Chapter 26, Looking for the Sky Horse, Chapter 7
Hasky is determined to find Tianma on this ice field. Fu Jiezi is really worried about putting him alone in the ice field and said, "Lord Horse, if you want to find it, go back and come back. At this time, I'm afraid that you can't find Tianma, but also your life is more dangerous."
Hasky also ignored it and said, "If you can't find a Tianma, what's the point of living!"
Fu Jiezi couldn't help but be a little unhappy and said, "Lord Horse Supervisor, you'd better go back with us first. We will choose to find a horse in the long time."
Hasky said, "No need to say, you are a general and I am a horse. Since we are different, we will leave." Fu Jiezi said in a low voice, "Are you really not going back with us?"
Hasky nodded resolutely and said, "I will never go back without finding Tianma."
"Okay," Fu Jiezi no longer looked at him, took off Lu Ming's waist knife, took some dried meat and water from the horse, chose the best horse for him, hung these things on the saddle, and said, "It's not easy to survive in this ice field. You can ask for more blessings."
Hasky was also polite and said, "Thank you very much." After saying that, he took the horse and pulled it away. The only attendant was the bodyguard beside him.
Fu Jiezi sighed and ignored him. Now that Lu Ming and the Han army are dead and injured, he has no other ideas in his heart. He just wants to bring back all the living alive quickly.
After a while, before Lu Ming woke up, Yu Jier woke up. When she learned that Ma Guan was dead, she suddenly cried. Fu Jiezi knew that she had the pain of losing her father. She couldn't help sighing and wanted to comfort her. Unexpectedly, Yu Jier grabbed his arm and bit him and cried while biting. It doesn't look good together.
Fu Jiezi endured and did not move away, allowing her to bite for a while and said, "Yu Jier, I'm sorry. We can't save him." Yu Jier said angrily, "You didn't save him at all!" You all only care about running for your own lives. If you hadn't knocked me out, Dad wouldn't have died! It's all you! It's all you!" Yu Jier pointed to Fu Jiezi's nose and cursed, pounding Fu Jiezi's chest while cursing.
Fu Jiezi let her beat her without retorting. Lu Ming had not woken up, and the Han army was also silent. Wuhou and the two Han soldiers were burning the saddle and roast meat, and they were also too knowledgeable to speak, and the atmosphere became very depressing.
Fu Jiezi and Ren Yujier pounded for a while, grabbed Yujier's hand and moved away, and said, "Take a rest for a while."
After saying that, he went to see Lu Ming's injury. Lu Ming woke up with a slight movement. The claw wound was very deep. Lu Ming scolded and said, "That man is really serious! This claw almost killed me!"
Fu Jiezi helped Lu Ming up and said, "The martial arts are good, but it's a pity that she escaped. It seems that among the Wusun people, they are indeed Tibetan friends. Lu Ming said hatefully, "It's a pity that I can't find her and there is no chance to revenge!"
Fu Jiezi smiled faintly and said, "What's the revenge? Let's get better first. We will go back at dawn.
Lu Ming said urgently, "How can this work? I can't miss a big deal because I'm alone!"
Fu Jiezi hummed, "What other Tianma are you looking for? Let's take you back safely first." Lu Ming was ashamed and said, " boss, you saved my life again. My life used to be yours, and it will be yours in the future.
Fu Jiezi was sad when he heard this and forced a smile, "Mom, it's so sensational. If it's a man, just be strong and survive well!" Several Han soldiers smiled with their skin and flesh.
Lu Ming just counted the people and was silent. He knew the casualties.
After a while, Wuhou cooked the barbecue, and each person divided it into pieces. Each person ate a piece of meat and snow. Fu Jiezi took a piece for Yujier and then sat down on the side table.
The meat was roasted very well. The roaster was careless and the people who ate it were absent-minded. Fu Jiezi took two bites of black smoke and took another bite of snow. He didn't know how to taste.
