Before Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli finished their meal, they heard a commotion outside, as if someone looking for Young Master He had returned.

Sure enough, Mo Wen came in and reported: "Master, we found Young Master He and rolled down the snowy slope. But he saved the girl and came up. Please go and have a look at the Queen Mother."

Shangguan Ruoli is a woman and knows medical skills, so it is most suitable for her to go.

Shangguan Ruoli naturally did not refuse, so he immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks, got up and walked out.

Passing through two small doors made of ice and snow, we arrived at the outermost snow cave.

Young Master He was holding a bowl of ginger soup and drinking it with lingering fear. He lost his hat and his eyebrows and hair were covered with snow and frost.

Lying on the ground was a woman wearing nomadic clothes. Her face was gray and her eyes were closed. There was still snow on her face. It looked like she had been buried in the snow for a long time.

Seeing Shangguan Ruoli come in, Mr. He quickly stood up and briefly explained the process: "I rolled down the snow slope, and the snow drifts on the slope slid down and buried me in them. I was so anxious that I used my hands

Unexpectedly, we dug the hole in the wrong direction, and dug her out from under the snow. Then the master arrived and dug us out."

The accompanying doctor came up to her and saluted, saying: "Master, although her pulse is gone, her body is not stiff yet and she should still be alive. It will be inconvenient for me to check her more carefully."

The next check is to take off your clothes and listen to your heartbeat.

The men all retreated. Shangguan Ruoli asked Zi Yan to unbutton the woman's clothes, took out the stethoscope from her backpack, and listened to her heartbeat. "There is still a heartbeat, although it is very weak, but it proves that she is still alive."

He turned to face the outside and said, "Have someone prepare some soup and medicine, and call Ling Yu's two maids to come over."

Then, together with Zi Yan, he took off all the woman's thick clothes.

Two maids came in a hurry, "Master, please give me your instructions."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "You and Zi Yan, rub her body with snow."

Frozen people cannot use hot water to raise their body temperature, as it will cause frostbite. They must take a bath in cold water. There is no bathtub here, and they can only rub their bodies with blood to restore blood circulation.

Shangguan Ruoli performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the woman, but the effect was not very obvious, but she still persisted.

Half an hour later, the woman's heartbeat returned to normal, and Shangguan Ruoli and the others were already sweating from exhaustion.

The woman was dressed in warm clothes and drank a bowl of hot ginger syrup.

At this time, Shangguan Ruoli noticed the woman's appearance. The woman was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with deep and delicate facial features. She was a beautiful and exotic girl.

Not long after, the girl's butterfly-wing-like eyelashes moved, she moaned faintly, and slowly opened her eyes.

Those eyes were dark blue, as bright as a clear spring, making her whole person more bright and majestic.

When she saw Shangguan Ruoli, her eyes lit up and she said something in the language of Xirong.

Shangguan Ruoli said to Zi Yan: "Let Mr. He and An San come in."

As a border eldest son, Young Master He understands the languages ​​of Beiling and Xirong.

The reason why An San is placed on the northern border is naturally because An San is proficient in the languages ​​​​of Beiling and Xirong.

Young Master He and An San came in one after another, and their eyes flashed with surprise when they saw the woman.

The woman was a little confused and said something to Shangguan Ruoli blankly.

Young Master He smiled and said: "She said this is not heaven? Aren't you a fairy?"

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "I am not a fairy, they rescued you."

Young Master He chuckled and translated for her, introducing the identities of several people, of course they were disguised identities.

The woman said that her name was Dalima, and she was Gege from the Raihatud tribe. Her father Khan wanted to marry her to someone he didn't like, so she ran away and wanted to go to her grandfather's tribe, but she was caught in a heavy snowstorm.

.

Xirong is a nomadic people. They migrate from tribe to tribe chasing water and grass. They have no fixed residence and are difficult to manage and rule. Some powerful tribes can easily break away from the control of the Xirong royal family.

The Raihatud tribe is a relatively powerful tribe. The past few years have been good and their lives have become prosperous.

They also often exchanged things needed by their own tribe through Mozhen trade, and also traded with Rakshasa and the Western Regions to exchange for materials needed by the tribe.

Therefore, they did not want to pay tribute to the Xirong royal family.

In previous years, tributes were paid to cattle, sheep, horses, jewelry, etc., in exchange for grain, medicinal materials, cloth, porcelain, etc. from the court.

Now that we only pay tribute, we can get other things by ourselves through business, so why should we give things to the Xirong court in vain?

Therefore, the Raihatud tribe wanted to contact several more powerful tribes to break away from the rule of the Xirong court.

This Dalima should be a tool used by the Khan of the Raihatud tribe for political marriage.

Shangguan Ruoli asked Young Master He to tell her, "Let her stay here to avoid the wind and snow for the time being. When the wind and snow stops, she can go wherever she likes."

Young Master He translated the original words to Dalima, and she was slightly surprised. Her father Khan was the king of the northern grassland, but these people were so calm and did not want to send her back to the tribe to ask for reward from her father Khan.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't speak the same language with her, so he stopped talking to her. He left a maid to serve her, asked Young Master He and An San to act as translators, and went to accompany Ling Yu.

The people of Xirong are strong and open-minded, and there is no strong defense between men and women, so this does not violate the rules.

The wind and snow continued for another day and night. During this period, Shangguan Ruoli visited Dalima twice. The little girl calmed down and became more beautiful. She was also quite outgoing and was talking and laughing with Mr. He.

Shangguan Ruoli asked Mr. He to tell Dalima that he would set off as soon as the weather cleared and asked her to think about where to go.

If she follows them, they will pass near the Raihatud tribe, and they can take her for a while. If she continues to her grandfather's tribe, then she will go on her own, and there will be no one to see her off.

Young Master He said he understood. Doesn't this mean that he wants Dalima to return directly to her own tribe?

Dongming Ziyu had been coaxing Ling Yu and did not meet Dalima. When setting off, he still disguised himself as a bearded man.

Shangguan Ruoli is not disguised, but she is wearing a hat, a mask, and a big scarf, so her appearance cannot be seen.

Ling Yu was used to seeing her parents change their appearance these days, so it was no surprise that she was wrapped up tightly and nestled in Dongming Ziyu's arms.

After exiting the snow cave, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Looking around, it was a vast expanse of white without any color, and the group of people seemed to be on a vast white sea.

Fortunately, everyone has sunglasses, which can block the wind and prevent snow blindness.

The horse-drawn sledge has been prepared, and the guards are coming and going to load supplies onto the sledge.

The sledges that Dongming Ziyu, Shangguan Ruoli and several maids sat on were all modified from horse-drawn carriages. When they got to land, they removed the wooden planks and put on the wheels, and it became a horse-drawn carriage again.

Shangguan Ruoli walked to the carriage and asked Young Master He: "Where is Dalima?"
