The next day, when Su Jin woke up groggily, she was a little confused. She had slept so soundly that she couldn't remember what year it was.

It was still pitch black in front of me, with occasional cool breezes brushing my forehead, but my back felt warm and cozy.

Oh, she went blind in the snow, Su Jin suddenly remembered.

The snow crunched underfoot, making a pleasant sound; it turned out the hunter was carrying her on his back.

The hunter's broad back felt comfortable, and there was a strange sense of familiarity about it.

Su Jin was stunned for a moment before gently saying, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

The hunter neither spoke nor stopped, his large hands firmly supporting Su Jin's legs as he lowered his back slightly and moved forward steadily.

Su Jin felt comfortable lying down, but it was still a little awkward, after all, he was a strange man.

"Put me down."

Su Jin spoke again.

The hunter shook his head, his silky hair brushing against Su Jin's face.

Su Jinxia was slightly surprised, and her brows furrowed slightly. Then she approached the hunter and sniffed, but did not smell the fragrance she remembered.

For some reason, for a moment, Su Jin thought that person had arrived.

But the air was filled with the smell of fur; it wasn't him.

Su Jinxia was too lazy to argue with the hunter. Let him carry her if he wants; she didn't want to leave anyway.

Her stomach growled again, and Su Jinxia blushed with embarrassment. Fortunately, the hunter couldn't speak and couldn't laugh at Su Jinxia.

Su Jin pretended nothing had happened and shamelessly remained silent.

Perhaps she was dizzy from hunger, Su Jin fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, I heard the sound of dogs barking.

Su Jinxia straightened up in surprise, "They're out already?"

Su Jin felt the hunter nod, and then she realized that the man had been carrying her all day.

"Put me down right now!" Su Jin struggled.

The hunter, fearing she might fall, protected her and gently placed her on the ground.

Su Jin frowned involuntarily, a strange feeling returning to her; this hunter's physical strength and arm strength seemed extraordinary.

The hunter took Su Jin's hand and wrote: Wait for me, I'm going to find a place to stay.

The hunter was about to leave when Su Jin quickly grabbed his hand. "Tell me where we are first?"

The hunter wrote: Lotus Village.

Su Jin had never heard of it, so it shouldn't be in the same area as Qijia Village, which she was originally going to.

Su Jin was somewhat worried about Zhou Chen.

"Thank you for your trouble," Su Jin said to the hunter.

The hunter withdrew his hand again and left.

Su Jin clenched her hands, lost in thought.

Su Jin heard a knock on the door and the voice of an unfamiliar woman.

"Can't you speak?"

"Blind?"

"How pitiful!"

"No need, no need to pay. My son is in the army, and his room is empty. You can stay there."

Afterwards, the hunter walked up to Su Jinxia, ​​took her arm, and led her into a courtyard.

"You can just call me Granny Qi."

“I see you two are dressed so lightly, you must be very cold. There’s just some rice porridge cooking on the stove, I’ll go get some.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxia said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandma."

"You're welcome," said Granny Qi, speaking with great enthusiasm and generosity.

A little while later, the porridge arrived. Su Jin listened intently, feeling somewhat lost. She couldn't see and didn't even know where the food was.

Just then, a stool landed in front of Su Jinxia, ​​and a moment later, a spoon was placed to Su Jinxia's lips.

Su Jin suddenly realized that the hunter was feeding her.

With a blink of her dark eyes, Su Jinxia obediently opened her mouth.

The porridge was piping hot, with some pickled vegetables in the middle. It was delicious, and it warmed my stomach instantly.

"Was Madam blind before, or did she only become blind after going to the snow mountain?" Granny Qi was also eating, her speech slightly unclear.

Su Jin smiled and replied, "You can't see it once you're in the mountains."

"That's alright, it's just temporary blindness. You'll recover in a couple of days," Granny Qi said with a smile.

Su Jin asked softly, "Does your mother-in-law know about this?"

"I know!" Granny Qi said matter-of-factly, "How could I not know? It's common knowledge; even the children from all around know it."

As soon as Granny Qi finished speaking, Su Jinxia clearly felt the person feeding her pause for a moment.

The man, being a hunter, would not know this situation.

Granny Qi continued, "We happen to have some herbs at home. I'll brew some for you in a bit. Drinking it will help you recover faster."

"Thank you, Grandma."

"Judging from the girl's accent, she's not a local, is she?" Granny Qi asked.

Su Jin nodded, "Yes, I'm not a local. I originally..."

Su Jin originally intended to stay in Qijia Village, and wanted to ask her mother-in-law how far Qijia Village was, so as to see if she could find Zhou Chen.

But he stopped himself from saying it and instead said, "I originally went up the mountain to watch the sunrise, but I accidentally rolled down the mountain."

"Oh dear, that's really too dangerous. What's so interesting about the sunrise? You young people are really reckless. And your husband, who seems like a very steady person, how can you let him act so recklessly?"

As she spoke, Granny Qi changed the subject and said to the hunter, "Your wife looks very young, so it's normal for her to be playful. You mustn't follow her in her mischief, or you'll cause trouble!"

Su Jin down...

"Grandma, he's not..."

"Eat as much as you want, eat more. We're poor and don't have much to offer you. You eat too, don't just focus on her. Although she can't speak, she's very caring." Her mother-in-law's loud voice cut off Su Jin's words.

Su Jin turned her head to the side, feeling that this person was doing it on purpose. Why serve the rice now, when she was about to explain?
