Chapter 18: The Wounded Cold Front
When the sky was hazy, Zhan Mei got up from the straw, yesterday night Zhan Mei had found that there was no firewood to keep out the cold today, and it didn't matter if she was strong in martial arts, but the person who was lying on the ground, who was seriously injured and is still unconscious, left the firewood to keep out the cold, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter what, I must get enough firewood back today, thinking of this, Zhan Mei went out of the mountain temple, and closed the door with her hands to prevent wild things in the mountains from breaking into and hurting the people in the house.
Zhan Mei didn't know that it was snowing last night, and when she stepped on the eaves of the mountain temple when she went out, her feet sank into the calf-deep snow, and Zhan Mei walked up the mountain with difficulty. In the past, the lush mountains have been covered with snow at this moment, and only a piece of white is left between the heaven and the earth, Zhan Mei can't see all this, only burying her head and walking up the mountain, thinking in her heart: "Today's road is more slippery than a few days ago, I knew that I should have prepared a little more firewood, and now I came out to find firewood in this weather, which is really self-inflicted."
The snow decorates this land with holy and immaculate, wrapped in silver, and a string of crystal clear ice sculptures hangs on the branches in the distance, which is strange and strange, constituting a world of ice and snow to compete for the sun at noon, the lazy sun spreads the light to the world, the golden sunlight shines on the ice, the ice shines with beautiful light, and the two complement each other beautifully.
In winter, the sun shines warmly on the body, without a single edge, and the eaves of the mountain temple are hung with long ice cubes, which are extremely hard, and there is no sign of melting under the sun. In the winter mountains, everything withered, Zhan Mei held a bundle of withered branches and walked out of the distant mountains with difficulty, her body was already soaked, her head was full of snowflakes, and her feet stepped on the thick snow, making a "crunch" echo.
"Crunch", Zhan Mei held the firewood and had to use her feet, kicked open the old wooden door from the outside, and the cold wind that whirred in an instant poured into the mountain temple along the open gate, Zhan Mei shook the snowflakes on her body, entered the mountain temple and quickly put down the firewood in her hand, turned around and closed the door, blocking the cold wind outside, the cold outside and the warm interior are like two worlds.
In the dilapidated mountain temple, the howling cold wind slipped in along the dilapidated window coffin, Zhan Mei stood by the window coffin of the dew wind and used her body to block the thief wind that kept drifting in, knowing that the person did not have a fever, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhan Mei passed by on the street that night, and inadvertently saved the person who was adjacent to death, although Zhan Mei had used her true qi to dredge the meridians for this unconscious person, but this person's martial arts were low, and she couldn't bear too much true qi, Zhan Mei did her best, and the rest depended on the life of the person in front of her.
Zhan Mei listened attentively to the cold wind whistling outside the mountain temple, and knew in her heart that today was the annual Laba Festival, but she was alone outside, there was no family reunion or sweet and delicious Laba porridge, only a boy with unknown life and death lying in the broken temple to accompany her, it was really desolate, Zhan Mei thought secretly.
Leng Feng lay pale on the broken quilt covered with straw, lying there quietly, if it weren't for the faint sound of breathing, I am afraid that it would be no different from a dead person.
"Suddenly Zhan Mei heard the crunch of straw, it should be that the man lying on the ground woke up", Zhan Mei secretly guessed. Zhan Mei heard the movement, and when she listened attentively, the movement disappeared without a trace, as if what she had just heard was just an illusion, and Zhan Mei retracted her steps, still blocking the window.
Leng Feng's pale face was bloodless, his long eyelashes trembled, and he regained his calm, the pain in his body made Leng Feng frown, Leng Feng slowly opened his closed eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, his eyes that had been closed for a long time were swelled and painful by the strong light, Leng Feng subconsciously raised his hand to block the light, until it was dark in front of him, Leng Feng felt a little more comfortable in his heart.
After waking up, all the pain suffered by his body in an instant came wildly, Leng Feng felt that the bones of his whole body had been broken, lying on the ground and unable to move, the scenes before passing out appeared in Leng Feng's mind, thinking that he was beaten and kicked by a group of family members, and his former good friends laughed at him on the side, this time he was insulted, trampled on his dignity, Leng Feng's heart was like being overturned, Leng Feng really couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, a pair of hands full of scars, clutching the straw under him, The muscles are exposed, and the face is hideous, like a demon in hell.
After the rage, Leng Feng felt that his throat was dry and smoking, and he muttered weakly: "Someone! Is there anyone? I want to drink water, water ......"
