The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 321 Chapter 310

The three of them hurried all the way, the road was much easier now, the three of them were moving extremely fast, and when the sun was about to set, the three of them finally arrived at a position four or five miles away from the snow-capped mountain.

Looking at the majestic snow mountain, the three of them finally felt their insignificance.

Jiang Ruiyuan reined in the horse and jumped off the horse.

Tieniu saw it and asked, "Brother Jiang, why don't you go forward?
Why don't we spend the night in this place?

At night, if the wind blows in this place, will it kill us? "

Jiang Ruiyuan shook his head.

"Brother Tieniu, you don't know, but the place we stay is the safest place.

Even if the avalanche on the mountain comes down, it won't be able to slip back to the place where we are staying. Bijing is still several miles away from the snow mountain.

Do you think so? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, there is a certain reason. I think it's better for us not to go into the mountains. If we walk a few more miles, once we go into the mountains, it will be a mess. If something unexpected happens, we won't lose more than we gain. We can't afford to take that risk!"

"Well! Since none of you are willing to leave, well, let's camp near here.

Before it gets dark, let's find a place to rest for the night on this wasteland, and see if we can find the most suitable place. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine, then let's search separately and see if we can't find it.

Find the best, if you can't find it, there is nothing you can do. "

Saying that, the three of them searched separately.

Suddenly, Duan Wugao shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have found a place to live tonight, come and have a look."

The two rushed over upon hearing the sound.

Tieniu shouted loudly: "Brother, what is a good place to go? Could it be that there is that family nearby?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: "Brother Tieniu, what are you dreaming about? Nothing but good things.

Look at such a desolate place, how can there be any residents! "

"What kind of place would that be?"

"Where it is, don't you know if you look at it."

The two ran over and followed Duan Wuji's fingers, and saw that in a large hollow, there were indeed three abandoned earthen houses. Judging by the dilapidated appearance, it must have been abandoned for many years.

This pit is a large pit formed naturally. Although the area is not too large, it is not a problem to have another one or two thousand acres.

The dilapidated little house was built against the north side of the big pit. There was still a lot of sparse hay in the pit, and there was a thick pile of white snow in the central part of the pit.

Jiang Ruiwu applauded and laughed.

"That's right, it's a good place, although the house is dilapidated, there's no problem with sheltering from the wind.

There is still a lot of grass in this big pit, just right for horses.

Well, with the ice and snow, horses can eat a few mouthfuls of snow when they are thirsty. It is really a good place!

Hey, such a deep pit, how do we go down? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Look for it, there must be a way to go down, otherwise how could there be residents here before!"

Jiang Ruiyuan listened and nodded.

"Well, your analysis is also right, let's look for it and see where the way down is?"

The three began to search along the edge of the pit, and finally found a way down at the northeast corner of the huge pit.

This path is only more than two feet wide and can only be passed by one person.

The three of them went down to the bottom of the pit, ran straight to the abandoned house, and came to the house to take a look.

I saw that the house was also full of weeds, and there was a pile of dry firewood that was about to rot in the corner of the house.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "That's right! You don't have to suffer any more tonight, with this pile of dry firewood for warmth, it seems that God still takes care of us."

Two brothers, look around and see if there is anything useful near this house?
The two nodded after listening, so the three started looking for it separately.

Jiang Ruiyuan suddenly said loudly: "You two virtuous brothers, here is a broken jar, can you see if it is of any use?"

The two ran over when they heard the sound, and when they looked at it, they saw that the pot was a bit too broken, and the mouth of the pot was broken in several pieces, and they couldn't blame the owner for abandoning it.

Tie Niu shook his head when he saw it.

"What's the use of such a broken thing?
No wonder people left it here. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "This thing is very useful! Although it is a bit broken, we can use it!"

Jiang Ruiyuan laughed and said, "What's the use of this thing? It looks fucking disgusting."

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, you take it to the bottom of the pit, wipe it clean inside and out with snow, then put clean snow on it and carry it back!"

"Brother, what are you doing with this?"

"What are you doing? We didn't drink any water from yesterday to today, right? We eat a handful of snow when we're thirsty. Who can bear it?

Isn’t there this broken earthen jar? There is dry firewood in the house, find a few big stones, set up this broken earthen jar, let’s make him drink water! "

After what Duan Wuji said, the two of them understood completely.

After hearing this, Tieniu waved his hand at Jiang Ruiyuan.

"Brother Jiang, you have to clean this jar! Otherwise, how can you drink the water!"

