Chaimen heard the dog barking, and returned to the people on a snowy night.

Back to Qingya, it is already the moon, the mountain gate is closed by heavy snow, and the mountains are vast.

Breathing in the cool air that penetrated deep into her heart, the white-haired girl wore thin clothes and returned from the snow at night. Although it has only been less than half a month since I left, everything in the mountains seems to have changed.

The bamboo forest was crushed by heavy snow, and the thick snow buried the forest path. The snow reached knees, the movement was slowed down, step by step deep pit, walking half a mile, and finally pushed open the door of the small courtyard.

The snow in the courtyard was even worse, and the front of the door was blocked, but fortunately, the bamboo hut was unharmed.

Walk to the eaves of the porch, push open the door of the main house, find firewood, raise the stove, only a moment, the fire is all over the house, dispelling a little chill.

Hua Ying squatted in front of the stove, rubbing her little hands and roasting a small fire, the light of the fire illuminated her cheeks, and a sweet smile was filled with it.

"It would be nice if Senior Sister could come back sooner, on such a cold day, two people can only warm up."

By the light of the fire, Hua Ying was warming up, and at the same time recalled her senior sister's babbling and reckless appearance, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.

She really wanted her senior sister to come back earlier, but unfortunately her senior sister had to accompany her family, and according to the agreement between the two, she would not come back until the next year at the earliest.

In other words, in the next month, she may be the only one on this mountain.

She was used to the noise of her senior sister in the past, but now that the mountain has become so calm, she is quite unaccustomed to it, and she always feels too lonely.

"I'm going to visit Master tomorrow morning, after being away for so long, Master must miss me too."

With a plan in mind, Hua Ying picked up the stove and prepared to go back to her room to sleep, but when she passed by the master's room, she couldn't help but push the door and walked in.

Looking at the familiar layout in the room, she put down the stove, silently walked to the bed, lifted the curtain, lay on the bed, and fell asleep in tears.

Following.

When she woke up early in the morning, Hua Ying opened the door to clean up the snow in front of the door, and it took a little time to clean up the courtyard. Then I cooked some more rice, served it in a bowl, and then ran straight to the back mountain.

The snow has stopped, and the air in the mountains is unusually fresh.

Master's current snow is very heavy, Hua Ying first swept away the snow with her hands, and then placed the bowl of rice and a few fruits in front of the tombstone.

Kneel respectfully.

"Master, Ying'er has come back to see you."

An hour later.

Hua Ying, who said a lot to the master and cried a lot, finally went back.

For the next few days, she would come every day, talking to the master while quietly waiting for the senior sister to return, and the days went by.

The New Year is approaching, the Lijia Village at the foot of the mountain is still in full swing as in previous years, every household posts couplets and hangs lanterns, and the sound of firecrackers bursts, so lively.

Hua Ying hasn't been down the mountain for a long time, and today she came to Lijia Village to buy some New Year's goods, and she was lively and happy to have a good year.

Although she is the only one on the mountain now, she can't settle down, right? In the past, I spent every year with my master and sister, but this year is different, and I can't be sloppy when I live alone, I have to buy everything I should buy.

Good food, good drink, fun and good clothes, nothing is missing.

"Two Fat ......"

As soon as she entered the village, Hua Ying stopped a little friend and was about to ask something.

Although she has grown up in the past few years and has come to the village less often, her friends all remember her, especially this one called Erfat, when she saw that it was Hua Ying who stopped her, she quickly turned around and ran, shouting in a low voice while running:

"No, that kind of scholar doesn't have ......"

“......”

Hua Ying froze in place, and it took a long time before she burst out laughing, and couldn't help muttering, "How do you remember that, I didn't ask you to borrow a book." ”

These two fat, I'm afraid I won't dare to talk to myself in person in the future.

Shaking her head helplessly for a while, she walked to the village again, admiring the window flower couplets on the doors of every house on both sides of the street, and looking at whether there were any familiar friends.

At this time, two middle-aged men passed by, and what they were talking about attracted Hua Ying's attention.

She hurriedly stopped the other party and asked, "Uncle, did you just say the Flying Fox Gate?" ”

"Hey, it's a young girl, I haven't seen you come to the house to play with Xiaocui for a long time, it's the New Year, come and sit at home."

I met an acquaintance, and it was Xiaocui's father who was talking at this time who borrowed books from Hua Ying before, Hua Ying has had a close relationship with Xiaocui's family in recent years, and Xiaocui's father is also one of the few people who know her real name, and everyone else calls her Er Ya in the village.

Hua Ying bowed her hand and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, I just heard you talking about the Flying Fox Gate, what's wrong with the Flying Fox Gate?" What happened? ”

"You mean the Flying Fox Gate, the Flying Fox Gate was destroyed by someone a few days ago, the news just reached the town, and I just came back from the town, aren't I in a hurry to come back to discuss this matter with the village chief." Xiaocui's father explained.

"Alas, our realm used to be under the control of the Flying Fox Gate, and the Flying Fox Gate is now suddenly in trouble, and it is rumored that most of this matter was done by the Knife Gate of the Linxian County, and there may be some chaos in the future."

"Thank you, Uncle, I see!"

After Hua Ying thanked her, she didn't care about staying here, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the entrance of the village.

After she left, only Xiaocui's father and the people who accompanied her were confused for a long time, and said to herself: "This child, I don't know what's wrong today." ”

Hua Ying quickly returned to the mountain, took out her long sword from the room, and rushed straight to the back mountain.

"Master, forgive Ying'er, I'm afraid Ying'er won't be able to celebrate the New Year with you this year."

Hua Ying held the tombstone, her lips trembled slightly, and her face was bitter, as if she was making a final goodbye.

"Senior sister is going to be dangerous, since the Flying Fox Gate has been destroyed, I am afraid that the next thing is the Second Sect of Thousand Swords Piercing Clouds. Although I have already made an appointment with my senior sister, I have decided to destroy these two factions in a few years to avenge you when the exercises are completed, but I don't think that my senior sister has already made plans to leave me alone and act alone, and now I ......"

"Now only I have to stop it, otherwise Senior Sister is more than lucky, and the two factions of the Thousand Swords Piercing Clouds can control the entire Yongzhou, and it is definitely not a single Flying Fox Gate that can be compared."

"Although Ying'er is not very capable, she will not sit idly by and watch her sister die alone, otherwise there will really be no relatives in this world. Master, this trip is difficult, and if something happens, Ying'er can only reunite with you after going below. ”

"Today in this Qingya Mountain, Hua Ying bids farewell to her mentor Chai He, and hopes that there will be a time to sweep the tomb again in the coming year."

"This time, let's go."

With tears in her eyes, Hua Ying finally cherished the handwriting engraved on the tombstone, looked up to the sky and smiled at the endless starry sky, and then went down the mountain in the vast night.

No more looking back.
