Han Changdui shrunk his neck and looked up at the starry sky.

Looking at the route of the baggage team in front, it seems that it is going to the direction of the Luntai of the Guizi Kingdom.

He felt a pang in his heart, Luntai, wasn't that the destination of Li Yushan and his party?

Something seemed to pull him towards the place.

He turned his head to look at Yao Qi, who was asleep.

Perhaps Li Yushan's body hides secrets closely related to Yao Qi.

There was no word all night, the morning sun was bright but cold, and the wind blew through the bare skin like a knife quenched with ice.

In just a short moment, countless tiny small openings opened on the skin, and at first I didn't feel anything, but when the cold wind grew stronger and the air became drier, blood oozed from the small openings, and the pain of a knife cutting and pinprick was dense and pervasive.

Yao Qi was dressed neatly, wrapped thick and warm, and carefully applied a thick layer of paste on his hands before putting on gloves.

Gu Chen probed and asked curiously, "Ah Qi, what is this?" ”

Yao Qi raised the small round bowl half the size of a palm, and said with a triumphant smile: "The hand balm I made myself is anti-freezing and anti-cracking, do you want to try it." ”

Gu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand, and as soon as he touched the edge of the small round bowl, a hand stretched out on the side and smoothed the small round bowl.

"Does that work? I'll try. Han Changdui turned the small round bowl with a smile.

Gu Chen was stunned, watched Han Changdui wipe his hands slowly, finished wiping, and put the small round bowl into his sleeve.

Yao Qi was stunned for a long time before he said helplessly: "Childe, that's mine." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "I'll keep it for you." ”

“......”

Several people were silent, laughing and shaking.

Walking over the cliffs, the wilderness of a flat river in front of you, walking here, the sand is sparse, the yellow vegetation gradually increases, and the frozen stream is quiet in the ravine, surrounded by a faint white mist.

When they arrived at the foot of the majestic Silver Mountain, the baggage team had already left, leaving behind extremely deep rut marks.

On the trunk of the poplar tree, which has lost its leaves, there are marks left by Meng Sui.

Han Changdui looked up.

The entire silver mountain was covered in snow, and the sun shimmered with a dazzling silver light.

At the foot of the mountain, the snow was thin and the dark brown rocks and dirt were exposed, frozen to the core, and it was hard to step on.

According to the map, to go to the Wheel of Qiuzi Country, you have to cross the Silver Mountain and cross an unknown river.

The river is extremely deep and cold, the waves are turbulent, and boats often capsize.

At this time, the silver mountain is covered with snow, the snow is knee-high, the river is frozen, and it is impossible to cross the river on horseback, so you can only lead the horse.

Walking all the way down in this way, it is very easy for cold to enter the body and leave the root of the disease.

He turned his head to look at the group of people behind him, all of them were very tightly wrapped, and urged the horse to Yao Qi's side, he asked softly, "Ah Qi, do you still have that tarpulin?" ”

Yao Qi was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you going to go over the mountain, what do you want a tarp for?" ”

Xie Mengxia walked over and sighed with a sad face: "Ah Qi, when you turned over the Greedy Sweat Mountain, you were in a coma, of course you don't know anything, let me tell you, the bottom of the mountain is better, the snow has just wiped the surface of the boots, you can go up from the mountainside, the snow is knee-high, straight into the boots, you can't walk a few steps, the boots and clothes have to be soaked, and the cold is biting." ”

Han Changwan nodded: "Yes, the cold air enters the body, and it is easy to leave the root of the disease." ”

Yao Ji didn't speak, neatly shook off the burden, cut the large piece of tarpaulin to the right size, sewed a few stitches with thick needles and large threads, made something similar to leggings, put it on the legs, and tied it tightly with a rope from top to bottom a few times, and even the boots of the leather boots were also put in the leggings, and the boots were tightly tied.

Xie Mengxia patted his thigh and nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay now, no matter how deep the snow is, it won't be able to fill the boots." ”

After making preparations, the group rode up the mountain.

Gu Chen and Wang Xian were at the forefront to explore the way, one of them swept a shovel to remove the snow, and the snow revealed a narrow sheep intestine path, and the other waved a knife to cut off the dead branches that were slanting out horizontally.

When he was almost halfway up the mountain, Wang Xian cleaned up the floating snow and dead branches and leaves all over the ground, and suddenly exclaimed.

Gu Chen hurriedly came over to take a look, and then said in surprise: "How can there be this in the mountains." ”

A few people urged the horse to come over and take a look, and there was a trap buried in the snow, and with a flick of the branch, the clip bit the branch fiercely, and the sharp teeth hooked into the branch.

Xie Mengxia felt that his leg hurt and touched his ankle: "If this comes up like this on a human leg, then don't bite the bone." ”

Yao Qi was puzzled: "Is there a hunter in this mountain?" ”

The fact that Xie Mengxia was once taken away by a wolf is no secret among these people, Gu Chen looked at Xie Mengxia with great courage and smiled: "I'm afraid it's used to catch wolves." ”

"Really, you can scare me." Xie Mengxia shrank his neck, his weak body appeared, and he stretched out his hand to reach Han Changdu's sleeve, and hummed delicately: "Jiuchao, you have to protect me." ”

Everyone was speechless and turned their heads.

