Chapter 189: Reunion
The four of them got off the horses, Chu Lian led the two horses together, and asked Wu Lihan to help Narisong to stand in a position to block the wind, and then she took out the food she had brought out from the cloth bag on the horse.
The four of them leaned on the horses, tried their best to absorb the temperature of the horses, divided the food, and forced them to eat to save their strength.
Chu Lian poured a mouthful of goat's milk, and while a few people were eating, he told them about the methods he wanted to use.
Originally, Muren had eaten well, but after hearing Chu Lian's method, his eyes widened in surprise.
He hurriedly said: "Sister Chu, no, these two horses are our last reliance, without them, we wouldn't be able to get out of this snowfield with our 'legs'!"
Of course, Chu Lian knew that what Mu Ren said was the truth, she took a deep breath of cold and biting air, stretched out her hand to 'touch' the horse leaning behind her, and sighed, "Mu Ren, you take a good look at this horse, even if we don't use this method, I'm afraid these two horses won't survive tomorrow morning." ”
Moreover, the horses had to eat food, and they were in a hurry, and because of Urihan's miscalculation, they did not have food and grass for the horses.
Without food and grass, the horses won't last long, not to mention that the situation of these two horses is not good at all right now.
Muren turned his head to look at the horse behind them, he reached out and gently 'touched' it, the horse's body trembled, and his expression was sorrowful, which was obviously not a long-term omen. He is a man who lives on the grassland, and he lives as a nomad, and he loves horses and sheep the most, and he will never hurt a horse unless he has to.
Muren closed his eyes in some pain and nodded, at this time, he also understood that killing these two horses might be their best choice at this time, and only in this way could they survive when it cooled down tonight.
Chu Lian was relieved to see that he persuaded Mu Ren, horses are 'sexual', how can Chu Lian want to do this unless he has to.
Looking up at the snow-white edge that could not be seen, the sky was getting darker and darker, Chu Lian stuffed the last bite of dried 'meat' into his mouth, and said, "Let's start after eating." ”
Mu Ren clenched his fists and nodded, and during the meal, Mu Ren had already explained Chu Lian's method to his mother and younger brother.
Wu Lihan is much calmer than his son, although Chu Lian's method can only solve the urgent need, the situation they will face tomorrow morning will definitely not be much better than now, but if they don't use this method, they will be frozen to death tonight.
After everyone agreed, they began to prepare things, fortunately, there were two long knives hanging from the pouch on the horse, otherwise Chu Lian only had a dagger for self-defense, and the thought of using a dagger to kill the horse would make Chu Lian's whole face dark.
The killing of horses was to be 'handed over' to Urihan and Muren, who were skilled in the company of cattle and horses all year round, and they even knew how to kill a horse with the least pain.
When the two horses fell into the snow, even Chu Lian couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the temperature was dropping rapidly, so Chu Lian had to speed up the movements of his hands.
She and Wu Lihan together pulled out the horse's internal organs from the horse's belly, and then put them on the snow next to them and piled them up, the two horses that had lost their breath lay horizontally in the snow, when the internal organs of the two horses were cleaned, Chu Lian and Wu Lihan first helped the youngest Narisong into the horse's belly, and then let Muren hold Narisong and lie outside.
Chu Lian used the dug up horse internal organs to pile them next to the gap in the horse's belly.
The belly of the remaining horse belonged to her and Urihan, but fortunately she and Urihan were both slender and petite, and not tall, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to get into it.
Chu Lian and Wu Lihan compared for a long time, and then persuaded Wu Lihan to lie outside by herself.
After Wu Lihan got into the belly of the horse, Chu Lian squatted down and got in, fortunately she was still wearing a fox fur, and it was not so cold to wrap the fox fur outside.
The smell in the horse's belly was terrible, and even blood and tissue dripped, but in order to survive, she had to endure it.
The more He Changdi chased out with the traces, the more his heart sank.
At this time, it was already dark, and everyone who followed He Changdi out hid in the warm shed on the land boat.
He Changdi's face darkened slightly, and he opened a slit slightly, looking at the darkness outside.
Damn, it's dark!
In the winter grasslands, if there is nothing to keep warm, it is dark and it means that death is coming.
Among them are special 'men' guides, and the old man is also a barbarian, who has lived in the northern steppes for decades.
Xiao Hong 'Yu' next to him asked the old guide with a solemn face, "Is there a place to rest recently?"
The old guide pouted and said bluntly: "From here, there is no camp that can rest within a radius of more than ten miles, and if you want to spend this snowfield, it will take two days." ”
The old guide's words made He Saburo's face almost turn ice.
There was a guard outside who reported, "Young master, there are still traces ahead." ”
He Changdi's voice was a little astringent, "Continue to walk according to the traces!"
The guards should be "yes" and quickly ordered.
If it weren't for the land boat and the warm house, even a group of strong men would not have been able to walk normally in the grassland in such a dark night.
