"Xianyi, what's going on?" Liu Gu was awakened by the sound outside and asked in a low voice.

Yuan Xi whispered: "It's okay, it should be something passing by, I didn't find us." ”

Liu Gu let out a soft "oh", and then said with some worry: "Are there any other large and dangerous animals around here?" When we set off tomorrow, will we encounter danger? ”

Yuan Xi frowned, Aunt Liu's worries were not unreasonable, but at the end of the day yesterday, she didn't encounter any danger, so she should be fine, right?

"It should be fine, maybe those people who passed by just now sounded a little like the sound of horses' hooves."

Thinking of the sound of horses' hooves, Yuan Xi was suddenly taken aback, yes, the sound of "da-da, dong-dong" just now didn't look like the sound of horses' hooves?

"I'll go up and see, if there's someone, maybe we'll be saved." Yuan Xi was excited, if it was really someone, he didn't want to miss this opportunity in vain.

"Xianyi," Liu Gu hurriedly stopped him, "Don't go up, if it's not a person, then what?" Besides, there are bad people, me, it's better for us to go by ourselves. ”

Yuan Xi pondered how many villains would be on his territory, but dangerous creatures were possible.

Hesitating, he still wanted to go up, and just turned his head to get about to go up.

I heard Aunt Liu say again: "Xianyi, don't go." ”

"Aunt Liu," Yuan Xi took a deep breath to calm down his emotions as much as possible, "If there are really people, it may be the best chance for us to be rescued, and I don't know where this place is at the moment." I don't even feel like I can get out. Miss this great opportunity, we could really die here. ”

Aunt Liu was silent.

Yuan Xi picked up the big knife and gently moved the sleigh to the side, and when a snow hole was revealed on it, he poked his head out.

As far as the eye could see, there was a glimmer of light in the darkness outside, and there were no people or objects around.

Yuan Xi pulled the sleigh a little more, and then walked out of the snow cave and climbed out.

Standing on the snow, Yuan Xi looked around, there was nothing, it seemed that he had gone far, so much time was wasted just now, it was not strange to go far. In fact, Yuan Xi himself didn't have the idea of having to come out just now, in case he encountered any danger, it would really be over.

Sighing, Yuan Xi walked to both sides, wanting to see what footprints there were, and soon he found a group of dense footprints not far away, but where are these footprints the footprints of horses' hooves, as if they were small sticks, randomly inserted in the snow.

"You're great-sir." Yuan Xi's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly ran back, he didn't know what this thing was, it seemed that there were quite a few. Fortunately, he didn't come out immediately, otherwise he would have been killed, and it was estimated that he would be a dead end.

When he returned to the snow cave, he was completely relieved, secretly blaming himself for being confused, who would ride out on a horse in this cold and snowy place, and besides, it was not easy for the war horse to walk on it at all, otherwise he would have ridden a horse before. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had been impulsive and lacking in consideration. If it wasn't for Aunt Liu's momentary blockade, she almost lost her life.

"Xianyi?" Liu Gu couldn't see it, and when she heard the sound, she called out a little uneasily.

"It's me, Aunt Liu."

A gentle and mellow voice came, which relieved Aunt Liu's mood, "Is there anyone?" Although she felt risky, Aunt Liu's expectations were no less than those of Yuan Xi.

It's a pity that she was disappointed, "No." ”

"It's okay, if you don't, you can't have it. Rest early, tomorrow we will be in a good hurry, and we will definitely be able to get out. ”

Yuan Xi said in his heart, where is it so simple.

Both of them tacitly did not mention what was out there.

After saying a few words, the snow cave fell silent again.

I just went out, and I let in a lot of cold air, and I didn't move much, and my body was very cold. Yuan Xi leaned his leather armor against the snow wall, curled up as much as he could, pressed his legs against the soles of his feet, held his thumb in the palm of his hand, against the base of his ring finger, and then used the other four fingers to wrap his thumb inside. That's just a little more comfortable.

These practices were learned from Hua Tuo, which can stick to the essence and not show it, and naturally have a certain effect on keeping the body warm.

It's a pity that the place is too small, otherwise some other practices can be implemented.

However, this approach can also play a little psychological role, and in the face of huge cold night temperatures, it is obviously a little insignificant.

It didn't take long for his body to get even colder.

"Whew." A long breath of hot air. Yuan Xi swung his body and moved his somewhat stiff legs and feet.

"Xianyi," Liu Gu's voice came again in the darkness, "haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Not yet, why haven't you slept yet? Rest early, you are weak, it is better not to stay up late. ”

"I'm a little cold." Liu Gu's voice couldn't hear any emotion, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her, "Xianyi is also cold, right?" ”

Yuan Xi opened his mouth, and finally nodded cheekily, then remembered that Liu Gu couldn't see, and said loudly: "Some, the temperature outside is low, and you can't move, your hands and feet can't move too much, your blood is not smooth, and the cold is a little fast." ”

He didn't know why he was explaining so much, anyway, he really wanted to tell the reason why he was cold.

"Then, then you can also come in and lie down, the two of you are warmer." Liu Gu said the words softly.

Yuan Xi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, such a good opportunity, a woman's ears were soft, if she refused, Aunt Liu would not be so insistent, and she was the one who suffered.

But without saying anything, it seemed too thick-skinned, and after hesitating, he said, "Is this good?" Aunt Liu, your body is weak, I like to move when I sleep, if I overwhelm you, it won't be good......." After speaking, he found that his face began to burn.

"It's fine." Fortunately, Aunt Liu didn't say much, just replied softly.

"Then I'm coming......" Yuan Xi felt that once there was a real chance to make you take a step closer, the temptation was too great, and it was good to know that if you could escape, the defense would drop a lot.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi took off the clothes on his body, put the leather armor aside, and said while taking it off: "The clothes are on the quilt, my body is a little cold, Aunt Liu, you bear with it." ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi stopped talking, it was too hypocritical to talk too much, he told himself that this was just an act of last resort, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Unbuttoning the quilt, a sudden burst of heat came, and Yuan Xi laughed and said, "It's so hot, it's really cold outside." ”

"My feet are also a little icy. In this place, there are more quilts, and there is no way for a person to stand it. If I hadn't shown it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on to tomorrow. ”
