Text Chapter 240: Nangong pardon is trapped, deep in the snow forest

The hillside where everyone was looking for people before they came, and the wind and snow were still drifting, but it was much smaller than last night.

Nangong Xun divided everyone into three groups, Hongwu led a group, Yan Ziyue led a group, and he led a group, searched carefully separately, how far he could go, and returned to the village before sunset.

On the other side, after dawn, Nangong Yu instructed the soldiers to pull out the tent and prepare to go back, considering Yan Fengyi's foot injury, he cut down the wood as soon as the day dawned, and made a simple lifting frame, spread a thick quilt, which was very warm.

Nangong Yu led everyone up the hillside, the footprints when he came yesterday had already been buried by the heavy snow, Sinan had a problem again, and the snow flakes were flying, and the direction was difficult to distinguish for a while, so he had to reluctantly move forward.

After walking for about an hour, Nangong pardoned everyone to pause and rest, flew up to the treetops, and looked at the snow forest and deep mountains, boundless, and there was no sun, the sky was gray, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and couldn't help frowning, thinking: "When will this snow stop?" If it doesn't shine all the time, Sinan can't use it, I'm afraid I'll be trapped in the snow forest."

Nangong Yu could only rely on his intuition, leaving marks on the trees along the way, not turning back, and moving straight all the way.

Yan Ziyue and the others couldn't go too far, so they could only try their best to search forward for half a day before turning back, otherwise they might get lost.

"Not good," Sang Yu suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong"? Yan Ziyue asked hurriedly.

"Sinan has a problem."

Yan Ziyue came over to take a look, and sure enough, Sinan was pointing unclear, flashing left and right.

"What's going on"?

"It is rumored that there are all kinds of ores buried deep under the mountains and forests, and Sinan seems to have been disturbed by something."

When Yan Ziyue heard this, her heart tightened, and she guessed that Nangong pardoned them must have encountered the same thing, and Sinan lost his bearings, so he didn't come out for so long.

"Let's not go any further, and hurry back before the footprints are completely buried, or we may lose our way," Sang reminded.

When Yan Ziyue heard this, she was silent for a while, and then flew up to the treetops, looking into the distance, surrounded by falling snowflakes and towering snow trees, without half a figure.

Yan Ziyue landed, and everyone looked over, helpless, so they had to say, "Let's go back."

When they heard this, they all turned and walked back.

Yan Ziyue looked at the empty front and was reluctant to turn back for a long time.

"Let's go, he'll be fine", Luo Zihang said.

"Hmm".

Yan Ziyue and the others were the last to come back, and when they arrived at the Red Feather tribe's residence, it was already dark.

In the main hall of the Chiyu clan, Nangong Xun walked back and forth, not only worried about Nangong Amnesty, but also worried about Yan Ziyue and them, until he saw Yan Ziyue and others coming, he was a little relieved.

Yan Ziyue entered the hall, didn't say a word, and sat down on the chair lonely.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything.

On the other side, Nangong Yu and the others walked for a day, but still did not get out of the snow forest, the sky was getting late, it was not suitable to walk, and when they looked up, they saw that the snow was not big and the wind was light, so they ordered to find a relatively wide flat land and camp on the spot to rest.

"Major General", the military doctor came over.

"Military doctor, if you have something, you might as well say it directly."

"Major General, are we lost".

Nangong pardon was not easy to hide, nodded slightly and said, "Hmm."

"The dry food we bring can last up to a day, and if we can't go out for too long, we will be in trouble."

"I see, don't tell everyone just yet, I'll figure it out."

"Okay...", the medic turned and left.

Nangong Yu took out Sinan and looked at it, but he still jumped around, and then looked at the dense and countless trees around him, which was really a bit difficult.

Yan Fengyi sat on the lifting frame and looked at Nangong Yu's back, she was very sad, she couldn't help him, and she made trouble for him, and now she hurt him even more.

"Nurse, I... What if we can't get out of this forest?"

"Princess, no, isn't there Nangong Xiaoshizi, he will take us out."

"Hmm...", Yan Fengyi nodded, and now in addition to believing in him, she believes in him.

In the hall of the Red Feather tribe, Hongwu asked people to prepare roast suckling pig and pheasant and other game, and also served steaming mutton soup for everyone to eat.

Yan Ziyue didn't have the heart to eat, standing under the eaves and watching the black rumbling night in a daze.

Nangong Xun took a bowl of soup, tore off a piece of chicken thigh meat and handed it to Yan Ziyue and said, "Let's eat some first, otherwise, Nangong Yu will come back, I see that you are hungry and thin, but you have to rely on me."

Yan Ziyue glanced at Nangong Xun and said, "I can't eat it, you can eat it."

"You can eat as much as you want", Nangong Xun persuaded him.

Yan Ziyue couldn't shirk it, so she had to take the mutton soup, and just as she wanted to take a sip, she remembered Nangong pardoning them, so she asked, "Nangong Xun, is the dry food that Nangong pardoned them enough?" How many days can it last"?

Nangong Xun's eyes sank, and he said with a worried look: "It's enough for three days at most."

"There are two days left..., if you still can't come back, but you are hungry and cold, and the situation is difficult."

"I believe that Nangong Yu will definitely come back", Nangong Xun said firmly.

"They should be in trouble, Sinan may not be working, so they got lost," Yan Ziyue said.

"How do you know"? Nangong Xun was a little surprised.

"Because, during the daytime today, our Sinan is also affected, probably by the influence of underground iron ore, and the direction is unknown."

