Chapter 279 Camping in the Wilderness

Author: meow yuanmiao

After leaving the rolling mountains, we entered the boundary of the Northland.

The Northland is surrounded by mountains, but inside it is unexpectedly flat and vast.

At a glance from the resting place, the outline of the distant mountains shrouded in clouds and mist seems to be on the horizon, supported by the snow-white earth extending far away, and connected to the whitewashed blue sky.

A faint black spot streaked across the horizon, as if something underground was disturbed. The line extending to the foot of the distant mountain was suddenly blurred by flying snow dust, and even the outline of the distant mountain at that point was distorted in the snow dust.

stand up.

Snow dust is rolling in, but the black shadow on the horizon is one step faster, coming from a distance and hovering here.

Yan Zhongqi's eyes darkened, and just as he was alert, he heard a whistle sound beside him.

The eagle hovering high in the sky seemed to have been ordered to swoop down from the sky, but then spread its wings nearby and landed steadily on Hongying's raised arms.

Guo Jia stood in front of Yan Qing and took a mouthful of wind mixed with snow slag and fine bird feathers. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Hong Ying spread his wings, holding a palm-sized piece of oil paper wrapped tightly in his hand.

When he walked forward quickly, he had already opened the paper package haphazardly, and his low and hoarse voice could not hide the joy.

"It's Amler's eagle. It's inconvenient for him to travel far, so he sent him to the north to be on standby."

Hongying took out the bamboo tube wrapped in oil paper, said this hurriedly, and hurriedly asked someone to get the water bowl. At the same time, he poured the contents of the tube into the bowl to melt, and brought it to Yan Qing.

As he said, "The sacred medicine of the Qiangdi witchcraft tribe, it is said that as long as you are still breathing, you will not die."

Since it is a legend, exaggeration is inevitable.

But at this time, no one questioned the efficacy of this legendary holy medicine.

Yan Qing sat in the car, half-leaning on the frame and drank the medicine. Under the worried gaze of everyone, he chuckled and said, "As expected of the holy medicine, it is indeed much more relaxing."

Listening to her fake smile, everyone's worries did not ease a bit.

"Mu Lao would not have sent Amle to the Northland for no reason, and he happened to be bringing the holy medicine from the Qiangland witchcraft tribe. Did you go to get the medicine before? What did you say to him?"

Seeing that everyone was silent and the atmosphere was dull, Yan Qing asked Hongying as if he had nothing to say.

Hongying pursed his lips when asked, knowing that he had leaked the secret, but when Yan Qing asked, he didn't want to hide it from her, "It was Mu Lao who asked. He said, you can't just rest quietly, something will happen if you bother.

. He can’t follow you everywhere, and he won’t feel confident about taking the medicine without seeing it in person. So after asking about your recent arrangements, he decided to let Amler come over."

"I only know about the medicine. It's written on the medicine package."

As he spoke, Hongying handed her the oil paper that was torn to pieces in his hand. He also looked at the eagle circling in the sky with some envy and said, "The kid raised by Amler is really quite spiritual."

He only met me once or twice, but he really remembers me."

Looking at Hong Ying, who was wrapped in a cotton robe, wearing a raincoat, and covered his face with a special mask, Yan Qing chuckled and joked, "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being spiritual that can recognize you like this."

After she said this, Hongying remembered what he was wearing now, but he became more and more surprised, "Then how does it recognize people?"

Yan Qing glanced sideways at the carriage and asked, "What's the sign on the carriage?"

Hong Ying slapped his forehead, "No wonder he told you before leaving that if you have an emergency, you should tie a piece of red silk to the roof of the car!"

After hearing this, Guo Jia walked around the car and saw a shadow of red cloth hanging behind the car.

Looking at the flat-topped carriage, she was glad that the red cloth was nailed tightly and was not carried down by the snow pressed on the roof of the carriage during the bumps.

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, the cavalry, which was raising snow and dust in the distance, finally arrived.

When the leader took off his hood, Yan Zhongqi, who was on guard with a sword, froze immediately. Before the man came over, he lowered his head and stepped aside.

Hong Ying also didn't expect that Qin Mang would personally bring people here!

He quickly glanced at Yan Zhongqi and Yan Qing, took off his mask, and stepped forward to greet Qin Mang, "I've met Old General Qin."

"no."

Qin Mang interrupted him as soon as he raised his hand and walked quickly towards the carriage.

When he saw the person wrapped in a ball on the carriage struggling to get up, he quickly took a step, held the person down, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Amler!"

In fact, Amler had already followed him to the car without him shouting.

After asking about the situation in detail, Amler frowned and asked General Qin to set up camp on the spot first.

The terrain here is open and there is no shelter from the wind, so it is not a good place to camp.

But Qin Mang immediately got busy without saying a word.

After the temporary tent was set up and Yan Qing was moved into the tent to avoid wind and cold, Amler began to check on Yan Qing's condition.

From the external injury to the internal injury, Amler's eyebrows never loosened. Instead, they shrank tighter and tighter, twisting into two black knots.

When he came out after cleaning and bandaging Yan Qing's wound, the deep frown on his face made everyone's heart tighten.

Qin Mang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then asked in a low voice with a dry throat: "Clear her..."

The old general, who was invincible and fearless on the battlefield, actually became frightened when he asked about his granddaughter's condition and did not even dare to tell the whole question.

Looking at Qin Mang's half-white hair, Amler closed his slightly open mouth again. After a while, he relaxed his brows and said to Qin Mang: "With the holy medicine protecting the vitality, nothing big will happen. It's just necessary."

Rest more. In addition, trauma is not easy to heal in such weather, and continuing to travel will worsen the condition, so you need to stay in the wilderness for a few days."

After hearing this, Qin Mang breathed a sigh of relief, and his old voice became more energetic again, "This is not a problem, I will arrange it."

After saying that, Qin Mang glanced at the tent where Yan Qing was, took a step forward, but after a pause, turned to the other side.

Camping in the wilderness is not as simple as Qin Mang said.

It is easy to drive the stakes of the camping tent into the fluffy snow, but it is very difficult to drive the stakes into the frozen soil to fix them and prevent them from being blown away by the wind and snow, which is a great test of skill and strength.

Beware of nocturnal beasts and people who may sneak up on you.

A simple fence was built around the camp, which took a whole day.

At night, Yan Zhongqi sat by the bonfire and kept vigil, listening to the sound of wind and snow outside the shed, and stirring the coals in the fire pit from time to time.

The silent night was broken by the sound of feet stepping on the snow. Yan Zhongqi raised his sword and quietly walked to the edge of the tent. He opened a small corner and looked out, and saw several dark figures sneaking into the camp.
