Chapter 240: The Mountaintop
Located in the north of the extremely cold land, the North Ridge Snow Mountain is covered with snow all year round, not to mention people, not even monsters have appeared within the range of the Snow Mountain. Because the snow-capped mountains are unattainable, the majestic posture looks like a moat, as if it is a passage linking the heavens and the underground, and many people regard the snow-capped mountains as spiritual mountains, and have a blind worship of the snow-capped mountains with great respect.
This year, the villagers living at the foot of the snow-capped mountain found that since two people entered the snow-capped mountain and went down the mountain to buy some goods, they basically never left the snow-capped mountain again. This incident immediately aroused a warm reaction from the people around them, many people became curious about the identities of the two, and more people thought that the two were not ordinary people, but immortals in the sky, who passed by and lived here for a while. In their opinion, whether it is a man or a woman, the appearance is extremely good, and more importantly, the snow mountain is also called "Yama Mountain", it is not difficult to imagine that there is no way to live on the snow mountain, but the two of them not only live well on the mountain, but the temperament is different after a few days.
"Yama Mountain" is not called in vain, the more unsurpassable places, the more hidden this lot of unknown treasures, nature is the most amazing and richest treasure, Beiling Snow Mountain has been said that the flowers and plants in it can be brought back to life, whether there is such a thing as no one verifies, because the people who enter the mountain are dead, a small number of people who find a few small grasses in the periphery of the snow mountain take back to save people, the effect is very significant, by the rumors are more mysterious, in recent years, there are more people who want to enter the mountain, no one has exceptions, No matter how capable or outlawed they are outside, those who go in never come out.
This shows how strange the two people who escaped doom appeared.
At first, Zhang Xiaoman didn't pay much attention to other people's eyes. She and Qi Ziyun have been coming to the snow mountain for almost a month, and what they see the most in this month is the snow that does not melt all year round, and she has gone down the mountain four times in so many days, each time the food on the mountain is not enough to eat at the foot of the mountain and exchange some food with the villagers. There are a lot of things missing on the snow mountain, but weeds and the like are particularly liked by the villagers, and Zhang Xiaoman was particularly attentive when he heard about it, and then the things that could be exchanged on the body were almost the same, she tentatively brought some grass on her body, but she didn't expect these grasses to change a lot of things for her at an immeasurable price, and then Zhang Xiaoman has been exchanging weeds and flowers for food and drink. Finally got through the month.
She still remembered that she was grabbed by Qi Ziyun and brought this snow-capped mountain at that time. As soon as she saw the majestic snow-capped mountain, Zhang Xiaoman put away her thoughts about leaving, she didn't have Qi Ziyun's ability at all, not to mention that she didn't know the way back, if she chose to leave alone. It takes a lot of effort to return to Zhangjia Village. I saw Qi Ziyun's special situation again. The two didn't discuss it much, and they expired on the snowy mountain.
Well, if you want to talk about how Qi Ziyun brought her here in the first place, Zhang Xiaoman can't remember it at all now. She only knew that she seemed to have fallen asleep, and when she woke up, she fell on this mountain, at that time she was lying in Qi Ziyun's arms, Qi Ziyun sat upright and looked into the distance, and I didn't know if she was normal, Zhang Xiaoman pushed Qi Ziyun away and sat up, the cold wind almost blew into her heart, she shivered fiercely, and said to Qi Ziyun fiercely: "Are you awake?" Do you know what you're doing? ”
She didn't know what she was doing, but she had to figure out what Qi Ziyun wanted to do and what she was doing all this for?
