Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Chapter 3 Saving lives was originally to be chased and killed to escape the enemy

Ordinary people would not dare to climb this cliff in the ice and snow.But Jiang Yuan is different. He was very good at rock climbing when he was a scout and special soldier in his previous life. Climbing the cliff with his bare hands without a rope was like walking on flat ground for him. , Hands and feet/alternate only three or two times before falling to the ground, carefully check the situation of the person who fell down the cliff.

Turning the person over, he is a young man in his twenties. Although he is not dressed extravagantly, he can tell from the fabric that he must be from the Daifuku family.However, the bloodstains and scars on this body are by no means like being scratched by falling off a cliff, but rather like being scratched by a sword.There is something inside, don't be hunted down.Jiang Yuan sighed, but it's not good to just leave him like this... Anyway, there is no old lady who can't help these days, so let him show mercy.

After sniffing, he found that the man just passed out, and checked again that there was no broken bone. Jiang Yuan immediately picked up the man on his back and walked to a nearby cave.

cold, so cold.

Situ Sheng felt so cold all over his body, he tried to huddle himself into a ball, but he couldn't control his siblings at all...

It seems like when did I feel such a cold, when, when...

Yes, when I was eight years old.He played in the snow with his fourth and fifth younger brothers, but after returning home, the fourth and fifth younger brothers suffered from a cold. He was punished by his father and ordered to kneel in the heavy snow all night, as if it was so cold at that time.

What happened afterwards, yes, he seemed to have fainted from the cold, and when he woke up, he found that he was still lying on the snow. At that time, he thought that he should have a fever, but he only felt the coldness in his heart, as if even his heart and liver were cold. Snow does the same.

He felt his body warmed up a bit, as if a fireball was burning on his body, half of his body was cold and the other was hot, just like after that kneeling punishment.His mother Jiang Shupin knelt down and begged his father, and begged for a whole night to let his father let him go and take him back to the warm room, but at that time he had already burned unconscious.His mother wiped his body with ice water to lower the temperature, and took care of him for three days and three nights in undressed clothes before he recovered, but his sister was almost killed.

When he woke up, what did mother say...

"Son, you have to live well, live..."

Alive, yes, he has to live, his mother and his sister are the only ones to rely on, he must live!

Situ Sheng felt that the darkness in front of his eyes was no longer so dark, as if there was some light, but before he could see what was in front of him, a voice came from his ear, "Hey, are you awake?"

Situ Sheng felt as if he nodded, and the next moment he was supported by someone, a broken bowl was stretched out to his mouth, and the voice continued: "Can you hear me? This is Hot water, take a sip first."

Situ Cheng, who was still a little dazed, opened his mouth following the man's words, and the next moment a warm liquid slipped into his mouth, flowed down the throat and into the stomach, following the warm feeling , his mind seemed to be a lot clearer, and he turned around to observe the surrounding situation.

This is a dark cave, beside him is a crackling and burning fire, and there seems to be some dry straw piled up under him, someone behind him supports him, and a bowl is placed in front of him by that person.The hands and feet were not tied, and the wound on his body was much better. He... Was he rescued?

The person behind helped him to lie back, put some firewood on the fire with his back facing him, and then turned around and sat opposite him.Situ Sheng immediately took the opportunity to see clearly that the person who helped him was a young man in common clothes.The young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his appearance was very handsome. It was not the soft and elegant style advocated nowadays, but a feeling of iron bones.He is obviously a young boy, but he has a strong and powerful feeling in every gesture. He sits on the ground, but his waist is straight, just like a firm pine and cypress, which is strong and tenacious even on the cliff.

He didn't know that Jiang Yuan had been a soldier for several years in his previous life. Except when he deliberately pretended to be a disguise, the soldier's every move of standing like a pine and sitting like a bell has been engraved in his bones, and he can't change it.

"Now that you're awake, let's talk about how many people are still chasing you." Jiang Yuan opened and closed his mouth and spit out such words, which made Situ Sheng, who was still in high fever, almost slow down.

