Three months later, in a small town in Beihan Province, the townspeople lived by hunting, and now they are still living a life of bartering, and the people are simple and hospitable.

At this time, it was snowing heavily, and the people on the street were wrapped in thick leather coats, and everyone's faces were red and full of smiles; With such a heavy snowfall, why was the street still so lively, and everyone refused to disperse? It turned out that the New Year was approaching, and everyone hurried to buy New Year's goods and store some grain for the winter.

In the winter of the North Han Mansion, the cold is bone-chilling, and I don't dare to go out at will without two sips of wine, at this time I can't find a trace of wild vegetables in the mountains, and even the animals have begun to hibernate.

If there is not enough food at home, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this winter, but judging from the happy expressions of the villagers, the grain of each family should be very surplus this year, otherwise it will not be taken out and exchanged with each other.

At this time, Shen Wenqiu and the five people had already entered the town, walking in the crowded crowd, Su Qingshu said: "On such a cold day, why are these people still so interested in wandering around the street." Shen Wenqiu had read more books than Su Qingshu, and he was more knowledgeable, and said with a smile: "Qingshu, they didn't come out to wander around, they were buying New Year's goods to prepare for the winter." ”

Su Qingshu shuddered and said, "I think we should hurry up and find an inn to stay for one night, otherwise, I'm afraid that we will freeze to death before we find Hanlong Pond." Fu Bo was already so cold that his teeth were fighting, if it weren't for two sips of wine to keep warm, he would have been frozen, he said inarticulately: "Yes, young master, young master Su, that's right, if we don't find an inn, we're afraid we'll have to spend the night in this snow tonight." Shen Wenqiu looked at everyone shivering coldly, and said, "It's okay, by the way, I will inquire about the specific location of Hanlong Pond." ”

Shen Wenqiu found someone and asked, "This big brother, excuse me, where is your inn here?"

The middle-aged man looked at them for a moment, and then smiled enthusiastically: "A few brothers, they are all from other places! You don't know, the conditions in this place of ours are relatively poor, everyone lives by hunting and gathering wild vegetables, and can barely be self-sufficient, how can anyone open any inns and restaurants, and there will be no outsiders in the end of the year, or you will come to my house for one night! It's almost dark, and if you don't have a place to live, it is estimated that you will not be able to leave this town." When they saw that he was friendly, they agreed, and led their horses to follow, and they chatted a little along the way, and knew that the man's name was Badru.

Badru's house is a traditional three-room thatched hut around a yard house, a vacant lot in the fence, should be a place to grow vegetables, but now it looks bare on a snowy day, and there is nothing to grow, and there is a stone table in the small courtyard, which is simply furnished.

As soon as Badru arrived at the door, he shouted, "me, there's a guest." A woman came out of the house, warmly welcomed the people into the house, led them to sit down by the fire, and brought them the special spirits of the mountains to ward off the cold.

A few people sat down, took a sip of wine to drive away the chill on their bodies, and only then did they have the opportunity to look around the environment in the house, it was also a poor family, and the three children in the family depended on Badru hunting for a living to support the family.

Badru touched his head and said with a smile: "The family is surrounded by walls, so that a few brothers can see the joke." Obviously, they were a little embarrassed, but a few people didn't mind.

Su Yunxin just took a sip of wine, and then involuntarily grabbed Wenqiu's arm in a daze, leaning on his shoulder and was drunk; Wenqiu looked at her little face and smiled, smiled awkwardly, and said to Baderu: "Neiren usually doesn't drink, and some are too strong to drink, which makes Big Brother Ba laugh, but this wine is really strong." ”

Su Qingshu didn't know how his sister became his insider, although he knew that his sister liked to ask Qiu, but when did he become his wife, he wanted to say a few words, but he also knew that now was not the time to say this, so he didn't say anything.

Badru took out a knife and cut the meat from the grill and handed it to a few people, paddled their stomachs, and said with a hearty smile: "This wine is indeed stronger than what you usually drink, this is no way, the mountains are cold, only the wine is strong enough to drive away the cold, we usually drink it as water." ”

Qian Qiu didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ba, I heard that there is a Cold Dragon Pond near here, I don't know if it's far from here?"

Badru laughed, "I guess you're here to worship the dragon god." Several people were stunned when they heard his words, "Dragon God?" What dragon god? Ask Qiu smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Ba, what's the matter with this dragon god?"

Badru was stunned for a moment, thinking that they were here to worship the dragon god, but he made a mistake and explained: "There is indeed a cold dragon pond near us, the water of this pool is cold and cold all year round, and there is nothing strange about it, we call it a cold pool."

But ten years ago, when Naturu was hunting, he met a blind bear, and when all the arrows and crossbows on his body were used up, there was only one dagger left, and he couldn't run, and he had already been determined to die to fight this blind bear for his life;

It is common for us hunters in the mountains to be wounded, and it is normal for us to lose our lives, but when we saw that the blind bear was about to hit him, a dragon suddenly appeared in the sky and scared the blind bear away;

It told Naturu that it was a descendant of the dragon god, and that it was punished by its father for being playful, and punished it for guarding the cold pool for a hundred years, and that as long as we were willing to offer something to it, it could protect everyone for a hundred years;

After listening to Natulu's lecture, everyone went to Hantan to send something to the dragon god to eat, and they all wanted to see the dragon god, but it was strange to say that the thing was eaten, but they didn't see the dragon god.

