Snowland Baichuan, as the name suggests, is a world shrouded in snow.
This place has a vast territory, countless cities, and is extremely vast.
In particular, the environment of this land is strange and strange, with many harsh places such as streams, mountains, hills, glaciers, and deserts. The scenery is magnificent and barren, and it is extremely famous in Canglan Continent.
Among them, there are especially many glaciers that look like canyons, with countless ice crystals stacked on top of each other, rugged and twisting, stretching for thousands of miles.
After entering the snowy land and hundreds of rivers, you will see snow-capped mountains rising from the ground, rolling and crisscrossing, like tributaries of mountains and rivers scattered across the land, intertwined with each other.
Looking down from a high altitude, countless glaciers are criss-crossing each other, like a maze. If an outsider walks in it, without a guide to lead the way, he or she will probably get lost in it.
After Lu Chen and the others left Niujiao City, the weather outside gradually became colder. Zhao Xiaozhu shrank his neck and couldn't help sneezing. He quickly put on the cotton-padded jacket he just bought in Niujiao City, his nose turned red from the cold.
The woman in blue followed, trembling, with a bruised and swollen face. She kept touching her arms with her hands and shivering from the cold. It was obvious that she had been abused in Linglong Pavilion before.
She followed the two of them cautiously, looking a little panicked and full of uneasiness.
Because she didn't know what this man's intention was in spending such a large sum of money to buy her?
When Linglong Pavilion bought her, she lived a life of hungry meals every day, and was beaten severely from time to time. She was treated like a wild dog. She had never seen her as a human being and suffered so much.
torture.
Just when she was feeling discouraged, she met Lu Chen.
It was this man who bought her at a huge price.
Lu Chen turned around and saw that the woman was shivering from the cold, and then he gently pressed his palm on her back, and a burst of true energy was poured into her body instantly.
The woman in blue suddenly felt warm all over, as if a ball of heat was flowing through her body, and she was not as cold as before.
She glanced at Lu Chen secretly, and a hint of gratitude flashed in her heart.
Night falls, the cold wind blows!
The big trees on the roadside were bare, with only a few yellow leaves hanging on the branches and blowing in the wind, and the weeds on the ground only had some exposed roots and stems, showing a withered scene.
Under the high mountain, there is a stream that is seven to eight feet wide, gurgling and gurgling, like a sweet nocturne singing in the wild. The strange-shaped pebbles in the river bottom are clearly visible.
A group of three people went south along the stream.
When night fell, a few people lit a bonfire in a forest near a stream and took a rest.
In the evening, I ate cooked food purchased in Niujiao City, and the water bag was filled with clean warm water.
Although the temperature difference between day and night is huge, relying on the bonfire, the night is not too difficult.
Dry sticks were thrown into the bonfire one after another, making the sticks crackle and burn, and the firelight illuminated their faces red.
Zhao Xiaozhu was eating soy sauce beef, his mouth was full of oil, and his expression looked very happy.
The woman in blue stood aside obediently, looking at the two of them with a fearful expression, somewhat at a loss.
"It's cold, sit down and warm yourself up by the fire." Lu Chen pointed to the stone next to him and said with an approachable smile.
The woman in blue responded, nodded obediently, and then carefully sat on the stone.
"What's your name?" Lu Chen reached out and handed over a piece of roasted chicken leg.
The woman in blue looked at the food in Lu Chen's hand and couldn't help but swallow. She wanted to eat but didn't dare, her expression was full of restraint.
"Eat it, it's not poisonous!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Looking at the other party's sincere smile, the woman in blue hesitated for a while, then stretched out her hands to carefully take it, put it in her mouth and started biting it slowly. She seemed to be a little hungry.
"My name is Ji Xue!" The woman in blue ate the food slowly, making a sound as delicate as a mosquito, and there was a gentleness in her movements.
After hearing what she said, Lu Chen realized that this woman was called Ji Xue!
Lu Chen nodded when he heard this: "How old are you, how could you be reduced to being auctioned as goods by Linglong Pavilion!"
"This little girl is in her twenties this year. Both her parents died early in life. Later, she was caught by bandits on her way to join her distant relatives. She was almost trampled on. Later, she changed hands and was sold to a businessman from Linglong Pavilion!" Ji Xue explained with a sad look on her face!
He said, looking pitiful.
"Thank you so much for saving your life, young master. This is such a great kindness. I have nothing to repay, little girl. Please accept Xue'er's bow!" Ji Xue said this, and then stood up to bow down and worship Lu Chen.
Lu Chen quickly grabbed her arm and said: "No, it's fate that you and I met. Saving you is just a matter of effort, don't take it to heart!"
"When you get to the next city, you can find a place to make a living by yourself!"
When Ji Xue heard this, she was stunned. She looked at the other party in disbelief. Lu Chen's words made her very surprised.
