Chapter 134: A Trip to the Snow Mountain (2)
Before setting off for this cloud mountain, I showed the soldiers the pattern of the grass drawn by the old woman, "This is the grass grass, if any of you find it, fire a signal flare, and we will all rush to the place where we need to squat, please trouble everyone." ”
Although they are all under Xiao Ruan's orders, so they will come to help me, but I still have to be grateful to them, this trip to the snow mountain is not as simple as imagined, the snow on the snow mountain is now backlogged thick, I don't know where the grass grows, I hope God can help.
The person who took the lead was called Lian Hao, and he asked two of his subordinates to give me and Kun Yu all their rations and other equipment.
Now is not the time to shirk, Kun and I almost fled to the foot of this snowy mountain, so there is really nothing to eat on our bodies.
"Theirs was given to us, so what are they doing in the mountains?" Today's Qiyun Mountain can be said to have nothing to eat, without this ration, it is estimated that survival is a problem, I really want to ask.
But apparently I'm a pig brain, such a simple problem people have long thought of me, Lian Hao said, "It's okay, the two of them are squatting at the nearest point, they can buy some later, let's go first." ”
This Lian Hao is also a person who will not delay his work, and in the end, Kun Yu and I followed them to this cloud mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, the road was not slippery, but after half an hour of climbing, I fell several times, if it weren't for the thick clothes, I guess my butt would have been bruised, and the boots were getting deeper and deeper than the snow, but it had only been snowing for two days, and the snow was so thick.
After walking for a while, I felt a little out of breath, and my body became hotter, but I was afraid that I would take off this plush jacket outside, and I was afraid that I would catch a cold after a while.
"Miss Xiaoju, Miss Kun, if you go further, we will have to disperse, you have to be careful yourself, if you can't do it, follow us, there is a more dangerous deep snow area in front, this snow has been falling for two days, and I am afraid that it is already deep and unpredictable."
If we follow them, there is a place where no one will pass, if the grass just grows in that place, then we will venture to the snow mountains to walk this trip in vain, now I want to be foolproof to get the brush, and other things are not in my scope for the time being.
"It's okay, if we're in real danger, we'll send this flare out right away."
Seeing that I was not moved, Lian Hao was not reluctant, and after walking inside for a few minutes, these people who had originally gathered together began to disperse in twos and threes, and began to rush to the place where they were going to squat along these four or five forks.
I remember that at that time, Imperial Physician He specifically mentioned that the survival period of the grass is very short, it will wither in five days, according to the normal growth rate, the grass will sprout and break the ground between tonight and tomorrow morning, and then it can be picked at noon tomorrow, this plant is really comparable to fireflies, the bloom and end of life are in a short moment, so this can leave us little time.
After all of them were gone, Kun Yu stopped.
"Kun Xuan, what's wrong?"
"Princess, can you rest for a while, I feel a little tired."
Kun Yu's reason is too obvious, I know that she feels sorry for me, although I am tired, I don't dare to stop and rest, I am afraid that if there is a difference in time for a while, I will regret it for life.
Kun Yi saw what was in my heart, so he asked to take a break.
"Okay, let's rest in place for a while."
The snow was now lighter than before, and Kun and I found a fairly smooth stone, and Kun Yu swept the snow off it, and then we rested on it for a while.
We hadn't eaten anything since last night's dinner, and then we had been exhausted by climbing the mountain for so long early in the morning.
I opened the rations that Lian Hao gave us earlier, and there were dozens of snow-white steamed buns in it, as well as a few catties of jerky, fortunately, in addition to these, there were water bags, and I ate three steamed buns and some jerky with slightly warm water.
In five days, we will eat all the dry food, and Kun and I have to save a little bit, so as not to end up with nothing to eat.
It's just that I, who usually don't like meat, have completely lost interest in meat now, nibbling on the cold and stiff steamed buns, chewing in my mouth for a long time, and waiting until it has become soft and hot, I swallowed it.
After feeding the Five Organs Temple, the two of us continued on the road, and the place where Kun and I were going to be was relatively close, and it was finally there after walking for about an hour.
Xiao Ruan estimated that he had already sent someone to explore the road before the snow fell, so there was a simple tent in the spot where we needed to squat, but unfortunately this tent was now covered with snow, as if it would collapse after a while.
Kun swayed skillfully got the snow away, there are some artificially cut firewood outside this tent, only the layer covered by snow is not good, the bottom can still be used to make a fire, and then we walked in to take a look, and found that there was a pot, a few bowls and two quilts.
That's already good, with these things, Kun and I won't freeze to death.
"Princess, the human blood that this grass wants to use is mine, I am a rough person, and it is nothing to shed a little blood."
"Kun Xuan, I asked you to come with me, not to waste your blood in vain, don't forget that there are fierce beasts on this mountain, if you encounter it at that time, you have lost too much blood and have no strength, then who will protect me?"
Such a sentence successfully dispelled Kun Yu's thoughts, now counting the time, it is estimated that it is noon, this day is destined to be a difficult day, I don't know if the hundred miles and seven nights in this post station have woken up, and I don't know what Yuheng's current situation is.
I have to worry about this medicine again, and then I have to think about the situation under the mountain, and I am still quite anxious in my heart.
"Princess, neither of us slept well last night, let's go to bed early after we eat dry food, and then we'll be so tired."
Kun Yu's words are right, I have to keep my spirits up, otherwise I really can't bear the rest of the days.
The water in the water bag had already been drunk on the way to the place just now, Kun dragged out a clearing, and then ignited the firewood outside the tent, in fact, I don't feel cold now, I can even say that I still feel a little hot, but Kun Yu is not as lucky as me, her hands and feet have long been frozen, just now I gave her hand to breathe, it took a long time for her to regain some consciousness.
