if you see snow

At dawn on the third day, the three of Su Ruhui headed towards the snow line.It just snowed last night, and the ground was completely covered by a thick layer of snow.Along the way, countless corpses passed by, all frozen into human sticks, and the empty eye sockets were filled with dust and snowflakes.In order not to run into other testers, they chose a slightly steep route, bypassing the cliff and going up, crossed a ravine, and climbed up the exposed hillside to reach the snow line.

The mountain road was steep, especially when it was covered with snow, and it was very difficult for the three of them to walk on it.When the sun was fully up, they finally rounded the cliff and reached the ravine.The three of them formed a line, tied a hemp rope between each other, and walked north along the narrow and raised edge of the ravine.This edge is too narrow, like walking on a single-plank bridge.Fortunately, the weather was good during the day, unlike last night when the wind and snow raged.

Suddenly, He Sheng, who was at the front, screamed, a large piece of snow collapsed under his feet, he didn't step on it, and his body crooked and rolled down the snow slope.When he rolled like this, Su Ruhui and Sang Chiyu behind were pulled down together.The three of them rolled to the bottom like a string of balls, and Su Ruhui was buried in the snow, with cold snow particles in his mouth.

Fortunately, it snowed heavily last night, and the mountain was full of sharp rocks, without a layer of snow to cover it, so people who rolled down like this would be useless.Su Ruhui was almost frozen underneath, and opened his eyes with difficulty, facing a pair of slack eyes.

Sang Chiyuti pulled him out by slipping his collar, and the two of them saw the dead body under him.

On the other side, He Sheng also stood up. He was on the other side, not far from Su Ruhui.The three of them looked back at the ravine at the same time, and saw countless corpses lying in disorder under the snow, some with hands and feet exposed, and some with heads exposed, their skin was so cold that they turned into popsicles.If they hadn't fallen and collapsed the ice, it would have been impossible to see so many corpses buried here.

[Congratulations to the host for harvesting the messy internal organs of frozen meat X37. 】

"They..." He Sheng said in fear, "Who are they? Trialists?"

Su Ruhui squatted down to look at their faces. He had a photographic memory, and he remembered all the people who had been tested before.After looking around for a while, he really saw a few familiar people, and he said: "There are indeed testers, but most of them are unfamiliar faces."

Su Ruhui turned over one of the corpses, fully clothed, with a frightened expression, as if he saw something extremely terrifying before dying."Baotai" was embroidered with red thread on the collar, which probably was the dead man's name.

"Why did they die here?" He Sheng asked.

Su Ruhui shrugged, expressing that he didn't know.

This is the leeward side, and it is steep, so no one usually comes here, so it becomes a place to dump corpses.Who dropped them here?Su Ruhui thought.Turning to look at Su Yu, the young man's face was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Time was running out, and there was no time to take care of these corpses, so the three continued to climb up.Stepping on a little bit to the snow line, but did not dare to go up.There were snowdrifts all around them, and they hid in the snow until the hour of noon came.Putting up a pergola and looking out, there is no one on the snow line, probably waiting nearby.

At noon, a few small military officers came up from the mountain in a puppet carriage. Like the day before yesterday, they set up tables and waited for people to report.Finally, a few scattered people came out and told the officer that they were named Xiangli.Counting people, more than a dozen came, and the monk Xiao Huang who had fought with them before was also there.The three of Su Ruhui looked at each other for a moment, then they also crawled out of the snow.

I gave my name and surname, and waited at the side. It was a long time after noon, and no one appeared under the snow.The officer counted the names and said, "52, two more."

Everyone showed panic, "Are they going to fight again?"

"Wait..." The officer squinted his eyes and looked at the book, "Jiang Quexie? That Jiang Quexie from the Jiang Sect in Yunzhou?"

"It's me!" Su Ruhui came out.

"You are a son of an aristocratic family, and a son of an aristocratic family cannot enter the Pioneer Guard." The officer waved his hand and ordered someone to take him away, "Come here, arrange a separate guard for him."

Su Ruhui asked suspiciously, "Why can't you enter? I used to be able to enter. My sister was originally in Pioneer Guard."

"The superior has issued an order. You can't enter from today onwards." The officer said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't delay our work. There are many families in the secret sect. One more you is not too many, and one less you is not too much." Little, make a noise and throw you out."

He Sheng comforted him, "Second brother, don't panic. You have a family status, and they will definitely arrange a better job for you."

Something is wrong, Su Ruhui has an ominous premonition.He had stayed in the Secret Sect for a while before, selecting the best players to enlist in the army. He had never been on the stage to fight, or fought in the school field. He had never heard of such a cruel method of killing and training.Looking at the remaining testers in the circle, there are not many "passers-by" above their heads, basically "monks" and "thugs".I also want to know that the black street must have a better chance of winning against ordinary people who conceal their identities.

Coupled with the corpses I met before, it feels even more wrong.

The purpose of the occult sect's trials is probably not to enlist in the army, otherwise there would be no need to screen out the sons of aristocratic families.

He cupped his hands and said: "I am causing trouble to the military master. I have two brothers with different surnames here, and I want to take them to the next guard. I wonder if the military master can make it easier?"

He walked forward with a smile, covered the gaze of the tester behind him with his body, and secretly stuffed a handful of broken silver into each of the two officers.

The officer took the money, put on a smile and said, "I never imagined that the young master was born in a family and is so sensible. To tell you the truth, we obey orders, and we will accommodate you if we can accommodate you. There are 52 people here, and we only need five Ten, you can take one person away. We can't explain if there are fewer people, but the young master will be considerate."

"Then can you tell me why the aristocratic family can't enter Pioneer Guard?" Su Ruhui asked in a low voice.

"Why don't we know the order from above." The officer said in a low voice, "I only know that last month Pioneer Guards went into the snow environment, [-] people went out, only a dozen people came back, and almost the entire army was wiped out. I heard from people who came back that many refugees in the cave disappeared, and I don’t know where they went. There are too many people missing, and the people in Heijie are also retreating. The snow situation is not peaceful now, young master, can you go to other guards? So go to other guards, Longxiang Guard or Ying Yang Guard, which one is better than Pioneer Guard?"

"The last question, did we have more than one round of conscription?" Su Ruhui asked.

The officer nodded, "Indeed, we will go down and clean up the dead in a while, and throw them to the leeward slope."

No wonder there were so many corpses, Su Ruhui knew where those corpses came from.

"Young master, please pick someone to leave, we are busy." The officer urged him.

Su Ruhui straightened up, turned around and apologized to He Sheng: "Brother, I'm sorry, I can only take one person with me. The third younger brother is small and no one can take care of him, so I'll take him with him. Are you okay by yourself?"

He Sheng pushed Su Yu out and said, "Of course it's no problem. I came here for Pioneer Guard. I've been looking forward to it for several years. Thanks to the conscription, I'm still reluctant to go to other places."

Su Ruhui pressed Su Yu's shoulder, and said to He Sheng in a low voice: "Then I will take my third brother away. Brother, take care of yourself."

With that said, Su Ruhui led Su Yu into the puppet carriage.

The carriage rumbled along a mountain road, getting farther and farther away from the snow line.Su Ruhui turned his face and asked Su Yu, "Did you get scared just now?"

Su Yu shook his head lightly, and said, "The secret sect is weird."

The two fell into silence, each other's hearts were very heavy.

Just now when Su Ruhui fell down the snow ditch and bumped into a corpse, Su Yu pulled him up, and the two of them saw the face of the corpse together—it was the face of He Sheng.His face was blue and white, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he died with regret.
