In the cold winter, the northern Xinjiang ushered in another snow, the snow flew, fluttering and falling from top to bottom, the earth seemed to be hidden in the hazy snow mist, the heaven and the earth were one color, dotted with a barren land, bringing people a poetic and ethereal beauty.

After a while, a layer of snow fell on the ground.

I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walking in the snow and mist, he was wearing a linen robe, a coarse cloth belt around his waist, and a simple decayed coat, and his head full of green silk was simply tied up by a crown of hair, revealing his clean and fair handsome face. At this time, he frowned slightly, his pursed lips were slightly pale, his hair fell a few snowflakes, some hoarfrost formed on his eyebrows, and there was a snowflake lying mischievously on the tip of his eyebrows, and a layer of snow fell on his clothes.

He walked forward with deep and shallow steps, and suddenly, his steps stopped, and the snow on his decayed clothes fell with his movements, but soon other snowflakes filled it. At this time, his brow furrowed even tighter, and those beautiful eyes looked ahead with some hesitation.

Not far from him, there was a pool of bright red blood, which looked extremely dazzling against the white snow, and on the blood was lying a fox with beautiful hair, the whole body was white, if it were not for the blood stains on its body, I am afraid that it would have to merge with the snow. Just when the boy thought it was dead, he saw its body tremble slightly.

After thinking for a while, the young man walked over and picked it up carefully, the softness of his arms made his brows relax slightly, sighed lightly, and whispered slightly: "Little fox, will you accompany me in the future." Then he raised his feet and walked slowly, and his small body was soon hidden by the heavy snow.

The little fox only lifted its eyelids slightly, and quickly closed them weakly.

A hundred years later

On the occasion of the New Year, every household in the capital is brightly lit up to celebrate the beginning of the New Year, the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial city shuttle through the various palaces to be busy for the emperor's upcoming banquet, and the people of the whole country are busy pasting couplets to welcome the New Year. On this day, the national teacher should hold a festival to send blessings to the people of the whole country, and at the same time pray that the heavens will protect the wind and rain of the country and the peace of the country, but when the day is ugly, the old national teacher died suddenly, the bell rang twelve times, and the whole country mourned, and the monarch could only order the temporary suspension of all feasts and drinks, orchestral singing and dancing entertainment for three days, and at the same time send people to meet the newly appointed national teacher, and the new national teacher presided over the funeral of the old national teacher.

In the barren land of northern Xinjiang, the north wind howled coldly, and the biting cold made people shrink. Snowflakes floated in the sky again, and they fluttered like a feast of snow, and after a while, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground.

The snow is falling, and the beauty is beautiful, but it hinders the footsteps of passers-by.

At this time, a team of men and horses were braving the wind and snow to escort a delicate carriage forward, but the snow was so heavy that it was impossible to walk anymore.

"Master Guoshi, this snow is falling too much, shall we find a place to rest for a while, and wait for the snow to be a little lighter before leaving?" A general frowned at the heavy snow, it was really inconvenient to walk in such a snow and fog, and he was afraid of hurting the new national teacher, so he turned around and bowed respectfully to the carriage and said.

The general was silent for a while before he heard a warm voice coming from inside: "Is there a place to rest in such a barren place?" ”

The general was obviously stunned, frowned and looked around, and what caught his eyes was a white expanse. That's right, there's really no place to avoid the wind and snow.

"So what to do? The snow is too big, and the general is afraid that it will be in danger and hurt the noble body of the national teacher. When he went to greet the national teacher, he felt that he was weak, and he waited cautiously all the way, for fear of breaking him.

"It's okay, let's keep walking, you should be able to get to Yufeng Town before dark." The voice is still as light as water, but it can warm people's hearts.

"Yes."

The carriage swayed again, but it had only been gone for a while, when strange sounds suddenly sounded around it, and a twisted force flooded the air. The general frowned and said to the sentry behind him, "You go to the front to investigate." ”

"Yes." The sentry answered, and quickly departed.

The general looked back at the carriage uneasily, the carriage was still moving smoothly, but the uneasiness in his heart kept expanding, he always felt that something was going to happen, this was his instinct as a soldier. Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, and saw that the snow on the snowy mountain on the side began to slide non-stop, rolling more and more, as if he realized something, he yelled at the carriage in a hurry: "Master Guoshi, it's not good, it's going to be an avalanche, hurry up and go with the general." As he spoke, he didn't care about any dignity and humility, and as soon as he stepped into the carriage, he pulled out the people inside and threw them on his backs and ran, and when the others saw this, they also hurriedly escorted the national teacher to run.

On the general's back was like a bald boy, at this time on his back tossed and turned, and this snow-capped mountain, because of the general's roar, trembled even more, he frowned and looked back at the crumbling snow-capped mountain, his eyes were slightly dark.

After a while, a loud bang sounded behind the general, and the snow rolled and quickly approached the general with no one. Although he found it in time, how could his legs run faster than the speed of the avalanche, some of the guards behind him who couldn't run fast had already been drowned in the snowy mountains, and in the end, he was also shocked by the force of the avalanche and fell to the ground, and the national teacher behind him was also thrown in front.

I don't know if it was lucky, the avalanche happened to extend behind him, although he was covered with a lot of snow, but it did not hurt his life, and he passed out.

After the avalanche, the heavens and the earth were silent, and the snow on the snowy field was endless as far as the eye could see, leaving only the cold north wind whistling and blowing.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw the snow that buried the general trembled slightly, "Master Guoshi." As soon as he struggled out of the snow, he hurriedly got up and wanted to save the national teacher, but he didn't know when, there was already a weak young man wearing a long blue coat in ingots in front of him. I saw his red lips and bright eyes, condensed white skin, his lips were pursed, his smooth eyebrows and eyes added a warm atmosphere to him, his smooth and clean head was round and beautiful, and his beautiful eyes looked ahead, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He was slightly stunned, but he also asked anxiously, "Is the National Teacher okay?" ”

"It doesn't matter." I only listened to his faint words, and his expression was a little sad, I don't know if I was sad for those guards who were flooded in snow. But he knew that the guards couldn't be saved.

"Master Guoshi, what should we do now?" He looked at the endless snow in front of him, he couldn't tell the time, and he couldn't recognize the way back to the imperial city at all.
