The thief
mistakenly
thought I was a twin sister and took me away. I wanted to explain, but when I saw the handsome eyebrows and eyes of the man in black without covering his mask, my mouth was stuck.
(1)
The masked man in black bypassed the guards and maids who had fainted to the ground, walked slowly to my side, squatted down on one foot and raised my chin with an ice blade.
He looked straight at me, and his dark eyes were as thick as ink.
“Miss Su, long time no see.”
My first reaction was that he made a mistake. The owner of Sujiapu
in the south of the Yangtze River has a pair of beautiful twin daughters. The elder sister is bold and the younger sister is quiet and timid, which is known to everyone in the neighborhood.
My elder sister has been used to acting recklessly since she was a child, and she is partial to the handsome son, which has caused me a lot of disasters. So I do the opposite of her everywhere, just to avoid people confusing me with her.
It turned out to be a mistake. I
don’t know which romantic debt my sister caused again. I just wanted to open my mouth to explain, but when I saw the handsome eyebrows and eyes of the man in black whose mask was not covered, I got stuck in my mouth. The
elder sister went out to visit the mountains and rivers this time for more than half a month, but she didn’t see anyone. Although the married Ma Er’s son was also famous, he harmed many good girls, but he didn’t want to have many green grasslands on his head. The day before yesterday, he came to the castle specially to express his dissatisfaction. Dad had already moved the idea of letting me marry instead.
Anyway, he has a lot of daughters. If she is capable, let her continue to make a name for herself in Jianghu. If she has no ability, let her get married, and she can get some capital back.
So I tightly shut my mouth, sooner or later to escape, it is better to follow this handsome man to escape.
Besides, I can’t escape the sword against my heart.
I thought the masked man was an infatuated man who loved his sister deeply. Who would have thought that after he made an unknown greeting, he touched my acupoint and picked me up to carry Qinggong to the snow mountain in the northeast direction.
I was like a chicken being caught by others, but in my mind I was thinking that my mother’s hometown, Dongyuan Town, was very rich, why was it so close to the snow mountain? The
temperature of the snow mountain was extremely low, but the masked man did not have the slightest reaction of pity. Although I was born in a Jianghu family, I had some internal strength, but I also felt the biting chill coming into my body. My hair and eyelashes were covered with ice dregs, and I was about to freeze to death, so I leaned against him trembling.
The masked man stiffened in vain and stepped back half a step before he found me in a mess. He hesitated a little and stopped to lose a little internal force for me.
It’s much warmer now. In the southern corner of the mountainside of the
snow mountain, there is a lonely cabin.
The door was unlocked, and the masked man took me into the room with a gentle push. I don’t know what kind of wood the cabin is made of, but it can not only withstand the snowstorm, but also be warm as spring after entering. The wooden house has tables and chairs, beds, complete furnishings, clean and tidy, much more comfortable than Dad’s summer home.
“Stay here and don’t run around.” The masked man turned and was ready to leave.
“Can you give me something to eat?” I grabbed him.
Being able to go back to my mother’s former residence to worship is the last dignity before my father engaged me. I haven’t had a good meal for half a month, and I’ve been on the road for so long, and now I’m really hungry.
The masked man lowered his head, looked at his sleeve, pulled it out impatiently, and threw a pill on the table.
“Piku Pill, one pill for one day.”
I picked up the pill and ate it honestly. My hunger soon subsided, and my stomach felt much more comfortable.
I tentatively pushed open a crack in the door, and the chill to the bone immediately hit me. I was so frightened that I quickly closed the door. No wonder the masked man in black was so relieved to let me stay here alone. This wooden house is a prison built in the snow mountain. I just don’t know why the masked man in black brought me here.
My intuition is that he is not a bad person. Now he mistook me for my sister. If he wants to hurt me, I will tell him that he has arrested the wrong person and see how he feels guilty in the future.
I have suffered too much today. My body and spirit have been in a state of high tension. I have been sleepy and tired for a long time. When I saw the clean bedding on the bed, I could not resist the sleepiness. I took off my coat and lay down in bed and fell asleep.
