When a passerby becomes a princess

Just when Lin Qiu was worried about Lin Yue's injury, Liang Xi was also injured.

This day happened to be the day to go out to cut firewood. He sent the tiger head to the second sister Qiao's house early, and went out with the team. Because the wind and snow were not strong today, it was still early to reach the woods on the other side of the valley, so the leader let everyone rest Let's have lunch.

When Liang Xi was sitting on a tree stump and eating wheat cakes, he suddenly saw a flash of red in the woods. He looked closely, and it turned out to be a red fox.

For some reason, Liang Xi suddenly remembered his dream, and thought of Lin Qiu in the dream wearing a red wedding dress, smiling at him, stood up involuntarily, and chased after the fox.

Someone shouted from behind: "Brother Liang, where are you going? Don't run around here, there are..." Before he finished speaking, Liang Xi disappeared with a "hoo".

Naturally, Liang Xi didn't disappear, but fell into a crack.Most of the mountain is made of stone, and the stone has been washed away by rain and snow all year round, forming many canyons and cracks.When it snows, the snowdrifts can't be seen on the top, but as long as people walk on it, they will fall into the cracks.

The crack where Liang Xi fell was quite deep, but fortunately the crack was a bit inclined, he slid all the way down, and there were many branches and leaves underneath, and there was thick snow, he only sprained one foot.

"Brother Liang, are you alright?" someone shouted from above the crack, it was a fellow horse bandit.

"I'm fine, I just sprained my ankle." Liang Xi stood up on one leg and looked up. The crack was about seven or eighty meters high, and the stone walls on both sides were steep and slippery. It was almost impossible for him to climb up.

"Wait, I'll get the rope." The horse bandit above couldn't see clearly, so he went to get the rope as he shouted.

If horse bandits go out to rob, they must wear ropes, but now they are only here to chop firewood, and no one will bring a heavy leather rope, only a thin hemp rope to bind firewood. It can't weigh the weight of an adult man, and if it is combined into two strands, it won't be long enough.

"What can I do?" The leader was having a headache, and while sending the rest of the bandits to chop firewood, he wanted to find some long branches or trunks, but most of the trees here were pine trees, so it was really difficult to find a tall and straight tree. easy.

Seeing that it was time to go back, if he didn't go back, he would have to walk in the mountains at night, and the leader had no choice but to tell Liang Xi to let him stay down for the night, and bring a rope to rescue him tomorrow morning.The leader left Liang Xi half a bag of spirits, a few wheat cakes, two horse meat pies, a bundle of firewood and a stick of firewood, and finally threw away his big leather robe.

Liang Xi looked at the piles of things around him. Although he was a little helpless to be left alone, he was still very grateful, especially the last big leather robe. The leader gave him the leather robe. I'm wearing a jacket, I'm going back this way to face the wind and snow, so don't come out in the cold.

The firewood-cutting team left. Liang Xi sat on the firewood, took off his boots and looked at his feet. He saw a bulge on his ankle. Although the pain was severe, he could still turn. It should be that he didn't hurt his bones. Only then did I feel relieved.He ate half a piece of wheat cake, drank two sips of strong wine to warm up his body, cleared a place and came out, planning to light the fire before it was dark.

The bottom of the crack is fairly flat and wider than the top. After cleaning out the branches, I found that the bottom is full of gravel and gravel. About every year after the snow melts, water flows through here, so the stone is very smooth, and it is not uncomfortable to sleep on a leather robe. .

The light in the crack was dim, because there was no wind, it was actually not very cold, but Liang Xi still lit the fire.Looking at the warm firelight, Liang Xi finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart.Speaking of which, Liang Xi was just a big boy who had just turned 19 years old, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little uneasy when he was left in the rock crevice in the wilderness like this.

But what made him even more uneasy was the next day. He waited in the crack until the sun went down, but still no one came.

Liang Xi kept walking up and down at the bottom of the crack, and shouted loudly, but there was silence all around, only the sound of the wind howling past could be heard from time to time.He didn't know what happened, why those horse bandits didn't come to rescue him, and he was also very scared. If he was abandoned, what awaited him would be freezing and starving to death.

He tried to climb up, but the stone wall was too smooth, and he couldn't use his one foot, so he couldn't support it after climbing a few meters and fell down.

Liang Xi had never been as panicked as he is now, even when he woke up in the pit in the woods that night, because he held the idea that he could go back after walking out of the woods, he didn't feel any fear.But now, he has fallen into a desperate situation, making every day unresponsive and the earth not working.

No, maybe not desperate.

Looking at the cracks extending to both sides, Liang Xi put on a leather robe, tied a torch, and limped towards the downward extending side while supporting the stone wall.He couldn't wait foolishly. There was only the last piece of wheat cake and horse meat pie left. If no one came, he could only wait for death. If he didn't want to wait for death, he had to save himself.

Some places at the bottom of the crack are quite wide, enough for four or five people to walk side by side, but some places are so narrow that you need to turn sideways to barely squeeze through.The sky darkened quickly, but fortunately there were no shortage of branches on the ground, and the fire for the night and the torches for continuing to explore the road tomorrow were not a problem.

