The only sound left in her ears was the whistling wind, the icy chill and the fear of falling with nowhere to focus on her body. Instinctively close to the only source of heat, she hugged her body tightly in her arms......

The time of the fall was only a momentary effort, and then, in a dizziness, she heard a loud "bang" sound, and her body was dizzy from the impact force that followed. Feeling the cold wind that had surrounded her turn into a biting cold, she felt like a winter fish, and she couldn't tell whether she had been thrown into the icy water or into a boiling oil pot.

The body was about to fall apart, every skin, every bone was telling the word pain, and he was finally about to die, fortunately outside the palace. Thinking like this, Su Mi finally freed herself and fell into darkness......

In the haze, I seem to have returned to the past......

That year, she seemed to be only five years old, and once my father-in-law didn't know where to find a very rare fish, and her whole body was colorful and beautiful, and my father-in-law was very precious, so he kept it in the pond in the backyard and fed it with chestnut meat every day. I wanted to go and play with it, but my father-in-law said that the fish was very scared, so I couldn't peek at it, it would scare it. So, when her father-in-law and stepmother were not at home, she secretly ran into the pond in the backyard, wanting to take a look and play, but the fish dived very deep, and she desperately poked her head out, but she couldn't see it, and finally, a heel, she planted herself into the pond, it was the time of the moon, the water was really cold, and she tried hard to go upstream, climbing up, but when did the pond, which is usually too shallow, become so deep, she desperately stretched out her hand upward, but she couldn't touch the water. The pond that day was so cold, so cold, that she will never forget the cold and suffocating pain for the rest of her life.

Father, mother, father, mother, come and save me. She tried to scream loudly, but the cold water poured down her throat and she couldn't say a word. I just feel that my body is getting colder and colder, father-in-law, help me. Su Mi muttered unconsciously.

Suddenly, a warm breath approached her back, and she only felt that something hot was close to her, like a light source or a stove, and the heat began to emanate from her back, and soon flowed all over her limbs, warm and indescribably comfortable.

I remember that at that time, under the afterglow of the sunset, my father-in-law had just come back from collecting medicine in the mountains, and was shocked to find that she was gone, and hurriedly rummaged through the entire bamboo hut before finding himself who was almost drowned in the pond.

After that, the father-in-law carried the young her into the house in a panic, and the originally cold body immediately felt that it had entered a warm place, and then the hot palm was close to his young back, and it was the father-in-law who was driving away the cold for her with his martial arts internal strength.

The true qi of the stepfather flowed all over her body with a warm power, as if warm water surrounded her, and the nose was still mixed with the aroma of medicinal herbs, allowing her to recover from the cold at once.

Just like now, Su Mi instinctively thought about the heat source in the rear approaching.

I don't know how long it took, the darkness began to fade, and the consciousness began to appear clearly in my mind with the sharp pain all over my body, and I took control of my body again. Su Mi struggled to open his eyes, but his eyes seemed to be stuck to something, and he struggled for a long time before he saw a slight glimmer of light leaking in.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of pure black eyes, looking at himself fixedly, and when he saw Su Mi wake up, his eyes showed a color of ecstasy that could not be concealed.

In the haze, Su Mi looked at the gentle eyes full of care and joy, did she go back to the past? It's like when your stepfather looks at him.

Who is he? Su Mi tried her best to get her brain running, but with such a faint movement, she felt a burst of white light in her mind like a pinprick pain, and then she fainted again.

Su Mi's slightly opened eyes looked at him without focus, and her long eyelashes trembled, and then closed them again. With the simple opening and closing of this eyelash, Ni Tingxuan only felt that his heart had stopped beating with the same rhythm.

What to do?

He looked up, the two of them had just fallen off the cliff, and in mid-air he tried to grab something to stop the fall, but the withered vines in winter could not support the weight of the two men, and after several delays, the two of them still fell to the bottom of the cliff.

Thankfully, there was a lake at the bottom of this cliff, and the two fell into the lake, so they escaped with their lives.

He tried his best to hold Su Mi, and then struggled to swim to the shore, and barely found a cave and settled in. The last stab on his back that had been slashed by the Assassin was deep, and although it didn't hurt the vital point, and most of the damage was blocked by the close-fitting soft armor he wore inside, the burning pain of the wound held back his movements.

The water in early spring is still as cold as ice and snow, the two of them are drenched, surrounded by a desperate valley, and there is no fire, in this way, he has martial arts beside him, although he was injured, but he has used internal force to stop the bleeding, how to say that it can be supported for a long time, and Su Mi is just an ordinary woman, frightened and soaked in cold water, seeing the depth of her coma, I am afraid that it will not last a day.

You must let her wake up first, and if she continues like this, she will never be able to wake up, hearing Su Mi's breathing gradually weakening, Ni Tingxuan was anxious.

I thought that maybe these eyes would be closed forever, and I would never see the cold eyes under the black eyelashes again. Ni Tingxuan only felt that his heart was tight, and the suffocating pain he had never experienced was almost unbearable for his heart, and the injury to his back that was cut down did not seem to be so painful.

