It was dawn and saw further. On the vast snowfield, except for the snowflakes rolled up in the distance flying in the sky, there was no sign of life, nor the Khitan warriors they were looking for.

The wind and snow were getting heavier and visibility began to decrease. Both of them were in a heavy mood. They were preparing to find a place to shelter from the wind, and at this time, they had little food on them, and at most they could have enough food.

And they walked these days and could hardly see animals along the way. If they could not hunt on the vast snowfield, even if they wanted to eat tree bark and dig grass roots, it would become a luxury. The thick snow covered all signs of life.

Suddenly, among the flying snowflakes, Lu Jinping found a small black dot flying in the air. He observed carefully and soon found that it was a piece of clothing.

Someone's clothes should be someone or a corpse. Perhaps the direction where the clothes float is the direction they are looking for. Even if it is not the person they are looking for, it would be a good result to find others to get food.

The wind and snow were very fast, and the clothes were rolled up to a high altitude with only a small black dot mixed in the snowflakes. If Lu Jinping hadn't had the sharp eyes, he would have no way of discovering them. He wanted Yelu Jue to identify them, but the small black dot had disappeared in the wind and snow in the distance.

He identified the direction the wind was blowing, which was different from the direction they were walking.

Lu Jinping quickly said to Yelu Jue: "We must walk in the wind."

"Why is it facing the wind? It's difficult to walk. And I looked at the direction of the stars last night, and Black Sand City was heading in this direction."

"Using stars to distinguish directions can only be a general direction, and we can't rely too much on stars. Moreover, we are not going to Black Sand City, we need supplies, otherwise we will starve to death."

"Can you find someone by walking in the wind?"

"Just just now, I saw a small black dot blew along the wind, which seemed to be a human's clothes. I originally wanted to tell you, but it blew away soon. I hope I read it right now. If it was a human's clothes, I would be able to find the place where the clothes blew over, and maybe I could find the person."

When Yelu Jue heard Lu Jinping’s words, he couldn’t help but feel happy and said, “Okay. Let’s take a gamble. I believe in your vision, just like I believe in you.”

The two of them then corrected their direction and walked forward against the wind.

However, the wind on the snow field does not necessarily have a fixed direction. Sometimes it is impossible to tell where the wind comes from, but there is a general direction.

They walked forward in the main direction of the wind until evening when the night began to cover the entire snowfield. Suddenly, Lu Jinping stopped and stared at the front with his eyes fixed on it.

Yelu Jue was so tired that he was out of breath and wanted to rest for a while, but he felt that Lu Jinping looked a little wrong, so he looked up at him and was about to ask what was wrong. However, Lu Jinping rushed towards her, knocked her to the ground, and threw her heavily into the soft snow.

Lu Jinping's hands and acupoints on his body were not untied, so he could only knock the other person down with his body.

Yelu Jue was knocked down by Lu Jinping, and quickly reached out to hug Lu Jinping and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Because she saw Lu Jinping's expression was very serious, even with fear.

"Wolf, wolves! Come here. Slowly cover us with snow, hoping that the wolves will not notice us."

Yelu Jue was so scared that she knew the wolves on the grassland were powerful. If she met them, she would die without life! Especially if she encountered wolves on the snowy field, such wolves would definitely be hungry for a long time. Once they found their prey, they would launch a crazy attack.

Lu Jinping threw himself on her. Fortunately, the snow was very soft. When he fell, most of the two men had already fallen into the snow. Yelu Jue, who was under him, quickly shoveled the left and right snowflakes to cover the two men, leaving only their head, mouth, nose and eyes.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and smaller, and the sound of wolves howling came along the wind, and it began to appear and disappear. Gradually, it became clearer and more and more creepy, because it was not a wolf howling, but a lot of them. It was one after another, and it was everywhere in front, back, left and right.

It was obvious that the wolves were walking past their hiding place.

When Yelu Jue saw the figure of the wolf, he felt that leaving nostrils and eyes was a risk, so he slowly grabbed Lu Jinping and squeezed them into the depths of the snow, causing their heads to sink into the soft snow. The wind and snow quickly blew the snowflakes through the thin layer of their heads, which could breathe through the learning layer, but could block their sight.

Soon, Yelu Jue felt glad for his alertness. Because several wolves almost walked past them, he could even feel the wolf's feet stomping on them. He could hear the heavy breathing of the wolf and the sound of grinding teeth.

Perhaps the wind and snow blew away the smell on their bodies, preventing them from being smelled by the wolf passing by, and avoiding this disaster.

After a while, the two of them were trembling in the snow. Finally, they could not hear the howl of the wolf, only the sound of the whistling wind.

Yelu Jue then slowly pushed Lu Jinping's head away, carefully looked up to observe the surrounding scenes, and found that the sky had become dark, but the reflection of the snow was still enough to make him see far away. There was no movement around, and the wolves were gone.

