Chapter 105: Looking Up at the Starry Firmament

When Zhang Xiaoluo accompanied Fan Di to march in the vast sea of snow, there were groups of snow wolf cavalry in the Ice and Snow City coming out of the four gates of the Ice and Snow City, not caring at all about the raging blizzard outside the city, and scattered towards the seventy-two towns under the jurisdiction of the Ice and Snow City.

And at this moment, in the sky above the Ice and Snow City, which was filled with snow, there seemed to be a woman who was transformed from the dancing snow. The woman only showed her graceful upper body, a layer of cyan ice was draped over her shoulders like a light veil, and pieces of snow falling from the sky lingered around her, like gentle care.

The woman's body was huge, and half of her body was almost the size of the majestic temple in the Ice and Snow City. She was frowning slightly, looking down for something in the ice and snow city.

"Hey, where's that? Could it be that he is not a citizen of Ice and Snow City, but a person from a small town under his jurisdiction? No wonder there is such a comforting statement......"

The woman finally withdrew her searching gaze, and after a little thought, the huge figure turned into countless thin snow chips and disappeared into the cold wind.

Fandi has come to Ice and Snow City to pay tribute many times, and he is extremely familiar with the tribute payment process, but he still can't help but feel a sense of panic in his heart. He remembered what his Haiwa had told him, and quietly turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaoluo, who had a calm face behind him, and felt a little relieved.

After the white-robed priest had inspected it, he instructed the temple servants to go to the storage place and bring back the tribute paid by Vandi. The priest, who was covered by a white robe with most of his face, finally looked up at Fan Di, who was standing respectfully, and then glanced at Zhang Xiaoluo behind Fan Di.

"Thank you for the gift of God Jima! The messenger of God, this is a barbarian slave in Xiaomin's family, because Xiaomin was infected with wind and cold last time and his body was weak, so he came to help. May the glory of God Jima shine on every one of the people of the snowy lands! ”

Fandi hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully explained.

The white-robed priest seemed to be accustomed to the phenomenon of a weak body like Fan Di, who came with barbarian slaves, and his eyes swept Fan Di's haggard face again, and turned around and walked towards the temple.

"The god of Gemma will bestow upon every one of the people of the snowy lands who devout her to serve her. Come with me, and bathe in the glory of God Jima once again, and drive out the sickness within you. ”

Fandi hurriedly bowed his head and followed the white-robed priest towards the temple. Zhang Xiaoluo, who was behind him, suddenly raised his head at this time, raised his right hand slightly, and a black worm flew out in an instant and burrowed into Fandi's body.

After Fan Di's figure disappeared into the temple, Zhang Xiaoluo slowly turned around, found a slightly drier place on the street near the entrance of the temple, sat down lazily, closed his eyes and waited.

He seemed to feel a figure slowly appear in front of him, and the figure slowly approached, and finally stopped in front of him.

Zhang Xiaoluo opened his eyes and found that there was a broken old bowl stretched out in front of him, and most of the snow chips had fallen in the bowl, and the small copper coins at the bottom of the bowl were faintly visible.

Holding the old bowl was a stooping old woman, wrapped in patches of tattered animal skins, which covered most of her body, and her bare calves covered with patches of blue-black chilblains.

The old woman wore a tattered sandal sandal, which was noticeably much smaller, and the other was bare. Due to the high base of the clogs, the old woman's whole body was slightly tilted towards the side of her bare feet.

Zhang Xiaoluo looked up at the old woman, and saw a numb face of vicissitudes through the messy gray hair that had long been frozen into strands of ice chips

Dry eyes with a faint look of anticipation.

Zhang Xiaoluo looked at the copper coins at the bottom of the bowl again, and seemed to understand something.

He slowly took out a silver coin from his bosom, and his face showed reluctance. In the end, Zhang Xiaoluo put the silver coin into the old woman's broken bowl that had been stretching out, and then took out a few small copper coins in the bowl and carefully put them into his arms......

One silver coin can be exchanged for ten copper coins, and Zhang Xiaoluo is not so generous.

It was past noon, and Van Di's figure finally reappeared at the door of the temple. He was obviously in a good mood, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoluo lying down from a distance, he walked forward with a big smile.

"Xiao Luo, I have bathed in the gift of God Jima again, I already feel that I am not far from physical recovery, thank you God Jima! I'll take you around the Ice and Snow City these days, although it's not a market day, it's also extremely lively! ”

When Van Hai explained everything to his father, Van Hai's family no longer regarded Zhang Xiaoluo as a slave. Only Miji, who is not yet sensible, occasionally shouts "barbarian slave".

Zhang Xiaoluo chuckled.

Fan Di has been bedridden for many days, and it is rare to have this opportunity, and he will definitely be delayed in the Ice and Snow City for a few days, and Fan Hai has already made this matter clear to Zhang Xiaoluo. Zhang Xiaoluo thought that since Fan Di could come out of the temple unharmed, the killing and robbery that had plagued the Fan family for many days would no longer exist, and with Fan Hai taking care of him at home, it would not hurt for him to stay in the Ice and Snow City for a few days.

However, Zhang Xiaoluo regretted that the ice platform where he earned silver coins when he came last time was already empty, and the ice platform had been covered with thick snow.

