Yueyang Tower is very lively, thousands of horses day and night, the sound is not stopped.

The wing room on the eighty-first floor upstairs is very quiet, there are only two people, two bamboo slips, one black jade, one emerald green and a pot of light wine.

"I said Lao Cao, Bai Xiu has been in a daze all night"

"There is Luo Jue, don't worry too much. Last night, Qingfeng Zhai and a few people didn't make a ruthless move. ”

"Luo Jue was almost killed last night"

"It's not alive like this"

"Aren't you afraid of the wrath?"

"Haha... Haha" The natural hearty laughter echoed in the wing, but there was no ...... in the wing.

It's another morning

Snow stepping for three days, looking for plum blossoms. There were white clouds in the sky and a clear sky, but a huge dark cloud was approaching thousands of miles away, pressing the land under the clouds very dull. This is a harbinger of a heavy snowstorm to come.

Last night, Luo Jue ran out of more than ten miles with Bai Xiu on his back before stopping.

After hastily bandaging his wounds, Bai Xiu still showed no signs of waking up. He knew that Bai Xiu was not seriously injured, but he was just knocked unconscious by the blow of those people. It stands to reason that you shouldn't have been asleep for so long...

Until now, Bai Xiu has been in a coma all night, and the high fever does not go away.

Luo Jue didn't know how to treat medicine, so he didn't dare to turn out his internal qi and pass it to Bai Xiu, let alone run back to Wentian with Bai Xiu on his back, the only thing he dared to do was to turn into a tube of warm water and feed it.

It's not that he didn't think about finding some branches and leaves to start a fire to warm up, but the bamboo branches covered by frost were damp when he started, so he couldn't burn the fire for a long time. In the end, I could only find a large pile of bamboo leaves to cover Bai Xiu's body to shield a little from the cold.

He was worried, annoyed at the same time...

Annoyed, he knew that someone was going to come looking for him, otherwise that person wouldn't have made a move last night......

He waited for the man all night. But the man disappeared as if he had disappeared without a trace, except for the last night's shot. Although he hated the man's calmness, he had to hope that the man would appear calmly quickly.

Luo Jue picked up the new bamboo branch again and turned it on the new bamboo piece.

His attitude towards doing things seems to be as arrogant as his character...

The stumps of wood on the ground prove that he has been sitting here for a long time. Even though he spun countless pieces of bamboo, he was still spinning. The sound of shredded wood has been wafting through the forest.

But how can a wet bamboo branch and a wet piece of bamboo spark sparks?

No matter how stubborn and arrogant you are, it's just a futile move...

The damp cold is piercing, and the wood is broken...

It's been a long, long time...

"Sand... Sand..."

The bamboo bushes in the distance made a sound, as if someone was mixing grass.

The bamboo branch in Luo Jue's hand finally stopped turning and stopped......

The person he was waiting for finally came.

Although it was somehow so late, it's always good to come.

The man didn't greet Luo Jue when he came, he walked to the firewood that Luo Jue had piled up last night, and easily lit it with flint and steel. Then build a shelf out of bamboo and put the melted snow water on it. Then he took out a few pieces of ginger and five or six bamboo rats from the package, and began to clean them up with a knife.

It's Xia Xun...

"Why are you here now?" Luo Jue asked unpleasantly.

"The people of Qingfeng Zhai followed them all night, and it took time to drive them away. There are still a lot of people coming here, and it will take time to lure them away. It takes time to find these things," Xia Xun said angrily, pointing to a few bamboo rats in his hand.

Luo Jue felt a little guilty, walked to Xia Xun's side and squatted down, picked up the bamboo rat to help clean it up.

"Hanmei can't give it to you. Last night and today, I owe you two favors"

"Okay, I remember" Xia Xun said lightly, snatching the bamboo rat that was torn out of shape by Luo Jue with one hand, and then peeling and disemboweling. After everything is processed, put them on the shelves one by one and carefully sprinkle them with incense powder.

"You really don't look like an enlightened person" Luo Jue, who had nothing to do, sat on the bamboo pile on the side.

"You are not like a disciple of the heavens"

As soon as I said that...

Luo Jue's expression froze, staring at Xia Xun with a hidden killing intent.

Xia Xun flipped the bamboo rat casually, and continued: "She was not injured, but last night you only cared about fighting, but you threw her into the snow and lay down for so long, and she froze out of her injury, it was typhoid. Since it is a cold, it is necessary to ward off the cold and replenish the blood of the injured body. The forest is so big, snakes and rats can look for it, and it doesn't hurt to eat it raw. But you have melted the snow here all night. Don't teach these things?"

