In the Valley of Forgetfulness, the evergreen trees are still luxuriant in the harsh winter, but their original greenness has been obscured by snowflakes, leaving only the white snow on the trees.
Hange was dressed in a snow-white velvet, with soft mink fur wrapped around her neck. Even in the snowy sky, she did not feel the cold at all.
She squatted in front of Tie Yue's stone house and looked at the snowman that had just been piled up, but she said with a melancholy face: "Isn't it good here? Why do both Meier and Shangguan want to leave here so much?" From the time she first came here,
She fell in love with the mountains and rivers here. After knowing that there was no way to leave here, she gave up all thoughts of leaving and stayed here peacefully. She stayed here for almost five years.
Tie Yue stood behind Hange, looking at Hange's small body squatting on the snow with fond eyes, and said softly: "Everyone cares about different things. They are in the world of mortals, and there are
With unfinished business, of course I can’t stay here forever.”
Hange suddenly turned to look at Tie Yue and said loudly: "They can't just forget about the past! Why don't they give up even though they know they can't leave here?"
"Hange..." Tie Yue looked at Hange's reddish eyes distressedly, knowing that she was sad again, "I know you want to be with Meier and the others, but there is no banquet that lasts forever.
Since you like them, you should help them do what they want to do instead of letting them make things difficult for you."
"I don't want... wuwu..." Hange buried his head in his knees and cried softly, his little body shaking uncontrollably.
Tie Yue squatted next to Hange, patting her back gently with a big hand, feeling extremely distressed but not knowing what to do.
Nangong Mei and Shangguan Ziyan stood in front of an unreachable mountain, their eyes full of helplessness and disappointment. They followed the river for several days, thinking that the end of the river was the place to go out. As a result, the river water started from here.
It passes under a huge mountain and is so tight and seamless that no one can pass through it.
Full of hope, yet again in this heavy snow.
Shangguan Ziyan put his arms around Nangong Mei's slender waist and said gently: "There will be other ways, let's go look for them."
Nangong Mei shook her head gently and said, "It's useless. We could have gone out long ago if there was a way. Maybe this is really an isolated place. You can only enter but not leave."
"No!" Shangguan Ziyan's eyes were full of determination, "This place has existed for thousands of years, and countless people have fallen off the cliff. There will always be people who are unwilling to be trapped here and want to get out. They want to get out,
Even if we can’t find a way out, we will find one! And that way is just that we haven’t found it yet!”
A flash of light flashed in Nangong Mei's eyes. She recalled certain things and said, "Maybe there is someone who knows the way out."
In the ancient forest, the largest tree still stands upright between heaven and earth. Although it has been dyed into an old man with white hair, it still hangs the long swing with its strong arms.
The swing made of vines swayed slowly in the white snow, looking so listless.
Two brothers, Xiao Douzi and Xiao Doudou, wearing thick fleece clothes, sat on the snow under the swing, holding a plum blossom and pulling its petals, and murmuring: "I'll be back today... I won't be back today."
…Come back today…not come back…come back…”
The fragrant and proud wintersweet was constantly being destroyed in the hands of the two brothers, and the round petals were scattered all over the ground.
The last petal on the wintersweet branch was torn off and slowly fell to the ground. Then, Xiao Doudou let out a long sigh: "Hey... I won't be back today!"
"Hey..." The two brothers sighed again at the same time, sitting back to back, with melancholy faces on their faces.
"What's wrong with you two? Who made you so unhappy?" Nangong Mei, wearing a furry cloak, walked lightly along the path towards Xiaodouzi Xiaodoudou.
As soon as she heard Nangong Mei's voice, all the worries on Xiao Doudou's face disappeared, she rushed towards Nangong Mei with excitement, and shouted loudly: "Sister Mei, you are finally back!"
Nangong Mei looked at the two teenagers who threw themselves into her arms at the same time, and couldn't help laughing and said, "I've only been away for a few days, and you guys miss me so much?"
"We want to be with you, sister Mei, every day!" Xiao Doudou and Xiao Douzi held Nangong Mei's hands and looked at Nangong Mei sincerely.
Nangong Mei held Xiaodouzi's hand and said with a smile: "If I leave here and never come back, then shouldn't you miss me so much that you would tear off all the plum blossom petals in the entire valley?"
Xiaodouzi Xiaodouzi subconsciously glanced at the petals on the ground, her face felt slightly warm, and she said sheepishly: "We just want Sister Mei to come back soon."
Nangong Mei's expression dimmed, and she said with a little sadness and helplessness: "I want to go back to the world of mortals, but I can't find the way out. Maybe what I want to do will never be done again.
arrive."
