Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

When Yun Ge opened her eyes, it was broad daylight, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, it was indeed broad daylight. She thought she would sleep until midnight at most, but she didn't expect to sleep peacefully until dawn.But never mind!Things have come to this point, we can only live with the situation and play it by ear. After washing and just leaving the hospital, she saw guards coming and going, chatting and laughing, she caught one and asked why, and the guards replied with a smile: "The emperor is going to hunt, and promised a hundred gold." That's it, no wonder they are so happy, the lottery is second, if they can gain Liu Xun's favor through hunting, they may be named marquis and general in the future, but... Liu Xun still has the mood to hunt?

After Yun Ge thanked him, he went to find Xu Pingjun. Liu Shi was also in the queen's house, and Xu Pingjun was helping him organize his hunting clothes.Seeing that Liu Xun was going to take his son there, Yun Ge felt a little more apprehensive, perhaps Liu Xun hadn't noticed the loss of the order talisman yet. Holding a small bow, Liu Xi imitated how the generals walked, walked a few steps in front of Yun Ge, and made a posture of drawing the bow and shooting the eagle. Liu Xi's eyebrows and eyes resembled Xu Pingjun's, and he looked weak and delicate. Now that he was dressed like this, he suddenly had a bit of Liu Xun's heroism. Yun Ge smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Please, General, bring back two rabbits."

Liu Shi stomped his feet, "Who wants to hit a rabbit? I want to hit a tiger!" Xu Pingjun pushed him out with a smile, "Hurry up and find your father and master, I'll wait for you." Seeing Liu Xi left, he felt worried, and chased him to the door and told him, "Follow your father and master, don't Run around by yourself!" Liu Xi sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "Woman!" Xu Pingjun returned to the room with an angry smile, his brows were relaxed, as if the backlog of depression in Weiyang Palace had dissipated. Yun Ge said: "Hu'er is much more lively than in Weiyang Palace."

Xu Pingjun nodded, "I'm also happy to see him like this." "Sister, how is the emperor feeling today? Did he ask me?" "Very good! I didn't mention you. I only heard him discuss hunting with the ministers." "Oh!" "What's the matter? Are you still thinking about stealing the command talisman? When are you going to save Liu He?" "No! No! Sister, don't mention this again. Have you had breakfast? I got up too late and haven't eaten yet." Xu Pingjun hurriedly ordered people to prepare food, and then nagged Yun Ge, Yun Ge could only laugh quietly and listen.

The two gossiped together, laughed together, and ate together, as if they had returned to the old days, the unrestrained girlhood. At noon, the two went to climb the mountain together, and agreed to compare to see who would reach the top of the mountain first.Yun Ge didn't let Xu Pingjun go, so naturally he arrived first. Standing on the top of the mountain, she looked at the mountains with pink makeup and jade carvings, her eyes were infinitely sad, the country was still the same, and the characters were completely different! Hearing Xu Pingjun calling her, he cheered up and turned around with a smile.Just look at Xu Pingjun wearing a bright red silk phoenix brocade dress and a gold fur hooded cloak outside. He has a dignified posture and a graceful bearing. As she walks gracefully, the plain white world becomes her luxurious background.

She walked up to Yun Ge and panted and asked, "Why are you staring at me?" Yun Ge smiled and looked into the distance, "We are no longer who we used to be." Xu Pingjun hugged her with a smile, "As long as some things don't change, they will!" Yun Ge leaned on her shoulder and gave a soft "hmm". It was very late when we went down the mountain, but the hunters hadn't come back yet.Xu Pingjun became worried, and Fuyu persuaded him: "The emperor is not hunting in Lishan Mountain, they are taking people into the Qinling Mountains, and only in the deep mountains can they hunt big animals. I heard that when Emperor Xiaowu was young, he sometimes went hunting in the mountains, and went back and forth. It will take a month or two. Although the emperor doesn't plan to go that far this time, he always needs two or three days."

Ever since the incident of Liu Xi learning "King Zhou", Xu Pingjun has been reading history books diligently, knowing that Fuyu's words are true.Thinking of the protection of so many people around, and the fact that there are no Huo family members to make troubles, my worries are indeed superfluous, but I still can't let go of my concern for my son. "Yun Ge, you sleep with me at night, they all left, it's so deserted here." Yun Ge hesitated and said, "There are Fuyu and the others! I make a lot of noise at night, and I'm afraid I'll disturb my sister."

Xu Pingjun said angrily, "Come here as soon as I tell you to come. Where did you come up with so many excuses?" Yun Ge had no choice but to move here and sleep with her. At night, when Xu Pingjun was awakened by Yun Ge's coughing, he understood what Yun Ge was thinking.She got busy and poured a glass of water for Yun Ge, "Is it like this every night?" Yun Ge said apologetically, "It'll be fine in a while. It's been freezing cold these days, so it's getting worse." "Brother Meng didn't..." Yun Ge frowned, Xu Pingjun didn't dare to say any more.

Yun Ge took a few sips of water, then lay down and fell asleep again. Seeing that she was motionless with her eyes closed, Xu Pingjun had no choice but to put back all the words she had to say, while thinking about it, and at the same time lost her mind due to sleepiness. It was just dawn, and when they heard the commotion outside, Xu Pingjun and Yun Ge immediately sat up, and Fuyu played outside: "The emperor ordered someone to come and tell the queen, Jieyu and others in the hot spring palace to return to Chang'an immediately." '." Xu Pingjun asked while dressing, "Why?"

"Not very clear, the visitor's words were vague, as if the emperor wanted to seal the mountain." "Where's the emperor?" "The emperor took the road elsewhere, and he should be on his way back to Chang'an." Huo Chengjun's voice sounded outside, "Are the Empress and Mrs. Meng still asleep? I have just visited Mrs. Meng, and I heard that she is here..." Xu Pingjun said bitterly: "This crow! It just came out after being stable for two days. Once she crows, nothing good will happen!" Yun Ge tidied up her dress and raised the curtain with a smile, "Your Majesty wakes up so early!"

