The night faded, the clouds thinned, and the dawn descended on the earth.

The snow finally stopped, and the gray sky gradually revealed a brilliant light.

The snow below the mountain is melting, creating a small ocean that buries the dwarf grass roots.

There was a heavy breathing sound, and the heat enveloped the face of the painter to form a fine vapor.

She felt her breath struggle and rolled over stiffly, slowly becoming conscious.

She stretched out her hand in surprise and groped around, groping her healthy body, and suddenly smiled helplessly. It turns out she's not dead yet!

The original joke of nine lives seemed to be right for her.

No, there seems to be another person next to me!

She could clearly feel his heavy breathing, and it was directly in front of her, even a few centimeters away.

Hua Yan curled up vigilantly and sat up slowly.

There was also a noise on the other side, and he was wandering left and right, no one's footsteps, but the crisp sound of a dog's paw plowing the ground.

Could it be, wolf?!

Hua Yan thought that he was in the deep mountains and dense forests, and wild animals must be infested in groups, and wolves were the most common.

She became more and more alarmed, and her hands kept fumbling for defensive weapons to the sides. A small wooden stick was pulled in her hand.

Sure enough, a sharp wolf howl pierced the sky.

That voice is in the ears of Huayan!

But if it really wanted to kill itself, it should have been left with no bones left, how could it still live until now?

It was covered with snow all around, and even if you fell off a cliff and didn't die, you would freeze to death. And she didn't have the slightest trace of being frozen.

Could it be that the feeling of being weighed down just now is actually that it uses its body to resist the cold for itself?

Thinking of this, Hua Yan gradually relaxed his vigilance. She reached out boldly, blankly. A massive, furry object instantly pounced on her embrace.

Her face was licked by a wet tongue, as if she was also rejoicing in the sudden resurrection of her companion from the dead.

The painting was startled at first, and then burst into tears.

She has mixed feelings, she is known as a wolf for her ferocity, and she will sacrifice her life to save mankind. At this point, some people are not even as good as wolves.

Humans may be higher than wolves, but wolves are nobler than humans.

Hua Yan couldn't help but say to it excitedly: "Thank you for saving me, we will be a family in the future, living together in this deep mountain, and not going anywhere, okay?" ”

The wolf was born spiritual, as if he could understand her words, and he roared and kept surrounding her.

"Snow, this is your name in the future, do you like it?" Hua Yan happily stroked its fluff and asked in a friendly tone.

The wolf felt the intimacy of the painting, and pressed her cheeks again.

"In the future, I will be your sister, and we will depend on each other for the rest of our lives." There was some sourness in her voice, but she didn't want to think about it, and she was only immersed in the joy of getting acquainted with her new family.

A cold wind blew, causing injuries on her body and causing her to cough incessantly.

Xue sensed the discomfort on Huayan's body and circled around her anxiously.

Hua Yan endured the pain on her body and comforted softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." She finished with difficulty, and another violent cough.

The snow couldn't bear it anymore, but she turned and ran away.

"Snow! Where are you going? Come back! Hua Yan stood up at a loss, didn't take a few steps, fell down hard, and fainted.

In the cave, the sound of water droplets dripping continued to sound, and the hideous and huge snow pillars were melting little by little.

When Hua Yan woke up again, the hot fluff returned to her.

Hua Yan asked in surprise: "Xue, are you back?" ”

Snow leaned in on her affectionately in reply. At the same time, a heavy and fragrant burden was placed in the hand of the painter.

In surprise, Huayan fumbled to open the baggage and sniffed it, "Meat? ”

It turned out that Xue was looking for food for her.

Huayan patted Xue with relief, "I'm glad to have you!" She split the food in half and handed one to Snow. The snow doesn't eat, and it is pushed back again.

As she devoured it, she was moved to tears. Her only thought at the moment was to live.

But this meaty smell seems to be a little wrong. She couldn't tell which kind of beef or chicken it was, but she felt that the tender meat smelled of medicinal herbs.

Her empty stomach was no longer enough for her to think about, and in a few moments, she had eaten up all the food that the snow had brought.

I don't know if it was the feeling of satiety that lifted her spirits, or because of the warmth brought to her by the snow with the temperature of her body, she felt that the meridians in her body became active and powerful.

After a full stomach, she hugged the snow and entered her dream peacefully.

For several days, he spent his time in this cave, and at the same time in the afternoon, the snow would carry a burden of cooked meat.

Gradually, Hua Yan felt that she had regained her mental and physical strength, and was able to walk like a normal person.

However, this afternoon, the snow did not return to the cave on time. Night is gradually falling, and the surrounding birds and insects also sound their night chirps.

"Where the hell did the snow go? Will there be any danger? ......" Huayan groped her way to the edge of the cave, anxiously thinking, looking forward to it, even though she couldn't see anything.

"It's my sister who is useless, not only can't I protect you, but I also have to rely on you to save me......" Huayan thought to herself, and a sore feeling surged in her heart. She couldn't wait any longer, groping to go out and look for snow, she couldn't imagine if she would survive without it.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps and clothes rustling in front of me.

Someone's coming?! Hua Yan lost his eyes and his ears became extremely sensitive.

"Girl, why are you alone in this deep mountain forest?" An old voice rang out.

Hua Yan took a few steps back vigilantly, "Who are you?!" ”

The sound of "Ao Gull" snow sounded on the side.

Instinctively, Hua Yan pulled out the wooden stick he was carrying, pointed angrily and blankly ahead, and asked, "What happened to your snow?!" If you dare to hurt a single hair, I will kill you!" ”

The other party laughed, and still said in a gentle voice: "The girl misunderstood." The old man is just a medicine collector, not a hunter in the mountains. ”

Hua Yan breathed a sigh of relief and put down the stick, "I'm sorry ......"

