Chapter 76 of Volume 8: Empty Mountain Snow Silence

The four seasons of the year, in my eyes, monotonously walked through again and again. I don't think it's beautiful anymore. Because there is no one here but me.

Mom is gone, she's busy. Uncle Yu Tong is also gone, and he is also very busy. But when they come back, they bring me a lot of good things to eat and play.

But I'm still lonely. Because I'm the only one here. What accompanied me was a little rabbit at the beginning, a very cute and docile little rabbit. It's clingy, squeaks and screams when you look at me.

It should be as lonely as I am, right?

However, one day, it lay in its nest and never woke up.

It's dead!

I was so sad, really sad that the only friend who had been with me for many years, died like this.

I held its body in my arms, walked to the back of the cabin, and gave it a funeral that only I knew about.

I crouched next to the grave that had been dug and watched the corpse of the little rabbit weep silently alone.

Looking at its corpse, I suddenly realized that it was no longer the petite rabbit it used to be, nor was it the vigorous rabbit it used to be, its fur was dull and dead to ashes. I remember, it seems that for a long time lately, it has stopped moving, it is no longer as fast as it used to be, and it is no longer capable of chasing and playing with me on the meadow.

In an instant, I figured it out.

It turns out that the little rabbit has grown old unconsciously, and it has gone through its life...... A lonely life!

In this life, there is only me, and there are no other rabbits.

It has accompanied me for many years with its own life.

I couldn't help but cry out, crying very sadly.

It's like losing one of your best friends forever.

The little rabbit died, and for a long time I couldn't lift my spirits, and I didn't want to go anywhere, but just sat on the steps in front of the cabin, and silently watched as it rose and fell; Just look at the ice and snow on the snowy mountains, thick and thin, thin and thick, and watch the snow-capped mountains turn from white to black, and from black to white. Many more years have passed!

I sat like this, and no one cared about me, because my mother was not there, and Uncle Yu Tong was not there, and they were all very busy.

Later, I had a very cute puppy, white, with dragging ears, round eyes, fluttering, very cute.

I call it Xiaoxue...... And myself a name!

I'm as lonely as it is.

Originally, I didn't plan to raise any more small animals, because I still remember the rabbit named Little Gray Gray. It's lonely, but it should go back to nature. But my selfishness left it alone for the rest of its life.

Xiaoxue is a very poor dog, he was abandoned by his mother, or what happened to his mother.

On that day, it trembled through the circle of bitter trees, and its little feet stepped on the cold white snow, and appeared pitifully in front of the cabin.

It was really pitiful, its little body curled up in a ball because of the cold, and it couldn't stop shivering in the snow. Poor but wary looked at me.

What a sad thing for a child to have without the warm embrace of his mother.

Similarly, a puppy without a mother is really pitiful.

I saw it, and I saw the helpless stare in the depths of its eyes.

I thought of myself.

I took out the jerky from the kitchen that I hadn't finished eating, tore it up little by little, and put it in front of Xiaoxue.

It looked at me curiously, sniffed the jerky in the snow, and then ate it carefully.

The more it eats, the faster it gets, and it's not afraid of me anymore.

When it finished eating, it stuck out its pink tongue and licked my hand.

It's itchy!

I stood up and was happy. The shadow of Little Ash's death soon faded.

From that time on, Xiaoxue became my playmate again.

Gradually, it also grows up, snow-white and very beautiful.

But I knew it should be gone. Because it doesn't belong to me, it doesn't belong to this chalet, it belongs to nature!

The tragedy of Little Gray Ash, I can't let it happen to Xiao Xue again.

So, after it was able to forage in the wild, I asked Uncle Yu Tong to send it away.

I was very sad, but I was also very happy, and I threw myself on the windowsill and cried for a long time, watching Uncle Yu Tong send it away.

I thought I'd never see Yuki again.

The next morning, when I opened the door of the cabin, I suddenly saw a white shadow hovering outside the bitter tree, whining. It seems to be crying, and it seems to be complaining, and even questioning. It seems to be asking me: Why did you drive me away? Why are you stopping me out again?

