Chapter Eighty-Five: Searching for the Mountain

Entering the cold and biting river, Chu Xing struggled a bit, and the demonic energy on her body disappeared, and she paddled her unconscious hands and feet until she was exhausted and finally couldn't hold it back. She poked out of the water, and at this moment, she didn't know how far she had swam, she shivered, looked around, and the shore was empty. She hurriedly climbed ashore.

Stumbling, he continued to run towards the mountains and forests. She didn't know where this far place was, and she didn't know where she was going, in short, avoid that Sister Yan first.

The goose feather snow was still falling, and Chu Xing didn't know how long she had been running, her soaked clothes had already frozen, her hair was covered with frost and snow, her teeth chattered, her whole body was purple, her legs trembled and she didn't obey the call, and finally her knees went limp, and she collapsed on the side of the road.

She looked at the six-petal frost flowers that fell from the sky, and her whole body was cold. Why, but in January, I became like this. Grandpa and Grandma's revenge has not been avenged, am I going to end up here? Unwilling, unwilling.

"Eh, Daddy, is there a person lying there?"

There was a faint voice in my ears.

As if seeing the dawn of hope, she hurriedly raised her hand with the last of her strength and waved it. Whoever it is, just let me live, please.

"Help, help. She cried out in a faint voice, only to hear the rustle of her feet stepping into the snow getting closer and closer, and her heart was very relieved, and she gradually closed her eyes.

In the wooden house deep in the mountains, a little boy of seventeen or eight years old was curiously looking at the woman lying on the warm kang.

"Auntie, this sister, when will you sleep?"

The little boy tilted his head, flipping through the package that had been unloaded from Chu Xing's back, a few soaked books, a few pieces of silver, and a piece of jade pendant.

"Xiao An, don't rummage through other people's things, didn't A-Niang teach you?" The woman by the fire, flipping the half-dried clothes that had been baked, looked at the first star on the bed, shook her head, and did not know where the poor man came from. Come to think of it, maybe it has nothing to do with that Hongyan Building.

Yesterday, when her husband picked up the woman from the mountains, she was really startled, she was frozen purple, and her whole body was frozen, she almost thought that this woman could not be saved, but she was still tenacious, warm overnight, and gradually recovered her breath.

was thinking about what to do with this woman, but on the warm kang, Chu Xing snorted twice, and his fingers gradually moved.

"Girl?"

"Sister?"

Chu Xing slowly got up, touched the warm bedding on his body, and looked up to see a young round face, blinking big eyes and red cheeks, looking at himself.

"You are?"

It was actually a child, her guard relaxed, she reluctantly raised the corners of her lips, and said softly. Reached out and touched the child's face, could it be that this little guy saved himself?

"His name is Zi'an, the girl is hungry, drink some porridge." ”

Chu Xing looked back, and behind her, a woman in a fur jacket was carefully walking to her side with a bowl of gruel and putting the bowl down.

"Sister, what is this?" Zi'an curiously picked up a box of red things, twisted it with great effort, and saw that the red rouge powder that had been broken by the bumps was all clumped and scattered on the bed.

"Tsk, you kid. ”

I didn't expect Zi'an to be so naughty, the aunt embarrassedly stepped forward to pick up those rouges and put them into the box, and wiped the bed several times before it was almost eliminated, leaving only a faint trace.

"It doesn't matter. Chu Xing looked at the rouge that could no longer be used, smiled, and helped clean it up together.

Then, for fear that Zi'an would destroy things again, the aunt picked up Zi'an. Only then did Chu Xing see the slender and weak legs under Zi'an, swaying in the air, she lowered her eyes and deliberately didn't look at that side.

"Thank you, Auntie, is this?"

Chu Xing picked up the bowl of steaming gruel and drank it slowly, the warmth stretched all the way from her mouth, to her stomach, and spread all over her body, and she finally felt that she had regained her body temperature.

"This is Yunrui Mountain, which is next to the northernmost side of Daqing Mountain. We are the keepers of the mountain here. The girl fainted in the snow yesterday and was picked up by my husband. We offended the girl and changed her clothes, but we did not touch the girl's things, and the package was for the girl to inspect and inspect. ”

The woman carried Zi'an to a chair by the fire and sat down, rummaging through the fire and telling in detail. glanced at the jade pendant. This girl was very poorly dressed, but she was carrying three pieces of jade. It's very strange and weird.

Hatsuxing looked at the soaked books in his package and frowned, not knowing if he could fix it. Alas.

And he saw that little bit of silver and jade pendants, all of them were there. It made me feel a sour nose, and I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to meet such a kind person.

She struggled out of bed, her knees limped, and she fell to her knees.

"Thank you, Auntie, for saving your life. ”

As she was about to bow down, the woman hurried forward to help her up.

"The girl doesn't have to make such a big gift, I can't afford it. Girl, get up. If my husband sees this, he will definitely talk about me. ”

As the two pushed and pulled, the door opened, and a man covered in frost and snow pushed the door in, carrying two hares in his hands.

Chu Xing looked at the man, burly, dark-skinned, full of beard, and threw the hare in his hand very rudely, and fell to the ground on the side.

