Chapter 48: Revealing the Heart

As he spoke, more than 20 horsemen and horses arrived in the southeast, and the first person was the bandit Zhao Laosan. In the fight that night, Hu Zhenbang not only cut off the head of the red cherry gun in his hand, but also caused the second boss to kill the boss by mistake, and the boss finally committed suicide. It is said that his three brothers were defeated by Hu Zhenbang together, and he should hate Hu Zhenbang to the core, but somehow, he saw that although Hu Zhenbang was excellent in kung fu, he did not kill wantonly, not only spared his own life but also spared his brothers.

It was because he learned from Mu Hanyi last night that Hu Zhenbang and Ayimu fell to the bottom of the cliff, so he immediately took Mu Hanyi to the Qingbeastkou cottage, gathered the brothers to weave hemp rope and rattan rope overnight, and spliced several sections of rope into a hundred feet long rope, and it took many hours to coil up this long rope and be humped by two big horses, and then followed Mu Hanyi to the edge of the cliff. They did not delay for a moment this night, and when they reached the edge of the cliff, it was already dark.

Mu Hanyi said: "My eldest brother fell from here, and now he has a long rope, I don't know if it is enough to get to the bottom of the cliff, and there is no big tree or boulder here, so I can only bother you all to hold the rope and slowly lower the cliff." ”

Sang Duo said: "Miss Mu is right, everyone pulls the rope and slowly sends it down, until someone at the bottom of the cliff grabs the rope and ties it to the waist, so that they can slowly climb up." It's just that if we put the rope down, but we can't shout and signal, how can they see it even if they are still alive? If they can't see us put the rope down, isn't it in vain?"

Zhao Laosan said: "I have a way, I need to have a person to go down the cliff first, if you find the person at the bottom of the cliff, ask him to tie the rope around his waist, pull the rope twice, and the people above will start to pull up together until the person will come up." ”

Sando said: "This is very good, I think this is the only way." But who can climb down from here?"

In the snow hut at the bottom of the valley, Hu Zhenbang did not close his eyes all night, and the "ice pack" on Ayimu's forehead melted, Hu Zhenbang carefully wiped the oozing water droplets for her, and then re-wrapped the snow cubes and put them on, and so on, tossing for most of the night, Ayimu's body finally stopped trembling, his snort gradually became even, and he slowly slept peacefully.

Ayimu slept until dawn, and his body no longer felt cold, and in a daze, he felt that there were water droplets dripping from his forehead, so he wanted to reach out and wipe it, but suddenly felt that his body seemed to be being hugged by someone, and his arm couldn't move. opened his eyes slightly, but saw Hu Zhenbang hugging himself tightly and sleeping soundly. The bonfire on the side had long been extinguished, and Hu Zhenbang was dressed in a single coat, but he covered himself with a cotton coat.

Ayimu suddenly understood that the eldest brother must be afraid that he would catch a cold, so he draped his cotton clothes on himself and hugged me again, in order to keep warm. It's just that I have grown so big, and it is the first time I have been in such close contact with a man, and I am still being hugged tightly, which is embarrassing, but I feel sweet and warm in my heart.

When I looked up, there seemed to be something on my forehead, it felt cold, droplets, drops, drops, drops of water slid down from my forehead, tickling. I realized in my heart that I had a fever and discomfort last night, and it was the eldest brother who put ice cubes on him to reduce the fever, thinking that he hadn't slept all night, and he was really tired. If I move, my eldest brother will wake up, I still, I still don't want to move, if I move, he wakes up and opens his eyes to see, how embarrassing it will be.

Thinking of this, Ayimu suddenly became shy in his heart, closed his eyes at the moment, but he couldn't sleep anymore, his thoughts fluctuated, and it was difficult to calm down.

I don't know how long it took, Hu Zhenbang woke up suddenly, found that the sky was already bright, opened his eyes and looked at Ayimu, saw that her eyes were closed, only that she hadn't woken up yet, and saw that the ice pack on her forehead turned into water dripping, and hurriedly took it off for her.