(2)
When I woke up the next day, I was still alone in the cabin. I exercised my muscles and bones and began to worry about the rest of my life. It’s boring to
have no book and no snacks.
A man in Tsing Yi pushed the door open. The wind blew in with large snowflakes, and I was yawning and stretching.
His body blocked the dazzling white light, and his white and handsome face was expressionless.
“Come with me when you wake up.”
This familiar voice as if one more word would lead to death! Sure enough, he was the masked man in black!
I gave him a dogleg smile. “I can go out with you, but can you warm me up?”? Or give me a fur hat or something? The man
in Tsing Yi turned around and said, “Why wasn’t it cold before?”
I curled my lips helplessly, not knowing what my sister had done.
Perhaps the man in Tsing Yi saw that my shivering appearance was too pitiful, so he took out a swarthy bead from his bosom and gave it to me. A soft light gently covered my skin, and my body warmed up. The man
in Tsing Yi led me to a pool not far from the back of the house and said, “Go and wash.” Above the
pool, the water mist filled the air, and the warm smell with the faint smell of sulfur came to our faces. It turned out to be a natural hot spring. The wooden house is built here, which may be related to the geothermal energy here.
I stood on the edge of the pool and hesitated a little. I thought he was a gentleman yesterday, but today he forced me to wash it. Could it be that he regarded me as a substitute for his sister and wanted to relive the old dream of a Mandarin duck with me?
Seeing that I was coy and did not move, he impatiently picked me up and threw me into the pool. The temperature of
the waist-high hot spring water is just right. Although I don’t want to admit it, I feel the pores of my whole body are open and comfortable when I soak in the water. The man
in Tsing Yi turned his back to me and walked away. He waited for a long time before urging me to climb up.
The old man had a bad temper. I gave him a white look and turned him over with my hands and feet.
“Change and clean up.”
The man threw a bundle, and I opened it and found that it contained a red silk dress, which was my sister’s favorite light, semi-transparent style, and some messy jewelry and makeup. It’s
over. I’m going to relive the old dream of a Mandarin duck. I didn’t run away like this or that.
But he did not turn around to peep at me, nor did he play with me first against the wonderful background of lonely men and widows.
At the moment, the sword behind him was not sheathed, and it was shining coldly.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and changed into a silk skirt. Fortunately, the little black bead has its own wonderful place, although wearing less, but still warm.
My brain is running fast, and the experience from the study of the script is that straight men will probably be soft-hearted to the white lotus. I decided to act as a qualified white lotus flower from now on until I find out the true intention of the man in Tsing Yi. I
chose a low-key hairpin and put it on. I dabbed a little Rouge and took a sip of lipstick. I said delicately, “I don’t usually dress up, and I don’t know if this looks good.”
The man turned to look at me, pursed his lips and said, “I don’t blush.”
“Huh?” It took me a long time to realize that the man said that the Rouge on my face was not red enough. So I dug out a big piece of Rouge and put two pieces of “plateau red” on my cheeks.
The man finally nodded to express his satisfaction and motioned me to follow closely. What kind of straight male aesthetic is
this man? Now the man is the knife, I sighed, speechless to follow.
(3)
Bypassing the hot spring and walking more than two miles, the man looked much more cautious. He stopped and knelt down in front of a big hole under a cedar tree.
“Huh?”
He tapped the hilt of his sword, and I knelt down with a weak knee. Apologize
to Elder Martial Brother, say you didn’t cheat him, and.. Willing to be with him forever.
Your senior fellow apprentice? Who is it? I asked subconsciously.
His eyes seemed to be on fire, and he spoke more smoothly. “Have you forgotten my brother?”? He died for you a year ago, and you forgot about him?
I
He was like a balloon that had been punctured, his tight body collapsed, his fist hit the snow, and tears slowly flowed out.
Elder Martial Brother, he has shouldered all the responsibilities. And you, this sorceress, are asking me, “Who are you, brother?”
