Chapter 395 Love Stone

The next day.

The four of them drove a carriage to Qingcang Mountain.

"This Qingcang Mountain is different from other hills. It towers into the clouds. Few people have actually climbed it. It is said that there is snow halfway up the mountain, making it very difficult to climb."

In the carriage, Tuoba Lie unfolded a map. It was a map he had drawn overnight looking for some old hunters who had climbed Qingcang Mountain. The highest one was only halfway up the mountain, and no one knew the way back.

"Jiu'er, why don't you just take care of me at the foot of the mountain, and I'll go with the Grand Imperial Master."

Tuoba Lie looked at Su Jiu, his eyes full of worry.

If he didn't put in a little effort, Tuoba Lie would feel like he was a waste and not worthy of being a king at all.

What's more, Su Jiu is not familiar with Qingcang Mountain at all. If anything happens to Jiu'er, he will really feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"No, brother Tuoba, don't worry. I'm very good at Qinggong. Even if I encounter danger, I can avoid it in time. What's more, there is a great master here."

Su Jiu looked through the curtain at Hang Jingyi who was driving a carriage.

"That's right..." Tuoba Lie also looked at it. After all, who in the world could let the Grand Master drive the carriage himself? God knows how nervous he was when he first got on the carriage.

"But no matter what, try your best. Even if you fail to get Zhen's soul in the end, it doesn't matter. I believe that Zhen would rather live like this for the rest of his life than take risks with you, Jiu'er."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Qingcang Mountain is at the junction of Tuoba and Xijin.

The temperature gets lower the closer you get, and once you completely enter the range of Qingcang Mountain, there is nothing else around except a small village.

It is said that it is a village, but it is just a group of hunters who live in groups for the convenience of going up the mountain so that they can take care of each other. Summer is the best time to go into the mountains. When autumn comes, even the most experienced hunters will not Dare to go up easily.

Once autumn comes, the temperature drops sharply, light snow begins to fall at the foot of the mountain, and the road up the mountain must be blocked.

Secondly, the altitude is too high and the air is too cold. Taking a breath can almost freeze your internal organs, let alone strenuous exercise like mountain climbing.

It's simply too much to bear.

When the four people arrived, most of the hunters had already packed up and discussed going down the mountain.

It was Tuoba Lie who revealed King Tuoba's identity and was able to retain him.

The one who stayed behind was an old hunter, everyone called him Lao Sang. He was a man of tendons and not tall, but he was full of strength and had a very strong body. It was this flexible skill that saved him from danger several times.

Lao Sang has a wife and three children. He goes to the mountains to live for two or three months every summer to earn a year's living expenses. In autumn, he goes down the mountains with a lot of things to reunite with his wife and children.

"Nobles, please drink some milk to warm your body first. This is produced by sheep in the snow-capped mountains. It is not smelly at all." Lao Sang took out a kettle and poured some milk for the four of them.

"Okay, thank you."

Su Jiu picked up the bowl and took a sip, her apricot eyes couldn't help but light up, "It tastes delicious!"

"As long as you like it, you nobles, I will go and prepare food for you right now. Even though it is still bright, in fact, it will be dark in less than an hour, and you will not be able to see clearly by then." Lao Sang Put the kettle on the other stove, keep it hot, and turn to the kitchen.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sang." Tuoba Lie thanked him.

Lao Sang waved his hands quickly.

As soon as Lao Sang left, the room fell into silence.

No one spoke.

It's not that I don't want to say it, I just don't want to say it. The weather is really too cold. You can see the milky white mist when you take a breath. If there wasn't a brazier burning next to it, I'm afraid the breath would condense directly into ice.

The fire in the brazier made the sound of crackling sparks from time to time.

Chi was lying on a wooden bed not far away, covered with a thick quilt.

Tuoba Lie was afraid that he would get cold, so he brought bedding and other items from the palace, which were very warm.

The tip of Su Jiu's nose was red from the cold, and she stretched her hand over the brazier and kept rubbing it.

Only Hang Jingyi was still dressed in white clothes, looking extremely elegant.

It makes people look cold.

Su Jiu tried to touch his hand.

Hang Jingyi raised his eyes in confusion.

"I just want to see if you are cold." She felt just now that his hands were warm, unlike brother Jing Yi's, whose hands were cold.

Hang Jingyi thought for a while, raised his hand and grabbed Su Jiu's hand. Just as he was about to keep it warm, Su Jiu stopped him.

"No, it's not cold enough yet, and your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't use your abilities indiscriminately." Su Jiu took his hand away and glared at him, why couldn't he pay more attention to himself?

Hang Jingyi was stared at by Su Jiu, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly unconsciously.

Tuoba Lie on the side looked at Su Jiu and then at Hang Jingyi. He obviously hadn't eaten anything yet, but he had an inexplicable illusion that he was full.

The temperature is low, and people are getting lazy.

Sure enough, just as Lao Sang said, when he came back from the kitchen after cooking and carrying the dishes, the sky that was still bright suddenly turned dark.

I had no choice but to light candles and eat.

The weather was so cold that even the candles were frozen solid and the flames were weak, as if they could be extinguished at any time.

The meal was very simple, just a few steamed buns and potatoes, some salt, mixed with milk, and two pounds of mutton, which was already the best ingredient Lao Sang could produce.

