It was very cold, and the goose feathers and snow were rubbing and tearing, and it fell for more than three days in a row.
A thick layer of ice condenses on the surface of the lake, and looking around, the glazed world is a vast expanse of whiteness. The Qionghua is crystal clear, and the rime is thick, like a fairyland on earth. The water quality under the ice is clear, the light and shadow are moving, and a koi is slowly swaying its posture, dexterous and agile.
The maids and servants on the shore hurried past, no one paid attention to the movement in the lake.
It’s the winter solstice, and the four kings usually don’t come here in winter, but this time they came to live in another courtyard for an unprecedented time, catching all the servants by surprise. The other courtyard at the foot of the mountain is quiet and elegant, and idlers are not allowed to enter. There were few people serving in front of him, and it seemed that the courtyard became more and more deserted and no one cared about it.
The lake water is drawn from the active spring in the back mountain, and the upper reaches are not frozen, and the water is murmuring and trickling. The koi swam around a rock in Taihu Lake and saw a flash of white light, and a small wet head emerged from the bottom of the water. Xianxian stretched out her body while climbing the stone wall with her hands, her satin-like black hair was scattered behind her shoulders, wrapping around her slender and exquisite upper body. In the snow-covered snow scene, she is the most thrilling beauty.
The water surface undulated behind him, with layers of ripples, and then a long and dazzling arc passed by, and the thin tail fin slapped in the water, fleeting. If you teach other people to see it, they will definitely scare away the three souls, that’s why she hides here, not daring to be discovered.
Following up the Hao wrist, there is a small face with pink makeup and jade carvings, as white as pear blossoms, adorned in winter. Most of her body was huddled in the water, her smooth shoulders and neck were faintly visible, drops of water hung on her wet eyelashes, and a pair of dark pupils were shining brightly, full of smiles.

A rare chance to come out, Miaomiao propped her chin on the stone, looked at the courtyard in front of her, and muttered to herself: “Are you back?”
The light and pleasant voice, like the melodious warbler’s cry from the empty valley, added a lot of vitality to this vast snow scene.
She stared blankly for a moment, her mind was full of the handsome and gentle appearance of that man, and she couldn’t help but curl her cherry lips as she thought about it. It’s been four months since he left last time, how is he doing? Did you sleep well at night, and would you go to the lake to see the night view?
Miaomiao was lying on the thick stone, with her delicate cheek against the cold stone surface, her thoughts had already drifted away… I really wanted to see him, even if I couldn’t speak, I would just watch him from afar.
It’s a pity that it can only be her extravagant wish. Wei Ling said that if others see their appearance, they will definitely cause panic, and then they will be arrested and abused… Miaomiao sighed deeply, her pretty face was full of tears It was melancholy, that’s why she didn’t dare to show her original shape in the Huxin Pavilion, and could only hide in the backyard far away.
She has lived in the Four Kings Bieyuan for more than ten years, and has never left a step. Wei Ling has already traveled all over the world, and has been to many rivers, lakes and seas. Whenever she comes back, she laughs at her ignorance. However, Miaomiao wanted to stay in the Huxin Pavilion in the courtyard and wait for the opportunity to meet that person. Even separated by a layer of sparkling water, it can fill her with joy.
Snowflakes fell from the sky like chaff, covering her body and hair in a short time. A layer of white snow covered her back, like a tunic as thin as a cicada’s wings, outlining a slender and graceful waist, curling up gracefully.
Miaomiao was lost in thought, when suddenly two figures caught her attention from the corner of the eye, and she quickly shrank behind the boulder. Water splashed everywhere, and Miaomiao’s heart beat like a drum, for fear that someone would discover her existence. Fortunately, those two people pretended to be troubled and didn’t pay attention to the situation here, and deliberately lowered their muttering to her ears.
“Do you really want to do this? What if the steward finds out…”
Another girl interrupted her hastily, “Don’t think so much, who told this girl to have a bad life, we can’t blame us!”
Just letting her wash clothes in the wind and snow for a day, she lost her breath early this morning! What a bad luck, the maid in the green coat and skirt was full of displeasure, and put the dying little **** the lakeshore, “Even if the steward finds out, it’s just as if she committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake…after all, after doing something like that, anyone would I have no face to live on.”
After finishing speaking, he spat in disdain, as if he had been contaminated with some bad luck. Together with another servant girl, she pushed the little girl into the lake. The dull sound of water falling broke the silence in the snow, and calm was restored in an instant.
Miaomiao was shocked when she heard it, and finally waited for the two to leave, and plunged into the water without thinking, and fished the murdered little girl up from the bottom of the water. The other party’s whole body was cold and stiff, and he had been out of breath for a long time, his lips were black and purple from the cold, and his beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Miaomiao has never dealt with such a scene before, she patted the girl’s cheek with trembling little hands, “You, are you still alive…”
No one responded, she sniffed the other person again, but was lifeless. Miaomiao trembled violently in fright, she didn’t know what to do for a moment, her clear and flawless eyes were wide open, she was at a loss what to do.
Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that they killed this girl… She shouldn’t have died, Miaomiao tried her best to calm her thoughts, put her arm into the other’s shoulder, and led her to another hidden water stone. After confirming that no one found it here, I dived into the lake again, and the beautiful fish tail surfaced, and the scales glowed with a shimmer, which was fleeting.

