Standing halfway up the mountain, he looked down and saw a slope. The slope was very steep and the snow on it was very thick. The person must have slipped and fallen.
In his anxiety, Chu Huaijin staggered a few times before he could barely get close to the man.
He had heard the sound coming from close to him, but in reality, it wasn't that fast.
When he saw the person with anticipation, there was only a back facing him.
She was wearing a light green jacket, and her hair was wrapped in a green scalp. Her body was arched with some difficulty, and she was pulling the branches beside her with great effort to maintain her balance so as not to slip deeper.
Chu Huaijin stopped in his tracks and his body froze on the spot. He suddenly felt as if all the joy in his heart had turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Although he only saw a back view, he was very sure that the person was definitely not his shadow.
Her body was too short and her body was relatively thick. It was very likely that she was a hunter from the nearby mountains who came up to hunt.
He hesitated whether he should go forward or not. His ears twitched and he heard a clear voice from below."Are you alright?"
"I…I have something to do. I'm going to fall.”
"Okay, okay, okay. Don't move. I'll pull you up.”The woman's voice was like a clear spring that slowly flowed into Chu Huaijin's heart. It instantly cleansed his soul, making him feel that all 365 pores were transparent.
" Ying 'er…" He couldn't help but shout.
The woman's body stiffened, and the hand that she had just held onto the injured man almost slipped.
"Hey, that person up there, it's fine if you don't want to save me. This lady saved me out of kindness, so why are you scaring her?”The injured person raised her head and glared at him. She was scared to death just now.
Chu Huaijin lowered his head to look. It was an extremely ordinary face. Her face was very round, her eyebrows were sparse, and her eyes were small. Her lips were very thick. At this moment, she was biting her lips tightly. It was obvious that she was in great pain.
The figure wrapped in a white cloak stretched out his arms and tried to pull her up with all his might.
Unfortunately, she did not seem to have much strength. Seeing that both of them were in danger of slipping, his heart clenched tightly and he quickly reached out."I'll help you. Don't move."
He grabbed the woman in white's hand with his big hand. He noticed that her hand was cold and stiff as iron when he held it.
However, in order to save the injured person, she did not push him away.
He was a little happy as he looked in the direction she came from. That pair of slender footprints was the woman who had escaped from him in front of Lin Yu's tomb.
If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't a very convenient time, he would have removed the hood covering her face at the first possible moment.
With Chu Huaijin's help, the injured woman was quickly pulled up by the two of them.
The woman in white lowered her head to examine her and said softly,""Fortunately, it's nothing serious. It's just that my wrist was too heavy and dislocated. I'll go back and apply some herbs on it.”
Then, he reminded her in detail not to come here when the mountain was covered in snow.
"There are many snow caves here.”
The woman in white seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here.
The injured woman thanked him profusely and left. The woman in white turned around and walked down the mountain.
"Miss…Miss…is that you?”Chu Huaijin gently tugged at her sleeve, suddenly not daring to call her by her name.
He was afraid that it would not be her this time. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but be disappointed.
The woman ignored her and wrapped her hood tightly around her head.
The woman in front of him stood up straight. Her entire body was wrapped in a wide white cloak. From Chu Huaijin's direction, he could only see the woman standing under the pine tree in the snow. Unfortunately, she was facing him sideways, so he could not see her face clearly.
" Miss…" Chu Huaijin lowered his head to look at her face, but when he did, the woman had already turned around, snorted, and left unhappily.
"Miss…don't go." Chu Huaijin was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar snort.
If she were Lin Yueying, she would not speak to him like this.
At least in the ten years they had known each other, Lin Yueying had never spoken loudly to him.
The woman in white did not seem to hear him. She climbed along another snow-covered path.
Seeing her nimble movements and nimble figure, it was obvious that she often went in and out of this heavy snow.
The more Chu Huaijin looked at it, the more he felt that hope was slim.
The Lin Yueying that he knew had a gentle personality and a soft voice. Usually, even if a servant did something wrong, she would not be willing to scold him loudly. Moreover, she had been spoiled since she was young. It would be difficult for her to walk on such a road.
He still remembered the winter ten years ago, when the capital was hit by an unprecedented blizzard.
The entire capital city was submerged in snow.
He went to the Prime Minister's residence to look for her, but she was hiding in her boudoir, not even willing to leave the door.
She was afraid that the snow would be too deep and drown her. She was afraid that the snow would be too slippery and she would fall…
However, no matter how scared she was, she still forced herself to come out for him.
And now, the woman in front of him was walking lightly on some shallow snow layers. Even in those places where there was a thick pile of snow, she walked very smoothly.
Could a person really change so much in a year?
He did not believe it.
"Miss, can you tell me your name?”Chu Huaijin chased after her, constantly reminiscing about her past while asking questions.
"Miss, do you know Ying 'er? What's your relationship?”
"Miss…"
The woman turned around a clump of cedar trees and suddenly disappeared.
" Miss…" Chu Huaijin felt as if someone had used a knife to empty his internal organs. All the strength in his body was gone in an instant.
He leaned weakly against the thorny tree trunk and looked at the vast expanse of whiteness in despair.
" Ying 'er…don't leave me. I was wrong, I was terribly wrong. I regret it…" Chu Huaijin's eyes were frighteningly red amidst the white.
He looked at the layers of pine trees and shrubs that didn't leave leaves. He guessed that the woman in white must be hiding behind them. However, he didn't know the exact location. He looked at the footprints beside him and the steep slope below. He gritted his teeth and pretended to stagger. He lost his mind and rolled down.
"Ying 'er…if you go, zhen will accompany you.”His voice rose slowly as he rolled, startling the white-robed woman who was hiding at the side and watching him.
She slowly stepped forward to look at the direction he had fallen in. There was white snow rolling down below, and there were spots of yellow mud where the snow was weak, revealing the original appearance of the mountain.
Judging from his slip and his despondent voice, it seemed like he had fallen quite heavily.
She carefully slid down the branches of the hillside. In order to prevent the man from cheating, her movements were very light, lest she alarm him.
It took them a while to reach the foot of the mountain.
There was a cluster of sharp thorns under his feet. The man in a dark blue robe and a black cloak was caught in the middle of the bushes. His clothes and cloak had been torn into strips. His exposed face and hands were covered in scratches from the thorns.
Some of the wounds were so deep that bones could be seen. Blood flowed all over the ground, mixing with the white snow on the ground.
The woman in white shook her head and sighed. She gently shook off her hood…
