130. A Blessing in Disguise (3)
Although Gao Ran had been mentally prepared before setting off, this road must not be easy!
But I didn't think it would be so difficult to walk!
The mountain road was not only rugged and difficult to walk, but when the group went deep enough, they found that no one had walked there for a long time! The so-called "road" had long been submerged by all kinds of plants that had grown on it, and what was already very shallow was the traces that "people" had walked -- reluctantly called it a "road"!
And, the deeper you go, the denser the vegetation becomes, and the light is blocked so that the surroundings look darker and darker......
Fortunately, along the way, there are Zhao Yi and Gao Xi, two "old rivers and lakes" leading and protecting the other three who are not deeply involved in the world, and everyone is slowly moving forward together, so although this road is not easy to walk, everyone also walks very hard, but at least, everyone walked for a day, until the leading Zhao Yi informed everyone to "stop and rest for the time being, and go again tomorrow", although everyone's physical strength was very depleted, but the basic body was fine, and they did not suffer any accidental injuries.

"Yaya, if there is no valley on the other side of the mountain that I want to see, I will have to scold God for three days and three nights!
After a day of hiking, Gao Ran's feet were already so painful that she couldn't wait to touch the ground anymore -- because now the soles of her feet hurt badly when she touched them!
It was the first time she had endured such hardship, and the grievances and resentment in her heart finally turned into a sentence that could only be secretly scolded in her heart, and she scolded God in her heart!
After that, it can be regarded as a little out of breath, and the psychology can be considered a little more balanced.
"Girl, are you sure you want to continue walking in this direction?" Zhao Yi suddenly asked with a serious face.
"Well, what's wrong? Master, isn't there something wrong?"
It was the first time Gao Ran had seen Zhao Yi so serious, and intuitively felt that it might be much more difficult to move forward than she had imagined.
"Hmmm......"
Zhao Yi frowned, and then raised his eyes to look at the sky that had begun to darken, and the increasingly unclear ahead......
After pondering for a while, he continued, "You should have seen this way, there are basically no people in this area in recent years!"
"And this mountain ...... If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's going to be much taller than anything you've ever seen before!
"If we continue to go up, we will soon have to enter the 'ice and snow zone'!
"And the snow in the 'ice and snow zone' should not melt all year round!
"Girl, in this case, do you want to continue to go up?!"
In fact, even if Zhao Yi didn't say these words, she would have been aware of them a long time ago! It's just that Zhao Yi's words made her even more convinced of her original judgment.
Climate change, environmental changes, changes in vegetation here...... They all told her that the mountain was much higher than she had thought it would be—perhaps comparable to the "Himalayas" of her original world!
But, thinking that she had tried to find the possible isolated valley on the other side of the mountain, she had already deviated from the direction she had originally planned to go south, and instead went west to the present!
It's been a day!
Although he has only reached the halfway point of the mountain, if he wants to give up, Gao Ran is really a little unwilling!
It's not that I'm not unwilling to be satisfied that I've already traveled so far, but I have to give up halfway, go back to the original route, and continue to set off south;
What she was unwilling to do was that she hadn't really gone to the other side of the mountain to see with her own eyes whether it was her ideal retreat? If she gave up like this, she would be haunted by it all the time!
After all, good things are never easy to get! And the more beautiful they are, the harder they are to get them, and the more they will cost!
Therefore, if you want to find the ideal "retreat" in her mind, Gao Ran knows that it has never been easy!
And, on the other side of Ruoshan, there is indeed a very ideal "retreat"?!
But she can't even endure this little hardship, so how can she deserve to find the "retreat" she longs for?!
After thinking about it, even if she knew that with her current physical fitness, if she had to continue to move forward, it would indeed be too self-conscious! Whether she could reach it or not was not yet known, but it was certain that if she insisted on moving forward, she would definitely risk her life for it!
But this time, she wanted to be willful and reckless!
In her opinion, what can really guarantee her freedom for a long time is to find for herself a "retreat" that is isolated from the world, and even set up many protective obstacles by her, so that her life will not be easily disturbed by outsiders for a long time!
Therefore, finding an ideal "retreat" is of great significance to Gao Ran!
Gao Ran struggled slightly and gritted his teeth, but finally made up his mind!
She took off the disguise that she used to say when she treated Zhao Yi on weekdays, and pleaded with him very sincerely for the first time, "Master, the apprentice has never begged you, this time, even if it is a disciple begging you!"
"The disciple knows that it is basically impossible to climb over this mountain range with the body of the disciple! However, I must go to the other side of the mountain! Otherwise, I will not be willing in my life!
"Master, please, you can help the apprentice, the apprentice knows, you must have a way, right?!"
Although she did not deliberately use the slightly raw "you" to call Zhao Yi, Gao Ran had already changed her self-proclaimed name to "apprentice" - she bowed her head to Zhao Yi in the real sense for the first time, and lowered her posture in front of him for the first time.
"Hmm......" Zhao Yi stared at Gao Ran with a calm face for a long time, and then asked, "Girl, you tell the teacher, why do you have to go to the other side of the mountain?!"
Gao Ran was not surprised by Zhao Yi's questioning.
It's better to say that when she decided to let go of her self-esteem and took the initiative to ask Zhao Yi for help for the first time, she was already fully mentally prepared: except for not being able to tell him her true origin, everything else, no matter what he wanted to know, she would tell him the truth!
Therefore, at this moment, when Zhao Yi asked this question, she didn't even think about it, so she replied directly, "Back to Master, the apprentice guessed that there might be an isolated valley on the other side of the mountain. I want to test my guess!
"If it exists, and the environment is habitable...... Even if the conditions may not be very good, or even harsh, as long as people can survive there, I want to develop it into my future 'retreat'!"
"Hermitage?!"
Now Zhao Yi is interested!
"Yes!
"Don't hide it from Master, there is only one wish in this life, and that is to allow yourself to live a free, peaceful, and indisputable life!
"But, as you know, everything that the identity of a disciple represents is predestined from the time I was born, and it cannot be easily changed by my own will alone......
However, the apprentice felt that this could never be a reason for the apprentice to change his original intention! The apprentice did not want to give up his dream easily! That is the life that I am looking forward to living almost all the time!
"So ......"
"Hehehehehe......" Zhao Yi's sudden inexplicable laughter, which was easily inaudible, interrupted what Gao Ran was about to say.
Gao Ran didn't know what Zhao Yi's reaction meant, and at this moment, she was indeed asking for him...... Therefore, she had to wait patiently for him to laugh enough, and then respond positively according to his subsequent actions.
Xu was because of his passive status of "inferiority" that Gao Ran discovered for the first time that Zhao Yi was really unpredictable......
Before that, Xu was because she had never asked Zhao Yi for anything, so correspondingly, she had always looked at her master with a very equal perspective - although such a mentality should be regarded as a "big rebellion" in this world, however, Zhao Yi didn't mind, so she naturally didn't take it to heart.
Xu is so, before she opened her mouth to beg him, she never really cared about Zhao Yi's true temperament.
But she didn't think about it, at this moment, when she had to pay attention to his temperament because she wanted him, she realized for the first time that the rumors in the rivers and lakes were really true - this Zhao Yi's mind is really not something that ordinary people can guess!
The most obvious thing is that as far as he suddenly laughed just now, Gao Ran didn't understand his intentions?
I wondered, "Is this the time for him to laugh?!Did I say something that made him laugh?!" Or did his laughter actually mean something else?!" )