Xueyan, is it funny? Is it worth it to you for such a woman?
“But it doesn’t matter.” The man’s eyes were red. “Elder Martial Brother, you must be very cold underground. I brought this woman here. I let her accompany you. You must be very happy.”
I watched him laugh and cry for a while. At this time, although he was still standing in a dedicated way, his whole heart was like a flash of lightning, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. This big hole of
his meow was dug for me, and this madman who changed from a cool guy to a chatterbox in an instant wanted me to be buried with him!
The man wiped away his tears, and the whole person returned to a clear and cold appearance, like a psychopathic killer who was not very clear in his mind, carrying a sword and coming towards me. In a flash of inspiration,
I covered my stomach and shouted, “I have your brother’s child!”
He stopped with a slight tremor and a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.
Wait, there’s something wrong. It happened a year ago. The baby should have been born long ago, right?
So I quietly let go of my stomach and continued to make it up. After running away
from here, I fell off a cliff and lost my memory of this place. It wasn’t long before I found out I was pregnant. I can’t remember exactly what happened, but that child, I think, was born with a life I loved very much, so I gave birth to him quietly.
I count the time quickly in my heart.
He.. His name is Snow Baby, and he is almost five months old. He is very good. His eyes are very big. He is very kind. He must be just like his father. I was still an unmarried woman, so I placed him in Chuang Tzu and hired someone to take care of him. If you catch me these days, I don’t know if he will miss his mother and cry loudly.
Who knows if a five-month-old baby will miss his mother. Didn’t
you lose your memory, that child.. Why is her surname Xue?
Why? Brother, of course, you just mentioned the name of Xueyan and I took it now!
I continued to play the role of the little white flower. “Although I can’t remember it clearly, I feel like snow is a very important word in my life.”
“This child, his surname should be Hsueh.”
The man closed his eyes and thought for a long time. When I thought I was still doomed, the man opened his eyes and his eyes were clear and bright again.
Elder Martial Brother, he.. Originally, he was not a member of the Snow Tribe. His surname was originally Chen. Later, if it suited him, he could change his name to’Chen Bao Bao ‘for his children.
All right, Castle Castle. With a wave of
his hand, the flying snow buried the pit. Now this pit is not buried in me, I just want to applaud, deep internal force is good.
Today is the anniversary of Elder Martial Brother’s death. I wanted you to go down with him. Now that you have Elder Martial Brother’s bones and blood, slow down. Two months later, the boundary of the mountain will be opened. I can send you away, and you can take me to see the children.
“If you lie to me,” he paused, “I won’t let you go.”
No, no, I miss my kids, too. I don’t know if he’s eating well, sleeping well, or growing a little. I pinched the corners of my eyes and said with a guilty conscience.
(4)
The man’s name is Xue Zheng. The moment I knew his name, I announced from the bottom of my heart that the hero who loved the heroine so much in all my scripts would have a name from then on. Of course
I am the heroine.
It turned out that Xue Zheng’s parents died early, and he was brought up by his brother. My mother also passed away very early. My father was busy marrying one concubine after another every day. My sister and I were not close. I can understand that he wants to be nice to others when others are nice to him.
A year ago, his sister seduced his brother and stole the snow beads of the Snow Clan. When the treasure was stolen, his brother took all the blame. After being severely punished, he fell down the cliff carelessly and only found a bloody shoe. Only Xue Zheng has seen her sister in the
snow clan. Xueyan had a good relationship with him, and once secretly brought him to the cabin, saying that this was his future wife, Xuezheng’s sister-in-law, and quietly gave him a look first. So he went down the hill with a lot of effort to catch me with his memory and sporadic clues.
He didn’t care about the bead. He just wanted me to be buried with my brother.
Xue Zheng is introverted and slow. As the second disciple of the patriarch, he has a sense of distance from other clansmen. After the death of his brother, he gradually stopped talking. Xue Zheng’s attitude towards me was much more relaxed,
probably because he was the brother’s lover and the mother of the brother’s children. Every day, he would come to the cabin to see me and say a few words.
