(Two in one, I returned to the countryside, sorry for the late update.) That night, after dinner, Lin Jue called Lin Hu to his room, polished ink and paper, wrote a letter and gave it to him, and Lin Hu gave detailed instructions. Lin Hu went back to his room and slept. He got up in the middle of the night, unloaded the horses that were pulling the cart, and rode out of the town to the north overnight. This scene was seen by the inn clerk. , The innkeeper came to Lin Jue early the next morning to ask about the situation. Lin Jue told him that he had a friend in Ruzhou and had no time to visit him this time, so he ordered the servant to send him a letter.
The shopkeeper felt relieved and secretly told Lin Jue that if he wanted to go into the city, he could not take the Ruzhou road. He had to take the official road to the east of the town and go around Xiangcheng and then go north. It would be safer because of the Funiu Mountain. Bandits are not easy to mess with. Lin Jue pretended to be frightened and surprised, regretting staying here repeatedly, complaining that he had to wait here for the boy to come back. The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and walked away, thinking: This is it People who dare to run around doing business must have lost their minds. Sooner or later, they will be killed by the robbers.
As the day passed, Lin Jue was sitting on pins and needles in the inn, always feeling uneasy. Shen Tan's escort convoy would set off two days after him, which meant that they would arrive here two or three days later. The timing of the action was actually very short. Harsh, the best result is that on the night Shen Tan and the others arrive, Gao Muqing and the others arrive just in time to get the news, and then take action that night. Because Shen Tan's people will only stay for one night, and it is impossible to delay a day for no reason. Moreover, The time to do it can only be at night. If you do it during the day, it will be full of flaws and difficult to operate. As for Gao Muqing and others, they cannot stay outside the mountain for too long. Every moment they stay, there is a risk of revealing their identity. There is a danger of being discovered and reported to several places where officers and soldiers are stationed, and thus being besieged here.
What makes Lin Jue anxious is that these are beyond his control. Because it is impossible to contact Gao Muqing for communication beforehand, Lin Jue doesn't even know if Gao Muqing's people can come here. There is no way to control the time and date of their arrival. There is no way to guarantee that this matter can be truly successful. Lin Jue hates this feeling of not being able to control the progress of things. He likes that everything is within his control, so that things can be made step by step. Develop according to your own plan. But obviously, this is a delusion.
After a torturous night, Lin Jue woke up to the extreme cold in the early morning of the next day. When he opened his eyes, the brazier in the room had long been extinguished, and the room was as cold as an ice cellar. The window paper was covered with snow, and Lin Jue thought he was sleeping. It was too much, and I was wondering why Lu Wu didn't come to wake me up. I muttered that the little girl was too tired and had overslept.
However, when he got up and knocked on the door, he was stunned and speechless. He saw that in the courtyard of the guest room in front of him, there was a thick layer of pavement on top of the tiles, branches and flower beds. Snow. One night, quietly, it snowed heavily.
Lin Jue's heart sank. This was another thing that he least wanted to see and couldn't control. It snowed heavily. This was the last thing that should happen. Although he knew that at this time of year, it could happen anytime, anywhere. It was snowing. But Lin Jue still prayed that the heavy snow would come again after the plan was completed. However, God did not fulfill his wishes and the snow fell.
Although the snow scene is beautiful, in Lin Jue's opinion, it is a big trouble. This snow will greatly increase the difficulty of completing this plan. It will not only delay the arrival of Shen Tan and others, but also delay Gao Muqing and others Arrival time. Moreover, Lin Jue is even more worried that the heavy snow will prevent Xiaohu from reaching Luoyan Valley smoothly. If something happens to Xiaohu on the way, then the whole plan will be ruined before it even begins. .
…
Among the mountains covered with thick snow, Lin Hu's small figure was walking hard on the snow. The night before, he set out from the small town to Luoyan Valley on the east side of Funiu Mountain. The young master solemnly explained before leaving For this trip, he must find Master Gao Dazhao and the others within two days and deliver his letter to Master Gao Dazhao. He must complete the task assigned by the young master.
