The snow stopped.

The sun shines diagonally across the mountain tops to the southeast, illuminating the entire valley.

A few great kingfishers flew up from the forest on the west side of the valley, over the Snow Valley Inn, and headed for the top of the mountain to the east.

After Luo Shiyin and the others got up, they went to the front row house for breakfast after a simple freshening up.

"Friends, did you sleep well last night? I've ordered breakfast, come and eat! The iron kettle was already waiting at the dinner table, ordering food for everyone.

Everyone sat down and began to eat.

"Iron kettle, get up early enough! You and Lao Shi tossed me down last night. You two really have a fight for purring! Xie Yuan looked drowsy, obviously due to lack of sleep.

"I'm used to waking up early, and when I get to this point, I can't sleep, and I like to get up early and walk." The iron kettle was busy pulling food into his mouth, and he was unapologetic about Xie Yuan's complaints.

"Brother Xie Yuan, did I snore last night? Why didn't I realize it? You see it also affects your sleep, how embarrassing! Come on, eat more steamed buns to make up! Shi Tianji deliberately pretended to be very apologetic.

"Come on, Lao Shi, I think you are a cat crying mouse fake compassion. It's not the first time that you and Xie Yuan have slept together along the way, every time you make Xie Yuan's brother sleep deprived, can you not know that you are snoring? Shi Lang said.

"That's it, I see that you and this iron kettle are actually all the way, he is really a fool, you are a pretending fool. In short, whether it's true or not, you're both out-and-out fools. Xie Yuan deliberately scolded Shi Tianji.

For Xie Yuan's words, the iron kettle didn't seem to care at all, he just buried his head in eating quickly, for fear that the food would be snatched up by others.

Shi Tianji also didn't care about Xie Yuan's unpleasant words, he swallowed a mouthful of food hard, and said nonchalantly: "Foolish eggs, foolish eggs, anyway, I had a good night's sleep last night." Unlike some people, tossing and turning and can't sleep. ”

"Brother Xie Yuan, you really have to learn from Brother Shi's ability to eat and sleep well, otherwise, how can your body withstand this long journey!" Ye Ruliu said to Xie Yuan.

"Oh sister, you don't know, last night the two of them were on one side, surrounding me, it was really a snoring like thunder! Who can stand it? Xie Yuan's face was full of complaints.

"According to what Brother Shi Lang said, you and I don't sleep together once or twice, you should have been used to it a long time ago. It seems that it's not my snoring problem, but your ability to adapt is not good, so it's no wonder that others. Shi Tianji said to Xie Yuan while eating.

"According to you, it seems that you still blame me?" Xie Yuan stopped eating, and there was an angry expression on his face.

"Okay, okay, Brother Xie Yuan, I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously, can't you blame me? Later, when I snore, I was quieter. Shi Tianji saw that Xie Yuan was really angry, and hurriedly said.

"Alright, brother. Brother Shi can't compensate you, hurry up and eat. Ye Ruliu enlightened Xie Yuandao.

"Alas! I wish I could get out of this snow-capped mountain sooner, so that I could get rid of the snoring from the two people sooner. Xie Yuan sighed and lowered his head to eat.

While talking, everyone got up and rushed to the counter to settle the bill after eating morning and evening.

The golden shopkeeper of the inn was already waiting behind the counter. Behind him stood six or seven strong, big-bodied men.

"It's twelve taels of silver." The golden shopkeeper spoke.

"How much? Twelve taels! Are you guys a black shop? Eat two meals and stay for one night, 12 taels of silver! Li Ruzhu, who was about to settle the bill, was shocked by the words of the golden shopkeeper.

Along the way, Li Ruzhu used his special status to raise expenses and settle bills along the way.

"This friend doesn't know, your accommodation and food money are a tael of silver. However, your friend Iron Kettle owes the inn eleven taels of silver. This morning I met the head of the iron kettle, and he said that you are willing to pay him back. Therefore, the two add up to a total of twelve taels. The golden shopkeeper said lightly.

"What? When did we promise to pay him back? I see you are blackmail! I'm in a hurry to mess with my grandfather, and I can't see if I smash your black shop! When Shi Tianji heard the words of the golden shopkeeper, he suddenly became angry.

Seeing that Shi Tianji wanted to make trouble, several big men behind the golden shopkeeper immediately pulled out the iron rods prepared in advance from under the counter, rushed out of the counter, and surrounded the team members.

"Lao Shi, calm down. Let's get to the bottom of the situation. Shi Lang knew that in this case, the commander generally didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he said to Shi Tianji.

