Chapter 55: The Fish and the Beast?

The blazing fish stared at the door in front of him in a daze. If that's a "door".

The thing was so broken that it could be seen directly inside the house, and the cold wind and snow blew and poured straight into the house.

"Can there still be people living here?" Blazing Fish cupped his forehead. She didn't expect that after a hard journey for half a month, she finally found a popular place, and this town was simply broken. Although at this time, she herself was dressed in rags, and she was no different from her name Hanako.

She stared intently at the broken door, but it snapped open. The blazing fish was startled.

Out of the door came a hunched old woman, carrying a tattered barrel, staring strangely at the blazing fish, and heading straight into the alley. The blazing fish in front of the door turned his head away in embarrassment.

Half a month ago......

The blazing fish came to his senses in a daze, and in the deserted ice and snow, he didn't know who tied him up. A strip of rag wrapped her eyes tightly and it was pitch black.

Fortunately, the blazing fish has the ability to perceive, and although it is blindfolded, it can still feel all kinds of "breath" around it, as if it can "see". She barely raised her head and "looked" around: an empty wilderness, bitterly chilly, without the slightest breath of the living.

In the snow, in the distance, a humanoid figure walked over. The man was dressed in dark blue spiritual power, and slowly approached.

He stopped in front of the Blazing Fish and stared at her. For some reason, the blazing fish also "stared" at him like this. The two confronted each other for a long time, and the man finally sighed lightly: "They have sent sacrifices again." ”

"Sacrifices?" Blazing Fish didn't understand, for fear that he would turn around and leave again, so he hurriedly shouted, "Can you let me go?" ”

Without further ado, he crouched down and began to untie the rope of the blazing fish.

"Thank you." The blazing fish sat up and reached for the cloth strap that was tied to his eyes.

"Wait!" The man grabbed her, looking very agitated.

"What's wrong?" The blazing fish was puzzled.

"I was born ugly and didn't want to see people. I'll untie it later. I'll take you away. The man said, his deep voice a little embarrassed.

Although the blazing fish was curious, he still nodded: "Okay." ”

The man helped her up, and the arm was warm and strong, and the blazing fish couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?" Who are you? ”

"Hidden snowfield, the most inhospitable place. I'm just a criminal who has been exiled here. There was some bitterness in the man's voice.

"Criminals?" Blazing Fish repeated in a low voice.

The man felt the Blazing Fish's hand tremble slightly, and knew that she was a little afraid of herself, so he hurriedly let go of her: "I'm sorry, I won't hurt you." He tugged at the Blazing Fish's sleeve and got up and pulled her away.

The blazing fish looked at the spiritual power around him, and the dark blue was blazing, powerful but gentle, without the slightest murderous aura. His spiritual power was cold and eroded his bones, but the blazing fish could feel a trace of warmth, like a spring breeze on the snowfield.

The man led the blazing fish for a while and stopped. He said slowly: "Go out further, you keep going south, there will be towns there. With that, he turned and walked back.

"Who are you? Thank you for saving me. The blazing fish stopped him.

The man seemed to laugh: "You don't have to know, we won't see you again in the future anyway." ”

Blazing Fish watched as the dark blue spiritual power on his body became farther and farther away from her, and she took off the cloth belt from her eyes.

It was a barren field, the snow and ice had not melted, the cold wind blew, and the blazing fish shivered.

"Hidden snowfield?" The blazing fish repeated in a low voice.

The blazing fish looked at the white sky and involuntarily tightened his clothes.

The blazing fish walked for days in the deserted wilderness before they came across a grove.

It seems to be a little warmer here, and there is no snow or ice anymore. In the cold land, the shrubs are only left with withered branches and leaves, which are laid out in front of them. It's not an easy road.

"It's weird, since there's no road here, how did I get here?" The blazing fish muttered to himself, finding a solid branch and brushing away the dead branch in front of him as he went.

As it darkened, Blazingfish sighed as she looked at the grey sky, and looked down at her hand, which had been scratched and scarred by the branches of the bushes. The spiritual power in her hand gathered slightly, and the dark blue ghost flickered: "I've been staying with Qianshi for a long time, it seems that he is not here, I can also summon the bone demon..."

The bushes are getting denser and the road is getting harder and harder to walk. The exhausted blazing fish was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, and suddenly felt a black shadow flicker in front of him, and he was instantly frightened to wake up. When I looked closely, it was just a bird flying by.

In just a moment, there were more and more black shadows in front of him, and the blazing fish was startled and looked towards the place where the birds had flown to. In the distance, I saw a clearing deep in the bushes, and a figure was sitting on a dead branch at the edge of the clearing.

The man was very slender, wearing a black cloak, which was not too long, showing from the knee down, and his bare feet dangling. Her feet were white and clean, and she was very delicate, obviously a girl. The cape's hat hid her face low, making it impossible to see her clearly. The dead branches beside her were full of the birds, making a cold sound. The blazing fish got closer, and it became clear that it was a flock of owls, dozens of pairs of eyes staring at the blazing fish in a stunned state.

The girl chuckled, and in her hand she held a delicate porcelain cup, gracefully picked it up and took a sip. Blazing Fish only faintly saw her cherry-red lips, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, as if enjoying the taste of this hot tea.

"Little sister, do you want tea?" She licked her lips and chuckled.

The smell of blazing fish was familiar, but it wasn't hot tea, it was warm...... The blazing fish vest was cold.

She shook her head and didn't think about it anymore, but in the blink of an eye, the owl in front of her disappeared, and so did the girl.

The little clearing among the bushes was empty, and there was no sound except the sound of the wind blowing through the bushes, as if there had never been a living thing here.

Am I dazzled by hunger? The blazing fish only lowered its head, but heard its stomach cry out and touched its shriveled belly.

It was already half a month later when the blazing fish walked out of the snowfield.

The sky was dark, and in the morning light, she unconsciously glanced back, the vast snowfield, indescribably desolate.

The blazing fish was in a daze, and a figure came out of the alley, carrying a bucket of something, it was the mother-in-law who had come out of the broken door earlier.

She glanced at the blazing fish shivering in the corner of the wall, and sure enough, she walked over to her.

"Girl, don't you have a place to live?" The old woman's wrinkled face was full of expressions.
