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

Chapter 336 320 Five people trapped in the sky ([-])
Duan Wuji walked into the cave, and saw that Tie Niu piled up the things he had just moved in at the entrance of the cave, leaving only a distance for one person to pass.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "This is very good, the cave is warmer this way, this is also very good.

Hey, Brother Tieniu, let's have some food and rest quickly, this will be our brother's home from now on.

Although this amount of food weighs more than 200 catties, it is not too much for us two brothers!

We can save as much as we can, as long as we don’t starve our brothers to death, we plan to live here for a long time, I’m afraid we can’t do it without this idea! "

"Live here for a long time? Is that for one year? Or for two years?"

"I can't say if I can't live for such a long time, but I guess there may be more than half a year.

Coincidentally, during this period of time, our brothers have been practicing day and night, maybe this is a great thing for us brothers. "

"A good thing? What can I do if it's not good? Alas! There's no other way now, so let's do whatever we want. It's useless to think about anything else."

The two of them each ate three or four catties of cooked meat, and then they opened the bags containing tiger skins and snow leopard skins, and they spread the animal skins on the bottom of the cave, and then they began to practice.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "We are blessed to have these animal skins, but if we don't have them, we will have to suffer."

Once the two of them cultivate, they don't care about the passage of time.

When both of them were very hungry, they stood up and ate something.

After eating for the tenth time, Tie Niu said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, how long have we been in this cave?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this and said: "How do I know this! Just calculate it as we eat one meal a day, I guess we have to stay in this cave for more than ten days. You see, all the food we have It's almost a third of the way down!

Can this be shortened? "

"Hey, brother, why don't we go out and take a look at the situation outside, I'm almost suffocating these days!
In addition, bring our bows and arrows and other weapons, let's see if we can catch any prey!It's best to catch it, if we can't catch it, we have no other way!

Looking for food now is better than finding something temporarily when all the food is gone. "

"Well, what you said makes sense. Let's go outside and relax."

Duan Wuji praised his bow and arrow, and his sword on his back. Tieniu came out of the cave with a big stick in his hand.

It was just after noon at this time, the two looked up, the sky was very clear, and the ravine was very deserted.

The two of them wandered around the ravine with nothing to do, and saw their two yaks and two horses grazing hay leisurely in the ravine. When the animals saw the two men walking out, they immediately stopped grazing the hay. come over.

The two walked by and stroked the fur of the horses and yaks to show comfort.

Then the two of them continued to wander around in this valley. The place with no snow in this section was only five or six miles away, and the two of them finished the tour in a short while.

Not to mention any prey in the entire Ergu, the two of them didn't even see a bird, and nothing changed in any way. The two of them were disappointed and had no choice but to go back.

Back in the cave, Tie Niu couldn't help but sigh!

"Oh, I really can't help it. I don't know how long we've been stuck in this ghost place. The **** doesn't even have any food relief. How can we mess up these days!"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: "Let's spend one day less! Anyway, there is nothing we can do now.

Let's reduce our activities outside this cave in the future, and let's leave some food if we can save some food!After eating, let's think of a way! "

"Oh, that's all there is to it."

The two ate something, and then continued to sit down and practice.

Outdoor activities have been reduced, and the food eaten by the two of them has been significantly reduced.

The two of them hid in the cave, and under normal circumstances they couldn't come out.

I don't know how long it has passed, probably after eating more than a dozen meals, and now more than half of the food for the two of them has gone down.

It's getting closer and closer to bottoming out.

Tie Niu said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, I don't know how many days have passed, let's go, let's take the guy and go out for a walk, see if we can gain something this time!"

"Well, that's alright! I guess it took more than 20 days during this period.

We haven't gone out for such a long time, we really should go out for a walk. "

The two walked out of the cave, only to see that it was already the setting sun.

The valley was quiet, without any movement.

The valley was still so deserted, the two of them walked slowly along the valley without talking.

By this time, the sun had set and everything was gray.

