The realm of Beishan is too large, and the sparsely populated distribution is also relatively scattered, and it is impossible to get the specific route and direction, so it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone.

"Young Valley Lord, why don't we look for it separately?" Lou Qingqing suggested.

However, it was directly rejected by Bai Tang.

Although Kitayama is sparsely populated, it is somewhat similar to Luoxia Island, which has been called the Magic Island, and because there are no rules and moral constraints, it is full of dangers.

"What then?" Wei Yuan sat on the haystack, dangling his legs, looking up at the endless desert and barren mountains in the distance, and pursed his lips.

"Let's go in the direction she said first." Bai Tang sighed.

Lou Qingqing and Wei Yuan glanced at each other, shrugged, and also turned on their horses and headed towards the west.

The desolation of the North Mountain can be said to be beyond expectations, unlike the lush greenery when it came, it is like an endless desert, but it is not exactly a desert, because it sometimes has mountains and rocky valleys, green forests and dead trees.

Bai Tang uses the system to scan while walking, and once it scans a populated place, it will hit a horse and go to a place where there are people.

However, to their disappointment, although they had encountered several houses along the way, no one had seen any people in white and black passing by.

"Could it be that we are going the wrong way?" Wei Yuan took a sip of water, wiped his mouth with a water bladder, and frowned with an uncomfortable expression.

Now that it is winter, although there is no snow in the north mountain, it does not look like the sky is cold, but the temperature does not have to be much lower when the snow is covered with snow, on the contrary, because the cold wind is like a knife, it feels colder when it blows on the body.

"It's not too early, find a place to rest for the night, and then look for it tomorrow." Bai Tang looked at the two of them with a little too pale, and sighed.

"Okay." Both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the first time for them to go far away, and they were really a little uncomfortable in such a bitter cold place.

It's just that there are no villages here, and if you want to settle down, you can only find some places that can shelter from the wind and sand.

After searching for a while, he came across a valley with a few rocky mounds and low shrubs.

The three of them led their horses down and circled around to find a natural cave.

It can't be considered a cave, but it happens that two large rocks are quickly separated to form a wall, and there is a large sand pile on the left.

Bai Tang cut down two dead trees and piled them at the back, and found a few stone bars to frame them above, temporarily forming a small cave, which could accommodate the three of them to settle down.

Lou Qingqing and Wei Yuan were not idle, one went to find dry firewood, the other found some leaves and vines on the bushes, and then spread them on the ground, unwrapped the fox fur, and they could be used as sheets and quilts.

Lou Qingqing blew up the fire fold, lit it a few times before lighting the pyre, and then took out the dry food.

The cakes and other things brought out from Fengcheng are almost eaten, and the dry food is only pancakes.

"There aren't even animals here, I don't know how those people live." Wei Yuan tugged at the pancakes, pouted and tried to swallow them, and her mind was already constantly fantasizing about various delicacies, such as relying on rabbit meat and the like.

At this time, you should have a few game roasted and eaten.

"Come on, it's good to have bread to eat." Lou Qingqing rolled his eyes, the pancakes in his hands were not bad, they were specially made by Fengtai in the kitchen, and the ordinary portable dry cakes sold on the street were different, even if they were stored for a few days, they were still soft, but some of the cold tastes were relatively poor, but compared to the current environment, they were already very good.

Wei Yuan sighed, raised his head and drank again.

"Don't drink water all the time." Lou Qingqing couldn't help but remind her.

"Don't be afraid, when the time comes, find someone to borrow some, and there should be a river nearby." Wei Yuan waved his hand with a proud expression.

Lou Qingqing twitched the corners of his mouth, and said angrily, "Who said this, if you drink too much, you should run to the toilet later, but there is no thatched toilet here, it is from the barren mountains and wilderness, hehe." ”

This hehe was obviously a little gloating, Wei Yuan suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and then he also thought of this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look outside where the cold wind was constantly whistling.

Sighing depressedly, Wei Yuan turned his head to look at Bai Tang, who was eating the cake silently, and asked, "Sister Tangtang, what are we going to do tomorrow?" ”

In fact, she wanted to ask if she would keep looking for it if she couldn't find it, and when would she be able to return to the palace.

After running this trip, her interest in martial arts has decreased a little, and it is not as exciting as the happy rivers and lakes she imagined, but it is very boring, and she now wants to go back to the palace quickly.

But it's hard for her to ask, after all, Brother Yan's life and death are uncertain now.

