Chapter 53 Walking on the snow

Mo Qi's memory was still stuck in the battle with Baimao during the day. At this moment, when he heard Mo Yu's words, he subconsciously said: "Ah, is it snowing?"

Mo Yu shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the shock to the white hair was heavier than he thought. He turned around and walked out while confirming: "Yes, heavy snow."

Opening the cave door, the night wind howled in. Mo Yu's hair flowed back, his clothes clinging tightly, he covered his brows and eyes with his hands, and walked out with difficulty.

Later, Mo Qi shivered and went down to the ground, added two pieces of wood to the fire, followed him out holding on to the wall, and closed the door with both hands.

The outside was silvery white at this time, the sky and the earth were pale, and the sky was filled with heavy snowflakes. The snow was fierce and accompanied by strong winds. In a short time, the valley was covered with snow, and everything as far as the eye could see was covered with silver.

The two of them stood at the cave door, looking extremely small. They both used their internal energy to drive away the cold, and their bodies turned white with snow.

Mo Yu raised his head, letting the wind and snow hit his face, closed his eyes and murmured: "It's time to leave."

Mo Qi patted the falling snow on his body. He originally wanted to ask his elder brother what he meant by his words, but then he thought about it and realized that it was almost time to reach the Peak Demon Meeting. Before he knew it, it had been several months, and the days were in a trance, as if it were a lifetime ago.

While sighing, there was a commotion from the stable. Mo Yu Linshen opened his eyes and shouted: "Not good." He jumped towards the stable. According to the snow, half of the stable could be flooded in one night. The horses are not afraid of the cold.

, it’s not very cold even when it snows, but it’s completely the opposite after it stops snowing.

Mo Qi followed behind, and they waved their sleeves to brush away the drifting snow on the stable railings. The horses were stamping restlessly, breathing heavily, and struggling to hold on to the reins.

The wind kept blowing and the snow kept falling. No matter how you clean it, it's futile. After a while, the snow covered it again. Mo Qi turned his head and shouted to Mo Yu: "Brother, what should I do?"

The sound was barely audible despite the wind and snow. Mo Yu frowned, lowered his head in thought, turned to look at the mouth of the valley, hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said: "We will need them in the future. We must avoid frostbite. Go into the cave and get Youqi."

, I will go outside the valley to cut some thin wood."

After receiving the order, Mo Qi didn't dare to hesitate, turned around and ran towards the cave. After a few breaths, he hurriedly came out and handed You Qi: "Brother, I'm going too."

Mo Yu originally wanted to refuse, but considering the current situation, he was very limited, so he agreed after a few words of caution.

The snow had just fallen and some of the rocks on the path were not completely submerged. The two stepped on and jumped out of the valley, not daring to stop. They jumped directly into the nearby woods and chopped down bushes as thick as their arms.

Although Mo Yu's Youwei was broken, it came from Jue Binggu's hand and was still sharp. As for Mo Qi, the Yousnake in his hand was an even sharper weapon, and it could break wood and flatten it in four or five strokes.

Without cutting too much, the two of them cut down nine branches in total, tied them with canes in the forest, cut off the heads and tails, and worked together to carry them into the valley.

The snow didn't stop, so the two horses kept setting up the stable. The two sides of the stable were crisscrossed and erected diagonally. The gaps were filled with hay branches, and some branches were planted diagonally on the ground around it. In this way, the height and width of the stable were more than twice as high, so there was no need to worry about being blocked.

Submerged in snow.

If this snow situation lasts for a few days, it will not be something that the two of them can solve. We must do our best to ensure God's will.

Back in the cave, the two of them looked tired. Mo Yu picked up half a jar of wine from the corner, poured water into the iron pot and brought it to a boil, then put the wine into the pot and boiled it, which is commonly known as boiling wine in warm water.

The physical fitness of martial arts practitioners is higher than that of ordinary people, but they have not yet reached a high level and cannot bear much cold air and moisture. Boiling wine is just the right way to remove the cold and warm the internal organs.

Mo Qi had no history of drinking alcohol. After a few sips, he fell down on the stone bed and became drunk, leaving Mo Yu alone to drink by himself.

The wine is strong in nature, and it is more likely to hit the head after it is heated. As Mo Yu drank, his eyes began to wander.

