Chapter 60
"I can tell the direction by watching the Beidou at night." Wei Si sat up suddenly, looking vaguely excited.
Young people are young and energetic, and they always have a bit of adventurous spirit in their bones. If they regret, they will regret it, and if they are afraid, they will be afraid, but they still can't suppress the excitement in their bones.
Adi also nodded. The teacher in the mansion taught people to observe the sky at night and said: There are seven numbers in the Big Dipper, shaped like a spoon, with the tail pointing north.
Li Qingyou gave the two of them a big eye roll, "It's just dark now, and we don't know how long it will be until the Big Dipper comes out. We must leave here as soon as possible, okay?"
When the Big Dipper comes out, maybe they have all fed the wild beasts.
Both of them had their heads drooped, and Wei Siqi was no longer excited. It was him who caused the trouble. He not only deceived himself but also harmed others.
"We can look at the broken wood." Adi suddenly said, "There is a wheel on it, and the wide side faces south."
The master of cavalry and archery in the mansion once followed his father in many battles, and was injured before joining the mansion as a training master. I once heard him say that one time they were lost in the mountains, and they walked out of the mountains by observing the broken wooden wheel.
Li Qingyou knew that he was talking about annual rings and that the idea was a good one. However, "There are no broken trees here, and you can't even see them if you want to."
"We have daggers that can cut down trees..." Wei Siqi's voice trailed off mid-sentence, and he felt like an idiot.
The siblings didn't even look at him.
"Or we can also look at the tree crowns." Li Qingyou looked up at the towering ancient trees above, "The direction of the large and dense tree crowns is south."
This is the only way at present.
The direction was identified, but Li Qingyou didn't know which way to go, "I only know that Qingfeng Mountain is thirty miles away from the east gate of Qingshan County."
"Then let's go west." Adi stood up. Although he only knew the general direction, getting out of the woods was the most important thing right now.
The three of them walked forward in the dark, checking the direction from time to time.
It's easy to say but extremely difficult to do. First of all, they are exhausted, thirsty and hungry.
In particular, Wei Siqi didn't wear a robe, only a satin middle coat and inner shirt. The satin was soft and smooth, and comfortable to wear. Normally, it would be fine, but now the mountain wind was blowing through him, and he was shivering with cold.
.
Adi went over to lean against him, holding Li Qingyou's arm with his other hand. The three of them relied on each other for warmth and courage.
They thought simply, as long as they found the right direction and kept walking, they would be able to get out of the woods. Unfortunately, there is a saying that Wangshan is a dead horse. They kept walking for most of the night, and they couldn't see the way out until the sky above them was filled with stars.
The mountain wind howls, rustling the leaves, and occasionally you can hear the roar of wild beasts in the distance, blown far and near by the wind, which is frightening.
Being hungry, cold, thirsty, tired, and facing the psychological oppression of huge fear is the easiest way to destroy a person's mind. The pampered young master Wei Siqi was the first to be unable to hold on.
He sat down on the ground and started crying, "I won't leave, not even if I live or die."
His feet were blistered from walking.
"Shut up and get up, do you want to attract wild beasts?" Li Qingyou was also tired. Girls' physical strength is not as good as boys, but didn't she give up?
The more this happens, the harder it is to stop. The temperature in the mountains is lower than outside, and walking can make them warmer. If they stop, they may freeze to death here.
Wei Siqi sniffed and looked at Li Qingyou with aggrieved eyes. He actually saw the shadow of his mother on her body?
Adi picked him up and the three of them continued walking forward.
Probably because they were lucky, they only saw a few pheasants and hares occasionally along the way, but not any large beasts. Even so, the three of them were still on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, the road is boundless. Just when they were about to give up, Adi suddenly pointed to a hazy shadow in the distance, "There seems to be someone's house there. No, it should be a temple."
There are so many wild animals in the wild mountains and there are bandits on the mountains. Ordinary people would not easily choose to live here, and the house looks quite big.
It was like a bright light in the dark night, and the exhausted three people suddenly gained strength again.
Sure enough, when they walked up to it, they saw a temple. Under the moonlight, they could clearly see three words written on the plaque: Jingyue Temple.
It turned out to be a nunnery.
No matter what happens, it's good to have people and a room to shelter from the wind and rest.
Li Qingyou stepped forward and opened the door, told the other party the situation, and asked to stay for one night.
The monk was compassionate and opened the door to let them in. He led the three of them to a nunnery and brought them some remaining cold dumplings and water.
The three of them ate voraciously, and now the pampered young master Wei Siqi, who did not like delicacies, also devoured them and ate them deliciously.
After a day of chaos and chaos, Li Qingyou couldn't even lift his legs. He looked at Adi and Wei Siqi, who fell asleep halfway through eating. Wei Siqi still had half a piece of pastry in his mouth.
He went over to arrange the two of them, and Li Qingyou also leaned on the bed and closed her eyes and fell asleep...
Early the next morning, Li Qingyou realized that they were going in the wrong direction after listening to the middle-aged nun who opened the door last night.
"You go down the mountain and go south. It will take you about seven or eight miles to reach the official road. Then follow the official road to the north and you will reach Qingshan County." The nun paused at this point, "But it is not far from Qingshan County.
It's nearly fifty miles, so it might be difficult for you to walk back with just your feet."
The main reason is that these three children are in ragged clothes and are in a state of embarrassment. The soles of their shoes are almost worn out. Especially the taller child, who doesn't even have a coat, and there are blood stains on his middle coat, and there are scratches on his exposed arms and legs.
mark.
The nun felt pity for them, but there was nothing she could do.
Li Qingyou was not that pessimistic. At any rate, it was daytime now. They ate and rested for half the night, and recovered some strength.
The most important thing is that I know how to go this time, and I no longer have to walk around like a headless chicken like last night.
The three of them bid farewell to the nun and continued on their way. Yesterday's tension and fatigue all came back after a half-night's rest, and the aches and pains all over their bodies felt so good.
My body is tired, but my spirit is full. I know the direction of home and I feel more confident.
They followed the nun's guidance and followed the path down the mountain. The kind nun also gave Wei Siqi a monk's robe. Although it was patched, it could still cover his body.
The road was boring. Wei Siqi was walking and suddenly raised his hand and hooked his brother's chin, "How old is the young lady? Do you have a mate?"
Adi slapped his fat paws away, raised his leg and kicked him on the butt, "That monster monk, you don't want to die."
Wei Siqi hid, and Di's feet brushed past him. The two of them jumped up and down and began to fight. Li Qingyou couldn't hold his forehead. Aren't they tired?
