After the Legend Chapter 31: Across the Snow Mountain
Minna quickly packed her luggage with her grandpa. They will only take away some things that they can use on the journey. Some pots and pans, clothes and bedding, books and utensils, and even Xiao Tianjian's booklet full of square characters will be left behind.
Ming Na was a little bit reluctant to read the booklet. In winter, when the snow was falling and she couldn't go out, in addition to practicing magic potions, she also learned that kind of square character from her grandfather. Now she can recognize about a hundred of them. It was the only article written in square characters, and she wanted to know when she would be able to recognize it all.
She held the booklet tightly to her heart and said coquettishly to her grandfather: "Grandpa, leave this to me, it's useless for you to put it here."
Xiao Tianjian said: "This is the only thing that can prove that I have existed here. I want to keep it. After we leave, Xiao La will come over, and this can be left as a souvenir for him."
"Does Xiao La want to stay here?" Minna asked in surprise, "When will he come?" Maybe we can meet again before leaving.
Xiao Tianjian smiled and said, "We'll come over when we leave. This is what we agreed with the elves. Anyway, I can't come back. This house is more comfortable than the cave where the half-elves lived. more."
Ming Na was a little disappointed, but she put down the booklet. After thinking about it, she reopened the potion box and took out a bottle of the potion she prepared a few days ago. This is the scar removal she learned to do. Of course, the effect is not as good as that of the old magician Sennett, but according to Grandpa's own experiments, it can make the color of the scar lighter. She placed the potion prominently on the table and wrote another note as a gift for Ludlow.
Xiao Tianjian kept smiling after realizing what she wanted to do. It is a joy for him that his two descendants can get along well, although he knows that this has a lot to do with the child's young age. When Ming Na grows up to a certain age, it is hard to say whether she will still be so close to the child of her grandmother's rival.
Old Qiao walked into the door holding a pot of things and shouted: "Come and drink fish soup, fresh fish soup." Ming Na happily went up: "Uncle Qiao, what are you doing delicious? Already?" Smell the fish soup in the pot, but there is a fishy smell, faint with the smell of herbs. Ming Na pouted in dissatisfaction: "It tastes weird, what did Uncle Qiao put in?"
Lao Qiao said while scooping up the soup: "This is a good thing. I put more than a dozen kinds of herbs in it. Drinking it will not only warm the body, but also prevent the cold wind from hurting your eyes, ears, nose, and nose, even your hands and feet. You won't get frostbite. Drink it quickly, the snow-capped mountains in the north are not easy to walk, and you can walk through it safely after drinking it."
"The snow-capped mountains in the north?" Ming Na asked in confusion, "Are we going over there? Aren't we going from Phantom Town?"
Xiao Tianjian came over: "Little fool, have you forgotten? The misty wasteland is only passable from June to September every year. At other times, the poisonous mist is too thick, and I may not be able to survive it, let alone. You are just a child? There is a Grand Canyon in the west, which is completely impassable. We can only take the mountain road in the north, cross the Daxue Mountain, and go back to Edonia through the territory of Nuojia.”
Minna understood then, and hurriedly took the fish soup and drank it. She is terrifyingly cold this winter, and she must never suffer like that again. After drinking a large bowl, she realized that Grandpa hadn't touched the bowl of soup that belonged to him: "Grandpa, don't you drink it?"
Old Qiao also said: "Xiao, I know you are strong, but you have just recovered from your injury, so you may not be able to stand the cold on the snowy mountains. Let's drink a little."
Xiao Tianjian shook his head: "No need, Ming Na is a child, drinking this soup is a last resort, but I can get through it, so I don't have to drink it. Although I have almost cut off the relationship with the elves, after all, I am in On their turf, don't break their rules."
Old Joe sighed: "Although you are always annoying, your character is not bad. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't be your friend. I'll try to persuade you one more time. What's wrong, you should change it."
When Xiao Tianjian and Ming Na heard what he said, they both thought that they would never see this half-elf friend again, and they felt a little disappointed. The elf forest is closed, which means that the town of Phantom Spirit, which is located on the periphery of the forest, will also be closed to the outside world. They cannot enter, and the half-elves cannot go out.
Ming Na put down the bowl and spoon, hugged Lao Qiao and murmured: "Uncle Qiao, I can't bear you." Lao Qiao smiled and patted her head: "Uncle Qiao also can't bear you, you must be obedient in the future, Stop being naughty, you know?" Ming Na nodded sullenly.
Xiao Tianjian was silent for a while, then said, "Joe, I want to ask you for help with something, can you come out?" After that, he walked out the door. When Lao Qiao saw this, he followed him out, and the two whispered for a long time. When Ming Na was in the room, she could only hear Xiao La's name faintly, but she couldn't make out the specifics.
