Chapter 49: Tracing the Valley
Three more every day, ask for collection.
The two said goodbye to the peasant family and entered the valley, the stream was clear, the stones were polished by the stream and became extremely smooth, urging the horse forward, the figure slowly disappeared with the clouds, the mountain also became steep, along the stream all the way forward, the sound of the water became more and more clear, and the reins were reined, and the war horse also stopped, bowed his head and sucked the spring water.
Zhao Kuo raised his eyes and looked at it, a majestic mountain, the mountain was steep and the trees were luxuriant, the upper end was shrouded in clouds and mist, and a wide stream of water flowed down from the top around the mountain, like a white heavenly river emerging from the clouds.
The war horse raised his head drunk, the water droplets kept flowing down the corners of his mouth, falling on the water and causing ripples, not appreciating, holding the reins to urge the horse forward, it didn't take long to finally see clearly, the water fell from a height, with the mountain constantly changing, and finally formed a waterfall that fell vertically from a height, reflecting the light of the sunset to show the brilliance of the Dao, I couldn't help but think of the sentence, "The flying stream goes straight down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days!" "It is not uncommon for the old man to admire the flowing water in the sky, nature is so magical, full of so many amazing scenery, the mountains get steeper and steeper, and finally become straight, and the waterfall falls into the waterhole below to stir up the water.
Qin Wan urged the horse to come closer, and her eyes showed joy, "It's really beautiful here, there is water in the mountains, there is fog in the water, there are people in the fog, a falling heavenly river, this is the place that the son is looking for!" ”
Zhao Kuo nodded, "It's good that Miss Qin likes it, after all, if you want to live here for a while, it will inevitably be boring and boring, and Zhao Kuo was still a little worried." ”
Qin Wan said in a low voice: "Being able to accompany Gongzi, Qin Wan is already content, how can she feel bored." ”
Green mountains, clouds, flowing water, beautiful women, Zhao Kuo couldn't help himself for a while, his eyes fell on Qin Wan's delicate little face, for some reason, as long as he saw it, he would think of a scene that happened in the present world, no one knew what happened after that night, maybe he no longer existed, but what would happen to Liu Qing, whether he also left, if so, it was his own fault.
She is too much like a person, a woman who she doesn't dare to think about or mention.
"Childe, what's wrong with Qin Wan's face?"
Zhao Kuo came to his senses and a smile appeared on his face, "It's nothing, but it's very similar to an old man that Gongzi knew before." ”
Qin Wan nodded, "When I met Gongzi in the ruined temple that day, I heard Gongzi mention it, and I thought that it must be Gongzi who wanted to live, so I made up such a reason, I didn't want Qin Wan to really be similar to someone Gongzi knew." ”
"Almost identical."
"If there is a chance, Wan'er would like to see her."
"There shouldn't be a chance."
Qin Wan was stunned, "Childe, she?" ”
Zhao Kuo's legs were lightly clamped, and the war horse slowly moved forward along the stream, "It's all in the past, and I don't want to mention it anymore." The two horses slowly approached, the water potential fell from a high place and stirred up a splash, the momentum was amazing, Qin Wan lowered her head and thought about her thoughts, the war horse was the most psychic, and stopped when she came closer, and in front of her was a deep pool, in which bursts of white gas came out.
Zhao Kuo people immediately checked the terrain, a pitch-black hole mouth appeared next to the waterfall, it should be a naturally formed stone cave, it is the most suitable for living, the one in front of him seems to be carefully prepared for himself, the palace competition is imminent, only half a year, strategy alone will not be able to gain a foothold in the Warring States Period, Zhao Ya's disdainful eyes, Zhao Dan's unintentional prompt, coupled with Lian Jin's provocation, all of them made Zhao Kuo firm in his belief and create a set of his own sword moves, the court competition is absolutely not allowed to fail, defeat Lian Jin, Completely trampled under his feet, Zhao Kuo wanted to prove his strength to make Zhao Ya completely see who was the most capable man.
"Tie up your horse and go inside." Zhao Kuo pointed to the stone cave with his hand, Qin Wan nodded, the war horse was tied to the tree on the side, the ground was covered with grass, eating alone, making a sound from time to time, the two figures slowly approached the stone cave, Qin Wan's steps accelerated, and her figure jumped over Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo saw gratitude in her eyes, and this was done entirely for herself, I saw Qin Wan's body leaning forward slightly, her right hand was on the hilt of the sword, a pair of eyes were extremely focused, her body slowly approached the entrance of the cave, and a stone under her feet kicked in, and there was no other sound from the echo inside.
Zhao Kuo saw it in his eyes, and didn't want this trick to ask for directions in this era, after all, all martial arts and strategies were summed up in the constant competition between human beings and the natural world.
Entering an unfamiliar environment, it is inevitable to encounter danger, and the qiē you do is completely out of consideration for survival.
The two of them slowly entered the dark hole, a pile of ashes on the ground attracted Zhao Kuo's attention, and a few white bones were scattered next to the ashes, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but change his expression, and stepped forward, someone had come here, and a bonfire was raised, as for the bones, they should be shot animals, and human bones are different from animals.
Qin Wan stepped forward, "The ashes are already damp, it should have been a while!" ”
Zhao Kuo nodded, "There must be many hunters hunting in the village we just passed by, and this pile of ashes should have been left behind when someone was hiding here from the wind and rain!" ”
"Why is Childe so sure?"
Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "There are a lot of animal skins hanging on the eaves of the farmhouse, which must be peeled off and dried for winter cold, so there is such a speculation." ”
"Childe is really careful, you can see so many things from these external things!"
"Go in and have a look."
The two of them continued to move forward, the space of the stone cave was not spacious, some places needed to bend to get through, and soon reached the end, several places kept dripping down, the ground was also damp, and there was green moss on the stones, Zhao Kuo checked that there were only a few dry places that could be used for rest.
"Be sure to light the fire outside at night, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is inevitable that wild beasts will be infested! As long as there is a fire in the wild, the beast will not dare to approach. ”
"Don't worry, Childe, Qin Wan will go on a horse and pick up some dry firewood by the way!"
Zhao Kuo nodded, "Be careful!" ”
Qin Wan walked out of the stone cave, heard the neighing of the war horse from a distance, Zhao Kuo couldn't help frowning, this sound is undoubtedly a time bomb, it will attract the beast at any time, no war horse once there is something to return to Handan to rely on the strength of the feet It takes three days, don't care so much first, carefully check the stone cave, it is safe, come to the outside of the stone cave, the waterfall rushes down, and the power of the water smashes on the smooth rock below, and suddenly sets off waves.
"How can you realize a sword move that can be changed at will like water, and it is endless!"
Zhao Kuo raised his head, and a waterfall rushed down again, as the speed of the mountain became faster and faster, the moment it touched the rock, the power implied in it exploded at the same time, if he stood in front of him and made a sword, he could instantly hit several scattered waterlines, three, or four.
Time passed slowly, the last trace of afterglow fell, and the stone cave also became dim, Qin Wan returned, and the war horses each carried two bundles of dry firewood.