Huo Chengjun walked up to Yun Ge with a smile, took her hand, and looked like a sister and sister being affectionate, but his voice was sinister, "Hurry up to congratulate my sister!" Yun Ge asked with a smile: "Where does the joy come from? Could it be that the empress is terminally ill?" Huo Chengjun's eyes were strangely bright: "Me? Sister, don't even think about it! You must live longer and better than your sister! But your other big enemy has passed away, is your sister happy?" Yun Ge's limbs felt cold, and he forced a smile and said, "I don't understand what you are saying." Huo Chengjun grasped her hand tightly, like a poisonous snake wrapped around her wrist, "Sister got the news that Mr. Meng Juemeng accidentally fell off the cliff while hunting, and the body was never found. The emperor was very sad and ordered to seal the mountain to find the body. The emperor now I hurried back to the capital to prepare for the funeral." Xu Pingjun grabbed Huo Chengjun away, pointed to the door, and said sharply, "Get out!" Huo Chengjun was furious and stared at Xu Pingjun with hatred, "What are you..." Xu Pingjun shouted and asked: "I am the empress, how dare you not listen to my palace? Do you want my palace to enforce the palace rules? Wealthy, pass it on to the eunuchs." Fuyu replied loudly: "Yes!" Huo Chengjun was so angry that his body trembled, he took a few breaths, and bowed to salute, "Queen empress, calm down, I know my mistake!" After speaking, he immediately left the room. Xu Pingjun shook the bloodless Yun Ge, "How can her nonsense be taken seriously? How could Brother Meng fall off the cliff?" "Of course he won't fall himself, but what if the emperor forces him to fall?" Xu Pingjun's face turned pale, and he said sharply: "No! The emperor will never touch Big Brother Meng right now, and he still counts on Big Brother Meng to help him protect Hu'er." Yun Ge murmured, "You said Liu Xun 'won't move now'? It seems he intended to kill Meng Jue long ago." Xu Pingjun was stunned by his own words, had he already noticed everything in the bottom of his heart?Just never face it. "Your Majesty, he...he...Brother Meng has always been cautious. Yu Hu'er is gracious. The Emperor has no reason to want to kill him. Maybe something happened. Won't……" Yun Ge's eyes were clear and clear, and he could see all the reasons behind it clearly in an instant, "Liu Xun has been dissatisfied with Meng Jue for a long time. After I rescued Liu He, Liu Xun definitely didn't believe that I could plan this matter alone, thinking that it was behind the scenes. It was Meng Jue, so in a fit of rage, he committed murder." Yun Ge hastily packed up a few things, bagged the snacks on the table, put on a cloak, and rushed out of the room. Xu Pingjun chased her and called: "Yunge! Yunge!" Yun Ge's pale face was full of despair, "I hate Meng Jue, and because I hate him, I will never accept his kindness, and I will not allow him to die because of me!" Yun Ge's figure quickly disappeared in the wind and snow. Xu Pingjun's eyes were blurred with tears, and he felt that at this moment, the most important things in her life were moving away and disappearing, and everything she tried her best to believe in and protect would be shattered, "Yun Ge, you come back! Let's go back to the capital to find a way, we can send The army..." The figure was blurred in the wind and snow, and a faint voice came, "If my sister wants to help me, go back to the capital immediately to find Huo Guang, and tell me that I went to the mountains to find my husband. Maybe he thinks... and will send soldiers to rescue..." People and voices completely disappeared, only the north wind roared past. The snowflakes fell more and more quickly, and after a while, Xu Pingjun was covered in snow, and Fuyu called out, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" She didn't seem to hear anything, so Fuyu said tearfully, "Madam, now you are the only one in Chang'an who can save Miss Yun, you must save her!" Xu Pingjun murmured, "Can I?" "It's definitely possible! Miss Yun only has the empress as a relative, and the empress is her only support." Xu Pingjun changed from being confused to calm, "I only have her as a family member. Wealthy, withdraw the carriage, and we will ride back to Beijing!" Mount Li is a branch peak on the north side of the Qinling Mountains, with beautiful mountains and magnificent mountains, stretching for more than forty miles from east to west.The entire Qinling Mountains run east-west, stretching across the land of Guanzhong. The mountains are majestic and distributed in the shape of a bee waist. Huashan Mountain, Mangling Mountain, Liuling Mountain and Xinkailing Mountain; the middle section is Taibai Mountain, Aoshan Mountain, Shouyang Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Caolian Mountain, and countless small mountains, such as Cuihua Mountain and Nanwutai. After Yun Ge found out where Liu Xun was closing the mountain, she went straight and met the guards of Fengshan on the way. She tricked her into asking the general location of Liu Xun's hunting, then forcibly broke in, and snatched away Liu Xun. A saber.Due to the complex and changeable terrain in the mountain and the heavy snowfall, the guards quickly lost her trace. Yun Ge has climbed two peaks in a row, and this is the third one. If it wasn't for this one, she would continue to climb the next one.There was a desolation on the top of the mountain, and the heavy snow had covered everything, leaving only the bright white. She waved the saber in her hand, shook the snow off the trees, and gradually noticed the strangeness, many trees had new broken marks, her heart was shaken, knowing that she had found the right place, she hurriedly wiped the trunks with her sleeve , Very fresh traces of the sword are exposed in front of my eyes. Yun Ge's eyes vaguely appeared: Meng Jue was lured here, and when he realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat, it was too late, so he had to fight with his sword, surrounded by heavy soldiers on three sides, and the encirclement gradually closed, forcing him to the edge of the cliff... No!The force of the knife mark here is so light, the person using the knife obviously has no serious intention to kill. It seems that Liu Xun doesn't want to kill Meng Jue immediately, he wants to capture him alive?Why... Maybe Meng Jue has something he wants, maybe he still has scruples, maybe there are other reasons, so it's not that he lured Meng Jue here, but that when Meng Jue found out his intention, he approached the cliff. I would rather be smashed to pieces than be at the mercy of Liu Xun! Yun Ge supported the tree trunk, gasping for breath. After she calmed down a bit, she walked carefully to the edge of the cliff and looked down.The walls stood thousands of feet high, and the cliffs soared. She felt dizzy for a while, and immediately shrank