Chapter 189: The Pit That Suddenly Appeared
The three carriages continued to drive in the dark, in the snowstorm. After Xia Meng and Nangong Hongyun left www.biquge.info the wind and snow suddenly increased, and a layer of ice had formed on the outside of the carriage.
More than a dozen people in the carriage were huddled in the middle, away from the walls of the carriage, wrapped in quilts to keep out the cold.
There were only three carriages left, and the carriages became a little crowded.
"Ye Cheng, it can't go on like this, we have to find a place to hide from the wind and snow, otherwise everyone will freeze to death" Bai Yingping said anxiously to the left carriage, he hugged Ding Yuxuan in his arms, and the quilt was all wrapped around his cousin.
"Brother Bai is right, those officials must know that there will be a heavy snowstorm if they don't chase them out, and it will be too dangerous for us to rush forward again" Zhu Ziju also felt a little uncomfortable.
Ye Cheng was facing the curtain of the car, and he was also worried. The carriage had begun to stumble in the wind and snow, and a layer of frost began to appear inside the carriage, which would not have become like this without minus twenty or thirty degrees.
He was also worried about the situation on Xia Meng and Nangong Hongyun's side, Nangong Hongyun's ability to resist the cold must be weaker than the five brothers of the Zhu family. Zhuziju, who has a super ability to keep out the cold, now has to shrink the quilt.
But Ye Cheng can only trust Nangong Hongyun now, because it has been an hour since they left, and they can't catch up no matter how much they chase them.
Now there are still three or four hours before dawn, and Ye Cheng feels that this time is so long.
Judging from the current wind and snow, if the temperature is to rise, it will have to wait until noon.
"When can we wait until noon" The more Ye Cheng thought about it, the more bad it became, he lifted the quilt, pulled up the curtain of the car that had formed ice and went outside.
Zhu Zi'an, who was driving the carriage outside the curtain, saw Ye Cheng come out, his face was worried, he shook the quilt wrapped around his body, looked at the left hand side and said anxiously, "Eighth brother, why did you come out, come in quickly"
A pile of snow slipped from the quilt that wrapped Zhu Zi'an, was blown by the wind on the wall of the carriage, and then scattered.
Ye Cheng focused on other things and didn't notice Zhu Zi'an's shouting. He grasped the wall of the carriage with his left hand and leaned out to look at the wheels. With the wind and snow on his back, he felt cold and cold behind his back even after wearing five pieces of clothing.
But seeing the bumpy situation of the carriage, the cold was worth it.
The wheels of the car were frozen, and lumps of ice had grown on the rounded edges.
Ye Cheng came back with a worried face, leaning his back against the side of the car, and said to himself sternly, "Sure enough, the wheels are frozen, and if you continue to run like this, I'm afraid there is a danger of overturning."
Zhu Zi'an saw Ye Cheng's nervous face, and shouted "Eighth brother" while driving the carriage seriously
Ye Cheng shook his head and looked at Zhu Zi'an, apologizing for ignoring Zhu Zi'an just now, "I'm sorry, Brother Zi'an, what did you say?" ”
Zhu Zi'an patiently continued, "You get into the carriage, it's too cold outside."
"No" Ye Cheng didn't care when he heard this, he began to look around to see if there was a place to hide from the wind and snow "Now the wind and snow are too big, we have to find a place to hide from the wind and snow"
However, in the faint moonlight, the range that the eye can see is no more than 10 meters, which is already very dangerous for the moving carriage, if there are potholes on the ground, when you see it, you are afraid that you have already fallen into it.
The left side of the road looked darker than the other places, and Ye Cheng guessed that there were woods over there, but it was useless to have woods, and it couldn't block the wind and snow. He had to find a cave or a place to keep out the wind and snow as soon as possible.
The carriage continued to drive, and Ye Cheng felt that the right side of the road was not so dark, and thought that there was a place to dodge. His attention was all on it, and he gradually saw that the snow was dented.
As the carriage progressed, the dented snow faded away, as if it had reached the edge of a pit.
Ye Cheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look ahead, and at the end of the sight of ten meters in front of him, sure enough, the edge of a pit resembled a pit appeared. He grabbed the carriage in horror, pulled the horse's head and turned to the left, trying to turn around.
"Eighth brother, what are you doing?" Zhu Zi'an shouted in panic.
"There is a cliff ahead" Ye Cheng was still pulling the horse rope desperately, and the concave snow slope could already be seen in front of him.
The horse screamed, and then, under the pull of Ye Cheng, he turned the horse's head and drove in the direction of the darkness next to him.
When the two carriages behind saw the abnormality, they also forcibly turned their horses' heads.
Fortunately, because the road conditions were unknown and the road was dark, the two carriages kept a long distance on the road, so they did not collide.
After "Huh" was safe, Zhu Zi'an stopped the carriage, looked frightened, turned his head to look at Ye Cheng, and said hesitantly, "Eighth brother, fortunately, there are you, otherwise we will fall off the cliff"
Ye Cheng was also shocked, but he felt very strange. It's flat here, how can there be a cliff?
At this time, the voice of grumbling came from inside the carriage:
"What the hell is going on?"
"It hurts."
"You've crushed my feet"
…………
Ye Cheng heard the voice, lifted the curtain that was hard like an ice cube, and stretched his head into the carriage. Seeing that everyone was huddled together because of the rapid turn of the carriage, they crowded to the back of the carriage.
Everyone huddled together, plus they might hit the wall of the carriage, they all looked a little dizzy and couldn't stand up.
Ye Cheng hurriedly walked into the carriage and stretched out his hand to pull Bai Yingping up, and then pulled up Zhuziju and the two thieves.
When he saw Concubine Zhao shrunk at the back, he quickly reached over and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
Concubine Zhao looked at her feet, as if she was pressed by a bandit, and after feeling that it was okay, she looked at Ye Cheng and said, "It's okay", and then she had already propped her hands on the ground and stood up by herself.
Ye Cheng saw that everyone was safe, and wondered if it was a cliff that appeared in front of him just now, so he quickly turned around and prepared to run out of the carriage.
At this time, Zhu Zi'an shouted outside, "Come out and have a look."
Ye Cheng hurried out, and the wind and snow outside were still blowing wildly. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, bent over, and braved the wind and snow to walk to Zhu Zi'an's side.
Ye Cheng was a little surprised when he saw the gradually concave snow slope in front of him! When I looked further, I was even more surprised! It's not a cliff at all, it's a knowing pit.
But the size of the radius of this pit is simply not visible in the dark night sky.
At this time, all the men of the carriage came down and gathered around the princes. Concubine Zhao is now standing in Ye Cheng and said, "This is not like a cliff, it is more like a pit"
"Where are we?" Zhu Ziju said with a look of surprise.
Everyone stood next to them and started talking.
The experienced Beimao felt that it was not good, took a look, turned around and walked towards the carriage, "Everyone, let's go quickly, if we continue to stand like this, it will be frozen."
In the cold weather, everyone didn't plan to stay, and walked back to the carriage one after another.
Suddenly, the snow on the ground cracked, Ye Cheng was a little surprised, and wanted to pull Concubine Zhao back, but the cracked snow kept sliding in the direction of the pit.
