Between the snowy mountains and steep slopes, Liu Yuerong pulled the rope in Song Nan's hand and walked without saying a word, Song Nan's two legs were as tired as if they were filled with lead, and Liu Yuerong was obviously unable to keep up, but neither of them stopped, because not long ago, Liu Liu's angry scolding behind him was clearly audible, and Liu Liu had discovered the whereabouts of the two and was following closely behind him.

After going down the north slope, climbing over several mountain peaks, and finally after crossing a valley, Song Nan sat on the ground and gasped: "Miss Liu, it's not a way to go down like this, Brother Ling is chasing urgently, there are footprints on the snow, no matter what, I can't escape Brother Ling's pursuit." ”

Liu Yuerong's face turned pale, her body shook a little, and her chest rose and fell: "If you want to die, stop." ”

Song Nan said: "Miss Liu, I am very grateful that you care about my life or death, but if you continue like this, you will not be caught and killed by Brother Ling, and you will be tired to death; From below, it can be seen that the girl seems to be unwell, so let's do it, the girl stays to rest, and I run for my life, Brother Ling is here to chase me, not to chase you. ”

Liu Yuerong said coldly: "You don't want to run away with rhetoric, I didn't say it to save you, it's just another reason, I can't let you fall into the hands of my brother, and you don't want to escape from the palm of my hand." ”

Song Nan smiled bitterly: "What's the problem, you can't run away if you let me run now, where can I run in this icy and snowy mountain?" We walked from morning to afternoon, leaving the valley and climbing several mountains, without food or drink, and without any strength in our bodies, so let's find a place to rest, eat something and then go. Brother Ling may not be able to find us if he hides. ”

Liu Yuerong looked around, frowned, and said, "Where to hide?" ”

Song Nan looked around, pointed to a mountain wall not far away, and said, "It seems to be a rock crevice over there, why don't we go there and hide." ”

Liu Yuerong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's up to you." ”

Song Nan was overjoyed, got up and broke a pine branch, swept the footprints behind him, and frowned: "This trace can still be seen, I hope God can make a snow and cover up our footprints." ”

Liu Yuerong sneered: "Do you want to snow?" Who do you think you are? ”

Song Nan looked up at the sky, the sky was gloomy and gray, and the clouds seemed to be supported by the surrounding mountain tops, which was really depressing; Suddenly, he felt a chill on the bridge of his nose, Song Nan hurriedly stretched out his hand in the air, and after a while, a few thin snowflakes fell on his palm.

"Haha, sure enough, it's snowing, it's really face-saving."

Liu Yuerong was stunned, and when she saw Song Nan's hippie smile, she snorted, and went to the rock crevice first; Song Nan smiled, followed behind and swept the footprints with pine branches, stepped into a small spruce forest above the valley, and walked through the edge of the trees to the cracked mountain wall.

The two climbed into the cracks, and found that this was a good place, the mountain walls on both sides supported each other in a herringbone shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, except for some potholes on the ground, but two people could lie down, and the top was bridged, there would be no rain and snow, the ground was still very dry, but there was a bit of a fishy smell, and there were a lot of feces on the ground, obviously there were mountain animals who often came here to hide.

Song Nan sat on the ground and sighed, "Good place, I'll sleep here tonight." ”

Liu Yuerong sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave and didn't speak, her face became more and more pale and ugly, watching the snowflakes falling bigger and bigger outside the cave, and Xiumei frowned tightly.

Song Nan leaned against the cave wall to rest for a while, the sweat on his body began to condense, his body began to chill, his stomach was empty, and his mouth was dry and about to burst into flames; couldn't help but look at Liu Yuerong, wanting to ask Liu Yuerong if she had any dry food flint or something, but she saw Liu Yuerong sitting at the entrance of the cave, her face reflecting the ice and snow outside the cave, but it was a fiery red, and her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be opened, looking extremely depressed.

