I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

After leaving Ding Feng in the cave and returning to the valley, Yun Chuxiu was not surprised to find that Hua Tiegan and Di Yun were nowhere to be seen. Only Shui Sheng was left sitting there blankly. When she saw him coming, she immediately raised the knife in her hand.

"You can't do anything if you stay where you are." She was just an inexperienced little girl, and Yun Chuxiu had no prejudice against her. Seeing that there were still a few pieces of horse meat left on the shelf, he picked two large pieces and gave them to Shui Sheng, indicating that she should hide them and eat sparingly. Even if Ding Feng was not counted, there were three grown men here. If they really started fighting for food, Shui Sheng would have no chance of winning, and it would be a good thing that she was not eaten.

Although Shui Sheng was somewhat puzzled by his actions, she still obeyed his orders because it was good for her. Not long after, Di Yun came back, unable to hide his disappointment. When Hua Tiegan came back, he sat directly in front of the fire, picked up the horse meat on the rack and ate it for a while until he was full. Then he said angrily: "Damn Blood Knife Ancestor... I'm afraid we have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, when the snow melts, before we can get out of here!"

Next year's Mid-Autumn Festival... doesn't that mean there's still more than half a year left?! Shui Sheng's eyes went dark, and she felt that her future was bleak. Yun Chuxiu said, "It won't take that long."

Hearing his rebuttal, Hua Tiegan couldn't help but sneer: "Boy, have you ever been to the snowy mountains? How much do you know?"

Now that his martial arts skills have returned to normal, he naturally no longer regards Yun Chuxiu as an opponent who needs to be vigilant, and his words are no longer as kind as before. Yun Chuxiu did not refute, but just chuckled and said: "We are in the snowy mountains, with snow all year round, much colder than other places, and the snow naturally melts slowly, but outside the snowy mountains, as long as spring comes and flowers bloom, the ice and snow melt, and then human power pushes away the snow on the mountain road, and naturally a road can be opened, which will always be a few points faster than us!"

"For a person as prominent as Hua Da Xia, there will definitely be more people looking for him!"

"Not bad, not bad, you are really good at talking." Hua Tiegan felt relieved at first, but after stroking his beard and thinking for a while, his face darkened again - this kid is so confident, is he sure that someone will come to find him? What is his identity? If he lets him walk out of the snow mountain, what he saw will be made public, where will he put his face? !
He pretended to be calm and asked: "You look unfamiliar, I wonder which sect you are from?" Although no matter which sect you came from, the blame for the death of the person would be on the Blood Knife Patriarch, but he wanted to know it earlier so that he could have a better excuse.

How could Yun Chuxiu not know what he was thinking? But he had nothing to hide from others, so he replied smugly, "My master's name is Xiao Donglou!"

Who is this? Except for Di Yun who grew up in a mountain village, Hua Tiegan and Shui Sheng all showed unfamiliar expressions. But seeing that he was so proud, it really didn't seem like he was lying. Hua Tiegan couldn't help but sigh and praised him twice, and let the matter go.

At first, they were able to live in peace with each other, living on Shui Sheng's horse meat. The meat could not be divided equally, Hua Tiegan would take a large part every time, Di Yun took less and less, Yun Chuxiu did not take much, and gave all he took to Ding Feng, while he went out every day to find food, more or less, he would bring back some, roots and grass leaves hidden under the snow, some small animals with strange white fur, and even once, he brought back a few fat mice from outside.

"Ah!!" Shui Sheng screamed in fear. Seeing her reaction, Yun Chuxiu laughed. Di Yun never teased the little girl like he did. He quietly took the mouse to deal with it. After a while, Shui Sheng came to her senses and snatched it from him, roasted it, and then shared it equally between the two.

"I found a herd of sheep on the northern foothills. I'll try my luck tomorrow. Both of you come with me." Neither of them likes to talk, but Yun Chuxiu can't stand loneliness and often talks to himself. Fortunately, although Di Yun doesn't talk much, he works very efficiently. He nodded immediately after hearing this: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Shui Sheng asked him: "How do we catch the sheep? What preparations do we need?"

Yun Chuxiu smiled and said, "They are different from the sheep you ate in the past. They run faster and jump higher. They can jump from several feet high! If you get kicked by them, your bones will be broken. When the time comes, the three of us will choose one and surround it from several directions. It will have nowhere to go and we will naturally catch it. Just hold the knife."

They tacitly agreed not to call Hua Tiegan. Firstly, Hua Tiegan was proud of his status and was always unwilling to act with them. Secondly, he was too greedy. If they joined forces with him, wouldn't he take most of the mutton after the deed was accomplished?
However, when they were carrying the dead mountain goat back to the cave, they saw Hua Tiegan lying on the ground, digging at the simple grave at the entrance of the cave. Di Yun saw a pale hand dug out at his feet, and his face suddenly changed. He threw down the goat's foot and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!" Then he rushed over.

