Chapter 1: Drifting Snow

Next Chapter

The pillow has been cold, and the window is bright again.

I know that the snow is heavy at night, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo.

It has been half a month since Mi Piaoxue crossed over, she was the youngest daughter of the Mi family, she was weak since she was a child, other children and two brothers can play outside, and she can only stay in the room.

She has hemophilia, also known as brittle bone disease, hemophilia patients are called glass people, this is because they are as fragile as glass, an accidental bump in life, it may cause serious consequences of bleeding, often in childhood to suppress the lively nature, can not run, can not jump, can only sit very quietly to study, serious patients, need to be in a wheelchair for life. Mi Piaoxue has two older brothers, her parents are ordinary workers, but they love Piaoxue very much, buy her a lot of toys and books, Piaoxue rarely goes out, her face is pale and transparent because she has not seen the sun for a long time, her eyes are black and bright, she has read a lot of books, envy a healthy life, and finally when she went to pick up the books that fell on the ground, she fell and bled nonstop, and when her family found out, she passed away, she was sixteen years old that year.

When Mi Piaoxue opened her eyes, she thought that she would go to heaven, God had made her suffer for sixteen years, and she must have been an angel in a fairy tale, but she was wrong, when she opened her eyes, it was a dilapidated house, she was lying on the cold bed, and there were snowflakes falling from time to time on the mottled roof, she stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake, and watched the crystal snowflakes slowly melt in her hands...... No, she doesn't seem to be dead.

Mi Piaoxue struggled to sit up, her head was splitting, there was a lot of information fighting in her head, she covered her head and gasped, finally calmed down, and her eyes slowly opened. It turned out that God favored her, when she died, she was found to have not finished her life, in order to shirk her responsibility, black and white impermanence pushed her down to the mortal world at will on the way, she went to the ancient country of rest, was a child who was picked up by the villagers, because the village goddess calculated that she was unknown, was thrown into a broken grass house to live, presumably the original owner was cold and hungry and left the world, she happened to pass through the rebirth, the name is the same as her in the previous life called Mi Piaoxue, she has been living in this resting country ice and snow village for six years, although she is weak, it is because of congenital deficiency and hunger and cold, absolutely no longer a glass person, there is no brittle bone disease that makes her fatal。

Mi Piaoxue didn't complain about being able to go out to collect firewood, to be able to go to the fields to pick up the snow and pick up the fallen grain, the house was leaking around, and the coarse cloth clothes on her body didn't complain, after all, she was healthy except for the dizziness of hunger, what is more valuable than health?

Rest country, ice and snow village, I don't know which dynasty and which generation, most of the people in the village are surnamed An, it snows for most of the year, the people in the village live in the mountain recess, only she lives on the hillside, a lonely thatched hut, surrounded by bamboo forests, there is a stream around the bamboo forest to flow down the mountain, the stream is murmuring, actually exuding a steaming white mist, if there is no water, presumably Mi Piaoxue will not survive, because when there is no food, she will fill her hunger with water, although it is not disabled, it is better than the stomach because there is nothing to feel uncomfortable.

Although Mi Piaoxue is only sixteen years old, she has loved reading since she was a child, and never forgets, her hometown is in a small town in the south, and she has always longed for the snow in the north, but she did not expect to cross into such an ice and snow village, and the front of the house is also full of bamboo, her favorite song "Night Snow" by Bai Juyi, finally has a source.

"Drifting snow, drifting snow, are you at home?" Outside the house, there was a shout of Aunt An, Mi Piaoxue was picked up by Aunt An when she went to the market, she and An Ren husband and wife were harmonious, but there have been no children, she originally intended to adopt this thin and well-behaved girl, but I didn't expect Mi Piaoxue to only live in her house for a few days, An Ren and the people in the village went out hunting, accidentally fell into the ice cave, and never came up, the goddess said that it was because of the adoption of Mi Piaoxue, Aunt An cried bitterly for three days, and finally under the persuasion of the village chief, Mi Piaoxue was sent to the bamboo forest to live alone, but Aunt An did not complain about Piaoxue because of An Ren's death, every few days, she would always secretly send some food, but what she didn't know was, The little beggar she picked up, Mi Piaoxue, is dead, and now this Mi Piaoxue is no longer the Mi Piaoxue who pulls her to cry and beg her to take her back to the village every time.

"Aunt An, you are here, the snow is so heavy, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, you don't have to come all the time. Mi Piaoxue sorted out the memories of the original owner, opened the door, and saw the people in the ice and snow village for the first time.

"I was sick some time ago, and I haven't come up to see you, is there nothing to eat at home, good boy, I'm thin again, I'm sorry for you......" Aunt An saw that Mi Piaoxue's face was pale, and there seemed to be only a pair of big black eyes left on her little face, and she said sadly.

"Are you sick? What are you sick about? Are you feeling better now?" Mi Piaoxue took the basket that Aunt An was carrying and helped Aunt An into the house.

Aunt An looked at the house, although the house was dilapidated, but it was cleaned up very neatly, there were a few ventilated places that were plugged with thatch, and the kitchen stove was neatly piled with dry branches, she raised her head and saw Mi Piaoxue standing in front of her, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and her face was full of concern, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"Piaoxue, I haven't come up to bring you food for so long, how are you doing?

"I would go to the mountains to collect firewood, I would go to the fields to collect the fallen grain, and I also made a few small traps to catch some bamboo rats, and I didn't go too hungry. ”

"You catch bamboo rats and eat it? You can't eat that thing, my poor child, it seems that you are hungry and stupid, do you have abdominal pain? Is there anything uncomfortable in your body?" Aunt An didn't care about her doubts, stood up, grabbed Mi Piaoxue's hand and looked at her.

"Auntie, I'm fine, bamboo rats are delicious, but they are too cunning to catch, next time I catch one for you, I'll make it for you to eat." Mi Piaoxue's voice was a little choked, it was rare that there was someone who cared about her in this other world.

"Good boy, my aunt brought you something to eat, don't catch bamboo rats to eat, I will be able to make embroidery when I am well, and when I change money, I will send you food." Aunt An opened the flower cloth on the basket and took out a small jar of salt, a jar of home-made soybean paste, some cornmeal and a bowl of white things.

"This is meat oil, when you make a little less paste, it is very fragrant, because I am sick, the village chief brought a piece of meat when he came to see me, I made it into meat oil, these are enough for you to eat for a few days, and when the eldest lady makes money, she will buy you sugar gourds to eat." Aunt An put the food on the only broken table in the house, and looked at Mi Piaoxue with a smile.

"Auntie, thank you! Piaoxue has been taking care of you for so many years, you can rest assured, when spring comes, I will find a way to make money, and I will buy you delicious food when the time comes." ”

"We Piaoxue has finally grown up, sensible, and it is not in vain that the eldest lady brought you back from the market, you live in the bamboo forest well, and when I save the money, I will go to ask the goddess to let her allow you to go down the mountain, and we will not be separated in the future." ”

"Aunt ......" Mi Piaoxue finally couldn't help but cry bitterly in Aunt An's arms, she cried her parents in her previous life, cried that she was no longer a glass person, cried that Aunt An was kind to her, cried that she never knew how to start a fire to cook to barely fill her stomach, Mi Piaoxue, you will live well.
