Chapter 21 Over the mountain

Before she could run far, there was movement behind her, and the sound of footsteps was rapidly approaching this way along the bluestone road. Zhao Ziqing hurriedly ran to a pine tree and squatted down, raised his eyes to look in the direction of the bluestone road, and by the moonlight, he soon vaguely saw several black figures running towards this side.

- The moonlight sprinkled on the long knives in their hands, reflecting the light of the people.

"Hu!" A few dark shadows saw the sentry lying on the ground from afar, and hurriedly ran over - "It's still angry, it's still alive." ”

"Hu, wake up, what the hell is going on."

Zhao Ziqing knew that they would not get an answer, and it seemed that Zuo Rong and the others didn't seem to have noticed that she was no longer in that tent, and they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the people who came behind couldn't wake Ah Hu for a while, they looked around, but didn't find anything unusual, so they left two people to guard the place, and the rest of the people picked up Ah Hu and walked back.

Zhao Ziqing didn't want to stay here for a long time, after watching it for a while, she stood up and quietly continued to walk to the top of the mountain, but she was not very far from the sentry, and they left two more people to guard the place, so she could only walk as gently and slowly as possible, for fear that the noise would be too loud and alarm them.

However, before she could walk thirty meters away, another voice came from the other side of the village, and this time the movement was relatively loud, and the rumbling seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves.

Zhao Ziqing had no choice but to quickly find a place to squat down, quietly watching the direction of the bluestone road, and after a while, a group of tall black figures entered her sight. When the figures got closer, they suddenly heard someone say loudly: "Get on the horse, the young lady has run away, let's go separately and chase after us!" ”

Without saying a word, the two people who stayed behind took the horse from their hands, and turned over on the horse's back with a crisp and neat movement.

Zhao Ziqing, who was hiding in the shadows, watched a group of them hurry out of the village, and then quickly dispersed on the snow, and couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he was fortunate not to take the main road just now, otherwise it would definitely not be long before they would have caught up.

But she still didn't dare to take it lightly at this time, and quickly stood up, this time she no longer had any scruples, and took as many steps as she could, and ran quickly to the top of the mountain. It's just that there is no road on this mountain, it is extremely difficult to walk, there are many trees and thick snow, not to mention, what is even worse is that there are all kinds of thorns and vines everywhere, and the ground is uneven, Zhao Ziqing almost took a step and fell.

When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, although he was not injured, he was already tired and panting.

She was wearing that kind of thermal underwear, but she didn't feel cold, and the soup was like a steamer, but her hands didn't have any protective measures, she was numb from the cold, and there were bursts of heart-piercing pain in her fingers, so she stopped, searched the system with her mind, and found a pair of ski gloves inside.

She immediately took out her gloves, put them on, and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, this hill is not very high, and after a while, Zhao Ziqing finally climbed to the top of the mountain—probably due to the soil quality, the trees on this mountain top are far less dense than those halfway up the mountain, and there are no annoying thorn vines.

Standing in a clearing, the field of vision instantly became wider, because there was no wind, the night seemed unusually quiet, in the moonlight like water, the white earth was like a legendary fairy mirror, everything had a bit of dreamlike color, which made people feel a little unreal.

But at this time, Zhao Ziqing didn't have the heart to appreciate these beautiful scenery, she looked around at the surrounding terrain, there was a wilderness under the mountain, and those people looking for her might be going around there at this time, and if she went down now, she would undoubtedly be in a net; In front of us were hills one after another, separated by ravines one after another.

——Climbing from the bottom of the mountain to this mountain just now, he was already tired of half his life, and if he wanted to cross these ravines, Zhao Ziqing felt that his physical strength might not be able to keep up.

On the other side is a mountain that is many times higher than this hill, from her to the top of the mountain, there is still a distance of more than 1,000 meters, in the afternoon, she saw the ancient trees on the mountain, shaded by the sun, it can be called a primeval forest - in such weather, it is a big night, want to enter the mountain, Zhao Ziqing thinks that he does not have the ability.

There is no way out now, if you just stay here and wait for dawn, after Zuo Rong and they can't find her below, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not find this place, and it will be difficult to escape at that time.