It's light snow!

It actually came back on its own.

I was taken aback and overjoyed, ran to the edge of the bitter tree, looked at it, and asked, "Why did you come back again?" ”

It whined, and its eyes lit up with delight.

It tried to get in through the gap between the bitter trees, but it couldn't, it had grown up, and it was no longer the little dog in the snow that it used to be.

I opened the door, and it cheered and rushed in, rubbing my calf affectionately.

I can't bother to chase it away anymore!

Xiaoxue has made this place her home.

In the company of Xiaoxue, I spent many more years.

It wasn't until one afternoon, lying in the grass basking in the sun, that I realized that it was ...... It's old too......

I cried, and I knew I was going through another parting of life and death.

I hugged Xiaoxue, and I couldn't stop my tears, just like a stream in the back mountain.

Tears continued to slide down my face, wetting a large patch of Xiaoxue's beautiful hair.

It looked at me with disgust and stuck out its tongue to lick my hand, as if to comfort me.

I don't think it's clear why people go through so much life and death!

That day, I said a lot to the little snow. It listened in silence, and I don't know if it understood.

But the next day, Xiaoxue was gone! It didn't say goodbye to me, and a "person" disappeared into the vast forest.

Xiaoxue is gone, and from that day on, it has not been seen again.

I looked at the snowy mountains and the snow on the meadows.

That year, it was also a snowy day, and Xiaoxue was still so petite, appearing alone in the icy snow.

Xiaoxue is gone, she is really gone.

I stood alone on the steps in a trench coat, looking at the white snow on the meadow, trying to find the footprints of the little snow.

But there is none, there is nothing. Its footprints have been covered with freshly fallen snow. In the white snow, I seemed to see the little snow again, and its sparkling eyes were looking at me pitifully.

A person's life...... Is that the case?

Endure parting, can't bear but parting......

I was once again a lonely little snow.

Mother appears less often, and Uncle Yu Tong has less time to come back.

On the lonely snowy mountain, there is only one lonely little snow!

I'm no longer satisfied with what they bring back to me. Because...... I've grown up! I'm the little girl who can solve all my problems just by eating!

The day Xiaoxue left was also the day when I realized for the first time that I had grown up.

I'm the only one on the mountain, and I'm living a life with a pure heart and few desires, so I don't have the concept of growth at all!

In the midst of such a dull day, that lively and cute, mischievous little snow is gone, and I have become a cold, indifferent, and non-talkative little snow! I don't like this "little" kid anymore, so I prefer to be called "Ah Xue" by others!

That day, I stood in the snow and watched the bright but warm sun in the west. Snowflakes kept falling over my head and onto my coat.

Very crystalline, nice snowflakes.

That's who I am, because I'm the snow!

I stretched out my hand to pat the snowflakes off my hair, but the green silk in my eyes made me stunned.

Before I knew it, my hair had grown long, long and hung down to my waist. I'm no longer the little girl with pigtails I was when I was a kid. My cousin also called me Dragonfly because my pigtails resembled dragonfly wings.

My hair is down to my waist.

It's no longer the yellow it used to be, it's jet black. I'm no longer the yellow-haired little girl I used to be.

I've grown up!

Grown into a girl!

I was eighteen years old!

I became an adult, and it seemed that in just a moment, I had grown from that ignorant little girl to a slim girl.

It was from that day that I began to notice changes in my body, and I understood what I didn't understand before!

I'm going out!

This wish has always been buried in my heart, but the problem in front of me is to defeat a wolf with my bare hands!

I looked into the distance, and this time, I was confident enough to defeat a wolf.

Because I am no longer the little girl I used to be, the little girl who only spoils in my mother's arms, the little girl who only hides behind the adult's back when she is in danger.

I've grown up and I'm going to learn to take it on my own. I want to be like my mother and become strong.

