We stayed at a farmer's home at the foot of the mountain that night, and were reminded of precautions for climbing the snowy mountains, such as snow blindness.

"When the sun shines on the snowy mountain, the white color people see is too bright, and suddenly everything in front of their eyes goes black, and they can't see anything."

Xu Mian asked, "Uncle, is there any good way?"

The farmer enthusiastically took out a few long black cloth strips that could slightly let in a little light, "Put this on your eyes to prevent snow blindness."

"In addition, there are Shanqiao on the snowy mountain. It is a big beast that drives together with ghosts. It is usually hard to encounter it. It depends on your luck."

Xu Mian asked in surprise: "Does Shanqiao eat people?"

"Yes, it will make strange noises, and people will have hallucinations after hearing them, and thus step into its trap."

"This is too scary."

Shi Jun comforted Xu Mian: "Don't be afraid, Mianmian, I will protect you."

"Then I hope we don't run into it."

Sleeping on the kang that night, Xu Mian was sweating and tossing and turning in the middle of the night.

"Mian Mian, are you uncomfortable?"

"This kang is too hot, I can't sleep."

Shi Jun sat up and leaned against the wall of the kang, "Come, I'll hold you to sleep, so you won't be too hot to sleep."

"Isn't this bad?"

After all, how much firewood was stuffed into the farmer's house? It was too hot.

Xu Mian was a person with extremely high requirements for sleep. If he didn't sleep at a certain time, he would feel uncomfortable all over. He had been sleepy since he was a child.

Sitting on the earthen kang, she looked like a spoiled child, whining and complaining, "Who asked you to take me out? I couldn't sleep well, sob sob sob..."

She frowned, her face flushed, and she twisted her slender waist. She wore an apricot-colored brocade undershirt, which outlined her curvy figure.

Shi Jun's Adam's apple moved, and he pulled her over.

"You will sleep very comfortably in my arms."

He placed her horizontally on his legs like a child, and held her in his slender and strong arms, rocking her gently, "Mianmian, go to sleep."

Xu Mian's mind wanted to stay away from this man, but she couldn't refuse such a good cradle, so she just woke up and talked about it.

All night long, Shi Jun sat like this and held her to sleep, her two white and tender hands scratching and rubbing randomly, causing him to be awakened just as he was squinting. When

Xu Mian woke up in the morning, she looked at him in Shi Jun's arms. On his handsome face with deep contours like a sculpture, his dark eyebrows were majestic, his long eyelashes were closed, and his peach blossom eyes were closed... When he

was asleep, he looked like a sleeping beast. Although he was in a quiet state, his body curves were full of strength.

Xu Mian asked himself if he was moved, and the answer was probably, maybe, and possibly.

Ah Yan is also very good. I shouldn't look at other men. Ah Yan, I'm sorry.

After eating corn porridge and steamed buns, Shi Jun took Xu Mian and Wei Xin and several guards to climb the snow mountain.

Xu Mian was very excited at first, but started to pant after walking for a while.

"Mian Mian, stop talking and keep your strength."

"Okay."

They covered their faces with black cloth and walked slowly, taking breaks while walking. The sun gradually disappeared.

Shi Jun said, "Oh no, it's windy, everyone must be careful of the snowballs rolling down the hillside."

Xu Mian was exhausted and had to sit down to rest. Shi Jun supported her under the armpits and walked, "Mian Mian, wait until we get to the flatter road ahead, I'll carry you, hold on a little longer."

After going around a steep snowy road, Shi Jun carefully carried her on his back and walked forward.

"Your Highness, the snow-capped mountains are beautiful, but the road is difficult to walk on. No wonder there are so few people."

"Just look forward and don't look back, then you won't be afraid."

Fortunately, after walking this section of the road, we reached a flat slope and could sit down and rest for a while.

The guards went to pick up a few branches to make a fire, but the wind was too strong to ignite the flames.

Wei Xin said, "Your Highness, the weather will change and it will be very dangerous. We have to hurry and get to the bottom of the mountain before dark." They

had no choice but to get up and continue walking. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the wind, like a ghost.

"Be careful, this is Shanqiao! Concentrate and don't be disturbed by the illusion."

Shi Jun held Xu Mian tightly, "Mianmian, don't think about anything, we can definitely defeat this monster."

"Yeah, you too."

Ghosts like Shanqiao are best at taking advantage of the most desired and feared weaknesses in people's hearts. As

Xu Mian walked, she seemed to see her mother Xue smiling at her lovingly, "Mother, wuwu, I miss you so much. My father is not good to me. He doesn't care about his daughter. Wuwuwu, I miss my mother..."

Shi Jun saw her tears streaming down her face and her expression was sad, so he shook her hurriedly, "Mianmian, wake up."

Xu Mian's eyes widened, and she saw another scene. In the shadow of swords and knives, two men were fighting each other, and every knife was going to kill each other. It was Shi Yan and Shi Jun. The two were stabbed hard by each other's sword, bleeding, but they were still fighting.

"Mian Mian is mine!"

"It was the king who betrothed her since birth. If I kill you, you who stole my love, Mian Mian will be mine!"

"You are dreaming! I will cut you into pieces!"

He stabbed the other's chest fiercely, and the bright red blood stained their robes.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Xu Mian cried and shouted, "A Yan, stop fighting..."

She watched the two people spit out blood and fall to the ground, "No, I don't want you to die, no..."

Xu Mian wailed and her legs went soft. She almost fell in the snow. Shi Jun hugged her, "Mian Mian, wake up!"

Xu Mian kept crying, and her tears froze on her cheeks into frost, and then turned into icicles.

Shi Jun covered his lips with hers, her sadness touched his heart, and his originally strong will became weak.

There was a strange cry in his ears, and a picture seemed to appear in front of his eyes. In the blazing fire, Princess Huan Qingge stretched out her hand and called him, "Jun'er, good boy."

"Mother, mother, don't go, hug your son, you miss me too, don't you?"

His chest rose and fell, his eyes were red and tears fell, seeping onto Xu Mian's cheeks.

Then Shi Jun saw a picture where Shi Yan was running with Xu Mian on a big ship. Soon the ship started to move, but he couldn't catch up with them.

"Mian Mian! Don't go!"

As the ship went farther and farther away, he was left in the black abyss, without a trace of light.

Mian Mian, you are my only light.

The two of them huddled together, trapped in the illusion.

Wei Xin came and swung his sword and smashed it heavily on the snow in front of them.

The huge vibration made Shi Jun gradually wake up. He shook Xu Mian hard, "Mian Mian, wake up!"

He covered her face with his big hands. Xu Mian seemed like an ice sculpture, still immersed in the sorrow of the illusion. She said in a hoarse voice, "Don't die, A Yan..."

Shi Jun bent down and kissed her lips, and gently caressed all the frost on her cheeks. Only then did Xu Mian slowly wake up.

She hugged his waist tightly and said in a daze: "Ayan, Prince, I don't want you to die. I hope you are all safe and live a long life..."

Shi Jun was touched and stroked her head to comfort her: "It's okay, I won't die, I will always be with you, don't worry, Mianmian."

Xu Mian felt unprecedented self-blame from this terrible illusion. She had to change their fight. What could she do?

"Okay, let's keep going and try to get down the mountain before the sun sets, so that we will be safe."

"Okay."

Xu Mian took the little puppy from Wei Xin's arms, "Ajun, you must be cold, I will hold you so you won't be cold."

After walking for a long time, they came to a new winding road, and the soil under the snow under Xu Mian's feet loosened.

"Ah!"

Shi Jun grabbed her hard, and the two of them lost their balance and rolled down together...