back. Falling from such a place, is there still a way out? Her body was weak, and she fell to the ground, snowflakes were falling on her body, and there seemed to be heavy snow floating in her mind, she just felt that the world was desolate, white and miserable cold. In the misty snowflakes, I seem to see a man in brocade clothes, walked into the simple noodle shop, and is slowly taking off the black bamboo hat on his head.At that time, it was the first time in life, and everything was still blooming. "My name is Meng Jue, Meng of Mencius, and Jue of the King of Jade." "For you. You give me the stars on the ground, and I give you the snow in your palm." "Sit down and think slowly, there are still several hours until dawn." "The night is long and I am patient." "Yun Ge, wait for me, I'll be right there." ... For some unknown reason, tears poured out like water breaking a bank. While crying, she stood up with her saber in her hand, waved the saber, and chopped down the surrounding trees like crazy, "You are not allowed to die! You are not allowed to die! I don't want to owe you a favor! I will take care of what I do myself..." Crying and crying, the saber seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and the swing became slower and slower, and it fell to the ground with a "bang", and she knelt softly on the ground, crying loudly. "There are people over there." Someone shouted from the mountain stream. Yun Ge's tears still kept falling, she just felt that the world was in a haze, and everything was indifferent. Listening to the approaching footsteps, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning. If Liu Xun was sure that Meng Jue was dead, why is it necessary to send so many people to seal the mountain? The crying stopped immediately, before even wiping away the tears, he immediately picked up the saber and hid in the forest. She carefully observed the cliff from the side. There are many old pine and cypress vines growing on the cliff. If it is planned in advance when falling, with the help of the branches of pine and cypress, the falling force will be reduced a lot, and luckily it will not hit the uneven mountain. On the wall, there may be one in a million life. She tied the long knife to her body, and was about to go down the valley to see if it was possible to climb up from the bottom. Maybe Meng Jue was hanging dying on a tree on the cliff, but maybe he had... She immediately stopped thinking , stomped his feet, rubbed his hands, and set off! When I climbed into the valley and looked up at the mountain, I realized how big the mountain is, and I can't see the edge from the left and right. I searched inch by inch, when will I find it? No matter when you find it, you will see people in life, and corpses in death! Yun Ge took a deep breath, using his hands and feet together, and began to climb up.Pines, cypresses, vines, and shrubs are intertwined. In some places, the snow is so thick that you can't see the original appearance of the plants. You don't feel the thorns until you grab them with your hands. Stabbed the palm. Suddenly, a few small birdsong rang out, Yun Ge didn't bother to listen, and still concentrated on climbing the mountain.There were a few birdsongs again, Yunge stopped and listened carefully, after a while, there were several more. At first glance, it sounds like a bird chirping, but the consecutive chirping sounds can be divided into "Gong, Shang, and Jiao".Yun Ge closed his eyes, as if inferring, as if praying, "Zhengyin! Zhengyin!" The bird call sounded again, and sure enough, it was a higher pitch.Tears welled up in Yun Ge's eyes, and he immediately followed the bird's cry. When she pushed aside the densely weeping vines, Meng Jue was leaning on the mountain wall and smiling at her, with a calm and warm expression, as if the two reunited on an outing in the midst of blooming mountain flowers, and they were not at all tired. Yun Ge said with a cold face: "You suffered this calamity because of me, I rescue you now, we owe nothing to each other!" Meng Jue smiled and said, "Okay." Yun Ge looked at his blood-stained tattered robe, "Is it seriously injured? Can you still go?" "I'm afraid not." Yun Ge turned her back, "I'll carry you down first." A pair of hands rested carefully on her shoulders, as if she was the one who was injured.There is a familiar yet unfamiliar breath in the nose and ears, and they seem to be a little confused, and no one speaks. Yun Ge cut a section of rattan, used it as a rope, tied him to his back, and carried him down the mountain. Although he has martial arts, but after all, he is carrying a tall man on his back, and such a steep mountain wall, sometimes it is because the stones on which he is standing suddenly loosen, and sometimes it is because the thick rattan suddenly breaks, and it is several times. This time, both of them almost fell down. Although Yun Ge didn't say a word, there was cold sweat all over his forehead, while Meng Jue just hugged her silently, not even breathing up and down in every danger.Yun Ge suddenly became worried, did this person faint?Taking advantage of a chance to stand firmly, she turned her head to look around, but saw that he was staring at her with a smile, with peace and joy in his eyes, Yun Ge was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Are you stupid?" Meng Jue smiled without saying a word, Yun Ge gave him a vicious look, and turned her head hastily. Finally, when they got down to the valley, Yun Ge let out a sigh of relief, put him down, let him rest against the tree trunk first, and put the dim sum fruit in his arms by his hand, although it was already a mess, it was still enough to satisfy his hunger. "You get me some flat planks, I've got broken bones in my legs and need splicing." Yun Ge took out his saber and chopped out a plank. Meng Jue told her how to set the bone, and ordered, "If I faint, wake me up with snow." Yun Ge nodded, and Meng Jue motioned for her to start. According to the method he taught, Yun Ge forcefully pulled and twisted the dislocated leg bone. With the sound of "click", Meng Jue's face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans covered his forehead. Yun Ge looked up at him, "Do you want to take a break and take another one?" Meng Jue spat out two words from between his teeth, "Continue." Yun Ge gritted her teeth, lowered her head to help him clean up the injury on the other leg, first removed the wooden splinters, and then yanked the leg bone violently. Feeling the pain in his heart, Meng Jue suddenly felt a rush of energy and blood. He quickly raised his arm, covered his face with his sleeve, and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the sleeve. Yun Ge lowered his head, concentrating on helping him set the bone, and did not pay attention to Meng Jue's movements. After the connection was completed, he fixed it with wooden boards and rattan