"Don't you ask who I am? Who is chasing me?" Situ Sheng felt that his thinking could not keep up with the speed of the young man.

Jiang Yuan added some more firewood, and replied kindly, "First, it doesn't matter who you are to me, you don't look like a Northern Man, and you don't look like a traitor or a villain in your appearance. You, if you are really an evil person who can deceive me, I probably wouldn’t be able to tell if you said you were not lying, and it would be useless to ask. Second, it doesn’t matter to me who the person chasing you is. Catching criminals openly and aboveboard will never be so sneaky for fear of being seen, so the person chasing you must not be a good person, since he is not a good person, then there is nothing wrong with me helping you escape."

Situ Sheng rubbed his temples, and sure enough, he had a fever. He was so dizzy that he asked a stupid question... But he was more interested in the young man in front of him, and he was able to analyze so many things in a short time. , doing pies in Ghana, totally unlike ordinary civilians, who the hell is he?

"There are more than a dozen people chasing me, all holding bows and arrows, not the kind used by hunters, but the hard bows of the army." Situ Sheng said: "They also brought hunting dogs, and they will never stop until they catch me. "

More than a dozen people brought hunting dogs to catch such a young man, and thinking about the hard bow in the army... Jiang Yuan felt that his soft-heartedness this time really caused a big trouble.Judging from the injuries on the young man's body, one can tell that the chaser just wanted to capture him alive, otherwise none of the five or six wounds on his body was aimed at the vital point, and the technique was too bad.The blood on his clothes did not belong to him alone. He might have been sprayed with blood by the people around him. They must be his guards. If the enemy could get so close to him, he would have been arrested long ago.When he was found, there was no one around him, which meant that his guards were probably dead.What is the purpose of someone who can get the hard bow in the army to kill all the guards and try to capture this guy alive?I also want to know that the person he rescued either knew some secrets or had some special identity. The guy chasing him must be sent by some corrupt officials...

Forget it, it's all in ancient times, so what if he is a hero who helps those in danger and saves the poor, it's just a reward for the martial arts novels he read back then...

"Now that you're awake, let's go. We won't wait until you recover. Although I walked all the way over the rocks and didn't leave any footprints, since these people have dogs, I'm afraid they will catch up soon. We can't waste time here." The boy stood up, took back a large piece of snow from outside the cave, used it to extinguish the fire, and then stretched out his hand to pull the boy up.Looking at the injury on the young man's leg, the young man sighed, and bowed with his back to him, "Come on, I'll carry you behind my back."

A big man let a boy who is not as tall as himself carry it?It was rare for Situ Sheng to try to walk by himself, but before he could take two steps, he was dragged by the young man with a light wave of his arm, and his whole body was thrown on the young man's back as lightly as a sack filled with cotton.Before he could stabilize, the boy had already strode forward, his movements were so light and fast that it was impossible to see that he was carrying a large living person weighing more than 100 kilograms on his back.

... No, it's not just a living person, Situ Sheng felt a little tight in his chest. Looking closely, the boy was carrying a hare and a pheasant on his back... Could it be that this boy is a hunter on the mountain?But why didn't you see the bow and arrow on his body?It doesn't sound like talking.

"You, put me down!" Situ Sheng tried to get the boy to put him down, but the boy ran out of the cave in a few steps as if he didn't hear him, and then climbed up the steep rock wall beside the cave.Seeing this scene, Situ Sheng had no choice but to shut up. Even if he was not injured, he would never be able to climb such a steep cliff. It would be hypocritical to try to be brave.

The cliff was about five or six miles to the north from the place where Situ Cheng fell, but the direction was opposite, and the height was also much higher, about ten feet, and it was extremely difficult to climb in addition to the dark sky.But the young man was as young as an ape and as agile as a yellow crane. Although he was carrying Situ Sheng on his back, it was as if he was carrying a goose feather. He climbed up all the way without any effort.