I saw him smile slightly, not worried at all, after Zhang Xiaoman shivered again, he gently took Zhang Xiaoman's hand and held the person in his arms, rubbed the top of Zhang Xiaoman's head and said: "It's been three days, and it took me three days to find here." ”
Zhang Xiaoman struggled casually twice and stopped moving, obediently nestled in Qi Ziyun's arms, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Then she thought of something and said, "Could it be because of your illness?" ”
Qi Ziyun nodded, which was considered to be an answer to Zhang Xiaoman's question, and then said: "It's not just because of my illness, but also because there is a secret here." ”
"What's the secret?" Zhang Xiaoman immediately asked, anyone would be interested in talking about secrets, but she asked Qi Ziyun with such interest but did not answer immediately, but stretched out her index finger and tapped it on Zhang Xiaoman's lips, and said, "You will know when the time comes, and I can't sue you yet." ”
Since he didn't say that Zhang Xiaoman didn't plan to hold on tightly, he just hurriedly asked, "When will we go back?" ”
I'm afraid I won't be able to go back, Qi Ziyun thought so in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face, he just said ambiguously: "I'll go back when it's time to go back, we may have to live here for a long time." ”
"Why?" It's a bit inexplicable, Zhang Xiaoman can't imagine the benefits of living here, oh, it may indeed help Qi Ziyun's condition a little.
Zhang Xiaoman knew that Qi Ziyun's condition was very mysterious, but he needed to use the cold of the snowy mountains to treat his illness, which sounded even more mysterious. She knew Qi Ziyun's form after the mutation, the temperature at that time was so hot that it seemed to be ruined immediately, extreme heat and extreme cold may indeed be able to adjust each other, but there is no need to run so far, it looks like it is no longer in the world, the feeling of being high in the sky, the illusion created by Zhang Xiaoman is that they are not in the scope of the world, and they have reached another world. It's not impossible to say that there is so much money around you, but with so much concern about the past, is it really good to move forward?
Shaking his head to disrupt the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Xiaoman looked at Qi Ziyun, "I don't think you seem to be willing to do this, your decision must not have been like this at the beginning, why did it change all of a sudden." ”
Qi Ziyun looked at Zhang Xiaoman faintly, and his tone had a sigh that he didn't even notice, and said: "The Qi family was ruined back then, and it wasn't that outsiders saw that it was just a holy decree and was beheaded all over the house, I made a discord with my parents to protect my younger brother and escaped, many people said that my six relatives don't recognize cold-bloodedness, but in fact, I just want to keep a secret." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoman almost guessed what he would say later, and sure enough, Qi Ziyun immediately said about the other courtyard.
"The treasure was secretly told to me by my mother. My father and I have always been at odds, but my mother hopes that I can revitalize the Qi family, even though my father has been reluctant to hand over the Qi family to me, but he has no way to live, so he has to be arranged by my mother. It seemed that he thought of something, the temperature around Qi Ziyun dropped a few degrees, and he quickly regained his mind, stroked Zhang Xiaoman's cheek and said: "You know that the unjust death of the prince of Qi is not a secret, many people say it is fake, but I know that they were just framed by others." But none of them are willing to tell the truth. So I can only respect my mother's last wish, keep the secret of the Qi family, and find an opportunity to take revenge. ”
Imperial relatives, noble family. Almost every shiny surface beneath it. All hide the dirt of darkness. Zhang Xiaoman, as an ordinary person, and she is not a person who grew up in this era, although she can understand the sacrifices and efforts of many people. But it's not enough to fully understand that the growth of the family costs so much blood, is it really worth it?
"Sometimes I ask if it's worth it?" Qi Ziyun seemed to see what Zhang Xiaoman was thinking, and said calmly: "But I know it all depends on who it is, not everyone thinks it's worth it, and not everyone thinks it's not worth it, just like when I chose to give up revenge, so many people don't understand, once I couldn't understand why I chose this way, but now I know that I don't regret it, that's enough." ”
It was too complicated and obscure, Zhang Xiaoman didn't understand it very well, but he still hugged Qi Ziyun and leaned on his shoulder, and patted his back comfortingly.
"Hehe," Qi Ziyun smiled and looked down at Zhang Xiaoman's eyes: "You don't understand it now, if there is still a chance, I will definitely tell you everything." ”
Zhang Xiaoman was very unhappy when he heard this kind of unlucky words, and immediately said: "Why don't you have a chance, we stay here every day, can't we find time to explain these things clearly?" ”
Qi Ziyun was basked, and touched Zhang Xiaoman's head again: "You will understand, I am very content now." ”
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Qi Ziyun for a while, the loneliness on his face was too obvious, and she couldn't help but guess in a bad direction. Could it be that Qi Ziyun found out that his condition had deteriorated, so he wanted to die here to fend for himself? Or is his time running out, so he wants her to be by his side for these last days? Or is it ......
