Under the darkness of night, the increasing wind and snow made visibility even lower. Xia Zhaoxue originally wanted to send the girl to Yuanhe Sect, but now he had to find a flat place to rest temporarily.
The girl had a severe fever, her forehead was hot, her face was red, she murmured from time to time in her sleep, and her speech was slurred.
Xia Zhaoxue put a small cloth wrapped in snow against her forehead. Under the weak firelight, the girl's face was very delicate and somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Judging from her age, she was younger than the one she met last night.
Snow was falling heavily outside the shade of the trees. Xia Zhaoxue looked up and looked around. He had to find a way to get some hot water and herbs.
Girl, Xia Zhaoxue said to the sleeping girl, I will be back soon. If you wake up, remember not to be afraid.
After saying that, he saw the girl's tightly knitted little face, and his thick eyebrows also frowned slightly.
After a pause, he broke off a branch and went to the flatter snow ground inside.
Girls may not be literate, but they should be able to understand paintings.
Xia Zhaoxue drew a few simple small paintings, fearing that the girl would not notice the paintings when she woke up, so he drew a few arrows next to the girl and then left.
The night is endless, and the people on the mountain are still searching through the darkness.
Nearly fifteen people, lighting ten torches, searched layer by layer, very carefully.
Master! This way! Dai Yu stood on the edge of the cliff and shouted, there is something down there.
Hearing this, Shen Lie rushed over immediately, with Du Xuan following behind him holding a torch.
The cliff is so steep that it is almost vertical.
About three feet below the cliff, there was a small loose baggage hanging.
I'll go down and take a look. Shen Lie said, and immediately walked towards the gentle cliff on the other side.
Master! Du Xuan follows, Master, wait for me! It’s dangerous here!
Other people came over and asked what happened.
The old man saw the baggage and said, "Wait for me here."
Seeing the old man going down that way, Dai Yu and Du Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't! Old man, it's dangerous!"
However, they saw that the old man was extremely agile. Before they could see clearly, the old man jumped down from the top of the mountain. As light as a sparrow, his plain-colored robes flickered and he was already under Shen Lie.
Everyone was stunned and jumped. Shen Lie lowered his eyes and paused slightly.
This skill
This old man is so powerful! Dai Yu was surprised.
Du Xuan blinked and said: I remembered it!
What?
Ali Du Xuan said.
When she was in Yanyun Wei Mansion, the girl flew over the walls and made fun of almost everyone. Her flexible figure at that time seemed to be a ghost.
Shen Lie looked at the old man. He had reached the sloping wall in an instant and took down the baggage.
The rest of the dry food fell off the cliff. There was also a cake stuck by the baggage and branches. There was a small red seal stamped on the outside of the cake paper. If you look closely, it read "Lian Fei Pavilion".
The old man looked down the cliff and then at the mountain wall behind.
Shen Lie jumped down from Xiaogaopo, glanced at the cake in the old man's hand, and said: Senior, I'll go downstairs.
The old man nodded: Okay, I'll look here again to see if there are any blood stains.
The word "blood stains" made Shen Lie's spine stiffen, and he said in a deep voice: "It won't happen. I'll go down first."
Um.
The old man watched him leave and held the cake in his hand tightly. He wanted to ask a lot about the girl, but now was not the time.
The old man withdrew his gaze and looked at the other frost and snow on the cliff, only here and below.
Starting an hour ago, they stopped digging in the snow and searched for cliffs and falling snowdrifts.
After so long, if it was really buried, it would have lost its life. If it was still alive, it must have climbed a cliff or accidentally fallen.
The dead body can be found slowly, but the possibility of living must compete with the times.
Du Xuan and Dai Yu saw Shen Lie coming down from the top and hurriedly held up torches to come down together.
The road on the cliff was very difficult, and there was accumulation of frost and snow in many places. If they were not careful, they might fall into the abyss. In the end, they could only reluctantly extend the torch as far as possible from above, trying to let the firelight illuminate more areas, but for For the entire cliff, these firelights are quite weak, as small as gravel.
Shen Lie walked down the snow, and there were no roads in many places. She had to rely on the strength of her arms to support her. Fortunately, not long after going down the cliff, there was a long snow slope. The snow slope was full of soft and slippery rocks sliding down the cliff. There was a large area of snow, and in the distance was a broad river. The water was not completely frozen, and it was flowing forward very slowly.
A cold wind suddenly rose, and the sky was covered with frost and snow. Shen stood on the huge snow slope panting, looking at the vast snow, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense.
After a while, he started searching again, starting from the southeast.
The fire became smaller and smaller, and a few dead branches crackled in the fire.
Xia Zhaoyi was awakened from her dream by severe pain. She opened her eyes, and there was dim light all around. The wind and snow blew from the gaps between the tall branches. She looked at the wind and snow, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was alive or dead. of.
After a long time, she sat up with her body propped up. The wounds were all over her palms. The bones all over her body seemed to be broken. She felt sharp and severe pain in her calf. She reached out and rubbed her calf to make sure that the bones were not really broken, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The memory gradually became clearer in my mind, she was not dead.
At this time, he saw an arrow drawn on the ground beside him out of the corner of his eye. Xia Zhaoyi turned his head and looked in the direction of the arrow.
There were a few simple small paintings on the snow. She climbed up and limped over.
It is a very simple painting, but it is understandable. It is simple but not crude. The main idea is that she has been rescued. The person who rescued her is now looking for medicine and water and will be back soon.
The painting skills of this painting are not shallow. It is different from the freehand landscape painting. The painting style of this painting is vivid and unique. I have never seen it before. The painting is not new because there are a lot of fine frost and snow covering it. I don’t know what is going on. How long has it been?
Moreover, the fire in the fire beside him was almost extinguished.
Another gust of wind blew, and Xia Zhaoyi reached out and hugged his arms.
Her body was obviously very hot, boiling hot, but she felt very cold at the same time. Coupled with the injuries she suffered, she suffered from cold pain.
The breath she breathed was filled with white smoke. She looked around and had to find some dry branches to keep the fire going. She couldn't freeze.
Coming out of the flat ground, she looked up and saw many torches in the distance.
Xia Zhaoyi reluctantly climbed up the tree and stepped onto the small slope. The torches seemed to be coming towards her. Judging from the number of people, they were not the size of the imperial army.
who is it?
Was it brought by the person who rescued her?
Or did you come over after seeing the burning fire on her side?
Judging from the direction they were traveling, they were indeed on her side, so they should be coming.
Xia Zhaoyi took a breath into his hand, turned around and sat down carefully on the snow slope.
The big tree next to her was covered with snow particles. She leaned over it, feeling so painful that she didn't want to move.
She closed her eyes in a daze and was about to fall asleep again. She heard the sound of footsteps stepping lightly on dead branches in the frost and snow. She opened her eyelids hard and looked around. In her blurred vision, she saw a tall and tall man walking from the snow path. She noticed that Her presence, looking up.