Seeing Nangong Mei being sad, Xiaodouzi also felt particularly uncomfortable. Xiaodouzi asked with concern: "Sister Mei, what do you want to do?"
Nangong Mei sighed and said helplessly: "Before, in order to save Shangguan, I fell into someone else's woman again and again. Now, I can finally be with Shangguan, but I can't let everyone in the world know.
I, Nangong Mei, am just the wife of Shangguan alone!" Nangong Mei sat down on the snow and supported her chin with one hand, "If Shangguan's ambition cannot be realized, I cannot be his wife."
Xiao Doudou came up to Nangong Mei, looked at her with wide eyes and asked, "Can you do what you want to do when you go out?"
Nangong Mei touched Xiaodoudou's smooth and tender face and nodded.
"But... there is no way out here." Xiao Doudou sat down next to Nangong Mei melancholy, also propped up his head with one hand, and let out a long sigh.
Xiaodouzi sat down on the other side of Nangong Mei, held Nangong Mei's arm with both hands, looked at Nangong Mei for a while and then said slowly: "Maybe... maybe dad will know."
"Yes!" Xiao Doudou jumped up excitedly after hearing Xiao Douzi's words, "How come I forgot about daddy? He knows so many things, he will definitely know the way out!"
Xiaodouzi also jumped up. He quickly stepped forward and covered Xiaodouzi's big mouth, and whispered: "You forgot! Daddy forbids us from mentioning him casually!"
Xiaodoudou seemed to have remembered this incident, and quickly bit her lip with her teeth and stopped talking.
"Does your father really know the way out?" Nangong Mei raised her head and looked at them hopefully with a pair of eyes as bright as the starry sky.
"This..." Xiao Doudou let go of the hand covering Xiao Douzi's mouth, scratched his head, and looked at Nangong Mei with some embarrassment.
A bitter smile appeared on Nangong Mei's lips, she lowered her eyes and said dejectedly: "If you can't say it, there's no need to say it. I'd better find the way out by myself, even though I may never find it in my life, and I won't be able to fulfill my unfulfilled wish.
.”
"No! Sister Mei!" Xiaodouzi squatted nervously in front of Nangong Mei, "It's not that I can't tell you, but I don't know if daddy will really know the way out. After all, we have to meet daddy.
The times are also very few.”
"It's better to have hope than to search randomly!" Nangong Mei looked at Xiaodouzi hopefully, "Xiaodouzi, will you help sister? Can you take me to find your father?"
Looking at Nangong Mei's hopeful eyes, Xiaodouzi really couldn't bear to reject her. After all, she was the sister they liked so much. After struggling and hesitating for a while, Xiaodouzi nodded with difficulty and said: "Okay! For the sake of my sister, I can
Just do what you want to do, even if you are punished by dad, it doesn’t matter!”
Xiao Doudou stood behind Xiao Douzi and said like a strong man cutting off his wrist: "Let's go! Let's take sister Mei to find daddy!" Their daddy never met any outsiders, even the two brothers, the number of times they met was pitifully few.
They are allowed to tell others about him, otherwise they will be severely punished. In their eyes, their father is a very strict old man.
However, for their charming sister, it doesn’t matter if they are punished!
The towering ancient trees are endless, but only the bare trunks are left. There is a thick layer of white snow on the ground, and even the light-footed Nangong Mei is ankle-deep.
The further we walked, the lower the temperature became, and heavy goose-feather snow was flying all over the sky.
Xiaodoudou and Xiaodouzi led the way. The closer they got to the destination, the more nervous they became. It seemed that they were not meeting their father, but a very strict teacher.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiaodouzi Xiaodoudou stopped in front of a towering snow-capped mountain and whispered to Nangong Mei, "This is it."
Nangong Mei narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the snowy peak in front of her, but she couldn't see anything. In her eyes, this was just a snowy mountain with no trace of human habitation at all.
Xiao Douzi Xiao Doudou held Nangong Mei's cold jade hands on the left and right at the same time, lowered her voice and said: "Follow us in, don't talk too much."
"Yeah." Nangong Mei nodded and followed Xiaodouzi and Xiaodou towards the snow-capped mountains.
Arriving under the snow-capped mountains, Xiaodouzi and Xiaodoudou's figure became lighter. He jumped up and flew towards the snow-capped mountains. After a few dodgers, he had already reached a very high place.
Nangong Mei followed the place where Xiaodouzi and Xiaodou stepped on and jumped up, neither fast nor slow, just keeping a few meters away from them.
The goose-feathered snow was still flying all over the sky, reaching above the clouds. Xiaodouzi and Xiaodoudou stepped on a piece of flat land and stopped. This place was already close to the top of the snow-capped mountains, and the air around it was thin and extremely cold.
