Rushing up

While they were talking, Miao Peilan had thrown all three bodies into the river. Apart from the one injured in the valley, the four war horses were left to run back while the chaos was in chaos. (Qihang Novel~ Read novel online) Miao Peilan pointed to the injured war horse in the valley and said, "What should I do with this horse?"

Zuo Shaoyang said: "This is the best food. Kill him, cut the meat off and hide it. We will transport it back when we pick the herbs back. - Move faster, those war horses will run back, and I am worried that the enemy will come to check the situation soon."

Li Dazhuang said: "Okay, I'll do it."

He was about to go down the river valley, but Miao Peilan's face changed and she said, "It's too late, the enemy has arrived."

Zuo Shaoyang was shocked and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard the sound of horse hooves roaring. He hurriedly said: "Go uphill and hide quickly."

Miao Peilan picked up a pair of bows and arrows on the ground, carried a basket on her back, and supported Zuo Shaoyang with Li Dazhuang, climbed up the hillside, and entered the woods.

As soon as I got into the woods, I heard the sound of horse hooves on the official road below, and someone shouted: "There is our horse below. I fell and injured it. It should be here."

"Search everywhere"

Hearing this, Zuo Shaoyang and his team climbed up the mountain with no chance. Then they heard the enemy below shouting: "There are footprints on the hillside."

"Chasing may be the enemy that hurts our brothers, chase them and tear them to pieces."

Miao Peilan hurriedly stood up and looked down, but it turned out that the trees on the hillside were dense, covering the sunlight, and the snow below was difficult to melt, and the snow was very deep. They climbed up in a panic, leaving a string of footprints on the ground.

Miao Peilan handed the basket and the bow and arrow to Li Dazhuang, bent down and carried Zuo Shaoyang on his back, and climbed up the mountain with no chance. Although Li Dazhuang was a man, she was not as quick as her movements. She followed behind her breathlessly, falling further and further, Miao Peilan had to stop and wait for him to come up, and grabbed him with one hand to climb up the mountain.

She pulled one by one on her back, and ran upwards in the snow with deep and shallow legs. The speed was still very fast. The enemy troops tracking down were falling down, and the sound gradually became smaller and in the end she couldn't hear it. Miao Peilan still did not stop and crawled up with gasps.

Seeing that he had climbed halfway up the mountain, Zuo Shaoyang remembered what the officer said when he left the city. The enemy guarded the mountains. For the people who were over halfway up the mountain and tried to cross the mountain and escape, the enemy would shoot arrows and kill them. He said anxiously: "Perlan, don't go up. There are enemies on it. First step back and step down the original footprints. When you hear the sound of the enemy, go horizontally towards Guiguling. Brother Li, who is going to collect herbs, sweep the footprints on the ground with pine branches behind, so that the enemy will not find us."

Miao Peilan hurriedly agreed, and Li Dazhuang and Li carefully stepped backwards and slowly retreated down the mountain. After a while, they faintly heard the enemy troops chasing down the mountain shouting: "I saw you, come out quickly, otherwise you will shoot an arrow." "Get out quickly and surrender quickly."

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said, "Okay, let's walk sideways, Brother Li swept away his footprints."

Miao Peilan walked horizontally towards Guiguling with Zuo Shaoyang on his back. Li Dazhuang picked up a pine branch and swept off the footprints on the ground from behind. He walked horizontally and couldn't hear the enemy's voice. Zuo Shaoyang said, "Okay, Peilan, the enemy can't find us now. Let me down and I'll go by myself."

Although Miao Peilan was very strong, she climbed up the hill with Zuo Shaoyang who was more than 100 kilograms and ran so far, she was still so tired that she was panting and weak. Hearing this, she put him down and helped him continue walking horizontally.

After walking a while, I saw honeysuckle. Sure enough, I was covered with mountains and fields.

They began to look for fallen flowers. Because the flowers have not yet bloomed, but there are many withered flowers that have fallen on the ground before, some fell into cracks in stones or scraped under the rocks, avoiding the sun and rain, and withering. Although this kind of flowers have withered, it is better than the detoxification effect of gold and silver vines.

Honeysuckle was everywhere on the mountain, and enough was collected soon. Then Zuo Shaoyang began to look for other medicinal materials he needed.

This Guiguling is really a treasure house of medicinal herbs. I soon found the needed medicines such as half-branch lotus, white flower snake tongue herbs, etc., but the purple-backed Tiankongzi growing on the mountain was missing. This medicine grows on a mountain with an altitude of 1,000 to 4,000 meters. It seems that I can only climb this Guigu Peak.

Guigu Peak can already be seen from afar, and as expected, half of the mountain peak is hidden in the clouds and mist. It is very steep,

Zuo Shaoyang looked up at the mountain, sighed, and said to Li Dazhuang: "It will take at least one day to climb up the mountain and then go down. Brother Li, you bring the medicine you collected first. I am worried that Miss Cao'er's illness will not be able to survive tonight. Miss Cao'er's medicine is already complete, so when you go back, my father will give it to Miss Cao'er. Perlan and I climbed Guigu Peak to pick purple-backed Tiankongzi, and we probably will have to wait until tomorrow morning to return to the city. Miss Qiao'er's wound has purified and is not in danger of life yet. If you give the medicine you collected now, you should first relieve the purulent. "

Li Dazhuang said: "I'd better accompany the young master to climb the mountain..."

