Kneel down and beg to return to the field

Ice is not a rare thing, no matter in the south or the north, as long as it is this cold season, it can always be seen.It's just that it's the first time for Ms. He to see something that is so common to ordinary people.

No, perhaps it cannot be said that this is the first time Ms. He has seen Bing Ling, but it should be the first time she has seen such a spectacular scene of Bing Ling.

Yes, it is spectacular.It was the first time for He Zhi to see the ice crystals everywhere, the crystals all over the mountain, not to mention that the trees on the mountain in Qizhou prefecture were not completely withered in winter.At this time, the deep green has been wrapped by the sudden ice crystals, and compared with the winter depression in the capital, it always shows a different kind of vitality.

It's cold in winter, which boudoir girl in the capital is not pampered?They seldom go out on weekdays, and in this cold season, most of them have also rested from various activities and just nestled in the warm house.Even He Zhi who likes to go out like this, Madam He would not allow her to go out in this kind of weather.So the ice that He Zhi had seen was just a small piece of ice in his own yard, and he didn't think much of it after seeing it. When had he seen such a scene?

Looking around, the world I saw was already surrounded by ice and snow.Unlike Changning Town where no snow can accumulate at all, although a lot of the thin snow in this mountain has melted away, there is still some accumulated, and the melted snow has condensed into ice crystals, turning into ice crystals. Became another scenery.

The tall trees are wrapped in a transparent coat, and the green branches and leaves are also covered by ice and snow, as if carved by ice and snow, but they are full of vitality.Wei Lai chose a good weather to go out. Warm sunlight fell from the distant sky, reflected in the ice and snow, giving people a dreamlike illusion.

For a long time, He Zhi's eyes did not look back from the "ice sculpture" world in the distance.Until Wei Lai's deliberately soft voice came from his ear: "Does it look good?"

The corners of He Zhi's mouth had already raised unconsciously, but she didn't turn her head when she heard the words, she just nodded her head affirmatively and said, "It's beautiful!" Wei Wei: "Although it is beautiful, won't those trees be frozen to death?"

Wei Lai didn't expect her to ask this question. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, but shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not. This place is no better than the capital city, and even less than Beizhou. Even if it's cold, it won't last long. It will melt in a few days, so it won’t freeze naturally.” After explaining, he added: “It’s like this every year, don’t these trees still live here well?”

When I thought about it for a while, I asked a stupid question.He Zhi wouldn't worry about this, but thought of something else: "You said that the ice will melt in a few days, so how do you know this beautiful scenery? It's the coldest weather in the past few days." Well, why did you come to this mountain?" If you haven't been to the mountain at this time, you will naturally not know that you can see such a scene here.

Wei Laiwen smiled, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "Although it is cold at this time, it is actually a good time for hunting. There are always some little things that can't stand the hunger and come out to look for food at this time." In the past, when I was at home, I always made some traps on this mountain, and I would come and see them every three or two days, and I always got something."

The hunting of poor people is naturally different from that of rich and noble people. The former is to fill their stomachs, while the latter is just for fun after having nothing to do.

Although He Zhi grew up in rich clothes and fine food, she is not ignorant of the world.She knows that for a family that has lost the mainstay of the man, the life of orphans and widows is not easy, even if they have enough money to live on.

Because she knew it, He Zhi didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while—although she really wanted to ask Wei Lai how she got here during those years at home, those years in the military camp, and those years on the battlefield—— In the end, it was Wei Lai who broke the silence again: "Actually, it's not a good time for us to come back this time, and I can't think of other places to take you to play. I just don't want you to come to Qi with me. It's just a trip for nothing."

How can it be said that it was a waste of time?Wei Lai's words made He Zhi frowned, but before she could say anything, Wei Lai said again: "It's still early, do you want to go and have a look?"

Wei Lai pointed to the frozen world in the distance, and looked at He Zhi with a gentle smile, just like the original appearance.

For some reason, He Zhi's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and she lost her mind for a moment.Immediately, she naturally moved her eyes away, and landed on the world Wei Lai was pointing at: "Little General Wei's kindness is naturally not to be let down."

I don't know if Wei Lai noticed He Zhi's loss of focus at that moment, but now he smiled brighter when he heard the words.She stretched out a hand and handed it in front of He Zhi: "If you want to go there, you have to walk down the mountain from here. It's not safe to ride a horse. In this weather, it's not bad to take a walk, at least you won't be so cold. "

He Zhi saw Wei Lai's hand in front of him, and knew that the other party was waiting for her to reach out to hold it.It's just that she was still a little hesitant. Although there was no barrier between them at this moment of "the difference between men and women", the previous incident was really embarrassing, but it made her a little afraid to have any physical contact with Wei Lai.Wei Lai, on the other hand, didn't seem to care.

Of course Wei Lai didn't care, seeing that He Zhi didn't move, she simply leaned forward and took He Zhi's hand.But after a lot of hard work, the other party's warm body has become cold again.

"Why is it still so cold?!" Wei Lai frowned, this time he didn't dare to put his hands in his bosom so recklessly, and grabbed He Zhi's hand with both hands, rubbing to help her keep warm .

