The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes are obscuring the vision, and as far as the eye can see, the sky is full of white snowflakes rolled and fluttering by the cold wind, and the fires in the forest have been extinguished by the snow.

The saddest thing is that after setting fire all night, now there is nothing combustible because the gunpowder is exhausted and there is no combustible thing due to heavy snowfall.

Yue Shao'an's face was very ugly, the current environment made him understand that everyone couldn't stay here, the longer the time, the greater the chance of being frozen to death, so although everyone was tired, now was definitely not the time to rest.

Yue Shao'an called Zhang Heng, Liu Tong, and Ma Min to take them with him, and after discussing them, he ordered the three of them to urge everyone to hurry, although the people who sat down were unwilling to get up again, but, as soldiers, they didn't have too many complaints, and it was extremely difficult to get up and go.

Yue Shaoan also got off the horse and walked on foot, in this environment, people's mentality is very fragile, different joys and sorrows, it is easy to lose each other's trust, even if he is the commander, and they are just ordinary sergeants, it is the same truth.

Liu Tong's thin body was obviously inferior to Zhang Heng and Ma Min in the severe cold weather, and his body was very cold, but he still insisted, on the way, there were already several brothers who could not lose weight and fainted from cold and exhaustion, and someone suggested that Yue Shaoan leave them behind, because now everyone is very tired and has been taken away by the ability.

Yue Shao'an had a gloomy face, flatly refused, and only said one sentence, and then blocked all these people's mouths, he said: "If you fall, I will not discard ...... either"

The wind and snow were still blowing rapidly, but the team was getting slower and slower, Yue Shaoan gently stroked the red horse's neck, as if comforting it, because at this time, the red horse's back was already dragging three fainted soldiers.

The red horse rubbed his head on his body, looking very intimate, Yue Shaoan turned around, held the reins and continued to hurry, the number of people who fell gradually increased, and the remaining people were also a little unable to support it because of physical exhaustion.

A night's running, coupled with a lack of water and food, and the cold, have made these soldiers who can fight well lose their previous anger, if it weren't for Yue Shao'an forcing them forward, I'm afraid they would have fallen asleep on the ground now, even if they died, they were fearless.

Zhang Heng and Ma Min have already carried one person on their backs because of their strong physical strength, and even they are already a little reluctant. Yue Shao'an's face was full of gloom, rubbing his cold hands, his mouth was warm with white air, his fair face on weekdays was already red at this time, and he was a little numb, his feet were mechanically moving forward, and the sound of "crunching and ......crunching" snow under his feet was the same.

Looking up at the sky, I couldn't tell what time it was, but I felt that it seemed like I had been walking for a long time.

After another half an hour or so, the people in the line who could walk were no longer able to carry those who had fainted and those who could not walk.

"Commander, we really can't move anymore, you take everyone to go first, let's rest for a while, and then follow later." When a person began to say such a thing, one after another people sat down, and now everyone was holding back their strength, and when someone took the lead, they relaxed, and then they thought about it and walked, and it was difficult.

Yue Shaoan raised his head and looked into the distance, through the woods, there was a hillside not far away, he retracted his gaze and said to everyone: "Brothers, hold on a little longer, let's climb the hillside in front of us and rest." ”

Yue Shao'an's purpose is to let everyone have a more journey, because on the hillside, the trees on it are scarce, and if there are fewer things to block the wind, it will inevitably be even colder.

However, at this time, this kind of words did not work, most of the sergeants could no longer stand up, and leaned their backs against the trunk of the tree and said: "Lord Commander, I really can't walk, just let us rest for a while, you can take them away first!" ”

"Brothers, you can't rest here." Liu Tong's emotions were a little excited, he was now at the end of the crossbow, and his lips trembled a little when he spoke.

Looking at the sergeants sitting in the snow panting, Zhang Heng became angry, there were some things Yue Shaoan didn't say, but he couldn't help it, he spit into the snow, and said angrily: "Are you all fucking still gentlemen?" Who is the Lord Lord for? He doesn't have horses to ride, he walks with us, and so far he hasn't left a single brother, isn't he afraid that you will freeze to death? You're good, you're all fucking hypocritical, who isn't tired now? ”

Zhang Heng's words are indeed more useful than Liu Tong's, being scolded like this, everyone's faces were a little unbearable, but they didn't complain, they just lowered their heads, some people really couldn't walk, and they couldn't stand up after struggling a few times. And some of them could still hold on, so they gritted their teeth and stood up and walked forward again.

