When the day dawned, I could see farther. On the vast snowfield, except for the snowflakes rolling in the distance flying in the sky, there was no sign of life, let alone the Khitan warriors they were looking for.

The wind and snow were getting heavier, visibility was starting to decrease, and both of them were in a heavy mood. They were going to look for a shelter from the wind, and by this time, they had not much food on them, at most enough for a meal.

And these days they walk, there are hardly any animals along the way. If you can't hunt in the vast snowfield, even if you want to eat tree bark and dig grass roots, it will become a luxury, and the thick snow hides all signs of life.

Suddenly, in the flying snowflakes, Lu Jinping found a small black dot flying in the air. He looked closely and soon realized that it was a piece of clothing.

Someone's clothes should be someone or a corpse, perhaps, the direction the clothes are floating is the direction they are looking for, even if it is not the person they are looking for, it is a good result to be able to find someone else to get food.

The wind and snow were fast, and the clothes rolled up into the air with only a small black dot, mixed in with snowflakes. If it weren't for Lu Jinping's keen eye, there would be no way to find out. He wanted Yelujue to identify it, but the little black dot had disappeared into the wind and snow in the distance.

He discerned the direction in which the wind was blowing, which was not the same direction as the one they were walking.

Lu Jinping hurriedly said to Yelujue: "Let's go against the wind." ”

"Why the wind? It's going to be hard to walk. And I looked in the direction of the stars last night, and Black Sand City is going in this direction. ”

"Using the stars to discern direction can only be a general direction, and you can't rely too much on the stars. And we're not going to Black Sand City, we need supplies, or we'll starve to death. ”

"Can you find someone by walking against the wind?"

"Just now I saw a small black dot blowing in the wind, which seemed to be human clothes. I was going to tell you, but it was quickly scraped away, and I hope I was not mistaken. If it's really a person's clothes, if you go with the wind, you should be able to find the place where the clothes blew from, and maybe you can find people. ”

Yelujue heard Lu Jinping's words. I couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Okay, let's take a gamble, I believe in your vision, just as I believe in you." ”

The two of them corrected the direction and walked forward against the wind.

However, the wind on the snowfield does not necessarily have a fixed direction, and sometimes it is impossible to tell where the wind is coming from, but there is a general direction.

They walked in the main direction where the wind was coming. It was until late in the evening, when the night began to cover the entire snowfield. Suddenly, Lu Jinping stood still, his eyes staring at the front.

Yelujue was so tired that she was out of breath, and she really wanted to rest for a while, but she felt that Lu Jinping's expression was a little wrong, and she looked up at him and was about to ask what was wrong. Lu Jinping pounced on her and knocked her to the ground. Fell heavily in the soft snow.

Lu Jinping's hands and the acupoints on his body were not untied, so he could only rely on his body to knock the other party down.

Yelu was knocked down by Lu Jinping, and quickly reached out to hug Lu Jinping and said, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Because she saw that Lu Jinping's expression was very solemn, even with fear.

"Wolves, wolves! It's coming this way. Slowly cover us with snow, hoping that the wolves don't notice us. ”

Jerry trembled with fright. She knows that the wolves on the grassland are powerful, and if she encounters them, she will die! Especially if you encounter a pack of wolves on the snowfield, this kind of wolf pack must be hungry for a long time, once it finds prey. It's going to go crazy.

Lu Jinping fell on top of her, fortunately, the snow was very soft, and most of their bodies were already stuck in the snow. Yelujue under him hurriedly shaved the left and right snowflakes over to cover the two of them, and finally left only the head, mouth, nose and eyes.

The wind and snow fluctuated, and the mournful howl of wolves came along the wind, which began to appear as if it were nothing, and gradually became clearer and clearer, and more and more creepy, because it was not one wolf howling, but a lot. One after another, all over the place.

It was clear that the wolves were walking past their hiding place.

When Yelu Jue's eyes saw the wolf's figure, he felt that it was a risk to leave his nostrils and eyes, so he slowly grabbed Lu Jinping and squeezed it into the depths of the snow, causing their heads to sink into the soft snow. The wind and snow quickly blew the snowflakes through the thin layer that covered their heads, and they could breathe through the school floor, but they could block their vision.

Soon, Yelujue was glad that he was alert. Because several wolves had almost walked past them, he could even feel the wolves' feet on them. Heavy gasps of wolves can be heard, as well as the sound of grinding teeth.

Perhaps it was the wind and snow that blew away the smell from them, so that they could not be smelled by the wolves passing by, and escaped this catastrophe.

I don't know how long it took, but both of them shivered a little in the snow, and finally they could not hear the howl of the wolf, only the sound of the whirring wind.

Yelu Jue slowly pushed Lu Jinping's head away, carefully looked up to observe the surrounding scene, and found that the sky had darkened, but the reflection of the white snow was still enough for him to see far away, there was no movement around, and the wolves were gone.

