Chapter 253: Revisiting the Old Land
Su Miao and Song Chen guessed correctly, the other party was obviously on their way, and when they sat down by the window to drink tea after eating, they happened to see the men hugging the white-clothed woman wearing a veil and getting into the carriage parked at the door of the inn and leaving in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLook at that direction, it should be going to Huolan City.
After Su Miao and Song Chen glanced at it twice, they turned their eyes away, their minds were no longer on this aspect now, what they were thinking about in their hearts was that after two more cities, they would enter the Snow Country, and the further they went north, the less delicious things they would have......
"Ah Chen, do you want to buy some jerky or something?" Su Miao held her cheeks and looked at the lively street outside, and there was a meat seller diagonally opposite. Of course, what she said was not to buy it here, but her plan after returning to Cuilan City, after all, if you talk about cattle and sheep and the like, it is still the most authentic and delicious in Cuilan City.
"I don't think the meat needs to be prepared." Song Chen, who loves meat, unexpectedly rejected Su Miao's opinion, "Aren't there a lot of animals in the oasis?" If you want to eat meat, you can go hunting at any time. If you want to eat fish, there is also a stream over there, so let Xiaobai catch it when the time comes. And we've bought some dry goods from the coastal city, and I've seen enough...... In my opinion, it is better to prepare some rice noodles or something, after all, we are going to spend some time there, and if we eat barbecue for every meal, it will definitely taste bad after a long time......"
"Hmm...... If you buy rice and noodles, then you have to prepare pots and pans for the kitchen? "It is said that transporting rice and noodles from the long water of Dalan Mountain to the snow field is actually a very laborious thing for ordinary people, especially after entering the snow field, it takes a lot of effort just to find the direction of the oasis, and the snow field is too cold, the horses can't stay in it for a long time, and the things they want to transport can only rely on Xiaobai and their own manpower to carry them in, but all this seems to be just a trivial matter for Su Miao, after listening to Song Chen's words, not only did she not think of the above problems, but she had already calculated the number of items she needed to buy.
However, compared to the previous two times, in fact, this time Song Chen still made preparations. He prepared a Sinan, so that they wouldn't have to use Qingyunbu to observe and determine the direction in the air every time they walked a certain distance like before. Instead, you only need to lift off once, and after determining the direction, you can follow Sinan's direction, which can save a lot of effort.
"Well, let's get ready!" Song Chen nodded and said, "When you get to the inn, you will list what you will need, how much, and then we will buy directly according to the list, and we will not miss it." "Song Chen is not good at this, so he can only look at Su Miao's everything.
"We all forgot to ask Master before." Su Miao was a little annoyed and said, "Master and Master have also lived there for a while, and even the wooden house has been built, so it is possible that they have all these ready......
"Not necessarily." Song Chen shook his head, he had a different opinion on this, "With the free and easy personalities of Master and Master, they shouldn't have made this preparation in advance, and it is estimated that they decided to live there after they advanced to the oasis." Once you have stayed, you will definitely not go outside again. Master's taste is light, it is estimated that only eating the peaches can be used as rice, and the master has a strong taste, and eating grilled fish and barbecue is not a big problem for her. If they had left utensils or something like that, it was probably not brought in from outside, and it was more likely that the master himself used an earthen kiln to fire it himself-"
"Burn it yourself?" Su Miao was interested, "Ah Chen, will you burn it?" If that's the case, we can buy a few pots, and we'll make the bowls and plates ourselves, which will be more fun! ”
"I would, but there's not the same clay over there that can be used for dishes." Song Chen remembered that they didn't find this kind of soil when they went over last time, but they didn't go out of their way to look for it last time, so he couldn't be sure.
"Then let's get ready here first!" Su Miao still decided not to take the risk, otherwise, if they couldn't find that kind of soil by then, they could only directly connect the pot to the table, "Anyway, Master, they may go after a while, and it is always not bad to prepare more things." If it weren't for the fact that the rice noodles would have gone bad if they had been left for too long, she would have wanted to prepare them for Lin Jin.
