They walked all day, and did not see a single figure. There are only towering trees. When I got to the back, there was no road. It is only possible to walk through the woods.

Before dark, Leng Yi found a shelter and pitched a tent for the night. Leng Yi used to use holidays to go out for rock climbing and needed to camp in the wild. So I'm used to it, but although Zhuo Qiaoniang is a child from the countryside, she has never spent time in the wild, so she is very frightened. Holding her husband, she refused to let go.

The night passed peacefully, without encountering any thrills, and Zhuo Qiaoniang felt a little relieved.

After walking for another whole day, at last, in the evening, they reached the foot of the Devil's Axe Cliff.

This is really a dangerous cliff that can only be formed by a ghostly craft. The entire mountain wall is almost vertical, and in many places, it even protrudes. After Leng Yi observed, he was very excited, like a martial idiot meeting a strong opponent. The muscles of the whole body tensed involuntarily.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was nervous and scared, and said: "Official, we ......, do we really want to ......, do we want to climb up from here?" ”

"Yes! Tomorrow morning, we will start climbing. Don't worry, I'm in front, hanging you all the way, you hardly need to climb by yourself, of course, in the easier place, I'll let you climb a little and feel it. ”

"Okay then......" Now that the matter is over, Zhuo Qiaoniang can only bite the bullet.

When she went up to a high place, she inadvertently looked back, only to see that the clouds and mist were dazzling, and she was suddenly frightened, clutching the gap in the cliff, and trembling all over: "The official ......"

Leng Yi fixed another piper, turned his head to look at Zhuo Qiaoniang, and said, "You let go of your hand, I'll pull you up!" ”

This action had been repeated many times by Zhuo Qiaoniang before, because she was just looking up at the time, not looking down, so she didn't feel too scared, so she went up more easily according to Leng Yi's request. However, this time, after looking at the bottom of the cliff, she was really scared, so she clung to the crack in the rock, but did not let go, closed her eyes, and cried whining.

At this moment, I felt a breeze around me, and Leng Yi's gentle voice came from my ears: "Qiao Niang, don't be afraid, I'm here!" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang slowly opened her eyes and saw Leng Yi's resolute face, he was already standing beside her, and one hand firmly grasped her arm.

"Official...... Zhuo Qiaoniang cried aggrievedly, and was a little embarrassed by her fear.

Leng Yi said: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, I've already caught you, you can let go, just like me!" Remember, don't look down. ”

"Hmm!" Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded, even if she was asked to look down now, she wouldn't dare. She learned Leng Yi's posture, supported the cliff with both feet, let go of one hand, grabbed the rope, and at the same time, grabbed the rope with the other hand, and smiled at Leng Yi reluctantly.

Leng Yi slowly let go of her arm and said, "I'll go up first, and then pull you up, you just follow the movements I taught you, just go up, don't worry about anything else." Rest assured, you have two ropes on you, each of which is enough to support your weight and keep you safe. It's going to be fine. ”

When these words started climbing, Leng Yi had already told her. However, when I heard it again at this time, I felt extraordinarily down-to-earth. Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded and said, "The concubine knows, the officials go up!" ”

Leng Yi climbed up very flexibly, and then pulled the rope and pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang up.

In this way, at noon, Zhuo Qiaoniang finally climbed to the top of the Ghost Axe Cliff.

She sat on the cliff with her whole body weak, supported the ground with both hands, looking at the mountains at her feet, there was an indescribable sense of ease, it was a feeling of fluttering immortals.

Leng Yi sat beside her, looked at her, and said, "How is it?" ”

"It's fun!" Zhuo Qiaoniang said sincerely, turned her head, and looked at him, "The concubine doesn't know yet, officials can climb this kind of cliff!" Is it because the officials went up the mountain to chop wood when they were young, and often climbed the cliffs, and practiced? ”

"yes!" Leng Yi said casually: "When I was naughty, I liked to climb the cliff, once, I saw those people who went up the mountain to collect medicine, climbed the cliff like this with ropes, and learned from them." If you learn it, you can practice it yourself, in fact, there is nothing remarkable, today, don't you know? ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "That's what you pulled the concubine up, if the concubine climbs by herself, she won't be able to climb up if she is killed." ”

"Don't worry, when we have time in the future, we often come to rock climbing, and you will learn it quickly."

"I still like the officials to pull me up! Hee-hee. Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled mischievously.

Leng Yi looked distressed, hugged her and kissed her face covered with beads of sweat.

After resting for a while, Zhuo Qiaoniang said, "Shall we still go down from here?" ”

"No, let's not turn back, take a detour, go down the gentle slope. After a day's work, let's climb again. ”

"Okay!" Zhuo Qiaoniang has become interested in rock climbing, anyway, with her husband's protection, she has a bottom in her heart. He stood up with a smile, looked at the sky, and said, "Then let's go, it's overcast over there, I'm afraid it's going to snow!" ”

"It's spring, and even if it is going to fall, it won't be too big." Leng Yi said.

