Snow Chihiro

==================

That night she had that dream again.

Still stumbling footsteps, still a gentle voice, still a blurred face.She babbled and rushed over, warm, and yelled "Daddy" in her mouth.Next to Dad stood an equally gentle woman who treated her very well even though she never called her mother.She fell asleep in her father's warm embrace, and when she woke up, it was a woman who was clinging to her. Xue Qianxun's heart was cold, and she tried her best to break free from that person, but that little man was in the woman's arms. Zhong rubbed affectionately.

What was she calling her for?Xue Qianxun was still thinking in panic, but her mouth opened uncontrollably, "Auntie." That face was still blurred, but it was still as gentle as could be imagined.then...then...

a big fire.

The fire was so intense that it reflected the whole sky red, as if it could reach the moon.Xue Qianxun found herself in the middle of the fire, and her skin was burning with pain from the scorching flames. She wanted to escape, but suddenly she saw a familiar figure and ran over, "Daddy! Daddy! "The man stopped when he heard the sound, bent down to hug her, but his hands tightly bound her waist, and dragged her out.Those hands were slender, with unusually long fingers, and they were icy cold. She suddenly turned her head and looked at them fiercely, but suddenly found that the person was born like herself.She was completely stunned, but that body was still wrestling, struggling, and crying. Although the hot flame was extinguished, it seemed to be burning into her heart. It was so hot that she couldn't help but exhale in pain.

But what came out was just a muffled groan, she opened her eyes suddenly, and regained control of her body, the room was dark, only a little light came in through the window, through which she could see Dongfang Li who was sitting up with a pair of clear and bright eyes. He stared at her with wide eyes, and held her hand with a cool and cool hand, which was powerful without using force, which made people feel at ease.Xue Qianxun closed her eyes quickly, trying to hide the sourness and wetness at that moment.Dongfang Li didn't ask any questions, but just lowered his head and kissed her eyes, lay down again, stretched out his arms silently, and took her into his arms.

After an unknown amount of time, the person in her arms began to tremble slightly, and after an unknown amount of time, she raised her head from her arms again. The light in the room was not very good, but Dongfang Li could clearly see her messy hair biting her lips. appearance.

"I had a dream." Xue Qianxun said, "I dreamed of a little girl." She suddenly didn't know how to describe it, and she bit her lip again in a daze.Dongfang Li stretched out his hand to remove the strand of hair she accidentally bit into her mouth, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

There are always some people, everything she said seems to be the will of heaven, no matter how gentle the tone is, you must obey it.

She said don't be afraid, you really won't be afraid.

--------------------------------------------------

"I want to go with the leader."

"The battle is tight, and the opponent is extraordinary. You don't have martial arts now, so it's too dangerous." Dongfang Li said with rare earnestness.Unexpectedly, Master Wu, who thought it would be difficult to dismiss, sighed and confessed just to feel her pulse. He didn't say much when he left this morning, but just advised her two to keep their promises and do more good deeds.She never thought that Xue Qianxun, who was always well-behaved and obedient, became disobedient today.

"Does the leader not have the confidence to protect Chihiro?"

"..." Dongfang Li was suffocated, "Of course I have the confidence to protect you, but what if I'm not around when I go out."

Xue Qianxun glanced at Wei Ba who was silent beside him, and said in disbelief, "Then the leader will always keep me with me?"

"I always want to take people out, maybe I have to run all night, how can your body be able to bear it?" Dongfang Li couldn't bear to put on a straight face, and continued to persuade.

"Does the leader not have the confidence to take good care of Chihiro?"

"..." Dongfang Li couldn't help but look at Weiba next to him, seeing the woman looking down at the tip of his shoe without saying a word, he felt a little relieved, for some reason this Xue Qianxun was clearly obedient, today In front of outsiders, he froze with himself.Dongfang Li had a headache, and said again: "Of course I have confidence. But..." She couldn't think of any reason for a while, Xue Qianxun smiled triumphantly when she saw this, and glanced at Weiba again.

Dongfang Li, who laughed, was annoyed in her heart, wondering how could outsiders see the joke, and said coldly: "Anyway, you can recuperate at Doctor Ping's place. Don't go!"

Xue Qianxun's smile froze all of a sudden, and her face turned pale again. Dongfang Li's heart was shaken by seeing it, and she held it back.

"Qianxun knows." Xue Qianxun lowered his head and said softly, "I hope the leader will come back soon."

At this time, Dongfang Li began to hate himself a little bit again, why did he speak in such a strong tone again, it was so easy to see her getting happier and no longer so cautious, and now all previous efforts have been wasted.But the matter has reached this point and it cannot be taken back, so he could only say softly: "Don't worry, I will come back immediately after this matter is over." Xue Qianxun lowered her head and let her rub her hair, and hummed softly.

Dongfang Li sighed and said: "Miss Wei, please ask someone to prepare the horse."

At the end of the eighth day, Xue Qianxun got up and left the bag for her. Dongfang Li didn't bring many things, only a small bag was packed and placed on the table.Xue Qianxun wiped her sword again, and said in a soft voice: "It's dangerous to go here, even though the leader is amazing, you must take care of yourself."

Dongfang Li's heart warmed slightly, and he couldn't help but said: "Qianxun, I..."

"I see."

