There were many mountains in this boundless valley, and after searching for a while, they found a cave where they could shelter from the wind.

Cen Zhaohou took the torch in his hand again, broke a lot of dead wood branches into the cave, and lit them into a fire, and several people felt a little warmer.

The four of them sat down around the fire, Jiang Yuebai was already groggy leaning on Jiang Yanyue, Jiang Yanyue looked at it, only to find that Jiang Yuebai's face was now abnormally flushed, and his body was also very hot, Jiang Yanyue frowned, "It's not good, Yuebai has a fever." ”

As he spoke, he took out emergency medicine from his body and gave it to him, and then took off his robe and covered him.

Yun Sha took the torch and went to the cold pool to find some water and came back, heated it with fire and fed it to Jiang Yuebai to drink.

After tossing like this for a while, Jiang Yuebai fell asleep deeply.

In the middle of the night, it snowed heavily in the Boundless Valley, and the wind howled outside the cave.

Cen Zhaohou saw that Yun Sha was extremely tired, so he wanted her to lie on himself and rest for a while.

Cen Zhaohou's resolute facial contours looked a little gentle against the firelight, and he looked at Yun Sha, his eyes full of concern.

Yun Sha nodded to him and fell asleep in Cen Zhaohou's warm arms.

Fortunately, nothing else happened during the night, and when Yunsha opened his eyes, he saw a white expanse outside the cave, but the snow in the sky had stopped.

Jiang Yuebai was carefully cared for by Jiang Yanyue all night, and the fever subsided, and the person looked a little more energetic than yesterday.

Cen Zhaohou frowned and came in with a snow-white hair ball, "I originally wanted to go out to see if there was anything to eat, but I saw this in the snow." ”

Yun Xue took the hair ball over and took a closer look, only to find that the hair ball turned out to be a snow fox, and he was a little surprised in his heart, "This boundless valley is so desolate, how can this snow fox survive." ”

The fox had closed its eyes tightly, but perhaps seeing that he had not been in danger, began to struggle vigorously, and his two short legs fluttered in the air, looking very cute.

Jiang Yuebai also looked at the little fox closely, and suddenly found that the little fox's eyes were different from ordinary foxes, "Look! The fox's eyes were exactly the same as those of Big Ash. ”

Yun Sha turned the little fox over, only to find that the fox also had one crystal clear blue eye, and the other was black.

Jiang Yanyue walked over with a few fish stuck in a branch, and also discovered the strangeness of the little fox, "This is a coincidence, could it be that this little fox has nothing to do with Big Ash." ”

The little fox seemed to be dissatisfied with being looked at all the time, and began to struggle more violently, Yun Xu was unprepared for a while, and was broken free by it and jumped to the ground, and ran out of the cave with two small short legs, but was kicked back by Cen Zhaohou.

The little fox seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and lay on the ground and pretended to be dead and stopped moving.

Jiang Yuebai gently hugged the little fox in her arms, the little fox's body was very small, and it looked very round, but most of it was fluffy hair, and it was warm when she held it on her body.

Several people no longer looked at the little fox, and were attracted by the fish in Jiang Yanyue's hand.

Jiang Yanyue took the fish in her hand from the branch, "I just went to the edge of the cold pool, and found that there were many fish swimming in the pool, and it didn't look like it was poisonous, so I forked some back with a branch." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai had a smile on her face, "After eating dry food for so many days, I finally have meat to eat." ”

Jiang Yanyue distributed the fish in her hand to the others, and several people sat down to grill the fish.

Yun Sha sharpened the branch and put the fish stand on the fire, and the blood of the fish fell into the fire and made a "zizi" sound.

The fish are not small in size and look very plump.

Jiang Yanyue carefully grilled the fish in her hand, and after a while, she handed it to Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai blew on the fish, couldn't wait to take a bite, and exclaimed, "This fish meat is so fragrant." ”

The extremely low temperature in the pond makes the meat of this fish more delicate, and it is even more fragrant when it is roasted over fire, and it is very happy to bite into it.

Yun Xiao ate the fish in his hand in small bites, but his movements were also a little eager.

They had come from the Scorching Sun Country, and they hadn't eaten a good meal for so long, and now they suddenly ate such a delicious meal, which made people really happy.

After a few people had eaten and drunk, they began to hurry again.

This time, Cen Zhaohou made marks on the trees they passed and walked all the way to the west.

But it wasn't long before a few people saw the marked trees again.

Cen Zhaohou frowned deeply, "We obviously walked according to the unmarked tree just now, how could we come back again?" ”

At this time, the little fox that Jiang Yuebai was holding suddenly jumped down, stepped forward and scratched his paws at the mark of the tree, and several people were surprised that the fox walked in the opposite direction of their walking.