sticks. Yun Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "Where else are you injured?" Meng Jue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter anywhere else." Since seeing him, he has been smiling, and this smile is different from the one he usually wears on his face, but Yun Ge can't tell exactly what is different.She said angrily: "Can you still laugh at the current situation? You are not afraid that no one will come to rescue you? You call for help like a bird? Do you think you are very smart? Fortunately, these soldiers are rough people. If there are too many, the enemy will show up instead of the reinforcements being called." Meng Jue smiled and said nothing.She cried loudly on the top of the cliff, and there was an echo in the valley, not to mention him, even people a few mountains away should have heard it. His bird call was originally meant for her. Yun Ge saw that he just smiled, and said viciously: "Liu Xun sent people to surround the outside heavily, in name to seal off the mountain to mourn, but in fact, he was afraid that if you were alive, he could search the mountain to kill you. You are like this now, How is it different from Zushang fish?" Meng Jue asked with a smile, "Will Huo Guang come to rescue you?" "I don't know. I'm not sure what he's thinking. I saved Liu He, so I guess he won't be less angry than Liu Xun, but he has always been very kind to me..." Hearing the faint voices of people in the valley, Yun Ge immediately carried Meng Jue on his back and looked for a place to hide. Fortunately, this valley has been searched back and forth five or six times. When this group of soldiers searched, they were not careful. While cursing the ghost weather, they looked around casually and passed. When the soldiers left, Meng Jue said: "Now there are two plans, you can choose one. One, Huo Guang will save you. Liu Xun has no reason to stop Huo Guang from saving his daughter. As long as Huo Guang is tough, Liu Xun will definitely retreat. Then We are waiting in this valley. This is where I fell. Liu Xun has sent troops to search for many times. The soldiers must be very slack about this place in a short time. Second, Huo Guang will not save you. Liu Xun can't find me The corpse, with his personality, will definitely increase our troops, and the soldiers will definitely come back here to look for my clues, so we must try our best to stay away from this place. I have a way to force Liu Xun to retreat, but it will take time. Fortunately, the forest in the mountains is dense, There are so many peaks and ridges, they can find them enough to hide.” Yun Ge had many doubts in his mind, but since Meng Jue said there was a way, then there must be a way.After she lowered her head and thought for a while, she looked up at Meng Jue: "When I was imprisoned in the prison, I met a group of friends. I always wanted to thank them, but I couldn't figure out where I was imprisoned. Where, I heard later that a fire broke out in a prison that year, and all the people inside were burned to death. Are those people people I know? Was it Huo Guang who did it?" Meng Jue saw the strong sadness in Yun Ge's eyes, and wanted to deny it, to erase her self-blame and sorrow, but he couldn't do anything, he could only nod his head. Yun Ge turned around, picked him up, and said, "Let's get out of here!" The vast forest, the lonely mountains, the world was so quiet that it seemed that only the two of them were left. Yun Ge silently walked in the wind and snow with Meng Jue on her back, one foot deep, one foot shallow, her steps getting slower and slower, but she kept her back firmly on her back. Yun Ge is very proficient in the game of hide-and-seek, and walks along the way, setting up doubts along the way.For a while, they deliberately broke off the branches in the opposite direction, creating the illusion that they passed by and hung up the branches; The way it passed by.Their original whereabouts were all naturally covered up by Yun Ge with the help of the non-stop falling snow. The snow was heavy for a while, and light for a while, and at night, it stopped. Seeing that Yun Ge was exhausted, Meng Jue said, "Find a place to rest for the night! When the snow stops, footprints will be left no matter how far you go, which will make it easier for them to track." Yun Ge originally wanted to find a cave, but he didn't find it, so he found a big tree to block the wind, and spread a thick layer of pine branches on the leeward side, trying to isolate it from the cold of the snow, and took off the cloak and spread it on the pine branches Come on, let Meng Jue sit on it.Meng Jue wanted to speak, but was stared at by Yun Ge warningly, so he had to keep his mouth shut and let Yun Ge arrange everything. In the dark night, the fire light was too obvious to follow the target, so even though Yun Ge was wearing tinder, he didn't dare to start a fire, and the two could only sit quietly in the dark. There were a few "cuckoo" calls suddenly, in fact the sound was very small, but because the surroundings were too quiet, it seemed very loud, Yun Ge turned his head away.Meng Jue handed over the snack that Yun Ge gave him earlier, Yun Ge hurriedly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating a few mouthfuls, he came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Why haven't you finished eating? You haven't had it for a long time. Have you eaten yet?" Meng Jue smiled, "People who have experienced hunger know how to keep as little food as possible for as long as possible. Sometimes food is not used to relieve hunger, but to keep it from starving to death." Yun Ge looked at the few bites of snacks left in the handkerchief, unable to eat any more, "I've had enough, the rest is yours." Meng Jue didn't persuade her either, but just wrapped the handkerchief and put it in her bosom again. Yun Ge sat silently for a while, and asked, "There should be many animals in the woods, can we hunt?" Meng Jue laughed: "At this time, we'd better ask God not to let us meet animals. