Chapter 53: Avalanche
Su Qin and Shi Chang were coerced by Huo Xuan all day long, looking for purple marble in the depths of the deserted Qilian Snow Mountain. However, the purple marble was a divine product of creation, how could it be easily found by them, and the process of slowly searching for it turned into a hard torture.
Su Qin made up his mind to get out as soon as possible, so he paid more attention to his surroundings and looked for a way to escape.
He discovered a detail: since the snow on the snow-capped mountains began to show signs of melting, there were traces of domestic animals such as cows, sheep, and horses in the valley. This indicates that there are already shepherds who regularly go in and out of the valley to graze their livestock.
"Can you figure out a way to get from them?" Su Qin decided to try his luck.
Sure enough, one day, the five of them went into the mountain early in the morning and searched for the purple marble all day, but they found nothing. In the evening, the group had no choice but to go down the mountain, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Qin found two wranglers in the distance driving the horses out of the valley, and they were probably about to drive the horses home after a day's grass.
If Su Qin and the others didn't dodge, the Wrangler could just pass by them. Su Qin was overjoyed and felt that this was a rare opportunity.
He hurriedly stepped on a stone with his right foot, and in order to be realistic and not to let Huo Xuan suspect it, he used sixty percent of his strength to deliberately stumble his foot. This action really hurt his foot, and in an instant he fell to the ground in pain, grinning and inhaling cool air, and his mouth let out a cry of pain.
Huo Xuan also noticed the Wrangler, he was thinking about avoiding the Wrangler, when he saw Su Qinwei's feet fall to the ground in a blink of an eye, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
Huo Xuan snorted his mouth at the two relatives, and the two relatives stepped forward to pull up Su Qin, Su Qin was in unbearable pain, and he couldn't maintain a standing posture alone at that time, and fell to the ground again. Huo Xuan was furious, revealing his hideous true face, and he instructed the two relatives to forcibly set up Su Qin.
In order to let the Wrangler discover himself, Su Qin finally waited for this opportunity, where was he willing to listen to them. The two relatives then punched and kicked Su Qin.
Shi Chang couldn't see it from the sidelines, and he couldn't help if he wanted to, so he could only scold Huo Xuan for being mad.
Su Qin made a heart, even if he was beaten and his nose and face were swollen, he still didn't get up, Huo Xuan couldn't control it, he rushed up and beat Su Qin, he hit him very hard, and soon kicked Su Qin's legs swollen and kicked him on the head several times. If he continued to fight, Su Qin's life would be in the balance.
Shi Chang scolded so much that his voice was hoarse, and he repeatedly threatened and scolded Huo Xuan, but Huo Xuan just didn't stop. It seems that this time, he sprinkled his anger at Su Qin for not finding the purple cloud stone.
When Huo Xuan was playing energetically, a wrangler in the distance galloped over on a horse, one tall and one short, both wearing trousers and coats made of animal skins. The two of them came to the five of them, shouting and screaming at them, gesturing with their hands.
The five of them didn't understand what it meant. Huo Xuan thought that the Wrangler was going to interfere with him beating Su Qin, and he was very angry, and his right hand had already put on the handle of the knife, and when the Wrangler stepped forward to intervene, he drew the knife and fought with them.
When the wrangler saw that they could not understand his words, he was sweating profusely and his face was bruised, and he looked at the mountain peak, and pointed to it with his hand, and took the jug from his waist, and poured out some water, and aloud imitated the sound of running water.
Su Qin observed their strange movements, pondering their intentions. Suddenly, he understood. He shouted loudly to Shi Chang: "Mr. Shi, run!" The snow on the snowy mountain is melting, and the snow on it is about to collapse, and the Wrangler has come to tell us to run away. ”
Huo Xuan took a closer look at the mountain peak and found that the thick snow was indeed different from the previous position, and there was a faint creaking sound in his ears, which was the snow sliding. He was so frightened that his face changed early, and he hurriedly ran out of the valley with his two relatives.
Su Qin was beaten by them and his legs were about to break, he struggled to stand up, shouted to Shi Chang, and left the foot of the mountain with Shi Chang.
Not long after they ran out, the snow on the snowy mountain began to rumble down. It collapsed faster than even a horse. How could Su Qin and Shi Chang escape.
The wrangler, seeing that if he left them alone, they would surely die, turned his horse's head, came back, picked up the two men, put them on their horses, and galloped out of the valley together.
However, the avalanche was still faster than the galloping horses, and the edge of the snow eventually swept them all away. Su Qin and the others soon had difficulty breathing and lost consciousness.
When Su Qin woke up again, he found that he was in a white tent, and the tent was also made of thick felt, but it was square, not like the circle of the Yiqu people. The tent was lit with charcoal fire, and it was as warm as spring.
Su Qin felt some pain in his body, and his hands were also a little strange, he moved his arms, and found that the rope that bound him had been untied. His hands had been tied for a month, and he suddenly let go, and he was really stiff and uncomfortable.
Su Qin tried to move his arms slowly, and at the same time, he also looked at the situation in the tent, he saw that Shi Chang's rope was also untied, but the person was still unconscious, and Huo Xuan and his two relatives were also lying in the tent, as if they were also unconscious.
Su Qin really wanted to go up and beat Huo Xuan immediately, but his legs were injured and he was very inconvenient, so he suppressed his revenge for the time being. He sat up slowly, adjusting his breathing, his arms bent and extended, trying to regain consciousness.
While he was practicing, he closed his eyes slightly, secretly observing Huo Xuan's movements.
Su Qin knew that Huo Xuan was cunning, and he didn't dare to be careless about him at all. Sure enough, he saw that Huo Xuan's small eyes were moving, but the person still pretended to faint and didn't move. Su Qin thought to himself: "Huo Xuan is confusing himself and making himself relax his vigilance, he may not be holding back some bad water in his heart." ”
He found that Huo Xuan had woken up, but his heart was down-to-earth and practiced quietly. Due to the inconvenience of legs and feet, static braking is the best choice.
Huo Xuan squinted at Su Qin, and found that Su Qin was concentrating on his practice, his eyes were closed, and he didn't notice his movements, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Huo Xuan first moved his hand to observe Su Qin's reaction, he saw that Su Qin didn't notice it at all, so he moved his leg again, and Su Qin still ignored it.
Huo Xuan's courage became bigger and bigger, he secretly accumulated strength, suddenly jumped up, pounced on him from behind Su Qin, and hit the back of Su Qin's head with both palms. If he hits with one blow, Su Qin will be crippled if he doesn't die.
Huo Xuan made it clear that he didn't want to keep Su Qin alive anymore, and he used to leave him in order to coax Shi Chang to be happy, so that Shi Chang could follow him with peace of mind. Now that the purple cloud stone has not been found, spring has arrived, Huo Xuan is also ready to give up the treasure hunting plan, and it is useless to keep Su Qin, so he simply makes a fatal move.