"We will turn back at dawn and find your father and my brothers." Fu Jiezi only said this sentence and stopped talking. Yu Jier did not receive meat and snow. Fu Jiezi put the meat and snow on the ground, as if worshipping a bodhisattva.
The wind here is so strong that it can chase people on an unstable road, and I don't know where Haschi is now. This man is like a madman. No one can persuade him to do what he has to do. The reason why Fu Jiezi let him go so easily was that he understood this mood. Before that, he also came to the Western Regions with a desire to die, hoping to destroy the Xiongnu. With that strong belief in mind, death is no longer a problem.
Fu Jiezi knew that what he was worried about was superfluous. It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. Let him go.
Yu Jier cried intermittently. I don't know how long she cried, and fell asleep. Behind her, she must have frozen her hair on the ice wall for a long time. Fu Jiezi helped her. He didn't have much affection for this girl, but now his heart is a little cold, and she feels about her.
According to her own observation, Yujier seems to have only two relatives, Ma Guan and her husband. Now her husband has disappeared and her father has died again. Under the double blow, even if he is a villain, it will make people feel sympathy and pity.
Wuhou was big. He held Lu Ming in his arms and warmed him up for fear of freezing him, but how awkward it looked like this. There was a suspicion of broken sleeves. Lu Mingzheng scolded Wuhou for not allowing Wuhou to do so, but Wuhou was a solid-hearted person. For Lu Ming's injury, he ignored it. Lu Ming was so angry that he didn't do it all night. Close your eyes.
I don't know when it began to snow at night. Fu Jiezi wondered in his heart that it was already spring. Why did it still snow so heavily? In this way, there is still a lot of snow, and it will take at least a month to see if it will clear up.
The next morning, Fu Jiezi woke up early. He woke up Yu Jier. Yu Jier had a fever and her body was like fire. Fu Jiezi touched her forehead and seemed to burn a little.
Yu Jier anly pushed away Fu Jiezi's hand and left without saying a word. But the whole body fell to the ground crooked. Fu Jiezi helped her up and blamed that he would not cherish Xiang Xiyu last night. His mind was full of his dead brothers, and he did not spend too much time on Yu Jier. At the very least, he did not do such a thing as giving her a dress.
There is no herbal medicine to cure wind and cold, which requires him to go back as soon as possible. Lu Ming's injury only stopped the bleeding, and the dressing was very rough. If the wound is infected, it will be very troublesome. If Yu Jier is delayed for three days, her life will also be dragged into a serious illness.
Lu Mingqiang stood up and said, " boss, let's go." Oh, wait for your uncle, go and carry this girl on your back!" Wuhou didn't like to be close to women. As soon as he heard that it was a fierce female tiger with Yu Jier on his back, his face immediately showed seven points of unwillingness and three points of reluctance. But at this time, he was not in the mood to care about these things and said, "Brother Lu, don't scold me. I'll just recite it."
The rest of the barbecue was frozen on the ground. Fu Jiezi smashed it with the handle of the knife and was ready to hang it on the back of the horse. However, when he arrived at the edge of the horse group, he found that the horse group was actually lying down, leaving only five horses still standing, and the three wild horses also slipped away.
Fu Jiezi took a look and found that these horses were not used to the wind and rainy weather. A few days ago, there was no snow outside, and there was food and drink. They were not very energetic, but at least they could still stand and entered the ice curtain barrier. The living conditions here were too difficult. Some horses were injured again, and some injured horses' hoofs on the ice residue. They were hungry. With cold and frostbite, these bad horses have been eliminated by this place.
The Han army came over and pushed and pulled. These horses just couldn't get up. Fu Jiezi had no choice but to push again. If he really couldn't get up, he had to stay in the ice and snow.
In the end, they only succeeded in pulling up three horses. Most of the Wusun people ran away last night. At this time, they lay down again, and there were less than ten left. But the horses are enough.
