In the dimly lit cave, Li Bei kept stroking the new quilt in his arms that was as soft as clouds, his eyes widened.

"What kind of fur is this made of? It's so warm and soft!"

Another young man groped for the strange thing called "Heating Machine", subconsciously pressed a few times on the raised place, and then a miraculous thing happened, a warm and dry air was blown out of the strange white thing. wind of!

They stared blankly at the humming machine, their hands and feet seemed to be frozen, and they stopped in place and did not dare to move.But in fact, the warm wind blowing out from that thing was like the scorching sun in spring, dispelling the coldness and stiffness caused by their long trek in the snow-capped mountains little by little.

They were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses, and then immediately pulled Huo Youdun over, "Look, Grandpa!"

"Grandpa, go a little further!"

"Grandpa, touch it!"

"Grandpa, there is warm air coming out of here!"

Obviously there are only three people, but they are arguing like a group of people. If before, Huo Youdun would have had a big head when faced with this irritating "grandfather" again and again, but at this moment, his expression He was also a little dazed, and it took him half a beat to react. Then he raised his callused, rough and thin hands, and slowly placed them in front of the heater. When he felt the dry and warm hot wind, he It seems that I have returned to my childhood in a trance. At that time, the old country was not called the old country. At that time, people's life was not so difficult...

"grandfather……"

When the old man came back to his senses, he saw that Li Bei and the others had already opened the box that was said to contain food, and there were packs of red things inside. Li Bei touched these things in front of him.

"Grandpa, can this be eaten?"

The old man lowered his head, and two faint golden lights appeared in his pupils. He carefully looked at the food for a long time. When Li Bei and the others were about to have the idea that there was something wrong with the food, he nodded suddenly, indicating that they could take it. .

The two young people immediately gave a small cheer, and Li Bei, who was holding the box of spicy sticks, also smiled.

"But..." The old man looked at Li Bei who was the thinnest and said, "This time, you can eat more."

Hearing this, Li Bei suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man in disbelief, "Grandpa..." He hesitated to speak.

The old man patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Eat, it's okay this time."

Li Bei lowered his head, his eyes immediately filled with two tears.

Two of the large soft quilts were spread on the floor. The young people carried up the sleeping Awei and Hoja who was still tied up. Sharing one, they are surrounded by quilts, facing the heater, with edible food in their arms, and feel that they are so happy that they are going to pass out. This is the best night they have spent in a while!

The spicy strips are packaged in plastic bags. People here have never seen such a thing, but they are not fools. After studying it, they learned to tear it along the incision. At the same time, a strong spicy aroma came out. They ate it without hesitation. The hot taste first exploded on the tip of the tongue, and it didn't take long for it to spread to the chest and abdomen. After gnawing on two or three sticks, the chest cavity was already hot, and it was so warm that people almost sweated. .

A young man said blankly: "This...is actually hotter than the strongest wine in Wangcheng!"

Another young man said: "I, I don't really want to eat it. I want to grind it into powder, and then dip some of it in steamed buns every day. It can be eaten for a long time!"

For ordinary people in the Bulao country, spices are very precious things. Although such a strong spicy taste is difficult to eat, it is worth a lot of money. No one has the heart to say "no" to such high-priced food.

As for Li Bei, he has been so absorbed in eating from the very beginning that he has completely neglected to talk. Of course, the consequence of this kind of behavior is that he was so hot that he couldn't speak after a while, and he fanned the stick out with his hand. Tongue, while unconsciously moving towards the entrance of the hole, he wanted to break off a snowball and stuff it into his mouth, so as to delay the feeling that his tongue was about to burn, but just as he stretched out his hand on the snowball, an old man came from behind him. Drink lightly, "Li Bei, what are you doing!"

Li Bei was shocked all over, and suddenly came back to his senses, he said blankly: "I... It's too hot, I want to cool off."

Old man: "If it's too spicy, bear it."

"Yes." Li Bei replied, turned around and continued to sit with his companion hugging the quilt, but his face looked both disappointed and regretful.

Watching the children fall asleep wrapped in quilts under the blowing of the heater after eating, the old man took out a pack of spicy sticks from the box, tore open the package, and handed it to Hoja's mouth.

Hoja was staring at the drowsy Awei, who had been tied up for a long time. He was trembling at first, and then he kept wandering around the faces of all the people in the cave, as if he was looking for a suitable prey. , Later, he had already begun to try to break free from the rope, with violent eyes and rude behavior, he was no longer the same person as the gentle and shy Hoja before, so his companions had to add two more ropes to him, at this time the old man would When he handed over the spicy strips, he paused, the tip of his nose twitched like an animal, then he rolled his eyes, slowly staring at the thing in the old man's hand.

