After leaving Pingyang City, the group went north.
Because I stayed in Pingyang City for a long time, it was already early winter when I continued on the road, and the weather was getting colder.
Chu Qingyan wore a collar made of white fox fur, a neat fur robe, and a short jacket, which made her skin white and shiny, her lips red and her teeth white. From a distance, she looked like a golden boy beside Guanyin Bodhisattva.
At this time, she was explaining to Jinxin.
"The one who smiles when he sees everyone, his name is Huo Ling, he has a smiling face, and he is quite enthusiastic. You can ask him if you have anything."
Laughing, laughing, smiling tiger? Huo Ling, who listened with ears pricked, pointed to his own prince, looking stunned.
"Did you see? The man who wiped the knife under the tree was called Tu Ling, a debt collector, with a straight face all day long. Don't mess with him if you have nothing to do."
Tu Ling slipped his hand and almost scratched his own hand.
Debt collector? This is quite appropriate, Huo Ling thought to himself, the smiling tiger of his own is quite good, so be satisfied!
Just listen to it continues.
"The man who sits and fiddles with the wooden saw is called Mu Ling. He is ingenious and good-natured. What kind of weapons do you need, you can ask him to help."
Mu Ling, who had been listening, let out a long sigh, but fortunately, he was not told too badly.
"And there's that person in white clothes fluttering about distinguishing herbs. His name is Kongling. Don't look at him as an immortal, but he is actually a black-hearted person. His heart is as black as soup and medicine. He never adds sugar to people's medicines!"
The corners of Kong Ling's mouth twitched, black heart? It seems that he is the worst described of them all.
So Xiao Xu, who was drinking tea on the chair, received the aggrieved eyes of his subordinates.
Huo Ling: Master, the little princess is bullying people!
Tu Ling: The little princess said that her subordinates are debt collectors!
Mu Ling: The subordinates seem to be fine.
Ethereal: Master, are you black-hearted
Xiao Xu's hand holding the cup trembled, and he finally lowered his head to drink it. It was not easy for him to interfere.
Seeing the appearance of his own master out of the way.
Huo Ling: I know that the master is protecting the little princess!
Earth Spirit: Same as above.
Mu Ling: No opinion.
Kong Ling: Why are your subordinates so black-hearted? Just because the medicine doesn't add sugar, what the hell
Everyone looked at the ethereal spirit, which had collapsed. It turned out that no poison could compare to a comment from the little princess.
The means of the little princess is really high!
At this time, Chu Qingyan knew that the whispering words of herself and Jinxin were clearly heard.
Only Jinxin felt that the gnashing eyes from all directions couldn't help rubbing his arms. It seemed that the master had provoked public anger, but why did the master seem to have no idea.
That's because his master is already immune.
When she was resting in the forest that night, Chu Qingyan was going to spend the night in a tent with big ice cubes as usual. She felt something was wrong and asked Xining, "Where did Jinxin go?"
"The slaves don't know either. It seems that Lord Huoling took him away just now, saying that he wanted to teach him martial arts." Xining recalled the expression of Lord Huoling at that time, as if he wanted to eat people.
Chu Qingyan thought about it, this is not bad, Huo Ling and the others are strong in martial arts, and I believed that they could learn from them, so they entered the tent with confidence.
It didn't take long for the big ice cube to enter the tent. Chu Qingyan pulled the quilt and looked depressed, "Big ice cube, Huo Ling and the others looked at me strangely today, I don't seem to provoke them!"
Xiao Xu coughed lightly, "Don't think so much, go to sleep!"
"Oh."
Immediately in the darkness, another tentative question rang out.
"Big ice cube, can I sleep in your arms?"
It was getting colder and colder, and she had a cold physique. Not long after she lay down, she felt the chill spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body.
In the darkness, a pair of big hands stretched out and wrapped around her slender waist gently, and she was already lying in his arms.
Although the big ice cube is usually cold, but his body is very warm, Chu Qingyan sighed and buried his head in his chest with satisfaction.
"Sleep!" Xiao Xu thought of the children who were rescued from the stone room. When he saw his parents, he cried and hugged them, so when he saw the little guy who was so clinging to him, he subconsciously regarded her as someone who left. Children that parents need to rely on.
Tomorrow, let Luyi prepare a few hand warmers for her.
The person in her arms has already slept, and the journey was bumpy. Although she didn't say it, it was really hard.
Xiao Xu touched her head and closed his eyes.
night, quiet.
The fire was burning with a "poof".
All things have fallen into a deep sleep.
But at this time, a low roar came from a tent.
"Chu Qingyan—"
Immediately, thousands of mountains and birds flew away, and thousands of people disappeared!
Huo Ling and the others opened their eyes and fell back to sleep lazily. The unscrupulous master didn't help them get justice.
It is rare to see what these subordinates have suffered from their masters, and they are not only sympathetic but also gloating.
The next day, Chu Qingyan got up, and there was no shadow of the big ice around her. As soon as she got out of the tent, she saw Jinxin limping in front of her.
"Jin Xin, what's wrong with you?" Chu Qingyan was taken aback.
"Last night it was too dark and I accidentally fell." Jinxin coughed and turned his head, not daring to look her in the eyes.
Chu Qingyan glanced at him suspiciously, then glanced at the leisurely Huo Ling people under the tree, and then said "oh" meaningfully.
Although it was a bit far apart, when Huo Ling and the others heard the "Oh", the ending sound was so long that it made their hearts tremble.
After another day's journey, after night fell, everyone set up camp to rest.
As usual, Jinxin was dragged by Huo Ling and the others to discuss it. Chu Qingyan didn't ask any questions, and lay in the tent with big ice cubes early.
The big ice cube ignored her all day today, she will have to break the ice later.
As soon as Xiao Xu came in, the person beside him had already opened his arms and embraced him. When Xiao Xu thought of last night, his face darkened, he picked her up with one hand and the hand warmer with the other and stuffed it into her arms, "Go to sleep tonight. !"
In the blink of an eye, he was separated by a large ice block, and there was a hand warmer in his arms. Chu Qingyan glanced at the person who was already lying down, and muttered, "Is it because I fell asleep last night and accidentally bit you. Well, so stingy!"
How could these words escape Xiao Xu's ears? His face became even darker. Although he was wearing a shirt, he bit the same place twice, how dare he say he was not careful!
However, Chu Qingyan rubbed her chin at this time and pondered. Could it be that she was thinking about it every day and had dreams at night, and her obsession was too strong, so she bit the shoulder of a big ice cube while she was half asleep
Chu Qingyan smiled embarrassingly, and immediately softened and hardened, but unfortunately the other party was completely indifferent.
In the end, she could only be discouraged. It seemed that the big ice cube was really pissed off by her. Forget it, come back to coax him tomorrow.
After a while, Chu Qingyan shouted in a daze, "Cold..."
Closing his eyes, Xiao Xu opened his eyes, glanced at the hand warmer that she kicked to the end, sighed lightly, wrapped his arms around him, and took her into his arms.
The next day, when I woke up, the big ice cube disappeared early again.
Chu Qingyan got up, not surprisingly, she saw Jin Xin, who had a tired face and was more limping.
But unexpectedly, the Taishanghuang looked melancholy.