When she was caught by bandits and sold to Linglong Pavilion, the men stared at her like hungry wolves staring at the little sheep. They had dirty thoughts in their minds, and they all wanted to eat her alive and take her as their own.
have.
I thought that the young man in front of me who paid a huge price to save her from suffering spent so much money to buy her because he was attracted by her stunning beauty.
When Ji Xue was rescued by the other party, her heart was almost desperate and resigned, and she was even ready to bite her tongue and commit suicide at any time.
However, the young man in front of him wanted to let her go, but he didn't even have any wrong thoughts about her!
This is really unexpected.
She opened her mouth wide and said: "Sir, you spent so much money to buy me before and did nothing, and now you just let me go?"
"Well, that's right!" Lu Chen smiled lightly: "Isn't this good?"
Ji Xue looked at the other party in surprise and couldn't help but said: "Don't you need Xue'er to do something for you?"
"What can you do for me?" Lu Chen picked up a piece of dry wood and threw it into the bonfire, saying with great interest.
Ji Xue burst into tears with gratitude and said: "Since the young master bought Xue'er, Xue'er has nothing to offer in return. From now on, I will serve you like a cow or a horse!"
"Serve me?" Lu Chen heard this and smiled dumbly: "I am used to being alone and have no habit of being served by others. If you want to thank me, just thank the little brother next to me!"
Lu Chen lowered his head and looked at Zhao Xiaozhu, whose mouth was full of oil, and said with an indifferent expression.
Ji Xue followed Lu Chen's gaze and looked in surprise at the young man next to him who only cared about eating meat. She was suddenly stunned. She never thought that the person who really saved her would be this sloppy young man in front of her.
"Brother, thank you for saving my life!" Ji Xue quickly stood up and bowed to thank Zhao Xiaozhu. Zhao Xiaozhu held the chicken leg in his mouth, quickly supported Ji Xue, and said hurriedly: "Sister Xue'er, there is no need to salute, no need to salute!
"
"Sister Xue'er, you are in the same situation as my sister. It's so pitiful. That's why I asked Mr. Lu to save you. To be grateful, you should be grateful to Mr. Lu!"
"Without his intervention, it would be nonsense for my small body to save you!" Zhao Xiaozhu explained with a smile.
When Ji Xue heard this, she couldn't help but stay for a while, and then looked at Lu Chen: "Sir, it turns out your surname is Lu!"
"Well, my name is Lu Chen!" Lu Chen said bluntly.
"Saving your life is purely a good deed. Don't take it to heart!"
"You have nowhere to go now, so just stay with me for now. If you find a place to make a living in the future, you can leave on your own and I won't stop you!" Lu Chen said with a spring breeze smile.
When Ji Xue heard this, a warm current suddenly flashed through her heart, and there were faint tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Thank you, sir!"
After finally escaping from her family, it was a bumpy road and after many hardships, she finally escaped from the sea of suffering.
With Lu Chen guarding me, I was not afraid of anyone intruding on me, and the night passed quickly.
The three of them set off again and embarked on the journey south.
The further south you go, the colder the weather becomes, and snow gradually appears on the ground, which is covered with traces of various vehicle shafts and pedestrians.
In front of us lies a vast plain, covered with white snow. We walked for more than ten miles without seeing many people, and several snow-capped mountains towered into the clouds, which looked extremely spectacular.
Pedestrians walking on the vast land look so small.
Whoosh!
The wind was howling, and fine snowflakes were falling down like fine salt all over the sky, gradually covering the hair of the three people.
Wherever he went, he left a clear line of footprints in the snow, which would probably be covered up by the snow in a few moments.
After walking for about ten miles, the three of them finally saw an inn hidden in the wind and snow at the foot of a snow-capped mountain!
On the black flag fluttering in the wind, there are three big red characters written: Welcome!
"There is an inn here. It should be a place specially designed for businessmen to stay. The wind and snow are a bit heavy. Let's go in and have a rest!" Lu Chen said as he walked in front, then quickly walked forward, opened the door and walked in.
Ji Xue and Zhao Xiaozhu quickly followed, fearing that they would be lost.
Creaking, the door was pushed open, and a biting cold wind blew into the inn with snowflakes.
The bustling inn was full of people, all of them carrying swords, wearing brocade clothes, and full of reckless aura.
These people sat in groups all over the inn, drinking from big bowls, eating meat with big mouthfuls, laughing loudly, talking dirty words, and having a great time.
When they saw the three people who suddenly walked in from outside, a group of people were stunned. Especially when they saw the beautiful Ji Xue behind Lu Chen, their eyes shone brightly, and some people spilled their drinks in their hands.
I don’t know, everyone was stunned.
It is really rare to see such stunning beauty in such an inaccessible place!
Lu Chen glanced at these malicious faces, walked to a table calmly, and said calmly: "Waiter, come here!"
Ji Xue and Zhao Xiaozhu followed Lu Chen cautiously, not daring to look at the ferocious savage men around them who licked blood with their swords.