I was afraid that her body was hot, and I tried to touch her forehead with the back of my hand, and the tentacles were cold, obviously the heat had disappeared, and I was half better, but I saw Ayimu's face flushed, and said that she was still hot, and I couldn't help but be a little worried.

In fact, Ayimu had already woken up, but he didn't dare to alarm Hu Zhenbang, although his eyes were closed, he could feel that Hu Zhenbang was testing the heat on her forehead with the back of his hand, his heart was pounding, and he was extremely shy, but he still didn't dare to move, he only felt that his mouth was dry and his face was hot.

After a while, I suddenly felt cold on my lips, and water seeped into my mouth, which was very sweet. It turned out that Hu Zhenbang saw that her eyes were closed, her face was red, her lips were dry, and it seemed that the residual heat had not subsided, and he thought that she must be very thirsty, so he cut off a branch with a large bowl with a sword, and used a dagger borrowed from Ayina to cut it into a small wooden bowl, scooped a bowl of snow, lit a fire again, melted the snow water close to the fire, and gently fed it to her lips.

Ayimu couldn't be silent anymore, opened his eyes, and saw Hu Zhenbang's eyes frowning slightly, looking at himself with worry, seeing that he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but turn his worries into joy and said: "Second sister, you finally woke up, how do you feel, are you better?"

Ayimu smiled slightly, and said shyly: "I feel a lot better, big brother, have you taken care of me for a night?

Hu Zhenbang said: "Second sister, don't say anything about it again, if you hadn't saved me that day, I'm afraid I would have been buried at the bottom of the mountain by an avalanche." ”

Ayimuqi said: "Obviously you rescued me, how can I say that I saved you?" Xuan even came back to his senses, thinking that day he saw his eldest brother facing the direction of the avalanche, in a hurry, he took the risk of jumping off Mu Hanyi's horse, in the hope that Hu Zhenbang would turn back, and the result was a trick that worked, Hu Zhenbang heard her "ouch" The sound of falling from the horse, and sure enough, he turned the bridle back to save her, and finally narrowly avoided the avalanche and fell in this deep valley.

At that time, Ayimu was in a hurry and did not think about it, and Hu Zhenbang would not know her intentions, but now that he saw that he had thought of this layer, his face couldn't help but turn red again.

Hu Zhenbang saw that her face was red, and he only said that her fever had not yet recovered, so he hurriedly said: "Second sister, you lie down and rest for a while, and I will bake something for you to eat." So he took a fork and put a piece of horse's meat on the fire and roasted it.

was looking at the barbecue, and suddenly felt a warmth on his body, it turned out that Ayimu had draped his cotton clothes on himself. He hurriedly said: "Second sister, you should still wear it, you are weak and afraid of cold, wear a little more." I'm near the fire, it's not cold. ”

Ayimu insisted: "No, you must wear it, because I don't feel cold at all now, not only do I not feel cold, but I also feel a little hot." It turned out that at this moment in her heart, she only felt warmth, and this warmth could make her whole body warm from the inside out.

Mu Hanyi said to Sang Duo and Zhao Laosan: "Then I am the only one who goes down, when I go to the bottom, pull the rope twice, and pull it up, for a long time, you must ask Zhao Laosan and these brothers to wait." ”

Zhao Laosan said: "Woman, let's go with me, I'm always familiar with this area." ”

Sang Duo said: "If I am younger than ten years old, I will be able to go down, but now that I am really old, I will not fight with you, in my opinion, it is better to let Zhao Laosan go down, Miss Mu is a woman after all, although her martial arts are high, if you want to go down to the bottom of this unfamiliar valley, you still can't be careless." ”

Mu Hanyi said: "Okay, don't be verbose, just let this girl go down, you tighten the rope for me, put it slowly, if it can't reach the end, I'll pull it, you pull me up, and then try to lengthen the rope; If I find them and want to bring them up, pull them twice, and you will slowly pull them up. Got it?"

