Chapter 302: The Calmest Man

The fifth arrow hit a nearby pine tree.

The other arrows had been shot in a low clearing or in a tree, and it was impossible to go down and pull it out, but the fifth arrow was only a few paces away, and although the terrain was a little steep, she decided to go down and pull it out of the tree. She placed her bow and arrows on the edge of the rock, and walked down.

Just as she had just taken two steps, she suddenly stepped on the air, and the person suddenly fell down the mountain.

What she thought was a solid pavement turned out to be nothing more than a loose piece of rubble that had broken away from the rock mass hidden by snow.

The mountain was covered with snow, and the slope was steep, and she felt like her body was sliding down the slope.

Fortunately, the snow that fell last night was enough for ten fingers, otherwise I am afraid that I will be rubbed by the gravel or dead branches on the hillside today.

Fortunately, when she slid twenty feet away, a tree blocked her, and she did not continue to roll.

Just as she was relieved, she spotted him next to her.

Could it be that after he stumbled and fell down the hill, he also slid down the mountain with him?

Did he voluntarily descend down the mountain?

"Grab my hand and walk slowly, one step at a time." He said.

She held out her hand to him, and he took her fair, slender hand tightly, and then stepped on the root of the next tree with each step, and led her slowly down.

The mountain road is extremely steep, and the mountain is full of snow, and if one is not careful, the two of them may fall down the mountain and be broken to pieces.

At this point, she greatly regretted the risky move she had just made, exposing herself and him to such a dangerous situation.

It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world.

Every step they take, they not only have to look at the step in front of them, but also see if there are any trees in other places below that they can borrow, and they have to look at more than 20 steps before they dare to take the next step.

Because if the trees are sparse somewhere and there are no trees to draw on, then it is certain that the two of them will be in great danger.

So, when they went down, they didn't go down a straight route, but zigzag back and forth, painstakingly looking for a place where the trees were close.

In this way, the time to go down is greatly extended.

The distance is also several times longer than it should be.

Fortunately, they finally made it to the bottom of the mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he let go of her hand.

Now they are at the foot of the south side of the mountain, and the entrance to the mountain is on the north side, and if you want to go around the whole mountain and return to the north entrance, you will have to walk for at least a day.

To get back to the north entrance, you have to go west and then north, at least ten miles.

The foot of the mountain is also not easy to walk, there are many bushes. Sometimes, as you walk, you will encounter situations where you have to take a detour, such as a small lake suddenly appearing, or a mountain ditch that cuts off their direction.

Sometimes it takes half an hour to walk around.

By evening, they had walked less than a third of the way.

After walking all afternoon, I met only two houses, and there were only a few cottages in each place.

Naturally, all the cottages were uninhabited because the people had left.

On the day after she arrived with her troops, almost all the villagers in the vicinity had left.

Occasionally, I see elderly people with limited mobility.

"Looks like we're going to have to find a place to live." She said.

"Let's go a little further and see if there's anybody." He said.

The two walked more than a mile forward and saw several families on the side of the narrow mountain road.

"There are a few families here, let's go and have a look." She said.

When the two arrived at the tiny village, they found only one house that had not been closed.

It was a family that had nothing in their home. The courtyard is low and dilapidated, and there is only one bed and one quilt in total.

Anyway, you can sleep with a bed and a quilt.

However, there is a difference between men and women.

It's not right to sleep in the same bed with him.

After stooping down and laying out the quilt on the bed, she got up and went to the courtyard.

At this time, he was standing in the courtyard, not knowing what to look at.

When she came up behind him, she said, "You love me, don't you?" ”

If he didn't love her, why would he risk his life to save her?

He didn't answer her, and he didn't turn around.

"I know you love me." She said still behind him.

"Maybe you're thinking too much." Here is his answer.

"Then why save me? You should know that you almost died today. ”

Such a steep mountain, he rolled down with her without saying a word, and really didn't think about his own danger?

After she finished speaking, she heard him say, "If it were anyone else, he would do the same as a brother." He still didn't turn around.

"But if you don't love me, why don't you dare to look at me?" As she spoke, she walked from behind him to in front of him.

Her eyes were fixed on him, the first time she had seen him so closely.

She wished he could make eye contact with her, even if it was a glance.

He avoided her gaze, his eyes looked at a tree in the yard, and he didn't reply to what she had just said.

She took his silence as acquiescence.

She approached him and said, "Look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me." Then I believe it. ”

As she spoke, she looked him in the eye so closely.

She was originally quite reserved woman, but she understood that maybe her life was not long, and now Prince Xiao's troops were on the way, and no one knew what would happen in a few days.

Why is she still reserved?

He lowered his head, glanced at her, then turned his gaze away, and said, "I really don't love you." ”

"But when you looked at me just now, you had love for me written in your eyes." After saying that, she looked at his stunned face and smiled.

She didn't understand that she could still laugh at what was supposed to be a depressed, heavy moment.

As if the war was still incomparably far away, as if the blood feud had already been avenged.

Now, she wants to let go of the knots in her heart, and she just wants this moment of relaxation.

He stopped talking.

"You acquiesced?" She asked, staring at his face.

He still didn't speak.

"You give me another look." Seeing through his secret, to her displeasure, she teased him.

He didn't look at her, but was silent and didn't respond to her.

"From today onwards, your people are mine." She smiled again.

As if he suddenly turned around, he suddenly left her side, and said in a calm tone: "Sister Jing, I think you really misunderstood. As he spoke, he walked back into the room.

"Then you tell me, why are your eyes so bright when you look at me? So warm? Aren't you the calmest and most cold-blooded person? She asked, looking at his back.
