Helan Xin could only hear the sound of swords under the mountain, and
soon there was no sound. She didn't care about so much, she just used
her hands and feet together, desperately climbing up the mountain. The
dense woods on the mountain almost couldn't penetrate at all, Helan felt
that the temperature around her was gradually getting cooler, and she
knew that the sun had set, and she didn't know the direction at this
time, so she had to climb to the top with all her strength. At first,
there were many poisonous snakes and hedgehog monsters in the woods, and
Helan Xin had to half-close her eyes, not daring to look behind her or
overhead. After walking for seven or eight hours, the woods gradually
thinned out, the tree species were mainly pines, the road was more open,
and the moonlight was sprinkled ahead, Helan saw hope.
"It's close to the ridge. I just have to walk along the ridge, and when
I see a road, I will go down the mountain, and there will be people
here. Helan muttered to herself to cheer herself up.
By sunrise the next day, Helan had already walked for a day and a
night. The wind on the ridge gradually increased, and Helan Xin's small
body could only move forward step by step against the strong wind on the
ridge in the morning. After walking for another two or three hours, the
ridge was windy, Helan was cold, hungry and sleepy, she was in a daze
and saw a man in front of her, this person was carrying a big sword on
his back, and his right hand held the short sword on his waist, this
person was not Yang Feng and who was it!?
"Uncle Shi, save my Master!" Helan stumbled towards Yang Feng, but Yang
Feng was getting farther and farther away from her. Helan plucked up
the last bit of strength left and ran, and after a while, she ran to
Yang Feng, she reached forward and grabbed it, only to feel that her
hands were empty, but her feet were empty, and the whole person rolled
down the cliff.
...
Helan Xin slowly opened her eyes, only to feel a wave of nausea, so she
hurriedly turned over and vomited. It was only then that she looked
around and found herself in a small earthen hut, the beams of the roof
evidently old and somewhat rotten, and herself on top of an earthen
kang. Helan Xin slowly got up, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his
left wrist, as if it was broken, and saw that he had changed into a
coarse linen coat from a farmer, but he could also feel the wounds all
over his body. Helan limped out of the door and saw an old woman washing
her original clothes in the yard.
"Oops! Girl, you wake up, go and lie down, you are wounded, I have some
herbs for bruises in this house, and the master is grinding, and I will
bring them to your wound and apply it. "
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm going to leave now! My father
must be leading someone to look for me at this time, and I'm going to
find him. "
The old woman was shocked, "Where is your father now?" "
"My father is the general of Xunhua Mansion, I had a conflict with my
father, and I ran out, thank you for saving the old woman, if the old
woman can send me to Xunhua Mansion, my father has a lot of gold and
silver treasures for you. Now, please give me back my ring. "
This village woman was already frightened, looking at this girl's dress
and temperament, she must not be a farmer and herdsman. So he quickly
took out the ring of the head and returned Helan Xin. Helan Xin
hurriedly took the ring, her right hand was also wet, and it was really
worrying to say this panic.
"Uh... Girl, miss, it takes nearly 200 miles to get to Xunhua here,
and it takes a day to ride a horse. Besides, the peasant woman had no
horse ... at home, so she had to take the girl with her in a donkey
cart, but it would take several days. "
Helan Xin had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house and
take his sword. "Then the donkey cart, please take this girl with you."
After a while, the old woman's man also returned, and when he heard the
old woman say that this girl was actually the general's daughter, he
was also startled, and hurriedly packed up the donkey cart. This donkey
cart was originally used by the farmer to collect the field and pull
dung, the old man was worried that the girl's family was pampered, so he
took out the quilt that the family only covered once every New Year,
although this quilt had been eaten by rats in many places, but it was
also a good job, and it was clean. The old man laid out the donkey cart,
placed Helan Xin to sit down, and set off with four or five days of dry
grain.
Along the way, the two had no money to stay, and when the cool breeze
blew at night, their hands and feet were biting cold. Both of them had
to sleep in the donkey cart, and the old man slept next to Helan Xin,
who was extremely uncomfortable, but she was too embarrassed to speak.
The only thing she ate was multigrain buns, Helan broke some and put
them in her mouth and chewed them, but they were all chewed into a paste
and it was still difficult to swallow, and she realized what kind of
fairy life she was living in Mount Emei. Two days later, Helan Xin found
that the road she had taken gradually became familiar, so she estimated
the distance to Xunhua City in her heart. When there were only twenty
or thirty miles left in the journey, Helan thought to herself that
Xunhua City must be full of eyeliner at this time, and she had to get
off here. Helan wanted to stop the old man and say something of thanks,
and then let him put himself down, but he never dared to speak, so he
jumped out of the car in a hurry, and ran in the direction of the city
with his sword.
