go away!Don't attack me!

Daqian Empire, Tianhua 17th Year, Winter.

It was the coldest day of the year, the coldest time of the year, and there were several heavy snowfalls one after another, with the snow on the ground more than a foot deep.In this kind of weather, even the most diligent people can only stay at home obediently, huddled under the quilt or curled up by the stove, and survive this cold winter.

In the middle of the afternoon, the snow started to fall again.

One after another, the goose-feather-like snow no longer fluttered in pieces, but fell in groups, and the snow on the ground accumulated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There are no pedestrians on the road, no birds in the sky, but there is a figure climbing the mountain.

Obviously, this is never a good time to climb mountains.

Feixue has its own spirituality, perhaps in order to stay in the wind for a while longer, so it always likes to fall to a lower place, unintentionally making this rough land more and more flat and clean.

It's just that no one knows whether there is solid soil, sharp rocks, or deep traps under this flat surface... Maybe one step down will lead to the abyss.

Of course, it could be something else.

Like a sharp sword tip.

Yun Qi crouched on the ground, sighing.

Ever since he hired a master who likes to sigh, he has also been infected with this problem. He likes to sigh twice when there is nothing to do, not to mention that he is really in trouble now?

He was lucky not to be hurt by the insidious sharp sword, but when he wanted to remove the sword to prevent it from being stepped on by some unlucky ghost, he pulled out a hand, and on the hand, he even Next to a dead man, next to a dead man, next to another dead man.

A lot of dead people.

After Yun Qi pulled out the three dead people, he didn't continue.

There is only fresh floating snow on these dead people, and the last heavy snow was two days ago, so this battle, or massacre, took place in these two days.

This road is the only way to Kudu Temple, and it only leads to Kudu Temple, so if these people didn't go the wrong way in a panic, then they were planning to go to Kudu Temple, or they just went to Kudu Temple. Leave from Kudu Temple.

No matter which one it is, it is related to Kudu Temple, and the trouble of Kudu Temple is his trouble... It is impossible to pretend not to see it.

Yun Qi looked around, stopped and walked along the mountain path, and finally stopped at the edge of a cliff, where the snow had obvious signs of falling in a large area.

Yun Qi stretched his neck and looked down, then squatted down, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and threw a handful: "No one jumped from here, right?"

The copper plates were scattered, Yun Qi glanced at them, picked them up one by one unhappily, and threw them again: "They are already dead, right?"

"Alas! All right!"

Yun Qi continued to throw again: "Even if I don't care, their lives are not in danger, right?"

Three nos in a row, although they were all expected, but Yun Qi still felt that today's luck is not very good!

Putting the copper plate back into his pocket, he got up and walked forward for a mile before stopping at a cliff.

First he took off the pannier on his back, took out a heavy monk robe and threw it on the ground, then tied up the pannier again, and pushed it down from the edge of the cliff.

Seeing Gululu with the back basket disappear from sight, Yun Qi wrapped the big monk's robe that could hold three of him, and slid down the cliff.

oh!yeah!Land safely!

Yun Qi patted his butt and got up, not very happy: it's fun to play, but the problem is, it's easy to get down and hard to get up!Just slipping away like this, the mountain he climbed for half a day was in vain.

Yun Qi found his own pannier not far away, put it on his back again, and started walking in one direction.

In a shallow but not narrow cave that can barely be called a "cave", three people were half lying and half sitting.

There are two men and one woman, both of whom are well-dressed and handsome, yet they both describe themselves as embarrassed.

It was Gu Yaoqin who loved to laugh the most, no smile on her face, gloomy, curled up hugging her knees.

Compared with the two people around her, she was in a better situation, sitting in the most sheltered position, and besides her own fur, she also had a thick cloak. More importantly, she was the only one among the three who was not injured.

Even so, she also felt that she couldn't last long, her feet had long since lost feeling, her hands were also numb, and it seemed that there was only a trace of heat left in her chest.

