General Qian hated iron when he heard the news, but after a while, he was laughed at by this kid again.
In any case, He Sanlang is a person who values love and righteousness. He did not indulge in military exploits, but chose to rescue his first wife. Such a choice made General Qian value him even more.
Only people who are sentient are called people. If a person is crazy about his wife and children for the sake of fame and wealth, then no matter how talented such a person is, General Qian would rather him disappear from everyone.
He Changdi personally led people to investigate, and after half a day, he finally got some clues.
He Sanlang's tense and sculptural handsome face finally relaxed a little.
He took the best subordinates around him and dared to go to the place pointed by the clue overnight.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face, like blades and stones, but He Changdi seemed not to feel it, shaking the horse's reins and galloping wildly on the dim sky and snow-white Guangyuan.
He found that she couldn't think about Chu Lian, and when she thought about Chu Lian, it felt like someone had stabbed her in the chest, which hurt and hurt.
He suddenly felt very scared. If something really happened to that poisonous woman, he felt that even if he killed everyone, he would not be able to relieve the hatred in his heart.
He Changdi was uneasy and had mixed feelings. Since his rebirth, he thought that all he had left in his life was hatred, and he could be indifferent to everything, but it was obviously less than half a year ago, but he experienced more emotions than in his previous life more than once. And the person who brought all these emotions to him may be in danger at this time.
He Changdi couldn't help but raised the horsewhip in his hand, and the leather whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks. He wanted to hurry up, and hurry up.
He wished he could see Chu Lian now and hug her into his arms to comfort her.
Following behind He Sanlang, Xiao Hongyu, Li Yue, Li Xing and others watched him beating the horse desperately, so they could only grit their teeth and try to keep up.
In the darkness, I finally saw the hillside hidden in the wind and snow.
When He Changdi and his party arrived at the two tents in the middle of the hillside, it was already dark.
The owner of the tent was already sick from the shock of the sudden visit in the morning, and now he saw another one covered in evil spirits, it was really miserable.
He greeted him in a panic, with the most suitable smile on his face. He just raised his hand to entertain this cold-faced gentleman with the most standard Chinese etiquette. The man with the face was pushed down on the snow.
How could He Changdi wait for this man to speak? He took a few long-legged steps, hurriedly, and soon arrived in front of the two tents, and lifted the felt curtains of the tents.
There were more than a dozen floor bunks in a tent, sleeping people of all ages, young and old. He looked at each face, but unfortunately, the woman he was looking for was not there!
He Changdi held back the disappointment in his chest, and walked to another tent. His slender fingers trembled a little, but in the next second, he had already made up his mind.
The curtain flew up in an arc and was lifted by fingers. He Changdi raised his deep eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the tent.
There was nothing in the empty tent, like a sharp knife pierced into his heart in an instant, from containing expectation to hope being emptied, only a short moment.
He Changdi's deep eyes were looking dully at the empty tent at this moment, his heart was blank, only sour and unbearable.
Xiao Hongyu was taken aback when he saw the situation in front of him behind He Changdi. After all, he was still a bystander and could maintain his rationality.
Xiao Hongyu reached out and patted He Sanlang on the shoulder, he turned sideways, and took the lead to enter the camp. He looked around twice, and soon realized that something was wrong.
Crouching down in a corner and touching it, Xiao Hongyu's hands were immediately covered with a layer of dark red soil, she put it between her nose and sniffed, there was a familiar fishy smell, people who have been on the battlefield probably know this It's the smell of blood.
Xiao Hongyu's heart sank, and he said solemnly, "Brother He, come and see here."
He Changdi immediately stepped over to Xiao Hongyu's side in two steps, and when he found that the corner of the tent was really bloodstained, his whole body became stiff.
He pursed his lips and couldn't utter a word, Xiao Hongyu sighed in his heart, it seemed that Brother He really cared about Mr. Jinyi Xiang.
"Brother He, don't think about it, let's ask the owner here, maybe it's someone else's blood."
Until this time, the tent owner was escorted in.
After some interrogation, He Changdi finally relieved his despair after learning that Chu Lian had escaped by himself.
The owner of the tent could tell at a glance that these people could not offend them, so he took He Changdi and his party to the place where the three men and one woman were buried before.
He Changdi carefully inspected the outfits of several people, and when he found tattoos on the same position on several people, he frowned slightly, already convinced that this matter was written by Xiao Bojian.
No matter how careful Chu Lian was, she left some traces in her haste.
He Changdi was surrounded by experts from the northern military camp who specialize in reconnaissance, so he went all the way to find his footprints.
