Chapter 397 A small village under the Holy Snow Mountain
A towering snow-capped mountain peak almost touches the clouds on the horizon. The snow water under the mountain gradually subsides, and a country road shuttles through the red maple forest, starting from the foot of the snow-capped mountain. Extend far away. On weekdays, on this forest path that few people have ever experienced, a boy and a girl were walking by. Judging from the direction they were walking, it seemed they were coming down from the snow-capped mountains behind them.
After recovering from their injuries in Shuiyun Stream, Bing Zhixie and Alice spent another ten days before walking out of the Holy Snow Mountain Range. Now they have arrived to the east of the Holy Snow Mountains, which is on the other side of the Danluer Plain.
“Give way, give way.” A farmer driving a snow yak cart came towards us from the path.
Alice quickly stepped aside to let the ox cart pass.
When the farmer passed by them, he stopped, looked around and asked, "Where are you from? That's the road leading to the mountains over there."
"We are..."
"We got here after getting lost in the woods." Bing Zhixie interrupted Alice and asked: "Uncle, If you walk along this road, is there a village ahead? "
"Ah, of course, my home is there," the farmer said. "You can see peace if you don't go far. The lake, our village is there."
"Thank you." Bing Zhixie and Alice bowed and continued walking along the road.
Not long after we left the red maple forest, we saw a small lake. The surface of the lake is calm and calm, with almost no ripples or ripples, so it really deserves the name "Calm Lake".
Alice stood by the lake and gazed into the distance for a while. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the nearby red forest and the calm mirror-like lake in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so quiet here. , so beautiful.”
It’s really quiet here. There is no cold wind whistling on the snow-capped mountains, and there is no bustle of people in the bustling town. There are only the sounds of birds chirping in my ears, farmers plowing, and the sounds of three or two snowy yaks yawning.
"Master, the village is over there." Alice pointed far away and could see a small village not far from the lake. The big red four-leaf windmill in the village can still be clearly seen rotating slowly.
The village is not big, it looks like there are only a dozen families. Alice followed her master on the only street in the village. From one end of the village to the other, it probably wouldn't take many steps to complete the walk.
"This village is so small. I wonder where the hotel is." Alice looked around, but she didn't see any accommodation sign on any house.
"Hey, be careful." A basin of steaming dirty water was poured on the road where Bing Zhixie and Alice were passing. The aunt in a white apron looked at them and said: " Didn’t your pants get dirty?”
Bing Zhixie shook her head and asked, “Auntie, where is the accommodation? ?"
The aunt said: "You said hotel. Our village is too small, there is no hotel."
"Ah, what should I do if there is no hotel? Qi Tian said: "It will be dark soon. After sleeping in the open for so long, I still want to have a good night's rest."
The aunt said: "The nearest town is still a long way from here. You won't be able to get there before dark, so just come to my house and stay one night."
"Is it true, aunt? "Bingzhi said evilly.
"I happen to have a small spare bedroom in my house, which you can just stay in." The aunt said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you." Alice looked at the master happily and followed him into the house.
The aunt took them to a small room in the attic on the second floor and asked, "Are you brothers and sisters?"
"No, but it doesn't matter. We can share a room." Bing Zhixie said.
The aunt smiled: "You must be a young couple, right?"
"Ah, no, no, no." Alice glanced at Bing Zhixie, with a hint of confusion on her face. Blushed and said: "He...he is my master."
The aunt saw Alice's shy look: "So that's it. You guys should take a rest first. I'll make dinner. My son will come to have dinner with me later."
"I really don't know how to thank you." Bing Zhixie bent down and said : "We have used up all our money. Here is a spar, even if it is..."
"No, no, no."
"Wait." Bing Zhixie said again: "Auntie, is there any small shop in the village? I want to buy a set of clothes or something."
