Yitianxia, ​​Mother of Rebirth

Zhuang Yanqiu was wrapped in the thin clothes, braved the oncoming blizzard, and walked with difficulty on the ice field with shallow and deep feet.

This place is indeed secluded and peaceful, with no one around, but...there are ice fields and icebergs everywhere, and you can't even see any plants, so it's too secluded.What's more, the temperature here is extremely low, the climate is harsh, and there are constant cold winds and snowstorms. Zhuang Yanqiu just came out of the warm spring-like 'Qingyun Pavilion' wearing very thin clothes. It is even more difficult to adapt to the current environment.

Cuishi hung on the waist of the master, and the big black eyes watched the master walking so hard in the snow, and squeezed his eyes in embarrassment.

"It's okay... Let's walk forward, maybe we will see the village?" Zhuang Yanqiu comforted Cuishi.

It was not easy for Cuishi to bring him out of 'Qingyun Pavilion' and 'Tianyang City' safe and sound, how could he blame it?

Fortunately, Zhuang Yanqiu's cultivation has reached the 'Golden Core Stage', and his body's resistance is stronger than before, otherwise, he would never dare to walk in this environment.

After walking for about an hour, the blizzard and cold wind stopped raging, and Zhuang Yanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He climbed up a snow slope in one breath and looked around.

Some villages and a small city with a faint outline appeared far below the snow slope. Green smoke hovered over those villages, and there were many snowbirds flying in the sky.

"There's a village!" Zhuang Yanqiu said to Cuishi and the unborn babies.

Now he walks with strength.In order to preserve his energy before, he didn't dare to fly under the control of his energy. Now that he saw the crowds, he naturally didn't have to hesitate any longer. With no snowstorm blocking him, he breathed a sigh of relief, flew out of the air and jumped a long distance.

Just as the sun was thinly rising into the sky from beyond the mountain, he landed on the edge of one of the villages.

Zhuang Yanqiu went to one of the houses that seemed to have a good family background, mustered up her courage, and knocked on the door.

It was an old lady who opened the door. After seeing Zhuang Yanqiu, the old man didn't ask anything, so she let the door open and said in a low voice, "Come in!"

The flesh on Zhuang Yanqiu's body was frozen stiff, and she didn't care about doubting anything at the moment, so she couldn't wait to enter his house.

Hot water, hot soup, hot rice and a burning brazier brought Zhuang Yanqiu back to life.

The old woman brought some large and shabby cotton coats to him, and smiled kindly: "These are the clothes my son used to wear. If you don't mind wearing them, you can wear them to withstand the wind and cold."

Zhuang Yanqiu put down the hot soup in her hand, took the thick cotton coat, and nodded gratefully, "Thank you grandma."

"The hot water is ready, I'll bring it to your room for you to wash and change. After washing, sleep well. Don't be afraid of big things. When you arrive in our village, you can relax."

"Old man, I see a city ahead, what is it?"

"Oh! That's 'Xudongcheng'. You look at it very well, but it takes two hours to walk there. You can't go to that place. Be obedient and eat first!"

Zhuang Yanqiu let out an "ah", obediently picked up the unfinished steamed buns and put them into her mouth mouthful.

"Xudong City", he actually ran to the extremely cold place in the northeast, which is the coldest place in "Taiyin City". 'Xudongcheng' is a small frontier city. It is said that half of it is hidden in the 'Sea of ​​Illusion' and the other half is on the mainland. There is only one month of the year when there is no snow, and the rest of the time is ice and snow. It is an important military fortress.

What made Zhuang Yanqiu even more strange was that when he entered Grandma Xue's house, the other party didn't ask him about his identity or origin, maybe he forgot or there were other reasons.

Zhuang Yanqiu quickly wiped her numb skin with hot water, and finally felt comfortable after changing into the warm cotton coat.

He consciously carried the basin and the dirty clothes out of the house.Grandma Xue was sitting by the stove in the kitchen, mending clothes, when she saw him put down the basket in his hand, and walked out slowly, "Baby, feel comfortable!"

Zhuang Yanqiu nodded again and again, "Thank you grandma."

"You're welcome!" Grandma Xue waved her hand, "Go to bed! I'll call you when dinner is ready."

"Grandma, I..." Zhuang Yanqiu wanted to take the initiative to introduce herself, but that Grandma Xue interrupted him, "There is no need to say anything more. You can rest assured that you can live with me. Although there are only some old things left in our village, we can't help it." Don't be afraid of anything. Go to sleep!"

Zhuang Yanqiu was pushed into that warm house by Grandma Xue.He stood by the wide wooden bed for a while, still feeling sorry for him, but the old man obviously didn't want to know his origin, so he couldn't chase after him and force him to talk about it.

Zhuang Yanqiu warmed her hands and feet by the brazier, got into the fur quilt on the bed, lay down on her side, and stared quietly with her eyes open for a while.

