The next morning, there was no morning light, the sky was gray, there were some snowflakes scattered in the air, and the cold wind blew on the face, leaving a chill.

Lime put all her hands close to Qiu Chulin's neck, feeling the pimples on his neck caused by the cold, and stretched out her hand to the warm depths, with a sly look in her eyes, "Husband, are you cold?" ”

"It's not cold." Qiu Chulin moved his neck, wrapped his hands around Lime's waist, leaned down, and leaned close to her frozen red cheeks, "It's been a morning shopping, are you hungry?" ”

"Hmm." Lime nodded hurriedly, and his eyes drifted to the newly opened bun shop on the side.

"Want to eat?" Qiu Chulin asked.

Lime looked at the bun shop and hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's go back and eat, or leave my father-in-law to eat alone, it's boring." ”

Since the day he came out of the dungeon, Lime changed his name to Yan Qiyang. No matter what happened back then, who was wrong and who was right, Yan Qiyang finally saved the lives of his father and mother for more than ten years, and it was natural to call him a "righteous father".

"It's not easy, why don't we buy some and take them back to eat with our stepfather?" Qiu Chulin rubbed Lime's hair, took off her hands that were warm around his neck, held them in his palms, and led her towards the bun shop.

Lime followed awkwardly, her thick dress restricting her steps.

"The two guest officers looked at Mian Sheng, they were the new nobles who lived in the inn yesterday, right?" The shopkeeper of the steamed bun shop led the two limes to the store, tore off the white scarf around their necks, and said with a smile while wiping the table, "I heard yesterday that there are many nobles in the inn, and they are generous, and the cost of one day is more than what Boss Li earned last year." It's just that I didn't expect that my bun Zhang can also be stained with the blessings of nobles! Two nobles, you wait, the little one will pick up the buns for the two of you. ”

"Wrap it up and we'll take it home and eat it." Qiu Chulin's face was slightly stiff, and his mood changed slightly.

"Don't be sad, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, this cloud town is backed by the Tianshan Mountains, although the trade route is not passable, but the mountains can always feed the people of this town. It's winter now, the snow covers the mountains, it's not good to hunt, and it will be much better in the spring after a few days. Lime said softly.

"Madame is right, don't look at this Tianshan is a snow-capped mountain, but the products are also abundant, in addition to the snow peak perennial snow, the mountainside below a spring, the woods are luxuriant, the beasts are infested, the first mountain beasts and wild vegetables born here are enough for the villagers of a town to spend a year." The king of steamed buns handed the steamed buns to Qiu Chulin, and his face couldn't hide his joy, "When it comes to autumn, I won't sell steamed buns anymore, so I will go up the mountain to hunt, and then go to the front city to sell meat, I am the butcher with the best reputation in this area." ”

"Thank you." Qiu Chulin's eyebrows did not spread, he took the steamed bun and paid for it, took Lime's hand again, and left the steamed bun shop, "The people are suffering, but I can't do anything for them." ”

"Nonsense, if you didn't defend the border, where would the people come to live in peace?" Lime shook Qiu Chulin's hand, hugged his sturdy waist, rested his chin in front of him, and raised his head to look at him, "Which of the many scars you left on your body was not left for the people?" You've done a good job, and I'm not allowed to say that about yourself. ”

"Does Lemon really think I'm doing a good job?" Qiu Chulin hugged her and asked with a light smile.

"Of course, the husband I picked is naturally the best in everything." Lime stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cool cheek, saying proudly.

When he returned to the inn, Yan Qiyang was standing in front of the window looking at the direction of the snow-capped mountain.

"Father, what do you see? Come and have breakfast, the buns won't taste good when they're cold for a while. Lime came to the window and interrupted Yan Qiyang's thoughts.

"Hmm." Yan Qiyang seemed to like to listen to Lime call him his father-in-law, every time Lime called him like this, he would respond with a smile, and this time was no exception, a few wrinkles crawled on his slightly old face, which looked much kinder than usual.

After the three of them sat down, Lime first picked up a bun and sent it to Qiu Chulin's bowl, Qiu Chulin took a big bite under Lime's expectant gaze and savored it, "It's not bad, you can eat it too!" ”

"Okay." Lime smiled and turned his gaze from Qiu Chulin to the bun on the table, and picked up the biggest clip and gave it to Yan Qiyang, "My father-in-law also eats it, my husband has tried it, it's delicious!" ”

Qiu Chulin sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly, since she married into the General's Mansion, she has become more and more eccentric.

Yan Qiyang enjoyed it, enjoying the family fun of his children around his knees, and picking up buns and eating them with relish.

He looked like this, not at all like him who showed his old spicy and cruel side to himself in the past, Lime looked at Yan Qiyang's moving cheeks, and suddenly asked, "Father-in-law, I have never understood, why did you save my father?" The father snatched the concubine, don't you hate him? ”

Yan Qiyang paused, raised his eyelids and glanced at Lime, and then as if he hadn't heard Lime's question, he continued to eat his meat buns.

It wasn't until the buns on the table were swept away by these three people that Yan Qiyang took a sip of tea comfortably and cleared his throat, "Hate, hate to the bones, I can't wait to break him into pieces." ”

Lime stared at him intently, but she couldn't see the slightest flaw.