This time, Leng Yi guessed wrong, and when they were looking for a way down the mountain, heavy snow began to fall from the sky, and soon, the ground was completely white. Between the trees, there was already a lot of residual snow, and with this heavy snowfall, their actions were even more difficult.

Walking to the back, the snow had blocked the view. They couldn't find their way down the mountain.

Zhuo Qiaoniang nervously hugged Leng Yi's arm, she remembered the scene before the Chinese New Year, when they carried gold on their backs and encountered a snowstorm on the mountain road. That time was fine, because at least they were on the path leading to Fucheng, and this time, they were completely walking in the vast primeval forest, with no road at all and no people.

Leng Yi felt that Zhuo Qiaoniang was shivering from the cold, he knew that he couldn't go on like this, he had to find a place to shelter from the wind, and wait for the wind and snow to pass before going down the mountain. Anyway, they came out to hide from the assassins, and they were not in a hurry to go back.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up, and an inexplicable fear made his muscles tense all over his body. He immediately stood still, and felt that the horror was coming from behind, and he turned sharply, and saw a pair of green eyes staring at them coldly in the dim wind and snow. Then, as those eyes moved forward, a snow-white wolf appeared in front of them.

Leng Yi pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang down, stared at the wolf, and raised his hand to open the mechanism of the flying knife box on the upper arm of his left hand. The wolf that was aligned.

Then, however, he immediately spotted two more wolves, each on their left and right.

In this way, the three wolves became a semi-encirclement and surrounded them.

Leng Yi put down his arm instead, and at this time, he needed to feel the movements of the three wolves with his heart, so as to determine how to make a move. Most importantly, he wants to see if there are any other wolves.

The three Langs moved forward slowly, looking absent-minded. In fact, they are choosing the best time to attack.

Although Zhuo Qiaoniang was already frightened and just wanted to hold Leng Yi, she still controlled herself, let go of Leng Yi's hand, and didn't even grab his clothes, and she also held a pair of pink fists tightly and posed in a desperate posture. However, his eyes were tightly closed in extreme fear.

Leng Yi deliberately turned his head to stare at the hungry wolf on the left, leaving his back to the one on the right. Sure enough, the wolf on the right arched his front foot, crossed up, opened his big mouth, and bit at the back of Leng Yi's neck!

Leng Yi turned around suddenly, whoosh! A throwing knife shot out and shot through the wolf's mouth, piercing the back of the head!

The wolf's corpse slammed into Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang, knocking Zhuo Qiaoniang down, but Leng Yi took advantage of the situation to turn around and shoot another flying knife at the wolf that took the opportunity to sneak attack from the other side, and shot the flying knife into its head before the wolf had time to take off!

The wolf in front of it was clearly stunned, and it stood stunned, not knowing for a moment whether to jump and attack, or run away.

At that moment, I heard the sound of a bowstring, and a sharp arrow flew in, hitting the wolf in the abdomen!

The wolf wailed, turned and ran, and then another arrow flew and struck the wolf in the chest. The wolf ran a few steps and fell to the ground and died.

There are no people in this deep mountain and dense forest, how can there be hunters?

Leng Yi vigilantly pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang behind him and looked at the direction where the bow and arrow were fired.

After a while, I saw two people rushing out of the wind and snow, a big man with a black face and a strong woman, both holding bows and arrows in their hands, looking at them with vigilant eyes, and the woman said, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Leng Yi said: "We went up the mountain to collect the five spirit fat medicines, and when we encountered wind and snow, we couldn't go down the cliff to collect the medicine. We met a wolf, and you shot the wolf to save us, right? Thank you very much! ”

The black-faced man ignored Leng Yi, walked to the dead wolf, pulled out the arrow shaft, walked in front of the other two wolves, squatted down, saw the flying knife on the dead wolf's head, couldn't help but gasp, turned to look at Leng Yi, his eyes were already full of awe: "This ......, this flying knife, yes, was shot by Your Excellency?" ”

Leng Yi smiled, walked over and easily pulled out the two flying knives, and said, "You are hunters nearby?" ”

"Yes......, yes! Hey hey"

"That's not right!" Leng Yi said: "I heard that there are no people in a radius of 100 miles around here. ”

"We, we're here to hunt too, and we're far away."

"Where to stay?"

The black-faced man turned around and pointed to the distance: "It's far away, more than a hundred miles away." ”

Leng Yi didn't ask any more questions, and said, "This heavy snow is very strong, I'm afraid that I will be blocked on the mountain." ”

The woman came and said, "We often hunt here, and there is a cave in front of us, so if you don't dislike it, come with us there to take shelter from the snow." ”

"Good! Thanks a lot! ――What do you call them? ”

The black-faced man said: "My surname is He, because my face is black, people call me He Blackface." This is my mother's son, surnamed Lu. He is older than you, so it's better to call him Sister-in-law Lu. What about the two of you? ”

Leng Yi said: "My surname is Leng, this is my wife, for the convenience of the road, the woman is dressed as a man." ”

"Oh, Brother Leng! Let's go! ”
