Chapter 4: Baldness
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, where are we going?"
Mo Ying curled up and hid her head in the collar, she had already deviated far from the path she remembered, and now even if she had to retreat, she couldn't find her way back.
At some point, snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and the sky was disturbed by gusts of icy mountain winds.
The field of vision was full of white flowers, and Mo Ying could only lower her head and hold Mo Bai's hand tightly.
"Is it cold?" Mo Bai stopped, the snow here was already as thick as his calf, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to walk every step.
"Yes, sort of." Looking at Mo Bai's cheeks that were still bloody against the wind and snow, Mo Ying's heart was very steady.
There should be no danger, but the deeper you go, the more difficult the road becomes, and every time you pull your legs, it's like pulling out a blockage.
And the air became more and more cold, her body was stiff from the cold, and she didn't dare to bend her fingers.
Mo Bai leaned towards her and asked, "Paper?" β
"Paper?" Mo Ying was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did she understand, "Is this amulet?" β
He took out a white note from his bosom, and the black ink on the note had long since dried, but even in this cold and windy environment, even the air was frozen, he could still smell the faint scent of ink.
Mo Bai took the "talisman" handed by Mo Ying, saying that it was a "talisman", but in fact it was just an ordinary note, the only thing that was a little special was a string of small words written on the note - "Mountains and rivers are thousands of miles, and it is safe to enter and exit".
The note fell into Mo Bai's hand, gradually turning yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was coated with a solemn golden light.
"Sticking to ...... head. β
"What?"
"Stick it on the ......," Mo Bai held up the note that glowed with golden light, and put it on his forehead in a gesture, "here." β
Mo Ying looked at him with a confused face, feeling that Mo Bai's movements were dull and a little funny, but the weather was too cold, and the corners of his mouth were freezing and hurting, so he couldn't laugh at all.
After taking the "amulet", she put the "amulet" on her forehead according to Mo Bai's demonstration, and said worriedly while holding it to her mouth: "Such a strong wind, it will be blown away, right?" β
The next moment, however, her worries vanished.
The moment the note approached his forehead, he took it off and pasted it on his own, and Mo Ying only felt a warm current pouring in, flowing down from the heavenly spirit cover, flowing through the limbs and hundreds of remains, penetrating into every inch of skin, and passing through every pore.
In the field of vision, the wind of the four fields seemed to slow down and become softer, they were no longer arrogant and fearless like bear children, but became lingering, gentle and warm like little women, and they seemed to be delicate and timid.
"It's amazing." Mo Ying sighed: "The body is warm, it's not cold at all!" β
The corners of Mo Bai's mouth rose slightly.
With the protection of the "talisman", Mo Ying's pace was significantly faster, and her legs and feet were sharp.
After a long journey, the two came to a cave with a small entrance and snow covering most of it.
"Is there a cave here?"
Mo Ying's face was surprised, the Snow Mountain is so big that it is impossible for ordinary people to fully explore it in their lifetime, and as a "little village girl" who only goes to the mountain and pickles and vegetables, she naturally does not know the roots of the Snow Mountain.
When her surprise was revealed, Mo Bai raised her free hand, and she didn't know what to do, the snow at the entrance of the cave quickly melted and turned into flowing water, which flowed through the snow and instantly froze into ice.
A different kind of glacial water is formed on the snow.
Mo Bai turned sideways, turned his head to look at Mo Ying, and motioned for her to follow him into the cave.
After the snow covering the entrance to the cave disappeared, the small hole was completely exposed in front of the ink warbler's eyes.
The entrance to the cave is indeed not big, even a little narrow, the inside is dark and unclear, standing outside the cave, you can vaguely hear the sound of the wind whistling in the cave.
With Mo Bai by her side, Mo Ying was naturally not afraid, she straightened her chest, which was not too large, held her breath and concentrated on her spirits, and followed Mo Bai inside.
At first, it was extremely narrow, barely enough for the two to walk side by side.
Deeper into the cave, the field of vision is dark.
Faintly, the warbler heard the faint sound of water flowing from afar.
The altitude of the snow-capped mountains is thousands of years, and the temperature has long been below zero, how can there be living water?
Mo Ying only felt that she had misheard.
In the dark, only the inky white and soft hands reassured her and gave her the courage to continue moving forward.
However, the cave seems to want to prove that she heard correctly, that it has living water, and as the two go deeper, the humidity in the air gradually rises.
"Smack~"
"Ahh
"Huh?"
"It's nothing, I stepped on a small puddle."
Mo Ying's cheeks burned red, and she let go of her white arm with some embarrassment, it was embarrassing that she was frightened by a small puddle.
Fortunately, the cave was pitch black, and Mo Bai couldn't see her embarrassment at this time, otherwise, the level of shame would definitely be even higher.
