Walking non-stop for five days, I finally came to the bottom of Kunlun Mountain, although the temperature here is lower than elsewhere, but it is still a piece of spring, but this Kunlun Mountain, high and not topped, in the top of the mountain that is wrapped in clouds, even the birds can not fly over, it is the snow that does not melt all year round, as if dyeing the white hair on this peak.

"When I used to collect medicine for Master, I only climbed halfway up the mountain, and I never climbed to the top of the mountain!" Wu Qian withdrew his gaze, "This road up the mountain, and its steepness, let's take a rest tonight, nourish our spirits, and when we climb tomorrow, we must have 120,000 points of spirit!" Because there are few people on it, any poisonous snakes, rats and ants may appear, so don't rely on light work to be outstanding, just be careful! ”

"I see, brother!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "We will be cautious!" ”

A few people rested well at the foot of the mountain for the night, and the next morning, they began to climb the mountain.

The road down the mountain is fine, because there are many hunters, so the road is not too steep, and there are no dangerous beasts. But after halfway up the mountain, it was evident that there were fewer people, and the road was still steeper, and the vegetation began to become scarce, until there was no more road, and only the bare stones were piled up in front of it, and they had to make their own way out. Each of them had a rope tied around his waist in case of emergency, and he had abandoned something he didn't need except for water and jerky and a cotton coat, so as not to burden his body.

Wu Qian walked in the front to explore the way, and the other three followed, the higher they went, the colder the temperature, and the more they felt desolate and lonely, and the road was so steep that they had to be cautious, and the difficulty was beyond imagination.

It soon darkened, and because of the steep road, I had to stop and find a slightly flatter place to rest.

Several people sat down in a crowd, their bodies were already drenched in sweat, they drank some water, and ate some dried meat to replenish their strength, because they were tired, they did not speak, and from time to time there would be the howl of wild beasts from afar, and not far away was the sharp neighing of insects. And this place is extremely barren, and it is impossible to light firewood for warmth, it is worth leaning on each other, keeping each other warm, and taking out the cotton clothes to keep warm.

"Hurry up and get some sleep!" Wu Qian said, "I'm here to keep vigil in case of poisonous pests and plagues, and you'll change me later!" ”

The three of them did not refuse, and seized the time to rest.

Jiang Xiaoyu leaned on Zhao Ling's shoulder, looking at the inky sky, a few stars flashed dimly, the desolation and coldness around her, and the capital seemed to be two worlds, but in such a world, her heart quieted down, the more so, the intrigue in her heart was also disgusted in the face of the capital, and she didn't know when that kind of life was a head, and when the agreement between Zhao Ling and Zhao Ling to travel through the mountains and rivers would be realized.

Zhao Ling kissed Jiang Xiaoyu on the forehead, hugged her tighter, and whispered: "I must be tired today, let's sleep quickly!" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, "You too!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu fell asleep in a daze, and she didn't know how long it took, when she was suddenly awakened by a sound, she opened her eyes, but saw that there were a few more corpses of poisonous snakes around, and at this moment they were staring at several pairs of green eyes.

"These things are very cunning, they won't go toe-to-toe with us, they'll follow us until we're exhausted!" Wu Qian said, "So we don't have to fear them until we lose our ability to act completely, but we do need one of the four of us to stay awake in case they sneak up." ”

Yang Xing said: "You sleep for a while, I'll change you!" ”

Wu Qian fell asleep holding the sword, and after Jiang Xiaoyu sensed that there was no danger, he also closed his eyes.

On the second day, just after dawn, after a few people ate something, they climbed up again, the colder the wind became, and the steep mountain wall made the climb more and more difficult.

"Don't move!" Wu Qian suddenly shouted.

Jiang Xiaoyu kept what he was climbing on, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing that next to Jiang Xiaoyu was a small pile of snow, and next to the snow was a small grass, Wu Qian flew to Jiang Xiaoyu's side, touched the small grass with his sword scabbard, and saw that the inconspicuous grass suddenly spewed out a stream of liquid, and the liquid fell on the corpse not far away, emitting a puff of green smoke.

"I didn't expect this little grass to hide a crisis, it seems that I should really be more careful!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with palpitations.

Wu Qian patted Jiang Xiaoyu's head and said, "You follow me and follow my footsteps!" ”

"Good!"

At this time, Zhao Ling, who was aware of the abnormality, also came to Jiang Xiaoyu's side and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay! Fortunately, my brother has a lot of experience! Jiang Xiaoyu said, he should follow Wu Gan's movements and continue to climb up.

