1. Descend on the Ice City
This northeast is cold, but he has personally experienced it. Unlike the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, which causes the loss of body surface heat due to strong winds, the cold in the northeast is infiltrated into the bones.
Northeast people keep out the cold, in addition to the warm indoor temperature and thick cotton clothes, it is hot and spicy wine.
In the winter of the Northeast, the air seems to be frozen and cracked, and the hands and feet will soon be numb from the cold. Many Northeast people like to carry wine with them, and when they feel cold, they take a sip casually, so that the hot and spicy soju burns the body to resist the wind, frost, rain and snow.
Over time, this amount of alcohol has also been practiced. It is said that people in the Northeast can drink and drink violently, but they don't know that they are forced by life and forced out.
Northerners pay attention to eating dumplings in Lidong, saying that dumplings are shaped like ears, and eating dumplings can prevent frozen ears. Especially the people of the Northeast pay special attention to this custom, for fear that their ears will freeze.
China is a delicious nation, and it can be seen from various festivals and folk customs, and when it comes to festivals, some people will ask what to eat.
In addition to eating dumplings during the Spring Festival, eating Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival, eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, and eating moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also spring cakes in the beginning of spring, cold food in Qingming, Qiqiao fruit on Qixi Festival, and Chongyang cakes on the Chongyang Festival.
In such a cold weather, it doesn't matter, who wants to go to the Northeast to suffer from the cold.
He was really a little frightened, how could he explain it like Li Ruoxi, and he didn't know how long he was going to go on this trip, and what dangers he encountered, he was really reluctant to leave, but fate guided him, and this expedition was imperative.
Changbai Mountain is so vast, running through the three provinces of Liao, Ji and Hei, to find a lightning tree, it is like looking for a needle in the sea. It is necessary to find the old inhabitants who have been walking in the mountains for many years before it is possible to find out the exact clues.
It was another sleepless night, and he was in a dilemma before he could get out. He thought about it for a long time before he finally came up with a reasonable plan.
The reason for going to the Northeast, he can deduce, and his cousin inspected the Northeast mountain goods market.
His cousin Gao Feng has settled in Harbin, mainly engaged in logistics and transportation, which can give a lot of convenience in the transportation link, and the ginseng, fungus, mountain mushrooms and other mountain goods in the northeast are very rich, this business is promising in the north, but it is reasonable.
As for looking for local customers in the Northeast to lead them into the mountains to hunt for treasures, it can also be achieved through the cousin's network.
Of course, this treasure hunt is full of a lot of uncertainties, and he doesn't have much confidence in his own ability.
He thought of the mysterious guy whose hometown was in the Northeast and might still be playing in the Northeast - Tonghai Zhenren.
This guy has always been unrestrained, not to mention how profound his cultivation of Taoism is, but he has rich enough experience, and this person is heroic and funny, and he is a friend worth making.
Although it is inevitable to ask Tonghai to help this time, it is inevitable that he will break the bank, but with the hospitality of the Northeast people, that guy naturally has to take good care of himself.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, he couldn't wait to talk to Tonghai real people on the phone.
This guy is quite sleepy, and there is a woman's complaining voice next to him, this stinky Taoist priest actually asks for flowers and willows, but it is no wonder that they don't pay attention to these things.
That guy was a little irritable, but when he heard that Zhao Yuankang came to the Northeast to hunt for treasure, he immediately cheered up, patted his chest and packed the ticket, it's right to look for him in the Northeast, my brother will treat you well.
In the end, the two of them had a price of 3,000 yuan to complete the transaction of this Changbai Mountain expedition.
He called his cousin Gao Feng again, only saying that he wanted to go over to play for a few days, go to Changbai Mountain with his friends to find some medicinal materials, and ask him to help find a senior old customer.
His cousin can only come back once a year during the Spring Festival, and in the past two years, Zhao Yuankang has disappeared, and the brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and they are naturally very excited when they hear that their cousin is coming.
When he arrived at the Chinese Studies Society, he finished the morning meeting, and after arranging various tasks, he called Li Ruoxi to the office to chat, and by the way, he told her about going to the Northeast to inspect mountain goods.
"Then can you take me there, I'm tired of going to class all day here." Li Ruoxi begged.
"This ...... I'm not going to play, I'm doing errands, besides, how cold it is over there, you're already weak, don't go and suffer. He used Ruoxi's weak body as an excuse, which was both a comfort and a refusal.
