In the early hours of the morning, the temperature dropped significantly, and the chilly night breeze swept by, making this impoverished village even more bleak.

Most of the people have already fallen asleep, but the courtyard of the old Tang head is actually very lively, and from time to time the smell of meat wafts with the night breeze, almost enveloping the entire village, causing people in their sleep to can't help but sniff and drool.

The small, shabby wooden table was covered with a white-washed cloth sheet, and a large clay basin was used on top of it, full of stewed dog meat with crispy bones and slightly yellowed skin.

However, the old Tang Tou was not distressed, although the cloth list was a pity, but it couldn't stand this "distinguished guest" who was brought to the door by Rhubarb Erhei in the middle of the night was more generous than the two who left before, the silver ingot was like a stone in her hands, and the silver ticket was like waste paper, as long as the old Tang Tou could meet her requirements, he would give it without mercy.

Before and after, the old Tang Tou and his son and daughter-in-law received a total of six silver ingots from Yan Rumei, in line with the principle that they have to let others drink soup when they eat meat, and Yan Rumei specified that they wanted to eat dog meat, Lao Tang was ruthless, gritted his teeth, took out half a tael of silver, knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and bought back two dogs of Liu San's family in the west of the village who were about the same size as their own big dogs, and killed the stew.

As for the rhubarb and two black, he naturally tried to find a way to send him out of the village to avoid the limelight first, and waited for Yan Rumei to leave and pick him up.

After all, it is a self-raised dog, and if it has feelings, how can it be willing to let people eat meat and drink soup?

Of course, these Yan Rumei didn't know, and Xue'er didn't know either, although it was a little embarrassing to think that the two fierce big dogs suddenly became a bowl of Chinese food, but after all, it was a day's journey, and they were all walking in the wilderness, there was food at the moment, where did they care so much?

Although Yan Rumei no longer doubts the fact that the father and son are just ordinary people, it doesn't mean that she is not cautious, the dog meat is only willing to be eaten by the old Tang Tou after tasting it in advance.

But even so, there was a trace of indescribable strangeness in Cher's heart. Although it was her first time eating dog meat, she always felt that the taste was indescribably strange.

However, Old Tang Tou and his son and daughter-in-law have tasted it successively, and Yan Rumei is fine when she eats, her stomach is really hungry, so she also eats some.

Because before Yan Rumei and Xue'er, there were still people who borrowed money from Old Tang, but they left suddenly in the middle of the night, and it was just left for Xue'er and Yan Rumei at this moment.

Xue'er was also tired all day, although she knew that Yan Rumei was unpredictable, she still couldn't help but fall asleep, and in a blink of an eye, she played chess with Zhou Gong and played in the dark, without even a dream.

Speechless all night.

Xue'er was woken up by Yan Rumei's nose, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yan Rumei's cold and beautiful face, and shouted: "Hurry up, it's time to hurry!" ”

So Xue'er was reluctantly picked up from the bed by Yan Rumei, simply washed her face and combed her hair, ate the breakfast prepared by the old Tang Tou's daughter-in-law, and continued to hurry.

Yesterday, Xue'er and Yan Rumei walked more than 200 miles, so it is not very far from the capital. So even if Yan Rumei didn't take the official road and avoided the crowd, she only bypassed the state capitals, counties, and large and small villages, and passed through the fields and crops.

After walking for three days in a row, he never saw Xuanyuan Yu, Shan Tianying or Murong Yuan's people caught up, Yan Rumei gradually relaxed his vigilance, and in the evening, he no longer slept in the wilderness, but entered the nearest town to find an inn to stay, or find a farmer's house to spend the night, and eat a serious meal by the way to replenish his strength.

Xue'er couldn't help but feel a trace of loss in her heart, but she herself refused to believe it, so she was inevitably depressed in her heart, and the emotions revealed were naturally ridiculed by Yan Rumei again.

So she kept saying to herself that Xuanyuan Yu was the young master of the Chengtian Sect, and she was not a person from the road, so she shouldn't have any extravagant hopes for him.

Of course, she didn't wonder why the young master of the Chengtian Sect suddenly became the third prince of Dongling, and how he passed the emperor's level.

asked Yan Rumei, but Yan Rumei just smiled faintly, her eyes mocked: "This question, you keep it to ask Xuanyuan Yu, if it comes out of my mouth, you still have to find him to confirm it, right?" ”

So Xue'er didn't ask anymore, but she couldn't figure it out even if she wanted to break her head, so she had to give up.

The two of them continued all the way north, but still did not encounter anyone who came to look for Cher. So Xue'er was even more lost, Yan Rumei was more at ease, and she relaxed her vigilance.

Although the journey was uneventful, Cher always had a strange feeling in her heart, as if someone was following them in the dark since the night at Old Tang's house.

But when I really looked back, I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't even notice anything unusual even if I stayed there for a while.

Yan Rumei should also have such a strange feeling, but on the one hand, she was in a hurry, and on the other hand, she really couldn't find it, so she had to give up in the end.

Xue'er and Yan Rumei had already changed into thick cotton clothes when they entered a relatively prosperous town, but they still couldn't resist the colder and colder weather.

