Xiao Xiao picked up the big seal and patted the dirt on it.

The torches blown by the wind in the mountains are clearly extinguished, but the four seal characters of "Treasure of the Northern Hebei" can still be seen clearly.

Huzi and Mu Jinghu were dumbfounded.

"This is the heirloom jade seal of Northern Hebei!"

"How did this thing end up here?"

Mu Jinghu and Huzi coincidentally looked back at Qin Yining, this piece of land was circled by Qin Yining, and she even knew the depth of the excavation, which showed that the jade seal that Li Qitian couldn't find was indeed hidden by Qin Yining.

Huzi lowered his voice and couldn't hide his excitement: "I didn't expect the princess to hide such a treasure!" ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "You can't talk nonsense, you should treat this thing as spiritual, and you can run by yourself when you have legs." ”

Qin Yining laughed out, even Xiao Congee smiled and bent his eyes, and the slightly tense atmosphere eased at once.

Huzi was also shocked that what he said was inappropriate, and he smiled apologetically and scratched the back of his head.

Xiao Xiao turned around and handed the jade seal to Qin Yining, "You take it." And he said, "Let's restore this place to its original state." ”

"Good!" Huzi and Mu Jinghu had no objections, and soon they were busy.

Qin Yining held the heavy jade seal and showed it to Lian Xiao Congee.

Even the slender and white fingertips of the small porridge stroked the four seal characters of "Treasure of the Northern Hebei" full of soil, and his eyes were moist.

For the past, it is impossible to say that she is not half stunned. But she is not an ignorant child after all, she understands what she can and cannot do now.

Besides, in order to protect her, Qin Yining has even hidden her most beloved person for so many years, no matter how difficult she has lived these years, she has never treated her badly, even if she wants to take out the jade seal now, it is for her to think everything properly before she said it, if she had a bad heart, she would have deliberately left her at the beginning, and even killed her, didn't she have to suffer it?

Qin Yining said kindly, do her best for her, treat her as a sister, she can't even bother with the memory of the past that she can't remember, is it worth it to hurt the closest people with those past things?

The national gas of Northern Hebei has long been exhausted, and it is already in the past.

The three of them restored the place to its original state, and brought some snow to cover the ground.

"Fortunately, it has been snowing heavily recently, and it won't be long before these traces and our footprints will be covered." Xiao Xiao laughed.

Qin Yining nodded, and handed the jade seal to Xiao Xiao to put it away, "It is estimated that no one from this wilderness will come." Let's think about how we're going to spend tonight. It's no longer time to go down. ”

As soon as the words fell, a wolf howl was heard.

Qin Yining and even Xiao Congee couldn't help but tense their bodies.

Xiao Xiao put his arm around Qin Yining's shoulders.

As far as the eye can see, the branches of the woods are full of ghosts, the wolf howls in the ears, the north wind howls, mercilessly burrowing into the necklines, and the sound of snow falling in the dark and silent night is like the footsteps of something unknown.

He suddenly remembered that when Qin Yining was a child, the night, the cold, the hunger, and the beasts that could pounce at any time had to work non-stop every day......

What should I do if I get sick suddenly? What if you encounter a wild beast or get hurt?

When other girls were living a comfortable life, his baby's bump had already tasted the warmth and coldness of the world in order to survive.

Qin Yining didn't notice Xiao Xiao's strange mood, and took Lian Xiaocongee's hand and said, "Are there any caves or anything like that around here, so that a few of us can take shelter for the night?" ”

Lian Xiao Congee nodded, "Yes, go this way, along the hillside." Sister, come with me. ”

Even Xiao Congee held Qin Yining's hand, and the two of them picked up a thick wooden stick to clear the obstacles in front of them, and their flexible steps surprised several people.

Xiao Xiao, Mu Jinghu, and Huzi also hurriedly followed.

After walking for about two teas, Lian Xiao Congee found the familiar place, which was not actually a cave, but a depression on the hillside formed by the thick roots of a large tree, which could half-cover the top of the head and block the wind.

The five of them lit a fire in the middle, Qin Yining hung up his cloak to make a curtain, and even the small porridge did the same, and untied his cloak next to Qin Yining's.

Qin Yining instructed the three men: "You go to find the snow, pile it all around, and block the gaps by piling up the snow and compacting it." ”

The three of them did as they were told, and everyone worked together, and soon made a hiding cave.

From the gap where only one person could pass sideways into the cave, the warm campfire was so hot that the slightly damp branches were discarded, and the dried branches that had been selected did not produce much smoke and dust when they burned. In this way, the heat of the campfire quickly bakes the snow next to each other even stronger.

"I can't imagine that the princess is so powerful and can build such a warm snow room." Huzi laughed.

Qin Yining said with a smile: "This is nothing, we are just temporarily squeezing for a while, and staying in such a place for a long time will make you sick." ”

Huzi had the heart to ask Qin Yining what kind of place he lived in the mountains before, whether he had built a house or lived in a cave, but when he saw Xiao Xiao's expression that had already revealed a little distress, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth in a daze.

