Chapter 162: Dry Bones
The north wind is getting stronger, the lead clouds are low-pressure, and in the cold valley, the places where the wind and snow pass are like crystal hills, reflecting everything in white. For a moment, it is impossible to tell whether the sky is bright or dark, so Mo Zhi finds a cave in the mountain.
, led Meng Xueqing to hide in, and looked at the cave
The wind was howling outside, and flakes of snowflakes and ice crystals were rushing past, like an impenetrable torrent. Fortunately, inside the cold valley, pine branches could be seen everywhere. If you picked up a few, you would light a bonfire. Under the flames, inside the cave
Finally got some warmth.
The two of them had been running for half the night. At this moment, their whole bodies felt stiff. With the help of the fire, they could only feel the warmth gradually returning to their limbs and their hearts. Meng Xueqing's face was blown red by the wind, like a mountain peach, and there was a layer of fine hair floating on her eyelashes.
Blood flowers, as the warmth gradually grew at this moment, snow flakes withered and dissolved, dripping down the corners of her eyes, like a string of teardrops, but Meng Xueqing suddenly smiled bitterly at this moment.
"I didn't expect... taking Brother Mo to see a scene would lead to so many changes."
Mo Zhi waved his hands and smiled, saying: "What's the big deal? No one could have expected such a thing. You had good intentions to take me to see the mountain scenery to relieve my sorrow, but as for who I met, it was unpredictable."
Meng Xueqing's mind was filled with ups and downs, and she said calmly: "Actually... I came out this time not just to take you to see the mountain scenery, but to find some herbs to heal your injuries...
..”
Mo Zhi was puzzled when he heard this and asked quickly: "Why did you take me out to look for him this night?"
Meng Xueqing's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know whether it was because of the lingering chill or because the girl's face looked shy and timid under the light of the fire: "There are many rare medicines in the valley that never grew in the past, but before the windy season comes, all kinds of rare medicines will appear.
compete
The earth was broken, but it only lasted for a few days. When the wind passed by, all the medicinal materials turned into powder and scattered in the wind, spreading throughout the valley. I watched the wind season approaching in the past few days, so I thought about taking it with me.
You go out and look for it, you wouldn't expect..."
Mo Zhi looked at Meng Xueqing who was clearly thinking about herself, but at this moment she was still blaming herself for dragging her down. His heart was neither warm nor pitiful. He felt a burning passion suddenly arise from his heart. He looked at the girl in front of him lovingly.
There was nothing but pity and pity on his face, and he couldn't help but softly console him: "Sister, you think of me and are good to me. I know that it's not your fault in the first place, so why should you blame yourself?"
Meng Xueqing swept her eyes and saw that through the firelight, Mo Zhi was leaning against the mountain wall. His face was pale, but he still had a high spirit. Thinking about his past experiences, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Mo Zhiqi said: "Girl, you said I didn't want you to blame yourself, but instead you made fun of me."
Meng Xueqing said: "I'm not laughing at you. It's just that now that I think about Brother Mo's past actions, I find it very funny."
Mo Zhi asked: "What's so interesting about it? I'm almost exhausted from running around here and there."
Meng Xueqing's pupils flashed with light, moist as mist, and said slowly: "When I talk to you on weekdays, you are very interesting, and you seem to be a naughty boy. But when encountering disasters, you are sometimes upright and unafraid in the face of danger, but
If the opponent is strong and difficult to match, you seem to have turned into a scheming person again. You just used the wolf blood viscera to smear Yu Wenjue's body. If it were me, I would not have thought of doing this."
After hearing this, Mo Zhi felt self-satisfied for a while, then he frowned and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if what you said is a compliment or a criticism. Anyway, I heard mostly good things, so I'll take it as your compliment."
Me."
As he spoke, Meng Xueqing also laughed for a while. The two of them stepped into the cave and faced the cold wind outside the cave. At this moment, they felt less panic and more harmonious. Meng Xueqing looked out of the cave.
He said to himself: "The wind and snow seem to be much smaller now. I don't know how many herbs can be picked back after the wind and snow."
Mo Zhi quickly smiled and said: "Sister, we are lucky enough to be able to go back with our beards and beards intact this time. You are still thinking about collecting herbs. If it's just for a few herbs, you and I will be trapped."
Shen Shan, I’m so sorry to Master Meng Valley!”
Meng Xueqing didn't know why, but when she heard what Mo Zhi said just now, the two of them were trapped in a deep valley, she didn't feel any panic or fear in her heart. Instead, she leaned gently on Mo Zhi's shoulder. She felt infinite compassion and deep love and whispered to her in a low voice.
, said softly and tactfully: "Originally, I just thought that I was tired of seeing the mountains covered with ice and snow, but now that I think about it, if I watch a snowfall with you, it seems that it will be safe for hundreds and thousands of years."
Mo Zhi listened to her whispering softly, with knots in his heart, and there were countless lingering affections. He felt a tingling sensation in his heart, as if there was a hot fire burning in his chest. He just thought to himself: "Mo Zhi, Mo Zhi, Mo Zhi,
Should I say your life is good or bad? When you are about to die, you will meet such an infatuated girl. If I accept her great love, wouldn't it make her sad if I suddenly die in the future? "
Thinking of this, there was a sudden chill in her heart, and the blood in her body instantly became cold. However, Meng Xueqing's heart was full of deep affection at this moment, and she just snuggled quietly next to Mo Zhi, guarding the bonfire, and her heart was filled with peace. After a while,
, and gradually fell asleep through the warmth.
