Chapter 310: No One Comes
Yelujue's heart sank suddenly, because in such weather, it would be very difficult to find the right direction, the visibility was too low, it was not far to see, and there were no stars, moons, trees and mountains as a reference, only the vast white and endless snowfields, even the most seasoned hunter would be lost.
In this case, she believed that her Khitan warriors would camp in place, wait for the blizzard to pass, and then continue in the direction they had previously identified, and would not stumble around the snowfield like headless flies, in which case once they lost their way, they would go farther and farther, and it would be almost impossible to find them again.
Although he was convinced that it was a blizzard outside, Yelujue still poked the last snow at the entrance of the cave.
Immediately, a strong whirlwind blew into the cave, and she couldn't open her eyes. At that moment, she could see that it was pitch black outside, only the fierce wind raging. Nothing can be seen.
Yelujue hurriedly piled up snow to reseal the entrance to the cave until he could no longer hear the howling wind outside, and then retreated into the cave. fumbled and hugged Lu Jinping, pulled a tiger skin blanket over and covered the two of them tightly.
Although Lu Jinping couldn't move, he knew that there must be a snowstorm outside after the wind howled and the hole was opened just now, and there was no light coming in. There is no way for the Khitan warriors to find them in this weather, so they can only wait for the snowstorm to stop.
Lu Jinping immediately worried about Xiaoxiao and Siyun at this moment, and he didn't know what they would do if they encountered a snowstorm. However, as Ye Lijuan said, they have high martial arts, sufficient food, equipment, tents to protect themselves from the cold, etc., plus some Turkic elders who grew up on the grassland, as guides, they should be able to deal with this snowstorm calmly.
This night. Yelujue just hugged Lu Jinping and didn't speak, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
It wasn't until he estimated that the sky was already bright and the wind and snow should have stopped, that Yelujue reopened the entrance to the cave.
But to her disappointment, although it was indeed dawn, the blizzard did not stop. It was still a blizzard, and there was no figure to be seen dozens of paces away.
So she resealed the cave again.
In this way, after a few hours, he opened the entrance of the cave to take a look, but again and again he was disappointed, and the blizzard never stopped.
After Lu Jinping was ordered by him, every other day, she would re-fill Lu Jinping's acupoints, Lu Jinping had not learned any exercises to solve acupoints, so in addition to solving them naturally. There's nothing he can do about it. Anyway, the clothes come to reach out for food to open their mouths, and even the urine and urine are served, so there is no need to worry. And this beautiful woman who still has charm has to go to Wushan with him almost every day to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but she does not feel lonely.
Although Yelujue did not show a worried look on the surface, he was actually very anxious in his heart. Because there was not much food prepared in the cave, I thought that I would be able to meet the fifty Khitan warriors soon. Food is enough for them to support to the confluence. However, the heavy snowfall in these days made it impossible for the Khitan warriors to meet them.
If the blizzard continues. They may run out of food, and in the midst of a snowstorm, there is no way to hunt. There's no way to get food, so it's dangerous.
A few days later, when they were running out of food, this day. Jeremiah opens the cave and finds that the blizzard has finally stopped.
Yelujue happily climbed out of the cave and climbed the hill, surrounded by a vast snowfield, but thicker than before. It's also more difficult to walk.
He looked far away, but there was no movement in the vast snowfield, no one or any animal, except for the bright white snow shining under the bright sun. There is only a dead silvery world.
She was very discouraged, but she still stood on the hill and waited for a long time, but there was still no movement, and she could not see any trace of the Khitan warriors. It wasn't until the cold wind made her unable to stay any longer that she returned to the cave in frustration.
Yelujue simply sealed the entrance of the cave a little, the light could shine through the snow, but the wind could not enter, and the originally dark cave finally had some faint light, and people could see the figure of a person dimly.
Lu Jinping's eyes were keen, although the light was dim, he still saw the depressed expression on Yelujue's face, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Didn't your people come?" ”
"They should come, they may encounter a blizzard, it's far from here, and it will take some time to get there now that the snow has stopped."
Lu Jinping hopes that what she said is true, because she has been lying down like this for several days, and she can't move her hands and feet.
He began to understand the truth revealed in the poem "Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away". Therefore, he also hoped that after the Khitan warriors came to join them as soon as possible, they could rush to the Khitan as soon as possible and regain their freedom.
Both of them were expecting the Khitan warriors to arrive sooner, but they then waited for a whole day, and when the remaining food was only enough to last the last day, Yelujue made a decision that he could not wait any longer. They were going to look for those Khitan warriors.