Zhao Ziqing frowned slightly, and a faint sadness appeared on his face - what should I do?

She looked around a little dazedly, and then walked aimlessly along the ridge, but after walking for a while, she found that there seemed to be no trees on the whole ridge, and there was little vegetation, and it felt like that kind of bald mountain. So she simply walked down the ridge.

Who knew that this walk went all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Looking up at the mountain hidden in the hazy night, Zhao Ziqing couldn't take care of it for a while, and walked along the ridge to the top of the mountain.

I thought it would be like a primeval forest, but when I walked halfway up the mountain, I found that this ridge was similar to the ridge of the hills below, there were not many trees, and there was little vegetation, although there would be some stones and potholes under the snow, and the mountain was also steep, but it was still easy to walk, but it was just a little slow.

As long as you reach the top of the mountain, it shouldn't be difficult to find a hiding place, so Zhao Ziqing continued to climb up vigorously, and when he climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already early in the morning.

The top of the mountain is high, and after coming up, the cold wind has not stopped, whipping Zhao Ziqing's face like a whip, although she is wearing that kind of thermal underwear, she still can't help but shiver.

She glanced around, and there were no trees on the top of the mountain, it was covered with a thick layer of snow, and it looked bare, and she could see almost everywhere she looked.

- They shouldn't be chasing after them now, at least not tonight. Zhao Ziqing thought so in her heart, after tossing for most of the night, she was already exhausted, and her stomach kept growling.

She found a place to sit down, took out a loaf of bread and a box of nourishment, and after eating, she decided to stay at the top of the mountain for the night and wait until she got up tomorrow to make plans. So she turned on the system and took out a small tent and a sleeping bag, as well as a small flashlight - the smaller one, the big one was too bright for her fear of being seen.

I found a flat place, spread out the sleeping bag by the light of a small flashlight, then put the tent up over it, and fixed the four sides - and ...... Then she sat down on the sleeping bag, because the sleeping bag had a bracket at the bottom, and more than a dozen support pipes were firmly pressed against the solid soil through the snow, so the sleeping bag was not actually laid directly on the snow.

Zhao Ziqing took off her boots, only to find that the boots and trouser hems were wet with snow, thinking that she would wear them tomorrow, she had to take out a hair dryer, dry the wet places, and finally close the door curtains, and sleep in her clothes.

After lying down, Zhao Ziqing suddenly felt a pain all over his body, this is because Meng Shiyun had never exercised much in the past, and raised his body bones to be delicate and tender, and Zhao Ziqing traveled a long distance today, and crossed mountains and mountains, and suddenly his muscles and bones were a little unbearable.

However, this also made Zhao Ziqing fall asleep soon after lying down, and slept until the next morning when it was bright before waking up.

She got out of the tent and looked up at the sky, which was strange to say, there were stars and moon last night, but now the sky was gloomy, but fortunately the clouds were not thick, and the sky was bright, so it should not snow or rain.

She took out some water, washed up briefly, ate a little more, and put away the tent and sleeping bag.

- It's been a night, they should give up looking for me, right? Zhao Ziqing thought so in her heart, and after thinking about it, she decided to go and see it first, so she walked to the edge of the mountain, picked it up on the snow, and looked up at the bottom of the mountain.

Although it is a little far away, but through the condescending sight, the situation in the small village can still be vaguely seen, there are villagers walking around, but I don't see the figure of Zuorong's group, and I don't know if they are still there.

But no matter whether she is there or not, Zhao Ziqing will not go down, she is not willing to take this risk.

After looking at it for a while, she got up and walked to the other side of the mountain, checked the terrain under the mountain here, and found that this side is basically mountainous, but it seems that there is still a road to walk - since there is a road to walk, Zhao Ziqing naturally will not hesitate anymore, find a way down the mountain, and leave immediately.

Since it was daytime, it was naturally much easier to walk, and soon came to the bottom of the mountain.

However, just when Zhao Ziqing thought that he had stepped on the sunny avenue of freedom, suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Yun girl, you go there!" ”