Dongfang Li felt relieved, and was about to say a few words of comfort when she heard Xue Qianxun say, "It's just the leader, did you ever say that you would stay by Qianxun's side for the rest of your life?" She said softly Yes, not a question, but a blank search for an answer.It seemed that she couldn't tell whether she was in a dream when she heard that sentence, and it seemed that she was not sure whether she could only hear this sentence in a dream.

Dongfang Li was silent for a while, got up and went out without saying a word.Xue Qianxun stood there a little disappointed, failed?

Just when she was still doubting herself, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Miss Wei, please, change the carriage."

The people in the room smiled smugly upon hearing the sound, well, it was a success.Repeated battles and victories, tried and tested.

Weiba watched Dongfang Li lift the curtain and get into the carriage, bent over and touched the mat with his hands, and heard her say to the steward of Taixu Palace: "The mat needs to be two layers thicker, and the inside should be covered with blankets, and the brazier should be added again. One, bring some hot water."

Hearing the words, the steward cupped his hands, "This subordinate asked someone to do it immediately." After saying that, he hurried away, but Wei Ba stared at Dongfang Li's face in a daze.Dongfang Li looked at her suspiciously, "Miss Wei, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Wei Ba smiled, "When I met the leader for the first time, I felt that the leader was cold and aloof, but after getting in touch with him, I felt that the leader is affectionate and righteous, but I never thought that the leader can still be so gentle and delicate." Never thought , I dare not think about it, and I am not willing to think about it.

Dongfang Li smiled when he heard the words, and made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Wei was joking, Qianxun has just recovered from a serious injury, and she can't stand the bumps at all, I have to be more careful."

Wei Ba was half a step behind her, looked at her and asked, "It's dangerous to go here. Why did you take her to take risks since you can't stand the bumps?" As she spoke, she remembered that before she came to Luoyang, she had asked Dongfang Xi, "Xue Qian is so dangerous." Xun is seriously injured, will he stay in Luoyang?"

Dongfang Xi said firmly: "No, she will definitely go."

Wei Ba asked worriedly again: "What if the eldest son doesn't allow her to go?"

Dongfang Xi smiled and said: "If she wants to go, there must be a way for the senior brother to take her. Besides, if she wants to go, the senior brother will definitely take her. But Weiba, why do you have so many questions today?"

Seeing that Dongfang Li didn't answer at the end of the day, I thought that I had too many questions today, and it was always difficult to keep silent about her.

Dongfang Li didn't answer the question directly, but picked up the previous conversation, and continued: "If you like someone, everything about her will be refined. Miss Wei can remember this sentence, if someone treats you not carefully in the future, Most of them don't love you enough." She said casually, but she was thinking about the answer to Wei Ba's question.

Probably, although it can't stand the bumps, it can't stand the separation even more.

The efficiency of Taixu Palace has always been very high, within half an hour, the new equipment has been placed on the carriage.Dongfang Li led Xue Qianxun out, pushed her slightly to the carriage, and followed her.

"Let's meet the Tong You Envoys first, and we'll be on the way." Xue Qianxun suggested.Although Taixu Gong has been in contact with the two of them for a long time, but now that she has almost lost all her martial arts skills, she still feels a little uneasy, and she will be more confident if she joins her own people.

Dongfang Li nodded and said, "Okay. Don't think too much, just rest."

Xue Qianxun said with a smile: "I always let me rest, but now I feel that I have to sleep for five or six hours every day, and I can't stretch my muscles and bones."

"The length of life lies in stillness. Have you ever heard that the giant tortoise in the South China Sea moves once every ten years, and it lasts longer than ten thousand years."

Xue Qianxun curled her lips and said: "Did the leader compare me to a tortoise? Even if I really sleep more and live longer, I don't want to. The leader only sleeps for two hours a day, what am I doing with so much sleep?" She He said again: "If it is true that one day I will die, the leader will let me die first."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dongfang Li frowned.

Xue Qianxun insisted in a rare way: "Master, don't think I'm talking about love. If there is anything I can't forgive you for, this is the only one." She felt that she was sorry for thinking this way, because Those who witness death and departure are often more distressed than those involved.Don't say that there may be endless years in the future, even if you die for love in the next moment, it still can't alleviate the pain.

Dongfang Li couldn't tell what he was feeling, and was about to speak when Wei Ba, who had been sitting silently beside him, stood up, and said somewhat unnaturally: "It's too stuffy in the carriage, I'll go out to get some air."

Xue Qianxun pointed her mouth at Dongfang Li Nu, ignoring him.

Not cold.Before I thought about it, they were an excellent couple, so whether they were talking about love or telling the truth, they were all moving.But it was too stuffy in the carriage, so I came out by myself.Wei Ba didn't sit next to the coachman on the shaft, and jumped onto the roof lightly. Her lightness skill was quite beautiful, and she only made a slight mark on it. She sat sideways and looked out blankly.This look saw a person.

The man's footsteps were unhurried, as if walking casually, but the speed was surprisingly fast, keeping an almost fixed distance from the carriage. He was very old, and he lived for an unknown number of days. He was dressed in an old monk's robe. It's pale, but the whole person is clean, unobtrusive in this icy and snowy world.

She had seen that person before, in Luoyang, with Dongfang Lixue Qianxun and the others.Her pupils shrank and disappeared.
