Sleepy Dragon Snow Mountain.

It was night, the pine shook gently, and the silver glow was everywhere, illuminating this snow-white world pure and flawless. Since the emperor's slurry flourished, the first snowflake between heaven and earth finally fell. The Sleepy Dragon Snow Mountain on the border of Yunzhou has ushered in more than a dozen heavy snowfalls in the past three months.

In the silence, there was a creaking sound coming from the snow, but it was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old who was running in a hurry. In this foggy and dripping weather, he was only wearing a shabby cotton suit. Probably running too fast, there was a slight sweat on his forehead, and when he was blown by the wind, he froze into thin ice in the blink of an eye.

He was obviously not too familiar with the terrain, and every moment he had to stop to make sense of his surroundings and look in fear at the dark path. A heavy snowfall three days ago had brought the snow on the ground to more than a foot thick, and he stepped on it one foot deep and one foot shallow, not knowing how much it slipped. The worst thing is that the footprints left on the snow are so clear that even a young boy can easily track him.

He grabbed his arm and rubbed it quickly, hoping to regain some heat. The cold outdoors was so terrible that it almost squeezed his body to the ground, and after a short run, he felt that his knees could barely bend.

A gust of cold wind blew, almost taking away the last bit of heat from his body, but he was not surprised. Soft but fine snowflakes are falling from the sky, and it seems that another heavy snowfall is coming. This snow can cover his whereabouts for him and buy him a little more time to escape.

Good things come in pairs. In the fluttering snowflakes, he finally saw a faint light in front of him. Immediately grinned with joy, but was poured into a mouthful of snow by the wind. He remembered that there was a small village under the mountain, and the pale yellow light looked so warm. Let his tired body squeeze a little strength again. Come on!

After a quarter of an hour, he finally ran into the little col, and was only a dozen steps away from the largest and most lit house in the village. But by this time, his legs had lost sensation, and he shook with every step. He staggered twice, and his stiff body finally refused to obey the call, and fell straight to the snow.

It's only five steps away. He was only five steps away from reaching the door, and when the curtain was lifted, it was a warm world inside! The wind in this col no longer howls. But the coldness of the falling snow was not inferior, and he lay down for a few breaths before feeling that the vitality in his body was sucked away by the ice and snow on the ground.

Finally, he still can't run away? He was so unwilling. Tears welled up in the corners of the boy's eyes. Before he could even shed his cheeks, he turned into thin ice. But he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to wipe it.

His vision was blurring......

So he didn't know that as soon as he closed his eyes, the curtain in the big room was lifted, and a young man in his early twenties came out. He didn't even make a move to look around after leaving the house, but approached the boy on the snow, grabbed him by the clothes of his vest and lifted him up. Although this young man is thin, he also has a body size of nearly 100 catties. In this man's hand, it doesn't seem to be much heavier than a chicken.

The young man entered the house. threw him to the ground and said coldly, "I got people in." He was frozen unconscious, but he couldn't die. ”

The girl sitting at the table comforted him and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he came and touched the carotid artery of the unconscious young man, and found that his heart was still beating weakly but stubbornly. "This kid is very strong, and I have the heart to save him. She was wearing a plain velvet embroidered jacket with rolled edges, and her black hair was only shaped with a royal blue tucui peacock hanging hairpin, which looked indescribably refreshing in this cramped room.

The shopkeeper was probing his brain behind the counter when he saw the girl turn her head and smile at him and say, "Shopkeeper, help me wake up this boy." He turned his hand over, and there were two taels of silver lying in his palm.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled, and sent away the guys in the store: "Rabbit cubs, you know that you are in a daze, why don't you hurry up and save people?" He reached out to take the ingot of silver, but when he saw that in the dim light, the girl's delicate palm was so white that it glowed, and the light of the silver was compared to it. "On a snowy day, such a beautiful girl actually stayed in my inn. But the man who came with the girl had a cold face, and the old eyes of the shopkeeper knew countless people, and this person saw that he had seen blood on his hands, so he would not provoke him.

He swallowed his saliva secretly, didn't dare to look any more, and quickly took the silver. The people who were rescued had stiff joints, faintly blue on their bodies, and even ice on their hair. The guys and helpers of the inn have lived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain for a long time, and they don't know how many frostbitten travelers they have seen, so they naturally know how to treat them, and they are carried into the guest rooms upstairs immediately. Someone poured a few sips of liquor into the unconscious boy's mouth, then brought in a few pots of white snow, undressed him, and rubbed his body repeatedly with snow until his skin turned red.

The girl, who had been watching with relish, suddenly pursed her lips and turned her head to look away. For someone was shouting discontentedly in her ear, "Turn your head!

