Chapter 125: Iron Kettle Head (9)
"Okay, Lao Shi, I want to open some, look at you, suddenly become silent, everyone is very uncomfortable. And all of a sudden, no one was fighting with me, and I was really uncomfortable. Xie Yuan said to Shi Tianji.
"It's not that I'm unhappy because I feel sorry for that bit of silver, I just watch someone upset, and I always have an urge to beat people." Shi Tianji was still sullen.
"Lao Shi, haven't you heard the word "settling accounts after autumn"? There will always be opportunities. Be patient! Xie Yuan enlightened Shi Tianji.
"What kind of settlement after the autumn, brother, I have said humility to my brother!" When the iron kettle heard Xie Yuan's words, he immediately became afraid.
"I didn't talk about you, don't be too sensitive." Xie Yuan said angrily to the iron kettle.
"Iron kettle, where is it!" At this time, Luo Shiyin asked loudly.
"It's almost to the frozen lake ahead. Everyone tie their shoes. The iron kettle replied.
"Why is it called the Frozen Lake?" Ye Ruliu asked.
"Actually, the lake in front of me has a nice name, what it is called, I can't remember it for a while. It is called a frozen lake because it freezes in winter, when the snow is cold. The ice is covered with a thick layer of snow, making it very difficult to walk. The iron kettle replied.
"Do you have to walk across the lake? Can't get around? Li Ruzhu asked.
"No, this lake occupies the entire valley, and there is no way to go around it." The head of the iron kettle waved his hand exaggeratedly, making a movement that he couldn't do.
While talking, everyone had already arrived at the lake.
As far as the eye can see, the snow-covered lake spreads out in an oval shape to the east, and the mountains on either side of it bulge upwards from the shore almost symmetrically. On the other side of the lake, you can see a long and narrow valley road.
"Ouch, I'm exhausted!" Due to Xie Yuan's thin body and the fact that he didn't sleep well all night last night, he was already out of breath when he walked to the lake.
Considering that he would have to walk on the frozen lake next, Xie Yuan picked up a thumb-thick branch from the side of the road, patted the snow off the branch, and then broke the branch of the branch, leaving only a thicker part of about one meter, which was used as a crutch to cross the lake by himself.
Seeing that everyone was about to stop, the iron kettle bent down, affectionately stroked the head of the wolf dog that followed all the way, and whispered in the ear of the wolf dog: "Good boy, this time it's up to you." ”
"Iron kettle, what kind of reputation are you doing?" Xie Yuan looked at the sneaky appearance of the iron kettle, and suddenly became suspicious.
Thinking about it, everyone was indeed choked by this iron kettle.
The iron kettle head did not answer, only to see him take out a piece of bacon from home from his arms and send it to the wolf dog's nose, the wolf dog thought that the iron kettle was feeding it with bacon, and opened his mouth to eat. But the iron kettle just let the wolf dog smell it, and then, he first loosened the rope leading the dog, and then, raised his arm and threw the bacon in his hand to the lake in the distance in front of him.
The wolfdog immediately galloped towards the place where the bacon had fallen. A string of wolf-dog zigzag footprints were left on the surface of the lake.
"Hey, iron kettle, why do you still have the leisure to walk the dog here?" Shi Lang asked puzzled.
"I'm not walking a dog, I'm using a dog to show us the way." At this point, the iron kettle head deliberately stopped talking, he looked at everyone proudly, and sold a pass.
"Okay, let's talk about what's going on. Otherwise, I'm going to do it! When Shi Tianji saw the pretended mysterious demeanor of the iron kettle, he immediately glared, looking like he was going to hit someone.
"You don't know that there are often people who break the ice to fish on the surface of this lake, so there are actually many ice holes under this thick snow. Once a person accidentally steps on it, it will definitely fall. At that time, if not drowned, you will have to freeze to death by the icy water.
"The wolf and the dog have a unique pathfinding skill that allows them to tell where there is an ice cave and where it doesn't. You see, the place where it runs is not a straight line, but an irregular curve, which is the wolfdog running away from the ice cave. The iron kettle quickly explained it to everyone.
"Is it really that amazing?" Xie Yuan didn't believe the iron kettle's remarks.
"Okay, iron kettle, we'll all listen to you. You lead the way. Luo Shiyin said.
"Everyone must follow in my footsteps!" The iron kettle head told everyone and raised his legs to walk towards the lake.
Under the leadership of the iron kettle, the team members arrived safely at the place where the wolf dog was standing. At this time, the wolf dog had just finished eating the piece of bacon, and when he saw the iron kettle head coming over, he wagged his tail affectionately.
The iron kettle didn't speak, but took out a piece of bacon from his bosom and threw it vigorously on the other side of the lake. The wolf-dog immediately went after the bacon again.
Everyone followed the iron kettle, followed the footprints left by the wolf dog, and walked smoothly across the lake to the opposite shore.
"Iron kettle, it seems that you still have such a double hit, if it weren't for you, we really don't know if we can safely walk through this frozen lake." Xie Yuan said to the iron kettle after going ashore.
"Who knows if what he said was fooling us? I thought he was talking nonsense. This lake is so good, where is there any ice cave! Shi Tianji was still suspicious of the iron kettle. Love me
"Hey, brother, I can't say that, in order to lead everyone across the lake safely, I took two pieces of bacon." The iron kettle head looked aggrieved.