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and animals with food reserves will not come out. The ones who come out to look for food against the wind and snow are often extremely hungry tigers." Leopard. I can't move, I don't have any ability to protect myself, what can a saber do?" "I can make traps, and now that my martial arts has improved greatly, it won't be like before, where I can't even beat Jie dogs." Meng Jue stared at her with a smile, and said gently: "I know. When the sun rises, let's see if we can set traps to catch some birds." "Okay!" Yun Ge's frustration dissipated a bit, leaned against the tree, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.Too tired, although he was cold and hungry, he still fell into a deep sleep. Meng Jue kept staring at her, seeing that she was fast asleep, and slowly moved her body, pulled out the fox cloak wrapped around her body, and covered her.Yun Geren was in a dream, but he coughed continuously, and his sleep was very restless.With a gloomy expression, Meng Jue gently picked up her wrist, took her pulse, and mentally memorized the frequency and time of her coughing. In the middle of the night, snowflakes came again, and the weather became colder and colder. Before dawn, Yun Ge woke up from the cold, opened his eyes and glared at Meng Jue. Meng Jue smiled and said, "I just woke up and saw you shrunk, so... I don't want you to wake up so soon, it's unnecessary." "You don't have too much trouble in the future! If you piss me off, I'll throw you into the snow to feed the tiger!" Yun Ge finished warning, grabbed a handful of snow to wipe his face, grinning from the cold, but completely awake . "Let's continue walking, looking for small animals and caves along the way. I have tinder on me, and we can have barbecue with the cave." The heavy snow seemed to make all the animals disappear. Although Yun Ge paid attention as he walked, he never found any trace of animals.However, under Meng Jue's guidance, she climbed up the tree and dug out a few squirrel nests. Although she didn't catch any squirrels, she got a small pile of pine cones and chestnuts. lunch. Originally, the food was pitifully scarce, and Meng Jue deliberately left two pine cones to not eat. Yun Ge asked, "What are you keeping them for?" Meng Jue put away the pine cones with a smile, "You will know when the time comes." Yun Ge thought for a while, came to understand, knocked himself on the head violently, picked up Meng Jue angrily, and left. Meng Jue smiled and said, "You didn't expect it. It's not that you are stupid. Who would do it for the first time? I also learned it slowly for survival." Yun Ge walked silently for a while, then suddenly asked: "Did you often look for food like this when you were young? Even squirrels... ate food." Meng Jue said calmly, "Just for a while." Yun Ge walked through the desert, walked through the grassland, climbed over the snow-capped mountains, and climbed over the steep mountains. For her, the wild world is familiar, friendly and full of fun, but now she realizes that she has never really understood this cruel world. Under their care, all the cruelty was covered by them, and she only saw the fun and interesting side. When passing a dry bush, Meng Jue suddenly whispered next to Yun Ge's ear, "Stop, climb down slowly." Yun Ge didn't know what happened, her whole body was tense, she crouched down slowly and held her breath, and lay down on the snow. Meng Jue threw out the prepared pine nuts one by one, from far to near, and then he made a gesture of hooking Yun Ge, signaling her to approach him, Yun Ge hurriedly leaned his head towards him, thinking what he was going to say , but he reached out to pick the jade pendant on her ear, Yun Ge immediately reacted, quickly took off the other one and handed it to Meng Jue. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Seeing that the pine nuts were about to be completely covered by snowflakes, Yun Ge looked at Meng Jue suspiciously. Meng Jue only nodded, and Yun Ge focused on the front again. In the ice and snow, cold body and hungry stomach, lying motionless in the snow is really a torture comparable to torture, not to mention that Meng Jue was seriously injured.However, both Meng Jue and Yun Ge were very human, they waited patiently, the snow was still falling, gradually, it was no longer possible to see that there were two other people. A mountain pheasant got out from the bushes, looked around with its head poking around, carefully dug through the snow, and looked for pine nuts under the snow. At first, it ate a pine nut, and looked around vigilantly, but kept There was no abnormal sound, and it gradually relaxed its vigilance. Daxue buried all the food deep in the ground. It had been hungry for a long time, and now it couldn't hold back any longer, and began to plow the snow quickly, looking for pine nuts. Meng Jue held his breath, and with force on his wrist, shot Yun Ge's jade earrings out. Two consecutive shots hit the pheasant's head, and the pheasant let out a short wail, and fell to the snow. Yun Ge let out a "wow" cry and jumped up from the snow. Her limbs were stiff because she lay on the ground for too long, but she didn't even care about moving her hands and feet, so she staggered and ran to pick up the pheasant.From childhood to adulthood, she has hunted countless times, and has hunted all kinds of rare birds and animals, but this time, this little mountain pheasant is the most exciting hunt for her.Yun Ge happily picked up the pheasant, smiled, and said to Meng Jue: "Your hunting skills are better than my third brother, who did you learn from?" Meng Jue hadn't seen Yun Ge talking to him with a smile for a long time, she lost her mind and was in a daze for a moment, before she said: "People are beasts, these things are instincts, when you are very hungry, you will naturally do it in order to survive. " Yun Ge was stunned for a while, not knowing what was going on in his heart, so he went to help Meng Jue up. Seeing her haggard face, Meng Jue said, "There are dead trees here, and it's daytime, so the light from the fire won't be too obvious. The mountain pheasants are roasted and eaten before we go on the road." Yun Ge nodded, and carried Meng Jue under a tree that could slightly block the wind and snow. After Meng Jue was settled, she went to clean up the pheasant, put the cleaned pheasant aside, and went to prepare for the bonfire , was picking up dry firewood, when she heard footsteps and voices suddenly, she was so startled that she immediately threw away the firewood and ran to carry Meng Jue, "Soldiers are here." After finishing his back, Meng Jue ran away. After a few steps, he missed their mountain pheasant and wanted to go back to get it, but he had already seen the figure of the soldier wandering in the woods. If he went back, he would definitely be found.Yun Ge was in a difficult situation: he wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to part with that pheasant, and he wanted to go back, but he knew it would be very dangerous to carry Meng Jue on his back.She was running, but she kept turning her head to look back. Meng Jue laughed suddenly, "Don't worry about it, it's important to escape!" With a mournful face, Yun Ge turned her head back and started to run wildly. While running, she was still in pain, mumbling endlessly cursing at the soldiers, at God, at Liu Xun, and then began to blame the mountain pheasant Not good, don't show up earlier to let them catch and eat. Suddenly hearing Meng Jue's chuckle, she became furious, "You're laughing! That's the mountain pheasant that we spent a lot of time catching, what's so funny?" Meng Jue coughed a few times, and said with a smile, "I'm laughing if I let people in the Western