After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 98 Light Snow on the Ice Island
The exhaled breath instantly condensed into frost in the cold wind, and his beard and eyebrows were covered with frost.
The blood seemed to stop flowing, the body trembled instinctively, and the earth was covered in silver.
This is the Ice Island. Just like its name, the cold wind is biting and the snow on the ground makes a crackling sound under their feet.
"Why is there no one in this damn place!" a soldier complained.
At this time, everyone was already freezing and could not bear it. They had never experienced such cold weather, let alone Zhu Qing'an and Fu Guang.
Fu Guang was wrapped in thick clothes and a scarf, with only her eyes showing. Chuan Gu was supporting her.
Zhu Qing'an's condition was even worse at this time. Although she was wrapped in three layers of clothes, she still couldn't withstand the severe cold.
Her little face was black and blue from the cold under the cloak, and she was carried on Bian Jingsheng's back.
Everyone only knows that there might be the ethereal fairy grass on Binghan Island, but Binghan Island is so big that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Just when everyone paused in their search for a place sheltered from the wind and snow, Zhu Qingan suddenly pointed to the south, "That way!"
Although the feeling was very weak, Zhu Qing'an now understood what the medical books said. It turned out that people who were poisoned by the double poison really had a sensitivity to the ethereal fairy grass that ordinary people did not have.
For example, at this moment, she clearly knew nothing, but she instinctively wanted to go to the south of Ice Island. It was a kind of attraction.
"Go south!" Bian Jingsheng ordered, and then carried Zhu Qing'an on his back and walked towards the south.
Every step was difficult for everyone, because every time they put their feet down, they would sink deep into the ice and snow, and then they had to use a lot of effort to dig themselves out.
Even Bian Jingsheng was a little out of breath.
"Let me down, I can walk by myself!" Zhu Qing'an said anxiously, lying on Bian Jingsheng's back.
She knew that it was difficult to walk in the snow, and it would be even more difficult if Bian Jingsheng carried her on his back. Zhu Qing'an didn't want to become a burden to Bian Jingsheng.
"Don't underestimate me!" Bian Jingsheng did not put Zhu Qingan down and continued to carry her forward.
For Bian Jingsheng, Zhu Qing'an behind him is not a burden, but a responsibility, and even more so, the one he loves from the bottom of his heart, and he is willing to carry her on his back for the rest of his life.
"Your Highness, there seems to be a place to rest ahead!" Chuan Gu shouted in surprise, and everyone couldn't help but show great joy. If they continued walking, they would probably have frozen to death in the snow before finding the ethereal fairy grass.
Bian Jingsheng looked forward and saw a row of houses there as expected. Bian Jingsheng quickly asked everyone to go there.
I thought there would be no human habitation in this snowy place, but when everyone walked outside the house, they found that there seemed to be signs that someone was living there.
Bian Jingsheng knocked on the door with Zhu Qingan on his back and called out to the inside, "Is anyone there? We're passing by and would like to stay for the night. Is it convenient for you, the host?"
There was no sound coming from inside, and everyone was stamping their feet in the cold.
"Maybe no one lives here anymore. Why don't we open the door and take a look?" a soldier suggested.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the room, and a small voice said weakly, "Who are you?"
Zhu Qing'an heard that the voice was a woman's voice. Now that so many men suddenly appeared outside the house, it would be bad if they scared others.
Zhu Qing'an patted Bian Jingsheng on the back, and Bian Jingsheng put Zhu Qing'an down.
"Miss, we came to Binghan Island to look for something, but it's too cold outside, so we'd like to stay overnight. Please be kind enough to help us! Please rest assured, we have no ill intentions and we are not bad people!" Zhu Qing'an shouted softly into the house.
Perhaps it was because Zhu Qing'an's voice was quite gentle and his attitude was very mild, so only a creaking sound was heard from the wooden door, and then a gap was opened.
There was a pair of eyes behind the gap, looking at Zhu Qingan and his group.
Zhu Qing'an quickly took off the cloak on his head and tried hard to make his expression look harmless.
"Xuexian?" As the voice sounded, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone saw a tightly wrapped figure walking out of the house. Except for a pair of eyes, no one could see anything about the girl.
But the pair of eyes exposed outside made everyone a little surprised.
