Desert Country.

On the snow-capped mountains.

In winter, the snow is fluttering, and the temperature in the mountains is even lower. As far as the eye can see, it is wrapped in silver, and the undulating mountains are like jade pillars of optimus, as if you can climb up to enter the Qionglou Yuyu, the heavenly palace. If you're not familiar with the path, it's easy to get lost in such a uniform landscape.

A man dressed in a brown coat walked slowly in the snow in the mountains.

He seemed to walk very slowly, one shallow step at a time. He seems to be wandering in the mountains and wilderness, free, no matter what the scenery around him, he is so patient and so comfortable. The sky and clouds and shadows passed by in a fluttering way, and he looked like an immortal who had wandered down from the cold palace in the height of the Nine Heavens, and his demeanor was ethereal and eternal.

In front of a crystal clear ice cube column, a woman is leaning on a red plum tree as bright as blood and drinking. She has a beautiful posture and beautiful color, and her body is wrapped in a white robe, and the sleeves of her silk sleeves are also snow-white underneath. Her black hair was lightly tied in a slanted bun, with a white and translucent ribbon tied on it, and a pair of white beads dangling from her earlobes, swinging on both sides of her cheeks. Her complexion is white and delicate, her ice muscles and jade bones, her eyebrows are picturesque, the curvature of her eyes is delicate and gentle, and her paint is like ink, and under her delicate nose is a small and light peach cherry lips.

She held a silver kettle in her right hand and a silver cup in her left hand, as if she was pouring herself a drink. The gaze seems to be looking at a certain place in front of it, and it seems to look farther and more ethereal through the things in front of you.

The brown-furred boy approached slowly, and stopped beside the lonely, increasingly colorful red plum tree on the snow-capped mountains. He asked very politely: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of going up the mountain, the girl went up the mountain first, have you ever seen the trace of the silver fox in the snow mountain?" This sound is like ice jade striking each other, which is unforgettable.

The woman turned her head slightly, glanced at him lightly, and asked lightly, "Can you drink a glass?" ”

The noble boy smiled, "It's the person who is greedy for the cup below, it's just ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the woman had already placed the silver cup in her hand on the plum branch, and poked out a snow-white sachet from her robe. The sachet is made of brocade, embroidered with four hairpins flowing ancient characters - "sea of clouds soaring", the embroidery is delicate and beautiful, comparable to the embroidery of the first embroidery lady Li Xuanji in the desert country. She took out a beautifully carved silver cup from this embroidery bag with a faint and cold pear blossom fragrance floating in the ice and snow. Placing the silver cup on the plum branch within the reach of the child, she filled the cup with sake.

The wine was fragrant, and the boy sniffed a new breath in the snow.

This is the first wine in the desert country, Acacia Snow.

The noble son smiled elegantly, and secretly said in his heart, this situation, this scene, this person, this wine, and there was a trace of fascinating rhyme for no reason.

The woman stopped talking, but poured a glass of wine and slowly sipped it herself. He put the cup back on the plum branch again, and then turned his head and asked him, "What is the use of the silver fox for the child?" ”

The noble son was graceful and said with a smile: "I bet with my friends and lost in Xia." He heard that the silver fox on this cliff mountain knows human nature and is very difficult to catch, so I will catch one and go back to him to take a look. ”

"Childe is true to his word, is it bound to win?" She asked faintly.

He nodded, "It seems to be." ”

The woman's gaze did not shy away from it, and fell directly on his face, slowly surveying him. A pair of eyes are the most outstanding, narrow and bright, with the tails raised upward, and the smile seems to be full of amber shine. The eyebrows are slender, which matches the eyes to the extreme, and the eyebrows are more beautiful and natural. The jade pillar of the nose is straight, but the tip of the nose is delicate, and the lining shows that the two lips are soft and curved. The forehead and the jaw are round, the contours are clear, and the black ink-like hair is loosely tied behind him with only a moon-yellow band, and the posture is very high, and the attitude is leisurely and casually leaning on the plum branches, as if coming to the wind and riding the wind away.

After retracting her gaze unhurriedly, she said, "In that case, when I see the silver fox later, I won't fight with Childe." It's just that after Childe lets his friends take a look, can the silver fox be handed over to me? ”

The noble prince smiled slightly, and didn't seem to care about her presumptuousness, but asked, "I don't know what the girl wants this silver fox for?" ”

The woman smiled faintly, "God has the virtue of a good life, the silver fox is clever and cute, I don't want its life, I just want to be a companion with it." ”

Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and he doesn't want its life, he just wants to be a companion with it, so he seems to be the one who deliberately appeared here to catch the silver fox for her?

How could she say it so naturally?

It's as if he and she are old people who haven't been seen for a long time—

In fact, they were only meeting for the first time, and the friendship between them was nothing more than she poured him a cup of "Acacia Snow", and he hadn't drunk it yet.

But the noble prince didn't care, picked up the wine glass on the plum branch, put it under the tip of his nose and tasted it lightly, put it back on the plum branch, and didn't drink it.