If Lu Jinping was not allowed to walk, Yelu Jue would not have the strength to carry a big man like him to walk a long way to find the warriors, so after she went to Wushan with Lu Jinping again, she almost begged him to tell him her intentions, saying that he should be worthy of her own good to him, because she wanted to untie the acupoints of his legs so that he could walk.
When Lu Jinping heard that he could resume walking freely, he was so happy, how could he not agree.
Since he has already cooked rice with this beautiful woman, how can he marry her daughter again? Therefore, that idea has long been dispelled, Yelu Jue can treat him sincerely with his body, the purpose is just to let him help seize the position of Khitan Khan, eradicate dissidents, and at the same time lead the Khitan to return to the Tang Dynasty, this ending is also what Lu Jinping wants, so he decided to do his best to help her achieve this wish.
Therefore, he swore in front of Yelujue that he would do his best to help her, and would not escape or restrain her after being freed. However, Lu Jinping also asked Ye Luxue to promise one thing, that is, once he found the Khitan warriors, he would write a letter to report that he was safe and send someone to Heisha City to the princess and Xiaoxiao, so that they would not be anxious and worried.
After the two discussed, Yelujue unlocked the acupoint of Lu Jinping's leg.
Lu Jinping couldn't get up for a while, so he slowly knelt up with the help of Yelujue, and with the help of Yelujue, he finally got out of the ice cave and stood in the snow.
The snow was unusually soft, and when you stepped on it, it reached your thighs. Yelujue also grew up in the ice and snow, so he also knew how to use the sun or stars to discern directions.
After finding their general walking direction, Yelujue helped Lu Jinping and walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the vast snowfield.
They only had one day's food left, and in case they couldn't find the Khitan warriors on the road, or if they encountered another snowstorm, Yelujue tied up all the mattresses in the cave and carried them on his back, and carried a large bag.
Lu Jinping said that he would carry it, but Yelujue never agreed. Because, Lu Jinping's acupoints on both hands and the acupoints on his upper body have not been untied, except for his legs being able to move, his upper body can hardly move, if he wants to walk normally, he has to rely on Yelujue to help him, at this time, if he is asked to carry a large bag of large and heavy bedding on his back, I am afraid that he will not be able to maintain his balance at all and will fall directly into the snow, but it is better for Yelujue to come by himself.
However, it was really an extremely painful thing for Yelujue to carry a heavy blanket on his back and support a big man to walk forward in the soft snow.
They trekked all the way, and when the sun set on the horizon, they still did not find the Khitan warriors in the vast snowfield.
Lu Jinping found that Yelujue was so tired that she couldn't even speak, in fact, it was more despair in her heart, so she asked her to stop and rest, recover her strength before moving forward.
Yelujue had no choice, she couldn't walk.
Previously, they trekked in the snowfield, most of the time on horseback, just to make their bodies move, blood flow, and not frostbite, so they walked for a while, but mainly on horses, not too tired, not to mention that they did not have to carry heavy covers, and it was really hard for Yelujue, a pampered lady, to persist for such a long distance.
The two of them laid out the bedding in a leeward place, and then got into the futon, covering their heads, which blocked the biting cold.
Yelujue hugged Lu Jinping, and waited until his body regained his warmth, then he opened a corner of the futon and looked at the night in the vast snowfield.
After the blizzard these days, the night is exceptionally quiet, with stars and stars twinkling in the sky. There is no moon, and the light is a bright star, which makes people feel more poetic and romantic.
Although the night was so beautiful and silent, it seemed that only the two of them were left in the world, but neither of them was in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, because if they could not find the Khitan warriors to meet and food supplies, this vast snowfield might be their burial place. When a person is threatened with death, no amount of interest is aroused by the beautiful scenery.
The rest lasted for a few hours, and when the sky was still bright and the stars were still shining, Yelujue proposed to continue to move forward, because he didn't know if there would be another snowstorm after dawn, so take advantage of the good weather now to continue to search, fifty Khitan warriors. The reflection of the snow is perfectly capable of seeing far away.
So, the two got up, packed up their things and moved on.
Yelujue was still carrying a heavy cover roll on her back, and Lu Jinping proposed to let her untie the acupoints of her hands and hands and carry it by herself, but Yelujue refused.
On the way to continue searching, the two of them had to shout loudly at each stage, hoping to summon those lost Khitan warriors. (To be continued.) )