Before it got dark, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain. But the danger has just begun, the snow is falling, the cold wind is howling, and there is a white world in front of you, how easy is it to find the snow wolf in it?

As the sun went down, the temperature got cooler and cooler. The men looked for shelter from the wind and firewood, and then they were eating dried meat with snow and water next to the fire. The cold on the top of this mountain is different from the ordinary cold, drilling into people's bones, as if they are starting to freeze from the bones, Jiang Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but tremble.

Taking care of Xiaoyu's body, Zhao Ling kept holding her in his arms, she trembled, and he asked worriedly: "Xiaoyu, is your body okay?" Can it still be supported? ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I'm fine, I can do it!" ”

Zhao Ling sighed lightly and didn't say anything more.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xiaoyu trembled even more, and even Wu Qian sensed that something was wrong, he said with a calm face: "You have been poisoned by the cold, and your body is already more afraid of cold than us, and the snow wolf is uncertain, we may need to collect it on this mountain for a few more days, you should go down the mountain!" ”

"I'm all here, you're going to let me go down the mountain?" Jiang Xiaoyu bit his lip, "I don't, I'm fine!" I'm sure I'll find Snow Wolf! ”

"Obedient!"

"Let her follow us!" Zhao Ling said, "I'll watch her!" ”

"There may be a snowstorm on this mountain at any time, and there are all kinds of unexpected dangers, and you may be too busy to take care of yourself at that time, how can you take care of her?" Wu Qian asked coldly.

"It's my business!" Zhao Ling said.

"Your business? Xiaoyu is my junior sister, and I won't let him continue to take risks! Wu Qian said, "She should go down the mountain!" ”

"She's my wife, I care more about her safety than anyone else, I won't let her have anything to do!" Zhao Ling said.

"Don't make any noise!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Senior brother, I know that you are worried about my body, but my own body, I have my own measure. That's good, wait another day, if I still don't find the snow wolf, I'll go down the mountain! ”

Wu Qian nodded, took off his cloak, handed it to Jiang Xiaoyu, and said, "Put it on!" ”

"Do you want to freeze yourself to death in the mountains?" Jiang Xiaoyu said in surprise.

"I often run outside, my body is more resistant to frost than yours, besides, my inside is deeper than yours, don't worry about me, worry about yourself first!" Wu Qian said, "Put it on!" ”

Zhao Ling quietly wrapped Jiang Xiaoyu in his cloak and said with a smile: "It's warmer this way, senior brother should wear it, if you get sick, we will have more trouble!" I'll take care of the little fish, so don't worry! ”

Wu Qian lowered his eyes, put on his cloak, and didn't say anything more.

When the sun came out, it warmed up a lot, and Jiang Xiaoyu finally came back to life.

It's just that this snow wolf is rarely seen by people, let alone the method of hunting. In pairs of four, they can only search next to each other in the mountains, hoping to meet the snow wolf by luck!

Jiang Xiaoyu staggered through the snow more than a foot thick, and Zhao Ling was by her side, observing everything about her at any time.

"I think Senior Brother is really good to you!" Zhao Ling said.

"Yes, he is my senior brother, except for the master, he is good to me!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "But he is also the eldest and the youngest, when we go back from here, how about we tell our senior brother about a family matter?" ”

"You're telling your senior brother about your family? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you? Zhao Ling said with a smile, this stupid girl, I'm afraid that she just treats her senior brother as a brother, and she hasn't thought about it in that way. He himself discovered Wu Qian's feelings when he was in Subei more than a year ago, but this girl still doesn't know anything. However, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper for Wu Qian, I wish Xiaoyu would not be aware of it for the rest of his life!

"I have good intentions, why did he kill me? I haven't seen him get close to that girl in all these years, and if I go down again, I'm afraid that my brother and I will have to worry! There is a precedent for their Li family, and I'm afraid that my senior brother will also go down that path! Jiang Xiaoyu said, "However, my senior brother has a good background, good looks, high martial arts, and righteousness, what kind of girl can be worthy of him?" ”

"Senior brother's feelings, let him make his own decisions, don't mix it blindly!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly.

In this ice and snow, the two walked slowly, Jiang Xiaoyu said: "It's not a way to go on like this, when will you find it!" Even if we have time to look for it slowly, my uncle can't hold on! I must think of a way to lure the snow wolf out! ”

"There are very few records of snow wolves in this book, but although this snow wolf is rare, it will definitely come out to forage for food, right? If you can know the food it eats, and then wait for the rabbit, it is also a way! Zhao Ling said.
