Chapter 2 Prelude

The Central Plains said: "The light snow is solstice, and winter begins quietly." ”

Far away in the north of the desert, winter has already arrived.

The winds of the north hindered people's movements, and the frosty ground frozen all life.

"Ahh

"Hey~ Do you feel that the weather has been getting colder and worse in recent years?"

"Yes, probably, hey, has your fire risen, borrow a fire from me, I'll extinguish it here."

"Why are you dead again?"

At midnight, the morning vendors who got up early to do business chattered.

In a chaotic stall on the side of the street, two people dressed in black brocade sat down, and the chest of the brocade was embroidered with the word "catch" on the back.

"Shopkeeper, two bowls of chaos!"

"Okay, wait a minute, the two of you!"

The fatter catcher seems to be very afraid of the cold, and his clothes are much thicker than those of his colleagues.

"It's really unlucky, I didn't catch anyone after a night, and Beifeng drank more than one pot."

Fat Catcher slapped the table suddenly, and scolded angrily: "Let us do any tiring and dirty work, and go to the flower building to sleep by yourself, our new head is really good!" ”

"You whisper...... Thin Catcher quickly wrapped his sleeves, although he was also very unhappy in his heart, he still lowered his voice and reminded: "Be careful that the wall has ears." ”

"Aren't I allowed to complain?" Fat Catcher suddenly became angry, "Obviously, he took the job by himself in front of the county master, but when he turned around, he threw it to the two of us, what kind of thing did he run away!" ”

"It's not a thing, really."

Thin Catcher couldn't help but say something, subconsciously touched his mouth, looked around, and after confirming that no one heard it, he was a little relieved, lowered his voice and continued: "It's not that you don't know, our new head, it's a big deal, we can't afford to provoke it." ”

"Although the two of us are a little tired, isn't it more paid?" Thin Catcher squeezed his eyebrows at Fat Catcher: "Didn't you lose some points when Tou left yesterday?" ”

Fat Catcher quickly disliked: "What can you do with five taels of silver?" ”

The two glanced at each other, confirmed the lewd smile hidden in each other's eyes, the corners of their mouths rose at the same time, and they said in unison:

"Listen to a song, drink a drink, sleep a girl!"

The laughter could no longer be restrained, and the negative emotions of the tired night were cleared at this moment, and the two of them picked up the teacups, touched the cups in celebration, and drank the tea, and the shopkeeper brought over two bowls of hot chaos.

"Two poor masters, your chaos is healed."

————

Early in the morning, Qin Fan walked out of the snow-covered building, tightened his trouser belt, and looked up at the white sky.

"It's better to be in this era."

With a sigh of emotion, he held the hood on his head, strode down the street, and whispered to himself: "I don't know if those two guys have gained anything, but there must be none."

Demon, demon...... It's been more than a month since you've been in this world, right? Until now, it is not sure if there are really immortals in this world. ”

Walking on the road with his head held high, Qin Fan's eyes were slightly distracted, thinking about things in his mind.

Passing by a bakery, he stopped.

"Shop, how do you sell the baked cakes?"

"Five cents a piece."

"Bring me two."

took out a few copper plates from his waist pocket and threw them into the hands of the shopkeeper.

"Okay, wait a minute."

The shopkeeper wiped his hands and took the copper coin, took out the baked cake from the oven, and did not hand it to Qin Fan, but gave it to another man in white.

"This son, the baked cake you wanted."

After taking the baked cakes, Mo Bai took a bite directly from his mouth, turned his head and looked back at Qin Fan, who also came to sell baked cakes, and left slowly as if nothing happened.

Born with a good skin...... Qin Fan was a little envious in his heart, he naturally noticed Mo Bai a long time ago.

This person is the most beautiful person among all the people he has seen since he came to this world, even if he counts the original world, it is the same.

It's just not like a person!

Although Qin Fan is also quite confident in his appearance, compared with Mo Bai, I have to admit that there is still a little bit of a gap.

Especially in the area of temperament.

To give an easy-to-understand example, the vendors will subconsciously shout "Childe" when they see Mo Bai.

Seeing Qin Fan, he wouldn't.

"Guest, your baked cakes."

"Ah...... Oh, thanks. ”

The shout of the owner of the baked cake shop pulled Qin Fan's thoughts back to reality, took the baked cake, held it in his hand and took a bite, it tasted good and original.

Seeing that Mo Bai was about to go away, he swallowed the biscuit and chased after him in a hurry.

"Yo, morning."

On both sides of the street, patches of white mist rose among the vendors, and Qin Fan and Mo Bai walked side by side.

Mo Bai turned his head to look at Qin Fan, his brows furrowed slightly, the latter had a warm smile on his face, his face was enthusiastic, because he was too close, and a strong smell of rouge was in his nose.

Slightly away from Qin Fan, Mo Bai looked ahead without distraction.

"Ha, sorry, the smell is a little too big."

