The clouds are low and the wind is rushing, the leaden gray sky is heavy on the hills around Wangyou Valley, the snow is flying, and the sky is blown to pieces by the strong wind all over the sky.

In the withered peach forest, the groups of ferocious withered trees beside the bamboo building have been covered by the wind and snow, turning into a group of cold and dark gray shadows.

"crunch-"

Lin Mao pushed aside the thick fur nailed to the wall, and stretched out his hand to push open the bamboo window behind the fur. The bone-chilling coldness suddenly rushed into the room like a poisonous snake in the cold wind, stabbing people's fingertips. It hurts sharply.

Lin Mao couldn't help shivering, and hastily closed the window, but in the end he was shocked by the cold, turned around and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with his hands and coughed a few times, and finally spread his palms and Looking at the dim candlelight, as expected, he saw the red stars falling on the palm of his hand.

Lin Mao was startled, and immediately came back to his senses, and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of his clothes.Fortunately, he was wearing a Zen robe made of scarlet sea thorns, and the blood stains on the clothes were not very conspicuous.He slowly moved back to the bed. The bear fur that he had scribbled out before was still spread out on the bed, but the fur was covered with a layer of autumn-colored cocoon silk, which was originally used as a tent for people in winter. Being turned over by Chang Xiaoqing, Quan was reluctantly used as a cover.

Now the appearance of the bamboo building has changed a lot compared to before - the previous bamboo building was built for viewing flowers, so it is extraordinarily spacious and bright.In the past, it was naturally considered elegant and unusual, but now Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing have nowhere to go to live here temporarily, and it is really hard to live in such a place where the cold wind is blowing in the cold winter months.

Fortunately, since Chang Xiaoqing woke up, her body has been getting better day by day. On the contrary, Lin Mao's body has gradually weakened. Chang Xiaoqing naturally took all the decoctions around Lin Mao, just like serving decoction in Wangyou Valley. He took over the daily affairs: first he went back to the burned courtyard and dug out many usable things, and then sealed the inside of the bamboo building with some bed curtains and furs that had not been completely burned; The simple shed was for the two donkeys who helped a lot; and the flue was rebuilt upstairs near the window, and the tea stove that Lin Mao used before was moved there, and the charcoal fire was placed in the corner to facilitate the heating of the tea stove. fire.Because the small room on the bamboo building is not big, now that the air leakage gap has been filled and there is an additional stove, although it is not as warm as spring, it is much more comfortable than the bone-chilling cold situation before. Without a window, the room is inevitably dark, so we can only borrow some reddish light from the tea stove in front of us for illumination.

But Lin Mao didn't care too much about this, as I said before, since Chang Xiaoqing woke up, he gradually appeared sick, even during the day, most of them were lying on the bed half-drowsy and half-awake.Chang Xiaoqing would go out every three or four days, burrowing into the frozen forest and pulling out some thin and small quail and wild deer to wait for the prey to come back.

And today happened to be the day he went out.However, Chang Xiaoqing would be able to come back after noon on weekdays. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and Chang Xiaoqing was still not seen. Lin Mao couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Mao resisted the itching in his throat, slowly climbed onto the bed, and wrapped himself in the bear skin.A little bit of the previous body temperature remained in the bedding, but Lin Mao was still shivering from the cold.In the past few days, his body is getting worse day by day, if it is not for sleeping with Chang Xiaoqing at night, even the slightest bit of heat will not be able to gather in such a thick fur.

However, Lin Mao is no stranger to this appearance of his body... When he was dying, his body was getting weaker and weaker like this now.

(Is it because the elixir of life that the unknown old man made by mistake is about to lose its effect?)

Lin Mao could not help but secretly speculate.

He is already at the age of knowing his destiny, and he has already experienced the bizarre incident of resurrection from death and rejuvenation, so he has long been indifferent to life and death.

But when Chang Xiaoqing went out to hunt, he still couldn't help showing a melancholy expression... He was not afraid of death, but he was still worried about what Chang Xiaoqing would do after his death.

You must know that Lin Mao was completely dismissive of such a resurrection from the dead, but Chang Xiaoqing seemed to be on the contrary, treating Lin Mao more and more like the thorn in his heart.

One more thing... Lin Mao always felt that since the two reunited, there was something wrong in Chang Xiaoqing's expression.

I am afraid that Lin Mao died, and then the "corpse" was accidentally hit and taken away by Qiao Muyun. After all, Chang Xiaoqing left a demon in his heart. After Lin Mao fell ill, the crazy look in Chang Xiaoqing's eyes disappeared. thicker.Sometimes, even Lin Mao didn't dare to look into Chang Xiaoqing's eyes.

In addition, Chang Xiaoqing now has a new hidden worry that makes Lin Mao feel at ease...

"Crack-"

The door of the bamboo building slammed softly, and accompanied by the whistling wind, a man in white all over came in from behind the door like a snow bear.

"Xiaoqing!"

"I'm back..." Chang Xiaoqing stood far away at the door, seeing Lin Mao was about to get up, and hurriedly stopped, "Master, don't move. Don't let the cold rush over you."

His body was still covered with the bitter frost brought by the outside, and he didn't dare to approach Lin Mao, but took off his coat and coir raincoat at the door, revealing only his lean and oiled flesh.Then he circulated his zhenqi on the spot until a wisp of white qi faintly emerged from his forehead, then he walked slowly towards the bed with his upper body naked and a pair of loose moon white silk trousers left.The silk trousers were prepared by Chang Qing for Lin Mao many years ago, and I don’t know where Chang Xiaoqing found them. Fortunately, the fluffy and soft styles were very popular in the south of the Yangtze River, but now Chang Xiaoqing can barely I can wear it, but the trouser legs are unavoidably a little short, revealing Chang Xiaoqing's two extremely strong calves.

