Chapter 47: The Night of the Igloo

Ayimu knew that the only thing he wanted to eat at the moment was horse meat, but when he thought that this horse was the life-saving horse that saved him and his eldest brother from the avalanche, he felt sad and unacceptable.

She thought that Hu Zhenbang had sympathized with her feelings and prevented Sandor and others from using her frozen green horse as food, but now she was facing a dilemma and would have to use Hu Zhenbang's mount as food, and she felt very sorry for Hu Zhenbang.

Hu Zhenbang seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Sister, be relieved, this horse thinks that he did not sacrifice in vain, and can save the lives of you and me, and he will definitely smile at the kingdom of heaven, and he will definitely be able to be blessed by the gods and Buddhas one day and return to the world." ”

When Ayimu heard him say this, his heart was reassured, and he said, "Then I must recite the scriptures for it, and surpass its soul to ascend to heaven as soon as possible." "Say that, put your palms together, close your eyes and chant the scriptures.

Hu Zhenbang looked up and saw that Ayimu's face was dignified and beautiful and solemn and kind under the firelight, and he was really like the most beautiful Bodhisattva in the world.

Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "Buddha Bodhisattva please bless you, the disciple is really out of helplessness, in order to alleviate the pain of the injured horse, had to kill it, now in order to protect the lives of my brother and sister, not to eat their flesh, I married the righteous sister Ayimu is now a horse overdue, may the Buddha and Bodhisattva not blame me, in the next non-Buddhist disciple, killing only to save people, Amitabha, Amitabha. ”

Ayimu muttered the scriptures, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly smelled the aroma of barbecue in his nose, and when he opened his eyes, Hu Zhenbang had forked a piece of roasted yellowish horse meat with a branch and handed it to him.

At night, a disc-like moon shone on the ice and snow valley like day, and the temperature became lower and lower.

Fortunately, Hu Zhenbang had peeled off the skin of the brown horse and spread it on the ground for Ayimu to lie down and rest, and Ayimu fell asleep. Hu Zhenbang was afraid that the fire would get colder after it gradually went out, so he sat aside and added dead branches to the fire to burn a bonfire.

Mu Hanyi rushed along the way to the direction of the green beast's mouth, fortunately, this white dragon is not only a divine horse, but also extremely humane, so he doesn't have to drive it, so he gallops away from the road. It's just that the snow is too deep and the walking is not too fast, but Mu Hanyi didn't dare to stop for a moment, because she knew that if she stopped for a moment, Hu Zhenbang and Ayimu would be more dangerous.

In this way, he walked for several hours in a row, and when the moon rose, he had rushed to the mouth of the green beast.

At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, and the valley was shining with silver light. But Taniguchi was silent, and if he hadn't experienced it himself, it would have been hard to imagine that there had been a fierce battle here not long ago.

Mu Hanyi was anxious in his heart, thinking to himself, this gang of bandits will not go out to rob until the second half of the night, if I wait here until the second half of the night, and I can't guarantee that they will come out, I must think of a way to lure them out.

Look around, see the green beast mouth canyon, are a large ice wall ice curtain icicles, it turns out that this is a tuyere, a few days ago after the heavy snow accumulated on the hillside, by the strong wind, have turned into ice, there is no new accumulation of snow, want to shout a few times, will not cause an avalanche.

At that moment, she shouted loudly: "Third child, quickly come out with your men!" Her voice was loud, and it spread far away through the sound of the green beast's mouth. It turned out that when she saw Hu Zhenbang admonishing the bandits, she also called the remaining leader "the third child", which is why she also called him so.

shouted about four or five times, only to hear the whining wind, there was a voice: "Boss, second, it's you, are you back?"

Mu Hanyi followed the prestige, only to see a black spot slowly emerging behind a hill in the northeast, and then shouted: "Hey, are you the third child, come here quickly!"

The black dot slowly grew larger, and the whole person walked out from behind the hill and shouted, "Who are you? You are not the eldest or the second, ah, are you, are you--", and his tone stood out as if he had suddenly realized.

Mu Hanyi said happily: "Sure enough, it's the third child, don't you remember me?" The two walked towards each other, and in a moment they were less than a foot away, and they could see it clearly under the moonlight, wasn't that person the third robber!

When the third child saw Mu Hanyi, he was also taken aback, and asked, "Sure enough, it's you, naturally I remember you, why did you come back again?"

Mu Han asked rhetorically, "What are you doing here alone?"

The third said: "Today is the eldest and second of the first seven, I want to come here to burn some paper money for the two brothers, and I heard someone shouting 'the third brother' from afar, and I also said that the ghosts of the two of them are back? After listening to it for a long time, I felt that it was not like the voice of these two people, so I had the courage to come out and take a look." ”

Mu Hanyi said: "I see, you are affectionate and righteous, I only ask you, can you call your subordinates?"

The third said: "If you want to call it naturally, you can call it, it's just that the young man said last time that we are not allowed to gather together to block the road and rob, and the little one really doesn't dare." ”

Mu Hanyi said: "Who wants you to rob, I want to ask your brothers to do me a favor, this time it's not to hurt people, it's to save people!"

Lao San said: "Heroine, but please instruct, where I want Zhao Laosan to contribute, it is a matter of one sentence." The little one will be able to call the brethren in less than an hour!"

