This time, Bingyan held Xue Qing's hand all the way, not daring to let go, for fear that she would have any accidents. He repacked all his bags and carried them all on his back.

There are still endless snow-capped mountains in front of me, or that white expanse, just because there is a person around me, looking at this snow-white world also seems poetic.

The two people held hands and walked slowly side by side, even if there was no word, the full affection continued to overflow, warming each other's hearts, and the road was far away but no longer boring.

After walking a little further, a steep hill appeared in front of them, not as high as the top and as far as the eye could see. Xue Qing took out the map and compass again, checked it again, and deduced that the direction to the hinterland of the snowy mountains was forward. If you take a detour, you don't know how much time it will take, so you can only turn over.

"Why don't we go back to the cave first, you wait for me there......"

"No, I don't know how many obstacles lie ahead. If I could sit still, I'd wait at the inn. Xue Qing shook her head and said, "Bingyan, let me be with you, no matter how bitter it is, I am willing." ”

"Good. However, this mountain is too high to be used lightly. We're going to have to go a little faster, and we'll have to get there before dark and find a place to stay overnight. ”

"Hmm."

Ice Flame picked up Xue Qing again and climbed up step by step. The slopes of the hill are getting steeper and steeper, and in some cases they are even straight up.

Bingyan had to let go of Xue Qing: "You wait for me first, I'll go up and carve out a few stepping places, and then come over to pull you." ”

This section of the hillside is mostly hard ice, and it took a lot of effort for Ice Flame to dig out two rows of shallow pits. Xue Qing stood there and looked at him, and when she stopped, her feet began to go numb.

Once Ice Flame was on her feet, she reached out to pull her. Xue Qing smiled and handed his hand to him, and followed the steps. The numb feet had no sensation, and Xue Qing stepped directly into the air, and the whole person slid down.

"Xue Qing......" Ice Flame flew forward to grab her and pull her into his arms, but he didn't have time to retract his strength. With no place to borrow, the two rolled down the hill until they hit a rock and stopped.

"Xue Qing, are you okay?" Ice Flame sat up first, picked Xue Qing up, and patted the snow off her body.

"I'm fine, right ......" Xue Qing just wanted to apologize, but found something, and pointed to the distance in surprise and shouted: "Look over there!" ”

Ice Flame looked in the direction she was pointing, as if she saw a slight blush. He rubbed his eyes, making sure it wasn't a hallucination.

"Let's go!" He stood up and pulled Xue Qing up.

"Hmm!"

The two of them approached the place quickly and cautiously, only to see that the red color became more and more conspicuous.

Finally, the two of them arrived at the red. On the edge of the cliff, there were a dozen or so blood-red, crystal-clear flowers the size of fingernails. If you look closely, you can vaguely see the transparent stems and leaves that blend in with the snow-capped mountains. In this white world, if you are not careful and do not stop your feet in time, you will fall off the cliff.

Xue Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Nether Flower, it really exists!" ”

Ice Flame crouched down and reached out to pluck it. However, as soon as his hand touched the red flower, the whole Nether Flower vanished, turning into a few drops of red water and disappearing into the snow and ice. It's like the blood being swallowed up by this cliff, no wonder it's called the Nether Flower.

Ice Flame frowned.

"I'm coming!" Xue Qing grabbed him.

I saw that she first opened the package, took out a jade box, and then opened the jade box and placed it near the Nether Flower. Even in this icy and snowy place, the thousand-year-old ice in the jade box still exudes a trace of coldness.

Xue Qing put her little hand in the snow, and when her hand was cold, she pushed Bai Xue with both hands and slowly approached the Nether Flower. When she surrounded the small piece of Nether Flower with both hands through the snow, Xue Qing picked up the Nether Flower in the snowdrift, picked it up by the roots, and carefully put the Snow White and the Netherflower into the jade box together.

Xue Qing also covered the top of the Nether Flower with a layer of white snow, and carefully cleaned the excess snow and covered it with a jade box; He took out another piece of cloth, wrapped the jade box separately, and handed it to Ice Flame.

Bingyan put away the package, pulled her little hand that was red from the cold, and covered it gently, not daring to use force, for fear of hurting her.

"It is said that the Nether Flower can be eaten directly with the snow, and it is best to put it in a stone pot with the snow of the Qionglong Snow Mountain, and simmer to extract the essence."

