The second prince said: "The mountain stream is very long, there are many strange rocks in the stream, and there is a river that I don't know where it flows from and where it is going. The river is turbulent and the mountain stream is narrow, so the stream is perennially filled with water vapor, and the stones are extremely slippery. And the temperature is unusually low, ordinary people will freeze their hands and feet when they walk on a cup of tea in the mountain stream, and if they want to go out hard, they will directly freeze their limbs and fall to the ground, and finally freeze to death in it. At noon, the sun reached halfway up the mountain stream, and the temperature was a little higher, and it took us more than an hour to pass at full speed. ”

After the second prince finished speaking, he glanced at the team behind him again and said, "These soldiers and horses of ours will be divided into three days before they can walk over. Because the first person in front can walk in time for noon, and the person behind is afraid that it will be too late to walk halfway. Therefore, it is necessary to do it in batches. ”

Su Jinyao listened to what the second prince said really interestingly, and there was a vague expectation in her heart. She had even been to Bermuda, but as the second prince said, such a mysterious place should be the first time she had encountered it.

However, Su Jinyao is not a scientist, and she is not interested in studying whether it is convective weather or alpine climate here, but she just thinks that this trip is not so lonely, and it is good.

According to the original plan, the army camped ten miles outside the mountain stream. Although there is still a long distance, you can already see the two high mountains in front of you, which is quite imposing.

And the second prince explained that these two mountains are like the gateway of Qingfan, and after entering from here, he really embarks on the journey of Qingfan.

Su Jinyao asked the second prince if she could take Ah Ye to the vicinity of the mountain stream to have a look.

The second prince didn't stop it, but said, "Don't go in, come back when you get to the mountain pass." The later it gets, the colder it gets. The woman is cold and can't stay too long. ”

Su Jinyao didn't expect him to agree so happily, and asked him with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?" ”

The second prince was taking things from his horse, and he really didn't look like a pampered second prince at this time, and he even knew what he was doing.

He put down the things in his hand, glanced at Su Jinyao, and said, "You are the disciple of the divine doctor I invited, not the prisoner I want to tie up." If you want to go, it's okay to go, but I'm worried that you (shēn) can't stand it. It's going to be dark soon, and it's really cold. ”

The words of the second prince made Su Jinyao's heart feel relieved, and she actually felt that this trip to Qingfan was quite interesting. Maybe it's a good choice if it's a trip.

Perhaps, if she really encounters a particularly interesting place, she can also consider visiting Gu Xuebin again. Just think of her as the first to explore the way.

Su Jinyao was very strange about what would happen to Ah Ye when she passed through the Mysterious Forest, but she didn't expect that the sixth sense of animals was much higher than that of humans, so when she passed through the Mysterious Forest, it actually followed Su Jinyao all the way with her eyes tied.

Ah Ye followed the team all the way, and he was already a little impatient. Now that Su Jinyao is going to take it with her again, she naturally follows Su Jinyao (shēn) upside down, as if she was happy.

A road leads straight to the stream between the two high mountains, and from a distance the tips of the two mountains are separated, but when you get closer, you realize that it looks like a mountain splitting in the middle.

In other words, this is like an upside-down "silver line". A narrow path that is wide above and narrow below. But the higher the mountain wall goes, the farther it goes, and when you reach the top of the mountain, it becomes two mountains completely.

There was still a mile or so away, and Su Jinyao felt a cold wind blowing out of the mountain stream. Especially because of the cracks, which make the wind more violent.

Before she came to the foot of the mountain, Su Jinyao's cheeks were wooden, and the tip of her nose was red. Although I haven't reached the condition of numbness in my hands and feet, I can't help but shiver.

It seems that the second prince didn't scare her, if you want to walk into such a place, it is really cold and biting.

And the second prince has repeatedly emphasized that at noon, the temperature can only pass when the temperature is highest, so the time is not right now, and it really can't stay for a long time.

Ah Ye has a pure fur coat. However, the cold wind blowing from the mountain stream blew all its black hairs up, making it look unhappy.

