Since being exiled, this was the first time Sheng Yuhan saw Sheng Nanxi so anxious. He frowned and asked:
"Xi'er, did you find something wrong?"
Sheng Nanxi didn't have time to fool around with him. She immediately put on a serious face and said.
"A massive avalanche has already begun over at Yuping! If we go over there now, we'll definitely be in trouble!"
She thought about it carefully. The original book did mention that an avalanche occurred in Yuping at the beginning of the evening.
But the exile team had already passed Yuping and was not affected.
But now she changed the plot, causing the exile team to be delayed at the station this morning because of Liu Ming's death.
They went over now and ran into an avalanche!
After all the previous experiences, Sheng Yuhan knew that his sister was extraordinary. He immediately believed her words and fell into deep thought.
Liang nodded slowly: "Well, you are right."
"This snow has been falling for half a month, which is a rare sight. In addition, the terrain in the Yuping area is very steep."
"If it's true as you said, a large-scale avalanche has already begun. I'm afraid there's a possibility of avalanches in the surrounding area."
"If we go there now, we will surely die without a burial place..."
The two of them talked quietly here, neither avoiding the family members walking nearby.
Everyone in the 꺶 family doubted Sheng Nanxi's words and their faces became solemn.
But Sheng Yichen said in a relaxed tone:
"This is not a big deal. Since there is an avalanche ahead, we can just take a detour."
"Just when I was in the beginning of the year, I went to the northern border to visit my fifth brother and got lost around here. I have already figured out the terrain around here."
"We are now heading northwest. After passing through a forest, we will be able to follow a road around Yuping."
"And there are some giant caves nearby, which is just convenient for us to stay overnight."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, picked up Sheng Nanxi who was sitting in Sheng Yuhan's arms, and held her in his arms. He teased:
"Brother! You are the best at convincing people! Whether we stay in the snow or in the cave tonight depends entirely on your words!"
Sheng Nanxi raised her fist, looking like she was cheering for Sheng Yuhan:
"Brother, go for it!"
Sheng Yuhan shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to quickly turn the wheelchair and go find Li Feihu.
They were discussing among themselves, and Li Feihu, who was at the front of the team, had a worried look on his face.
According to custom, they have already delayed a lot of their schedule, and today they should make every effort to catch the prisoners away.
But now the snow and wind were getting stronger and stronger. The scenery a few steps away was completely obscured by thick fog, and it was impossible to see clearly whether forward or backward.
Li Feihu suddenly felt a little flustered.
Seeing Sheng Yuhan coming to talk to him, he just listened casually and didn't take it to heart.
However, as he listened, his expression became solemn...
Sheng Yuhan did not say that it was Sheng Nanxi who discovered the abnormality.
He only said that he had learned astronomy and geography in his spare time, and judging from the current weather conditions, there might be an avalanche ahead, causing heavy casualties.
When Lin Shaoxuan's father heard what he said, he ran over to join in the fun.
You and I talked about our experiences in marching and fighting, and said that the weather was really strange and it was not suitable to move forward.
Lin Shaoxuan even told a ghost story with great excitement:
"Hey! Sir, let me tell you! I encountered something similar when I was fighting with Marshal before!"
"The generals present at the time all said that the weather was very strange and it was not advisable to go forward!"
"But there was a general who refused to believe in evil and insisted that a surprise attack would be best carried out on a snowy day. He secretly led a thousand soldiers and rushed forward in the middle of the night. Guess what happened?!"
When he got to the key point, he paused deliberately to whet the appetite of those around him before continuing:
"Tsk, tsk...more than a thousand lives! All neatly buried in the snow!"
"This is not the worst! Because of the serious dereliction of duty by the lieutenant general, his entire family was sentenced to be beheaded!"
"Oh! You don't know! Several people were being taken to the execution ground. When they got here, there was a loud snap and they were all killed!"
Lin Shaoxuan spoke with ups and downs, and when necessary, he would even add some hissing sound effects.
Li Feihu suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the wind around him became eerie and scary.
It was the first time he encountered such strange weather in all the times he had been escorting the exile team.
Thinking of the recent series of bizarre events, Li Feihu felt a chill run down his spine.
