Chapter 14: A Blizzard Stands in the Way
"Why did this snow last so long?"
"Don't talk about the main peak, I feel a little cold here now!"
"What a strange year! Even in the western forest, you can wear a summer dress! But once you get here......"
"Who's to say it isn't? I really don't know what's going on on the main peak now! ”
"It is said that ...... It only snowed in that place, not even on the summit! ”
"Forget it, consider yourself unlucky. Only wait for the next year! ”
After Chen Yu and Qianxia passed through the western forest, they approached the main peak of the secluded mountain range, and as the altitude increased, the temperature became lower and lower.
Meeting a traveler is not a strange thing in the mountains.
But if you meet a large number of travelers in a short period of time, then things are a little abnormal.
At least what Chen Yu saw, most of the travelers' faces were somewhat helpless and lost.
Especially the closer you get to the main peak, the more travelers you meet, and the loss on their faces is more obvious.
Although they can occasionally be heard exchanging conversations, there is still no way to sort out useful information just by intermittent words.
So after enduring it for a long time, Chen Yu's curiosity finally exploded, stopped a traveler who came back from the main peak, and asked the question in his heart.
"Hello! Excuse me, are you planning to go to Yuanzhu City? ”
The one who was stopped in the way was a young man, dressed very ordinary.
"You are?" The young man was stopped by Chen Yu, and he was a little puzzled for a while, and asked subconsciously.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself just now, I'm a pokemon trainer, this is my buddy, and we're going to hike from the secluded mountains to Yuanzhu City! Very curious, there were many people coming down from the main peak before...... Excuse me, what happened? ”
Chen Yu first briefly introduced himself, and then put forward the key points.
"Oh! It turns out that he is also a travel friend! But...... If you're going to go to Mahonju on foot, forget it! ”
"Uh-huh? Is it something that's going on up front? ”
In the face of Chen Yu's question, the young man was not annoyed, and continued to answer: "It's not a big deal, the heavy snow has closed the mountain, but if you want to hike to Yuanzhu City, it's basically no fun!" ”
Heavy snow covers the mountains?
Chen Yu paused slightly when he heard this, and then quietly looked at Qianxia's expression, and after seeing that Qianxia still looked cute, he continued to ask again.
"Is everyone gone?"
"Of course not! Of course, there will still be some who will move on! But I always feel like it's not very wise! ”
"Okay! Good! Thank you! ”
After the young man smiled generously, he continued to move in the direction of Manjin City, and before leaving, he warned Chen Yu not to be reckless, the snowstorm on the high mountains was no joke.
"Qianxia, let's go ahead and see! If there is a real snowstorm, let's go back to Manjin City and set off from the Union National Highway, is it okay? ”
"No problem!"
Regarding Chen Yu's proposal, Qianxia did not refute it. In her opinion, in fact, Chen Yu can make decisions about these things by himself, and he doesn't need to ask her.
Because she has no travel experience, she is also preparing to "hug her thighs" when she goes out this time!
After a brief and effective discussion, the two moved on.
After that, more and more travelers were encountered, and even some people who made a living by running errands also returned.
These people who make a living by running errands will become businessmen for the time being.
Runaway merchants are entrusted with the delivery of some special items. Or it's to deliver general items to a special place.
The salary of a runaway businessman is related to the time it takes to complete their work tasks.
You know, if it weren't for a particularly serious situation, these runaway merchants would not return easily.
Because for them, time is money, and the sooner things are delivered, the higher their pay.
But in front of him, there is no longer more than one runaway merchant walking back in frustration, and the number is still increasing.
Seeing this, Chen Yu's pace couldn't help but speed up a point, and he really wanted to see what stopped these people from moving forward, was it really that blizzard?!
According to what the young man said just now, there will still be some people who choose to move forward. But even the runaway merchants have withdrawn, so what is the purpose of these people?
The most interesting thing about traveling is that you will encounter all kinds of unexpected events. And experiencing or solving these things is the joy of it.
This is something that cannot be given by the Union National Highway, a fixed mode of transport.
In the world of elves, who would love that cookie-cutter fixed pattern?!
With an extremely unbearable curiosity, Chen Yu took Qianxia and finally came to the entrance of the main peak.
It is said that it is the entrance to the main peak, but it is actually a checkpoint or something like this mountain.
In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from smuggling and selling contraband, the Elf Alliance has set up checkpoints in the depths of some mountains and rivers. And the checkpoint in the secluded mountains is set up here.
Just stepping into the confines of this checkpoint, Chen Yu felt a chill for no reason. At the same time, Qianxia beside him also seemed to feel the biting cold, and couldn't help but shiver.
Pushing open the wooden door of the checkpoint, the two of them were greeted by a sparse crowd.
Originally, it was supposed to be relatively crowded here, but it was only because of the snowstorm and other reasons that most people would turn back, and there were naturally a lot fewer people here.
"Oh? Do you want to hike through secluded mountains again? ”
"It's still a little couple! Pity...... The secluded mountains in winter are not a romantic place! ”
"Are you travelers preparing to cross the secluded mountains and then head to Enju City?"
The people seated, although somewhat sparse, were clearly divided into three groups.
The first group, which seems to be adventure lovers or something, is more or less physically robust, at least everyone seems to be in good spirits.
The second group didn't see what was going on, and the uniform was somewhat similar to the uniform of the organization.
The last group has only one person, but his identity is probably the most obvious presence here.
Because he is wearing a guard's uniform, there is the logo of the Elf Alliance on his chest and shoulders, and this kind of dress means that he is most likely in charge here.
And it was he who questioned Chen Yu and Qianxia.
"Uh-huh! Yes! Here's my identification! ”
After Chen Yu answered, he immediately handed over the elf illustrated book.
In the face of the Elf Alliance, the most direct proof of identity is the Elf Illustrated Book.
Really!
The person in charge of the checkpoint, after taking the elf illustrated book handed over by Chen Yu and browsing it, looked at the two of them with a softer gaze.
"If there is nothing urgent, my personal suggestion is to turn back to Manjin City!"
The person in charge handed it to Chen Yu, and the elf illustrated book admonished at the same time.
"May I ask, is it because of the blizzard?" Chen Yu asked tentatively.
The person in charge of the checkpoint did not answer directly, but walked to the table on the side, picked up a few photos, and handed them to Chen Yu.
And Chen Yu, who took the photo, just glanced at it, and instantly lost his heart.
This...... Where is this blizzard?
It's a disaster!