Smelling the faint smell of herbs on the cotton clothes, the strange feeling in Xue'er's heart poured out again, but she still didn't have a clue.

Yan Rumei also frowned, but after seeing that Xue'er was wearing it, there was nothing wrong, so she didn't think about it anymore, and the two of them continued to hurry.

In this way, I have been walking for more than ten days, the foot is no longer a flat river, the road is gradually rugged, and the population is more sparse, sometimes I may not be able to meet a village in a day, and finally I can only find a cave to escape the cold and spend the night.

The farther north you go, the colder it gets, and the less crowded it becomes.

The ground beneath his feet was frozen and stiff, and the occasional hardy plant appeared around it, and it was sparsely populated.

The cotton clothes on Xue'er's body can no longer resist the cold, her little face is red from the cold, and her limbs are numb, but Yan Rumei still refuses to stop, and keeps urging Xue'er to move forward, and occasionally when Xue'er is really cold and can't stand it, she lets Xue'er practice to resist.

Xue'er was forced by the cold, so she had no choice but to continue to operate her breath according to the method taught by Yan Rumei, and she had to take a certain amount of time to contact each morning and evening, and then use the rest of the time to hurry.

In this way, their journey slowed down, from walking 200 to 100 miles a day at the beginning, to walking about 150 miles a day, and sometimes they could only walk 100 miles a day.

As soon as Xue'er spent cultivating to resist the cold, the consequence was that the forehead sand in the center of her eyebrows gradually changed from light purple to deep purple, and there was a faint hint of light in the purple!

In this regard, Yan Rumei's heart was satisfied, but Xue'er's heart was confused, although she really didn't want to practice according to what Yan Rumei said, but the climate was so cold that she couldn't help it.

During this period, she didn't think about running away, but first, she was sparse, she couldn't even remember the road, and she didn't know where to flee at all, and secondly, she really didn't want to go south, in case she returned to or passed by the country of Dongling and met Xuanyuan, she didn't know how to face him at all!

Even if it wasn't going south, east or west, after trying twice and being directly caught back by Yan Rumei, Xue'er completely broke off this idea, and obediently followed Yan Rumei to the north, but followed the other party to find that empty mountain.

There is more and more time spent cultivating every day, which makes Xue'er annoyed but helpless, and her heart becomes more and more depressed, so the effect of cultivation is getting worse and worse.

In this regard, Yan Rumei was very helpless, but although she was good at figuring out men's minds and seducing men, she really couldn't explain women, let alone how to solve Xue'er, so she could only keep forcing her to cultivate and practice again.

When the first snowflakes fell in front of her eyes, Cher was deeply shocked.

Her name is Shen Yixue, but except for the heavy snow that only fell on the Providence Mountain Villa when she was born, she seems to have never seen a snowflake in her sixteen years.

The Holy Maiden Island chosen by Yan Rumei is far overseas, but the area is southern, which cannot be said to be hot all year round, but the coldest time is only a few days of continuous rain. When I left the Holy Maiden Island and arrived at the Providence Mountain Villa, it was even more impossible to see snowflakes because it was located on the border of the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that it was a hot summer.

And when he followed Xuanyuan Yu in Dongling Capital, it was only early autumn, and there was no snow to see. Therefore, this snow turned out to be the first snow she saw in the real sense.

When I think of my name, I can't help but think of my life experience, and then think of the conversation between him and Shan Zheng Lin Ruochan when he was in Providence Villa, and finally all kinds of doubts about Yan Rumei. Xue'er restrained all kinds of complicated emotions born because she thought of Xuanyuan, and asked Yan Rumei: "Yan Rumei, have you watched me grow up since childhood?" ”

Speaking hand, the girl stretched out her palm that was more crystal white than a snowflake, caught a snowflake falling from her eyes, and watched it instantly turn into a drop of crystal water in her palm, her small but plump red lips opened and closed slightly, and her tone was soft, as if she was asking a question that had nothing to do with her.

Yan Rumei was stunned for a moment, looked at Xue'er in confusion, and frowned: "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”

Xue'er's gaze was confused, and she didn't look at each other, and continued: "All the Sangong saints on the Holy Maiden Island were able to find their hometown relatives in the end, why don't I have any impression of this? “

Yan Rumei's brows furrowed tighter and tighter: "That's because when I brought you to the Holy Maiden Island, you were less than a year old, how could you have an impression?" “

"So you know who my parents are?" Cher continued to ask, "Who are they?" ”

Yan Rumei said: "When I was in the Providence Villa, Shan Zheng and his wife should have told you, why did they run in front of me and pretend to be confused?" ＂

Xue'er looked away and continued, "No, actually, I want to know how you snatched me from my parents. ”

Yan Rumei pursed her lips and debunked it directly: "What I really want to know, when and where did I snatch you from Shen Ao and his wife?" Even-"

She paused, her face slightly cold: "What you want to know more is the reason why I have to snatch you from Shen Ao and his wife and force you to cultivate, right?" ”

Xue'er pursed her lips, not embarrassed at all after being exposed, but smiled and said, "Then are you willing to tell me?" ”

"Of course!" Yan Rumei said, "But before you have to promise me one condition!" ”
