In late February, the south of the Yangtze River is already full of flowers, but in late February, Daqingshan is still covered with snow, and the temperature during the day is below zero, and it can even reach more than ten degrees below zero at night, which is quite cold.

It was noon, the sun was shining, from the sky bird's eye view, only to see the Daqingshan Mountains peaks and peaks, like a white steamed bun, part of the sunny slopes have melted the snow, revealing dark rocks, the trees in the mountains are still bare, and the snow can occasionally see the marks left by animals.

At this time, there were three people trudging through the great green mountains, wearing thick cotton clothes and trousers, using tree branches as crutches, and struggling to climb a hillside.

These three people are all sturdy men, the leader is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, estimated to be nearly one meter nine, with a striped tiger skin around his waist, a bow and arrow at his waist, and his eyes are very strong, and the other two also carry weapons, one of them always shows two very distinctive front teeth.

These three people are the villagers sent by Xue Bingxin to Daqingshan to find the Shenji Battalion, the tall man at the head is called Liu Dali, and the one who shows his two front teeth at all times is Ma Liu's kid, nicknamed Da Panya, and the third man is called Liu San.

Liu Dali was originally a hunter in Yulin Town, and was later taken captive by the Tartars to Bansheng City as a Han slave. Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong rescued Liu Dali when they led the 2,000 Shenji Battalion to destroy Bansheng City, and after that, Liu Dali fled south with 5,000 Hannu, and met Xue Bingxin and others on the bank of Lingshui, and finally joined the cottage and became the fifth master of the cottage.

Because Liu Dali was originally an Orion, experienced and knew how to walk in the mountains in the wild, and his martial arts and archery skills were good, so as soon as spring began this year, Xue Bingxin sent him to lead Ma Liu and Liu San to Daqing Mountain to find the whereabouts of the Shenji Battalion.

In addition, Liu Dali knows Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, so he is undoubtedly the most suitable leader, and Liu San often disguises himself as a merchant to enter the territory of Tartar to find out the news, is familiar with the road, and is proficient in Tatar, Li Yingjun's whereabouts were found by him, so he was also selected, as for Da Panya Ma Liu, although this kid has a lot of bad breath, he is still clever, and he is also competent as a logistician.

Since the beginning of February, the trio of Liu Dali, Liu San and Ma Liu left the cottage and set off for Daqingshan, under the guidance of Liu San, the three of them successfully passed through the territory of Tatar and came to the foot of Daqingshan.

However, Liu Dali and the three of them searched in Daqing Mountain for half a month, but they failed to find any trace of the Shenji Battalion, and at this time they had gone deep into the depths of Daqing Mountain, and still found nothing.

Ma Liu, who was in charge of carrying dry food and pots and pans, was so tired that he opened his mouth and gasped, and his two front teeth shimmered enamel in the sun.

The goods said reluctantly: "Five masters, we have been looking in the mountains for more than half a month, and we have not found any clues...... Alas, I can't climb anymore, let's rest for a while! ”

After Ma Liu finished speaking, he threw the burden on the snow and sat down, Liu San also found a bare mountain rock nearby and sat down, and said with a smile: "Five masters, let's rest first, I can't come in a hurry anyway." ”

"That's it, it's just a group of officers and soldiers, their life and death are related to Lao Tzu's, why should we go to find it." Ma Liu pouted.

Liu Dali frowned, he was originally an Orion, he was not a bandit like Liu San and Ma Liu, and he did not experience the incident of the officers and soldiers encircling and suppressing Heitai Mountain, so he did not have much hostility towards the officers and soldiers, on the contrary, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong led the army to raid Bansheng City and saved all the enslaved Han slaves, including him Liu Dali, so Liu Dali was mostly grateful to the officers and soldiers.

Moreover, Liu Dali was very upset about the courage of the Shenji Battalion to enter the hinterland of the Tartars with only 2,000 people, and the strength of the Shenji Battalion completely subverted his perception of the officers and soldiers, especially when he heard that the Shenji Battalion was crisscrossing the territory of the Tartars, and even killed the tribal leader of Ordos, Mai Ligen Jinong, Liu Dali's blood was boiling.

Therefore, this time he was ordered by the big boss to sneak into Daqingshan to find the whereabouts of the Shenji Battalion, Liu Dali was very happy, and he also tried his best to find it during this time, I hope this heroic team can create a miracle and survive in the icy and snowy mountains!

Liu San sat on the rock, nibbling on the dry food, and said: "Five masters, the dry food we brought is almost exhausted, at most we will find two more days, and we will definitely go out of the mountain after two days, so we can't delay any longer!" ”

Liu Dali shook his head and said: "It's spring, and there are more wild animals in the mountains, let's hunt and look for it, it should be able to last for a while, the Shenji battalion is all cavalry, when the weather is warmer, the ice and snow in the mountains have almost melted, and they will definitely come out to move." ”

Ma Liu said disapprenously: "Fifth master, do you still think those officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion can live?" The ice and snow in this big green mountain, lack of food and clothing, and there were a few white snows before the New Year, and the Qianlai people in the Shenji Battalion froze to death even if they didn't starve to death, even if we found them, we would just collect the corpses for them, just the three of us collected the corpses for the Qianlai people, and the work could not be done until the Year of the Monkey. ”

Liu Dali's face sank, and he said angrily: "Lao Tzu's life was rescued by the Shenji, and now the thousands of brothers in the village were also rescued by the Shenji Battalion at the beginning, and even the food, weapons, horses, cattle and sheep and other materials we brought back were also captured by the Shenji Battalion.

Although Lao Tzu has not read any books, he also knows the truth of knowing the grace of the newspaper, Da Banya, if you kid don't want to continue looking for it, go back to the cottage for Lao Tzu now. ”

Ma Liu was scolded by Liu Dali, his face was swollen red, and he said curtly: "Five masters, I didn't say I wanted to go back!" ”

Liu San also looked unnatural at this time, looking for more than half a month, in fact, he was tired of it, like Ma Liu, he had already retreated in his heart, but at this time he was scolded by Liu Dali, but he felt that it was indeed a bit unkind not to continue looking for it at this time, after all, the cottage did rely on the materials brought by Liu Dali and others to survive this cold winter, and it was very nourishing, at least there was no shortage of meat.

"Five masters, you dissipate your anger, Ma Liu, this kid just has a bad mouth." Liu San threw the water bladder to Liu Sanli and said with a smile.

Liu Dali took the water bladder and was about to drink, suddenly his face changed slightly, and he quickly threw away the water bladder and pulled out the waist knife, Liu San and Ma Liu were startled, and thought that Liu Dali had turned his face, but they soon realized that something was wrong, and following Liu Dali's gaze, the two of them instantly changed their complexions!