Realizing that he had a strong smell of rouge on his body, Qin Fan's old face flushed, and he was a little embarrassed.

His eyes searched around, looking for the vendor selling green oranges, but he didn't find it for a long time, he was embarrassed and deflated, and he consciously distanced himself from Mo Bai.

Seeing that Mo Bai was also holding two pieces of baked cakes in his hands, the corners of Qin Fan's mouth rose slightly: "What about bringing breakfast to Miss Mo?" ”

Mo Bai did not respond.

Qin Fan is accustomed to this.

When Qin Fan first met, he suspected that Mo Bai was a lobster, and he was almost full of energy, and he didn't respond at all, and he didn't squeak at all.

After getting along for a long time, I understood.

I just don't want to deal with it.

At the fork in the road, Qin Fan pointed to the road on the left and waved his hand at Mo Bai to say goodbye: "Goodbye." ”

Mo Bai walked to the right as if no one was around.

◇——◇

In the depths of Osmanthus Alley, in a small earthen house, Mo Ying sat on the bed and nibbled on the baked cakes that Mo Bai brought back.

Mo Bai sat beside her and looked at her quietly.

"Snow Mountain?"

It wasn't until Mo Ying finished eating all the baked cakes that Mo Bai gently opened his mouth and slowly spit out two words.

Mo Ying was stunned, wiped her mouth with crumbs, the baked cake in her mouth had not been completely swallowed, and said vaguely: "The mountain is about to be closed, and I want to go in again before the mountain is closed." ”

"Silver?"

"Well, this winter is colder than before, and there is one more of you in the family, so save more."

"......" Mo Bai tilted his head, put his hand into his sleeve, and fumbled for a few leaves.

Mo Ying's face was suspicious for a moment, and when she saw the familiar leaves, she immediately reacted, stopped Mo Bai's next move, and said righteously: "Money is something you earn, and you can use it with peace of mind!" ”

She snatched the leaves from Mo Bai's hand, and the original withered yellow leaves were gradually turning golden with the naked eye, and she was no stranger to this.

“…… Oh. Mo Bai didn't know why, but he still nodded obediently, was quiet for a while, and then spit out slowly: "Snow Mountain." ”

"Hey, Xiaobai is going too?"

Mo Ying's face was slightly surprised, and seeing that Mo Bai didn't mean to joke, her face hesitated.

Mo Bai looked at her, her dark eyes were innocent, and the whites of her eyes were extremely clear.

Mo Ying was a little distracted, her white eyes were as clean as clear pond spring water, and she was as simple as a child.

She couldn't bear to refuse, she nodded with a little difficulty, and promised: "Okay, okay, I'll take you with me, but you have to follow me honestly, and you can't run around." ”

Mo Bai shook his head and nodded in agreement.

"Doctor's ......"

promised to take Mo Bai into the snow mountain, and Mr. Tsing Yi definitely didn't have time to go today.

Mo Ying turned her head sideways and looked at the bamboo umbrella leaning on the corner of the wall, "Let's go and return the bamboo umbrella to the master first." ”

Remembering the flask on the table, she added, "I'll have to return the flask." ”

————

Osmanthus Lane, private school, Mr. Tsing Yi pushed open the door of the private school, walked to the familiar straw mat and sat down.

It's cold, and the straw mat is a little cold.

"Good morning, sir!"

As soon as he opened a slightly yellowed book, a child ran in outside the door, rushed to him, and greeted him with a smile.

Mr. Tsing Yi smiled: "Ah, it's a little peach blossom, and today is the first one." ”

The little girl wrapped in a red cotton jacket smiled shyly and sat down in her place step by step.

Taking out the books from her backpack and spreading them on the table, the little girl sat on the chair and stared at the door of the private school with her eyes in anticipation.

Seeing this, Mr. Tsing Yi hooked the corners of his mouth as he thought it was funny.

There are only two people in the private school, and it is difficult for Xiao Peach Blossom not to notice the change in Mr. Tsing Yi's complexion, and when she found that he was secretly laughing, she was a little embarrassed, and lowered her head shyly, picked up the sage book and pretended to read it.

A child's mind is always simple, obvious, Mr. Tsing Yi sees it in his eyes.

Children also have their own face and dignity, and Mr. Tsing Yi chooses to respect.

"Master!"

Just when Xiao Taohua was embarrassed in her heart, her mind was messy, and she couldn't see a single word in her eyes, a crisp shout came from outside the house.

Following the sound and looking out the door, a girl in sackcloth and a man in white walked into the private school together.

Xiao Peach was stunned, her eyes fixed on the man in white behind the Mai girl, she hurriedly stood up and greeted loudly: "Big brother, good morning!" ”

"Huh?" Mo Ying froze in place, curiously looking at the little girl in the red cotton jacket who was greeting this side, she turned her head to look at Mo Bai, who glanced at the smiling little peach blossom with an indifferent look in her eyes, and nodded slightly in response.

