Trapped by the snow and suffering from hunger and cold, the travelers were unable to make the way home, so they took refuge in the snow. As the host here, Li Xiao did not turn them away, but welcomed them very warmly, turned on the heating inside the house, and served hot wontons.

After all, in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone gathered in this Xiaoyao Villa, which can be regarded as a rare fate.

Now.

The sky outside was covered with goose feathers and snow, the cold wind was howling, and the earth was powdered with ice, which looked extremely cold.

However, in the villa, it is completely different, with bright lights and a large number of people, exuding a warm atmosphere.

"I don't even know what to say to be grateful." One of the men said, his red eyes faintly glowing with a few drops of crystal.

The others also echoed it, and their words were full of gratitude.

At the same time, when their hearts were full of warmth, they were also surprised in their hearts. Because, the scale of this Xiaoyao Villa is too large, up and down, covering an area of more than ten acres, and the decoration style of the mansion is also antique.

Looking through the doors and windows, you can see the dragon eaves and phoenix horns in the villa, the winding path in the cloister, the rockery is lined up, and there is an artificial pond in the center of the courtyard, the trickle intersects, it looks like a magnificent garden, but it is full of content in the luxury.

Although they can get a rough glimpse of the outline when they are outside, when they actually come to this mountain villa, they are still shocked by the luxurious scene they see.

With such a large mountain villa, I don't know how many rooms and rooms there are, and if you visit them all, I'm afraid it will take half a day, right? What kind of money is required to build such a huge mountain villa here, it is simply staggering.

They are sighing in their hearts, they are really rich and capricious.

To be fortunate enough to be able to celebrate the New Year in such a luxurious mountain villa, the group felt extremely flattered.

Although they can't rush home on Chinese New Year's Eve, they really feel a different kind of warmth on this snowy night, which is quite rare.

Li Xiao waved his hand when he heard this, and said in a joking tone: "I'm also very happy, before the New Year's Eve is over, you will come to my house to pay New Year's greetings." ”

The words made many travelers present laugh.

……

……

Li Xiao's joke seemed to be a good spice, and suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene became more enthusiastic.

After they had finished their dinner, several travelers rushed to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then everyone sat around the fire.

At this time, the blazing flames continued to beat, shining a fiery red light, reflecting the reddened cheeks of the people, and at the same time driving away the harsh chill.

It was snowing heavily, and a group of people had nothing else to sit on, just like that, talking to each other while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

After some conversations, Li Xiao also got to know them a little.

Their hometown is not in Anseong, but from all over the world, some go to school in Anseong, some are working, and some find jobs and settle down here, and their lives are stable.

It's just that, perhaps because the heavens are not beautiful, they can't get away because of work or various reasons, so they will choose to embark on the return journey home on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is indeed a bit rushed.

However, none of them thought that on the way home, they would encounter a huge snowstorm that has been rare for so many years, and even the mountain road was directly blocked, and their journey home was also delayed.

However, their luck was good, they found the Escape Mountain Villa, where they could avoid the snow, at least they didn't have to struggle in the snowy nights, otherwise such a big blizzard, it was very likely that something dangerous would happen in the mountains, and there was no doubt about it.

Although everyone is a stranger who met in Pingshui, when they sit around and talk, various topics are interspersed together, sharing their joys, sorrows and sorrows in the past year, some laughter, some melancholy, and some touching, like a group of good friends, telling all kinds of things that have happened in the past year.

It's like a long road of life, and you can always experience a variety of flavors, but the old will always resign, and the new will always come.

Li Xiao also saw their desire to go home from their eyes.

As the saying goes, if you have money or not, go home for the New Year, after all, home is the warmest and most caring harbor.

When talking to each other, everyone's friendship seems to be closer.

At this time, the rebroadcast of the party program on TV seems to be coming to an end. At the last moment, in the atmosphere of joy and festivity, the classic and familiar melody was also sung again.

"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight

No matter the ends of the world and the cape

Shenzhou thousands of miles in the same embrace"

Everyone followed the sound and looked at the TV together, and they couldn't help but beat the beat and hum along with the familiar rhythm.

……

Although it is the same song and the same melody, it seems that every year I listen to it has a different feeling, but this year the feeling is even more profound.

Until about three o'clock in the morning, after a day of traveling, these travelers also had a feeling of tiredness in their hearts, yawning constantly, their eyelids were slightly heavy, and they also needed to rest.

In Xiaoyao Villa, the least lacking thing is the room, Li Xiao has already arranged a place for them to rest, and after saying goodnight to each other, everyone also went to rest.

……

……

This blizzard was very heavy and extremely rare, but it was as if God knew that today was a festive season, so this blizzard did not last too long, and by eight o'clock in the morning, the snow also became smaller, from goose feather snow to long fine snow, and at half past ten, the snow really stopped.

Because of the arrival of this heavy snowfall, the mountains and fields are covered in snow, covered in snow, icy and snowy.

The sun that popped out of the clouds was like a golden wheel sparing no effort to emit its light and heat, illuminating the silver-white velvet carpet a little dazzling.

In the afternoon, more than a dozen travelers said goodbye to Li Xiao and prepared to embark on the journey home.

Although the snow on the road is very deep, it is a bit dangerous to go on the road at this time, but they are like arrows, each of them can't wait, want to return to the home that makes them dream, seeing this situation, Li Xiao no longer stayed, instructed a few words, and then pointed out a relatively safe way out of the mountain for them, until he saw their figures, gradually disappeared, disappeared in sight, he turned around and walked into the villa.

