Chapter 21 (II) The line between life and death
The team of more than 160 people, eating tents, pots and kettles, was originally carried by seven horses, but now the horses cannot enter the mountains, and they are thrown away, and each of them has a lot of weight on them, and those horses that were left behind, the old horses were released at will, and they did not know whether they could get out of this snake valley, and the younger ones were slaughtered by the soldiers, carrying some horse meat on their bodies, and using as much as they could.
The person who slaughtered the horse was killed with tears, and the Beidi people took the horse very seriously, more than their own lives, Leng Changxi looked at the appearance of this group of people cutting horse meat and unloading the horse's head, and he also turned his head, he also knew the pain in the hearts of these soldiers.
I'm ready to hit the road, but some people think it's unfair.
"Wait, why do we all have to carry so many things, Mrs. Tuoba is a woman, even if it is, but why is this Tuoba son, who is rumored to have natural divine powers, only carries a broken spear?" After speaking, the soldier even more provocatively threw the horse leg wrapped in broad leaves on his back to Leng Changxi's feet, and said, "Come, Tuoba Gongzi, you also put this horse leg on your back, we have always treated everyone equally, look, everyone at least has two horse legs, I am looking at you weak and protecting you." ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused everyone's laughter, and Leng Changxi, who was thoroughly satirized, only maintained a kind of tranquility, he slowly approached, until he stood in front of the coaxing soldier, his hand was drawn on his chest, and the strap that bound the spear on his back was untied at once, and the spear fell with a bang, and it happened to fall into Leng Changxi's hand, Leng Changxi raised the spear forward without saying a word.
The person who provoked the trouble thought that Leng Changxi was going to fight him alone, everyone had seen the martial arts of this Tuoba Gongzi, and it was terrifying, he stepped back slightly and shouted, "What are you going to do?" I'm just going to say a word to you, you actually want to use force against you. ”
"Reach out." Leng Changxi's cold words made this troublemaker dare not disobey, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and wanted to ask why, snapped, Leng Changxi let go of his hand, and the spear fell straight into the hands of the trouble-stirring soldier, the soldier was slammed by the weight of the spear, and the whole person was almost dragged down by the weight of the spear.
The people next to him immediately came up to help, and immediately felt that this spear was terrifyingly heavy, as if it weighed a thousand catties, I really don't know how this man who is not as thick as the Beidi warriors, and how the tall Tuoba prince who is not as strong as the Beidi man dances such a heavy weapon.
"If you think I have less on my back, you can exchange it with me, and I will exchange this spear for your two horse legs, how about it?"
This spear is heavier than ten horse legs, the troublemaker was speechless, but it was not easy to pull down his face and admit his mistake, Leng Changxi did not pursue it, he glanced at the person present, picked up the spear on the ground, turned around and left.
"This Tuoba boy is not simple." Someone sighed quietly.
"Grandma's is not simple." The troublesome soldier patted his ass and stood up, he was the leader of the group of people who came from the palace, thinking that he was sent by the Great Khan of Beidi, even if the four princes had to give them some face, the four princes didn't give them any money and didn't give them any cheapness before, and even if it was, now an inexplicable son with no official title and no merit can humiliate him like this, he can't accept it;
"Just watch, Lao Tzu must snatch the broken gun in the hand of the surnamed Tuoba."
A long line of troops marched to the narrow canyon, the wet and cold wind blew from the canyon, carrying moist water vapor, Wan Yansu took a deep breath, and ordered the soldiers to move forward at full speed and pass through this narrow line of sky as soon as possible.
A line of heaven is worthy of a line of sky, the narrowest place only allows one person to pass, because the mountain wall is tall, covering the sky and the sun, the inside is extremely dark, to the halfway, everyone has to light a torch to barely move forward, this does not matter, this is a light around, everyone can see clearly on this mountain wall, there are still a smooth black flesh worms, each has an index finger as long.
"Oh my God, what is this?" There is a drought in North Dido, and many people have never seen a reptile in this humid place in their lives.
"Everyone, don't touch the rock wall, it's a leech."
Leeches are full of bloodsucking insects, generally half a finger-long leech can bulge as big as a white-faced steamed bun after sucking blood, Beidi soldiers have never seen this, and their frightened eyes are difficult to hide.
"Ah, I'm sucked." One of the soldiers shouted, he shouted, and retreated in a panic, no matter how Leng Changxi comforted him, let him calm down for a while, he couldn't do it, the soldier slapped a leech that fell on his neck, who knew that the leech's grip was amazing, while attaching to the person's neck, while desperately sucking blood, looking at it and bulging, the soldier struggled in a hurry, but slammed into the rock wall, the leech that was lying quietly on the rock wall was instantly activated, and squirmed towards the soldier's exposed skinIn a short time, the soldier's whole body was crawling with leeches, and some of the leeches drilled directly into his helmet and clothes.