Mo Zhi looked at her beautiful face, which was as moist as jade or as snow on a jade tree. How could he not love her? But every time he thought that he was seriously injured, he hesitated again, but suddenly he heard Meng Xueqing move suddenly.
His brows furrowed slightly, as if he had had a dream, and his beautiful lips moved slightly, as if he was telling something in his dream.
"Mother...Mother..."
Meng Xueqing whispered in her sleep, and it turned out that she was dreaming of her mother. Mo Zhi smiled slightly and thought to himself: "We are really in agreement on this point after losing my mother."
He gently tidied the messy hair at the ends of Meng Xueqing's hair behind her ears. When he saw Meng Xueqing's white and creamy skin, he was even more dazzled. For a moment, he was stunned and couldn't help but think.
To kiss her on the cheek.
"Are you all going to leave me..."
Meng Xueqing suddenly whispered, although she didn't know what the dream was like, but as soon as the words came out, Mo Zhi suddenly woke up and whispered: "Yes, what if you love her in your heart? If you kiss her, you will spend eternity with her in the future.
Now, my previous promise to Xiaoluan has been difficult to fulfill, so how can I make another promise to sister Xueqing? If it offends her and makes it difficult to stay together, it’s better to give up this idea as soon as possible...
"
He smiled bitterly, and then his mind became clear. He stopped looking at Meng Xueqing and leaned on the stone wall alone. After a while, he felt sleepy and was about to fall asleep.
Not long after the two fell asleep, Mo Zhi suddenly felt the stone wall behind him shaking. Then there was a crisp sound, and it collapsed. His body swayed and moved with the fall. Fortunately, the stone wall on the first floor seemed to collapse, and another one appeared behind him.
There was something holding him up, but if his side moved
, and Meng Xueqing also woke up from their dreams. The two of them were confused for a while. When they looked back, they saw a cloud of dust stirred up. It turned out that the mountain stone wall was just a superficial layer of floating top. At this moment, Mo Zhi leaned against it for a long time, and finally broke and collapsed, and behind him
A stone wall is a solid mountain.
Mo Zhi shook his head and was about to get up when he suddenly heard Meng Xueqing exclaim.
"Brother Mo, look...behind you...there is a skeleton!"
When Mo Zhi heard her shouting, he was shocked all over. He felt that the thing he was leaning on was rugged and withered, like a human sternum. He immediately looked back and saw that the skull was face to face with the hollow and dark eye sockets.
, staring intently at him, it was a human body withered bones, and Mo Zhi couldn't help but scream and run up.
The two of them took several steps back. Meng Xueqing grabbed Mo Zhi's sleeve tightly and did not dare to move for a long time, as if she was afraid of waking up the skeleton in front of her. After a long time, the two of them slowly approached, only to see this body.
I don’t know where the bones are either.
How many years had passed since then? With his legs spread out and his back leaning against a rock, all his clothes had been corroded. Mo Zhi looked up and down and said, "I don't know who this person was when he was alive, but just looking at this skeleton, it seems...
Very tall."
Meng Xueqing's fear was still there and she didn't dare to take another look. She whispered: "Brother Mo, let's go. It's too scary to see these corpses lying here."
Mo Zhi said: "He is just a poor man. Since he was found here by us, we bury him as our last tribute to our senior."
After hearing this, Meng Xueqing thought for a moment and felt that this was a good statement. She nodded and said, "In that case, we will bury him. However, the wind and snow have not stopped at the moment. Why not carry the senior out first?"
Mo Zhi nodded in agreement, and then asked: "This place is already located in a deep valley, who can come here?"
Meng Xueqing thought for a while and said: "If it is not around the windy season, there is no danger here. Meicheng herbal farmers often come to the valley to collect herbs. If this senior comes here to collect herbs, he happens to be blocked by the wind and snow and dies here.
, which makes sense."
Mo Zhi stopped asking, and just thought to himself: "Today I encountered dead bones on the road, but I can bury them. In the future, I will find their bodies lying around, but I wonder if there will be anyone who can collect them for me at that time?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little pity for the dead bones in front of him, so he stepped forward and bowed his head and said: "Old senior, although we don't know your identity, since we met by chance, time has flown by, and it can be considered a belated fate. Today
Night
The two of you will bury you in the ground. Whether you reincarnate early or ascend to bliss, you will eventually have a place to go. It is better than the frozen deep valley where it is difficult to enter the earth. But now that you are also trapped in this place, you have to be buried hastily. I hope your predecessors will forgive you.
.”
As Mo Zhi said this, he stepped forward to move the remains. As soon as the body moved, a soft "clang" sound was heard, and a four-foot-square iron plate fell out from the arms of the remains.
The iron plaque looked gray and glowing with a faint cold light, and it was unknown what kind of material it was made of. It had been here for countless years, but it had not rusted at all. Meng Xueqing stepped forward to take a look, and then said.
"This...this is the waist card of the ancestors of the Meng family!"
