i have a museum of curiosities

The reflection disappeared in a flash, but Zhang didn't think he was dazzled.After experiencing so many incidents, he deeply understands a truth: Never underestimate any details around you, maybe the truth you want to pursue may be hidden in these details.

Since you have doubts in your heart, then solve the doubts.

Zhang Ye jumped over the simple tomb with a light leap, and then he didn't stop walking, and immediately chased towards the place where he saw the reflection before.

Although the original Shen Qi had amazing internal skills, his lightness kung fu was not that outstanding, so even though he tried his best to boost his energy, he still left a series of footprints on the snow—it is said that a real light kung fu master can "step on the snow without a trace", Zhang said. It's also clearly not on this list.

But even so, relying on the deep and unparalleled internal strength, Zhang still chased to the place where he saw the strange reflection within a few breaths.This is a natural cliff, and there is an outward protrusion under the cliff, extending to the corner on the other side, and then down to the Baizhang abyss.

Zhang Ye saw the obvious footprints on the protrusion at a glance, as well as the ice edges scattered on the ground shining with a strange cold light.

This icicle is not like the usual ice cubes, but has a strange cold force lingering on it, and its appearance is smoother.

"It seems that the reflection just now came from this thing..."

Looking at the footprints with different shades, Zhang Ye was startled for a moment, then frowned and said to himself: "The weight of the left and right feet is different... either there is a heavy load on the back, or there is an injury on the foot! According to the size of the footprints, it is not true. Looks like a man..."

While muttering to himself, Zhang Ye imagined an unidentified woman holding the strange ice edge, hiding behind the cliff and secretly spying on him to find out the cause of Liao Qing's death.

Looking at the size of the ice edge in his hand and the blood stained on the tip, Zhang Ye suddenly had a thought: "No... Liao Qing was killed by this ice, right?"

Strange to say, the weird coldness showed no signs of melting in Zhang Ye's hands, on the contrary, Zhang Ye felt that his body temperature was being swallowed by it!
"What an evil thing..."

Zhang Ye grumbled, and managed to stuff the tip of Bing Leng into an inconspicuous small cloth bag at his waist. After trying it, it didn't fall off, and then he looked at the raised corner beside the cliff.

Judging from the footprints, the woman should have hidden behind the corner.So would she have been hiding there and preparing to sneak attack me?
After thinking about it, Zhang Ye shook his head.

Before that, I had been checking the bulge beside the cliff and the weird ice edge. If the opponent wanted to sneak attack, he should have done it long ago. There is no need to wait until now.What's more, beyond the bulge is the abyss of hundreds of feet, no matter how skilled you are, you will never survive if you fall down. Standing in such a narrow place to sneak attack, you are not afraid that you will fall too?

So to sum up, Zhang also decided that there must be a hole in the sky after the corner!
After deliberating again to make sure that he didn't miss anything for the time being, Zhang Ye dared to touch it.

Around the corner, a dark hole appeared in front of Zhang Ye, but the strange thing was that there were no footprints on the relatively wide ground in front of the hole!
"The woman didn't enter the cave?" Zhang couldn't help but frowned.

The ground in front of the entrance of the cave is about two meters away from the cliff, and about two or three meters away from the corner. Unless the opponent is able to jump into the cave with a good lightness skill, otherwise such a platform cannot leave footprints.After all, this is the snow-covered Bailuya, not an ordinary flat land.

Zhang also glanced at the entrance of the cave, and then instinctively glanced down the cliff beside him.

It didn’t matter what he saw, it really shocked him—a girl in ragged clothes was holding on to an unknown vine growing on the edge of the cliff, and her whole body was already hanging off the cliff!
The situation was urgent, and there was no room for Zhang to think about it. He slammed his left foot into the snow to make sure that his toes had dug into the soil layer. Then he stretched out his right hand and tightly grasped the girl's wrist.

"rise--"

Following Zhang Ye's low shout, he directly turned the girl's body into a circle, and then placed it on the platform in front of the cave entrance.

The girl seemed to have just realized it at this moment, and fell to the ground with a scream, looking at Zhang Ye with a face full of fear, her body backed away quickly in the snow, and her hands subconsciously hugged her knees.

Zhang Ye exhaled lightly, and then slowly looked at the girl in front of him.

This girl looks about twelve or thirteen years old, and she is still in her cardamom age. At this moment, she is wearing "rags" hanging on her body, and the exposed skin is also full of scars. If you look closely, it looks like she was torn apart by a wild beast. Bite!The hands and feet were also red from the cold, and even the fingers and toes were cracked to varying degrees!

Zhang Ye's heart tightened inexplicably.

The icy and snowy Bailuya is not suitable for human survival.But in front of her eyes was a real little girl who looked like a beggar...God knows how many crimes she has committed?
If it is said that Qinglian Xiangxiang is due to the training of a sword master who has deep internal skills since childhood and is not afraid of the wind and cold, then it is a miracle that the girl in front of her can survive in such freezing conditions!And what caused this miracle is probably derived from human instinctive desire to survive.