"Huh?" Suddenly feeling an arm around her waist, Mo Ying was stunned, and her warm body leaned over and approached her, and her soft snort exhaled less than an inch beside her.
Is it protecting me? A pretty crimson appeared on Mo Ying's face, and her heart was very warm.
Mo Bai didn't speak, and quietly looked at the red-faced Mo Ying for a while, even in a dim and dark environment, he could see everything.
The further you go in, the greater the probability of stepping on a puddle, and the ink warbler, who was startled at first, got used to it after a long time, and looked indifferent no matter what she stepped on.
Although there are also some reasons for being protected in my arms, I have confidence in my heart.
It's a pity that I can't see Xiaobai's face even though I'm so close...... Mo Ying, who was relieved, complained faintly in her heart, this is still one of the few times she has been so close to Mo Bai, it was good to be able to hold hands in the past, and there is a feeling that an adult is holding a child.
In such an ambiguous posture as now, Mo Bai would not have done it to her in the past.
Mo Ying was thinking about things in her mind until a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her.
Suddenly detached from the resentful little woman's mentality, she rubbed her eyes that were a little sore.
"Xiaobai, there's a light in front." As soon as the words came out, Mo Ying felt that she was talking nonsense, the light in front of her was so obvious, it was impossible for Mo Bai not to see it.
Mo Bai responded softly, and quickened his pace with the ink warbler, although he didn't know exactly what was in the place of the light, but the feeling told him that there was something he wanted there.
"Wow, that's a big deal."
"Xiaobai, look, there's a waterhole here."
"Well, what's that pillar? Is it ice? β
Arriving at the light source, Mo Ying's eyes widened, scurrying around Mo Bai like a deer.
The light source is a small karst cave, and there is a crack at the top of the cave, and a trickle of water slips out of the crack and falls into the pool water in the center of the cave.
The pool surrounds a pillar that is thick at the top and thin at the middle, stalactite-colored.
"There's no sunlight coming in here, so how does it shine?" Mo Ying is like a curious baby, constantly throwing out questions.
Mo Bai pointed to the surrounding walls and said a few words, "Luminite stone, it will glow." β
Stones that glow?
Mo Ying looked at the surrounding walls, and there was indeed a faint glow, but it didn't illuminate the entire cave, right?
Just as she wanted to continue asking, Mo Bai suddenly let go of her hand.
As early as the moment before the progress cave, Mo Ying broke away from Mo Bai's embrace on her own, she was afraid that the moment she saw the light the picture was too beautiful, and she would not be able to stand it, and her blood would go up.
"Xiaobai?"
"Ahh Xiaobai, how do you take off your clothes! β
Mo Ying hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, peeking through the gap between her fingers at the ink white that had faded her coat.
Mo Bai stopped taking off his underwear, turned his head to Mo Ying, who was flushed and at a loss, and explained, "Take a bath." β
"Do you want to be in a place like this?"
"Hmm."
"Why bubble?"
"Cold water, good."
"This thing is good for you?"
After spending some time with Mo Bai, Mo Ying understood the meaning of his words.
She didn't say anything at the moment, covered her blushing cheeks, and secretly took off her last underwear.
"Hiss~" wiped the water stains at the corner of her mouth, and Mo Ying stood in place and didn't know what to do.
Mo Bai has already entered the water.
Should I turn my back on it and ignore it?
But I've already finished undressing, wouldn't it be a little late to turn my back now?
And Xiaobai himself is not shy.
Doesn't my twisting and pinching prove that I have crooked thoughts and a weak heart to be a thief?
Just when Mo Ying was at war and hesitating in her heart, Mo Bai in the pool turned his head to look at her, with a puzzled look on his face.
"I don't look at you!" Mo Ying hurriedly turned around, her back bent slightly against the waterhole, and her ears were red.
Mo Bai had a question mark on his face, the cold pool water flowed through every inch of skin on his body, and the extremely cold temperature had no effect on him, and I don't know how long it took, a mist gradually rose above the pool.
He glanced at the mist of the pool, turned around and shouted to Mo Ying, "Come, you can ...... Soak it. β
"Huh?"
AndγTake a bath with Xiaobai?
Lonely men and widows, this is not good!
οΌ*/βοΌΌ*οΌ
No, I sleep in the same bed with Xiaobai every night, and it's okay to take a bath together!
Okay, right?
Right?
bar.
Mo Ying turned her head reservedly and saw the ink white in the waterhole through her fingers.
Handsome face, fair skin, shoulders exposed to the water, black hair with water droplets.
"Pss
"Whew~Whew~"
Quickly retracting his eyes, Mo Ying stood in place, only as if he had heard it wrong, his cheeks seemed to be flushed with blood, and the "talisman" on his forehead flew up and down.
"Xiaobai, you can go clubbing by yourself," she said in a panic, her voice couldn't hide her nervousness and shyness, "IβI don't need it!" β
"Oh."