Jiang Yuebai watched the little fox run away, a little anxious, and was about to chase it, but saw that the little fox stopped again, looked back at them, saw that they were not moving, and came up again to pull Jiang Yuebai's trouser leg.

Jiang Yuebai was surprised, but she still followed the little fox all the way.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also hurried to follow.

When the little fox saw that they were following, he let go of Jiang Yuebai's trouser leg and ran forward, turning his head to look at them from time to time, and calling twice.

But they saw a few people follow the little fox, through a dead wood forest, and through a cave, and their eyes suddenly opened up, and this place was even more different from the place where there was no grass just now.

Below the cave there was a village, and around the edge of the village was a dry river: it was evident that if anyone lived in it, it would have been on it.

The village looks very dilapidated, and the houses are in tatters everywhere.

Yun Sha and a few people walked in to take a look, and found that there was a plaque full of traces at the entrance of the village.

Yun Sha waved away the snow on it and found that although the plaque was mottled, the words "Xifang Village" could be vaguely recognized.

"Xifang Village? Was it inhabited in the first place? Yun Xue wondered.

Jiang Yanyue nodded, "Although this village is dilapidated, it can still be seen that there are traces of people. ”

The houses in the village were somewhat tightly built, and there was a broken barely visible fence in the ground on the edge of the houses.

Cen Zhaohou looked at the village that looked particularly desolate in the snow, and the doubts in his heart gradually expanded, "Didn't the shopkeeper say that there is no one in this boundless valley?" How can there be a mountain villa of this size? ”

Yun Sha also felt a little strange, "Let's go in and have a look, maybe the answer is inside." ”

In the capital, Lou Yinyang and Zonglu didn't know anything about what was going on outside the Saiwai today, and they thought that it was still as Cen Zhaohou said in his last letter, that they would not start a war with the Scorching Sun Kingdom, and that they would be able to pack up and return to the dynasty when the mutual market was established.

It is now the depths of winter, and it is snowing heavily in the capital today.

Lou Yin and Yang are afraid of the cold, and have been nested in the room for a few days and have not gone out, Zong Lu is afraid that she is always holding back in the room, so when she receives an errand today, she will take Lou Yin and Yang to see it together.

Although Lou Yinyang was not very happy, afraid that the cold wind outside would blow him, he still reluctantly went at the insistence of Zonglu.

This errand is the owner of a Chen Ji rice shop in the east of the city to invite Zong Lu to go, the son of the owner of the Chen Ji rice shop went to the mountains outside the city a few days ago to play, thinking if he can pick up a hibernating animal back to try it, who knows what he encountered in the mountains, and when he came back, his face turned blue, and people were going crazy, so he went in less than a day.

This Boss Chen has always regarded this son as his life, and now that his son is suddenly gone, how can he not be sad and angry, but now, they don't even understand the cause of his son's death.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask the best servant in the capital, Zonglu, to find out the cause of his son's death.

When Boss Chen saw Zonglu coming, he immediately cried and grabbed the ground, "My lord, you must find out the cause of my son's death and give my son justice, I love my son carefully, I am afraid that I will hold the flower in my mouth and hold it in my hand for fear of falling, why is my son suddenly gone, my lord, you must take a closer look to see how my son died, I will catch that dog-day thief, my lord......"

Lou Yinyang saw that this Boss Chen was howling so sadly, and was about to say something to comfort, when suddenly a fat-headed and short-eared man standing next to him let out a cold snort, "My lord, you have to check it out carefully, lest this madman spew blood." If you want me to see it, it's this surnamed Chen who usually does too much bad things, and now the retribution has just come to his son. ”

When Boss Chen heard this, he couldn't care less about continuing to cry and grab the ground, "You fart!" You fat man is jealous that my family's business is better than yours, and you want me to see that my son was assassinated by you! Otherwise, with my son's character, which everyone says is good, who will make enemies against him? ”

Not to be outdone, the short and fat man next to him squinted at Boss Chen, "It's all said that you usually do a lot of evil, and the retribution will be on your son!"

Zong Lu was so annoyed by them that he gave the guards next to him a look to calm them down, and then asked them all to go out, and he wanted to check Chen Sheng's body properly.

The two men left noisily, and the room fell silent.

The yamen guards standing on the side told them that it was the Wang family next door who quarreled with Boss Chen just now, and his family also opened a rice shop, and usually the two families looked at each other unpleasantly, saying that the rice sold by the family was not as good as their own, and the people in the family were profiteers and the like.

Zong Lu didn't want to listen to the quarrel between these vendors, so he waved his hand to interrupt the guard, "Have you ever seen any wounds on this Chen Sheng's body?" ”

The guard shook his head, "This Chen Sheng's death is strange here, the yamen sent someone to check the fatal parts of his body, there are no wounds, and there is no trace of poisoning on his mouth and nose." ”