This is ten years, going to the mountains to hunt, I really haven't heard others say that they have been injured and lost their lives, and the days have become richer, and everyone has gradually believed that the dragon god really lives in the pool, and renamed the cold pool as the cold dragon pool.

When the people around heard about it, they also came to worship the dragon god and pray for the dragon god's blessing, so when I heard you talk about the cold dragon pool, I thought you were also here to worship the dragon god. Several people listened to Badru's words, expressed their interest, and wanted to see it, so they asked Badru for the specific location.

Shen Wenqiu didn't expect that this Jiao would still be cheating on eating and drinking here, why didn't he think of tricking a human to help it cross the wormhole? It seems that he will only know what is going on when he sees it tomorrow.

The next day, "This is the Cold Dragon Pond!" Su Qingshu exclaimed;

At this time, it was still snowing in the sky, and the ground had already been covered with a thick white quilt, but there was no ice on the surface of the pool, and there was a mist rising, which was very magical; according to common sense, the water surface at this time should have already become icy, and even if it went up to a hundred or ten people, it would not collapse.

Badru listened to Su Qingshu's exclamation, took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "It's amazing! Since the appearance of the dragon god, the water surface of the Cold Dragon Pond has not frozen in the past ten years. Several people nodded approvingly.

Shen Wenqiu asked: "Brother Ba, where do you usually put the food you usually give?" Everyone didn't understand why Shen Wenqiu suddenly wanted to ask this; Badryu was stunned for a moment, didn't ask much, and said: "At first, everyone wanted to see this dragon god, so they put the food on the edge of the pool, but the thing flew into the pool by itself like having wings, thinking that the dragon god didn't want people to see it; Everyone didn't dare to annoy the dragon god, so they didn't dare to be curious. So saying, Badru threw a piece of meat that he had brought from home into the pool, only to see a phantus flicker and disappear.

Su Qingshu asked in a low voice in Shen Wenqiu: "Brother Shen, how are we going to see it, we can't jump off on this cold day, right?" Shen Wenqiu comforted him, and after he had his own way, he said to Badru: "I'm causing trouble to Brother Ba, we have to go to Kyoto, so let's leave." After saying that, he handed him some silver, but Badru didn't need it, so he pushed it.

It took a few people to ride their horses for a while, and then they came back around. They did this, apparently not wanting Badru to see what they were going to do next. Shen Wenqiu said: "Qingshu go cut some hair on the horse's tail, Brother Gongsun, you go get some slender sticks." Then, Shen Wenqiu took down the barbecue meat that Badru had given them, and said, "Fu Bo, wine." The people did not understand it, and they did it without asking why.

Then, he skewered the meat on a wooden stick, poured some wine on the skewered meat, and folded it with fire; when the wine touched the spark, a fragrance wafted out in an instant; Shen Wenqiu made the wooden sticks, horsetails, and barbecued meat into fishing rods, and threw them at the surface of the pool, waiting for the fish to take the bait; everyone could see his intention in doing this.

Sure enough, in less than a while, a phantom shadow appeared on the surface of the pool, and everyone was nervously ready to pull it up at any time; suddenly, a Jiao head suddenly burst out of the water and bit into the hanging barbecue; Su Yunxin had practiced martial arts after all, and his reaction was much faster than Shen Wenqiu, and before Shen Wenqiu had time to react, Su Yunxin helped him pull up the hanging meat;

I saw a black Jiao hovering in the air, and the milky voice of a baby of a few years old came out of its mouth, saying: "Bold human, dare to play this dragon god." Everyone was stunned for a while, they didn't expect that this big guy with a body of more than 100 zhang and a waist circumference of three feet thick was still a baby who was learning to speak;

When Su Qingshu heard its words, he couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Brother Shen, are you sure that Mr. Qi didn't lie to us?" Hei Jiao listened to Su Qingshu's laughter, which was still the same milky voice, and said angrily: "Damn human, you dare to laugh at me?"

Shen Wenqiu said: "Hei Jiao, don't pretend, are you sure you are the dragon god?" Hei Jiao listened to Shen Wenqiu's words, and said in confusion: "How do you know that I am Jiao? ”

Hei Jiao didn't believe him and said, "Don't you want to lie to me." Shen Wenqiu said, "If you don't come down, I'll eat it myself." After saying that, Shen Wenqiu was about to eat meat, and when Hei Jiao saw him, he didn't play according to the routine, and was afraid that he would really eat the meat, so he quickly transformed into a human form, flew to Wenqiu, snatched the barbecue meat from his hand and gnawed it;

Everyone saw that she had transformed into a human form and was just a five or six-year-old little girl, and her pink little face was already covered with oil, which looked very cute;