Snow clans are exclusive, and there are more than 100 clans living in the south of the snow mountain. He is the only one I can communicate with. So I looked forward to him every day. At the beginning of our conversation, we were still bumping and bumping. Slowly, his words became much smoother and he gradually became familiar with each other. I
used to secretly read the script in the quilt, and I know that people like Big Brother, who have always been dedicated to practicing martial arts, once they fall in love with a person, they will be like an old house on fire, burning up.
I quietly squinted at Xue Zheng, unable to imagine what it would be like for him to fall in love with someone.
In this way, one brushes the good feeling degree, one cherishes the compensation psychology, two people rare harmony.
Xue Zheng really treated me as his eldest sister-in-law. Bigu Dan was not delicious, so he went to pick the yacon, peeled it and cut it into small pieces for me to eat, and then caught the snow fish and roasted it carefully for me.
These are all things that he once secretly followed and saw his brother do. Now that his brother is gone, he feels obliged to take care of his “widow.”.
He often looked at me with a smile and a firm expression of “I will certainly take good care of the children of my sister-in-law and brother.”. I feel a little sorry that
he treated me like this. Seeing that his robe was often cut by a sword during practice, he thought that his needlework was good, so he volunteered to mend it for him. Where the crack was too big, I embroidered a plum blossom for him with a needle and thread.
He took the robe, saw the small plum blossom, and said, “Please don’t use it next time.” But he was honest and happy to put it on. “I used to have my brother sew it for me, but it’s all crooked like a centipede. I’ve never seen such beautiful stitches.” I
ate delicious food, and when I was free, I went to the back of the house to soak in the hot spring. Apart from having nothing to say, it was a little boring, and my life was even better than when I was a lady in the boudoir.
But I feel guilty that his kindness to me is based on my lies.
If one day, he knows I lied to him, will he hate me, will he kill me?
Unexpectedly, the time spent with him passed too fast, and the day came soon. The Holy Land of the
Snow Clan has a day to open the boundary once every two months, which can be used by the clansmen to buy the necessities of life.
The next day he could go down the mountain. Xue Zheng enthusiastically took out a big wooden box from the cabinet and opened it solemnly. There are ugly dolls, swords cut from wood, fish carved from the bones of strange animals. It’s all children’s toys.
“My brother did all this for me when I was a child.”
Xue Zheng stroked these toys, as if recalling the happy old days, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his expression softened a lot.
“We bring all these toys for the baby to play with.”
This kind of iron man tenderness is the most poking, and I feel shameless again.
I don’t want to lie to him anymore.
Xue Zheng, can you listen to me? The kind of listening that is cold and quiet?
I told him everything.
“My sister has a red mole at the end of her eye, but I don’t.” The wick of the
oil lamp crackled with sparks, and neither of the two people in the room spoke first.
“I thought I could accompany this child to grow up slowly, teach him mental skills, teach him martial arts, teach him to fish under the ice, teach him to catch cats on the beam..”
Xue Zheng opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse.
I tugged at his sleeve and said, “I’m sorry.”
“Now, you tell me that you lied to me about all this..”
He looked away, showing only the lines of his side face. He lowered his eyes slightly. There was no expression on his face, but his voice seemed to be frozen: “I don’t know what is true and what is false.”. So I don’t believe a word of what you say.
He used his finger as a blade to cut off the plum blossom on his skirt.
“I can’t afford anything from a swindler.”
Ah, if you want to hate, you can hate. If you want to be angry, you can be angry. Why do you cut off your robe like a child?
My tears almost fell down, staring at the plum blossom, even when he left do not know.
(5)
He did not come the next day.
The door was like a box discarded at random. I picked it up and opened it. There were more than ten Bigu Dan in it.
He’s not here, and I don’t know the way down the hill, so I can only stay in the house. A little snow rabbit came to the arch, and I fed it a few pieces of fruit. I didn’t see him
until the boundary closed three days later. On the
fourth day, he came to see me.
