Lin Mao had a dream.

It's strange to say that he himself felt that he had forgotten all about the things in Wangyou Valley in the early years, but he didn't expect it to be so clear in his dreams, as if all the things in the next few decades were just an accidental day Lunch break had a nightmare.

"That is to say, if you snore so much in class, the senior brother won't scold you."

The little girl curled up beside Lin Mao, wrinkled her nose and said viciously.

Lin Mao turned his head to look at her in a daze. She was probably a girl under ten years old. She was still wearing the clothes from southern Xinjiang. Golden bells, when the owner of the clothes jingled, a string of shimmering broken lights appeared, dazzling people's eyes.

Lin Mao couldn't help squinting, so he could only see clearly the pair of bright eyes of the little junior sister, the amber-like pale gold eyes under the straight black eyebrows.

It's rare that a junior junior sister came to the valley, but she didn't receive preferential treatment like other junior junior sisters—on the contrary, it might be more appropriate to say that she was bullied.After all, he has a completely different appearance from the people from the Central Plains, coupled with his strong southern accent when speaking, from the inside to the outside, he is so out of tune with other brothers in Wangyou Valley.

"I'm not in good health... Brother, he knows that even if I listen to it, it's useless."

Lin Mao heard himself muttering to the little girl, using the same southern accent as the girl.

Ah, that's right, the younger junior sister's complaints were also spoken in her own dialect before, and Lin Mao understood it naturally without any obstacles. It is said that his biological mother was also a woman who was sold from the south. So I learned the southern dialect from my mother...

Probably because of this, the unlovable, eccentric and bad-tempered junior sister is always the best friend with him in Wangyou Valley.

"Tsk, your brother is not a good person."

The little junior sister leaned over and took out the chicken leg wrapped in oil paper from Lin Mao's arms, and then ate it hungrily.

The masters in the kitchen also don’t like to come to study in name, but in fact, they are the little sisters sent by Nanjiang to act as hostages. Everyone’s monthly share of meat is often secretly deducted—it’s also because the little sisters speak southern dialect, I can't even find anyone to complain.

At that time, Lin Mao saw his junior sister hiding in the corner of the wall crying in the middle of the night, and he always felt pity for her, so he secretly saved his share of chicken legs for her to eat.After all, Lin Mao has never been short of meat in Wangyou Valley—Senior Brother Chang has learned to walk down the mountain to act on behalf of his master. food.

"If you want to speak ill of senior brother, don't eat my chicken legs!"

When Lin Mao heard the girl's casual slander, his eyes turned red with anger, and he reached out to grab the leftover chicken leg from the junior sister's hand.However, when the little junior sister saw Lin Mao approaching, she opened her mouth directly and stuffed more than half of the chicken leg with meat and bones into her mouth.

Lin Mao watched helplessly as the girl's cheeks swelled up, and then there was a crackling sound of bones breaking.

"Gudong..."

The little junior sister choked her neck and swallowed what was in her mouth in one gulp, then turned her head and smiled triumphantly at Lin Mao, revealing her extremely strong white teeth. .

"you you……"

"You Central Plains people are too delicate to eat."

The little junior sister licked her greasy fingers clean, then turned her head and glared at Lin Mao: "You marry me later."

"What?" Lin Mao didn't react, and the junior sister stretched out her hand to swipe his face.

"You look good, but you are so stupid. You will definitely be bullied by your mother-in-law in the future. Why don't you marry me, and I will treat you well in the future."

Lin Mao only saw that the little junior sister leaned towards him with her flat chest, but her hands had already started to pick up his neckline—there was a huge emerald on the gold bracelet on the girl's wrist, shaking Rather like the green eyes of some viper.

"Brother Maoer, if you stay with me, I will treat you well."

……

Lin Mao suddenly opened his eyes.

In the dimly lit room, there was a faint sweet smell of thick wine, but cold sweat dripped from his back at some point.

Fortunately it was a dream.

Lin Mao thought, for some reason, when he thought of his junior sister, his face and throat ached like a conditioned reflex.

"Master?"

It was as if he never needed to sleep, when Lin Mao moved slightly, Chang Xiaoqing beside him immediately woke up vigilantly.

"Are you awake? Are you thirsty? Do you have a headache?" Chang Xiaoqing asked Lin Mao in a low voice.

The room was still dark, and it was warm to seal the windows with fur, but it also made people unable to distinguish day from night after waking up from a dream.

"Is there any more water?"

Lin Mao said.At this time, his alcohol was over, although he was still a little drunk, his sanity was still mostly back, and then he heard Chang Xiaoqing get off the bed rustling.The end of the stove was lit up, and then there was a slight crisp sound when the pottery collided.Chang Xiaoqing brought Lin Mao a cup of warm tea, and ironed a towel for Lin Mao.Perhaps it was because Chang Xiaoqing took care of him carefully and properly. After everything was settled, Lin Mao only felt that his spirit was revived, and all the tiredness in his body was gone. It could almost be said that he was refreshed.

"What time is it?"

Lin Mao thought he had slept all day, so he asked casually.Unexpectedly, Chang Xiaoqing lifted the thick skin in front of the window and looked out, but the moon was still hanging in the middle of the sky.It wasn't until this time that Lin Mao realized that he had only been squinting for more than an hour.

