In the barren mountain, the wind and snow were swaying, and Ji Mingxiu braved the wind and snow to come to the side of the stone bridge.
As he was about to cross the bridge, Yan Feijue grabbed his arm quickly: "Young master! The bridge is covered with ice and snow, it will slip, let me go first!"
Yan Feijue and Hai Shisan went back to the palace, bringing a lot of guards and some emergency equipment, but it was still difficult for these things to cope with the stone bridge—the wind was too heavy, the snow was too heavy, and the soles of the feet were slippery.
Yan Feijue tied an emergency rope to his body, and tied the other end to a big tree.
As he walked, he shoveled the ice and snow on the bridge with a shovel.
After he walked to the opposite side, he performed Qinggong and flew down the cave vertically. After standing still at the entrance of the cave, he tied the rope firmly to a solid rock.
Hai Shisan took out the already knotted rope and rode on it: "Young master, I'll slide over first, come back if there is no problem."
The ropes at both ends were tied very well, but just in case, Yan Feijue was pulling on the cave side, and guards were pulling on the other side of the big tree on the peak, Hai Shisan slipped into the cave steadily.
After that, Ji Mingxiu and the six accompanying guards also slid over.
Yan Feijue tugged at the rope, and said, "It's quite strong, and it's still usable when I go up."
"Cut it off." Ji Mingxiu said without hesitation.
Yan Fei was taken aback for a moment: "Cut... cut? It was tied up with great difficulty, and we have to climb up again when we find them."
Although it is possible to climb up to the top of the cave, it would take one more time to cross the stone bridge, and there is one more danger of falling off the cliff. It is better to use this rope to pull people to the opposite side.
Hai Shisan thought for a while, and agreed: "Cut it off, Yan Feijue, if the people from the Holy Church find this rope, they will definitely guess that we have turned it back. At that time, they will search for us all over the mountains and plains, and we will be free." It won't take long to find the young lady and General Mu."
"Who is looking for Little General Mu?" Ji Mingxiu flew over with a cold knife.
Hai Shisan only felt his scalp numb, and realized that he had said the wrong thing. The young master didn't want to see little general Mu. Blocking an arrow for the young lady, the young master was supposed to go through life and death for his own woman, but now it is replaced by a rival in love, the young master feels at ease.
I'm afraid the young master would rather be the one who fell off the cliff than be made a good person by General Mu, right
But having said that, if General Mu hadn't blocked that arrow, the chance of the young lady surviving would have been close to zero. Right now... I have to see people and dead bodies, before I see the bodies of the two of them , he never believed that the two of them were dead.
Yan Feijue first cut off the end of the rope tied to the tree with a hidden weapon, and then pulled the whole rope back into his hands. Then the group of people used the rope to walk down the cliff for a while, and saw a barely feasible path halfway up the mountain.
It is said to be a small path, but in fact it is just some protruding rocks. Some rocks are not far apart and can be reached by half a step, and some are three or four steps full. At this time, you have to dig holes in the cliff with a dagger .
Several people have good arms, but the terrain is too steep, which is much more dangerous than walking on the stone bridge. The stone bridge is three feet wide, and some of the rocks here are not as big as bricks. Dagger on the cliff.
But this time, no one felt how daunting the abyss under their feet was.
Facing the wind and snow, after walking hard on the cliff for half an hour, the few people finally saw the soil. After climbing onto the snow-covered land, they quickly found a forest and followed the forest all the way down. , should be able to reach the bottom of the cliff slowly.
Somewhere at the bottom of the cliff, in a lonely small wooden house, Xiuqin put out today's meals, including the bacon marinated by her mother-in-law, stir-fried with garlic sprouts, half of the rabbits hunted yesterday were cooked spicy, and half cooked Braised in soy sauce, another two plates of wild vegetables were fried, and a pot of rabbit bone bean soup was cooked.
Smelling this delicious aroma, Xiuqin's saliva almost flowed down, she swallowed, and she went to the women's room to invite him out.
The woman sat down at the table, looked at the dishes that were obviously several times richer than before, and looked at Xiuqin indifferently.
Xiuqin smiled and handed her the bowl and chopsticks: "Mother-in-law, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."