Zhan Mei heard that the unconscious person woke up, shouted for water, groped through the window to the place where the water was released, took the kettle and slowly walked to the straw bed, estimated the approximate location and stopped, and handed the kettle in his hand to the man without saying a word.
Leng Feng heard someone coming to his side, but stopped but didn't speak, just stood quietly aside, Leng Feng estimated that he was the benefactor who saved him! If you don't speak, you're probably dumb! Leng Feng thought secretly.
Leng Feng slowly removed the hand blocking his eyes, and was about to say thank you, looking at the kettle in front of him, Leng Feng's whole mind was only "water", Leng Feng stretched out his hand with difficulty, grabbed the kettle, trembled and touched the kettle to his mouth, and drank it non-stop, but he didn't expect to drink it urgently, Leng Feng was lying down again, Leng Feng was choked by the cold water, "cough cough cough" coughed non-stop, Leng Feng felt that his throat was hot and painful, and his lungs were also hot and painful, and what was even more tragic was that Because the violent cough involved the wounds on his body, Leng Feng, who was uncomfortable for a while, burst into tears, and the water flowed down the corners of his mouth to his neck and clothes, and Leng Feng's goosebumps rose, and now Leng Feng finally knows what it means to be "not the worst, only worse".
After the pain in his throat and lungs subsided, Leng Feng felt that he was alive again, gasped weakly, opened his blurry eyes, looked around, looked at the environment he was in, and asked with a blank and puzzled look in his eyes: "Where am I?" How could it be in the middle of this barren mountain? ”
Zhan Mei didn't answer the man's question, and only sat on the ground as a stump.
Leng Feng's gaze looked around, fixed on the person sitting on the ground with his back to him, and saw that the back was a woman, but this is too incredible! It turned out to be a female beggar who saved himself, Leng Feng looked at the strands of hair of the life-saving benefactor, and the tip of his nose smelled a foul smell from the other party's body, and he felt sick to his stomach and resisted.
"Heavens! O earth! Even if a beauty saves a hero, this beauty is too hurtful! Fate is really cruel," Leng Feng thought with disgust.
Leng Feng felt that he was stiff and had a terrible headache, it seemed that he should have been lying down for too long, his blood was not smooth, and his muscles were stiff. Leng Feng tried to move his limbs, and he felt in his mind that he should have successfully moved, but the numb limbs made Leng Feng unable to feel whether he was moving or not, Leng Feng struggled for a long time with little effect, and he was dizzy from tiredness.
Leng Feng was furious: "Are you dead or what, didn't you see Leng Ye struggling here for a long time, wouldn't you reach out to help?"
Zhan Mei heard that this ungrateful guy would direct herself to do this and that as soon as she woke up, her attitude was not good at all, so she ignored him and just sat on the ground silently.
"I want to sit up, it's too uncomfortable to lie down", Leng Feng didn't react at all when he saw the beggar woman with his back to him, afraid that she would be angry and leave him and run away, so he lowered his voice and begged angrily.
"Aren't you very good at scolding just now? Go on, this girl hasn't heard enough, and when you've scolded enough, I'm talking to you" Zhan Mei dropped a sentence, got up and walked towards the door.
Leng Feng saw the female beggar walking towards the door without looking back, thinking that she would leave herself alone, and anxiously wanted to say good things and beg her, but he didn't expect that the wounds on his body would be affected by excitement, and there was no place in his body that did not hurt, Leng Feng was suddenly in sharp pain, cold sweat was gurgling in pain, and he moaned in his mouth "Ouch......"
"Do you want to die early? With such a serious injury, I haven't had a good rest, I just wanted to make some porridge for you, where do you want to go", Zhan Mei explained with her head down.
"Hey, hey, hey" Leng Feng laughed awkwardly, trying to hide his chicken intestines and little belly saying good things in his mouth, trying to ease the relationship between the two, after all, in the future, he will have to rely on the female beggar in front of him.
After talking for a long time, the woman in front of her didn't look at Leng Feng, and Leng Feng felt insulted: "Girl, why don't you talk and don't look up at people?" Wouldn't this be too shy", Leng Feng found a topic with nothing to do, trying to conquer the beggar woman in front of her with a beautiful man's trick, so that she could take care of herself wholeheartedly.
"Hehe" Zhan Mei sneered and said: "This girl is afraid that you will be timid and intimidated, so she didn't look up when she talked to you, and your kindness was questioned by you, after all, in this barren mountains and mountains, it is still very difficult to find someone to chat with to relieve boredom."
"How can this son be those ordinary people who value appearance, the girl should not be underestimated, I want my son to say! The most important thing for a person is the beauty of the soul, no matter how beautiful the appearance is like a scorpion, it is still ugly and disgusting" Leng Feng looked at the female beggar's lowered head and talked eloquently, as if he was a righteous gentleman who only paid attention to the beauty of the soul and light on appearance.
