"Oh, who would build the snowman?" said Xiaobai.

"This snowman should have been built in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Too early for not enough snow, too late for the newly fallen snowflakes not enough to cover the footprints. Yesterday none of us paid close attention to this place, and even if there were footprints, we would mistake them for our own people, and now that the snow has melted, we can't see it. I said.

"Well..."Xiaobai walked back from the snowman, the fox's head was lowered, as if in contemplation, after thinking for a long time, he woke up and said, "Brother means, this snowman was built by those murderers?"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes." Otherwise, it seems that there is no other explanation for a while. ”

Xiaobai said: "What kind of organization would cultivate such a killer? This killer is so fun." ”

I thought about it, if the speculation is true, then this killer is really playful, and his childlike innocence is still alive.

"What do you think?" I asked Black.

The corners of Xiao Hei's mouth turned up slightly.

This was the first time I had seen Blackie's smile clearly, and most of the time he was like a wood carving, and he didn't say a word. His smile was shallow, but there was a faint, evil aura. I wondered what he had in mind that his face had an expression, and he had already stretched out his bony fingers, and with a little luck, he had written a few large words on the snow.

I looked at it, and what he wrote was the words "southerners".

Liuxi City is located in the western boundary, why did Xiao Hei write "Nanguo"? Is the organization that has a grudge against Liuxi City from Nanguo?

"Do you mean that the murderer is from the South?" I asked, "Why is it a Southlander, and what does it have to do with the snowman?"

I couldn't figure it out.

"It doesn't snow in the south. Xiaobai said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Hey, hey. Xiaobai laughed and said, "It's still because of playfulness." ”

"Make it clear. ”

"Brother, don't you know? With Xiyin as the dividing ridge, it has never snowed in the south. These murderers are from the southern country, and they may not have even been to Xiliang before, have not been to the Far East, and have never seen snow, or have seen little, this time they ran to the western realm to kill people, and it is rare to see a snow, and after killing someone, they can't help but build a snowman to play. Xiaobai said.

I was stunned for a moment, there is such an explanation?

"Uh, is that going to be the case?" I said.

"It could be so. Didn't my brother say that he was looking for the murderer, so naturally he couldn't miss any possibility. It never snows in the south, so why are the people of the south interested in snow, isn't it normal? Even if it is a killer, it is also a human being, and everyone has a playful heart. ”

Xiaobai seems to be confident in this statement. Noncommittal, I looked at Blackie to the side, and he didn't move.

"From the South, the killer, these points alone are not enough to confirm who the real murderer is. I said.

"That's right, so brother, why do you bother to do work for yourself? If it's really the killer organization, then you have to find the person who bought the murderer, and this person is the real murderer. You said that you boasted, but maybe even the kid didn't know who his enemy was, in fact, I think my brother just wanted to end his hatred, so that he didn't have to take revenge in the future, so it was enough to make him believe that the enemy was dead, so why bother to really do it?"

I was stunned again, Xiaobai made sense, and at the same time reminded me that I didn't wait for the child to wake up, he might know something, so I don't have to work so hard to find such an enemy.

......

The next day.

In February, the peach begins to die. Magnolia solution. Bauhinia. Apricot blossoms adorn its beauty. Pear blossom dissolves. Li Huabai.

The sky was overcast and cold.

There was a dead silence in the empty city.

Nie Changsheng and the others placed the four cargo boxes in the front hall. Xiaobai squinted and crawled on top of the container. Next to the cargo box is a brazier with a warm charcoal fire.

I went to find the brazier, and the charcoal was turned out by Xiao Bai, and Xiao Hei was responsible for lighting the fire. Xiao Hei doesn't know where he has gone at this time.

Sometimes I wonder where Xiao Hei disappeared at every turn, but his whereabouts are so vague that when you don't look for him, he is always not far from you, and when he disappears, it's like a shadow that disappears into the darkness at night, nowhere to be found.

I asked Xiaobai, where did you sneak away that night?

Xiaobai opened his eyes and said lazily, are you going, I'll take you there.

I said if I wanted to wait for Xiao Hei to come back and take him with me.

Xiaobai propped himself up, jumped lightly from the cargo box to the ground, walked a few steps gracefully, twisted his neck to look at me, gave me a slightly strange look, and said, "You won't want to take him there." ”

In the end, Xiaobai took me out of Liuxi City and climbed the mountain dozens of miles away. When I arrived at the destination, I also understood why Xiaobai said that I didn't want to bring Xiaohei here.

......

Well, Xiaobai took me to the hot springs.

I loosened my hair, removed the clothes from my body, and untied the restraints on my chest layer by layer, and entered the hot spring, and suddenly the warmth came from the soles of my feet. The hot spring water is boiling and clear, and the microwave is fine. The remnants of the snow that have not melted are piled up on the rocks around the hot springs, and the slopes outside the hot springs are covered with frost and snow.

The hot spring is full of mist, even the breeze is warm, Xiaobai is like an elf, its hair is fluffy and soft, its steps are elegant and graceful, and its snow-white paws are like cotton balls, stepping on the water step by step, as if it is as light as no weight.

It is also small, with only one tail.

I stroked its head with my hand, and its eyes closed comfortably, its ears supplanted softly.

Not far from the hot springs there is a fence made of bamboo and a small house.

"Is this someone else's place?" I asked.

"There's no one here, I've checked, it's a dilapidated house, it's impossible to live in. Xiaobai said.

I didn't continue to ask, for the first time, I felt that Xiaobai was really good, to be able to find such a place, and the fatigue of a few days was swept away under such a baptism.

It was three or four hours before I got up from the hot springs.

I put on my crescent-white belt and said, "It's time to go back." ”

"Sister, do you really want to avenge the people in the city?" Xiaobai said as he followed behind me.

"Yes. ”

"The murderer hasn't been found yet, how can I take revenge?"

I pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, we will set out for the southern country, sweep all the killer organizations, if you are lucky, you will always come across useful news." ”

"Sweep, all?" Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Wow, brother, are you ...... Are you sure?"

"Yes. I asked, "If you run into a murderer, can you smell it?"

"Yes. ”

Before leaving with Xiaobai, I habitually looked back, and the hut was leaning against the fence, dilapidated, and it seemed that it had been unpopular for a long time.

"Will Brother Little Black be waiting for us to go back in the city?" asked Xiao Bai.

"I don't know, I guess. ”

He's not stupid at all. Then why does he still follow me, doesn't he have a place to go back?
