Wen Mo has lived alone for a few years since Wen's father passed away, and teaching the children in the village on weekdays is enough to cover his own living expenses.

Therefore, when Bai Jinmo came, he was faced with such a situation of not being very rich, barely making a living, as for other things, he couldn't think about it, but the family still had a little donkey that Wen's father had given to Wen Mo.

Looking at the scene of heavy snow falling outside, Bai Jinmo only felt that his whole body was extremely cold, even if the indoor stove was burning vigorously, it couldn't dispel the cold air from his body.

Stretching out his pale fingertips from the cold, he filled himself with a bowl of warm rice porridge, and while sipping it, he thought about how to live in the future.

With his current body, he can't do any important physical work at all. Apart from teaching in this small village, he really has no other skills for a while.

"That's not possible..."

Bai Jinmo frowned and looked around the bare walls of the house. There were only two strings of pennies left in the house. He counted them, and there were only about ninety coins in total. Therefore, Bai Jinmo made up his mind to go into the mountains tomorrow. good.

That night, he slept very hard. Although the small brick house was not ventilated, it was still uncomfortably cold. The charcoal fire in the stove beside the kang was only faintly glowing and warm, and the quilt covering his body was already old cotton. Covered, even if it is tightly covered, I feel cold hands and feet.

On the second day, after the lecture was over, Bai Jinmo hurriedly ate some dry steamed buns at home, then wrapped himself in thick cotton clothes, carried a bamboo basket on his back, and walked up the mountain.

Wen Mo's house happened to be at the end of the village, and it was closer to the mountains over there.

It was cold winter at this time, and the mountain road was not easy to walk. It took Bai Jinmo almost half an hour to reach the mountain.

Everywhere is covered in silver, and the crystal white snow on the branches is cold and lifeless. Along the way, the young man's face turned a little blush, and he coughed incessantly.

Holding the tree and finally calming down his breath, Bai Jinmo looked at the frozen mountain forest, sighed helplessly, walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and carefully looked at the surrounding situation with his eyes.

Fortunately, when he walked the world with the young monk, he had suffered a lot, and he had experienced many times in finding herbs in winter, which happened to be a great help for this mind training.

There are very few herbs that can be picked in winter. Bai Jinmo walked around for a long time, and only picked half a basket of Gastrodia elata, which is about three catties. Going to the pharmacy in the town can exchange more than 40 copper coins.

Thinking about the expenses during this period of time, everything else is fine, mainly because of the charcoal fire. Now Bai Jinmo is very afraid of the cold, and the quilt at home has to be replaced, otherwise it will be too tortured.

Look at the vast expanse of whiteness, fearing that there will be nothing to gain today, the shivering young man tightened his collar and planned to go down the mountain.

Just two steps away, the young man stopped.

Bai Jinmo's pale cheeks were flushed from the cold, and there were still unmelted snowdrops on his eyelashes, but his eyebrows began to frown - he smelled a faint smell of blood.

On this snow-covered mountain, the smell of blood is probably not a good thing.

Resisting the itching in his throat, he walked carefully step by step, for fear of disturbing anything. After all, the koi god, who can't use spells casually, is a weak and sick child who will fall if the wind is strong. kind.

The smell of blood did not dissipate, but lingered in the nose instead.

In this cold wind, Bai Jinmo felt that he was being followed by a sharp gaze.

Just when he was about to turn back, a sudden force shackled him, and the next moment, the world was spinning, and behind him was the sound of snow being crushed, the bamboo basket on his shoulder rolled to the side, and the gastrodia elata fell to pieces. Make a few.

The back was extremely cold, Bai Jinmo resisted the physical discomfort, frowned and looked at the man who suppressed himself in the snow.

The man was half-kneeling on Bai Jinmo's waist, wrapped in a black fur cloak, and the smell of blood was even stronger; his facial features were deep and resolute, with a scar across his face, his complexion was quite dark, and he was exposed to the sun all year round His body is rough and his physique is tall and strong, like a mountain bear, giving people invisible pressure.

A gleaming silver dagger was held by the man, and it lay across Bai Jinmo's neck.

With just one glance, Bai Jinmo could see that it was still that familiar soul and that person.

However, this kind of meeting situation made Bai Jinmo very unhappy.

"Cough cough," the sickly young man tilted his head and coughed, calmed his breath and said weakly: "Brother, I just went up the mountain to collect medicine and sell it for money. If there is nothing else, can you let me go?"

The author has something to say: I am from Baidu for the conversion of the copper coins, and I am not sure if it is correct. Then I also searched for herbs in the mountains in winter, and found that Gastrodia elata can be picked in spring and winter, so I wrote it like this, anyway. Don't be serious, my knowledge is limited (呀ε=(?ο`*)))

I like it and remember to collect it~
