Chapter 1 Yixiao
The snow-covered land is a beautiful sight to behold.
As night falls, the snow still falls and shows no signs of stopping, and the sound of firecrackers in the distance reminds people of the arrival of the new year.
An orange light was particularly warm in the heavy snow, and inside the house, the vermilion square scarf covered with a delicate phoenix with thin golden threads lay quietly on the table, which contrasted sharply with the white snow outside the window.
Lin Yixiao's delicate face was flushed with a faint flush, and it looked quite attractive in the faint candlelight, like the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, and gently picked up the red hijab, and the delicate fingers as warm as mutton fat jade stroked the embroidered gold silk phoenix pattern, and gently covered herself, and her heart beat a little fast in an instant, tomorrow is the wedding day of her and Xiang Jiayan, and she is about to wear this hijab to marry the person who thinks about it.
Tonight is full of thoughts, I can't suppress the excitement in my heart, and it is destined to be a sleepless night.
Outside the window, the snowflakes danced in the air like elves, Lin Yixiao gently lifted her hijab, smiled at the mirror, and had infinite reverie and yearning for tomorrow's wedding, completely forgetting the cold north wind outside the window and the never-ending heavy snow......
The next day, the snow still did not stop, and flakes of snowflakes danced with bursts of suona in the chaotic and noisy crowd. A jubilant man wearing a red robe walked in front of Lin Yixiao, who was covered with a red hijab, Lin Yixiao could only see Xiang Jiayan's feet, and could hear people's laughter and fighting, just watching Xiang Jiayan walk in front of him, Lin Yixiao's heart beat faster again.
"What a talented woman." There was a voice of envy in the crowd, and when the words fell, a pair of warm big hands tightly held Lin Yixiao's small hand, and the warm current spread along the hand to her heart, Lin Yixiao couldn't help laughing.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm here to pick you up." Xiang Jiayan bowed his head, his thin lips were close to Lin Yixiao's ear and whispered, even through the hijab, Lin Yixiao still felt a hot breath along the nerves to reach the whole body, and finally stayed in the softest place in his heart, lingering for a long time.
Lin Yixiao lowered her head shyly and didn't answer, but just grabbed Xiang Jiayan's hand tightly.
Led by Xiang Jiayan all the way, Lin Yixiao put on her hijab, and finally walked to the sedan chair with small steps, even if she was covered with a hijab, Lin Yixiao also knew that both sides were full of people watching the excitement.
As soon as she sat in the sedan chair, there was a rush, and the sound of heavy footsteps came, and finally stopped next to the sedan chair, the crowd was a little chaotic, people seemed to be whispering something, Lin Yixiao was a little unsteady in her heart, but because of today's identity, she couldn't lift the hijab to see what was happening outside.
She could only sit in the sedan chair and wait quietly, waiting for the moment when the sedan chair was picked up.
It seems that after a long time, the noisy and chaotic sound has not decreased, but has become more and more intense.
"Run, run......"
"The Beihu people have entered the city......"
Suddenly, those chaotic voices were amplified, Lin Yixiao couldn't sit still anymore, lifted her hijab and walked out of the sedan chair.
The crowd was chaotic, people were panicking, people were running around like headless flies, Lin Yixiao looked at the scene in front of him blankly, looking for Xiang Jiayan's traces, but he couldn't find anything.
"Girl, what are you doing standing here stupidly, Beihu has already attacked, the city has been broken, and the groom has run away, you hurry up, it is important to save your life!" A kind sister-in-law stopped, hurriedly explained a few words and ran away in a hurry.
Lin Yixiao's brain was blank, although he had already heard about some tight wars in Beihu, but it sounded like a fantasy, as far away as the stars in the sky, how could he have expected that yesterday's outsider suddenly became a party.
Compared with Beihu's attack on the city without warning, what made Lin Yixiao even more unbelievable was that Xiang Jiayan actually ran away...... That's right, left her behind and ran away to Jiayan herself.
Two lines of tears slid down Lin Yixiao's beautiful cheeks, and layers of mist condensed into dark eyes, and thousands of thoughts poured into her heart, making Lin Yixiao unable to digest.
In the chaotic and noisy crowd, Lin Yixiao's fiery red wedding dress stood there quietly like a sculpture, which was particularly dazzling by the diffuse war and the terrifying atmosphere.
At this point, the snow is heavier.
The corpses are all over the field, the war is thick, and the people are panicked, Lin Yixiao has already casually picked up a dead man's clothes and quietly changed them, although this dress is shabby, it is simply different from the gorgeous wedding dress before, but compared with the wedding dress, this shabby clothes is more convenient to move and will not be too conspicuous.
The first thing she did after packing herself up was to look for her parents, but the crowds were crowded, the scene was chaotic, her parents had long been scattered by people, I don't know where the scattered were, the snow still kept falling, and the snowflakes were like catkins in spring, not considering people's grief and despair at the moment, as if the more fierce the war, the more energetic it flew.
Because of the heavy snow that has not stopped for a moment, the snow on the ground has not reached her feet and necks, Lin Yixiao, who is mixed in the crowd, is very cautious, and she will follow the crowd in which direction it goes.
After a long time, Lin Yixiao looked up at the surrounding environment, and the familiar four-cornered eaves temple came into view, and Lin Yixiao knew that they were now running towards the outside of the city, and it seemed that they would be able to leave the city soon.
Figuring out this situation, Lin Yixiao got some comfort and let out a long breath, but then a wave of worry arose, I don't know where my father and mother are now, is it safe?
Just when Lin Yixiao was worried about her parents, she suddenly found that the fleeing crowd had changed direction and ran back in the direction they came, and the sudden lane change made the crowd noisier and more panicked than before, falling to the ground, crawling and rolling, and crying and shouting.
Lin Yixiao grabbed the arm of a woman who was running backwards, her voice revealed uneasiness, and said, "What are you doing, aren't we going out of the city?" ”
"What kind of city?! The city has long been surrounded by Beihu's army, and we can't get out! There was a cry in the woman's voice, obviously more scared than Lin Yixiao.
"Aren't we killing ourselves when we go back?" Lin Yixiao frowned, the rich sorrow between her eyebrows couldn't be dissolved, and the fear couldn't stop surging into her heart, is she going to die here today......
"That's no way, if you go out now, you'll die immediately!" The woman hurriedly shook off her arms, patted the snowflakes on the baggage, hugged the burden on her chest, and trotted away, she did not want to lose her life because of a stranger's delay.
Everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, no one wants to say a word of nonsense, they just want to run for their lives, the cruelty and brutality of the Beihu people is not something that these ordinary people can think of.
The snow is so dazzling at this moment, it is mixed with the blood with body temperature in the city, melting into a strange picture, looking at it from a distance, it makes people shudder, Lin Yixiao is also the first time in her life to encounter this kind of thing, she feels that hell on earth is nothing more than this, the resentment towards Xiang Jiayan in her heart has faded a little, in the face of life, how vulnerable love is.
The festive festivities that filled the streets and alleys have long since disappeared, and people are now like rats in winter, hiding and hiding from those who will never run around the streets.
Lin Yixiao had no choice but to follow the fleeing crowd to change direction and continue to flee.