Xiao Tianjian talked to Lao Qiao for a while, and the latter said that he would go back to the town to inform others that Xiao Tianjian was leaving. After he left, Ming Na looked at his disappearing back from a distance, and suddenly found that something flashed in the forest, raising a silver light.
Is it Xiao La?
Ming Na hurriedly chased out and called out Xiao La's name, but there was only the sound of the wind blowing leaves. Ming Na had to go back to the house in disappointment. Seems a little sad.
The next morning, the half-elves rushed to bid farewell to Xiao Tianjian and Ming Na. They gave a lot of things as the last gift. Among them, Leif sent a large box of herbs and magic materials specializing in the Elf Forest to Ming Na. Ming Na gave him a big hug. Xiao Tianjian also thanked him specially. red again.
Waving goodbye to these enthusiastic friends, Ming Na followed her grandfather out of the elf forest. With reluctance, she turned her head to look at the emerald green one step at a time. Suddenly, she found a silver hair looming in the bushes. : "Xiao La!"
Ludlow climbed up a big tree, waved to them from a distance, wiped his face, and disappeared into the green. Minna shouted his name loudly, but he never reappeared. When she turned around, she found that Xiao Tianjian's face had returned to its former splendor, changed from the gloomy look that had been there for several months, and said to her granddaughter energetically: "Let's go, there is still a long way to go."
Minna nodded and followed him north.
As the green faded from view, they could see more and more white, unmelted snow and ice, and the air was getting colder.
Minna watched in confusion as Grandpa put on something that looked like glasses but bigger than glasses and had black lenses, and tied her eyes with a black gauze strap. The black veil is not too thick, and you can still see the surrounding things through it, but it is much darker. She felt a little unaccustomed to it and wanted to pull the strap off, but she heard Grandpa say, "Wear it, otherwise your eyes will go blind." Ming Na was startled, and obediently put her hand away.
As the terrain under their feet gradually rose, Minna began to feel some difficulty breathing. She has practiced hard in the past few months, so her leg strength is much better than when she first came here, her body is stronger, and her stature has grown taller. Therefore, after walking with Xiao Tianjian for two days, she walked with her grandfather instead. Carrying the walking rotation.
They don't move very fast. It's one aspect to accommodate the children. On the other hand, because the weather is getting warmer, the snow on the snow-capped mountains begins to melt, and an avalanche may occur at any time. The impact of footsteps on snow-capped mountains.
Also because of concerns about avalanches, they did not dare to spend the night in the cave, and they could only rest by the leeward boulder at night. It was cold at night, and they warmed by the copper stove they had taken out of the ring. The charcoal had run out, and it was burning branches from the elf forest. But these firewoods only rely on heating, they still drink cold water every day, eat dry bread, and can't eat any hot food.
Crossing over the snow-capped mountains one after another with difficulty, Ming Na looked at the boundless white peaks and felt that she would never finish her journey. She couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, we are heading west. Is it wrong? Isn't Edon in the south?"
"Just follow me, I'll be there soon." Xiao Tianjian gasped and dragged his granddaughter forward.
Finally climbed over another mountain peak. Mingna saw that the mountain range in front of the left was no longer white, but had the color of soil and moss. She knew that they had finally walked out of the snowy mountain, and their feet were soft and tired. to the limit.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianjian hurriedly pulled her up: "Don't sit down, I know you are very tired, but this is the easiest time to get into trouble, walk slowly and don't stop."
Minna had to stumble forward, and soon turned on the mountain road leading to the south. Only then did she notice that on her left hand, that is, in the southeast direction, was a deep and long canyon that stretched to the horizon, as if the earth had been split into a crack by a huge axe. The mountain walls are very smooth, and there is no place for people to stand on. The canyon is very wide, nearly 100 meters at the widest point, and the valley is bottomless. The place where she and her grandfather stood was right at the end of the crack.
Ming Na looked a little weak, and then turned to look to the right. There were tall snow-capped mountains with no tails in sight. Even birds might not be able to fly over safely.
She seemed to understand why she had to go so far west before turning south. Where she is now is the only way she can go.
Xiao Tianjian said behind her: "Isn't it amazing? I heard a story that a hero in ancient times, in order to stop the invasion of monsters, used all his strength to split this piece of land with a knife, The crack formed this canyon, and the knife became a snow mountain, and the monsters in the northern snow field can no longer threaten human beings.”
A light flashed in Ming Na's mind: "It's the story of the 'Blade of the Gods'! I heard Winnie tell it! It's here!" One of the bedside stories.
"Perhaps, I heard your mother-in-law tell your uncle, but I can't remember it." Xiao Tian's swordsman set up a pergola and looked south, "Let's go quickly, we can find a place to rest when we get to the opposite mountain. It's much warmer over there."
