Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

If the road to the top of the mountain is a checkpoint specially set up by someone,

Then He Li felt that the first difficulty of this level was——

Cold, extremely cold.

He Li wrapped his leather coat around himself, and leaned on a wooden stick that he had found from nowhere. He clasped his palms together and exhaled a breath of hot air, watching the water vapor slowly dissipate in the air and condense into small ice particles that stuck to his hair. Over time, his originally black hair turned white.

When Xu Heng exhaled, his beard was covered with frost.

He took out some dried meat that was still a little warm from his bosom and took a bite when he was hungry.

He Li looked around to see if he could find any trace of living creatures, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Only the white rocks covered with snow accompanied him.

"You have to eat sparingly,"

This is the second problem I need to face——

hunger.

After taking a small bite of the dried meat, he continued to walk upwards with the wooden stick against the cold wind. Snowflakes fell on his shoulders and gradually melted into snow water with the heat. They slipped into the gaps between the fur and the cloth, and the cold followed them in, penetrating into the bones of this young body.

This is a coldness that shouldn't exist.

He Li thought back to the winters he had spent with Ping Ping'er in the village.

crackling,

That was the sound of wood burning in the stove, the heat from the stove was enough to keep us warm all winter long.

The warm firelight in the cottage passed through the glass windows, warming the remaining snow outside, reflecting orange light.

The window blocks the cold wind from outside, but it cannot block the warmth from inside. The heat from inside melts the frost on the glass, forming small drops of water that slide down. When the cold wind blows, the small drops of water solidify into frost again...

At this time, He Li often stood in front of the kitchen, kneading the dough. He usually kept some of the dough for making dumplings and some for cooking noodles.

Ah Ping likes to eat softer noodles, so He Li always cooks them for a little longer and adds carefully prepared marinade or soup. Once the boiling soup is poured out, the delicious noodles are ready to be served.

After eating the noodles, drink the still hot soup in one gulp. Your whole body will emit amazing heat and you will never feel cold again in the whole winter.

The clean aroma and refreshing taste of noodles slowly rise into the air along with the chimney, blending into the world where light snow is still falling.

This became a part of winter and could no longer be separated.

"call--"

He Li hid under a sunken stone cave, took a bite of dried meat, and slowly exhaled a breath of hot air.

The meat jerky taste is not good.

Perhaps the temperature was still dropping, or perhaps his body temperature was no longer enough to warm the dried meat in his arms.

The meat became very hard.

"It's not bad if it's harder, so you can chew it more."

He Li looked at the dried meat in his hand and joked to himself optimistically.

After thinking about it, he decided not to take a second bite and carefully put it back in his arms.

After shaking off the snow on his fur and waiting for the snow outside to become lighter, He Li stood up and walked up the mountain with a wooden stick.

Only a series of crooked footprints were left, and after a gust of snow, the footprints also disappeared in the cold wind...

As the altitude increases, the wind and snow seem to get stronger.

He Li felt the wind pulling at his clothes, forcing the snow and cold into his collar.

"Pity..."

He suddenly missed the scarf that Ping and Ping'er had knitted for him.

As long as he wore that scarf, no matter how strong the wind was, it would not be able to penetrate his clothes.

That day, he fell into the water.

"Brother, you are such a grown-up and still fell into the water."

Ah Ping sat at the head of his bed with a bowl of medicine in her hand, chattering non-stop.

He Li lay on the bed with a sickly red face. He heard his sister scolding him but did not talk back. He just smiled weakly.

"It's winter, how can you fish? Even if you want to catch fish, you have to make sure the ice is thick..."

Ah Ping blew on the medicine in the bowl, took a sip and felt that the temperature was just right, then picked up the spoon and handed it to him:

"Open your mouth..."

"Well, I'll do it myself,"

He Li forced himself to stand up.

"Go to bed. A patient should behave like a patient. What if you catch a cold again? Why are you still trying to be strong now?"

Ah Ping reached out and pushed him back, staring into his eyes with her stubborn eyes.

Like a kitten with bared teeth and claws,

She is really like a kitten, usually gentle and kind, guarding her own nest, but when she encounters something she cares about, she will stretch out her claws and teach her disobedient brother a lesson.

The same is true of her actions at this moment, whether it is the gray eyes that contain a little bit of heartache, or the way she tiptoes slightly, with her soft waist slightly leaning forward, feeding the medicine one by one, or the satisfied smile on her face when she sees her brother "obediently" drink up the medicine on the spoon,

——They are all like a cat who silently cherishes life.

"Okay, take a good rest after taking the medicine. I'm going to go out for a while."

After feeding him the medicine, Ping wiped the corner of his mouth, tucked in the quilt, and walked out with the empty bowl.

Looking at Ah Ping's back as she left, He Li felt relieved for some reason.

Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, Ah Ping came back and poked her head in:

"You must get a good night's sleep,"

"it is good..."

Three days later, after He Li's illness was completely cured,

evening,

Ah Ping suddenly pulled He Li into her room.

"Close your eyes first,"

"it is good,"

He Li was very obedient.

After a while, I felt a warm breath coming towards me, and at the same time, there was a surprising warmth around my neck.

"You can open your eyes now,"

The voice was very close, as if it was spoken right next to his ear, tickling his earlobe.

He opened his eyes,

The first thing that caught my eye was a beautiful face.

She stood on tiptoe, put her hands around her neck, and exhaled a thin layer of mist from her slightly opened red lips.

"..."

He Li's words got stuck in his throat, and his breathing became increasingly disordered.

The breaths of the two people collided, the mist blended together, condensed into clusters of ice crystals in the cold air, and then slowly dissipated.

"Brother, does it look good?" she asked with a smile.

"It's nice," he replied softly.

"You didn't even look at it,"

Ah Ping suddenly puffed up her cheeks and picked at the scarf around his neck, with a tone of dissatisfaction.

He Li then realized that the other party was referring to the scarf, and hurriedly looked down.

The scarf has two colors, blue and red, which are clearly divided at both ends.

I guess Ping and Ping'er each knitted one side.

Ah Ping said at the side:

"In order to prevent you from catching a cold and getting sick again, Ping'er and I decided to knit you a towel together... With this, you will never get sick from the cold again."

Feeling the warmth on my neck and the care from my sisters,

My heart seems to be warmer than my body.

He gently stroked the scarf around his neck:

“This one looks good too…”

cold,

The coldness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow,

Like water dripping continuously onto stone, the cold hammered at He Li's body and invaded his mind, trying to defeat his will and crush his soul.

His fingers had been cracked by the cold wind, and blood was slowly seeping out. He Li moved his stiff limbs and walked slowly towards the top of the mountain.

The wooden stick creaked firmly, supporting the weight of a young man, supporting his will to climb to the top of the mountain, and supporting his determination to protect his sister.

The wind is still howling.
