Chapter Thirty-Seven: To the North
Early the next morning, Yin Yaxuan got up early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The windows were white and it was snowing again.
Walking out of the snow, stepping on the creak, the snowflakes were blown to the cheeks by the wind, and they immediately melted, and it was cold, Yin Yaxuan couldn't help but shrink her neck.
It was too early, there was no one on the street, and the whole L.A. looked like a deserted city, and as far as the eye could see, it was in ruins.
Yin Yaxuan didn't know where to find her brother, she had searched all over Los Angeles, and if her brother was there, she would have found it a long time ago.
walked aimlessly to the gate of the city, and out of the city was the way Chi Yao took her up the mountain to collect medicine.
Yin Yaxuan suddenly thought of a place, the thatched hut on the mountain!
She took a step and ran up the hill.
She was eager in her heart, ran fast, exhaled a large amount of haze from her mouth, and the snowflakes around her body were swept up and flying up and down in the air.
After a while, the hut appeared in front of me.
It seems to be wrapped in a layer of white veil, and the thatched hut is snow-white, but the footprints in front of the door have not been completely covered by the snow, indicating that there are people living inside.
"Sister Chi Yao!" Yin Yaxuan ran forward and slammed open the door.
The door opened, and the snowflakes drifted from the door to the hut in twos and threes, and melted on the ground.
It was warm in the hut, and there was a hint of charcoal fire in the air.
There was an empty bowl on the table, and there was a brazier on the table, in which only white charcoal ash remained.
Obviously, someone lived here for the past two days.
But now, it's empty.
She's late.
Yin Yaxuan walked to the side of the bed, touching the quilt with her hand, and there was still a trace of residual warmth under the quilt.
People don't walk for long.
There must still be footprints.
The snow suddenly became heavier, and the scattered snowflakes turned into goose feather snow in a blink of an eye.
The footprints are becoming increasingly unrecognizable.
Yin Yaxuan walked in the direction of the footprints, the snow became heavier and heavier, and in the end, the footprints were completely invisible, she could only guess the general direction.
As it turned out, she was on the right track.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Yin Yaxuan saw something in front of her, like a stone.
When she stepped forward, she saw that it was a tombstone.
The tombstone is new, and the traces carved in stone on it are difficult to identify, and Yin Yaxuan recognized it for a long time before recognizing the word "Chi".
But what was below was too late for she to see, for it was covered with snow.
If it had snowed this morning, it would never have been so deep, unless it was a heavy snow on the thirtieth day, plus the snow that fell today.
On the thirtieth day, it was the day when the Rongdi people burned Los Angeles.
The surname of the owner of this tomb is Chi.
Could it be...... Grandpa Chi!
Yin Yaxuan's eyes instantly moistened, she took two steps back, and slowly knelt down.
She hadn't seen Chi Yao and Grandpa Chi since that morning, and after seeing this tomb, she could probably guess a few points.
Yin Yaxuan silently kowtowed three times.
The new snow was very soft, and Yin Yaxuan's kneeling legs were three points into the snow.
Since Grandpa Chi's tomb is here, there is no doubt that Chi Yao is the one who lives in the thatched hut.
But where did Chi Yao go now?
Yin Yaxuan stood up and patted her leg, and the snow on her leg was slapped off in three or two clicks.
But fortunately, Chi Yao was not in the city that night and escaped.
Yin Yaxuan was on the way home, and the snow gradually became lighter again.
My brother still hasn't found it, but she knows that Chi Yao is safe.
When she arrived at the city gate, Yin Yaxuan saw the camp of Xiao Yu and others.
When she went out of town in the morning, she didn't pay much attention because she was eager to go up the mountain, so she ignored it.
"Why are you here?"
They should be reorganizing the ranks, and it looks like they're leaving.
Everyone put on their armor and took their weapons, the horses snorted, and the fire was extinguished, leaving only one black fire after another in the snow.
"Are you leaving?" asked Yin Yaxuan.
Xiao Yu approached, looked at the sky and said, "I was going to leave a long time ago, but it snowed heavily, and now that the snow is light, I should go." ”
"Where?"
"North. ”
To the north, it is Xiangzhou, and further north, it is Rongdi.
He only said two words from the north, but Yin Yaxuan knew that Lieyun and Rong Di were going to war again.
Yin Yaxuan looked at Xiao Yu and opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word.
He was leaving, he was leaving, and her heart suddenly became inexplicably empty.
She still doesn't know what he has to do with his eldest brother and the Li family, how can he have the jade pendant of his eldest brother.
"Wait a minute. ”
Just when Xiao Yu turned around and wanted to get on the horse, Yin Yaxuan grabbed his sleeve again, as before.
Heavy armor, cold to the bone.
The coldness was transmitted from her fingertips to the bottom of her heart, and Yin Yaxuan suddenly became afraid.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu asked as he looked at his sleeves.
"You, when will you come back?" Yin Yaxuan looked at Xiao Yu's eyes, and she didn't notice the concern in her tone.
Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, his eyes looked at the north, and then at Yin Yaxuan, and a strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
"I probably won't be coming back. Xiao Yu's voice was no longer hoarse, and his original magnetism had regained.
His voice is very good.
"No...... Come back?" Yin Yaxuan didn't dare to think about the meaning of his words.
"Even if you want to go back, you will follow the army and return to Bianjing, and you should not go back to Los Angeles. Xiao Yu said, raising his hand to stroke the snowflakes on Yin Yaxuan's head.
Yin Yaxuan tugged at Xiao Yu's sleeve and suddenly let go.
On his chin, there is a small stubble, but it does not hide his handsomeness in the slightest.
"That's right. Yin Yaxuan lowered her head and whispered, Xiao Yu couldn't see her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Then I wish you peace. When Yin Yaxuan looked up again, there was a smile on her face.
Xiao Yu squinted, nodded, and turned over on his horse.
The others were already ready, and Niu Dali, who was not far away, shouted to this side: "Brother Xiao, if you don't leave, you won't be able to reach Xiangzhou tonight!"
Xiao Yu clamped the horse's belly between his legs, "Drive!"
Yin Yaxuan stood in place, watching the person in front of her get farther and farther away, smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu, who was walking in the front, stopped, turned around and said to Niu Dali: "You take the team first, and I will follow." ”
Niu Dali looked back, sighed heavily, and agreed.
The snow stopped, and Yin Yaxuan watched Xiao Yu run back again, and the horse's hooves splashed a snowflake.
"You take this. Xiao Yu took out a round object from his arms and threw it in front of Yin Yaxuan.
Yin Yaxuan caught it with both hands, it turned out to be the eldest brother's jade pendant.
"It's your thing, what do you do for me?"
"It's not mine, I just want to do something for its owner, but this time, I don't know if I can continue to do that thing, so I might as well give it to you." After speaking, Xiao Yu turned the horse's head and galloped away, not even hearing what Yin Yaxuan said.
"Do you know Li Xiaoyu?" Yin Yaxuan asked loudly towards Xiao Yu's back, but all that was left for her was calm.
