Time passed quickly, and Ling Ran read and practiced every day, and he didn't feel bored.

There has been a heavy snowfall during these days, and the heavy snow has been falling intermittently for three days, and Ling Ran has seen the largest snow in such a big way.

Ling Ran and Xiao Xiao hid in the house and drank hot tea and sighed that the snow was so big, and Lao Yantou laughed at the two haired children for not seeing the world, and the two were very disdainful of it.

In addition to being a good chef with due diligence, Ling Ran is also an out-and-out good student, and students who don't want to be cooks are not good Ling Ran.

In the past two months, Ling Ran has read more than half of the books in Lao Yantou's courtyard, barely half of the Cangyun people.

He knew that this place was called "Northern Wilderness", which was the northernmost place in Cangyun Continent, and the prosperous world in the south was separated from this by a continuous snow-capped mountain, and He Yaoju was there.

If you want to go to He Yaoju, although the snow mountain is the closest, nine times out of ten you will die in it, and you must take a detour to the east to borrow the sea route.

He also knew the humanities and customs here, and knew that in a few days it would be the most important festival in Cangyun - "praying for the spirit", and every family would make a big table of delicious food on this day to gather together to pray for the spirit and pray for a safe and peaceful new year.

Ling Ran had been curious about where the firewood, rice, oil, and salt in the kitchen came from, until one day a motora caravan arrived with a full load of goods.

Ling Ran was surprised, it turned out that there were other people coming to this place.

The steward shouted respectfully to Xiao Xiao at the door, "Hello Miss", and he realized that every other month, He Yaoju would send daily necessities, and then transport some medicinal materials back here.

On this day, it was the day of the convoy delivery, and the steward took advantage of the interval between unloading to report something to Xiao Xiao outside the courtyard, and his expression showed some anxiety.

Ling Ran held a book in his hand and watched from afar, Xiao Xiao quietly listened to the steward's report.

At this time, she was a little different from the wild girl on weekdays, dignified and quiet, seemingly weak but unapproachable, not as lively and cheerful as usual, Ling Ran thought for a while that this was what Xiao Xiao was supposed to be.

After unloading, the convoy did not stop at all, leaving traces of cars and horses far east on the snow. Xiao Xiao watched the convoy get smaller and smaller, and after a while, it disappeared into the vast snow.

It seems that this day is always missing the old Yantou?

Closing the door, Xiao Xiao sighed a little annoyed.

"Miss Xiao Xiao, what's so bothering, why are you still sighing?" Ling Ran asked half-jokingly as he held half of the book.

Xiao Xiao glanced at him angrily, and returned to the familiar Xiao Xiao.

"There are more people in the family, and they can eat very well, and the rations have been eaten, can you not be annoyed?" Xiao Xiao pretended to have a headache.

Ling Ran touched his nose a little embarrassed, he had indeed become particularly edible.

Since I came to this world, the most important thing has been the amount of food. It's just that he doesn't know why, he is full of energy every day, and he can eat and drink.

"Why don't you deduct it from my salary?" Ling Ran said in embarrassment, he still fantasized about saving enough money to marry a daughter-in-law one day.

Xiao Xiao saw him answer seriously, and couldn't help but be amused by him.

"Hahaha!"

Ling Ran was also very cooperative, pretending to react, and deliberately threatened: "Hey, it seems that there are always people who have been digging valleys in the open recently, and they always steal jelly beans behind their backs."

Xiao Xiao's face turned red when he heard the "swish", and he hurriedly covered Ling Ran's mouth, like a mouse caught by his tail.

Once, when boiling medicine, he secretly stuffed a jelly bean into his mouth, but he was unfortunately bumped into by Ling Ran, and since then he has fallen into the handle.

Ling Ran criticized her "fiercely" at that time, as an immortal cultivator who was in the valley, it was taboo to steal vulgar food.

Under Xiao Xiao's begging and repeated assurances, this became a little secret between the two.

Ling Ran felt that Bigu's practice was really dehumanizing, and he couldn't eat vulgar food, so as to ensure the purity of the body and not be polluted, which was said to be very beneficial to his future cultivation.

Often, most practitioners don't choose this way, and it takes a lot of courage to give up food.

But Xiao Xiao insisted on walking on such a path.

"Don't say it...... Not...... I won't say it......" Ling Ran shook her head vigorously, don't look at Xiao Xiao's small person, her strength is really not small, Ling Ran only has beaten points in her hands.

He didn't dare to really off Xiao Yatou, last time he missed the heat of her boiling medicine, resulting in a pot of medicine paste, this girl picked up a bowl of thick wood and chased him for an hour or two.

Seeing Ling Ran shaking his head, Xiao Xiao let go, and Ling Ran, who was out of trouble, slipped away as fast as the soles of his feet touched the oil, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, only the voice came from afar,

"Xiao Xiao, you have to save on delicious things!"

"Ling Ran, if you dare to say it, Miss Ben will knock a stick on the head again!"

Xiao Xiao was so angry that his teeth itched!

After many days of getting along, the two have become extremely acquainted, often fighting and making trouble, and the quiet courtyard is a little more lively.

The old Yantou, who didn't see anyone, closed his eyes and meditated in the room, smiling slightly, and he didn't know what was happy.

Although it has been sunny for many days, the snow shows no signs of melting.

Given that Ling Ran, a foodie, really eats a lot, Xiao Xiao felt the need to let him sell some coolies to make up for it.

She took Ling Ran to the mountains to collect medicine.

