The snow was too big and too deep for them to set off for the time being.

I can only live in this small mountain village temporarily.

This small mountain village is not large, with only six families in total.

At first, the village chief and the strong men in the village did not allow them to enter the village, and when they saw the men and horses and weapons of Qin Shuhuang and his party, they felt that it was difficult to win with fewer enemies, so they had to agree to their stay.

Before staying at the hotel, the village chief agreed with Liu Renci that the people in the village would only guarantee their accommodation, not food, or money!

Soon, Qin Shuhuang and the others lived in a small mountain village and understood why the village chief said this.

Because this place is barren and far away from the surrounding counties and towns, there is no place to obtain supplies.

The nearest county seat to the small mountain village is sixty miles away, and it takes a day and a night to go back and forth without sleep.

Now that the road is closed by heavy snow, there is no way to go to the county seat at all, let alone buy supplies.

You can't use any money!

There are few people in the village, and the food stored by each family is also very limited, if Bao Qin Shuhuang's team eats, I am afraid that the grain of these families will be eaten in a few days......

Naturally, this will not be able to provide them with food.

Liu Renci allocated a place to stay, and although the people in the village vacated the empty houses, they all looked at them defensively, fearing that they would steal food, and every family received the food into the house where they lived, and if they wanted to eat their food, they were afraid that they would not be killed.

Qin Shuhuang and his entourage couldn't do such a thing.

Although they don't have much supplies, they are not yet at the point of robbing the people.

In the evening, the guards asked the owner of the house to borrow the kitchen, Xie Xuanye sent someone to pick up some firewood nearby, and made steamed buns with porridge with the rice and noodles they brought.

Each person was given a steamed bun and a bowl of multigrain porridge that was not very thick.

Xie Xuanye handed a boiled egg to Qin Shuhuang, who took it and put it in Liu Renci's bowl on the side.

Liu Renci is the oldest, his body is not as good as that of young people, after half a month, the old man is dry and thin, and his hands, feet and ears are frostbitten, fortunately, Qin Shuhuang has good medical skills, and he recuperates Liu Renci from time to time, otherwise in such an extremely cold weather, Liu Renci is afraid that he will not be able to reach Xia Gongcheng.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang gave the only remaining egg to Liu Renci, Xie Xuanye narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.

Liu Renci wanted to return the eggs to Qin Shuhuang, but was stopped by Qin Shuhuang, "Uncle Liu, you eat, you are losing money, you need to eat more, just an egg, and when you get to Xia Gongcheng, I can eat as much as I want." ”

Hearing Qin Shuhuang say this, Liu Renci's heart was hot, and he didn't refuse.

Qin Shuhuang broke half of his steamed bun and gave it to Xie Xuanye, "I eat less, I waste more, Xuancang, you eat this half of the steamed bun!" ”

Xie Xuanye took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, didn't say anything, but looked at Qin Shuhuang's eyes more and more profound.

Shilan also quietly gave He Yutian half a steamed bun, He Yutian didn't want it, was glared at by Shilan, and stuffed it into his mouth as if he was ruthless.

Luda sighed as he gnawed on his steamed buns, and whispered to He Yutian in a sour voice: "Brother He, how does it feel like to be hurt by a woman?" ”

He Yutian chewed half of the steamed bun in his mouth vigorously and muttered, "When I get to Xia Gongcheng, I will buy all the things Shilan likes to eat for her!" ”

Ruda patted He Yutian on the shoulder encouragingly.

On such a cold day, after drinking a bowl of gruel and eating a steamed bun, even a woman is only half full, but in order to save food, she can't eat anymore.

Long Jia came over to report the material situation.

"Your Highness, Lord Liu, we can eat the rest of the food for two days at most......"

This is still calculated according to the minimum daily consumption of each person......

If you eat with your belly open, you won't have enough food for a single meal......

When she was in southern Xinjiang before, Qin Shuhuang asked Ye Xuan to transport food to help all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, but she didn't expect that in the north, she would also have a shortage of food.