Regardless of his secret being exposed, Zhang Ye touched a small black leather bag embroidered with gold patterns on his waist, and a huge furry bear skin appeared in his hands.

This is the first time he has used the storage space bag that originally belonged to Zhang Ye in front of outsiders—yes, this is why Zhang Ye still insists on being able to return to the present world: a space storage bag, It is derived from the space props obtained during the trip to Atrea!
The existence of this storage bag fully proves one thing - the experience of being "Zhang Ye" is real!
Putting the bear skin on the trembling little girl, Zhang Ye tried to communicate with her.

"Who are you? Where did you come from? Why did you appear in Bailuya?"

The little girl looked at him with more doubts than fear in her eyes.

Just when Zhang Ye was about to communicate with her again, the little girl suddenly jumped up from the snow, grabbed the bear skin tightly and ran into the cave behind her.

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "There is such a natural place to avoid the wind and snow, why should I use the space bag at the risk of being exposed..."

Although he said so, Zhang Ye did not regret what he had done.

Looking at the dark hole, the corners of Zhang Ye's mouth curved into an inexplicable arc.

"At that moment just now, I clearly felt the traces of the circulation of true qi, and the attribute of internal force is upright and awe-inspiring, so I shouldn't be an evil person... It seems that this little girl also has a story..."

Relying on his superb martial arts, Zhang also boldly entered the dark cave.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Zhang Ye always felt that the moment he entered the cave, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.Just like when I was inexplicably summoned by Ariel and saw the real body of the "Nine Kings" in the ruins of Atreya.

The feeling of familiarity made Zhang Ye more eager. Even if it was just a fluke, a glimmer of hope, he was looking forward to returning to the present world after passing through this cave.

However, a fluke is a fluke after all, and the hope has not become a reality.

There is a faint aroma in the dark cave, not spices, not incense, but some kind of special plant aroma.

Zhang Ye's expression moved, he closed his eyes and then opened them slowly, and suddenly the situation in the cave could be seen in all directions.

This is what Zhang also practiced based on the "God's Eye" found in the Atreya Royal Library.The Central Plains martial arts have always had methods to cultivate eye skills, and Yingxue Villa, which is the number one sect in Bailuya, naturally will not lack such secret books.So Zhang also combined the "God's Eye" and the method of eye skills training to create a more magical eye skill-mind eye.

With the blessing of "mind's eye", Zhang Ye not only found the little girl who escaped in, but also found the source of the fragrance - a magical lotus.

To be precise, it should be snow lotus.

But what is strange is that this snow lotus is actually a twin!
"Bingdi Xuelian!" Zhang couldn't help but let out a low voice.

In many martial arts novels, snow lotus has medicinal properties such as "resolving a hundred poisons" and "solidifying essence".It is a medicine that is priceless!Not to mention that it is a snow lotus with twin stalks, its value can be multiplied by at least ten times!
"Hmm... a single medicinal herb is much higher than my reward...but this is very strange, no matter how expensive the medicinal herb is, it is only for saving lives. How can it be more valuable than human life itself? Hehe... Sure enough, in such an age, human life is the least valuable... No, it should be said that the lives of ordinary people are the least valuable..." Zhang couldn't help curling his lips, and lost interest in Qi Yao in front of him instantly.

Compared with this peculiar Bingdi snow lotus, Zhang also thinks that the little girl curled up in a corner tightly wrapped in bear skin is more important.

But in fact, the little girl only showed fear and confusion in her eyes, and ignored Zhang Ye's questions at all.

After trying to use different attitudes to ask the other party's life experience to no avail, Zhang Ye looked at the little girl who was still shivering in the corner, and finally chose to give up.

"Sure enough, children are the most troublesome..."

Zhang Ye sighed helplessly, took out another soft wolf fur from the storage bag, spread it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ye took out a lotus leaf-wrapped stage from the storage bag, and a fresh rice fragrance filled the small cave.

"Qingchuan's specialty 'Jiangmi Cake', would you like some?"

Zhang also handed the food called "Jiangmi Cake" to the little girl, and saw her gulp and swallow, her expression full of longing, but her body was still huddled in the corner and refused to move.

"It's not strong enough..." Zhang Ye muttered, and gently put the glutinous rice cake on the ground. Anyway, it was wrapped in lotus leaves, so it didn't feel sticky.

"Stuffed with Yunzhou's specialty 'yak jerky', ordinary people can't eat it." Zhang Ye took out a small bundle of jerky tied with hemp rope as if by magic, and the fragrance in the cave became stronger immediately.

The little girl's eyes showed deep longing, and Zhang also knew that the heat was almost ready, so he touched the storage bag on his waist again, and this time there were two more strings of crystal clear items in his hand.