"Really? Since Childe doesn't care, then I'm not welcome", Zhan Mei said with a strange tail note.
After speaking, Zhan Mei turned around, raised her head and looked at Leng Feng, who was smiling with a smile on her face, she was almost scared to pee by the face she saw, and she felt nauseous in her heart, only to see the woman in front of her: "On the snow-white skin, there is a large corroded scar, the red scar is like a wriggling maggot that makes people sick, the dense pits on the facial features, the smooth skin at the hairline and the folds on the face form a huge contrast, looking shocking", Leng Feng couldn't help but tremble slightly, his mouth opened and closed, I don't know what to say, I was so frightened that I lost my voice.
Zhan Mei's eyes were as stiff as dead fish eyes, her hollow eyes were not shiny, a gust of wind blew through the messy hair and floated to Zhan Mei's eyes, Zhan Mei's eyes didn't blink, she shook her head, threw her hair down, and looked directly at Leng Feng, Leng Feng looked at the person in front of him, and reflexively swallowed her saliva.
Zhan Mei opened a pair of big dead fish eyes, looked directly at Leng Feng, couldn't take her eyes off, her long black hair hung down on her chest, and her body exuded a foul smell, Zhan Mei approached Leng Feng vigorously, repeatedly testing Leng Feng's bottom line: "Childe, do you say I'm beautiful?" and squirming with his messy hair." Leng Feng looked at the ugly female beggar in front of him, kept leaning in front of him, and asked himself if he was beautiful with a little daughter attitude, so he didn't vomit.
Zhan Mei kept leaning on Leng Feng, Leng Feng's body couldn't move, and finally the two almost leaned together face to face, Leng Feng wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat, Leng Feng closed his eyes in fear, he felt that this devilish woman, getting closer and closer to him, was already leaning on himself, with her dirty hands, caressing his handsome face, Leng Feng closed his eyes, his long eyelashes kept shaking, and tears flowed down his cheeks. Leng Feng felt the devilish woman: "She lies on her body tightly, sniffing her essence like a devil, picking yang and replenishing yin, father!" Mother! The child is dying, help! Leng Feng rolled his eyes, his legs were up, and he fainted in fright, and he didn't know anything about the rest......
"What a villain", Zhan Mei patted Leng Feng's cheek lightly, and said in a mocking tone: "I just said that the beauty of the soul is the most important, and it was only a few seconds before I slapped myself in the mouth, and I deserved to be scared to death."
Leng Feng felt like a small boat, tossing and falling in the vast sea, and suddenly an overwhelming wave hit, Leng Feng was submerged in the cold seawater, struggling weakly with his hands and feet, and slowly lost his breath in the sea.
Zhan Mei shook the unconscious man vigorously, not splashing with water, but it was not that Zhan Mei was kind-hearted, but considering that it was freezing now, and the man was seriously injured, it was really not suitable to be stimulated.
Leng Feng opened his eyes suddenly, and found that the ugly female beggar was shaking herself vigorously, although he had gradually accepted the ugly monster in front of him, but as soon as he woke up and saw such a characteristic person, he was still startled in his heart, and suddenly said angrily: "Sister, there is a patient below, do you understand the patient?" Can you take pity on the jade, are you going to toss my rhythm? ”
"Hey, you're embarrassed to say that you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, you are a big man, and you are also a stinky man, this girl can't find the mood to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade in you" Zhan Mei retorted when she heard Leng Feng's words.
Girl, you won't save you for no reason! What do you want? Treasure? Or is it a golden beetle? As long as this son can do it, he will definitely satisfy you, you must know that General Leng of Wuzhou City is my father, Leng Feng slapped his swollen face and became fat, and said in a heroic tone.
Zhan Mei sneered in her heart when she heard Leng Feng's words, and said disdainfully: "It's good that you wake up, the reason why this girl saved you is that there is indeed one thing to make a deal with you, if you promise this girl, it will be great, if you don't agree, then this girl will have to leave you and find someone else, as for you to wait for death in this broken temple!" Zhan Mei said menacingly.
"Eldest sister, if you have anything, just say it! As long as I Leng Feng can do it, I will go to the soup and die without giving up, after all, my little life is also saved by you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid my corpse would have stinked now, the most important thing to be a man is to know how to repay his kindness and have a conscience", Leng Feng looked at his scarred body, and understood that he had no choice but to agree to the other party's conditions, but in order to make his image taller, Leng Feng pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and showed Zhan Mei and Grace Narrow.