"You are too slow, and you can't be as fast as Perrin's back on me. If you encounter an enemy, Perrin has to take care of us. It's better to bring the medicine back first. Perrin only takes care of me, and it will be relatively easier to encounter an enemy, and it's easier to hide if there are few people."

Li Dazhuang felt a little embarrassed: "Okay, I'll take the medicine back first. Master, Perlan, you must be careful."

Zuo Shaoyang said: "You must be careful too. Don't panic when encountering an enemy, and don't fight hard. You just said that you were lost and want to return to the city. The enemy generally won't shoot and kill the people."

"Okay." Li Dazhuang agreed and went down the mountain with a basket of herbs on his back.

Zuo Shaoyang hid his crutch in the snow and said, "This thing cannot be used anymore. It is too conspicuous. It aroused the enemy's suspicion just now. Just help him walk. If we encounter an enemy, don't talk or pretend to be mute, just to prevent the enemy from hearing your female voice. Moreover, don't take action unless you have to."

Miao Peilan agreed and supported Zuo Shaoyang with a basket on his back. The two of them began to climb towards Guigu Peak.

After crawling for a while, suddenly, I heard someone in front of me shouting, "What are you doing?"

The two were shocked and looked up quickly. They saw three enemy troops standing opposite each other, all of whom were bent their bows and arrows aimed at them. It turned out to be the enemy's patrol team.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't dare to say that he was a young doctor to collect herbs. He immediately raised his hands and said with a bitter face: "Don't shoot arrows, we are ordinary people who fled. We have nothing to eat in the city and are almost starving to death. I want to go out and escape. How can you do it, let us go?"

"No one is allowed to go there, go back immediately, otherwise you will shoot an arrow." The three of them pulled out their bows and arrows.

The two sides were more than ten steps away, and there was no way to attack, so they could only think of other ways. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go back immediately and don't shoot arrows."

As he said that, he held Miao Peilan's shoulder and walked slowly down the mountain.

After walking for a while, Zuo Shaoyang looked back and was probably one arrow away from those enemy posts. He whispered to Miao Peilan: "You take the basket and I will carry it, and then you will carry it on me. The enemy posts are not very dense, and there is a gap between the two posts. Let's rush up from here, probably the gap between the enemy posts. Don't stop, just rush up the two sides, the distance is almost one arrow far away, and it is difficult to hit us. Even if you shoot, it's not too strong. Don't be afraid. If you are fast, we will compete with them to climb up the mountain."

"Okay" Miao Peilan took a deep breath and climbed up the mountain with Zuo Shaoyang on his back. He had just rushed up a while when he heard the enemy's stern scolding from afar: "Stop, stop and shoot arrows."

Zuo Shaoyang whispered to Miao Peilan: "Don't stop, speed up." He shouted loudly: "Don't shoot arrows, we are a detailed work sent to the yamen. We need to report an emergency, don't shoot arrows."

An archer was a little stunned, put down his bow and arrow and turned around and said, "It's ours." Another archer said, "Search first and then talk, - Hello, stop."

Zuo Shaoyang shouted: "No, we have urgent matters to report, we can't wait..."

While speaking, Miao Peilan increased her speed as fast as possible and rushed to the top in a blink of an eye.

The soldier finally came over and shouted: "They are unwilling to stop shooting the arrow. They are definitely not ours. Send the arrow quickly."

Then, several sharp arrows flew over and landed several feet away from them. The two sides were almost apart, and Miao Peilan was very fast and had already exceeded the range of the bow and arrow while speaking.

At this moment, the enemy troops in front of the left also found them and shouted loudly to stop. Zuo Shaoyang repeated the same trick and shouted that he would come back to report the situation. This time the enemy quickly reacted and ordered arrows to be fired, but Miao Peilan was very fast, and the distance between the two sides was almost at the farthest range of the bow and arrow. In addition, with the forest blocking, most of the enemy archers' arrows were blocked by the trees. Those who were not blocked fell before they could hit their sides.

The enemy shouted and chased him up. Zuo Shaoyang kept holding the longbow in his hand. This bow was only used by ordinary soldiers, and the force required was not too high. He pulled the bow for a full moon and turned around and shouted: "Look at the arrow" and shot it.

The arrow they picked up was a white feather, and after it was shot, it carried a white light.

Zuo Shaoyang had never learned to shoot archery, and the two sides were a hundred steps apart, so they naturally couldn't shoot accurately. However, he shot from top to bottom, and the arrow went like a rainbow. Although the arrow was several feet above the enemy's head, a leaf was swept down, and the snow fell on the trees. The pursuers below were startled and shouted: "Be careful, this guy has a bow and arrow."

The pursuit army slowed down significantly and was chasing up with trees. The reason why Zuo Shaoyang shouted loudly was that he hoped that the enemy knew that he had bows and arrows and did not dare to approach too much.