Lin Mao squinted his eyes and looked towards Chang Xiaoqing. Finally, he didn't see the extra frostbite and scratches on the child. He was relieved in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help thinking to himself: If such a funny dress is not good enough On other people, I'm afraid it's funny, but now my Xiaoqing still looks stern and stern when she wears it like this.

On the one hand, Lin Mao felt that although the apprentice he brought up was a bit gloomy, he was indeed handsome and tough, and on the other hand, he began to faintly worry that Chang Xiaoqing's hostility was so heavy, it was really a blessing.

"How is Master's health today?"

That side of Lin Mao was still thinking wildly, this side of Chang Xiaoqing came to Lin Mao's side, and asked softly while holding his hand.

Because the room was very dark, Chang Xiaoqing seemed to want to see Lin Mao's face clearly, so she leaned her face very close, and when she spoke, a little heat was directed at Lin Mao's ear. Out of intimacy.

After all, Chang Xiaoqing was a young man with great firepower. Lin Mao felt that this person was like a small stove when he came close to him so intimately. It was so hot that it almost warmed his frozen body.Lin Mao only felt a heat in his ears, he stepped back unconsciously, and forced a smile: "It's much better today."

But he didn't mention the hemoptysis before.

When Chang Xiaoqing heard Lin Mao's answer, his expression was still a little worried.

"I saw that your complexion is worse than before I went out..."

While talking, Chang Xiaoqing grabbed a folded moon gown from the bedside and put it on himself, then he casually pulled the hair belt, so that white hair was so wet that it hung on his back.Looking at this scene, Lin Mao's eyelids twitched, and quickly pulled off an old clothes, and brought Chang Xiaoqing to his side, then put the old clothes on Chang Xiaoqing's hair, sucking the melted snow water Dry.

"Why are you so careless? How many times have I told you to dust off the snow from your hair before going home, otherwise the heat will make your hair wet when you enter the door..."

Even though his appearance has become like a delicate boy now, Lin Mao is also an elderly person in his bones, and it is inevitable that he can't stop talking, which can be said to be long-winded.But Chang Xiaoqing didn't look impatient at all, but sat cross-legged on the bed paper, gently leaning on Lin Mao's still thin shoulders.Such a big man, at this moment, was motionless like a docile white-haired big dog, with his head slightly raised, staring at his master's pale face obsessively.

That is a beautiful appearance that ordinary people can't have, the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are so beautiful that they are almost gorgeous - but in Chang Xiaoqing's eyes, Lin Mao's current fairy-like appearance is not the same as his terrible poisonous appearance back then. The appearance gradually overlapped.

Listening to Lin Mao's gentle rambling, that stern, knife-sharpened face was gradually stained with a relaxed and contented expression.

Only occasionally when Lin Mao helped him brush up the broken hair on the side of his head, his cold fingertips touched the small piece of skin behind Chang Xiaoqing's ear, which made the white-haired man's ears turn red unconsciously - but after all, the light was not good , Chang Xiaoqing rarely showed this bit of embarrassment, but Lin Mao couldn't detect it at all.

"...don't take care of your body just because of your high martial arts. You won't know how serious you are until you get old and sick." Lin Mao was still nagging in Chang Xiaoqing's ear, "Besides, you haven't lost your soul yet. It's getting better, and I have a headache again, how can I still be as foolish as before."

Before Lin Mao finished speaking, he felt Chang Xiaoqing's body stiffen slightly beside him.

(Oops!)

Lin Mao said inwardly that he was not good, and gave himself a soft mouth in his heart.

It turned out that although Chang Xiaoqing had forgotten what happened the night Wangyou Valley was burned, Lin Mao couldn't give up, and in the next few days he would often lure Chang Xiaoqing to recall what happened on that day. However, Chang Xiaoqing fell into a problem because of this, but whenever he tried to forcefully think about what happened that night, he would have a splitting headache, sweat profusely all over his body, his upper and lower muscles would convulse, his veins would burst out, and he would faintly feel obsessed.

Seeing Chang Xiaoqing's appearance, Lin Mao said it was frightened if it was light, and frightened if it was serious. Since then, he has never forced Chang Xiaoqing, but Chang Xiaoqing was naturally stubborn, and then he broke out several times. It caused Lin Mao to vomit blood directly in front of him and passed out before he stopped.

So far, the burning of Wangyou Valley and the disappearance of Jin Lingzi Ji Wuming has been pressed into Lin Mao's heart, but Chang Xiaoqing has been with him for many years, and naturally knows that Lin Mao does not say anything on the surface, but in fact he is very anxious .Occasionally, he was still a little stiff when he mentioned this incident inadvertently.

"I made you worry."

Chang Xiaoqing said hoarsely.

Lin Mao sighed: "It's not your fault... Speaking of it, I still dragged you down. Now Yufeng Mountain has been closed?" Lin Mao said in order to change the subject.

Chang Xiaoqing nodded: "It has been completely sealed. I thought that there should be a small road in the hot spring area. I can take you down when you are in good health, Master. But I went to see it today. This year's weather is very cold. Very soon, the trail has been covered with snow."