Fortunately, the old woman who set up a stall selling straw sandals was still there. In Fandi's surprised gaze, Zhang Xiaoluo actually took out three small copper coins from his arms and placed them on the ice platform in front of the old woman.

"Mother-in-law, Zhang Xiaolott came to thank you for her kindness, why didn't the old man who weaved straw sandals come?"

Zhang Xiaoluo looked at the ground behind the old woman covered with a thin layer of snow, and asked softly to the old woman sitting behind the stall.

"The old man who weaves straw sandals? My straw sandals were made by my son, and my blind wife has been dead for many years......"

The old woman looked at the young man in front of her, replied in confusion, and then lowered her head to wipe away the snow that had fallen from the straw sandals again.

Zhang Xiaoluo's body was shocked, and he was silent for a long time, and finally took out the only remaining copper coin from his arms again, put it among the other three copper coins, and then bent down to bow down to the snow where the blind old man used to squat.

"Four copper coins, all of them have been Xiao Luo, thank you for the grace of Mr. Xie!"

The old man was by no means a ghost, and there was no ghost in him.

Zhang Xiaoluo is extremely sure of this.

Fan Hai seems to be in a blur these days, and there is always a vague female figure whispering to him in his mind. He helped his grandmother pack up the finished offerings, put his sister Miji to sleep, and carefully sealed the dung charcoal in his igloos before returning to his igloo to lie down.

"Van Hale ......"

Outside the house, the call of the cold wind sounded, as if faintly mixed with the call to Fanhai, and entered the igloo.

Van Hai turned over and put the animal skin on his head to fall asleep as soon as possible, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't sleep.

The cold wind outside the house blew even more fiercely, and the thick curtain at the door to protect against the wind and snow was blown up by the cold wind from time to time, and fell heavily. From time to time, brass bells around the curtain rang out

A jumble of "clanging" sounds.

"Van Hale ......"

The call was heard again.

Van Hai jerked over and sat up, listening quietly in the dark room.

There was no sound except for the cold wind outside the house mixed with the cries of large snowflakes, the muffled "thump" sound of the door curtain hitting the ice wall, the chaotic sound of copper bells, and the subtle "crackling" sound of the sealed dung in the house from time to time.

Van Hai laughed to himself, shook his head, and lay down again. He couldn't help but think of Abba who went to Ice and Snow City, Zhang Xiaoluo who walked with Abba and Abba City, the temple of Ice and Snow City, and the Snow Jade Tower in Ice and Snow City......

"Van Hale ......"

An extremely clear woman's soft call came from outside the house, and Van Hai sat up again, thought for a moment, put on his sandals, reached out and took the beast jacket next to him, got up and walked out of the door.

At the end of the path where large snowflakes fell, Van Hai saw a young woman in a green robe. The woman's face had a faint look of sorrow, and when she saw Van Hai go out, the sorrow was gone, revealing a bright smile.

"Fanhai, have you come to see the star dome with me? I thought you weren't paying attention to me anymore......"

The woman's words came out, and Van Hai slowly walked towards the place where the woman was standing. As Fanhai moved forward, the cold wind and flying snowflakes in front of him gradually calmed down.

Fan Hai and the woman in green clothes sat side by side on the high snow ridge at the edge of the town, looking up at the dark blue star dome together.

The star dome is dark, and there is not half a star.

"So you live here! Fanhai, let me find it, I thought you were deliberately avoiding me. I don't come here very often, and the little ones here don't seem to be very obedient, so ...... We may not be able to see the star dome this time. ”

The woman in Tsing Yi named Yan Xue looked up at the canopy covered by wind and snow, waved her hand from time to time to wipe away the snowflakes that seemed to be naughty and jumping in front of her eyes, and said with a little sadness.

"Yan Xue, you came here from Ice and Snow City just to look up at the star dome with me?"

Fan Hai seemed to remember the night when the ice and snow city looked up at the starry dome, and retracted his gaze to look at the melancholy and gentle woman beside him.

"Hmmm! In the past, when Grandma was still there, I liked to snuggle up to Grandma and look up at the star dome with Grandma, the star dome was so beautiful at that time! But since Grandma left, the star dome in our snowy region is not so beautiful, and there is no one to watch the star dome with me anymore. You are the only person who accompanies Yanxue to watch the starry dome except for Grandma, and Yanxue likes the feeling of having you by her side......"

The woman in Tsing Yi said, and there were tears in her eyes as clear as ice crystals, but before the tears flowed, they had turned into transparent ice beads, condensing on the pretty face that was as shiny as an ice sculpture.

Looking at the weeping woman in front of her, Fan Hai's budding heart melted. He looked into the woman's eyes, looked at the vast snowy area, and made a vow that he would remember for the rest of his life.

"If you like, I will always be with you until the day when you see the most beautiful star dome again!"

The woman in Tsing Yi smiled happily, she lowered her head, and her cold lips gently kissed Fan Hai.

After a long time, the woman in Tsing Yi snuggled into Fan Hai's arms, quietly feeling the intoxicating chest of this snowy boy. The snow around seemed to have stopped, and even the cold wind that perennially filled the entire snowy area disappeared without a trace.
