Chapter 43: Hardship

"Ning'er, why don't you rest in place?" Fan Gao walked to Luo Ning's side and asked, Fan Gao, who had a martial arts temperament, seemed to have tighter muscles on his body after drinking two bowls of snake blood, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength.

"Uncle, half of the giant snakes in this situation are almost one-on-one, do you think we can clean up if there is another giant snake?" Luo Ning frowned slightly.

"I can't clean it up." Fan Gao nodded and said, don't look at everyone's spirit now, it seems that everyone's spirit has recovered, but Luo Ning has used all his strength when he met the giant snake just now, and it is estimated that his body is still weak now, after all, a girl's family has encountered such a terrifying monster.

In Luo Yuan's behavior, Fan Gao secretly praised himself, but Luo Yuan's strength is not much left, if a giant snake and Luo Ning Luo Yuan are fighting, the two of them have exhausted their old strength and new strength has not been born, if at this time they encounter a big snake The strength that has just been relieved will soon be exhausted, and then it will inevitably fall into a bitter battle, at that time, their three thousand five hundred people have not all become the food of the giant snake?

Although this is only a possibility, if it does, it will be annihilated. Therefore, Fan Gao and Luo Ning can't afford to gamble, so they would rather choose to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

The detachment of 3,500 men quickly left and continued to advance in the vast mountains. Sure enough, not long after the three thousand five hundred people left, a sound of Suo Suo appeared in the place where the snake was slaughtered, and after a ghost crying wolf, the sound of Xi Suo Suo continued to sound and disappeared without a trace, Luo Ning and the group continued to move forward along the map in order, although the mountain road was not very easy to walk, but because of the front and back of Fan Gao's father and son, with Luo Ning and Luo Yuan's brothers, and with Qian'er's logistics support, this road was also smooth. The most important thing is that Luo Ning's five hundred veterans have walked through this vast deep mountain, what is the old man is a treasure, at this time the treasure is reflected, with the old horse who knows the map, whether it is a muddy swamp or a terrifying natural trap, everything can only be said to be a paper tiger in front of the old man who has real life experience.

"Brother Dongfang!" The moon and stars are scarce, and it is the seventh and seventh of the year, and the beautiful Milky Way seems to be particularly beautiful because of the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Dongfang Ming stood quietly in front of the tent, looking up at the starry sky, and seemed to be four years away.

"Brother Dongfang!" Princess Changning pouted and said, these days she can be annoyed by that Murong general's entanglement, but even if that Murong general was invited by the prince today, she had time to come to Dongfang Ming.

"Is there anything wrong with the princess?" Dongfang Ming was too lazy to ask, it seemed that it was because the princess disturbed his mood and made his heart very unhappy.

"Brother Dongfang, you see that today is Tanabata, and you don't accompany others." Princess Changning said with a sigh of relief.

"Changning, since you know that it is Qixi Festival, you should go to accompany General Murong instead of coming over to disturb me!" Dongfang Ming's face was slightly ugly, he didn't even look at Princess Changning, and his figure disappeared into the night sky with a shock.

"Nasty!" Changning's little feet stomped fiercely, his red mouth pouted gently, and his face was very ugly. "Damn Murong Lang, just because you guessed that Brother Dongfang misunderstood me." Princess Changning said viciously, but her face was a little hideous.

In the vast mountains and forests, Luo Ning and her army marched with difficulty, whether it was a trap or a poisonous insect, even if there was an old horse with a good picture and a clever doctor like Luo Ning, but accidents still kept happening, and 3,500 people had been killed by various accidents, but these people could only continue to move forward after burying the bodies of their comrades.

But the difficulty that appeared in front of Luo Ning today was the rushing river in front of him, and no one thought that there was such a winding river in the deep mountains. The surface of the river is very calm, and even glows with silver in the sunlight.

"Sister, what can I do?" Luo Yuan couldn't help frowning as he looked at the big river.

Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what is the house leak that happened to rain overnight, it is now in their situation, the unknown danger is the most dangerous, who knows what is in this river in the vast deep mountains?

"Luo Yuan, you go and cut down a dozen big trees, the mouth of the bowl is so thick, by the way, find the rope we brought, it's really not okay to find some trees and vines to explain." Luo Ning frowned and looked at the big river in front of him and ordered.

"Good!" Luo Yuan hurriedly agreed.

"I'll go find the vines, that way it will be faster!" Fan He stood behind Luo Yuan and said angrily.

"Good!" Luo Yuan hurriedly replied.

Someone will do the work, and in a short time the vines and trees will be ready.

