The footsteps are getting closer and closer, but not fast, but sometimes slow and sometimes tight, and occasionally stop and pause for a while, for some unknown reason.

Yi Yin couldn't hold back his curiosity, and stuck out his little head from behind Wei Zhao, wanting to see what happened, but he gently patted it back.

There is only one chasing soldier, which seems a bit strange, but Tianmenling has a lot of forks, and no one can guarantee that he has no companions nearby, and maybe he will act separately.

Wei Zhao was captured five years ago, and Helian drank the royal family's secret medicine and banned all martial arts. In fact, according to Helianzhuo's original intention, he wanted to directly abolish Wei Zhao's martial arts, but the witch doctor warned him that this move might kill Wei Zhao, so he changed his mind.

The secret medicine is not a one-time-for-all, it needs to be taken every six months to enhance the effect. Helianzhuo was extremely worried about Wei Zhao, and he simply asked him to take medicine once every three months, and would never give him a chance to recover his martial arts.

Wei Zhao had a cousin with excellent medical skills, named Sun Ye, who studied under the medical fairy Duanmu Hui. When Wei Zhao was young, he and his good friend Jun Qing were forced by Sun Ye to study medicine. Unfortunately, he was not interested in this. He was only interested in killing people with invisible poisons.

Therefore, Wei Zhao researched the secret medicine for his martial arts for many years, and only got a little bit of fur, and he couldn't get the corresponding medicinal materials, so he couldn't solve it. In the end, he reluctantly relied on fighting poison with poison and bloodletting a lot to make the medicine work. Went for small portions.

Wei Zhao is talented and intelligent, with excellent roots, and is extremely talented in martial arts. In his youth, he was even compared with the Marquis of Zhaoyang. Under normal circumstances, his two or three successes are enough to sweep most of the so-called masters.

However, last night, Wei Zhao had just had a miscarriage, when he was at his weakest, and he could hardly stand still. He was not sure that he would definitely be able to defeat the pursuers.

If the person who came was sent by Helian Zhuo, no matter the victory or defeat, Yi Yin would always have a chance. If he was a person from the Dalian clan, unless he could defeat the opponent, their father and son would have to be left in the wilderness.

Wei Zhaoqiang cheered up, his eyes fixed on the direction of the voice, and his face was grim.

After a long time, a young man dressed in commoner clothes, walking on straw sandals, and carrying a machete made of fine iron on his back finally came into his sight.

Although the clothes were simple, Wei Zhao could see at a glance that it was the clothes of the Han people, not the people of Fuyu, and his spirit was instantly lifted.

Yi Yin stuck his head out and was very happy to see the young man's clothes. He was able to meet Han people here, which showed that they were not very far from the border of Dayan.

The young man was a little surprised when he saw Wei Zhao and Yi Yin, who were ragged and unkempt. He stood there for a while, before taking two steps forward and asking, "Where did you two come from? Where are you going? Is there anything I need help with?"

Wei Zhao glanced at him, his eyes full of vigilance, and his hands subconsciously hugged Yi Yin tighter.

What he encountered was not a chasing soldier, but a passerby, which made Wei Zhao in a good mood. Who knew that passers-by were so enthusiastic, it made him feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Wei Zhao's delay, the young man didn't get angry, but said cheerfully: "Don't be afraid, the two of you are not bad people. When you go out, no one will encounter any trouble. It is right to help each other."

Wei Zhao still didn't speak, just looked at him carefully. Seeing the young man's clear eyes and calm expression, Yi Yin had a good impression of him, so he said, "Big brother, Daddy and I are lost."

The young man immediately asked, "Little brother, is this your first time entering Tianmen Ridge?"

Yi Yin nodded. Although he knew that he was going in the direction of Feiyi Peak, he and Wei Zhaozhen didn't know the exact route, nor did he know how many wrongful paths they had taken.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly said: "Tianmenling Mountain is high and densely forested, and there are beasts infested, not to mention that the people who entered the mountain for the first time are experienced old hunters, and there are some who can't get out, like my uncle, last year. He disappeared while hunting in the mountains, and no bones have been found so far."

Yi Yin was horrified when he heard the words, but he and Wei Zhao were quite lucky. Although they had walked all the way hard, they did not run into any ferocious beasts that they could not deal with.

Wei Zhao saw the young man's expression of grief, which did not seem to be a fake, and said solemnly: "People can't be resurrected from the dead, please also express my condolences." In places like Tianmenling, they were captured by wild beasts for food, or fell off a cliff. Where can the body be recovered.

The young man waved his hand and said he didn't mind: "Life and death are fate, success or failure is in the sky, this is what my uncle loved to say when he was alive. I started hunting with my uncle into the mountains when I was ten years old, and I am very familiar with Tianmenling. Where are you going? Can I give you a ride?"

Wei Zhao told half-truths about their origins, saying that they were from Yanzhou who moved to Youzhou in the forty years of Yongjia’s liberation. They became slaves of Fuyu people when Youzhou fell last year. Word.

A few days ago, Tie Le and Fuyu had a conflict on the grassland. The two sides fought a lot, and their guards were no longer as strict as they used to be. They took the opportunity to escape and wanted to cross Tianmenling back to Dayan, but they didn't want to get lost. .

The young man did not doubt Wei Zhao's statement, but exclaimed: "The first time you enter Tianmenling, you can walk to the vicinity of Feiyi Peak, which is very smooth, but you are lucky to meet me."