After sniffing at the old man, Snow regained his foot.

Hua Yan couldn't help but reprimanded worriedly: "Xue, where have you been?" Why did you come back at this time? If you get lost, what will your sister do? As he spoke, tears flowed down his cheeks. In the deep mountains, snow is really the only one for her.

The man on the other side smiled and said, "The girl and the wolf get along so well." The old man has lived for a hundred years, and it is the first time he has seen it. This wolf is extremely psychic, and this time, it is also it that guides me all the way to find you. ”

"You said it was Snow that asked you to come to me?" Hua Yan asked in surprise.

The old master stroked his white beard and smiled lively: "Not really! If it hadn't come to me in the afternoon to steal meat and be noticed by me, the old man would never have imagined that the meat stewed in this medicine furnace every day was actually taken away by a wolf. It must have noticed that my medicine was working on you, so it came and bit my sleeve in every possible way, and asked me to come and find you. This wolf is even smarter than a man! ”

Hua Yan recalled that the food that Xue had found in the past few days had indeed smoked a strong smell of medicinal herbs, and he suddenly felt sorry in his heart, "Xue stole the old master's things to save me." Please don't hurt it, old master, and I'll take care of everything. ”

The old master smiled kindly, "That's it." The old man's refining of medicine was originally to save people, but this medicinal food was not wasted by it, but to save you, which is also a good deed. ”

Hua Yan leaned over gratefully, "Thank you, old master." The old master was merciful, and he was destined to be blessed one day. ”

The old master glanced at the painting in surprise, "Looking at the girl's style, it looks like an official eunuch in the city?" ”

Hua Yan was stunned, shook his head and said: "The little woman has no father or mother, and she is already a wanderer. I just hope to spend the rest of my life with my Xue'er in this mountain forest. But I am afraid that the time of joy like this will not be very long......"

The old master sighed: "I see that although the injury in the girl's eyes has eased, she still cannot let her guard down. What's more, the girl's breath is weak, her vitality is greatly damaged, and she can't stay in this wilderness. It's better to go to the old man's cottage and settle down temporarily. The old man is a medicine farmer and a healer. Maybe the old man can take care of your illness a little. ”

"Get out of here?" Huayan hesitated, after so many things, she was extremely afraid of humans. But the old master in front of her, with his peaceful and charitable bearing, made her extremely relieved.

If you want to live, you have to do what he says. Huayan thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement, "Old master, please let my snow go with me?" ”

"What's so hard about this, okay, come with me." The old master picked up the wooden stick in Hua Yan's hand and used it as a tool to guide her.

I went around and around along the way, and finally came to the old master's cottage halfway up the mountainside.

Pushing open the door, a strong but pleasant medicinal fragrance filled the entire grass house.

Following the guidance of the old master, he sat down tremblingly. The thin clothes on her body were not enough to withstand the cold, and her hands and feet had already been frozen red and purple along the way.

A steaming glass of water was placed in Hua Yan's hand. "Freezing, huh? Slowly drank this cup of tea to ward off the cold. The old master said, and brought a rough cloak to put on the painting.

Hua Yan sniffed the tea in the cup and smiled, "It's licorice Chuanbei tea." ”

"The girl knows these herbs?" The old master took a small stove, put it at Huayan's feet, and asked.

"I used to know one or two from my master, but I was too lazy and never learned well." Painted face comfortably thinks about the past, smiling.

A simple teacup with heat warmed up Huayan's heart, and the heart that was frozen was gradually awakening.

"How did the girl get here? What is the last name? Where do you live? The old master walked to the medicine stove on the side and asked as he fanned the fire.

Hua Yan bowed his head gloomily and remained silent.

The old master seemed to understand something, and no longer asked. He poured out a bowl of potion from the medicine furnace and carefully placed it on Hua Yan's hand. "This medicine is specially made for you, and it will be of great help to your internal injuries, so drink it quickly."

Hua Yan took the decoction, smelled it, no longer hesitated, and immediately drank it. She returned the empty bowl and asked hesitantly, "Old Master, can the wound on my body be healed?" ”

The old master was silent for a while, and then replied, "It is a miracle that the girl was seriously injured and still survived. The old man believes that there will be miracles. ”

Hua Yan understood the implicit meaning of the old master's words, smiled calmly, and no longer asked.

Hua Yan stood up and felt in the grass house, wanting to explore the surrounding scene, she asked, "How can the old master live alone in this deep mountain?" ”

"The old man doesn't like to be noisy, and would rather hide in this deep mountain to do medicinal research." The old master replied while boiling the medicine.

"Dare to ask the old master's name?"

"The old man has lived in this Langya Mountain for decades, and there is a large area of fairy grass, so the mountain people here are used to calling the old man fairy grass. The old man's real name is Bai, and his surname is Baizhu. The old master fanned the fire, his eyes wandered out of the window, as if he had recalled all the memories of the past.

Hua Yan groped back to sit down by the stove and said with a smile: "My third master is also surnamed Bai, and he is also a doctor. ”

The old man Xianmao asked with interest, "Oh? This surname has historically been rare. What's his name? ”

"Bai Chou, because he is handsome, has good medical skills, and is loved by the villagers, he has won the title of jade-faced miracle doctor." Hua Yan said with a smile, stuck in the good memories of the past.

"White clown? Hahaha, no coincidence is not a book, it seems that the old man is destined to save you. The old man shook his head and smiled.

Huayan asked, "Does the old master recognize my third master?" ”

The old man of Xianmao brushed his long beard and said, "Don't you recognize, the first person he learned was under my door." He is the son of my deceased third brother, my nephew! ”
