The blind young man felt the warmth from the palm of his hand and the touch of each stroke, and secretly judged, what is this word? It seems like "snow"?
The blind man didn't know that this was the first time she had left words on his palm. Ever since he met her, the communication between the two had been acquiesced.
"Is it snowing?" he asked the girl in front of him,
All I heard was a nasal hum, a low and hoarse "Yeah."
The girl cannot speak and can only pronounce simple syllables such as "um" and "ah".
The girl held his wrist, pursed her lips slightly, and continued to write in the blind man's open palm with difficulty, and looked up at the blind man from time to time.
Her face was covered with mud, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. All she could see was that her eyes were bright and clear.
When looking at the blind man, his appearance was reflected in his pupils.
The young man's eyes were tightly closed. He was around 20 years old, somewhere between a teenager and a young man. The stubble that had not been taken care of was vying to appear on his head, adding to the embarrassment and vicissitudes of life.
Her skin is fair and fair, and her facial features are pretty, but there are a few patches of dirt on her face that make her look sloppy. Her black hair is half-length and tied into a small braid, which exudes a slight odor.
He was wearing tattered clothes that had been starched and turned white, with patches here and there. His cloth shoes and leggings were muddy and cracked, leaving stains on them. He had a torn oil-paper umbrella on his back, and he didn’t know if it could be used again.
The mute girl finally finished writing. She put her fingertips together close to her lips and breathed. When she moved a little louder, a clear ringing sound came from the girl's body.
The blind man also felt the words she wrote.
[Xiya, don’t fall. 】
"It's okay, as long as you hold me, I won't fall." The blind man smiled gently and fumbled for the blind stick placed at his feet.
After picking up the blind stick, he stood up from the dry thatch that he had picked up. The tip of the stick touched the ground lightly and stretched out his hand.
The mute girl took his hand, took off the broken umbrella behind the blind man, held it up and led him out of the ruined temple and into the wind and snow.
There was heavy snow, biting cold wind, and few pedestrians on the road. Even the beggars on the roadside were not as lively as usual. They bundled up tightly and huddled together, shivering.
Several beggars heard the sound of the shriveled collision of the money bags in the blind man's arms. They looked at each other for a few times, then got up and followed behind.
The mute girl wrote a few words in the blind man's palm.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He said four words calmly, which made the mute girl feel at ease.
Then she quickly wrote something on the palm of her hand. She was a little anxious and very serious.
[Qin Xiya, don’t hurt anyone. 】
He paused for a moment, then nodded gently: "Don't worry."
Then he listened and heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
That was the sound of a younger beggar about to rush to his side.
It is clear that he is blind, but his power and speed are inconsistent with his identity.
The next moment, bright silver light flashed, and the clothes on the young beggar were scattered on the ground in a mess, with smooth cuts.
The beggar was shivering, his buttocks were trembling, and the underwear that had not been washed for several days was smelling hot and fishy. He even forgot to pick up the clothes on the ground to cover himself.
The mute girl covered her mouth and nose and grabbed the blind man's clothes.
The blind man held the stick with his left hand and the handle of the stick with his right hand, and a cold light was slowly entering the sheath.
With a "click", the staff and sword returned to its sheath, but the blind man still maintained the posture of drawing the sword.
"Guys, it's freezing cold. If the hot blood is spread all over the ground, your bones will be cold. Isn't that necessary?" the blind man said loudly.
The ill-intentioned beggars also dispersed like birds and beasts, and the naked beggar also hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground to avoid the cold and fled in a hurry.
The blind man put down his blind stick again and tapped the ground. Half of the tiny bumps on the bluestone were smoothed away by the footsteps of passers-by. However, all the tactile sensations were also transmitted to his hands through the blind stick.
Although someone was leading him, he still remembered it firmly.
"Bell, Boss Gao, do you remember it?" the blind man asked the mute girl.
"Yeah." She replied in a nasal voice.
"After I finish today, let's find a bathhouse to take a bath and warm up." Qin Xiya said softly.
"Um."
There was a bit of joy in her nasal voice, and she led him forward, her steps becoming much quicker.
The jingle bells that I carry with me jingle, jingle bells jingle, jingle bells jingle.
The blind man chuckled lightly and followed her forward with his blind stick. With a slight thought in his mind, lines of writing appeared in his "eyes".
Although he is blind, he can still "see" these handwritings.

The panel ends abruptly,
He has been watching this panel for almost three years. Although it is indeed nothing interesting, he can finally "see" it and feel comforted.
It has been almost three years since I came to this world, and the past has gradually become blurry, but fortunately I can finally go back.
Hope seems slim, like the moon in the mirror, but fortunately, I can go back.
My hometown is where I feel at ease. Although there is peace of mind here, it is not my hometown after all.
But what will happen here when we go back? He can let go of many things in this world, but he can't let go of this mute girl.
If she left, she would be alone again, just like she was then.
"Lingdang, if one day I am no longer by your side, you must take my staff and knife and protect yourself, do you understand?" Qin Xiya closed the panel and said softly.