…… Is Xiaobai so popular?

Mr. Tsing Yi stood up and glanced at the little peach blossom who was sitting down contentedly, and the latter's face was full of joy.

He pursed his lips to hold back a smile, looked at the two people who entered outside the door, and asked, "Miss Mo, is there something wrong?" ”

"Oh, I'll return the umbrella."

Mo Ying took out the bamboo umbrella from the basket, handed it to Mr. Tsing Yi and said, "Doctor, Xiaobai is going to enter the mountain with me today, so I won't stay with you." ”

"What? Big brother wants to go into the mountains!? ”

pretended to read a book, but in fact, he had been peeking at the inky white little peach blossom and raised his head violently.

Realizing her gaffe, she hurriedly buried her head and hid behind a book, her cheeks crimson.

Mo Ying looked at Mo Bai and blinked.

Mo Bai tilted his head, his eyes were innocent.

"Go into the mountain, then you should be careful and pay attention to safety." As if he hadn't heard the voice of the little peach blossom, Mr. Tsing Yi told the two of them casually, he handed back the bamboo umbrella he had taken, and his voice was soft, "You can take the bamboo umbrella first, you may not be able to use it when you go up the mountain." ”

"Thank you, Master," Mo Ying saw this, without hypocrisy, and took the bamboo umbrella generously, Yu Guang paid attention to the little peach blossom peeking in this direction, she turned to face Mo Bai, naturally took his hand, and led him out, "Xiaobai, let's go quickly." ”

Little Peach Blossom, who was hiding behind the book and peeking at it, chuckled in her heart, her eyes stared at the hand that was holding Mo Bai and didn't let go, and her heart was a little pantothenic.

Miss Mo was jealous of the children...... Mr. Tsing Yi pursed the corners of his lips and snickered.

Turning his head, facing the little peach blossom with sour oily eyes, he suddenly couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth, and laughed unkindly.

The little peach blossom that was about to overflow with a sour smell was knocked back to reality by this chuckle, her eyes were wooden and she looked at the gentleman who couldn't hold back her laughter, her cheeks were flushed, and her cute little head was completely lowered and buried in the erected book, and there was a faint mist rising behind the book.

。 (→↓↓←)。

The sun is three poles, and the snow is full of buildings.

In a delicately decorated room, the sleeping beauty in the hibiscus tent slowly opened her eyes, her fragrant shoulders were bare, and her jade skin was like frost and snow, pure white and flawless.

Xue Rongji sat up, leaning against the head of the bed with her eyebrows and eyes half-open, her delicate cheeks with tiredness, and her bright red lips slightly puffy.

"Xiaolan." The voice is numb, soft and charming.

"The master is awake?" The maidservant walked in from outside the house, glanced at the belly pockets and dirty pants scattered all over the ground, and lowered her head and did not dare to look at the spring-filled beauty in the hibiscus tent.

"Where's Brother Xian?"

"The fairy will leave when the time comes."

"Hmmm......"

Xue Rongji sat up, stretched her delicate body, her graceful posture, her willow waist, the peaks and mountains were like gathering, and the waves were like anger.

She said leisurely: "Go and prepare hot water, and call some people to come in and clean up the house." ”

"Yes." The servant girl was respectful, did not retreat, stood in place and opened her mouth lightly, wanting to speak and stopping.

"What's the matter?" Xue Rongji glanced at the servant girl indifferently, Xu was not resting enough, her mood was a little irritable, and her tone was cold: "Isn't there another trouble on the old woman's side?" ”

"No, it's not, there are no complaints from my mother-in-law, it's too late to be happy!"

The servant girl was resigned, nervously lying down, kneeling on the ground, her shoulders trembling, and her face like ashes.

"It was Xiao Jiu who ran out last night, and the slave and maid were not well guarded, please punish the master!" At the end, the maid's voice trembled, with a distinct cry.

Xue Rongji's complexion changed suddenly, she opened her half-closed eyes, the laziness between her eyebrows was replaced by a cold chill, and her cold voice was like a biting cold wind: "When did you run out?" ”

"It was, just last night." The servant girl trembled and prostrate on the ground, and her voice tried her best to remain calm, "The slave and maid found it missing when they were sons. ”

Sub-time......

Xue Rongji's face softened suddenly, a touch of smoky red appeared, and her onion-like fingers unconsciously poked into the futon.

Brother Xian......

Reminiscing about the lingering of the night, gentle, and ruthless, the frost on Xue Rongji's face gradually dissipated.

"Did you send someone to find it?"

"Yes, someone has been sent out to search!"

"Well, I know, let's go down," Xue Rongji raised her hand to cover her mouth, and suddenly became a little sleepy again, "Go to the old woman and get ten canes to punish herself." ”

When the maid heard this, she suppressed the joy of the rest of her life, and withdrew from the room with weak legs: "Thank you, master, the slave and maid are retired!" ”
