Wanton pick-up into the snow abyss
Before entering the realm of the snow abyss, the cold wind was biting.
The wind was mixed with a lot of ice slag, which hit their faces together, and Ji Mi only felt that her face was blown by the wind, like countless sharp knives cutting away her skin and flesh little by little.
She tightened her coat again, and sat on the giant goshawk shivering from the cold.
"Mi'er leaned closer to me, and when she got into the snow abyss, she got better. This place is dedicated to testing those who attempt to enter the abyss. Chiyomu warmed her hands and took her into her arms a little more.
It didn't take long for the snowstorm to start, and the goshawk stopped moving forward, and the three of them found a small cave to rest.
Chiyo Mu was laying out the enchantment, and Ji Heng suddenly ran over, "Brother-in-law, go and see Mi'er..."
When she went back, Ji Mi was curled up and trembling, her lips were purple, and her body was cold and stiff like a wax figure.
Fortunately, she was just stunned by freezing, and Chiyo Mu continued to send internal force to her body, and Ji Mi's body gradually warmed up and fell into a deep sleep.
The man took off his big coat and long coat and draped it on Ji Mi's body, and took out a double rabbit down quilt from the space to cover her, "I'm so afraid of the cold that I have to come... What nonsense. ”
Xu has a lover by her side, Ji Mi slept sweetly, and some saliva came out from the corners of her mouth, Chiyo Mu wiped it off for her, tucked the corner of the quilt and stayed by her side intently, afraid that something would happen to her again.
"My two mothers are from Xueyuan, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be chills." Ji Heng was talking to himself by the fire, but it seemed to be asking Chiyo Mu.
Chiyo Mu disagreed with his words, and Ji Mi explained to him, "This place is not good for the pure-blooded Xueyuan people, not to mention that your two fathers are not Xueyuan people. This place is hell for people outside, and it is impossible to pass it, but it is a test for the people of the Snow Abyss, and after that, they can become the real people of the Snow Abyss. ”
So that's the case, Ji Heng nodded as if he didn't understand. Turning his head and pounced on his roast rabbit again, the nightingale filled him with a lot of food, not only dry food, but also rabbits, chickens and ducks that had been plucked and entrailed and washed white in a large ice bucket.
I have to say that although the nightingale is a secret guard, she is as careful as a hair, and she is more delicate than many maids.
The cave is not big, the three roast rabbits roasted in Ji Heng's hands have been burnt, and the fragrance is full of the cave, Ji Mi, who was originally sleeping well, smelled this smell and immediately woke up, "Roast rabbit!" ”
Ji Heng and Chiyo Mu looked at the woman who had not opened her eyes but smelled at the same time, dog nose, you can still smell it when you are asleep.
The rabbit's skin was roasted to a brown, and the pleasant sizzling sound was now the most beautiful sound to Ji Mi, and she suddenly felt that this little cave was not so miserable.
Ji Mi pinched the rabbit leg and pulled it off easily, and the warm fragrance of the moment she was torn off was simply intoxicating to her, a snack person, sprinkled with a little coarse salt, Ji Mi squatted on the ground and feasted, although the food was indecent, but it was cute.
She quickly eliminated the rabbit leg in her hand at a very fast speed, and then shifted the target to the rabbit's head, and roughly broke off the rabbit's skull, but Chiyomu didn't let her eat it.
"Rabbit heads are all bones, nothing to eat." Ji Mi didn't listen, she had to taste it. Well, it's really not good, after all, there are no ingredients, and there is not much meat, it is not interesting to eat, and the rabbit head still has to be spicy to eat, just to taste the taste.
Ji Mi's stomach was like a black hole, and it was not enough for a whole rabbit to eat, so she snatched a rabbit leg from her brother and the subject to be full.
After eating a touch of dirty mouth, he squinted his eyes against the cave wall and touched his little bulging belly with satisfaction, "Satie~~" looks funny and cute, and can be so relaxed in such a harsh environment, Ji Heng really admires his sister.
Chiyomu is not surprised, and he gets used to it after watching too much.
The blizzard has not stopped, Chiyo Mu is strong, and he can accept this temperature, but Ji Mi is a girl's family after all, and the girl herself is afraid of the cold, and she has been curled up in the warm quilt and is reluctant to come out.
