He went to climb the snow mountain and had just finished cooking pork rib porridge in a pressure cooker and was about to return to his tent when he suddenly heard a girl's cries for help.
Then he was assassinated; the gun was pointed at his forehead. How did he suddenly end up in this unfamiliar place?
Here, Yun Zhourong, having narrowly escaped death, looked in astonishment toward the sound.
The first thing that caught my eye was a man in his early twenties with short hair and exceptionally handsome features.
With deep-set eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a cool and aloof temperament like a thousand-year-old ice, he was also endowed with a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes. The extreme contrast between his righteous and wicked nature made him appear both noble and mysterious.
Yun Zhourong was stunned for a moment, then blurted out subconsciously, "You...you are Lady Snow Demon!"
In the Dasheng Dynasty, there was a legend of a snow demon, a symbol of good fortune that could bring blessings. It was said that as long as one prayed to the wind, the snow demon would quietly grant everyone's wishes.
The man in front of them was not only strangely dressed, but also appeared out of nowhere; he must be the legendary Snow Demon!
It heard her cries for help and appeared to save her!
"Boss, what happened...?"
Just then, the gate was pushed open by three bandits, who were stunned to see Ji Minxiu stepping on the leader.
Yun Zhourong immediately crawled behind Ji Minxiu, grabbed his trouser leg and begged for help, "Lord Snow Demon, please save me! They are all bandits, they want to kill me!"
"Stop playing tricks on me! I don't believe in any snow demons!"
At this moment, the three bandits finally came to their senses, replaced by boundless rage: "You dare to harm our leader, you must die!"
He brandished his longsword and slashed at Ji Minxiu.
Without time to ponder Yun Zhourong's words, Ji Minxiu quickly drew his stun gun from his waist and pulled the trigger in the face of danger.
"Bang..."
The electric shock bullet flew out and pierced the body of the bandit at the front.
"ah!"
With a scream, the bandit fell straight backward.
"Hey, what's wrong with you!"
The other two bandits helped the man up, only to find that he was stiff all over, trembling uncontrollably, and unable to speak.
"What exactly did you do...?"
"Bang..."
One of the bandits angrily questioned Ji Minxiu, only to be met with yet another electric shock grenade.
"You...you're a monster! Help!"
Seeing yet another companion fall without warning, the last bandit was filled with terror, abandoned his companion, and turned to run away.
He knocked the person down without even touching them; this is definitely sorcery!
"Bang..."
However, after running only two steps, he was also knocked down by the electric shock grenade.
Afterwards, Ji Minxiu immediately stepped forward to retrieve the stun gun and took out a climbing rope from his backpack to tie up the three fallen bandits, so as to prevent them from causing trouble again after they recovered.
"Lord Snow Demon, thank you, thank you!" Having escaped death, Yun Zhourong thanked Ji Minxiu with immense gratitude.
Looking at her strange attire and way of speaking, Ji Minxiu frowned.
This woman... seems a little off her mind?
Is he an idiot?
As a result, the next second, Yun Zhourong softly collapsed to the ground.
"Hey, are you alright?"
He stepped forward and helped her up, finding her sweating profusely, her lips pale, and her whole body trembling.
"This is hypoglycemia."
Ji Minxiu frowned, first letting Yun Zhourong lean on his shoulder, then taking out a chocolate ball from his coat pocket, peeling off the gold wrapper, and feeding it to her.
At such close range, he could see the little girl's face clearly.
Although she was disheveled and her face was dirty, her features were extremely delicate. If she were cleaned up, she would be very beautiful.
Unfortunately, something happened to him, and he became a little fool.
The feel of the fabric in his hands told him that the little girl was wearing clothes made of paper. He wondered how sick she must be to wear such random clothes.
"Um…"
Yun Zhourong finally regained consciousness and immediately noticed an indescribable, wonderful taste slowly spreading in her mouth.
The milky sweetness is tinged with a hint of bitterness, and it's crisp and fragrant when you chew it. At the same time, the silky syrup rolls on your tongue, creating a rich and complex flavor that left Yun Zhourong speechless with amazement.
"Awake? Feeling better?" Just as I was in a daze, I heard a clear, deep voice from above.
Looking up, Yun Zhourong was stunned by Ji Minxiu's godlike face so close to hers, as if in a dream. She mumbled, "Much...much better..."
She doesn't know what happened, but she suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.
It seems that it was the Snow Demon who revived her.
"I feel much better, so get up now," Ji Minxiu said calmly.
"Ah, I'm...sorry!"
Yun Zhourong realized that she was actually leaning against Ji Minxiu's chest. She almost jumped up and knelt on the ground again in fear and trepidation.
My heart was pounding, filled with gratitude and a touch of shyness.
Although the Snow Demon is a demon, she is also male, and this is the first time in her life that she has been so close to a strange man.
But to Ji Minxiu, her appearance was one of fear, like a dog that had done something wrong and had been scolded by him, cowering pitifully with its neck tucked in.
He couldn't help but sigh, then took another chocolate ball out of his pocket and handed it to her. "Here, you can eat this if you have low blood sugar again."
"Thank you very much, Snow Fairy..."
Yun Zhourong held the chocolate in her hand, nervously bowed her head, and whispered her thanks.
The unique aroma of chocolate wafted into her nostrils, and she immediately recognized it as the incredibly delicious candy she had just eaten.
At this moment, Ji Minxiu noticed a bowl on the ground, picked it up, and opened the pressure cooker.
I plan to give Yunzhou some porridge; he has low blood sugar and must be hungry.
Yun Zhourong immediately smelled the rich aroma of food and couldn't help but look up.
But they found that Ji Minxiu had disappeared at some point, and there was only a pot of steaming porridge on the ground.
She swallowed hard, then burst into tears of joy. With this porridge, her grandmother and second uncle's family would be saved!
Soon, they saw the gold paper thrown on the ground again.
"This...is gold!"
After all, she was once the eldest daughter of an earl's family, and she had seen things wrapped in gold leaf before, so she could confirm that this was real gold.
I weighed it in my hand; it was about two-tenths of an ounce.
Two cents of gold are equal to two qian of silver, which, at today's grain prices, can buy more than half a liter of rice.
Although it's not much, if we're careful with it, it'll be enough to last the five of us for two or three days.
"Thank you so much for your gift, Snow Fairy. I will remember this great kindness and will offer you incense and prayers once I have settled in!"
Yun Zhourong bowed sincerely again, then hurried back with the pressure cooker in her arms.
Panting, she returned to the dilapidated temple. The second wife lived in a side hall, and to avoid being seen by the first wife and causing trouble, she deliberately crawled back through a hole in the side.
"Grandmother, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Xiao Yuan, get up quickly, I've found something to eat."