"I see".

Yan Ziyue stopped talking, looked at the snowflakes falling at her feet, thought, suddenly turned around and entered the hall, and said to Hongwu: "Red Chief, do you have a topographic map of this mountain forest"?

"What"? Hongwu didn't understand for a while, turned to the guy beside him and asked, "What is she talking about?"

"The topographic map is the direction and distribution of the mountains and forests," Wu Lingyun explained.

"Then do we have it"?

"No...", he thought for a while and said: "We don't, each of our Heavenly Wolf Clan has its own territory, and they all live by experience, and there is a map to go to Heavenly Wolf Valley, but...", as if thinking of something.

"Can you borrow it and take a look?"

Tui glanced at Hongwu, and Hongwu immediately said, "Give it to her."

He turned into the inner hall, and when he came out, a map was unfolded on the large round table in the hall, which was the route map from Xilong City to the Heavenly Wolf Valley, and that's it, the direction of the mountains and forests and the location of each department were not indicated.

Yan Ziyue glanced at it and said, "Witch Spirit, can you make this map mark the direction of the mountains and forests, as well as the territories of each tribe."

"This", Tu looked at Hongwu again.

Hongwu touched his forehead and thought about it, a little worried.

Seeing this, Nangong Xun stepped forward and persuaded him: "Uncle, don't worry, we will never use it to the detriment of the Heavenly Wolf Clan."

"Xun, you have to be the one who speaks, otherwise, I will be killed by you."

"I swear by God...".

"No need... Tui, give it to her".

Only then did Wu Lingyun take out a feather, dip it in cinnabar mud, and mark it on the map with his own experience, and at this time, Sang Yu also stepped forward to help.

An hour later, Tu and Sang Yu confirmed the map again, and then showed it to Yan Ziyue.

Yan Ziyue took it, glanced at it, and also picked up the feather stained with cinnabar mud, and made a more detailed mark while asking in detail.

This night, Yan Ziyue held the topographic map and looked at it, and stayed awake all night.

On the other side, it was difficult to survive all night, the humidity of the mountains and forests was too heavy, and there was no fire, and the soldiers were awakened by freezing several times at night, so they had to huddle together and cover several layers of quilts to withstand the cold.

In the camp where Yan Fengyi was, the charcoal fire was stained with moisture, the fire was getting weaker and weaker, Yan Fengyi was so cold that her teeth chattered in the middle of the night, Fang Gu hugged her tightly, and the two snuggled together, wrapping the quilt tightly.

Although Nangong Yu has decades of skills, he can't bear the cold in the snow, so he has to sit up and meditate to keep out the cold.

The soldiers of the night watch couldn't bear it even more, and one by one they were so cold that they had snot and tears, and stomped their feet and rubbed their hands.

When Nangong Yu heard the movement outside the tent, he went out of the tent, and when he saw the appearance of the soldiers, he said, "You all go into the tent to warm up."

The soldiers of the night watch looked at each other and hurried into their tents.

Nangong Yu looked back and forth outside the tent, blamed himself, and then looked at Yan Fengyi's tent, gently opened the tent curtain and looked, and found that the charcoal fire was gradually extinguished, so he walked in, the palms of his hands were hot, and most of the moisture on the charcoal fire volatilized, and the fire immediately became prosperous, and then he turned around and walked out of the tent.

The night in the mountains and forests was so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of falling snow. Nangong Yufei went to the treetops, hoping to see a little light in the distance, but in fact, there was no light at all, and it was pitch black. If it's just a person, with his own martial arts, volleying through the mountains and forests, he will definitely be able to get out within two days, but not now, and even if he leaves, it will be difficult to come back to them again, then they will only have a dead end.

The cold wind was still whistling in his ears, and Nangong Yu was on duty alone until dawn, every time he thought of Yan Ziyue, he would strengthen his belief in going out.

After dawn, Nangong Yu woke up everyone, and when he saw that they were all listless, he comforted them, gave them hope, and told them that they would definitely be able to get out.

"Major General, we have almost finished eating the food and wine we have brought, if we can't go out today, I'm afraid...", the adjutant general came over and whispered.

Nangong Yu thought for a while and said, "I want to think of another way, you send an order to go down and collect all the food and wine for safekeeping, and distribute them once a day."

"Yes," the lieutenant commanded.

In the village of the Chibane tribe, early in the morning, Nangong Xun found everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone was silent, Yan Ziyue thought for a while, got up and said: "Nangong pardon them should not be able to find the direction, if we can give them a signal to point out the direction, I believe they can come out."

"That's right, but what can I do?" Hongwu said with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

"Smoke, is it okay"? Yan Ziyue said.

When Nangong Xun heard this, he immediately responded: "You can give it a try."

Hongwu immediately arranged for the people to light a fire in front of the village, and then spread the damp wood and cedar branches, and the smoke billowed up, but because of the strong wind and the northwest, the smoke was blown away before it reached the sky.

Everyone watched, a little frustrated.

Yan Ziyue looked at the direction where the smoke was drifting, thought for a while, and turned to Sang Yu and Tui Wu Ling and said: "Two witch spirits, dare to ask if you can predict the direction of the wind with the experience of the two of you?"

Sang Yu and Tu glanced at each other, and replied at the same time, "We are happy to agree."

Yan Ziyue had already looked at the map several times, and estimated that Nangong pardoned them to be in the mountains and forests in the south, so she pointed to the mountains and forests and said, "That's good... There are two workers, and the wind direction is the same, but when, how strong is the wind, and how long can it last"?