Originally, Lin Jue told Lin Hu that he wanted to go to Luoyan Valley in person, and asked Lin Hu to accompany Lu Wu to wait in the town. But Lin Hu insisted on making this trip for the young master, because Lin Hu believed that this was what he should do for him. What Young Master did. Lin Hu admired Lin Jue very much. When Lin Hu came to Lin Jue a year ago, he was still a somewhat ignorant young man. But soon after, he regarded Young Master and Lu Wu as one family. As a person, Lin Hu, an ignorant young man, had some strange thoughts in his mind.
He saw the young master being bullied in the Lin family. He watched how the young master repaired the arrogant Lin Quan. In Lin Hu's view, this was unimaginable. Young Master Lin Quan of the third room had been avoiding him before. However, the young master was not afraid and dared to do something to him. And he was fully involved in that matter. When he did it, Lin Hu didn’t understand why the young master did this. But when Lin Quan was kicked out of the Lin family, Lin Hu suddenly understood that all these methods were for the final result.
That's all. What the young master did later made Lin Hu even more incredible. Although few people knew about his break into the bandits' lair on Guishan Island, privately Lin Hu and Lu Wu already knew the whole story. The pirates came In retaliation, the young master killed people on the mountain road, and he witnessed the whole process. After that, the young master went to suppress the bandits, and forcibly wiped out Hai Dongqing, whose name the people in Hangzhou did not even dare to mention. Not only that, the young master could also write poems, Also take the exam to understand Yuan.
…
…
Lin Hu has seen all these things, and his admiration for the young master in his heart is simply indescribable. In his opinion, the young master is as great as a god, and he should also become a person like Mr. Xiang. Zhiyong Have the best of both worlds, fearless of hardships and dangers.
But Lin Hu also understood that he could not become a person like the young master, but at least he could do something for the young master. Being able to participate in the things that the young master did was something to be proud of. Those things in the past might have happened to him by himself. I can't help, but I must help now.
This fourteen-year-old boy has been with Lin Jue for more than a year, and he is actually very different from before. During this year, his mental growth has already exceeded that of any boy of the same age.
Lin Hu originally chose to walk in the middle of the night, in order to prevent others from discovering his traces and interrogating him, and exposed his secret. But soon he found that it would waste too much time. But when riding a horse on the official road during the day, Lin Hu was worried that he would be It was discovered by the patrolling officers and soldiers. So he decided to travel day and night, but left the official road and took the country trail.
In this way, the difficulty of the road increased, but it was much safer. He was not worried about taking the wrong road. After all, Funiu Mountain was right ahead, and it was always good to go in that direction. Just like that, one day later, Lin
The tiger finally reached the foot of a mountain southeast of Funiu Mountain.
Lin Hu was very tired, but he only rested for a short while and then decided to continue on his way. According to Lin Jue's instructions, he should walk north along the east road outside the mountain, go to the east of Luoyan Valley and then enter the mountain. But Lin Jue
Tiger rode his horse in the dark for less than an hour before he was blocked by a checkpoint in front of him. It was a checkpoint set up by officers and soldiers to check all people coming out of the valley, and it was also a checkpoint to prevent bandits from attacking outside.
Outposts and alarm stations.
Lin Hu knew that he would definitely not be able to pass smoothly. With his age and status, riding a tall horse in such a place must be extremely suspicious. Moreover, he still had the letter from the young master on him. Then
The letter contains the details of the plan that the young master told the leader of Gao Dazhao. These things were not fully described orally. This is something that must be handed over to the master of Gao Dazhao. If it is searched and found out, everything will be lost. If it is thrown away, it will be seen.
The leader of Gao Dazhao also lost his credentials. So Lin Hu made a quick decision and abandoned the road on the mountain side, directly inserted into the mountain from here, and walked through the forest. He completely forgot what the young master told him, never walk in the mountains after dark.
