Pampering the sea

When Xin Yue opened her eyes, her eyes were hurt by the scene of snow. She squinted her eyes and found herself lying on a bed with her face facing the window.

She moved her body inside, Xia Chuan's sleeping face suddenly magnified in front of her, his hands were still wrapped around her waist, the wrists were tied with knots.

Xin Yue quickly stretched out her hand to detect his breath, and when she touched his weak breath, she was suddenly relieved and let out a long breath.

The heart that was holding it was put down immediately, and she began to look at the surrounding situation. This is a very simple inner room of the earthen house. Not far away is a square table with a missing corner, and a cabinet with badly peeled paint. On the front is a wooden staircase level by level.

Xin Yue frowned, looking at this decoration, did he return to China?

Without thinking too much, she raised Xia Chuan's hand high, and slipped out of his arms. She sat up, guessing that there must be someone here. footsteps.

"Oh, look at me stupid!"

A 40-year-old woman was taken aback when she saw Xin Yue sitting up, and then, with a look of sudden realization, she held scissors in one hand and patted her forehead helplessly with the other.

"I wanted to break the cloth that was tied to that man's hand, but I couldn't tear it apart, so I went upstairs to look for scissors, but I've been looking for it for a long time!"

Holding a dark blue cloth scarf on her head, the woman walked forward step by step.

The woman's words almost made Xin Yue smile, she cleared her throat and said:

"Did you save us?"

"I went hunting with my man and saw you two fainted on the ground, so I put you on the horse and brought you back."

For several days, Xin Yue recuperated at this woman's house, and Xia Chuan gradually woke up after three full days of coma.

Xin Yue learned that this place is still in Japan.Although the hostess and hostess of this family are Chinese, they are survivors of the Song Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, their ancestors have taken root at the foot of Mount Wuji and hunted for a living.

This family treats Xin Yue and Xia Chuan very well, and when Xin Yue is in better health, they will go hunting in the mountains with them, which can be regarded as contributing their own strength.

Xin Yue was wearing a plain dark blue dress, which belonged to the eldest sister, and it looked a bit loose on her body.

The snow is getting thicker and thicker, and the catkin-like snowflakes are slowly floating between the sky and the earth, and the world is white and covered with silver.

Xin Yue came back from hunting with his elder brother and elder sister. Xia Chuan sat on the chair with his head slightly lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

Xin Yue raised his voice: "Xia Chuan, what are you thinking?"

Xia Chuan looked sideways, his eyes were like black jade, moist and flowing: "You are back."

"Ah."

"Recently, is there anything unusual?"

"Ok?"

"Take me for a walk on the mountain, I want to get some air."

Xin Yue frowned, but still brought him a piece of clothing, and watched him put it on.

Wuji area is surrounded by lofty mountains and deep forests. At this moment, it is covered with heavy snow and the pine trees are tall and straight.

Two figures, one blue and one white, stood on the top of the mountain. The man's white clothes fluttered and his hair fluttered. If there is no faint smile, a snow lotus blooms beside her, making her look holy and elegant.

"Did you see the horseshoe prints below?" Xia Chuan's voice became slightly hoarse because he had not spoken for several days, but it smelled more and more when it was blown in the air, warm and mellow like a jar of old wine.

Looking from Xinyue's point of view, there are cliffs over there. There is a strong unknown tree with thick branches protruding from the cracks in the mountain. The lake, next to the lake is a snow-covered path, and the path is full of messy horseshoe prints.

Xin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xia Chuan overlooking the sky below.His slightly pale and tired face due to his sickness was reflected more transparently by the heavy snow, and his white clothes were rolled up. When his eyes fluctuated, there was an indescribable beauty and sparseness. The outline is clean and neat.

Suddenly, he stretched out a hand, grabbed Xin Yue's arm, frowned slightly, and reprimanded slightly:

"What are you thinking? Reckless."

Then he pulled her back a step, and Xin Yue realized that part of the mountain she was standing on might have collapsed due to geological instability. If Xia Chuan hadn't held her back, she might have fallen.

Xia Chuan's hands were warmer than Xin Yue imagined, and he pulled her into a slightly central mountain clearing, making sure that the similar situation just now would not happen again before stopping.Xin Yue moved her arm, and Xia Chuan tacitly let go of her hand.

Xia Chuan was about to speak, Xin Yue hurriedly said:

"Actually, I wasn't rash, really." She raised her eyes and whispered, "It was just because I was not careful."

"Isn't that rash?"

Xin Yue smiled slightly: "A wise man will make a mistake if he thinks about it."

Xia Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really put gold on your face."

Xia Chuan seldom saw such a childish side of Xin Yue. After saying this ridicule, he was stunned belatedly, and then the corners of his mouth gradually raised into a smile.

"Go back." Xin Yue's expression became very indifferent in an instant, and after she finished speaking, she went down the mountain first.

The snow that had just stopped drifted away again and fell on the ground, icy cold.

There are horseshoes sounding in the surrounding mountains, and animals howling when hunters are hunting. This world is not peaceful.

Xin Yue and Xia Chuan bid farewell to the owner of the house that day.

Because they know more clearly than anyone else that if there is an enemy, they will soon come after them.The horseshoe prints that are faintly visible at the foot of the mountain in the distance during the day are the best proof.

According to the instructions of the Chinese hunters, there is still a long way to go from here to the nearest port.

Late at night, heavy snow covered the road ahead, Xin Yue and Xia Chuan lived in a ruined temple.

Xin Yue's hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people, and she heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance. She estimated that the sound of horseshoes might be related to scratching herself.

Now, there are four teams who might want to catch her.

Chu Zhiling.Yan Zhan, who had a deep grudge with her.The Chikushi family who thinks she is their own lady.The Chiyo family who regard her as the daughter of the enemy family.

The sound of horse hoofs was getting louder and louder, hitting people's eardrums. Xin Yue knew that danger was coming.

The wind roared like a devil, and in the snow-covered world, people could be seen riding horses in front of them.

Xin Yue stood up and said coldly: "I said before, I will never have anything to do with Chu Zhiling in this life. If you really want to arrest me, then take my body back."

It was Song Chang who rode the horse first. Hearing this, his eyebrows frowned, but he still said as gently as possible: "Sister-in-law, we have been looking for you for a long time. You should go back anyway, brother misses you very much. sick."

Xin Yue raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Why go back? That's not my home in the first place."

"you……"

"Stop rambling, I'm making a move."
