In January, Mount Qingcheng ushered in the first heavy snowfall, covered with snow, shrouding the entire Mount Qingcheng in a world of snow.

Chi Yao, who grew up in the south and had never seen heavy snow, was overjoyed, and early in the morning, she happily built a snowman in the courtyard.

Today, she is still very bloated, and she forcibly buckles three layers of thin single clothes on her body.

Her hands and cheeks were red from the cold, but she couldn't stop her childlike innocence.

Half-height snowballs were constantly piled up by her, Chi Yao ran into the room to get a few silk handkerchiefs, broke a few branches on the tree, the strange-looking snowman was ready, and the huge courtyard welcomed a few small guests.

She squatted among the snowmen and smiled sweetly.

The tenth junior brother who went up the mountain to bring her breakfast was slightly stunned when he saw Chi Yao looking like a child, and when his eyes swept to the clothes on her body, his brows furrowed, "Senior sister, can't you put on the cotton clothes?"

Chi Yao turned around and looked at the tenth junior brother who was walking towards her, her clever little eyes moved, she picked up a small pinch of snow on the ground, quickly formed a ball, and hit the tenth junior brother.

The tenth junior brother was not angry when he was hit in the face, he took off the snow from his face with one hand, walked to the stone table, and said, "Senior sister, where are we going to eat?"

"Going inside, it's really cold. Chi Yao shivered coldly, leaving the tenth junior brother and walking towards the room.

The tenth junior brother shook his head helplessly, picked up the food box and chased after her.

"Can't you put that cotton coat on?" Senior Brother Ten approached the room, stamped his feet vigorously, stomped off the snow on his shoes, put the food box on the table, and took out the food inside.

Chi Yao hurriedly walked towards the stove, because of playing in the snow, his hands were not very cold, but his body was a little stiff from the cold, "What do you know, I call it animal protection, I don't understand, why our empty cotton clothes are made of fox fur, so we can't change individual hair?"

"Isn't it still animal fur? Just say you don't want to wear fox fur. The tenth junior brother said with disdain.

"That's right, when will the rabbit fur you set for me arrive?" Chi Yao warmed up and walked towards the tenth junior brother, pulled out the stool and sat down.

"It is estimated that in the past few days, it has snowed heavily recently, and there may be some delay on the road, I am surprised, why don't you wear the cotton clothes that Senior Brother Seventh went down the mountain to buy for you a few days ago?"

"It's not that I don't want to wear it, it's just that the clothes are too ugly, besides, you are all pink, Tsing Yi, I wear a big red, what's the reason, if I am seen by my uncle, I will not be punished. ”

Chi Yao picked up the chopsticks, ate his meal, remembered something, and asked, "Can you inquire about what I asked you to inquire about?"

The tenth junior brother took a bowl of hot millet porridge and handed it to Chi Yao, and said, "I have inquired, but the location is not good, you really want to go, if the senior uncle knows, won't you be punished again?"

Chi Yao took a sip of millet porridge and glanced at the tenth junior brother, "When do I plan to do it?"

The tenth junior brother paused, and muttered in his heart: You usually don't talk much.

"Where?" Chi Yao took a sip of the hot millet porridge, and the chill on his body instantly faded.

"On the hill behind the Temple of Clouds and Harmony. After eating a few bites of food, the tenth junior brother put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I heard that the master used to like to go the most, little senior sister, I think you should take it easy, why don't I find someone to dig a big pit for you in your yard and get you some artificial hot springs?" As long as you speak, I guarantee that you can do it." ”

Chi Yao's mouth twitched, "I know that your family is rich, can the artificial one be compared to the natural one, besides, I have heard from the seventh senior brother, it can heal, looking at it, there is such a hot spring in the entire Qingcheng Mountain, do you think I can miss it? Besides, isn't the master still back, and the uncle is not here, don't you wait for when at this time?"

The tenth junior brother only nodded slightly, "Okay, then tonight?"

"Of course!"

"Just the two of us, don't you call the seventh senior brother and the eighth senior sister?"

Chi Yao sneered, "If you want Eighth Senior Sister to go, just say it!"

At night, Chi Yao, who finally managed to stay up until the end of the day, sneaked out of the bamboo heart building with a thick cloak, and stood near the Qinghua Hall waiting for Chi Yao's tenth junior brother, and glanced at her with great contempt, "Didn't you say that the eighth senior sister would come?"

Chi Yao hurriedly pulled him under the tree to the side and whispered, "Can't you be quiet?"

"No, you can't. ”

Chi Yao said helplessly: "When did I promise you that Eighth Senior Sister would come back, besides, we are going to Houshan, do you think that Eighth Senior Sister was knowingly offended, and Seventh Senior Brother rejected me harshly, not to mention Eighth Senior Sister." ”

"That's right. The tenth junior brother glanced at Chi Yao up and down, and wanted to turn around, "Then I won't go, you go clubbing by yourself." ”

Chi Yao hurriedly pulled the tenth senior brother and said, "Don't, you take me first, you can just leave when the time comes, do you want me to take you to practice with the eighth senior sister tomorrow?"

The tenth junior brother was helpless, "Then what you said, you can't break your word, I'll go and leave." ”

"Of course, of course!" "I won't dare to soak in the hot springs if you don't leave!"

"Let's go, then. ”

The climate on the mountain was much colder at night, and Chi Yao, who was thinly dressed, followed behind the tenth junior brother, feeling more and more cold.

She looked back at the dense woods and began to wonder if the ten junior disciples really knew the location of the hot springs.

"Senior Brother Ten, are you sure we haven't gotten lost? We've been walking for three quarters of an hour. ”

The tenth senior brother stopped and looked around, "It should be right, I remember that this is what the sixth senior brother said." ”

Chi Yao was taken aback, "You say, who are you asking?"

The tenth senior brother said, "Sixth senior brother." ”

Chi Yao laughed dryly, "Who are you asking badly, ask him? You don't know that he has a grudge against me? Forget it, I'd better go back and come back tomorrow night." ”

Seeing that Chi Yao was leaving, the tenth junior brother hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Don't, little senior sister, we are really coming, you believe me once, we are all here, how can there be a reason to return in vain." ”

"Okay, okay, hurry up and find it!" Chi Yao was full of regret, she knew that he was doing things so efficiently, so it was better for her to inquire by herself.

The two of them continued on their way through the woods, and the snow on the mountain was heavy because of the snow it had fallen the other day, and they stepped on the snow and creaked.

But the stronger they walked, the less snow fell on the ground, the more sparse the trees became, and soon the two of them walked out of the woods and came to a clearing.

The clearing was extremely empty, there were no weeds or snow around, but there were many large and small stones similar to rain flower stones, and the stones were paved on the ground naturally forming a path, and the two of them walked along the way, in addition to the sound of the stream flowing, they could also feel that the temperature here was much higher than in the forest.

Chi Yao and the tenth junior brother were overjoyed and moved forward quickly, and soon they saw a large pond surrounded by large stones in front of them, and the pool was so large that they could not see the edge at a glance because of the fog.

"Little Senior Sister, it seems that this is the hot spring in the forest you said, you use it slowly, I'll go first." Before he arrived at the hot spring, the tenth junior brother was about to leave in a hurry, Chi Yao thought that he was okay and just waved his hand and let him go.

After the tenth junior brother left, Chi Yao swaggered towards the hot spring, but as soon as he walked to the edge of the pool, he saw a figure faintly in the hazy mist.
