The cotton-like heavy snow is falling hard, and a hurricane is roaring in the mountains, with a radius of hundreds or even thousands of miles. Apart from this color, there is only a black shadow, which moves unharmoniously.
Yes, that was Su Ming. This was the heaviest snowfall in the past few years. Even Su Ming couldn't find his way down the mountain due to the heavy snowfall.
Su Ming moistened his chapped lips with his tongue, his eyes were a little hollow, and he kept walking forward step by step without stopping.
He had been trapped on this mountain for about a week. It started to snow on the second day after he left the monastery. The map in his hand had long become a decoration, and he only knew that he had to move forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, wisps of cooking smoke rose not far away. Su Ming looked in that direction and muttered in a low voice: "I hope it's someone else's house." Then he continued to drag his tired steps towards the direction of the cooking smoke.
Su Ming can now walk with consciousness. The food in the ring was eaten up three days ago. If it weren't for those unlucky beasts, Su Ming wouldn't be able to survive now.
Cold, lonely and long, this is the true portrayal of Su Ming at this time. The aroma of wine quietly penetrated into Su Ming's nose. He took a sharp sniff, raised his head and looked straight ahead. The word "wine" appeared in Su Ming's nose.
In eyes.
Su Ming pushed the door open and entered. There was only the proprietress in the store. She was taking a nap in the cabinet. As Su Ming opened the door, the cold air from the wind and snow poured into the store instantly.
"Waiter, serve the wine." Su Ming came to the table and sat down, his voice was very tired.
When she heard someone was coming, the landlady got up and came over.
"The best apricot blossom wine is here, sir, where did it come from?" the landlady said politely while pouring the wine.
"Northern part." Su Ming picked up the wine bowl and poured it into his mouth. A wave of warmth flowed into his stomach, which made him feel better.
"That's far enough, do you need to prepare anything else?"
After Su Ming recovered, he realized that she was a little girl. She was dressed simply and was about sixteen years old. She was short and thin and looked like the girl next door.
"There is something in the store to go with the wine." Su Ming's eyes did not stay on the little girl for too long.
"Go and prepare the wild game in the mountains for your guest."
The little girl's voice was very soft and her movements were very skillful. Not long after, a plate of game was brought to Su Ming.
After the food was served, the little girl did not leave. Instead, she sat opposite Su Ming and looked at him. She held her chin in her hands and looked at Su Ming with her big watery eyes.
"Look what I do." Su Ming grabbed the leg of an unknown bird and chewed it. There was no grace at all in the way he ate.
"I have been in the mountains for half a month, and you are my first guest in this half month. You finally came to talk to me. How can I let you go?" the little girl said.
"Didn't your parents come to see you?" Su Ming said.
"The store has plenty of food and wine, but I've never been here before," the little girl said helplessly.
"Then your parents are really relieved to leave you alone in the mountains." Su Ming was speechless. What kind of parents could be so careless and let a little girl live in the mountains.
"Who says it isn't?" said the little girl.
"Can you please stop staring at me like this?" When Su Ming picked up the wine bowl and drank, he accidentally looked at the little girl and found that the little girl was still staring at him, taking a sip of wine without choking.
"Your guest is so handsome. I have never seen him before. I'm afraid I won't be able to find him in the future, so I must take a good look at him." When the little girl smiled, her eyes were like crescent moons, so cute.
"Do you know the way down the mountain?" Su Ming asked.
"Well, walking south from here, there is a small town. Are you lost?" the little girl said.
"Stop looking, help me prepare more food. I want to take it away." Su Ming shook his head and felt helpless.
"OK."
"I'm getting some jars of apricot blossom stuffing."
"knew."
The table was full of things, and Su Ming put them into the ring with a wave of his hand. The little girl saw the things disappear out of thin air, and looked at Su Ming with gleaming eyes.
"You are an immortal, you are an immortal, right?" The little girl took Su Ming's hand and shook it, her eyes full of admiration.
"Not really." Su Ming didn't answer directly, but he didn't deny it either.
"No wonder you are so handsome, can you teach me a lesson?" the little girl said.
"You and I are destined. When I come next time and you are still here, I will consider it." Su Ming said.
"Well, I'll wait for you."
When Su Ming opened the door, the little girl shouted: "Guest, please remember me, don't forget me."
Su Ming smiled slightly and walked out.
"Go south, it should be this way." Su Ming said, looking at the only path in front of him.
After walking a few hundred meters, Su Ming looked back at the tavern in the distance and found that there seemed to be many more customers outside the shop. From a distance, there seemed to be a flag.
Su Ming thought to himself: "Why did the army come to a place like this? There are so many people. It seems that the little girl's parents will be back soon to deliver supplies."
a few days later
At the foot of the mountain, both sides of the river bank are covered with snow. The river must have just frozen. If you look closely, you can still vaguely see the rapid surging of the water in the river.
An army gathered by the river bank. A man in gorgeous clothes was at the front of the formation. In front of him were these three people, a man, a woman, and a little girl. They should be a family of three. The man was about thirty years old.
His body can't be said to be strong, but it can be said to be sharp and angular. The bruises on his body prove that he has suffered a lot.
The woman held the little girl in her arms. The little girl's face was red from crying, and the woman kept comforting her.
In the ice and snow, a family of three stood in sharp contrast to the army on the opposite side.
He said to a man in rags not far away: "Despicable slave, as long as you can run away from here, I will give you your freedom."
The slave turned around and ran outside. An arrow was shot in front of the slave road. He was so frightened that he quickly stood up and the man's voice sounded again.
The man pointed to the other side of the river and said, "I want you to run over here."
The slave looked at the ice and hesitated, but unexpectedly another arrow shot at his feet. The slave no longer hesitated and ran straight to the river.
He ran very fast, but there was no mercy on the ice. There was a cracking sound, which was the sound of the ice breaking. He no longer had any hesitation and started running with all his strength, watching the other shore getting closer and closer to him.
As he got closer, he smiled proudly.
But when he turned back to look at the man, what he saw was not the man's angry expression, but a mocking smile.
Click, pop, two sounds sounded one after another. A feeling of weightlessness made him feel desperate, but it was only for a moment. Then came the biting cold. He grabbed the broken ice on the ice with both hands and climbed up desperately, but
His feet could not reach the ground. The rapid current and the overwhelming chill swept through his body. He quickly lost consciousness and fell into the cold lake water. He flowed under the ice, declaring his final defeat.
"Okay, next one." The man said with satisfaction as he looked at the slave submerged in the ice.