The woman picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece of spicy rabbit meat first.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xiuqin looked at her expectantly.
The woman said lightly: "So-so."
Xiuqin let out a disappointment, is this so-so? She's almost starved to death, okay
The woman tasted another piece of braised rabbit meat, she said it was so-so, but her eating movements were unambiguous. By the time Xiuqin helped her fill a bowl of soup, half of the two plates of rabbit meat had gone.
Qiao Wei came out with a plate of freshly mixed pickles. This pickle was also made from wild vegetables. It was soaked in water first, and then served cold. It was sour, crunchy and delicious, very appetizing.
Qiao Wei put the pickles on the table, looked at the woman who was eating silently and said softly: "Mother-in-law take us in."
She has already learned the truth about yesterday from Xiuqin's mouth. Her mother-in-law seems to understand some medical principles. After she fainted, her mother-in-law took her pulse and found out that she was pregnant. She turned and went back to the room without saying anything. up.
This is the tacit agreement that she and General Mu stayed behind.
This mother-in-law looks unreasonable, but she seems to have a little tolerance and compassion for pregnant women...
No matter what, she is happy to be pregnant again and able to stay. Cooking this meal is not just to thank her mother-in-law, she also wants to celebrate.
The woman said coldly: "Don't think that you were taken in for nothing."
Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "I understand mother-in-law! I can do all the housework! I am the best at cooking, tell me everything you want to eat! I also know a little about sewing, if you need to sew something You can also bring it to me!"
The woman said: "As soon as the snow stops, you all go."
Qiao Wei looked out the window, she didn't know how long the snow would fall, and on the day when it stopped, General Mu should have passed the dangerous period. By then, she would take him on the mountain road, maybe... barely, right
Qiao Wei touched her belly, which was not obvious, and said to the woman, "Got it, mother-in-law."
There was another dish in the kitchen. Qiao Wei went to work in the kitchen, and Xiuqin came to help. In fact, Xiuqin couldn't help much. She served Fu Xueyan just to take care of food and daily life, but she had never been in the kitchen. She didn't understand these things. After coming here, my mother-in-law cooks every day. It's not bad, but it's not very delicious.
This time, following Qiao Wei in, it was actually just talking.
"Is mother-in-law from the Central Plains?" Qiao Wei asked.
Xiuqin shook her head: "I don't know either. When you didn't come, she kept speaking Yeluo dialect. I didn't even know she could speak Central Plains dialect, and she spoke it so well."
Qiao Wei is silent, it doesn't matter anymore, the Central Plains people Yeluo people, aren't they all benefactors of the three of them
After eating, Xiuqin cleaned up the dishes, while Qiao Wei went to the woman's house, took out the clothes she had changed and washed them in the backyard.
The woman first looked at her stomach, then looked at her normal appearance, said nothing, took the bow and arrow, put on the coir raincoat and bamboo hat and went out.
…
However, Ji Mingxiu and his party finally reached the bottom of the cliff after trekking through mountains and rivers for a whole night and a whole day, but the bottom of the cliff is too big, and at a glance, it is white. Where are the two of them
Yan Fei looked desperately, and suddenly saw a big black ice sculpture, he was startled immediately: "Huh! Who is it?!"
Click, click, click, the ice sculpture moved, the ice cubes fell, and the ghost king slowly turned around with his head of ice balls on his head.
Yan Feijue was so frightened that he was so frightened that he fell into the snow. After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, he said with lingering fear: "Why are you, senior? When did you come? You were not asked to stay in the palace Is it?"
This was a search, not a fight. They were afraid that Qiao Wei and General Mu would not find them, and would instead lose this poor-witted baby ghost king, so they let him stay in the palace.
But looking at the appearance of the ghost king, he should have followed them secretly, not only followed, but also followed them in front of them. I don't know how long he has stood in this ghostly place, and he has frozen himself into a big ice sculpture!
Yan Feijue got up in shock.
With a stinking face, the ghost king gave him a big ass!
Ji Mingxiu's eyesight was excellent, and through the wind and snow, he saw a faint light: "There are people over there, go and have a look."
"Is there?" Hai Shisan hurriedly looked in the direction indicated by Ji Mingxiu, but saw nothing, but since the young master said yes, he still ran there.
