It was already early spring, but the more I felt the chill as I walked south, there were fewer and fewer farmhouses along the way.

Although Wu Ying has fallen asleep, Captain Hong Chip still chooses a smooth and easy path as much as possible along the way.

"Dumb rest in front, we'll go later."

When she got into the carriage, she was still asleep, and Yu Hongchou pinched her hand, which was not cold, but not very warm.

Rubbing it carefully in the palm of his hand, the melancholy in his eyes deepened, and Ying'er promised me not to sleep forever.

After half a month of driving, I haven't walked yet, but I feel that the cold is getting heavier and heavier, and I should find someone to inquire.

"Eat something."

The mute must have been so hungry that he ate several steamed buns in a row, and occasionally looked up and smiled at him.

Yu Hongchou felt ashamed to see that he could still entertain himself in such a harsh environment.

After walking a little further, a figure slowly appeared from far and near, Yu Hongchou stopped the carriage and said busily: "Uncle, is this the direction to the dragon iceberg?" ”

The old man chopping wood thought he had heard it wrong, "What? You're going to Dragon Iceberg? ”

"Yes," Yu Hongchou nodded resolutely.

The old man himself was wrapped like a dumpling, and he shook his body cooperatively when he spoke, "Don't go, you can freeze people to death there." ”

"Uncle told me how to go."

"Just go through the forest in front of you, but the forest road is circuitous, and people who don't walk in it often can easily get lost." The old man didn't look like they were bad people, "If you don't mind, the old man will lead the way." ”

"Thank you so much, uncle, get in the carriage, you show the way."

The forests covered with snow and ice all year round, and the pine trees that can be seen everywhere are unusually tall.

Yu Hongchou was secretly glad that he had met this uncle, otherwise it would have taken several days to find a way in the forest.

The old man inadvertently caught a glimpse of the woman in the carriage, sleeping peacefully, and wondering in his heart, the wind and snow outside were so big, she could still sleep so peacefully, there seemed to be something wrong.

"Are you going to go to the iceberg for medical treatment?" The old man asked, puzzled.

Yu Hongchou was taken aback, "Uncle also knows the legend of the iceberg?" ”

The old man touched his nose and pointed to the inside of the carriage, "I just saw it." ”

He nodded, and the old man persuaded them to give up, "Many people have heard that there are people living on this iceberg, but they have never seen anyone go up to it, and the rumors are not credible." ”

Yu Hongchou didn't speak again, looking at the road ahead.

Walking through this pine forest, the white expanse is almost the same as the place I passed before, which is two worlds.

Because of the perennial ice and snow, a natural protective barrier is formed in the air, and the top of the iceberg is not visible at all.

"This is it, it's cold, isn't it?" The old man got out of the carriage and walked around in place, trying to increase his heat.

"This is a place where people can live, we are standing at the foot of the mountain is already cold, you can imagine the cold at the top of the mountain. There is no way to go to the top of the mountain, and you have to climb up on your own, which is simply looking for death. ”

Yu Hongchou did not listen to persuasion, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment, it was indeed difficult, but he still had to try.

As soon as he climbed with his bare hands, the coldness of his tentacles made him climb only a few meters before retreating.

The cliffs are frozen all year round, and even skaters have nowhere to cling to.

I tried several times in a row, but it still didn't work, and suddenly looked at the old man, "Uncle, where is your woodcutter?" ”

"Here, you're going to use this?" The old man handed over the firewood knife.

Yu Hongchou took the woodcutter and tried it on the cliff, and when he chiseled hard, the ice covering the surface opened a gap, and then continued to chisel up, his hands and feet had attachment points, and it was not so easy to slip his hands.

"Uncle" Wei Hong raised it and prepared to buy these woodcutters from the old man.

"I don't need to say much after thinking about it. Anyway, it's worthless, so I'll give it to you if you want. The old man shook his head and looked at the stubborn man, left the two woodcutters, and walked back with the firewood on his shoulders.

Yu Hongchou has a lot of confidence at the moment, and without further ado, after resting with the mute two, he hugged his sister-in-law.

Although Yu Ying was already asleep, Yu Hongchou still put the heavy cotton clothes on her body, found a rope, and tied her tightly behind him.

"What are you doing, dumb?" Just as they were about to go up together, the dumb man suddenly stopped him.

The dumb man pointed to the ice, and then pointed to himself for making an ice chisel action, and Yu Hongchou understood, "You mean, you are digging the road in front, and I will follow you?" ”

The dumb man nodded violently, and that's what it meant.

"No, then the body you consume will be very large."

Pointing to the person behind Yu Hongchou, in fact, he is not easy, if he chiseles two roads, he is afraid that he will have no strength if he climbs halfway.

In the end, the mute still climbed up one step ahead of him, Yu Hongchou followed behind him, the cold wind was mixed with the sound of chiseling the ice, neither of them dared to move quickly, for fear that too fast would consume the body, and there was still an unknown road ahead.

You must be careful and careful along the way, if one does not step steadily, the consequences of falling are unimaginable.

It took a lot of effort to chisel the ice, and the speed of the dumb man had slowed down, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore, so he stopped at the bottom of his eyes to rest.

At this moment, Wei Hongchou didn't dare to say a word, because they had to be extremely careful, and now they cooperated well with the dumb man.

The farther up, the stronger the wind became, so strong that it could blow people away, and they had to cling to the ice, even though it was bone-chilling.

The mute continued to chisel the ice after recovering his body, because he did not bring any protective gear, and climbed the freshly chiseled opening, and his fingers did not know how many openings were cut.

The cold wind came, the soles of the dumb man's feet slipped, and his hands clung to it, but his feet couldn't reach the hole just now.

"How's you, dumb?"

After the dumb man stood still, he felt that there seemed to be a stream of liquid flowing on his arm, and he lifted the thick cotton coat, and saw that his arm had been accidentally cut just now, and the wound was deep and bone-seeing, but he still shook his head, anyway, it was so cold here, and the wound would solidify after a while, and it would not be so painful.

Almost two hours have passed, and the situation in front of them is still not clear, their lips have frozen purple, and their hands and feet have been removed from mechanical climbing, and they can no longer feel pain, cold and heat.

They try not to communicate as much as possible, not to look at the top, to keep telling themselves, to climb one more step, and soon to reach the top of the mountain.

Climbing over the most misty cliffs, Yu Hongchou suddenly felt a little trance in front of his eyes, was it an illusion? He saw a touch of green.

All he had seen before was the cold ice, and there was nothing but white and vast colors in front of him, and when he suddenly saw green, he seemed to have strength again, and he should be there soon.

The green is getting clearer and clearer, and I can see it clearly, and even the cold before seems to be gradually lost after arriving here.

The scene in front of him was not enough for him to describe in words, beautiful, very beautiful place.
