It is not safe to enter the mountain. Mongolian cavalry is unlikely to pursue them. They do not have to work hard for the people who flee sporadically. Their goal is not to kill everyone. It is not difficult to chase them. It is just to run a few more miles. Although the only advantage of the cavalry in the brigade after entering the mountain is that there are only more people left...

Zhu Da did not continue to whip the horse, but turned over and dismounted. He took out a few pieces of mixed bread from his arms and broke it and fed it to the mount. Then he took out the porcelain jar covered with cotton wool from the saddle, poured the honey in it on his hands, and then applied it to the abdomen of the mount, where it was dripping with blood from the spurs.

Honey has the effects of stopping bleeding and sterilizing, but it will have side effects over time. At this time, you can’t consider the long term, just maintain it.

He also treated Zhou Qingyun's mount the same way, and then sat on it with Zhou Qingyun who was still unconscious. The horse ran with a weight for less time and was relatively strong. Both Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo had said that when it was a critical moment of life and death, you must be calm and think of everything you should think of. If you are not careful, you will cause a disaster.

Although it was like a swearing to say "lucky" or "lucky" at this time, the fierce cavalry outside did not go into the mountains to pursue him. Zhu Da led Zhou Qingyun to ride a horse and run towards the salt cave.

The salt cave has been developed for nearly four years, but it is known that there are still no more than seven people in this salt cave. Even Mr. Li only has a vague suspicion. The Zhu family and Xiang family have hidden this very well, and even disguised it on the road. The mountain road fork seems to have reached the end, but when they move away the shrubs and hay, they find that another small road winds forward. There are horseshoe prints and wheelbarrow ruts on the road, but they are all very vague. It seems that it takes a long time, but in fact, it has to be dealt with specifically every time. The trouble is troublesome, but this bet of money for decades or even hundreds of years is worth it.

Zhou Qingyun did not wake up halfway. Although he was strong, at that critical moment, Zhu Da was not very responsible for exerting force. After knocking him unconscious, Zhu Da even worried that he would kill him directly.

After arriving near the salt cave, Zhu Da breathed a sigh of relief. This place is more hidden than on the road. In the past few years, Xiang Bo and Zhu Shitou have deliberately transplanted bushes around and watered and fertilized, which has led to the vegetation here much denser than before. It looks no different from ordinary mountain depressions. Only familiar people know that there is another mystery. There are Zhu Da’s contributions here. He has used those tips that have been around for more than 20 years, which are basically the illusion of vision.

After a few rounds, I came to the small house in front of the salt cave. This was a very neat adobe wooden house. It took Xiang Bo and Zhu Shitou nearly a year and a half to build it. The reason why it took so long was mainly to send materials hidden to the mountain.

Since the construction of this small house, Xiang Bo is willing to come here to live for a while even if he doesn't transport salt. The environment is good and quiet, with almost no people, and it is a paradise.

After arriving at the door, Zhu Da did not slap the door, but instead reached into the gap in the fence, touched a leather rope, pulled it twice, and the bell sounded faintly. After a while, he heard the door inside being pushed open, and Qin Qin's cheerful voice sounded: "Brother Zhu, Brother Qingyun, you are here!"

There was no panic in the tone of the ten-year-old girl. If her peers were left to live alone in the mountains, they would have been frightened and collapsed, but Qin Qin found it very interesting. This was related to the fact that the girl had experienced too many things. In addition, if someone directly patted the door, no one would welcome her. Qin Qin would run out of the yard from the tunnel and hid it in a hidden yard dozens of steps away. If Xiang Bozai was, she would come out of the tunnel and approached from behind with a knife to see who it was.

Qin Qin opened the door from inside, and as soon as she saw the scene outside the door, the joy and smile on her face froze. She saw Zhou Qingyun, who was held by Zhu Da, saw the bloody and bloody belly of the mount, and the redness and swelling on Zhu Da's face and other things.

"Brother Zhu, why are you crying...what happened..."

Standing in front of the door of this small courtyard, Zhu Da suddenly felt unable to control his tears, his vision became extremely blurred, and tears flowed out uncontrollably. He heard Qin Qin's inquiry and reached out to wipe it, but touched his cheek that was swollen. I don't know if it was a pain or something, which made the tears flow even harder.

Qin Qin and Zhu Da have known each other for several years. She always felt that although this brother is not a few years older than her, his words and deeds seem to be ten or twenty years older than her, and even as mature as her father. However, when she saw this today, Qin Qin was at a loss.

"Close, close the door." Zhu Da said this in a panic. He wanted to cry loudly, but he was still trying to control it. Now it was time to cry, so he would even scare Qin Qin.