The aunt said: "There is an old tailor at the east end of the village. His family There is a grocery store next to it. "
"Thank you." After the aunt left, Alice took off the big backpack on Bing Zhixie's back and asked, "Where should we go after leaving the Holy Snow Mountain?" br>
Bing Zhixie said: "The information I got from your uncle is that there may be clues about Long Ling in the Yanyang area of the Eastern Continent, but the specifics are not clear, so I want to go to the Eastern Continent first to have a look."< br>
"Eastern Continent, we are going to the Eastern Continent." Alice was a little expectant and a little excited. Having been trapped in the palace since she was a child, she just wanted to go outside and see: "But , it’s a long way from here to the Eastern Continent.”
< br>"Yes." Bing Zhixie said: "It just so happens that we can collect some other information on the way, as well as information about the woman named Joanna. By the way, Alice, why don't you go buy something?"
Alice got the master's degree The few crystal stones in his father's hand smiled and said: "Leave it to me."
I bought fur clothes, a new tent and a pan, and after washing with hot water in the bathroom, the whole Everyone feels refreshed and more energetic. Wearing a new fur coat bought from a tailor shop, my body is warm.
"Mom, I'm back. I'm starving." A little boy of seven or eight years old broke into the house. Suddenly he saw two strange brothers and sisters sitting in the house. He was stunned. He exited step by step. Outside the door, he looked around and said, "Hey, this is my home."
"Toby, come back Here we go." The aunt ran out of the kitchen: "Look, you're so dirty again. Go wash up and eat soon." "Mom, who are they? Wiping his nose with a hand covered with dirt, he blinked at the two strangers with a pair of big, smart eyes.
Alice waved and smiled: "Hello Toby, my name is Alice, and this is my master Bing Zhixie. We were traveling and passed by here. Your kind mother asked us to Have a night’s rest at your house.”
“You are traveling.” Toby suddenly asked, “Are you coming from somewhere far away?”
"Go and wash Toby quickly." The aunt said: "It is very rude to be so dirty in front of your brothers and sisters."
"Yes." Toby ran to the bathroom and scrubbed it quickly. He ran out again and said from Bing Zhixie's side: "Brothers and sisters, isn't traveling fun?"
Seeing her son being so excited, the aunt laughed and went into the kitchen again.
"Yeah." Alice nodded repeatedly: "Of course traveling is interesting, but it is also very dangerous. I have only been traveling for a year and I have encountered many, many things."
" "A year, so long." Toby exclaimed: "Sister, you must have been to many places."
"I don't." Alice said, "I'm just a trainee traveler, and my master has been to many places."
"Ah, this brother is your master, sister!" Toby looked up and down. Bing Zhixie looked at Bing Zhixie for a moment and asked: "Then...isn't my brother very amazing?"
"Well, my master is a very powerful...a very powerful magician." Alice road.
"Magician!" Toby looked at Bing Zhixie in surprise and shouted: "Mom, mom, come out quickly, come out quickly."
"What's going on? "The aunt ran out and said.
Toby said: "Mom, this brother is a magician."
"Magician?" The aunt turned her attention to Bing Zhixie...
Ten minutes later, the village Residents of more than a dozen households gathered around the only street in the village.
The residents shouted loudly: "Help me fix it, help me fix it, the crystal lamp magic circle in my living room is broken, please help me fix it quickly."
"Village The loudspeaker array at Changjia is not amplifying. Please help me check it out.”
"And me, all the water coming out of the water pipe in my bathroom is cold water, and the heating magic circle doesn't work."...
Looking at the surging villagers surrounding them, Alice really Scared and a little overwhelmed.
The area near the Arctic Circle is originally a remote area with not many people, and this small village is under the most remote Shengxue Mountains. There is no school in the village, no one knows magic at all, and there is not even a decent magician in the nearby town dozens of miles away. On weekdays, if a magic circle used in daily life is broken, asking someone to repair it would have to go to the city two hundred miles away to find someone. This time, a magician suddenly came to the village and repaired Toby's spar heater. Why not quickly invite him to your home to help repair it too.
Bing Zhixie was really hungry, and wanted to help them repair it after eating, but these villagers were too 'enthusiastic', and they all dragged him to their homes for dinner, which made him ice cold Zhixie had no choice but to agree to them building the magic circle first.
This repair lasted until around eight o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, there were not many residents in the village, otherwise there would be no rest until dawn tomorrow morning.