It seems that the excessively harsh climate is uncomfortable for both humans and animals.

There really wasn't anything to see now, so Su Jinyao had no choice but to go back. Halfway through, I ran into the second prince who strode over.

Su Jinyao saw him from a distance, and her heart was panicked, and she felt like she was being monitored. Since he didn't worry about coming out by himself, why was he so generous as he just said?

Therefore, Su Jin Yaosuo (xìng) couldn't stand still, and just watched the second prince walk towards her here.

When I got closer, I found that the second prince was carrying two burdens, one large and one small.

"What are you doing here? Still don't trust me? Su Jinyao's tone was not very good, and she didn't bother to look at him again after speaking.

The second prince handed the slightly smaller burden in his hand to Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, don't get me wrong, I sent this to you." ”

"What is it?" Su Jinyao took it casually and touched it with her hand, it felt very soft, like the fur of something?

Su Jinyao looked surprised, reached in and touched it again, and sure enough, it was soft fur. She simply opened the bag, and saw a long snow-white hair revealing inside.

And Ah Ye, who was at Su Jinyao's feet, raised his nose and sniffed, and suddenly barked at the baggage.

"Don't scream, Ah Ye, it's not alive." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she shook out a fox fur from her baggage. The snow-white fox fur is very long and very soft. Ah Ye must have smelled the smell of the fox, so he barked.

Su Jinyao carried the big coat and asked the second prince: "Give it to me?" ”

"Well, tomorrow I have to cross the mountain stream, and it will still be cold. This one is light and soft, and you wear it. After speaking, the second prince also raised his burden and said, "Mine has also been brought, if you want to go in and have a look now, I will accompany you." ”

After speaking, he opened the baggage, and inside was a black mink fur, which was also smooth and well-made.

Su Jinyao didn't expect that the second prince would be so careful. He looked back again and said, "Forget it, I'm not going today." It's getting late anyway. I'm not that easily curious. We'll find out tomorrow. ”

"Okay, go back and get some rest. You don't have to wake up early tomorrow, just get ready before noon. After the second prince finished speaking, he put away the mink fur. casually took Su Jinyao's one and helped her wrap it back into the baggage.

Su Jinyao looked at the burden, thought for a while, and said, "You have long been preparing to take me to Qingfan?" ”

The second prince glanced up at Su Jinyao and nodded. He asked rhetorically, "How do you know?" ”

Su Jinyao pointed to the burden in his hand and said, "This is located in southern Xinjiang, even if there are foxes in the mountains, there will be no such snow foxes with thick fur." This should be a fox fur produced in the north, or even in the desert north, to have such a good coat color and density. So I'm thinking, with this fox fur alone, you've been preparing for a long time. ”

"Clever." The second prince nodded and said, "I really thought about bringing you here a long time ago. However, the time has not been set at that time, but I can be sure that you will come. ”

Of course, Su Jinyao could hear the hidden meaning in the words of the second prince. But he didn't say anything, so she just pretended to be stupid. After all, the two of them will not have any intersection other than friendship (qíng). Back at the camp, the tent was already set up. It is a simple marching tent, not very spacious, but it is ventilated and breathable, and it can also prevent mosquitoes and rats.

Su Jinyao didn't mean to sleep immediately, and before the sun set, she picked a lot of herbs nearby and came back to teach the witch doctors to identify them.

At the same time, she will also perform some simple minor surgeries on some soldiers who have been wounded in battle.

Although the initial treatment period has passed, some of the soldiers' wounds have scabbed, and some injuries would not have had any sequelae if they had been treated at the beginning, but now it is a little too late to deal with them.

But as long as the other party can accept Su Jinyao's second operation, she is willing to minimize the sequelae to them.

Of course, there are also people who can't bear the pain of broken bones and then interconnected, so they can only let the bones that were previously misplaced and not returned to their places grow like this.

What Su Jinyao can do is to help those soldiers tie the fixed straps a little tighter, so that they can recover as well as possible.

