In addition, he is now an old man, and he feels that if he does not treat him properly, he is afraid that his lifespan will be damaged.

For the next period of time, Yuan Xi left everyone here, while he led a group of guards and ran back and forth in the four counties of Xianbei to check some situations.

It is reserved as the basic preparation for attacking the remnants of the Huns in the coming year.

The climate of the grassland is changeable. During the days of running around, Yuan Xi encountered strong wind once and heavy rain several times, and almost half of his time was spent on the road.

I finally ran all four counties, and when I turned back, it was so hard to die that it snowed again.It's not big, but I don't know how long it will last.

He was not surprised at all that there was another heavy snowfall in the prairie this season.After all, even in Youzhou, there was only one heavy snowfall this year, although that heavy snowfall was unusually heavy.

"Hurry up. Let's go back quickly." The guards led by Yuan Xi are a group of strong men, and his own physical fitness is extremely strong. Seeing the snow, he wanted to rush back, and then brought Caroline and others back to Ji County .

Chapter 745 Stone Wall

Everyone hurried on their horses, except at night, they were all on their way, taking the shortest route, and finally returned to You Wang's place after seven days.

"General." You Wang was already waiting for him, "If you want to go back, you have to hurry up. It seems that the snow will take a long time. I'll ask someone to watch it. After half a month, there will be another big snowstorm." Blizzard."

"Half a month? There's still a big snowstorm?" Yuan Xi frowned into the word Chuan.

You Wang said with a wry smile: "The climate in our grassland is often like this, the general is not used to normal, in my opinion, the general can wait here until the snow stops, see how the road conditions are, and then decide to go back, otherwise if you meet someone on the road What kind of blizzard is hard to deal with."

"No." Yuan Xi refused without thinking, "When the snow stops, the road may still be impassable. I don't know how long it will take for the snow to melt. I can't wait that long."

Right Wang Moran, said for a long time: "Then the general should go on the road as soon as possible, try to go as early as possible, and don't rest in the wild at night. As long as you enter the newly built town, there should be no problem."

"That's fine." Yuan Xi didn't have time to rest, and if they waited another day, it would be more difficult for them to go back.

The girls had already packed up when the heavy snow fell, so it didn't take much time.

After a thousand guards and hundreds of carriages were ready, Yuan Xi watched Caroline bid farewell to the right king, waved her hand, and everyone started to move forward in the snow.

At the beginning, except for Liu Gu and Zhen Dao who was a little uncomfortable, everyone was riding a horse, so the speed was very fast.After two or three days, the speed slowly slowed down.

But at this time, everyone had already walked the journey of the previous five or six days.

"It seems that the weather is beautiful." After walking for a few days, the snow was getting smaller and smaller.Gradually there is a tendency to stop.

"Husband, you may have forgotten one thing." Caroline has been riding a horse recently, and she is very strong. Except for Lu Qiling, she is the only woman who can persist.

"You mean a big snowstorm?"

"Yes. Uncle Shaman has always been very accurate in weather predictions." Caroline looked worried, "It will take more than a month before we go back and talk less."

"It's okay, just pay attention when the time comes, and when it's almost half a month, we will enter the town and make a good repair."

"Yeah." Caroline responded, shrank her body, and muttered: "In the past, even if there was a blizzard at this time, the temperature should have risen a little bit. Why do I feel more and more cold?"

"It's snowing, it's not cold." Yuan Xi rushed out, "Run a lot, people and horses are not cold."

"Husband, wait for me." Caroline saw the thoughts of her family members, and her mood was much better than before. Seeing that Yuan Xi took the lead, she hurriedly chased after her...

Ten days later, the little snow that had tended to stop before began to fall again.

All over the sky.

Looking at the formation, he knew it wasn't Xiaoxue, at least it was above Zhongxue.

"Husband, there are still one or two days and half a month. Shall we find a place to rest?"

"Okay." Yuan Xi replied loudly to Caroline who was reminding him in the carriage. After finding the guide, he found out that the distance to the nearest town would take at least half a day, and he was no longer in a hurry.