Zhao Laosan said: "Understood, then obey the orders of the heroine." ”

Sando said: "Girl, you still have to be careful. ”

Fortunately, the weather was clear, and a red sun rose from the east over the ice field, illuminating the entire glacier like a white jade carved railing, crystal clear. In the snow hut at the bottom of the valley, Ayimu and Hu Zhenbang sat face to face on the horseskin and talked.

Ayimu suddenly asked, "Big brother, are you and Miss Mu cousins cousins?"

Hu Zhenbang said with a smile: "Don't listen to my little sister's nonsense, she is a ghost elf, we are not relatives, just to take back the "Wujing General Essentials" and go to the rivers and lakes together." ”

Ayimu let out an "oh" and asked: "The eldest brother and the younger sister, how did they become brothers and sisters in the first place?"

Hu Zhenbang hurriedly said: "I didn't marry her before, cousin and cousin, she was talking nonsense, it was when she met you that she proposed that the three of us become brother and sister." ”

Ayimu smiled: "Then if I hadn't appeared, you wouldn't have become brothers and sisters?"

Hu Zhenbang said: "The world is unpredictable, everything is possible. I can't say that it won't, but there are many things that are destined, such as the appearance of the second sister, teaching me to become brothers and sisters, which seems to be destined in the dark, which is the word 'fate' that Buddhism often says. ”

When Ayimu heard him say this, his heart fluttered, and a pair of big eyes couldn't help but look at Hu Zhenbang, but when he saw that Hu Zhenbang was also looking at him, the two of them looked at each other, and they both lowered their heads with red faces.

Ayimu was afraid that he would see through his thoughts, so he was busy looking for some topics to talk about, and asked about Hu Zhenbang's life experience, Hu Zhenbang suddenly thought that he, like Ayimu, was also suffering from the revenge of killing his father and did not avenge it.

Ayimu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "I can't imagine that the eldest brother is the same as me, he has the revenge of killing his father and has not avenged it, I know who the enemy who killed my father is, but I can't kill him, but the eldest brother only knows that the enemy is a Jurchen tribesman, but I don't know who killed it." Alas, as long as we have the opportunity to get out of this icy and snowy land, we must try to avenge this sea of blood. ”

Hu Zhenbang saw that what she said was very true, and he couldn't help but praise: "Second sister, you are right! As long as you get out of here alive, you and I will have to avenge the murder of our father!"

Ayimu suddenly said gloomily, "But, can we still get out of here?" Little sister and Sando, will they find us and rescue us?"

Hu Zhenbang hurriedly comforted: "It will be, but it will take some time! You can rest easy, don't worry, your illness has not yet recovered, and you still need to rest more!"

Ayimu said: "Big brother, I'm almost fine, you didn't sleep all night last night, it's too hard, today you rest, I'll go collect some firewood." ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "By all means, in this snow valley, the dead branches are buried very deeply, although it is not snowing today, but the road at the bottom of the valley is extremely difficult to walk, or I will find some." ”

Seeing that he insisted on going, Ayimu was really unhappy in his heart, and hurriedly got up and wanted to stop him. Unexpectedly, she had a high fever before she retreated, her body was very weak, and she was about to fall before she could stand firmly, Hu Zhenbang was quick to see her hands, and she held on and said: "Second sister, you better rest and sleep again, I'll wait for you to fall asleep before you go." ”

Ayimu took Hu Zhenbang's arm and said, "Don't go, just stay here with me, I, I'm afraid that you won't come back after you go." ”

Hu Zhenbang smiled: "How come, you are here, how can I leave you and never go back?" He said: "I'll accompany you, and I'll not go anywhere." ”

Ayimu smiled slightly and said: "In fact, in my heart, if you and I don't have this blood feud, I will stay in this snow house for the rest of my life, and I will have no regrets." ”
