Chapter 110 Woman in the Mountain
Although there was a fire burning, their backs were still cold. Fortunately, all four of them had worn cloaks when they went out, which helped them keep out the cold for a while.
The wind outside grew stronger and the falling snowflakes became denser. The entrance to the cave was barely blocked by the snow wall built by the darkness, but it was still possible to see clearly.
The sky outside grew darker and darker, turning from gloomy to overcast, and night quietly descended.
The wind howled, and the firewood inside the cave crackled and popped, casting a warm glow on the four people.
"Ugh, so sleepy." Suddenly, Feng Qingge raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned.
He got up, moved the large rock he was sitting on closer to the base of the rock wall, adjusted his cloak, and lay down to sleep against the rock wall.
"Let's take turns keeping watch tonight, the three of us. I'll go first," Feng Qingjue said softly, glancing at the sleeping Feng Qingge, afraid of disturbing her.
The other two nodded, having no objections, and each found a place to close their eyes and rest.
In the latter half of the night, Hei Ming took over from Feng Qingjue, and he got up and leaned against the stone wall to sleep for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Qingge, who had closed her eyes long ago, began to stir from time to time, her sleep extremely restless.
Mo Linyuan was startled awake by her movements. He looked at the person not far away, his brows furrowed, his hands and feet curled up, and he huddled in his cloak.
Helpless, he slowly got up, took off his fox fur cloak, and covered her with it.
Although, Mo Linyuan strolled to the fire, sent Hei Ming to sleep, and took the night watch himself.
Over there, having received a thick cloak, she was no longer cold, and Feng Qingge fell into a deep sleep again.
By the morning of the second day, the wind and snow had gradually stopped, and everyone gradually woke up.
Feng Qingge was the first to open her eyes, feeling a bit heavy on her body. Looking down, she felt that the things on her body looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was Mo Linyuan's cloak.
He picked up the cloak, walked to the fire, and tossed it to the man who had been sitting there all night.
"Thanks, I slept very well that night." She knew she was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night, but her mind was so foggy that she had no idea what had happened.
"The snow has stopped." Taking the cloak, Mo Linyuan looked out of the cave and said.
Feng Qingge turned her head and followed his gaze. Sure enough, the snow had stopped.
The two people's voices woke up the other two. Feng Qingjue and Hei Ming got up and looked outside. They saw that the snow that had been falling all day yesterday had not fallen a single snowflake, which was really strange.
Just then, a sound came from outside the cave. Upon closer listening, it was the sound of footsteps on the snow.
creak...creak...creak...
The footsteps grew closer, and the four people, some sitting and some standing, were all on high alert.
Just then, a woman dressed in white entered the cave. Her face was covered with a white veil, and her figure was graceful. She was clearly a great beauty.
"Oh, it's so cold, gentlemen. I've gotten lost on this mountain. I'll warm up here for a while before continuing. Please make the trip for me." As soon as the woman entered, she curtsied and spoke in a soft voice that made everyone who heard it feel weak in the knees.
"You're quite nimble, young lady." Feng Qingge nodded, looking at the woman with great interest.
The woman thanked him, then walked to the fire, removed the white veil from her face, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, her nose was delicate, and her lips were rosy red, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
If it were someone else here today, they might be deceived by the beauty before them, but these four people were all on guard and naturally would not be deceived.
"Where do you gentlemen come from?" Suddenly, the woman with her head down spoke, asking the group in a soft voice.
