Chapter 21: The Fierceness of the Winter Snow
……
In a cave on Lei Gong Mountain, a bonfire is burning, and a piece of meat from an unknown animal is roasted on top of the bonfire...... And the person sitting next to the bonfire was none other than the winter snow that Mu Qiuhuang had been worried about.
The winter snow has changed a lot from when I was in Yunzhou two years ago. The whole person looks a little thinner than before, and his skin has become a little darker...... For more than two years, she has been wandering alone in the 100,000 mountains of Miaojiang, looking for the news of Gu Chenyuan, the crazy sword immortal, while practicing the "Eight Desolation Sword Sutra" that Mu Qiuhuang gave her at the beginning, and living a life of eating and sleeping in the open. However, the benefits are also obvious, after more than two years of hard training, her realm at this time has also reached the Nine Realms, but in terms of realm, it is still above Mu Qiuhuang.
However, her state at this time does not seem to be very good. Because, she was injured, and she was very badly injured.
Most of the white clothes on her body have been soaked in blood and turned red, and in some places, the snow stains have turned black...... However, these are not the most serious, the wound on her waist and abdomen is particularly serious. Although it had been bandaged briefly, the white cloth that wrapped the wound had already been soaked red, and the red had remained moist all the time, indicating that the wound was still bleeding at this time.
In fact, her condition is worse than it seems, because she has been exhausted for the past few months, and has never really rested properly.
The 100,000 mountains of Miaojiang are already full of dangers, not to mention poisonous insects and beasts everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may fall into a swamp and mistakenly enter a poisonous miasma...... Originally, these inherent hazards were enough to make her vigilant, not to mention that in addition to these, there was a group of people chasing her behind her.
Although, the cultivation of that group of Miao people is generally not high, but... However, they were numerous, and their methods were extremely inferior, after several battles, although he killed many of them, but he was also seriously injured, especially the wound on the waist and abdomen was the most fatal, and the person who injured her was so despicable that he rubbed poison on the curved sickle, although the toxicity was not strong enough to be fatal, but it also caused her wound to be slow to heal...... Of course, the main reason is that she simply doesn't have enough time and opportunity to stop and take a good rest. She felt like a lone beast with a serious injury, and those Miao people were like a group of wild dogs and vultures, which kept buzzing behind her, constantly "harassing" her, so that she couldn't get rid of them even if she wanted to. She had to be energetic and vigilant, and these wild dogs and vultures took advantage of her unpreparedness to come up and bite her......
Dongxue stared at the pieces of meat on the bonfire expressionlessly, but in her heart she kept thinking about how to attack and kill. Although I don't know, why are those Miao people so jealous of this mountain that they don't dare to chase them in? But she vaguely felt that it was never a good thing for her to drag it out like this. Judging from the fighting situation during this time, Dongxue also realized the real reason why they had been surrounding themselves and not killing them, and it seemed that they were waiting for someone to arrive......
"What the hell are they trying to catch themselves for? Could it be that they knew that they were from the Beiyu Marquis Mansion... Want to catch yourself against Childe's detriment? Dongxue couldn't help but ponder.
But then she dispelled this idea, not to mention that she was sure that her true identity was not known, even if her identity was really known. She didn't think anyone would know how important she was in Mu Qiuhuang's heart. Although, she firmly believes that Mu Qiuhuang values the lives of the four of them very much and will make compromises for them...... But she had never heard that other sons would treat maids like Mu Qiuhuang would treat them.
After thinking about it for a while, Dongxue suddenly realized in her heart. The only thing she can do with her body, and what can attract envy is the "Eight Desolation Sword Sutra" she practiced. After all, this is the unique skill of Gu Chenyuan, the sword immortal. As long as it is a sword cultivator, I am afraid that anyone will try every possible way to get this sword scripture. As for yourself? Dongxue suddenly thought of "Piff is not guilty, but he is guilty." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Dong Xue finally made up her mind, took out the "Eight Desolation Sword Sutra" that she had been storing close to her after Mu Qiuhuang gave it to her, and then threw it into the bonfire. The flames instantly burst up, enveloping the sword warp and quickly burning to ashes.
Dongxue looked at the sword scripture that had been burned to ashes stupidly, and couldn't help but feel a trace of reluctance in her heart. Although the content of the Sword Sutra has been deeply imprinted in her mind, this booklet was given to her by Mu Qiuhuang herself, and in the past two years, she has relied on this booklet to express her longing for Mu Qiuhuang.
