It was dark again, and the wind and snow never stopped.

"My lord, no, you must go back to the valley!" Qing Lan didn't know how many times she had persuaded Tang Ling, but she couldn't persuade her, but Tang Ling was weak, and he couldn't bear the wind and snow that others could bear. , "Young master, you are already on fire, you can't go on like this!"

When Baixiqiao walked over, Tang Ling's complexion was not good, and everyone's complexion was also not good. They were all flushed from the cold, and he couldn't tell whether it was a fever or frostbite.

"Young Master Tang, please go back.

Xiaoer will be worried. "

Tang Ling looked up at Baixi Bridge, with tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and held back.

"Chi Yue, you send the young master back."

Chi Yue stood up and walked towards Tang Ling: "Please, Mr. Tang."

People who were going crazy in anxiety before seem to have been frozen by the wind and snow, their five senses will be numb, pain will also be numb, and all worries and anxieties will eventually turn into despair.

Tang Ling looked at Chi Yue silently for a while, nodded slightly, and was supported by Qing Lan, and sent back to the valley by Chi Yue.

It was also snowing in the valley, but the snow melted quickly after falling, leaving a layer of hoarfrost on the weeds and mudstones, which shone slightly in the dark night, completely different from the wind and snow that devoured the world outside the valley. The snow is beautiful, and the outside is purgatory.

Tang Ling had been outside for too long, either sitting or standing, her body was already so cold that she couldn't feel it, and she couldn't hold it any longer. As soon as she entered the valley, when the gentle breeze blew, her feet were soft and she almost fell Fortunately, Qing Lan supported him.

Chi Yue glanced at Tang Ling, picked him up, and quickly walked back to the cabin.

"You look at the son first, I'll make the medicine."

Qing Lan was talking, first lit the charcoal basin in the house, and then told Chi Yue, "You have been frozen for a long time, so you can't directly warm yourself by the fire, first rub yourself warm."

Chi Yue nodded.

He poured himself a glass of cold water and downed it in one gulp.

"Don't go out."

Tang Ling propped herself up on the bed and sat up, "It's windy and snowy during the day and you can't go out, but now it's night, if you go out, you're going to die."

Chi Yue turned his back and didn't look at Tang Ling, standing in the distance for a long time.

"You shouldn't be such an impulsive person."

"I won't die."

Tang Ling couldn't imagine the peril Chi Yue had experienced for so many years, so what about the blizzard, "I will bring him back."

"Don't go out!" Tang Ling stopped Chi Yue just as he raised his leg, "If you must go, you have to wait until dawn."

Chi Yue stood still.

"I've been waiting for four days, this night is not bad."

"Don't you like Your Highness? Why don't you let me go? If you can get him back, wouldn't it be good for you? Even if you can't, even if I die, it doesn't make any difference in the current situation, does it?"

"Your Majesty handed over the Tiance Camp to Qi Xiao and put you next to Qi Xiao. Do you think you are useless? Is it dispensable? If you die here, the matter of cutting Qi will only become more difficult." , it’s better to just give up and return.”

"If something happens to His Highness, it will be hopeless."

"According to what Baixiqiao said, the place where they got lost is about fifteen miles away from the camp. Even if you are extremely light-handed, you can not only recognize the direction in the wind and snow, but also see things in the dark, and find the place where they got lost. You can't find anyone.

They will definitely find a place to hide in such a blizzard.

If you have to go, go at dawn tomorrow and bring firecrackers and fireworks with you.

Waiting at the place where they were separated, Qi Xiao must still be nearby. "

"...Are you so sure?" Chi Yue knew that Tang Ling was right. If it was him, he would avoid the wind and snow and wait for the sky to clear.

But Qi Xiao didn't come back for four days, maybe he encountered some unexpected situation and might not be able to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow, or he was forced to wait in place?

"With such a heavy snowstorm, he wouldn't take the risk of finding his way back, not to mention that if he really fell into a ravine, there would most likely be wounded soldiers, so it's wisest to stay put and wait for rescue.

If there is a reason to leave, he will definitely leave a mark, and you will miss it when it gets dark. "

"...Okay, I'll wait until dawn."

Tang Ling closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "If the wind and snow don't stop, even if you find them, you won't be able to bring them back."

"I'll bring people back."

