Until dawn, the two people huddled at the foot of the small cliff, with their fox fur cloaks lifted up. Fang Yuan Xifeng looked around dimly. The snow-capped mountains in front of them were endless, and the cold snow and ice were still blowing. Fang Yuan Xi couldn't help but shiver and sneeze.

"Uh…"

After a night, Zhou Jingyu did not freeze to death, and the wound stopped bleeding, but the injury made him very weak. His lips and face turned pale, and his eyes were slightly opened. He looked at Fang Yuanxi's excited and pretty face, and kept signing with his hands. : "Your Highness, you're awake. That's great. We are going to find a doctor to treat your injury..."

As he spoke, Fang Yuanxi went to the tied war horse over there and led it over. Looking at Zhou Jingyu who was not very clear-headed, Fang Yuanxi went over to help him up with difficulty and signaled him to help him onto the war horse.

Zhou Jingyu, who understood Fang Yuanxi's sign language, used up the last of his strength and struggled to get on the horse with her help. As a result, he was so weak that he lay directly on the horse's back.

Fang Yuanxi tidied him up to make sure he wouldn't fall off easily, so she put on the fox fur cloak and led the war horse on the snow to look around. She couldn't find the direction at all, so she chose a direction and led the war horse lying down. Zhou Jingyu was gone on his back.

However, the ancient city of Yuntong, a hundred miles away, had been conquered and occupied by the Xiongnu army.

At the same time, last night, General Wu Jingguo led an army of 30 people. Under the attack of hundreds of thousands of Huns' cavalry, they were defeated. Only a few people fled and escaped the disaster.

Instead, 10,000+ people were already buried under that deep snow.

In one day, millions of Xiongnu cavalry went south and invaded the heart of the Central Plains, completely shocking the Zhou Dynasty. The old emperor received Zhou Jingyu and his 30 troops, and the entire army was wiped out overnight. His Highness the Eighth Prince and Princess Wencheng were missing. The old emperor He was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood and rolled off the throne.

When Fang Liang heard the news that his daughter Fang Yuanxi was alive or dead, his face turned pale and he collapsed in the main hall.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the whole country was in an uproar. It was known that the Xiongnu army of one million people was like a broken bamboo and was igniting war in the Central Plains. Countless people were massacred or displaced.

However, these things could not reach Fang Yuanxi's ears. At this time, she looked haggard and was struggling to hold the horse. Zhou Jingyu, injured and unconscious on her back, was walking in the vast snow.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, but she saw the warm sun appeared in the sky. It was already noon, and Fang Yuanxi felt a little warmth.

"Dad, look quickly."

In the snow forest ahead, a boy of about ten years old holding a bow and arrow and wearing a thick animal skin coat suddenly appeared. He saw Fang Yuanxi leading the war horse Zhou Jingyu in front of him.

Then a man also wearing animal skins came out. It was the boy's father, a prey from a nearby small mountain village. It happened that it didn't snow today, so he went out to look for prey.

"He's from the official family."

The prey looked at Zhou Jingyu who was wearing armor on the horse, so he ran up with his son. When Fang Yuanxi saw them, he was excited at first, and then became vigilant. He immediately pulled out a short knife hanging from the horse, and the prey and his son were stunned. , the little boy shouted: "Sister, my father and I are good people and we are hunters. You see..."

As he spoke, the little boy held up the wild rabbit he had shot, but Fang Yuanxi still did not let down his guard. The Orion man pointed at Zhou Jingyu, who was lying on the horse, with blood dripping from the wound and falling on the snow: "Girl, he is injured. He must be injured." Find a doctor for treatment immediately. Our village is behind the snow forest. If you believe us, follow us back to the village and find our village doctor to see his injury."

"Yes, otherwise he will die." The little boy also said.

Fang Yuanxi looked back at Zhou Jingyu and saw blood dripping from the wound on his left shoulder. She immediately became nervous, put away her dagger and nodded to the Orion father and son, gesturing with both hands.

"Dad, she doesn't seem to be able to speak." The little boy saw that Fang Yuanxi couldn't speak, so he asked him to scratch his head. Fang Yuanxi asked, "Are you willing to come back to the village with us?"

Fang Yuanxi nodded. The Orions understood and went up to help her lead the horse and walked towards the snow forest.

"Sister, is he a general? Are you fighting against the Huns...?"

A series of questions came out of the little boy's mouth, but Fang Yuanxi couldn't speak, and the sign language Orion and his son couldn't understand, so they could only sign the meaning. At least there was no obstacle to simple communication.

Soon, Orion and his son took Fang Yuanxi and Zhou Jingyu back to their small mountain village with their horses.

