A team of more than a dozen riders left Qinzhou in a low-key manner to the northwest, circled the foot of the bare eastern slope of Longshan Mountain, crossed the border between the two countries, and then turned west. A few days later, they arrived at the desolate Gobi southwest of Liangzhou.
Looking from a distance, the Gobi wilderness as far as the eye can see shows no sign of human habitation. Thin snow that has not yet melted covers the wilderness. The northwest wind blows in the face like a knife, making it difficult for people to move.
On the afternoon of the day we set foot on the wilderness, dark clouds gathered in the sky. Soon, hail and heavy snow fell, and the entire wilderness suddenly fell into a vast expanse of white. When the inn was being built years ago, the people who passed by the place had left their mark.
After getting off the simple road, Su Jin, Yeli Duanyun and others followed such footsteps, but as soon as the snow and hail fell, the entire wasteland soon became a vast expanse of white, and it was impossible to discern the direction.
Not to mention seeing traces.
Su Jin cursed his mother anxiously. He should have been able to reach the first inn forty miles away by night, but under the current situation, he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, let alone reach the inn. Su Jin looked at
Yeli Duanyun was hunched over on his horse, looking pitiful as he was hit by the snow, hail and cold wind. He decided to camp on the spot to take shelter from the wind and snow, and asked Yeli Duanyun for advice. Yeli Duanyun had already lost his mind and just let it go.
Su Jin ordered.[
Su Jin looked around and saw a hill not far away. Several short trees were shaking in the wind and snow. Su Jin ordered him to quickly rush to the south side of the hill to take shelter from the wind.
Everyone got off their horses and trotted all the way, and finally arrived at the south side of the hill. But when they got there, they were disappointed. The hill was too small to block the wind and snow, but there was a depression that seemed to be a cave; a soldier
He stretched out his hand to push aside the weeds at the entrance of the hole, looked inside, and suddenly screamed and took a few steps back to sit on the snow.
"What's the matter?" Su Jin asked.
"There...is something inside, with green eyes, very scary." The soldier stammered.
Su Jin was startled and heard Yeli Duanyun say: "It's a wild wolf. There are wild wolf caves in most of the hills in the wilderness."
Su Jin said: "This cave entrance can keep out the wind and rain. Maybe we should use their territory. Come and shoot it with a bow and arrow. Let's roast wild wolf meat at night."
Yeli Duanyun said: "Just drive it away. To it, we are uninvited guests. Unless the wind and snow are too heavy, we should not disturb it."
Su Jin glanced at Yeli Duanyun in surprise. Unexpectedly, this crazy woman had a kind heart. According to Yeli Duanyun's richness, the soldiers shouted and stabbed the end of the spear into the entrance of the cave randomly, and the cave screamed.
It roared repeatedly, and soon a huge wolf rushed out of the cave and disappeared into the wind and snow, causing the war horses to jump wildly in shock.
Everyone struggled for a long time, but there was movement in the cave. It seemed that only this lone wolf and other wild beasts lived in this cave. Su Jin repeatedly ordered people to dig along the loose soil at the entrance of the cave with swords, and soon expanded the entrance of the cave.
When they were about ten feet square, they ordered people to break off small branches and build a roof over the entrance of the cave, spreading it with long grass, so that they could finally escape the wind and snow.
Everyone lit up a big fire at the entrance of the cave and sat around the bonfire. They saw that the outside was completely white, and the wind and snow not only did not stop, but were getting worse and worse, they all looked outside blankly, secretly feeling worried.
The fur on Yeli Duanyun's body was covered with snow, and under the bonfire at this moment, white air was steaming, as if a god had descended to earth, and his whole body was glowing white; but Su Jin found that Yeli Duanyun's expression was not quite right, although
It's red, but red is very scary.
Yeli Duanyun, who was huddled by the cave wall, had her hands and feet trembling slightly, and her whole body was trembling slightly. Su Jin reached out and touched her forehead, and was startled. Her forehead was as hot as charcoal, and she was obviously burning.
She had a high fever; I touched her little hand again, but it was cold and not warm at all.
Su Jin knew something was wrong. Being sick at this time was a disaster, and he was also careless. Yeli Duanyun should have followed in a carriage on such a rugged road. It was too much for a normal man in the extremely cold northwest, let alone a wild man.
A weak woman like Li Duanyun came from the official road of Huizhou, and the weather was sunny and windy a few days ago. How could she endure the strong wind and heavy snow now?
Su Jin quickly asked everyone if they had any medicine with them. Where did the followers go out with medicine? If they did, they would have to bring some gold medicine to protect themselves from sword wounds. Yeli Duanyun was obviously affected by the cold.
A gust of cold wind blew diagonally, causing the flames of the campfire to burst. Yeli Duanyun shivered even more violently, and the red color on his face became more vivid. Su Jin knew that something would happen if he didn't take measures, and he would suffer from high fever.