The next day the snow stopped, and a cold wind followed, but the wind was much better than the blizzard. At least you can make the way.
"How long will it take?" Ji Mi had had enough of it after a few days, the boundless white, and the night was so cold that it was like someone had cut open her flesh, pierced the ice into her bones, and then hammered it in.
Every day she eats rabbits and chickens, and she almost vomits, and for the first time in her life, she misses vegetables and fruits.
Of course, Chiyo Mu knew that she was tired of it, but fortunately, it was almost there, "Our current journey is estimated to arrive early tomorrow morning." ”
This is the best news Ji Mi has heard in a few days, and she jumped on the back of the eagle and almost fell, but fortunately, Chiyo Mu grabbed her quickly.
"Beware of joy and sorrow." After making such a fuss just now, Ji Mi didn't dare to move anymore, and sat down steadily.
As Chiyomu said, they found another cave and spent the night, and the next morning they passed through a vast white fog and arrived at the legendary country - Snow Abyss.
It's actually the same as other places, except that it's cold all year round, covered in snow and ice, and most of the buildings are made of thick ice bricks, and the whole city is shining when the sun comes out.
The people of the Snow Abyss have a special spell that can coat everything with a layer of fine and tight ice crystals, and the vegetables covered by the ice crystals can retain their original bright colors for a long time, and when they want to eat them, they can take them out and melt the ice crystals, as if they were freshly picked.
Meat preserved by ice crystals will not stink and rot for a long time.
As soon as she entered Xue Yuan, Ji Mi felt strange, all the people were dressed very thinly, and she was still wondering if they would be cold, but after a while, she began to get hot all over, and it didn't take long for her to be sweaty.
"At this time, it is the summer of the Snow Abyss, and the two of you have been recognized as the Snow Abyss people after passing through that cold region." Since they have become Xueyuan people, this temperature is nothing to them, so Ji Mi will feel hot and sweaty.
The big jacket on her body was taken off by Ji Mi, and she went into the space to change into a light and breathable long skirt, and Ji Mi suddenly felt refreshed and cool~comfortable~
They took off the thick clothes that got in the way, and the people didn't look at them strangely.
The three of them found an inn to stay in. The people of Xueyuan were very enthusiastic, and the shopkeeper knew that they were coming from outside, not only did they not treat each other coldly, but they were very enthusiastic, and the smiles on their faces were about to pile up folds.
"It's been a long time since we've been here, tell me about it, where are you from, pretty girl?" The shopkeeper saw that Ji Mi was about the same age as his daughter, and she looked smart, and he had a good impression of her.
Ji Mi also liked this kind of enthusiastic shopkeeper, and sat down with a smile to chat with the shopkeeper, "We are from Beiyue. ”
"North Moon?" The shopkeeper only searched in his mind for a second, and then he knew.
"It turned out to be a girl from Beiyue, is your emperor okay?"
This is a bit wrong, Ji Mi asked him curiously, "Do you know our emperor from the shopkeeper?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something, "Your emperor sent someone to look for our academy, but unfortunately he didn't even come to the cold domain~"
"I see." Ji Mi looked at Chiyo Mu, but he shook his head, indicating that the emperor did not send him, and even he heard the news for the first time.
The shopkeeper looked at Ji Mi's face, "Girl, you have Xueyuan blood in your body." ”
Ji Mi felt incredible, "Shopkeeper, how can you see it?" "It shouldn't be obvious, doesn't she look the same as usual? How the shopkeeper can see it at a glance.
"We Xueyuan people will definitely not be wrong to recognize our own family, and if we are not Xueyuan people, we will definitely not be able to come to the cold region, unless it is a master whose strength is strong enough to a certain level, but I can sense that the aura on your body is not strong." This shopkeeper doesn't seem to be simple, and you can see Ji Mi's strength.
But the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed when he saw Ji Heng and Chiyo Mu: "I can't see the strength of these two sons clearly." But he didn't bother, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there are people outside the world." Normal. After that, I was busy greeting the guests.
When she first arrived in Xueyuan, Ji Mi was very excited, and as soon as she put down her things, she pulled Chiyo Mu and Ji Heng to go out for a walk.
"Girl! Girl, girl! Halfway through, Ji Mi was stopped by a middle-aged woman.