It was simply because, compared to everyone else's black or gray eyes, these eyes were actually light blue, beautiful as crystal, reflecting everything clearly.
"Are you Xuexian?" the little girl asked, standing in front of Zhu Qing'an.
At this time, Zhu Qing'an also discovered that this little girl should be younger than him and a little shorter, and was looking up at him.
Zhu Qingan shook his head, "I'm not!"
Everyone looked at Zhu Qing'an, and suddenly understood why the little girl said that.
Because at this time Zhu Qingan's skin was whiter than snow, and the spirit in her eyes made people dare not desecrate her, but her appearance was so enchanting and charming, extremely tempting.
If there really were a snow fairy, perhaps she would really look like this.
"Come in!" The little girl looked at Zhu Qing'an, then stood slightly to the side.
"Thank you!" Zhu Qing'an was very grateful. He thought it would take some more effort to persuade them, but he didn't expect the little girl to agree to them so easily.
"We are men, so why don't we stay in the house next door?" Bian Jingsheng suggested.
The little girl's house has many rooms, and this one should be the one where she lives on weekdays, while the others should be in the woodshed and kitchen.
They are all rough men. It is inappropriate for so many men to suddenly break into a girl's room.
Zhu Qingan also considered that aspect, but still asked the little girl what she thought first.
"Okay! But don't break my things!" the little girl warned.
As they spoke, everyone tiptoed into the house, and Zhu Qing'an and Fu Guang followed the little girl into her room.
The room was not very luxurious, but it was very warm. I didn't know what was going on, but the temperature inside and outside was completely different.
At this time, Bian Jingsheng and others also came into the house one after another. Everyone hurriedly took off the scarves on their heads, and felt like they were alive again.
"Thank God, we finally have a place to rest!" everyone said happily.
"We should thank the princess. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have come south and wouldn't have found a place to rest!" said a soldier, and this statement was agreed by everyone.
"There is a kitchen next to it. Chuan Gu, go ask the owner if they can let us use the kitchen! Then we can go out and find some food ourselves!" Bian Jingsheng ordered.
Although everyone brought dry food with them, it was for emergencies and was dry. It would be nice if they could eat something hot at this time.
At this time, Zhu Qing'an and Fu Guang also took off their heavy cloaks, but the strange thing was that the little girl was still wrapped tightly even in the warmer room.
"I heard from my mother that the Snow Fairy is extremely beautiful, just like the snowflakes outside the house! Moreover, my mother also said that the Snow Fairy will come to find me!" The little girl stared at Zhu Qing'an seriously, her tone full of innocence.
"What about your mother?" Zhu Qing'an asked. It was freezing cold, and it was a little unsafe for a little girl to live here.
The little girl's eyes were filled with loneliness, and she lowered her head and said, "Mother is dead!"
After hearing this, Zhu Qing'an felt a little guilty. He didn't expect that he had mentioned someone else's sad story.
"But mother said that the Snow Fairy would come, and you came. You are the Snow Fairy that mother was talking about, right?" the little girl asked stubbornly.
Zhu Qing'an looked around and seemed to suddenly understand what was going on.
I guess the little girl's mother knew that she would not live long, so she made up a white lie. With this lie, the little girl would be full of hope for the future.
Otherwise, in this snowy and icy place, even if the little girl could survive alone, she would go crazy from loneliness.
Although Zhu Qing'an repeatedly denied that she was not the Snow Fairy her mother mentioned, the little girl was convinced that she was the Snow Fairy.
The little girl was very kind to Zhu Qingan. Not only did she take out a lot of delicious food for Zhu Qingan, she also told Zhu Qingan everything that had happened to her over the years.
Zhu Qing'an only then realized that Binghan Island was once inhabited, but the population was extremely sparse.
Because of the bad weather, some people either moved away or died here. Later, only the little girl and her mother were left here.
Because her family has lived here for generations, the little girl has adapted to the climate here since she was a child and has developed her own way to survive.
It’s a pity that the little girl’s mother left her in the end. Before leaving, her mother not only prepared a lot of cold-resistant food for the little girl, but also told her a lie.
"You should keep these for yourself!" Zhu Qing'an refused the food the little girl brought. She knew very well that even if the little girl adapted to the place, these foods must have been hard-earned.
