Chapter 451 Paintings in the Snow (Part [-])
Under the darkness of night, the increasing wind and snow made the visibility even lower. Xia Zhaoxue originally wanted to send the girl to the Yuanhe Sect, but now he had to find a flat place to rest temporarily.

The girl had a severe fever, her forehead was burning hot, her face was flushed, and she was babbling from time to time in a drowsy sleep, with slurred speech.

Xia Zhaoxue pressed a small cloth wrapped in snow to her forehead. With the faint light of the fire, the girl's face was very delicate and familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Judging by her age, she was younger than the one she met last night.

It was snowing heavily outside the shade of the tree, Xia Zhaoxue looked up and looked around, he had to find a way to get some hot water and herbs.

"Girl," Xia Zhaoxue said to the sleeping girl, "I'll be back soon. If you wake up, don't be afraid."

After speaking, seeing the little girl's tightly wrinkled face, his thick eyebrows also frowned slightly.

After a pause, he broke off a wooden branch and went to the flatter snow field inside.

Girls are not necessarily literate, but they should be able to understand the paintings.

Xia Zhaoxue drew a few simple pictures, fearing that the girl would not notice them when she woke up, he drew a few arrows around the girl, and then left.

The night was boundless, and everyone on the mountain stepped on the night, still continuing to search.

Nearly 15 people lit ten torches and searched layer by layer, very carefully.

"Master! Over here!" Dai Yu shouted standing on the edge of the cliff, "There's something down there."

When Shen Lie heard the words, he rushed over immediately, and Du Xuan followed behind him holding a torch.

The cliff is so steep it's almost vertical.

About three feet down the cliff, a small bundle hung loose.

"I'll go down and have a look." Shen Lie said, and immediately walked towards the other side of the gentle cliff.

"Master!" Du Xuan followed, "Master, wait for me! It's dangerous here!"

Others rushed over and asked what happened.

The old man saw the burden and said, "You are waiting for me here."

Seeing that the old man was also going down there, Dai Yu and Du Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't! Old man, it's dangerous!"

But they saw that the old man was extremely flexible. Before they could see clearly, the old man jumped down from the top of the mountain, as light as a bird, and with a flick of his plain robe, he was already under Shen Lie.

Everyone was stunned and jumped, Shen Lie looked down and paused slightly.

This skill...

"This old man is too powerful!" Dai Yu was surprised.

Du Xuan blinked and said, "I remembered!"

"what?"

"Ali." Du Xuan said.

When she was in Yanyunwei Mansion, the girl flew over the eaves and walls and almost played tricks on everyone. At that time, her flexible figure seemed to be elusive.

Shen Lie looked at the old man, he had already reached the inclined wall in an instant and took off the burden.

The rest of the dry food fell off the cliff, and there was a cake caught by the bundle and branches. The cake paper was covered with a small red stamp, which read the words "Lianfei Pavilion".

The old man looked down the cliff, and then at the mountain wall behind him.

Shen Lie jumped down from the small high slope, glanced at the cake in the old man's hand, and said, "Senior, I'll go down."

The old man nodded: "Okay, I'll look here again to see if there is any blood."

The word "blood" made Shen Lie's back stiff, and said in a deep voice, "There won't be any, I'll go down first."

"Ah."

The old man watched him leave and held the cake in his hand tightly. He wanted to ask a lot about the girl, but now is not the time.

The old man withdrew his gaze and looked at the other frost and snow on the cliff, only here and below.

Since an hour ago, they stopped digging snow and searched for cliffs and falling snowdrifts all the way.

After such a long time, if it was really buried, it would have no life. If it was still alive, it must have climbed the cliff, or fell down accidentally.

The dead body can be found slowly, but the living possibility must compete with time.

Du Xuan and Dai Yu saw Shen Lie going down from the top, and hurriedly held up torches to get down together.

The road on the cliff is very difficult, and many places are covered with frost and snow. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss. In the end, they can only stretch the torch as far as possible from the top, trying to let the fire light illuminate more areas, but for As far as the entire cliff is concerned, these flames are insignificant, as insignificant as gravel.

Shen Lie went down along the snow, and there were no roads in many places, so he had to rely on the strength of his arms to go down. Fortunately, not long after going down the cliff, there was a long snow slope, which was full of soft snow that slipped from the cliff. There is a large area of ​​snow under it, and there is a wide river in the distance. The river is not completely frozen, and it flows forward very slowly.

A gust of cold wind blew up, and the sky was full of frost and snow. Shen Lie gasped and stood on the huge snow slope, looking at the vast snow, the fear in his heart became more and more intense.

After a while, he started searching again, starting from the southeast.

……

……

The fire was getting smaller and smaller, and a few dead branches were crackling in the fire.

Xia Zhaoyi was awakened from the dream by the severe pain, she opened her eyes, the surroundings were dimly lit, the wind and snow were blowing from the gaps between the tall branches, she looked at the wind and snow, and couldn't tell whether she was alive or dead for a moment of.

After a long time, she propped herself up to sit up, her palms were full of wounds, her whole body seemed to be broken, and her calf felt sharp and severe pain. She stretched out her hands and rubbed her calf to make sure that the bones were not really broken, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

The memory in her mind gradually became clearer, she was not dead.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the arrow drawn on the ground beside him, Xia Zhaoyi turned his head, followed the direction pointed by the arrow, and looked inward.

There were a few simple small paintings on the snow. She got up on the ground and limped over.

It is a very simple painting, but it can be understood by people. It is simple but not crude. It basically means that she was rescued. The person who rescued her is now looking for medicine and water, and will come back soon.

The painting skill of this painting is not shallow, it is different from the freehand painting of mountains and rivers. How long has passed.

Moreover, the fire beside the fire was almost extinguished.

Another gust of wind blew, and Xia Zhaoyi reached out to hug his arm.

Obviously her body was very hot, scorching hot, but she felt very cold, and with the injuries on her body, she was suffering from freezing pain.

The breath came out with white smoke, she looked around, and had to find some dry branches to keep the fire going, she couldn't freeze it.

Coming out of the flat ground, she looked up and saw many torches in the distance.

Xia Zhaoyi reluctantly climbed the trees and stepped on the small slope. The torches seemed to be coming towards her. Judging by the number of people, it was not the scale of the imperial court.

who is it?

Was it brought by her rescuer?
Or, did you see the fire burning on her side?

Judging from the direction they were going, they were indeed on her side, so they should come over.

Xia Zhaoyi breathed into his hand, turned around and sat down carefully on the snowy slope.

The big tree beside her was covered with snow particles, and she leaned her head sideways, not wanting to move because of the pain.

Closing her eyes in a daze, she wanted to fall asleep again, when she heard the sound of footsteps stepping on frosty and snowy dead branches, she opened her eyelids and looked, in the blurred vision, a tall and tall man came from under the snow path, aware of Her presence, looked up.
