I froze in place for a long time, and my mind was always occupied by the smile of 'Yueli' before she disappeared.
After a while, I came to my senses and quickly ran to Su Jin's side.
At this time, Su Jin still had a smile on his face, but his body was already cold.
I held her in my arms, desperately trying to warm her with my own body temperature, but unfortunately she never teased me as usual this time, and I could no longer hear her tingling and charming laughter...
I didn't let go for a long time, just holding Su Jin in my arms.
I hooked the bangs hanging on her forehead to her ears for her. Her hair was slightly curly and had a faint fragrance. She usually likes to lift her hair and smile charmingly at me, but now, it’s me who helps her.
Hair is done.
Zhou Xiaoshe, Zhuge Yushu and others stood beside me, silent.
Mu Sixuan also helped Shi Ying up, while Yueyao took off her skirt and covered Su Jin's body.
Su Jin likes to wear skirts the most, especially those plain white skirts that are just right up to her feet. This time, she tore her skirt because she was dressing my wound, but now, Yueyao has put on a better-looking one for her.
.
Even Yue Yao, who is as cold as ice, has a rare pair of tears in her eyes; let alone me, the person who has spent the longest time with her.
I held Su Jin in my arms for a long time, and my heart felt cold for a long time.
…………

In the end, Zhou Xiaoshe and Monk Zhangzhi helped me dig a grave. Before that, Zhou Xiaoshe suggested that I put Su Jin's body in the golden nanmu coffin, together with the wax man who looked like me.
.
But I didn't agree.
The reason is very simple. I want to give Su Jin a grave of her own, and let her know that from now on, in my heart, Chen Huafan, there will be a place dedicated to storing my thoughts about her.
The moment Su Jin was buried, I stood there blankly, covering the wound that she had bandaged me with her skirt, feeling all kinds of uncomfortable in my heart.
I sprinkled the last soil on Su Jin's grave. I made her a tombstone out of golden nanmu, with her name engraved on it. Under the tombstone, I buried the damaged Blood Compass together. This is
I promised to give it to her...
"My condolences, Lao Tie." Zhou Xiaoshe patted my shoulder and consoled me.
I exhaled, glanced around the crowd, and asked, "How many days do we have food rations now?"
The monk replied: "Except for the return journey, we still have three or four days of food rations."
"Three or four days?" I murmured for a moment, a flash of determination flashed in my eyes, and said: "Monk, leave me some food rations, and you can take them away from Yaolong Ridge."
The monk was stunned, and Zhou Xiaoshe couldn't help but speak.
"Grandma, Chen Huafan, what do you mean? We have reached this juncture, do you want us to go back?"
I didn't respond to Zhou Xiaoshe's words. I felt that the Dragon's Nest Cave should be nearby. This trip would definitely be unlucky. I had already lost a confidante and I didn't want to lose anyone else.
Seeing that the master monk didn't say anything, I took some rations and went straight out of the house.
But before leaving, I still brought out the portrait of Yue Li from the house.
There was heavy snow falling outside the house, and when I stepped on it, the snow often reached up to my knees.
At this moment, I am still injured, so I can only move forward step by step; according to the direction guided by the blood compass, the Dragon Nest Cave is not far from here...
Not long after leaving Zhou Xiaoshe and the others, the pain on my body was so severe that I simply dug a hole in a place with relatively shallow snow, laid out a quilt, lit a piece of clothing, and simply stood next to the fire.
Take a day off.
When the weather gets cold, the wounds on people's bodies are frozen, and they won't heal at all for a while. However, it also brought me a benefit, that is, the bleeding stopped and the wounds stopped deteriorating.
The next day, when I climbed out of the hole, there was already another layer of snow outside.
I took advantage of the cold snow, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, and regained some strength.
The dry food I took away was not much, and I was able to eat frugally for four or five days. As for Zhou Xiaoshe and the others, I think as long as they returned the same way, the food left behind would be enough for them to go back...
When I think about it, I feel so energetic.
But now that I saw that I was alone, I felt a little sad.
I blew on my frozen hands, which were covered with frostbite, and then looked into the distance. In the white snow, I don’t know when there was a small black dot in the distance in front of me, as big as a sesame seed.
Obviously, that little black spot should be a building, perhaps the Dragon Shrine Grotto.
When I thought of this, I felt a surge of joy in my heart. This line of work is really not easy...
I suddenly gained strength, and I didn't even bother to eat the dry food. I lowered my head and hurried towards the little black dot.
But this small black dot that doesn’t seem to be very far away has taken me a full day of walking; here, it’s as if the horizon has been smoothed out, and I can clearly see a black dot, but after walking for a long time,
It's still such a small black spot.
It wasn't until the third day that I finally got close to this little black spot.
I looked up and the true face of the little black dot appeared in front of me.
It was a temple that stood proudly in the heavy snow, with no grass growing around it. However, the temple was not only majestic, but also magnificent. In the snow, the golden light shone brightly. Even though the snowflakes covered its roof, it was not difficult at all.
Cover up the domineering power it should have.
The outer walls of the temple are all painted with fine gold paint, especially at the top of the wall. There are eight-clawed golden dragons carved in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. The dragon's head looks up to the sky and spits out pearls. It opens its teeth and claws as if to break through the sky. It is magnificent...
I looked at these four lifelike golden dragons, and I couldn't help but stare straight at them. What a skilled craftsman it must be to carve such a shocking masterpiece. These golden dragons on the outer wall alone are far better than many others.
The tombs of ancient emperors and generals.
I looked closely and saw that the outer wall was surrounded by four dragons. However, contrary to many imperial tombs, this temple was oriented east to west.
There is a saying in Feng Shui that it is best to face the north for the house of the living, and it is most taboo to face the east for the tomb of the dead. In the minds of many old people, the west represents the west and symbolizes death. At present, this temple is the standard one facing the east.
Facing west, exactly the same.
I was startled, why did I feel a gloomy deathly aura before I even entered?
Before I could recover, I was suddenly tapped on my shoulder.
I turned around and saw a group of people behind me at a glance. The leaders were Zhou Xiaoshe and Zhuge Yushu.
Zhou Xiaoshe put his hands in his hands and said lazily: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a group to clear the tomb robbery dungeon?"
