40 Love is Difficult
Benefit is hard
"Do you know the way to Sichuan?" Ye Piaoling asked this more important question.
"I know a little bit, but I don't know very well. But I can ask on the road."
"I have a map here that can save you a lot of distance and walk outside this mountain. I'll give you the rest except what I need." Ye Piaoling said and took out the map he brought.
"Okay, thank you! You are such a good person!" Sima Xingzhi was very excited to feel that Ye Piaoling was indeed helping him. He knew that having a map would save them a lot of pace.
So Ye Piaoling dug out a large piece of the map and gave the rest to Sima Xingzhi.
Although the map looks very bad and Ye Piaoling dug out the middle part, the part that Sima Xingzhi held was in addition to the inside of Kunlun Mountain, which is very important to have guidance to Sichuan.
Ye Piaoling was talking to Sima Xingzhi for a long time, and when he saw Sima Xingzhi's sleepiness became blurred, Ye Piaoling stopped talking to Sima Xingzhi and walked to his side.
The fire slowly darkened, leaving only ashes, and the three people in the wooden house fell asleep. Ye Piaoling woke up before dawn, and he couldn't sleep, so he walked outside the wooden house.
Ye Piaoling found that the heavy snow had stopped, and the white world was surrounded by a white world, pure and without a trace of variegated color. After the heavy snow, it was cold. A gust of cold wind blew on Ye Piaoling's body, which made him shiver for a moment and quickly wrapped his clothes tightly.
After heavy snow, Ye Piaoling could see clearly under the stars and under the reflection of the snow on the ground.
Stepping on the newly falling snowflakes like goose-feathered velvet, the leaves' footprints were deeply trapped. "Oh, it seems that the road after the heavy snow is not easy to walk!"
Ye Piaoling saw his feet sinking into thick snowflakes on the ground. It was estimated that the roads in the mountains were the same.
"This road is long and long..." Then Ye Piaoling said again, "If it weren't for this, wouldn't it be boring to be a human being!" After saying that, he laughed.
I was rushing at dawn, and there was still a long way to go. I wonder if I could arrive within twenty days? Ye Piaoling thought.
After staying outside for a while, Ye Piaoling walked into the wooden house. He took a handful of firewood at the door, and when he returned to the wooden house, he grabbed a fire with only Mars ashes left.
After a while, the fire regained its enthusiasm and started to burn, roasting the wooden house warmly.
Ye Piaoling packed up his things and was about to leave until dawn. Ye Piaoling seemed to be hugging Wen Nuan's sleeping brother and sister. Ye Piaoling felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Finally, Ye Piaoling left before they woke up at dawn.
However, before Ye Piaoling left, Ye Piaoling left half of the dry food in his bag to the brother and sister. In addition to these things, Ye Piaoling also left all the things he didn't need in the bag for the time being, such as one of two pairs of gloves, and a few pairs of socks for each of them.
The most important thing is that Ye Piaoling gritted his teeth and made up his mind to leave another piece of clothing. Although it was not as thick as the one I gave to the girl last night, in this cold and cold mountain, one more piece of clothing can even save her life.
On these things, Ye Piaoling also gave half of his money to the brother and sister. Anyway, except on the road, there was no need to spend money when they arrived in Kunlun. Besides, there was still an old man! Although it was the remaining part of Ye Piaoling, the money was hundreds of dollars.
Walking out of the wooden house, Ye Piaoling looked at the slowly lit sky and laughed at himself, "Maybe I will start to starve tomorrow!"
After a while, "Go!"
Ye Piaoling left the snow-covered cabin, set out to the mountain when he was walking down, returned to the mountain, and continued his journey.
When the brother and sister in the small wooden house woke up, they found that there was no sign of Ye Piaoling except for the burning fire and the things left by Ye Piaoling.
The brother and sister looked at the dried meat, steamed buns, money and other good things left by Ye Piaoling. No matter how strong Sima Xingzhi was, she burst into tears. He suppressed his emotions and said to his sister, "Girl, we must repay this person's kindness!"
"Well, yes brother. We will not forget it!" the girl also nodded.
At this time, Ye Piaoling had been away for half an hour. According to Ye Piaoling's footsteps, he was a few miles away.
What Ye Piaoling did not expect was that his actions before leaving actually bought Sima Xingzhi's heart. You must know that after Sima Xingzhi went to Sichuan, he defected to his relatives in the army. When Mr. Ye Piaoling was unifying China, Sima Xingzhi, who had received Ye Piaoling's kindness back then, made great contributions to Ye Piaoling's unification war in order to repay his husband's kindness. Unifying Sichuan was the so-called Sima Xingzhi's merits. Later, Sima Xingzhi became a powerful general under Mr. Ye Piaoling, guarding Sichuan for Mr. Ye Piaoling and becoming a vassal.
Of course, this is a story later.
It took Ye Piaoling a morning to return to his original place. The road was covered with snowflakes with thick layers of tactile tidbits. It was difficult to walk. Step by step, Ye Piaoling was extremely careful on such a road. If he was not careful, he might be slid down the cliff and lost his life.
Fortunately, the day after the heavy snow fell, and the weather was particularly good these days. The sun was pouring warmly on his body, making Ye Piaoling feel very comfortable. He almost rushed to the road without stopping. In five days, Ye Piaoling walked for more than 400 miles, almost eighty miles a day. This cannot be considered slow. You must know that "hidden emperor" Ye Guhong did not have the process as fast as he did back then.
Ye Piaoling gave most of the dry food he had prepared to eat for half a month and twenty days to Sima Xingzhi and his siblings, and the rest was only enough for him to eat for seven or eight days. Ye Piaoling thought he wanted to save some food, and when he was on the way, Ye Piaoling tried to find food from the side.
"It would be great if there was someone in front of me!" Ye Piaoling looked at the dry food in the bag, and it was getting less and less. "Let's keep these first and eat some grass roots and moss!" In desperation, Ye Piaoling put the dried meat in his hand back into the bag, removing grass roots and moss.
Chewing the bitter grass roots and moss, Ye Piaoling really missed the stew made by Ding Le'er and her mother, and the stew was quite good at it. Anyway, it was all for the stomach, so it didn't matter Ye Piaoling. He thought that the end of what he ate was pulled out, so there was no difference between eating.
After barely swallowing some, Ye Piaoling collected a large bag of grass roots and moss in the bag to prevent him from filling his stomach when he couldn't find food and not starving.