This girl is naturally Ning Xiaoidle. "I don't look at him, do you want to show me?" she thought to herself, and her face turned a little red. After getting along for so long, she knew that Changtian's body was very material, and naturally it was incomparable to this skinny little boy on the ground.

Whether it's her or Tu Di, the ears are excellent. The sound of the boy staggering outside the window, the sound of falling into the snow, made her listen. If this person fell in the snowy mountains, she was beyond the reach of the whip. But he fell at the door of this inn, but how could he let Ning Xiaoxian see death and not save him?

Just as he was thinking about it, the guys who were saving people shouted in a low voice, and suddenly stood up, and it turned out that the back of the young man's hand on the ground was printed with a small ghost face pattern. He may have rubbed it himself, and the pattern was already a little blurry when he was rubbed by the snow just now, but he could still see the expression of the fierce ghost sticking out his tongue and smiling.

When the guys saw this expression, their faces changed greatly, and they refused to even approach the boy, let alone continue to treat him.

"Shopkeeper?" she said, turning to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper who was standing on the side and watching the excitement obviously saw this mark, and his originally smiling face sank: "Girl, this young man turned out to be the person named by the mountain god, and we didn't dare to treat it if we knew it was like this, and we didn't dare to treat it how much money we gave!"

She touched the young man's chest lightly, and found that his body was already hot, so she pulled the quilt on the bed and covered him, and said to the shopkeeper, "Bring another quilt." ”

The shopkeeper was still hesitating, and she was already displeased: "It's just a quilt, and it's not for you to go head-to-head with the mountain god, what are you afraid of?"

Her face has always been very gentle, but now she suddenly became stiff, and she was a little stern, probably because she had been with Changtian for a long time, and she was unconsciously infected by him.

The shopkeeper was stunned, but still asked the man to bring in a quilt, but then he said, "Girl." When this man wakes up, we will not be able to take him in. ”

The innkeeper who welcomed guests with a smile and did business actually wanted to drive the patient into the ice and snow? Tu Quan, who had been sent by Ning Xiaoxian to save people, was already unhappy and shook up from downstairs, and just heard this, he couldn't help but say coldly: "This mountain god, what a great ability!" He didn't have an explosion of a sense of justice, but hated the alienation and panic in the shopkeeper's tone. He was a great monk, and no mortal dared to speak to him like this. If it weren't for Ning Xiaoxian beside him, he would have raised his hand to collect the shopkeeper's soul.

The shopkeeper felt the faint evil aura on his body, and remembered the ferret coat that Ning Xiaoxian put on the hanging of his clothes when he entered the door, knowing that these two people were either rich or expensive, with backgrounds and backgrounds, it was not easy to offend casually, so he had to say with a bitter face: "The two of you don't know, this mountain god who is trapped in Long Snow Mountain often names and arrests people." The captive will never be seen again. ”

"Really?" Tu leaned against the door with his hands around his chest, squinting at him, "If the mountain god catches people casually, how can you still run an inn here?"

The shopkeeper's face showed a little embarrassment: "That's the case, the mountain god will only arrest outsiders, and never touch the local residents." And under the control of the mountain gods, the monsters on the snow-capped mountains never harass us. So...... So ......"

Ning Xiaoxian finished speaking for him: "So when you meet someone named by the mountain god, you will drive the person back to the snow mountain and send it to the mountain god?"

The shopkeeper lowered his head, but acquiesced.

These people treat their fellow citizens so cold-blooded!

Probably a little difficult to get over on his conscience, the shopkeeper defended again: "In our village, there were soft-hearted people who took in the people named by the mountain god, but on the third day, the whole family was killed. We, we're all scared. ”

"When did the mountain god start arresting people?"

"For nearly thirty years, the mountain god has occasionally caught some travelers and solitary guests into the mountains at this time. ”

"Only at this time?" It was the middle of February, and it was freezing cold. The snow and ice do not melt until the beginning of March, so travelers waiting to cross the mountain generally choose to walk to the foot of the mountain at this time.

Without these travelers, how could this inn be needed in the small village? She frowned and was about to speak, but Chang Tian in the God and Demon Prison said lightly: "Don't meddle a lot. ”

"Got it. She pursed her lips, and the shopkeeper thought she was answering him. Seeing that she didn't have anything to ask, she found a reason to go downstairs, and only halfway through, the crisp voice of the girl upstairs sounded, "Shopkeeper, get a bowl of hot rice porridge, this person is about to wake up." ”

He hesitated for a moment, but saw that Tu Du's blade-like eyes swept over, so he had to nod with a wry smile and go to prepare. I hope these two fellows, who don't know the height of the sky, don't bring evil to him. As soon as the boy woke up, he said that he would want the guys in the store to blow him away!