Only then did Yelu Jue push Lu Jinping, who was lying on his stomach, to sit up, and after he stood up and looked around, after being sure that there was indeed no danger, he helped Lu Jinping up: "Fortunately, you found them in time, otherwise I am afraid that the two of us have been eaten by wolves now." ”

Lu Jinping also had palpitations: "Actually, I didn't see it, because the wind and snow covered the wolf's tracks, and at the same time blocked our whereabouts." Otherwise, the wolf's eyes are unusually keen, and they would have spotted us long before we saw them. I had heard the wolf's wail from the sound of the wind coming down, very slightly, but I did not dare to take any chances, I would rather make a mistake than take a risk, or I would have to pay with my life. ”

"I see, thanks to your cleverness, and fortunately the wolves come with the wind, otherwise our smell would have been smelled by them a long time ago, and they would not have escaped."

Lu Jinping's heart sank: "They came with the wind, I hope they didn't eat the person we were looking for." ”

Yelujue was also worried about this, but he was unwilling to add more solemnity to the already heavy atmosphere. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Probably not, we won't be so unlucky." Let's keep walking, and we're just getting away from the wolves. ”

Although it was very cold for Yelujue to lie in the snow, the tension just now made her forget the cold, and after the rest just now, she also recovered some strength, so she helped Lu Jinping to trek forward with difficulty.

The blizzard gradually subsided, but they did not stop, for they were all eager to verify their guesses, first, whether there were really people in front of them, and second, whether they had been eaten by wolves.

This speculation has finally been confirmed.

In the middle of the night, in a snowy field, they saw the bones of people with blood scattered all around, as well as torn clothes, scattered bedding, bags of food, and the bones of horses.

Jeruss stood there, her heart full of sadness. She still rushed up to check them one by one, and finally said to Lu Jinping: "It's them, it's my fifty warriors, all dead." All that was left was white bones, and they were eaten clean by wolves. All of them were eaten, including dry food. Nothing was left for us to eat. ”

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly: "How can the wolves leave something to eat where they pass by?" If we had known this, we should have ambushed one or two of the wolves when we encountered them just now, and maybe we could make dry food. ”

Although he said this, he really wanted to go back to the scene just now, and if he went to hunt a wolf in the pack, he would not dare to kill him, because once he was discovered, it was not the wolf that died, but them.

Yelujue was in a very bad mood, hugged Lu Jinping, her voice was a little choked, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this, I'm afraid that I hurt you, and I'm very uneasy." ”

"Do we two still need to say these kind words? In the same boat. - Aren't you going to unlock my acupuncture now? ”

Yelujue smiled reluctantly and sniffed: "I'm sorry, I'll give you an explanation right away, even if you kill me now, I can't help it, it's my mistake, I hurt you." If you had followed them, you wouldn't have encountered this disaster. ”

While speaking, Ye Lujue quickly untied the acupoints on Lu Jinping's body and hands.

Just after being untied, Lu Jinping still felt numb all over his body, and he couldn't move for a while, but his mood was much lighter.

When his hands finally slowly regained consciousness, he pushed Yelujue away and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Lu Jinping walked with difficulty in the soft snow, checking one by one whether there was dry food left next to the dead bodies on the ground, but nothing was left, Ye Lujue had already looked for it before.

Lu Jinping picked up a pair of wooden sticks on the ground and began to stick around in the snow.

Yelujue followed behind, and when he saw this scene, he suddenly woke up: "Yes, we can hide in the snow, maybe someone is buried in the snow, or there is food buried in the snow and not found by the wolf, I will also come to find it." ”

But it took them about an hour to find nothing in the snow.

It turned out that since the wolves had discovered these fifty warriors, they had no chance to escape, even if they were hiding in the snow, they were smelled by the wolves and dug out, and the reason why Lu Jinping and they were able to avoid the wolves walking by them in the snow was because the wolves did not find them in advance and did not alert them to hiding in the snow.

The two sat on the snow in frustration, staring at each other blankly.

Because the wind and snow had almost stopped, Lu Jinping took out the bamboo flute that summoned the snow sculpture from his arms.

Before this, she had thought of using the bamboo flute to summon the snow sculpture to take them out of trouble, but after her hands were clicked on the acupoints by Yelujue, she couldn't move. Moreover, he didn't want to move the snow sculpture until the last minute. Because at this time, I don't know if Xiaoxiao and they are also in danger, and they are likely to need the help of the snow sculpture more than themselves.

And at this moment, he needs to summon the snow sculpture and at least bring a letter to Xiaoxiao, of course, it would be better if he could hold the two of them to see Xiaoxiao.

However, after he blew the bamboo flute, he waited for a long time, and did not see the familiar snow sculpture in the air. (To be continued.) )
