On the first day, I stayed quietly at the inn, always vigilant, and slept lightly all night. The next day, I stayed overnight in a dilapidated temple with leaky winds, and although it was safe, I was woken up by freezing before dawn. Unlike the previous two days, it was a quiet night and a good night's sleep.

As soon as the sun rose, the silence was woken up. A good night's sleep, quiet and energetic. After washing and dressing, he quietly pushed open the door and walked out.

The old man in the yard was chopping firewood, and the old woman was standing in the yard feeding the chickens and ducks. Breakfast will be fine for a while. Your old man has fed him and given him warm water. The mother-in-law looked quiet and said with a smile.

"So I've thanked my father and mother-in-law." Quiet arched his hand and said to the two.

The mother-in-law sprinkled the last handful of rice bran in the dustpan in the courtyard and turned into the stove room. Jing Jing saw that the old man in the courtyard was chopping firewood with an axe in one hand, and looked carefully, only to find that the old man was actually a cripple. Only one of the old man's hands is complete, and on the other hand, there is only one thumb and palm. Seeing this, Jing Jing hurriedly walked over, took the axe in the old man's hand, and chopped up the dry wood one by one.

By the time the old woman came out of the stove to call for dinner, Quiet had already chopped a large pile of wood. Quietly put the chopped wood neatly under the window, and then walked into the stove room, washed his hands and ate. Breakfast was cornmeal batter, two wowotou, and two plates of small pickles. Because breakfast was too simple and crude, the old woman said sorry all the time during the meal. Although the old man did not speak, he was also a little ashamed on his face. The old couple are a warm-hearted and solid-eyed couple. In their hearts, it is a very rude thing to fail to prepare a good meal when there is a guest at home.

For such a pair of old people, the quiet heart is very fond of it. The old woman's pickled pickles were very appetizing, so she quietly drank two large bowls of cornmeal batter with the pickles, and ate two more nests. Seeing the sweetness of quiet food, the old woman was very happy. Although the food is simple, it is a very happy thing for the old woman to be recognized for her craftsmanship.

After breakfast, I quietly returned to the house and carried the cloth bag on my back. He took out the money bag from his bosom, poured out five taels of broken silver and two strings of copper plates and put them on the kang table, and then turned around and walked out of the room. For the old couple who took her in for one night, the silence was appreciated. It can be seen that this small village is very poor and backward. And the old couple who have no children to rely on live a very hard life. The reason why Quiet left broken silver and copperplates, instead of silver ingots, is not that Quiet is stingy. It's really because the old man is old, and the young man who has nothing to do at home has left too much money, just afraid that it will bring them unwarranted disasters. Although the broken silver and copper plates are only six or seven taels, they are enough to make the old couple richer in life, at least they can eat some fine grains such as rice and noodles every once in a while.

Bidding farewell to the hospitable second elder, he quietly embarked on the journey to find a husband again. She never asked the name of the old man who had taken her in for the night, and the old man never asked her. Maybe they (they) all know that this meeting is just a meeting in the water, and there is no difference between asking and not asking. Maybe in this life, they will never see each other again.

It takes about ten days to walk the main road from Qingzhou Mansion to Liaodong, and it only takes five or six days to get there by walking the small road. For some reason, Quiet wanted to see Xiao Qifeng very urgently, so Quiet took the path that was close. The so-called small roads are much more difficult to walk than the big ones, and if you can't meet the villages and towns, you will stay in the wilderness overnight, and there are many more risks associated with it, such as road robbery. Fortunately, the first three days were spent peacefully, and today is the fourth day, and she is one step closer to him.

The snow has stopped, but the weather is getting colder. The bitter cold wind of the early morning whistled by, and the frozen silence shivered. The closer you get to the border of Liaodong, the more difficult it is to walk, and the temperature is getting lower and lower.

The temperature in Qingzhou Mansion at this time is about minus 156 degrees, and the temperature in Qingzhou Mansion is the lowest, that is, minus 24 degrees. The frost-free period is about five to six months a year, and it belongs to the middle temperate plain area. The moisture conditions are semi-humid and belong to the wet monsoon climate. The precipitation in Qingzhou is concentrated, and the temperature difference is large. Summers are hot and rainy, and winters are dry and cold. December is the coldest month of the year and July is the hottest. Unlike Qingzhou, Liaodong is a permafrost zone and is a shallow hilly area. The temperature difference in eastern Liaodong is large, the days are long and the nights are short in summer, mainly on the summer solstice, and occasionally the Northern Lights appear. The people of this era regard the Northern Lights as a divine light and revere them very much. In winter, on the other hand, the nights are long and the days are short, and sometimes it is strangely cold. There is a frost-free period of three to four months throughout the year. At this time, the temperature is about minus 30 degrees, and the lowest temperature can reach minus 50 degrees. Compared with Qingzhou Mansion, the difference is not half a star, but twice the difference.

Maybe it's because of the war, maybe it's because it's a small road, it's sparsely populated, and there is no trace of anyone walking on the road. The road was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the horse was quietly led forward with difficulty.

At this time, the border of Liaodong was on the cliff of despair. Changqing and Changming carried the unconscious Xiao Qifeng and struggled forward in the mountains and forests.

Early this morning, Xiao Qifeng led the guards out of the city to meet the team transporting grain and grass, but because there were traitors in the army, the news was leaked, so that they were besieged by the enemy army under the cliff of despair. The enemy general besieging them was called Xue Kui, and he was a brave and good fighter. Originally, with Xiao Qifeng's skills, he would not be injured at all against Xue Kui. Even if Xiao Qifeng was carelessly injured, it would only be some minor injuries that had nothing to do with his life. However, Xiao Qifeng was drugged, which caused him to relapse in battle, and accidentally hit Xue Kui with an arrow in the chest. Changqing and Changming fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, and fled into the Desperate Mountain with the injured and unconscious Xiao Qifeng.

Those who enter the desperate mountain die for life. There was a lot of danger ahead, and the enemy was in hot pursuit. The Guards suffered numerous casualties in the battles with the enemy again and again. Now with the addition of Changqing and Changming, there are only about 20 people left.

Xue Kui's arrow hit Xiao Qifeng's chest, and it almost hit Xiao Qifeng's heart. Although Chang Ming pulled out the arrow for him and stopped the bleeding, Xiao Qifeng has never woken up since he fell into a coma. Because they came out to meet the troops who were carrying food and grass, they did not bring food and medicine. At this time, they also ran out of bows and arrows in their hands. There was no food, no drink, no weapons, the prince was unconscious again, and there were chasing soldiers behind him, and there was a cliff in front of them, and they were already desperate at this time.