Yelu Jue then pushed Lu Jinping, who was lying on his body, stood up and looked around, and was sure that there was no danger. Then he helped Lu Jinping up: "Fortunately, you discovered them in time, otherwise you would be afraid that we two have been eaten by the wolf now."

Lu Jinping was also worried: "Actually, it wasn't me who saw it, because the wind and snow covered the traces of the wolf and also blocked our whereabouts. Otherwise, the wolf's eyes would be extremely keen. They had discovered us long ago before we saw them. I had heard the wailing sound of the wolf from the sound of the wind, which was very slight, but I dared not take risks. I would rather make mistakes than take risks, otherwise I would pay the price of my life."

"So that's it. Fortunately, you are smart, and fortunately the wolves came with the wind. Otherwise, our scent would have been smelled by them long ago and they would not be able to escape."

Lu Jinping's heart sank: "They come with the wind, and hope they don't eat the person we are looking for."

Yelu Jue was also worried about this, but he was unwilling to add solemnity to the already heavy atmosphere. He forced a smile and said, "It shouldn't be. We will not be so lucky. Let's go, we will continue to move forward, and we will be able to get away from the wolves."

Although Yelu Jue was lying in the snow, her nervousness just now made her forget the coldness. After the rest just now, she recovered some strength and helped Lu Jinping to trek forward with difficulty.

The blizzard gradually weakened, but they did not stop because they were eager to verify their guesses, whether there was really someone ahead, and whether those people had been eaten by the wolves.

This speculation has finally been confirmed.

Just as they walked to midnight, on a snowy field, they saw the bones of people scattered around with blood, as well as torn clothes, scattered bedding, bags of food, and horse bones, etc.

Yelu Xue stood there, feeling sad. She rushed up to check one by one, and finally said to Lu Jinping: "It was them, my fifty warriors, all dead. All of them were left with bones, and they were eaten clean by the wolf. All of them were eaten up, including dry food. Nothing that could be eaten was left for us."

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly: "How could the wolves leave food wherever they pass? If I had known this, when we met the wolves just now, we should ambush one or two of them, and maybe they can still make dry food."

Although he said so, he really wanted to go back to the scene just now and ask him to hunt a wolf in the wolf pack, and he would not dare to kill him, because once he was discovered, it was not the wolf who died, but them.

Yelu Jue was in a bad mood and hugged Lu Jinping, his voice choked up and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. I'm afraid I'm hurting you, and I feel very uneasy."

"Do we two still have to say these kind words? We work together. Don't you unlock my acupoints yet?"

Yelu Jue forced a smile and sniffed: "I'm sorry, I'll explain it to you right away. Even if you beat me to death now, I can't do anything about it. I was wrong and I hurt you. If you follow them, you shouldn't encounter this disaster."

While speaking, Yelu Jue quickly untie the acupoints on Lu Jinping's body and hands.

Just now, Lu Jinping felt his whole body numb and could not move for a while, but his mood became much more relaxed.

When his hands finally slowly recovered from consciousness, he pushed Yelu Jue away and said, "Let me see."

Lu Jinping walked in the soft snow with difficulty, checking one by one whether there was dry food left beside the dead bodies on the ground, but nothing was left. Yelu Jue had already searched for it before.

Lu Jinping picked up a wooden stick on the ground and began to tread it everywhere in the snow.

Yelu Jue followed behind him, and when he saw this scene, he suddenly realized: "Yes, we can hide in the snow. Maybe someone is buried in the snow, or there is food buried in the snow and not discovered by the wolf. I will come to look for it too."

But it took them almost an hour to find nothing in the snow.

It turned out that since the wolves had discovered these fifty warriors, they had no chance to escape. Even if they were hiding in the snow, they were smelled and dug out. The reason why Lu Jinping and the others were able to escape the wolves passing by in the snow was because the wolf did not discover them in advance and did not wary of them hiding in the snow.

The two sat on the snow in a frustration, staring at each other blankly.

Because the wind and snow had almost stopped, Lu Jinping took out the bamboo flute that summoned the snow sculpture from his arms.

Before this, she had thought of summoning the snow sculptures with a bamboo flute to help them get out of trouble, but after Yelu Jue lit the acupoints on both hands, she couldn't move. Moreover, he didn't want to move the snow sculptures until the last moment. Because at this time, I don't know if Xiaoxiao and the others were in danger, they might need the snow sculptures' help more than themselves.

At this moment, he needed to summon the snow sculpture, at least bring himself a letter to Xiaoxiao. Of course, it would be even better if he could hold them to meet Xiaoxiao.

However, after he blew the bamboo flute, he waited for a long time, but he did not see the familiar snow sculptures appearing in the air. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