"If possible, Qi Xiao would have been back long ago."

In such a big snowstorm, the level of lightness skill is not important at all.

"At least, I want to find someone."

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

Tang Ling opened her eyes and looked at Chi Yue: "Why are you so anxious? I trust him, nothing will happen."

Chi Yue turned around and looked at Tang Ling. Qi Xiao might be fine, but Zong Sheng might not. With his stubborn nature, if there was any danger, he would definitely protect Qi Xiao with all his might, and would not care about his own life at all.

Everyone was nervous about Qi Xiao, but he wanted to protect Zong Sheng.

Ten years ago, he broke Zong Sheng's leg. At that time, he understood that he had nothing in his life. I don't know when he regarded him as more important than his own life.

Chi Yue never expected extravagantly before. Zong Sheng didn't know when he left the Wudu Mansion, Zong Sheng didn't know that he had suffered all the humiliation and torture in the Capital Mansion, and Zong Sheng didn't know about the yearning he had hidden in his heart for ten years.

Finally God opened his eyes, they met again, that fool hugged him and liked him, he couldn't help but have extravagant hopes, now he can't do without him.

"...Are you in love with him?" Tang Ling was shocked to see the heart-wrenching affection in Chi Yue's eyes.

Chi Yue was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "It's not Your Highness."

"...It's Zong Sheng?!" Tang Ling was even more shocked. He didn't notice it at all. When did it happen?

Chi Yue was silent, Tang Ling couldn't continue asking.

Chi Yue is a ghost that makes Tang Ling feel terrible, because he is ruthless and treats himself and everyone else with indifference.

But when he had feelings in his heart, he became a pitiful and pathetic person.

"Son."

Qing Lan opened the door and came in, walked past Chi Yue, put the food box on the table, took the medicine bowl and brought it to Tang Ling, "Drink while it's hot."

Turning back to Chi Yue, he said, "I made ginger tea, and you drink a bowl to warm up."

Chi Yue looked at Qing Lan, then at Tang Ling, walked to the table silently, and drank the ginger tea.

***

Qi Xiao hid in a mountain depression. There was no dry firewood and no fire to light.

When they fell, two people were killed on the spot, and the others were more or less injured. One of them broke his leg, and the leg bone pierced the skin and protruded outside. They managed to stop the bleeding for him. But he didn't even make it through the first night.

Later that night, two more people froze to death.

Up to now, there are 12 of them left, four of them have a high fever, and I don't know if they can survive tonight.

When they just fell, Qi Xiao knew that the situation was not good. Although the ravine was not too deep, it was about three people taller by visual inspection. Normally, Qi Xiao and Zong Sheng could climb up, but the wind and snow were too heavy for them to climb up. There is nowhere to borrow.

The sound of shouting was also swallowed by the wind and snow, and the movement of the people above could not be heard at all.

Qi Xiao immediately divided the people into two groups. Those who were injured took care of the seriously injured. By the way, they counted the dry food. Those who were slightly injured and could still move went with him to dig soil in the ravine, before dark on the steep mountain wall. A hole was dug, and everyone barely hid in it, keeping warm together.

In order to prevent the entrance of the cave from being blocked by wind and snow, they had to shovel snow every half an hour, and some of it was melted into water for drinking.

After four days, most of the cave has been dug. They built up large rocks outside the entrance of the cave, which can keep out some wind and snow. Will be suffocated, and still have some energy left to shovel snow.

Qi Xiao squatted back into the cave, returned to Zong Sheng's side, and shook the snow wrapped in his robe onto Zong Sheng's body.

Zong Sheng has had a fever for two days, Qi Xiao is afraid that others will be cold, but he is even more afraid that Zong Sheng has a severe fever.

When Zong Sheng fell, in order to protect Qi Xiao, he used his body to cushion him, and his back was bruised badly, but Zong Sheng didn't say anything, until he had a fever, and Qi Xiao didn't realize that the wound on his back had festered and was in a mess .

"Grandpa, has the snow stopped?"

"No."

"it's dark?"

"Ah."

Qi Xiao gently wiped Zong Sheng's forehead with snow. He was very hot and his complexion was very bad. Qi Xiao had never seen him so sick.

Zong Sheng closed his eyes and said softly, "The snow will stop at dawn tomorrow."

That's what Zong Sheng said yesterday...