No matter which one it is, any bad news is something Zhang Xiaoman doesn't want to hear, she is obediently shrunk in his arms, he is not afraid of the cold at all, but she can't leave him.
The two hugged and sat on the top of the snow mountain, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't tell what place this was, but she liked the peace of this moment, if she could only save Qi Ziyun's life by staying here, she was willing to leave a qiē by his side, but ...... He rubbed his chest, if only their children could stay in the snowy mountains.
It's also that Zhang Xiaoman is too heartless, sometimes the questions she thinks of are a little different from ordinary people, she sees that the snow mountain is not like ordinary people, she immediately screams and asks questions, and she doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky and runs around, and it is already a good thing that Qi Ziyun can calm down and listen to Qi Ziyun say so many words.
Later, the two found a shelter and built a small wooden house, and it took less than half a day for Qi Ziyun to complete a simple residential wooden house, and now Zhang Xiaoman is sure that Qi Ziyun really failed that time, he is not Qi Ziyun at the limit of human beings at all, but has a lot of impossible superpowers, fortunately his appearance remains in a normal form, otherwise I don't know what the villagers at the foot of the mountain will think of them. However, they can be regarded as secluded in the snowy mountains, and they really don't care so much about the opinions of ordinary people.
On weekdays, in addition to practicing to suppress toxicity, Qi Ziyun spends his spare time looking for medicinal herbs in the snowy mountains. The snow mountain is not dangerous at all, Zhang Xiaoman has encountered a fierce bear, as well as a wild wolf, because there is Qi Ziyun who is not a mortal by her side, plus she is not without any ability, many crises have been turned into danger by the two, so adapted to the environment of the snow mountain, Zhang Xiaoman also thought about how to live a better life.
This time she went down the mountain alone to buy food, every time Qi Ziyun had to accompany her down the mountain before, the reason was that she was not worried about Zhang Xiaoman's safety, and the other was also worried that Zhang Xiaoman would get lost in the snowy mountain, and Zhang Xiaoman would get lost if she left the wooden house to play, not to mention how many hardships would happen when the distance from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain was so far.
Without Qi Ziyun's help, Zhang Xiaoman took at least two days just to come down from the mountain this time, she didn't expect this to be the case before leaving, she was trapped in the cave halfway through the road at night, while sharpening her knife Huo Huo waited for the wolves who didn't know whether she was alive or dead to come to provoke, and at the same time kept thinking in her heart Qi Ziyun didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, why did she leave her alone this time down the mountain?
Thinking so much, I still rushed early the next day, but fortunately I arrived at the bottom of the mountain when it was dark, and finally I didn't have to worry about being alone in the face of the snowy mountain, Zhang Xiaoman took advantage of a night in a familiar villager's house, and the next day before dawn I bought something and immediately went up the mountain. I don't know if it's Zhang Xiaoman's illusion, she didn't think much about it at first, but when the tiredness, cold and hunger dissipated, she always felt that Qi Ziyun's expression was a little wrong when she was separated.
For such a long time, the two of them have been relying on each other for such a long time, Zhang Xiaoman didn't think that Qi Ziyun would hide anything from her, but recalling the relationship in the past few days, the more Zhang Xiaoman thought about it, the more relieved she became, and she said goodbye to the hospitable villagers in a hurry.
When she arrived at the top of the mountain three days later and saw the empty wooden house, Zhang Xiaoman only felt that her heart was like an ice sculpture around her, cold as if she had been looking at the years for a long time, and she didn't hear the echo and didn't see anyone. It endured for a long time and became a carved castle over the years.
Qi Ziyun: Where are you? Have you left me behind?
Zhang Xiaoman dropped the things in her hand and looked around the wooden house, every time it was like a dead heart, but she didn't want to give up until she didn't know how many circles she had walked around, she didn't know what else she could do except obediently go around the wooden house and wait obediently?
Zhang Xiaoman, who was exhausted, didn't hear the gradually approaching steps, nor did she hear the sound of the wooden house being opened in front of her, there seemed to be an anxious voice behind her, she didn't have time to stand up and check, her body had already fallen into the arms of a person, "Xiaoman, why are you hiding here?"
