Chapter 56: I'll Do Anything for You
After exiting a side door in the main hall, she walked back to the courtyard along the route she had taken, and the lotus pond and the small bridge in front of her were covered in heavy snow, and the whole courtyard seemed cold and empty.
She stopped in front of the door, and when she pushed the door open, the room was still the same festive as when she left, and everything had not been moved, not even the word "Xi" on the window had not been torn off.
Xihe went all over the mountain hall, and even the back mountain was still empty, and even the young lady didn't know where to go.
When she turned back to the room where she had lived, she found that the door was closed, but she went out directly, and this door could not have been closed by her, and she noticed that this courtyard was strictly guarded before she came in, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, and only Yu Jingzi could enter and exit at will.
She must ask why she has been avoiding her?
She pushed open the door and shouted, "Yujingzi." β
But the room was still the same as she had been before, there was no change, and naturally it was empty.
Xihe walked in and walked around, and indeed didn't see a single figure, but her intuition told her that Yujingzi was here.
"Yujingzi, why don't you want to see me? Are you mad at me? She said into the empty room, "Are you okay coming out?" I have a lot to ask you. β
"Yujingzi...... Ahem...... "Xihe covered his chest and touched the edge of the bed to sit down, the corners of his eyes were wet, and he muttered in a low voice, "Why don't you want to see me?" Why ......"
Doesn't he like to cling to himself?
Didn't you say that she wouldn't marry in this life?
Why can't you get rid of her in the first place, why are you turning her away now?
She didn't know how long she had been in the room, and by the time she came back to her senses, the snow had stopped outside, and she looked back before she walked out of the yard, with a sickly look on her face, and a pile of loss and sadness in her eyes.
At this time, the two people hidden in the house came out from behind the bed, and a pale Yujingzi looked out through the window of the room, watching Xihe drag out of the courtyard with a long cloak.
He clenched his palm, and drops of bright red blood dripped from his palm down his fingers to the ground.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this......" sighed the young lady standing behind him.
Yu Jingzi said coldly, "Didn't I tell you to get her a warm cloak?" Why did you take an invisibility cloak from her? β
The young lady immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Highness, it was the old slave who trespassed, but the old slave knew that what His Highness wanted to see most was Miss Xihe, and I couldn't bear to see His Highness sad all day before I made a decision privately......"
There was no one in the courtyard, and Yu Jingzi still looked at the direction where Xihe had just walked out, and after a long time, he said, "That's it, even if you don't help her come in, she will come in by all means, so it's better to let her die." β
"Your Highness, you can meet her, you should have seen how sad Miss Xi and Miss were for you just now."
After another period of silence, Yu Jingzi said, "Mi Niang, follow me to another place." β
β¦β¦
The snow in the desert just stopped for a long time and began to blow snow all over the sky, the air was cold, the cold wind was wanton, the further you went, the snow seemed to fall heavier, and the goose feather snowflakes blew on Xi and his face, a tingling pain.
She looked up at the sky, the sky was as white as the earth under her feet, the sky was dull, countless snowflakes fell down, and smashed on her cheeks, eyes, lips, cold and cold, so depressed and numb and happy.
Heavy snow covered the area of Pansnake Mountain, and she could not find her direction in the already empty wasteland.
She walked aimlessly in the snow, the snow under her feet was squeaked by her feet, and the people who wanted to see her did not want to see her, and now that the spell was difficult and she couldn't go anywhere, so she could only wait for the snow girl to come to her.
After walking for a while, she suddenly saw a looming mass in the raging snowstorm, and after she stumbled forward for a while, she saw that the black thing was actually several semi-circular tents, all wrapped in a thick layer of cowhide to prevent the snow from seeping in.
She walked around in the snow and unknowingly walked to the village of the reverse sand, at this time the wind and snow were too big, her body had not yet recovered, not to mention, after consuming all her mana, she blew in the snow for a long time, even if she was beaten with iron, she couldn't hold it, she could just go to the village to hide from the wind and snow.
It was already evening, and it was snowing heavily, and when Xihe walked into the village, almost every household had closed the curtains, and she walked forward again to see if she could meet someone who had not yet closed the door to borrow it temporarily.
She was intrigued by the fact that almost every house had a strip of red cloth tied to the fence, which she hadn't noticed the last time she came.
The red cloth strip was particularly conspicuous in a pale snowfield, and some people probably had already tied it, and the red cloth strip on the bar had been covered with snowflakes, only showing a little red, but none of them fell off in this raging snowstorm, which shows that it was firmly tied.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind herβ
"Mother, it seems to be snowing heavier tonight than yesterday, let's go back to the house first......"
She turned slowly and looked at the silhouette of the man not far away.
He was indeed as Xue Gu said, his white hair almost blended with the snow, and he was also wearing a white fox fur coat, and he was looking up at the gray sky at this time, and he looked sad without his usual laughter.