Minna quickly followed.
At night they found a cave on that mountain. Although the surface of the cave is permafrost, it is undoubtedly much safer than the snow mountain where an avalanche occurs when it does not move. Ming Na was eating dry food with only a little warmth, and felt that her strength was back.
Outside the cave can see the deep blue sky, clean air, no cloud cover, no black veil cover, she can see the stars in the sky, it is a scene she has never seen before, but her eyes I was soon attracted by the wonders in the canyon.
The glittering white light on the snow-capped mountains is projected into the valley. One side of the valley is frozen with ice, reflecting a soft colorful light, while the other side is purely the permafrost of black crows, the god's blade in mythology. , seems to split the land into two distinct worlds.
"It's really amazing, isn't it?" Xiao Tianjian appeared behind her at an unknown time, "The snow mountain separates the world of humans and Warcraft, while the canyon separates humans and elves. The hero in mythology, not so much It is to prevent the invasion of monsters, it is better to say that it separates three different lives. The reason why monsters invaded the elf forest is probably inseparable from the earthquake a few decades ago. Originally, these three kinds of life are in their own Live on the site without interfering with each other, and avoid a lot of disputes.”
Ming Na nodded as if she didn't understand, only to hear Xiao Tianjian continue: "This approach also makes sense, the so-called 'non-race, their hearts must be different', different races live together, always All kinds of contradictions arise. I didn’t understand this truth before, and I married Fonoya just on impulse. As a result, after living for a long time, I realized that we don’t get along in many places. Although Fonoya is very gentle, her love Some ideas, I really can't understand. It's impossible for a marriage like this to last long if one party accommodates the other. I'm so stupid that I thought I could solve this contradiction."
"Grandpa..." Ming Na began to not understand.
"When did I become so blindly confident?" Xiao Tianjian ignored it and said to himself, "When I was in college, although I was young and flamboyant, I was still an ordinary person, except for Apart from learning a little kung fu from Master, there is nothing that stands out. My heart beats faster when I see a beautiful woman, and I blush when I meet a girl. But since I came here, I seem to be a different person, why is this happening? Could it be that just because the world has changed, even the character has changed?"
"Grandpa..." Ming Na tilted her head in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Xiao Tianjian suddenly woke up from his self-talk, and smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to have someone to talk to, you don't need to understand. Go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow morning."
So Minna fell asleep in a puzzled mind.
Early the next morning, they began to continue their journey south. The mountain gradually lowered and the weather became warmer. By the time they reached a fork in the road, there were even pedestrians.
The people here look and dress differently from what Minna has seen before. Their faces were a little purple, red or black, and their skin was rough. The men had their heads covered, wearing robes with standing collars and narrow sleeves, with cloth belts wrapped around their waists several times, and thick short cloaks draped over their shoulders; Women also wear capes, but they are wearing long dresses, revealing thick trousers inside, and braids on their heads—if married women, the braids are coiled on their heads, and a thick Thick headscarf.
Judging by the way people dress, life here is not rich, many people have patches on their clothes.
Minna looked around curiously ~IndoMTL.com~ and noticed that people were also quietly looking at them. Suddenly, her stomach growled, and she realized that it was already afternoon, and hurriedly tugged at Xiao Tianjian: "Grandpa, I'm hungry, shall we find a place to eat? I want to drink hot soup." It has been six or seven days since she last ate hot food.
Xiao Tianjian was thinking about something, and woke up when he heard her words: "Okay, the road on the left is not far from..." After a pause, he suddenly changed his words, "Let's go to the right, I remember where it was. There is a village where I lived for a month when I left the Elven Forest."
No matter where Ming Na goes, she just wants to eat hot food as soon as possible, so she is good.
Just as he was about to go to the right, an aging man came from the road on the left. He hugged his body and turned the same road as them. He inadvertently raised his head and saw Xiao Tianjian, his eyes suddenly widened: "You... Are you Mr. Xiao? Oh, what a coincidence, I'm Rolle, do you remember? Rolle from Lila's neighbor!"
Xiao Tianjian also widened his eyes: "Roll?!" There is indeed such a person in memory, but he was only a young man in his twenties, how could he become so old?
He was a little worried about his old acquaintance, and hurriedly chased after him to ask. Ming Na stayed where she was, but just happened to hear the whispers of a few passersby: "...I heard that I missed it, even if it is the Devil Five, it is not the opponent of the elves."
"Also said, if they weren't stupid, how could they be frightened by the grass? So we couldn't enter the forest, so we had to take the mountain road to the north. That's a life-and-death approach!"
"Stop arguing, as long as you can get the elf's treasure, what's the point of suffering?"
Minna's eyes widened suddenly.
