peasant queen

Chapter 177

Did the Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle disappear because of a mission?I don't know if the general has sent someone to look for it?

Thinking that there has been no news for such a long time, it is estimated that there is more than good luck.Jiang Wan felt sad, but she still prayed that the two uncles would come back safely.

After thanking the guarding soldiers, Jiang Wan went shopping in the street again.See if there are any houses for rent here.

Jiang Wan didn't know how long she was going to stay here, it was not safe or convenient to stay in the inn all the time.So I thought about renting a house.

She inquired around on the street, found a few shops, and finally found a small courtyard that could be rented.

Jiang Wan didn't expect that all houses in Shacheng are for sale, and few people come to rent houses.The small courtyard she was looking at was rented because it could not be sold.

The small courtyard that Jiang Wan rented was not big, and it was not far from the gate of the city.

When they came to the small courtyard, Jiang Wan led the horse to the backyard first.Then I started tidying up the yard.

After everything was packed, Jiang Wan took some food from the space and finished it.Then he took the pillow and quilt from the heavy space, spread it on the bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Wan put all her belongings in the house into the space.Then he led the horse out of the city, and Jiang Wan was going to find her eldest brother Jiang Ronggan outside the city.

Jiang Wan wrapped her head and face completely, and went west along the main road after leaving the city.

*****
In a mountain depression at the junction of Ximo Dongshang and Beihan Three Kingdoms, more than a dozen men huddled together to keep warm.

They were wearing Dongshang's military uniforms, stuffing snow into their mouths with trembling hands.If Jiang Wan was here, she would definitely recognize them. Aren't these two her elder brother and third uncle?
Jiang Ronggan and his teammates have been trapped here for five days.

It is covered with snow all the year round and the temperature is low. Normally, no one would come here.

Jiang Rong dared that their team was fighting against Ximo like the other teams.Later, a strong wind came out of nowhere, and there was a thick layer of dust in the wind.

In order to avoid the strong wind, the two armies who were fighting stopped fighting by coincidence.

After the storm passed, Jiang Ronggan and his teammates could not find their army when they woke up.There is sand all around, and no one can be seen at all.

Seeing that he couldn't find anyone, the deputy captain he was with followed his own experience.

Leading the team of only ten people, they found a direction to move forward.Walk all the way, pick up people all the way.In the end, the team of 12 people suddenly expanded to more than 30 people.

But they didn't know that this direction was wrong, and walked out of Dongshang somehow.

When they came to the territory of West Desert, they happened to meet a troop of cavalry patrolling in West Desert.Being chased and killed by people from West Desert, the team of more than 30 people was cut in half.

The rest of the people retreated while fighting, and finally fled to this mountain depression.

It may be because there are many mountains here, and it is not easy for horses to walk on mountain roads.It may also be because this place has already exceeded the boundaries of the Western Desert.

In short, those West Desert people gave up chasing and killing them.But they were guarding at the foot of the mountain with bows and arrows on their backs, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to escape.

So, Jiang Ronggan and his team were trapped here.

Five days have passed, and the dry food on my body has been eaten up.Even the two remaining war horses were killed and eaten. If this continues, they will starve to death if they are not frozen to death.

One of them was probably too hungry, so he threw the snow in his hand to the ground and said, "I don't want to eat snow, I want to go down the mountain and go back to Shacheng."

With that said, he picked up the big knife on the side and was about to go down the mountain.

The people beside him hurriedly grabbed her and said, "I can't go down, going down at this time is going to kill me!"

"It's better to die than starve to death here." The man threw off the opponent and wanted to rush down the mountain.

After only two steps, he was knocked unconscious by the deputy captain in front with a knife on the back of the head.Then he said to the people around him, "Drag him aside for me."

Jiang Chengyi, who was beside Jiang Ronggan, glanced at the person being dragged away and said, "Ronggan, what shall we do?"

"I don't know what to do, I'd better listen to the captain!" Jiang Rong dared to reply.

Jiang Chengyi grabbed a snowball from the side and stuffed it into his mouth, saying: "I think so, the captain is more experienced than us.

He has been here for several years, and he has fought dozens of wars with the people of the West Desert. He must know the people of the West Desert better than we do.

He hasn't decided to go down the mountain for so long, he must be thinking of a surefire plan. "

Jiang Rong dared not speak, because he didn't know what the captain was thinking.

They were trapped here for five days, and the captain did not see any action.I hope the captain is really thinking of a way, if not...

Jiang Rong dared to think about the latter, and he was unwilling to think about it.

He told himself in his heart, wait another day.If the captain doesn't move tomorrow, he will take his third uncle and find a way to leave.

It was getting late, the wind was getting stronger and the temperature was dropping sharply.Everyone had to squeeze tighter.

Jiang Rong dared to feel that today was much worse than the previous nights.

The night before was cold, but there was no wind.Moreover, at that time, there was dry food and horse meat to eat, so it didn't feel too cold.

Unexpectedly, not only was there no food and horse meat, but there was also a wind.This is how to do?
In the middle of the night, Jiang Rong dared to fall asleep in a daze like everyone else.

Suddenly, Jiang Rong dared to find that his whole body was on fire, and he couldn't put it out no matter how hard he tried.After a while, he said that he fell into the ice cave and shivered from the cold.

The hot and cold suddenly woke him up.

After waking up, Jiang Ronggan realized that he was dreaming.But soon he noticed something was wrong.

The third uncle next to him developed a high fever, and his whole body was scalded to death.Jiang Ronggan quickly grabbed a handful of snow from the side and put it on Jiang Chengyi's forehead.

Putting snow on Jiang Chengyi's forehead, Jiang Rong dared to move his body and was about to continue sleeping.

It was found that a person on the other side was cold all over.

Jiang Rong dared to reach out and touch it quickly, and found that his whole body was as cold as the stone behind him, icy and cold.

He put his hand under the other's nose without giving up, without any heat.The whole person is like an ice cube.

Jiang Ronggan's whole heart went cold, and what he had been worried about all along still happened.

He hurriedly went to look at the others, hoping that this was the only one.

Jiang Rong dared to wake up people one by one. Those who couldn't wake up were frozen to death just like the people around him.

Jiang Rong dared to work with everyone to move those who died of freezing to the other side.

A total of six people froze to death, including the one in Jizhong who said he was going down the mountain.

Originally a team of [-] people, six of them died all of a sudden.Now only eleven remain.

But when Jiang Rong dared to count the number of people, he realized something was wrong.There were only ten people among them, including Jiang Chengyi who was lying on the ground.

These people were originally patched together, and few of them knew each other at all.

That is to say, during the few days of being stuck together, we got to know each other a little better.But did not say a few words.

In order to find out who was missing, Jiang Rong dared to ask everyone to stand in a row.He checked carefully in front of everyone, and finally determined that the missing person was the deputy captain.