"Overseer, you're going to set up a raft!" A veteran who had lived in the water stepped forward and said to Luo Ning, in fact, these soldiers had guessed that Luo Ning should be a daughter, and Luo Yuan shouted his sister that day, which had already made everyone suspicious, not to mention that Qian'er and Luo Ning sometimes sneakily left the team, these people naturally did what the two of them did, but everyone had long been impressed by Luo Ning's courage, and they didn't feel how embarrassed it was to be led by a woman, not to mention that General Fan listened to the supervision of the army.

"yes!" Luo Ning nodded.

"I'll give this to me, I've begged for a living in the water before, this is my!" The veteran patted his chest happily and said, being able to do something for Luo Ning, the veteran felt that his face was very bright.

"Then you'll have to work for you." Luo Ning also laughed all of a sudden, although he knew that the raft could cross the river, but he didn't understand how to tie the raft.

After some temptation, Luo Ning finally figured out the situation of this big river. The water is not deep, probably waist-high, but it is cold and biting, except for those who have internal strength who can float across the river, the rest of the people are better to take a raft to cross the river safely, Luo Ning simply asked everyone to connect the raft, she was the first to jump into the water, resisted the raft on her shoulder to stabilize, and let everyone walk over her shoulder.

"Prison Army, you can't!" The soldier's tears were about to fall.

"Overseer, let's come!" The father and son of the Fan family and Luo Yuanqian'er jumped into the river without saying a word, and put the wooden raft on their shoulders.

"Here we go!" More and more soldiers jumped into the river.

"What are you waiting for? Don't hurry over, those who don't have internal strength have to take turns to go down the river, and everyone is not allowed to be in the river for more than half a pillar of incense. Luo Ning shouted loudly.

"Let's go, cross the river!" Some knowledgeable veterans fell down and stepped on the wooden raft that Luo Ning and they carried, you must know that the slower they crossed the river, the longer Luo Ning carried them in the cold water, after all, Luo Ning is daughter's house, if it freezes, how can these veterans bear it.

"Quick, quick!" Under the continuous urging of everyone, 3,500 people crossed the river quickly, some soldiers kept jumping into the water to replace the group of people who were already frozen, and the people who went into the water were constantly dragged up by everyone and pulled to the fire on the opposite bank to roast the fire, Luo Ning's previous snake blood wine can play a role now, everyone who went ashore was poured a mouthful by Qian'er, and Qian'er insisted on holding on to the water for about a bowl of tea before being brought ashore by Luo Ning to deal with the rest of the matter.

Half an hour later, an army of 3,500 men and horses walked across the pontoon bridge, Luo Ning first commanded the soldiers to go ashore to rest, and then let the Fan family father and son leave the riverbank, and finally walked to the other side of the river by himself.

"Miss!" Qian'er stepped forward and grabbed Luo Ning, Luo Ning's lips were already white from the cold.

"Leave me alone, I'll go rest first!" Luo Ning hurriedly walked to the tent that had been set up, because of the river, his figure was already faintly visible, although these people already knew that Luo Ning was a daughter, but Luo Ning still felt embarrassed.

Forcibly crossing the river, so that the main force of this team is already physically and mentally exhausted, Luo Ning had no choice but to let the army rest on the river for a day, the forest at night is exceptionally beautiful, the stars in the sky are also exceptionally bright, today is the night of Valentine's Day in China. Luo Ning stood by the river, looking at the calm river, but he couldn't express the emotion in his heart.

"Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl.

Slender hands, zaza lanes.

All day long, sobbing like rain.

The river is clear and shallow, and it is a little different.

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent. ”

What Luo Ning didn't expect was that at the same time, in the same world, Dongfang Ming plunged into the icy river, and after being quiet, Dongfang Ming looked up at the starry sky and said these few lines of poetry to God. "Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent!" The two couldn't help but be stupid, one looked at the calm river, and the other looked up at the starry sky in the river.

"Miss, it's cold at night, add an extra piece of clothing!" Qian'er opened the cloak in her hand and wrapped it around Luo Ning.

"Why are you here?" Luo Ning smiled slightly, tightened the cloak with his hand, the cold air in the river still hurt Luo Ning a little, if it was not for the snake blood wine blended by the big snake before, Luo Ning's strength would have to regress a little.

"Miss, I'm ......" Qian'er had teary eyes, and she seemed to be unable to say something.

"Okay, I know, Qian'er, your strength is not enough, and your daughter is already afraid of cold, if you are forced to stay in that river for a long time, you will at least be seriously ill." Luo Ning stretched out her hand and patted Qian'er's shoulder.

"But Miss, you ......" Qian'er's eyes turned red.

"I won't get seriously ill, as long as I drink a little more snake blood wine, warm my body a little more, and use my internal force to force out all the cold poison in my body, I'll be fine." Luo Ning smiled.

"Are you really okay?" Qian'er's eyes widened.

"It's really fine, maybe I'll be a blessing in disguise." There was a faint smile on the corner of Luo Ning's mouth.
