A knife in love

Waking up early the next morning, everyone ate breakfast indiscriminately and packed their bags before continuing to set off.After walking a short distance, the guy who opened the way in front noticed that there were traces of people walking on the snow, so he stopped hurriedly and ran back to report to Ye Fengchun.Ye Fengchun was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately informed Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan of the matter.The three of them rushed to the front in a hurry, only to see a shallow groove stretching forward on the snow. It was obvious that when the heavy snow fell, someone walked by here. There are still traces of walking.

Li Qiufeng turned his head and looked around, only to see that the sky was still gray, and the surrounding mountains, plains, and woods were all covered by heavy snow, and there was no one in sight, and the shallow snow ditch stretched forward and gradually disappeared in the In a forest under a snow peak in the distance.Li Qiufeng looked at the shallow groove, but he didn't have any clue in his mind. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Ye Fengchun, and said, "Mr. Ye, is there a village or town with Fusang people nearby?"

Ye Fengchun gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said: "I sent people here to inquire about the news beforehand, and drew a map. From the map, Hanshan Fishing Village faces the sea to the west and stretches for three hundred miles to the north. Continuous mountains, including many snow-capped mountains, are rarely seen. There are only two fishing villages 150 miles to the south, with a combined population of only 300 people. There are high mountains and deep valleys within [-] miles to the east, and there are several large rivers. There are no villages and towns. In spring, summer and autumn, there are still hunters and herbal gatherers here, and in winter, there are no people. Right now we are traveling eastward. Although we have walked for two days, we have only traveled thirty or forty miles. There are no villages and towns, and it stands to reason that no one should appear here except us."

When Ye Fengchun said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The Matsuda family traveled a day and a night before us. They all ride tall horses, and it is not surprising that they travel hundreds of miles every day. I don't think we will meet them. This heavy snow. Even if they are also trapped by the heavy snow, hundreds of people will never leave such a shallow snow ditch on the snow. Therefore, I think that the trace in front of me is definitely not from the Matsuda family. The guy left behind. As for who is walking in front of us, I can't guess."

As soon as Ye Fengchun finished speaking, Murong Danyan interjected, "Mr. Ye, didn't you send three groups of people to explore the way ahead? Could this trace be left by them?"

As soon as Murong Danyan said this, Ye Fengchun was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, he patted his forehead with his right hand, made a crisp sound of "pa", and said in his mouth, "Damn it, why did you put this piece on?" Things are forgotten!"

When he said this, he bowed to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan again and again, with an embarrassed expression, and said: "There are two hills on the north side of the forest where we rested just now, which can just block the cold wind. Resting in the woods. After the heavy snow fell, they continued to move forward, leaving this shallow ditch in the snow. The next time they were confused, they even forgot about it. It's still Miss Mu who is witty and clever, and awakened the dreamer with a single word, otherwise I will be terrified in my heart, and I don't know what stupid things I will do."

Ye Fengchun was full of flattery, and sent one after another tall hats to Murong Danyan's head.Murong Danyan was very pleased with what she heard at the beginning, but Ye Fengchun became more disgusting when she said it, and praised her to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, she was shocked to be too arrogant, and hurriedly shook her head and said: "Mr. Exaggerated. As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Mr. Ye wanted to lead everyone out of this snow field, but in a hurry, he forgot to send someone to scout the way ahead. It is also human nature. I just opened my mouth. What credit is there?"

Ye Fengchun said with a smile on his face: "Miss Mu is smart and witty, I admire her very much. I hope that Miss Mu will remind me from time to time, and I will definitely benefit from it."

Seeing that Ye Fengchun wanted to brag about himself, Murong Danyan was afraid of offending Li Qiufeng, so he hurriedly said: "Let's leave here as soon as possible, so as not to delay the schedule."

After Ye Fengchun heard Murong Danyan finish speaking, he nodded again and again in agreement, and accompanied Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to move forward.Previously, everyone was walking hard in the snow, and from time to time, some fellows fell into the snow pit. Now there were ditch marks left by the fellows who were exploring the road ahead, and they walked much more easily. Around noon, they walked out Seven or eight miles is the fastest distance traveled in the past few days.

The crowd walked half a mile again, and came to a hillside. Seeing the ditch stretching up the hillside, Ye Fengchun turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan: "Although the hillside is not steep, there are many scars everywhere. It is snow, and it is not easy to climb to the top of the slope, we might as well rest at the bottom of the slope for a while, eat some dry food, and then climb to the top of the slope before it is too late."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan had no objection.The people leaned on their mounts, took out dried meat and water for lunch, and rested for a long time after eating, and then led the mounts to climb to the top of the slope.This hill does not seem to be high, but the groove marks are twists and turns, stretching to the top of the mountain, which is several times longer than the straight up and down.Moreover, the snow on the hillside was extremely thick, making it even more difficult to walk, so everyone went to the top of the slope until it was dark.The top of the slope is fairly flat, and there is a large pine forest on the right.Ye Fengchun pointed to the forest and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan: "It's getting late, it looks like we can only rest in that forest tonight."

After everyone walked into the woods, all the guys were busy setting up the oilcloth shed, lighting a few more fires, and taking out the dried meat to share.Ye Fengchun rubbed his hands and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan: "I didn't think carefully. I thought that after leaving the Hanshan fishing village, I only need to walk for three or four days to meet the village and town. It won't be too late to buy food by then, so I will be ready." The food can only be used for three or four days. Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the Hanshan fishing village, I encountered this heavy snow. It took me three days to walk forty or fifty miles. There was not much food left. Fortunately, I still had some dried meat , enough for another two or three days. Tonight we can only rely on jerky to satisfy our hunger, and we can't bury the pot for cooking."

After hearing what Ye Fengchun said, Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "How can everything go smoothly when you are away from home? Fortunately, Mr. Ye presided over the plan this time, so we didn't go hungry. What's the point of missing a few meals? ?”

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Ye Fengchun hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Li has treated you so generously, I am really ashamed, I hope tomorrow will be a sunny day, just a day or two in the sun, the snow will melt a lot, Naturally, we walked a lot faster. As long as we encounter villages and towns, we can replenish food, so we don’t have to panic.”