The person was dead, and if he didn't rescue him in time, his brain would at least be burned out. Su Jin ordered his people to quickly cut some long grass under the snow and spread it deep inside the relatively spacious cave; because the depth was full of peculiar smell, everyone just now
He nested in the open area at the entrance of the cave and did not enter the cave.
Su Jin laid Yeli Duanyun down on the hay, moved the fire and lit a small bonfire in the cave. At the same time, he picked up the cloth covering his face and wrapped it with a pack of snow and applied it to Yeli Duanyun's forehead.
It was a simple fever-reducing method learned by later generations; the snow was quickly melted by Yeli Duanyun's body temperature. After changing several packs of snow in succession, the symptoms seemed to be slightly milder, but Yeli Duanyun's lips had gradually become dry and white.
Feeling dehydrated.
Su Jin hurriedly ordered someone to boil some hot water on the bonfire outside. When the water cooled down a little, he lifted her up and fed her to drink. Yeli Duanyun clenched his teeth, and the water flowed down his face, and he couldn't drink it.
Take half a mouthful.
Su Jin was anxiously circling around, and could only grit his teeth and whisper in Yeli Duanyun's ear: "Miss Yeli, I'm sorry. If you can't get into the water, your life will be in danger, and there's nothing I can do about it."
After that, he held Yeli Duanyun's head in his arms, drank a large amount of water, and slowly passed it in mouth to mouth. Yeli Duanyun was still conscious, but after taking a sip, he felt his throat was dry and smoking.
My eyes and mouth seemed to be moistened by nectar, and I suddenly felt much more comfortable. I opened my mouth and seemed to want to drink.[
Su Jin took another sip and entered her mouth. Yeli Duanyun was so hungry and thirsty that he sucked hard. After drinking all the water in Su Jin's mouth, his tongue was almost sucked out. Su Jin actually blushed.
After feeding him seven or eight sips of water, Yeli Duanyun finally felt comfortable drinking. After Su Jin changed a few packs of snow bags, Yeli Duanyun's high fever gradually subsided and he woke up.
Su Jinxi said: "You are awake, you scared me to death."

Yeli Duanyun groaned: "What's wrong with me?"
Su Jin said: "Maybe you were hit by the cold. The high fever just now didn't go away and you were confused. I helped you put snow on your forehead to cool down, and fed you a lot of water, and then you got better. Thank God, but it's dangerous."
Yeli Duanyun said gratefully: "Thank you for taking care of me. Why did I fall ill? What a terrible weather. Huh? Why is your mouth bleeding?"
Su Jin was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe it. Sure enough, the back of his hand was red, but it was not blood, but the lipstick stained when he fed water just now.
Yeli Duanyun also understood that it was not blood stains. After thinking for a moment, he understood. He immediately reached out with anger and gave Su Jin a big mouth. Fortunately, with all his strength, it seemed as if he reached out and touched Su Jin's face.
"You shameless person, what did you do to me? Taking advantage of others' danger, are you still not a human being?" Yeli Duanyun gasped excitedly.
Su Jin quickly waved her hands and winked and said: "My aunt, can you please stop talking nonsense? How can outsiders tell the difference if they hear me?"
"You dare to do it but you are afraid that people will hear you. You are a disgraceful person and an adulterer!"
Su Jin hurriedly reached out and covered Yeli Duanyun's mouth and said: "Don't scream, I can't help it. Just now you closed your mouth so tightly that no water could come in. I was afraid that your body would be dehydrated and your brain would be burned, so I did it out of desperation."
Yes, if I had known this, I should have chosen someone from among the companions outside to feed you, but my good intentions were treated as nothing more than a donkey's liver and lungs."
Yeli Duanyun was startled. Fortunately, Su Jin didn't ask anyone to feed him water mouth-to-mouth. To take advantage of others...it would be better to take advantage of the kid in front of him. Such thoughts in his heart scared Yeli Duanyun.
For a moment, I realized that I didn't really blame this man for taking the opportunity to kiss me. Instead, I felt a little secretly happy in my heart.
Su Jin let go of Ye Li Duanyun's mouth and said: "Okay, you need to rest now. Just close your eyes and rest for a while. The wind and snow outside are getting worse. I will go out and think of a solution with my followers. If this continues, we will
Trapped here."
Yeli Duanyun didn't say anything, and his body was strong. He just let Su Jin hold him and lay him on the hay beside the fire. He covered himself with the dry cloak, turned around and left.
"Hey!" Yeli Duanyun suddenly called out softly.
Su Jin turned around and said, "What's wrong?"
"Thank you... so much!" Yeli Duanyun said softly: "Fortunately, you are here."
Su Jin grinned and said, "Well, you would have turned into a fool without me, but there's no need to thank you. We are business partners, and I'm still making money by doing business with you."
Yeli Duanyun spat, turned his head and closed his eyes to rest.