The killing intent disappeared, and Luo Jue felt that he would be wrong, and he was embarrassed and speechless.

The snow water in the bamboo tube was boiling, Xia Xun poured the prepared ginger slices into it, picked up a piece of washed bamboo and stirred it carefully.

The ginger slices poured in were very spicy, and the two of them couldn't help but cry just because of the mist that came out...

"Can I drink this?" Luo Jue's arrogant eyes were red with spicy.

Xia Xun nodded and motioned for him to feed the ginger water to Bai Xiu. After Luo Jue hesitated for a while, he still relentlessly took the bamboo tube.

He fed it very carefully, and he completely lost that arrogant look. took the bamboo spoon given by Xia Xun and fed it gently, spoonful by spoonful. Each spoonful should be cooled for a while, and only when he thinks it is not hot can he pour it in.

"Don't be cold, keep it hot"

"It's hot, okay?"

"Okay," Xia Xun said with his back to the two. Without looking back, he still used bamboo branches to flip the bamboo rat that had turned slightly yellow.

Luo Jue was helpless, but still did it.

A large bowl of bamboo tubes, when the bamboo rats are roasted and fragrant, Luo Jue barely feeds them.

"She's sweating!"

"Or else?"

"Sweating a lot!"

"I know"

"She's sweating a lot"

Xia Xun found that this arrogant man was not so arrogant when it came to white embroidery. Perhaps, as he said, ask the heavens not to teach this common sense. Xia Xun didn't bother to explain to him, because he knew that in the face of that worry, no matter how much he explained, it would be in vain.

After cleaning his hands with snow water, he picked up the bamboo rat and tore the meat and chewed it. Maybe it's time, the aroma of the barbecue is much stronger than last night, and Xia Xun eats much slower.

The winter sun is warm, and the green bamboo is shaking.

The gentle cold wind warmed up a little under the warmth of the afternoon sun. The verdant bamboo forest, where there is not even birdsong, is quiet and quiet.

After Xia Xun was full of food and drink, the tiredness of not sleeping all night hit, so he randomly put away the bamboo rats that no one had eaten, spread some dead leaves on the spot, and fell asleep. Luo Jue, who was still flustered at first, stopped talking and nagging after seeing Bai Xiu's pale face showing a faint flush. It's just that he still stays by Bai Xiu's side every inch.

The swaying bamboo leaves, from time to time low droplets of water melted by frost and snow.

After sleeping all night, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her eyelids slowly opened, and she woke up.

Luo Jue's expression suddenly perked up, and he asked nervously, "How do you feel?"

Bai Xiu started slowly, straightened up and yawned, and said, "I'm hungry."

"You wait"

Luo Jue hurriedly took out the roasted bamboo rats from Xia Xun's package. It's just that when he opened Xia Xun's package, he was stunned. I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses, and I didn't think about it anymore, and continued to take out the bamboo rats one by one. However, the bamboo rat has been cold for a long time, and the barbecue is slightly hard. Helpless, he continued to dig out two flints from the package and walked to the pile of bamboo charcoal that had been extinguished.

"Click... Click... Click......"

The two stones kept crashing into the screeching sound, and it didn't stop for a long, long time...

The gap between the sounds is getting denser and denser...

The sound is getting louder and louder...

Just by the rhythm, you can easily hear the irritable mood of the stone beater.

"Give it to me"

Luo Jue put the flint and steel in his hand stretched out in front of him with a look of chagrin. Annoyed asked, "Why can't you get fired?"

Not long after falling asleep, Xia Xun, who was woken up by the sound of hitting the stone, his eyes were still hazy and half-muddy. After taking the flint, he used his sleeve to dry the moisture on the stone, and gently hit the bamboo charcoal pile, and the fire caught fire. He said, "The stone is wet, how can it make fire?"

Xia Xun put the bamboo rat on the shelf and reheated it. Pour some snow water out of the bamboo tube, pour it over the meat, and sprinkle it with fragrant powder. Because it was already cooked meat, it was quickly heated through. He tore off a piece at random, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Okay"

Luo Jue didn't have the slightest sense of courtesy, and directly picked up the entire shelf and brought it to Bai Xiu.

Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh and feel a little weird when he looked at it. It's not that Luo Jue is rude, it's Luo Jue's behavior that makes him feel that this man and woman don't look like a couple, nor like brother and sister. Because Luo Jue's performance today was really a little too careful.

The bamboo rat cooked by Xia Xun should be very suitable for the taste of white embroidery, or maybe he is too hungry. When they met through the building, Bai Xiu's clean and delicate appearance was now full of greasy and unknowing. While biting the bamboo rat, he was talking to Luo Jue beside him.

"He's here to grab Hanmei?" Before the rat meat could be swallowed, Bai Xiu asked vaguely.

"No, it's already been said. He doesn't rob. ”

"Oh, that's good. Bai Xiu looked at Xia Xun, "You have good skills, where did you learn it, and you plan to be a cook or something in the future?"

Xia Xun was embarrassed by the question, scratched his nose and said, "I can read it in the book." ”

Bai Xiu ate rat meat, looked at Xia Xun carefully, and pondered. Suddenly, I remembered something.

"Oh... I remember you, you were the one who helped me find the book last time. It was the Xia Xun who made Old Man Li angry to death. ”

Xia Xun's face was even more embarrassed: "It's not that I'm angry, it's a ...... who asks for death" "Eh, no, it's not asking for death... yes, hey..."

Xia Xun spoke a little incoherently, and as he spoke, he found that no matter what he said, it didn't seem right. He always thought that Li Yan's death had little to do with him at all. But Li Yan did die because of him, and he had to admit it, so he simply didn't say it.

"It doesn't matter if he's angry or asked, in short, it's just that you killed him. Bai Xiu thought for a while and continued: "Why do you dare to come? Yin Tianci rushed back from the Western Regions to take your life. You're fat enough. ”

Xia Xun realized that this girl was not the same as her quiet appearance. It seems that the words are too direct.

"I have to go up the mountain to see it, so I can feel at ease. ”

"Oh," Bai Xiu nodded clearly. Nodding, his eyes unintentionally swept over Hanmei in his hand, and he said again: "I won't give this thing to you, don't be delusional!"

Xia Xun shook his head lightly and smiled.

Bai Xiuhu looked at Xia Xun suspiciously and looked at it for a while. Blinking his eyes and looking at Luo Jue: "Yesterday, he helped you drive away those demons together?"

Luo Jue nodded

Bai Xiu asked urgently: "Then you told him that you owe him a favor again?"

Luo Jue continued to nod.

Bai Xiu's eyes were over, pretending to faint, and he said weakly: "It's over, Yin Tianci, that fool, doesn't recognize people."

"You don't have to make a move on Yin Tianci," Xia Xun said with a smile, and at the same time picked up the knife and went to the side to cut the bamboo.

Bai Xiu's eyes opened, she got up, patted her chest with her hand, and said with palpitations: "That's good... That's good."

Xia Xun scratched his nose: "If it's really enough to make a move, just help me block that person's four moves" continued to chop the bamboo, the bamboo was very thick, and it was very difficult to cut with his strength.

"Who's that man?"

"I don't know yet"

“......”

Luo Jue couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"It's going to snow, build a shed. Come and give me a hand."

“......”

"Yin Tianci's matter, we can't help you..."

"It's okay"

“......”

"The lake in front of you, it's hard for you to get across. ”

"There's always a way..."

A few people chatted, cut bamboo, and built a shed until dusk and sunset, and saw that the white embroidery was no longer a big problem. Xia Xun led Luo Jue to catch some hibernating bamboo rats and green snakes in the surrounding jungle. Cooked the sumniest dinner for the three of them since stepping on the snow.

Because Luo Jue's injury was not healed, and Bai Xiu was recovering from a serious illness, the two went to bed early after eating enough. Xia Xun didn't sleep, he tied up the thick bamboo that had been chopped in the afternoon, one by one, tied it into a two-zhang high bamboo row, and pounced on the dry leaves. Then he lay down on the bamboo raft and fell asleep.

There was no incident all night, and there was no snow in the sky......

When he woke up the next day, Xia Xun said goodbye to the two and left.

Luo Jue and Bai Xiu have found Hanmei, as long as they go directly up the mountain.

Xia Xun still needs to continue to walk in the snow and look for plums in this eighty-mile bamboo forest. And fifteen miles ahead, it is the ice lake that the people who are looking for plum must pass through.

Xia Xun dragged the bamboo raft he slept on yesterday and carried the package away...
