If the Water Margin

Chapter 339 Icefield

The light from all around made Pan Jinlian feel a little dizzy. She almost got out of the carriage again, but her hand grabbed the raised wooden strips on the carriage in time. She was surprised that her hands were so powerful, but her legs could not stand up at all. If it was because of the disease, it should be equivalent to the limbs. It was impossible to stop the whole body from falling with the strength of just a few fingers.

The only possibility is that this is not a natural result. Yes, Pan Jinlian realized that this must have been used by Huang Hu. As a mysterious killer, Huang Hu should be abnormally proficient in the application of various poisons. It was also because Huang Hu was sure that her legs could not stand up, so he left her alone in the carriage. Otherwise, Pan Qi, who woke up, only needed a light leap to escape, and what was left to Huang Hu would be the tragic ending of being killed by the "three names".

Pan Jinlian realized that although she had been in the fort for a long time, freedom was probably still far away for her. Of course, at this stage, because Huang Hu's life was in her hands, Huang Hu should not be too difficult for her, but according to Huang Hu's ability, he and he As for the active status, Pan Jinlian even felt that it was only a matter of time before she was forced to cancel the blessing of the "third name" for Huang Hu. Once this only hostage was removed, Huang Hu would be unscrupulous. Pan Jinlian also believed that Huang Hu would never spare the person who had threatened his life.

It seems that life is really rich. I can only think about getting married later.

But where is this? Pan Jinlian tried her best to think that she had hardly seen such an endless flatness. Even in winter, there should always be some fallen trees and discarded stones on such a flat ground. It is impossible to have farmland in such a good place. Even in winter, those farmers will make the land into flat squares one after another to wait for spring to sow hope for the whole year. Here, for the sake of popular use, the two years and three mature areas in North China are not taken into account. On the one hand, Pan Jinlian's growth trajectory may not make her very understanding of agriculture. On the other hand, the difference between agricultural farming in North China in the Song Dynasty and the present is still relatively obvious.)

Also, Pan Jinlian has never smelled such a wind, as if the worst salt water is melted in the wind. Only after the family falls will her mother buy some of the salt sellers. Pan Jinlian has seen that those salts are still mixed with mud and sand.

Although it seems impossible, but... Pan Jinlian feels that this does not seem to be land. If she doesn't look at the ground in front of her and close her eyes to smell it, she will feel that she is at the seaside. Although she has never seen the sea, more than one sailor has described the seaside scenery to Pan Qi and the natural scenery brought by the sea that is very different from the land. Those sailors are skillful. Pan Jinlian knows their minds very well. They are unattractive. The skin wrinkled by the sea breeze and the limbs that are not working well because they have been at sea all year round can't please women, but the sea can. They want women to think that the sea is one with them. If young Pan Jinlian heard these words, she was likely to be moved and began to yearn for the life of dancing with the wind and waves on the sea. Unfortunately, when Pan Jinlian first heard the words about the (harmonious) sea, she had killed the sea sand. Since then, she was not a naive girl. , but a woman who forced herself to think, not to mention that she knew that what she was waiting for was not the sea, but the dream with blood red.

Because that's the turning point.

Anyway, what the sea left for Pan Jinlian is a linguistic description. The language is very accurate when describing the sense of touch, hearing and smell, but it is much worse when expressing the actual appearance. In addition, those sailors have not studied much, and the language of their picture is extremely dry, so they also Don't make more pen and ink here to avoid showing timidity.

Pan Jinlian looked carefully again, and she was sure that this was the seaside. But if this is the seaside, why can't you see the waves and only see the ice sheet?

All this is actually not difficult to explain. The sea is frozen, just like the river is frozen. The ice sheet she sees is just the ice on the surface of the sea, and the turbulent waves are hidden under the quiet shell.

I didn't expect that the sea could also be frozen. Pan Jinlian stretched out the words of the sailors from her memory. It seems that no one has mentioned this to her, but the sea water is also water. Since it is water, it will freeze, which is also said. Pan Jinlian comforted herself.

It's just that she doesn't know what Huang Hu is going to do to take her to the seaside, but for her now, even understanding the intention is useless. She can't move, and Huang Hu is not here. She doesn't even have room for negotiation.