It's just that the wheat cakes must be eaten sparingly, otherwise, if he can't get out tomorrow, he will walk hungry.Liang Xi broke off a small piece of wheat cake, bit it into his mouth bit by bit, chewed carefully for a long time before swallowing it.

Suddenly he remembered an incident when he was in the frontier army.

At that time, under Lin Bai's plan, the frontier army worked together to punish Liang Xi, and drilled him like a dead dog every day, so as not to keep him in trouble with the general.

One day when Liang Xi was returning to the barracks, he met Lin Yue and several generals. It happened that it was time for dinner. They each took two pieces of wheat cake and walked away while eating.

Lin Yue's voice was loud, and Liang Xi heard him say from a long distance: "Hey, today's wheat cakes are really delicious. After two days of eating thin ones, you can hear the sound of water in your stomach. This can be regarded as a dry meal." .”

Liang Xi didn't quite understand what he said, but he understood one sentence, that wheat cake is delicious!In fact, even though Liang Xi was in the barracks, his food was still taken care of by the two cooks he brought, and he was not deducted.It's just that this northern Xinjiang can't compare with the prosperity of the capital. Not to mention that there are no fish and shrimps, but there are few types of vegetables, and the meat is only mutton.

In the past few days, Liang Xizheng was angry because he had finished eating his favorite kind of Bijing rice, and the capital hadn't brought a new one. When he heard that there were delicious wheat cakes, he immediately went over to grab a piece of wheat cake from Lin Yue. .Lin Yue was ferocious, but he was only facing soldiers with beards and bad drills. He would never get angry because a piece of wheat cake was robbed.

But Liang Xi only took a bite and threw the wheat cake on the ground, covering his mouth and staring straight. The wheat cake without oil, salt and filling was as hard as a stone, so hard that it hurt his teeth.

Lin Yue did not get angry at first, but when he saw the wheat cakes thrown on the ground and Liang Xi tried to kick them away with his feet, he immediately slapped him, and Liang Xi flew upside down for more than 30 meters as he wiped the ground.Bending down to pick up the wheat cakes on the ground and patting them, Lin Yue looked at the angry generals around him, and said in a deep voice, "What is the responsibility of the frontier army?"

Several generals straightened their spines almost like a conditioned reflex, and said loudly: "Defend the home and the country!"

Lin Yue took a bite of the wheat cake, nodded and said, "Yes."

The generals were taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that the major general was saying that even if he is a prince, what does it have to do with us? We guard the northern border to protect our family and the people of Liangguo, so there is no need to fight with him. General knowledge.Taking a contemptuous glance at Liang Xi, the generals followed Lin Yue without looking back.

After all, Lin Yue still cared about his status as a prince, so he didn't hurt Liang Xi, but Liang Xi was still so angry that he flew upside down, not only had a big hole in his outer robe, but even his pants were so torn that his flesh was exposed , he had to cover his ass and run all the way back.

After that, Liang Xi and Lin Yue forged a feud. Of course, Liang Xi did it unilaterally. He tried every means to tease Lin Yue, including drawing a turtle on Lin Yue's horse's buttocks, blocking his nose and pouring feces and water. Next to Lin Yue's barracks, taking advantage of Lin Yue's absence, throwing earthworms on his bed... and so on.

Thinking about it now, I was so stupid back then.

Liang Xi only ate less than a quarter of the wheat cake, and carefully took it back into his arms. He had never experienced hunger, and he would never know how terrible it was, especially in winter, when hunger and cold would make people feel sick. People panic from the bottom of their hearts.

"I have to apologize to Lin Yue when I go back." Liang Xi looked at the fire and said in a low voice.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that hunger is so terrible, I didn't know that food is so important, I shouldn't throw away that wheat cake at will, and I shouldn't mess with you because of your lesson.

"Lin Yue will forgive me. He is Qiu'er's second elder brother. If you don't look at the monk's face, you should also look at the Buddha's face..." Liang Xi wrapped himself in a leather robe, and lay beside the fire talking to himself, as if This will reduce the fear in my heart.

It's just that he didn't know that Lin Yue, whom he wanted to apologize to, was struggling on the verge of life and death.

The poisonous arrow that Huzi shot at him has been pulled out, the wound is not big, and the blood flowing out is also bright red, but Lin Yue has been unconscious, and his breathing is getting more and more rapid, and several doctors around can even hear it. It sounded like a whistle.

Lin Qiu's car stopped in front of Lin Yue's barracks, and several generals were already waiting at the door.

"I've seen the Crown Princess." Several generals saw him get off the car, and immediately saluted him respectfully, not only because he was the Crown Princess, but also because he was the son of the Great General and the younger brother of the Major General.

"Where is my second brother?" Lin Qiu asked Lin Yue immediately.

Several generals hurriedly led him into the room, and there was a burst of chaos inside, and Lin Yue's personal soldiers were holding up a chair to smash the doctors.

"Shunzi, what's going on?" Several generals hurried over to stop him.

The soldier shouted with red eyes: "These quack doctors...these quack doctors actually said that the major general can't be saved!"
