Chapter 613: A Chance Encounter in the Mountains
Maple Leaf's gaze pierced the gloomy sky, as if it had landed on the Returning Inn in a nameless town.
This parting is likely to be eternal, and his mood will inevitably be a little complicated, but it is even more determined at this time.
"Look back, look back, this is the beginning of my life......" Maple Leaf muttered to himself, then turned around and climbed towards the iceberg despite the cold.
Maple Leaf's speed was slow, but it was the limit for him, and fortunately, he found a mountain path before long.
The mountain road is very steep, surrounded by mountain cliffs, if you are not careful, the maple leaves are likely to fall into the valley and end up with no bones.
He was so cold that his blood didn't even have much temperature until he reached the top of the mountain, it was late at night.
The muddy feeling filled his mind, and Maple Leaf's body was shivering from the cold, but he didn't have any way to keep warm, and it was a miracle that he was able to hold on until now.
With a cold and biting cold wind passing by, the maple leaf fell, sliding down the top of the mountain, his consciousness gradually blurred, the cold numbed and painful, when he passed out, he saw a blurred figure, I don't know if it was a dream or reality......
"I didn't expect that there would be people coming out in this kind of weather, aren't you afraid of being frozen to death? Fortunately, you met me, otherwise you would have waited to become an ice sculpture." A slightly gruff voice came.
Maple Leaf gradually woke up from his slumber, and what greeted him was a slightly dim space, and after a few glances around him, he realized that he was in a cave at the moment.
On the opposite side of the maple leaf sat a big man wearing a cotton jacket in animal skin, he looked rough, exuding a little boldness up and down, and was fiddling with the bonfire at the moment, and when he saw the maple leaf wake up, his eyebrows were slightly raised.
"Hey, but when I finally woke up, I thought you froze to death, but you're in for a treat. The big man grinned, took a roast chicken from the fire and handed it to Maple Leaf.
Although he hasn't figured out what the situation is, Maple Leaf is really hungry at the moment, and he is not ambiguous at the moment, he tears open the chicken leg and stuffs it into his mouth, and for a while his mouth is full of oil.
"It's delicious, thank you. Maple Leaf leaned against the fire, and most of the clothes on his body were dry, bringing him a little warmth and sweeping away the cold of the past.
"Eat slowly, don't choke, this is a unique fruit wine in our village, to be honest, ordinary people really give him a drink." The big man looked at Maple Leaf's greedy appearance, laughed, and then ripped off the wine bag from his waist and handed it to Maple Leaf.
It was the first time the two met, but they didn't have the slightest sense of strangeness, drinking wine, eating meat, and talking happily.
At this time, Maple Leaf knew that Dahan was a mountain man not far from the palm realm, called Wang Wu, who happened to meet him when he was about to go back from hunting, so he rescued him.
If it weren't for Wang Wu's help, the maple leaf would probably be covered by the heavy snow and end up freezing to death.
Maple Leaf was grateful, but when he saw Wang Wu's appearance clearly through the dim light, some complicated feelings surged in his mind.
Maple Leaf seemed to have seen him somewhere, just like Miss Xiao who met in Pingshui yesterday, which brought him a strong sense of familiarity.
"Is this a dream or reality?" Looking at the surging bonfire, Maple Leaf's gaze was replaced by confusion, although he walked out of the palm realm, but the next road is likely to be more difficult than this.
"I have a fate with you, so I will be honest with you, let me tell you, my daughter will be out of the cabinet in a few days. Wang Wu took a sip of wine and said heartily.
"That's really a great joy, little brother is here to congratulate. Hearing this, Maple Leaf stood up and arched his hand towards the big man, congratulating him sincerely.
"Tongxi, Tongxi, if you don't dislike it, you will go home with me tomorrow, drink a glass of happy wine and rush to be happy, there is no one else in the family except me and my daughter. Wang Wu drank a lot, and the words he confided were very true.
From this, it can be seen how simple and kind Wang Wu is, he never had the slightest understanding of Maple Leaf, so he came to the rescue, and even invited him to his home, and he didn't care about Maple Leaf's character.
"I know what you think, my old king is a real person, he has few friends, and he doesn't even have the money to buy a dowry, so he went up the mountain to try his luck, and he met two snowcocks, oh, yes, and you, brother. Wang Wu drank wine and told his story.
"I understand you, it's not easy to do anything these days, if you don't dislike it, take me to the house to have a look, maybe you can even have a show. Maple smiled slightly, her eyes reflecting a little light with the bonfire.
I don't know why, Maple Leaf's heart flashed a little bad premonition, as if something was about to happen, but this thought only appeared for a moment, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"That's good, my daughter is about to leave the cabinet, but I don't even have a mother's family, and the dowry is thin and I'm afraid that she will be bullied, what do you say I should do." Wang Wu's face was full of sorrow.
The daughter who has been raised for 18 years is finally getting married, but at this time she is reluctant, after all, it is the meat of her heart.
If she marries out but is afraid that her in-laws will treat her badly and be bullied, I am afraid that a father will not let go of his heart in this life.
"This snow is endless, if you give me a few more days, maybe you can get some good dowry, but this god is too unsatisfactory. Wang Wu stood up straight in a daze and walked towards the entrance of the cave, his steps falling on Ye Feng's heart were so heavy.
Listening to Wang Wu's words silently, Maple Leaf had the same expression on his face all the time, the fire flashed in his eyes, and many complicated thoughts appeared in his mind.
"Brother, if something happens to me one day, you must take care of my daughter for me and see if she is doing well, so that I will be at ease. Wang Wu turned around, but the words he confided were a little inexplicable.
Maple Leaf was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't quite understand the meaning of Wang Wu's words, how could the more he listened to it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
It feels like a farewell, and in general, it's an explanation of the aftermath.
"If there ever was a day, I would. Maple Leaf's tone was a little soft, he didn't have a father, he hadn't felt father's love, but at this time, he really felt it.
Father's love is like a mountain, extremely majestic, if Maple Leaf becomes a father one day, it will be the same.
Cutting constantly, rationalizing and messing, whether it is family affection or brotherly affection, it cannot be easily parted, and only a faint melancholy remains in my heart.
"The snow shows no signs of stopping, so let's do that you and I will stay here tonight for the night, and then go back to the village tomorrow." Wang Wu was not too cold, and after a long time, he covered most of the cave with snow to resist the howling cold wind.
