A knife in love

Chapter 3609

At that time, the sky was already dark, even if Ye Fengchun stood in front of Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, he could only vaguely see his figure. The two men were looking for torches from the bags carried by several horses. I want to light the torches.After Ye Fengchun finished speaking, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan naturally had no objections, and they all asked Ye Fengchun to make his own decision.

Ye Fengchun said with a smile on his face, "there are still residual snow on these high mountains near Taniguchi, and there is also the risk of avalanches, so we must stay away from here and find a flat and sheltered place to rest. What Uncle Li just said There is a forest on the west side of the river, and it is backed by a small hill. At that time, there was no risk of avalanches, and it could also shelter from the cold wind. It was a place where you could rest in peace. If Uncle Li and Miss Mu have no objections, we might as well Go there and rest."

Li Qiufeng laughed and said, "It's all up to Mr. Ye's decision. Li and Miss Mu should follow their own orders."

Ye Fengchun repeatedly said he didn't dare, so he led the crowd back along the way they came from.After walking out for about half a mile, we turned to the northwest again.Sure enough, as Ye Fengchun said, a dark shadow loomed in front of him, and when he got closer, he found that it was a tall forest.After they walked into the woods, they found a mountain nest that could shelter from the wind and stopped. Ye Fengchun ordered several men to build an oilcloth shed, and ordered more than a dozen men to find branches to light several fires, and put the dried meat on the branches. Serve on the flames.Everyone sat around the fire, and the aroma of the barbecue wafted over. Everyone's index fingers were twitching, salivating.

After everyone ate the jerky, they got into the oilcloth shed to rest.Ye Fengchun discussed with several leaders about taking turns to keep vigil at night, and then chatted with Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan for a few words, and then went back to his oilcloth shed to rest.Li Qiufeng sat cross-legged on the oilcloth, and was about to meditate and practice Qi, but Murong Danyan was worried, and whispered: "Brother Li, do you think we can find a detour?"

Li Qiufeng pondered for a while, and then said to Murong Danyan: "The big river we walked was twenty or thirty feet wide. Such a wide river must have flowed through many places. Although Fusang Kingdom is completely different from Zhongtu, everyone Wherever there are great rivers, there must be people living there. Although the man Ye Fengchun sent to explore the road said that the source of the great river was in the deep mountains, he only returned here in a hurry, only seeing the great river coming from the mountains in the north. As for where the source is, I’m afraid he doesn’t know. Right now we’re stuck here with no basis for advancing or retreating. We can’t just sit here and wait for the spring to bloom and the snow to melt? So it’s better to follow the river. Go north, maybe you can find your way out of here."

After hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Murong Danyan knew that he had no idea, and that the reason why he wanted to go north along the river was just to try to find the way, and his heart became more and more uneasy.After chatting with Li Qiufeng for a few words, a burst of tiredness surged up, Murong Danyan wrapped the blanket tightly, lay sideways on the oilcloth, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Li Qiufeng sat cross-legged, slowly moving his true energy through his limbs and bones, his whole body was extremely comfortable, and his heart was emptied.At this time, he seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, his mind was wandering, as if he was walking against the wind in the air, his body was warm and very comfortable.I don't know how long it took before he suddenly heard a very slight abnormal sound. At first he thought it was the "cracking" sound when the branches were burning in the fire, but he was immediately surprised that something was wrong, because although the branches were burning, they would also make abnormal noises. , but the sound was messy and there was no trace to follow, but at this time the abnormal sound he heard was very uniform, and the interval of the sound was clearly discernible, very much like the sound of footsteps.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng immediately opened his eyes, put his left hand on the ground, jumped up like a civet cat, and stood silently on the tarpaulin.

At this time, all the men had fallen into a deep sleep, and only one night watchman was sitting by the fire, adding branches to the fire from time to time.When Li Qiufeng jumped up, the guy didn't notice at all, he was still warming himself by the fire by himself.Li Qiufeng listened attentively, and the very slight abnormal sound came from the northeast side.He thought to himself, the strange noise came from the snow-covered river, and it sounded like footsteps.Fortunately, this forest is surrounded by hills. If someone walks through the river, they will not easily see the fire here.It's just that if someone really passes by, once they walk to the place where the river is parallel to the southern end of the hill, they can find the fire.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng quickly walked behind the night watchman, lowered his voice and said to him: "Quickly put out the fire!"

The guy didn't know that Li Qiufeng had woken up, and suddenly heard someone talking behind him, he was so frightened that he was about to open his mouth and scream.Li Qiufeng had been on guard for a long time, before he could make a sound, he moved his left hand like the wind, and poked the buddy's "Dazhui point".The guy opened his mouth, but he hadn't made a sound yet, his body had already become stiff, and there were two muffled "ho ho" in his throat, but he didn't make a sound.Li Qiufeng turned to him and whispered, "Someone is coming nearby, the fire must be extinguished to avoid being discovered!"

The buddy recognized Li Qiufeng at this time, so he was relieved.Seeing that he recognized him, Li Qiufeng unlocked his acupuncture points.The buddy was about to speak, but Li Qiufeng waved his hand to him, signaling that he didn't need to say more.The man nodded, stretched out his hands to pick up a large piece of snow from the ground, and threw it towards the fire in front of him.Li Qiufeng turned around and ran to the tarpaulin shed where Ye Fengchun was resting, and lowered his voice to wake him up.Ye Fengchun was sleeping soundly, woke up hastily, saw Li Qiufeng standing in front of him, was startled, was about to speak, Li Qiufeng lowered his voice and said: "Someone is coming nearby, we have to set the fire Destroy and prepare to meet the enemy."

Ye Fengchun was startled, and hurriedly got up from the oilcloth, and said in a trembling voice, "Perhaps, perhaps, the guys who were watching the night near the left came back to change shifts, maybe..."

Li Qiufeng didn't wait for Ye Fengchun to finish, and rushed to say: "The voice came from the northeast side, and it was very far away from the forest. Mr. Ye ordered his staff to keep watch at night, but he was only guarding at the edge of the forest. It's not a guy, and there's more than one person listening to the voice."

At this time Ye Fengchun was already awake. After hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he hurriedly nodded in agreement, turned around and rushed into an oilcloth shed next to him, woke up the eight or nine men who were resting in the oilcloth shed, and told them not to make a sound, hurry up Put out the fire.All the guys hurriedly got up, picked up the snow on the ground and threw them towards the fire.After a while, all the fellows had woken up, some held up snow cubes to put out the fire, some drew their knives, and stood by Ye Fengchun's side for orders.At this moment, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, and someone was approaching on the snow.Ye Fengchun was startled, and hastily lowered his voice to order all the staff to prepare to meet the enemy, but before they could line up, someone whispered from a few meters away: "Boss, someone is coming from outside the forest!"
