Chapter 25 Snowstorm

At nightfall, snow began to fall from the sky, and soon a layer of snow accumulated.

Yu Chi sat on a small bench, looking at the snow outside and asked Gu Jue.

"What time is it?"

"The end of the Xu hour, and it will soon be the Hai hour."

He stood up from the small bench and opened the door. It was pitch black outside. At this time, almost everyone in the village was asleep.

He walked into the heavy snow and opened his umbrella.

"I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village."

Gu Jue nodded and went in one direction.

...

Jiang Xinian was very obedient today. When the old woman brought her food, she ate it in big mouthfuls until she finished and returned the bowl to the old woman.

There were no extra words or extra looks, and she still looked indifferent.

The old woman thought she had come to terms with it, so she kept nagging in her ear for a long time, but in the end she didn't tie her up anymore. After all, she looked like she was dying, and she couldn't run away.

When it got dark, someone came to see her. She was also a girl who was abducted. Because she was timid and cowardly, and the man who bought her was the only one in his family, he was not unreasonable, so she was relatively free.

When Jiang Xinian was just bought back, they let this girl come, hoping that the girl would persuade her to be more aware of current affairs.

The girl didn't persuade her, she just thought she was brave because she didn't dare to run away for fear of being beaten.

She came and secretly gave Jiang Xinian a steamed bun. She came to see Jiang Xinian almost every day and secretly gave Jiang Xinian food.

"Sister Jiang, you are in pain, right? I'm sorry, I can't do anything to help you, I dare not do anything."

Her eyes turned red at this sentence. She saw the wounds on Jiang Xinian's body, and wanted to touch it but didn't dare to.

Jiang Xinian handed her a small medicine jar.

"It happened that you came. Please help me apply some medicine. I can't see from behind."

She turned her back and exposed her back. The little girl applied medicine to her .

The old woman quietly peeked inside at the door. She couldn't hear what was said inside.

When she saw this scene, she nodded, thinking that Jiang Xinian was aware of the current situation.

The old woman left without looking again.

The little girl looked at Jiang Xinian's back, and tears fell "click click" on the wooden bed. In this quiet atmosphere, it was particularly clear.

She felt that she was useless.

Jiang Xinian looked at the tree outside the window and whispered to her.

"Alan, it's almost there, it's almost there..."

Alan's hands were shaking as she applied medicine to Jiang Xinian. Her movements were very gentle. She asked Jiang Xinian with a choked voice.

"What's almost there?"

Jiang Xinian said.

"Dawn will be here soon."

...

Jiang Xinian closed her eyes and leaned against the wall. Outside the window was the thick night. A dog barked amid the sound of wind and snow.

She opened her eyes, and there was a sharp light inside. When she heard the dog barking, she took out the small porcelain bottle that Gu Jue had given her in the afternoon.

A pill was poured out from it, and she swallowed it after only a moment's hesitation.

She had a hunch that tonight would be a sleepless night.

Soon after eating it, the pain in her body disappeared, and she felt relaxed all over. In the past year, she had never felt so relaxed as she did at that moment.

She quickly got out of bed and took out a sword from the pile of hay at the door.

That was what Gu Jue had stuffed in the afternoon.

Jiang Xinian opened the door gently. It was snowing heavily outside. She was wearing thin clothes, but she didn't care. The biting cold wind couldn't stop her steps.

But as soon as she went out, she saw Wang Er, who probably got up to go to the toilet at night. He was holding up his trousers, shivering with cold, and faced Jiang Xinian head-on.

The moment he saw Jiang Xinian, he shouted, "Bitch, you want to run again."

His voice was drowned in the sound of the wind, and he quickly came towards Jiang Xinian step by step. Jiang Xinian slowly drew out the sword.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't kill you directly that time a year ago."

You are still alive today.

The sword was unsheathed, shining coldly.

The sword just barely brushed Wang Er's neck, leaving a blood mark, and Wang Er fell to the ground in fear.

He touched his neck in doubt, and felt a wet hand, which was his blood.

The head was still there.

A surge of fear in his heart.

"You, you, you are crazy!"

The scabbard was thrown to the ground by Jiang Xinian. The sword in her hand was a broken sword. She looked at the sword for a long time, and finally her eyes fell on Wang Er.