“I’ve found out everything,” he said in a calm tone, unable to hear any emotion. “I’m sorry, I made a mistake and made you suffer. I’ll send you back in two months, and then I’ll take your sister back to accompany your elder brother. I agreed in a
dry way, and I had the consciousness of a dead Taoist friend who did not die in poverty.
“How long are you going to apologize to each other for being sorry to me? Shall we pull the hook and make peace?”
He replied with a faint word, and then walked away without looking back. The
daily food was still the same as before, but he would only deliver it to the door and never sit in the room again.
“Xue Zheng, the snow is really white today. Oh, no, the snow is really heavy today.”
I tried to talk to him, but he seemed indifferent.
I was sad to find that when I was just me in front of him, he didn’t seem to know how to get along with me, or he didn’t want to get along with me.
The snow mountain also had a thunderstorm, which made the whole mountain tremble on this day. I was most afraid of thunder, so I wrapped the quilt tightly in the wooden house, leaving only a pair of eyes looking around warily, for fear that the next moment the house would be split in half by thunder.
The thunder was so loud that I didn’t hear someone knocking at the door.
He walked straight into the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I had just wrapped myself in a cocoon at the foot of the bed.
I just heard that you are timid … Don’t worry, the thunderstorm won’t last long.
“Can you sit with me for a while?” Seeing that he said this and wanted to go, I reached out my hand to pull him.
The quilt slipped down, revealing my thin clothes and white arms.
His eyes slipped subconsciously, his face suddenly turned red, and he fled out of the door.
“I’ll be at the door.” The tone was finally no longer cold.
I looked down at the single clothes whose neckline slipped a little low, and in the script, the fragrant sideburns were slightly wet and the crisp chest was half leaking, which was probably the state described. Huh?
I wrapped the quilt tightly and swore that I didn’t mean it.
There was another thunderbolt, so I dragged the quilt against the door and sat down. “Are you still there, Xue Zheng?” I asked.
“Yes.” My voice was not loud, but he responded quickly.
I felt a little calmer and talked to him. I talked about everything
from the anecdotes in Jianghu to the local customs I have seen.
“Can you really pick up something like a star at the seaside?” He asked me, “Is that the beach in the middle of the night, like the night sky full of stars?”
“Yes, yes, when the starfish is cooked and eaten, the children next door will cry.” I answered with exultation.
He suppressed a smile and coughed twice.
I sighed, “Xue Zheng, if you hadn’t shown up, I would have had to find a way to escape.”
“I’m really happy to meet you.”
He did not speak again, and I put my face close to the door, as if I heard a soft sigh. When we meet
again, it is the day to go down the mountain.
He walked me to the edge of the town, with a complex expression of restraint and reluctance, and finally said nothing, but handed me a silk bag, and then turned away.
The back is a little bleak.
I wanted to keep him at all costs and ask him if he had any interest in me.
But my sister killed his brother, and I know he can’t get over it.
So I can’t ask.
I was in a trance and lost my grip. A bag of cedar nuts and a pile of gold leaves were scattered on the ground.
Cedar nuts are nuts that grow under snow cliffs and are not easy to pick, but they taste very crisp and delicious after being baked with internal heat. They are a kind of snack that my sister-in-law likes to eat.
I covered my mouth and tried not to cry.
Do not forgive, I will not force.
Not only official, but also very kind.
(6)
I didn’t want to go home and had nowhere to go, so I pretended to be a man and rented a house in Dongyuan Town with the money given by Xue Zheng.
I met Aunt Lan, who had been guarding my mother’s former residence all the time. When I heard that I had been taken away, my father didn’t care too much. He pointed out the third sister to Mr. Ma. Although the third sister is a concubine, she has learned a lot of tricks from her aunt, and her fighting capacity is good. She used to want to follow her sister to the Ma family to be a concubine, but now she is married to a wife, and she will not suffer losses. There is a bookstore in a
small town, I bought a lot of scripts, and finally I can no longer hide in bed secretly, but openly while knocking red melon seeds while tutting comments. A mother and son lived in the house on the
left. The son studied hard every day, and the sound of reading was fresh. After all, I used to grow up in the sound of practicing. Although
the scholar is comely, I always feel that he is dull. Once
I forgot to tie my hair and he saw me on the opposite side, and I even had a nosebleed.