At this time, the pursuers had also caught up, and the hounds they brought were howling below, using the torches to illuminate Situ Cheng and the two who were seeing them climbing up.Situ Sheng looked back and saw that dozens of people were all bows ready to shoot, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Be careful!"

Jiang Yuan continued to climb up unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "The mountain wind is so strong, can you still shoot an arrow?" people.

Jiang Yuan didn't care, "This mountain gorge is a wind outlet, and the north wind is unobstructed from north to south. With such a strong wind, let alone the hard bow he used, even the bed crossbow may not be accurate."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan climbed higher and higher, he was about to turn up, and the pursuers who followed were also anxious, but going up the cliff was no better than going down the cliff. When going down, everyone was on the cliff, and they could use ropes and vines to drop people down one by one. , But going up the cliff either takes a detour, or someone must first climb to the top of the cliff before pulling the people behind up.With such a steep and towering cliff accompanied by howling mountain winds, Jiang Yuan dared to climb up with great strength, but the pursuers were not so good at it, so he had to half stay at the bottom of the cliff and watch them climb the rock, and half to find a detour Methods.Jiang Yuan was happy, "This cliff is not easy to go around. If you want to go around here, you have to walk more than [-] miles on the mountain road, so let them go around slowly." With his hands on the ground, he had already climbed to the top of the cliff.

"They brought hunting dogs, I'm afraid they won't be able to get rid of them." Situ Sheng frowned.

"Don't worry, they won't catch up." Jiang Yuan stepped on the snow and walked to the southeast, as if leaving footprints on purpose, he led the footprints straight to the entrance of a cave, then carefully backed up and followed the original path. The footprints returned to a big tree and climbed up.

Can this get rid of the pursuers?Situ Sheng was puzzled.He watched the boy break off a branch that was as thick as two arms and tie it with a rope, not knowing what he was going to do.

Jiang Yuan tried it, and felt that the branch and the rope were very strong, so he threw the branch violently, making it hang on a big tree three feet away like a hook. "Don't shout for a while."

Situ Sheng didn't understand what this meant, so the young man took him into the air, and he felt the wind whistling in his ears, and his body fell down suddenly. Before he could cry out, he turned up again, and finally landed on the On a big tree six feet away from the original tree.

The boy took back the rope connected to the branch, and said with a smile, "How is it? Is it fun? Exciting? I've wanted to try Taishan's move for a long time."

Situ Sheng doesn't know what excitement is, let alone who Tai Shan is, so it's fun? !Is he trying to scare people to death? !Before he could complain, the boy had already hung the branch on another tree, and he was dragged to play with the boy in a free fall... It's not like he didn't know that the boy wanted to avoid leaving smells and footprints, But this method... Although he doesn't know what fear of heights is, Situ Sheng feels that he will definitely leave a psychological shadow on Dashu in the future.

The boy swung from one tree to another in this way, walking for several miles before resting on a big tree.Situ Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief, "Was that cave just now?"

"Ah, that's the cave where black bears hibernate." Jiang Yuan showed a smirk. It's been more than half of the winter, and a big bear with a few cubs inside is at the hungriest time. Teeth fighting festival.As for the hard bow, hehe, at such a short distance, the hard bow may be caught by the bears before it is opened. Even if it can be shot, it may not be able to shoot through the thick skin and fat of the black bear.It's not easy for these guys to survive, don't think they can escape without any injuries. You must know that there are more than bears nearby. While the bear is hibernating, the surrounding tigers and wolves often cross the border to look for food in this area, and there is no prey in winter. Without a trace, wouldn't these pursuers become the best food?Thinking that they would be stared at by the fierce beasts who were so hungry in the deep winter, Jiang Yuan curled his lips, saying that no one should enter the forest, no one should chase after the poor, no matter who made these guys commit crimes.

Jiang Yuan thought in his heart: He is still careless. Of course he is not afraid of a few pursuers with bows and arrows by himself. With his current ability, he can keep them all, but it is impossible to protect the youth and deal with the pursuers. up.It seems that you still have to bring a guy with you when you go out in the future.