The woman was very good-looking, just a little chubby, but it didn't affect her delicate facial features.
Ji Mi turned her head in confusion, "Are you calling me?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The woman excitedly took Ji Mi's hand, "Ouch, this girl is so handsome, let's come from another country." "How come it seems that everyone knows that the three of them are people from outside, could it be that this Xueyuan person has special magic power to see through everything?
"What's the matter, sister?" Ji Mi's mouth is sweet, and she calls the woman from ear to ear, "Ouch, this girl has such a sweet mouth, she is an old woman in fifty, and she is still called a sister." ”
Fifty-one? Ji Mi can now stuff a light bulb in her mouth, what is this the appearance of fifty-one, obviously she is in her thirties, Chiyomu said to her in her ear: "Xueyuan people live in ice and snow all year round, most of them live a long life, and their faces age very slowly. ”
Ji Mi understands now, they are Oyi Frozen Age!
"Such a girl, I like you when I see your appearance, and I will give you a radish~" Huh? Turnip? Ji Mi looked at the extra one in his hand, white and strong, tasseled green radish, why did this Xueyuan person give something to praise people without saying a word, it was too enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm was a little abnormal.
The woman returned to her vegetable stall and shouted, and Ji Mi walked in the crowded market with this surprisingly large turnip, "What day is it in Xueyuan, why are there so many people." ”
"Rushing to the market, on this day of the month, many families take out their own things to sell." Ouch, this radish is so heavy, Ji Mi has to walk a while, Ji Heng couldn't stand it, put the radish in her hand into her own space, and went back to let the shopkeeper stew a radish soup.
Without this big radish, Ji Mi's hands are much easier, and the street food in Xueyuan is not available in Beiyue.
"Wow! Why is this carrot so big! The carrot in her mouth was so big that she needed Ji Mi to look up, and Chiyo Mu was helpless, "This is someone's signature ......"
Oh signboard, Ji Mi is embarrassed, no wonder so many people laughed at themselves when they spoke just now, it turned out to be a signboard, so this is too much like the real thing.
After walking forward for a while, Ji Mi saw a big snowball, "Wow! You can still eat this snowball! Several children threw their faces into the snowball and buried their faces in a large white snowball, and Chiyomu felt that she had brought a silly girl, "They are playing games to see who can withstand the cold and who can hold their breath for a long time." ”
"Oh, I like the fun of Xueyuan children too, I'll try it." Chiyo Mu didn't notice that Ji Mi had already buried her face in the snowball, "Mmmm
Ji Mi was angry, "Why did you pull me out!" I was going to win! Chiyo Mu really thought she was asking for help just now, it turned out that she had misunderstood, and she had to get it, he was punished, and he bought a bowl of ice tofu to coax her.
In Xueyuan, Ji Mi is like returning to her real home, she is a little happy, she feels that such a relaxed and happy atmosphere is suitable for her, and the people's faces are smiling, and they are happy in their hearts.
"I'm going to eat that!" Chiyomu looked in the direction she was pointing, and it was a crystal clear ice apple worn with a skewer.
Ji Mi has never seen a transparent apple, and through the apple, she can still see Chiyo Mu on the other side, "Hehe, it's fun." ”
Eating and drinking along the way, Ji Heng in the back held a lot of food she bought, and she didn't dare to put it in the space, in case she wanted to eat for a while, and found that there was no more, then it had to be turned upside down, foodie, I can't afford to provoke it.
Came to a trick stall, a beautiful woman is performing step by step ice lotus, every time the woman steps on the place where the foot will appear a clear and shining ice lotus, so good-looking.
Seeing this scene step by step, Lian Ji Mi thought of a generation of demon concubine Pan Yunu, but now that she can see it with her own eyes, she can imagine the scene of her dancing for Xiao Bao with her three-inch little feet.
rewarded a piece of silver, and the head of the class thanked Ji Mi again and again, "Miss, you are really kind, thank you, thank you!" Ji Mi chuckled and left.
Back at the inn, Ji Mi was tired and fell on the bed, she knew that she wouldn't go shopping for so long, and her feet hurt to death.
Taking off her shoes and socks, Ji Mi's soles had small blisters, and when she heard Chiyo Mu knocking on the door, Ji Mi hurriedly put her feet into the quilt.