Kun Wei directly put the clean white snow into the kettle, and then put the kettle on top of the firewood, and after a while, the snow turned into boiling water, and then was packed into a water bag.
If Kun Yu didn't come with me, I might not have been able to think of these things at all, I would probably just go to sleep with my head covered, and then wake up to realize the problem of boiling water.
At this time, if you drink not hot water but vegetable soup, you only need to pick the most tender vegetable seedlings, and then add a little salt, only the simplest ingredients and seasonings are needed, you can achieve a bowl of touching vegetable soup, I really can't imagine that my current requirements are so low.
"Kun Yu, I don't seem to have asked you before, why did you stay by Yan Beishen's side as a secret guard?"
Kun Yu's age is actually not much different from me, at most a year or two older than me, but I am too far away from her, I only know that she was originally from Yuzhuang, and then she was transferred to the palace because she wanted to protect me.
I saw Kun Yu fiddling with the firewood, and then slowly began to talk about her past.
"Actually, I'm an outcast, I was originally sold back and forth in the hands of human traffickers, I don't know how many families I was sold, until I was five years old, I was sold to a big family as a child daughter-in-law, but the son of that family is a madman, he beat me at every turn, I couldn't stand it and fled, and then I was rescued by Heiduo, Heiduo's father was the guard of the king of the war, so Heiduo later became the lord's guard, and I naturally followed Heiduo into Yuzhuang."
I've heard the name Heiduo once or twice, it seems that he is a person who has been following Yan Beishen, but I have only seen him two or three times, once when I was following Yan Bei Shen, and the other was when I was by the palace bath, I really don't know much about this person.
"Is this Heiduo your master, and he seems to be quite important in Yuzhuang."
Kun Yu said, "My master is Heiduo's mother-in-law, it can be said that I and Heiduo are like brothers and sisters, but later Heiduo's father and mother died because of the relationship between the king, so Heiduo followed the lord, and the lord used him very much, but the people in our Yuzhuang don't know what Heiduo is doing, he is the most mysterious person in Yuzhuang." ”
It turns out that there are so many things I don't know, these people are all people who have followed Yan Beishen for many years, presumably their goal has always been to support Yan Bei Liao as the emperor, but now Yan Bei Shen is going to give up because of my relationship, if they know, I am afraid that they hate me to death in their hearts, Yan Bei Shen's plan is only known to me and Yu Heng, I don't know if those people will listen to Yan Bei Shen in the end.
It is not difficult for Yan Beishen to get away from Mo City and stay away from those intriguing people and things, but it should be very difficult to say goodbye to his brothers and subordinates who were born and died with him in the past, I thought about things too simple before, I was just unilaterally happy, but I forgot that this was a difficult choice for Yan Beishen.
When the hot water was drunk, the snow began to slowly thicken, and then it didn't take long for the burning wood to slowly dim, and Kun and I both got into the tent.
Kun dragged his clothes and got into the bed, but the bed was as cold as ice, and when I took off my coat and got in, I felt that the whole person was awake in an instant, but fortunately, the temperature in the bed was the same as the temperature on my body after a while.
I glanced at Kun Wei, who was shivering with cold at this time, and moved the quilt to her, then put my coat on top of her quilt, and put my hand under it to warm Kun Wei.
Kun Yu was probably tired, and she actually fell asleep in such a cold weather, but her lips were shaking all the time, and I touched her forehead, damn it, she had a high fever.
"Kun swaying, swaying." I tried to push her, but she still didn't wake up, so I immediately got up and put on my coat, and then lifted the quilt that Kun Yu couldn't cover warmly, and put the quilt that I had warmed over her, and then put her own quilt back on again.
Knowing that there were wild beasts on this snow-capped mountain, I also brought a dagger and a sleeve arrow for self-defense, and I cut a hole in my robe, tore off a large piece of cloth, poured hot water from the water bag on top of this broken step, and finally wrung it out and covered Kun's forehead.
It seems that since the last time Kun Yu was inexplicably poisoned, her body is not as strong as before, Kun Yu is a person who practices martial arts, and he shouldn't be so weak, and when we go down the mountain safely, I will definitely let the old woman check Kun Yu's body, but don't have any other problems.
That's it, I haven't slept this night, I'm afraid that Kun Yu will be in trouble if it gets hot again, so I tossed back and forth for most of the night, and after making sure that Kun Yu won't burn up again, I fell asleep on Kun in a daze.
"Princess, are you okay, don't be scared!"
The first thing I heard before waking up was Kun Wei's words, I opened my eyes and looked at Kun Wei, and then all the sleepy insects were chased away.
"Kun Wei, how are you feeling, are you getting better?" I'm such a fool, taking care of people and being able to fall asleep at the end, I'm really convinced of myself.
Kun shook his head, "I'm fine, if it wasn't for the princess taking care of me last night, I'm afraid I would have slept to death directly, but princess, you just slept all night without anything on your body, don't you feel cold?" ”
I put the back of my hand on Kun's forehead and probed, "It's okay, it didn't burn up, I'm fine, I have fire beads in my body, so the colder it is, the hotter it gets." ”
"Princess, I'm afraid this fire bead can't stay in your body anymore, if you go on like this, the cold will disappear completely, and your body will burn out one day."
Kun Xuan's words scared me, I never thought about this problem, and thought that having this thing in my body would be beneficial to me, thinking that in winter I was a mobile stove, but Kun Xuan's words were indeed reasonable.
It seems that after going down the mountain, this needs to see a doctor in addition to Kun and me.