"Since you agreed, this girl will reluctantly believe you" Zhan Mei was quite satisfied when she heard the answer she wanted, she didn't believe that this kid in front of her would be so obedient What she wanted was Leng Feng's attitude towards current affairs. The few words that Leng Feng had just woken up had already made Zhan Mei roughly understand that the person in front of her was no different from before, in short, he was a complete scumbag.
"This girl wants your eyes" Zhan Mei said amazingly, Leng Feng was frightened when he heard Zhan Mei's words, his body unconsciously moved to the side, and said in a panicked tone: "Girl, the size of sesame mung beans in the lower eyes, it looks very obscene, not suitable for a beautiful woman like you, or you are looking for someone else!" Leng Feng was short of breath in fright, and wanted to get up and escape, but he didn't have any strength in his body, so he could only lie straight on the ground and pretend to be a corpse.
"Would you like to? Contribute your eyes to repay the kindness", Zhan Mei heard the arrhythmia and shortness of breath of the person in front of her who was frightened by herself, and her heart was quite funny. Knowing that the other party must be crooked, Zhan Mei didn't break it, and deliberately pretended to be gloomy with a straight face, and Leng Feng was scared.
Hahaha......
"What are you laughing at?" Leng Feng heard this strange beggar woman suddenly laugh, and his heart was shocked. Leng Feng heard the other party's hoarse and sharp laughter, and felt that his ears were about to be deaf.
"What are you laughing at, of course it's laughing at you, laughing at you for being an idiot, a greedy villain who pretends to be smart, in short, you're a joke" Zhan Mei scolded the person in front of her with a poisonous tongue, venting the depression in her heart.
"Girl, although I respect you as my savior, but you insult your personality so much, I Leng Feng would rather die than be insulted by you", Leng Feng's face was red and his neck was thick, and his eyes looked at the female beggar in front of him firmly, and his backbone was strong.
"Really? You'd rather die than endure this girl's insult to you, haha, then you should die! Zhan Mei raised her palm and slammed it towards Leng Feng's head, Leng Feng felt the strong wind blowing in his face, and Leng Feng closed his eyes in fright, waiting for the sharp pain to strike.
A loud bang sounded in the air, and Leng Feng screamed in fright, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, it's so painful!" There was a painful expression on his face, as if he had been seriously injured.
"Waste, open your eyes and take a good look, this girl didn't hit you at all, it was obviously hitting the door panel, okay? What the hell is your name? Don't stop talking", Zhan Mei listened to Leng Feng's exaggerated wail, and sneered in her mouth.
"What? Is it? Leng Feng heard the sarcasm of the female beggar, and slowly opened his eyes in disbelief, Leng Feng felt that the light in the house was brighter, and a cold wind piercing the bone marrow poured in from the broken door, Leng Feng felt that his body was cold like a needle prick, and shrunk his neck slightly, Leng Feng was afraid: "This woman is too terrifying!" From such a distance, he actually hit a big hole in the wooden door, if he really hit himself with a palm, I'm afraid he would definitely go to see Grandpa Hades", Leng Feng, who knew that he was powerful, no longer had the courage to resist with this woman, so he just shut up and didn't speak.
"You haven't answered this girl's words! Why are you silent, aren't you very arrogant just now? Zhan Mei saw that Leng Feng pretended to be his grandson and didn't speak, and said impatiently.
"Girl, if you want Leng Feng's eyes, just pick them yourself, why bother asking the opinions below, the cat cries and the mouse is fake mercy" Leng Feng couldn't help but choke.
"Hmph, what's the use of your mung bean-eyed girl, keep it for yourself! I want you to act as an eye, guide me to Jincheng, look for my father, if it is not for the eyes to see things, why do I need someone to lead the way", Zhan Mei was depressed in her heart, and her tone withered.
"Girl, it's not that I don't help you, but in this life, the farthest place to go is the mountain temple in front of me, I don't know anything about the geographical distribution of the Great Moon Dynasty, except for a few places I heard about, I don't know anything else, if you are sent to Jincheng, you have to go through a lot of places along the way, but I don't know anything in the next, I'm afraid I will delay the girl's family search."
Leng Feng saw that the beggar girl was in a low mood and didn't seem to lose her temper, so she said the excuse that it was inconvenient to travel far away, and politely refused Zhanmei's request.
Zhan Mei heard the other party say a lot of nonsense, and said with a calm sarcasm: "The problems you are worried about, they are all not a problem, you just need to be an eye, watch the road for this girl, and don't let this girl fall into the cliff", don't think that everyone is an idiot like you, and they can't even figure out the basic area.