"Humph!" The bell sounded angry. He grabbed Qin Xiya's hand and wrote something on the palm of his hand quickly and urgently.
【Don't say unlucky words! Hurry up! 】
The blind man gave a bitter smile, but still did as he was told, and made a few bah bah bah noises.
Ling Ding was shivering a little from the cold, but fortunately, she had a warm sleep last night.
But the weather was still cold at this time, so not only at night but also during the day, some Baduanjin internal energy had to be channeled to keep her away from the cold.
The two fingers of Shi Zhong gently rested on Ling Dang's wrist, and the Baduanjin's internal Qi was inputted along the veins, constantly dispelling Ling Dang's chill.
It was so warm that the bell couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
"When the time comes, you can have a good rest in Boss Gao's inn, and I'll see if there's anything else to do. Anyway, the times are bad now, so don't run around, got it?"
"Um."
Listening to the girl's nasal voice, Qin Xiya's heart softened a lot.
——
"Oh, Brother Qin, are you here? Come in, come in, warm yourself up in such a cold day." The one who spoke was Boss Gao of Yuelai Inn, and then Boss Gao teased with a smile He said, "Speaking of which, it's rare to see someone like you, Mr. Qin, take both black and white. You're both a knife-catcher and a man in blood."
"Boss Gao is joking. It's true that I am a sharpshooter, but people always have to have some side jobs to make money. No one can have too much money, right?" Qin Xiya laughed.
What is a knife catcher? To put it simply, some martial arts masters were registered with the government and wandered around catching criminals.
As for the criminals, they may be big thieves or murderers. Some have ordinary martial arts skills, while others have a large number of people, so the difficulty curves vary.
It doesn't matter whether the prisoner lives or dies, but it is better if the prisoner is alive, because that way he can exchange for more silver rewards. After taking the reward money, most of the knife hunters spend a period of time drinking and drinking, and after the death of Zui Shengmeng, they run out of money and food and continue to wander.
Although it seems satisfying, it is still a business of licking blood with the tip of a knife.
In the past nearly three years, since Qin Xiya was registered as a knife catcher, he has received not only 1,000 but also 800 in reward money. Why does he seem so poor?
Aren't you considering the future of the bell?
The money he received was exchanged for real estate. Everywhere he went, he would buy a farmhouse. He would also leave some money in the hidden part of the farmhouse so that Lingdang could remember the location. The land deeds were also kept in Lingdang's inner pocket. in case for need.
Only in this way can he feel more at ease, but his worries always outweigh his peace of mind.
Therefore, in the past three years, there have been more and more properties, but the place where the two of them live is in the Broken Temple Inn. After all, not every place has properties.
There are no real estate properties in Jianye City.
Like today, Qin Xiya rushed all the way outside Jianye City to complete the task of catching the knifeman. After escorting the prisoner to the Jianye government office, he came to the branch of Xueyilou Yuelai Inn to find Boss Gao, only to find him. However, when Boss Gao was away, he was reluctant to part with money, so he and Lingdang "spent the night" in a ruined temple.
But I think Boss Gao should be here today, and he can also take on a killer mission to supplement his food and lodging.
He also knew Boss Gao earlier, but he didn't expect that Boss Gao would be transferred to Jianye. One of the three joys in life is "meeting an old friend in a foreign country", and Boss Gao can barely be regarded as an "old friend".
As for the man in blood, it’s simple to say,
The man in blood in the blood-clothed building is simply a killer.
However, the blind man had his own moral principles in his heart, and the people he killed were all evil people.
It's normal for people who look like killers to have "quirks", as long as they can complete the killing pledge.
But the quirk of "only killing evil people" is rare in the Blood Clothes Mansion.
After contacting Boss Gao using Xueyilou's unique contact method, he came with the bell, otherwise he wouldn't have to spend the night in a ruined temple.
——
Inside the Yuelai Inn.
"Brother Qin, I, Gao, admire you as a person. However, there are no evil people in today's pledge to kill. I'm afraid you will be rejected." Boss Gao was a little sarcastic.
Hearing this, the blind man said: "Then let's arrange two adjacent rooms. We'll have a rest in Jianye tonight, try Jianye's snacks tomorrow, and wait until the snow stops melting before leaving. Isn't this convenient?"
"Of course it's convenient." Boss Gao nodded, "But brother Qin, don't be impulsive. Although there are few people in the inn, they are not easy to get along with."
"I saved it." The blind man nodded slightly, remembering what he said earlier, and asked, "Boss Gao, is there any better bathhouse in Jianye City?"
"Of course there is."
···
Qin Xiya was soaking in the pool, holding his blind stick in his arms, feeling comfortable. After all, he might not have taken a bath for a long time.
The water vapor was thick, and everyone around heard laughter and curses. There were also bath masters shouting, and there were intermittent sounds of scooping water and splashing.
The blind man's thoughts wandered, and the noise in his ears gradually faded away.
He thought about the first day he came to this world.
At that time, in the seventh year of Tianyuan, it was also a snowy day.
