Chapter 269: The mountain road is difficult

It was getting darker, and the rain outside the cave seemed to be lighter. Zhang Zheng didn't know if the rain was really small, or if he was hallucinating.

Listening to the sound of crackling raindrops hitting the ground, the already physically and mentally exhausted body gradually lost control of its eyelids.

Leaned against the rock wall and fell asleep slowly. Today's experience can be described as meticulous and moving, not only for sons like Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian, who have not suffered much.

The same is true for the soldiers of the navy. The river will also be flooded, and even when the river is flooded, the scene is much more terrifying than the Lingqu.

But they have been stationed on Dajiang for many years, and they have a very clear understanding of Dajiang's temperament.

So every time the river is flooded, they will choose to avoid it. It was also the first time for them to face the flood so closely.

Gradually, snoring sounded in the cave. Among all the people present, there were only Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao, who seemed to be used to this kind of scene.

Seeing that everyone had already fallen asleep, the two came to the entrance of the cave. After wringing out the clothes on his body, he consciously began to keep vigil for everyone.

"Ahh In the middle of the night, Zhang Zheng suddenly sneezed, waking up Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao, who were sitting at the entrance of the cave.

However, the two of them didn't care, but their ears moved slightly. Hearing that Zhang Zheng's breathing was still even, he continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

The night passed quickly, and the heavy rain outside the cave stopped at some point. When Zhang Zheng opened his eyes, he was greeted by a thick fog that did not disperse.

The white mist occupied the entire cavity of the cave, making it impossible for Zhang Zheng's line of sight to look two meters away. Zhang Zheng's heart was a little flustered for a moment, and he turned his head to look over, fortunately, Li Chengqian was still by his side.

The soldiers also gradually woke up, but because of the fog, no one dared to act rashly.

"Prudence, Gao Ming, the rain has stopped, but the fog is getting back up, and we still can't move. Let's stay in the cave for a while and make plans. Brother Huang and I went to find some food to cushion everyone's stomachs first! Zhang Fusheng's voice came from the thick fog, but Zhang Zheng couldn't see him and Huang Jiahao.

Hearing this, he had to answer in the direction where the voice came from: "Trouble the two brothers!" After a sound sounded, there was no trace of Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao.

"Everyone stay where they are and don't move, be sure to stay with the robe next to you." Zhang Zheng shouted into the cavity where he couldn't see anything clearly.

With the memory of yesterday, I slowly groped my way to the entrance of the cave. It's just useless, the fog is too big and I can't see anything clearly.

Before he came, Zhang Zheng knew that the weather in Lingnan was strange, but he didn't expect it to be so strange. At least yesterday's heavy rain, and today's almost materialized fog.

Zhang Zheng has lived in Chang'an for more than ten years, and has never encountered such extreme weather in Chang'an. And now, the people have not yet fully set foot on the land of Lingnan.

Zhang Zheng guessed that he and the others should now be from the junction of Lingnan and Jiangnan, that is, the location of the middle section of Huguang.

Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao got back a few birds that looked like pheasants again, as well as a huge pig dragon.

Just like yesterday, it's still eaten raw. Even if the rain stopped now, there was no way for everyone to make a fire.

Because the fog was also water, the flint and steel were soaked in the thick fog before they were lit. Humid, this is Zhang Zheng's first impression of Lingnan.

It was almost noon, and the fog finally cleared a bit! At least the people in the cave were able to see their companions clearly.

Seeing that the fog had dispersed a little, Zhang Zheng came to the entrance of the cave again to take a look at the outside environment. Then he asked the soldiers in the cave: "Brothers, we must immediately find a suitable place to rest, the brothers are stationed in Jiangnan all year round to suppress Lingnan. Does any brother know where we are now, if there is a nearby city, or if there is a way to the nearest city? ”

"Uncle, my subordinates know!" As soon as Zhang Zheng finished speaking, a veteran who seemed to be not confused stood up and replied to Zhang Zheng.

"Oh?" A glimmer of hope rose in Zhang Zheng's heart, and he asked, "You know, come forward and speak." When the veteran heard this, he came to Zhang Zheng, and then replied to Zhang Zheng: "My subordinate was originally from Baling, and he followed the general to Lingnan when he was young. At that time, I also walked the Lingqu waterway, if my subordinates remembered correctly, we should be in the territory of Linyuan now. The subordinates know the direction of Linyuan County, but after so many years, they don't know if there is still a road in the mountains leading to the city. ”

"Okay, then you'll lead the way! Let's set off immediately and head to Linyuan to rest! Zhang Zheng waved his hand and made a decision.

At this time, no matter what the decision is, it is better to stay where you are and wait to die. And the waterway is impossible to walk, the river has just rained heavily, and the devil knows if there will be a mudslide.

Even if there were no mudslides, there were no roads along the river for people to walk on. In a deserted place like Lingnan, there is not even a village.

It would be nice if someone knew where to go to town.

"Yes, it's just that after many years, my subordinates don't dare to guarantee ......" Before the veteran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Zheng in an unquestioning voice: "It's okay, you just go in the right direction in your heart, we believe in you." ”

"Yes!" The veteran did not procrastinate when he heard this, and came to the entrance of the cave, and made a little discerning the direction through the mist.

Then he greeted everyone and walked in one direction. The mountains are densely forested, and there are no roads, so the soldiers use their blades to carve out a road on the spot.

Finally, near noon, everyone's eyes lit up. Because the group had climbed to the top of a hill, the fog had all cleared.

Although the sky is still gray and there is no sun, but without the obstruction of the fog, everyone's vision suddenly widens I don't know how many times!

"Let's go, this way!" The veteran stood on a boulder at the top of the hill to discern the direction, and once again led everyone in that direction and began to descend the mountain.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, but it's okay when you go up the mountain. At least I can easily grasp the vegetation on the mountain to borrow, although I am a little tired, but before I know it, I will reach the top of the mountain.

When they went down the mountain, it was different, everyone could only hold each other's hands tightly. Because Lingnan is different from the Guanzhong area, there is no road on the mountain, and the mountain is steep, so it is easy to fall and roll down the mountain if you are not careful.

And on this kind of mountain, once an accident happens, even Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao have no time to lend a hand.