"Rest early." Bai Tang didn't answer her question, just admonished, ate the last piece of cake, wiped his hands, gathered the big cake, leaned against the stone wall that he spit out, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Wei Yuan pursed her lips, played with the cake that was still half left in her hand, and muttered, "How can you sleep." ”

Lou Qingqing smiled, "Walking in the rivers and lakes is like this, where to squat, this is not bad, if you encounter an endless desert that doesn't even block the wind, you can only lie on the sand and blow the wind." Why, do you need me to sleep on you? ”

Wei Yuan flattened her mouth, "It's as if you've experienced it too, hmph, how can a chivalrous woman not be able to bear this bit of bitterness." As he spoke, he raised his chin, raised his hand and bit the cake resentfully, swallowed it and poured a small amount of saliva, then wiped his mouth and lay down directly, and put the hood behind the fox fur on his head.

Lou Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she saw her deliberately reckless appearance, and then neatly ate the cake in her hand, picked up a few pieces of dry firewood and threw them into the fire, and then lay down next to her, with her head resting on her arms.

The cave was silent for a moment, except for the crackling of firewood, the howling of the wind outside, the occasional crackling of dead branches, and the rattling of bushes.

I don't know if I'm too tired, Wei Yuan fell into a deep sleep after a while, and snoring, like a little milk cat.

Lou Qingqing counted her little snoring boredom, threw a few more dry firewood into the fire, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

In the middle of the night, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and there was a faint sound similar to the sound of horses' hooves in the howling cold wind.

I don't know what kind of dream I had, Wei Yuan was alarmed, struggled to sit up, and shouted, "I'm going to fall!" ”

But before she could shout again, her mouth was covered.

"Shh Lou Qingqing whispered in her ear.

Wei Yuan finally came to his senses completely, blinked his eyes, and found that it was dark in the cave, and the fire did not know when it had been extinguished, but it obviously did not go out for long, because the sparks in it could still be faintly seen.

She raised her hand and pulled down Lou Qingqing's hand, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Bai Tang's location, but then Yueguang found that there was no one in that place, and she was shocked, "What about Sister Tangtang?" ”

"The young valley master is checking the situation outside, don't talk too much." Lou Qingqing whispered, let go of her, walked to the entrance of the cave again, leaned against the stone and looked out, but saw nothing.

However, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves could be heard getting closer and closer, and the shaking of the ground was becoming more and more obvious.

Wei Yuan also cautiously climbed over, also heard those voices clearly, and whispered to Lou Qingqing, "Horse thief?" ”

The corners of Lou Qingqing's mouth twitched, thinking to himself where so many thieves came from, but he couldn't completely deny this possibility, so he didn't reply to her.

Wei Yuan stretched her neck to see, but she couldn't see anything, so she wanted to go out, but was grabbed by Lou Qingqing.

"The young valley lord told us to wait here, not to go out casually."

"I'll just look at the entrance of the cave and make sure I don't run far."

"Nope." Lou Qingqing dragged her back by dragging her, "Stay honest." ”

Wei Yuan was immediately dissatisfied, but he didn't go out again.

Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, looked back, her eyes lit up, and she immediately discharged Lou Qingqing's hand, and then crawled inside, climbed to the temporary wall made of dead wood, broke a crack, and looked out, just in time to see a faint fire moving not far away.

"Hey, here, here." Wei Yuan immediately beckoned to Lou Qingqing.

Lou Qingqing also came over, and the two of them looked out on their knees.

Just above the valley, there seemed to be a caravan of horses moving for a few miles, and a small fiery serpent formed by the campfire was also moving.

But looking at their direction, it's not coming from their side.

It's just that they looked around, but they didn't find Bai Tang's figure.

At this moment, Wei Yuan's afterglow seemed to catch a glimpse of something red, and couldn't help but turn her gaze back, and then she met two things that were glowing red, and by the moonlight, you could still see reflective scales, and the letter spit out and swept it to her arm.

She was so shocked that the cells in her whole body exploded, and she subconsciously stood up and wanted to retreat, but she tripped over the shrub and soft vine under her feet, and the whole person fell towards the dead wood wall in front of her, and she couldn't help screaming, and then pushed the dead wood wall with both hands, and the whole person rolled to the ground along with the collapsed dead wood wall.

Lou Qingqing was also taken aback, and subconsciously went to catch her, but she was also thrown out with her.

The wilderness is already empty and silent, and when it is still night, Wei Yuan's movement is not small, although those people are still relatively far away, but generally as long as they have the ability to hear the eight directions, it is not difficult to find it.

