Chapter 1: The Crossing of the Ice River
The north wind is cold, and the weather is cold.
The sky is dark, but the earth is white, as far as the eye can see, not to mention pedestrians, even the beasts in the mountains seem to be afraid of this ruthless world and hide! The north wind whistled across his ears, tearing at Ye Zhiqiu's thin body.
In this vast white world, her figure was lonely and lonely, moving step by step in the direction of the rope that was dangling in the wind and snow.
Dressed in rags, she didn't feel that the pieces of cloth on her body had the slightest effect on the cold, and the hunger pangs also hit her, and she didn't eat for a day.
How far is it going? She looked in the direction of the rope extension and couldn't see the end. Can't stop, she clearly knows that if she stops, she will die, not freezing to death and certainly not starving to death, that person always has a way to arrive at the last moment to save himself who is already dying, even more cruel torture! Presumably his son has this ability, too!
Gritting her teeth, she quickened her pace, but her body didn't seem to be obedient to her call, and despite her efforts, she still squirmed at turtle speed.
Time was fading, the night was already as promised, the darkness slowly covered the sky, and the snow on the ground seemed to be whiter, a little dazzling.
The heavens and the earth are shaking, and the darkness is still falling! Ye Zhiqiu fainted, and not long after, a man wearing a half-golden mask came over on the snow, looked at her, and returned the way she came.
"A hundred meters to go." A hoarse voice reported the results of the girl's game. Throw the leaf on your shoulder like a rag at your feet.
The man in the hall was silent when he heard this, as if he had already expected this result. He gently stroked the cup in his hand, as if it were a rare treasure that would break if he was not careful.
The golden-faced man didn't make any moves, he didn't dare or want to! Don't dare because although the man in front of him is smiling like a flower, he is also ruthless, and he will kill people at every turn, and he doesn't want to be because his own personality is cold, and if he has nothing to do, even if he stands for a day like a sculpture, it is a common thing.
"Take it back to your room! I want her to be alive and well within three days. The man put down his cup and looked out at the snow that was still flying in the sky and fell to the ground.
The golden-faced man reached out again and grabbed it, picked up the weak body and left.
Ye Jia (li) had a long, long dream, saying that it was a dream but it was not true!
She woke up at the mouth of a cave, the man was not there, she was alone, she was a little lucky, glad that he was not there, that meant that for the time being she was free, but she was a little scared, because she didn't know if the man had done it on purpose, if there was danger ahead, or if he had thrown her into the wilderness because he mistakenly thought she was dead.
But soon, she knew it was the former, and the whimpering sounds from the cave told her that she had to flee the place as soon as possible, or she would soon be the food of the tiger in the cave. She got up quickly and ran away, even if this little life was not valued by anyone, she wanted to live, even if it was humble, even though she might be just a plaything of that person.
Sure enough, as soon as she began to escape, a tiger came out of the cave, with pale yellow hair mixed with black lines, walking step by step majestic, her eyes were bloodshot, and her sharp teeth seemed to have the power to bite everything, obviously a hungry tiger.
The tiger seemed not happy that its prey would run away, so it roared wildly and pounced on the leaf at great speed. Faced with the moment of life and death, Ye Jia picked up a long wooden stick, and while running fast, he observed the two ends of the stick, I don't know if God really has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear this girl to die in the mouth of a hungry tiger, just one end of this wooden stick is pointed.
Ye Jia (Li) looked at the distance between the tiger and herself, and knew that she couldn't outrun the tiger, so let's fight to the death!
The tiger saw her stop, his pace slowed down, and he slowly approached the prey step by step, and Ye Jia (li) also calculated the distance in his heart, twenty, eighteen, fifteen....... Closer, closer, and the blow would be doomed.
Taking advantage of the tiger's unpreparedness, Ye Jia (li) stabbed forward with a wooden stick in his hand, stabbed it, but it was also stabbed, so he stabbed one of the tiger's eyes!
Enraged, the tiger roared, startling a flurry of birds into the air. Ye Jia (Li) pulled out the stick and was about to stab again, but was hit by the tiger and went far away, Ye Jia (Li) rolled and crawled up, and was knocked to the ground by the tiger before he could stand firmly.
She got up again and again, was knocked down again and again, and so on.
The tiger seemed to have had enough of the tricks, and its eyes were bloody, and it was even more vicious and terrifying. Li was scared, a sense of helplessness that was on the verge of death.
She wanted to stand up, but she couldn't stand up, facing the tiger, little by little retreated backwards, suddenly, her hand was no longer touching the solid ground, Ye Jia (Li) looked back, and sure enough, she arrived at the Jedi, with a cliff behind her and a tiger in front of her.
She injured the tiger, but the tiger took her life, and sure enough, it was a good reincarnation of heaven, and the sky spared anyone.
With the last of her strength, she stood up, turned and jumped off the cliff. Who would have thought that it was just an eight-year-old girl who would fight a tiger alone.
Heaven has a playful heart, playing with the fate of people in the world, and under the hundred-foot cliff is a deep pool, which saves a small life of Ye Jia (li).
Then he was rescued by an old slave next to the man. The old slave came to her tremblingly with a cane, lifted her dying like a jug of old wine, and turned and walked back.
She sometimes wonders, where did this dying old man get so much strength? Although he is already skinny to the bone, how can he be seven or eight years old, and he must have fifty or sixty pounds to say the least, how can he be lifted up effortlessly? Of course, all this, she did not get an answer.
The picture turns sharply, as if there is a magical memory gear in a dream, and every scene makes her immersive, she is in the snake cave, she is in the medicine garden, she is under the waterfall, and she is on the top of the mountain...... Five-year-old, six-year-old, seven-year-old...... Different scenes, different ages, different and her heart.
When she was very young, that person took her out, and she would cry and make trouble and be coquettish, but all this trick was a farce for him.
He would never change any decision because of her reluctance, cold-blooded and ruthless!
Later, she didn't cry or make trouble, she went wherever he took her, let her do whatever she wanted, and lived as a puppet, and the thread was in his hands.