"Childe is afraid of poison?" The woman frowned and whispered.

"It's not." He smiled.

"Is that unwilling to come to a deal with me?" She asked.

"It's not!"

"That's?"

"No merit is not rewarded."

"Childe doesn't have the confidence to catch the silver fox?"

"Not really."

The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled: "I can help you, Son." With that, she took out a jade flute from her robe, carved from emerald green jasper, and held it in her hand, reflecting the snow-white skin on her hand as if it were transparent. Then he said: "I heard that the silver fox in this snow-capped mountain is not only humane, but also likes to sound and rhythm, smells fragrant, is good at drinking, and loves dancing. ”

The more you listened, the more magical you became, and you couldn't help asking, "In this way, you have become a master of the spirit?" ”

"I heard that this is true, but no one knows how it is." The woman smiled slightly, and took out a small and delicate incense burning jade stove from the sachet, about the size of the palm of her hand. She left the plum tree, walked all the way to the snow a hundred paces, set up the small incense burner, put another incense pill in it, and slowly lit it. In an instant, a fresh and refined fragrance slowly rose into the steaming water vapor, and the mist of the snow spread out together, creating a strange fragrance between the sky and the earth.

The woman got up and walked back, and about fifty paces she poured a jug full of a silver cup and laid it on the snow, and poured the other into the ground, and discarded it with the silver jug.

Finally, he returned to the plum tree and said to the noble son: "The bureau has been arranged, I wonder if the prince has no intention of obeying me to capture the silver fox?" ”

"How can I help you?" The noble prince raised his eyebrows, and asked with a kind smile on his beautiful face.

The woman only had the jade flute left in her hand, and she said: "Before the silver fox entered the game, it was extremely vigilant, if it saw you and me from a distance, I was afraid that it would not show up, then it would only be a failure." Childe must try to hide the smell and shape of his body so that he doesn't notice that there is a second person here. ”

"What's the girl's plan?" At this moment, the two faced each other, and only then did they see clearly that there was a knife mark on the other side of her face that destroyed the entire face, as if it was a trace of a dagger, but the noble son asked with a smile with a mouthful of white teeth, and there was a faction of obedience in his eyes.

The woman bowed her head, stared at him for a long time, and said, "Childe, would you like to be a snowman in this snowy mountain?" She asked him thoughtfully.

The noble prince was slightly stunned, and thought about it, it seems that in a clean and clear place like the snow mountain, it is possible to hide his own breath and escape the silver fox's keen sense of smell, and only by hiding in the ice and snow is possible. Seeing that his expression was moved,

The woman only glanced at it faintly and said, "Childe, please move to a place fifty steps away and come with me." ”

She was fifty paces ahead, and by chance fifty paces away from the place where she had poured her wine. Then, a pair of gentle and beautiful phoenix eyes looked at the noble son, and asked softly, "Does the prince need my help to build a snowman?" The silver fox is almost in the middle of the day to forage for food, and if Childe is not afraid of the cold, he can turn into a snowman as quickly as possible while lying in the snow. If Childe is not tolerant of the cold, we should be slower to stand and pile snow and make a snowman......" She thought for a moment, then changed her words: "Childe is still standing!" I don't know if this silver fox can be fooled, so as not to let the son suffer the cold. ”

Gui Gongzi looked at her eyes looking at him, smiled toothily again, and said, "Well, let's stand and shoot the snowman." ”

The woman saw that there was a hint of happiness and ridicule on his face, and she couldn't help but smile slightly, and said clearly: "Okay! ”

In such a turning point, the minds of the two seem to be closer again, and the estrangement between them seems to be a little less.

The two of them didn't say anything more, and together they rolled the snow in the snow into a ball and put it aside. Then the noble prince very cooperatively stood in the position she had guided, and let her pile the big snowballs at his feet and shoot them tightly. Then he piled the middle snowball on top of the big snowball, and piled it up against his clothes, until he was shoulder-high, and patted it tightly. Then wrap the smallest one around his neck and around the top of his hair, seal it, and shoot it tightly. At this moment, there is only one face left undisguised.

The woman looked at this tall and bloated snowman with a handsome face, smiled lightly, and said, "I've known each other for a long time, and I haven't asked my son's name yet?" ”

The noble son smiled idly, his whole body seemed to be sealed in the ice and snow with his hands and feet, and he never lost his noble demeanor, and replied in a low voice: "The surname of the contemptible person is Feng, the name is Changxue, and the person of Jingfeng is sealed." Dare to ask what is the girl's last name? ”

The woman smiled slightly, suddenly like a wind in the wind, and said in a clear voice: "The little woman's surname is Bai, her name is a sign of the palace, a sign of the palace Shang Yu, a man of the rivers and lakes." ”

Feng Changxue smiled slightly in her eyes, and whispered her name in a particularly meaningful tone: "Bai Zhengyan, it turned out to be you." ”