Several witch doctors were puzzled by Su Jinyao's approach at first, thinking that it was making the wounded more painful. However, Su Jinyao repeatedly explained, emphasized, and even drew a bone structure diagram to explain, and several witch doctors gradually accepted it.

These witch doctors will now not only follow Su Jinyao to treat the wounded, but also persuade the wounded to try their best to let Su Jinyao be treated again, even if they are enduring the pain now, but when they recover to the later stage, they may reduce the pain for twenty years.

was busy until dusk, and the second prince called someone to invite Su Jinyao back to eat.

The meal was very simple, but it could be seen that it was specially prepared for Su Jinyao.

Because the Qingfan people eat (ròu), it is almost no (ròu) unhappy. Therefore, when marching, the most you bring is (ròu) dry, and when you eat, you use a large pot with water and wild vegetables, throw in a few large pieces (ròu) and boil it, and sprinkle a large handful of chili peppers to eat it deliciously.

And now what is prepared for Su Jinyao is a list of side dishes, a plate of lettuce, a plate of dried fried vegetables (ròu) slices, and a plate of wild vegetables with sesame oil and spicy seeds.

There is also a dish of egg drop soup, but the eggs are not eggs, they should be bird eggs picked up somewhere, so the soup smells a little fishy, but the soup is also dripping with sesame oil, so the taste is still acceptable.

Sesame oil is a rare thing in the army, and the second prince (shēn) as the commander can have a soup dripping with sesame oil at once, and Su Jinyao's current standard is very high.

Although the second prince ate at the same table as Su Jinyao, he ate a meal with the taste of Qingfan people. A large bowl of boiled dried vegetables and some dried vegetables are all over the bowl, and the bowl is full of chili peppers, which makes people feel a fever in the throat.

Su Jinyao picked up the bowl, looked at the chili peppers in the bowl of the second prince, pursed her lips, and said: "Generally speaking, it is said that chili peppers can drive away cold, dispel dampness, and clear miasma, so it is also right for people here to eat chili peppers." But in fact, there are many dishes that can replace chili peppers, and there are also many easier ways to use them to easily drive away cold and miasma. So, isn't it uncomfortable for you to have hemorrhoids, Second Prince? Do you want me to give you a home remedy, so that you don't have to eat so many chili peppers in the future, and you won't be afraid of damp poison? ”

"Poof" The mouthful of soup (ròu) that the second prince had just eaten sprayed directly on the ground, and he quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Jinyao, you, can you eat well?" Is it okay not to mention such a disgusting thing? ”

"(shēn) As a healer and a disciple of a divine doctor, I am very proficient in looking, smelling, asking, and cutting. I look at your complexion, and I know that you have recently had constipation......

"Jinyao, needless to say, I don't have hemorrhoids, really." After the second prince finished speaking, he quickly pulled out all the chili peppers in the bowl, and then ate (ròu) and drank the soup in a big gulp. Eat a big bowl of vegetables clean with three times and five divided by two, and then said: "Jinyao, I still have something to do, I have to make arrangements for tomorrow's crossing of the mountain stream (qíng), you eat slowly, I'll go." ”

Su Jinyao laughed secretly, but she didn't forget to tease him and said, "Oh, go ahead." However, don't squat in the pit for too long, even if you don't have hemorrhoids, it's not good. If you really can't get it, I'll give you a prescription. ”

Su Jinyao's words were as if he had inserted a knife in the back of the second prince, and he ran away with a puff of smoke.

Su Jinyao stuck out her tongue and ate vegetables and rice by herself. After eating, I wiped my mouth and let out a sigh. Then he went back to his tent

It's not that she's too pretentious (qíng) and too bad-hearted, it's really the atmosphere of two people sitting together and eating like this, so embarrassing.

Su Jinyao didn't want to play ambiguous, and she didn't want to make a way for a long life, so she had to avoid this opportunity to be alone. Since there is no future, don't let him expect a start.

