Xiao Shrimp and Millet happily opened the way in front and ran to a cliff in the southwest corner, only to see that the top and bottom of the cliff were covered with a thick layer of vines. When Bai Die and Xiaolan were looking for the entrance before, they had been here, and when they touched the rocks with their sticks, they gave up and walked away.

At this time, Xiao Shrimp and Millet separated from the vine together, leaking out a stone door, less than one and a half meters high, only one meter wide, in terms of the height of the snowman, the entry and exit are very wide, but Pila, White Butterfly, and Xiaolan can only enter by bending down and bowing their heads.

The entrance is a flat field, and on the west side of the flat ground is a wide stone staircase, which of course is also for the snowman. There are two teams of samurai on the stone steps, each holding a weapon and holding their heads high, this set of postures showing might, in the eyes of Bai Die and Xiaolan, is like a kindergarten teacher checking the children's game, the more they want to show might, the more funny and interesting it seems. It seems that the king's efforts have been in vain.

After walking the stone steps, Bai Die and Xiaolan first felt a wave of warmth, and when they went out, they saw that there was a three-acre field in front of them, planted with various vegetables and fruits, all of which were carefully cultivated by the snowman. The snowman is originally short, but every vegetable here is taller than the snowman, and every fruit is the size of the snowman's head. Bai Die looked at it and thought: This place is rich in real estate, I don't know how many snowmen in the country are fed?

There are more than 1,000 small holes carved out of the stone wall around the countryside, and a family lives in each small hole, all of which are gathered together or scattered along with the mountain. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Guests have arrived—turn on the lights!" So the lights of these thousands of houses were lit up one after another, and they converged into a sea of lights, which was magnificent. What surprised Bai Die and Xiaolan especially was that those lights were all electric lights!

Seeing the surprise on the faces of the two, Pyra said, "These lamps are all eliminated from the Great Snow Mountain and thrown away as garbage." ”

Xiaolan asked, "What about electricity?" ”

Bai Die smiled and said, "Naturally, it was stolen by the Great Snow Mountain. ”

Pyra hurriedly said to the two, "You two pay attention, if a snowman takes something from the Elders of the Great Snow Mountain, they can't call it stealing. I'll explain the reasons for this to you slowly after dinner. Pay attention to your words before them, and do not provoke them. ”

The two nodded again and again, saying yes.

Xiao Shrimp and Millet led them up to an avenue in the middle of the countryside, leading directly to the cliff to the north, where hundreds of tables of banquets had been set up. Xiaolan looked up at the sky and asked Pila, "They are so fanfare, aren't they afraid that people outside will find out?" ”

Pila laughs and says, "The top of this cliff is densely covered with vines and woven into cloth, and even in broad daylight, the bottom of the cliff is as dark as night. Coupled with the perennial fog in mid-air, if you want to find this three-acre land in this snow-capped mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, it is absolutely impossible. ”

When she arrived at the north cliff, Bai Die saw a slightly larger cave under the cliff, which should be the palace of the Yeti Kingdom. The banquet was placed in front of the palace, and the king and queen sat high in the middle seat, only to see that the king was wearing a crown made of white plastic on his head, and a dragon robe made of yellow curtains, and the whole person was white and fat, twice as big as an ordinary snowman. The clothes of ordinary snowmen are colorful, except for the lack of yellow.

Pyrrha led them to the king and reported, "Your Majesty, the two women who have strayed into my Yeti kingdom have now been brought down the stairs and asked the king to summon them." ”

The king's eyes widened slightly, and he hummed softly.

Pila turned to White Butterfly and Xiaolan and said, "Please come forward and meet His Majesty." ”

The two stepped forward, not knowing how to salute, so they bent down and bowed.

The king saw that the etiquette of the two men was very rudimentary, and there was a dissatisfaction on his face.

An old man with white hair next to him said, "They are people from outside the mountain, and they don't know our etiquette, please don't blame Your Majesty." ”

The king snorted and waved his hand to signal them to be excused.

Xiao Shrimp and Millet came over and led Bai Butterfly and Xiao Lan to their seats. The seats were very small, and the two of them felt like children playing at home, so they had to hold back their laughter.

At this time, I heard the king say: "Fellow citizens of the Yeti Country, today is the 2226th 'Mountain Return Festival'. Alas, it has been held for 2,226 years, which means that we have not returned to the mountain, and it is estimated that it will continue to be held every year......"

When the people at the banquet heard this, they immediately let out a whimpering sound. Bai Die and Xiaolan were puzzled, and looked at the adjacent table to find that they had a sad sound in their throats, and there was no sadness on their faces.

The king said, "Since we cannot return the mountain, we will sit on the mountain and eat the mountain, and eat it from generation to generation, until the people of the Great Snow Mountain are gone!" ”

The people banged on the table again, shouting.

The king stopped crying and said, "Fellow citizens, let us taste with great anticipation the feast they have prepared for us!" ”

People shouted "Long live...... and then the master of ceremonies shouted: "Open the table", and immediately a waiter served wine and food, one after another, with a wide variety. Every time the master of ceremonies announces the name of the dish, the waiter serves a dish, and a total of 18 dishes are served.

I saw the master of ceremonies singing: "Day and day!" ”

The waiter brings the food to you. When the two of them looked at it, the so-called "day and night" turned out to be half a salted duck egg!