Fu Jiezi chose a few horses that looked energetic and let Lu Ming and the other two injured numbers and Yu Jier ride on, and he and several other uninjured people left. It's icy and snowy here. It's easy to fall down without riding a horse, but also easy to fall. Fu Jiezi and others are protecting them all the way back to the original road. Now when they go back, Wusun people have left anyway.
Their purpose is to chase the horse. If you meet Wusun people, then your party will die. Fu Jiezi still decided to make a bet. He had to go back within three days.
There is basically no road here. It looks like an endless snowfield. There is nothing flat. The wind is still very strong, which makes people stagger.
After walking for most of the day, Fu Jiezi began to panic. When he picked it up, he should have arrived a long time ago, but why is it still the same? Did he go the wrong way?
This possibility is very small. People like them who have been away all year round will hardly get lost, and Fu Jiezi clearly remembers that his direction is this way, and this is a direct way, and there is no turning at all. Such a simple road will not be wrong.
In order to be cautious, Fu Jiezi still asked Lu Ming and the Han army. Everyone also remembered that this was the way to come, but it was strange that they should have arrived a long time ago!
"Haven't we arrived yet?" Yu Jier's weak voice came, and Fu Jiezi found that she had woken up. Fu Jiezi said, "This is really strange, Yu Jier. Are you familiar with this place?"
Although Yu Jier did not want to talk to Fu Jiezi, she also saw the seriousness of the matter and said, "I have never been here. Even my father just came here before. This is a land cursed by God. It has only been snowing for two months a year, and most of the time it is ice and snowy. Hundreds of miles are uninhabited, and most of the people who have come in can't get out. Because no one comes, it has become the border between Wusun and Dawan.
Speaking of this, Yu Ji'er sneered and said, "Dad came in and went out. He could have gone out alive, but you didn't save him!" Yu Jier's voice was full of hatred and a sense of revenge.
Fu Jiezi said, "Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?"
Yu Jier hummed, "After saying this, will you still come in to find the horse? I just won't say it!" Among these Han troops, only Lu Ming knew more. After listening to it, he endured the scolding, "You mother-in-law are not only small-minded, but also poisonous!"
Yu Jier hummed twice and ignored it.
Fu Jiezi said, "So, we are going the wrong way? What can Haschi do? Yu Jier still didn't know whether Haschi was dead or alive and said, "Is he still alive?"
"Hmm." Fu Jiezi casually said, "He went to find Tianma alone. I'm afraid that there are few Jidoji."
"No!" Yu Jier covered her ears and roared loudly. Fu Jiezi said, "I think he is also lost on this ice sheet now."
Yu Ji'er said angrily, "How could it be! You always look forward to the death of others!" Fu Jieziqi said, "What did you say?" Yu Jier said angrily, "I said you are a vicious person and always looking forward to the death of others!"
Fu Jiezi didn't understand why he suddenly said this headless word. He understood it after thinking about it and said, "I didn't say your husband. I mean Haschi..."
"You still say it!" Yujier screamed like crazy. She had lost her father. If her husband had another accident, he would leave her alone. How could he live? Thinking of the bitterness of life, she covered her face and cried again.
Don't say you are not strong, but life is devastating.
Fu Jiezi sighed, and the Han army was also silent.
Lu Ming said, "Yu Jier, I'm sorry." Yu Jier was not very ungry. She just looked at him. Although there was no hatred in her eyes, there was no emotion, pale and helpless.
I can't go any further. Fu Jiezi asked the team to stop for the time being and carefully calculate the direction here. He is not familiar with astronomy and thinks that it would be nice if Gunia was here. She is so precious to astronomy that she can definitely figure out her position.
Thinking of Gonia, Fu Jiezi felt a sudden pain in his heart. Can I see her again?
Lu Ming is also a veteran of the world. He can't walk thousands of miles from east to west. He thought that this little bumps would not trap himself, but he looked at the terrain and the sky carefully and was also stunned.