So he often came to me on an excuse, sometimes to borrow rice and oil, sometimes to borrow books.
Rice oil is naturally available, and books are indispensable, but they are not very serious. I handed him a copy, and he saw the big words “Fall in love with the enemy’s little husband tonight” on the cover of the book, and his expression was very complicated. I knew what
he was thinking, but I didn’t know it. I just often think, at the beginning I always want to eat this and eat that, in Xue Zheng’s heart is not as annoying as I feel that the scholar is very annoying.
The more I recall the details of our relationship, the more I miss him.
One night, from the courtyard next door came a woman’s angry voice cursing, “When you win the Xiucai, the Juren, and the Number One Scholar, what kind of girl can’t you get?”? Do you have to find a woman of unknown origin? Two days ago I saw a man hanging around outside her house in the middle of the night. Maybe it was someone else who kept it in the outer room!
If a man stays, he must be looking for me. Do you look down on the thieves who step on the spot? I don’t know if the security
here is not very good. Last month, someone stepped on my roof and almost fell down.
“Bah, you are the outer room, and your whole family is the outer room!” I spat loudly.
Then, very soon, mother and son moved away. I breathed
a sigh of relief that I was finally at peace.
After that, I got to know a lot of people, not only the dull scholar, but also the perky captor in the town, the gentle son of the mayor’s family and the sharp-tongued shopkeeper of the liquor store.
I originally thought that I had read a lot of books about love, and had never really been in contact with a foreign man. When I met a good-looking man who was good to me, I fell into it. Wait for me to meet a lot of good-looking, a lot of good to themselves, this feeling will be weak.
But the days passed day by day, and in the dead of night, I bit the quilt and cried out secretly.
My heart is too small. If I have one person in my heart, I can’t hold anything else.
So come to think of it, sister and Ma Gongzi, but a natural pair, are the heart can be divided into many petals of the sea king and the sea queen.
Speaking of the elder sister, the elder sister arrived. One day when I was strolling in the street, my sister was standing in front of me with a smiling young swordsman on her arm.
“How long has it been since I’ve seen you? How did you get such a dusty face?”
As soon as I saw her, I couldn’t hide my anger: “Do you know that Elder Martial Brother Xueyan was severely punished for the ice beads and fell down a cliff and died?”
The elder sister turned pale and said with a guilty conscience, “No, no, it’s just a small broken bead, isn’t it?”? Li Lang hit Chiyan Fist, and his hands and feet ached as soon as the sun was big. He needed the ice soul beads of the Snow Clan to warm up for a year, but the old patriarch refused to borrow them anyway. I had to use some other methods. When I took it, I saw clearly that there were several more in the patriarch’s room.
Your lover just has a pain in his hands and feet in the hot weather, and the elder brother lost his life.
My sister is always so self-righteous, and I am too lazy to argue.
She rolled her eyes and gave me a huge black bead, just as she had tried to throw the pot at me countless times before.
Good sister, since you even know Hsueh-yan, it seems that you have a close friendship with the Hsueh people. Please go and return the beads to the Snow Clan, and don’t mention Li Lang and me.
I won’t take it. I’ll take the trouble I made.
She led Li Lang away, and the row of beautifully decorated carriages ran behind her. My flying skills were not as good as theirs, so I didn’t win.
I resigned to take the beads, even if I gave myself a reason to see Xue Zheng again.
The little captor happened to be patrolling the streets nearby, and when he saw me standing in the street, he trotted over in a hurry.
“Miss Su, my sister has always wanted to thank you for saving Little Red from Pai Hua Zi. I don’t know when you’ll have time to have a meal together.”
