Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Three: Everyone’s Frightened Hearts Are Shocked
The masculine men were so frightened by this figure that even the night looked gloomy.
Hu Jinyu looked back for a moment, always feeling that this outline was somewhat familiar, with an unusual straightness and toughness.
He is very good at remembering people. As long as he takes a look at someone who has been to the shopping mall, he will recognize them no matter how long they come back. The shadow is so blurry now that he still feels familiar, and he thinks about it as he walks.
, then turned back to look at Song Huiyue.
Song Huiyue looked calm. When she saw Hu Jinyu turning back to look at her, she turned her head and met Hu Jinyu's gaze: "Is there something wrong, little master?"
Hu Jinyu listened to her talk, speaking like a little master, but if she looked carefully, she felt that there was an aura in her tone that she had been used to giving orders since she was a child, which made people have to answer her words.
"That man," he turned around and pointed at the shadow in the distance, "is he your brother?"
All eyes turned to Song Huiyue in an instant.
Song Huiyue nodded coldly.
This nod gave all the men accompanying him a chill, and even Song Huiyue became a ghost-like person, quite difficult to mess with.
At this time, the men all thought that Yin Xiao was worried about Song Huiyue and wanted to escort him for a while, but Hu Jinyu suddenly asked: "Did he kill Lao Pan?"
Song Huiyue didn't nod, but she didn't shake her head either. She just glanced back thoughtfully.
The already quiet team fell into a dead silence. Song Huiyue's gaze shot out from her big eyes, which were clusters of calm cold light. Wherever her gaze went, the standing men and horses silently took a step back.
They remembered the over-the-top joke and secretly wondered if they had ever said anything unpleasant.
Hu Jinyu looked at the black shadow and thought that the old man might have missed it this time.
They only knew that Song Huiyue was short of money, but at the same time very courageous. She was a soldier, and the man who always picked her up and off was a soldier.
They peeked a little deeper through her kind face, imagining her as someone who could be lured, manipulated, and controlled. But they didn't expect that she was a deep pool with no bottom, both her and her followers.
A cruel wolf cub who kills without blinking an eye.
Lao Pan was killed miserably by a knife just for his quick talk. If this young lady accidentally died in Xia Kingdom, would her tail bring blood to the Hu family?
Hu Jinyu thought so. This tail had this ability and this scheming ability - it was so unpredictable to be able to hide for so long, kill them with one blow, leave no trace, and follow behind them calmly.
He also thought that by killing Lao Pan, this kid was not only teaching the rude Lao Pan a lesson, but also trying to scare him into letting them bring Song Huiyue back safely.
His mind went back and forth between Song Huiyue and Yinxiao several times, but in the end he didn't come to any useful conclusion, so he stopped talking and just walked away with his head down.
Even though Song Huiyue put on an honest look, the others did not dare to act rashly and avoided her like snakes and scorpions. After setting off again, they all kept their mouths shut and kept some distance away from Song Huiyue, and turned back frequently to take a look.
Is Yin Xiao still there?
Yin Xiao did not follow them all the time. When the sky became dim, he disappeared. After he disappeared, this oppression gradually disappeared.
From Dingzhou to Daizhou, it was a wilderness at first. All the weeds died, leaving only rough roots half buried and half exposed. The horses ran very fast. Then there were mountain roads, which became rugged. The horses shuttled among them, and the speed became faster.
very slow.
After entering the mountain, the forest blocked the raging wind, but the snow was heavier and the water vapor became more abundant. The treetops in the mountain forest were covered with ice particles, and even the hot air condensed in the air.
Wolves are skinny in the cold winter, wandering around with hungry mouths. They are not selective about what they eat. Earth dragons, rats, rabbits, and even corpses when hungry, but nothing of flesh and blood can escape their fangs.
People and horses were a big meal, and they poured into the forest, making the hungry wolves restless. They stared at them from a distance and came in to surround them. They didn't expect that the people who came were more vicious than them. After killing two wolves in a row,
, the wolves retreated, but did not leave, but followed from a distance.
As long as they turned around, they could see the fierce light in the wolf's eyes.
Anyone who has walked this road has seen wolves, and Hu Jinyu is obviously familiar with them, but seeing the wolves getting bigger and bigger, I still feel a little scared.
Like a rare drought, this winter is also unusually cold, and the number of wolves is far greater than before.
After walking for almost two hours, the sky finally brightened. Everyone's legs and hands were all stiff and unable to move. The wolves were still following at a close distance. Some wolves who couldn't restrain themselves rushed forward and were killed with knives.
Down.
Hu Jinyu kept riding forward, urging everyone to follow, and finally reached the first resting place.
There are rocks on three sides here, which can protect you from the wind and snow.
Everyone got off their horses with inflexible hands and feet, lit a fire, took out the frozen cooking cakes, and planned to bake two to satisfy their hunger. Butler Wu went to get the dried meat from the package. When he came back, he narrowed his eyes and bent down.
Look at the pile of things at the col.
He had bad eyesight, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly turned around and asked a guard beside him: "That is..."
The guard took a look and whispered: "Don't look at it, it's nothing."
There was a withered skeleton lying in the mountain col. The skin and flesh had all rotted away, leaving only a skeleton lying half hidden and half exposed in the mud.
Everyone glanced at the words and then turned away.
Because of the appearance of the white bones, everyone did not dare to take it lightly. They picked up branches to make the fire more prosperous. They also set up an iron pot on the fire, boiled the snow water, and threw the dried meat in to cook.
Butler Wu dug out the countless packages he brought and took out a coarse porcelain tea bowl and chopsticks. Song Huiyue took a bowl, broke the cooking cakes into pieces and put them in the bowl. As soon as he raised his head, Butler Wu scooped up a bowl.
A large spoonful of soup was put into her bowl.
Song Huiyue picked up the large bowl of solid broth-soaked cooking cakes and started to eat while it was still hot. She drank most of the soup, then put the bowl to her mouth and used her chopsticks to scratch the juicy cake into her mouth.
meat and cooking cakes, and then chewed hard with puffed cheeks.
She is not a big eater, so she was really hungry after this meal.
After swallowing, she picked up the bowl and took another big mouthful. After eating, she put down the bowl and chopsticks, and Butler Wu quickly took them over and scrubbed them.
He had quietly received Hu Jinyu's advice to serve this young lady as his master.
Others have no objections to this, wishing they could build a shrine on the spot and offer it to Song Huiyue to avoid any loss - her brother appears and disappears, who knows if he is still there. If Song Huiyue breaks his skin, he will.
Not to blame?
After a full meal, we arranged to take turns on duty, and everyone fell asleep, just waiting for nightfall to set off again.
After traveling at night and staying overnight in this way, by the time we arrived in Huaizhou, everyone had lost a lot of weight.
The mountains in Huaizhou are getting taller and taller, the weather is getting colder, and there is a thick layer of snow on the ground. After everyone has been repairing for a day, Hu Jinyu and Song Huiyue explain the people they meet and some things that need to be paid attention to in the Xia Kingdom.
