Chapter 295: The Cottage (Part II)
The two jumped off their horses, came to the foot of the mountain, looked up for a long time, and only heard Ji Dan say: "Well, Brother Qiao, we have finally arrived, this is the Tianshan Mountain." "There was a little excitement in my heart, as if there was infinite emotion.
Qiao Zhengyu looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said, "Brother Ji, I think this mountain is very big, and I don't know if there is anyone in front of me." Why don't we rest at the foot of this mountain tonight and go back into the mountain after dawn tomorrow?"
Ji Dan shook his head when he heard this: "It's not good, Wan'er has been poisoned deeply, and finding the antidote a day earlier is one more hope." I know that Brother Qiao has worked very hard along the way, and it is normal for people to want to rest, and the old man has no complaints.
"I don't think it's as good as this, Brother Qiao might as well rest at the foot of this mountain tonight, I'll go into the mountain alone to find the antidote, and we'll gather again tomorrow." β
Qiao Zhengyu listened, was slightly moved, and said: "Brother Ji and his wife have a deep relationship, but they are admirable. Well, since we are here, everything should be under the orders of Brother Ji, and we will continue to hurry. β
Ji Dan nodded slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, Brother Qiao, for my own selfish desires, I am going to make you suffer again." β
Qiao Zhengyu said: "Brother Ji doesn't have to be polite, you and I are good friends, and this is what I should do." He led the horse and walked towards the mountains and forests with Ji Dan.
After walking for a short time, the mountains became darker and darker. The two found some pieces of firewood, tied them together, and then took flint and lit them. One of them took a torch and continued to walk forward in the darkness.
The mountain forest was very cold, and although it was past winter, the light was bright in the air, and countless small snowflakes fell from time to time, but the ground was white.
The two of them walked forward in the snow, and there were no footprints of anyone walking on the way, except for the occasional sound of wild beasts coming from the mountains and forests, and then the white snow in the air, fluttering and flying, and very dense, as if they could not wait, and hurried to fall down.
The two walked for dozens of miles, and when they saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and they could no longer move forward, they found a cave nearby, lit a pile of firewood, and then gathered around.
It was very cold on the ground, but fortunately the two of them had been prepared, and took two blankets from the saddle and put them on the ground. In this way, they suddenly felt much better, and even if they were lying on the ground, they no longer felt cold, so the two quickly fell asleep.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the two woke up from their dreams, and in a daze, they found that there was a different scene outside the cave.
The heavy snow has long since stopped, and everything in front of me is a white world, including mountains, rocks, trees, and the earth.
A ray of sunlight shone from behind the rocks, shining on the snow-white ground, which seemed quiet and serene. Above the sky, a few white clouds slowly drifted by, and several big birds spread their wings and moved with the white clouds.
The pine trees outside the cave were covered with layers of thick white snow, and several squirrels suddenly burst out, jumping up and down from time to time, and the pine trees suddenly began to rain with snow, and fell in large chunks.
By this time, the fire of the fire had been extinguished, and it had been burned into a pile of ashes. The two got up from the ground, packed their belongings, and then walked out of the cave.
After a night's rest, the two horses were in a good state of mind, their whole bodies were shaking, and they were full of strength up and down, and they were worthy of being good horses for a thousand miles. At this time, although he was in the snow, he was still walking like flying, and there was no discomfort at all.
But the mountain road is difficult after all, and the two of them are not easy to ride forward, so they can only lead the horse and walk slowly. Heavy snow covered the mountain, the ground was covered with thick snow, and the two of them worked hard to move forward, but they were also slightly struggling for a long time, and they felt that their physical strength was insufficient.
After walking for dozens of miles, but seeing a hut looming in the depths of the snow, the two of them felt relieved and hurriedly walked towards the hut.
Sure enough, not far ahead, there were several wooden houses, surrounded by a fence that enclosed the houses. The snow attacked the huts with impunity, so that most of their bodies were covered, and they stood alone in the snow, which was particularly conspicuous.
The two men led their horses to the edge of the fence and called a few times inside. And after a long time he saw the door of the hut open, and a man came out of it.
"Liu Shaoxia!" Ji Dan saw it clearly and couldn't help but shout.
That person was Liu Yi, but when he saw Qiao Zhengyu and the others, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old hero Ji, why are you?" rushed to the fence, opened the door, and led the two of them in.
"Well, it turns out that Liu Shaoxia lives here, I didn't expect us to meet again, it seems that we are really fateful. Qiao Zhengyu smiled, patted his body, and saw that a large amount of snow fell straight down and fell to the ground.
Liu Yi said with a smile: "Qiao Shaoxia has worked hard, I knew that you would come into the mountain, I should have brought you here yesterday, so you spent the night in the mountain yesterday." β
Ji Dan said: "Liu Shaoxia is polite, you still have your own things to do, how can we trouble you." However, coming along the way, it has allowed us to appreciate the power of this snow, and it is also a unique flavor. β
Qiao Zhengyu nodded again and again: "Yes, the scenery on this snow-capped mountain is very beautiful, if you don't experience it yourself, how can you know the fun in it." Although it was a bit of a blessing, it was a good trip, heheγγγγγγ β