He lifted Su Mi's body and straightened it, his palms were tightly pressed against Su Mi's back, and the pure true qi was continuously injected into Su Mi's body.

Su Mi immediately felt her body warm up again.

Ni Tingxuan felt that the qi and blood in his body were surging, just now when he took Su Mi to the cave, he had already given her qi for treatment, so that Su Mi had a short period of lucidity, so that the method of mobilizing the vitality in the human body purely by relying on his own true qi consumed extremely internal force, if the other party was also a person with martial arts, it was okay, it could make the internal force of the two guide the operation, but Su Mi was an ordinary woman without martial arts. It was obviously a cold cave, but sweat drops began to appear on Ni Tingxuan's head.

When he barely held on to a stick of incense, he only felt that the knife-like feeling in his chest exploded, and he couldn't bear it anymore, the corners of his mouth suddenly overflowed with blood, and the scattered internal breath with a burning pain instantly rushed from the dantian to his limbs, and his body suddenly lost control and fell back weakly.

After a long battle, even the deepest internal strength is almost exhausted. At this time, the connection was forcibly crossed by Su Mi, and even a peerless master could not support it.

He held his breath for a moment, his body still couldn't move, and when he used his internal force slightly, he felt that his dantian was in severe pain, and he couldn't even lift a little bit of true qi. It is estimated that it was the forcible operation of the internal force just now that made him on the verge of going mad. He smiled bitterly, the internal injuries seemed to be getting worse again, and he didn't know if there was any hope of complete healing.

He held this position and took a few deep breaths, the weight of the injury turning his breathing into a terrible pain. After a moment of pranayama, his body finally began to regain some of his ability to move, and Ni Tingxuan supported half of his body and wanted to sit up. With a slight movement, the body that was leaning on his shoulder suddenly slipped into his arms.

The body that fell into his arms was as cold and soft as ice and snow, and Ni Tingxuan was suddenly stunned. Just now he lost his strength and fell, and Su Mi, who was originally supported by his palms, also fell, pressing on his shoulders, and at this time, because of his turning action, he fell into his arms.

Su Mi was lying calmly in his arms. She was still in a deep dizziness, her originally pale face showing an abnormal flush, and her black eyelashes, like butterfly wings, rested peacefully on the skin made of ice and snow. No matter how embarrassed or dignified, whether she is unconscious or awake, her temperament is always as cold and empty as a fairy.

Ni Tingxuan wanted to help her up, but as soon as his hand touched Su Mi, he suddenly couldn't help but tremble.

He looked at the person in his arms in a daze, he knew that he should leave far away immediately, even if it was an ambulance, it shouldn't touch her body, but. Ni Tingxuan immediately thought that when he met the assassin just now, at the moment of crisis, he didn't even think about it, he picked her up from the carriage, and the act of touching her back with his palm just now was already a great disrespect, and continuing to hold her in his arms like now, maintaining such an ambiguous posture, even if it was an extra moment, it was a crime that should be killed.

Thinking of the scene where she was held in her arms just now, even the bloody fight became warm.

He tried to push her away, but his hand didn't seem to be his own, but he hugged the delicate body in his arms tighter and tighter.

Under his hand, he touched the cold and delicate skin under the Luo shirt that was still a little wet, and the soft touch made his heart beat wildly.

Maybe I will never have the opportunity to get close to her like this in my life. His hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

An unpredictable force reigned over him, and he suddenly leaned down, his burning lips imprinted on the almost transparent flush of the concubine.

The feeling of coolness as pure as summer ice and snow came to his heart bit by bit, making him nostalgic for the warm cold sweetness, which seemed to coincide with the hottest temperature and the coldest pole, and seemed to be trying his best to use his own heat to warm the cold in his arms.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a moment, but for Ni Tingxuan, it was such a long life.

Suddenly, there was a soft cry, and Su Mi's body trembled slightly.

Ni Tingxuan suddenly raised his body as if he had been electrocuted.

What are you doing?! Realizing what he had just done, his face immediately turned red as if it were burning. Even the snow and ice around you can melt when it's hot.

With that soft cry, Su Mi woke up again.

She only felt that the warm and burning palm was pressed against her back again, warming her body, and then there was a warm touch in the darkness close to her, making her almost stiff regain consciousness.

Is it the stepfather who is by his side? By the way, she was just having a nightmare, there was nothing to break the city, and there was no Qi country, when she woke up, she would find that she was still staying in the bamboo hut in the mountains, and her father-in-law looked at her with gentle eyes, surrounded by her father, mother and sisters, who would tell themselves that she was just another accident and fell into the pond in winter. Fathers and mothers will prepare warm medicinal meals for themselves, delicious meals......

"Father-in-law," Su Mi whispered softly, opening her eyes tremblingly.

The first thing she saw was Junyi's deep facial features and eyes with a hint of panic and surprise, staring at herself with an astonishing heat, but when she met her gaze, it flickered, as if she was hiding from something.

Did she find out? He bowed his head weakly, barely daring to think about it.