The maiden beside him saw her, but Yujingzi hadn't noticed her approaching.
When the mother saw her coming, she was stopped by Xi He when she wanted to salute her, and she smiled at her with satisfaction and then retreated.
"Let's go, Niang." He withdrew his gaze, and as soon as he turned around, he was caught off guard by Xihe's rather surprised and sad eyes.
His eyes were also shocked, and his mouth opened but he didn't make a sound.
"Your hair...... It's really all white. "The sound is very small.
All of a sudden, her mind went blank, her eyes were a little sore, and tears were falling uncontrollably.
Yujingzi's eyes moved, and after hesitating for a moment with the hand that wanted to wipe away her tears, she still took it back.
He returned to his usual playful appearance and teased, "Sister, shouldn't you be recuperating in the Heavenly Palace at this time?" Why do you suddenly have time to come to this snake mountain? Didn't you miss me and come to see me? β
"Well, I came to see you." Xihe did not deny it.
She asked, "I went to Pansnake Mountain to look for you, and those little demons said you don't want to see me, why don't you want to see me?" β
"Maybe those little demons misheard." He tried to perfunctory the past.
"Your hair...... Aunt Xue said to me......"
Yu Jingzi saw Xihe's little face that knew how to be white, and his teeth were also tense when he spoke, so he couldn't help frowning, and was interrupted by him before Xihe could ask, "Sister, it's cold and snowy outside, let's talk about it in the house first." β
Entering the house, Xihe sat down cross-legged face to face with him, and there was a pot of burning charcoal under the tea table.
Yu Jingzi stretched out her hand and pushed the charcoal basin between her legs, her stiff body instantly turned cold into warmth, and suddenly her body seemed to be soaked in hot water, and the heat surged all over her body.
Yu Jingzi carefully made a cup of hot milk for her and handed it to her, "Sister, drink some milk to warm up first." β
Xihe took the cup, held it in the palm of her hand to warm her hands, and she continued to ask, "Yujingzi, is what Xuegu told me true?" β
He lowered his eyes and was silent.
"You really saved me by exchanging your life's cultivation for Xuandu's resentment water?" She asked.
Seeing that she was sad and blamed herself, he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile, "Sister, are you moved by me?" β
Xihe clenched the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, looked at him and smiled, as if saying to himself, "It seems to be true......"
"Why are you so stupid? Am I worth it for me? Do you know that if you don't have a lifetime of cultivation, you will lose your life? β
He smiled faintly, "Sister, I told you before, I am willing to do anything for you, even if it is to take my life, if there is no you in this world, my existence is meaningless." β
"Is it because I saved your life in Lishan a thousand years ago?"
He blinked a little unexpectedly, "Sister, do you remember?" β
She lowered her head and smiled, and replied, "I remember this, but in your ...... with the mountain I only remembered it when the Demon Venerable was talking. β
"Did you hear it all?"
Xihe nodded and explained, "Although Ji Lian occupies my body, my consciousness is clear, and I know what you said and everything that happened in between. β
"I see."
After Xihe got a clear answer from his mouth, he put down the cup and walked outside, saying hurriedly as he walked, "I must not watch you die, my master must have a way, I will go back to my master now and beg her to save you." β
As soon as she lifted the door curtain, Yu Jingzi said behind her, "Sister, your body hasn't recovered yet, don't waste your efforts in vain, if Xianzun could really help me, he would have helped a long time ago." β
She didn't give up and said, "Even if my master can't do it and Di Jun, Di Jun is so powerful that he will definitely be able to save you, I'll beg him." β
He stood up and walked behind her.
I wanted to hug her from behind but still put down his hand, he said softly, "Sister, I don't want to see you because I'm afraid that I will be sad and blame myself when you know it, now that you know it now, can you stay with me?" I've been missing my sister a lot these days. β
The wind and snow blew on her face, Xi He let go of her hand, she hung her head slightly, her body trembled a little, Yu Jingzi also endured her sadness, showing a faint smile, "Sister, okay?" β
Xihe wiped the tears from his face, turned around, raised his face and looked at him with a smile as much as possible, and replied to him in a thick nasal voice, "Okay." β
When night fell, the cold wind howled outside the plug, and the snow was pouring down, and when Xihe stood outside the tent, he noticed that a red cloth was also tied on the fence opposite, but it was not tied on his courtyard door.
It happened that Yujingzi came out of the kitchen with the freshly made milk cake, and saw her standing in the wind and snow and frozen, so she hurriedly urged her into the house.
After the two entered the house, Yu Jingzi put the plate in front of her and said with a smile, "Sister, this milk cake has just come out of the pot, you can taste it quickly, it is the best to eat it while it is hot." β
Xihe just wanted to take it with his hands, but Yujingzi conjured a pair of chopsticks out of nowhere and handed it to her, "Hot." β