The small mountain village is not big. They are all thatched buildings with earthen walls, or maybe wooden structures. Cow dung is used to paste the wooden walls on the wooden walls to prevent cold wind. There are only a dozen households and less than a hundred people in the village. Everyone wears thick animal skins. Yi, living by hunting.

"Zhuzi, why did you father and son bring back a girl? And what's going on with the man on horseback? Is he an official?"

When an Orion man named Guan Tiezhu and his son Guan Xueyang came back with Fang Yuanxi and Zhou Jingyu, they were surrounded by the villagers.

"He was a general, and he was injured in the battle with the Huns. My father and I met him on the road, so he brought him back to Uncle Huang for treatment." With that, the little boy ran to call Uncle Huang, the local doctor in their village.

Guan Tiezhu held the war horse, and Fang Yuanxi, under the pointing of many villagers, supported Zhou Jingyu on the war horse and walked towards the village.

After sending Zhou Jingyu to the gate of the thatched mud house of the doctor Huang Uncle, Guan Tiezhu helped Zhou Jingyu into the house from the back of the war horse. The local doctor Huang Uncle didn't ask much, asked Guan Tiezhu to take off Zhou Jingyu's armor, and began to use earthwork While Zi was treating the arrow wound on his left shoulder, Fang Yuanxi stood aside and watched nervously.

It wasn't until Tu Langzhong had bandaged Zhou Jingyu's wound that he turned to Fang Yuanxi and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little girl, his injury is not serious. He is just weak in breath due to excessive blood loss. He will get better after a few days of recovery."

"Sister, let me just say that Uncle Huang is very powerful. The last time my father was attacked by a snow wolf and his belly was bitten, Uncle Huang was able to cure him." Guan Xueyang turned to Fang Yuanxi and said with a smile.

"thanks…"

Fang Yuanxi couldn't speak, so she could only thank Orion's father and son Guan family and Uncle Huang in sign language and bowing.

"It seems that you encountered the Huns army and ended up like this. Otherwise, old man, I still have an empty house here. If the little girl doesn't mind, I can stay with your husband temporarily and wait until he recovers from his injuries before leaving. ." Uncle Huang believed that Fang Yuanxi and Zhou Jingyu were husband and wife.

Fang Yuanxi did not explain, but bowed and thanked Uncle Huang.

The Guan family father and son also went back. Uncle Huang brought water and food to Fang Yuanxi, and she ate without reservation because she was cold and hungry last night. Looking at His Highness who was still unconscious in bed, she finished eating. Fang Yuanxi couldn't stand it anymore, so she lay down beside his earthen bed and fell asleep.

Uncle Huang did not disturb their rest, went out, closed the door, and continued to work on his business.

The villagers were curious, and after asking about it, they stopped watching the fun.

In this way, two days passed.

Daily life in the small mountain village is still the same. Prey hunters like the Guan family and his son will go hunting as long as there is snow. At the same time, Guan Tiezhu will ask his son to send some prey meat to Uncle Huang and Fang Yuanxi.

After all, Uncle Huang is the doctor of their village. If they are injured while hunting, he will heal them. Therefore, whenever the game hunters in the village catch large prey, they will share the meat with Uncle Huang.

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Jingyu, who had been lying on the Tukang in a coma for two days, finally woke up. Fang Yuanxi, who was burning a fire in the room, heard him cough and woke up. He quickly got up and went over. He looked at Zhou Jingyu with excitement and said in sign language: "Your Highness, you Is it better?"

"Yuan, Yuanxi..."

Seeing the familiar pretty face, Zhou Jingyu was excited. He had been drowsy for the past two days, dreamed of many things, and thought he was dead.

Helping Zhou Jingyu to lean on the Tukang quilt, Fang Yuanxi quickly poured him a bowl of hot water and gave it to him to drink.

"Don't drink too much, just drink a little. He just woke up and his stomach is empty. It's not advisable to drink more water. He should drink it slowly in several doses." Uncle Huang came in and said to Fang Yuanxi.

Zhou Jingyu looked at Uncle Huang warily, and Fang Yuanxi said in sign language: "Uncle Huang saved you and kept us here."

Zhou Jingyu, who understood, nodded and said respectfully to Uncle Huang: "Thank you, old man, for saving us."

"Haha. It's okay."

Uncle Huang waved with a smile, then took his pulse. After a moment, he smiled at Zhou Jingyu and said, "The young man is very strong and has recovered well from his injury. He will be fully recovered in a few days."

"Thank you."

Zhou Jingyu thanked him, and Uncle Huang waved his hand and turned around to prepare food for him.

Hearing that His Highness the Eighth Prince was fine, Fang Yuanxi's heart was relieved.

"Yuan Xi, thank you." Zhou Jingyu understood that without Yuan Xi, he would have died and been buried in the snow.

Fang Yuanxi shook his head and smiled, saying in sign language: "As long as His Highness is fine..."
