Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Da Liu said, "The sun has been out for more than ten days, and even if the snow is deep, it is frozen solid, so the road is not that difficult."

"How many days will it take to turn over?" Zhou Lenghui asked.

"If everything goes well, it will only take one day." The coachman said.

These words inspired everyone, and everyone stopped talking.

That night, the group stayed in a village at the foot of the mountain and started climbing over the snow-capped mountains early the next morning.

These words inspired everyone, and everyone stopped talking.

That night, the group stayed in a village at the foot of the mountain and started climbing over the snow-capped mountains early the next morning.

Zhou's party consisted of five people, plus a guide and two escorts, making a total of eight people.

Wearing walking sticks, non-slip boots, cold-proof sheepskin hats and sheepskin jackets, we tied our belongings to the sled and dragged them, and set off towards the snow-capped mountains.

Crossing the snow-capped mountains is not that easy.

The cold wind was blowing and the ice surface was slippery.

Brothers Wei Yuande and Zhou Mingzhong are good martial arts practitioners. Zhou and Zhou Lenghui are very beautiful young ladies. They can't climb even a mountain.

"Oh, my leg~~ I'm afraid it's going to be broken." Mr. Zhou sat on the ice, hugging his knees and breathing heavily.

Zhou Lenghui started crying immediately, "Brother, I have big blisters on my feet. I really can't walk anymore, wuwuwu."

They had never suffered this kind of pain in their lives. They thought it was just walking. What was so difficult about it?
But when I started walking, I realized why it was so difficult. Every step was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Da Liu frowned and looked at the towering snow peak next to him and whispered, "Miss Zhou, please stop crying. If you cry too loudly and cause an avalanche, it will be dangerous."

Zhou Lenghui was so frightened that she quickly shut up.

Seeing that the two women couldn't move anymore, they had no choice but to untie the items on the sled and let them take turns riding the sled.

As a result, the speed slowed down a lot, and the faces of several locals looked a little solemn as they looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the west.

"It looks like we're going to spend the night in the mountains tonight." The guide wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This is not good!" Da Liu answered, "It's cold in the mountains and there are wolves. How can we survive this night?"

"You have to find a cave, otherwise it will be difficult." The guide said, "Let's do this. Xiao Li and I will go to the front to find the cave, and you will come from behind.'

"That's all we can do." Da Liu nodded.

Fortunately, a few people found a cave before dark, and there was no shortage of firewood in the mountain. It was quite safe to burn a bonfire at the entrance of the cave to guard against beasts.

"My feet hurt so much." Zhou Lenghui came to the cave and sat on a stone. She took off her shoes and socks to reveal large blisters on her feet, and she cried in pain.

Why not Zhou? She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain and said to Zhou Lenghui:
"Ah Hui, we can't bear this pain in vain. From now on, we must climb up no matter what means we use. You know, the lives of people at the bottom are like ants, and they can only be bullied and trampled on."

"Well, I understand." Zhou Lenghui nodded heavily, her slightly narrowed eyes full of determination, "Ah Hui will remember that, no matter what means I use in the future, I will climb to a high position, and I will never be subjected to what I am doing today." of suffering.”

Zhou smiled and nodded.

It was a cold night, but I managed to get through it safely.

The next day it was bright and we got up again and moved on.

Fortunately, we got out of the mountain before evening, otherwise no one would be sure whether we would be lucky enough to find a cave and spend the night safely.After descending from the mountain, we arrived at the territory of Beidi. We saw several families scattered in front of us in the vast ice and snow, and the group looked for a farmhouse to stay.

Nearly 20 days later, the group finally arrived at Frozen City, the capital of Beidi Kingdom, after going through all kinds of hardships.

As its name suggests, the frozen city is frozen into a world of ice and snow by thousands of years of snow that never melts.

The city wall of ice sculpture is tens of feet high, reflecting the dazzling light in the sun, majestic and majestic, exuding a chilly atmosphere.

"Here we are, we finally arrived at Frozen City." Wei Yuande cried with joy.

Zhou and Zhou Lenghui also burst into tears. This journey has been too difficult and no one knows what they have gone through.

After crossing the iceberg, they still couldn't find the carriage. They dragged their blistered feet with crutches and walked through the ice and snow for another five days.

The blisters burst and bled, and the blood that came out was frozen into ice and stuck to their skin. When they took off their socks, the leather straps were torn off, and the feet were no longer visible.

Now that we have finally arrived, how can we not cry with joy?
"Stop, where did you come from?" The carriage of a group of people was stopped by the guards when they entered the city gate.

Da Liu hurriedly communicated with them in dialect, saying that his master had gone to the city to do some small business, and stuffed him with a silver coin.

They could speak the local language, and they had just signed a peace contract with the Great Zhou Kingdom. The interrogation was not so strict. The guards took the money and let them into the city without even looking.

After entering the city, Zhou Lenghui and Mrs. Zhou ignored the pain in their feet. They both raised the curtains of the carriage and watched curiously.

This is the first time I have come to such a country, full of novelty.

After seeing it, I didn’t think there was anything strange about it. The building is still a wooden two-city building with cornices and glazed corners, and is carved with ancient and unique patterns.

The snow on the roof is not necessarily very thick, and it must be cleaned every day.

In addition, there are pedestrians on both sides of the street, whose clothes are very different from those in the Central Plains.

They were all wrapped up tightly in thick fur coats and hats.

The men are tall and strong, and the women are also tall and strong, walking like a tiger.

When they came to an inn, they stopped the carriage, and Mrs. Zhou and others got out of the carriage.

"Madam, it's still early, and we won't delay here any longer." Big Liu smiled at Mrs. Zhou, and cupped his hands.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Zhou not only thanked them, but also rewarded each of them with a piece of silver.

It's not that she knows how to be grateful, but she feels that it won't take long for her situation to change, to become rich again, to live a life of a master again, and to show off her wealth whenever she is happy.

"Thank you, madam." Liu and the other three were very happy after taking it over. They took turns dragging the sled to drag Zhou and Zhou Lenghui across the snow-capped mountains.

After they left, Zhou, Wei Yuande and others entered the inn.

"Come to the middle room." Mrs. Zhou said to the shopkeeper.

When he heard that Wei Yuande lived in the middle room, he was immediately unhappy, and said angrily in Zhou's ear: "Two rooms? Or middle room? Mother, you don't even have enough money for the accommodation, so why don't you give money to others for nothing?"
Mrs. Zhou also regretted that she shouldn't have been so hot-headed just now. She had to pay for food and accommodation here.

The middle room is simple and simple, but the hot water is enough, which is much better than in Beibu City.

The first thing I did after I settled in was to ask the waiter to bring hot water and take a good shower and wash my hair. After I washed myself, I felt like I had crawled out of hell again. At least I felt like a human being. (End of chapter)