The soldier writhed in pain, but no one next to him dared to step forward to help him, and even hid far away, and at the same time, a scream suddenly came from the volley, which sounded a little familiar, it should be the voice of the three or four people who were going to go back in advance and retreat, the sound came from the top of the cliff.
Qin Yunuan secretly screamed in her heart, it seemed that these four people still didn't follow her advice, and still took a shortcut.
Sure enough, there was a bang, a loud bang came, and I saw three or four armored warriors in the sky, and there was no doubt that it was those four people.
It's just that this line is wide in the sky and narrow at the bottom, and these four people are generally stuck in the middle of the rock wall when they fall, and there is a half-truncated bridge hanging at the top of the rock wall, it seems that these four people are lazy to see that there is a broken bridge, and they didn't listen to Qin Yunuan's words at all.
The four of them hung in the air, fell from such a high place, and smashed down on this abrupt rock, probably half their lives, and immediately, the leeches on the rock wall surrounded the bodies of these four people, greedily enjoying this rare feast.
Leng Changxi frowned slightly and shouted, "Everyone, go full speed." ”
Before the words fell, the soldiers who had just been wrapped in leeches had already been sucked dry of blood by leeches, and only a pair of white bones were left in the empty armor, almost instantaneously.
The soldiers behind were afraid.
"Afraid of what?" Leng Changxi pointed to the armor and white bones on the ground, "Step on it." ”
"He's our brother."
"Brother?" Leng Changxi sneered, "Since it's your brother, did one of you rush to save him when he had an accident just now?" ”
At that time, there happened to be a leech that suddenly fell off the rock wall, and it was about to fall on Qin Yunuan's body, Leng Changxi made a move, and quickly cut the leech in two in the air with a short dagger, and then said sharply: "If you don't want to become a white bone like him, go full speed;
。 ”
The team finally moved slowly, and everyone shivered as they heard the sound of their riding boots stepping on their brothers' bones, but on the other hand, they were very glad that they were not the ones who were besieged by leeches.
"Acha, I think this surname is not simple, did you see him just now? I barely saw him pull out the dagger, and the soft worm had already been cut in half by him. ”
This person named Atcha is the Great Khan who vowed to take away the spear in Leng Changxi's hand before, his eyes reveal a gloomy owl, and he can't hide it, the soldier who was besieged by leeches just now was pushed out by him, he couldn't get used to that person for a long time, and he had long wanted to solve him, he Atcha has never had a goal that he can't achieve, and he will not give in the slightest to an opponent like Leng Changxi.
"Just watch, when we go out and set up camp, I will not only snatch his spear, but I will also make him worse than death, and the person who dares to shout in front of Lao Tzu is not yet born."
The troops cautiously walked out of the first line of sky, Xu has just experienced death, everyone is very quiet, it is not early, find an open place to camp, because all the tents are abandoned outside the first line of sky, can only barely spend the night in the open air, Qin Yunuan found a remote place, spread out the few maps to see, only found the first and fourth, there are still two chapters of maps that cannot be confirmed in order, and now, the first map is almost finished, it will be a difficult choice, her choice, The fate of more than one hundred and sixty people will be decided.
Leng Changxi saw his little hedgehog from a distance with a sad face, took a bowl of gruel, and went over alone, Qin Yunuan was just when he looked carefully, and suddenly saw a figure approaching, and subconsciously put on the white veil hanging around his neck, for most people, she was just a lady Tuoba with bad eyes, not a girl Qin San who was proficient in strategy.
"It's me." Leng Changxi called softly, put down the gruel in his hand, Leng Changxi hugged Qin Yunuan into his arms, and gently kissed Qin Yunuan's forehead, with wet moisture and tenderness, which made Qin Yunuan intoxicated at once, obviously he was already an old husband and wife, every time he faced him, Qin Yunuan was still like a little girl who had just fallen in love.
"What are you thinking?"
"Map," Qin Yunuan took the gruel, the hot gruel had been blown cold by Leng Changxi, and there were several pieces of tender horse meat hidden in it, Qin Yunuan looked at the map while drawing a circle on Leng Changxi's chest with his fingers, "I don't know what to do next." ”
"There's no hurry." Leng Changxi pinched Qin Yunuan's still tender little face, but Qin Yunuan has lost a lot of weight recently, and she is not as fleshy as in the past, "The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, we still have a long time to think about it slowly." ”
Qin Yunuan chuckled: "When did you become so open-minded." ”
Leng Changxi moved closer, and the hot air sprayed on Qin Yunuan's sensitive place: "Probably because with you, everything is not so terrible." ”
The two of them were grinding their ears and temples, but suddenly a scream came from the other end of the campfire: "Oh no, this porridge is poisonous." ”
Immediately afterwards, I saw that Acha, who had secretly promised to make Leng Changxi look good in the afternoon, fell to the ground, with a half-drunk porridge bowl in his hand, foaming at the mouth, unconscious.