Looking at the stars in the sky, the two couldn't help shaking their heads.

Just when the two of them were about to turn around and leave, suddenly there were a few quacking geese in the ravine.

Duan Wuji listened and said in a low voice: "Brother Tieniu, this is really a blessing, why is there such a thing in this ravine?
Is it the season when the geese return from the south to the north?
Brother Tieniu, it's not so dark now, and when it gets dark, let's rush over with lightning speed, let's make some wild geese eat him, must we hold on for a few more days? ?

You also know that the flocks of geese are usually dozens of them!We must be quick-witted later!

The flock of geese rested, and generally one or two geese were left standing guard.

However, as you can see, it is not easy for them to fly in this terrain. Before they fly, the two of us should kill as many of them as possible, so that we can survive for a longer time. "

"Well, I know, I know."

The two waited for more than half an hour, and it was completely dark.

It was very quiet in the valley, there was almost no sound at all, only a layer of white snow on the ground covered the ground.

When the two saw that the time was almost up, the two of them rushed forward suddenly, as fast as lightning.

When they were more than ten feet away, the two of them could see clearly that there was something black on the snow.

When they were six or seven feet away from the flock of geese, the flock of geese uttered panic calls, and the flock of geese suddenly became energetic.

The geese took off before the flock of geese came, and the two rushed there.

Duan Wuji slashed fiercely with the sword in his hand, and Tieniu kept smashing with the big stick in his hand!

In this group of geese, only four or five geese flew into the sky in a hurry, and the rest were killed by two people.

The two packed up and counted, and killed a total of 37 geese.

The two put away their sticks and swords, and took the dead geese after dividing them twice.

Back in the cave, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "These wild geese are really fat, each weighs at least ten catties. With these things, we can last for a while longer.

It seems that there is no limit to the road!From now on, let's go out every day to see if we can meet this unexpected joy again! "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine! As long as we persist until the weather is hot, then we will be saved.

Brother, aren't there those few pine branches outside the cave gate!
Tomorrow morning, let's bake two and eat. After so many days, my stomach is already hungry.

Who can stand being so hungry for a long time! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine! There's nothing else to do now, let's eat something, let's go to practice!"

Each of the two ate a piece of meat the size of a fist, then sat on the animal skin and began to practice. "

At dawn the next day, Tieniu came out of the cave and began to spread out the roasted wild geese. Twelve wild geese were roasted at once, and within a short while, a strong fragrance wafted through the whole valley.

When the geese were almost cooked, Duan Wuji came out of the cave.

Two people each ate a whole roasted wild goose, and they were full.

The two put away the remaining ten roasted geese, and they returned to the cave contentedly.

From then on, the two of them went out for a walk every night, hoping to find something to eat again.

However, things backfired, and nothing edible was found for a long time.

Each wild goose and two people always insist on eating for three or four days, for fear that if there is no food, they will not be able to persist!

By the time the ten geese had been eaten, another 20 days had passed.

At noon that day, when Tie Niu went out to take a rest, he walked around the ravine again. Tie Niu was delighted to find that the snow and ice had shown signs of melting, and the snow in the ravine had melted piece by piece. .

Tieniu excitedly told Duan Wuji the good news.

Duan Wuji just shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything.

Tie Niu was taken aback.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, are you not interested in this?
Why don't you speak! "

"What's there to say! Isn't it just that the snow has melted a little, so there's nothing to be surprised about. The weather is probably mid-February now. Shouldn't the snow have melted a little?"

"Ah, two months have passed in such a period of time? How fast it has passed! Our little food can last for two months at most, who knows that the ice and snow will melt in these two months, Can't finish it!"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: "Who dares to say if the transformation is not complete?

I guess I'm afraid it's enough to be able to finish it, or else this matter is worrying!

Hey, but what can I do!Brother Tieniu, you should think of a way! "

"An idea? What's the idea? If I could think about it, I would have thought about it a long time ago. If it's really difficult, I'll kill our two horses and eat meat! Is there any other way?"
