Deep in the snow-covered forest, a thick layer of snow had already clung to the tent. Compared to the bone-chilling cold outside the tent, the inside of the tent was exceptionally warm because of the red-hot cast iron stove.

On the sled covered with thick bearskin, Wei Ran, who had taken off his shoes and was lying down, did not feel sleepy. Instead, he continued to play with the knife given by Hu Bazhi that he had just found in his boot.

Thinking about the purpose of that Oroqen girl.

From time to time, he would raise his ski pole and poke the tent fabric above his head to prevent the snow above from being too thick and crushing the tent.

Not only that, but from time to time, he would go out for a walk to check on the condition of the mule to prevent it from freezing to death, or to add more firewood to the cast iron stove.

As for the coal in the airdrop box, he was reluctant to burn it. With the urine of his living ancestor, who knows when he would have to rely on that coal to save his life.

Although the night was a bit busy and he couldn't sleep well at all, Wei Ran was extremely satisfied to be able to eat well and sleep warmly.

After a long night's sleep, Wei Ran saw that the wind and snow outside had stopped, so he immediately packed up his things and transferred all the remaining charcoal fire to the brazier.

It wasn't until he shouted at the mule to start running again that he opened the lunch box that still contained two pieces of meat, half a bowl of soup, and half a pancake from last night's meal. He watched the brazier on the sledge and ate the free food slowly.

breakfast.

Before he could fill his stomach, he noticed that there was a rut mark and two rows of reindeer hoof prints on the mountain road.

It must be the girl I had sex with last night...

Wei Ran muttered secretly, picked up the torn pancake with chopsticks and pressed it on the bottom of the lunch box. He waited until the pancake was filled with thick soup with floating oil, then picked it up again and put it into his mouth.

.

Less than a kilometer away, the Oroqen girl who had robbed Weiran last night was eating the same breakfast. The only difference was that she did not have exquisite knives and chopsticks, but only two temporarily cut birch branches as chopsticks.

Of course, compared to Wei Ran, who was quite leisurely, this young girl was more cautious. Even while eating while on the road, her beautiful dark eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, but rarely

Take a look at the food that goes into your mouth.

In this way, from morning to noon, and from noon to evening, until the sky turned dark again and the wind and snow began to blow, Wei Ran, who had been chasing the sledge marks, became more and more familiar with the surrounding environment.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go directly to the abandoned mine in Langcaozigou to look for clues, a sudden gunshot sounded in the cold wind blowing in front of him!

Fighting again?

Wei Ran was startled. After a brief hesitation, he immediately shouted to the mule to get into the woods and stop!

Wei Ran put on his skis as quickly as possible, held his ski poles and rushed towards the direction where the sound of the crossfire came from.

Before I could see anyone, a small sledge pulled by two reindeer ran towards me.

What is worrying is that although there are some things on the sledge, there is no one there. Not only that, after the gunshot in front, there was no more movement.

You won't kill that girl with one shot...

Wei Ran, who was secretly aware of something bad, took a few steps, circled around to meet the oncoming sledge, and while grabbing the sledge, he turned around, put away his skis and poles, and jumped up.

When he pulled the reins to make the two reindeer stop, he immediately confirmed through the sack containing fodder and the three lunch boxes on the sledge that these belonged to the girl last night.

Looking around, he ordered the reindeer to start running again and headed straight to the forest not far away. Then he tied the reindeer to a birch tree as quickly as possible. He stepped on the skis again and rushed towards the place where the gun had just been fired.

direction of sound.

He hurriedly and slowly chased forward for about five minutes. He also vaguely saw in the wind and snow that there were two people on skis in front of him trying to use a wooden pole to tie up a small figure with a big belly like a pig.

Lifting it up, he could even hear the two people talking wantonly and excitedly.

Instead of rushing forward in a hurry, Wei Ran carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then climbed into the forest on his skis, using the cover of the trees to close the distance between the two parties.

Finding the right moment, Wei Ran shouted out the slang he had learned, "Ancestor Bodhidharma is mighty!"

This voice frightened the two people carrying the girl. Almost subconsciously, they stopped and released the lifting pole in their hands, took out the Spanish drum from their waists, and looked warily towards the forest.

Wei Ran came slowly out on his skis.

Following Hu Bazhi's example, he clasped his fist and raised it over his left shoulder and weighed it three times. Wei Ran laughed and took off the dog-skin hat on his head and threw it at his feet. Then he took off the cannon box and threw it on the hat at his feet, flipping it up with both hands.

He opened his dog fur coat and spun around.

His active display of kindness immediately made the two people relax their vigilance. One of them even put the box cannon in his hand on his belt again, also clasped his fist over his left shoulder and weighed it, and said an arrogant words in a friendly manner, "Go out."

When you are out wandering around, what kind of gods will come to visit you?"

Which sentence to use?

Wei Ran muttered something while his mind was spinning, and a cliche he heard from Hu Bazhi came out of his mouth, "A flower hangs in the sky in the northwest, and the green forests in the world are one family."