After going out of the restaurant and choosing the inn, Song Chen urged Su Miao to write a list, and he himself was thinking about whether there was anything missing, if Su Miao's list was not written, he would wake up, and then the two would discuss the same issues before drawing conclusions.
A full three-page shopping list (the reason why there are so many is partly because of the large characters written by Su Miao) was finally released, and then they discussed the list thoroughly again, to see which ones needed to be bought in Cuilan City, and which ones were to be bought before arriving in the Snow Country, if that kind of thing could be bought when they were about to arrive in the Snow Country, then they didn't have to prepare things in advance, so as not to have to travel such a long distance with these big bags and small bags.
After that, they returned to Cuilan City, originally they didn't want to prepare meat in advance, but Xiaobai, a foodie, was grinding people to eat this and that, so Su Miao had to buy a lot of food for it, and finally prepared a big bag. Continue to go down, and by the time they entered the border of the Eagle Country, they had already bought everything they wanted, and then entered the territory of the Snow Country with large bags on their horses under the strange eyes of the soldiers in the border city.
After entering the Snow Country, after walking for another day, Su Miao and the others arrived at Snow Lotus Mountain. It was getting late, but the snow and ice in the snowfield could reflect the light, and with the moon, it could not be said to be as bright as day, but it was no problem to walk in it. But they decided to rest at the foot of Snow Lotus Mountain for the night and go inside tomorrow. At this time, it was not long after the beginning of autumn, and if it was in Coastal City, it would still be when the autumn tigers were majestic, but they could feel that they were getting cooler and cooler day by day when they went north. After entering the Snow Country, the feeling of heat is gone, and when you enter the range of Snow Lotus Mountain, you begin to feel cold.
Halfway up the mountain, Snow Lotus Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the sea of pine forests at the foot of the mountain gradually enters the snow field, so the surrounding area of this mountain does not feel hot even in the middle of summer. Su Miao and the others originally planned to come to live for a while, but they could actually prepare some thick clothes, but they all thought that thick clothes would be in the way, and it would be a big bag to pack in the baggage, and it would be troublesome to carry, so they didn't bring them. However, they also have capricious capital, no matter how cold the environment is, as long as they use their internal strength, they can keep out the cold. In addition, there is geothermal heat and hot springs in the oasis, which will be much hotter than on the snowfield, and if they wear thick clothes, they will also need to change into their original clothes after passing the snowfield, which will be more troublesome to put on and take off.
There were no wild things in the pine forest, Su Miao and they picked up some dead branches to make a fire, and roasted the dry food they brought, and there were a lot of dried meat that Xiaobai bought by grinding it, and Su Miao also took some out and roasted it hot and sandwiched it into the dry food, so that it would have a different flavor when eaten.
After a simple dinner, Su Miao, Song Chen, and Xiaobai took turns to keep vigil, and the two of them slept for most of the night. The next morning, they had eaten a lot of dry food and dried meat as they had done last night, because they had to travel for most of the day, and they had to replenish enough food in the snowfield.
The road into the snow field was very smooth, as Song Chen had expected before, after using Sinan, they only needed to take off once, and then they buried their heads all the way to the edge of the oasis. However, the fastest way they reached the oasis was not as lucky as the first time they encountered Snow Lingzhi.
They're not here for that anyway. Besides, the first time they came in, they found Snow Lingzhi, and at this time they were still raising it in Tianjian Peak, and when they were ripe, Su Miao was ready to give it to Song Chen, and then he would not be afraid of all kinds of poisons. In the eyes of the people next to him, Snow Lingzhi is still a priceless treasure, but in Su Miao's opinion, the thirst is not so great, so it is not as hard as when he passed through the snow field before, and it is expected that he did not encounter it.