Regions know that Yao's sister is heartbroken over the pheasant, I'm afraid they would be more willing to believe that the fairy from the snow mountain came down to earth." Yun Ge was stunned for a moment, amidst the incomparable absurdity, at first there was a bit of sadness, but soon it all became funny, yes!Just a skinny pheasant!While running with Meng Jue on her back, she couldn't help but smile. Hearing her laughter, Meng Jue thought with a smile, this is Yunge! There are countless pursuers behind them, and the stomach is empty, but both of them are running away and laughing. Meng Jue and Yun Ge, one is a lone wolf who walked through hell, and the other is an elf who wandered in the mountains since childhood. Although the pursuers have physical strength, they can't do anything to them in the mountains. Soon, Yun Ge He and Meng Jue dumped them. But after not eating for a long time and before it was dark, Yun Ge couldn't move anymore. Although they knew that the pursuers were still nearby, the two had to rest early. When Yun Ge let Meng Jue down, a strand of Meng Jue's hair brushed against Yun Ge's cheek, Yun Ge was stunned, and grabbed his hair casually, "Your hair..." Meng Jue's hair was black and mottled. The silvery white, like faded satin. "When I was seven or eight years old, my hair was already half black and half white. My adoptive father said I was a teenager with white hair." Meng Jue's expression was very indifferent, as if he didn't think it was a big deal to be "monstrous" in the eyes of the world. There was faint anticipation and tension in Yun Ge's eyes. Yun Ge didn't respond, he let down his hair, and while cutting pine branches, he said, "Your adoptive father's medicine skills are really good, you can't tell that your hair is white at all." The hope in Meng Jue's eyes dissipated, and he lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Yun Ge, when you first met Liu Fuling in the desert, what was the first thing he said?" Yun Ge froze for a moment, turned his head to the side and laughed, with infinite softness in his expression, and replied: "Just two words, 'Zhao Ling', he doesn't like to talk!" Meng Jue closed her eyes with a smile, and closed all the pain and bitterness in her heart as if nothing had happened. Ren Nei was riddled with holes and blood, and there was only a calm and clear smile on her face. Yun Ge thought he was tired, so after laying out the pine branches, he wrapped the cloak around him, and curled up to sleep. In the middle of the night, when Yun Ge was sleeping drowsily, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and reached out her hand to touch it. She was wrapped in a cloak, and she sat up angrily, ready to condemn Meng Jue, but she saw that Meng Jue's face was strangely rosy.She hurriedly reached out to touch it, and the tentacles were hot. "Meng Jue! Meng Jue!" Meng Jue whispered in a drowsy voice, "I'm very thirsty." Yun Ge quickly took a handful of clean snow, melted it slowly with the warmth of his palm, and dripped the water into his mouth. Yun Ge grabbed his wrist, felt his veins, her expression changed immediately, and she stretched out her hand to check his body. As she checked, her complexion became more and more ugly. When he fell from the cliff, he should have tried to use his back to defuse the force of the fall, so his internal organs were seriously injured. Coupled with the lack of timely treatment and recuperation, his current symptoms are already in danger. Although Meng Jue didn't say a word, her body kept shaking, she must be very cold. Yun Ge wrapped his body with a cloak. Considering that lying flat could minimize the further deterioration of the injury, she took out her saber to chop wood and rattan, and tried to make a raft before the pursuers found them. Drag Meng Jue away. When Meng Jue was slightly awake, he opened his eyes and saw the sky moving with leaden clouds. He was in a daze for a moment before he realized that it was not the sky that was moving, but himself. Yun Ge was like a dog pulling a sled, dragging the raft on the snowy ground, it seemed that she had noticed his internal injuries. "Yun Ge, rest for a while." "When I was building a raft just now, I heard human voices. They should have caught up. I wanted to find a place to hide." As the raft slowly moved forward, Meng Jue felt his body getting colder and colder, the gloomy sky was falling lower and lower, and his thoughts seemed to return to a long time ago. It was also cold and hungry. At that time, there was only one wolf behind him, but this time there were countless "wolves". At that time, he could walk and run, but this time he was seriously injured.But this time, he didn't have the slightest anger, despair, or fear. Even though it was freezing cold, his heart was still warm, and he could fall asleep peacefully and happily... "Meng Jue! Meng Jue!" Meng Jue reluctantly opened his eyes and saw that Yun Ge's eyes were full of fear. "Meng Jue, don't sleep!" He smiled slightly, "I don't sleep." Yun Ge said softly: "We will find a cave right away, I will make a big fire, and then catch a rabbit, if you fall asleep, you won't have your share. Don't sleep, promise me !" Meng Jue stared at her tenderness almost greedily, "I promise you." Yun Ge dragged the raft and continued forward, talking non-stop while walking, trying her best to maintain Meng Jue's mind, "Meng Jue, tell me a story, okay?" "Ok." After waiting for a while, there was silence behind him. "Speak! Why don't you speak? Are you asleep?" Yun Ge's voice became flustered. "No." A weak but clear voice came from behind her, "I'm just thinking about how to start." "What kind of story." "A story of a boy and a girl." "Then you start from the very beginning." "A long, long time ago, there was a very happy and wealthy family. The father was a small but not small official, and the mother was a beautiful woman of different races. There were two brothers in the family. They loved each other. Suddenly one day, the father's master They were beaten into rebels, and the soldiers came to arrest them, and the mother and two brothers fled in a hurry." "Where's father?" "Father has gone to protect his master." "Didn't he protect his wife and children?" "He is the most loyal person. In his heart, the country is the first, the family is the second, and the master is the most important." "and after?" "Later, this woman from another race found her husband with her two young children. Although there were many dangers, she could only be happy when the family was reunited." "It's certainly worth being happy to meet again after a catastrophe." "The master of this father has a grandson who is about the same age as the youngest of the two brothers. In order to rescue the grandson of the master, the father decided to use his own child to pretend to be the other. The grandson of the master survived, but the younger brother He died