There is a night guarding by Su Jinyao's (chuáng), and she can sleep peacefully all night. The next day, I slept until I woke up naturally, and when I woke up, some of the Qingfan soldiers had already begun to pack up their things, and the other part seemed very leisurely.

Su Jinyao thought that it should be that the second prince had already made a marching plan, and some people would go on the road together today, and the other two parts would stay.

Su Jinyao didn't have anything to pack, the only extra luggage was some herbs picked on the road these days. Many herbs are unique to this miasma forest, and they are usually difficult to encounter, so Su Jinyao carefully collected them.

The second prince was also ready to go, and when he learned that Su Jinyao had gotten up, he came over and said, "Jinyao, I'll walk at the back in a while, and you and the others will go first." ”

Su Jinyao understands that the reason why the second prince did this proves that he is a good coach. He knew that the time to pass through the mountain stream was only one hour at noon, and of course the time was right, and the sooner he set out, the safer it would be.

If you are the last to set off, you may encounter sudden climate changes and sudden temperature drops, and when the time comes, you can't get out in time, and you can't turn back, so you can only suffer from the cold.

If something happens to the people in front of you and the mountain stream is blocked, the situation will be even worse. The last of them will stay in the mountain stream longer, which will greatly increase the danger.

But it is precisely because of this that the second prince did not choose to go first, but stayed until the end, which shows that he still cares about the life and death of those soldiers.

Therefore, Su Jinyao thought about it, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I don't care, I'll walk at the end with you." ”

"Jinyao, I want you to go first." The second prince seemed very persistent, he would not let Su Jinyao take risks.

Su Jinyao said: "I don't know much about the situation here (qíng), I walk in front with soldiers I don't know, once something happens in front (qíng), I can't speak, what do you let me do?" Of course I'm safer with you, at least you're the manager, they won't let you do anything. ”

When the second prince heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Jin Yao, thank you for being willing to go with me." Seeing the glittering gaze of the second prince, Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm really thinking about myself, I don't mean anything else." ”

The second prince pursed his lips and smiled, and did not say anything else. Just looked up at the sun in the sky, silently calculated the time, and then ordered the team to set off.

The first third of the soldiers were not random, nor were they in the order of the ranks. Rather, there were the wounded, witch doctors, and some animal keepers who kept hyenas and war pythons. The distribution is very reasonable, and it should be that each department should move forward in batches.

Su Jinyao and the second prince walked at the end, and when they came to the mountain stream, they saw that the soldiers began to take out all the clothes they had prepared, and quickly (tào) on (shēn), and then walked inside one by one.

The mountain stream is narrow to only about ten meters wide, but the second prince said that the narrowest section can only allow five or six people to walk side by side.

Therefore, the team did not rush in, but walked in quickly in a row of five people, so as not to change the formation and delay time when they reached a narrow place.

The second prince motioned to Su Jinyao to put the fox fur coat over here, and then advised: "Wrap it tightly, and wear the hood too." ”

Su Jinyao did it one by one. Because you can already feel the cold wind blowing from the mountain stream.

After waiting for a while, the team in front finally entered the mountain stream. The second prince didn't bring Su Jinyao in immediately, but said, "Wait a little longer, if there is a situation (qíng) in front of you, someone will report back." If there is no problem, say that it is more than half of the team, then it is too late to return, and we will go again. ”

So after waiting for a while, it is estimated that he has distanced himself from the person in front, and the second prince saw that there was no surprise (qíng) in reply, so he walked in with Su Jinyao.

At this time, it is already midday, and the sun is at its hottest. But in the mountain stream, not only can you not feel the warmth, but even the sun does not shine to the end.

Su Jinyao looked up, and sure enough, she saw that the sunlight only shone a little lower than half of the mountain, and then not only did there be no sunlight, but she could also feel the wet and cold of the water vapor condensing into Xiaoice droplets.

Walking forward, you can hear the sound of "booming" water, but Su Jinyao can't see where the water is.

The second prince explained: "There is a river in this mountain stream that is very strange, and it seems to come out of a certain place like a spring, and it flows all the way through the mountain stream.
