Du Wenhao coldly.

Du Wenhao's first thought was to run away! But as soon as he turned around, he stopped, and he suddenly thought of an ancient text he had learned in middle school Chinese class, the name was called wolf if he wanted to, and he remembered that he was a butcher who met a wolf in the middle of the road, fought wits and courage with the wolf, and finally slaughtered the wolf. At that time, when the teacher explained this text, he said that when encountering a wolf, you must not panic, let alone run, because the speed of a human is definitely not comparable to that of a wolf. Moreover, the wolf is "an iron head and a copper neck, and he can't hold a piece in his waist", so he has to hit the back to beat the wolf.

However, Du Wenhao was not ready to fight with the wolf, because he had a bow and arrow and a sword in his hand!

However, there was only one eagle wolf tooth arrow, which was left here by luck, and the rest of the arrows were used to dig the snow cave last night, and they were all left in the snow cave.

He hurriedly drew his sword and pointed it at the three hungry wolves, his eyes like torches, staring at them viciously.

But the three wolves were not frightened by his gaze, and slowly outflanked him in a zigzag shape.

Du Wenhao didn't dare to retreat, nor did he dare to look back, and shouted loudly to the eldest princess under the mountain: "Quick! Hurry into the snow cave! Come on! ”

Although the eldest princess likes to hunt and has also shot jackals, it was carried out under the escort of a large group of heavily armed guards and a large group of hunting dogs, and at this moment only Du Wenhao was alone, and he did not have any weapons in his hand, so he immediately panicked, staggered to his feet, and shouted with a crying voice: "I don't ......!" ”

"Hurry! You hide in it, so I don't have to worry about it, so I can concentrate on dealing with them! ”

The eldest princess stared at the three wolves, subconsciously took a step back, stopped, took two steps forward, and hissed, "I don't! - Okay, let's live together! Die to die together! ”

Du Wenhao's body was shocked, and he glanced back at her, and saw that she was wrapped in a brocade quilt, with ribbons tied around her waist indiscriminately, unkempt, sloppy and even a little funny, but at this moment, it made him feel a heart-warming beauty.

With just one glance, he immediately turned his head back, and in this short moment, the three wolves had quickly approached several feet forward! Seeing Du Wenhao turn back, he stood up abruptly again, staring at Du Wenhao with cold eyes.

Du Wenhao stared at the evil wolf, didn't dare to look back, and shouted: "Eldest princess! I need arrows! I only have one here, and the rest of the arrows are in the snow cave, so you hurry up and go into the snow cave and throw the arrows at me!" ”

The eldest princess also knew that the arrow was in the snow cave, but she guessed that Du Wenhao wanted to use this trick to let her enter the snow cave to avoid danger, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she said, "I'...... I ......"

Seeing that the three wolves began to approach slowly again, Du Wenhao suddenly became anxious and roared: "You fucking want to die, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die!" Why don't you roll Lao Tzu into the snow cave and throw the arrow out to Lao Tzu! Do you want to kill Lao Tzu? ”

The eldest princess didn't expect Du Wenhao to scold her mother, her face flushed, she stomped her foot suddenly, lifted off the brocade quilt on her body, turned around and stumbled to the entrance of the snow cave, and slipped into the hole along the sloping passage.

Du Wenhao stuck the long sword in his hand on the snow, slowly squatted down and grabbed the longbow on the ground and the carved wolf tooth arrow, the wolf and the dog were afraid of people bending down and squatting, so they habitually stood still, hesitating whether to continue to move forward.

Du Wenhao squatted on the ground, grabbed the longbow, quietly put the arrow on the string, and pulled it away slightly. Then slowly move your feet into a kneeling position, take a deep breath to be as calm as possible, and stare at the hungry wolf walking in front, estimating the distance.

There is only one arrow in the hand, which must be hit in one hit, as long as one is killed, and the remaining two are relatively easy to deal with the sword. So this arrow must not be missed!

He was not confident in his archery skills, and when he used to shoot arrows at home, he would fall on target at a distance of 20 meters. So he decided to put the wolves within ten meters, these three wolves are very strong, like calves, such a distance, he is sure that he can shoot. Ten meters was enough for him to throw away his bow and draw his sword on the ground to deal with the two remaining wolves that pounced.

The place where Du Wenhao was was behind the dead jujube red horse, there was still the corpse of the jujube red horse between him and the three wolves, the sight of the three wolves was blocked by the corpse of the jujube red horse, and he didn't know that he had a bow and arrow in his hand, seeing him squatting on the ground and not moving, he slowly relaxed his vigilance, and the speed of progress became faster and faster, and began to trot.

Finally, the first wolf rushed to a distance of about ten meters from Du Wenhao, and suddenly his body paused slightly and opened his mouth wide.

Du Wenhao immediately felt that the cold hairs all over his body stood up, and a huge sense of danger hit his whole body,—— wolf was about to pounce!

He immediately raised his arm and drew his bow, and with a bang, pulled a full moon and aimed it at the wolf!

The wolf was startled at the sight of the bow and arrow, and was about to leap up when he slammed and stopped.

Just at the moment when its front force had disappeared, its back force had not grown, and its body was stunned, Du Wenhao aimed at its chest and shot an arrow!

Sou!

The arrow is like a meteor, flashing and hitting the chest of the evil wolf!

The wolf screamed, fell backwards, then got up, turned around and ran. This wolf was the first wolf, and as soon as it ran, the other two wolves immediately turned around and fled, and the three wolves ran out of more than 100 steps in an instant.

At this time, the head wolf who was hit by the arrow was too seriously injured and could no longer escape, so he stood on a boulder, turned around, and looked back at Du Wenhao.

At this moment, the eldest princess crawled out of the snow cave, holding a carved wolf tooth arrow in her hand, shouting, stumbling and running towards Du Wenhao.

She only ran a few steps before she stopped, because she found that Du Wenhao was standing there casually with a longbow in hand, and the three wolves in front of him were gone.

She was surprised and delighted, her eyes swept away, and she suddenly found that on the boulder a hundred and ten steps away from Du Wenhao, the vicious wolf was standing there, with an arrow stuck in his chest!

Then the wolf shook twice and fell to the boulder. The remaining two wolves howled twice, and hurried up the hill with their tails between their legs, and disappeared over the mountain beam.

Although Du Wenhao stood upright with a longbow in his hand, looking very majestic, only he knew that his legs were trembling, and his heart was beating like a drumming drum beaten by a heavy hammer. He felt like his whole body was collapsed, as if his muscles and bones were being adjusted, and he really wanted to sit on the snow, but he still held on.

The eldest princess was ecstatic and climbed up one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow.

Du Wenhao turned around slowly and smiled at her: "Don't come up, I'll come down immediately!" The eldest princess stopped.

Du Wenhao also shrugged his shoulders and mouthed in the direction of the dead wolf on the cliff: "Do you want to take the prey back?" ”

The eldest princess had palpitations, for fear that the remaining wolves would go and return, and when she heard this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "No, no! Don't! Come down! Fast! ”

Du Wenhao pretended to carry the longbow on his back in a chic manner, held the grass, firewood and sword, as well as the pot made from the saddle beam just now, stopped step by step and slowly walked down the mountain, came to the eldest princess, and threw the things in his hand on the ground. Grinned at her.

But the eldest princess cried, and the phoenix looked at him with tears in her eyes, and suddenly fell into her arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried with a whimper.