He Changdi chased Chu Lian out according to the traces of their departure, and asked the owner of the tent, of course he also knew what kind of equipment Chu Lian was wearing when he fled.
How can four people and two horses survive on such a night!
They chased Lu Zhou all the way, and on the way they encountered two frozen corpses, still two men.
Look at the direction, I'm afraid it's Xiao Bojian's people, who are also chasing Chu Lian.
Even they couldn't survive in such weather, let alone a delicate 'girl' like Chu Lian.
He Changdi was reluctant to think further.
Seeing that he was silent all the way, Xiao Hong 'Yu' couldn't help but open his mouth and comforted: "Brother He, you want to open up, since my sister-in-law can escape so far, she must have a way to survive." ”
He Sanlang glanced at Xiao Hong's 'jade', and his mouth was speechless, at this time, where can he still think of those who were worried about in the past, his only wish now is to see Chu Lian who is still safe.
Don't they all say that the scourge will last for thousands of years, how can this poisonous 'woman' have an accident easily!
Lu Zhou walked silently in the wind and snow of the night, He Saburo lived like a year, and he didn't know how long Lu Zhou had been walking, and suddenly the whole team stopped.
He Changdi was stunned, lifted the curtain and went out to inquire in person.
"What the hell is going on, why did the team stop. He Saburo's voice was hoarse and deeply tired.
Li Xing hurriedly ran over, "Third Young Master, there is no trace......"
He Changdi was shocked.
What a pile of rubbish!
He Changdi ignored the opposition of his subordinates and wanted to check it out for himself.
The pro-soldiers, who are good at scouting, can't only lead him to the place where he has disappeared.
The footprints of the horses disappeared under the snow, no matter which direction they went, there were no more, He Changdi stood in the middle of the vast snowfield, only to feel that his heart was colder than the night in the north, as if it was frozen in an instant.
He clenched his fists tightly, his phoenix eyes were deep, and he instructed all the subordinates around him, "Check! Even if I turn over all the land within a radius of a hundred miles, I will see the three 'milks' and 'milks'!"
Although he was usually silent and had a cold face, the soldiers who followed him had never seen him go crazy like this.
At the moment, everyone can only do the same.
The men and horses in the team each took their own land boats to look for clues around.
He Changdi stood at the place where the traces disappeared, as if he had become a statue, he clenched his fists, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Chu Lian would really disappear like this and die here!
His gaze fell on the surroundings blankly, and not far away the fire was raised by the soldiers, and his gaze swept over, and on the other side of the fire, one or twenty meters away, there was a strange bulge in one or two places.
He Changdi's gaze was originally swept casually, but at this time he suddenly stopped.
The next moment, he ran frantically towards the bulging place.
When he arrived at that place, his slender fingers were 'inserted' into the snow, and he didn't know what he touched, He Changdi was shocked, and immediately knelt on the snow and shaved the snow with his hands.
Shouting as he planed.
Xiao Hong'yu quickly noticed his side, and asked people to run over with tools to shovel snow.
"Dig, dig for me, but be careful. "Xiao Hong' 'Yu' saw He Sanlang's crazy movements, so he hurriedly ordered.
Soon, the top layer of a few centimeters of snow was cut away, and everyone saw what was inside, it was two horses! and two dead horses.
Xiao Hong's 'jade' stopped the movements of his hand in disappointment, but He Changdi caught a glimpse of the dissected horse's belly.
As soon as his deep eyes lit up, he pounced.
Xiao Hong'yu thought that he saw that it was a horse corpse, and instantly collapsed, so he hurriedly went up and grabbed his arm, and persuaded in a wailing voice: "Brother He, don't be like this, here are two horse corpses, sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law, she's not here at all, you want to open some!"
He Changdi pushed the kid away and roared angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, your sister-in-law is in the belly of the horse!
Xiao Hong's 'jade' was pushed by He Changdi suddenly, and he fell into the snowdrift, and then he froze, "What? sister-in-law is in the belly of the horse? ''! What are you still doing in a daze, save people!"
He Changdi broke open the horse's belly with his bare hands, and saw Mu Ren and the Narisong brothers huddled in a ball.
Even the horse's belly, in such a cold weather, could not completely resist the low temperature, and the two brothers were already weak and had already 'lost' the past.
He Changdi was stunned for a second, and when he saw that it was not Chu Lian, he immediately turned his head to break open the abdomen of another horse's corpse.
Xiao Hong's 'jade' has already taken people one step ahead.
The horse's belly was broken, and sure enough, I saw Chu Lian lying outside holding a barbarian 'woman' and 'woman'.
Xiao Hong's 'jade' screamed and shouted, "Brother He, sister-in-law...... My sister-in-law is here!"
When He Changdi turned his head, he already saw Chu Lian lying in the belly of the horse with his eyes closed, he pushed away the surrounding people like crazy, rushed to Chu Lian's side in embarrassment, and hugged Chu Lian with trembling hands.
