11. The ice also melts
?
The night is like ink, and the snow is like a flower.
The two people standing on the shore of the lake, the young man is clear and innocent, and the young 'girl' is beautiful and graceful, just like the scenery in this ink painting, which is exceptionally quiet.
Ruan Zhishui got off her back unhurriedly, really like an offering to the Bodhisattva Ancestor.
When he came down, he naturally let go of the ice blade on Xinhu's neck, and the 'female' man breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that his 'legs' were as soft as two lumps of mud, and he wanted to melt into the ground.
"You, jump into the lake." A voice came from beside him, a commanding 'kiss'.
Miscellaneous...... What the?!! Xinhu slammed his ass to the ground, his eyes widened with a hellish expression.
"Jump into the lake, don't you understand?"
"No...... Don't be so cruel...... I don't want to die, uncle...... When I die, there will be no one to take care of your old man...... Woo woo woo ...... "Xinhu hugged the young man's bare 'legs' tightly, crying so much that he had a handful of snot and tears.
"Who said you died?" Ruan Zhishui raised his eyebrows, looking at her with extreme impatience and disgust.
Apparently neither of them realized how incongruous the dialogue and the picture were.
"Aren't you trying to drown me?" Xinhu was stunned and paused.
"There's a secret room at the bottom of this lake, and I asked you to jump into it so you could swim into it to get something for me."
"Huh?" Heartlake was surprised.
Ruan Zhishui irritably picked up the Heart Lake, and said with his hand to a place in the middle of the lake.
"See where there's a glimmer of light?"
After becoming a teenager, he seems to be far less patient than before.
"See." Heartlake nodded dumbly.
"Swim over, then dive into the water, and follow the light to find the secret room, which has a 'jade' stone box inside, take it out for me."
"Forehead......" Xinhu's expression was very hesitant and did not reply.
Jumping into the ice lake on a cold day, she will freeze to death!!
"What's wrong?"
"I ...... I don't know water 'sex'. Xinhu's face was flushed, and his voice was as small as a mosquito fly.
Ruan Zhishui: ......
"I grew up in the mountains, and I didn't have a chance." Xinhu hurriedly defended, his heel quietly moving back, ready to flee at any time.
Ruan Zhishui sighed lightly.
"Close your eyes."
"What are you going to do?" Heartlake's eyes are vigilant.
"Do you want me to jump into the water with this?"
"Oh." Xinhu had an epiphany, quickly closed his eyes, and remained motionless.
"Once I come up and find that you are not there, I will dig three feet into the ground, and I will dig you out and bury you."
A cold wind blew, and a vicious word came from the ears of the 'female' man, followed by the sound of falling into the water.
Xinhu hurriedly opened his eyes, how could there be any trace of Ruan Zhishui, and the lake was calm, without any ripples.
At this time, Xinhu is faced with a difficult choice, should she take the opportunity to escape and pinch it, or obediently wait for Ruan Zhishui to come back?
Nonsense...... At this time, if you don't go, when to wait, Xinhu did not hesitate to choose to pull out the 'legs' and run.
However, as soon as she lifted her 'legs', her ankles became entangled in the veil.
Looking back...... The cold young man in the veil tore a gorgeous smile at her.
The light amber 'colored' eyes, the eyes 'waves' flow, the water is enchanting, hiding seven points of coldness and three points of banter.
"You're really looking for death." The voice is elegant and pleasant, but it is as terrifying as if it came from hell.
As soon as this sentence fell, the 'female' hero of Xinhu threw herself to the ground with a pop, fell to the soles of Ruan Zhishui's feet, and cried with a wow.
"I ...... I didn't want to run...... I just feel like my legs are numb from the cold...... Activities......"
"You go down with me." The cold tone is not to be resisted.
"I don't know the 'sex' of water......"
"It's okay."
Before Xinhu could react, as soon as the veil on her ankle was retracted, she was dragged into the lake.
Grunt...... 'female' man entered the water one by one, and was so stabbed that she poured a few mouthfuls of water, and her 'chest' cavity seemed to explode, with a strong sense of near-death suffocation.
Suddenly, the person was pushed out of the water, and a heavy force slapped her on the back.
Xinhu's head surfaced, and he was finally able to breathe, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and coughed violently, and his lungs that were about to open suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Before she could take a few more breaths of air, the person had already been dragged into the water and dragged into the middle of the lake.
This time, she learned wisely, and immediately held her breath and stopped choking on water.
Unexpectedly, after entering the lake, it was far warmer than imagined to be surrounded by the lake, but her clothes were wet!! This soul is faint! …… Xinhu has been tossed and has lost his temper.
Before I knew it, I had swam to the middle of the lake, and my heart lake's ankles were locked and couldn't move, and Ruan Zhishui had already dived down.
Lying on the surface of the lake and taking a big breath, Xinhu felt like a kite being flown by someone, eh......
It didn't take long for a person to suddenly appear on the surface of the water beside him.