"No, you're leaving, I'm even more bored here, I'll wear more, I heard that the ice lanterns in Harbin are beautiful now, I haven't been there, I promise to be obedient, if you don't let me go, I'll accompany your cousin and daughter-in-law."
As soon as his girlfriend said this, he also softened a little, since he returned, he hasn't traveled with her, he was going to play on the eleventh, but he didn't expect that the Blood Cube task was issued, and a sweet trip was lost.
This time, although it was also an opportunity to borrow the Blood Rubik's Cube, he still couldn't bear to reject her categorically, after all, in the past few years, the two have gathered less and left more, and if there is no firm emotional foundation, I am afraid that they will have separated long ago.
He has always felt guilty about his girlfriend, and he doesn't know if he will have a chance to go out with her in the future, so it is better to take this opportunity to relax together and enhance the relationship.
As for going into the mountains to explore treasures, you only need to go with Tonghai by yourself, and you can place her in her cousin's house.
"Okay, but you can wear more clothes, don't catch a cold, be obedient over there, I'll run errands, and you'll be at your cousin's house." He solemnly admonished.
"Well, I'm the most obedient. Oh, I'm going to Tohoku. She hugged him excitedly, like a child celebrating the New Year.
He also had an epiphany about this, originally he found a reason for a long time, afraid that his girlfriend would worry, and wanted to face the future danger alone, but his girlfriend was very naïve and just wanted him to accompany him more, and he didn't think too much about it.
People's troubles come from looking ahead, thinking deeply, thinking a lot, although there is a perfect ending of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles", but it makes people live a very tired life.
Zhuge Liang was called "wise and almost demonic" by later generations, "bowed to the end, and died", worked hard for Shu Han all his life, and in the end, he died of exhaustion and weakness, which became a regret for the ages.
He figured it out, and he was relieved in his heart, everything depends on fate, don't leave regrets in the future.
He sent a WeChat message to his cousin Gao Feng again, explaining that he went with his girlfriend this time, after all, if he wanted to trouble people to settle and take care of his girlfriend, he had to win their consent.
My cousin didn't have anything to say to himself, but after all, he was married, and he had to discuss a lot of things with his daughter-in-law. And the cousin-in-law is a local, and the cousin is somewhat involved over there, if it is inconvenient, it is better to go to the hotel, and don't affect the feelings of other couples.
Gao Feng replied to him after a while, "Welcome cousin and sister-in-law to Harbin, everything is arranged, come to live at home, lively." ”
Before he got off work, he called Wang Haoran and Xiangzi, explained the situation of going to the Northeast with Li Ruoxi to do business, and asked the two to help take care of the affairs of the Chinese Studies Society.
"Hehe, you kid has been to the world of two, let us guard the door for you, what's the benefit?" Shoko said dissatisfied.
"When I come back, Northeast mountain goods, Harbin Red Square, Shaojiu, are indispensable to you, and you should be rewarded for your New Year's goods."
With these two right-hand men, he can go out and run errands with peace of mind. Naturally, he gave it generously.
Zhao Yuankang and Li Ruoxi booked two express sleeper tickets and came to the ice city of Harbin at 4 pm on December 6.
As soon as I got out of the train station, there were snowflakes in the sky, and the ground was already white, but fortunately, the two of them were prepared, wearing thickened down cotton pants and boots with felt fur, and wearing thickened thermal underwear, sweaters, and down coats on the upper body, wearing leather gloves on their hands, wearing hats on their heads, and pulling the collar to their heads, leaving only the bridge of their noses to their eyebrows.
"Hey, cousin, where are you! What are you wearing, oh, you stand there and don't move, I see you. ”
A tall and thin man appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then recognized it as his cousin Gao Feng.
"Oh, good boy, he's growing taller again." He stepped forward and gave his cousin a hug.
"Cousin, this is my cousin, it's so beautiful, cousin, hello, I'm Gao Feng." He politely introduced to Li Ruoxi.
"Hello." Her face was red, but her heart was warm.
Gao Feng drove towards his house, and the wind and snow were blowing all the way, and there were already ice sculptures standing on the streets.
"This ice sculpture is so beautiful!" Li Ruoxi exclaimed.
"Cousin-in-law, this is nothing, I'll take you to the Ice and Snow World at night to have a look, that's the real Ice and Snow Kingdom." Gao Feng said proudly.
"Okay, the air here is so fresh." A smile appeared on her face for the first time in a long time.
