Picture her prosperous face

The heavy snow fell continuously, and the dry firewood in the Orion's hut was finally gradually burned out.

Qiao Yue and Mrs. Qiao never imagined that they were blocked by heavy snow on the mountain, waiting for people from the house to search for them, but they didn't see anyone from dawn until dark.In the evening, everyone was already hungry, and those who had no dry food rummaged through the hut, but only found an old clay pot.The servant girl came back with some snow and put it on the fire to boil, which was nothing more than a pot of hot water.

Then when the cold night came and the firewood was almost exhausted, the people in the hut who were leaning on the fire to keep warm finally panicked.As a last resort, a few servants went out in the snow, and they only collected some wet wood covered with snow nearby, and put it by the fire to dry before they can be used again.

The wind and snow were blowing outside the hut, and the hut was lit with fire, and everyone guarded the fire in silence.

Qiao Yue leaned on her mother and didn't complain about anything, but there was no doubt that she felt a little bit hard at the moment - she was born rich and loved, and Miss Qiao had lived for 16 years, and this was the first time she experienced the feeling of being hungry.Not to mention the bleak coldness in the mountains, even if you are wrapped in fox fur and warmed by a fire, you can still feel the chill as the night deepens.

Another gust of wind and snow blew outside, and the dilapidated hut had air leaks everywhere, and a gust of cold wind squeezed into the room was blowing directly at the back of Qiao Yue's neck, making her shiver immediately.

Mrs. Qiao, who was leaning against Qiao Yue, noticed it immediately, so she reached out to touch her and asked, "Is Ah Yue cold?"

Qiao Yue actually felt pretty good. Compared to the servant girls who only wore cotton jackets, both she and Mrs. Qiao still had at least a thick fur coat.But before she could speak, she realized that Mrs. Qiao's hand touching her was hot!

In such a cold environment, even if you are on fire, you will not feel hot, let alone burn your hands.

Qiao Yue was shocked at the time, grabbed her mother's hand and sat up straight, anxiously said: "Mother, why are your hands so hot, but you have a fever after catching a cold?!" While speaking, she even reached out to touch Mrs. Qiao's forehead.

Mrs. Qiao dodged for a while, Qiao Yue didn't touch it for a while, but she sat up straight and saw the abnormal blush on the other's face.Even so, Mrs. Qiao still insisted: "Perhaps it's because I've been roasting in front of the fire for a long time, so my hands are a little hot. It's okay, it will cool down in a while, and don't worry about my mother being burned by the fire."

Qiao Yue stopped asking her, and immediately stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and took a look outside.

The night wind, wrapped in cold snow, rushed through the door, blowing the fire and flickering it.Shocked by the sudden intrusion of the cold wind, everyone in the room who had been drowsy was shocked, and those who had already fallen asleep by the fire were also woken up by the cold.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao stood up quickly, but her body swayed slightly, and she was supported by the maid beside her before she said, "Ah Yue, what are you doing? It's very cold outside, so close the door quickly."

Looking at the dark night and the white snow outside, Qiao Yue couldn't help but frown.But looking back, she said with a firm face: "Aniang, let's go down the mountain." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked outside: "Chaoyang Mountain is too big, and there are wind and snow blocking the road. People down the mountain want to find it." It’s not easy. Now that it’s dark, they can’t even find them. If we have to wait, we may not be able to wait for people to come tomorrow.”

Mrs. Qiao wanted her to stop messing around, but she couldn't help but fell silent after listening to it - she knew her own situation, her body was not as good as a young man's when she got older, and she didn't know what gust of wind was blowing before, and she felt dizzy half an hour ago sinking.When she developed a fever later, she knew better. She might be able to wait tomorrow morning, but if it drags on, her condition will definitely get worse.

She didn't want to easily ruin her own life for a sprig of wintersweet that her husband casually picked up!

But is it really good to go down the mountain in the snow in the middle of the night?

Mrs. Qiao hesitated for a moment, but shook her head and refused: "It's dark outside, and we are not used to walking on the mountain road, so how can we go down the mountain? Why don't we go down the mountain tomorrow morning? When it dawns, we will go down the mountain no matter whether the snow stops or not." go."

If Mrs. Qiao didn't catch a cold and fever, Qiao Yue had planned in this way, but now she didn't think she could wait any longer.So she turned her head to look at the snow outside, then looked up at the dilapidated roof of the Orion's hut, and suddenly said: "Mother, do you know how thick the snow outside is?" Without waiting for Mrs. Qiao's answer, she said : "Almost submerged the calf. The snow is also very heavy."

Everyone listened to her, but they didn't react at first. Thinking of Qiao Yue's action of looking at the roof before, they also understood what she meant--snow disasters have never been seen or heard before, not to mention that the capital is not without poor people. In any year, you can hear stories of several dilapidated houses being crushed by snow.

I don't want to feel it yet, but when I think of this and look at the snow outside, everyone feels a little bit worried.

In fact, it is not impossible to have someone sweep the snow off the roof. At least the hut looks dilapidated, but it doesn't seem to be about to collapse.However, seeing Qiao Yue's resolute appearance, everyone knew that she had made up her mind - in fact, except Mrs. Qiao, the servants had no choice.They had to listen to their master, and they dared not persuade Mrs. Qiao not to cherish her body and delay her illness here.

There was a moment of silence in the cabin, and Mrs. Qiao still hesitated.Seeing this, Qiao Yue turned back, firmly supported her mother's arm, and then held her hot hand: "Mother, you are sick, you can't drag it on any longer."