"Alright." He said.
Xinhu, who was still trapped in his own thoughts, was suddenly startled, turned his head to look, and was so shocked by the shocking 'beauty' scene of this hibiscus coming out of the water that he couldn't speak.
The shimmer reflects the 'shooting', soft and clear.
His snow-white face was still stained with fresh droplets, and his black hair was scattered on his shoulders and face like ink, dripping and faintly shining, and his skin was as transparent as if it were unreal.
As if noticing her stunned, Ruan Zhishui squinted his eyes slightly and pinched her face.
"What a daze, hold this!"
With a pain on his face, Xinhu suddenly sobered up, lowered his head, and was stuffed into a cool 'jade' stone box in his arms.
There was another swish, and the man was already being dragged ashore to the shore.
It took a lot of effort, the heart lake climbed on the edge of the lake, but the body was so heavy, every time I climbed up, I felt that I was dragged back in reverse. Helplessly, Xinhu took off the fox fur he was wearing on his body, and it was so wet and heavy...... She had no choice but to untie it and throw it aside.
When she came ashore, the wind blew, and she felt the cold rushing through every inch of her bones like a needle, and she bent her knees and clumped herself together, shivering like a sieve.
Although she has a bit of internal strength, it is definitely not enough to resist such harsh climatic conditions, and the clothes on her body are soaked, blown by the cold wind, and quickly freeze hard, like an ice shell wrapped around her body.
It's all this guy's fault!!
Xinhu hangs his face, but his eyes are about to spew fire, ah!! She sneezed super invincibility.
I really want to break this guy's body into pieces and feed Xiaobai. Snow wolf Xiaobai shook his 'hair' majestically: People are not trash cans, woo......
Sneeze!! Sneeze!! Another twin cannon came.
Ruan Zhishui frowned and walked over, his expression even more impatient.
"As Senior Brother Ran Chu's apprentice, how can you have such poor internal skills, it's just useless."
Xinhu hung his head and silently scolded this guy a hundred times in his heart.
However, a warm current poured into her body through her shoulder, and Xinhu suddenly felt that her frozen blood was full of vitality again.
"Thank you." Heartlake is only promised.
"Don't thank me, if you weren't still useful, I would have slapped you to death with one palm."
Hearing this, Xinhu's little white teeth rattled.
"Hold on to me." In the next moment, his voice came.
It was too late to react, and Xinhu only felt that the sky was spinning, and the person was already being held and flying.
The wind whistled in their ears, and by the time they landed, they were already standing in front of a small stone house in the depths of the deserted snow-capped mountains.
The location of this stone house was extremely hidden, if it weren't for Ruan Zhishui's palm shattering the thick snow shell wrapped around the 'door', she really wouldn't have noticed that there was a house hidden in this white expanse when she stood in front of her.
Ruan Zhishui pushed open the stone 'door' and threw her in.
Xinhu stumbled and fell to the ground, but fortunately there was a thick sheep 'wool' felt cushion on the ground, and she didn't fall painfully, but there were countless little gold stars in her eyes.
Ruan Zhishui took the 'jade' stone box from her arms, and was so busy with him that he didn't know her at all.
After a small half of the salary, Xinhu shook his head and got up, compared to the ice and snow outside, the stone room was surprisingly warm, it didn't feel cold, and it was very dry.
Although the sparrows are small, Xinhu found that although this stone room is small, there are 'beds', tables, fireplaces, teapots, utensils, pots and bowls, bedding and other common items.
glanced at Ruan Zhishui and found that he was sitting cross-legged on the 'bed', just opening the 'jade' stone box.
Heartlake curiously leaned over to take a look, ho! It was filled with a dazzling array of small porcelain bottles of blue and flowers, and after thinking for a while, he took out one of the bottles, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them.
After taking the 'medicine', he began to close his eyes and exercise on his own.
Xinhu was a little bored, she 'rubbed' her hungry belly, tired all night, surprisingly hungry and sleepy.
After rummaging around, she finally found a bag of rice, and the point is that it is not rotten, and it is clear that the 'shade' here is cool and dry, forming a natural storage environment.
Anyway, Ruan Zhishui didn't care about her, she did it herself, and Xinhu was fortunate to be busy working for her livelihood.
She first lit the fireplace, then went outside with a teapot to fetch some snow and stuff it, set it on the stove to boil water, and then began to cook.
After a while, she sat in front of the fireplace with a teacup and drank water, and her stomach was warm under the water, and she suddenly felt that her whole body was soothed.
After another while, a mist of white mist floated out of the pot, mixed with the fragrance of rice, and Xinhu took a few deep breaths, only to feel refreshed.
It's good to be alive......
After the meal was cooked, she looked back at Ruan Zhishui and found that he was still meditating, motionless, and after thinking about it, she still didn't disturb him, so as not to touch his nose.
So, she held the pot and ate beautifully.