Broken sword, broken sword, but it also has a blade...

Her eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness and hatred. The broken blade pierced into Wang Er's heart, and blood splashed onto Jiang Xinian's face.

Warm.

She wiped the blood off her face. The blood of her enemies was the most inspiring thing.

"Miss Jiang, this way..."

Gu Jue's voice came from the darkness through the wind and snow. Jiang Xinian stepped over Wang Er's body and walked towards the source of the sound.

Tonight, she must leave.

There was a slight movement behind them, which was insignificant in the howling cold wind, but they all heard it.

Jiang Xinian quickened her pace following Gu Jue, just to leave quickly.

There were voices gathering behind her, and the sound of an old woman crying and shouting, which was so clear that Jiang Xinian felt happy. At the entrance

of the village stood a tall and handsome young man, holding an umbrella. When he saw them coming, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

Ahead was an abyss filled with thick darkness. Behind her, the crowd was moving and the lights were gathering. Jiang Xinian went to the darkness without hesitation.

The faint light of the fire would eventually go out, and what was waiting for her would be a hell more terrifying than the abyss. Only after she passed the abyss could she glimpse the real dawn she was looking forward to.

A torch fell at Jiang Xinian's feet, almost igniting the hem of her clothes. Her eyes fell on the torch.

With just one glance, she turned around and kicked the torch back to the crowd behind her. When she turned around, a dark fox fur cloak covered her body, bringing warmth.

The villagers gathered together, and they colluded to keep Jiang Xinian.

"I am the daughter of a general, how dare you..."

"This girl is probably a fool, how can the daughter of a general be sold here."

"She must have gone crazy."

"I am, the daughter of a general..."

...

The memories of the past flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, and Jiang Xinian closed her eyes and raised the broken sword in her hand.

When she opened her peach blossom eyes again, the determination and momentum in them were astonishing.

She pointed her sword at the villagers, her voice was very cold.

"I am the daughter of a great general. If you dare to take another step forward, you will die!"

The villagers were shocked. They had heard this sentence many times before, and they all thought that Jiang Xinian was crazy and never believed it.

This time, Jiang Xinian's momentum was like a rainbow, and it really shocked them on the spot.

Gu Jue was also stunned. He didn't expect that Jiang Xinian was the daughter of a great general.

But think about it, Xiao Yunfeng is the son of Zhenbei Hou, and he is also the border guard of Yuque Pass. His fiancée must be from a family of equal status.

Yu Chi stood at the entrance of the village, stretched out a hand from under the umbrella, caught a piece of falling snow, it was very cold.

"It's time to go, Miss Jiang. Your secret guard is waiting for you on the other side of the river. Xiao Yunfeng is also on the way."

"Go north all the way. Also, don't believe your eyes."

Jiang Xinian turned around and nodded, passing by Yu Chi. Wrapped in the wind and snow, her voice fell into Yu Chi's ears.

"See you at Yuque Pass."

Yu Chi chuckled.

"Yes, see you at Yuque Pass."

The villagers reacted and wanted to chase Jiang Xinian. Yu Chi walked to Gu Jue with an umbrella and handed him a sword.

Gu Jue didn't know where Yu Chi got it from. The sword was silver-white, with a beautiful butterfly pattern on the hilt and hollow decorations. The blade was extremely thin and the body was very light.

He took the sword and heard Yu Chi say.

"Gu Jue, stop them, don't kill them."

Gu Jue nodded. It was too easy for him to attack ordinary people. Unlike Jiang Si, Huang Fu Zhu Sha had no effect on him. After a short while, all the villagers fell to the ground, still breathing.

Gu Jue retreated to Yu Chi's side.

"They won't be frozen to death, will they?"

It was so cold.

"No, the snow will stop soon."

"Yu Chi, do you feel that there are fewer people?"

Yu Chi's red eyes fell to the ground as Gu Jue spoke. There were indeed fewer people in the pile of people lying in all directions.

He waved his hand, Gu Jue returned the sword to him, took the umbrella from his hand, and the two disappeared into the darkness, gradually moving away.

"We have done what we can do, and the rest depends on Miss Jiang herself."

Why did Gu Jue spare the lives of those people? Because they should not be the ones to judge and sentence these people.
