After confirming again and again that Chang Xiaoqing's breathing was stable, Lin Mao found a sheltered snow nest in the mountains and settled him in. Then he led the docile gray donkey over and lay on Chang Xiaoqing's side to keep warm. .After finishing all this, Lin Mao was a little out of breath, so he reluctantly climbed up to the imposing white donkey, patted its ass, and spent a lot of effort to drive it back to the other side. run in the direction.
But after returning to the small courtyard of the unknown old man, there was already no one there.
Lin Mao climbed off the back of the white donkey with weak legs, propping up the rotten courtyard gate, looking at the silent and messy snow in the courtyard, he was a little stunned.
According to what Lin Mao had seen before, those people with strange costumes were menacing, and the unknown old man was even a little unfathomable. The two sides took it for granted that there should be a big battle.The white donkey traveled very fast, even if he spent some time to settle Chang Xiaoqing, it only took less than an hour to go back and forth.But now there is nothing here except trampled and dirty snowflakes all over the place - not even a little blood.Be it the unknown old man or those strange people, even the weird snake bones that fell on the ground with the casserole before seemed to be swept away by the wind and snow.
The sky was as gloomy as iron, and fine and dense snowflakes fell down, covering Lin Mao's body silently.
He carefully circled the yard twice more, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an old Panasonic who seemed to be lying on his stomach behind the house.
"Senior unknown?"
Lin Mao immediately ran towards that place, and after two steps, the withered hair and wrinkled flesh exposed by Can Xue became more and more clear.However, when Lin Mao came two or three steps away from the old Matsushita, he stopped suddenly, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"This is……"
Lin Mao murmured, and the cold hairs on his back stood up one by one. He only felt that the cold wind in the mountains seemed to become colder.
This is not the nameless old man.
of course not……
On the white snow, the "thing" crouching under the pine tree does look like the body of a thin old man at first glance, but when you get closer, you can see that something is wrong with it—the wrinkled, dry and gray flesh There is no ups and downs that a human body should have, only a thin piece of flesh covering the snow, only the face is barely flat, and the rest from the chest down seems to be thrown on the snow at random. The clothes on the ground were generally curled up together, no wonder Lin Mao accidentally saw him as an unknown old man before.And the slightly smooth human face has no bone support at all, the eyes, nose and mouth are empty, like a broken mask, which looks three parts funny and seven parts scary.
Lin Mao collected himself, picked up a twig from the ground, picked it up and took a closer look. He was sure—this is indeed a real human skin. Judging from the skin alone, the original owner of this flesh is probably It's just a young man in his twenties.But this human skin is a bit weird, it feels much drier than ordinary human skin, it looks like a snake's slough to the light, and it has a waxy feeling, and the inside of the skin is even more greasy to the touch, with a thin layer of human floating on it. Oil.It is true that there are crooked people who peel human skin to make masks and other utensils in Jianghu, but such a piece of human skin with living limbs is unprecedented, and it makes people feel scared.
What's more, after Lin Mao picked it up, he found that the human skin was only the upper body, and the part from the waist down was missing—it was just that the human skin at the waist seemed vaguely wrong when you looked closely, maybe it was the victim. Some strange disease happened, gradually some evenly arranged diamond-shaped hard shells appeared on the waist, more and more similar to the snake slough.
Lin Mao had never smelled the smell of blood on the human skin, so he could tentatively assume that the human skin had been treated with potions and brought over from other places, but he didn't know what the use of the human skin was.Lin Mao remembered that the people who attacked the unknown old man were dressed strangely and did not act like people from the Central Plains, so he felt that this might be something left behind by those people accidentally.
I'm afraid that the strangers in the south have some weird things——
Lin Mao thought so in his heart.He looked at the human skin again and felt a little disgusted, so he didn't want to investigate further, so he put it back where it was.
The small courtyard was empty, and there was no trace of the unknown old man. Thinking that Chang Xiaoqing was still alone in the middle of the mountain road at this time, Lin Mao didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly rode the white donkey back to the snow nest. rush.
However, after finally returning to the place where he and Chang Xiaoqing broke up, after Lin Mao jumped off the donkey, he found that there was only a gray donkey lying on the ground in the snowy nest, while Chang Xiaoqing, who should have been unconscious, was already disappeared.
"Xiaoqing?!"
Lin Mao let out a low cry, he was exhausted from traveling back and forth, but at this moment his legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.
It was also fortunate that the wind and snow hadn't gotten worse during the time he had rushed back. Lin Mao gritted his teeth and stood up on his knees, and then went to look at the snow - there was still a row of messy footprints in the shadow that had not been covered by the wind and snow.
The footprints went straight out from the snow nest, and there were no other people's footprints, apparently Chang Xiaoqing walked out of the snow nest after waking up.
Lin Mao didn't dare to delay, he swallowed the fishy sweetness welling up in his throat, and hurriedly chased after the footprints.
After turning a few turns from the mountain road, the footprints erratically followed a small road down the col, and the terrain became more or less flat.The snow accumulated here formed a thick and gentle snow coat. The crystal clear snowflakes reflected the light from the sky, and the bottom of the entire mountain depression was much brighter than the mountain path. However, the light reflected by the snow seemed to bring The coldness of the ice and snow pierces into people's eyes, making people feel that their eyes are stinging, and the eyes are white, and they can't see clearly.