"Eat!" The old man stretched forward again.

The strong spicy smell rushed into the tip of his nose, Huo Jia's eyes became fierce, his head jumped forward like a snake, and swallowed the whole bag of spicy sticks in one gulp.In the quiet cave, there was only the sound of him chewing, his thin cheeks were bulging with food, his throat kept swallowing, and he couldn't wait to swallow the food into his stomach.

But as he ate and ate, tears and snot came out of him, and his face was wrinkled into a ball, like an ugly clay figurine that had been crushed. He raised his head and said vaguely to the old man: "Okay, okay hot……"

The old man watched him silently.

After a while, the violence in Hoja's eyes gradually faded, and some clarity appeared in his eyes. He said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa."

The old man still didn't speak, just reached out and patted his head.

It was not until noon the next day that the wind and snow on the mountain stopped, and the dark clouds covering the entire snow mountain finally dispersed, revealing the long-lost sun.

The sun covered the dusty snow field, and the gray snowflakes reflected light, as if gems were buried in the snow, shining brightly.

After sleeping for most of the night and all morning, the young people woke up one after another, and saw that the snowballs blocking the cave had been removed by the old man, and the sun was shining in from outside. They immediately got up and started packing things skillfully.

The long-lost comfortable sleep made each of them refreshed, and their movements were also very neat. The seriously injured Ah Wei could stand up and walk around now, and it was strange to be surrounded by his companions for a while.

Not long after, they had already packed their bags. Among the things they bought from Chi Yishen last night, they deliberately left two quilts and a few packets of spicy strips in the cave, which was a chance for potential latecomers.

After everything was ready, Li Bei ran to the old man with the heater on his back, "Grandpa, where is Mr. Chi from yesterday?"

The old man used the knife as a cane and stood at the entrance of the cave. He looked at the distant mountains and said, "Wait a minute!"

The condition of the cave was really bad, so I went into the plane store in the middle of the night after Chiyi, no matter what mood these people were in.He got up at dawn today, and made a list of all the products that the natives of this world might need in the store, but for some reason, he felt that he seemed to be getting lazy, and his concentration was not as concentrated as before. I was about to take a short errand, and once I was disturbed by the system, I realized that I had been distracted for half an hour.

He frowned and forced himself to get his attention back before finishing the work and sending the list of needs to Blue Star.The industry in my hometown still needs to be taken care of.

After finishing all the work, he was reminded by the system again, took two steps, left the plane shop, and came to the cave in the snow mountain.For his sudden disappearance and reappearance, Huo Youdun only paused for a moment, then greeted him with normal expression.

"Mr. Chi, we are going back to Wangcheng, and I would like to invite you to accompany us."

Chi Yishen frowned slightly, and then heard the old man continue: "The road from the snow mountain to the king's city is full of dangers. I can't take these children back to the king's city safe and sound, so I ask you to be the bodyguard for this road. The salary is as follows Double the market price, what do you think?"

Chi Yi took a deep look at him, his eyes were very sharp, and he immediately saw from the old man's thin body and ragged clothes that he no longer had any moon crystals on him.His intentions were undisguised, Huo Youdun saw it, not only did not feel offended, but he was slightly relieved, this strong man obviously wanted something, and since he wanted something, it would be easy to handle.But thinking of the three words "seeking something", the old man frowned slightly again. Fortunately, there were too many grooves on his face, and this slight frown was not obvious.

Huo Youdun didn't want to offend this strong man who obviously had a bad temper, of course, he didn't dare either.

In the current dangerous situation of the Boundless Country, everyone may be doomed.If the other side of this strong man was aroused, maybe all six of them would have to die here.He considered the things he had thought about while waiting and said, "Besides, if you want to do business, the royal city is definitely better than the sparsely populated snow mountains. The old country doesn't have a lot of taxes and is very welcoming to businessmen."

Hearing this, Chi Yishen seemed to have seen a group of fat sheep rushing towards him. He was moved, but his lips moved slightly, and he said two words coldly, "Three times." As for the tax issue later, Joke, when did he pay taxes in business?

Huo Youdun didn't even hesitate, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Chi Yishen saw that he was so straightforward, and immediately wanted to increase the price temporarily, "No, it will be quadruple." He almost blurted out this sentence, but at the next moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because of this doubt, That sentence almost rolled out of the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back.

But what to do?Why is he suddenly so eager to quadruple?

Chi Yi struggled for a few seconds, but the more depressed he felt, the more intense his desire for money, he frowned, turned the corner and said, "I don't know how to use two Walk over and double at home, I will get you a car."

The old man's expression was shocked, could there be any living things in this strong man's space?This completely surpassed his cognition in the past hundred years!