Wei Lai's palm was still so warm, it was really hard to let go in this climate.Although He Zhi felt that something was wrong, she still had two points of nostalgia in her heart, moved slightly, and after being held down by Wei Laiqiang, she also gave up struggling.Looking up at Wei Lai, who was lowering his head and concentrating on helping her keep warm, he said calmly, "It's probably because of my physique. My hands are always cooler than others."

"It's not good for your health." Wei Lai muttered, but didn't say much.Ms. He's identity is different from hers, and the jewel in Shang Shu's palm naturally does not need a doctor to take care of her, and she doesn't need to carry it when she is sick.

Letting Wei Lai do his best to help her keep warm, He Zhi didn't say that she never went out in winter, but just walked around the yard, and there was always a maid to take care of her, and a heater and other things at hand.It was actually the first time in so many years that he was so cold.

With Wei Lai's efforts, He Zhi's hands became warm again after a while.This time Wei Lai did not let go, and simply took He Zhi by the hand and led her down the mountain.It is the longest, slowest and best way to go.

※※※

Wei Lai and He Zhi finally reached their destination, because they encountered an accident on the way down the mountain.

Wei Lai's horse is a battle-tested horse, not only extremely human, but also extremely alert.After Wei Lai went up the mountain and got off his horse, he didn't care about it. He just waited and followed him all the way, until he stopped suddenly when he was halfway down the mountain.

As soon as the horse stopped, Wei Lai, who was walking in front, also stopped, and didn't even continue what he had said to He Zhi.

"What's wrong?" Wei Lai led He Zhi all the way, and when Wei Lai stopped, she naturally stopped too.

"There seems to be something wrong." Wei Lai frowned and looked back, and saw his black horse snorted at her, then paved the ground with its hooves, which was unusual and a little anxious .

Seeing the appearance of the black horse, Wei Lai's first reaction was to reach out and touch his waist.This touch was in vain—the environment in Changning Town was too comfortable. She had put away the long knife that she never left in Beizhou as early as the second day she returned home. Naturally, she did not bring it with her when she went out to play today. superior.

When He Zhi saw Wei Lai's action, he also guessed what it was.She was very courageous, she didn't see much panic, she just subconsciously leaned against Wei Lai, and asked, "But what happened?"

At this time, Wei Lai had already pulled out a dagger from his bosom. After all, she had been in a place like Beizhou for a long time. Even in a comfortable place, she must have some self-defense around her.It's just that the dagger is probably not suitable at this time: "Probably there are wild beasts in the forest, and Xiao Hei noticed it."

The weather in the twelfth lunar month of winter is not only difficult for people, but also for the animals on the mountain.In order to resist the severe cold, they have to eat more things to add calories, so they have to come out to find something to eat.When things like pheasants and hares meet people, they will naturally become prey, but if jackals, tigers and leopards meet people, their identities may have to be reversed.

Sure enough, as soon as Wei Lai's words fell, he heard some faint voices coming from the bushes by the roadside.

Holding the dagger in one hand, Wei Lai stopped He Zhi with the other, leading him back a few steps.She glanced at the black horse that was following her, thinking whether it was too late to leave at this time, and she was afraid that the wild beasts in the forest would chase after her too much, and she would lose the opportunity.

It's a pity that Wei Lai and the others are really not lucky today, because the movement in the forest is getting louder and closer.

Obviously, it was directed at them.

Before the beast in the forest appeared, Wei Lai told He Zhi in a low voice, "Ride on Xiao Hei and go back to the town, and leave me alone." Seeing He Zhi's expression of disapproval, Before the other party objected, he added: "When you get to the town, release Xiao Hei, and he will come back to me by himself."

After saying this, He Zhi couldn't object.Because she knew that this was the best arrangement, and as for staying to live and die together, it was actually a hindrance to Wei Lai, and she wasn't that stupid.

Before He Zhi got on his horse, a person suddenly emerged from the noisy bushes with a "crash".

Seeing the half-grown child who was in a state of embarrassment coming out of the bushes, Wei Lai and He Zhi were startled, then stunned.However, before they could react, when the half-grown child looked up and saw Wei Lai, he shouted in surprise, "Brother Alai!"

"Dashan?!" Wei Lai took a closer look and found that he was an acquaintance. It was Xiaowen's younger brother Dashan. He went into the mountain again.

Surprise was surprise, but Wei Lai and He Zhi did not relax.Because Dashan's expression at that moment was a bit complicated. At first glance, he was surprised like a survivor, but then it turned into worry and hesitation.

Both Wei Lai and He Zhi are not stupid people, they already understood at a glance.Seeing that Dashan was about to turn around, Wei Lai hurriedly shouted: "Dashan, come here!"

With this shout, the foot of Dashan subconsciously paused.However, at this moment, Wei Lai had already announced that there were indeed other movements in the bushes behind the mountain - the mountain was being chased all the way by wild beasts.

They were already here, but it was meaningless for Dashan to turn in another direction, and it was impossible for the beast to completely ignore Wei Lai and the two of them and continue chasing him.So after Wei Lai called him again, he gritted his teeth and ran over.

Then at the next moment, Wei Lai saw a huge wild boar jumping out from the bushes.
