lord and beauty

The wind and snow got stronger at night, and there was no sign of stopping. Jiang Beimu was walking in the woods with Tan Qiu on his back. The wind moved through the forest, and the dead leaves were rubbing against each other. When I touched it, Tan Qiu only had a fever, but now Tan Qiu has already burned to the ground and started talking.

The illness came like a mountain, Jiang Beimu did not expect Tan Qiu to be so seriously ill.

It’s too late to go to the city to find a doctor. Moreover, at this time, many medical centers and pharmacies are probably closed, and it’s useless to go there. We can only find a place to rest first. If it’s just ordinary wind and cold, herbs in the mountains There are a lot of them, people who live nearby should have some medicinal herbs in their homes, and keep them to sell in the town, which may be able to solve their urgent needs.

After making up his mind, Jiang Beimu slowed down and looked around. Perhaps there is no unparalleled road. Not long after Jiang Beimu went down the mountain along the path, he caught a glimpse of a spark in the snow.

The halo was soft and dim, like a candle burning in a farmer's house.

Jiang Beimu heaved a sigh of relief, and comforted Tan Qiu on his back with a wide voice. Even though he failed to get a response, Tan Qiu became much more stable as he said, but unconsciously buried his head deep in his clothes, breathing hot breath from the tip of his nose, Accompanied by a soft humming sound.

The farmer's house was not far from the foot of the mountain, Jiang Beimu quickened his pace again, and in a short while, he came to the front of the house.

The house is very simple, surrounded by a fence around the outside, and a red lantern hangs at the gate, swaying gently with the wind in the snow at night, the candlelight he saw just now is the radiance of the lantern.

Fortunately, there is still a little light in the window frame, and the host has not gone to bed yet.

Jiang Beimu took a deep breath, stepped forward a few steps, pushed open the fence door with a creak, walked to the front of the house and knocked on the door lightly.

"anyone here?"

After saying that, the room was silent for a moment, and then there was the rustling sound of cloth rubbing, but still no one answered.

Thinking about it, today is the first day of the new year, how could anyone run to the foot of a mountain and knock on someone's door in the middle of the night, let alone there are bandits on this mountain.

Jiang Beimu knew the worries of the farmers, so he continued to speak: "I am not far from Sifang City. I went out with my family today. Unexpectedly, I was robbed by bandits on the road, so I ran all the way here. My wife was injured. Can I stay overnight? All I need is a house that can shelter from the wind and snow."

The candles in the room flickered slightly, followed by a series of small footsteps, and stopped all the way to the door, as if thinking about the credibility of Jiang Beimu's words.

"My surname is Jiang. I do some small business in Sifang City. Today I only ask for a room to stay overnight. I will leave early tomorrow morning. This is a small reward."

Jiang Beimu walked to the light-transmitting window, took off a pearl from his waist, and stuffed it in through the gap in the window. The pearl made a series of crisp sounds and rolled over.

Jiang Beimu returned to the main entrance and waited with bated breath. This time, he heard the deliberately lowered voice of the conversation in the room.

The voices were a man and a woman, and they sounded a bit older. The two were hesitating. Jiang Beimu didn't speak again this time, and just waited quietly for the decision of the two in the room.

The wind and snow blew the red lantern above Jiang Beimu's head, casting a swaying candle shadow. Tan Qiu was still unconscious, and Jiang Beimu couldn't help but feel a little restless. Decide.

"The room on the left is a firewood house. If you don't mind, you can stay in it for one night. The firewood house has an upper floor, the wooden ladder is behind the door, and there is hay on the upper floor. The key to the firewood house is under the flowerpot in the middle of the second floor of the flower shelf on the left."

The person who spoke was the host, but the two of them didn't open the door. Xu Shi was still wary of Jiang Beimu, but Jiang Beimu didn't care. After all, they were willing to give up a house. I saw other houses.

"Thank you."

Jiang Beimu thanked him, and walked to the firewood room with Tan Qiu on his back, took out the key to open the firewood room according to what the old man said, closed the door and took a brief look, and by the light outside, he could barely tell that the firewood room was indeed After piled up a lot of dry firewood, Jiang Beimu took out the wooden ladder from behind the door, went up and turned around first, reached out to touch the hay, and went down to carry Tan Qiu up after confirming that he was all right.