When Yun Chuxiu saw this scene, he had a feeling that "it has finally begun". Worried that Di Yun might get into trouble, he also loosened his hand and let the mountain goat fall to the ground. He motioned Shui Sheng to stay where she was, and he went around from another direction. What Hua Tiegan dug up was naturally the tomb of the Blood Knife Patriarch that Di Yun had built. Although Di Yun knew that Di Yun had committed all kinds of evil and deserved to die, after all, the man was dead, and he was saved by him. Considering his kindness, he would not sit idly by and watch Hua Tiegan's behavior. However, the latter spat at him fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about! You little pervert, you little bastard, do you really think that you are one of them just because you have been hanging out with those two little guys for a few days? I tell you, this place is where I have the final say!"

He dragged the corpse of Blood Knife Ancestor out of the snow with all his strength. He swallowed hard as he looked at the cold and hard body. Di Yun noticed that his eyes were shining and his expression was obviously abnormal. He couldn't help but shuddered and grabbed the corpse's arm, trying to snatch him from Hua Tiegan's hand: "No! Let him go! You can't... you can't...!"

He couldn't say the word "eat" at all. He felt that if he said that word, it would be like turning on some ominous switch. Hua Tiegan sneered, "Yes, I am going to eat him! If it weren't for him, how could I end up like this! He is dead now, but he can enter my stomach, become my flesh and blood, and prolong my life. Isn't this also his good fortune!"

He slapped Di Yun's chest with his palm, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, ready to kill him on the spot! Di Yun was unable to dodge in the chaos, and when he sensed the approach of his palm wind, he had to raise his hand to resist. At the critical moment of life and death, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, and a stream of hot air surged out from the acupuncture points, rushing straight up, penetrating his tendons and acupuncture points all over his body, and circulated along the veins for a week before gradually dissipating.

He didn't understand why, and didn't know what had happened to him. Hua Tiegan on the other side didn't pay attention to him at all, but was not surprised to find that at the same time he made a move, Yun Chuxiu suddenly jumped up from the side and hit his arm with a palm!

"Boy, you're here at the right time!" Hua Tiegan was very experienced in dealing with enemies. He just made a feint against Di Yun, kicked the boy far away, and then reached out to Yun Chuxiu's chest! However, Yun Chuxiu smiled slightly, turned his palm into a claw, blocked his attack, and at the same time stretched out his other hand behind his back and threw the thing in his hand at him!

...Is it snow?
Hua Tiegan thought it was a hidden weapon and subconsciously distanced himself from him, but he didn't expect that what fell to the ground was just a handful of white snow. He reacted quickly and stopped immediately. He took advantage of the attack and stretched out a hand, intending to press Yun Chuxiu's important acupoints, but the latter suddenly bent down and kicked the snow pile beside him. The white snow splashed like water and fell on the heads and bodies of the two people!
Hua Tiegan keenly noticed that the temperature around him suddenly dropped. His hand fell on Yun Chuxiu's body, but what he touched was not a human body, but a piece of hard ice! Yun Chuxiu attacked again, and also hit him with a palm, but where his palm brushed, the snow on his body turned into ice in an instant!
"This martial arts... you are the disciple of the old man!" Hua Tiegan was immediately shocked. He was also a famous knight in Jiangnan, how could he not know the martial arts of the old man? Although the old man had been living in seclusion in recent years and rarely took action, when he was young, he used thundering methods to intimidate both the black and white worlds, and was a powerful figure who started from scratch. Although Hua Tiegan had never fought with him, he had seen the tragic scenes of those troublemakers who died in his hands!
"Hey, you actually knew that?" Yun Chuxiu was surprised. Although he didn't think the old man was his master, he learned martial arts from him after all, and the favor was a fact, so it was hard to refute. Seeing this, Hua Tiegan's murderous intent burned like a raging fire.

He can't be allowed to leave alive, and he can't be allowed to see the old man alive! If he was from a small sect, even if he couldn't be killed, Hua Tiegan would have plenty of ways to shut him up. There was nothing in this snowy mountain, but after he got out, he could give him so much!

But he happened to be from the Sun Mansion. The old man loved to meddle in other people's affairs, so he must have ordered him to save Shui Sheng. If the old man knew what he had done, he would definitely be happy to see him ruined and would happily accept the power under his name!

His eyes suddenly changed, and Yun Chuxiu lost his joking mood and became serious. However, he was not very afraid of Hua Tiegan. After all, this piece of ice and snow was his natural home ground!

As expected, although Hua Tiegan had the killing intent to kill him and then eat his flesh and blood, he had no weapon at hand, and the more they fought, the colder the temperature around them became, almost to the point where his breath would freeze. Yun Chuxiu had long been accustomed to this temperature, and his movements were not affected by it, but Hua Tiegan's moves became a little slow, and not long after, he was hit on the left hand by his palm, and with a click, his entire arm immediately fell down.

"Ah..." He let out a scream, turned around and ran away without fighting. Yun Chuxiu chased after him, but after searching for a long time, he didn't see him, so he could only return to Shui Sheng and Di Yun in disappointment.

"This is going to be interesting. In the coming days, let's try not to be separated and be careful of Hua Tiegan."
