"Wow! What a beautiful glacial lake. ”

As soon as I stepped out of the burial peak, I was greeted by a frozen lake, and the blue waves of the past became a large mirror, smooth and transparent.

The ice surface is cracked into beautiful fine textures, but it is not broken, and the mirror surface can show the shadow of a person.

There are still a few small birds that are not afraid of ice and snow on the edge of the lake, with white necks and black down feathers, which are small and new.

Xie Xiaohuan couldn't help but be attracted by this, and strode to amuse her.

"Ahh

I never thought that the soles of my feet slipped, and the posture of the fall was indescribable.

Taoguo, who was following behind, seemed to feel the same way, and quickly stepped forward to help.

Xu was tired and weak, so he used super strength to help her up.

While gently rubbing Xie Xiaohuan's arms, shoulders, and thighs, he said kindly: "Miss, this is a snow day, and the road is slippery, so be careful." ”

I don't know this truth, this is nothing more than the truth that people have stumbled.

Outside in this snowy day for a long time, even though the clothes were thick, they still couldn't withstand the cold breath, their cheeks were red from the cold, and their clothes were already wet.

When night fell, out of Xiaoshan, it was like walking out of hell Yes, the whole person was relaxed and happy.

Later, I found some dry branches and wood nearby and made a fire, which was finally warmer, and at the same time I felt sleepy.

The master and servant sat on the stump of the tree, snuggled back to back and fell asleep.

Until midnight, when the firewood burned out, the cold wind had nowhere to stop, waking them up from their sleep.

How can the bones of ordinary people's bodies withstand the rendering of the cold air, and they shivered a few times, sneezed, and the cold air has already entered the body.

"Miss, how do I feel uncomfortable?"

"Me too, I guess I was frozen all night, I caught a cold, cough cough..."

"Cold? What is a cold? ”

"Oh, cold... Ahem... That's what you mean by calling it wind chill. ”

"Ache... I see! So, what do we do? ”

"Do you remember asking Fei Yi for the cold pill in the pear orchard? I think it works, so I'll put it in your baggage. ”

Pale and weak, and his tone was also very low, Taoguo turned over the baggage, but no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find the said cold pill.

Even the baggage Xie Xiaohuan was carrying was carefully rummaged, and he didn't even see the shadow of a pill.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I forgot to put it in."

The corners of Taoguo's mouth bent down slightly, with a sad and guilty look, remembering that she had left out a cloth bag when she was packing her luggage, which contained the Cold Pill.

Xu knew the origin of Xie Xiaohuan at that time, and the whereabouts of his master were unknown, so he was sad and negligent for a while.

Xie Xiaohuan didn't know, straightened the broken hair of Taoguo's sideburns, and said kindly: "It's okay, it's all out anyway, let's go look and see if there are any farms nearby to rest." ”

"Uh-huh."

The master and servant supported each other and left along the edge of the ice lake with heavy steps.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind was biting, and the snow had covered the road, so I could only follow the marks left behind.

The pace was very slow, and after walking for about an hour, the endless sky was gradually fading into twilight.

From a distance, an oversized object protrudes from the snow, and it slowly moves closer to it, and when you look closely, it is actually a long-awaited farmhouse.

Xie Xiaohuan and Taoguo looked at each other, and they all showed joy.

I quickened my pace, and in a short time I was outside the farmhouse.

The earthen wall has long since turned white after baptism, and the willow tree in front of the courtyard gate is still so vibrant and fearless despite being swallowed by ice and snow.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door.

The oil lamp in the room came on, and with a "creak" came out of the side room, an old man with silver hair.

Dressed in a patched coat, holding a lamp in his hand in front of his forehead, his whole face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were squinted as if he were slit, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see clearly if he was not careful.

"Who?"

The old voice fell, and the lights in the main room also lit up.

"Ahem......"

I only heard Xie Xiaohuan, and the peach fruit was accompanied by a light coughing sound, so weak that he had no energy to respond, so he had to knock on the courtyard door from heavy to light.

After a while, heavy footsteps could be heard slowly approaching.

With a few clicks, the deadbolt was opened.

When the old man saw the two girls slumped in front of the door, he was really startled, took a few steps back, and shook his body a few times.

Immediately after, a middle-aged and sturdy man came behind him and helped him up.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man's strong voice asked.

Xie Xiaohuan bracked his body, raised his head and looked at them, and could see the woman hiding at the door of the house behind them.

It doesn't seem to be very welcoming to their arrival.

Xie Xiaohuan's voice became a little hoarse, and he fell softly.

"Hello, excuse me, we've been in a hurry for too long and we've suffered from the wind and cold, can you let us rest and rest and cultivate our overall strength ......."

"No, no, you still have to go to Muxi, there is a doctor there to rectify."

Xie Xiaohuan's words were not finished, and when he heard the word wind and cold, the middle-aged man immediately dropped a sentence and closed the courtyard door tightly.

"Maybe it's the plague."

"yes, yes, it doesn't seem like it's wrong."

"It's better to ignore it, so as not to get infected."

“……”

The family muttered and went back to the house.

"How can this man do this?"

was turned away, Xie Xiaohuan was really aggrieved, and even complained about the unkindness of the peasant family.

Even though I knew the importance of this matter, I still thought that someone could really help.

Seeing that Taoguo was groggy, it was already the limit to go here, and he kept muttering and blaming himself.

"Miss... It's all my fault that I don't ....... ”

Xie Xiaohuan stared at the sky, and looked around again, except for this farmhouse, there was no other place to stay nearby.

Let go of the proud heart in my heart, and the knock on the door sounded again.

At first, the people in the courtyard didn't pay attention to it at all.

However, the knocking on the door kept coming, and the palms of my hands were already red and swollen.

Xu was being argued all the time, and the sky gradually brightened, and the middle-aged man couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out.

There was anger on his face, but when he saw the ten taels of silver in Xie Xiaohuan's hand, which was enough for a flat-headed person to use for a year or two, his eyes suddenly became glowing.

"Don't worry, we're really just cold, and we haven't had a good rest in the past two days, so we have this appearance.

I don't want anything else, just two bedding, a pot of boiled ginger water, and two bowls of porridge. ”

When the words fell, the middle-aged man was still a little afraid and did not respond for a long time.

At this time, Xie Xiaohuan took out a few taels of silver from his waist, threw them into the man, and fell lightly.

"If you're worried, just pick it up with a clean handkerchief and wipe it clean to use with confidence."

Seeing that the white silver was in front of him, the middle-aged man immediately turned around and returned to the house, and after a while, he walked out with two quilts.

"Here, the rest of the food, I'll have to wait a while, Uchiko has already done it."

Before Xie Xiaohuan took it, he was already thrown away.