The upper floor is very open and clean. There is a layer of dry grass on the ground, and there is a small window. The dark area outside the window seems to be a forest. Jiang Beimu took a look and ignored it. Then he got up and left the firewood room.

Tan Qiu felt as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice, and the blood all over his body was about to stagnate, and he began to dream again, but the dream was very fantastic.

He dreamed that he came to a snowy field, and the wind and snow all over the sky rushed towards him, as if it was going to turn into a giant beast and swallow him with claws and teeth. Dian was running towards him. The giant wolf was huge and vigorous, with snow-white fur and a layer of light blue under the moonlight. A pair of bright yellow pupils shone like gems, just staring at him, all the way from the top of the snow mountain Coming galloping, the moment the thick wolf paws hit the ground, the snow powder was stirred up, and it seemed that the giant wolf was coming in the clouds.

The giant wolf gently carried him on his back, and ran wildly on the endless snowfield. At the end of the snowfield, there was a full moon, which almost filled most of the sky. The giant wolf carried him like this and ran towards the moon.

The gentle fur covered his body that was stiff due to the cold, and a steady stream of heat was transmitted from the giant wolf. The warm touch made Tan Qiu drowsy.

"Where are you going.{"

He heard himself ask the giant wolf.

The giant wolf kept on four legs, but a mellow voice sounded in his mind.

"Go home, do you want to come with me?"

"I can't go with you. I have to go home. I still have my parents and sisters at home. If I've been out for too long, they will worry about me."

"Okay, then I'll take you home."

The giant wolf's voice was as gentle as ever, as if no matter how exaggerated Tan Qiu's request was, it would satisfy it.

"Can I see you again?" Tan Qiu felt the warm and soft touch under his palm, and an inexplicable emotion floated in his heart.

The giant wolf laughed a few times, took Tan Qiu through the wind and snow, and galloped towards the silver plate-like moon. Tan Qiu waited for a long time, but the giant wolf didn't answer, but the speed was getting faster and faster. In the end, Tan Qiu only felt as if he had merged with the wind and snow around him, and the moon, which occupied almost half of the sky, was also chased by the giant wolf.

At the end of the snow field is a cliff, and the moon is just beyond the cliff.

The giant wolf ran towards the cliff without feeling anything. The cliff was close at hand. If he accidentally slipped and fell, his body would be smashed to pieces, but Tan Qiu felt extraordinarily calm, watching the moon approaching him bit by bit.

On the edge of the cliff, the giant wolf charged up its hind legs and jumped into the air. In an instant, time seemed to stop for this. Tan Qiu's heart was beating like a drum, and the moonlight was like water, turning into layers of veils, gently sweeping across his face. On the cheek, a suction contained him, and slowly sucked towards the moon.

As for the giant wolf under his palm, under the moonlight, it turned into bits of brilliance, floating beside him like a firefly along the wind.

"farewell."

The moment the giant wolf figure disappeared, that familiar voice sounded again in Tan Qiu's mind, followed by a deathly silence.

A sudden sense of weightlessness came, Tan Qiu exclaimed, and fell instantly, falling into the endless abyss.

"what……!"

Tan Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and struggled to get up from the dream. He accidentally hit something on his arm, and suddenly there was a dull sound of a porcelain bowl falling to the ground. woke up.

Jiang Beimu didn't care to pick up the overturned bowl, and quickly wiped the hot ginger soup on Tan Qiu's legs with his own clothes. Fortunately, it was cold, so Jiang Beimu carefully checked Tan Qiu's legs to make sure that only the hot ginger soup was left on Tan Qiu's legs. It turned a little red, so I felt relieved.

Tan Qiu was short of breath, looking at the man in front of him, the sense of familiarity in his dream came back again.

"Are you all right? Have a nightmare?" As the man said, he leaned over to pick up the bowl on the ground, pushed the wet hay aside, and went to get some hay to spread again.

"Fortunately, it's just ginger soup. I'll make another bowl later. The medicine will take longer to cook. Fortunately, this family really has herbs, which can relieve your wind and cold first. When the sun shines, I will take you to the city. Find a doctor here, and then find an inn to have a good rest."

The man didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with Tan Qiu, he was just talking on his own, looking at the man's busy back, Tan Qiu couldn't help but speak.

"Who are you."