If there is a heavy snowstorm, hide away. Anyway, the time will not be long. After the snowstorm, after a while, it will be a safe road section, and you can enter Yuyang County.After leaving the grassland, there is no problem with the heavy snowfall.

At least, at present, he feels that the snowstorm can't stop them from going back.

After a long time, everyone finally saw a small town in the distance, but it was not so much a small town as a large village, surrounded by huge boulders about two meters high.

"Why are there so many boulders built here?" Yuan Xi walked over, pulled out his sword and poked it vigorously, and found that it was really not ordinary strong. He looked down carefully and saw that the two stones were flattened together , What glue seems to be used in the middle.

Caroline didn't know when she came over, and smiled at him, "What is your husband looking at?"

Yuan Xi pointed to the stone, "Why is this stone wall built so short?"

"You said this, this is originally used to defend against danger, such as some wolves coming out at night. It is much more convenient to use this to defend against, and of course it can also defend against the enemy." Caroline glanced inside, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes , "But there shouldn't be many people in it now, I'm afraid it's all deserted."

"Why?" Yuan Xi really didn't pay attention to the situation inside. Looking inside, he found that there was really no one inside. After watching for a long time, a trembling old man passed by, looked at them, and walked slowly with a cane. Far.

"There really didn't seem to be anyone there."

"There wasn't one at all. Everyone who could walk has gone." Everyone walked in slowly.Caroline said as she walked: "This was the territory of King Zuo before, and with the development of the surrounding area, this place has gradually become deserted. Now there are probably less than a dozen families in it."

Soon a guard came to report that there were a total of two hundred households inside, but there were only four households living there, less than ten people.

"It's really pitiful." Yuan Xi sighed: "There are less than ten people. What are these people still living here?"

"Maybe it's impossible to move away, otherwise everything that should be moved away will be moved away." Caroline shook her little head, throwing out her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go in, fortunately, there is no one, otherwise so Many people haven't fallen asleep yet."

This is true, a team of more than 1000 people is not a special arrangement, it is really difficult to live.The situation is just right.

"Get more firewood and straw, we have to rest here for a long time." Yuan Xi ordered, and everyone started to work.

The sky is getting darker and the snow is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, although it snows continuously, it is all dry snow and has not melted. Therefore, the firewood and straw under the snow inside are all dry, which is very suitable for resting at night. . "

Because it was winter, when no one came, a quilt was prepared. These quilts were neatly folded, packed in the guard's luggage, and placed on the carriage.Just to deal with this situation.Right now it works.

A relatively large house was used as Yuan Xi's temporary foothold.

The inside had already been cleaned up.

There are five houses of different sizes. Yuan Xi ordered the guards to unload the carriages outside and put the horses into the stables.Check the house for damage and prepare plenty of charcoal and straw for firewood.

Although I brought a lot of charcoal this time, more than half of it has been burned, and there are not many left. It is also necessary to prepare firewood here.

After everything was ready, Yuan Xi went to inspect the places where everyone lived.

746 Blizzard

Finally he sent someone to block up the low stone wall.After all, this is a prairie, and it is a barren place. If there are any dangerous animals at night, it is easy to defend. Although Yuan Xi thinks there is nothing to be afraid of, it is better to be prepared.

As for the few remaining old people, Yuan Xi also had someone visit them.Caroline guessed right, these people just couldn't move away, so they stayed.Otherwise, I would have left here long ago.I don't know anything about the blizzard a few days later.

After everything was done, Yuan Xi returned to his room.

There are five rooms, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao take turns sleeping in the same room with Liu Gu, and Caroline and Lu Qiling in the same room.Gongsun Baoyue also asked for a room to see who would rest with Yuan Xi, if Zhen Tuo Zhen said, then she would go back to her own room, otherwise she would rest with Yuan Xi.

There is one house left, which is to store some necessary things, such as food or drink.After all, you have to live here for several days, and you can't put all your things outside, otherwise it will be difficult to take them.