The Han army suddenly panicked. Yu Jier said that this place was a place cursed by God, because they were very afraid of this. Fu Jiezi also asked Yu Jier what "a place cursed by God" was just a saying of Dawan, that is, the shape The climate here is harsh, as the Han Dynasty said, "a place where dogs don't shit and birds don't lay eggs" is the same meaning.
Since there was no matter of Shinto, Fu Jiezi's heart settled down and began to think about the reason.
But he didn't think of anything. Fu Jiezi had to ask Yu Jier for help again. Yu Ji'er was also confused and said, "I want to go straight east from here and I can go back."
This is the most naive and rustic way to pick her up, but it has been no man's land for thousands of years. If you can really go out so easily, it's hard to say.
Since there is no other way, I can only try this. Fu Jiezi's heart also became heavy.
We must go out alive!
This is the sentence that Fu Jiezi said the most. Here, there is no shortage of water or food, but what worries him most is Lu Ming and other injuries.
At night, he still didn't find the way to come, but fortunately, he saw the mountain. When he saw this mountain, he was even more desperate. If he saw such a high mountain once, he had an impression when he came, but he had no impression at all. It seemed that he really got lost his way.
If you get lost, you can't leave at night. Fu Jiezi had to let everyone sleep here. The tent of the camping was also lost because of the suffering of the Wusun people. Eating and drinking was not a problem, but the cold became the biggest enemy. After a night, he began to climb the mountains the next day.
After being so numb for most of the day, Fu Jiezi suddenly found that some hooves appeared on the ground, and the snow here was so big that it was not covered, indicating that there was a horse that had just passed by. Fu Jiezi drew a stroke, and his heart was shocked.
The hoof mark is very large, and the distance between the two steps is also extremely wide, so it is impossible for ordinary horses to reach this point.
It's a heavenly horse!
I met Tianma again! Fu Jiezi's already cold heart became excited again, and the Han army also began to talk about it. Fu Jiezi said, "It's Tianma. We follow the footprints. I believe that this Tianma will never live in this place all year round. It will take us out of this ice field."
The Han army had a certain interest in looking for horses, but not much. At this time, when they heard that they could get out of the ice field, they immediately came to the spirit and agreed.
Fu Jiezi said, "Tianma's foot is fast. Looking at the traces of this snow, it has only been less than a column of incense. We can follow it quickly and still keep up. If we follow slowly, there is nothing we can do if the footprints are lost by the heavy snow. Everyone, be more quickly and keep up!"
Now all the Han army are in spirit. If they can follow Tianma out of this land, they are willing to let them run now.
The footprints of Tianma are getting shallower and shallower. Fu Jiezi found that the distance pulled away was also getting bigger and bigger, and he was very anxious, but how can his group of injured horse be compared with Tianma?
Fu Jiezi asked a Han army to choose the best horse to catch up with him first, and followed Tianma's footprints and snowdrifts along the way to avoid the road being completely covered.
After walking less than 70 miles, the footprints were getting shallower and shallower. Fu Jiezi and his entourage followed the snowdrift of the Han army and caught up with the Han army for a period of time after dark. Because they could not see the way at night, the Han army did not dare to leave again. There were avalanches, snow pits and ice holes everywhere.
This is a low cliff, which can avoid wind and snow for a while. Fu Jiezi asked the Han army to rest here for a night and hurry up tomorrow morning.
The next day, before it was completely dawn, Fu Jiezi couldn't wait to go. The wind and snow in the night were so strong that they really covered the footprints. Fu Jiezi took a burst of snow and analyzed the shallow footprints on the ground before letting the team hurry. Fu Jiezi obviously found that the hooves of the heavenly horse were much wider, that is to say, , Tianma is tired, his steps are small, and the hoof marks are not so balanced, a little crooked.
Fu Jiezi was secretly surprised and ran with Tianma. It seemed to be a wrong decision, and Tianma seemed to be lost!