Lin Hu paid the price for his bold but ignorant decision. He overestimated his own abilities and underestimated the power of the mountains of Funiu Mountain.
At the beginning, we followed the ravine into the valley and encountered no great difficulty when walking under the tree line. Although the mountain forest was pitch black and the roars of wild beasts in the forest were quite scary, a strong-blooded young man
, but he was not afraid of these. Especially when he first entered the mountains, the road in the valley was quite flat and could even be ridden on horseback, which made him feel that he had made a wise decision.
But not long after, he went deep into the mountains and soon encountered difficulties. First of all, he found that the road under his feet became increasingly difficult to walk. The flat valleys turned into rugged rocks. From time to time, there were cliffs and dense forests.
If the road is blocked, the horse cannot ride. You can only lead the horse and move forward step by step with the help of the weak light. If you are not careful, you may fall through the air or plunge into the dark thorns.
Go in.
That's all. Something more terrible than the difficulty of traveling on the road happened. He got lost. The mountains were pitch black at night, and the surrounding peaks all looked the same. The valleys circled back and forth, and after circling for a while, Lin Hu lost his way.
He lost his sense of direction. He knew that he was heading north, but he lost his reference object and did not know where north was. He wanted to look at the stars in the sky to identify the direction, but found that the sky was dark and there was no starlight at all. In this kind of situation
Under the circumstances, Lin Hu was confused.
However, Lin Hu quickly found a way to deal with it. An hour later, when he stopped to take a breath and heard the roaring sound of the dense forest on the surrounding mountain peaks, he suddenly remembered something. This season is the time when wind blows.
It's the north wind. In that case, doesn't walking into the wind mean walking towards the north? There's nothing wrong with that. Thinking of this, Lin Hu was extremely excited. But he forgot one thing, this was in the mountains, and the wind was all over the place.
Walking through the valley, the direction was elusive. Soon, the method he found to identify the direction plunged him into greater confusion.
In a place where a valley crisscrossed the valley, he faced two intersecting valleys, and there was a cold wind blowing in the valley. He was completely confused.
The weather was frighteningly cold, but in this case, Lin Hu was actually covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked. In the dark night, among the vast mountains, a young man stood exhausted in the valley, not knowing where to go.
But it is impossible to stop. The young master said that he must arrive at Luoyan Valley within two days, otherwise the big thing will be ruined. I volunteered to do this, how could I ruin the young master's big thing? Then what will the young master do in the future?
Believe in yourself. Lin Hu gritted his teeth, chose a valley and walked in. At this time, it was no longer reason that controlled his actions, but an intuition. The best way at this time was to immediately find a place to rest and wait for dawn, but this
The stubborn young man who wanted to prove himself chose to continue walking.
However, a heavy snowfall fell in the dark night. As Lin Hu walked, he found that the surroundings were already white. The snow was so heavy that the stones, grass, woods, and hillsides were already covered in snow as he struggled to move forward.
Covered by heavy snow. The surrounding fields are covered with white snow, which makes it even more difficult to move forward. Because the snow covers the ground, all dangerous places are covered. You think it is a safe place, but in fact there is a crack or a small hole underneath.
On a small cliff, Lin Hu was crawling and rolling in the snow. He fell countless times and suffered countless injuries all over his body. He was in excruciating pain.
The most disastrous time came at dawn. The exhausted horse he was leading missed a step and slid directly onto the rocks under the snow slope. Lin Hu was pulled by the reins and fell. Fortunately,
He fell on the horse that had fallen to death and saved his life. However, one of his legs was broken by the horse's corpse. The heavy horse corpse pressed one of his legs, making him unable to move. At first
The temperature of the horse's body could still keep him warm, but soon, the horse's body became stiff with the cold, and the falling snow covered Lin Hu, who could not move, and the horse together.
The young man felt unspeakable regret and self-blame. He realized that he was probably going to die in this barren mountain. He scolded himself for being too stupid for wandering into the mountains at night and ending up like this. Did he regret that he should not have done so?