Helan Xin ran straight until it was dark, only to see a row of tents
set up in front of him, so he had the courage to walk in, and there was a
family in the tent, who were around the fire to roast the fire, but saw
such a little girl walking in. "You... Hello, I'm looking for
Phuntsok and Wangdui. Do you know where their home is? Although the
family is not particularly familiar with Chinese, they probably
understand it when they hear the two names. The man walked out of the
tent and pointed in the direction of the road, Helan Xin also understood
what the man meant, bowed to the man again and again, and then
hurriedly ran in the direction the man pointed.
After a while, he really saw a tent, which was lit with firelight,
Helan Xin pushed open the tent, only to see Niu Da Niu Er holding two
leg of mutton and gnawing, and Grandma sitting on the side chanting.
"You are, ah, the apprentice of the head of Feng Da." "Have you been
beaten, why are your faces blue and purple?" "What's wrong with your
hand, it's swollen like this." Niu Da Niu Er saw Helan Xin coming and
hurriedly cared, Helan Xin just didn't hear it, and his two little eyes
stared at the leftover lamb leg meat that the two of them ate. The two
of them also agreed, hurriedly shaved off the flesh on the bones, and
served it to Helan Xin on a plate.
"I am a lay disciple of the Emei sect... You can't eat meat. Helan
Xin's face flushed, and she looked at the two of them embarrassedly. Niu
Da Niu and the two of them squeezed their eyebrows at each other, "What
kind of meat is this, senior sister, this is clearly it, ah, it is
clearly eggplant!" "Ah, yes, it's made of eggplant, and it's like meat!"
Helan Xin didn't eat a bite for almost a whole day, and she was already
dizzy from hunger, and she couldn't care about so much, so she grabbed
the meat on the plate and ate it in a big gulp.
The people of Xunhua Province are mainly the Northern Han people and
the Semu people, who mostly believe in Islam and are also good at
cooking mutton. Xunhua mutton is famous for its freshness, pay attention
to the original taste of the ingredients, that is, only use the
mountain spring water flowing under the snow mountain to cook mutton,
add salt, ginger and garlic, wolfberry, no longer add any auxiliary
materials, plus the mutton of the plateau is extremely delicious, there
is no peculiar smell, the mutton boiled out is like jade, although the
Xunhua mutton practice is simple and easy to learn, but leaving the
Xunhua surrounding, the same skill is difficult to make the same taste.
With the change of years and the migration of ethnic groups, this dish
has also become a delicacy of other ethnic groups such as Amdo Tibetans.
Helan Xin devoured it, and the image of a lady was gone, and Niu Da Niu
Er hurriedly poured a bowl of water and handed it to Helan Xin when he
saw this. The disciples of the Emei faction have been lay disciples of
the Buddhist family since they entered the Emei faction, and all the
prohibitions of the Buddhist family are also obeyed, so Helan Xin has
never eaten a mouthful of meat since he was a child, and today he
secretly ate mutton outside for the first time, but he didn't expect
that the things strictly forbidden by the master were actually so
beautiful...
When Helan Xin finished eating, the two of them couldn't hold back their curiosity and hurriedly asked Helan Xin what happened.
"On our way to Wudu, we were ambushed by Mongolia people, and the life
and death of the master, uncle, and ancestor were uncertain... "After
that, Helan cried in her heart.
Niu Da Niu and the two of them fought a cold war, "We almost wiped out
all the teeth of Lord Hu Xiang that day, and he didn't say that he had
accomplices." "That's right, it seems that the Emei faction still has
spies!" "And it's hidden deep enough!"
"What are you two muttering! Find a way to save my master! "
Niu Da Niu Er was also extremely embarrassed at this time, they did not
expect that the Mongolia would intercept and kill the head of the Emei
faction, and now they had to Qingxin and his two to pick up a life;
Secondly, whether Feng Xiangyue is alive now, and if so, where is she
now, these are all difficult problems for the two to solve. The two
looked embarrassed and looked at each other, indicating that there was
no way.
"Go find my uncle."
"Who is your uncle?"
"Still playing dumb! Yang Feng! "
The two were shocked again, and sighed that this little girl was still a
little clever. But Yang Feng doesn't know where he is now. So he looked
embarrassed and looked at each other.
"Yang Daxia... Well, he's not in Xunhua. "Yes, if he's in Xunhua, the two of us will definitely be able to see him."
Helan Xin cried again when she heard this, Niu Da Niu and two young
men, seeing the little girl crying, were also at a loss, so they had to
slap their thighs.
