They walked for a whole day without seeing a single person. There were only towering trees. When they got to the back, there was no road at all. They could only walk through the woods.

Before dark, Leng Yi found a shelter and pitched a tent for the night. Leng Yi often used holidays to go out for rock climbing and needed to camp in the wild. So he was used to it. However, although Zhuo Qiaoniang was a child in the countryside, she never

I had never been in the wild, so I was very frightened. I hugged my husband and refused to let go.

The night passed peacefully without any danger, and Zhuo Qiaoniang felt a little at ease.

After walking for another whole day, they finally arrived at the foot of Ghost Ax Cliff in the evening.

This is really a dangerous cliff that can only be formed by extraordinary workmanship. The entire mountain wall is almost vertical, and many places are even protruding. After Leng Yi observed it, he was very excited, like a martial arts fanatic who met a powerful person.

The opponent's muscles all over his body tensed involuntarily.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was nervous and scared, and said: "Guanren, we..., do we really want to..., want to climb up from here?"

"Yes! Tomorrow morning, we will start climbing. Don't worry, I'm here. I'll be in front and lift you up all the way. You almost don't need to climb by yourself. Of course, I will let you climb in easier places.

It’s a paragraph, just feel it.”

"Okay then..." At this point, Zhuo Qiaoniang could only bite the bullet.

When she reached a high place, she inadvertently looked back and saw clouds and mist, which was dazzling. She was so frightened that she turned pale and clung to the gap in the cliff. Her whole body trembled: "Guardian..."

Leng Yi fixed another piton, turned to look at Zhuo Qiaoniang, and said, "Let go of your hand and I will pull you up!"

Zhuo Qiaoniang had repeated this action many times before. Because she was only looking up and not down, she didn't feel too scared. So she went up more easily according to Leng Yi's request. However, this time

, after looking at the bottom of the cliff, she was really scared, so she clung to the crack in the rock. She refused to let go, closed her eyes tightly, and cried.

At this moment, I felt a breeze beside me, and Leng Yi's gentle voice came to my ears: "Qiao Niang, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Zhuo Qiaoniang slowly opened her eyes and saw Leng Yi's resolute face. He was already standing next to her, holding her arm firmly with one hand.

"Officer...!" Zhuo Qiaoniang cried aggrievedly. She was also a little embarrassed because of her fear.

Leng Yi said: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, I have caught you, you can let go, just like me! Remember, don't look down."

"Yes!" Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded. Even if she was asked to look down now, she would not dare to look down. She imitated Leng Yi's posture, supported the cliff with both feet, released one hand, and grabbed the rope. At the same time,

, grabbed the rope with his other hand, and gave Leng Yi a forced smile.

Leng Yi slowly let go of her arm and said: "I'll go up first and then pull you up. Just follow the movements I taught you and just walk up. Don't worry about anything else. Don't worry, you have two

Each rope is enough to support your weight and ensure your safety. Everything will be fine."

Leng Yi had already told her these words when she started climbing. However, when she heard them again, she felt particularly at ease. Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded and said, "I understand, sir, please go up!"

Leng Yi climbed up very nimbly, then pulled the rope and pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang up.

In this way, at noon, Zhuo Qiaoniang finally reached the top of Guixu Cliff.

She sat down on the cliff with her whole body weak, holding her hands on the ground, looking at the mountains at her feet, feeling an indescribable sense of relaxation, a feeling of ecstasy.

Leng Yi sat next to her, looked at her and said, "How is it?"

"It's quite fun!" Zhuo Qiaoniang said sincerely, turning her head and looking at him, "I don't know yet that Guanren can climb such a cliff! Did Guanren go up the mountain to cut firewood when he was a child, and he often climbed cliffs to practice it?

of?"

"Yes!" Leng Yi said casually: "When I was a child, I was naughty and liked to climb cliffs. Once, I saw those people who went up the mountain to collect medicine, using ropes to climb the cliffs like this, so I learned from them. Once I learned it, I practiced it myself. In fact,

, it’s nothing special, wouldn’t you know how to do it today?”

Zhuo Qiao Niang said: "You pulled me up. If I had climbed up on my own, I wouldn't be able to climb up even if I was beaten to death."

"Don't worry, we will often come to rock climbing when we are free in the future. You will learn it soon."

"I still like officials to pull me up! Hehe." Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled mischievously.

Leng Yi looked distressed, hugged her and kissed her on her sweaty face.

After resting for a while, Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Shall we go down from here?"

"No, let's not go back. Let's take a detour and go down the gentle slope. After a day of repair, let's climb again."

"Okay!" Zhuo Qiaoniang has become interested in rock climbing. Anyway, with her husband's protection, she has confidence in her heart. She stood up with a smile, looked at the horizon, and said: "Then let's go, the sky is cloudy over there.

It’s heavy, I’m afraid it’s going to snow!”

"It's already spring, so even if it rains, it won't be too big," Leng Yi said.