Yellow Tiger

Huang Hu was very anxious. Although he had left some wealth when he estimated the time spent on the journey, he did not expect that the sea had frozen and the port he arrived had been frozen.

This is something he has never heard of. The angry yellow tiger almost wanted to smash the ice with a hammer. Of course, he also knew that it was useless. In desperation, he had to consult the iron bachelor. When he talked to the iron bachelor, he always felt a kind of inexplicable pressure. Maybe this was the price of talking to the legend, so he didn't like to do so. What's more, although the iron bachelor had left the school city, he was not from Facebook Island. After all, taking him back will What kind of impact can't be predicted by Huang Hu.

The iron bachelor's answer is very simple: "Seawater will also freeze. Of course, the sea will not be frozen as a whole. This will only happen in places close to the mainland with low salt content in water."

Huang Hu then asked patiently, "How big will such a frozen area be?"

The iron bachelor just glanced gently and said, "About 60 or 70 miles. I don't see any sign of water from here. I think it's at least so far."

What this distance means is very clear to Huang Hu. He can't find the boatman who is willing to push the ship from the ice to such a distance into the water and then take them to Facebook Island. He can't give him any money. Even if the boatman is willing, in such a long towing distance, the keel at the bottom of the ship is likely to be injured. In addition, no one knows where the ice will suddenly crack, and the cold sea will immediately swallow everyone, even the best sailor.

Even at the edge of the ice, there is no port, the ship can't even berth, there is no place to bolt the anchor, and passengers can't board the ship. This is simply a despair for Huang Hu. He can feel the passage of time, but he can't stop it and do something promising.

Huang Hu asked the iron bachelor: "When do you think this ice will melt?"

The iron bachelor was still slow and said with his childish mouth, "It is estimated that it will take another month. It should melt after the Spring Festival. At that time, some big ships that are not afraid of small ice can go to sea."

Huang Hu felt that he was going crazy. He couldn't sit down and couldn't ask the iron bachelor to do anything. What's more, it was already a great favor for the iron bachelor to help him get Pan Jinlian for half a day. If he owes something in a legend like the iron bachelor, this old guy will definitely double his own shape. I want to come back. Huang Hu doesn't have the courage.

Huang Hu knew that the temperature in the south was lower than in the north, so he gave Pan Jinlian some drugs that made her legs weak, so he bought a fast horse and ran south, hoping to find a port that could be used. He couldn't ask the iron bachelor to help guard Pan Jinlian, so he could only come up with this strategy. Qianmian told him that he was not allowed to hurt Pan Jinlian, so he did not dare to use any medicine that could completely make her unconscious.

The search process was not smooth. He ran nearly 120 miles south and only found one port. Although the degree of ice in that port was lighter than here, it was still a fool's dream to go to sea. Huang Hu calculated the time, and Pan Jinlian was about to wake up. Although she could not walk, she was the most important thing for Huang Hu. She could not go wrong before seeing thousands of faces and completely handed it over to the iron bachelor. Huang Hu was not relieved. So, the yellow tiger who got nothing rushed back again.

It was freezing. When he was about to come back, the horse's hoof broke in the frozen soil. He did not pity the dying horses. He immediately rushed down from the horse and ran back against his legs - it was not that he didn't want to buy horses, but that he could hardly find any vendors selling small things on the cold seaside, let alone It is said that horses are difficult to survive in the cold.

Finally, when he felt that his legs could not hold on, he saw the familiar carriage and the iron bachelor sitting on the stone not far from the side of the carriage. The iron bachelor sat cross-legged and looked at the frozen sea like a statue. He was motionless, as if he had been here since the creation of heaven and earth. He has experienced countless vicissitudes and has remained until now.

Huang Hu thinks that he has the opportunity to suddenly kill the iron bachelor. In that case, he can become a living legend. As long as he is a human, his senses will be a little dull in this cold.

But he didn't dare. In the face of legend, he did not have the courage to fight. He felt that it was the most correct not to provoke such a cruel role.

The sea breeze is blowing, as if the ice field is about to crack at any time, but Huang Hu turned his head and saw that the ice field was still silent.
