After resting, everyone continued on the road. When they arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain where they were scheduled to turn back, it was indeed the afternoon as they had expected.

Everyone observed carefully along the way, but no other victims were found.

Yu Shiqi recalled the appearance of the corpse of businessman Yao Guangcheng that he found before, and secretly wondered in his mind whether he might have committed suicide. After all, when people are in extreme despair and fear, they may choose to use death to free themselves and escape.

Xilingyue watched him gesticulating with his hands on her body and probably guessed what he was thinking: "Do you think that person committed suicide?"

"I don't know. There was no trace of anyone along the way. If he was alone, it would be possible for him to commit suicide out of despair."

Xilingyue did not refute, but simply said: "If he is not alone, his companions may be highly suspicious."

Yu Shiqi looked solemn. He understood the cruel plot behind Xilingyue's words - Yao Guangcheng and his companions lost their way in the snow and wind. His companions killed him in order to possess all the survival materials to increase their hope of survival.

.

Although he didn't want to believe that such evil had really happened, he had to admit that the evil in people's hearts would never completely disappear from this world.

"If things are really like what I said, would you still want to save his companions?" When returning, Xilingyue quietly asked Yu Shiqi on the horse.

"We need to save." Yu Shiqi said firmly.

Xilingyue sneered: "Where did you come from as a kind person? Haven't you heard the story about the farmer and the snake?"

Yu Shiqi knew that she was telling a fable about good intentions that did not pay off. The farmer used his body to warm the frozen poisonous snake, but the poisonous snake bit him to death. This story has always been used to satirize those who do not distinguish between good and bad.

A foolish person who knows how to do good.

"What I mean is that he should be brought alive to the court for trial, his sins should be counted according to the law, and the government should make a fair deal." Yu Shiqi explained.

"Then what if he has connections in the government, or can use money and bribes to influence the judgment?" Xilingyue said, "Do you think there is unshakable fairness and justice in this world? It can be governed by just paper with laws written on it.

What a good country?”

Yu Shiqi was speechless. He wanted to say that there is unshakable fairness and justice in this world, such as the Yunzhong Sword of the Huangwu Sect, but he hesitated in the face of Xilingyue's sharp eyes, because he thought that in Xilingyue's heart there must be no

Accept your own ideas.

The conversation between the two stopped suddenly, but Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe shouted out in unison: "There is someone in front!"

Yu Shiqi and Xiling Yue looked forward at the same time. In front of them was a long downhill slope. There were a few trees sparsely growing on the snowfield below. A man was climbing on the tallest tree, and there was a bird at the bottom.

The wolf is circling the tree.

"Let's go rescue people quickly." After Yu Shiqi finished speaking, he wanted to urge his horse forward, but Xilingyue on the side held his reins firmly.

"Wait a minute! You have seen clearly!" Xilingyue not only refused to let Yu Shiqi go, but also shouted to stop Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe.

Seeing that the three people were confused, she said, "Did you see that? What is that person holding in his hand?"

"It seems like a little wolf cub..." Wang Zhongsheng murmured.

"He took the initiative to provoke the wolf." After Xilingyue said this, he asked the three of them: "Why should we sympathize with him? Isn't the female wolf underneath who is anxious to save the wolf cubs more pitiful?"

Wang Zhongsheng looked solemn: "What the young shopkeeper said is wrong. After all, the wolf is a wild beast, and the thing on the tree is a human. How can a human be compared with a wild beast?"

Xilingyue looked at the expressions of Yu Shiqi and Li Yuanhe and realized that they agreed more with Wang Zhongsheng's point of view, and she was already very unhappy in her heart.

She turned her face to one side and said angrily: "It's up to you."

Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe immediately rushed out on horseback.

Yu Shiqi still stayed beside her and asked her hesitantly: "Miss Xiling, are your Spirit Clan..."