in the sky prison. His mother took him away from his father in anger and despair, and it didn’t take long for the news that his father died to protect his master, and the desperate master committed suicide.” "And then? What about the boy? And his mother." "Although the master is dead, there are still countless people who are afraid of resurgence. They are secretly chasing and killing the master's subordinates. A group of people caught up with them. In order to protect her son, this strong foreign woman is going to lure the enemy with her body. She Before leaving, he stuffed a dagger and the only food left on his body into his son's hand, and said to him: "If you are my son, remember, I don't want you to save me today, I only want you to save me in the future." I have revenge!''Remember! Eat the food! Live to avenge me!' The enemy tortured the woman to find out everything about her master and father. , was finally tortured to death. Her son hid in a big tree not far away and witnessed everything with his own eyes. After everyone left, he knelt in front of his mother's body and ate the food that his mother gave him. Because of this, he was able to have the strength to bury his mother. He didn’t cry, his tears had already dried up, but since then, he lost his sense of taste and couldn’t taste any more.” Yun Ge's voice was hoarse and difficult, "Later, this boy met a very good man. This man adopted the boy as a foster son and taught him medical skills and martial arts. The boy returned to Chang'an, the place where he was born... " Meng Jue seemed to want to laugh, but only made a slight inhalation sound, "I haven't talked about that yet. Later, the boy went through all kinds of hardships and fled to his mother's hometown. Because he didn't dare to go on the road, he could only pick up the most out-of-the-way Walking in the wilderness, he often couldn't eat anything for a few days, and couldn't eat a little salt for a month or two, and he was panicked every day, and his hair began to turn white at that time." Meng Jue stopped, as if she wanted to take a rest before she could have the strength to continue.Yun Ge was thrilled to hear it, holding his breath in his chest, unable to utter a word. "Many times, death is really much, much easier than survival!" Meng Jue sighed heavily, "Several times he wanted to give up struggling and die, but his mother's words always rang in his ears. He didn't do what his mother asked him to do, so every time he struggled to survive. When he finally arrived at his mother's hometown, he found that he was called a 'little bastard' there. After a war, he I left my mother’s hometown and started wandering around. One day, a gambler was in a good mood after winning money, and rewarded him with a coin. The beggar on the field was dissatisfied, took him to the woods, and beat him. He had already Accustomed to the days of punching and kicking, he knew that the more he resisted, the more he would be beaten, so he simply stood still and let the opponent be beaten. When they got tired of beating, he stopped beating. At this time, he suddenly heard a crisp voice, like a prairie Like the lark on the road. The lark asked the beggars not to beat the boy again. Of course the beggars would not listen to her. The lark suddenly turned into a wolf, and the beggars were scared away by her. Later... " Meng Jue finally uttered the words that had been buried deep in his heart for many years, and finally accomplished what he had been obsessed with for a long time. When he let down his energy, he felt that his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand catties, and he wanted to close them. "Then . . . he saw that it was a green lark, and the green lark gave him a pearl-embroidered shoe. He threw it away, but picked it up again. The lark said . . . Said: "You need to use it to see the doctor." But even when he was about to starve to death, he didn't sell the pearl embroidered shoes. He always thought it was because he didn't want to accept the alms from the lark, and wanted to wait until one day in the future to buy the shoes with his own hands. Throw the pearl embroidered shoes back to her, but it's not right... Yunge, I'm very tired, I can't talk anymore, I... I'll take a rest." Yun Ge's tears rolled down his cheeks one after another, "I still want to hear it, you continue to talk, we will soon walk out of the valley, I have already seen the mountain wall, there must be a cave there." He was already very tired, but his Yun Ge said he still wanted to listen. "He had a sworn brother, met a very good...very good adoptive father, learned a lot... accidentally discovered...the adoptive father knew Little Lark, he was very careful... very careful to inquire The news of the lark...in the lark's heart, he never knew his existence...never knew of his existence..." Meng Jue smiled, "but he knows every place the lark flies...he went to He thought he didn't care about the marriage proposal at Lark's house, but he was so nervous, afraid that he was not outstanding enough to let Lark look at him, but Lark refused to see him, so he flew away... So he just Chasing the larks..." In the chaos, thinking became more and more difficult, only to feel that everything turned into a cloud of black mist, rolling him into the darkness. "Meng Jue! Meng Jue! You promised me that you wouldn't sleep!" She shook his head vigorously, cold water droplets hit his face, and the black mist suddenly dissipated a bit. "I won't sleep, I won't sleep, I won't sleep..." He murmured to himself over and over again, but he couldn't open his eyes no matter what. His body was cold, but his forehead was hot.Without food or medicine, his body has no strength to fight the severe cold and serious injury. Yun Ge picked him up and climbed up the mountain. Although no cave was found, there happened to be several boulders stacked on top of each other, forming a small hollow that could block the wind from three sides. She put him into the cave and hurriedly searched for dead branches. After a while, she came back with a pile of dead wood and withered branches. There are a lot of hairy chestnuts under it, I swept them all back, and we can roast chestnuts later." After the fire was built, Yun Ge hugged Meng Jue into her arms, "Meng Jue, open your mouth and eat something." She fed chestnuts into his mouth one by one, his lips trembled slightly, he had no strength at all Chewing and swallowing, there was only a vague sound, "No...sleep..." She went to feel his pulse, and the beating was gradually weakening. Like the prehistoric universe, there is no light around, only cold and pitch black.The pervasive black mist swirls to swallow everything.At this time, Meng Jue was struggling to maintain the last bit of sobriety in the Lingtai relying on his thoughts, but the black mist was getting worse and worse, and the last bit of sobriety was about to turn