****************************************************************************

Ji Chang was born pale and thin, and looked sickly, and she would suffer from illness from time to time, making people think that she was weak and weak, unable to bear the inheritance of Marquis of Wu'an, and it was not a sign of longevity.

However, she went out to the city to find someone tonight, and promised Qiao Shangshu that she would not hold back, and she did not fall behind after running through the snow all the way.

It takes more than half an hour to walk normally, and it is naturally slower to walk on snow and ice.But sergeants all pay attention to the word "fast" when marching, so even without horses, they can run faster than ordinary people with their two legs.

Less than half an hour after leaving the city, the Hou's family arrived at the foot of Chaoyang Mountain.

On a snowy day, Chang Qing was sweating profusely, taking a breath, and there was a large white mist in front of him.There was nothing he was not used to. Instead, he had the illusion of returning to northern Xinjiang. While wiping his sweat, he looked at the dark Chaoyang Mountain and said, "My lord, we didn't meet anyone on the road. Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao must still be here." Chaoyang Mountain. Should we look around first, or go straight up the mountain?"

Because of Ji Chang's previous exercise, his pale cheeks were also stained with a thin blush, and he looked much better.But even so, there was no trace of hot sweat on her forehead. Hearing this, she also looked up at the dark mountain, and said, "Go straight up the mountain."

"Eh?" Chang Qing was a little surprised when he heard that, but seeing Ji Chang walking directly, he followed without asking any further questions.

A group of more than ten people went up the mountain holding torches, and the dots of fire were swallowed by the night and the wind and snow. Except for the people holding the torches, they were nowhere to be seen from the bottom of the mountain.Just like the servants of the Qiao family who went up the mountain before, they merged into the mountain forest and never saw each other again.

Chaoyang Mountain is very large, it looks like a continuous mountain range during the day, and it looks even more endless at night.It is not easy to find people on such a mountain, even if the target is the wintersweet forest...

"My lord, the snow is falling so fast that all the traces are covered by the snow." The former elite scout held up a torch and looked around. No trace of the predecessors can be found.Not to mention Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao who went up the mountain a long time ago, even those servants who went up the mountain to look for people later, they couldn't find them.

Under such circumstances, Ji Chang had no choice but to try his luck. She had never even been to Chaoyang Mountain.Closing her eyes, she recalled the approximate location of Lameilin that Qiao Shangshu had told her, and she simply pointed: "Go this way."

There was no objection from the crowd, and the scouts who were best at finding the way led the way, and they all walked towards Ji Chang's pointing.

Everyone knew it was luck, and Chang Qing even felt that his family's son was wasting his efforts, and even Qiao Shangshu, who asked to search for him overnight, was dizzy.So under such circumstances, when they took an hour to climb above the mountainside, but unexpectedly bumped into a group of people descending the mountain, both sides were extremely surprised.The leading scout even put on a defensive posture subconsciously.

After realizing that he was looking for someone, the scout stopped his movements and asked, "Excuse me, are you from the Qiao Mansion?"

From what the scouts thought, they should have bumped into the servants of the Qiao Mansion who were looking for someone.After all, if Mrs. Qiao and others are willing to go down the mountain in the snow, why wait until night?When it snows in the middle of the afternoon, they can take advantage of the thin snow to go down the mountain, and there will be no two prefectures to look for.

Unexpectedly, it was a female voice who answered on the other side: "Who are you?"

Hearing this voice, Ji Chang walked out from the middle of the team, took a torch handed by Chang Qing, and shook it forward: "I am Ji Chang from the Marquis of Wu'an, Qiao Shangshu asked me to come out and look for someone .”

As soon as he said this, he heard a rustling sound from the opposite side, someone was walking quickly on the snow.

It wasn't until seeing Qiao Yue's slightly embarrassed face that Ji Chang was relieved of his worries all day long.She held up a torch to meet Qiao Yue who was walking hard, but she was caught off guard and embraced by the other party. Immediately, the girl's choked voice came from her ear: "You are finally here. I thought I couldn't walk down the mountain tonight." , I’m going to freeze to death on this mountain!”

In fact, Qiao Yue and the others didn't climb too high when they went up the mountain to pick winter plums, but going down the mountain was far more difficult than going up, let alone going down in the dark and snowing.At first, he could support himself with a breath of energy, but later he couldn't see the way ahead and became colder and colder. Naturally, his heart became more and more uncertain.

Ji Chang was suddenly hugged, and his body stiffened involuntarily.But after hearing Qiao Yue's fear, she hugged her back with her free hand and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, I'll take you home."

Qiao Yue was really crying, she wiped her tears on Ji Chang's shoulders: "Ji Chang, my mother is sick, I have to take her back to the city to see a doctor."

Only then did Ji Chang know why they went down the mountain in the snow overnight.Even looking down at Qiao Yue carefully, one could find that her fur coat was covered with snow, obviously she was not just traveling in the snow, she was afraid she might have fallen on the way.

Unable to bear some distress, Ji Chang promised: "Don't worry, leave the rest to me, and I will take you back to the city."

The author has something to say: Qiao Yue (crying): Finally, there is someone I can rely on, let me cry for a while, who have never suffered.

Shizi (distressed): My daughter-in-law is suffering, come and hug her and hold her high~

Everyone (tsk tsk): Are you hugging your daughter-in-law with a torch just to illuminate the dog food more brightly? !
