After waiting by the lake for a long time, a fish finally bit the hook. Xu Zhuchen lifted the fishing rod and took out the small fish, and Xiao Mei followed her example and took out the fishing rod. There was a "clatter" sound on the lake, and several big fish swam away in confusion, wagging their tails.
Xiao Mei was holding the fishing rod in one hand, and the other hand was holding the "Oath of One Heart" handed to them by Li Fenglong. She looked at the frozen fish beside Xu Zhuchen, then looked at the little bait she had left, and threw the hook back with some frustration.
She threw the oath of unity back into Xu Zhuchen's hand, leaned on her shoulder, and watched her slowly hang up the bait and set the hook again. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Let's be honest, Zhuchen, did you put any poison on the bait?" Magic? Why do the fish only take your bait and refuse to come to me? "
Xu Zhuchen glanced at the empty ice beside Xiao Mei and chuckled: "Maybe it's the fishing rod? Come on, let's change the fishing rod."
As she spoke, she took Xiao Mei's fishing rod in her hand. Before she could change it to her own, she felt her hand tremble and another fish was hooked.
Xiao Mei almost laughed out of anger. She simply stood up and moved around before leaving.
Xu Zhuchen didn't have time to use his inner strength to hook her and shouted: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Mei patted the hem of his clothes: "I'll go pick up some firewood nearby and grill the fish on the spot. By the time I come back, you may have caught all the fish in the lake."
As she spoke, she waved her left hand, causing a gust of snowy wind to turn over all the fish on the ground.
She still wore the blue and white snow mirror flower ring on her left hand, with Xu Zhuchen's inner energy shining brightly inside. Xiao Mei glanced at the ring, and for some reason some broken fragments appeared in his mind. She stretched out her hand to press her aching temple, feeling displeased, and turned over the frozen fish again with her hand.
The poor frozen fish on the ground were turned over and over, and they were already dead. Xu Zhuchen looked at her dumbfounded, and because he was holding the fishing rod with both hands, he couldn't comfort Xiao Mei. He could only nodded and said, "Don't go too far, or you may be caught by the snow lion."
Xiao Mei laughed a few times, then turned and entered the woods by the lake.
The woods were right across from where they were fishing. The tall coniferous forests were covered with thick snow, and they didn't know how to survive the long polar night. Xiao Mei had just fallen into the snow, and she was already covered in wet snow. She couldn't control her internal strength, so she didn't dry the snow. Not planning to risk walking on the lake at this moment, I walked along the winding shore of the lake.
Along the way, it is inevitable to see the snow mirror flowers in full bloom. Xiao Mei's sight kept taking in these crystal white flowers, and the dull pain he felt just now kept replaying in his mind. She took a few steps into the deep forest, held on to a yung pine tree, and gasped for air.
If Wei Wangban has any intentions, this is the farthest place from Xu Zhuchen.
"That's a good idea." Wei Wangban's laughter appeared in her mind, "But I really can't understand why you insist on being so nice to that liar."
Xiao Mei sneered, not planning to pay attention to her, and just crushed the snow mirror flowers under his feet. However, this kind of flower can only bloom and spread quickly in a cold environment. If the flower seeds are not destroyed, they will be killed.
"Did you really decide to live with her? Or did you deliberately suppress your memory? Did you also find that your memory did not recover so quickly when you were around her?"
"Go away."
"You want to escape? The person I know is not someone who can escape. You-"
"I told you, please get out of here."
Wei Wangfan gave a short smile: "Haha, okay then, how can I resist your idea?"
After she finished speaking, she immediately disappeared into Xiao Mei's sea of consciousness. Xiao Mei was not prepared to get rid of all the snow mirror flowers here. She suppressed the anxiety in her heart and let go of Yunsong. However, she didn't expect a large cloud of snow to suddenly fall from the crown of the tree, and it was about to fall on her face. .
She didn't have time to think about it, the inner force in her hand flew out, and a ball of flame immediately met the thick snow, evaporating it instantly.
The remaining flames did not stop, but continued to fly forward. In an instant, they ignited the pine tree she was leaning on.
Almost at that moment, the white pine tree was wrapped in flames, burning from the middle, turning into a straight black shadow in the firelight. Xiao Mei's heart seemed to be clenched, and her teeth began to tremble involuntarily. She fell to her knees and watched the flames gradually devour the pine tree. She reached out her hand in vain, trying to stop the flames in front of her, but the flames continued to burn regardless of anyone's will.
The sound of peeling and burning, the crackle of branches falling to the ground, the sound of wind, noise, and desperate cries.
A weak voice came from nowhere, calling her one after another.