into powder and disperse into the darkness. Suddenly, a warm current broke through the black mist, gently protecting his last sobriety.The surroundings are still cold and dark, but this heat flow is like a small fortress, blocking the cold and darkness outside. A small voice rushed into his consciousness with the warm current, and it rang over and over again, "Meng Jue, you must not die! You must not leave me alone! You must not break your promise again. Let me run away, and I will never trust you again." He gradually smelled the smell of blood filling his nose, and felt warm liquid dripping into his mouth.Opening his eyes with difficulty, a figure gradually became clear from blur.There was a cut on her wrist, and the bright red liquid was dripping from her wrist into his mouth. He wanted to push her away, but there was no strength in his body, he could only watch the drops of bright red enter his body with her warmth. She shed tears, some tears hit his face, some fell on his lips. Tears slowly emerged from his eyes, and when the first tear fell silently, like the giant ax that Pangu split the universe, his brain trembled violently, and his mouth was suddenly filled with all kinds of tears. All sorts of weird flavors. Yes... yes... this is sweet! fishy... fishy smell... salty tears... And...astringent! The sense of taste, which has been blank and tasteless for more than ten years, seems to have tasted all the flavors of life in an instant. "Yun Ge, that's enough!" When she heard the voice, the tear-stained woman broke into a smile, smiled for a moment, but turned her back suddenly, and wiped away the tears in a hurry, while wrapping the wound with a handkerchief. She fed the peeled chestnuts to Meng Jue, and her eyes kept refusing to meet his sight, and kept wandering elsewhere.Meng Jue stared at her without blinking. The fragrance of chestnuts filled his nose and mouth, making him feel warm all over his body. After eating the roasted chestnuts, she took a branch to pull the chestnuts out of the fire, rolled them on the snow, turned her back to him and said, "I'll peel them for you to eat when they are cold." "Cloud song." Meng Jue called her, but she refused to turn her head, she just lowered her head and concentrated on handling the chestnuts. "Because of what my mother said before she left, I always thought that my mother wanted me to take revenge, but later... when I shook your shoulders and told you to come to me for revenge, I realized that my mother just wanted me to live, and she just wanted me to live. Give me a reason so that I can live in despair. The direction of her hometown she pointed at when she was dying is her real hope. She wants her son to gallop on the green grass under the blue sky and live a happy life. She Probably never wanted my son to be entangled in hatred." Yun Ge put a bunch of peeled chestnuts in his handkerchief, "Why are you telling me this? I'm not interested in listening!" He grabbed her hand, "When you came to me to ask your adoptive father to treat the emperor, I refused you outright, not because I refused, but because your adoptive father had passed away many years ago, and I would never be able to replace you." I did it. When I treated the emperor, I did my best. Even if my adoptive father is still alive, it is impossible to do better than me in terms of medical skills. There are some things that I am wrong, but the feeling in my heart, I only hope you can Be considerate." Yun Ge pulled his hand, but Meng Jue held it tightly and refused to let go, but his strength was too weak, so he could only watch Yun Ge's hand pull away from his palm. "You don't need to talk about these things anymore. Although I hate you, you have tried your best to treat him. I am still grateful to you." Yun Ge sat at the entrance of the cave, hugged her knees and looked outside, only leaving Meng Jue with a cold back.At some point, the snowflakes began to fall again, and the north wind made the campfire stronger and weaker. "Huo Guang first established Liu He as emperor, and then helped Liu Xun to ascend the throne. If Liu Fuling had a son, he would be a traitor who plotted to usurp the throne. No matter what, he would not let this child live. I didn't know you at the time. The relationship with Huo Guang, but even if you know it, what can you do? Huo Guang will definitely follow you and rely on you on matters that have nothing to do with the overall situation, but if it matters to the overall situation, he will never soften his heart. If you believe in Huo Guang, how can we? Here? No matter how powerful your brother's martial arts are, can he beat hundreds of thousands of Yulin battalions and the imperial army? Between the child and you, I can only choose you! I don't regret this matter. If I choose again, I will I still choose you. Ke Yunge, I beg you to forgive my choice. I can't erase the scars on your body, but please give me a chance so that I can accompany you to find the lost laughter." Even if he is down on the street, even if he is close to death, he still sneers at the sky rebelliously. For the first time in his life, he expresses his deep prayers with a heart that is as low as the dust. Only a silent and cold figure answered him. Heart, turned into dust in despair.The pain in the five internal organs was like being tortured by a cracked car. Amid a series of coughing sounds, a strong fishy sweetness gushed out of his mouth. The wind suddenly picked up, and the snow fell more quickly. The howling north wind swept the goose feather snow in the mountains and forests, Yun Ge picked up the saber and walked into the snowstorm, "You ate the chestnuts. I'll cut some firewood before the heavy snow falls." "Is it because I died just now that you will forgive me?" The indifferent voice came from a place that was out of reach for him. "If you die, I will not only hate you in this life, but also in the next life." Not long after Yun Ge went out, he ran back with a saber in his hand, "They actually came after them through the snow." Meng Jue immediately swept a cloud of snow onto the bonfire, and with the sound of "sizzling", the world went dark for an instant. "How far is it?" “就在山坡下，他们发现了我丢弃的木筏子，已经将四面包围。” 云歌的声音无比自责。可当时的情况，孟珏奄奄一息，她根本没有可能慢条斯理地藏好木筏子，再背孟珏上山。 孟珏微笑着，柔声说：“过来。” 云歌愣了下，走到他身边蹲下。 他将一个柔软的东西放在她手里，“过会儿我会吸引住他们的注意，你自己离开，没有了我，凭你的本事，在这荒山野林，他们奈何不了你。” 云歌看都没看的把东西扔回给他，提着军刀坐到了洞口。 “云歌，听话！你已经将我从山崖下救到此处，我们已经两不相欠。” 不管孟珏说什么，云歌只是沉默。 风雪中，士兵们彼此的叫声已经清晰可闻，此时，云歌即使想走恐怕也走不了了。 孟珏挣扎着向她爬去。 云歌怒声说：“你干什么，回去！” 孟珏抓住了她的胳膊，一双眼睛在黑暗中清亮如宝石，光辉熠熠，“云歌！” 云歌挣扎了下，竟没有甩脱他的手。 “我不需要你为我手染鲜血。” 他的另一只手中握着一只小小的葱绿珍珠绣鞋，上面缀着一颗龙眼大的珍珠，在黑暗中发着晶莹的光芒，云歌呆呆地看着那只绣鞋，早已遗忘的记忆模模糊糊地浮现在眼前。 毡帽拉落的瞬间，一头夹杂着无数银丝的长发直飘而下，桀骜不驯地张扬在风中。 “云歌，长安城的偶遇不是为了相逢，而是为了重逢！” 往事一幕幕，她心中是难言的酸楚。 人语声渐渐接近，有士兵高叫：“那边有几块大石，过去查一下。” 孟珏将军刀从云歌手中取出，握在了自己手里，挣扎着，挺直了身子，与云歌并肩而坐，对着外面。 北风发着“呜呜”地悲鸣声，狂乱地一次又一次打向乱石，似想将巨石推倒。 鹅毛般大的雪花，如同天宫塌裂后的残屑，“哗哗”地倾倒而下。 天地纷乱惨白，似乎下一瞬就要天倾倒、地陷落。 纵然天塌地裂，她为他孤身犯险，对他不离不弃，此生足矣！
