The girl's voice with a dialect accent fell on the snow, as crisp and melodious as a bird, but Chang Xiaoqing's face was still indifferent, and the fingers hanging under the sleeve moved slightly, and a dark force had already gathered at the fingertips.

"Xiaoqing, wait."

On the contrary, Lin Mao heard the familiar local accent, his heart moved slightly, he stretched out his hand to hold Chang Xiaoqing's wrist, and poked his head out from behind the apprentice to take a look at the figure.

After this moment of respite, it took a while for that person to barely get up from the snow. Her body was ragged and her limbs were dripping with blood. She was in an unspeakable embarrassment and misery. Under her disheveled hair, there was a picture of A face covered with dirt and scratches, with a pair of spring-like clear eyes exposed under the blood stains, with two bubbles of tears in the bottom of the eyes-it really looks like a very young girl.

"Forgive your life...forgive your life..."

The girl didn't seem to know that if Lin Mao hadn't stopped her just now, she would have died at this time. When she first saw Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao, she half-kneeled in the snow as if she lost her strength. Half crawled over.

"Master Daxia, Master Daxia, help me...there is a wolf chasing me..."

She was screaming, tear-eyed, in undisguised panic.

Looking at such a poor girl, Chang Xiaoqing unconsciously knit her brows together, a pair of eyeballs shone coldly under the moonlight,

Seeing Chang Xiaoqing like this, Lin Mao was obviously impatient to the extreme, so he couldn't help pinching Chang Xiaoqing's palm.

"It's better to ask first before talking."

Lin Mao said, and then he turned to the girl: "Who are you? What do you do for a living? How did you come here?"

He asked these few words sternly, and the majesty of being the owner of the valley for many years, coupled with a gorgeous and unparalleled face, gave him an indescribable spookiness.The girl shrank immediately, and two lines of tears fell down in shock, leaving two white tear stains on the dirty face.

Chang Xiaoqing stared at the girl's face, and half-drawn the sword in his hand silently.

"Say--"

Lin Mao's eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly in front of Chang Xiaoqing, and the girl immediately burst into tears.

Although Lin Mao didn't agree with Chang Xiaoqing's way of directly killing someone, he didn't dare to take it lightly—this girl is really pitiful, but her background is really strange.

You must know that Yufeng has closed the mountain after winter, and even the birds and beasts that live in the mountains all year round can't bear the murderous cold wind, so they have to hide in Wangyou Valley. This girl looks delicate and weak, but It's really weird to break into Wangyou Valley suddenly after closing the mountain, but it's no wonder Chang Xiaoqing wanted to kill her just by looking at her.According to Chang Xiaoqing's style, no matter who came, ghosts and snakes, they would all be hacked to death with a sword. Besides, it has left Wangyou Valley clean for many years, but Lin Maosi and everyone in Wangyou Valley worried about Chang Xiaoqing after all. He also followed in their footsteps, giving the girl a chance to defend herself out of pity.

"Master Daxia...Master Daxia...I, I, my name is Xiaohuaer...I belong to everyone in Sanlizhuang Yao..." The girl who claimed to be Yao Xiaohua stuttered and said, "Hero Master, I came here to look for food in the mountains...but I ran over because of a wolf..."

"Yao Da?"

Lin Mao blinked, then looked at Chang Xiaoqing.Before he died, he was sick and hadn't taken care of the vulgar things in the valley for a long time. If this Yao Xiaohua was a girl from another family, Lin Mao would not be impressed, but he recognized Yao Da—not long ago, he He even made fun of the Yao family and kept Chang Xiaoqing.

It turned out that the little hunter the two of them met at the foot of the mountain was Yao Da. Like other families in Sanlizhuang, Yao Da was a tenant of Wangyou Valley, but he didn't farm, and the rent was paid with leather and mountain goods.When this person got married, he happened to meet Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing.It was a coincidence that Lin Mao felt that the scene was joyful, and after taking Xiaoqing back to Wangyou Valley, he even sent the housekeeper down the mountain to send a congratulatory gift.

"I remember that the Yao family seems to be really..."

Lin Mao said softly to Chang Xiaoqing.

Chang Xiaoqing has been in charge of Wangyou Valley for the past few years, and she knows the details of the tenant farmers in the valley, so she also nodded slightly; "That's right, the Yao family has one daughter and three sons."

The girl's face and age seemed to match the information reported earlier.But having said that, Chang Xiaoqing still did not relax her vigilance, her eyes staring at Yao Xiaohua were even colder and sharper than before——

"I'll ask again, where are you from?"

Chang Xiaoqing raised her hand, and slowly touched Yao Xiaohua's face with the broken sword in her hand, then asked coldly.

No matter how strong the Orion family's daughter is, it is impossible for her to jump into the valley through the cold wind and natural danger. Therefore, in Chang Xiaoqing's view, this woman is even more suspicious than before.

"I, I am... I came from under the... ice, ice..."

Yao Xiaohua was so frightened that her whole body was trembling, her cheek touched the sword blade in Chang Xiaoqing's hand, a thin thread of blood slowly oozes out.The more anxious the girl was, the heavier her dialect became. Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing listened for a long time before they managed to sort out what she said.

Then they learned that Yufeng was frozen earlier this year than in previous years. As a result, Yao Da and his hunting team were directly frozen in the forest, and they had to wait for the next spring to collect the corpses.There were also Yao Xiaohua's three younger brothers in the hunting team, who also died together.Her mother fainted after hearing the bad news, and never got up since then.

