Chapter Twenty-Eight: Snow Falls

"Look, it's a snowy mountain!" shouted Yu, pointing out the car window excitedly

"Looks like we're almost there, comrades. Pack your bags and get ready to get off the bus. Jessica said

"When it finally arrived, my ass was almost turned in half on this train. Seth stood up and said lazily, stretching his waist

Mike, like the rain, saw the snow-capped mountains for the first time. Between the thick clouds and mist, the majestic and majestic white mountains are like a looming girl in white, standing lovely as far as the eye can see. Even the air you breathe here is exceptionally fresh and refreshing, like a fairyland.

"Huhu, can you imagine that such a high mountain was once the bottom of the sea, and it was only because of the collision of two tectonic plates that it was pushed to its current height. It's a bit cold, so remember to wear thick clothes. It's getting dark today, so let's settle down at the tavern in the town and then go up the mountain tomorrow to find the waterfall. Jessica said, rubbing her hands

"I've read a guidebook about this place that says lucky people can pick up beautiful colored seashells on the top of the mountain. Rain looked into the distance and said (Mike looked out the window without saying a word)

After several people hurriedly got out of the car, they settled down in a small dilapidated room on the 3rd floor of a nearby tavern. But at night, the rain and snow suddenly combined, and the room was even colder, making people shiver, and a group of people all ran to the table near the big fireplace in the tavern downstairs to gather in a circle, and chatted with a cup of hot drink.

"Make no mistake, we're not short of money. Why don't you give us this place? It's a tourist attraction. Our great butler!" Seth grumbled again

"If you want to be caught, go to a five-star hotel. I'm not going to stop you!" Jessica immediately choked back briefly.

"Cut, that's what I'll say. Seth said helplessly

The cuckoo alarm clock on the wall behind the bar rang and the bar began to chase away the lazy drinkers except for Mike (who seemed to naturally leave with their unfinished beers) and locked the door tightly with large locks.

Jessica turned to the punctuated tavern owner and asked, "It's only 9 o'clock, do you all close here so early?"

"Beauty, you don't know. Nearby countries have been at war lately, with large numbers of refugees fleeing for their lives, often interspersed with thieves and robbers raiding the town. Our pub is late until 9 o'clock, and most of the shops close after dark. Well, I actually pity them. It's just that their problems can't even be solved in their own country, and how much can we, the little foreign people, help, don't you say?" replied the tavern owner with mixed feelings.

"Yes, the two seemingly ethereal words of the country. No matter how much patriotism you have heard, it is not as important and true as when you lose her and experience the days of running around like a rat crossing the street. ”

"Well, seeing what happened to them, I realized how happy it is to have a strong motherland! At least there is a place to stay. The tavern owner sighed as he wiped his shot glass.

The next day, it was very early in the morning, and a group of people took advantage of the good weather and put on their mountaineering equipment and set off for the snow-capped mountain. As soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw a carriage full of vegetables on the opposite side of the road because the right front wheel had sunk into a puddle and got stuck there. A white-haired old man tried to push the cart in the back, but the vegetables on the cart were too heavy to push at all.

"I'll help you, old man. Yu shouted, and quickly rushed up to help the old man push the cart.

Seeing this, several people also helped push the cart together. Mike looked at the rain beside him while pushing the car, and suddenly felt that the rain had become less lonely at some point. If this were the same as before, he would never have taken the initiative to contact strangers. He thought to himself that it was the right decision to let the rain out, at least for now.

Together, the carriage soon came out of the puddle. At this time, the old lady who was sitting in front of the horse also got out of the car and thanked everyone with the old man.

"Thank you so much! Hey, my presbyopia is getting worse and worse, and I haven't seen such a big puddle. So early, if it weren't for you, we two useless old guys really don't know what to do! We are all country villagers and don't have any good things in return, but this car is full of vegetables grown by us, no pesticides, absolutely fresh and healthy, I hope you don't dislike it, take some of it. The old lady said.

"No, old man. This is all as it should be, we can't cook with vegetables on the road, and it's a waste for us. Jessica immediately excused herself

"Oh, where are you going, young man?" asked the old man

"We're going to Luomapo to find Uncle Wolf, and he promised to take us up the snowy mountain. Mike replied

"It's that stubborn old boy! Then you've found the right person, the weather this season is like a child's face, and it changes when you say it. That is, he takes you to safety. But yesterday it rained heavily, the road to the slope is a little difficult to walk, you turn right from the front, and see a row of particularly short dead trees. The old man explained the shortcuts to Mike in detail.

"By the way, remember to be kind to his dog. The strange old man treats dogs like his life. The old lady reminded loudly before leaving.