This time, Leng Yi guessed wrong. When they were looking for a way to go down the mountain, heavy goose feathers of snow began to fall from the sky. Soon, the ground was completely white. There was still a lot of residual snow among the woods.

This heavy snowfall made it even more difficult for them to move.

When they walked to the back, the heavy snow had blocked their view. They could not find the way down the mountain.

Zhuo Qiaoniang nervously held Leng Yi's arm. She recalled the scene before the New Year when they were carrying gold on their backs and encountered a snowstorm on the mountain road. That time was okay, because at least they were on the path leading to Fucheng, and this time

, they were completely walking in the vast virgin forest, with no roads and no homes at all.

Leng Yi felt that Zhuo Qiao Niang was shivering from the cold. He knew that he could not continue walking like this and had to find shelter from the wind and wait for the wind and snow to pass before going down the mountain. Anyway, they came out to avoid the assassins, so there was no rush.

go back.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand up, and an inexplicable fear made his muscles all tense. He immediately stopped, and felt the horror coming from behind. He turned around sharply, and saw

In the dim wind and snow, there was a pair of green eyes, staring at them coldly. Then, as the eyes moved forward, a snow-white wolf appeared in front of them.

Leng Yi pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang down behind her, stared at the wolf, raised his hand and opened the mechanism of the throwing knife box on his left upper arm. He aimed at the wolf.

However, then, he immediately discovered two other wolves, appearing on their left and right.

In this way, the three wolves formed a semi-surrounding force and surrounded them.

Leng Yi lowered his arms instead. At this time, he needed to carefully feel the movements of the three wolves to determine how to take action. Most importantly, he also needed to see if there were other wolves.

The three wolves moved forward slowly, looking absent-minded. In fact, they were choosing the best time to attack.

Although Zhuo Qiaoniang was so frightened that she just wanted to hold Leng Yi, she still controlled herself and let go of Leng Yi's hand, not even grabbing his clothes, and even took a pair of

He clenched his pink fist tightly and put on a desperate stance. However, his eyes were tightly closed due to extreme fear.

Leng Yi deliberately turned his head to stare at the hungry wolf on the left, leaving his back to the one on the right. Sure enough, the wolf on the right arched its front legs, raised its head, opened its big mouth, and bit the back of Leng Yi's neck!

Leng Yi suddenly turned around, whoosh! A flying knife shot out from the wolf's big mouth and penetrated the back of the head!

The wolf's corpse hit Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiao Niang hard, knocking Zhuo Qiao Niang down, but Leng Yi took advantage of the situation to turn around and shoot another missile at the wolf who took the opportunity to sneak attack from the other side.

Knife, before the wolf had time to get up, he shot the flying knife into its head!

The wolf directly in front was obviously subdued. It stood there in shock, not knowing whether it should jump up to attack or run away.

At this moment, there was a whooshing sound from the bowstring, and a sharp arrow flew out, hitting the wolf right in the belly!

The wolf howled, turned around and ran away, and then another arrow flew and hit the wolf in the chest. The wolf ran a few steps, fell to the ground and died.

There are no homes in this deep mountain and dense forest for hundreds of miles, so how can there be hunters?

Leng Yi cautiously pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang behind him and looked at the direction where the bow and arrow was coming.

After a moment, I saw two people rushing out of the wind and snow, a dark-faced man and a sturdy woman. They both held bows and arrows in their hands, looking at them with vigilant eyes. The woman said: "Who are you?"

What are you doing here?"

Leng Yi said: "We went up the mountain to collect Wulingzhi medicine. We encountered wind and snow and could not go down the cliff to collect medicine. We encountered a wolf. You shot the wolf and saved us, right? Thank you very much!"

The black-faced man ignored Leng Yi, walked to the dead wolf, pulled out the arrow shaft, and then walked to the other two wolves. He squatted down and saw the flying knife on the dead wolf's head. He couldn't help but take a breath and turned around to look.

Looking at Leng Yi, his eyes were full of awe: "This..., this flying knife, was shot by your Excellency?"

Leng Yi smiled, walked over and easily pulled out the two throwing knives, and said, "Are you the hunters nearby?"

"Yes..., yes! Hehe"

"That's not right!" Leng Yi said, "I heard that there are no other houses within a hundred miles around here."

"We, we also come here to hunt, we live far away."

"Where to stay?"

The black-faced man turned around and pointed in the distance: "It's far away, more than a hundred miles away."

Leng Yi didn't ask any more questions and said, "The snow is very heavy. I'm afraid we will be stuck on the mountain."

The woman came over and said, "We often hunt here. There is a cave right in front. If you don't mind, come with us to go there to escape the wind and snow."

"Okay! Thank you very much! - What do you call me?"

The black-faced man said: "My surname is He. Because my face is black, people call me He Hei Lian. This is my wife, whose surname is Lu. He is older than you, so let's call him Mrs. Lu. Where are you two?"

Leng Yi said: "My surname is Leng, and this is my wife. For convenience on the road, she disguised herself as a man."

"Oh, Brother Leng! Let's go!" (To be continued)
