By noon on the third day, according to General Gao's memory, the two had already crossed the mountainside. Halfway through the trip, the two were happy, but sadness followed.

Although they were careful and frugal, the two of them still ran out of rations at this time. In fact, after using the morning food, the dry food has been exhausted, and only the two mouthfuls saved by Sima Wenzhi remain. But he didn't want General Gao to know and didn't tell him.

Two mouthfuls of dry food can't hold down the package.

After the wind blew, the package fluctuated with the wind, and General Gao became suspicious. Paper can't hold the fire, and if you don't want to tell, you have to tell.

General Gao was annoyed and incriminated. Sima asked again and again to be relieved, this matter was not his fault.

Neither of them had any more food before dark. At the insistence of General Gao, Sima Wenzhi ate the last two mouthfuls of dry food, which was better than not eating.

The feeling of being hungry was not good, and both of them tossed and turned in the second half of the night.

There is no dry food, and drinking some hot water will be able to withstand it for a while. But at this time, there is no container for boiling water, and it is impossible to boil water. General Gao's helmet was originally a suitable container, but he had already lost it.

There was a lot of cold water, but neither of them wanted to drink it.

Drinking cold water on a hungry stomach will not relieve satiety, but will give birth to a lot of turbidity. Now the place where the two of them are resting is arranged by them with great effort, and if there is too much turbidity, they need to change the place to arrange, which consumes more and outweighs the loss.

Turning over repeatedly, the two inevitably have a time when they lie opposite each other. They looked at each other and smiled, tacitly agreed, and then turned over again.

In the past two days, after it was dark and no longer moving forward, Sima Wen would lead the spirit to impact the two veins of Ren and Du. At this time, he lacked physical strength and didn't want to move, he just wanted to fall asleep quickly.

I want to sleep but can't.

Sima asked helplessly, and began to silently recite the Great Cave Sutra in his heart.

In the capital city of Jiankang, when the Confucian master Yu was teaching, there were many times when he fell asleep listening to the Four Books and Five Classics. At this time, he memorized the Taoist scriptures, and after a while, he also fell asleep. All laws are one, and this can be seen here.

In his sleep, Sima Wenzhi dreamed of the imperial mother, dreamed of the imperial sister, and coaxed him to eat delicious food. Then he dreamed that he fell asleep in class, and Master Yu took the ring ruler and wanted to pat his palm.

But he didn't dodge, he was the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and Master Yu was very kind, and he wouldn't really hit him.

But then he became frightened.

In his sleep, Master Yu turned into Liu Yu, the Duke of Song, and the ring ruler also turned into a short sword, stabbing straight at him.

"Ahh ”

Awakened from his sleep, Sima Wenzhi was panting. It was already dawn, and General Gao was not around. Looking to the side, he was busy at the fire.

At this time, General Gao was stirring a pot on the fire with a wooden stick. It's not actually a real pot, it's the skull of an unknown livestock. There was something green boiling in the skull, and it rose and fell with the boiling water.

"Your Highness, come and eat something. Seeing that Sima Wenzhi woke up, General Gao called him.

In other words, in the past, General Gao would definitely bring the soup over and serve Sima Wen to take it. But at this time, it was cold, and General Gao called him over and wanted him to warm up in front of the fire.

"What is this?" The food in the pot had become porridge-like, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

"Returning to Your Highness, it is grass roots and tender bark. When speaking, General Gao deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "tender". But tender bark is still bark, and it doesn't make much difference whether it's tender or not.

Sima asked for an answer, and after the pot was taken off and let cool, he took it up and took a sip.

There is only a bitter taste in the mouth, which is difficult to swallow. But seeing General Gao's expectant eyes, he still swallowed hard.

General Gao let it again, but Sima asked whether he was alive or dead and refused to drink again. There is no salt cloth in the pot, and there is not a bit of saltiness in what is cooked, except for bitterness.

General Gao insisted on letting it go further, and Sima Wenzhi suddenly understood.

At this moment, the two of them only have a livestock skull as a pot, and there is no container for dividing meals, he is not full, and General Gao cannot eat. In desperation, I could only hold my breath and take a few more sips. Then General Gao finished drinking and went on the road again.

The bark of the grass roots was very hungry, and not long after the morning meal, the two of them were hungry again. So he stopped and regenerated the fire to cook the "rice".

When General Gao went up the mountain, he was anxious to find Sima and ask him, but he was not careful when digging grass roots. Now that the two of them are digging carefully, they have purchased a lot in a short time.

Since then, the two no longer follow the rule of two meals a day. Grass root bark can be found everywhere, so you don't have to worry about eating it out.

People have blessings that they can't enjoy, but they don't have unbearable suffering, and after drinking porridge made from grass roots and bark a few times, driven by hunger, Sima Wenzhi has been able to do it willingly.

When he drank porridge, he also missed Ling Shuang and missed the life in Qingxuan Mountain that was not afraid of food and clothing. But the road was chosen by himself, he did not regret it, and he did not have the idea of turning back to ask Tianchengzi.

Master Yu said that he is most afraid of regret when doing things, and he is the most afraid of repeating himself. Capricious things and capricious people will often make people feel disgusted, and they will not end well.

After walking for less than a day, near noon, the two saw a path in the forest, which was good news. With a trail, it's not far from the foot of the mountain.

While discovering the path, living creatures were also discovered. Fortunately, it's not a monster. Looking at it again, it's not very good, it's a big wolf.

General Gao has recovered before, although he can't exert ten percent of his strength under hunger, but as a military general, with weapons in hand, a wild wolf will not be a big threat.

But the two were still very nervous, the wolf is a social animal, and if you find one, there may be more than one around.

Fortunately, the wolf glanced at them and ran away.

The appearance of the wild wolf changed the original plan of the two to go down the mountain directly.

Before General Gao went up the mountain, he did not bury the corpses of the soldiers who were killed by the monsters. At that time, it was both unintentional and timeless

Even if soldiers regard death on the battlefield and horse leather shrouds as a common thing, the skin of the body and the parents of the body cannot be easily damaged. Even if they die, being able to preserve their bodies is also a consolation for the dead.

The imaginary tragic scene of a broken stomach did not appear, but the corpses and horses were nowhere to be found, and only a carriage was left alone. The two searched carefully and found a grave bag not far away. The grave bag is large and there is no tombstone.

The two of them settled down with their hanging hearts.

The grave bag is very large, indicating that there are more people buried in it, and the ordinary grave bag is only the size of this two-percentage. The car is still driving, indicating that the corpses of the soldiers were buried by Song Gong's pursuers. If it is buried by ordinary people, the car will also be pulled away. At this time, the life of the world is difficult and abnormal, and the car is expensive, and there is no reason to stay.

The last trace of concern was also broken, and the two of them had no worries and walked straight down the mountain.

When they reached Shen Shi, the two of them had seen curling smoke rise from the distance.
