Looking at the delicate face in front of him, Qiushui was speechless for a while, and he couldn't speak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the battle of the Rain Master's Tower, the Snow Maiden has not been seen in everyone's sight, and there are even rumors that she has failed her mission and has been secretly executed by the Black-Cloaked Organization. In fact, Qiushui has always had a special affection for the Snow Maiden, and he has noticed many times that under that cold face, there is actually a delicate and soft heart. That's why he was so shocked when he tracked Yun Ze all the way to the Rain Master Tower, and finally found out that the person who stole the rain spirit bead was the Snow Maiden.

After a long silence, Qiushui finally spoke, "Why are you here?" Although he had tried hard to restrain his emotions, the tremor in his words was still very obvious.

"Aren't I welcome?" the Snow Maiden looked at Qiushui with her cold eyes, and the smile on her face had faded.

"You're now a wanted felon, and I can take you to the Rain Temple at any time. Qiushui said in a deep voice.

"This is your freedom, but I'm not here to capture the Rain Orb. ”

"What's that for?" Before he knew it, Qiu Shui had already drawn out his Heavenly Evil Sword. The Snow Maiden caught a glimpse, her eyelids lowered slightly, and a trace of pain swept across her face, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. It's just that these small changes are so obvious in the eyes of Lin Lin, who is also a woman.

"I just want to tell you that the forces of the Blackcoat Organization have infiltrated Rain City. ”

"This is impossible, now the inside of Rain City has already sprinkled a net of heaven and earth, and there are guards from the four countries in the east, west, north and south, and even a fly can't fly in. Qiushui shook his head, obviously not believing the Snow Maiden's words.

"Then how do you know that there are no allies of the Black-Cloaked Organization among the Four Kingdoms......" Snow Maiden said lightly, but she stunned Qiushui and Lin Lin.

"What did you say?" Qiushui frowned, wondering if he had misheard.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll just say the rest once. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business. The Snow Maiden stood up, took a few steps to the center of the room, took a deep breath, and then, in an emotionless tone, began to tell the story of the past that few people knew.

Snow Maiden was born in a small village in the eastern part of the Snow Country, the second child in the family. She once had an older sister who mysteriously disappeared when she was two years old and has not been accounted for since. Since she was born with gray hair, she was seen as a bad omen and was alienated by her relatives and friends. When she was four years old, Snow Maiden's parents died, leaving her alone on the streets, begging for a living. Because of her dexterity, she was able to ask for a lot of copper coins every day. In addition to satisfying the basic food and clothing, she saved the rest of the money, hoping to set up a tomb for her parents one day to fulfill her filial piety.

As the days passed, and she was getting closer and closer to her goal, a group of strangers suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of the village. They were all children, the eldest in his teens and the youngest in his third or fourth year, who also made a living by begging. The difference is that this group calls itself a gang of beggars and presents a certain organization in the event. Several bustling streets were soon taken over by them. Under their rejection, the Snow Maiden's life began to become difficult, sometimes even for less than a penny for the whole day.

One day, a middle-aged man who calls himself Brother Wolf approaches Snow Maiden and asks her if she would like to join the beggar gang. At that time, Brother Wolf made many seemingly beautiful promises, and under his bewitchment, the still young Snow Maiden agreed without much thought. After all, she has been alone since she was a child, and it is good to be able to meet a group of friends.

This is precisely the beginning of bad luck. On the surface, everyone in the beggar gang is professionally trained, and they can ask for a lot of copper coins every day, which is enough to meet the basic needs of life. But in fact, all these copper coins had to be handed over to Brother Wolf afterwards, leaving only a few poor coppers, which were not enough to even eat a full meal. What's more, those who fail to complete their tasks on time will be whipped with an iron whip by Brother Wolf on a tree until their skin is open and they pass out. Those who try to escape are punished more severely. The Snow Maiden once witnessed Brother Wolf holding a sharp knife and cutting off the ribs of a boy who was less than ten years old.

In this oppressive environment, Snow Maiden's personality went from introverted and sensitive, to numbness, and finally to indifference. As she gets older, her appearance has become more beautiful and dignified, and people often can't take their eyes off it at a glance. Such a beautiful embryo begging on the street can naturally win the sympathy of everyone, and she can make a lot of money almost every day. In this way, Brother Wolf also paid more attention to the Snow Maiden, and even handed over some of his power to her.

The beggars are not fixed in one place, but roam the cities all year round to prevent the local people from getting bored. When Snow Maiden was twelve years old, they came to Syracuse, the capital of Snow Country, to seek greater development. Compared to when she first joined, the number of partners around her has been reduced by half. They either died at the hands of Brother Wolf, or they committed suicide because they couldn't bear the heavy pressure. In the process, Snow Maiden becomes more and more withdrawn and unapproachable, and her extraordinary talents begin to be revealed.

Of the entire beggars, only an eight-year-old girl named Zhu'er was the closest to her. Pearls is a lovely girl with round eyes and a very pleasing appearance. She was kicked out of the house by her patriarchal parents at the age of six and subsequently joined a beggar gang to make ends meet. She is very optimistic about everything, always has a smile on her face, and never complains about being tired. In this little girl's body, the Snow Maiden sees her original shadow.

Once, due to heavy snowfall, people hid in their houses and did not come out, and Zhu'er was unable to get the required amount of copper coins. At that time, Brother Wolf's eyes were full of anger, but he did not punish Zhu'er, which made the Snow Maiden standing aside silently relieved, thinking that maybe it was because Zhu'er was still young that Brother Wolf decided to let her go. At that time, the beggars lived in a few thatched huts on the outskirts of the city, and after a day of begging, they were already quite tired, and after eating, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Late that night, the Snow Maiden was awakened by a miserable scream. She hurriedly got up and followed the source of the cry until she finally came to a thatched hut. She hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door, and then saw a scene that she still haunts: in the moonlight, Zhu'er stared against the cold wall, naked with bright red blood oozing from her lower body, soaking the straw at her feet. And beside her, it was Brother Wolf with a lewd smile on his face, and when he saw the Snow Maiden breaking in, he immediately showed a displeased expression.

The Snow Maiden withdrew, with great amusement, and returned to her own lodgings, and then could not sleep all night. The next day, Snow Maiden did not see Pearl, and it is said that she suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night and has now been buried.

"What a good girl, how can you say that if you don't say it, it's gone......" said one person at the time, his tone full of regret. The Snow Maiden listened quietly, without any waves on her face.

Later that day, she left the beggar gang alone, carrying Brother Wolf's head in her hands. Patches of cold snowflakes fell on the face, and there was a bit of a sting. She walked through the bustling streets and through the bustling crowds, but she didn't know where to stop. After eight years, she finally regained her freedom again, but without the joy she imagined. She raised her head, looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and couldn't help thinking: the world is so big, where is the place for herself?