I waved my hand and said no. Undaunted,
the little captor took out a ice-sugar gourds wrapped in oil paper from his satchel.
“I see you like this, so I just passed by the shop and bought one.”
“Oh, then you are also quite smooth.”
It was not an expensive gift, and I happened to be greedy, so I took the ice-sugar gourds over.
The crisp and sweet rock sugar mixed with the fruit acid of hawthorn was so delicious that I took two more bites.
Is it delicious? I’ll taste it.
Xue Zheng came out of nowhere and took a small bite with my hand. Then she smiled sincerely at the little captor: “Thank you, it’s really delicious.”. Buy one for me next time if it’s on the way. I haven’t seen him for
almost half a year. His eyebrows and eyes have not changed. He has lost some weight, but he is still so handsome that his heart beats faster at the sight of him.
I looked at him crazily, after all, this may be the last time. How have
you been recently? Did you eat well? Did you sleep well?
He took the ice beads and said with a sneer, “Of course it’s not as good as eating and drinking on the snowy mountain as you do here, and there are people who are so attentive that they can enjoy themselves.” I was still holding the unfinished ice-sugar gourds in my
hand, and I felt a little guilty at once.
He stood still. “Why don’t you go?”
I came to my senses and said, “Oh, I’m leaving.”
It seems that he really doesn’t want to see me and will drive me back as soon as he meets me.
I walked back dejectedly and couldn’t help looking back.
But I saw him following me silently.
“Why are you following me?”
“There have been torrential rains these days, and the tiles on your roof have been damaged. They must be repaired.”
Big Brother fell off a cliff and was saved by Orion. He lost his memory, and today he just remembered to go back to the clan.
He answered again for no reason.
(7)
“Shaoxia, who is highly skilled in martial arts, do you still go to the house to mend tiles?”
“No,” he stammered. “Just yours.”
“Wait, how do you know my roof is broken?”
Xue Zheng’s voice was muffled: “Last month, I stepped on it.”
“You peeked at me?”
“No, no!” He waved his hand anxiously. “There’s a nest of mice on the beam. I’m afraid I’ll frighten you, so I’ll get rid of them secretly.”
“Are you the one who lingered outside my house?”
Maybe.. Right? I don’t know how you’re doing, but sometimes I want to see you before I feel at ease.
It was said that he had prepared for a rainy day to repair the roof, but he did not do it well for a few days.
I’m not in a hurry. I just want to see what he wants. Before the
rain came, the flower thieves came first.
The little captor was the first to warn me: Miss Su, recently a big flower thief has come to the city. He has committed two crimes in a row. Although you usually dress up as a man, I heard that big thieves don’t avoid men and women. They only pick on beautiful people, but you have to be careful. For the sake of safety, you can go to my sister’s house for a few days. The gentle son of the
mayor’s family came over with two strong guards, and the shopkeeper of the wine shop came over with a vicious dog with teeth grinning and salivating.
I declined one by one.
“I have a great hero who will protect me.” I pointed to the roof.
The hero was slowly covering the tile, pursing his lips and showing no expression. The sword
beside him shone proudly.
That night Xue Zheng did not come back, he squatted in the town for half a night, and finally caught the flower thief to the Yamen.
My big hero. He’ll really protect me.
“Xue Zheng, can I go back to Snow Mountain with you?”
Xue Zheng was placing the last tile when he heard that his hand shook and almost dropped the tile.
He rolled over and stood firmly on the ground. “Can I ask for marriage first?” He asked cautiously.
“If I can, I won’t know until I try.” I bit my lip and answered grumpily.
He was overjoyed and took out a pearl hairpin from his bosom. It’s exactly the same shape as the plum blossom
I sewed.
“I..” Before he had finished, I threw myself into his arms and motioned for him to put the pearl hairpin on me.
“Of course I am willing.”
“a hundred will, a thousand will.”

Xue Zheng accompanied me to pack my luggage and said goodbye to Aunt Lan, who was always comforting me with tears.
