Chapter 86
As soon as the golden light of the morning sun shone on the top of the snow mountain the next day, Ayouduo couldn't wait to come outside the tent where Xiao Ruo Xiaoxun was resting.

"Azan! Sister! Are you up yet?"

She and her mother were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night last night, and her mother woke up as soon as the sky was whitened in the morning, busy with offerings for worship.

Smoked dried yak meat, newly made milk skin and cheese this year, finely pinched torma, general Gu’s favorite barley wine, and freshly brewed buttered tea.

The back basket was full.

Xiaoxun was woken up by Ayouduo's voice. He thought that he would be sleepless all night when he found out about his life experience yesterday, but unexpectedly, he slept more deeply than ever.

He turned over and got up, changed his clothes and walked out of the room, only to find that Xiaoruo was already in the middle of the tent, and she and Ayouduo were counting the supplies they needed today.

"Azan, this is the buttered tea that Grandma just cooked!" Ayouduo blushed and handed over a bowl of hot buttered tea.

After Xiaoxun took it, he tilted his head to look at Xiaoruo, and found that Xiaoruo was also looking at him with a smile.

"I've drunk it, you can drink it, and we'll go worship your parents together after drinking it."

Without him needing to speak, Xiaoruo knew all the implications of his actions.

Hearing Xiaoruo said that he had drunk it, he held the bowl and drank it.

The freshly brewed butter tea is wafting with curling heat, and a bowl of it makes people feel that they have endless energy.

After the bowls that had been drunk were washed in the hot water pot on the stove, the three of them walked out of the tent.

The patriarch Gula was already waiting for them outside with two young people. Ayouduo's mother was not in good health, so the patriarch advised her to rest at home, and he would take Xiaoxun and the others to worship.

The tomb is at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Qingtangla Mountain. According to Gula, this is the place where the sun first shines every day.

Wang Shan ran to death, and the group traveled for an hour before arriving at their destination.

There are two small tombs in front of you, and there are two stone tablets in front of them, on which are written "the tomb of General Gu Jingzhong, the benefactor" and "the tomb of Gu Jingzhong, wife of Gu Jingzhong."

Xiao Xun knelt in front of the tomb for a long time unable to move. Although he hadn't recalled the past, when he saw the two tombs, his heart was filled with boundless sadness.

The two chaduo youths who accompanied them went to clear the weeds near the tomb after kneeling and worshiping. Gula and Xiaoxun knelt in front of the tomb together, looking at the two tombstones he had erected with his own hands. The wine was poured on the ground.

The wine quickly seeped into the soil, as if someone was gulping it down.

With tears in his eyes, Gula said: "Grandfather, I finally brought Azan to see you! Don't worry, our Chaduo is his home, and we will take good care of him for you in the future!"

After he finished speaking, he poured three glasses of wine in a row, and the wine still seeped into the ground quickly, and the soil exuded a strong aroma of wine.

Seeing Xiaoxun's forehead resting on the ground and not getting up for a long time, Xiaoruo's eyes were hot.

She remembered that when she had just lost her parents in her previous life, she was also leaning on her parents' tombstone, feeling nothingness in her heart, as if the last connection between herself and this world had been cut off, and from then on there was only a way to go, no way to come.

She solemnly kowtowed three times to Xiaoxun's parents, and said silently in her heart: "Don't worry, uncles and aunts, Axun still has me, I won't let him be alone."

Small white hands stroked Xiaoxun's spine, and the familiar fragrance around him brought back Xiaoxun's consciousness.

In a daze, he felt that he was almost drowned by the sea of ​​pain just now, and it was Xiaoruo's hand that pulled him out of the sea of ​​pain.

"Ruo Ruo..." He murmured, holding that tender little hand involuntarily, and placed it on top of his head.

Touch him, as always, on the top of his head.Warmly, slowly, with regular frequency, reassure him.

Although Xiaoruo was a little shy doing the puppy petting the head in front of other people's parents' graves, she still did what Xiaoxun wanted.

He didn't care about the stunned expressions of Gula and Ayouduo on the side.

After paying homage to Xiaoxun's parents, Gula said that he would go back to the tribe to deal with affairs, and then the two young men would take them up the mountain to dig snow silkworms.

On the Qingtangla Mountain at an altitude of more than 5000 meters, the snow has melted at this time, and the soft soil and the moist grass covering it are exposed on the hillside.

The Cordyceps sinensis they were looking for is growing here.

The hillside is very steep, and the slope in some places even reaches a [-]-degree angle. To find the Cordyceps hidden under the soil and moss, they can only look for them lying on their stomachs, with their faces almost touching the ground.

Xiaoxun and Xiaoruo imitated the movements of the young people and probed the ground inch by inch, but after spending nearly half an hour, they did not see the shadow of Cordyceps sinensis.

On the contrary, Ayouduo has already dug the fourth root.

"I have it! Azan! Come and see!" she shouted excitedly.

Xiaoruo raised her head when she heard the sound, turned over and changed to lying down, and sighed towards the sky.

In the two lifetimes combined, it was also the first time for her to dig Cordyceps by herself.

I thought it was just a matter of picking a hoe, but I didn't know it would be so difficult. Captain Xiao hasn't felt such a strong sense of frustration for a long time.

"Ruo Ruo, come, I'll help you." Xiao Xun stretched out his hand to her, signaling to go to A Youduo's place to dig together.

Xiaoruo pursed her lips helplessly and put her little grass-stained hand into the big one with well-defined knuckles.

Okay, if you can't find it yourself, it's not bad to see others dig it.

After comforting themselves with the spirit of Ah Q, Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun walked towards A Youduo carefully, holding each other.

The weather on the top of the plateau is unpredictable. It was sunny just now, but suddenly there was a blizzard.

The icy cold wind was mixed with countless snow particles, hitting people's bodies and faces like knives were cutting.

The experienced young Chaduo immediately shouted to the two of them: "Sit down, bow your head and turn your back to the wind and snow!"

The sudden blizzard caught them off guard, and when Xiaoruo turned around, her feet slipped and she was about to fall.

Falling down on this nearly seventy-degree slope is not a joke. Xiaoxun's eyes were always on Xiaoruo, seeing her figure sway, he immediately opened his arms and embraced her small body in his arms.

The inertia of Xiaoruo's slipping brought Xiaoxun who was holding her tightly to the ground, and the two of them fell to the ground together, and rolled down the slope amidst Ayouduo's screams.

During the fall, Xiaoruo's face was buried on Xiaoxun's chest. She couldn't see the surrounding environment, so she could only rely on her hands that were still able to move to keep grabbing the moss and vegetation under her body, hoping to catch some resistance and stop it. Continue to roll down.

After rolling for nearly ten meters, the two finally stopped the falling trend and stopped on the hillside.

Ayouduo's shout came from above: "Azan! Azan, are you okay! Sister! Are you all right!"

The visibility in the blizzard was very low, and Ayouduo's shouts were cut intermittently by the wind.

Xiaoruo wanted to respond to her, but she was hugged tightly by Xiaoxun's hands, unable to raise her head from his chest at all.

"Axun! Let me go, Axun! It's okay!"

She tried to make Xiaoxun let go, but Xiaoxun didn't respond.

Panicked, Xiaoruo struggled hard.

Finally, the two arms that imprisoned her were loosened, and the whistling sound of the blizzard filled her ears again.