In the haze, in a grove of pink and fragrant peach trees, a middle-aged couple held each other's arms, chatting and laughing warmly while admiring the flowers.

In the pavilion not far away, a rickety old man was lying on the railing, with a kind face and snoring softly.

On the other side of the peach forest, two iron tower figures were shirtless, chopping swords and heavy swords colliding with sparks, roaring and making waves. Next to it, a bald young man was holding grass roots in his mouth, smiling evilly and shouting for encouragement.

At the end of the picture, a pale pink figure appeared, running towards him from far away, letting out silvery laughter as he jumped, approaching, crossing his hands behind his back, bending down and calling playfully: "Brother Yuxuan, hehe~"

"Xirou." In the cave, Mo Yu's eyes were blurred, and the wine jar fell to the ground with a bang. He put his hand to explore the air in front of him, smiled slightly, and finally collapsed to the ground with his head dizzy.

The fire was fierce, and among the sparks, two sparkles slid down from the corners of Mo Yu's eyes...

At the fourth watch, the snow suddenly slowed down, the howling wind subsided, and the snow flakes shrank from goose feathers to sixty-eight angles. There were several layers of snow on the roof of the stables, and the horses swung their tails and snorted freely.

The winter nights are long and the days are few, and it takes another half an hour before there is light. The sky is vast and there are only scattered snowflakes dancing. Outside Juema Valley, a green figure is gradually approaching...

Mo Yu was intoxicated in his dream, and his body suddenly shivered with cold. He murmured, struggled to open his sleepy eyes, and looked towards the entrance of the cave. He found that the door was open at the moment, and the cold wind was blowing in.

"Huh!", an unhappy voice sounded from the side.

Subconsciously looking back, he found Sun Xiangyi staring at him with a gloomy face, his nose bulging, holding the wine jar from which the two drank last night, gnashing his teeth and drinking: "The two brats are really enjoying themselves, and they actually started fighting over my love."

Wine idea!”

Mo Yu just glanced at the wine jar in the other person's hand, said calmly, got down to the ground, stretched, closed the door, and walked to the fire to add firewood.

Mo Qi was awakened by Sun Xiangyi's voice, rubbed his heavy head and exclaimed: "Mr. Sun, are you back?"

Sun Xiangyi had a bad encounter with Mo Yu. When he saw Mo Qi, he stepped forward and said bitterly: "I haven't been here for a few days, and you have been so lazy in your practice. It's a pile of mud."

Mo Qi was stunned and at a loss. There was heavy snowfall last night and he would definitely not be able to do morning exercises today. It was so short to see him again. Could it be that Mr. Sun had suffered bad luck outside and was making fun of himself.

"Okay," Mo Yu stood up in front of the fire, turned around and said contemptuously: "It's just a jar of wine, I'll let you drink as much as you want later." After saying this, he went to the water tank to scoop out water to wash.

In fact, Mo Yu knew that Sun Xiangyi would not get angry over a mere jar of wine. It was just that the Peak Demon Meeting was about to begin and the relationship between the two parties had reached a delicate moment, so they wanted to test each other.

There was no need to test it, and the result was as usual, without any discomfort. Sun Xiangyi calmly sat beside the fire, started a new jar of wine and drank it.

After Mo Qi cleaned up, he started to prepare breakfast, while Mo Yu went out to check the environment after the snow.

It snowed overnight, and it accumulated more than a foot thick. It made a creaking sound under the feet. We detoured to the stables, where the three horses were eating fodder without being affected at all. Most of the snow was blocked outside.

When we came out of the valley, we saw a blanket of snow and silence. The branches of the woods were covered with thick snow, the tips of dry grass were exposed in the bushes, and the paths were buried. I didn’t know what happened to the white-haired ones, so I had to take the time to go and take a look.

The stream was frozen. If you poke it hard with a dry branch, the branch will break but the ice will not break, which shows how thick it is. There are no traces of animals and birds around, and most of them have begun to spend the winter.

The Peak Demon Meeting is coming soon, and they should leave in the near future. The water tank in the cave is full and the food is plentiful. It is more than enough for ten days. According to Mo Yu's estimate, the three of them should leave when the snow is almost gone in two or three days.