"Master, do you want to sleep for a while?"

"No... I was drunk before?"

Listening to Chang Xiaoqing's voice, Lin Mao felt a little stiff, so he couldn't help frowning and thinking about his situation before going to bed, but after thinking about it, he found that his mind was blank.Lin Mao knew that he could not drink very well, so he was a little nervous.

"What did I do wrong?" Lin Mao asked.

Chang Xiaoqing moved a little in the dark, and answered after a while: "Master, you fell asleep after you got drunk."

Hearing his answer, Lin Mao still felt something was wrong, but just when he was about to ask, there was a mournful donkey bray from under the floor.

The donkey brayed desolately, one after another, and what made people couldn't help noticing was that there were other sounds faintly behind the white donkey's braying.

"Wait, this is?"

When Lin Mao heard the vague voice, his heart suddenly thumped, and the white donkey was still whining at the top of its throat while speaking.

Without waiting for Chang Xiaoqing to answer, through the window, the cold wind sent a long howl one after another——

"This voice...couldn't it be...?!"

"Damn!"

Lin Mao looked uncertain, this time he was really frightened.

Chang Xiaoqing's face became even colder, and he raised his sword and stood up to the window, tearing off the fur nailed to the window.

Now, the howling suddenly became clearer.

is a wolf.

Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing looked at each other, and surprise flashed in each other's eyes.

As I said before, the animals in Wangyou Valley have their own rules for wintering. The snow wolves on Yufeng are notoriously fierce and bloodthirsty, but they have never invaded a place where people live like they do today.But listening to the continuous and approaching howls, this pack of wolves might not be within ten miles of the small building tonight.

"I'll go downstairs and have a look."

This fact was abnormal, Chang Xiaoqing's face was condensed, she grabbed the Broken Sword and wanted to go downstairs.

"and many more……"

Lin Mao pulled the cloak around himself, and grabbed Chang Xiaoqing's sleeve with one hand.

"I'll go down and have a look too," he said.

"Master..."

"I know you can handle it. If the pack of wolves gets close, I'll go upstairs immediately. Otherwise, I'll leave you alone. I won't be able to see you upstairs, so I'm bound to be worried and cranky."

Lin Mao said again.

At this moment, Chang Xiaoqing had already opened the door, and the bright moonlight happened to fall on Lin Mao's face at the door—this man was looking up at Chang Xiaoqing, his tone of voice and eyes were extremely soft.

Chang Xiaoqing just glanced at it, letting his hard-hearted heart melt into water, and he nodded his head by accident.

"Master, follow me closely."

Chang Xiaoqing said, stretching out his hand to fasten Lin Mao's neckline a little more.

The two went downstairs in this way, first they comforted the two white donkeys that were half-dead from fright, and then Chang Xiaoqing led the way, holding Lin Mao's hand and leaning towards the edge of the peach forest.

And the howling of the wolf didn't stop, and the biting cold wind was howling towards the two of them like a long knife.

Chang Xiaoqing held Lin Mao's hand tighter, and then stopped.

"It sounds like I'm hunting..." He listened for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid I was so hungry that I lost my head when I saw the prey, and I followed behind and came here unknowingly."

After finishing speaking, he held Lin Mao's hand and stood still on the spot.

Lin Maoruo felt something, and took a look at Chang Xiaoqing, and happened to see Chang Xiaoqing looking at him.It was rare that the moonlight was just right that night, and it happened to be able to see a slight blush on Chang Xiaoqing's face.Lin Mao understood immediately, and quickly nodded to Chang Xiaoqing, just to indicate that it's okay.

Seeing Lin Mao nodding his head, Chang Xiaoqing turned his face away, raised his breath and sent out a long and continuous howl in the direction of the wolf howling.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

In fact, if it is true, Chang Xiaoqing's long howl is completely different from that wolf howl, but his heart is extremely full of energy, his voice is deep and fierce, and there is an indescribable majesty of his own.

The long howl stopped after about a cup of tea.

And when Chang Xiaoqing's howling gradually died down, the previous howling of wolves also stopped as expected, and there were a few faint whimpers in the wind, but it was a cowardly begging for mercy.

Only then did Chang Xiaoqing heave a sigh of relief, as long as the matter was over, he led Lin Mao back to the small building.

"...I still have to sleep for a while today. Master, your body has not recovered yet, so if you don't sleep like this, you will lose your vitality."

Just as Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao were talking softly, there was a very slight rustling sound from the peach grove where they were standing before.

The sound was so soft that other people would probably just take it as the sound of the wind blowing and the leaves falling, but Chang Xiaoqing was different from ordinary people after all.As soon as the voice hit his ears, he blocked Lin Mao behind him, then turned around and sent a palm towards the sound.

"get out!"

In the wind of Chang Xiaoqing's palm, the accumulated snow suddenly turned into a puff of white mist.

Accompanied by Chang Xiaoqing's low growl, the dead trees in the peach forest trembled, and then, an extremely slender figure rolled out from the shadow under the tree.

"Hero, hero...Hero, spare your life..."

Before Chang Xiaoqing could send out his second palm, the figure had already fallen to the ground, and a series of trembling voices trembled out of tune...it sounded like a girl's voice.
