Chapter 1 Bai Xue

It’s snowing, and auspicious snow indicates a good harvest!The maid in the yard shouted happily, and the crisp sound was like a magpies' announcement, making people feel extra relieved when they listened.

Xue Chongxun put on his coat, opened the door and saw that the heavy snow like goose feathers was spreading down, and the yard and roof seemed to be covered with white in a flash.

This is the first snowfall in Luoyang this year.

He noticed that it was already the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye... Is the second year of Jingyun going to pass like this?

Can't tell what it feels like, are worried, fear, fear, depression and confusion?

When he was still in Jingyun's second year, he could at least have a concept of time. The change would not happen this year, and it would be fine this year; but once he entered Jingyun's third year, when would it happen?

Wandering between foresight and unforeseeability, wandering between certainty and uncertainty, the invisible and intangible hands of fate make people feel like a ray of light on their backs.

What can I do?A mortal, facing the tide of history, is like standing alone in a turbulent river. Can a few thrusts make the river flow back?

However, a voice sounded in his heart: Never accept your fate!

Sadness to spring and autumn will only make people weak; sighing will only make people feel depressed; looking around will only make people slow down!Only by maintaining strength and confidence is the most useful.

God has no love, hate and distinction. He regards all things as dogs, and his destiny depends on himself!Xue Chongxun said to himself that he heard that self-suggestions can regulate his mentality.

At this moment, Dong, who had a butterfly birthmark on his face, came from the corridor with a basin of steaming water. She looked at Xue Chongxun with loving eyes and said softly: Mr., it's cold outside, go in first, I'll wait for you to wash up.

This woman is very easy to satisfy. Xue Chongxun just doesn't dislike her and gives her good food and clothing. Even if her status is very low, she is very happy all day long, and only Xue Chongxun is left in her eyes.

The room was burning with a warm fire, and the warm breath was right behind it.Xue Chongxun said coldly: I don’t need hot water, I bring a stool to the yard.

Mr. Dong said in a daze with concern.

Xue Chongxun strode to the middle of the yard, repelled the maids and servants from both sides, and when he reached out his hand, he watched the snowflakes floating in his palms.

Dong could not disobey his intentions, so he had to move a short stool as he said.

Xue Chongxun walked to the well in the corner of the yard and began to pull out his clothes.

Dong was shocked. At first, he thought he was going to jump into the well, but immediately felt it was unlikely, so he could only look at him with gloomy eyes, not knowing what he was going to do.

Xue Chongxun quickly took off his coat and jacket, and finally pulled out his underwear, and his upper body was exposed.

The wind was very cold, and his skin immediately had goose bumps. Regardless of the clatter of his teeth, he turned around and said to Dong: Get water from the well, wait for me to take a shower, and wash it once every morning, and then go to practice martial arts.

Dong's face turned pale and hesitated: What should I do if my husband is sick?

I'll do whatever I tell you to do, don't talk nonsense, no one will punish you.Xue Chongxun gritted his teeth and said, Come on!

Xue Chongxun always said this to her, doing whatever she asked her to do. She was used to obeying him. Although she was reluctant to let Xue Chongxun suffer such a hardship for no reason, she still used a bucket to fetch water.

Xue Chongxun said: It’s okay to drip from your head, it’s fine, just survive it. I washed it in winter before, and it felt good, and my lazy habit disappeared all of a sudden.

After hearing this, Dong gritted his teeth and poured a bucket of cold water down from Xue Chongxun's head with a whistle.Xue Chongxun shouted softly and said with a smile: It’s refreshing!Come again!

At this time, Sanniang had just walked in from outside and saw Xue Chongxun sitting there naked, she was stunned at the moment, but she didn't say anything, just stood quietly under the eaves and watched him wash the cold water.

I poured a bucket of cold water down. The cold water was indeed a bit difficult when I first touched my skin, but when I held on to that moment, I couldn't feel so uncomfortable later.

Every time his mind was shivering, which was very useful because to resist the impact of the cold, his potential seemed to rise up and was full of power.

Xue Chongxun discovered Sanniang under the eaves. He was not careful and another bucket of cold water was poured down. He couldn't help but shout, and then sang loudly: Those who have ambition will succeed, and the boat will be destroyed. The hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu!

After taking a cold shower, Xue Chongxun came in and changed his clothes. He was very excited. He immediately took his servants to the school martial arts field.

It turned out that it was thought that the Flying Tigers would suspend training today, but unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, three hundred bamboo armored soldiers were standing motionless in the snow, and the snowflakes fell on them, making people like snowmen.

Tang Chaoren shouted: Don’t move like a mountain, move like a hungry wolf!

Using the evil wolf as a metaphor made Xue Chongxun a little funny, but he soon discovered that there was a cage in the distance, and there was something that really didn't know whether it was a wolf or a dog inside!

Xue Chongxun was curious and rode his horse to the cage. He saw the beast staring at him, his hungry eyes cold and green.