"Childe, don't blame me......" Dongxue muttered to herself: "This is what you gave to Dongxue, and Dongxue will never let it fall into the hands of others......"
Dongxue suddenly felt that she might not leave Miao Jiang alive this time. Then, I couldn't help but recall the beauty of her past life.
It's strange, although she and Chun Tao, Xia He, and Qiu Shuang grew up together and are like sisters. But the figure of her three sisters only flashed in her mind, and the figure that appeared most in her mind at this time was the figure of Mu Qiuhuang. Although, because of her own mission, she and Qiushuang are running around a lot, and they can't see Mu Qiuhuang a few times a year, even if they meet, it is only when they accept orders and return to life, but Mu Qiuhuang's figure still lingers in her mind...... She remembered all the things she had done with Mu Qiuhuang, and then, the corners of her lips couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and she muttered to herself: "If there is a next life, Dongxue is still willing to be the maid of the son......"
"Childe, Dongxue really wants to see you again!" Dongxue couldn't help but murmur.
Suddenly, Dongxue seemed to hear Mu Qiuhuang calling her, she couldn't help but look up, and saw Mu Qiuhuang standing at the entrance of the cave and smiling and waving to her......
"Childe ......" Dongxue couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Mu Qiuhuang, and immediately stood up and prepared to run to Mu Qiuhuang.
But the moment she stood up violently, there was a sudden sharp pain in her waist and abdomen, and immediately, the wound also began to bleed...... However, it was the pain caused by the wound that caused Dongxue to suddenly wake up, only to see that the hole was empty.
"What a terrible poison? It can make people hallucinate......" Fuyuki muttered as she glanced at the wound on her waist and abdomen.
It turned out that everything just now was imagined by Dongxue.
"Childe......" Dongxue couldn't help but murmur.
Her lips had become chapped, and her cheeks, which had been a little dark, had become a little pale from the loss of blood. However, when she thought of Mu Qiuhuang, the corners of her chapped lips couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction.
Immediately, Dong Xue thought of what Mu Qiuhuang said when she handed her the "Eight Desolation Sword Sutra" in the study, at that time, Mu Qiuhuang said to her: "We all have to live well, and we must live happily......"
"No... I can't let this poison linger on my body any longer, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll really die here...... I haven't seen Childe yet, and since Childe wants me to live well, then I must not die here......" Dongxue muttered to herself, a hint of fierceness suddenly appeared on her face.
The next moment, I saw Dongxue reach out and untie the cloth belt wrapped around the wound on his waist and abdomen. At the moment when the cloth belt was untied, the speed of blood flow suddenly accelerated, and Dongxue's head couldn't help but sink and fainted.
"No, I can't die here... I want to live, I want to live well......"
Dongxue said to herself in her heart, enduring the severe pain to observe her wounds. I saw that there was a wound on Dongxue's originally white waist and abdomen, which looked extremely sloppy, and a circle of black carrion had grown around the wound......
Dongxue stared at the wound for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that if she wanted to live, she had to be cruel to herself, peel off the circle of carrion from the wound, and then stitch up the wound. But during this period, she had to endure the severe pain to prevent herself from fainting, because if she was not careful, if she could not hold back the pain and fainted, she would definitely die here due to excessive blood loss.
Soon, I saw Dongxue make up my mind. Of course, at this time, she had no choice.
Dongxue took out a dagger and burned it on the campfire, then bit a wooden stick in her mouth and began to cut off the carrion......
"Click"
As soon as he cut it, the wooden stick in Dongxue's mouth was bitten off, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on Dongxue's forehead.
"I want to live, I want to live well, I want to live happily......"
Dongxue comforted herself while continuing to chop the meat...... I don't know how long later, I saw Dongxue put down the dagger in his hand, plucked a hair from his head, and began to stitch up the wound with hair threads...... At this time, Dongxue's face looked like white paper, and the hair on her forehead had turned into strands and stuck to her head, and she was already wet with cold sweat from her body, as if she had just been fished out of the water.
This shows how much pain the winter snow endures.
Finally, Dongxue relied on her strong willpower to completely stitch up the wound, and at this time, she also fell to the ground with a "plop" and fainted directly.
Relying on scraping bones and ripping flesh to cure poison, even if it is a fierce general in the army who takes the head of a general, I am afraid that he will frown angrily when facing it, let alone ripping his own flesh, not to mention that Dongxue is just a weak woman...... If Dongxue's deeds today are reported to the army, I am afraid that those fierce generals in the army will cast her extremely reverent gaze.
