Section 1 Heavy snow covers the mountains

The sound of jackdaws crossed the sky, the withered branches swayed in the wind, the entire Tianshan Mountains were shrouded in a white snow, it was the winter solstice of another year, the crystal snowflakes slowly fell to the ground along the green silk of the beauty, unconsciously, half a month has passed since the Tianshan Mountain was killed, smelling carefully in the air, as if it could still smell the slightest smell of blood, it can't help but make people sad, the Tianshan faction of more than 1,000 people was wiped out in one day, as soon as he thought of this, Duan Shuai's heart was full of sorrow, and it was difficult to extricate himself. Duan Shuai at this time www.biquge.info under Lu Yu's careful care, he was able to get out of bed slowly, every day, Lu Yu cooked the meal, and then went to the mountains with a bamboo basket on his back to collect medicine and firewood, and when he came back at night, he would help Duan Shuai carefully massage his stiff legs, and he took care of him meticulously. And Duan Shuai, although he knows it in his heart, but he has insufficient spare strength, and there is still no way to help Lu Yu collect medicine and chop firewood together, for a pampered lady who has been pampered since childhood, it is more difficult to do such work than to ascend to the sky, let alone take care of others, but Lu Yu is so special, she is not an ordinary lady, she has an innate kindness and hard-working quality, like her grandfather. On this day, the snow was all over the sky, thousands of mountains and birds were gone, only the low cry of crows was left in the quiet Tianshan Mountain, Duan Shuai's hands and feet were already able to move normally, Lu Yu went to the mountains to collect medicine again, and at noon, he was in a hurry Duan Shuai at home, although Lu Yu's martial arts were not low, and he was also familiar with the mountain roads, but after all, it was a daughter's house, and he was also braving such a big wind and snow, and the anxious Duan Shuai was pacing back and forth at home, if it wasn't for the internal injuries that had not healed, he couldn't wait to run out to find her immediately. At this time, a knock on the door made Duan Shuai overjoyed, and when he opened the door, it turned out to be not Lu Yu, but an old man with a child, I saw that they were dressed in tatters, looking at the old man, his face was full of wrinkles, like a layer of mountains as boundless, a pair of sunken eyes narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't open them, there were deep wrinkles embedded around his eyes, there were not a few eyebrows left, and he could barely see clearly, and he could clearly see a few scars on his forehead, as if he had just been left recently, and the old man seemed to be not young. And it can be seen that after years of hard work, his waist has been bent deeply, as if he has been bowing to Duan Shuai, and his hands full of holes are also unbearable to look at, he is struggling to carry a broken burden in his left hand, and his right hand is firmly holding a young and snow-white hand, which is in stark contrast to the old man's right hand. Like a ripe purple grape in July, he buried his little head deep into the collar of rags, a little scared, only half of his face was exposed, Duan Shuai looked them up and down, this annoyed people in this winter, the clothes were full of holes, they were simply unclothed, without waiting for them to speak, Duan Shuai immediately pulled the two into the hut, as soon as his hand touched the old man's hand, suddenly a cold feeling spread throughout his body, and his body involuntarily shivered, how cold is this old man's hand! It's like ice. After the old man and the child entered the house, they thanked him again and again, Duan Shuai rummaged around the house, found a tea set and prepared tea for the two to warm their stomachs, and then busily added some firewood to the stove. After handing over the tea, Duan Shuai and the two sat down around the stove, Duan Shuai looked at their comfortable appearance, his nose was sore, and asked: "It's cold, I don't know how the old man could take his child to this snowy deep mountain?" The old man drank water and said, "Thank you little brother for the rescue!" The old man's surname is Zhao, and he is a person from the north, so he has a hard time this year! Before the winter, we were not growing a single inch of grass, the grain was not harvested, and caught up with the war provoked by the Great Yan State against the Great Wei State, the soldiers burned and looted in our place, and the living people in the whole village escaped, and the old man had to take his little grandson to flee here, to avoid the limelight, where did he think that it had such a heavy snow when he walked to this boundary, and it was not so cold here in previous years, and the heavy snow fell for several days in a row, and he didn't see a family along the way, I'm almost going to freeze my grandfather and grandson to death in the mountains! The old man's eyes began to moisten as he spoke, "It's just that I pity my little grandson, who was supposed to be roasting around the stove at home, but he followed me and wandered here, thanks to you, little brother, otherwise. . . Ay! Duan Shuai's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with relief: "Old man, don't say that, it's fate that we can meet, and the rivers and lakes are in emergency!" The younger generation's surname is Duan, a single name is a handsome character, Daddy Zhao, why don't you see the child's parents? "They're all dead! They were all killed by the Wei people! I saw the child poke his head out and replied with a blank face. Duan Shuai was taken aback: this child was not ordinary, although he was only five or six years old, he had a cold aura. "Little brother, don't be surprised, the child's life is hard, not long after he was born, his parents were killed in a Wei Yan war, and our family has left such a little bloodline." The old man said as he wiped away tears. Duan Shuai knew that he was not asking a good question, so he didn't know what to do for a while, so he changed the topic, paused and asked the child, "Little brother, what's your name?" How old is it? "Zhao Nian! It's five years old! The child was no longer timid at this time, and replied loudly. Nian'er, good name, Duan Shuai chewed on this name in his mouth for a long time. "Old man, relax, it's freezing outside, you can live here with me, it's just that this house is simple, I hope the old man doesn't mind." Duan Shuai saw that the old man looked out the window at the snow from time to time, as if he wanted to leave, and hurriedly stayed away. "Thank you little brother, there is a lot of disturbance, if this heavy snow stops, we will leave, dare to ask the little brother, is there anyone else in this family?" The old man asked a little more relieved. Duan Shuai replied: "There is still one at home. . . I have a younger sister who went out to chop wood, and because I was not in good health, she also went to pick some herbs to replenish my body. Daddy Zhao, you can relax and stay, and when it is warm, it will not be too late for you to leave. The two of you chatted word by word, and the sadness in Duan Shuai's heart was temporarily erased by this lively atmosphere. Unconsciously, the sky was getting dark, Duan Shuai saw that Lu Yu had not returned, he was very worried, and the old man saw him with a sad face, so he asked, "Little brother, are you worried about your sister?" Yes, this ice and snow, let's go out and find it, it just so happens that the old man is almost resting, I just came from the mountains, I still have some knowledge of this mountain road, and I will go out with you to find it! "Old man, you still stay at home, and you still have children to take care of, I'll just go by myself!" Duan Shuai hurriedly refused. "It's okay, Nian'er is sensible, it's no problem to stay at home, let's go, I'll go out together!" As he spoke, the old man went to get the coat and hat in the house to put it on, put it on for Duan Shuai, and went out with Duan Shuai.
