In the twelfth lunar month of winter, heavy snow is raging.

It's about [-] o'clock, and the sky will be bright.Wrapped in the biting cold wind, the soft goose-feathered white snow became cold and chilling in vain, howling and roaring between the heaven and the earth, as if trying to wipe away all the remaining heat in the world.

The people in Jiangcheng all closed their doors and closed their houses, huddling in their homes and lighting fires to keep out the cold.Only the Orion, who was forced to make a living, still walked in the snow with his hunched body and one foot deep in the snow despite the severe cold.

Going south out of the city gate is the Yangtze River.To the north, there is a mountain.

If you want to hunt in the mountains, you have to take a long official road.There is a section of the road that happens to be near the Yangtze River.

Orion walked slowly on the road. The purpose of his trip was to try his luck on the northern mountains.Maybe you can meet a hare that was frozen to death, or you can shoot a wild boar hiding in a mountain den with the rough bow and arrows on your back.No matter what, as long as the sleeping beasts are not awakened, they will not return empty-handed.

Orion didn't dare to think what to do if he got nothing from this trip, he just pulled up the tattered cotton skirt, trying to block the tearing of the cold wind.If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get rid of the pot at home, why would he go out in such a bad snowstorm?

This plague-stricken ghost weather!

Orion couldn't help cursing inwardly.His cloudy eyes looked at the quietly flowing river not far away.

It's a pity that he is not a fisherman, otherwise, he would be able to feed and clothe himself by just catching a few fish casually on the river.

Orion looked away, and was about to continue on his way, but a group of figures seemed to pass by in his peripheral vision.In an instant, he withdrew his legs that had already been stretched, and put his hands on his eyes to look into the distance.

At this time, Orion was standing on the official road, not far from the river, his blurry vision through the wind and snow, barely able to see the situation by the river.

A man in a white cloak stood alone by the river.

Orion glanced at the figure, and started on his way again, feeling a little resentful in his heart: These rich people are really too busy to stay in the mansion, and go to the riverside to enjoy the scenery in heavy snow.If he was as hungry as he was, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the leisure to enjoy the snow scene!

If I have money in the future, I must buy a cloak!

Orion couldn't help but gathered his old thin cotton coat, and looked towards the river again.Seeing this, his expression immediately changed.

The white figure was moving slowly, heading towards the unfrozen river.

Could this man be throwing himself into the river!

The flash of thought startled Orion!He didn't care that he had to go up the mountain, so he immediately ran towards that figure.

In the wind and snow, the man's figure was a little unsteady. The cloak on his body suddenly slipped off, revealing the man's thin figure. His long hair fluttered with the wind, and the blue singlet on his body was rattling by the cold wind.The person didn't pick it up and put it on, as if he couldn't feel the cold, he slowly took one step at a time toward the river.

Seeing that the man was walking into the river, Orion immediately shouted: "Master! Please stay!"

The wind and snow were so strong that the words that Orion shouted were blown away in an instant.

The man paused for a moment, then continued to walk, the steps under his feet were even a little faster.

Orion was in a hurry and ran faster.

The cold wind howled, ripping off his ragged clothes.He didn't care about pulling back the loose skirts, but ran forward desperately.When he got closer, he realized that the man seemed to be holding a swaddling baby in his hands.This guess is because the person turned his back to him, revealing only a small corner of the scarlet quilt.

Orion ran to the river, put his hands on his knees, panted and looked forward, and saw that the man had already stepped into the water.The river flooded his calf, and the man seemed to have closed his five senses, walking slowly towards the heart of the river unconsciously.

Orion took a few steps forward, then barely stopped.He wanted to pull him back, but he was afraid of the icy river.If he followed him into the water, it would be useless even if he rescued them——this snowstorm day, there was no one around except them.At that time, they were wearing wet clothes, and if they were not rescued, they would surely freeze to death.

Orion had no choice but to yell: "Young master! Don't go any further! Come back quickly! Your body is skinny, and you will lose your parents! Not to mention your own life! Don't do stupid things! Let your parents feel sorry for you!"

Orion thought that he would change his mind and go ashore after shouting these words. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man in the water walked even faster instead of stopping!

In a blink of an eye, the river water covered the man's waist and then up to his shoulders. It must not take long before the whole person could be submerged.

Seeing a human life being ruined in front of his eyes, Orion's heart tightened, and he immediately turned and ran towards the way he came.He's going to find someone to help!

The piercing wind and snow made it difficult for people to move forward, and the Orion ran with all his strength, but his speed was only a few points faster than usual walking.After running for an unknown amount of time, he finally vaguely saw the towering city gate.Orion was overjoyed, his body, which was shivering from the cold, was now running hot.He was about to speed up again, when he saw someone riding a horse running towards this side!