Jiang Ruiyuan laughed and said, "Brother, do you still need to order this?
It's not just the two of you who drink this water, I still drink it, can this not be cleaned up! "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Just brush it clean, I'll go find a few big rocks, hey, brother, you hurry up and start a fire.

Let's split up, I think it's going to be dark soon. "

With that said, Tie Niu went looking for stones.

Duan Wuji went back to the house, lit the dry wood with a fire chain, within a short time, the iron bull found three big stones and moved them in.

As soon as Tieniu set up the three stones, Jiang Ruiyuan walked in holding the jar full of ice and snow.

Jiang Ruiyuan carefully placed the jar on the raised stones, and carefully set it on fire.

After a short time, the ice water in the jar collapsed. Tie Niu looked at the water in the jar and said, "Why is there only so little water! Is this enough for the three of us to drink?"

Duan Wuji took out a big bag from his waist and handed it over.

"Brother Tie Niu, you can use this bag to collect some snow. This water is probably only enough for one person to drink. I think everyone is thirsty. How can such a small amount of water be done?"

Tieniu took the bundle and ran out, and after a while, he came back from outside with a big bundle of snow.

At this time, the jar was already steaming, and Tie Niu kept adding ice and snow to the jar, and when the snow in the bundle was finished, the water in the jar would not be full.

Duan Wuji looked at it and said with a smile: "This amount of water is not bad, probably just enough for the three of us to drink."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth. I've been thirsty for a long time. There's already smoke coming from my throat.

If there is no such method, the three of us will not die of thirst.

I don't have to worry about eating anymore. "

Jiang Ruiyuan smiled and said: "Who is not! We are each other."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Let's drink vigorously tonight. There may be water tomorrow.

Why!Brother Jiang, how far is this place from that residential area? "

Jiang Ruiyuan shook his head.

"How far! There must be another three or four days.

It is said that earning two dollars is so easy?Every time I come out, which one is not a narrow escape!

I didn't suffer a serious crime when I met the two of you this time, but it's not easy to mess with! "

After a short time, the water in the pot boiled. Duan Wuji hurriedly moved the fire to another place, and swept the charcoal fire over with a stick.

There was a fire source in the house, and within a short time, the small room became warmer. At this time, the sky outside was completely dark.

Jiang Ruiyuan ran outside and brought in the wolf meat on horseback. The three of them struggled to drink the water from the jar while grilling the wolf meat. When the water in the jar was finished, the people talked more. stand up.

Iron Bull stood up.

"I'm going to get another bag of snow, let's boil another pot of hot water, maybe I can last for three or two days without eating, I'm thirsty without water, I really can't hold on!"

Not long after, Tieniu came back with another load of snow. Jiang Ruiyuan set up the jar again and began to put snow into the jar. Duan Wuji moved the fire back again.

Tieniu and Jiang Ruiyuan kept filling the jar with snow, and when the snow in the bag was filled, Jiang Ruiyuan ran out to get more than half of the bag of snow, and finally filled the jar.

After the water was boiled, people moved the fire aside again.

Duan Wuji looked at the two of them and said: "We've also eaten and drunk enough, there's nothing else to do now, I think we should rest.

It's been a day's journey, and I believe everyone is tired. "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji took the lead to find the base of the wall, and lost his eyes in a short time.

Tieniu and Jiang Ruiyuan looked at it, okay, let's go to sleep like this!

Is it really fast enough to sleep!

Tieniu chatted with Jiang Ruiyuan for a while, the time was not long, and the eyelids of the two began to fight.

Jiang Ruiyuan smiled and said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, look at your brother, after all, how many years younger than you can't stand it!

You fell asleep so quickly, brother, aren't you sleepy?
Why don't we both rest for a while and talk about it later, after all we've had a long day's journey.

Brother, I'm going out to see the horses, let's rest when we come back. "

Just as Jiang Ruiyuan left, Duan Wuji suddenly opened his eyes.

"Brother Tieniu, are you on duty in the first half of the night? I am on duty in the middle of the night?"

"Ah? Brother, you haven't slept yet!"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said in a low voice: "Brother Tieniu, this one is away from home, you said there is an outsider, can we sleep together!

In case this kid is a villain, do you think we two are still alive?
Our two brothers lost their heads, and this kid got rich, so he died unjustly? "

"Hmm! Makes sense.

Brother, brother, I am indeed a little tired, why don't I go to bed first, and you are on duty. "

"Okay, let's make a deal, Brother Tieniu, you can rest assured to sleep, then I will be on the front shift."

"Brother, this matter is all up to you, so I can sleep in peace, brother."

After speaking, Tie Niu also closed his eyes.
