The path leading to the exit had been loosened, and he was able to speed up his pace down the mountain, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble for everyone to stand still in such a narrow place. This opening is difficult to find but easy to get out, there are still people nearby, but I didn't expect Xia Yan to really break through, and he was waved by his black sword, and it was easily solved.

Outside is a mountain forest with no real road, Xia Yan walked through it once, it was not difficult to identify the direction, but this time the snow fell deeply, but it made him a little suddenly lost. He slowed down. When twilight came, the unreality of not being half of the pursuers suddenly made him have a moment of illusion that everything today was really just a dream. There are no traps. There is no betrayal. He was alone, still waiting at the edge of the forest for the Vermilion Bird Festival to sweep away the hoarfrost, and accompanied him to the valley to propose marriage......

But what about the coldness on his shoulders? Suzaku's bones pressed heavily on his shoulders, was this—also a dream? He looked up and saw the snow that had gradually stopped, like a mocking burial after great joy and sorrow.

The intense pain suddenly hit his heart cavity, and he could no longer walk half a step, and curled weakly towards the dead tree beside him. He opened his mouth wide, and the cold wind blew from his breath into his chest and lungs, and all the way - the breath became a trumpet. Master, I have finally seen what I couldn't see before. I saw that what I had been holding on to - it was all wrong. Those despicable have always been in the dust, but the sincerity is not a pity. You've taught me right, but I've never listened!

--------

In the Green Dragon Valley, there was still calm where the bloody battle had not reached. Single-stabbed and single-flew two self-care houses to Cheng's house, and Yifei rushed in first, shouting excitedly: "Brother Ping! Brother Ping!"

The Cheng family heard the sound and went out to greet them, but it was Cheng Fangyu's father-in-law, Doctor Guan, who had already seen the stab, and said with a busy smile: "Grandpa Guan, you are also here - I heard that Brother Ping is back, is it true!"

Old Doctor Guan saw the two sisters and brothers, and his face was full of smiles, "Oh, you guys came quickly, but it's still a step too late, he just went out on the front foot - to enjoy the snow!"

Thorn couldn't help but sneer: "Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing when he came back?

Doctor Guan sighed: "Ping'er also just came back in the afternoon, and we were very surprised, we didn't know that he was coming, otherwise where would Fang Yu still be able to go out? - He naturally misses you, but thinks that you shouldn't be busy today? It's not good to pass now, and besides, this trip is not coming back alone, and he brought two little ladies, it is rare to come to Qinglong Valley, and on this snowy day, the family always has to go out to see the scenery. He laughed: "I told him that I will go down the road later and go to your house to ask for a drink to eat." ”

"Come to my house for dinner in the evening? Thorn said happily, "I've been busy for most of the day, if I hadn't seen someone pushing a float in and inquired about it, I wouldn't have listened to the wind." I heard that Cousin Rufei is also coming to the valley today, so I will tell my father, please come together when the time comes, and Grandpa Guan will also come?"

Doctor Guan smiled: "Today, your family is the biggest, and you can invite whoever you say." ”

Doctor Guan had already heard Cheng Ping talk about Xia Yan coming to the valley to propose marriage today, and at this time, he heard Thorn mention the "float", how could he expect that she actually didn't know anything about this matter, so a few words of dialogue, of course Thorn didn't think about it, only asked: "But it's still early to eat - where do they go to enjoy the snow, Brother Ping can say?"

"I didn't say it, but ......" Old Man Guan paused for a moment, his face darkened, "Ping'er came back and asked about the unintentional - I think he is always very worried about the unintentional thing, anyway, he has to go to his grave to have a look, Fang Cai - went in that direction." ”

The thorn bit her lip and nodded. "Then I'll go look for him. ”

After saying goodbye to each other, the thorn flew away from Cheng's house first.

To the southwest, where the burial was unintentional, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. In fact, the stabbing on the way up the mountain felt wrong - there were no ruts or footprints, at least for a short time, no one had been to the unintentional grave. However, she has been busy working in the Gu Mansion today, and she has not been here yet, thinking that today is the first heavy snow after his death, and she should have come to accompany him, so as not to make him feel cold underground.

There was no trace of Cheng Ping in front of the grave. "Maybe the snow was too big, and the two sisters-in-law couldn't walk, so they didn't come for a while. She conjectured with Yifei.

Shan Fei nodded: "Brother Ping has always been afraid of the cold, on such a snowy day, he may be cold." ”

"yes. "I forgot, you remember." But—I heard that he was much better than before, and besides, he was fine with his aunt. I guess it's somewhere to rest. ”

Shan Fei said "um". "Let's wait here for a while. ”

The two sisters and brothers wrapped themselves tightly in thick clothes, while brushing the snow on the tombstone, talking with each other, as if they were so unintentional and would know, and they would really be happier. But the forest here is sparse and short, and when the wind and snow are urgent, the blowing surface is awe-inspiring. The two of them had to crouch under the tombstone for the time being, sheltering from the wind and keeping warm.