In the wind and snow, people couldn't see the appearance of the person coming, not to mention that the person's face was tightly covered by the black piping cloak, and he could be judged to be a tall man only by his body shape.

Orion is overjoyed!Immediately shouted: "Strong man! Help someone! Someone has thrown himself into the river! Help!"

The man on the horse didn't stop for a moment, he just swung his whip harder and hurried towards the river.

Orion was stunned, and after seeing that the horse was heading towards the river, he immediately chased after it.

When he ran to the original place panting like a cow, he saw a horse snoring continuously at the nearby tree trunk.On the snow beside him was not only the white cloak of the man who threw himself into the river, but also a cloak.This cloak is exquisite, noble and thick, which shows that the person who just rode the horse is either rich or noble.

He anxiously looked up the river, hoping that the strong man could save him.

Not long after, there was movement on the river.

Orion watched the strong man swim towards the shore while half hugging himself, paddling desperately.

After landing on the shore, Orion watched as the strong man began to press the abdomen of the man in his arms.After pressing for a while, he seemed to find no effect. The strong man immediately took a few steps, grabbed the cloak scattered on the ground with one hand, wrapped the person tightly, and then pulled the cloak to wrap around the two bodies, and then grabbed the horse. hold the reins, and mount the horse neatly.

When he was about to leave, the strong man glanced at Orion.

"Thank you!"

Then a silver coin was thrown over.

When Orion saw the strong man's face clearly, he knelt down immediately, with his head firmly pressed against the snow, and saluted tremblingly: "Caomin has seen the prince."

When he raised his head again, the lord had disappeared into the wind and snow with his men and horses, and only the ingot of silver that fell beside him was clearly telling him that he was not dreaming just now.

Orion walked back to the city slowly as if in hysteria, and only woke up when he was sitting in the air-ventilated home, stiff from the cold all over his body.

He has money!

He also met the prince!

Orion couldn't hide his excitement and laughed heartily!But he quickly stopped laughing, and then he remembered the man who threw himself into the river.

I don't know if it has been rescued?

After thinking about it, Wang Yequan is powerful, and there are so many capable people in the mansion, so he must be rescued!

Orion shook his head, laughing at himself for worrying.

Two days later.

Orion was pasting the windows of his house when he heard the neighbors talking about a miracle.

There is a funeral going to be held at Prince Chu's mansion, and the person to be buried is just a guest from the mansion, but the standard of burial is comparable to that of a princess!

I heard that the prince of Chu specially asked the emperor to order Na Qingke to be a concubine, and he was so angry that he only allowed him to be buried as a side concubine.

Orion froze his hand on the window.It turned out that the person who threw himself into the river that day was a Qing guest of Chu Wangfu.

The wealth and honor of splashing heaven is in front of you, but people have no blessing to enjoy it.

This is really in line with the old saying that things are impermanent.

Fan Yi leaned against the head of the bed with a pillow, looking at the bedroom in front of him where he had lived for more than ten years, he also felt that the world was impermanent.

It's been a while since he woke up.

Now it is the end of summer and early autumn, and the weather is extremely hot.However, Fan Yi felt extremely cold all over his body, and it seemed that there was still the coldness in his ears when the cold wind howled.

Before his consciousness dissipated, he had already drifted up and down with the tumbling and never-freezing water of the Yangtze River, so why was he in his own home...

Thinking of this, Fan Yi suddenly looked at his hands, and his face was instantly pale as paper.

I saw that my hands were empty.

His child, the Jiaoer whom he risked his life to give birth to, has disappeared without a trace.

Fan Yi closed his eyes, and when he was hugging his weakly breathing Jiaoer and begged the man to seek medical treatment from a doctor, the man casually said among the sneering words of others: "Go back."

Enduring his sorrow, he slowly opened his eyes, raised his hands to his eyes, and looked carefully.

The fingers of these hands are thin and slender, the knuckles are distinct, and the right hand is slightly callused, so that people can tell at a glance that they are the hands of a pair of scholars.

The expression in Fan Yi's eyes changed, and he hastily turned his intact hand over to check.There is no scar, and the little finger of the right hand is also in place.

He was puzzled, turned his eyes, and looked at the desk next to the window in the room.

There are a few paintings on the desk, two pens, one thick and one thin, are inserted in the bamboo pen holder, and there is a square inkstone beside it.

This is the decoration in his bedroom before he arrived at the Chu Palace.

Fan Yi was full of doubts, staring at the painting on the desk.

What exactly is going on?

However, before he could think clearly, there was a tearing pain in his head, which made his eyes go dark and he passed out instantly.
