Chapter 43: Life and Death (Part 2)
The snow in the mountains became heavier and the temperature in the valley was slightly higher and it was slightly better. The more you walked up the mountain, the more violent the wind and snow became. When Jian Wujian climbed halfway up the mountain, the fierce cold wind was like a knife.
The two brothers of the Xue family supported each other and followed behind.
The two martial artists are slightly better. After all, they are famous figures for a long time, and have a certain degree of internal strength.
In contrast, the two brothers of the Xue family were all young and had a lot of hard skin and flesh. They were already halfway up the mountain, and their faces turned blue and trembled all over.
Seeing Jian Wuzheng running wildly ahead, Lao Ding sighed. He ran around the mountains like headless flies, when will he find his lady?
The chubby Lao Jia patted Lao Ding on the shoulder: "Don't sigh, follow me, he is much more familiar with this area than we do."
Lao Ding nodded and gritted his teeth to keep up. The wound on his body was getting more and more painful under the ravage of the cold wind.
Jian Wuzheng stared at the remaining traces on the ground all the way.
Fortunately, the guy who plundered the two of them was the same as him, and had no light skills to cultivate. He left deep footprints on the two of them. However, as the snow became heavier and heavier, the footprints became more and more difficult to identify. The time it took to identify the footprints to be longer, and such a vicious cycle. I am afraid that the clues on the ground would be broken in no time.
The two martial artists behind him were still complaining about the mirage they met, muttering that if it weren't for the mirage, they would have gone to save the lady long ago.
Jian Wuzheng sneered in his heart. If the incense had not burned in time and relieved the poisonous miasma in the air, these people would have died of poison in the mirage without realizing it, and it would have been the turn of pretending now?
The Xue brothers obviously also discovered that Jian Wuming's speed slowed down. They tried hard to catch up and realized that it was the teacher who was not very capable of searching.
Xue Yong trembled and said reluctantly: "Sir, go behind us, sir. We brothers were constables before committing the crime. Although they have been abandoned for several years, they have never forgotten the most basic search technology."
Jian Wuming was a little bit skeptical, but when he saw the two brothers quickly recognize the direction of their footprints and run straight to the mountainside, he could barely believe it in his heart. After all, it is better to treat a dead horse as a living horse than not.
Others don’t think anything about it. Anyway, the place is not familiar, so follow the two brothers of the Xue family to rush forward.
On the contrary, Jian Wuzheng became more and more shocked as he walked forward. Not far ahead was the famous water curtain cave on Huaguo Mountain. It was surrounded by twists and turns, not to mention the night, even during the day, whether it could be out was different.
If life is not satisfactory, eight out of ten.
Jian Wuzhengyue didn't want to enter the water curtain cave, but his footprints just went into the cave.
The five people outside the cave knew that the enemy was dark and we were clear, so they couldn't help but hesitate again and again.
After hesitating for a long time at the entrance of the cave, Jian Wuzheng gritted his teeth and broke off a branch as thick as a bowl from the pine tree next to him, and lit it with a broken piece in his arms.
The rest followed suit.
Five torches emitting black smoke gradually disappeared into the water curtain cave.
A few dozen miles outside Haizhou City, Lao Lu urged the red horse under his crotch, but the horse refused to take a step forward. Instead, he tried to throw Lao Lu off his back again and again, which made Lao Lu angry.
It was just a letter to the young master, but it was impossible to delay it for a moment. This stubborn horse had a temper at this time.
I felt angry in my heart, and my hands were inevitably gone. I whipped hard on the horse's butt and threw out four or five drops of blood beads. The horse was in pain and the man stood up.
Lao Lu missed the move and was thrown off his horse.
The horse regained its freedom at the sight, and ran towards Haizhou City. No matter how fast the person ran, how could he run over the horse? Seeing that the horse ran away, Lao Lu could only throw his whip to the ground with hatred.
Fortunately, there was a village four or five miles ahead. Lao Lu had to hike to the village, hoping that there would be an old horse in this village, without a horse, and a donkey. Four legs are always faster than two legs.
After about a cup of tea, Lao Lu rushed to the small village with a breath.
Every household in the village has a wide door, like a deserted village.
Who wouldn’t you get numb to your scalp when you hit this situation in the middle of the night?
Old Lu took a few breaths and calmed down for a while, then he plucked up his courage and shouted: "Is there anyone in the village?"
