"Lady Lark—"

She walked slowly, going upstream, and didn't seem to hear Qi Bei's shout.

Qi Bei stood on the shore, three steps and two steps to chase over, and the rapid flow of water flowing down from the far upstream brought the sad voice of Lady Bailing, which resounded throughout the river.

"Why did you lie to me?"

Qi Bei hurriedly asked, "Who are you talking about?" Is it Jiayang? Did he really destroy the Flamingo Clan? Then he deserves a thousand cuts! Don't be afraid, I'll help you get revenge, okay? The upstream is dangerous, the current is too fast, and Yi Miao doesn't know where to hide, you ...... Hurry up and walk back. ”

Lady Bailing's consciousness and body seemed to have been taken away by the memories.

He ran hastily on the shore until there was no way forward and he had to step into the river illusion. As soon as the shoes were wet, the flowing water in the fantasy world took the two of them to Ah Ling in the middle of winter.

That year, Aling had a rare heavy snowfall throughout the winter, piled up to a particularly thick surface, and everything as far as the eye could see was a vast and miserable white.

The cold winter wind blew, and Qibei was blocked by the wind and sneezed heavily. Looking at the goose feather snow falling all over the sky, strangely, he didn't feel the cold.

Hey? The river illusion is really not simple, from the Cui Mansion in the wind, against the river actually returned to Aling.

He walked aimlessly along the rugged mountain road, not knowing where Lady Bailing was.

"Lady Bailing—Lady Bailing—"

His mind suddenly turned, no, the space has changed, what about the time? Did Lady Bailing marry a royal official at this time? If you haven't gotten married yet, then no one will understand when you shout "Mrs. Bailing".

So, he simply began to call her maiden name: "Miss Xu—"

I didn't get an echo from Miss Xu, probably because the snow in the mountains was too big, and even the brown bears, hares, and birds were hidden, and no one would easily come out.

Qi Bei continued to walk blindly on the snow.

Soon, he heard a low whining.

So what is it?

A foal, thin as wood and limb as weak as a stand, was hiding under a cliff, shivering from the cold.

Hey?

Why did the pony get lost at this time?

Qi Bei looked left and right.

Is it a wild horse? If it is raised at home, then the owner of the horse does not come to look for it?

In the dark, God naturally made all the arrangements.

The foal broke its hind legs, did not eat for several days, and its body had already lost to a handful of small bones, and it was a miracle that he could survive until Qibei appeared. It looked at Qi Bei with a pair of big docile eyes, pleading for help.

Qi Bei just stood in place, as if he was attracted by some kind of magnetic field, and forgot for a while that maybe he should go to Miss Xu first.

He always felt that there was an invisible connection between himself and the foal.

Shouldn't it be rescued first?

Qi Bei looked around.

If the snow falls in this way, if it is not collected and protected in a warm stable with food and grass ready, the foal will die of hunger and cold.

He scratched his head, not knowing what to do. Although I really wanted to give it some food, I couldn't find anything in my pockets when I dug it out with both hands. It's better to give it a coat to keep warm, anyway, although the wind is whistling in your ears, this is just an illusion after all, so Qi Bei doesn't feel cold, and it won't be a problem to remove a few clothes.

Although the clothes wrapped in them are not thick, they can resist the cold. He was holding the foal in his arms, and he could feel it tremble a little lesser. The horse was so hungry that it gnawed at his fingers, and the two large baby teeth tickled his skin.

"Where are I going to find you something to eat?"

It was snowing heavily in the barren mountains and mountains.

"Do you know where there is a flamingo clan's big village?" said that he wanted to send the foal to Dazhai to raise, but in fact, Qi Bei wanted to take this opportunity to meet Miss Xu back then.

The horses were so hungry that they couldn't speak, so they lay on the ground.

This morning, the heavy snow finally lightened a little.

Suddenly—chirp.

Feathers fluttered, and a gray lark flew in. It is rare for birds to fly outside on such a cold day. The lark hesitated outside the stone cliff, at first afraid to approach, but when it was sure it was safe inside, it staggered forward.

The foal neighs happily. Only then did Qi Bei realize that the foal and the lark recognized each other. The lark brought beans to feed on it, so that the foal, whose hind leg had broken, would not die of starvation.

It turns out that this is how you survived. Qi Bei sighed.

He watched as the larks fed the foals one by one, and although they were completely different species, they were far more intimate than the world of cunning and strife. Most things are actually connected to each other, such as a lark braving the cold to save a foal, but there are too many people who are separated and suspicious.

"Thank you, thank you!" Qi Bei tried to get closer, he liked the warm scene in front of him so much, and his heart was unusually deeply touched.

The lark turns its little head, as if looking for the source of the sound. It staggered twice, ignored Qi Bei, and flew away.

The sun rises and the moon sets, goose feathers and snow fly all over the sky; The moon rises and sets, and the sky is full of goose feathers and heavy snow.

Snowflakes fall slowly, and staring at them for a long time creates an illusion that borders on hypnosis. In this illusion, Qi Bei gradually lost his sense of time, and the eagerness to find Lady Bailing that had been engraved in his mind was also relieved.

For a day or two, he stayed with the foal, warmed it with clothes, attached a leg bone to it, and waited quietly for the lark to come and feed it. The lark arrives every day as promised, and it is never vacant.

Until, when the snow stopped falling for half a day.

Pinch your fingers and calculate, it's time for the lark to feed.

But Qibei and the foal couldn't wait for the lark, and the foal began to be restless. Qi Bei patted its head, and was inexplicably firm in his heart: "Don't worry, you will definitely come." ”

It didn't take long for the voice of a hunter to be heard from the mountain road.

The lark flapped its wings and cooed. Behind was a girl in a big red dress, wrapped in a warm white velvet robe. Qi Bei only glanced at the little girl from a distance, and immediately hid.

It turned out that she listened to the sound of larks in the mountains and came to find them.

"There, I heard it." The girl in the red dress and white robe walked in front panting, and her cute little face was red from the cold.

"Miss Xu," the hunter behind him said, "the snow is thick in the mountains, be careful of your step." ”

Hearing these three words, Qi Bei's heart, which was frozen by snow and ice in his chest, began to beat enthusiastically.

"Come on—" cried the girl excitedly, "look what I've found!" ”

The lark, who found the foal hiding under the rocks, almost jumped for joy, and ducked back into the arms of the little master. The foal timidly looked at the strange girl and hid in the coat that Qi Bei had left to keep it warm.

"Sure enough, it's Ah Ling back then." Qi Bei looked at Miss Xu from a distance and thought, "It turns out that you used to be so small and so beautiful." ”

However, the tall man who followed closely behind Miss Xu made Qi Bei faintly jealous in his heart.
