Chapter 139: "Revisiting the Old Place"
We blew up our house in a panic, and after escaping from the courtyard of the ancient family in the capital, we settled in an old house of the ancient lady Song Tingrong's mother's family.
Considering that the pursuers behind us might "descend from heaven" at any time, we only rested in the old house for a moment before leaving the courtyard gate, but what unfolded in front of us was a "dead village" with collapsed houses and barren grass, and behind the incomplete houses, the outline of the mountains loomed in the darkness.
"I think...... We'll be here for a little longer, and we'll be a bunch of snowmen. Sun Zhongjing sneezed loudly after speaking.
"Blame me, blame me, I didn't expect to come here for many years, the village is deserted, it seems that it is impossible to find a home to settle down." Song Tingrong looked annoyed or something.
"The world is unpredictable, and there is no way to do it." Chen Shu's gaze fell on the darkness in the distance: "It seems that this snow will not end overnight, or go up the mountain to find a cave to hide." ”
"This, this, this...... Braving the snow to go up the mountain? Sun Zhongjing's face turned green with fright, and we looked calm.
"The mountains in the capital are far less steep than Bailong Mountain, boy, don't say anything else, just ask these girls, which one hasn't been in the mountains on a snowy day in winter?"
Xin Yi said: "Just last year, the winter snow came early, and I braved the snow to dig herbs in Bailong Mountain. ”
Achu said: "I went to the pond in the mountains to dig ice and catch fish. ”
I said, "I was so confused that I didn't stock up on firewood in advance, so I had to go up the mountain to collect firewood." ”
Sun Zhongjing looked at the three of us with a frightened expression: "Hidden deeply, you guys." ”
"So don't worry, we can still protect you, and I'm very familiar with this mountain." The corners of Chen Xian's mouth hooked coldly, "This is Hanwu Mountain, eldest sister, why don't we go to the Moon Cave and revisit." ”
Chen Ci saw that his mother-in-law's eyes were cold, and hurriedly said: "Mother, then let's take the children up the mountain to find a hole to hide, if the snow is heavier, it will be really difficult to enter the mountain." ”
Chen Xian didn't answer, only nodded lightly.
So I, Xin Yi, Sun Zhongjing and Song Tingrong, who didn't know martial arts, were taken by the ancestors of the Chen family, who were good at light skills, and galloped towards Hanwu Mountain.
Of course, at this time, the wind was high and the snow was strong, so we could not go up to the moon cave on the top of the mountain, so we found a leeward cave in the mountain, and took branches and dead grass to cover the entrance of the cave, and picked up some dry branches, and made a fire with a fire to prevent wild beasts, so that we could temporarily use it for shelter.
Although Sun Zhongjing also wanted to participate in the construction of the "safe haven", he really had no experience, so he could only be the shopkeeper with an embarrassed smile throughout the whole process, while sighing at the smooth flow of our actions.
"Boy, don't be so helpless, like a shy little daughter-in-law." Seeing this, Chen Shu made a joke.
"Ahem...... No matter how you say it, you are also a man, all these heavy work has been done by you, and I really can't pull this face......" Sun Zhongjing blushed for the first time in history.
"What's this, you move to Bailong Mountain and live here for two months, maybe you can be more skilled than any of us." I laughed.
A year ago, I was a modern person who entered the mountains as if he had walked into another world, and after wandering around for a long time, I found that I was so panicked that I wanted to spend the night in the mountains, but I was so frightened by the howling night wind that I couldn't cry, and I could only pull weeds while having weak legs.
In just a month, it became commonplace for me to go into the mountains, and now I am used to all this.
Sun Zhongjing, who wanted to prove himself, volunteered to keep vigil in the suspicious eyes of me, Achu and Xin Yi, who had been deeply affected, and sat by the fire for twelve minutes.
"Sun family boy, your task is very simple, just watch the fire, don't let it go out." Chen Xian told Sun Zhongjing, "But this matter is very important, this day is in the mountains, if the fire is extinguished, it will really kill people." ”
After roasting around the fire for a while, the frozen body gradually recovered, and sleepiness and fatigue came up like a tidal wave.
The sound of yawning filled the cavern as if it were contagious, and everyone fell asleep next to each other.
Then Chen Yi ran into my dream at some point, wearing the dress I gave him with a cypress tree embroidered on his left shoulder, smiling gently.
He stretched out his hand and said to me, "Ran'er, don't make trouble, come back quickly." ”
I subconsciously ran towards him, but after running two steps, a sudden snowstorm swept over, my whole body was cold, and the voice of calling his name was shattered by the wind, and even Chen Yi's eyebrows and eyes couldn't be seen clearly.
I woke up from the cold and looked at the few tenacious sparks left in the fire and Sun Zhongjing, who was dozing off and about to fall into the fire, and I was angry for a while, and gave him a vicious blow.
Ah Chu and Xin Yi also woke up at about the same time, and the three of them looked at Sun Zhongjing angrily.
Sun Zhongjing was just about to beg for mercy, and suddenly discovered a more important question: "Wait, Chen Anchu, where are your mothers?" ”
As soon as these words came out, we all turned around and searched the cave, only to find that there were only four of us left.
"My God, it can't be that the pursuers came and took people away......" Sun Zhongjing's face turned white.
"If the chasing soldiers don't move, a few of us can't beat anyone, go and attack Chen Shu's grandmother who can't beat anyone, unless they break their own brains first." I said.
As soon as these words came out, the three of Achu couldn't help laughing.
The cave was cold, and everyone woke up without the sleepiness to go back to sleep. At this time, there was a faint light penetrating through the entrance of the cave, I approached Achu and carefully removed the obscuration, so the cave was a little brighter, Xin Yi borrowed the light to put away the package left in the cave, and threw it to Sun Zhongjing who couldn't hold it, and he also stepped forward.
The snow is beginning to clear, the sky is getting brighter, the silver-covered Hanwu Mountain hits straight into the eyes, the eyes of the people with pure white thorns are a little painful, but the winter night is long, and before the sunrise, everything around is a little gray.
There was nothing in the mountains, and we didn't want to bother collecting firewood to make hot water, so we stole and washed our mouths with snow.
Ah Chu and Xin Yi and I tied the loose long hair with a hairband again, and I felt much lighter and more flexible for a while.
The only bad thing is that the dry food brought out is that the taste becomes really flattering in the cold and freezing, and the bite in the mouth is like mixed with ice ballast.
I casually looked around while eating breakfast, and noticed a lot of messy footprints in the snow, looking at the sole pattern and size of the shoe, there should be no doubt that Chen Shu and others. The path of the footprints extends from the mouth of the cave and leads upwards to the depths of the Misty Mountains.
I remembered the moon catching cave on the high part of the mountain that I was lifted last night, and I guessed that they had gone up the mountain.
Ah Chu, Xin Yi and Sun Zhongjing also thought of it together, everyone stayed in the cave without incident, and Ah Chu was also worried about the situation of his mother and grandmother, so we unanimously decided to follow the footprints to find it.
The wind and snow have stopped, and in the harsh winter season, there are no fierce beasts in the mountains, except for the road is a little slippery due to the snow, and we can walk down all the way unimpeded.