Xilingyue shouted before him: "Yes! We, the spirit race, do not distinguish between humans and beasts. We are not your race. We are barbaric aliens. We cannot compare to the benevolent and moral education of your heavenly country! Mr. Yu, don't you keep saying that you don't have it?"

Have you forgotten the faith and oath of Yunzhongjian? Go and help save people too!"

"Why are you angry with me?" Yu Shiqi sighed, "You can even tame a ferocious snow lion. There must be a better way now."

Xilingyue looked at Yu Qiyi. She had indeed wanted to be angry with Yu Qiyi just now. She didn't expect that he could still talk to her calmly. She suddenly felt soft in her heart: "You think better than those two heroes.

"Shen Shen, it's not that I don't want to save people, I just hate that the person was so embarrassed that he refused to return the cub to the mother wolf below."

Yu Shiqi advised: "I know that the girl from Xiling is kind-hearted, and Brother Wang and the others also obey the authority in a hurry. Don't blame them. Let's go there too."

Xilingyue lowered her head and said "Okay".

When the two of them rushed over, Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe had already scared away the female wolf. Yu Shiqi saw the beast running away into the forest in the distance but frequently turning back with vicious eyes, and his heart trembled inexplicably.

The man climbing on the tree was beaming with joy because he was saved. He slid down from the tree and kept expressing his gratitude to everyone.

Xilingyue stared at the wolf cub that was held by his neck with one hand and said in a voice: "You have been saved, you can let this little thing go."

The man laughed and said: "I just dug out the wolf den and caught the little wolf cub. I was about to roast it and eat it, but the beast came after me. Why should I let him go now that he is safe?"

Xilingyue gritted her teeth, and Yu Shiqi was the first to say: "This girl has no intention of killing. If brother needs food, we can share it with you. You see..."

"Oh, that's right. Sorry, sorry, but I was too nervous in the tree just now. I seemed to have grabbed the little wolf too tightly. I'm afraid it's gone now." The man said, holding the little wolf in his hand.

Then he sent it to Xilingyue, "Girl, look at this?"

Xilingyue picked up the little wolf from the opponent's hand. The moment she took over, she already knew that the little thing was no longer alive.

She touched the back of the wolf cub's neck with her hand, her face suddenly turned as cold as ice, she put the body down without saying a word, turned around and walked away.

The man squatted down and picked it up with a smile, and said to himself: "It would be a pity to lose it. Let's bake it and share it. It is also a way to express my gratitude to the few benefactors who saved me."

Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe had never eaten wolf meat before, and they were actually eager to try it just now. However, they both saw that Xi Lingyue was already very unhappy, and they did not dare to speak out for the sake of face. Seeing that she seemed to have given up, they

Feel free to help prepare the fire.

Yu Shiqi followed Xilingyue, and the two of them walked a few steps to the side, reaching a distance where they could not communicate with Wang Zhongsheng and others.

"Miss Xiling, I know you are sad." Yu Shiqi said comfortingly behind her, "Just look at it, it's just a chance encounter, why should you be serious with that person?"

"Then do you know why I'm sad?"

"I know, that person just lied. In fact, he secretly strangled the little wolf cub to death before handing it to you." Yu Shiqi whispered.

Xilingyue turned around, her eyes were slightly flushed, and she looked at him with a bit of gratitude.

"You finally understand me for once." After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips stubbornly, but her tone made people feel unspeakably aggrieved.

Yu Shiqi was startled for a moment, and turned away, not daring to look at her anymore, because for a moment he felt that the pretty girl in front of him was really pitiful, and he almost couldn't help but want to reach out and hug her shoulders.

"Be careful with that person." He heard Xilingyue reminding him softly in his ear.

"Could it be..."

"Shh." Xilingyue told him to be silent. She suddenly leaned against Yu Shiqi's chest and leaned against him with her head tilted: "Don't talk and don't look back. He is quietly observing us under the pretense of picking up branches nearby."

The beauty in his arms was as beautiful as jade, but Yu Qi felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