The north wind mixed with snowflakes blowing on the body was icy cold, even though the body was covered with a thick fox fur, the whole body was still unable to keep a little temperature from the cold wind, and the cheeks and hands had been frozen for a long time.
Chu Lian looked at the sky that was getting darker and darker, with a sad expression on his face. If the cold during the day could be tolerated, then if they didn't find a place to spend the night and build a fire to keep warm, they would definitely freeze to death.
Under the white snow, Chu Lian really couldn't tell the direction, and she didn't know if anyone would come after her.
She turned her head and panted to Muren beside her and said, "Muren, ask your mother if she can find a place to spend the night, we will freeze to death if we walk like this."
The young man nodded, and soon Chu Lian heard the young man talking to Wu Lihan in barbaric language.
After Muren nodded to his mother, he frowned and told Chu Lian the result of the discussion with his mother just now, "Sister Chu, my mother said that there is no place to spend the night nearby, and we have to go another ten miles if we want to spend the night .”
Upon receiving such an answer, Chu Lian took a breath.
Ten miles!
In the army, on ordinary roads, a rapid march is only about a hundred miles a day, while ordinary people can walk forty or fifty miles a day at most.
Although they had horses at this time, they were in the icy and snowy northern region, and the snow was knee deep. The horses could travel thirty or forty miles a day without eating or drinking.
Now the sky has dimmed, but the nearest campsite is still ten miles away from them!
It is simply impossible to reach this before the temperature plummets after dark.
Chu Lian turned to look at the middle-aged Wu Lihan, and found that her face was also full of anxiety.
But there is no way to survive on the snowy field.
They have no fire, the ground is covered with thick snow, and the firewood that can be burned is wet and rotten. In front of them is a vast white plain that can't be seen to the bottom, and there is not even a place that can shelter from the wind. There is nothing to do in the face of cruel nature.
Several people seem to have understood their current danger, and death is slowly approaching them like a person without a trace.
The atmosphere among the four became more and more dead silent, Wu Lihan even began to regret bringing Chu Lian out.
She also didn't expect that the snow-covered grassland is so difficult to walk, and it takes more than two days to reach a place that can be reached in one day on weekdays. This is still in the case of not admitting the wrong way.
Chu Lian's clear eyes looked at the white snow in the distance, her dry lips were slightly pursed by the cold wind, and there was a look of determination in her eyes, even she didn't realize that this action in her desperation actually It is so similar to He Changdi.
The sky was getting dark quickly, and the temperature seemed to be taken away by the skylight.
Chu Lian could clearly feel that his body was gradually shaking.
Chu Lian patted Wu Lihan's shoulder suddenly, and said, "Grandma, Muren, we can't go on like this anymore, even if we walk all night, we won't be able to reach the place where we spend the night."
Chu Lian's words were simple, and Wu Lihan obviously understood.
She lowered her head and sobbed in a low voice, saying something in barbaric language with a face full of remorse.
Muren was also full of sadness at this time, he hugged his younger brother's thin body tightly, and translated his aunt's words, "Sister Chu, my aunt said I'm sorry, she shouldn't be so impulsive."
Chu Lian stared at the three mother and son in front of her, her mind was running fast.
She was a half-donkey friend in modern times. She had learned so much knowledge about survival in the wild. There must be a way to help them overcome the current difficulties. There must be, but she just didn't think of it for a while.
Chu Lian tightly held the rein in his hand, lost in thought.
Muren didn't hear her answer, and seeing her dazed look, he thought she was blaming Grandma too, so he bowed his head guiltily.
There was a whistling north wind in my ears, and the horse's hooves made a slight "squeak" sound when they fell on the snow. At this time, the horse under him snorted, and then shook twice as if it couldn't bear the weight on its back.
Chu Lian was attracted by the horse, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
She has a way to stay safe overnight!
Chu Lian's eyes instantly brightened like the brightest stars in the sky.
"Grandma, Muren, I have a way to stay overnight!"
Muren, who had already accepted his fate, widened his eyes in surprise when he heard Chu Lian's words, "Sister Chu, really...really?"
Even Wu Lihan looked at Chu Lian expectantly.
If she can live, who really wants to die, and Ulihan is no exception. Besides, she has two young sons. If she has any hope of surviving, she will even sacrifice her life to let them leave chance of survival.
Chu Lian nodded affirmatively. Although her voice was soft and sweet, it had a calming power, as if people couldn't help but began to trust her.
"We can't go anymore. It will be dark soon, and the temperature will drop soon. Let's stop first, rely on the horses to block the wind, and eat something to restore our strength."
The way she survived will require a lot of physical strength from them for a while, and it will not work without resting or conserving energy, and because the horse has been carrying two people, it may not last long.
