I rely on Qin Shihuang to enshrine the gods

Chapter 14 The Mountain Ghost's Blessing
Minced meat
Baitao saw the dagger beside him.

The burlap bag placed next to the dagger contained two pieces of dried meat and some bark with tooth marks. Behind her was a stone wall.

This is a natural hole.

There are hairs of other animals left inside, as well as some messy straw and dead branches, which should be the place where the hunter landed.

The opening of the hole was narrow, and most of it was blocked with snowballs.

But this kind of cave door made of snow can't stop the hungry and green-eyed beasts in the mountains looking for food.Zhao Zheng protected her inside like this, which was a complete protective gesture.

Give her meat and protect her.

Baitao wraps her three tails lightly around his waist, seeing him sick and hungry, even that bit of happiness is diluted.

The snow outside was still whimpering miserably, but his arms alone were warm.

Baitao: "Zhao Zheng."

Still no answer.

She carefully broke free from his arms, and saw dried blood on his stomach and arms.

But there were no wounds on his stomach and arms. When he touched his stomach with his paws, it was hard, as if he was touching a block of iron.

It should be eating too much bark.

The tip of Baitao's nose was sour and astringent, and big tears were falling from the bottom of her eyes, and the falling tear stains seemed to be soaked in the starlight at night.

What a fool, she's a goblin, and it's hard for goblins to starve to death.

He is a human being, he is so fragile and should learn to survive, but he is lucky, he rushed to save the goblin.

Sniffing, Baitao rubbed his cheek, which was a way for a cub to express intimacy.

But he didn't expect Zhao Zheng to wake up after this moment. The moment he opened his eyes, there was a kind of darkness in his eyes due to the thinness of his cheeks, like the light of a knife, which could penetrate people's hearts.

Seeing that there was no danger, he relaxed: "Taotao."

In the dark cave, mortals are invisible.

But because of an inexplicable mood, Baitao immediately hid the exposed fox ears and three tails, "Did you see it?"

"What did I see?" Zhao Zheng coughed in a muffled voice.

Didn't see it?
Baitao said: "See me, mine. If I were a fairy, would you still want to be good friends with me?"

The latter two words were rolled by her little tongue, and then rolled back into her mouth.

"When did you wake up, cough cough cough... I was in a coma for a few days."

Zhao Zheng closed his eyes, and he really lost the strength to speak and move.

Hearing this, Baitao knew that her fox fur hadn't fallen off.

Because no matter how courageous a mortal is, seeing a beast become a spirit will cause his eyes to close, his legs to kick, and he will be unconscious.

How can you be so calm.

Baitao said: "I just woke up too."

"It's fine." Zhao Zheng groped her head.

Baitao feels that his soul is about to leave his body now, he is really frighteningly sick.

Just after thinking this way, Zhao Zheng coughed sullenly again, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

Baitao patted him on the back: "Zhao Zheng, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhao Zheng smiled lightly: "Like a model."

He can't see it, he can only look at a certain point in the void, but he can feel her temperature and imagine her movements.

Zhao Zheng bent his lips, maybe the present moment is his luck.

But afterward, I felt a sense of unease and deep sorrow.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the doom of the god of death would eventually befall them. He only wanted Baitao to get rid of it.

He held the little jerky next to him, and groped to stuff it into Baitao's mouth, "Taotao, staying here is nothing but a dead end, you have to save your strength. You can escape when the snow stops. go out."

The jerky was frozen hard.

Very firewood.

When he went outside to plan the bark to wrap his belly, would he also feel that the bark was hard and sticky?

Tears welled up in Baitao's eyes, and she couldn't chew the jerky in her mouth no matter how hard she tried.She covered his eyes with her hand, choked up and said, "Zhao Zheng, you also need to conserve your energy and sleep well."

"it is good."

Zhao Zheng smiled lightly, as if he was reassuring, and he was passing on his upward emotions to her, "Taotao must escape if she wants to escape."

"it is good."

He was lying on his side on the pile of straw, his chin was too thin, and there were new scabs on his hands. It seemed that he lost strength after digging the bark. He couldn't hold the dagger stably and hurt himself.

Baitao's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it hurt from depression.

She waited slowly for his faint breathing to calm down.

Transformed into a monster, Baitao rushed out of the cave, and on the snowy ground crashing into the blizzard, a fire fox with three tails was galloping vigorously. Its brown fox eyes were wet, and it still screamed involuntarily: "Zhi——"

Brother said grow up.

What counts as growing up.

Baitao dug open the hay outside the rabbit hole, and brought a nest of rabbits.

I thought in my heart: Is it because of brother's departure, or her current sadness.Is that how you grow up?Then she doesn't want to feel sad, and she doesn't want to grow up.

She pinched the long ears of the two rabbits, looked at their restlessness and fear, and saw that there were several little rabbits huddled together in the rabbit nest, and they were shivering under the cold air.

She returned one rabbit in her paw, slapped the other rabbit to death, picked it up and walked away.

She is going to feed Zhao Zheng.

When asked, he said that the rabbit crashed into a hole and died. Isn't there a saying that waits for a rabbit?

There is little to eat in the snow, and the rabbit hole is hard to find.

Baitao was delayed for an hour, and the blizzard stopped temporarily. When she went back with the rabbit in her mouth, she bumped into a pack of wolves dragging dead bodies. The sharp teeth of the beast were like bright silver, dripping wet Da saliva.

The bony skeleton shows that the winter is hard to bear, but the bulging belly proves that they have already eaten a big meal.

There are seven or eight of them, and their dark fur has become mottled, but it is still a good winter material for hunters.