##################################
The atmosphere in the room is quite quiet and peaceful, one is pranayama, and the other is full of food and drink and lie down on the sheep 'hair' cushion to rest.
What the heart lake didn't know was that in the depths of another snow-capped mountain hundreds of miles away, two men followed their footprints to find the lake.
Then, I saw the snow-white fox fur cloak by the lakeside, wet by the lake, lying there alone, as if crying about the sadness and loneliness of being left behind.
At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, the inky blue lake water rippled with the wind, reflecting on Lu Gushu's clear face, which was more quiet and tranquil.
He didn't say a word, just walked straight into the lake.
The man behind him hurriedly grabbed him.
"Let's look for it again, Miss Tang Xu is just passing through here, not necessarily ......"
When he saw the unfathomable expression on Lu Gushu's face, like this lake, even Qiao couldn't say the next words.
"If it's not there, just look for it." Lu Gushu threw out a sentence lightly, and then the whole person sank into the water.
Soon, his clear figure merged with the deep blue glacial lake.
#######################################
"Come here."
Xinhu was napping, and suddenly a quiet room sounded as an elegant and deep voice like a guqin.
"Huh?" Xinhu's sleepy eyes were 'confused' and 'cloudy', and he looked dazed.
Before she could react, a white line had been entangled around her waist, and she was dragged to the side of the 'bed' by a sudden force.
"You...... You ......" Xinhu looked at Ruan Zhishui's quiet lotus 'flower' face, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
recovered so quickly, is this 'sex' Xiaoqiang? What a disappointment......
"I've temporarily suppressed the veins of the countercurrent, and I need you to open up a few 'acupoints' for me." Ruan Zhishui explained with rare warmth.
"Oh." Heartlake got up and walked towards him.
Although Ruan Zhishui has returned to his original appearance, he is obviously slightly haggard between his eyebrows and eyes, and his 'lips' and 'color' are pale.
At this time, he changed into a snow-colored robe, his hair was pulled up with a white 'jade' hairpin, and the green silk snaked down his shoulders like a waterfall, which had a delicate style.
I have never seen Ruan Zhishui look so weak, and Xinhu is a little unbearable after all.
"You...... Will it be good? ”
Ruan Zhishui's cold gaze swept over her face, lifted her lips, and spit out a sentence without hurrying.
"Don't worry, I've gone mad, and now it's a fluke to be able to barely suppress it, and if you want to restore the original situation, it's basically impossible in a few years."
His tone was calm, and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.
However, Xinhu didn't expect it to be so serious, although he was a little lucky, but he also felt a little sorry. She bowed her head and was speechless, apologizing didn't mean anything to the adversary, and she believed he would rather she be quiet.
Xinhu sat on the 'bed' and began to seriously help him open up the 'acupoint' path according to Qin Wuyan's instructions.
A few hours later, as Ruan Zhishui's body leaned down and spit out a large ball of black blood, Xinhu also fell softly on the pillow.
I'm so tired...... Fortunately, she ate at the beginning, otherwise, she might have kicked her legs with black eyes on the way to the exercises.
Just now, in the process of helping him heal his injuries, Xinhu found that there was a large amount of 'yin' cold qi accumulated in his body, which should have been eaten back when he went mad.
Therefore, she 'spent' a lot of effort to help him 'force' out of the body, and she was tired enough.
After Ruan Zhishui vomited blood, he lay down beside her, some blood stained on his snow-white clothes, which looked extremely bright and dazzling.
"Huh...... I didn't expect that I had been calculating and framing others, and I didn't even notice that I was planted in the hands of this girl for a while. ”
"I really don't know if it's because I'm too conceited, or if it's providential." Ruan Zhishui sighed lightly, and his tone was as desolate as seeing through the world.
In the final analysis, his current miserable situation has nothing to do with himself, and Xinhu's guilt is even worse.
"Do you want to eat something, I'll heat the meal."
"No, just pour me a glass of water." Ruan Zhishui seemed to be exhausted, lying on the bed, and his tone was softer than ever.
"Okay."
Xinhu hurriedly rolled over and got out of bed, poured him a glass of water, and helped him drink it.
"You can rest for a while."
Xinhu was a little cramped and stood by the 'bed', facing the weak version of Ruan Zhishui, she didn't know what kind of attitude to show.
"There's only one 'bed' here, you come up, I don't mind."
Ruan Zhishui leaned inward, leaving her a piece of space.
Forehead...... But I should mind, right? Heartlake Stay.
But after thinking about it, it's not impossible for the two to have more physical contact than this anyway, and it's hypocritical to refuse, and she doesn't want to sleep on the ground, and the quilt only has one 'bed'.
After a moment's pause, she climbed into bed and lay down beside him, but she kept her distance.
When she turned her head to look at Ruan Zhishui, she found that he had closed his eyes, was breathing evenly, and was already asleep.
On the contrary, he seemed to be angry with his little family, Xinhu sneered, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
