162 Letter from the Snow Palace
After walking for more than ten days, they walked out of the deep mountains and old forests to a small village. Although they also encountered wolves, tigers, leopards and other beasts along the way, with Aman, a wild master, in charge, they could beat these fierce beasts all over the ground every time, and they never dared to attack.
This village is so small, there are about 20 families, and it was already night when Su Ziqing and the others came to the village, so they stayed here tonight.
They were greeted by the village chief, an old man in his sixties, with dark skin and wrinkles on his face, which seemed to have the vicissitudes of time and the deposition of wisdom.
"Thank you, old village chief, we will borrow here for one night and leave tomorrow morning. ”
Su Ziqing thanked the old village chief who took them in again and again. In the past half a month, she has been embarrassed by the day of the quilt and the bed on the ground, and she has long wanted to find a big bed to cover the quilt and sleep well, so as not to sleep like sleeping in the forest, and always can't sleep peacefully every night.
Now her face was paler, and her cheeks, which had been emaciated, were getting thinner, and she looked a little like an anorex.
"Hey...... It doesn't matter!"
The old village chief smiled and waved his hand, but his smile suddenly froze.
"You came up from the Ghost Mist Peak, I didn't expect anyone to come out of the Ghost Mist Peak alive......"
The old village chief was a little melancholy, and his face was full of reminiscence. Later, Su Ziqing learned from the old village chief that he had a big brother who entered Ghost Mist Peak, but he never came out. I heard that they were very poor at that time, and the eldest brother went into the mountains to collect medicine for his mother's illness, but he didn't expect him to go back like this.
Hearing what the old village chief said, Su Ziqing and the others were silent, because they had been there and knew the danger inside, and they were all dead when they went in, not to mention that it was an ordinary person, and it was completely expected that his eldest brother could not come out of the Ghost Mist Peak. They didn't know how to comfort the sad old man, so they could only remain silent.
"Alas~ It's the old man, I'm talking too much, don't take it to heart. ”
The old village chief waved his hand and said to Su Ziqing and the others.
"We're fine, it's just...... You're old!"
Su Ziqing replied that she had sympathy and pity in her heart for this old man who looked even more hunchbacked.
"I'll take you to dinner, and then I'll have someone arrange a room for you. ”
A group of people divided into two tables, ate some peasant food, and were arranged into their rooms, and there was no entertainment in the countryside, and every day they ate and went to bed, or did some indescribable exercise.
There were not many rooms in the village, so there were two rooms for men and women, one for all men and another for women.
The girl's room is in the east of the village, closer to the village chief's big house, and the boy's room is next door to the girl's, which is quite close, and she won't worry about emergencies and can't find anyone.
There was only one bed in the room, and as soon as Ah Mei came in, she lay directly on the bed with a big grin, and announced that she would sleep in bed tonight.
"I'll be in bed tonight, don't grab any of you from me. ”
Ah Mei was like entering her own house, lying on the bed, not caring about anything.
"You get up for me. ”
Yun Xiang felt that she was about to explode, how could this person be like this, she didn't understand any politeness, sure enough, she came out of the deep mountains and old forests, and why did she sleep in the bed and Miss wanted to make a bunk on the floor, she would never allow this.
She took a few steps forward to pull Ah Mei up from the bed. But she didn't wait for her to catch the corner of the other party's clothes. Su Ziqing opened his mouth to stop it.
"Yunxiang forget it, let's lay the floor, your young lady and I are almost tired, why don't you come over and help......"
At first, Yunxiang still didn't want to come over, looking at her appearance, she seemed to want to beat her sister, but Su Ziqing had no choice but to make a fierce report, she was tired of being a young lady, and she definitely couldn't be idle as a slave.
successfully persuaded the angry Yunxiang back, and the three of them began to lay on the floor. And Ah Mei on the bed felt a little proud in her heart, she said that this surnamed Su didn't dare to fight with her to sleep in the bed, and look at it in the future, Brother Ah Man will also be hers.
It's just that Su Ziqing didn't dare to fight with her as she thought in her heart, Su Ziqing felt that her people had saved everyone she cared about, including herself, and it was okay to make a bed.
Yunshuang, the girl, didn't say a word from beginning to end, and quietly cleaned up the bed together and let Su Ziqing sleep first.
Su Ziqing was also really tired, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, and the sound of shallow breathing sounded softly. Yun Shuang saw that the young lady was asleep, so she beckoned to Yun Xiang on the other side, and she went out with herself.
"Do you want to tease that sister?"
She whispered in Yun Xiang's ear as she told her plan as well. As soon as the two of them conspired, they finally decided to do it, and one of them was still asleep in bed, completely unaware that he was going to be unlucky.
I don't know what Yunshuang wiped on Ah Mei's lips before going to bed, Ah Mei really got up in the middle of the night to find water to drink, but the kettle on the wooden table couldn't pour out a drop of water.
Ah Mei shook it vigorously twice and found that the kettle really had no water at all, so she had no choice but to go to the well outside to fetch water. When she came to the well, she searched around and found no wooden bucket to draw water.
"This ...... Don't the people of this village like to put the barrels that draw water by the well?"
Ah Mei muttered dissatisfiedly, and in the end, she had no choice but to run to the kitchen to find water.
When she arrived at the kitchen, she found that the kitchen door was unlocked, so she pushed the door in her heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ah Mei pushed the door, a big bucket of water fell from the sky on her head, and the water in the bucket also drenched her from beginning to end.
"Ah~"
She screamed, breaking the silence of the night and waking the whole village. Many villagers rushed from their homes with torches.
When everyone saw Ah Mei standing at the door of the kitchen wet, the villagers couldn't react for a moment.
Realizing that she was being looked at as a monkey by everyone, Ah Mei also reacted, and screamed again, so she covered her body and hurriedly ran to the girl's room. I also know how to be shy.
The next morning, Ah Mei asked Yun Xiang to settle the account, but Yun Xiang didn't admit that Ah Mei couldn't help her, and the matter was over. It's just that from that night on, Ah Mei caught a cold.
At this time, Su Ziqing had just gotten up, and when she heard that Ah Mei was caught by Yun Xiang, she couldn't help but teach this girl a lesson.
"I said that you just play tricks on people, why do you still have a tail? Next time you want to play tricks on people, you must make sure that no water leaks, otherwise don't play tricks on others. ”
When Fu Mo came in, he heard Su Ziqing's words, he twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, he didn't enter by himself, nor did he retreat. In the end, I can only fake a cough.
"Ahem...... Sister Qing'er, brother, I received a letter from Feixue Palace. ”
Fu Mo took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing's face flashed with surprise, and she immediately stood up from the chair, took the envelope and opened it. The letter said: Let them return to Kyoto as soon as possible with their belongings. The palace master of the Flying Snow Palace was waiting for them in Kyoto.