"Iron kettle, do you really owe people money?" Li Ruzhu asked.

"Yes...... Be. But it's not eleven taels, it's ten taels. The head of the iron kettle is like a child who has done something wrong, standing in front of the parents who question him.

"There's one or two more interest." The golden shopkeeper corrected.

"Okay, General Li, you can return the silver together. We still have to hurry. Luo Shiyin didn't want the team to spend too much time on such trivial matters.

"Yes...... But I only have six taels of silver! Li Ruzhu turned out all the silver taels in his pocket, and he didn't make up enough twelve taels.

"Lao Shi, it's up to you to spend the rest." Luo Shiyin said to Shi Tianji.

When he was in Nanyuan Cheng, Shi Tianji once took a large bag of silver from the female shopkeeper of the Chunxiang Inn, although he later handed over the silver bag to the monk of Zhulin Zhenshe to redeem Zhuqing, but he took out a lot of silver from the silver bag in advance and owned it for himself, which is a fact that the team members know.

"When I met you, a mourning star, I have fallen for eight lifetimes!" Shi Tianji said viciously to the iron kettle.

For Shi Tianji, who is known as the iron rooster, spending so many silver taels at once, it is even more uncomfortable than ripping the meat off his body. But now that the commander had spoken, he had to obey.

Shi Tianji took out five taels of silver from his arms, and then took the six taels of silver in Li Ruzhu's hand, and then put two copies of a total of eleven taels of silver on the counter in front of the golden shopkeeper, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Forget the interest." That's all I have. Do you love it, don't pull it down! "Excellent reading books

As soon as the big man who was surrounded by the team members heard Shi Tianji's unreasonable words, he immediately prepared to make a move.

"Hey, step aside." The golden shopkeeper waved his hand to the big men, and then continued: "I think these friends are not idle people, eleven taels are eleven taels, and they should make friends." However, I also advise a few friends that some friends who are not inconsistencies should not be made, so as not to bring some unexpected trouble. ”

The iron kettle heard what the golden shopkeeper was referring to, and hid behind the team members with a weak heart, not daring to speak.

After settling the bill, the younger shopkeeper in the store enthusiastically sent the team members to the door.

"Slow down, everyone, welcome back!" The shopkeeper stood under the wooden frame in front of the room and watched the team members walk away.

Everyone had already walked out more than ten meters away, and the iron kettle seemed to feel that he had fallen on something, he handed over the rope leading the dog in his hand to Xie Yuan, and ran towards the inn reflexively.

The young shopkeeper just wanted to enter the house, and when he found the iron kettle running back again, he hurriedly turned around and asked, "What else does the guest officer command?" ”

"Hey, brother. I'll come and talk to you about something. The iron kettle said mysteriously to the shopkeeper.

"What's the matter?" The shopkeeper was curious and put his head on the chest of the iron kettle.

"Brother, I'm sorry. Brother, I want to borrow your hat for a while. The iron kettle saw the opportunity, suddenly took off the fur hat on the shopkeeper's head, turned around and ran.

"Hey, big brother, ......" The young shopkeeper didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to stand where he was, helplessly looking at the iron kettle head.

"Don't worry, brother. I'll give you back when I send these friends out of the mountain and come back. The iron kettle ran a few steps, turned his head and shouted to the shopkeeper.

Shi Tianji returned five taels of silver for the iron kettle in a daze, and his heart was always on fire, and he walked out of the inn, and he was sullen all the way.

The sun shines on the vast snow in winter, which is a bit dazzling. The team members had to squint their eyes and walk forward in the snow.

The iron kettle knew that his behavior must have angered Shi Tianji, so he saw the opportunity, chased a few steps, came to Shi Tianji, and squeezed out a smile on his face and said to Shi Tianji: "Brother, I'm really sorry for letting you break the bank!" But I can't help it, if I don't pay the debt, they will threaten to detain me and not let me go. Do you think that if I am detained, it will affect everyone's walking? So, in desperation, I can only tell them that you are my friends and willing to pay my debts. Although you have spent a little money, brother, it has ensured that everyone is on the road on time. I think it's worth it. ”

"You think it's worth it, but I don't think it's worth it! If it weren't for the adults at the scene, I would have burned down their broken inn a long time ago, and by the way, I would have thrown you, a mourning star, into the fire and grilled it into a meat skewer, so that I would have eaten you as a lamb skewer! Shi Tianji hated to immediately push the iron kettle to the ground and beat him violently, but considering that the team still wanted the iron kettle to come out of the mountain, he tried to suppress his anger.