After a while he heard a knock on the door.Worried Zhuang Yanqiu got up and hid by the small window, looking out through the tiny crack.

I saw several old people coming, some of them were carrying meat, some were carrying vegetables, some were holding animal skins, and some were holding two heavy leather boots, as if they were coming to deliver things. .

Zhuang Yanqiu listened carefully to what they said.

"Grandma Xue, settle down for that young man. This is the roe deer meat that my family prepares for the Chinese New Year. You clean it up and stew it for that young man."

"This is a dish from my family. It's refreshing for him."

"There is still a lot of skin that was tanned in Dahe before my family. This is a piece of wolf fur. Let's make a fur robe for the younger generation."

"I don't have many things next to my house, only the snow boots left by my grandson, let him don't dislike them, just wear them."

Zhuang Yanqiu blinked her eyelids incomprehensibly.The things these uncles and aunts gave were for him?Why?

"Come on! I'll thank you for that kid first. He's a good kid, but it's a pity that he suffered this kind of crime at a young age. Let us old men help if we can."

"Understood. When the young man entered the village, only the people in our village saw it. We have already explained everything. Everyone should pretend that they don't know. Grandma Xue, tell the young man not to go out for a few days."

"Those goddamn skeletons... who want to harm or not harm those of us who want to go to the ground, they specifically harm young and strong girls and boys... those old men who cultivate immortals in the city are blind... they have to kill us These civilians have been harmed before they know how to act."

"Grandma Huwa, don't talk about it." Grandma Xue comforted the woman who made the last accusation, "Who made us common people, and she is a fairy. Alright! Don't talk about it, let's all go back!"

A series of moans and sighs sounded in the yard, and after a while, those old people who came to deliver things left with great sorrow.

Zhuang Yanqiu walked back to the bed, got into the quilt again, and was digesting the words just heard in her mind.

There should be no young adults in this village, only these old people survived.Moreover, there should be evil cultivators who hunt and kill civilians for cultivation here. The strength of this evil cultivator should not be weak, so that the nearby orthodox cultivators can't stand him.

Thinking about this young man who broke into other people's village covered in wind and snow, he was regarded by the kind old man as escaped from Xiexiu's hands. They were not afraid of being implicated and took him in, more because they had already put life and death aside. Don't worry about it.

After Zhuang Yanqiu fell asleep in a daze, she had a dream.I dreamed of Yin Jiuhui, and when that guy went back, he couldn't find him and was furious, turned his face on the old pavilion master, and made a mess of 'Qingyun Pavilion' and 'Tianyang City'.

Zhuang Yanqiu rested for two hours in this unreliable dream, and woke up again because she smelled the aroma of broth.He opened his eyelids and saw that Grandma Xue brought a bowl full of meat to his bedside, "Baby, you are awake. Come and eat something when you wake up. These are all sent by the folks in the village." .”

Zhuang Yanqiu sat up and took the bowl of meat with both hands, feeling extremely moved, "Grandma, you eat! I'm not hungry."

"I'm old, I can't chew this meat, just drink some soup. You eat! Your body will recover quickly when you are full." Grandma Xue looked at Zhuang Yanqiu with a smile, and she really wanted to see him take the meat with her own eyes. It means to eat all.

The kindness was hard to give up, so Zhuang Yanqiu picked up the chopsticks and ate piece by piece.The stewed roe deer meat was soft and rotten, and spices were added to remove the fishy smell. He ate it very comfortably, and he ate half a bowl in a short time.

"Hehehe..." Grandma Xue saw how delicious he was eating, and laughed from ear to ear.

Zhuang Yanqiu raised her head and glanced at the old man, feeling a warm current in her heart.He had never met such selfless and kind people as these old people.For a stranger like him, these old people can take him in, take care of him and protect him. This kind of love and heart is beyond the reach of most people in the world.

Zhuang Yanqiu took a piece of meat and brought it to Grandma Xue's mouth, "You eat too."

Grandma Xue was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled more heartily. She carefully picked up the piece of meat, and slowly ate it bit by bit with her loose teeth and gums.

"Grandma, actually I..." Zhuang Yanqiu once again wanted to explain her identity to Grandma Xue.

"I know." The smile lines on Grandma Xue's face seemed to be full of wisdom, "I know you didn't escape from 'Xueling Mountain'... You are not those children who were taken away by monsters."

Zhuang Yanqiu was stunned. Since the old lady knew about it, why didn't she tell other villagers?

"Most of our children were harmed by the monsters on the 'Xueling Mountain', and the old people left behind hated those monsters. When they saw you, it was like seeing their own sons and grandchildren. , I don't want to disappoint them. You are alive, for us old guys, it is equivalent to seeing hope, do you understand?" Grandma Xue said earnestly.

It took Zhuang Yanqiu a while to nod her head to express that she understood.Well, for the sake of those old people, he is willing to be this hope.