Han Changwan broke Xie Mengxia's hand with a look of disgust, looked deeply at the bare jungle, and said solemnly: "This is not used to hunt beasts, this is used to catch people, it is rumored that there are many bandits in Yinshan, we are afraid that we will encounter robbery." ”

Yao raised his eyebrows.

What's so terrible about robbing the road, they have a Hades in charge, if they really meet it, maybe who will rob whom.

Han Changwan rubbed his eyebrows in distress: "All cheer up, they are in the dark, we are in the light, the terrain is unfamiliar, and the current situation is very unfavorable to us." ”

Several people became solemn and serious, even Xie Mengxia didn't laugh anymore, his legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, and walked forward cautiously.

After walking for two or three hours, he stopped to rest, used some cold flax cakes, poured a stomach of cold water, and then turned over and walked forward.

When I reached the top of the mountain, the knee-deep snow was extremely difficult to walk, and my legs were sunk in the snow, and I had to use all my strength to pull them out.

The legs were tied with dense waterproof leggings, and although the snow could not penetrate the boots, and the half-melted snow could not soak the trouser legs, the chill was still pressing.

Everyone is surrounded by a faint white mist, which has a fluttering artistic conception.

The mountains were extremely quiet, and the creaking sound of stepping on the snow alarmed the birds, and they fluttered into the sky.

Gu Chen, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and gestured backwards.

Wang Xian hurriedly led the horse and walked over.

I saw that there were blood stains on the snow for miles, melting the thick snow into deep pits.

On the side near the dense forest, the snow was trampled into mud, and there were some unreclusable swords scattered with trails of drag mixed with blood, all the way into the dense forest.

The forest was quiet and cold, the trees had lost their leaves, and the snow was very thick, winding into small snow-white slopes.

The twilight of twilight with a dim color fell on the hill, shining silver, and the shadow cast on the back of the hill, and a dozen people hid in the shadow.

The group of people hiding in the forest, including Hu and Han, were mostly wearing shabby jackets, and the cotton wool was exposed one by one, shivering from the cold, and they were crowded together to keep warm.

Only the big boss and the second boss wore sheep furs, and they were all dirty.

Among them, the big boss is a one-eyed man in his forties, and the second boss is a young man who is Sven, which is particularly eye-catching.

The big boss looked at Han Changdui and the group intently, and the second boss with a rough voice: "Second brother, the group of people who passed in front of us, we are not opponents, I think this group of people is okay, all of them look thin, and they can be poked down with one finger." ”

The second master hesitated, although this group of people looked thin, but all of them were tendon meat, breathing long, stepping on knee-deep snow, and the lower plate was still stable, and there was no staggering.

He slowly exhaled a breath of pale white mist, and hesitated: "Big brother, let's wait and see, I don't think this group of people is easy to deal with." ”

The big boss said in a rough voice: "Second brother, since we arrested the Han King and took him to Luntai, he has either eaten vegetarian or meat along the way, either the bed is too hard or the carriage is too bumpy, and he is looking for things endlessly, and the silver has gone to the sea, and if we don't rob a big vote, our brothers can't even drink the northwest wind." ”

The second master's face sank, and he said: "Big brother, if they enter the trap in the forest, let's do it, if they don't come in, forget it, and wait for the next vote." ”

The big boss has always been the most convinced of the second master, and when he heard this saying so cautiously, he no longer insisted, nodded, and whispered in a rough voice: "Okay, just listen to the second brother." ”

Gu Chen and Wang Xian followed the trail of drag and looked at the dense forest, and as soon as they took a step, Gu Chen grabbed Wang Xian: "Don't go over." ”

Wang Xian was stunned for a moment and stopped.

Han Changdui led the horse and walked over, looking at the messy marks on the ground, only blood stains and swords scattered in the dense forest, but there was not a single corpse.

There is a raised cliff wall next to the road, which forms a narrow shelter from the wind.

He looked at the sky and thought for a moment: "It's almost dark, don't go forward, just rest there for a night, and hurry again tomorrow morning." He paused for a moment and cautiously ordered: "Gu Chen, Wang Xian Chen Qi, the three of you go to collect firewood, don't go into the forest, just pick it up outside." ”

After arranging these things, Han Changwan took a closer look at the cliff, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he drove the horses to the edge of the dense forest with Yao Qi, fed the grain, and cleaned up the space under the cliff.

The eyes of the people behind the undulating snow slopes were round, and watching Gu Chen and the three of them collect firewood at the edge of the dense forest, it was as if they saw fat sheep pounce on them.

The dense forest has the most dead branches, and it is relatively dry, which is the most suitable for lighting a campfire.

These people are no bigger than the bandits, and the guys in their hands are not very handy, so they have to bury a lot of traps in the dense forest, planning to come and wait for the fat sheep, waiting for the fat sheep who don't know the truth to deliver to the door.