Sure enough, the movement alarmed the ranks on that side, and after a brief confusion the sound of horses' hooves stopped, and in a few moments several men with torches and horses came running towards them.

Lou Qingqing also reacted, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly pulled Wei Yuan up, "It's been discovered, get up quickly." ”

"I'm bitten, it hurts." Wei Yuan held his wrist, and there were four small blood holes on the side of his palm, and blood had already come out.

"Bitten by what? Bugger? Lou Qingqing was also taken aback, and hurriedly went to look, but even if there was moonlight, the sky was still too dark, and he could only vaguely smell a faint smell of blood.

"I don't know, I think it's a lizard."

"What." Lou Qingqing suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows, any snakes and insects that appear in this place are inevitably highly poisonous.

She was busy taking Wei Yuan to go back to the cave to get the medicine and apply it first.

But by this time the men had approached and could clearly see their shadows.

Lou Qingqing could only grab a few burdens first, stuff Wei Yuan into the bushes on the other side, and let her find her own medicine first, and then turn back to the place where the dead wood wall fell, and immediately run forward when those people approached.

When those people saw a figure running under the moonlight, they immediately turned around and chased after them, shouting, "Who's over there, don't run!" ”

Lou Qingqing ran forward against the wind, and when she looked back, she couldn't see if those people were chasing after her, hoping that Wei Yuan's side would not be discovered.

At this moment, a dark shadow fell in front of him.

Lou Qingqing was so frightened that he almost screamed, and the next moment his waist was grabbed, and the person was carried by a few flying columns, and at the same time, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, "What about Yuan'er?" ”

"Also, it's still in the same place, I don't know if it's been found." Hearing this voice, Lou Qingqing almost cried with joy, his body also relaxed, and hurriedly said.

After Bai Tang listened, he flicked his feet, and flew past the chasing people and flew towards the small cave.

Fortunately, those people subconsciously chased after Lou Qingqing, so Wei Yuan's side was not discovered.

But even so, Wei Yuan's condition was not very good, and she fainted.

"What's going on?" Seeing Wei Yuan, who fell to the ground motionless, Bai Tang hurriedly went over and picked him up.

"She looks like she was bitten by a lizard, probably poisoned." Lou Qingqing was also anxious.

At this time, the person who turned the horse's head and chased after him also arrived.

After Bai Tang was sure that Wei Yuan's life was not in danger for the time being, he handed her over to Lou Qingqing and asked her to take the poison repellent pill for her first, and then went out alone to meet those people.

"Who are you?" The big man who was still on the horse at the head leaned forward with the torch forward, but Bai Tang was wearing a big hat and a wide hood on his face, so he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly at all, so he could only ask in a rough voice.

The remaining four people all turned over and dismounted, holding torches in one hand and machetes in the other, standing on the big man's horse, looking at her vigilantly.

"It's just a scattered person passing by, and I don't intend to disturb you, please forgive me." Baitang Road.

Hearing that it was a female voice, a glimmer of light flashed in Dahan's eyes, and then he squinted his eyes and looked at her again, "Where did you come from and where are you going?" ”

"It's a private matter." Baitang Road.

Dahan immediately sank his face and snorted coldly, "Then there is no evidence to prove it, maybe you are spies sent by which side, you can't just let it go, at least you have to wait for it to be clear, please come with us." ”

Bai Tang frowned and did not respond.

Dahan thought that she would definitely be unwilling, and he was not ready to wait for her to answer after speaking, so he motioned for his subordinates to come forward and take someone.

"It's okay to go together, but the sister was bitten by poison, can you make it convenient for her to treat her injuries first?" Baitang Road.

She spoke, and the four of them also subconsciously stood and turned their heads to look at the big man.

When Dahan heard this, he was a little surprised by her agreement, but he was suspicious of her words, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Just take it with you, I know about any poison here, and there is also a corresponding antidote." ”

"That'...... All right. Bai Tang responded, said wait a minute, and then turned back to the cave.

The man was afraid that they would run away, so he motioned for the four of them to follow and have a look.

Three horses were tied to the side of another rudimentary stone wall on the inside.

Lou Qingqing took out one of the horses, and Bai Tang carried Wei Yuan to the other horse to put it away, and then turned over and rode together.

The big man didn't stop him, probably confident that they wouldn't be able to escape right under his nose. Take a look at the latest chapter of "NPC in Ancient Times: Love at Doctor's Sight, Rely on Your Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