If she ate these things from the little girl, the little girl might lack a lot of food in the future.
At this time, a soldier came outside the house and relayed Bian Jingsheng's words. After hearing what the soldier said, the little girl first looked at Zhu Qingan and asked, "Are those people Xuexian's friends?"
Zhu Qingan nodded, and the little girl said after hearing it, "The kitchen is available for use, and you can eat the food!"
Listening to the little girl's words, Fu Guang and Zhu Qing'an frowned. It was because the little girl was too naive. If it was someone with ulterior motives today, the little girl would be in danger.
"Keep those things for yourself. Do you know where I can find food here?" Zhu Qing'an asked.
"I can take them there!" Although the little girl didn't understand why everyone didn't eat her food, she was very obedient.
"Thank you for your help! By the way, I don't even know your name." Zhu Qing'an looked at the little girl, hoping to know her name.
"My name is Xiaoxue! It's the name my mother gave me!" When Xiaoxue mentioned her mother, her eyes were full of nostalgia and happiness.
"Thank you, Xiaoxue!" Zhu Qing'an thanked her.
Xiaoxue's eyes curved up, and she quickly walked out of the house with Bian Jingsheng and the others to look for food. She had originally thought that it would be difficult to find food in this icy and snowy place.
But unexpectedly, not long after, everyone came back, and everyone was holding Fatty's fish in their hands.
"Where can we get fish in this freezing weather?" Zhu Qing'an was standing at the door, very surprised. He knew that if he could drink some hot fish soup in such cold weather, he would feel his saliva watering just thinking about it.
"I didn't expect there was a lake under the ice. After prying the ice open, there were so many fish inside. Miss Xiaoxue must have a way!" Bian Jingsheng held a fish in one hand, and there was a rare excitement on his face.
At this time, Xiaoxue was already standing beside Zhu Qing'an, blinking her eyes at him.
Zhu Qingan was a little skeptical, and then tentatively asked, "Xiaoxue is so amazing?"
Xiaoxue was visibly happy when she heard Zhu Qing'an's praise.
Zhu Qing'an sighed. Even though Xiaoxue was only one year younger than him, she was still like a child in this isolated place and her personality was too simple.
"I'll make some fish soup for you, come in quickly!" Bian Jingsheng urged, after all, there was a cold wind outside.
Zhu Qing'an nodded and let Xiaoxue into the house first.
"Xiaoxue, we are indoors now. Do you want to take off your hat?" Zhu Qing'an asked cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxue quickly shook her head and even raised her hands, "No! Mother said that I can't let others see me, or they will hate me!"
"How could that be? Xiaoxue is so cute, no one will hate you!" Zhu Qingan comforted.
"Really? Doesn't Xuexian hate Xiaoxue?" Xiaoxue asked suspiciously.
"At least I won't hate Xiaoxue, because Xiaoxue is the kindest girl!" Zhu Qing'an explained.
Xiaoxue held the hat and seemed to have made a great decision before taking off the hat and scarf on her head.
When Zhu Qing'an and Fu Guang saw Xiaoxue's appearance, they immediately understood why Xiaoxue's mother had instructed Xiaoxue like this. It was because Xiaoxue was indeed a little different from them.
It was simply because Xiaoxue's skin was very white, but abnormally white, the same white as the snow outside. Furthermore, Xiaoxue's skin wasn't just white, even her hair and eyebrows were white.
She looked like a child of snow, all white.
"Am I ugly?" Xiaoxue asked worriedly. "I'm different from my mother, and I'm different from everyone else!"
Maybe Xiaoxue has not met many people, but this also makes her realize that she is different.
"No, I think Xiaoxue is very pretty! Although you are different from your mother, others are different too, but you have done nothing wrong! If someone doesn't like you, that's his own problem! Besides, who says that being the same is correct?" Zhu Qing'an said softly.
This seems to be the way the world is, the majority excludes the minority.
Just like her aunt, she has endured so much slander over the years because she is different.
"Mother is right, Xuexian will never despise me!" After hearing this, Xiaoxue happily hugged Zhu Qingan.
Zhu Qing'an hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and touched Xiaoxue's head. At this moment, she suddenly felt pity and reluctance for this little girl.
