Chapter 251: Walking in the Snow for Two
After an earth-shattering avalanche, there was silence in the mountains and forests. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yang Guang ordered the "black general" to fly in front of his head to lead the way, while he waded through the snow more than half a foot thick on the ground, led the horse, and walked two or three miles away, feeling that he had completely lost consciousness under his feet. An Ruoxi rode on horseback, saw that Yang Guang's footsteps gradually slowed down, and felt sorry for him to explore the way for himself in the snow, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, insisting on forcing Yang Guang to ride on the horse, and walked in front of the horse to explore the way.
"Ruoxi, if we go on like this, we won't wait until the foot of the mountain, our feet will be frozen, and we have to find another way." Yang Guang said to An Ruoxi with hot breath in his mouth and a trembling voice.
"Lord Wang, you have just seen it, if we don't leave, sooner or later we will freeze to death and starve to death in this mountain." An Ruoxi saw that Yang Guang was reluctant to get on the horse, and strongly persuaded himself not to go on a snow walk, mistakenly thinking that he was a delicate person and could not afford to endure this hardship, so he patiently persuaded him.
"You get on your horse first, let me think." Yang Guang had something else in mind.
When he stopped and thought about moving, he remembered that he had seen on TV before the crossing, people in the Northeast traveled on snowy days, and they mostly used dogs to pull sleds, and his eyes lit up, so he turned around and shouted to An Ruoxi: "Yes." So he walked through the snow to a big tree beside the road......
The two men worked together and spent nearly half an hour to tie a pair of sliding plows with the thick trunks of the felled trees, and then tied the sliding plows to the "iron hoof dragon" with sturdy rattans, so that a set of horse-drawn sliding plows was ready.
Because they thought that they had to rely on the "Iron Hoof Dragon" to pull the plow on the road, the two of them worked tirelessly to return to the hillside, pulled out a lot of grass, and piled it on the plow, so as to replenish the forage for the "Iron Hoof Dragon" at any time. Yang Guangchong gave the "Iron Hoof Dragon" an order to "drive", and the "Iron Hoof Dragon" spread its four hooves and ran through the snow with a plow.
With this set of horse-drawn plows as a means of transportation, the two of them can save much effort. It was almost evening, and the "Iron Hoof Dragon" pulled the two to the foot of the mountain.
Having thought in advance that it might take more than a day to climb over the high mountain to the east, the two men found a shelter at the foot of the mountain, settled the "Iron Hoof Dragon" and the plow, lit a bonfire with the torch in their hands, and ordered the "Black General" to catch two more pheasants, and the two sat around the campfire, roasting the chickens, and discussing how to climb the mountain next.
It is no longer realistic to climb over the steep mountain in front of you and then ride the plow pulled by the "Iron Hoof Dragon". Not only that, but leading the "Iron Hoof Dragon" to climb the mountain will add a lot of burden to the two, so around whether to take the "Iron Hoof Dragon" to climb the mountain together, there was a serious disagreement between An Ruoxi and Yang Guang.
An Ruoxi rode with Yang Guang and followed Yang Guang into the mountains alone, lost the road, and naturally the first thing she thought of was that no matter what, she also had to protect Yang Guang's safety and not have any accidents, so she advocated that before the two of them started climbing the mountain early tomorrow morning, they would let the "Iron Hoof Dragon" go, and let it find another way out of the mountain.
"Lord Wang, you don't need to worry too much about the 'Iron Hoof Dragon', not to mention that we have left three or four days of forage for it on the plow, just by the animal's survival instinct, it will not have anything to lose in the mountains." As soon as An Ruoxi saw that he was going to give up the "Iron Hoof Dragon", Yang Guang immediately looked at it and hurriedly comforted him.
"No, I can't. If it weren't for the 'Iron Hoof Dragon', we would have become food in the belly of the Golden Leopard, and no matter what, we couldn't leave the 'Iron Hoof Dragon' behind. Yang Guang was reluctant to leave the "Iron Hoof Dragon" behind in his heart, and resolutely refused.
The two were at a stalemate for a long time before An Ruoxi sighed and took the initiative to give in.
"This won't work, tomorrow let's take the 'Iron Hoof Dragon' to climb the mountain first, and the treatment will be steep, and when the 'Iron Hoof Dragon' can't climb, then put it back into the mountain, how about it?"
"No! If we do come across the place you said tomorrow, we will take a detour to the gentle slope and climb again, and I will not leave the Iron Hoof Dragon alone. Yang Guang's tone left no room for negotiation at all.
An Ruoxi was silent for a moment, then got up and went to buy forage for the "Iron Hoof Dragon".
When she turned around and came back, she saw that Yang Guang still had a stubborn look on his face, and couldn't help but smile and said to him: "If the prince insists on taking the 'Iron Hoof Dragon' to climb the mountain together, it is okay, but you must first promise me a condition." ”
"On what terms?" Yang Guang was really unhappy because An Ruoxi proposed to leave the "Iron Hoof Dragon" behind, so he didn't raise his head, and asked in a rough voice.
"From tomorrow onwards, until the mountain is climbed, the Iron Hoof Dragon will be under my care. No matter what happens along the way, you must put your own safety first, and you don't have to worry about me and the 'Iron Hoof Dragon'. Although An Ruoxi had a smile on her face, her tone of voice was clearly tough.
"How's that going to work? You're a weak woman......"
"If the prince refuses to agree to this, tomorrow he will ask the prince to take the 'Iron Hoof Dragon' alone to cross the mountains and mountains, and I will stay in this mountain and not leave." An Ruoxi really competed with Yang Guang this time, and his words were very decisive.
"Well, well. Just do as you said. Yang Guang saw that An Ruoxi was really angry, his eyes rolled, and he made his own little abacus, and said in his heart: Why don't I promise you for the time being, and then make another plan, so he gave in to An Ruoxi.
That night, the two gathered around the fire and slept in the open air.
In the middle of the night, the howls of wild beasts came from time to time in the mountains and forests, which woke the two up many times, but fortunately, with the bonfire in front of them, the mountain beasts did not dare to approach, and the two took turns to sleep for two or three hours.
Early the next morning, the two officially started climbing the mountain, and after climbing a short distance along the mountain road, they encountered a steep slope in front of them. No matter the two shouted and shouted, the "Iron Hoof Dragon" could not climb this steep slope with all his strength. The problem that An Ruoxi was worried about really happened.
"Let's try to get around this steep slope." Yang Guang said to An Ruoxi first.
An Ruoxi didn't say a word, took the "Iron Hoof Dragon", turned around and left. Yang Guang was overjoyed when he saw her accommodating herself like this, and hurriedly beckoned the "Black General" to follow quickly.
There was a long mountain road around this roundabout, and the two of them led the "Iron Hoof Dragon" to climb the steep slope in a roundabout way. However, after not going far, a longer and steeper slope appeared in front of me.
"Lord Wang, you take the 'Black General' to climb the steep slope first. I'm going to lead the Iron Hoof Dragon around slowly. An Ruoxi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Yang Guang.