"Fengtian Prefecture's specialty 'Bingtanghulu'! Little Lolita... No, little girl's favorite!"

The moment she saw the candied haws, the little girl finally couldn't help it anymore. Like a nimble female leopard, she suddenly jumped out of the bear skin and went straight to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye grinned and swiped his left hand. The girl who had just touched the candied haws with her little hand was instantly hugged in his arms.

The girl was startled and struggled immediately, but Zhang Ye unhurriedly stuffed a bunch of candied haws into her mouth.

"Well……"

The girl couldn't care less about struggling anymore, she ate a bunch of hawthorns one by one, and finished the whole bunch of candied haws in a few mouthfuls, but she ate it in such a hurry that she probably couldn't bear to swallow it, her two little cheeks were bulging, cute and funny.But Zhang Ye saw only pity in his eyes.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, brother has a lot here."

"...water...water..."

This was the first time the little girl spoke, her voice was hoarse, green and distressing.

Zhang Ye hurriedly touched the storage bag, and a bamboo tube appeared in his hand.

"Come on, drink slowly...don't choke..."

"Gollum...gollum...gollum..."

After just a few sips, the little girl had finished drinking the water in the bamboo tube. Zhang Ye patted her on the back lightly, but frowned.

Regardless of the difference between men and women, Zhang Ye gently lifted off the little girl's top, which looked like a beggar's outfit, and the shocking wounds were exposed in front of his eyes. There were even a few wounds that had not yet healed, and blood flowed out with the little girl's activities .

Zhang Ye's mouth was tightly pursed, he patted the little girl's head lightly, and said softly: "Girl, after you finish eating, brother will help you treat the wound on your body, okay?"

"Woooo..."

The little girl was currently chewing two slices of yak jerky, and had no time to talk to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye gently stroked the little girl's messy hair with his left hand, and then touched the storage bag at his waist with his right hand, and soon there were mattresses, kettles, washbasins, towels and other daily necessities in the cave. , and even a gray uniform.

Not long after, the little girl finally had enough to eat and drink, and the original vigilance returned again. She stepped back two steps away, staring at Zhang Ye, wondering what she was thinking.

Zhang Ye lit a bonfire near the entrance of the cave, and then used the snow outside to turn into water to heat up on the bonfire, and finally poured it into the washbasin.

"Girl, come here, brother will treat the wound for you." Zhang Ye said while heating a needle on the fire for disinfection.

The moment the little girl saw the needle, there was a flash of fear in her eyes, which happened to be caught by Zhang Ye.

Scared of needles?Had she been hurt by needles before?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye put the needle aside and said, "Since you don't like needles, can I use golden sore medicine?"

After speaking, Zhang Ye took out another emerald green porcelain bottle from the storage bag.

The little girl looked at it, her eyes full of hesitation.

Zhang was not in a hurry, but took out another sugar figurine from the storage bag, and laughed at himself, "It was originally a gift for Xiao Qi, but it turned out to be all used on this little girl..."

As soon as the little girl saw the sugar figurine, she stopped hesitating and quietly walked up to Zhang Ye.

"As expected, you can understand my words." Zhang Ye smiled kindly, and said, "I'll apply the medicine for you first, and you can take off your clothes yourself."

Zhang Ye said these words naturally and frankly, but the little girl's face turned red inexplicably as she pinched the sugar figure.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye also understood something, and said with a straight face: "I am a doctor, and you are a patient. There is nothing we cannot see."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, bit the sugar figurine with her mouth, and slowly took off her shirt.

Shocking wounds almost spread all over his body, Zhang Ye's heart tightened again, he pursed his lips and said, "Girl, your wounds are serious, I have to disinfect you first, and then I can use the golden sore medicine, do you understand?"

The little girl clasped her chest tightly with her hands, and there was a mist in her eyes, but she still nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye hurriedly took out a jug of high-strength white wine from the storage bag, dipped it in a clean cotton cloth, and gently wiped the little girl's body.

"Ha-ho..."

The little girl let out an inhuman cry of pain, Zhang Ye's eyes were sour, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.But he didn't have time to take care of it. Instead, he slowed down his movements as much as possible, and gently and carefully cleaned the little girl's wound.

About half an hour later, the wound on the little girl's body was finally cleaned up, and then Zhang Ye picked up the porcelain bottle and applied the golden sore medicine to her.

Perhaps because of the cool touch and mild properties of the golden sore medicine, when Zhang Ye was treating the wound on the little girl's back, she fell asleep.

After another half an hour, looking at the little girl who was wrapped into a "mummy" by himself, Zhang Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Stuffing the little girl into the quilt that he warmed with his body, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Ye's mouth.

"Sleep... sleep... There is no harm in the dream, there is no danger in the dream... No one will hurt you again... Have a good dream, good night, girl."