After eating, the four of them tidied up and rested.

Su Jiu was lying on the wooden bed. Although the quilt was warm, it still couldn't withstand the cold weather outside.

Therefore, after lying in bed for a long time, Su Jiu still couldn't fall asleep.

His upper and lower teeth were chattering.

Tuoba Lie in the next room seemed to be sleeping very soundly. He quickly fell asleep and even snored, which made Su Jiu even more unable to sleep.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the wind and snow outside seemed to be getting heavier.

This good martial arts seemed to be of no use on this snowy mountain. For the first time, Su Jiu felt that she was so energetic that she couldn't fall asleep. Instead, she became more and more awake as she tossed and turned.

She could even hear the sound of heavy snow hitting the wooden boards outside.

Su Jiu just stared at the opposite wall, always feeling like there was a draft somewhere and it was chilly.

"Can't sleep?"

Just when Su Jiu thought she would remain insomnia until dawn, a hand suddenly came down from top to bottom and touched her cheek. After feeling the temperature of her cheek, the hand did not move away, but stroked her cheek naturally.

Going up, "Why is it so cold?"

Su Jiu subconsciously moved closer to the heat source, "I don't know, it's just cold, but..."

Su Jiu hugged his hand and said, "Don't use your ability. I'll just warm it up."

Hang Jingyi squatted down and was very obedient when he heard the words. Instead of using his own ability, he handed his other hand to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu hugged him immediately.

Almost the entire hand was curled up into a fist in Hang Jingyi's hand.

"Much better." The heat continued to spread from the palms of her hands to her limbs, and Su Jiu couldn't help but let out a slight sigh.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Su Jiu closed her eyes and couldn't see the current posture of the two of them at all, but she felt that it should be quite ambiguous, but in the severe cold, she could no longer control so much.

"You forgot, I actually don't need to sleep." These days, although he has been on the road, Hang Jingyi slept several times. Later, he thought about it carefully. Maybe he and Su Jiu would be together after that time, so

Only then can you sleep peacefully.

"He will go into the mountains tomorrow. I don't know where he has hidden Brother Zhen's heart and soul."

The warmth came up, and sleepiness seemed to follow.

I closed my eyes and started to fall asleep.

"Don't worry, you will find it." Hang Jingyi comforted softly.

There were no candles burning in the room, but Hang Jingyi could see the girl's appearance very clearly. Almost half of her face was hidden under the quilt, and her frowning eyebrows slowly relaxed, and her little face flushed, looking cute and cute.

tight.

Hang Jingyi tried to take out a hand, took out a jade stone from her arms and placed it in her palm. The jade stone was blood red, crystal clear, and continuously emitted warmth.

Seeing Su Jiu respond softly, tilt her head and fall asleep completely, Hang Jingyi chuckled and tucked the quilt for her, stood up and walked out of Su Jiu's room.

As soon as I closed the door and turned around, I met a pair of gossipy eyes.

Tuoba Lie's strange eyes stood out in the darkness.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Hang Jingyi walked to the brazier and flicked the fire stick a few times to make the fire burn brighter.

After these days of getting along, Tuoba Lie is no longer as afraid of Hang Jingyi as he was before, and once even put his arms around him without fear of death.

"Why did you come out of Jiu'er's house? What did you do to Jiu'er?" The voice was suspicious and the tone was obscene.

Hang Jingyi glanced at him lightly and said, "Do you want to go up the mountain with us tomorrow?"

Tuoba Lie stopped talking.

If they go up the mountain together or replace Jiu'er, Tuoba Lie feels that he might have to admit that he is not Jiu'er on this snow mountain. If something happens to him, there is still a question mark whether Hang Jingyi will save him.

Woolen cloth.

Regarding this point, Tuoba Lie is very self-aware.

"I went to sleep. I didn't see anything today." As he said that, Tuoba Lie covered himself with the quilt.

The next second his thunderous snoring sounded.

Hang Jingyi couldn't help frowning when he heard this and poked his foot with a fire stick.

Tuoba Lie woke up in shock, "What's wrong?"

"Stop snoring, it's too noisy."

"No! Uncle, I'm already asleep. I can't hear myself snoring. This matter is beyond my control." Tuoba Lie's head hurt.

"Then don't sleep tonight."

Hang Jingyi said lightly.

Tuoba Lie quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Okay! I'll try my best to restrain myself, okay, don't wake me up again, I'm so sleepy."

After saying that, he continued to fall asleep.

This time, under Hang Jingyi's lust, he seriously stopped snoring. Even if he snored, he would hum in a very restrained voice.

A sweet night.

Su Jiu opened her eyes and found that it was already broad daylight. The weather in the snow-capped mountains was unpredictable. It seemed that the sun had come out, which had warmed up the whole room.

Su Jiu got up after getting dressed, when suddenly a hard, stone-like object slipped from the quilt onto the bed board, making a thud.

"This is……"

Su Jiu picked up the red stone, put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully. She didn't know what texture it was, but it was warm and comfortable.

"Hey! Isn't this the love stone that someone secretly gave away last night?"

Just when Su Jiu was checking and playing with carefully, the door of the room was opened by someone from outside.

Tuoba Lie's teasing voice sounded in the room.