Baitao walked around them with a rabbit in her mouth.

"Grumble-"

The leading wolf with its tail up called to her and said in a wolf language, "You smell like a living person. Are you the human being protected by the mountain ghost?"

The mountain ghost is the mountain god who controls the beasts.

Because it has not been officially canonized by the Emperor of Heaven, it is still called Mountain Ghost.

Bai Tao's heart was always thinking of Zhao Zheng who was about to die of starvation, so why would she want to talk to the Wolf King, "I don't know him."

"If you don't know it, you don't know it." The wolf king licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Mountain ghosts won't come to our Snow Wolf Mountain for nothing, and that human must have something special about him."

"What do you want?"

Baitao was very vigilant, she found that her words were a little bit tough, "If you dare to make up his mind, don't blame me for taking your fur into the pot."

"Don't dare to offend the mountain ghost."

The wolf king has a kind of respect, it lowers its wolf ears, "We also want to be blessed by the mountain ghosts. Over the years, human beings covet our fur and drive us to extinction."

"So, we want to get lucky."

The wolf brothers around the wolf king took out the things they had looted from the group of corpses and offered them to Baitao.

"Fire pockets, wound medicine, a bag of dry food, and some money that we hate."

The wolf king walked past Baitao in a diagonal snow line with his wolf brother who had returned with a full load.

Before leaving, the wolf king turned his pointed head and jaw, stared at her and said, "Beside your cave, there is a path down the mountain. If you go southeast, you will find a mortal village. Pray, the mountain ghost will bless you."

"."

Bai Tao stuffed the rabbit into a dry food bag, put the other things in it, and left with it in its mouth.

Mountain ghosts will not bless us.

Baitao thought to herself.

My elder brother said that he would fly over three of them with one fan.

Baitao returned to the cave, took human form, walked into the cave on tiptoe, and blocked the snow at the door, leaving only some air holes.

The snowstorm is still raging outside.

Baitao was almost blocked, picked up the sack, and Zhao Zheng's voice suddenly came from the blackened hole, "Taotao."

She had originally sneaked out, but now she was suddenly taken aback.

The cloth bag in his hand trembled, and the silver coins inside made a clanging sound, which was infinitely harsh by the long snowy night.

"What's the matter, ahem, did wolves come in from outside?"

Zhao Zheng held the dagger and was about to get up while propping up his body.

"No, no."

Bai Tao shook her head, gathered up the dead branches in the hunter's cave, pulled some straw, and lit it with a torch.

The fire light instantly diffused in the thick as ink hole, and also shone on the dead rabbit holding two rabbit ears in her hand.

Zhao Zheng's pupils shrank: "Taotao, you."

Baitao lowered her head and used his dagger to peel off the rabbit skin like him, not daring to look him in the eyes, "I just went out and found a lot of people died outside, so I searched some of their things, There's this stupid bunny bumping into it."

The girl probably can't lie, her eyelashes trembled, casting arc shadows on the eyelids.

The cheeks are illuminated by the orange fire, making them look more lovely, like ghosts, or dolls with New Year pictures painted by gods.

But in any case, such fire light shone on him, dispelling the cold in him.Zhao Zheng looked at her for a long time, then looked away: "Taotao is really amazing."

"Oh."

The white peaches were skewered with rabbit meat and turned a few times. Hearing the sound of sizzling oil, she felt the sight again. She also looked over, blinked and said, "Why do you keep staring at me, my face Is there something on it?"

Zhao Zheng said softly, "It's good to be alive."

Yeah, it's good to be alive.

Baitao's acupuncture point was previously blocked by elder brother, but now not only is it a blessing in disguise, the acupuncture point has been opened, and two extra tails have grown.

She didn't dare to speak too loudly about the pack of wolves she met just now, but now the long tail is a good thing, and she can threaten them.

From this, it can be seen that the level of the demon has become higher, and the words are tough.

From now on, other monsters will call her no longer "Ah, ah, that little vixen." Instead, "Oh, sister Sanwei is good, sister Sanwei is strong, sister Sanwei can shoot thirty three tails,"

Thinking about it, Baitao's heart was bubbling, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily opened up.

Zhao Zheng ate some of the dry food she brought over, but didn't dare to eat too much. Seeing the girl smiling like honey in front of the fire, it was accompanied by the smell of burnt hare floating in the air.

He took the hand and said: "Just wait and eat, I will take care of this kind of thing."

"Oh."

Baitao was lost in her thoughts and agreed without blinking an eye. Zhao Zheng's hand was still injured, so how could he worry about these things? That's it, I can bake it."

".it is good."

What Baitao said was serious, and Zhao Zheng didn't intervene. He just picked up the things she had searched. There were two fire folders, and some Qin Banliang, which could last two days of dry food.

There is no token.

Now the life and death of the remaining six dead men and his mother is uncertain.

Fan Yuqi, the general of the Qin State, is also in bad luck, and his chances of counting on it are very slim.

How can we bring Baitao out of the predicament of the blizzard, survive the cold winter when food is scarce, and finally return to Qin through mountains and rivers.

This is the looming question.

Zhao Zheng found that he was not worried about his mother's safety at this time, and all he was thinking about was Baitao.

It's too cold-blooded.

But he would rather go on so cold-blooded, without expectation, he would not be seriously injured. Once upon a time, he was also a child who sought comfort from his mother, just like most ordinary children in Zhao country.

But every time what he got in exchange was not gentle words of comfort, but drove him away again and again like a plague god.

After a long time, I get used to it, like getting used to pain, so I don't care too much.