After returning to the villa, Li Xiao did not return to his room, but walked through a path in the courtyard and entered an underground secret room.

This secret room was designed by a top designer when he was building the villa, and it was specially forbidden by Li Xiao.

It is precisely for this reason that this chamber can withstand huge impacts, with special mechanisms inside to effectively block odors and impacts, and its exterior can easily defend against the bombardment of 100 tons of equivalent explosives, which can be described as rock-solid and unbreakable.

This is not only a place for him to practice, but also an alchemy room for alchemy, it has a device for collecting aura, and at the same time, it can also effectively prevent aura or medicinal fragrance from diffusing out, the design is very ingenious.

However, during the construction, Li Xiao did not rest assured that others would come, but went into battle himself, and it took more than ten days to build, and it was precisely because of this that no one else knew about this secret room except himself.

……

……

Closing the stone door from the inside, Li Xiao walked into the secret room, his mind was called, and with a flash of yellow light, an alchemy furnace appeared on the ground paved with white jade diamonds, and on the desk next to him, a lot of alchemy medicinal materials were conjured out of thin air.

It's just that these are not natural treasures like mermaid teardrops, but relatively elementary and simple medicinal materials.

Without him, the elixir that Li Xiao refined was not for himself, but for his family.

Therefore, he has to consider the degree to which their physique can bear it, and according to this, he will refine some elixirs that strengthen the body and benefit the body, although it cannot be like the miraculous effects such as the Qi Gathering Pill and the Condensing Pill taken by Li Xiao, but it can enhance their physique, dispel diseases and eliminate disasters, fill qi and blood, relax muscles and activate the nerves, so as to achieve the effect of prolonging life.

Li Xiao's heart condensed slightly, his eyes swept over the medicinal materials on the desk, and after making sure that it was correct, he slowly raised his left hand, and very skillfully dragged these medicinal materials into the corresponding giant ding furnace, confirming that they could be smelted best.

At the same time, Li Xiao's right hand was raised, his palm rotated like a circle, and then he gently printed forward.

All around, those relatively soft fire system vitality, like floating ions, quickly converged towards the position of the fire mouth, and quickly swallowed, appearing to be bright and uncertain.

Li Xiao was dedicated to two purposes, while grasping the timing, pulling those medicinal materials and slowly putting them in, and at the same time, he also had to grasp the fire, not only to let those flames fully contact the medicinal materials.

Of course, it can't be because the firepower is too fierce, if there is a slight negligence, those medicinal materials may be roasted into fly ashes, and the previous efforts will be wasted, and the control of the fire is very important, but with the improvement of Li Xiao's alchemy technique, it has reached the point where it is as easy as a weight, and refining these beginner-level pills is also a breeze.

Immediately, a gentle and intense flame also flickered and burned, and the brilliant firelight suddenly shone in yellow light, shining in the entire secret room.

"Hula!"

Accompanied by the crackling sound, the medicinal materials in the hearth are also rapidly melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into viscous liquids, and then, under the scorching of the source fire, slowly solidifying and recombining, turning into round and well-proportioned shapes, at the same time, there is also a rich and fragrant smell of danxiang, and in an instant, it fills the entire alchemy room.

……

……

In the afternoon, Li Xiao refined three primary-level pills.

After dinner, while the family was sitting around the table, at this time, Li Xiao also hurriedly took out these primary-level pills and gave them to Li Tongshan, Xie Ping and Li Bin, one for each person, after all, this is an elixir, not a meal, so naturally he can't be greedy.

"Ah Xiao, what is this you gave us?" Li Tongshan pointed to the brown pill in his palm, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Dad, this is a new health care drug recently developed by my company, which has not yet been marketed, but it is very beneficial to the body after eating it." ”

Li Xiao's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he brought out the rhetoric that he had thought of a long time ago.

After Li Tongshan and Xie Ping heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, isn't his son a technology company, why is he still developing health care drugs, and he hasn't heard Li Xiao say it before?

Without waiting for them to ask, Li Xiao directly explained: "Dad, Mom, now my company's benefits are good, so I want to increase the scale and expand the industry, and this new drug has only recently been developed, rest assured, this new drug has been tested many times, it is absolutely safe and healthy, and does not contain any side effects, I can guarantee this." ”

Li Tongshan and Xie Ping are still a little skeptical, the second elder has never taken much medicine or health products, because they always feel that medicine is poisonous, even if they are sick or something, they will try not to take medicine if they can not take medicine.

"But it smells pretty similar." Li Bin took the primary-grade pill in his hand under his nose, sniffed it deeply, and a fragrant fragrance suddenly penetrated into the tip of his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy, as if he had been empowered, Li Bin looked at it carefully a few more times, and complained: "Anyway, how does this look like the "magic medicine" in the TV series, so it shouldn't be Mai Lisu." ”

Li Xiao's cheeks twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

This guy's association ability is really strong enough, but, after Li Bin said this, this elixir seems to be really a bit like Mai Lisu, I have to say that if you throw away the medicinal power, the two still look very similar, and in fact, the pills that appear in film and television dramas are replaced by Mai Lisu during filming.

Li Xiao still remembers that there seemed to be a joke circulating on the Internet before: a magical Mai Lisu saved countless people in the TV series.

Whether it is injured and unconscious, or when the body is highly poisonous, or when the cultivation encounters a bottleneck, as long as a pill (Mai Lisu) goes down, it is guaranteed to be alive immediately, just like a nobody, it is simply a panacea to get rid of it.

It is estimated that when those actors are filming these plots, they can't help but want to laugh in their hearts.
