1560 Polar Light
At that time, there were no watches, and in the endless night, the concept of time became blurred, only endless snow-capped mountains, and the soldiers gradually became restless, but fortunately, these people were the best of the best loyal and brave people, and they were replaced by ordinary soldiers, but I was afraid that they would have gone crazy at this moment, and they didn't know where to flee.
As if a century had passed, the venison was running out, the firewood had been exhausted, the weather was already cold, and the people had to reduce their food intake, making it even more difficult. For the sake of these reindeer following all the way, Wang Baoyu still endured and did not let the soldiers kill.
Wang Baoyu kept cheering everyone on, he had been walking for so long, he should be almost at his destination. In fact, the ground beneath their feet finally changed, and everyone entered a flat area, more like a huge ice sheet. Wang Baoyu ordered to stop and rest for a while, and lit a fire, and the light from the small fire made everyone feel extra warm, and they came over one after another.
The firelight not only illuminated the faces of the people, but also the sky, for the night was not so dark and terrible tonight. Soon, however, it became clear that the great change in the sky was not caused by the fire.
Wang Baoyu looked up and saw that the unchanged night sky was quietly undergoing amazing changes. At first, there were dots, and then they turned into wandering colored lights, green as young leaves, purple as grapes, red as agate, and the pure pink was better than the girl's face.
The strips of colored light blend and separate, not dazzling, these beams of light sometimes gather together, covering the sky with a layer of colorful neon clothes, sometimes wisps, like a brilliant galaxy. Suddenly, the silent sky suddenly made a footstep-like sound, and these beams of light converged and suddenly scattered in all directions, extremely fast and indescribably brilliant.
Everyone was stunned, could it be that this is really a sacred mountain, and the footsteps of the gods are heard from the sky? Xu Shu was also full of nervousness, and said: "A strange omen from the sky, I don't know what it means?" ”
"It's the Northern Lights, it's a natural phenomenon, and you don't have to be afraid. Also, I was very lucky to be able to see this beautiful scenery. Wang Baoyu was afraid that the soldiers would be worried, so he hurriedly shouted loudly.
The soldiers were immersed in this strange beauty, and they didn't hear Wang Baoyu's words at all, until Wang Baoyu shouted several times in succession, and the soldiers woke up, and then let out a cheer.
However, at this moment, the reindeer herd began to go crazy, jumping excitedly, chasing the Northern Lights, and screaming from their mouths.
"Calm them down, old man." Wang Baoyu hurriedly said to the Wind Tiger.
I don't know the situation around me, once there is danger, it will lose these reindeer, the wind tiger hurriedly let out a few huge tiger roars one after another, and finally quieted the reindeer herd, in the end, there are still a few stumbling and falling off the cliff in front of them.
The Northern Lights continued, beautiful, magnificent, the soldiers forgot for a while that they were in the extremely cold continent, everyone's expressions were excited, Wang Baoyu ordered the soldiers not to act rashly, stay in place, to prevent unforeseen situations from happening.
I don't know how long it took, the Northern Lights finally disappeared, and it was still a starry night sky.
When Wang Baoyu and the others woke up, the sky finally dawned, the sun peeked out of the sky, and the surrounding qiē became clearly visible.
Wang Baoyu's expeditionary force was located on a flat mountain peak, with cliffs in front and on both sides, fortunately not lost his mind by the Northern Lights, otherwise falling off the cliff would be doomed in the night.
"I can finally rest assured, there will be no nights in the future." Wang Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, in this kind of place, the night is undoubtedly the greatest torture.
"When the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, how can there be no more night?" Xiao Qiao Hui was a little energetic and asked puzzled.
"Xiao Qiao, you probably won't understand, there is no distinction between southeast and northwest here, these directions are all south." Wang Baoyu explained.
It can be seen from Xiao Qiao's blank eyes that she did not understand Wang Baoyu's words.
"Following Baoyu, it's really different!" Xu Shu sighed.
"Baoyu, we're almost there, right? You see, my face is going to freeze and crack, and I won't be laughed at by Xiang'er when I return to Yiling! Ma Yunlu pointed to his face and said dejectedly.
"Hehe, it's so beautiful, it's like a red apple, I can't wait to take a bite." Wang Baoyu smiled and comforted, and said: "Our destination should not be far away, and when we find what we need, we will return immediately." ”
The expeditionary force finally left the Xuanwu Mountains and entered a relatively flat snowfield along a slightly gentle place, but fortunately a gentle hill not far away, the snow was very shallow by the wind, and the reindeer swarmed up and began to gnaw on the branches with ice ballast.
Wang Baoyu instructed the soldiers to get the reindeer that fell under the cliff in the night, barely ate a full meal, and then ordered to continue walking, even if they found a river, at least they could solve the problem of eating first.
I don't know how long I walked, the sun circled in the sky, and it never set, the soldiers were so hungry that their eyes were red, and there was a big amount of food, and he hugged his mount in a daze and bit his neck, and the reindeer was in pain, and he threw him off with his hooves.
After falling to the ground, the soldier came to his senses, and his comrades joked with him with a wry smile, no matter how hungry he was, he couldn't eat his mount raw.
After crossing a high slope ahead, suddenly, many round igloos appeared in front of me, and I heard the barking of dogs, and after walking for so long, I finally arrived at the place where humans lived.
The soldiers were all excited, but Wang Baoyu immediately ordered that no one should act without permission, let alone steal the food of the locals.
The army rushed downward, and for a while, the dogs barked one after another, and heard the movement outside, and the people in the igloo ran out one after another, most of them were old people, women and children, five or six hundred people.
These people were wrapped in animal skins, not tall, but very strong, with wide faces, thin eyes, large noses, and the appearance of standard barbarians.
As soon as they saw the army on the opposite side, these barbarians all showed frightened expressions, and couldn't help but retreat, and the watchdogs who rushed over were so frightened that they crawled to the ground, and they didn't dare to look up.
How can the barbarians not be afraid, Wang Baoyu is a spotted-fronted tiger under his crotch, two women are riding a white ox, and more than a thousand soldiers behind him are holding weapons in their hands and sitting on the reindeer, but they don't know where they came from, so in the eyes of the barbarians, this is clearly a divine soldier.
