The Hellie Prison used to be called that way.

It occupies the vast Far North, although it is sparsely populated and desolate and barren, it has the most vast grassland in the world, the most magnificent snow-capped mountains, although it is different from the scenery of the Central Plains, but it has its own unique beauty.

That kind of beauty lasted until the strife of the Central Plains countries, and all kinds of sinners were exiled here.

Among those sinners, some of them possessed great wisdom and force, and they gradually took root and grew up here, and ruled the aborigines here by various means. They condone crime, the sale of slaves and human life, and the absolute law of bullying, so that darkness was like a dark cloud covering the land.

The people of the Central Plains hated the cruelty of this land that annihilated human nature, so they called it "Ghost Prison".

Xiao Tingchen disguised himself and walked around the edge of the ghost prison, passing through dozens of desolate towns, and finally arrived at Tianlan Mountain.

Tianlan Mountain is undulating, and you can feel the wind, snow and cold blowing in your face when you stand at the foot of the mountain.

The mountain road is steep and difficult to climb, and as Tianshu said, the horses cannot go up the mountain at all.

Xiao Tingchen let go of his mount, tied Su Jiu firmly to his back with a rope, and climbed the mountain road unhurriedly.

The wind and snow were howling in his ears, and he climbed a steep cliff with his bare hands, and when he looked down, the snow fell and shattered into countless snow hail, which was very dangerous to look at.

He smiled, "Su Xiaojiu, if you open your eyes now, you will definitely be scared, after all, you are a very timid girl......"

He calmly ascended another mountain path and looked up at the distant summit.

Through the snow and mist, he faintly saw a building standing there.

The mountain road is so rugged and difficult to navigate, I really don't know how Lu Qing ran to settle down there in the first place.

After another two hours of arduous trekking, it gradually darkened.

Xiao Tingchen wanted to find a cave to rest, but he saw a dilapidated mountain temple in front of him.

He pondered for a moment and entered the mountain temple with Su wine.

Although the temple is dilapidated, it can also shelter from the wind and snow.

He saw dry wood piled up next to the statue of the mountain god, so he took a fire fold and lit it and built a bonfire in the temple.

He untied Su Jiu and held it in his arms, rubbing her little hands, "It's a little cold...... I should have given you two extra jackets before going up the mountain. ”

The girl fell asleep, and the warm yellow fire reflected on her white cheeks, even if she had traveled a long distance, she did not lose her beauty.

Xiao Tingchen stroked her long green hair lovingly, although he was in a hurry at night, he knew that Su Jiu was a girl who loved cleanliness, so he had always paid attention to helping her wash her hair and body, but this mountain temple really didn't have any supplies, so he couldn't wash her hair and bathe.

He warmed Su Jiu's hands, lowered his head and kissed her fingertips, "Sister will bear with me tonight, and when I go to Lu Qing tomorrow, I will ask him for hot water to clean you." ”

Outside the house, the wild wind howled like the roar of a thousand wild beasts.

The night of splashing ink completely enveloped the four fields, and the firelight in the mountain temple jumped, but it was also warm.

Xiao Tingchen put Su wine by the fire, got up and walked around the temple, and saw that there was a discarded iron pot, so he took it and put it on the fire, got some snow cubes and boiled it, and threw the dry food he carried with him into it to cook.

The snow-capped mountains are so cold, people always have to eat something warm.

The aroma of food gradually spread in the temple, Xiao Tingchen stirred the batter in the iron pot with a stick, and was thinking about sprinkling some salt into it, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps and talking outside the house.

He looked, and a young man dressed as a small guy pushed open the door, and respectfully supported a son.

The young man asked, "Hey, my son-in-law wants to stay here for one night, is it okay?" ”

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at the son, who looked about twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, delicate and slender, a little cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, wearing a dark green tunic with a round neck, and wearing jade around his waist, very restrained and elegant, like a scholar in the Central Plains.

It's a pity that his eyes are unfocused, and he is a blind man.

He said nonchalantly, "I don't call 'hey'. ”

The little guy was angry, "You guys are very angry, but this mountain temple is not your family, it's good if I ask you, you dare to talk about some of them." What's wrong with telling you to feed you, it's just calling you—"

He was about to curse something even more ugly, but the ink-clothed boy stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hugh is rude." ”

After he finished training the little guy, he judged the direction of the voice and bowed his hand to Xiao Tingchen, "My little guy can't speak, and I hope the son will forgive me." I think you also came to Tianlan Mountain to seek medical advice, you and I are both like-minded people, for the sake of each other's difficulties, can you allow me and my little guy to stay here for one night? ”

Xiao Tingchen hooked his thin lips and smiled angrily, "You can, your little guy should get out." ”

The little guy was so angry that he smoked, "You-"

The boy in ink stopped him again, "He's just joking with you." ”

The little guy "hummed", and helped his son-in-law to the corner of the haystack and sat down with a black face.

The temple fell silent, save for the howling of the north wind and the beep of the fire.

Xiao Tingchen cooked the batter, scooped up a spoonful with a latte spoon, blew it warm and enjoyed it for himself.

The little guy looked at it, proudly took out a pack of hot ducks, opened it and respectfully presented it to his son-in-law, "Doctor Lu is sympathetic to you, and he will stuff you with a pack of sauce duck before leaving." I don't know what it tastes like, but it's a good thing to use to cushion your stomach, and it's much better than the so-called batter. ”

"Immortality, Hugh is rude." The ink-clothed boy scolded softly, and then turned to Xiao Tingchen, "This sauce duck is indeed a gift from Doctor Lu Shen, according to him, the sauce is made of medicine, and it can be eaten in the cold night to keep warm." If the prince doesn't mind, you can wake up Mrs. Zun and enjoy it with you. ”

Xiao Tingchen was interested, staring at his dull eyes, "How do you know that there is another girl next to me?" ”

The man smiled, "I was born in the dark, so my hearing is very sensitive, and I heard a faint breathing sound next to Childe, like a girl's house." Childe spoke with a lot of anger and didn't look like he was sick, so he dared to judge that you came to see Dr. Lu Shen in order to treat Mrs. Zun. ”

"What a smart person...... Xiao Tingchen chuckled, not only did he not let down his guard because of the kindness shown by the other party, but he was more cautious than just now.

He said lightly: "You don't need the duck, you can enjoy it yourself." ”

"Be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, son, don't accommodate this guy anymore!" The little guy Changsheng was full of disgust, "You eat some duck to pad your stomach, if you don't take care of it and make you thin, you should be scolded again when you go back." ”

The two parties ate their own food, stayed until late at night, and slept through the fire and clothes, like countless strangers who met in the water and never saw each other again.