Yue Shaoan saw that there were not many people who could walk normally now, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, this sudden heavy snow was the source of death, the sky was going to die, and manpower couldn't resist it after all.

He patted Zhang Heng's shoulder and said, "Brother Zhang, let them rest for a while, it's useless to force him now, so let's take some people to the front to explore the road and see how the situation is, I'm here to accompany them, and I'm chasing you later!" ”

Zhang Heng turned his head to look at the sergeants who couldn't stand up, his heart was also a little gloomy, he nodded, and walked towards the hillside with the people who could still walk, Yue Shaoan looked at their backs, shook his head and sighed lightly: "Brothers, it's okay to rest, but no one can let me fall asleep, and I will continue to hurry after a while." ”

Yue Shao'an gave this order because he understood that now everyone has nothing to keep warm, and the only way to resist the cold is to rely on the heat emitted by their own body, but if people fall asleep, their body consumption and metabolism will slow down, and the same amount of heat will be much less, so it is very likely to freeze to death.

Although the sergeants agreed, some people still couldn't stop closing their eyes after all, and Yue Shaoan had to organize people to wake them up, staring at them all the time, fearing that once someone fell asleep, they would never wake up again.

Time passed bit by bit, and Yue Shao'an, who was slowly leaning on the trunk of the tree, also felt sleepy, and had to stand up and walk back and forth, seeing that some sergeants could no longer call as long as they closed their eyes, his heart was really not a taste, people were brought out by themselves, if they couldn't be brought back......

When Yue Shao'an was melancholy, suddenly, a figure in the distance was running and rolling towards this side, Yue Shao'an was stunned, looked at it, and when the person got closer, he saw that it was Zhang Heng, and he hurriedly went up.

Zhang Heng ran and shouted: "Lord Commander, Lord Commander, we have found someone else, and we have saved ......."

"Huh?" Yue Shao'an stopped suddenly, his heart was a little moved, when he heard this kind of news when he was desperate, he was moved, he ran to Zhang Heng's side excitedly, pulled his arm and said, "Brother Zhang, be specific." ”

Zhang Heng panted and said: "Brother Yue, that's the case, we found smoke in the forest not far in front of us on the hillside, so we took people to look for it, but found that it was two hunters, who were lighting a fire to keep warm, like they inquired, saying that there is a village not far from the front, I asked the brothers to follow them first, leave marks along the way, go to buy some food with the people first, I will come back to inform you." ”

"Brother Zhang, you did a good job." Yue Shaoan patted him on the shoulder with relief, his face was happy, he turned his head, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we are saved, we have found a village ahead, get me up, and sleep when I get to the village." ”

The news was undoubtedly exciting, and the sergeants who couldn't walk, as soon as they heard the news, gritted their teeth and stood up, as if they had suddenly gained strength.

Yue Shaoan beckoned everyone, followed behind Zhang Heng, and tried to speed up the pace and go forward, although the road was still difficult, especially the snow on the hillside in front was very slippery, and it was much more difficult than just now, but with the persistence in people's hearts, it was easy to overcome some difficulties, and with everyone's mutual support, there was no one left behind, which made Yue Shaoan very pleased.

Turning over the hillside, they saw a straight footprint leading straight down, and there was no need to make any deliberate marks in this snow-covered weather, the snow had perfectly outlined the route they had taken.

Following the footprints all the way down, through a forest, a stream appeared in front of Huoran, the stream was frozen, stepping across the stream, a village of more than a dozen families appeared in front of me, and at a house not far from the stream, the sergeant who had come from earlier was talking about something.

Yue Shao'an raised his eyes and heard someone arguing, vaguely there seemed to be a female voice that was particularly familiar, Yue Shao'an's eyes widened suddenly, this voice was too familiar, he couldn't help but get excited, his legs stepping forward couldn't help but tremble, step by step, a short distance, but it seemed so far away......

He walked very slowly, wanting to go over and see the real thing, but he was afraid that what he really saw was disappointed that he didn't know what he wanted, and his heart was extremely entangled......