"How do you say this?" Wei Zhao asked in confusion. As long as they didn't encounter chasing soldiers, they would always be able to walk out of Tianmen Mountain with Feiyi Peak as a reference. It didn't seem to matter whether they encountered this young man.

The young man raised his eyebrows with a smile and said proudly: "You don't know, the terrain in this area is famous for ghosts hitting the wall, even walking along Feiyi Peak, or going around in circles, if I guess correctly , you must have turned around a lot."

Yiyin Khanyan, it turns out that having a reference doesn't work, no wonder they still feel that Feiyi Peak is out of reach after walking for several days.

The young man continued: "I said, I am very familiar with Tianmenling, and I can take you out. But the place we are staying now is in the territory of Fuyu, and I usually don't come here. I just chased a white tiger a few days ago, I just chased across the border and chased here."

"White Tiger? Where is it?" Yi Yin looked around curiously. Originally, Wei Yang also kept a white tiger in the palace, it was majestic and cute, he liked it.

The young man spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't know, I ran away early. If you are lucky, you can meet me, otherwise, you may not be able to transfer for another half a month. go out."

Wei Zhao thought about it for a while, this young man he didn't know really had no reason to hurt himself and Yi Yin, so he cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, I would like to thank this strong man." With his current body, how can he survive in the mountains? Over half a month.

"You're welcome!" The young man waved his hand cheerfully, "My name is Huo Qingyang, you can just call me by my name, a strong man or something, it sounds weird."

Yi Yin was as good as he was, and changed his words: "Brother Qingyang, thank you! You are such a good person!" Yi Yin almost cried with joy when he was in a desperate situation. It's great, Wei Zhao finally doesn't have to go back to the tragic fate of his previous life.

Huo Qingyang nodded unceremoniously, "Of course I'm a good person!" He rubbed Yi Yin's messy head, making his already messy hair even more messy.

Yi Yin didn't like being kneaded and tried to dodge back, but Huo Qingyang's hands were so strong that he couldn't dodge at all, so he could only stick out his tongue helplessly.

Huo Qingyang ignored Yi Yin's small gestures and continued: "My home is in the border town, just go south and walk out of Tianmen Ridge. I can take you to Yunzhou."

Wei Zhao thanked Huo Qingyang, and was about to take Yi Yin's hand and walk with him, when suddenly his body became weak, and he fell backwards in the dark.

Yi Yin hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but he was helpless and weak. Not only could he not be able to help Wei Zhao, but he almost fell. It was Huo Qingyang who was quick-witted, and shot in time to stabilize Wei Zhao and prevent him from falling to the ground.

Seeing that Wei Zhao's face was really ugly, Huo Qingyang couldn't figure out what was going on, so he asked Yi Yin, "Little guy, what's wrong with your father?"

Yi Yin couldn't elaborate, so he could only vaguely say that it might be because he had been traveling too hard recently and didn't have a good rest, so he felt uncomfortable.

Huo Qingyang was dubious, and he felt Wei Zhao's pulse, but he couldn't figure out anything, but seeing that his breathing was still stable, he reluctantly accepted Yi Yin's words.

"Brother Qingyang, what should we do now?" For some reason, Yi Yin always felt that Huo Qingyang looked familiar, giving him an inexplicable sense of intimacy, but thinking about it carefully, he didn't have the impression of seeing him.

Huo Qingyang asked Yi Yin to help, took off the machete on his back and hung it on his waist, carried Wei Zhao who was unconscious on his back, and said to Yi Yin, "Your father needs to rest, we have to find a place to settle down, you pull me Your clothes will go away by yourself, don't let go."

Yi Yin nodded desperately, and picked up the little things they had left, and put them on his shoulders.

Before dark, Huo Qingyang took Yi Yin to find a cave sheltered from the wind. Yi Yin found a flat ground, first spread Wei Zhao's cloak on the ground, and then asked Huo Qingyang to put Wei Zhao down.

Afterwards, the two picked up some dry wood nearby and lit a bonfire. Huo Qingyang instructed Yi Yin to take good care of Wei Zhao, and went out to hunt. The dinner for the three of them hadn't been settled yet.

Not long after Huo Qingyang left, Wei Zhao woke up, and Yi Yin hurriedly asked, "Dad, are you feeling better? Would you like some water?"

Wei Zhao nodded slightly, and Yi Yin ran over holding Huo Qingyang's water bag, and said at the same time, "Brother Qingyang went hunting, and he said he would invite us to eat something delicious at night."

Wei Zhao was so thirsty that he drank half a bag of water in one go, and then he felt better. He looked at Yi Yin and asked softly, "A Yin, why do you think Huo Qingyang is so kind to us?"

Yi Yin took back the water bag and drank two sips himself before sealing the mouth with a stopper. He understood Wei Zhao's doubts about Huo Qingyang. As a passerby who met by chance, Huo Qingyang was indeed a little bit more enthusiastic towards them.

It's just that they are desperate, and it's not a bad thing to have someone like Huo Qingyang to help. So, Yi Yin giggled and said, "Because Brother Qingyang is a good person!"

Wei Zhao also laughed, laughing that he was too caring, no matter what Huo Qingyang's purpose was, for now, he was really a great help to them.

Not long after, Huo Qingyang came back humming an incomprehensible ditty, carrying a deer on his shoulders and two pheasants in his hands. It seemed that he had gained a lot.

What surprised Yi Yin even more was that Huo Qingyang put down the deer and the pheasant, and took out a clay pot from behind him, saying that he could make soup for Wei Zhao to nourish his body.