After about a stick of incense, Miaomiao showed her head again, looked left and right to find the figure of the little girl, with joy in her eyes, and swam towards that place. She greeted back, “Wei Ling, come quickly.”
A handsome and delicate young man followed, his expression was displeased, “Why are you meddling in your own business?”
Miaomiao looked back and smiled innocently, “I don’t want to die.”
Wei Ling was a little impatient when she woke her up from her sleep. This year it is rare for him not to migrate with the fish, but to stay here to accompany Miaomiao, which makes Miaomiao quite flattered. They grew up together, and Wei Ling was much smarter than her, knowing many strange things. Miaomiao felt in her heart that Wei Ling must have a way to save that poor little girl.
After inspecting the other party, he withdrew his hand expressionlessly, “I’ve been dead for too long, there is no hope.”
Wen Yan Miaomiao lowered her eyelids regretfully. Although she never knew her, she felt sympathy for what happened to her. Just thinking about whether to find a place to bury her, Miaomiao suddenly turned her head, her eyes sparkling, “I remember you came back last time and brought a medicine that can bring the dead back to life. Can that work?”
Wei Ling was suffocated, and his face changed suddenly, “I can’t.”
The last time he came back from the East China Sea, he got a very rare thing, and he couldn’t help showing it off in front of Miaomiao. Although the medicine can bring the dead back to life, it will be at the cost of another person’s soul. To put it bluntly, it is soul possession. He didn’t want to let Miaomiao go to this level. The disturbance of human beings has never had anything to do with her.
Unable to bear Miaomiao’s soft-heartedness, Wei Ling could only tell her how to use this thing, “Even if she came back to life, she would not be the original her. Besides, who is willing to abandon the original identity and use someone else? body?”
The cold wind hit the lake surface, rolling up snowflakes in bursts, and the biting chill hit, disturbing and lingering around the two of them.
Miaomiao seemed to be in a trance with her lowered eyes, and then said in a low voice after a while: “I am willing to…”
Wei Ling stared at her in surprise, her brows were lowered immediately, her voice was colder than the weather, “What stupid words are you talking about?”
The words just now almost exhausted all Miaomiao’s strength, it was her struggling from the bottom of her heart, the loudest voice… There was hope in her exhausted heart, which grew rapidly like a weed in spring, once she had this thought , no matter what.
Miaomiao raised her head timidly, and looked at Wei Ling eagerly, “I want to become a human, Wei Ling, I want to…”
Before she finished speaking, Wei Ling interrupted in a cold voice, “No.”
Probably too angry, he clenched his palm on the stone surface into a fist, and a person appeared in his mind. That person shouldn’t have appeared in her life, there was no possibility between them, but this silly girl was so focused on him that she didn’t want to bump into the south wall and not look back.
Miaomiao’s hopeful eyes dimmed gradually, and she looked at him pitifully, water drops slipped from her forehead to the corners of her eyes, and then fell into the water along her beautifully curved chin, like her tears of despair. The crystal snowflakes fell on her slender eyelashes, and they melted slowly after a blink. She was the most beautiful picture scroll in the grand scene, too beautiful to be fair, but also so fragile.
Hardly blocked, Wei Ling broke the silence and said in a difficult voice, “Is it for him?”
Knowing that the answer is yes, but insisting on listening to her. Wei Ling pulled the corner of her lips bitterly, what was he doing for?
Miaomiao’s delicate body shook, and she nodded slowly, “Yes.”
In the past, when she mentioned this matter in front of Wei Ling, he would severely reprimand her, saying that she was wishful thinking… So Miaomiao was a little afraid to tell him the truth, but she couldn’t think of any other excuses at the moment, so she hesitated to be honest admit it.
After speaking, she quietly looked at Wei Ling’s expression, how can she get him to agree? She admits that her request is too much, but, but she really wants to get close to that person…
The little hand gently opened his fist, and hooked his finger like when he was a child, staring at him with expectant eyes, “Please, Wei Ling.”
Wei Ling lowered her eyelids, raised her hand to knead the center of her brows, and blocked his deep gaze, “The medicine can only last for 90 days, after 90 days it will be difficult to keep the body as it is, you must come back before then.”
So… he agreed?
Miaomiao suddenly showed surprise, her eyes were shining brightly, and she wrapped her arms around his neck in disbelief, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, shining brightly, “I knew you were the best!”
What is ninety days?
In the past, due to her status, she couldn’t get close, but now she finally got the chance, which made her ecstatic. Miaomiao squinted her eyes happily, her lips curled up, and she felt extremely satisfied at the thought of being able to talk to him face to face. It was just a delusion just now, but now it can become a reality… Really, really great.
The soft body is pressed against Wei Ling’s chest. She is only wearing a thin layer of shirt, and Wei Ling can almost feel her concave and convex curves… Immediately, her handsome face is uncomfortable, she turns her head and speaks in a hoarse voice: “Remember to protect yourself, I can’t always be by your side like before.”
Miaomiao hummed happily, paused and said softly sincerely: “Thank you, Wei Ling.”
Wei Ling looked at the top of her head and raised her hand to rub her hair.