A clear scene came into view, and Su Mi immediately closed her eyes helplessly.

Wake up from a dream! The warmth that had been in his sleep immediately moved away from him......

The past poured into Su Mi's tired mind like a tide, by the way, he was Ni Tingxuan, the deputy commander of the inner guard, and the person in charge of protecting himself this time. What's more, he is Ni Yuan's son.

It was as clear as the flow of water just now, but it immediately turned into a Jedi as cold and indifferent, still lying on the ground weakly, his face was still sick and desolate, but the soft lines became stiff, and a cold and glamorous meaning was revealed. That kind of look that was clearly guarded and vigilant made Ni Tingxuan want to look away from it, but he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Just a moment of possession makes me completely cowardly, and I dare not bear the pain of loss.

"Commander Ni, where is it now?" A faint voice rang out.

The subtle sound of "Commander Ni" pierced deep into his heart like a thunderbolt. He felt his breath stagnant. ，

"It's ...... under the cliff now" Ni Tingxuan's voice carried a trace of trembling and forcibly suppressed pain, as well as unspeakable embarrassment.

Su Mi didn't pay attention to his face, even if she did, she couldn't raise the slightest doubt when she was tired, looking at his slightly red cheeks, Su Mi turned her head, she dreamed of her father-in-law again just now, and she dreamed of when she was young, in the days of winter, because that time she accidentally fell into the pond. The father-in-law rescued himself and used his internal strength to help him keep warm, so comfortable.

Later, when she woke up and asked about the beautiful fish again, she learned that when she was recuperating by herself, her stepmother stewed the culprit into fish soup and let herself eat it. Although the father-in-law was very distressed, saying that this is a rare glass colorful fish that should be used to refine medicine, and it is really a terrible thing to stew soup like this, but he still did not object to washing and peeling it and sending it into the pot, but, to tell the truth, although it looks like a beautiful color, it doesn't taste so delicious......

Thinking of her relatives, a soft smile appeared on Su Mi's face, Ni Tingxuan looked at Su Mi in a daze, what was she thinking? Although her eyes were on this side, her eyes had already passed through herself, through the dark mountain wall, drifting into the distance.

The dream just now is really a rare reality, and even the touch of my own warm palm clinging to the master's hand seems to be clear. Su Mi's mind soared, it was really a good dream, but it was a pity that it was too short.

A cold wind blew in, and the empty cave did not have the slightest cover to avoid it, the cold made the bodies of both of them tremble, Ni Tingxuan felt that the chest and back were as sharp as tearing, and when he got up just now, the force was too strong, so that the wound on his back cracked again.

Su Mi also came to her senses, and she tried her best to turn her head to look around, but such a simple action almost exhausted all her strength.

Ni Tingxuan saw it in his eyes and wanted to step forward to help, but his hand stopped halfway through, and Su Mi's weak coquettishness revealed an inviolable posture of ice and snow. Like an invisible wall, it stood between the two of them.

Su Mi rolled her eyes to look at the four walls of the dark brown rocks around her, this was just an ordinary cave, and her eyes passed through the cave entrance again, landing on the sparkling water in the distance.

It's really fateful, she smiled bitterly. You can't die if you fall off a cliff like this.

However, maybe the good luck is only temporary, she can clearly feel that her vitality is passing quickly, her cheeks are amazingly hot, she is feverish, the clothes on her body are cold as if they are stuffed with ice and snow, so that her hot body can't stop shaking, according to her physique, if as expected, at most a day or two of hard work, no, there is not even fire and food at the moment, I am afraid it will not be able to support even a day.

Hearing Su Mi's breathing gradually getting worse and shorter, Ni Tingxuan immediately realized that her body was probably about to be unable to support it, what should she do?

The matter of going to Hanshan Temple to worship has already been notified to the temple, and the concubine car that was supposed to arrive suddenly disappeared, I believe that someone will come out to search for it immediately, and the traces of the fierce battle on the mountain road cannot be concealed, but if you want to find the bottom of this cliff, it will take at least a day or two of effort, and at the same time as entering the cave, he glanced around, it seems to be a desperate valley, and the four walls are cliffs, and it is not easy to come down to rescue.

Can't wait any longer, looking at Su Mi, she has to find a way out by herself, she can't last a day.

"I'll go out and get something to eat." He made a clumsy excuse as he fled out of the cave.

Su Mi's eyes fell on the bloodstained figure, the wound on his back cracked open again, and the blood oozed out, but he was in a trance. The blood soaked most of the samurai clothes, and there were still damages on them after the fierce battle, which made the original delicate and heroic clothes become tattered, and only the middle coat was on his body, Su Mi realized that his original cloak and coat were covering his body at this time. There were still streaks of blood on it, and I don't know if it was his own or the enemy's.

A trace of warmth could not help but appear in her heart, and then a guilty self-reproach enveloped her, and she suddenly had an urge to throw the clothes on her body far away, but her arms did not even have the strength to lift them.

The taste of waiting for death is really uncomfortable, Su Mi looked at the top of the cave blankly.