Qin Yining and Lian Xiaocongee squeezed and leaned on the innermost, Xiao Xiao unfolded the big cake to Qin Yining and Lian Xiao Congee as a quilt to surround him, and sat down next to Qin Yining, Huzi and Mu Jinghu also sat down next to Xiao Xiao, took out the dough cake on his body and skewered it with a branch and roasted it on the fire.

Qin Yining let Lian Xiaocongee lean on her shoulder, and she was crooked on her shoulder, in such a simple and warm environment, there was a faint smell of firewood in the air and the aroma of dough cake, which made people feel at ease when they smelled it.

Xu was because there were owls around her, Qin Yining was not as vigilant as she used to be in the mountains, and she soon fell asleep.

Xiao Xiao originally wanted to ask her to get up and eat some hot bread, but seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, her little face was red, so she was reluctant to wake her up, so she simply ate baked bread with Huzi and Mu Jinghu in the snow, arranged to take turns to keep vigil, and rested with peace of mind.

The next day, the sky was bright, and the five of them simply ate a few bites of bread, then found a way down the mountain, and returned to Liangcheng after tidying up.

For Xiao Xiao took a few people out for a night, and called Lian Xiao Congee, Bingtang guessed that what they did must be related to Lian Xiaocongee's life experience, but don't look at Qin Yining, Lian Xiao Congee went, and Huzi also went, but Bingtang would not take the initiative to ask any of them. She should know, she didn't have to ask, Qin Yining would have told her a long time ago, if it was dangerous to her, Qin Yining would hide it.

As Bingtang thought, the rest of the people tacitly didn't ask much.

Qin Yining changed out of her damp dress, and when the cool breeze blew, she covered her mouth and sneezed three times in a row.

"The princess, don't get into trouble." Bingtang said nervously, "I'll prepare ginger soup first, you and the porridge are hot and spicy to eat a big bowl to drive away the cold." ”

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, "By the way, bring them some and send some too." ”

"Got it."

Rock Candy walked briskly to borrow the kitchen of the inn.

Jiyun took a hot cloth to serve Qin Yining to scrub.

"The closer you get to the capital, the colder it gets, the princess is cold, why don't you pay attention to it, so that you dare to have cold ice cubes on your hands and feet."

"It shouldn't be in the future, it's no way, I spent the night in the snow last night, ah!" Rubbing his itchy nose, Qin Yining said with tears in his eyes, "It's very cold at night, but we found a special small cave and built a fire, otherwise it might not be cold like this." ”

Jiyun sighed, "You have a cold, don't wash your hair today, scrub it and wear thicker, eat ginger soup and sweat well, it would be better if you could sleep for a while." ”

"Hmm." Qin Yining nodded, and wiped his nose with the straw paper.

Xiao Xiao ate ginger soup next door, and heard from rock candy that Qin Yining seemed to have a cold, and hurriedly returned to the house. Qin Yining had already dried the ginger soup in one gulp at this time, chewed another piece of ginger, and sweated on his spicy forehead and neck.

When he came in the door, he saw Qin Yining wrapping himself in a quilt, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's all mine, it's not thoughtful enough, and I'm not ready to spend the night on the mountain, so I let you get cold." ”

"It's nothing to do with you, everyone is fine, but I have a cold, that's my own problem." Qin Yining smiled, "It's all discussed?" When are we leaving? ”

"You're sick, let's rest here for two days before we leave."

"Didn't I rush to Maocheng for Chinese New Year's Eve? If it is delayed, Chinese New Year's Eve will catch up in the wilderness. ”

Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said: "Let's look at your situation first, if it doesn't work, let's go here for the New Year, anyway, it's not the first time I've resisted the decree." "It's like a broken can.

Qin Yining shook his head amusedly: "This can't be done, it's already full of pigtails for people to catch, and it can't be added to the fire." Speaking of this, Qin Yining waved his hand at Jiyun and Bingtang, and called Lian Xiao Porridge to him.

Bingtang and Jiyun knew that Qin Yining had something to say, so they hurriedly retreated to guard the door, not letting anyone approach.

"Zhixi, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Zheng asked.

Qin Yining pulled Lian Xiao Congee, looked at her somewhat apprehensive little appearance, touched her cheek with pity, and said: "I want to ask you to help, find a proper person to take care of Xiao Congee, and place her in a safe place, we have found that thing, I am afraid that sooner or later, we will not be able to hide Xiao Congee's identity, and then we will cause her to be killed." ”

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, you have to be foolproof." ”

Even Xiao Congee shook his head, "Sister, I'm not afraid, I don't want to be separated from you, and I don't want to be separated from Sister Rock Candy......"

"Little porridge, you are good." Qin Yining stopped Lian Xiaocongee's words and nodded her face, "You follow me back to Beijing, it's like sending fish to a cat, it's too dangerous for you, I promise, when things are resolved in the future, I will definitely pick you up for reunion." ”