How did that happen?Could it be that she, Gu Yaoqin, will die here?This is too ridiculous!

But someone has already died here. The owner of her cloak, the guard who protected them and escaped here, died in front of them not long ago because of not too serious injuries.

Such weather, good people can't last long, let alone injured?

The snow outside was falling more and more, and nothing could be heard except the sound of snow falling, as if there were only a few living creatures left in the whole world.

Gu Yaoqin reluctantly rubbed her hands together to get a little bit of warmth: It is said that if a person does not eat, he can live for seven days, but in this weather, there is no fire, no food, let alone seven days, one more day, she should be hard .

food……

Her gaze unconsciously glanced at the corpse at the entrance of the cave, and she retracted as if frightened, taking a deep breath nervously... No, no!No, no!

Liu Yue who was sitting next to her didn't look back, but seemed to sense her gaze, and said calmly: "The people behind us are only two days behind us, and people from the temple often go down the mountain, and it will take two days at the slowest. Someone will find it."

I have said this several times, but it didn't bring much strength to Gu Yaoqin. She didn't think she could last two days, but she still let out a "huh" with a soft voice.

The man on the outermost side frowned and looked at the sky, and said, "I'll go out and look around to see if I can find something to start the fire. If this continues, I won't even be able to make it through tonight."

Gu Yaoqin's eyes showed hope. In the current situation, fire is more life-saving than food.

Liu Yue said: "Even if the fourth brother wants to go, he has to wait for the snow to stop. Now I can't even see the road clearly. What can I find?"

"Fourth brother" fell silent, frowned slightly as he watched the snow falling harder and harder outside.

In such a climate, the time for them to be found out and searched for will be extended to the maximum... It is said that the slowest two days is actually the fastest two days.

There was a deathly silence in the cave.

After an unknown amount of time, the two men who closed their eyes and leaned against the mountain wall opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and held the cold sword hilt with their frozen hands.

Gu Yaoqin, who was about to ask questions, shut up under Liu Yue's gaze, and looked out of the cave nervously.

"Crack, creak..." The footsteps sounded unhurriedly, and they were getting closer. The hearts of the three seemed to be beating with the footsteps. "Fourth brother" said in a low voice, "It's a human."

There is tension in the voice, but also hope.

Those who come now may be life-saving, or they may be fatal.

The sound of footsteps approached, and some vague figures appeared in their field of vision restricted by the cave in the snowstorm.

The tension in the hearts of the three faded away, leaving only pure surprise: the person who came here should be just a young man, wearing a bamboo hat, but no coir raincoat, wearing a coarse cloth short robe, half-worn cloth shoes on his feet, and Carrying a back basket most commonly used by people in the nearby mountains is probably because I am used to walking on mountain roads, and I don’t feel much effort in walking in such heavy snow.

The entrance of the cave was very large, and it was level with the ground, so there was nothing to hide, so when they saw the boy, the boy also saw them, and after a pause in his footsteps, he walked in from outside the wind and snow, and took off his bamboo hat.

The three of them who had been staring straight at him suffocated, even in this situation, they were still overwhelmed by it, it was because the young man's appearance was too outstanding, even the three who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women When I met him in such a wild place, I also felt a strong sense of unreality. I felt that he was not like a real person, but more like a mountain spirit and water charm from somewhere.

It was Liu Yue who reacted the most, his pupils narrowed in an instant, as if he was about to jump up, but because his body was numb from the cold, he struggled a little and then fell back, his gaze fell on the young man's face without blinking.

Yun Qi's reaction to the three people was as if he hadn't seen it before, and his eyes swept slightly in the corner: in that place, there were smoked and blackened branches, leftover strips of cloth, used up fire folds, and... um, Should it be a tool for drilling wood to make fire?

This pile of things vividly outlines in Yunqi's mind the entire process of making fire from their constant attempts to giving up in despair: first use the fire to light the branches—failure, then use the fire to light the clothes in order to ignite the branches. Once it fails, after a few rounds, the fire is burned out, so I start drilling wood to make fire, and the final result is known without asking—failure.