Lin Mao covered his face with his hands, his eyes were dripping with tears because of the snowy light, and he desperately chased the blurred footprints with one foot deep and the other shallow.Fortunately, after chasing him so far, Lin Mao saw Chang Xiaoqing's thin figure and long gray hair at the bottom of the mountain depression.
Lin Mao felt relieved, and spat out another mouthful of blood with a wow.
But before he let go of his panting breath, it was Chang Xiaoqing's hoarse growl that came with the cold wind.
"My master...give me back my master...give me back..."
It sounded like he was arguing with someone.
Lin Mao's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Chang Xiaoqing's precarious figure, he scrambled and ran for a long distance, only to find that there were actually several people standing opposite Chang Xiaoqing.
From top to bottom, those few people were tightly wrapped in a layer of snow-white fine leather robes, standing in the snow and almost blending with the snow.It was because Lin Mao could walk in now that he could see that there were still people standing in that field from the slightly copper-colored black faces exposed under the fur hats of those people.
At this time, these people stood in a line vigilantly in front of Chang Xiaoqing, and behind them seemed to be covering someone.
Their fur jackets were already a little messy, blood was oozing from the exposed chests and cheeks of several of them, and they were holding a strange long knife bent like a crescent moon tightly in their hands, confronting Chang Xiaoqing as if facing a big enemy with.Looking at Chang Xiaoqing again, I saw that the clothes Lin Mao put on him had already been cut to almost rags, and a strand of long hair on his forehead had also been cut off - if the guess is correct, I am afraid that the two parties have already had conflicts before.
"Give me back Master...give me Master...Master...Master..."
Chang Xiaoqing's eyes were empty, and her body, which was as thin as a dry bamboo in the cold wind, looked even more haggard, as if she would fall to the ground and die in the next second.
But the furious aura emanating from his body forced the people in front of him to sweat profusely, their veins twitched, and they couldn't even make a sound.
To be honest, this group of people was also unlucky.
The reason why they walked at the bottom of this mountain wearing white fur was to avoid others.You know, there is a lot of wind and snow in the mountains now, and although the bottom of the col is flat, it is full of dangers. If you are unlucky and the snow on the mountain collapses, the people walking at the bottom will probably be buried by the avalanche until next spring. open.It is precisely because of this that if people in the mountains must enter the mountain in such a ghostly weather, they will definitely take the mountain path-even if the mountain path is rugged and terrifying, it will be better than being wiped out by then.
However, Chang Xiaoqing woke up shortly after Lin Mao left.
When he was sober, he was able to hide it, but now that he is in a state of insanity, the extraordinary fetters and entanglements in his heart are completely released.In the dark, he only felt that his master had left him again, and he couldn't hold back his fear and despair anymore, so he walked out of the snow nest by himself in a daze, and found his master in this icy and snowy place.
Coincidentally, the two parties just met at the bottom of this mountain depression. One party wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears and was full of defenses, while the other party was delirious and made mistakes.
Of course, Lin Mao didn't know all of these things. He only saw that there were many people in the crowd, while his own apprentice was alone and weak. swept past.
His actions were slightly louder, and finally attracted the attention of those two parties.
It has to be said that everyone present was breathless.
In a trance, I almost feel that Baixue has transformed into a human form and floated into the world. The young man who came from the snow has a beautiful face like a fairy, his eyes are like autumn water, his face is like a crown jade, and his clothes are fluttering like a dream. After a few lifts, he saw him He suddenly landed in front of the crowd, his steps were a little rough, a layer of snow mist was raised, and it fell on his hair and eyelashes in disorder, making the faint pink on his cheeks more beautiful.
"Who is here?!" Lin Mao yelled angrily at the group of men in white clothes, then turned to face Chang Xiaoqing with a soft tone, "Xiaoqing, are you alright?"
"..."
Chang Xiaoqing stared down at Lin Mao who was still panting, and there was a dark fire in his eyes.
He didn't speak, but slowly stretched out his hand to wipe away the wetness from Lin Mao's hair.
Seeing that Chang Xiaoqing was behaving strangely, Lin Mao felt very anxious and couldn't care less about other things. He turned around and looked at the men in white clothes again, with a cold expression on his face, and slowly raised his hands in a defensive posture.
"What did you do to him?!"
Lin Mao asked.
It was strange to say that when Lin Mao came to the front of the white-robed man, he thought that he would attract the attack or guard of those white-robed men, but he didn't expect to see him pass by, and the strange man became confused by himself.
The person who was hidden behind by the crowd was probably the leader of the crowd, and he didn't know what was going on. He kept hiding his face and never showed his face, but at this moment he let out a short and low cry——
"Oops, I can't see him the way I look—hide me—quick—"
Those words were a series of murmurs, and what they said was the same as the person who ambushed the unknown old man in the small courtyard.
Naturally, Lin Mao understood this passage again.
But after returning to the small courtyard of the unknown old man, there was already no one there.
Lin Mao climbed off the back of the white donkey with weak legs, propping up the rotten courtyard gate, looking at the silent and messy snow in the courtyard, he was a little stunned.
