Reborn in that autumn

After Ao Shijie answered, he led Xue Xiaoqi to the stone gate in the middle.

He took out the torch and the torch and lit the torch; after the torch was lit, Ao Shijie packed up the torch.

"Mr. sir, let's go in quickly!" Xue Xiaoqi urged.

"Wait a minute, ma'am," Ao Shijie stretched out his arm to stop Xue Xiaoqi and said.

"What's wrong, sir? What's the problem? Why can't I come in?" Xue Xiaoqi looked at Ao Shijie with wide eyes and asked curiously.

"It's not that we can't enter, wait a minute." After saying this, Ao Shijie walked to the mouth of the platform and waved his hand downwards, and the stirrups below were destroyed immediately.

He returned to Xue Xiaoqi by the light of the torch.

"Ms. sir, what are you doing? What are you doing with the stirrup closed?" Xue Xiaoqi asked Ao Shijie.

"Madam, how many years do you think these people have been sleeping?" Ao Shijie said to Xue Xiaoqi.

"I don't know how many years, but they should have become like this from the moment they turned into snowy mountains!"

"It seems like it's been a long time ago." Xue Xiaoqi replied, nodding.

"That's right, they should be considered dead like this!"

"And it's also in the mountains. It's better to be buried in peace."

"This mountain is covered with snow all year round. Look at the ice underneath this snowy mountain cave. The stirrups underneath were ordered by us, right?"

Xue Xiaoqi nodded and replied: "Yes."

"They have been in darkness all year round. I don't know how many years have passed. I am just letting them return to darkness. Moreover, after the fire is lit, the stirrup will burn for who knows how long. Over time, the ice here will melt."

"It will cause unexpected dangers, and we don't know whether frozen people will be resurrected. Wouldn't that increase the risk for us?"

"Let them return to darkness again, just to give them a quiet environment. If they are considered dead, we have disturbed their sleep. Many years later, people will just treat this place as a tomb."

"I understand, Mr. Xue," Xue Xiaoqi replied.

Then he clasped his hands and closed his eyes and prayed: "Brothers, my husband and I did not intend to disturb your sleep. We broke in here unintentionally. Please bless us to find a way out quickly. Thank you, brothers and sisters."

After praying, he said to Ao Shijie: "Master, let's leave here quickly!"

"Okay, let's go in!" Ao Shijie answered and opened the door, holding a torch and leading Xue Xiaoqi in.

Not far after walking with the torch, I encountered a fork in the road again.

"Ms. sir, we've hit another fork in the road. How do we go this time?" Xue Xiaoqi gestured with the sword in his hand.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll take a look again," Ao Shijie answered and gestured at the two forks in the same way again.

"Let's go this way! The flowers carved on the fork here should be inside," Ao Shijie pointed to the intersection directly ahead and said.

Xue Xiaoqi suddenly said: "Mr. sir, let's go to the left first. Don't go straight first. I suddenly want to see what is over here. Let's not go too far. Take a look and come back later."

Ao Shijie looked at Xue Xiaoqi and replied: "That's okay. I guess there's no danger over there as you mentioned. Let's look for a place where we can eat and rest for a while."

Xue Xiaoqi jumped up to Ao Shijie and said coquettishly to Ao Shijie: "Thank you, sir."

Ao Shijie scratched Xue Xiaoqi's nose dotingly and replied: "You're welcome, have you forgotten that I lost to you today? I have to listen to my lady's orders."
