171. Chapter 171
"Miss Shang, is Yexue at home?"
Early in the morning, I was sleeping on the clay kang when I heard a sharp knock on the door outside.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked at the other side of the kang where there was no longer a figure of night snow.
I got up from the kang, got dressed and went to open the door, and saw Brother Shen and sister-in-law Shen looking at me anxiously.
I looked at them suspiciously, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?" The snow is not there at night, so I may have gone out to fetch water! ”
The weather has been cold these days, and in the morning it is the night snow that comes back to fetch water for me to freshen up, and I subconsciously thought that he ran out to fetch water for me again.
"It's broken, it looks like the night snow really went to the snowy mountain." Shen An looked at me with a look of chagrin, "Last night, Yexue came over to ask me what I told you, but my eldest brother was too drunk and accidentally told Yexue." This morning, I woke up and remembered what happened last night, and I felt that something was wrong, so I hurried to find you, but I didn't expect that Yexue had already left. ”
"You mean that the night snow went into the mountains to help me find the thousand-year-old snow lotus?"
I was shocked, there are wild beasts in the continuous snow-capped mountains, especially in this season, many fierce beasts will come out to forage, and the night snow can't use internal force, isn't this running to feed the beasts in vain?
Even if you can't meet a fierce beast, it is easy to get lost in the depths of the vast and connected snow-capped mountains, and once you get lost, you may never be able to get out again.
Thinking of this, I also ignored my current disheveled appearance, and was about to run out to find Yexue, but before I could go out, I was stopped by Sister-in-law Shen, who eagerly pointed to Brother Shen, and then pointed to the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
After getting along for a long time, I can roughly guess what she means, which is to let Shen An go to the mountains to look for night snow.
"Sister-in-law Shen, I can't let Brother Shen go to the mountains to take risks."
"What are you talking about, girl, it's my responsibility to go into the mountains in the night snow, and besides, can I let you let a woman run to the mountains to find someone?" Shen An's face sank, and he continued to speak without refusal, "I have been hunting in the snowy mountains all year round, and I am familiar with the terrain in this area, I went back to get the longbow, brought some dry food and set off to find the night snow, you can wait at home with peace of mind, I will definitely bring the night snow back to you unscathed." ”
Shen An went up the mountain, and Sister-in-law Shen sat with me in front of the earthen house and waited for the two to come back, but until night, the sky was full of stars, and the figures of those two people still did not appear.
"Sister-in-law Shen, I'm going to find them."
Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, I spoke lightly, but with a determination that could not be refused.
Sister-in-law Shen heard the determination in my tone, sighed softly, got up and went back to her earthen house, I also went back to the room to change into a thick cotton coat, and took a few thick pieces of firewood from the corner of the wall, took the flint, and then turned around and went out.
Outside the door, Sister-in-law Shen stood quietly in place, watching me go out, and then she stuffed a few small porcelain bottles and a dagger into my arms, and under the small porcelain bottles was a handkerchief with Juanxiu characters written on it, thinking that it was the use of the medicine she stuffed into me.
I tucked them all into my arms and prepared to look at them on the road.
Lighting a wooden stick with a flint, I held the torch and headed towards the snow-capped mountain in the distance, Sister-in-law Shen looked at me worriedly, but she didn't stop me.
She knows that I can't stop it, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes at this moment, he can't stop me, my character is so stubborn, if I recognize one thing, it is that the jade will be burned to achieve the goal.
The night was dark, and even though the sky was full of stars, it was still pitch black.
I knew I shouldn't go into the mountains at night, but I really couldn't stay quiet and wait for the night snow to come back.
I can stay away from him for Night Snow, but I can't tolerate any danger from him.
In the dense mountain forest, I stepped on the thick snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and in the quiet dense forest, only my own footsteps sounded, and the silence around me made me creepy, and I always felt as if something was following me behind, I didn't dare to turn back, and I ran forward at a faster pace.
"Smack!"
I tripped over something under my feet, and I fell directly into the thick snow, and the torch in my hand was thrown far away, and the fire jumped violently and went out.
In the dark night, only a wisp of green smoke floated in strange lines into the sky.
I gritted my teeth, got up from the ground with all my might, and continued to walk deeper and deeper into the mountain, the wound in my chest began to ache again, but unfortunately it was not as uncomfortable as I felt in my heart.
Night snow, where are you? It's the little aunt who is useless, making you hurt for me again and again.
Night snow, my little aunt swears that I will find you this time.