Xie Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Shi Tianji was angry like this, he decided to vent his anger for Shi Tianji.

"I said iron kettle, you person, I think if I call you a scoundrel, I will still exalt you. So what should I call you? Xie Yuan walked up to the iron kettle and said to the iron kettle without sarcasm.

"You can call me anything, as long as this old brother doesn't get angry with me anymore, don't call me a scoundrel, it's okay to be shameless!" The iron kettle head looks indifferent.

"It's not just shameless, it's shameless and obscene!" Xie Yuan was also annoyed by the iron kettle-headed dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

"Hey, brother, you can't say that. If you want to call me shameless, I have no opinion. But I'm not obscene, and I also have principles of being a man, so I can't just say it. After listening to Xie Yuan's words, the iron kettle became serious.

"How could I have met such a monster as you in this barren mountain and wilderness? Okay, let's go ahead and walk in peace! Xie Yuan felt that if he continued to talk to the iron kettle, he would be as angry as Shi Tianji, so he simply stopped paying attention to the iron kettle.

The iron kettle head looked left and right, and saw that other people were just walking with their heads buried in their heads, and no one paid attention to themselves, and suddenly felt very bored. Only then did he remember that he was still holding the hat he had snatched from the shopkeeper's head. This hat was originally intended to be given to Shi Tianji to redeem his merits, but for a while, he forgot about it in a daze.

The iron kettle head ran to Shi Tianji, who he thought was more compatible with him, and said flatteringly: "Brother, I specially got you a hat, can you wear it to try it appropriate?" ”

At this time, Shi Tianji was still angry, he didn't look at the iron kettle at all, and said coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”

"Brother, I can tell you, this snow road, the most afraid of bright light, if people walk on the snow for a long time, but do not take measures to protect their eyes, they will get snow blindness. You still wear this hat, the fluff on the front of it will block you from the bright light. The iron kettle continued to pester Shi Tianji.

"If you talk around me again, I'll break your neck, do you believe it or not?" Shi Tianji stopped, stared at the iron kettle and said.

"Hey, Lao Shi, what the iron kettle said is still reliable. The snow has a very high reflectivity of sunlight, and when a person walks on the snow and looks directly at the snow for a long time, just like looking directly at the sun, the retina of the eye is stimulated by strong light, which may cause temporary blindness.

"You see we all wear hats, you can lower the brim of the hat to block the bright light, only you, because you don't like to wear hats and go barehead, which is actually very dangerous." Shi Lang turned around and said to Shi Tianji.

"Yes, yes, this brother is absolutely right. Brother, I snatched this hat from the shopkeeper for you, so you better wear it! The iron kettle said, and forcibly put the hat on Shi Tianji's head, but due to the difference in height, he tried twice and was unsuccessful.

"What are you stumbling about? Take it! It seems that Shi Lang's words have an effect on Shi Tianji, and at the same time, he felt the iron kettle head bouncing around him, affecting his walking, so he snatched the hat from the iron kettle's hand, put it on his head, and then left the iron kettle head behind him in great stride.

"Lao Shi, you can't just let a hat be bought, that's five taels of white silver!" Xie Yuan saw that Shi Tianji's anger had eased, so he wanted to amuse him further to ease the dull atmosphere in the march of the entire team.

"Brother Xie Yuan, you can't open any more pots. Lao Shi just reluctantly accepted the hat of the iron kettle, you can't let Lao Shi throw it back! Shi Lang understood Xie Yuan's purpose, so he accosted him.

"Brother Shi is not the kind of person who is cautious, when have we ever seen Brother Shi really angry. The so-called prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, and he is talking about people like Brother Shi. Ye Ruliu complimented Shi Tianji at the right time, so that Shi Lang and Xie Yuan's words would not immediately anger Shi Tianji again, leaving room for everyone's later conversation.

"Sister, what you said can be said to Lao Shi's heart, maybe he is so beautiful that he is secretly happy at this time!" Xie Yuan said.

"I saw that Lao Shi was indeed stealing fun. Look, everyone, old Xerox is so snot coming out! Shi Lang deliberately walked in front of Shi Tianji and stretched his neck to look at Shi Tianji's face.

"Hey, hey, you ape, there's really nothing you can do. I am happy to have a snot, it is clearly frozen. Why don't you take a look? Shi Tianji said, wiping a handful of his snot with his hand, and then wanted to wipe it on Shi Lang's face.

Shi Lang deftly dodged.