After thinking it over for a while, he still felt that he could slow down his pace and catch up later, but if he lost his life, he would lose everything.
If you think about it this way, it doesn't matter if you take a detour.
Moreover, he had been to the road that Sheng Yuhan and the others mentioned.
Although you have to go a little further, the terrain there is calmer and it is definitely safer than going forward.
However, if you take the road to the northwest, there will be no place to stay for several miles.
Tonight, the exile team can only rest in the caves that Sheng Yichen mentioned, and then set off again tomorrow morning.
Many of the prisoners thought the road ahead was foggy and scary, but they had to move forward because of the officials' urging.
Now they heard that they could not only take a detour but also rest in a nearby cave. Not only did they not complain, but they were very happy.
Sheng Nanxi, who was sitting in Sheng Yichen's arms, had her brows tightly locked together.
She once again carefully looked at the vaguely visible Yuping Mian in front of her, and the Mian caves they were going to stay in tonight. She was extremely sure that the avalanche tonight would definitely not affect the Mian caves.
But somehow, she always felt uneasy.
It seems that some huge danger is approaching everyone.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the exile team arrived at the 껚洞 where they would stay for the night.
Probably because of the wind direction, the mountains here not only had a lot of snow and wind, but also less fog than there. You could even vaguely see the afterglow of the sunset.
There were three adjacent caves in this area. All the hundreds of prisoners were driven into the two smaller caves, and the larger cave was left for the officials to live in.
After a day of hiking in the snow and wind, the convicts were all exhausted.
As soon as he entered the cave, he lay down flat and took a good rest, waiting for the officials to distribute the food for the day. After eating, he went back to sleep.
But I heard people who were going to relieve themselves shouting that a stream nearby had frozen over and all the fish in it were frozen to death.
Many people in the cave rushed out again, preparing to catch a few fish to grill and eat.
The people in the Sheng family's house were assigned to the larger cave.
They just found a corner with few people and sat down. Li Zhenyi and Yun Jin went out together to find some hay nearby to make the bed.
Sheng Yichen has always been a restless person. When he heard someone catching fish outside, he immediately wanted to go out to see what was going on.
Sheng Nanxi always felt that something was going to happen, so she clamored to go out with her third brother.
Sheng Yichen didn't care. He stretched out his hand and picked it up, then carried it on his shoulder.
The two of them strolled out of the cave leisurely, and saw a few people surrounding a thin stream not far away.
"Oh……"
Sheng Yichen looked like he didn't want to associate with these people.
"A fish caught from such a stream? I'm afraid it won't even fill the gaps between our teeth!"
"Let's go! I'm going to hunt a wild boar to feed Xier!"
However, he was slapped hard by the little girl on his head.
After waiting for a while, I heard 께奶包's suddenly solemn voice coming from above my head:
"Brother, there are about 500 people coming this way two miles to the southwest!"
The sound was getting closer and closer. She didn't need to say anything. Sheng Yichen heard the noise and his eyes became extremely gloomy:
"Although the enemy has a large number of people, their steps are chaotic and disorganized. They don't look like an organized army, but more like bandits."
"But there is no fortress of this size nearby. These people braved the snow and gathered so many people here. It's impossible that they came here for the purpose of robbery..."
Sheng Yichen's voice became louder and louder, and the hearts of the two siblings sank a little bit to the bottom.
No one else passed by this area except the exiles. The bandits came in such a powerful manner, it was impossible that they came here to rob the exiles who were rich.
There is only one possibility:
Someone is buying murder!
"It should be someone sent by the Queen Mother..."
Sheng Yichen pondered for a moment and said lightly.
"Two miles to the southwest, there is indeed a large-scale bandit stronghold. It is said that the bandit leader likes to gather a group of people like this and travel together to inflict overwhelming damage on the enemy."
"Not long ago, I received a secret report saying that the Queen Mother's people seem to have close contacts with that village. These people, most likely were instructed by them..."
While the two were talking, Xiao walked to a deserted place. Sheng Yichen was explaining to Xiao Mei while thinking about how to protect his family under the siege of 500 people.
I felt that the milk bag sitting on my neck suddenly slapped my head with one claw, and said heroically:
"Just in time!"
"We lead them to Yuping!"
"Bury them all!"
