Inside the thatched house, Huang Ya stopped talking.

In the snow, Xie Duyan and Liu Yu glanced at each other, and their eyes were gloomy.

For a while, there was silence inside and outside the house, and the air between heaven and earth seemed to be condensed, and only the fine snow was still falling.

Squeak!

The door of the thatched house suddenly opened, revealing Huang Ya's smart eyes, and said coldly to Xie Duyan: "Come in, remember, it's not because of your scheming!"

Xie Duyan didn't expect her words to work, she glanced back at Liu Yu, and her face couldn't hide her ecstasy. Huang Ya opened the door slightly wider from the inside, and Xie Duyan immediately picked up her skirt and entered the door.

There was only a thud, and the door closed again after Xie Duyan entered. The person who closed the door must have been Huang Ya, who was quite hard, and did not consider the feeling of Liu Yu standing in the snow outside the door.

Liu Yu stared at the closed door, feeling that the days were like years, and his heart was pounding like a rabbit. Over the years, even in the battle formation, he had never been so frightened, but he didn't expect to be defeated in front of a small thatched cottage today.

He took a deep breath of snowy air, only to feel cold and dry, and after a moment of warmth in the abdominal cavity, he spit out again, and the moment he came out of his lips, it turned into a swirling white mist.

He didn't know how many times he took a deep breath, until it was getting dark, and he saw the door open again.

Liu Yu suddenly woke up and stared at the door in a daze, anxiously waiting for the upcoming results.

The dim light in the thatched cottage sprinkled on the white snow through the crack in the door, and it actually dyed a trace of warmth in his heart. He excitedly speculated in his heart that perhaps, the three days and three nights of waiting had finally paid off the desired result.

However, things didn't go the way he had imagined.

Xie Duyan walked out of the door, his head bowed, and he was silent.

Behind her, the door slammed shut again, crisp and clean.

"How's that?" Liu Yu didn't want to ask, but he couldn't help but open his mouth after all.

"......" Xie Duyan didn't speak, and shook his head.

"Is Zhuge poor?" Liu Yu asked again.

"In. Xie Duyan finally opened his mouth, his eyes gloomy.

"What did he say?" Liu Yu's voice unconsciously quickened.

"He didn't say anything, he just met me and told me to go. Xie Duyan sighed.

In her life, she has encountered countless setbacks and failures, but she has never experienced such a strong sense of frustration as she does today.

"That's all?" Liu Yu couldn't believe it.

"That's all. Xie Duan said.

She walked straight to the place where the two had been tied to the horse, and Liu Yu followed closely behind her, only to see the two horses tied under the tree, and the snow had completely covered the horse's legs, drowning to the horse's belly.

Xie Duyan's hand touched the saddle, only to feel cold and abnormal, and when he looked closely, he saw that the horse's eyes were still open, but there was no light.

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to try his mount, but he also lost his breath, and said with a wry smile: "We stayed here for three days and three nights, and we completely forgot about these two horses and let them freeze to death, which can be described as a sin." ”

"Let's go back?" Xie suggested, not wanting to linger here for even a moment.

"Okay. Liu Yu nodded heavily, and exhaled a large stream of turbid air from his nose.

The two walked side by side on the snow in this cold night, the north wind howling, and their hearts were quite heavy. The road to Chang'an was only a few dozen miles, which was not far for people like them who knew martial arts, but at this moment, the two of them seemed like a long distance.

Maybe it's not the road that grows, but the light in people's hearts, the light that leads to hope.

The sky after the snow was very clear, and it was as if it had been scrubbed. Countless stars twinkle in the deep blue sky, forming a distant and vast silver sea, beautiful and charming.

The two walked slowly on the snow, and Liu Yu inadvertently looked sideways at Xie Duyan. Xie Duyan's hair bun was already black and towering, and it was inlaid with a line of silver under the light of the stars, adding a solemnity to the beauty. Liu Yu opened his mouth and couldn't help but look stunned.

However, Xie Duyan never looked up at him again from beginning to end, but just looked down and thought about what was in his heart. There is a mechanical step under his feet, and every step is a pit.

Liu Yu looked down at the footprints she left in the snow, and felt that the shape was wonderful, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a lotus flower.

It's just that Xie Duyan's expression was solemn, and he didn't realize his beauty at all.

Seeing this, Liu Yu immediately dispelled his desire to continue to imagine. He retracted his gaze and looked at the vast snow forest in the distance, he really couldn't understand what that Zhuge Qian had said to Xie Duyan that could make her feel so heavy.

......

Inside the thatched house, in the dim light, a worn-out jujube wood table is the only decent furniture in the house.

Huang Ya and Zhuge sat opposite each other, sighing for a long time.

Huang Ya supported her chin with both hands, staring at Zhuge Qian who was on the opposite side, only to feel that he had never been so serious.

Zhuge Qiao's abnormal behavior obviously frightened Huang Ya, and she couldn't help but say, "Do you really plan to leave?" Zhuge and the Huang family have lived here for hundreds of years, and they have already sworn that they will never set foot in secular disputes again. ”

Zhuge Qian let out a long sigh and blew the lights in front of him to flicker, "Girl, you shouldn't say that in front of Xie Duyan, no matter what, it's not a choice she can change." ”

"I thought she was just Xie Youzhi's daughter, who would have thought that their Xie family was actually the Xie clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, she begged you in the name of the Xie family, if I didn't interrupt her thoughts, you would definitely go out of the mountain. Huang Ya was a little aggrieved.

"Back then, you and I avoided the Central Plains, and with the world's corporal clan dressed in clothes, if it weren't for Xie An's help, I'm afraid there would be no you and me today. Moreover, Xie An defeated the Northern Dynasty in the Battle of Weishui, and he was also a handsome man for a while, and there was nothing wrong with his descendants being proud of him. Zhuge Qian said slowly.

"Do you really want to go out of the mountain to repay your kindness?" Huang Ya's eyes widened.

"Not to repay the favor, but when the time has come. Zhuge stood up, and there was no young man's frivolity in his demeanor, and he was like the one in the past. But Huang Ya was not surprised by this, obviously in her eyes, the person in front of her was the real Zhuge poor.

Zhuge looked at Huang Ya with a gentle gaze, "Girl, are you willing to die in the mountains and forests, and let what you have learned all your life turn into dust with your body?"

Huang Ya lowered her head, "I just want to stay in the village and stay with you until I grow old." ”

Zhuge Qian shook his head, "In my opinion, the great chaos that has been rare for hundreds of years has arrived. No matter where you and I hide, we can't escape. The only way is to take the initiative and become a trendsetter in this troubled world!"

He grabbed Huang Ya's hands and clenched them tightly, "Your attainments in arithmetic are far better than mine, if you refuse to go out of the mountain, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to support the overall situation alone in this troubled world."