Yan Qiyang's words were said lightly, as if he was telling the story of others, so that people couldn't hear the ups and downs of emotions, "But I also promised your mother to let you go." ”

Lime wanted to ask something, but Yan Qiyang didn't give her a chance, he got up, returned to the window, stared at the direction of Xuefeng, and his face became solemn, "This trip is unpredictable, you two must remember that if any accident occurs, you must first ensure your own safety." When necessary, you can abandon the car to protect the handsome......"

Yan Qiyang's words didn't seem to be finished, but he didn't say any more, he looked up at the sky above the snow peak, and his face became more and more ugly.

Two days later, they packed their bags, brought enough necessities, and hired an old hunter to guide them, and they went into the mountains in the snowstorm.

There are not many people in the group, counting the old hunters, there are more than two dozen people in total.

On the first day into the mountain, the wind and snow were still small, everyone hurried according to the map drawn by Liu Wuxian Shenwu "Phoenix" double fan, the road was very fast, in the evening of the first day, it had reached the halfway up the mountain, and then went up, and then stepped into the geographical range of the snow peak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's rest here for the night and then turn back the way we came, and then it will not be the realm that mortals like me should set foot in." The old hunter propped up his tent on the side, and muttered to himself, "The gods are above, and all living beings are ......."

"Old Orion, have you ever gone up to the Snow Peak? What is on it? Yan Qiyang asked.

"Guest officer, old man, I have been hunting all my life, and I have never crossed it, so naturally I don't know what is on it, I only know that the snow on the snow peak has not melted all year round, and it has not changed for hundreds of years." The old Orion replied.

"Then your ancestors, have anyone ever been there? Or have you ever brought someone up? Yan Qiyang asked again.

"Guest officer, don't ask, the entire Cloud Town has followed the ancestral teachings for generations, and absolutely no one has ever gone up!" The old hunter's attitude changed suddenly, as if he had been poked in the foot, and shouted at Yan Qiyang.

"Don't worry, old man, we don't have any malicious intentions." Seeing this, Ke Shiying immediately stepped forward to appease, she handed over a water bag, and her face was sincere, "You have also been busy for a day, we are young and healthy and tired and don't want to move, you drink saliva and rest, wait for a while The food is hot, I will call you to eat." ”

"Father-in-law, take a break." Lime hugged a thick blanket and stuffed it into Yan Qiyang's arms, pointed to the newly erected tent on the side and said, "That's the tent prepared for you, you can rest first." ”

"Well, what about Lin'er? Why don't you see him? Yan Qiyang asked after looking around for a week.

"They're on patrol and they'll be back later." Lime added some dead branches to the campfire, took out the prepared dry food and roasted it next to the campfire.

"Now that the eldest princess has a good match, please stay away from my senior brother!" Ke Shiying walked by the lime's side with a kind face, stayed by her side for a moment, and left a vicious word, "Don't do it at the same time, and set up an archway!" ”

"Don't worry, the crown princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom you regard as a treasure and hold it in the palm of your hand, is worthless to me." Lime turned her head slightly and looked at Ke Shiying's sinister eyes, "What the crown princess wants to do is to try her best to tie the heart of His Royal Highness the prince, not to threaten me." ”

Ke Shiying snorted coldly and returned to the account as if nothing had happened.

"Princess, don't you think this princess is a little strange!" Jing Chuchu came back from the forest with a dead branch, looked Ke Shiying who was cleaning up the tent not far away up and down a few times, and whispered to Lime.

"What's wrong?" Lime followed her line of sight, but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

"You forgot? When you first returned to Suyan, she was pregnant, if you count the days, this is just about to give birth, and she will be out of confinement. Don't you think it's strange that Fang Fang walked all the way like this after the confinement? Jing Chuchu leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Moreover, we haven't heard of the news that the Jinnan Prince's Mansion is going to add a new ding." ”

"You mean, she ......" Lime's guess stopped at her lips as she saw Qiu Chulin and Qiu Xiyang in the woods.

"The child in her womb was gone in less than three months." Liu Wuxian suddenly appeared behind the two of them, and he startled Lime in a tremble.

"Strings!" Lime recognized the voice and let out a slow sigh, "Why are you so elusive! Didn't you go on patrol with your brother, what about my brother? ”

This person used to be her rival in love, Jing Chuchu always felt a little uncomfortable staying with him, she flashed someone at the right time to find her little general, and made room for Liu Wuxian to come out.

Liu Wuxian didn't sit down, he looked left and right, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, "Jinyue, didn't he come back?" ”

Jing Chuchu carried a water bag in her hand, and was about to greet the little general, but found that the two of them had extremely bad faces, especially the little general of her family, who had a few obvious red marks on his body.

"You're hurt?" Jing Chuchu crossed Qiu Chulin, came up with an arrow and supported Qiu Xiyang, and immediately checked his wounds.

After a while, Jing Chuchu finally breathed a sigh of relief, although these blood marks were terrifying, most of his clothes were intact, he only suffered a few minor injuries, and the rest were beast blood.

"Listen to my order, everyone pack up and set off in an hour!" Qiu Chulin's face was slightly gloomy.

"What's going on? What about my brother? Lime quickly got up and asked.

"What about Senior Brother? Why didn't he come back? Ke Shiying's inquiry also hurriedly came and asked anxiously.

"They were confronted by wolves and forced to climb the snowy peaks. We must set off as soon as possible and follow the trail to the snowy peaks to find them. Qiu Chulin said.