"Two pieces of bacon are a fart, can they beat my five taels of silver?" Shi Tianji's anger came up again.
"Hey, Iron Ketlehead, how did you know that a wolf and a dog could tell the way on this snowy lake?" Shi Lang was worried that Shi Tianji and Tie Keetou would quarrel again, so he changed the topic.
"Actually, I discovered this secret by accident. I remember one year when it was also snowing heavily, I passed by this lake and found a she-wolf leading two wolf cubs past the lake. The she-wolf did not walk in a straight line, but made a winding line on the surface of the lake.
"At first I was a little puzzled, but when the she-wolf led the wolf cub away, I found a stick, and walked along the route that the she-wolf had walked, and found that there were ice holes under the snow where the she-wolf had passed.
"That's when I discovered the wolf's ability. Later, I brought a dog and tried it, and found that dogs also have the same skills as wolves. Later, I accidentally told the story and let the golden shopkeeper of the Snow Valley Inn know about it, so he saw a business opportunity and kept a few dogs in the inn.
"I used to rent a dog from him every time I took a guest out of the mountains and past the inn after the snow, and used it to cross the frozen lake. After a long time, he owes him many debts. The iron kettle said.
"Iron kettle, you did a good job in this transaction, you paid off all your debts at once, and picked up a wolf dog for nothing." Xie Yuan said.
"No, it looks like I'm lucky." The iron kettle said dizzily.
"Huh?!" Hearing the iron kettle head emphasizing that he was lucky, Shi Tianji was reluctant, he suddenly stopped, stared at the iron kettle head with his eyes, and was furious.
"No, no, it's not my luck, it's that I'm lucky enough to meet a kind person like you, brother! Look at my stinky mouth, you should be beaten! The iron kettle realized that he had said the wrong thing, quickly corrected it, and gently pumped himself in the mouth.
A cold wind blew in his face, Shi Lang walked up to Ye Ruliu and pulled the brim of Ye Ruliu's hat down to block the cold wind and the strong light behind the snow.
"Sister, you see how caring Brother Shi Lang is for you! Where to find such a good man! Xie Yuan wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
"Brother, you are not bad, sister believes that if Liu Yingying is here, you will also take good care of him." Ye Ruliu said.
"People can't figure it out now, and now they're standing by the fire, playing the piano warmly! It's like we're running around desperately in this ice and snow! Xie Yuan said.
"What tunes do you play? I think Liu Yingying's sister is playing a lovesick song to express her lovesickness for the lover named Xie Yuan in the distance. Ye Ruliu said.
"Oh, my sister, don't say that. If you continue to say this, my tears will come out! Xie Yuan was a little emotional by Ye Ruliu's words.
"Okay, sister, don't talk about it. Save you from being sad. After Ye Ruliu finished speaking, he patted Xie Yuan's shoulder with his hand.
The road under our feet was much smoother, and we walked all the way along the valley floor, and around noon, we finally walked out of the vast mountain and came to a plain area.
"Alright, guys, my mission is done. I'm going to try to get back to the Snow Valley Inn before it gets dark, and I'm going to see them off again. The iron kettle said a few words to everyone briefly, and turned around to go back.
"Wait, I have a few more words to tell you!" Shi Tianji said, looking down for something on the ground.
"Give, Lao Shi, use this." Xie Yuan understood what Shi Tianji was going to do next, so he handed the branch in his hand to Shi Tianji.
"Brother, you...... You can't do nonsense! I'll give you a hat! The iron kettle suddenly understood that Shi Tianji was going to beat him, so he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and accidentally fell on his back on the snow.
"Lao Shi, pay attention to proportion, don't kill people!" Shi Lang said to Shi Tianji.
"I know, you go first, and I'll come later." After Shi Tianji finished speaking, he walked to the head of the iron kettle that fell to the ground with a branch.
"Didn't you kid lack discipline since he was a child, I'm going to discipline you bastard for your dead parents today!" Shi Tianji said, and hit the buttocks of the iron kettle head with a stick.
"Ouch, Mom! It hurts me! Grandpa Hei, I know it's wrong, so don't fight! "The iron kettle rolled on the snow with a headache.
"I'm going to let you lie! I will make you unkind! I'll make you delicious and lazy! Shi Tianji taught the iron kettle a lesson while fighting.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch......" The iron kettle was beaten and rolled all over the ground, and it wailed.
"I hit you for your own good. In the future, you have to remember to be a down-to-earth person. Remember? Shi Tianji saw that the iron kettle was rolling all over the snow, and stopped.
"Remembered, remembered. Be a good man, I must be a good man! The iron kettle didn't want to continue to suffer from flesh and skin, so he had to agree.
"Just remember. You think I want to beat you, but I'm too lazy to do this, but if you don't educate and educate you, you will never be able to change! Shi Tianji threw aside the branch in his hand, glared at the iron kettle head fiercely for the last time, and then strode after the team.
"Ouch, this business is ...... was beaten ...... fat" It wasn't until he saw Shi Tianji walking away that the iron kettle got up from the snow and limped towards the road he came.