I still remember those years in the clan, and I still remember the days when my mother endured humiliation and burden. In the past ten years in the mountains, the life of pure heart and few desires has not completely wiped out the hatred of my childhood.

At that time, I was young, and I couldn't figure out many things, but now...... It's different.

There are some things that should be solved.

I know that Wu Zhi will not let me go, let alone let my mother go.

He won't let us go, so why should we let him go?

The Qingling Box is still in my hand, and it is still as simple and beautiful as it was thirteen years ago. But the difference is that now that I, I have learned the method of driving the Green Spirit Box, and I have also learned the method of driving the Spirit Snake Flame Order Silver Order.

But I know there's one thing I'm missing, and that's the power of the moon!

For thirteen years, the power of Ling Yue had taken shape in my body. There is only one chance of activation.

But my mother told me that it was very difficult to activate the power of the moon! It's hard to climb!

Because this is going to a very dangerous and mysterious place: the Hidden Cloud Palace!

Mother didn't know it was there.

Therefore, many years ago, my mother resolutely gave up the power of Ling Yue in me and changed to other ways to defeat Wu Zhi's disgusting old man.

Of course, when I say he's disgusting, it's not because of his face. It's because he's a pervert!

He's a pedophile! Do a lot of dirty things. He also likes to watch young men and women get together for particularly obscene events.

What is he not a pervert?

In addition, there are some unreasonable rules. What to say, in order to prevent the blood from leaking, it is forbidden for people in the clan to marry with people outside.

But how can people not get married? As a result, there was a phenomenon of intermarriage between people in the clan and people in the clan, which became a marriage between close relatives!

At this time, recessive pathogenic genes appear. When two alleles of recessive pathogenic genes touch together, they do not have recessiveness, and the disease occurs.

So, there are a lot of deformed children in the family! There are also many people who have strange diseases that can never be cured.

It was pathetic to look at them when I was a kid, and I didn't understand that this was the case, but now that I'm older. I also understand the cause and effect.

Of course, my mother also told me that among my ancestors, there were also cases of consanguineous marriages. But that's not the same as today. That's forced to do it!

When the ancestors got married, it was necessary to integrate all the excellent genes into a person's body according to the genetic map left by the ancestors.

And this person is me: the sacrifice spirit!

Like Wei Ling, something similar had happened to their clan, but they were lucky that their Council of Elders was still running healthily, and they didn't have a perverted patriarch!

And we...... But for a high-sounding reason...... Cursed for a lifetime to prevent blood from leaking!

Not bad! This is a curse, a curse to innocent children who have genetic diseases! This nightmarish curse will follow them for the rest of their lives until they grow old and die.

Fortunately, I didn't fall under this curse, and I was eighteen years old, but I was still a healthy child.

For this, I want to thank my mother, and my father.

For me, the day goes by quickly.

The day I was looking forward to finally came.

Mother is back...... She is still so beautiful, but there is an extra layer of vicissitudes between her eyebrows. Uncle Yu Tong is also back, he is still like that, with a hairy beard. Many times, I have been thinking about the question: With so much beard on his face, is he not hot?

This question seems a bit ridiculous!

Uncle Yu Tong is always very mysterious. No one knows what he's doing. But I know he has a habit: he likes to sleep on trees, and when he has nothing to do, he sits on the trunk and stares at a painting in a daze.

I didn't know what the painting in his hand was about, and I wanted to go over and peek at it, but every time I didn't get close enough to find it, and then the scroll disappeared as soon as it was scrolled. No matter how much I looked, I couldn't find him, he was a very strange person.

But I ended up seeing what was on the scroll!

On that occasion, when he came back from outside, he seemed very sad, and jumped into a tree alone with a jar of wine in his arms, and drank all day of suffocating wine. His mother persuaded him several times, but he didn't listen.

Later, his mother drank it from him.

That night, he got drunk and fell asleep on the trunk of a tree.

I cautiously climbed up and saw the scroll in his arms!

Curious, I tried to twitch the scroll, but he didn't react, snoring like thunder.