Ling Ran was wrapped in an ill-fitting old jacket, carrying a large basket more than half a person high, and staggered with one foot deep and one foot shallow, making a "creaking" sound.

Xiao Xiao carried his hands behind his back, draped in a light velvet, and jumped in front of Ling Ran, as light as a swallow.

The combination of the two is like a big lady who goes out to play and her followers.

In the snow-covered mountain forest, except for the bare tree trunks and snow, there were two people, very quiet, and even a slightly thicker pant would echo in the forest.

To say that there are dangers in this mountain, there are more or less traces of strange beasts in the mountains and forests of this world.

The general strength is not strong, some strength of martial arts people can basically deal with it, but there are also some strong ones, such as the giant tail crocodile in the Yanhui Valley, and for example, there are legends that some foreign beasts that have cultivated the Tao, the strength is unimaginable, if Ling Ran and Xiao Xiao meet, they can't run.

However, ordinary beasts hide when they see people, and they will not easily offend people.

Moreover, in this mountain forest, Lao Yantou and Xiao Xiao have almost turned over, and there is no major danger.

From the time he went out in the morning to the present, Ling Ran has not seen a single bird, and has been following Xiao Xiao to patrol the mountains.

Xiao Xiao is responsible for finding, and Ling Ran is responsible for digging.

Ling Ran felt that what could he find in the snow cover, so he looked leisurely.

As he walked farther into the mountains, he didn't know what Xiao Xiao's nose was made of, under the snow cover, Ling Ran saw nothing but white or white, Xiao Xiao could actually know that there were precious medicinal plants hidden underneath through the thick snow cover.

At first, Ling Ran was very surprised by Xiao Xiao's ability, and Xiao Xiao pointed to where he could dig.

Ling Ran was shocked every time he dug up something, and all he found were rare and exotic grasses.

What kind of medicine is this, this is obviously digging for treasure!" Ling Ran thought to himself.

However, Xiao Xiao said: This is originally digging treasures, and there are treasures everywhere here.

Ling Ran was digging hard into the snow, and he had already dug several half-man-deep pits.

Xiao Xiao suddenly slipped into the pit, held down Ling Ran, and signaled him to be quiet.

Ling Ran didn't know why, and looked in the direction of Xiao Xiao's finger, but was slapped on the head by Xiao Xiao, it turned out that he was asking him to slow down and lighten up.

Ling Ran gently poked his head out, and a snow-white fox cat was not far away, blending with the snow, and he couldn't find it if he wasn't careful.

The ice fox didn't know what to dig into, and from time to time it emitted white gas from its mouth.

Xiao Xiao whispered to Ling Ran,

"That's an ice fox, don't look at its small body, the white gas that comes out of its mouth is not ordinary, the temperature is very low, if your hand touches it, it will cause frostbite, and if it is serious, it may freeze directly......"

Ling Ran's eyes widened, Xiao Xiao said scary, just now he thought that the ice fox was a little cute, so he quickly retracted his head for fear of being discovered, and gave him a frozen package.

Xiao Xiao looked at him and laughed thiefily.

Ling Ran nervously quieted her down, and cautiously stuck out her head, the ice fox had already run away.

"Whew~" Ling Ran lay in the pit and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ling Ran, why are you so cowardly," Xiao Xiao looked at Ling Ran with disdain.

Ling Ran didn't care,

"I don't want to lose arms and legs. ”

"Haha!" Xiao Xiao laughed out loud,

"Ice Fox has a gentle temperament and will not take the initiative to attack, unless you provoke it. ”

Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, Ling Ran didn't want to come to this world for a long time, and the people were gone.

"Xiao Xiao, what was that ice fox doing just now? ”

Xiao Xiao tilted his head and thought about it,

"It's supposed to be foraging, I don't know exactly what I've dug up, go over and take a look!"

As he spoke, he turned over and climbed out of the snow pit, Ling Ran followed, looked around, and made sure that there was no shadow of the ice fox, so he followed.

The small pit looks like a nest of insects and ants, and the black soil around it is frozen as hard as a stone, and it is cold to the touch.

Xiao Xiao frowned and sniffed,

"What did you find?" Ling Ran asked curiously.

Xiao Xiao shook his head,

"The body odor of the ice fox is too strong to distinguish the other taste. ”

Hearing this, Ling Ran also tried to smell it, but he didn't even smell the body odor that Xiao Xiao said, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"Dig it up!" Xiao Xiao gestured.

Ling Ran was also curious about what this ice fox was digging, and the shovel was swinging extremely hard.

After a while, the nest was turned over, but nothing was turned out, and the black soil turned out was all piece by piece, frozen and stiff.

Ling Ran smacked his tongue secretly, the cold air of this ice fox was a bit powerful.

With another shovel, Xiao Xiao took the tool from Ling Ran's hand and asked him to signal him to be careful.

Ling Ran was like a great enemy, thinking that something strange would pop out again, and he hid far away.

Xiao Xiao pursed his lips and carefully separated the black soil, Ling Ran saw that there was no condition for a long time, so he quietly came over and opened his eyes wide,

"What is this?!"

An ice-blue scorpion was lying in the dirt pit, the two scorpion claws were huge, a pair of eyes were wide open in the center of the back, and a blood-red stinger hung high on the tail as if it could drip blood.

Xiao Xiao kept gently fiddling with the motionless scorpion that looked dead with a shovel, observing intently, while explaining to Ling Ran,

"Looks like it's supposed to be a bloodtail scorpion. ”

"Bloodtail?"
