The snow on the cliffs is uneven, and the deep places are so deep that if you step into them, you will feel like you have fallen into a pit, and the shallow places are usually protruding, but there is a layer of ice underneath.

Yue'er remembered Qin Bumei's warning, and she was careful with every step, for fear that if she fell into the valley or stuck in a crack carefully, she was already lucky once, and she was afraid that she would not be so lucky if she fell again.

There was a sound of yo yo ahead, it was the sound of a deer.

Yue'er moved forward cautiously, and sure enough, there was another world behind this cliff, and the negative person said that this was a paradise, and it seemed that it was right, the thirteen princesses should live in seclusion here.

When they reached the side of the cliff, a long and narrow canyon appeared in front of them.

Outside, it was icy and snowy, and there was a verdant area in this canyon, although there was also snow, but only near the canyon to the south, and the valley was covered with a layer of light mist, and there were forests and lakes, and it was peaceful.

It turns out that the terrain of this canyon is several zhang higher than the south side, and the cold air in the north is just blocked, and even the snowflakes only fall on the south side of the canyon, and the bottom is relatively closed, just like a well, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the lake below is flooded with clear waves, and it is not frozen.

Yue'er was on the south side of the canyon, and while she was amazed by the strange scene, she cautiously came to the edge of the cliff and called out to the thirteen princesses below.

It was quiet below, and there was no response.

Looking down, Yue'er shook her head, this side is also very steep, the height is slightly higher than the place where she climbed up, although it is going down the mountain, but it will take half a day to go down, when she climbed up just now, Yue'er has exhausted her strength, and she is very tired at the moment, she touched her waist and found that the bag containing dry food was worn out, and her last two pieces of dry food fell out at some point.

The cliff was full of snow, and Yue'er didn't dare to rest in such a place, she smiled bitterly, took out her flying claws and stuck them in the gaps and climbed down.

It is very difficult to climb down from here, because it is almost impossible to find a place to stay all the way down, Yue'er can only use her claws and fingers together, she buckles into the crack of the stone, so that she can climb down little by little, and there is ice and snow in this crack in the stone, she climbed down about three or four feet, her fingers are frozen, and they are all bleeding.

Yue'er was a little desperate, she was almost out of strength at the moment, look below, there was still a distance of three or four zhang, she gritted her teeth, buckled the flying claws into a stone crack, and then slipped down the rope, and when she reached the end of the rope, the surroundings were smooth.

There is still a distance of two zhang from the bottom of the valley, and it is clearly distinguishable below, Yue'er saw a section of snow under her, but it seems that the snow is not thick, and she may fall if she jumps down, and there are a few pine trees on the other side, with lush branches and leaves, if you jump over, there will be a buffer, which side will you jump from?

While they were struggling, suddenly a few baby cries floated in the canyon.

The cry was not loud, but it was clear in the quiet valley, as if a baby had just been born.

Yue'er was shocked, could it be that the thirteenth princess was giving birth at this time, whose child was she pregnant? As soon as she thought so, her hand suddenly slipped, and her body fell straight down.

"Oops-"

As soon as she let out an exclamation, she heard a pop, and Yue'er's body was plunged into a cloud of snow.

Yue'er's heart beat for a while, feeling as if she had fallen on a cold quilt, she struggled to climb out, and found that along the south side of the canyon, there was a thick layer of snow, but she couldn't see it clearly, she jokingly laughed at herself: "I knew I jumped down earlier, why use all my strength!" ”

The baby's cry floated a few more times, as if it wasn't quite right.

Yue'er was startled, and hurriedly followed the cry to the woods.

The canyon is quite large, and listening to the cry is like being on the other side.

Walking through the woods, opposite a mountain wall, Yue'er was looking for where the cry came from, and suddenly found two pairs of strange eyes looking at her on the other side, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw two fawns looking at her in panic not far away.

"Hey, where is the thirteenth princess?"

Yue'er asked as she walked towards the fawn.

When the two fawns saw the stranger, they turned and ran into the woods and disappeared.

Yue'er saw that the place where the deer was standing just now was a cave, but the entrance of the cave was blocked by branches and grass curtains, and she didn't notice it.

"Thirteen princesses, princesses—"

Yue'er called inside a few times, but there was no response in the cave, and she didn't care much at this time, so she opened the straw curtain and walked in.

The cave is warm, but a pungent smell hits the face, making people feel slightly disgusting.

Yue'er was stunned, she was familiar with the smell, this was the smell of burning charcoal, obviously someone was burning a fire in it to keep warm.

"Could it be that the people inside are charcoal poisoning?"

Thinking of this, Yue'er was startled, she knew that if this situation was treated a little later, the people inside would die, she didn't have time to enter the cave, so she first tore open all the branches and grass curtains at the entrance of the cave.

There was another whining sound from the baby, it seemed that the child was very uncomfortable, as if he was suffocating, and Yue'er hurriedly walked in.

The cave is spacious, Yue'er went in and turned a corner, and saw a big bed made of tree branches, there was a person lying on the bed, she couldn't see the appearance clearly, only saw her legs exposed, a pool of blood on the ground, and in the blood lay a strong baby, her hands and feet were still trembling slightly.

Yue'er was taken aback and hurriedly ran over to pick up the baby.

The baby was a girl who had just been born, her eyes had not yet opened, her face was wrinkled, and an umbilical cord on her stomach was still attached to the bed.

Yue'er looked at the bed and saw a woman lying on the bed, she was biting a piece of wood in her mouth, her hair was scattered, her forehead was full of beads of sweat, and her legs were spread out.

There was a charcoal fire burning next to the bed, and hot water, but the charcoal fire was about to go out, and the unpleasant smell in the cave came from here, Yue'er hurriedly put the baby next to the woman, removed the hot water, picked up the pot of charcoal and walked out.

The woman in this canyon is none other than the thirteenth princess Xiao Ricuo.

The thirteenth princess was pregnant, she was pregnant in October and gave birth, she was very well prepared, she was sure that she would give birth to the child alone, but she didn't expect the fetus to be too big, and when she was born, she tried her best to give birth, and finally gave birth to be unable to move, and she didn't have the strength to get up and move the brazier out, and the charcoal fire was poisoned.

Fortunately, Yue'er came not early or late, and came at the moment when she gave birth to her child.

Yue'er walked back to the cave, touched the thirteen princesses and the baby's heartbeat, hurriedly dragged their big bed to the hole, and pressed her chest, to Yue'er's shock, the thirteen princesses had a scar on their heart, although the scar is not big, but this is a fatal point, if it is one point deeper or one point, she may be dead!

After a while, the woman on the bed moaned, Yue'er saw her face clearly, only to see that this woman was really the thirteenth princess, but she was completely different from before, her face was pale, her lips lost blood, as if she was more than ten years old, Yue'er's heart was sour, and she asked secretly: "Princess, she is so haggard, will the negative person dislike it again?" ”

Then the baby woke up and whimpered twice.