Mu Hanyi said: "Then, then bother you, I will quickly gather my brothers and prepare dry food and ropes, the longer the better, to be able to reach the bottom of the cliff a hundred feet high." ”

In the snow hut at the bottom of the valley, although it can resist the cold wind, but since night, it has become colder and colder, Hu Zhenbang kept adding dead branches to the fire, for fear that after the flame is extinguished, Ayimu will freeze.

In the second half of the night, Hu Zhenbang was also a little unable to support it, fatigue hit, and in a daze, he heard Ayimu shouting: "Cold, cold, so cold!" suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that although the fire had not been extinguished, the fire was weak, and he hurriedly threw two dead branches into the fire to make the fire bigger.

Ayimu still closed his eyes tightly, his body trembled slightly, and he still muttered: "It's so cold, where is this, why is it so cold, Zina, big brother, sister, don't leave me, I'm so cold--"

When Hu Zhenbang looked closely, he was taken aback, Ayimu's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, Hu Zhenbang touched her forehead with the back of his hand, and when she touched it, she felt hot like fire, it turned out that Ayimu was sick and feverish.

Hu Zhenbang hurriedly tore a corner of his clothes, took some ice and snow to wrap up, and gently applied it to her forehead, Ayimu felt a little comfortable, and fell asleep, Hu Zhenbang was about to get up, and was suddenly grabbed by her pair of slender hands and said: "Big brother, the avalanche ahead, come back quickly!"

Hu Zhenbang was stunned, and when he remembered the scene before falling off the cliff, he suddenly woke up, it turned out that he was about to rush up to save the lama in the face of the avalanche that day, but suddenly heard the sound of Ayimu falling from the horse behind him, so he turned around to save her, and it was because of this turn that he avoided the avalanche.

It turned out that it was not me who saved her, but she saved me! Thinking of this, Hu Zhenbang's heart warmed, and his heart had a warmth that he had never had before, and this feeling was something he had never had in his memory.

It turned out that since he can remember, under the training of the prince of Suolongtu, he has been practicing the martial arts of various sects and factions, and the inner strength of the heart, and the prince of Suo taught him to read poetry and books, familiarize himself with military law, teach him how to lead troops to fight, and teach him to study all kinds of Qimen weapons painstakingly, just to let him find an opportunity to enter the Liao Marshal's Mansion and obtain the twelve volumes of "Wujing General Essentials" written by his biological father, and in his heart, there is a deep buried task, he also has to find the enemy who killed his father, recapture the eight volumes of scriptures that were robbed, and avenge his father.

Prince Suo is more like a strict father to him, dedicated to teaching him martial arts and the art of war, and does not smile in life. Although, he can also feel Prince Suo's care for him, but this kind of care can only make Hu Zhenbang feel both grateful and awe-inspiring, and it seems that there is less warmth, no wonder that since Prince Suo's beloved woman married General Kulun, he rarely has a smile on his face.

Therefore, he has always closed his heart and does not give his heart easily. In the face of Yelu Aoshuang, the lord of Liaoguo who was given marriage, he still did not regard her as a lover who could give his heart, in fact, he knew best in his heart that he just regarded her as a little sister who did not understand the world, and did not have the kind of emotions that only exist between lovers, if it were not for the trust of Yelu Kokand, he would definitely not accept this marriage.

Mu Hanyi, who has always walked with him along the way, is actually more like a confidant and friend. Although she is a Jurchen and his father-killing enemy is also a Jurchen, he will not dislike her because of this, because she is bold and clever, and has a lot of tacit understanding with herself in many places, perhaps, they are the best partners to form in order to complete a common task.

And only Ayimu, this seemingly delicate Uighur princess who does not know martial arts, but because she dares to love and hate, has a strong personality, and inadvertently reveals the most heartwarming care for him, the eldest brother. At this moment, Hu Zhenbang's heart warmed, the night of the snow house was actually very cold, but he didn't feel cold to the bone.

"I'm so cold, I'm so cold, cold--" Ayimu in front of him was blushing and glowing with beautiful brilliance, which made Hu Zhenbang feel a strange feeling in his heart, pity, gratitude, and distress, he took off the cotton clothes on his body, covered Ayimu, opened his arms, and hugged her tightly.

On such an extremely cold night, Hu Zhenbang put a cotton coat on Ayimu's body, and he was only wearing a single shirt, but he hugged Ayimu, his heart was hot, so he didn't feel cold. And Ayimu, in a daze, was embraced by a pair of strong arms, no longer felt the cold, and finally fell asleep steadily.

Sandor set up a tent at the top of the cliff, fearing that his mount would freeze to death, so he simply pulled the horse into the tent. In this way, the space was very small, and he was half leaning and half leaning next to the horse, but he did not feel very cold. He said secretly: "If you wait until tomorrow noon and still don't see anyone coming, how can this be good?" Worried in his heart, and there was nothing he could do, and in the second half of the night, he could no longer support it, and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a muffled sound of horses' hooves, and when I opened the tent, I saw that the sky was already bright. I saw a white horse in the southeast rushing over, and it was Mu Hanyi immediately, and in a blink of an eye, he shouted at him: "Sando, come out quickly, the bandit leader Zhao Laosan has come to save people with a rope!"

Sando hurriedly got out of the tent and said with a smile: "The girls are really good, you found them, what about them? ”

Mu Hanyi said: "My horse is fast, and they will arrive later! The rope has been busy all night, and it is a hundred feet long, but this cliff is bottomless, and I don't know if it is enough to get to the bottom." ”
