Chapter 18 Qingqing

After a full quarter of an hour, Ni Lihua got up, and saw that her slightly wet coat had dried, so she didn't pay attention to it. Looking around, the direction of coming is Wanggu Peak, now it seems to be a long and high cliff, most of the Wanggu Peak is hidden in the clouds. To the west, you can see the coastline, which is the city of Marina. Directly in front of you, you can see the whole picture of the towering snowy peaks in the distance, and now you can only see the mountain walls with hardy vegetation, but in this way, the snowy peaks are not as dangerous as Wanggu Peak.

"Ogawa, go. Ni Lihua took the sword and walked to the side of the flying wing.

"Senior sister, I'm hungry, I'll catch some fish to eat first. Ma Chuan stood up and walked into the tide.

"Come back, there is nothing alive in the sea. Ni Lihua stopped.

"Why?" Ma Chuan was puzzled.

"Haven't you heard of the sea of red dust?" Ni Lihua glanced at Ma Chuan.

"This is the Red Dust Sea!" Ma Chuan has heard people talk about the Red Dust Sea, and now that he thinks about it, it is very similar to Longquan Lake. But compared to Longquan Lake, no living thing can survive in it. The sea water is extremely bitter, he has experienced it before, he was splashed with a drop of sea water in his mouth, he didn't care about Ni Lihua's frowning, he kept snorting, washing with saliva, and until now his mouth was still full of bitterness.

"If you don't believe it, you just go out into the sea and try it, I will keep you even more uncomfortable than that raft race in Longquan Lake. Ni Lihua saw Ma Chuan's hesitation and was a little unhappy.

"I don't know if there's anything to eat on this island?" Ma Chuan hesitated, naturally thinking about this question.

"There should be. Ni Lihua seemed to remember something, and said in an affirmative tone.

"Shall we get the Flying Wings to the top of the peak first, or will we find something to eat first?" Ma Chuan naturally thought of how to leave the island.

"Let's go first. So Ma Chuan dismantled the flying wings, and the two of them each took bamboo poles and animal skins and walked towards Xuefeng.

The snow peak is indeed as it sees, it is not dangerous, there are some small mountains around, there are dense vegetation on it, a piece of green, listen to the sound, there are many small animals in it.

The two of them walked all the way and found some wild fruits at the foot of the mountain. When you're full, the speed gets faster. An hour later, the two of them set foot on the snow, but the snow-covered peak was really difficult to walk. The two of them climbed to the top of the snowy peak with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was already afternoon.

Standing on the top of the snowy peak, everything is clear at a glance. Looking to the west, you can see not only the coastline, but also the outline of the coastal city. Instead, looking in the direction from which they came, the cliffs that had been beaten by the waves became shorter, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be within reach.

Ma Chuan thought of the same way to leave, just as they came, to glide to the beach of Marina City with the help of flying wings. However, although the sea breeze was cool, the wind was not in the right direction.

"Senior sister, are we going to wait here?" Ma Chuan said as he looked at the white snow on the peak.

And so on. Ni Lihua looked in the direction of Binhai City, not knowing what she was thinking.

The two of them were silent, and after some time, the sun had faded, the wind was stronger, and the sky was thick with clouds.

"Senior sister, it's snowing. Ma Chuan felt a white thing floating on his face, felt cool, suddenly came to his senses, and said with some excitement. Although he often sees snow, how can he have the opportunity to stand on the top of the peak like this, his clothes fluttering, admiring the snowflakes like goose feathers.

"What are you doing in a daze, let's go, do you want to freeze to death?" Ni Lihua was already feeling cold.

The two had just reached the edge of the snowy field, and the wind and snow were even worse, and they almost fell off the cliff.

"No, you have to find a leeward place and take shelter first. Ni Lihua immediately made a decision, and the two circled halfway up the mountain.

"Senior sister, see if they are two white deer. Ma Chuan found two white figures not far away, and if he hadn't seen the black hooves and mouth, he would almost have thought he would be dazzled.

"If we don't freeze to death, we're going to fall off the cliff, you still have the leisure to care about Bailu!" Ni Lihua said angrily.

"No, senior sister. Since I was a child, I have heard my mother say that the white deer is a rui beast, and we follow these two white deer, maybe we can find a place to hide from the wind and snow. Ma Chuan hurriedly said.

After listening to Ma Chuan's words, Ni Lihua's expression was a little gloomy, and she silently followed the two white deer.

After walking out of a section, a small col appeared in front of them, and two white deer disappeared into the taiga forest in the col.

This coniferous forest is not big, but there is snow, and the two hurriedly walked into the col and walked towards the forest.

As soon as they walked out of the section, they found three wooden houses at the end of the forest, next to the mountain wall.

The roofs were covered with snow, the dilapidated wooden doors were hidden, and the papier-mâché windows were broken to the point of cold wind.

The two couldn't stand it in the wind and snow for a long time, so they put the bamboo pole under the eaves that could barely block the wind and snow, and pushed the door in.

Because it was still early and the snow was reflective, the two quickly saw everything in the wooden house.

In the middle of the room there was a low table with a lyre on it, and in the window there was a dressing table with wooden combs, hairpins, etc., and a wardrobe on the wall facing the door. But these things are covered in a thick layer of dust, and it seems that no one has used them for a long time. It's just that these things have traces of human movement, but the time of these traces seems to be not short.

There were piles of ashes left behind by burning grass and trees on the ground, and there was some dry wood next to them, which looked like the time when the marks were created. The other two cabins had somewhat collapsed, and were supposed to be kitchens or something.

"Senior sister, there are people living here!" Ma Chuan closed the dilapidated wooden door, and took out the fire knife and flint, and lit the pile of dry firewood for heating, this island is inhabited, he is naturally surprised.

"It seems that the legend is true!" Ni Lihua took out the animal skin and spread it on the ground, sat down by the fire, and said thoughtlessly.

"What legend?" Ma Chuan's eyes flashed with fear, although he had just killed someone yesterday, but in case the legend Ni Lihua said was a mountain spirit and a ghost or something, he was still very afraid.

"That's the story my dad told me when I was a kid. Ni Lihua's eyes looked at the flickering flames, and she didn't notice Ma Chuan's expression: "This has to start with the first owner of Longquan Villa." ”

"The first owner of Longquan Villa?" Ma Chuan was surprised at the same time, but he was relieved, this legend is not a mountain spirit ghost.

"Well, her name is Qingqing, a young woman, the first beauty in the rivers and lakes, not only is she talented and beautiful, but also has unparalleled skills in the world......" Ni Lihua said with reverence and envy.

"Senior sister, there is a cave here!" Ma Chuan heard that this was the place where the first beauty in the rivers and lakes lived, so he naturally imagined it, looked around, and found a hole next to the wardrobe by the light of the fire.

"Really?" Although Ni Lihua was not happy that Ma Chuan was not paying attention to her story, she was more curious about the cave, so she stood up with a few burning dry firewood.

The two pushed open the closet and walked into the cave, and by the light of the fire, they found that there was not much space inside.

The first thing that caught the eyes of the two of them was a pair of dry bones, Ni Lihua was okay, and she didn't show too much.

And Ma Chuan almost threw the dry firewood in his hand to the ground, and even more about to draw the long sword in his hand, but after being pulled by Ni Lihua's sleeve, he gradually calmed down.