As soon as they entered the oasis, Xiao Bai rushed forward to spread joy, Su Miao and Song Chen came to the tree of the big peach tree, and sure enough, a short distance ahead, they saw a wooden house that looked simple but was actually quite careful and elegant, which looked similar to the style of the wooden house of Tianjian Peak, and it could be seen that it was from Lin Jin's handwriting. There is also a wooden lock on the door of the wooden house, but it can be opened without a key, apparently not to prevent people, but to prevent some kind of animal or the like from inadvertently breaking in. Su Miao and Song Chen opened the door of the wooden house and went in to take a look, the oasis itself has no dust except for the forest, grass or streams, etc., and the surrounding snow field is even more pure, so although Lin Jin and they have been away for more than two years, the wooden house is still spotless, clean as if someone has just cleaned it, there is no need to do any tidying at all, after closing the door, Lin Jin and they can move in directly next time they come over.
Su Miao walked around Lin Jin's wooden house, and after coming out, she announced, "Ah Chen, let's also make a room like Master's own!" ”
"No problem, tomorrow we will go to the forest over there to cut some wood and come back, and it will be done soon." Song Chen agreed, no matter how complicated the mechanism is, it will be difficult to retreat him, and a wooden house is just a matter of being caught by his fingers.
At this time, the sun was almost down, they went to catch a few hares, roasted them fragrantly by the stream, and returned to the peach blossom tree for one night after dinner, and on the second day, before Su Miao woke up, Song Chen took Xiaobai to the forest, he went to cut wood, and Xiaobai went hunting.
In addition to the wooden house, Song Chen also plans to make a kitchen, so he still needs a lot of wood. Because he felt that it would be too aggrieved to cut down the tree with Xiaotian, he added an axe to Su Miao's list when they were planning to build a wooden house. The axe he bought was also sharp, but if he wanted to chop it one at a time like ordinary people, it might take him two or three days to cut the wood he needed, but fortunately he had internal force, and every time he came out of the axe, he used fifty percent of the internal force, so that when the axe was swung out, there was no need to directly touch the trees, and the blade qi splashed out of the axe directly caused several nearby trees to break off at the root and fall to the ground.
The axe in Song Chen's hand became more and more comfortable, and by the time Su Miao asked Xiaobai to come over and inform him to go back for breakfast, he had already cut enough wood to make a room. Song Chen originally planned to make the house he lived in first, but after eating breakfast and resting for a while, the two of them worked together to move all the trees that Song Chen had repaired to the address of the house that Su Miao had chosen. Song Chen continued to use the axe to reshape the trees again, and Su Miao currently had nothing else to do except prepare three meals to eat, so he followed Song Chen's side to fight for him. Before you know it, by the end of the night, the cottage is already taking shape.
The next day, Song Chen also made the kitchen, and everything that should be sorted out was sorted out, and Su Miaocai realized later: "Ah Chen, why is there only one room?" ”
“…… We will be able to get married next year at the latest, and then we will be able to live in the same room, and it will only be a matter of a few months, and it will be difficult to build two rooms...... Anyway, this oasis is not cold, and I can live directly outside. Song Chen explained, as for what he thought in his heart, it was unknown.
"Or ...... You make an extra bed in the room! Anyway, this room is made big enough. Then make a screen to separate the two beds, so that we can all live in the house. Su Miao blinked, "Anyway, there are only the two of us in this oasis, and if we don't say it, no one will know, and no one will gossip." "Actually, this house is so big, if Song Chen made it bigger at that time, it would be okay to divide it into two rooms. It's a little big or small in front of me, so I have to use a screen.
Of course, Song Chen agreed, and immediately used the remaining wood to make beds and screens.
Su Miao was watching and laughing at him: "Ah Chen, you always say I'm lazy, I didn't expect you to be too lazy to do it one day!" ”
Song Chen's hands didn't stop, but his eyes looked at Su Miao: "I guess I should have been with you for a long time, and I was slowly affected by you." ”
I thought I still needed to cut down some more trees, but I didn't expect that after Song Chen made the bed, the remaining materials actually made a pair of screens. This time, everything is ready, and you can move out directly.
When Su Miao and Song Chen were busy, Xiaobai was running around the oasis, hunting while playing. Su Miao lived outside the house, and immediately remembered the purpose of this trip.
