Chapter 133 The Sad Wind of Snow Ridge

"Oh! Yes, yes!" After a period of confusion, Shi Feng tore his sweat towel and wrapped Huanxuan's injured hand again. "When you go down the mountain, your wife's horse will be held by the end of the future!"

Huanying didn't say anything, but asked, "Where's the father and daughter of the Fu family? Why didn't you see them?"

"They haven't been up the mountain for several months. They are afraid that the landform will change after the heavy snow, so they will go to check the ground conditions while waiting for you." Shi Feng said, "The last general heard that General Lu and others had an accident. Shall we wait for them together?"

Huanxuan endured the pain, slowly moved his injured hand, looked up at the sky again, and muttered.

"The last general knows that the coach is worried about General Lu, but..." Shi Feng persuaded as if he could see Huanxuan's thoughts, "In two or three hours, it will be dark. It will be bad for us to delay so many people on the top of the snow mountain!"

"I know!" Huanying answered in a low voice, "When all my middle passers-by come up, and the father and daughter of the Fu family come back, let's hurry up and go down the mountain."

As he spoke, some soldiers said from afar, "Military commander, General Shi, the old man, they are back!"

Huanying and Shi Feng hurriedly greeted him, "Old man, thank you for your hard work. What's the situation ahead?" Huanwen couldn't wait to ask.

"Go back to the army, the old man has discussed with General Shi before. There are two ways to go down the mountain. One is to take the rugged and steep mountain road, which is the same as when we came. The journey is relatively long. There is no guarantee to go down the mountain before dark, but it must be easier than going up the mountain. The other way is to walk directly. There is no road. If so, you can go down the mountain smoothly within two hours, but if you don't master the wrong method, it will be more dangerous.

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand. What is Liu Pozi?" Huanling looked at Shi Feng doubtfully. As soon as she came up, she only took care of the wound first, and there was no time to ask Shi Feng for details.

"It's the flowing stone slope!" Fu An'an rushed to explain, "The military commander doesn't know that Huaziling is a snow peak that does not melt all year round, but in spring and summer, except for the top of the mountain, most of the ice and snow below will still melt, which will reveal the real mountain appearance. However, due to the long time of ice and snow coverage, the melting snow washing, and drought and wind. Due to many factors such as erosion, a wide driftstone zone has been formed on the hillside on this side of Huaziling. Except for the loose sand and stone, it is almost indecent.

"Yes, the military commander may not imagine how loose the sand and stones are. The old man and the little girl tried it in the early autumn of last year. At that time, the little girl walked in the front, and the old man pulled her in the back, but when he stepped out, he saw the sand rolling down with gravel, dragging us and we couldn't stand at all and rolled down. That's all right. If it's all sand and gravel, you can't fall to death. If you can't stand up, you can slide down, but the sand may also be mixed with many stones bigger than fists. As the quicksand rolls down and falls, it will hit the people below, isn't it dead or injured? Fu Mingchun then added, "The old man once watched a flying stone brush past An'an's head. He was so scared that the old man and the little girl no longer dared to go downhill one after the other, and only dared to separate the two sides."

"Oh? It's so dangerous, isn't it that the army can't walk on the slope at all? Huanxuan said suspiciously.

"It's not the same!" Fu Mingchun continued, "If it's a snowy month, the army can't slide downhill as awkwardly as the old man and the little girl, but now it's a winter day with thick earth and snow. The old man has just tested with the little girl that there is a frozen ice layer under the thick snow, so that we can break a snow path and slide downhill, only To solve the problem of horses going down the mountain, this method can save time and effort. Maybe it doesn't take two hours at all, and all the troops can get down the mountain.

"But the old man just said that the method is not right, and it will be a little dangerous. What's the solution?" Huanxuan still asked uneasily.

"Because there are boulders or blocking the road in the middle of the mountainside, if you can't slide, fall down..." Fu Mingchun's face darkened, and then said, "Even if it won't hit the boulder, in case of falling into the permafrost, won't it be dead or injured?"

He frowned and said after a long time, "If we walk on the slope, how to solve the horse problem?"

"Along with the ridge, that is, near the downhill road, there is a narrow slope washed when the ice and snow melts, which is much smoother than the drift stone slope. If someone drives a horse, the military horse can run down the mountain directly, but because it is too narrow, it is not suitable for people and horses to go with each other. Because the horses are running too fast, it is easy to crash and trample on, unless Group in batches, and wait for all the previous batch to go down the mountain before going down the second batch. But in this way, the time required is almost the same as walking down the mountain road." Fu Ming said, "Of course, Lao Ku is just a suggestion. In the end, how to walk requires the military commander to think clearly and make a decision."

"General Shi, what do you think?" Huanxuan knew that it was urgent to seize the time to let the army go down the mountain as soon as possible, but she also hesitated.

