They planned to rest at the inn for the night before heading into the city. Light snow fell outside the courtyard at night. Because they could not find a doctor at the inn, they had to go to the city tomorrow to look for him in the city.
Two little girls squatted on the stone steps and watched the small snowflakes flying.
Shu Nuan looked up at the white snow falling from the sky, and thought of A Che, the one who carried himself out from an ambush on all sides, covered with wounds, on that snowy night.
Wen Zhigu reached out and held the cold snowflakes in his hands, and asked softly: "Shu Nuan, have you thought about your future?"
Shu Nuan sniffed and said, "I thought about it before."
Ache taught her a skill. He told her that with these skills, she would be able to survive even in adversity in the future. Later, the Qing Kingdom fell and she became a slave girl, but she met Sheng Qianmo again. , she survived, lived cautiously, but did not think about her future.
Wen Zhigu: "I have also thought about it. When I was very young, I would look at the drawings of various countries. My father said that I would be a military advisor in the future. A military advisor is a great status. You can command people to do what you want. , I didn’t accomplish anything after that, and I lived happily with my younger brother. After my younger brother was exiled to Seoul, I no longer dared to think about those dreams I had when I was a child.”
When Wen Zhigu said these words, his tone was calm and indifferent, as if he was just explaining an ordinary thing.
But the weather was so cold that it couldn't hide her sadness at all.
Shu Nuan fell silent, stretched out a little finger, scratched the snow on the ground, and said in a gentle voice, "Everything will be fine in the future, right?"
Wen Zhigu didn't say anything, just watched quietly as she drew the outline of a cute kitten on the ground.
Shu Nuan suddenly turned around and asked her, "Have you ever thought about... leaving him?"
Shu Nuan looked at Wen Zhigu, and even thought about using this opportunity to let Wen Zhigu leave Beicheng and leave the devil Ji Xubai...
Wen Zhigu nodded, but then lowered his head, "It's useless. I've seen it. Two of the guards who came with us are his."
The most important thing is that as long as he keeps holding her hand, she can't leave him.
The next day, they entered the city early in the morning. Because Yulin Academy had greeted them in advance, Shu Nuan and the others went there and found the courtyard directly according to the location given by Grandmaster Li. A guard helped to find the doctor and came to inform Wen. Look.
Fortunately, Wen Zhigu had nothing to do, but she just needed more rest, so Shu Nuan asked Wen Zhigu to stay and rest while she went out to buy things. After all, she was a newbie here, so she had to buy some things she needed.
Shu Nuan put on his cloak and went out. It was windy outside and the snow was falling heavily. Shu Nuan lowered his head and put on his cloak, tightened his cloak and walked out.
Yushui City was much more beautiful than she had imagined. Next to the path was a river running through several streets. Because of the snow, there was a thin layer of frost on the river. The walls by the water were made of smooth pebbles. It was made, illuminated by the winter sun, with a shallow light reflected on the frozen water. Most of the jagged houses are located on the river bank. From a distance, you can see the huge tower standing by the water. The water wheel was covered with frost and snow and had stopped turning.
After crossing the bridge, you have to walk through a winding waterway. The water surface of that waterway is also covered with frost, and there are neatly spaced rocky water steps. After walking through this gravel road on the water, Only then did we enter a bustling street.