Inside the cave, the atmosphere was quiet.
More and more water vapor rises from the pool, and the temperature in the cave gradually rises.
The ink warbler can't feel the cold with the "talisman", but at this time it feels a little hot and humid.
Fine sweat gradually leaked from her forehead, and she didn't know if it was a mental effect or just the fact, her senses became sharp, and she heard every sound in the water behind her.
"Hula~" is the sound of stirring the pool water.
"Tick~" picked up the water and poured it on his shoulder.
"Hula!" It's the sound of getting up.
ββ¦β¦β
Rise!?
Is the little white bubble ready?
So fast?
I'd like to hear more......
Mo Ying was a little regretful, stood in place and waited for a while, and Mo Bai, who was dressed, came to her.
"Huh?"
"It's nothing," put away her depressed expression, and Mo Ying asked, "Do you want to go back?" β
"Take a dip," Mo Bai shook his head, pointing to the waterhole, "Good for you." β
"Hey, do you have to soak it?"
"Hmm."
"Okay," Seeing Mo Bai so insistent on one thing for the first time, Mo Ying didn't refuse, and turned to look at the pool where the water vapor was rising.
Hot spring?
That's what it's called, right?
I didn't expect to have the opportunity to enjoy it.
Thanks to Xiaobai.
Mo Ying took off her coat and was about to take off her underwear when she was stunned, and turned her head to look at Mo Bai.
"I don't look at you." Mo Bai turned his back sensibly.
Fold the clothes and put them on the edge of the pool, and the ink warbler walks into the pool, the water temperature is just right, not cold or hot.
It's so comfortable.
If only I could take a bath like this every day.
Boiling water is troublesome, and waste wood.
A bundle of wood and a penny.
The temperature of the pool water was too comfortable, and a sense of sleepiness gradually came up.
In a daze dream, Mo Ying felt surrounded by a squirming warmth.
The warmth scrambled into her body like a tadpole, penetrating through her skin and penetrating into her limbs like a headless fly, jumping everywhere.
The "talisman" on the forehead once again released a warm current, which flowed down from the heavenly spirit cover and flowed through the body, guiding the chaotic warmth to circulate in the body.
Every time I turned, my body seemed to become a little lighter, fluttering, and I felt like I was flying into the sky.
"Hmm~" I don't know how long I soaked, Mo Ying woke up, and the temperature of the pool water was already a little cooler.
If you soak it again, you'll catch a cold when you go back.
"Huh? How did this pillar fade? β
The attention of the ink warbler, who was about to get up, was attracted by the pillar in the center of the pool, and the stalactite-like stone pillar faded its milky white luster, revealing the blue ice inside.
Inside the icicles, there is a faint silhouette of a human figure.
Curious, Mo Ying slowly leaned forward.
With Mo Bai guarding by her side, she is not afraid of any mistakes.
β¦β¦ Speaking of Xiaobai, did he take a peek?
Fang just accidentally fell asleep and didn't pay much attention.
When he was distracted, he was already close to the pillar in the water, and in the blue icicle, the silhouette of the figure was getting cleaner and clearer.
"It's ...... Person!? β
Not daring to take half a step forward, Mo Ying retreated in her heart, and returned to the shore in a panic, she shouted in a trembling voice to Mo Bai, who was not far away with her back to the pond: "Xiaobai, there is a person in the pillar!" β
"Hmm." Mo Bai stood motionless, not showing any surprise.
Although Mo Ying couldn't see Mo Bai's face, she was sure that Mo Bai's complexion must be as calm as ever, and even a little cute.
"Xiaobai, come here, I'm afraid."
"Wait...... Don't turn around! β
"Wait a minute, wait for me to get dressed!"
"Oh."
Mo Ying clutched her chest and gasped, her cheeks flushed, and she forgot that she hadn't come out of the water yet.
You can't let Mo Bai see it.
The top and bottom covered stood up from the pool and went ashore, and the ink warbler suddenly fell into trouble again.
How do I get dressed?
How does Xiaobai wear it?
By the way, Xiaobai is a fairy, so he should be able to get rid of it all, right?
It's convenient and comfortable, and you don't need to wipe it.
Just as Mo Ying was thinking wildly in her head, the "talisman" on her forehead seemed to understand her predicament.
The golden light lit up, and in a few moments, the droplets of water on her body evaporated.
Feeling that her body was dry, Mo Ying raised her hand and touched the "talisman" on her forehead, and now she felt more and more that it was a good thing.
Pick up the belly pocket, wrap the strap around the back, and put it on yourself skillfully.
She was stunned when she lowered her head and knotted it sideways.
Shocked, confused, ashamed, panicked, all kinds of emotions flashed on her cheeks for a moment, her cherry-like lips trembled and opened, screaming that she was about to exhale in the next second.
Nope.
White.
Bare.
Like steamed buns.