"A friend?"

"It's a friend!"

Wei Ran showed a simple and honest expression and continued, "If you don't kiss people, you will kiss each other at the handle of the gun; if you don't kiss at the handle of the gun, you will still kiss at the top of the mountain!"

"Men, let's report that we are going to meet you!" said the bandit who was still holding a gun in his other hand. Not only did he have a gun in his hand, he also carried a horse with four rings wrapped in rags and animal skins on his shoulders.

"Boil the dry pot vines," Wei Ran replied with a smile.

"It turns out to be Brother Hu! TOEFL TOEFL! I wonder which Honghua Pavilion you are worshiping at?" the man who put away the gun asked with his fists clasped.

"I heard that Sun Da is in charge of the plate coding. I want to ask Sun Da to be in charge of the plate... I can't make it up anymore!"

Wei Ran, who was mid-sentence, was already close enough to the person who had put away the gun. He pushed forward and grabbed his arm that was still clasped, twisting and tugging, and the person had already hid behind him!

"Bang!"

Before the other bandit could react, Wei Ran already held a box cannon in his left hand, stretched out from the waist of the bandit in front of him, and pulled the trigger towards the bandit who was very close to the opposite side!

"Crack!"

Before the bullet casing could hit the ground, Wei Ran, who put the gun back into the metal book, had already hugged the bandit in front of him and violently smashed his brain, breaking his spine skillfully.

Holding the body in front of him, he looked around and saw that no other bandits appeared around him. Then he pushed down the body in his arms and looked at the girl who was tied up very strongly.

As he got closer, he also noticed that the girl not only had a torn sack on her head, but also seemed to have her mouth blocked.

Wei Ran did not rush to help her untie them, but first searched the two corpses one after another.

The weapons used by these two bandits were the Spanish drums used by his minions when Shopkeeper Cao was still alive.

On the other hand, the one whose neck he had just broken still had a three-handle box hidden in his arms.

Although the weapons are okay, these two people don't even have the Nine Dragon Belt on their bodies. They are obviously just minions.

After collecting the weapons of the two corpses and taking off an extra pair of skis, Wei Ran directly cleared the snow on the spot, buried the two corpses, and used his skis to smooth the snow and pat it firmly to prevent it from being blown out by the cold wind.

.

It wasn't until he finished taking care of his hands that he walked over to the girl who was tied up. He first pulled off the sack on her head, and then pulled out a towel stuffed in her mouth.

"Is it really you?" The young girl asked in astonishment, and then subconsciously looked around.

"Stop looking, those two have been buried. Also, I'm here to save you, not to kidnap you."

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken out the knife that Hu Bazhi had given him as a gift from his boot and cut the rope on the opponent's body, "You know how to use a fast horse, right?"

The girl first glanced at the food knife in Wei Ran's hand, then nodded and said, "Give me back the gun!"

"I'll give it to you later, leave with me first." Wei Ran said, pulling the other person up, and then took a step back.

The shrewish girl glared at Wei Ran and quickly tied the skis to her boots, "Gun..."

"Come with me"

Wei Ran didn't answer the question at all. After greeting the other party, he rushed directly into the forest on his skis.

After looking around, and subconsciously pinching the roe deer horn hat on her head, the girl muttered something and caught up with Wei Ran on her skis.

After leading the other party all the way to the reindeer sledge, Wei Ran said before the other party could speak, "Come with me on your sledge."

"gun..."

"I told you I'll give it to you later," Wei Ran said, and rushed out on his skis again.

Hearing this, the girl threw off the skis on her feet, sat on the reindeer sledge, shook the reins vigorously, and shouted at the two reindeer to run up and catch up with Wei Ran, who was riding alone on the skis.

By the way, she secretly took out a fancy-mouthed musket from the bundle of bedding tied to the sledge and loaded it with bullets.

Wei Ran naturally didn't know about this, but even if he knew it, he didn't take it seriously. He just stepped on his skis leisurely and found his mule sledge. After taking off his skis and getting on the sledge, he immediately shouted to the mule to change.

He started running in the direction.

The snow was not heavy enough at this time, and the origin of the girl was a mystery. Naturally, he couldn't take her straight to the abandoned mine. Moreover, a gunshot had just been fired here. Even if he wanted to ask, he would have to run far away first.

Under his leadership, the two sledges ran in tandem for more than an hour. It was not until the sky darkened completely and the snow became heavier that Wei Ran ordered the mules to stop in a leeward mountain col.

.

"Aren't you going to run away?" the Oroqen girl who had been chasing behind asked angrily.

"Come here and warm yourself up"

Wei Ran greeted him cheerfully and added a few pieces of firewood to the brazier.

"A gun..."

"Here you go, you look like you're picking at it, I don't care about your gun."

As Wei Ran said this, he picked up the horse-shaped four-ring that was casually placed on the sledge, and handed it over with the guard in hand.

"There is also a box cannon and three boxes."