"Don't hide it, I'll pick the blisters for you, rub some medicine tomorrow." He carefully picked up Ji Mi's feet.
Carefully use a needle to break the small blisters for her, and then squeeze out the water with her own hands, and gently apply the ointment to her when she is wiped clean.
"It's cold, it's so comfortable." Chiyo Mu put down the things in her hand and fanned her, "Of course it's cold, look at you, you didn't listen to what you called just now, your feet are hot, how can this ointment not be cold." ”
Ji Mi didn't look angry when she looked at him, she suddenly hugged Chiyo Mu, the man paused, and asked her with a smile, "Why are you suddenly coquettish." ”
"I didn't do anything~ I just want to be intimate with Zixun." Ji Mi's warm breath hit the tip of Chiyo Mu's nose, he originally planned to leave, but he also sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Ji Mi.
"Mi'er," he said to her after a long moment, "what would you do if your mother wasn't as good as you thought?" ”
Ji Mi didn't understand why he suddenly said this, but he didn't think much about it, "No matter how I say it, she is also my mother, although I don't remember her much, but from my brother, I can see that my mother loves the two of us very much, and that's enough." "My brother always said that my mother loved my sister the most, and sometimes he would be jealous, so no matter what, as a mother, she did everything she had to do.
Chiyomu's words are quite meaningful, but Ji Mi doesn't want to think about it so much, since she came to this continent, there are more and more headaches for her, she just wants to find out the cause of her mother's death now, and then return to Beiyue to do her business and make money.
But now my mother's life experience is full of suspicions, and the cause of death is even more unknown.
Mother, let your daughter help you, give me a hint... Good no good...
That night, Ji Mi dreamed that she came to a dark place, and she couldn't see her five fingers, but she could only hear a gentle voice like a calm pool of water, and the voice only said two words, go quickly.
Come on... I'm not going! Mother, I'm not leaving! Why don't you let me help you!
It's not something you can master! Come on! The voice suddenly rose high, sharp as a sharp blade stabbing into Ji Mi's chest.
Ji Mi woke up from the dream, the sweat on her forehead wet the pillow, her face was pale without a little blood, she heard Chiyo Mu knocking on the door, and immediately rubbed her face with her hands, and looked at the bronze mirror and found that it was more ruddy before she went out with confidence.
But Chiyo Mu still saw that something was wrong with her, "Mi'er should tell me everything." "He was a little angry, why did he still hide something from him, he could tell him anything.
"I'll talk about it later..."My brother came, and she didn't want both of them to worry about her. Ji Heng didn't see anything, the meal was quite peaceful, and nothing happened.
But Ji Mi has always been thinking about the dream at night, why, that dream is so real, it seems that the voice is coming from her ears, why don't you let me interfere, is there really any ulterior secret......
After breakfast, Chiyo Mu took Ji Mi back to the room, "Okay, Mi'er tell me about it." ”
"I had a dream last night, and it was very dark, but a female voice told me not to meddle in my mother's affairs, saying that it was something I could not interfere with." As long as she thought of that dream, Ji Mi felt that the voice kept ringing in her ears, over and over again.
"What does Mi'er think?" Chiyo Mu asked Ji Mi, she has to make up her own mind about this kind of thing, she will help if she wants to track herself down, and if she doesn't want to continue, she will escort her back.
"I will never let my mother die in vain." She found out that even if she had to give everything, she had to make herself have a clear conscience, otherwise she would have no memory of her mother in the future, only her death.
She can't stand this, even if this mother is not her biological mother, but now she has this body, which is her biological mother.
Mother's grievances, she will not sit idly by.
Next, what she has to do is to find out her mother's true identity and find the truth about her mother's death.
Chiyo Mu wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, it was better for her to figure it out by herself, and after passing through the mouths of others, it would always change some taste.
She is stepping into a huge black hole, the world's great conspiracy, which has nothing to do with her, why, to wade into this darkness.
But for Ji Mi, her mother is the most important thing, even if the road ahead is dangerous, she will never look back.
"Looks like we're going to stay here for a long time." She had a hunch that her mother's death was as complicated as a cobwebs on the beams of the house that had been blown by the wind, and that there were too many things involved.
But now that the decision has been made, there is no turning back for her.
