Chapter 48 A Cloud in the Northwest
On the snowy mountains,

A "little man" covered with thick fur was running wildly.

He looked back from time to time while running, as if he was on guard against pursuers.

He wore a thick felt hat that covered his head tightly.

He wore thick-soled cashmere cotton boots on his feet and thick bearskin gloves on his hands.

Just looking at this set of "winter" equipment, it is quite sophisticated.

No matter how strong the snow and wind are on the snowy mountain, or how fierce the north wind is, they cannot take his life.

But there was just one thing missing - we didn't bring enough dry food.

The little arms and legs ran in the snow all night and were not crushed by the frost and snow, but were ultimately defeated by the stomach.

Finally, his body swayed and he fell into a pile of snow.

In a trance, a big brown blind bear appeared in the distance of my vision.

Slowly "walked" towards him.

Yes, I just walked over.

Bears can walk standing up, so it's not surprising for him who was born in the mountains.

I wanted to cry, but my body was so weak that I couldn't even squeeze out tears.

"It's over. I'm going to be chewed up."

After muttering this in his mind, he completely fainted.

……

"Whose child is this?"

Xu Zhiqiu and Lu Xueqi, who was carried on his back, looked at each other, both of them were at a loss.

Xu bent down, reached out and turned his face, looking at him carefully.
Judging from the looks of it, he must be only five or six years old at most?

Why was he thrown in the snow?
I looked at the footprints in front of me again...Did this kid come here by himself?

It’s amazing!

I put my hand in my nose and found that it was still warm.

Xu Zhiqiu was delighted and quickly transferred some true energy to him.

After a while, the baby woke up.

Two bright eyes scanned Xu Zhiqiu, and he spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Uncle, is there anything to eat?"

Xu Zhiqiu was stunned.
"Ah? Yes."

He took out some bear jerky and handed it to him.

The kid didn't hesitate and started tearing it apart.

The dried meat was not roasted over fire and was half-cooked. It had a fishy and smelly taste, but he tasted it perfectly.

He just kept chewing his cheeks, and Xu Zhiqiu thought he was choking.

Just as I was about to hand him the water bag, the kid picked up a handful of snow from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu looked at him unkindly.

I thought to myself, this kid... why is he so wild?

After exchanging a glance with Lu Xueqi, both of them had strange expressions on their faces.

"I remember your face."

The little boy, who had eaten everything, regained his strength and stood up to brush off the snow on his body.

Then, with his hands awkwardly clasped together, he made an awkward bow towards Xu Zhiqiu.

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will come back to save you when I become an immortal. Goodbye."

When he bowed, a blue book tied to his chest was revealed.

Xu Zhiqiu had sharp eyes and spotted the three words on the cover of the book - Tao Te Ching.

The kid was about to leave after saying this, but Xu Zhiqiu grabbed him and brought him in front of him.

Like fate being pinched by the scruff of the neck,
This kitten... Oh, no, this little kid is very well behaved. He doesn't cry or make a fuss. He just looks at him with his big eyes.

"Put me down."

"I want to know whose furry kid are you who is so reckless?"

Xu Zhiqiu frowned.

"orphan?"

"Yes, father."

"So you ran away from home? Where is your home?"

"If you don't send me back, I'll tell you."

"Hey~!"

Xu Zhiqiu was almost amused.

This little bean is quite interesting.

After taking a look at the footprints on the ground, he determined the direction he came from.

It was just on the way. I made up my mind, carrying the newly weaned baby in my right hand and the lame girl on my back.

The “Golden Nanny” is now fully loaded and on the road.

…………

The snowy road is long.

Xu Zhiqiu walked for most of the day, but all he saw was a vast expanse of white land.

The north wind blew continuously on his head, as if the snowfield was endless and he was the only one walking alone in the inn.

My mood suddenly improved for no reason.

I couldn't help but yell at the top of my lungs -

"I have been dealing with the world for a long time, and my dreams have become dreams after I finish writing them. Even if the spring breeze is unwilling to cross, and the sorrow and joy are gnawing at my bones, I would rather be myself..."

"cluster!"

Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking wind interrupted his heroic and elegant mood.

In front of him, he saw a large arrow with four feathers flying straight into the ice and snow, blocking his way.

The arrow was stuck in the ground and its feathers were still buzzing, which showed how powerful it was.

Xu Zhiqiu stopped and looked into the distance.

"Crushing clusters——"

Arrows flew through the air and pierced into the ice and snow continuously, forming a circle around him within ten feet.

One has to give praise: both are great archery skills!
really,

On the high slope of the snowy field ahead, there appeared a dozen knights.

They were riding tall horses, each of them covered in animal skins, their faces weathered.

It's easy to tell at a glance that these are a group of men who drink like cows and fart like thunder.

The leader was a strikingly tall man with a physique like an iron tower and a pair of bare bronze arms.

He held an iron bow in his hand.

A chain made of bone beads of several colors hung on his chest.

It looks like the style of the barbarian witch sacrifices in southern Xinjiang.

But this is Central Plains?
Xu Zhiqiu looked at them one by one, and began to speculate in his mind——

Bandits?

Orion?

Military general?

It’s really hard to know.

But there is a possibility...

……

The tall and sturdy man held his horse's head and looked over here.

Xu Zhiqiu also looked at him, his face full of indifference.

No matter how brave a mortal is, even if he is holding a powerful bow or crossbow, it is difficult for him to pose a threat to a monk.

At this moment, the tall and strong man shouted at him -

"A cloud in the northwest sky!"

Xu Zhiqiu was stunned when he heard this, and felt a dreamlike and unreal feeling.

He replied casually:

"A crow fell into a flock of phoenixes?"

"The room is full of heroes!"

"Who is the king...who is the minister?"

"Why are you blushing?"

“Refreshed.”

"Why is it yellow again?"

"Wax for cold protection."

"Mehaha mehaha!"

"You're not done yet, are you?"

Xu Zhiqiu was unhappy, and couldn't help but pull the doll in his hand to his face and asked directly:

"Is that your father?"

"Humph."

The little kid put his hands on his chest and nodded reluctantly.

As soon as Xu Zhiqiu loosened his grip, the kid fell on his butt.

Xu then ignored him and turned around and left with Lu Xueqi on his back.

However, the tall and strong man suddenly panicked when he saw that he was about to leave, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Don't leave, benefactor!"