Song Nan was startled, got up and walked to Liu Yuerong's side, stretched out his hand and put his back on her forehead, Liu Yuerong woke up, pulled out a short knife and said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

Song Nan spread his hands and said, "Don't be excited, Miss Liu, you are having a high fever, are you very cold." ”

Liu Yuerong said: "So what? If you dare to be rude, I will kill you anyway. ”

Song Nan was speechless, and walked out of the cave, Liu Yuerong shouted, "Why are you going?" ”

Song Nan said: "I'll go find some firewood to make a fire, we are all sweaty, we have to dry it, otherwise we will all freeze to death tonight; Also, you have to find something to eat and boil some water to drink; Do you have dry food and water flint on you? ”

Liu Yuerong shook her head blankly, and Song Nan sighed and said, "Then you lean on the cave wall to rest, and I'll find a way." ”

Song Nan turned around and walked out of the hole, Liu Yuerong opened her mouth, and finally didn't speak, Song Nan walked a few steps away, suddenly reached out and tore off a ball of cloth from the underwear on her body, bent down and grabbed a ball of snow and stuffed it into a round ball into the hole and handed it to Liu Yuerong.

Liu Yuerong said: "What to do?" ”

Song Nan said: "You have a fever, put this on your forehead to reduce the fever." ”

Liu Yuerong shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it." ”

Song Nan put the snowball on the ground, turned around and walked out, and threw it over: "You can do it, anyway, if you get sick and die, I will definitely bury you alive." ”

Liu Yuerong was stunned for a moment, and her face changed color and said, "I must kill you before I die." ”

Song Nan didn't look back and said, "Are you sure you can kill me?" If you want to kill me, it's better to take care of your body. ”

Song Nan's rustling footsteps walked away, Liu Yuerong was stunned for a long time, looking at the snowball wrapped in cloth on the ground, and finally reached out and picked it up, and slowly put it on her forehead, the cold snowball made her fiery forehead clear, and she felt much better. Liu Yuerong knew that she was really sick, heart disease and hard life in the mountains, she didn't sleep all night last night and suffered from the wind and cold, and even the bones on her body were sore, she gritted her teeth and persevered along the way, and when she relaxed at the moment, she was drowsy and wanted to sleep.

"Can't sleep, can't sleep." Liu Yuerong told herself. But after a while, his eyelids were as heavy as lead, and he finally fell asleep.

……

I don't know how long it took, Liu Yuerong felt a warmth on her body, smelled the fragrance of burning pine needles at the end of her nose, and sat up abruptly in shock; A pile of flames was burning in front of him, and Song Nan by the fire was burying his head in sorting out the firewood, and when he saw Liu Yuerong wake up, he looked over with a smile and said, "Wake up, how do you feel?" ”

Liu Yuerong touched her waist and shouted, "What about the knife, where is my knife." ”

Song Nanyang raised his hand, the shiny short knife was in his hand, Liu Yuerong's heart was cold, and she said quietly: "What do you want?" ”

Song Nan smiled: "I'm just borrowing your knife for a while, do you want me to chop wood with the palm of my hand?" I'll give it back to you when it's gone. ”

Liu Yuerong sighed and turned her head to look outside the cave, it was almost dark outside, large snowflakes were falling, and the snow at the entrance of the cave was already very thick.

"I ...... How long I slept. ”

"Hmm...... Two hours, maybe not, there is no shift here, otherwise I can give you an accurate time. ”

"You made a fire?"

"Yes, could it be that you got up in a dream and started a fire?" Song Nan continued to be busy.

"You have flint?"

"No, but it doesn't bother me, there is a method called drilling wood for fire, and this method is the one I use, and it took me a lot of time."

Liu Yuerong was silent for a long time, and wanted to get up, but Song Nan hurriedly said: "You are really sick, if you die, lie down and rest, come, drink hot tea." Song Nan handed over a bamboo tube, which was steaming and fragrant.

"Where did you get the bamboo cup, what kind of tea is here?" Liu Yuerong was quite surprised, this Song Nan is a senior official of the imperial court, why is it so natural to do these things, it seems that she is very familiar.

"Count us lucky, there is a small bamboo forest at the bottom of the valley, I cut one and made a few cups...... It is a pine needle tea, which is a little bitter but rich in vitamin C. ”

"What?"

“…… Anyway, it's good for you, but it's not enough, I'm going to go out and get some pine needles to make the bed, or we'll all freeze to death at night, and besides, I'll need to get some food, or I'll starve to death." ”

Song Nan stood up and said, "Please take care of the fire, add some firewood at any time, I'll come when I go out." ”

Liu Yuerong nodded, watching Song Nan drag his tired body out of the cave, her throat moved, and she whispered: "Be careful!" ”

Song Nan's muscles twitched behind his ears, obviously laughing.