"Why is it snowing so hard all of a sudden? Thorn regretted a little and rashly dragged Shan Fei here, holding his hand, "Yifei, are you cold? Let's go back first when the wind is lighter, otherwise the snow will be deep and it will be difficult to go down the mountain." ”

"yes, I've never seen this snow. "A single fly down is more of a thrill. "Has my sister seen it?"

Thorn shook his head: "I used to be there in Huaibei when I was a child, but here—it's still so early—I really haven't seen it." She suddenly became a little sad, "Maybe...... Maybe your eldest brother went back to Huaibei and brought it here. When he was young, he was like you, and he liked this kind of snow day. If he's still ......"

"Sister. Yifei held her hand, "Don't be sad, in the future, I will protect you like a big brother." ”

Thorn only wanted to cry and laugh when he heard it, "Sister won't want you to protect you, you stupid boy, just protect yourself in the future, don't be like your eldest brother, deceive others." ”

The most awesome wind was a quarter of an hour, and then it retreated a little. The snow was still very heavy, but fortunately it was not terrible, and the two siblings were busy taking advantage of this moment to go down the mountain and go home.

At this time, it is more than half of the time, all the way deep and shallow and stepping on the clean thick snow is not fun, but to the vicinity of the house for a mile or two, the snow has become very thin, quite uneven, occasionally you can see a few footprints mixed with the remnants, some dirty, as if there are many people running here.

There was nowhere else around here except his own house, and Thorn was very curious: "Why do so many people come to my house on such a snowy day?" The closer we got to the house, the cleaner the ground became—the path outside the house and the snow near it had been swept away, and the new snow had only made the ground wet, and there was no trace of footprints, and two or three people were still sweeping the tail.

"What are you doing, there's a guest coming?" asked Thorn, as he approached and grabbed a man.

The man was a single housekeeper, and when he saw the thorn coming, he was startled, and hurriedly said, "Girl, we ...... Nobody came, we ...... In the snow plowing. ”

"No one is here to sweep the snow?" said the stinger, "the snow is still falling, it's so big, you can't sweep it clean, why don't you wait until you stop and sweep again?" and urged: "Go back quickly, tomorrow when the sky is fine." ”

The two or three looked at each other. Seeing that it had been almost swept away, he said, "That's all up to the girl." ”

"Sister......" greeted Shan Heng from the gate of the courtyard, his face was a little strange, "...... How did you get back?"

Thorn laughed, "I'm going home, and it's not going to happen?"

"It's not...... That, I mean, it's snowing so hard, you don't have a cover, why did you come back in the snow......" Shan Heng hurriedly motioned to Jia Ding to take a clean oilcloth and thorn and fly to cover the top of his head, "Come in quickly!"

Thorn reached out and grabbed the tarpaulin, pulled Shan Fei together, and walked into the courtyard. Most of the sight of her head and face was blocked, she didn't pay attention to Shan Heng's expression, but Shan Fei glanced at her brother and then secretly gestured to the side, curiously probed out to take a look-that side--A family member was hurriedly holding a robe in his arms and walking out.

It was a little gray, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether the robe was purple or yellow. However, such a bright color, since the death of the eldest brother in the past few months, has not been seen in the single house. I was about to take a closer look, but it was dark in front of me, and the thorn had already torn the tarpaulin and said, "Your head is exposed." ”

It was only a few steps before I went under the eaves. The two men loosened the tarpaulin and shook off the snow on their bodies. "Second brother, aren't you with your father and mother?" Shan Feidao, "Didn't they come back?"

"I didn't ...... No. "I'll be back first." They...... They...... said that he wanted to accompany Rufei's cousin to the house first......"

"I'm telling you, it's a good day. Thorn only smiled, "Cousin Rufei is coming, Brother Ping is also back, I just went to see him, but unfortunately I didn't see him, I told Grandpa Guan to ask them to come to our house for dinner in the evening, it's not early at this time, don't ask them to clear the snow, quickly prepare the hall, I'll go and change my clothes." ”

"Ah, oh......" Shan Heng hurriedly responded, and Shan Fei also stomped his feet and said, "It's all wet, I'll change it too." ”

The two sisters and brothers went upstairs, and Shan Hengcai breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in the hall. Of course, the upstairs was the first to be cleaned, and the room of the thorn had long been scrubbed clean, but it was impossible to eliminate all the footprints outside, but at the moment, the thorn should have found no clues.

"It's a really good day. - He thought of the stabbing sentence, and finally there was a little bit of it in his heart.