"Or ... Let's send you back to the Emei faction first. "
"It takes more than a month to go to Mount Emei here! When I arrived,
my master was dead in the Emei faction! After that, Helan cried again.
This can make the two of them embarrassed and uncomfortable, "Big
brother, what did you say the Mongolian intercepted and killed the head
of the Emei faction?" The Emei faction hasn't done anything to rebel
against the imperial court in recent years? "Where are we going to catch
a Mongolian soldier and torture him, don't we know?" "Come on, you can
ask from the mouth of the Mongolian soldiers, and you can also ask a
common person on the street." "Pull a populace on the street... Pull a
crowd on the street... Why don't we go to the various post inns in
the city to inquire about the suspicious people in the past, maybe we
can really find out where Yang Daxia is, he is strong in martial arts,
and he will be able to deal with this matter properly. "
The two ran into the city early in the morning, and went separately to
interrogate the inns one by one, until the two met at noon, and they
were already tired and sweating.
"Big brother, none of the inns I asked about were suspected of being
Yang Daxia, but it seemed that there were scattered Mongolia people
living in these inns the night before yesterday, and there were some
members of the Tibetan Sword Secret Sect." "Ah brother, I heard the same
as you!"
"Can you ask where these scattered Mongolia are going?" "I asked,
although they didn't go together, they all ended up at the North City
Gate." The two exchanged information and hurriedly drove out of the city
to go home, but when the two arrived, they saw Helan Xin sitting alone
in the tent in a daze.
"Little Senior Sister, we haven't heard about Yang Daxia's whereabouts,
but you master and we may know where to go!" Helan Xin's eyes lit up,
and she sat up suddenly.
"Hurry! Get the map! The two hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets
and found a map of the Northwest Province in sheepskin, and the map was
still in Mongolian. Here, this is Xunhua, and they go north to climb the
North Mountain Zhalong Ditch. "So, they really only have two
destinations!" "Yes, to the northwest is Hehuang, after Hehuang is to
Xining, to the northeast through Longzhi, and then to Taozhou,
Jincheng."
"Little Senior Sister! These Mongolian had stayed the night before, and
now we have to travel day and night, without a moment's rest, to catch
up with them. Helan Xin looked worried again, "But what if we catch up
with them, whether they are the enemies who killed my master or not for
the time being, even if they are, we can't beat them." "Yang Daxia is
kind to our tribe, and now is the time for us to repay him! Little
Senior Sister, don't say frustrating words, Master Feng must still be
alive, we are desperate to save her old man! "
"Don't be like this, my master is young!" Helan Xin's face turned from
worry to joy again. The two hurriedly prepared three good horses, and
asked the grandmother to convey the details to Tashi of the Xunhua Amdo
tribe, so that he could take the young descendants of the tribe to meet
him in the east and west.
Helan Xin listened to the instructions given by the two to her
grandmother, and seemed to understand the intentions of the two, so she
pulled the sleeves of the two and said, "I know that you are also
worried about the lack of manpower, I can ask the outer disciples of the
Emei faction in the city to send books to the nearby states and
counties, and let the disciples of the Emei faction come to help." "
"Listen to the little senior sister, your Emei faction is currently
complicated, the Mongolian traitors are probably not only Xunhua, our
first task now is to set out immediately and find out the whereabouts of
Feng Zhangmen, only by knowing where Feng Zhangmen is currently can we
think long-term."
"That's right, little sister, don't fill in the mess, Yang Daxia also
has to do a murderous job to have silver and two flowers, so the nearby
county capital, let's inquire about the head of the dragon snake on the
rivers and lakes, and we can know where he is." "It's no problem for him
to top twenty or thirty by himself, and when he finds Yang Daxia,
Master Feng will naturally be able to take it back, little senior
sister, don't worry!" Hearing that Yang Feng's whereabouts could be
found, Helan was overjoyed again.
Niu Da Niu and the two also hurriedly led the horses and filled them
with water bags and dry food. "Little Senior Sister, here to pursue the
Mongolian soldiers, the three of us will go to the Beishan Official
Road, and we will go separately, one to Hehuang, and the other to
Longzhi. When the time comes, you have to choose one of us. Helan Xin
nodded and understood, but she didn't have a score in her heart about
who she wanted to talk to, so she pulled out her saber and threw it into
the sky, and when she landed, she saw that the tip of the sword was
deflecting to the west, Helan Xin picked up the saber, "I'll go west,
I'll go to Hehuang!" "
"Good! That's it! "
"One more thing. We had to travel for two days and one night, and we couldn't sleep on the way! Can Senior Sister stand it? "
Helan Xin's eyes were very firm.
"Yes!"