The snow was warm and the melting snow was cold. Mo Yu was still wearing a summer singlet, his face was red and his body was shaking from the cold. He relied on his internal strength to resist, but he couldn't hold on for long. He found out the situation and quickly rushed towards the valley.

When he returned to the cave, Mo Qi had already prepared breakfast. There were three fur coats and several blankets placed on the stone bed. Seeing Mo Yu looking at it, Sun Xiangyi stood up and sat on the stone chair and said casually: "Wait a few minutes."

The snow is thinning now, so I will set off with me."

This old devil still has some conscience.

Mo Yu sighed, took the chopsticks from Mo Qi and sat down. During the meal, the three of them had no communication. Unless Sun Xiangyi revealed why he went out and what he did, these two Mo Yu would not take the initiative to go there.

ask.

The weather was cold and the ground was freezing, so there was little activity. Mo Qi followed Sun Xiangyi and stayed in the cave. Mo Yu came out of the valley after dinner and ran towards the forest. It snowed heavily last night, and he was always worried about Bai Mao and the others.

After rushing all the way, when they arrived at the monkey group's residence, they found that there was no trace of the monkeys. There was no trace of any monkey. Mo Yu carefully checked and found that there were no footprints or anything left in the surrounding area.

It is vaguely speculated that due to Bai Mao's intelligence, he should have led the tribe to change their habitat when the heavy snow fell. The monkeys like to live in trees or rocks. There are mountains a few miles east of the forest, so there is no shortage of suitable places.

Mo Yu turned around and jumped towards the mountains, hurried half a mile out of the forest and stopped in a snowdrift in the open space outside the forest.

The snow pile was rough and oval, half knee-high, and a tree stick was stuck on it. There were a few silver-white monkey hairs in the gap at the end of the stick, swaying gently in the wind.

Mo Yu pulled up the wooden stick, looked at the familiar monkey hair and smiled, then raised his head and closed his eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

Bai Mao has always cherished the white monkey hair on his forehead the most, treating it as a symbol of the monkey king. Usually, he would have to grin and dance for a long time if one of them was broken. Now, in order to prevent Mo Yu from worrying about his whereabouts, he actually pulled out several monkey hairs here.

, the meaning is self-evident.

Mo Yu knew that Bai Mao had really moved to the mountains and had not encountered any accidents. He was heartbroken and did not continue to move forward.

He would be leaving in a few days, but he couldn't help but feel reluctant to see her now. All he wanted was peace of mind, and this trip on the road to blood feud was not in vain.

Youwei took out the sheath, cut off a strand of long hair, wrapped it around the few white hairs, re-inserted the tree stick in place, and said softly: "Old Bai, I came and I left, if there is anything in the future

Maybe, I will come back to see you."

Turning around, the black clothes looked so bleak in the white snow. After a while, the figure disappeared. In the wind and snow, the white monkey fur and the long black hair were intertwined and swaying slowly.

It snowed continuously, even though it was scattered and fine, for three days in a row. It cleared up on the fourth day, was cloudy on the fifth day, half of the snow disappeared on the sixth day, and started to snow again on the seventh day.

Sun Xiangyi stood at the entrance of the cave and looked out every day. When he saw that the snow was threatening to stop, he made a quick decision and shouted into the cave with his cane: "Get ready, set off immediately!"

Mo Yu and the others had already prepared everything, waiting for a good time to set off. After hearing Sun Xiangyi's words, they each put on fur coats and robes, brought dry food and water and left the cave.

Outside the cave, Sun Xiangyi had already led the horses out. Each horse was covered with a blanket and wrapped in its hooves. When he saw the two men approaching, he threw out the reins and got on the horse.

The two took the reins, tied up the luggage, then mounted their horses and adjusted their status.

Sun Xiangyi looked at Mo Yu, who was wearing a black coat, and Mo Qi, who was wearing a green coat, with complicated eyes, and said lightly: "Are you ready?"

Mo Yu's expression straightened and he nodded in reply, and Mo Qi next to him nodded accordingly.

"Okay!" Sun Xiangyi tugged hard on the reins, clamped his legs between the horse's belly and shouted: "Let's go!" The horse struggled, neighed, and ran towards the outside of the valley with its hoofs.

Mo Yu and Mo Yu looked at each other knowingly and rode out, quickly chasing behind Sun Xiangyi.