Aunt Lan is a native of Dongyuan Town, and she is naturally satisfied to know that the snow people value love and righteousness. She pulled me to say a lot of personal words before she would let us go. After
we went back, Xue Zheng returned the ice bead to the clan, and went to the door of the patriarch to kneel for three days and three nights. The old patriarch finally saw an ice bead in the house, and the temperature was finally high. He nodded reluctantly to let me stay on the premise that he could sleep more soundly at night.
The elder brother saved his life and limped. He was even more silent and practiced day and night.
He came to see me specially before the retreat and extended his best wishes to me and Xue Zheng.
Facing my face, which was almost the same as my sister’s, his eyes were flat like a pool of stagnant water.
I think the elder sister is wrong. Although the elder brother is not as good-looking as Li Lang, his beauty is in his bones. My sister probably didn’t know that the treasures piled up in the treasure house of the Snow Clan were as high as a mountain. I don’t want a piece of warm jade, but I am fascinated by a fancy feather.
However, the individual has his own fate, and he cannot force it.
Perhaps love a person, for her to pay everything is worth it, whether that person is worth it or not.
There is only love and no love, no right or wrong.
“Are there any taboos about marrying one of your snowy people?”
“If you live in the mountains for a long time, will there be any danger, such as avalanches?”
“Can I go down the mountain more often?”
“I’ll tell you about these problems after we get married.”
I stamped my feet angrily, but he bent his lips and kissed me gently on the forehead.
How is that enough? I stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
His eyes widened, his whole body stiffened as if he had been touched by an acupoint, and he passively let me ask for it, but the tips of his ears were quietly red.
The cabin was just a place for him and his brother to rest occasionally. Xue Zheng took me back to his house. The place where he lives is big and spacious, and it will be our new house after we get married. You can buy whatever you
want. If you feel bored, after you get married, I’ll take you out to play as soon as the boundary opens.
With such a groom, I don’t think I have to worry about the rest of my life. On the
wedding day, the Snow Clan held a grand ceremony. Everyone was singing and dancing around the fire. Aunt Lan, who was specially invited, smiled so hard that she could hardly open her eyes.
Xue Zheng drank a few more glasses of wine, and her white skin looked very delicious with a faint blush.
He took my restless hand and shyly blew out the lamp first.
Then my mind went blank, and I forgot everything I learned in the script.
My range of activities gradually expanded, and most of the snow people’s attitude towards me was as gentle and alienated as their attitude towards Xue Zheng.
“Your beaded flowers are so beautiful.”
“It’s called Melaleuca. It’s very popular in the south of the Yangtze River. I can teach you.”
A lively and bold snow girl accosted me, and we had a pleasant exchange several times.
I also sent her some scripts.
As a result, the next day she came to me shyly to borrow a new script, so my social sphere was broadened by relying on the script, and I became one with the girls.
The stock was quickly swept away, and it happened that Xue Zheng came back from practice. I thought about asking him to take me out and bring in a new batch of goods.
“My cold-faced little husband”, “Your Highness, no”, “crazy drag husband spoil me to heaven”..
He gritted his teeth and read my book list word by word.
“Is it that my wife is floating and doesn’t know how high the sky is, or that my husband is too old to carry a knife?”
This night, under his repeated tough proof, I have to sigh that men’s learning ability is really strong. Where
there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is right and wrong. Although the Snow Clan is relatively closed, it also has enemies and industries.
Both things need people.
Xue Zheng’s task last year was to patrol the mountains, and this year’s task is to collect the rent and purchase a large number of materials needed by the clan.
As he whittled the wood, a rickety wooden horse was almost formed.
“The month is stable. If you’re bored, would you like to go down the mountain with me tomorrow?”
I touched my pregnant stomach and nodded expectantly.
Don’t go to that restaurant last time. The food is expensive and not delicious. I’d like to eat Lao Wang’s fried duck with ginger and Pockmarked Lin’s wontons.
I added another sentence in my heart:
As long as you are here, I can go anywhere.