Not long after, Hai Shisan came back: "There is indeed a family. I asked them about the whereabouts of the young lady, and they all said they didn't see it. However, they told me the residences of several nearby villagers. We can find them one by one. In the past, it’s just a little far away, we’d better split up.”
"En." Ji Mingxiu nodded, and Yan Feijue and Hai Shisan each took two guards and headed in three different directions. Before leaving, he asked the ghost king who he wanted to go with.
The ghost king looked at the three of them, and then at the "small team" behind them, and acted alone angrily!
"Hey! Senior! Senior!..." Looking at the ghost king's figure disappearing in the wind and snow, Yan Fei stomped his feet angrily, "Aren't you afraid of getting lost? I, I, I, I... tell you, if you get lost, are we right?" Will go find you!"
The ghost king, who was flying in the air, made a disdainful face.
The ghost king stopped in front of a small wooden house. He raised his foot and was about to kick towards the door. After thinking for a while, he slowly lowered his foot and raised a hand very gentlemanly—
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…
Qiao Wei had just finished washing her clothes and fell asleep on the bed, but she was so startled by the vigorous knock on the door that she almost fell off the bed!
Qiao Wei regained her composure, put on her shoes, Xiuqin walked over from her room, and said to Qiao Wei: "I'll come, Young Madam, go back to the room and lie down."
Qiao Wei paused, and sat back on the bed silently.
The other party could knock on the door (although the knocking sound was very loud), it should be the nearby residents, if those dead men who were chasing and killing her would definitely break in, thinking so, Xiuqin opened the door for the other party.
But what Xiuqin never expected was that the person standing at the door turned out to be a tall dead man. The difference between a dead man and a normal person cannot be discerned by ordinary people, but she is Ye Luo's Lianjiazi. Maybe you can't see it
Xiuqin had never met the ghost king, so naturally she didn't know him, but the powerful aura on him made her feel that he was more terrifying than any dead man she had ever seen.
Xiuqin closed the door with a bang!
"What's the matter, Xiuqin?" Qiao Wei walked out of the room.
Xiuqin pushed Qiao Wei into the room, and said nervously and fearfully: "It's not good, the dead are chasing us, and they want to kill us!"
Both Xiuqin and Qiao Wei were the targets of the dead, and Qiao Wei had just fallen off a cliff, so it made sense that the other party would send someone to hunt them down.
Qiao Wei's eyes turned cold: "Let's leave through the back door."
Xiuqin said solemnly: "It's too dangerous. Who knows if they have any accomplices nearby? I know that my mother-in-law has a cellar. You take General Mu to hide in the cellar first."
"What about you?" Qiao Wei asked.
Xiuqin said, "I'm going to delay for a while."
Qiao Wei frowned and said, "No, it's too dangerous."
"Why are you talking about this when you leave first?" Xiuqin looked at her stomach, "I can escape, I escaped last time, you and the young master must be well."
Speaking of this, Qiao Wei no longer acts bravely. Even though she has all kinds of skills, she can't do what she usually does when she is concerned about the child in her womb.
Qiao Wei entered the room, picked up General Mu, and walked towards the cellar that Xiuqin had mentioned.
The cellar is just outside the back door in the tree hole of a hundreds of years old tree. It is not difficult to walk, but there is not much movement out of it.
After Qiao Wei went out the back door, Xiuqin wiped two handfuls of black ash on her face, pulled open the front door with all her courage, and said to the ghost king who was still guarding the door: "Are you looking for someone? I don't have one here. I don't believe you." Come in and find."
The ghost king is gone.
Xiuqin closed the door, leaned against the door panel, and let out a long sigh of relief.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the ghost king came back quietly.
Qiao Wei found the big tree hole with General Mu in her arms, opened the "tree door", and walked in with a bowed body.
It was pitch black inside, and she couldn't see anything. She touched a stool-like thing with her feet, and sat down slowly.
After sitting down, she leaned back in the chair.
I always feel that the back of this chair is weird!
A weak voice whispered in her ears: "Hey~"
Qiao Wei: "!"
Qiao Wei was so frightened that she shook her hands and threw Little General Mu out!