It's really feng shui in turn, and this year it's her turn.

Hearing the news, Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renci both fell silent.

After a long while, Qin Shuhuang said: "Okay, no matter what, we have a place to settle down tonight, we can rest assured that we can sleep peacefully, everyone will rest tonight, and as for the rest, we will discuss it tomorrow." ”

After a long drive in the wind and snow, everyone needs to rest.

After Qin Shuhuang said this, he dispersed, Xie Xuanye assigned the people who kept vigil, and all the rest went back to the room to sleep.

The room is limited, and the firewood for heating is also limited, and even Qin Shuhuang does not have a room for one person.

All the women in the team were in Qin Shuhuang's room, everyone slept together, Shilan used a twine to draw a curtain for Qin Shuhuang to separate it from the others, and Shilan slept outside the curtain, guarding Qin Shuhuang.

It's the same with the men.

Qin Shuhuang unfolded his palm, and there was an oval, hot egg lying inside.

It was secretly stuffed to her by Xie Xuanye just before entering the house.

After stuffing it into her, she also glanced at Qin Shuhuang warningly, obviously telling her to eat it herself and not give it to others.

It seems that her brother left her two eggs, knowing that she would not eat alone in front of everyone, so he deliberately only gave her one and left one for her in private.

Qin Shuhuang held the egg, absorbed the temperature on the egg, waited for the egg to become only slightly hot, peeled the shell, and ate the egg that Xie Xuanye left her in small bites.

After eating, Qin Shuhuang lay on the bunk, staring at the old roof and thinking about how to get food under such circumstances.

Robbing the people of the village?

Not to mention that she can't do this kind of thing, even if she robs the people's food, she won't be able to last for a few days, the people here are poor, and the food they hoard by themselves may not be able to survive this winter.

What can you do if you don't grab food?

Qin Shuhuang felt that his eyelids were fighting when he thought about it, he had been walking in the wind and snow for more than a day, and he was already exhausted, and Shilan, who was sleeping next to him, had already fallen asleep, and his breathing had already become long.

Some of the women in the room also snored.

In this environment, Qin Shuhuang soon couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden burst of dog barking, one after another, and it didn't stop for a long time.

even woke up Qin Shuhuang who was in deep sleep.

Qin Shuhuang, who woke up, asked Shilan, who had already sat up, "Shilan, let people go out and ask what's going on?" ”

Shilan lifted the curtain, "Your Highness, don't worry, the slave has already asked people to ask, and it is estimated that there will be news in a while." ”

With that, the maid in charge of the vigil had returned.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Captain He took the village chief to see it in person, nothing happened, it was the dog raised in the village, and the avalanche in the back mountain near the village caused the dog to bark." The maid who went to listen said.

After the maid finished speaking, Shilan waved her hand to let her leave.

Because of the experience in his previous life, Qin Shuhuang has a shadow on dogs.

Hearing this, Rao was not in any danger to her, or did she wake up completely frightened.

She breathed a sigh of relief to calm her nerves.

Then he shrunk into the corner, his arms around his knees.

In her previous life, she was locked up, and the half-dead memory of being bitten by a dog at the end continued to drill into her mind.

Bai Lingge stared at her with demonic eyes, and the sound of laughter seemed to echo in her ears.

She said:

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you have never seen so many dogs!"

"Look, they're all staring at you!"

"I've been starving them for three days, and you said I'd release them later, wouldn't they eat you!"

"These two dogs look a bit like wolves, they were specially brought by the Hong Dynasty, it is said that they are a breed from the north, and they have been fed raw meat since they were children, and they are actually more cruel than wolves."

"Well, look, they're being released, here they are! Yikes! The two dogs running in front are the dogs from the Hong Dynasty, how majestic, like Alaskan blood! In the past, Alaska was with us, but it was specialized in sledding, and it was better than cattle and horses in the Arctic! ”