"Wake up, girl, wake up, girl, go. ”

The man's eyes were cold, looking at Chu Xing, he knew that this woman was not simple yesterday, but he didn't expect to see a wave of people coming towards the mountain from a distance when he patrolled the mountain today.

Chu Xing originally had some heartfelt feelings and wanted to thank the eldest brother in person, but he didn't expect that as soon as they met, they would issue an eviction order, Chu Xing was stunned, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, could it be that this eldest brother knew something? She put away the embarrassment on her face and nodded.

The eldest aunt and Zi'an on the side looked at the eldest brother very puzzled. My husband is not like this on weekdays.

"Daddy, didn't you say that you want to hunt hares for your sister to make up for your body, why did you drive your sister away as soon as you came?"

Zi'an is a child after all, and he is outspoken, looking at the somewhat strange father in front of him in puzzlement.

"Yes, this girl has just woken up, and her body is still very weak, you tell her to go, where to go?"

The aunt stepped forward and patted the falling snow on her husband's shoulder, with a puzzled look.

I saw this eldest brother slowly take off his hat, close his eyes, and sigh. From the cupboard, he pulled out an animal skin coat and threw it in front of Hatsuxing. He didn't think that he would save a person, and it would be a disaster. He only hopes now that those people will not be too difficult to entangle.

"Girl, if you don't leave, the wave of people under the mountain, within an hour, will definitely find here. When the time comes, I'm a little mountain watcher, but I can't save you. ”

Suddenly realized, Chu Xing pursed her lower lip, thinking that the wave of people must have been sent by Sister Yan to find her, no, it is also possible that she has already told Chu Xian, in short, it seems that this place cannot stay for a long time.

She hurriedly picked up the animal skin coat on the ground, with tears in her eyes, grabbed the package, and was about to run out.

"Girl, girl, wear these shoes, warm your feet, and bring these cakes to eat on the road. ”

Looking at the snow outside, the sky was still snowing, although the aunt didn't know what was going on, but seeing her husband so dignified, she also knew that she didn't say anything anymore, just stopped Chuxing and stuffed it into her arms

Bring in a few sesame flatbreads, and then tell her to change into a pair of animal leather shoes.

Then I watched as the First Star stumbled towards the lower path they had guided.

Less than half an hour after Chu Xing left, a group of guards with knives came from outside the wooden house.

"Bang bang bang. ”

The door was slammed by the guard, and the aunt looked at her husband hesitantly, and when she saw her husband nodding, she slowly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened a crack, the guard rudely rushed in, and the aunt was squeezed by the door, choked her throat, lowered her head, and hugged Zi'an tightly. Looking at the small house that he had seen at a glance, he frowned.

"You're the Mountain Keeper?" The guard asked, looking at the hunting tools on the wall.

"Exactly. The uncle was calm, glanced at the group of people in front of him, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

"In the past few days, have you seen a hunchbacked ugly monster, or is it a thin woman?"

"Nope. ”

The guard strode forward, squinting at the cups on the ondol that had not yet been folded. I saw an empty bowl next to the quilt again, and I was puzzled.

"If you don't want to, just say no??"

The guard picked it up and rummaged through the quilt, and looked at the futon, which seemed to have a little trace of red rouge.

"In this deep winter season, not to mention people, even animals are rarely seen. If so, you will naturally remember. If you don't remember, you just don't have it. My house is so big, if you look at it, you can get out of trouble. My boy was weak, and it was bitterly cold outside the door, and he could not stand the door open. ”

The eldest brother watched the guard leader rummaging through the quilt, and was very unhappy in his heart, so he stepped forward, took the quilt, and shook it. Squeeze out a kind smile.

"I didn't expect my aunt to love beauty in the mountains, and she still painted rouge?"

The guard leader listened to this eviction order, smiled, let go of the hand holding the quilt, glanced at the aunt without makeup, and snorted coldly.

The aunt shook her body and tilted her head.

"Big brother, don't talk nonsense, my aunt never wears rouge. Daddy said that A-Niang is the most beautiful without makeup. ”

Zi'an was puzzled, glanced at A-Niang's face, and shouted.

The aunt on the side who was so anxious instantly covered Zi'an's mouth. and the uncle looked at each other. I couldn't breathe anymore because I was so nervous.

"The child is not sensible and does not know what rouge is not rouge. I do it occasionally. ”

She did her best to keep her voice steady, glancing at the red marks on the quilt. My heart is empty.

"Oh, I look at the color of this rouge is very beautiful, I want to buy some for the wife at home, I wonder if my aunt can show me?"

"A few, when do you want to entangle, I'm so big, the person you're looking for, we really haven't seen it. ”

Seeing that the leader was not so easy to handle, the uncle walked up to the aunt, protected his wife and children behind him, and scolded.

"Well, not necessarily. ”

I saw that the leader glanced outside the door, and the group of people rushed in and surrounded the family in the center.

I had never seen such a battle, and Zi'an was afraid to get into her aunt's arms.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" The uncle held the machete in his hand, looked around, and worriedly, may the mountain god bless him.