After putting Zhou Qingyun on the earthen kang in the house, putting the horses on the simple stable, and after formally treating the wound, Zhu Da added the prepared grass before returning to the house.

The mountain hut is well stored, enough for five people to live a month. It is not easy to save so much supplies, but from the Zhu family's parents to Xiang Bo, they all support this. They understand this as a refuge. Since the days started, they have a strong sense of crisis.

"Brother Zhu, what happened?" Qin Qin looked at Zhu Da's mood stabilized and hurriedly asked.

Zhu Da was not going to hide anything and spoke. He didn't say anything in the first sentence. He opened his mouth again, and found that his voice was extremely hoarse. He had been silent since he came in and did not notice this situation.

"Mongols...the Tartars have entered, and have entered Baibao Village and New Village..."

"Tartars... the Mongolians on the grassland have entered?" Qin Qin asked in a daze, then widened her eyes. This incident was too incredible to her.

"Didn't you say this is the hinterland? Didn't your father say that you are relaxing now, but it will take some years to achieve results. How could this happen?"

No matter how smart a girl is, she is here and doesn’t pay attention to these things. She gets a little fragmented impression and concept.

"What should I do if the uncle and aunt are there? What should I do if my grandfather Xiang? What should I do if my sister Chunhua?" After asking the previous questions in a daze, the girl finally reacted and her voice became much sharper. These people were not relatives but better than relatives. The girl reacted very quickly.

Qin Qin's words made Zhu Da silent. He didn't know how to answer. Zhu Da suddenly felt that the people around him were ridiculous, but what was even more ridiculous was that he was the hinterland of Datong, but it took less than seven days to go to the border. Others were paralyzed by this short-term peace. With more than twenty years of experience and memory, he believed in the "hingle" and "peace". This is the border! This is the war zone! What peace is there!

"Brother Zhu, don't scare me, what's wrong with them..."

At this moment, Zhou Qingyun, who was lying on the side, woke up in a daze. Before he could understand the situation in front of him, he subconsciously said, "Why did you enter the mountain?" The next moment he turned over. Qin Qin, who was focused on Zhu Da, was startled. After seeing Zhou Qingyun wake up, he changed his target and asked: "Brother Qingyun, what's wrong with the village?"

Zhou Qingyun ignored Qin Qin, stood up and came to Zhu Da with red eyes, punched her, and shouted angrily: "You bastard, you are not afraid of death, we can save people, you are a coward with no eggs..."

He choked up after a few words. After Zhu Da was punched by him, he just stood up silently. Zhou Qingyun cursed and punched him again. Zhu Da reached out and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't save you anymore, we can't get there!"

This made Zhou Qingyun angry, and he waved his fists and yelled, and scolded: "If you can't save me, you will die together. You don't have Xiang Bo in your heart at all. You are cold-blooded beast, you don't have your parents in your heart at all. Just take care of yourself. When have you ever had someone else in your heart? You usually pretend to be good. When you are at such a life and death juncture, you will be exposed. What else is there in your eyes and heart!"

Under such an emotion, Zhou Qingyun's movements were not very organized, but he just kept hitting him. Zhu Da didn't block it. He was hit several times in a row and took two steps back. After hearing Zhou Qingyun's hissing, Zhu Da suddenly took action and grabbed Zhou Qingyun's arms, took a step back, and directly controlled Zhou Qingyun, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not move.

"Don't fight!" Qin Qin was so scared that she cried.

"I..." Zhu Da said, but found that he didn't know what to say next.

In a sense, Zhou Qingyun was actually not wrong. Zhu Da treated his parents in this life as his biological parents, but he had a sense of alienation that only he could know. Rather than being a flesh-and-blood family, it was not an elder relative with good relationships. Such awkwardness and weirdness, Zhu Shitou and Zhu Wangshi only felt that the child might grow up and would be better in the future, but Zhou Qingyun had a different feeling, including Xiang Bo. Once he became a master and apprentice in this era, the relationship was extraordinary, but Zhu Da has always maintained a close and respectful attitude, and as a friendly teacher, that's all.

After seeing the cavalry that was rushing towards him like a surging tide, I didn’t want to save people. Is it because I really couldn’t save him, or did I simply consider myself and give up that little possibility, is it selfish and cold-blooded? Zhu Da found that he couldn’t think clearly and could not explain clearly. The seemingly instinctive reaction at that time, whether there was a cold-blooded consideration, or not!

"Let me go! You coward! You are worthy..." Zhou Qingyun was still cursing.