Listening to the young master, it’s okay to die here now, and even the young master’s important events have been delayed. I thought that I would become an omnipotent person like the young master, but in fact I can’t do anything. Realizing this, let
The young man felt even more sad.
His sweat-soaked body was getting colder and stiffer. Although he tried his best to shake off the fallen snow, there was no one between the open valley in front of him and the dense forest of white-capped peaks in the distance. In such a mountainous wilderness, there was no one at all.
Possibility of rescue.
What was even more frightening was that not long after, the howling in the snow made the forest tiger's hair stand on end. A few wolves may have smelled the bloody smell of the dead horses. They rushed out of the mountain forest, crossed the open valley on their haunches, and headed toward the forest tiger.
He rushed here quickly.
Lin Hu cried. This young man rarely cried. He hated cowards who shed tears, but at this moment, he couldn't help crying. He thought he would freeze to death here, but now he knew that he was going to be killed by a wolf.
Chew it into pieces and eat it in your stomach. Even the corpse cannot be preserved after death. The worst thing in the world is probably this. In the future, your father, mother, and young master will not even know that you are dead, because there will be no bones left. The young master is afraid of returning
I thought I had escaped.
Seven or eight wild wolves approached, and they smelled the bloody smell of the fallen horse. But when they got closer, they found a human sitting there staring at them. The wolves were startled, but they were very They soon discovered that the human was not a threat, because he was going to die. They smelled the dying smell of the human. For the leading wolf, today's luck was really good, and he could eat human flesh. These few During the month, the humans in the valley were fighting each other, killing many of them, and it was also allowed to taste the taste of human flesh. Human flesh tasted very delicious, and the wolf missed that taste. Now that there is a human here, how can he It was time to taste the delicious taste of human flesh. The head wolf's eyes glowed green, he looked up to the sky and howled, and seven or eight wolves rushed towards the forest tiger.
Lin Hu, who was unable to move, saw the ferocious eyes and sharp fangs of the wolves. He was helpless and closed his eyes in pain to welcome the bites of the wolves.
The stench from the wolf's mouth and the fishy smell on its fur rushed into his nostrils. Lin Hu could even feel the hot breath from the wolf's mouth and nose on his face. Everything seemed inevitable.
However, at this moment, a strange noise came from the forest on the side. Several wolves raised their ears and looked nervously towards the place where the sound came from. The next moment, they scattered and ran away. Lin Lin Tiger struggled to open his eyes, and his eyes blurred by the ice and snow could vaguely see figures running on the snow, as well as the sound of sharp objects flying out of the air. The howl of an injured wolf came from the snow, and a wolf flew from a distance. Something hit.
Lin Hu felt excited. He wanted to shout loudly and wave, to shout to the black figures running in the distance, to attract their attention. However, he could not make a sound and could not move a finger. His whole body was numb. Already stiff.
"Hey, I made the shot. I made the shot. What a lucky shot."
"Brother Zhang, you are so powerful. This spear is so accurate."
"What's this? It's a pity that I only killed one, and the rest ran up the opposite hillside. Damn it, the spear darts don't work. If you have a crossbow in hand, you can at least kill four or five, and everyone will be safe." Another meal of wild wolf meat."
"Isn't that right? But it's not bad. It's good to kill one. Just run to the opposite hillside. We can't chase it. It's not our territory and it's very dangerous. Brother Zhang, we'd better take him with us quickly. The wild wolf returns. After arriving at the village, peel off the wolf skin and offer it to the village master. It would also be good to make a big wolf skin chair for the village master. The village master must be very happy."
"Hahaha, you're right. It's a good idea to make a wolf-skin chair for the leader of the village. By the way, what attracted these wild wolves just now? Didn't they smell that we were following behind? Let's go together. Look. Look, maybe a wild deer has been captured by them, then we have taken a big advantage, haha, we have another meal of venison."
"..."
The voices of a group of people reached Lin Hu's ears vaguely, but Lin Hu could no longer hold on. He tilted his head and lost track of who was going on.