"...It's really... I really have nothing to eat." Yao Xiaohua sobbed and cried, her snot fell into the snow, and her nose was red from the cold, "I just wanted to walk outside the forest, give me Mother looked for something to eat, took it, unexpectedly lost her way, the more I walked, the colder it became, and when I found out that I entered the mountain, I couldn't find my way back... I thought I was going to die like this , When the wind comes, I will go to the underworld with my father and my brother, and I wandered around in the woods for a while to find my poor father and brother. Into a cave in the ice..."

"Ice cave?"

Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao couldn't help asking in unison.

That Yao Xiaohua seemed to be afraid that Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao would not believe her, she nodded quickly: "Yes, it's an ice cave...there is water in the cave, but it's very cold...but the further you go, the more The water was still a little warm... I followed the water and walked in the ice cave for a long time, finally got out, and came to a hot pool..."

Speaking of this, Yao Xiaohua seemed to remember the situation at that time, and her whole body trembled.

"Many, so many wolves surrounded the pool. When they saw me, they chased me, and I ran, ran, and came here..."

"Bullshit."

Chang Xiaoqing snorted coldly, without changing his expression, he raised his hand and wanted to take Yao Xiaohua's name directly, but this time, he was stopped by Lin Mao again.

"slow--"

Lin Mao said, showing a thoughtful look.

"Master, she is talking nonsense."

Chang Xiaoqing said in a low voice with great disapproval.

He and Chang Xiaoqing have lived in the Wangyou Valley for so long, and they have never heard that there will be an ice cave leading down to the mountain in Yuhe in winter. Obviously, Yao Xiaohua is just talking nonsense to delay time. A wild lie.

"Where is that ice cave?"

Lin Mao asked suddenly.

When Yao Xiaohua saw Lin Mao asking her, she immediately showed an overjoyed expression, half rolled and half crawled up from the ground, stretched out a hand covered in bruises as if to point the way...but the hand was still in the air, the girl His face suddenly turned pale.

"I...I..." She turned her head and looked at Lin Mao, still crying, "I...can't recognize the way...I, I didn't lie...My father said that liars were caught by thunder. It was split...it's really there..."

Yao Xiaohua seemed to be terribly frightened by the ferocious Chang Xiaoqing, and she yelled nondescript words like "Master Daxia" in her mouth, and finally hiccupped from crying, fell to the ground and trembled, she was in extreme embarrassment.

After Lin Mao pondered for a while, he seemed to have realized something.

"It's really hard to tell the direction at night, how about this, Miss Yao, spend the night here first, and then take me to find the ice cave in the daytime, okay?"

"Master?!"

After Lin Mao had finished speaking, Chang Xiaoqing suddenly turned her head to look at him, her face seemed to be covered with frost, full of disapproval.

Lin Mao pretended he hadn't seen it, and took Yao Xiaohua to the bottom of the small building, and settled her and the two donkeys together.Seeing that there was someone more in his room, the white donkey snorted dissatisfiedly, but the gray donkey looked at that girl Yao very meekly, and leaned against her.

This donkey shed has been repaired by Chang Xiaoqing before, although it is extremely simple, it can be regarded as impenetrable by rain and snow.Lin Mao picked up another quilt and gave it to Yao Xiaohua, which can be regarded as a kind arrangement for the time being.

That Yao Xiaohua obviously thought the same way, after Lin Mao sent the quilt down, her face was flushed red, she thanked her incoherently, and even knelt down on the ground with a thud, knocking Lin Mao down Several rings.

"Thank you, Mr. Hero! Thank you, Mr. Hero...Your great kindness, Mr. Hero, I can't repay you, Xiaohua... From now on, you will be a cow, a horse, a wife, and a concubine for you..."

She must be a girl from the country, she spoke extremely vulgar words, Lin Mao's forehead twitched when he heard it, and when he lowered his head, he saw bloodstains on Yao Xiaohua's forehead, obviously because he didn't kowtow forcefully.Lin Mao quickly pulled her up again, and at the same time took the opportunity to stroke her wrist, so as to find out if she had martial arts.

Chang Xiaoqing was just watching coldly from the sidelines, but when he saw Lin Mao's fingertips touching the girl's dirty wrist, two groups of extremely angry fires suddenly lit up in his eyes, and before Lin Mao could speak again, he had already made a mistake. He turned around, grabbed Yao Xiaohua by the collar, threw her into the depths of the donkey shed, and then slammed the door shut with a "bang".

"Xiaoqing?"

"The pulse is turbid and the breath is heavy, it looks like an ordinary person," Chang Xiaoqing said first, his voice was like ice cubes under the jade peak, and every word was hard.

But when he took Lin Mao upstairs, he leaned over again, and whispered in Lin Mao's ear: "However, there are many ways to hide and conceal the power in this world, and it is unknown what the identity of this woman is." .”

Chang Xiaoqing's face was cold, but his breath was extremely hot. When he spoke, his breath hit Lin Mao's ear, which made Lin Mao shrink his neck slightly.

He thought to himself that Chang Xiaoqing clearly knew the method of the secret voice, but for some reason she always leaned into his ear and talked softly—it's just that Lin Mao still has other things to think about in his mind, and these years he has been on his mind for a while. Fleeting, it sinks into the bottom of my heart in an instant and I don't want to remember it anymore.
