That night, we slept in a small hotel in town. There were more than 30 of us in total, and there were not enough beds in one small hotel, so we had no choice but to rent another one.

Unfortunately, not only does this small hotel in a remote place have no air conditioning, but there is not even an electric blanket. Guess how we get warm? The boss boiled the water, filled the infusion bottle used in the hospital, threw it into the quilt, and that's it.

I didn't dare to take off my clothes and socks, so I got into the quilt and felt like I was sleeping on ice. You have to say that the hot water bottle is useless, it's still very hot if you accidentally touch it, but there is no temperature in the quilt at all.

I shivered for a few hours wrapped in two quilts, but I still didn't feel warmer, but I was so sleepy that I actually fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I could only hear the sound of "Ah Qiu" here and "Ah Qiu" there, and basically everyone had a cold. Everyone hugged their arms and curled up in a ball, stomping their feet desperately.

When I opened the door of the small hotel, the cold wind came in through the crack in the door, making a "whining" sound. Outside, the lead clouds were like ink, and the goose-feathered snow was falling from the lead clouds.

"Boss, it's really hard for you to make this money." The king stomped his feet and rubbed his hands together and said, "Look at the weather...... Can you add a little more? ”

"Okay, triple as well." I didn't know how much Tang Jiang promised them how much they were paid, so I immediately said cheerfully.

The workers cheered and immediately got busy.

The crystal coffin of Emperor Jianwen was locked in the compartment of a large cart. I opened the carriage, and the workers worked together to remove the crystal coffin little by little, and put on the ropes that were arm thick, and put two very thick and large long bars on both sides. Then, put a snare on the long bar, pass through a small bar, and lift a small bar for every two people.

Zhou Decai "crackled" and set off a string of firecrackers, and thirty-two people shouted together: "Get up!" Noisily, he lifted the crystal coffin and left.

The crystal coffin was quite heavy, but it was much easier for thirty-two people to carry it together.

The sky was overcast, the snow was rippling, and there was a sound of "rustling" far and near. There are no figures, no chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats, all the animals don't know where to hide, and there seems to be no life in the world.

A thin layer of snow had begun to accumulate on the ground, and the road was slippery.

Zhu'er walked in the front, constantly punching and kicking, and using exercise to expel the cold.

The workers were laughing and laughing all the way, very happy, full of the spirit of so-called optimism. Seriously, I've often seen a group of people like them get together, giggling, and they don't seem to have any trouble at all. And they don't seem to be pretending, so many times I don't quite understand: others think that they live a hard life, and they should be sad all day long, why are they so happy?

"Lao Wang, your big feet stand firm, don't slip!"

"Black dog, don't just talk about others, be careful that your butt * stock is broken in half!"

"Lao Tzu's butt * stock is originally two halves, only your butt * stock is only half!"

"Hey, black dog, how do you know he's only half of his ass?"

“……”

A group of people are giggling, but they are not lonely.

The road was difficult to walk, and there were several dangerous situations along the way, and the crystal coffin almost fell to the ground. However, with the efforts of everyone, the danger was finally saved.

The road usually takes only four hours, but this time, it took us nearly six hours to see the village of Yuanbao in the valley from afar. There are still about two or three miles to go down from this mountain, and it is the most difficult section to walk, which is constantly narrow, and steep, not only steep, but also very slippery.

At this time, there was already a white expanse near and far, without any people and animals. The houses of dozens of families in Yuanbao Village lay quietly in the valley, looking lifeless, as if the entire village had died.

The coffin could not be placed directly on the ground, so the workers took two sections of wood and put the crystal coffin on it, ready to rest for a while before walking this section of the most difficult mountain road.

Everyone smoked in a leeward place.

I didn't smoke, I stood at the intersection and looked down at the village of Yuanbao below. Zhu'er stood beside me, five brothers from the Sword Brother Guard stood behind me, and one brother from the Sword Brother Guard followed Tang Jiang and they had already gone down yesterday.

The cold wind was blowing.

Zhu'er put her hands to her mouth, took a breath of hot air, rubbed it vigorously, and said, "Master, are you worried about the snow monster?" ”

"A little." I say.

Actually, I'm not worried about snow monsters. I don't believe that snow monsters really exist, but they may not be unreasonable, maybe because of the strange phenomenon caused by other ghosts, but they were misunderstood by the villagers. It's because I don't know what the reason is, that's why I'm a little worried.

Zhu'er hit two straight punches and said, "The master doesn't need to worry, even if there is really a snow monster, Zhu'er will beat him flat." Oh no, it was he who wept and cried out a lot of pearls, and the master had not made a fortune? Hee-hee. ”

As he was talking, a brother from the Sword Brother Guard suddenly said, "Someone is coming." ”

I hurriedly looked down the mountain, and saw a man leaping up from the bottom of the mountain, very fast. Such a good skill, it should be the brother of our Sword Brother Guard.

The man quickly came to the mountain, and sure enough, it was the brother who arrived first with Tang Jiang, and bowed in front of me.

"How's the preparation going here?" I asked.

The brother frowned slightly and said, "Something is not going well. ”

"What's wrong?" Pearls and I asked in unison.

The brother said, "Guo Hongjin took us last night, and we arrived here at about midnight. Originally, we wanted to go directly to see Feng Shui, but when we arrived, there was a sound of dogs barking, which woke up everyone in the village. The villagers, probably thinking that thieves were coming, rushed out with clubs and hoes, and surrounded us. ”

I said, "Guo Hongjin is from their village, just explain it to them." ”

The brother said: "Guo Hongjin told them, but those villagers not only did not leave, but quarreled even more fiercely, saying that this is the feng shui treasure of their Yuanbao Village, and outsiders are never allowed to come to bury them." Tang Jiang was inconvenient to explain the origin of Emperor Jianwen, and when he couldn't say a few words, those villagers rushed up and beat us up......"

At this time, I realized that the brother had two bruises on his head.

"You've been tricked too? It's useless, and even a few villagers can't beat it. Zhu'er pouted.

The brother touched a bag on his forehead and said, "Tang Jiang is not allowed to fight back, so I also took two beatings." Now we have withdrawn from the village and are waiting in a bamboo grove at the entrance of the village, waiting for the master to come up with an idea. If we want to come hard, we will immediately rush in and beat those villagers to him, and they are not our opponents! ”

At this point, the brother looked indignant, and it seemed that he had been beaten a few times, and his heart was very unhappy.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Then I'll go check it out." Then he turned back to the workers and said loudly: "Look around, see if there is any dry wood, make a fire and bake it first, and I will go and see it and then come back and call you." ”

The workers agreed, "Boss, go ahead." ”

So, the brother who came to report was in front, Zhu'er and I were in the middle, and the six brothers of the Sword Brother Guard followed behind, walking down the mountain.

I know the bamboo forest that the brother said, not far from the entrance of the village, and the thick snow that has been covered at this time has bent the master of Xiuzhi.

Still far away, I heard a commotion.

I hurried to the pace, and saw a group of villagers with sticks, brooms, hoes, and other things, beating the few people in the middle, screaming angrily. The voices were so cluttered that I couldn't make out what they were calling.

"Get Tang Jiang out of them, remember not to hurt people." I said in a deep voice.

The brothers of the seven Dao Brother Guards immediately jumped over in two, pulled the villagers on the periphery and shook their hearts, and immediately threw several people out, grabbed and threw them together, and drove more than 100 people away in a short time.

Tang Jiang and seven or eight other people squatted there with their heads in their hands, and when they heard the sound, they raised their heads, all of them with blue noses and swollen faces.