"Do you need help?"

The boy's voice was clear and pleasant, full of vitality, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of freezing and stiffness coming from the wind and snow.

The few people looked at each other in silence, wondering if this question still needs to be asked?

Liu Yue said hoarsely, "What do you think?"

What do I say?I said no need.

Yun Qi cursed in his heart, you must know that when he saw these people clearly, he almost turned around and left.

But it's just thinking about it, he didn't leave much hatred for them in his previous life, and it's been more than ten years in this life, and he doesn't feel much anymore... Of course, hatred is inevitable.

So the young man took off the back basket under the gaze of three pairs of eyes.

He moved very neatly. First he pulled out two monk robes and a thin blanket and threw them to them. Then he took out three sesame seed cakes and handed them to the "fourth brother" who was closest to him. Drizzle the sesame oil inside on the branches and leaves, and light it with a torch.

After finishing this series of tasks three times, five times and two times apart, he put the fire bag, sesame oil, bamboo hat, and basket on the ground one by one. Yun Qi clapped his hands, turned around and left.

Because his speed was so fast, the three of them waited for him to get out of the cave and walked a few steps before they realized it. Gu Yaoqin asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"

Yun Qi didn't turn his head back, and said angrily: "Of course I'm going home, if I don't go home, I'll stay here to celebrate the New Year with you!"

Gu Yaoqin's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "You...you...you left us here?"

The young man stopped and turned around, and looked at them in disbelief: "All things are left for you, food, drink, clothes, fire... what else do you want?"

Gu Yaoqin has never been treated so impatiently by someone, let alone the other party is a country boy, but now the situation is stronger than others, she bit her lip and said: "It's so windy here, can you..."

Before he could speak, he saw that the young man had already turned around and left, leaving her a handsome back, and his face turned pale with anger.

It's just that although the boy left, he didn't go far. Instead, he squatted down on the hillside in front of him and rubbed a ball of snow.

The snow was very thick, and the snow ball rolled on the ground twice randomly, forming a big snowball, which began to roll down the hillside, bigger and faster, and came straight to the entrance of the cave.

Gu Yaoqin exclaimed, and before she had time to yell and curse, she heard a bang, the snowball hit the entrance of the cave hard, and snow foam flew everywhere.

"what are you doing?!"

Gu Yaoqin didn't care about the stiff hands and feet, and struggled to get up to clean up the snowflakes splashed on her body. "Fourth Brother" said: "Don't you think the wind is too strong? It's gone now."

The smashed snow mass just sealed most of the entrance of the cave, leaving only a barely accessible cave for people to enter and exit, and the chill immediately disappeared for most of it.

The three of them looked at each other, wondering what it was like: It turned out that sealing the entrance of the cave was such a simple matter, so what did they suffer all night and half a day before?

He even froze a person to death.

"Ah," Gu Yaoqin let out a soft cry to break the silence, and said, "We forgot to ask his name, after all he helped us and left so many things behind... Judging by his appearance, life at home should be very poor , we should give him some money."

"Fourth brother" said: "He appeared on this road with a brand new monk's robe with him, it should be related to Kudu Temple, we just need to inquire after we get to the temple.

"The most important thing now is to find out who is attacking us and who leaked our itinerary. If this issue is not clarified, even if we leave the mountain alive, we may not be able to return to Beijing alive."

Liu Yue remained silent, not even a word of "fourth brother" fell into my ears.

He thought that the world was so big that he would never meet him again in this life, but he didn't want the young man who had stepped on his iron shoes and had nowhere to find him to appear in front of him defenselessly like this.

He thought that without that person's blessing and arrogance, even that child would become oblivious to everyone, but he didn't think that in this life, he was still the same as in the previous life, living cleaner than anyone else, and living a life cleaner than anyone else. Freedom, even with cloth and sandals, it is clean and comfortable that cannot be concealed.

It's really enviable...it's embarrassing.