The general of the Flying Tiger Group who came with him said: I have been hungry for several days, and I guess I dare to eat people!After a while, Tangtuanzhi will use it to inspect the courage of the soldiers.

This livestock is interesting.Xue Chongxun looked at it in the eyes, come, open the cage, let me practice my hands with it!

Xue Lang is expensive, so you must not try to be in danger!Tang Chaoren there hurriedly advised him after hearing this.

Xue Chongxun said confidently: I can defeat a hungry wolf with my martial arts.

The soldiers were extremely surprised and looked over.They all knew that although the evil wolf was not as powerful as a tiger, he was hungry and his ferocious spirit would not lose to the King of the Beasts!

They were all martial arts practitioners, and Tang Chaoren was not a mother-in-law. After pondering for a while, he called the crossbowman to wait for a strong battle and protect him, and then he asked someone to prepare to open the cage.

He turned around and said to Xue Chongxun: My husband is ready, so I ordered the cage to be opened.

Xue Chongxun got off the horse, stood in front of the cage door, slowly pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, and said: Let's open it!

The sergeant next to him opened the cage, but the beast did not rush out immediately. He just stared at Xue Chongxun with his green eyes, shaking the variegated hair of the dust. The snowflakes on its body were suddenly shaken into powder and floated down.

Its front paw gently digged the snow and walked slowly towards the cage door. Xue Chongxun raised his sword with both hands, blocking the door, paying attention to the movement of the beast.

The soldiers did not dare to make a sound, and they were all watching this different game in the snow.

After a long time, the evil wolf had not launched an attack, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say: It must have wanted to eat it immediately to satisfy my craving. What's interesting is that even beasts can't hold back...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the evil wolf suddenly rushed a few steps, as if he was about to launch an attack. Xue Chongxun hurriedly stopped talking and focused on it.

A livestock, as if they are wise, is distracted when they hear people talking and thinks they have a chance to fight?

But the evil wolf ran two steps and retreated.

Xue Chongxun found it even more interesting. Its eyes impressed Xue Chongxun very deeply, cold, cunning, and melancholy...

Maybe these are just human speculations.

Xue Chongxun sneered, held the horizontal knife and bent down toward the cage door.

When the generals saw that he was about to go in, they hurriedly advised: It's narrow inside, the man can't use it, and the beast is not small in strength, so don't be underestimated!

Xue Chongxun said: If you don’t force it to go to the fore, it thinks it can play any tricks slowly!

The troops hurriedly pressed their bows and arrows into the gap in the cage and aimed at the wolf.

The wolf whined softly, and before Xue Chongxun could approach, he ran. When he was a few steps away, he suddenly jumped up and rushed over.

Everyone exclaimed: Xue Lang, be careful!

Huo!

Xue Chongxun shouted loudly, waved his long sword, and was about to fight, but unexpectedly, he heard a loud bang... A string sounded, and the wolf had not yet rushed to the air, and had turned into a hedgehog in the air, because of inertia.

Before Xue Chongxun could think too much, he saw something flying over and immediately slashed over. With a powerful sword and a sharp blade, the wolf cried without even screaming, and his head flew out, and his body was still thrusting over. Xue Chongxun moved his feet and avoided him sideways.

Xue Chongxun glanced at the wolf head on the ground and said depressedly: You guys have shot to death, I am like chopping a wooden stake.

Tang Chaoren said: Everyone is worried that Xue Lang will be injured and will be twitched by his claws, which is also unpleasant.

Xue Chongxun had no choice but to give up.

After a while, Tang Chaoren directed the Flying Tigers to start the team drill, divided into two strands, constantly practicing changing formations, and then each holding a wooden stick to hedge.

After practicing for a long morning, I started practicing martial arts again. The two of them fought against each other on the school field, and the field became even more lively.

Xue Chongxun also practiced martial arts, asking people to put sand in sacks to practice sandbags, and beat them several times.

Xue Chongxun went back after making a fuss at the school for a morning. As for the official business of the canal transportation yamen, he ignored it and handed it over to the scholars recruited by Liu An and Hedong.

He spent this for a while since then, spending a lot of time practicing martial arts, as if he had never been so free.

As the storm is approaching, he believes that mentality and emotions are the most important. Maintaining a positive offensive posture and self-confidence is more important than planning and strategy...

In fact, the decision-making power is in the hands of his mother, and what he can do is very limited.

After Laba Festival, the New Year is getting closer and there are drums everywhere, because the custom of beating drums can drive away the ghosts of epidemics before the New Year. We hope that the second year will have a good start, good weather and smooth harvests of the dealer.

Among the sound of drums, what Xue Chongxun heard was the thunder and thunder of war, the sound of drums urging people to fight on the eve of the battle of life and death.

Occasionally I think of the hungry wolf whose head was cut off by himself, and that gaze would linger in his heart...