"……sister……"
"……elder sister……"
"Sister...Sister! Sister, save me——"
Xiao Mei supported his body and raised his head from the snow water. She raised her face, and the firelight from the sky suddenly illuminated her eyes. Amidst the red and brilliant gold, the burning tree was charred and silent, but it ferociously wanted to reveal the mystery to her.
"Are you...who are you?"
"Sister, help me...sister...don't leave..."
In an instant, turbulent emotions rushed into her mind, like fire climbing up her body. The boiling and scorching heat brought endless fear. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't even scream. In the flames, a shadowy figure stood on the opposite side, crying, shouting, and looking at her.
It was a scene she had seen countless times, but could not connect to it no matter what. The carbonized walls of the mansion, the trees burning in the fire, the stone paths flowing with blood...the calls strangled her neck, and she only had one belief left - she was going to save that person.
Xiao Mei endured the severe pain and tried his best to crawl to the opposite side. The fierce fire had blocked her sight, and the bones and joints all over her body seemed to have been burned to a crisp.
The names belonging to the past are lingering around, but no matter how hard they are put together, they cannot be pieced together into a real name. The place that should have housed the most important people was burned with a hole. It is still unhealed and cruelly alive, with blood dripping every day, every minute, and every second.
The flames roasted the rosin, and the spicy smell of burning wood hovered in the valley. The rising fire almost burned a hole in the polar night. Xiao Mei felt a tremor, coming from the center of the earth, as if something was calling her——
My lost friend, my ancient memory.
——Xiao Mei understood in an instant that it was a call to the flags of the King of Wei and to General Jing Shuang who remained in the flag flags. She fell into the sea of consciousness again.
Xiao Mei made a quick decision and broke his finger without hesitation. In severe pain, she recalled that face——
White, soft, and young face with a little baby fat. Qi Liuhai lay obediently in front of her forehead. Her big and smart eyes were full of smiles. She was staring at Xiao Mei without blinking and shouted with a smile: "Sister!"
She couldn't help calling her name:
"Xiaoyu."
Her vision became clear, and the blazing flames turned back into the snow-white pine trees under the aurora, quietly surrounding her. Something warm embraced her, and her voice still echoed in the valley, actually causing a light rain.
Xiao Mei wiped the cold rain off his face and said, "Zhu Chen, I'm fine, just let me get up."
The person behind her did not let go. Xiao Mei turned around, but was so shocked that he froze in place.
Behind her was a "person" whose body was sore and swollen that it was almost inhuman. The man's dark clothes were in tatters, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that they were not the original color of the clothes, but the charcoal ash left by the flames.
An idea flashed in Xiao Mei's mind. She saw that the man was about to run away, so she grabbed his hand: "Your Excellency, please stay! Have I seen your Excellency somewhere before?"
The man opposite her opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he just shook his head, shed a few tears, broke away from Xiao Mei's hand and ran away.
Xiao Mei stood up to chase after him, but his feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground again. She heard Xu Zhuchen's call from far away. Xiao Mei responded: "Zhuchen!", and not long after, Xu Zhuchen appeared beside her lightly.
"Did you burn all the firewood? Why is your whole body as black as charcoal?"
After listening to Xu Zhuchen's words, Xiao Mei realized that there was a large area of ashes where he just lay. She patted the dust on her body and saw the fish in Xu Zhuchen's hands. She said with some embarrassment: "I seem to have fallen into the sea of consciousness again and did a lot of things out of control. It seems that I can't grill fish outside today." Let's go back to the peak." She subconsciously concealed the man she had just bumped into.
After Xu Zhuchen listened, he frowned because of the word "knowledge sea". She left one hand free, and an inner force poured into Xiao Mei's ring along her fingertips.
The cold inner force really effectively suppressed the restless fire in Xiao Mei's body. Xiao Mei relaxed her body and let the ice and snow flow along the ring and into her meridians. But in the flash of lightning, the words of King Wei Banner rang in her mind:
"Have you also noticed that your memory does not recover so quickly when you are around her?"
"You want to escape? Escape from your past around her?"
Xiao Mei was startled, and his internal energy went backwards, abruptly ending the process of Xu Zhuchen's teaching. Xu Zhuchen was a little surprised, but Xiao Mei showed a tired smile: "It's too cold outside, let's go back to the house first."
Xu Zhuchen follows goodness like a stream. She picked up the frozen fish, Xiao Mei picked some branches next to her, and the two walked towards the wooden house through the thick snow.
Before leaving the woods, Xiao Zhuang turned around inadvertently, only to see the man standing behind the towering pine trees, looking at her from a distance, but not saying a word.