The master of ceremonies sang again: "The waves are rough! ”

The waiter brings the food to you. The two of them almost didn't laugh out loud this time, what kind of "choppy", it's clearly a small piece of "instant noodles"!

The master of ceremonies sang again: "Angelica! ”

The waiter brought the food, and the two looked at each other, and couldn't help it anymore: this was clearly the "canned beef" that was lost by 2203 and stolen by the snowmen!

After the banquet was over, Xiao Shrimp and Millet led Bai Die and Xiao Lan to the hotel to rest. This hotel is larger than the houses of ordinary Yeti residents, and the beds inside are also larger, and the two of them took off their shoes and could barely lie down on the bed. Except for a table and two chairs, there was nothing else in the room.

The two of them were about to rest, but they saw Pyra lead an old man in, whom they had seen at the banquet. Pila introduced the two of them and said, "This elder is the national teacher of the Yeti Country, the six-fingered master. ”

The two of them hurriedly got out of bed and came over to greet them. Xiaolan secretly glanced at the six-fingered master's hand holding the cane, and a finger was separated from the thumb of her right hand, which was really six fingers. The Master of Six Fingers waved his hand to signal that they were all excused, and told them to go back to bed and sit down, and then sit down separately with Pila on the chair in front of the table.

When Bai Die saw that the Venerable Master was visiting at night, she knew that something important was going to happen, so she said, "We are new to the world, and we dare not move around at will. ”

The six-fingered master smiled and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." I'm here to ask you for advice. ”

Bai Die and Xiao Lan looked at each other for a moment, and then heard the Master of Six Fingers say, "You probably also know that our people have been living in this cave for more than 2,000 years, and she didn't have her until this year—" Pointing to Pila, "I broke in unintentionally." Until then, we didn't know much about the outside world. So I have to ask the two adults to talk more about the old decay. ”

Xiao Lan understood what he meant, so she said, "Now the outside is the world of the Elders." ”

Bai Die also said: "The Council of Elders controls Nanshan, and five years ago, some backbones of the Beishan Academy of Sciences established the White Light Society, and controlled Beishan by force and declared independence. The Elders were very annoyed, but they didn't rush to do it because they were concerned about the technology in the hands of the White Light Society. ”

The Six-Fingered Master stroked his beard and said, "Pyrrha has told me about technology, but I have never understood what it is. ”

Xiaolan said: "Science and technology means that human beings have gained some knowledge and created by observing the natural world, discovering certain laws, and conducting certain experiments. ”

"For example—" Bai Die took out her phone from her pocket and played a video for the Six Fingers Master, saying, "This is one of the products of technology." ”

The Six-Fingered Master nodded and said, "The creativity of human beings is truly amazing! He also said, "What is the maximum extent of their technology?" ”

Bai Die sighed, and showed the six-fingered master another video, which showed a fleet flying over the Great Snow Mountain, and then said, "Their technology can now raze the Great Snow Mountain to the ground." ”

The Six-Fingered Master was dumbfounded and asked for a long time, "Why did they invent this?" ”

Bai Die and Xiaolan heard this question, and they were also speechless.

The Six-Fingered Master asked, "Do they want to destroy themselves?" ”

White Butterfly shook his head and said, "They want to destroy the enemy......"

"Enemies? ......" The Six-Fingered Master pondered for a moment and then said, "If the enemy also has this kind of technology, if a war starts, won't they all be doomed?" ”

Bai Die said: "If both sides have this kind of technology, they don't dare to start a war easily. ”

The Six-Fingered Master shook his head and sighed, saying, "Then there's really no need to bother with these things. ”

Bai Die said: "It's competitive." In case the technology in my hand is better than the technology in yours, I can control you, and you can only obediently obey and bow down. ”

The six-fingered master was silent for a long time.

Pyra said to White Butterfly: "I escaped with my hands empty, and I didn't bring anything with me, so I don't know what has become of the outside now, you can show me the video of the Great Snow Mountain." ”

Bai Die found a video, one from the Heavenly Street, one from the above-ground palace, and one from the underground palace, and showed them all to Pyra and the Six-Fingered Master.

Pyrrha shuddered as she looked at the familiar sight and recalled distant memories.

Lan touched the white butterfly and motioned for her to see Pila's reaction. White Butterfly only nodded slightly, but did not speak.

When he was done, Pila let out a long breath and bowed his head in silence.

After thinking about it again and again, Bai Die couldn't help it, but still asked, "Venerable Master, I grew up in the Great Snow Mountain, why haven't I heard of a story about a snowman?" That's weird too! ”

The six-fingered master was looking at the electric light on the wall, and when he heard the white butterfly ask, he sighed, "Those who know our story...... They were all slaughtered by the Council of Elders......"

Bai Die glanced at Xiao Lan, who was also very puzzled, and said, "We haven't heard of any race slaughtered by the Elders......

"That was more than 2,000 years ago...... "The Six-Fingered Master just started and stopped, and said to White Butterfly, Xiaolan, and Pila, "I have spent my whole life studying the history of our Yeti Country, and it is difficult to explain the rise and fall of the glory and disgrace of it, and it is difficult to explain the reasons for it in one or two sentences. Do you really want to hear it? ”

All three nodded in unison.

"Okay then." As he spoke, the six-fingered master waved his hand to the little shrimp and millet who were waiting outside the door, and asked them to make three cups of strong coffee for the three ladies, and took out their own cigarette pouches, and while smoking, they told the story of the Yeti Kingdom......