"The last general thinks that it is feasible for people and military horses to walk separately. Now the snow is already very thick. It should not be a big problem to slide down the stone slope. It should also be possible to let the veteran general with superb horse control skills take him down the mountain. The key is what will General Lu do? Shall we wait for them?" Shi Feng turned around and saw the middle passers-by led by Huanxuan, who had basically reached Yakou one after another.

Huanying thought for a moment and asked Fu Mingjun, "Can Miss An'an master the skills of walking on the slope?" If Miss An'an is competent, I want Miss An'an to take this part of the team down the mountain first, and then bother you to wait for the passers-by. After taking the passers-by down, there are only more than ten or twenty people left, and they should be able to go down from the narrow slope of the military horse.

"Well, in fact, there is no need for a little girl. The old man can explain the precautions to the soldiers in person, but let An'an go down the mountain with them. You can first lead the army to the right place to camp. Where can collect dry firewood and where there is water? An'an is very clear. In this way, after the people go down the mountain, You don't have to be in a hurry.

"It's so good. Everyone is exhausted today. If you can rest earlier, it will be of great benefit to the whole army's tomorrow's journey." Huanying said to Fu An'an, "Then please ask Miss An's help!"

"Military commander, don't be so polite. I'm not used to it!" Fu An'an smiled and twisted himself to hide behind Fu Mingchun.

"Ha ha, yes, don't be polite to us. An An'an has grown up in the barren mountains since she was a child. She hasn't been taught much. She is used to spoiling her again. Everything is at her temperament, so she doesn't know any rules and etiquette. She is an authentic wild girl. Head, let the military commander laugh!" Fu Ming said with a mellow smile, habitually brushing his beard.

"Where is it? I particularly like the character of Miss An'an. He is bold and straightforward. He is a lovely girl. Well, I won't be polite to the two. Shi Feng, you and Miss An'an lead the team down the mountain together. The old man and I are waiting for the team behind at Yakou." Huanxuan paused and said, "Another choice. Four or five people who are good at horse control are driving the horses down the mountain from the narrow slope.

"No problem, the last general is in command!" Shi Feng said, "The last general is going to concentrate the troops. Old man, let's talk about how to walk on the slope!"

"Okay, let's go!" Fu Mingchun agreed and took Fu An'an with Shi Feng.

Soon, Shi Feng and Fu An'an, together with the army who had rested, went down the Liushi slope in batches. Huanying and Fu Mingjun stared at the situation of the soldiers on the slope, reminding everyone from time to time, until the last batch of soldiers slipped out of their sight. When there were only the two of them left, they suddenly looked lonely and cold.

"The wind is too strong at the mouth. Why don't we find a shelter to squat and wait for General Lu?" Fu Mingjun asked, "General Lu, they don't know when they can come up."

I don't know how many times Huanying looked up at the sky. I don't know when the snow has stopped, but the sky is getting darker and darker. Fu Mingchun also looked up at the sky. "The sky is not clear, but I'm afraid there will be heavy snow!" Fu Ming mellow muttered.

"Uh-huh!" Huanying sighed, "I just hope that they can come up to the mouth before dark. Let's go, old man. Let's not stand in the wind. If you get cold and sick, I'm so handsome!"

"Oh! Don't worry, the military commander, I'm strong!" Even so, the two still left the edge of the flowing stone slope and went away from the shelter from the wind.

More than an hour later, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the confused Huanying and Fu Mingchun finally waited for the team behind, "What about General Lu, how far is he?" Huan ling asked the soldiers anxiously.

"Well, General Lu will be here soon!" A general replied, but his eyes did not look happy.

Huanxuan's keen discovery was that not only the soldiers who replied, but also all the people who came up one after another seemed to be not very good, and once they came into contact with her eyes, they instantly moved elsewhere. Huanling's heart immediately sank, and something must have happened.

Because her middle passers-by have distanced themselves from the team behind, and the two people in the front and middle have gone down the mountain, the news of the back has not been transmitted in time in the past two hours. What happened to them? Is it Lu Zisong...

Ah, no, no, it's absolutely impossible. Huanying beat a thrill and interrupted his nonsense, "What's wrong with you? What are you doing? My guards are all men. When the sky falls, don't you have to carry it!" Huanxuan roared loudly, "I, no matter what happened to you, I have to raise my head and straighten my chest. Do you hear me!"

"Yes, military commander!" The generals and soldiers answered the way together, stood upright on the entrance, and stood silently.

Huanying shivered secretly for a long time before he said, "Say, do we have any brothers who have stayed in Huaziling forever?"

The generals were stunned, and one soldier finally couldn't help saying sadly, "The military commander guessed right. The three generals of my army have slept in the snowy mountains, including the first seriously injured soldier, and the other two are afraid that their bones will be found..."

Sure enough, he was guessed by himself, and his happy body shook, and he said sadly, "Do you know their names? Even if we can't bring their bones back to Weijun, or even their military cards can't be brought back, then we will bring their names back together!"