"Okay, I see." Bingyan smiled, "Nether Flower, I didn't expect us to find it." ”

Xue Qing also smiled, smiling brightly, Bing Yan was fascinated, but saw her slowly close her eyes and fall down.

"Xueqing ......" Bingyan hurriedly supported her, and after carrying her bags, he picked her up, carried the light work, and flew back to the cave where she lived yesterday as fast as possible.

Xue Qing's body was cold. Like yesterday, Ice Flame blocked the entrance to the cave with a felt cloth, lit a candle, held her in his arms, wrapped the two of them in a cloak, and covered her with a thick felt cloth, using his body to warm her.

It's just that, although he himself was so hot that his head was sweating, the person in his arms did not get warmer, but became colder and colder.

"Xue Qing...... Xue Qing ...... Wake up...... You must not be fine...... Xue Qing ......" He felt an unprecedented fear and kept calling her name, "Xue Qing, Xue Qing, you wake up, I need you, I need your help, you wake up soon......"

Xue Qing didn't wake up like yesterday, Bing Yan hugged her cold body, and a sense of powerlessness came to her heart, how could she save her......

……

……

Shoved the last drop of the potion into her mouth, feeling her body no longer continue to get cold. After a while, her body began to slowly warm up, and Bingyan was finally relieved. He just hugged her tightly and waited for her to wake up.

……

After a long time, the person in his arms moved, and his eyelids also moved, trying to open his eyes. Ice Flame said softly, "Awake? ”

Hearing his voice, Xue Qing opened her eyes suddenly, and after seeing it clearly, she hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing here!" Go back, I'll die alone! ”

Bingyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Xue Qing looked at him puzzled: "If I hadn't died, how could I feel warm on my body, and the previous discomfort had disappeared without a trace?" ”

Bingyan said seriously, "I said I wouldn't let you die. ”

"What did you do?" Xue Qing suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Didn't do anything."

"Nether Flower? You gave me the Nether Flower, didn't you? Xue Qing sat up, "How can you be like this, it took us so much effort to find it, and it was used to improve your internal strength......"

"None of that matters, you're the most important thing!" Ice Flame interrupted her.

"What did you say!" Xue Qing looked at him in shock, unable to believe her ears.

Yes, she is the most important thing, and he can no longer deceive himself. When Xue Qing was lying in his arms, his body was getting colder and colder, and he couldn't do anything, when he felt that he was about to lose her and was powerless to grasp it, it was as if the whole world had collapsed, and he suddenly felt that all his pursuits had lost their meaning. He didn't think about Qiao Anping, what was the world's best swordsmanship, he just wanted her to wake up, smile at him, and call him "Brother Bingyan".

Bing Yan looked into Xue Qing's eyes, revealing an unprecedentedly serious look, and said slowly and solemnly: "You are the most important thing. ”

The change came too suddenly, Xue Qing reached out in disbelief and touched his face, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and her voice trembled and asked, "You...... Do you remember it all? ”

Ice Flame shook his head.

"I don't care, I know that my efforts will not be in vain...... Xue Qing cried with joy and threw herself into his arms, "Brother Bingyan...... Don't leave me again......"

Ice Flame opened his hand and hugged her tightly. At this moment, he doesn't want anything anymore, as long as she, as long as the person in his arms is well, he can be with her for a long time.

Suddenly, he saw Xue Qing's grinning expression, thinking that she was uncomfortable again, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

"I ...... I'm scared...... I'm afraid it's just a dream...... So......" Xue Qing said flattened, "It really hurts......" but secretly said in her heart: If I knew this, I would have made it lighter, and it is estimated that my legs will be green.

Ice Flame smiled and hugged her tighter.

"That's right," Xue Qing suddenly pushed him away, "Is there any Nether Flower left, don't waste it, even if there is only a little residue left, it will have some effect." ”

"No, it's all for you."

"Oh...... Hey, why are you so stupid, I picked so much, and you don't keep a little for yourself. Xue Qing pouted, complaining that Bingyan had wasted her effort, and then said, "Then, if you put the remnants of snow in the jade box in the stone pot and cook it again, you should still be able to extract a trace of residual essence; Otherwise, let's wait until dawn to see ......."

"Okay, it's all up to your ......" Bingyan obediently did as she was told, snickering and boiling snow water. He wouldn't tell her how he fed her the medicine just now, and he really ate a lot of the remaining medicine.

He boiled the snow water and drank it, cooked some dry food, and then put his arms around her, kept each other warm, and slowly fell asleep.
