There was a person in the mountains, but it was a woodcutter who was passing by just now, and he smiled and said, "The spiders just now really scared me......" It turned out that it was because of these spiders that it came back.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Do you really have a way to get there......?"

The woodcutter laughed and said, "The bridge is broken, you can build another one~" As he spoke, he blew a whistle and immediately heard the response of a group of apes, one after another.

After a while, several burly apes flew out, and the reason why they say "fly" is because they all have a pair of strong wings, and they can fly!

The woodcutter smiled and said, "They are called flying apes, referred to as flying monkeys, and they are indispensable to live in the mountains."

The apes immediately pulled up the broken bridge and tied it back to its original place, and the bridge was rebuilt, and then they surrounded it. The woodcutter took out a bunch of bananas from the pyre, and the apes took them without waiting for him to assign them, and several apes made a big fuss.

"Sometimes when I'm tired of picking firewood, I ask them for help...... However, they wouldn't do anything without bananas. ”

Tao Xiaozhi thanked them again and again.

The woodcutter suddenly said: "Are you going to cross the Chixue Mountain? Needless to say, it seems that you know whether you are escaping from the grievances of the rivers and lakes or the pursuit of the imperial court?"

Lan Hao smiled and said, "We're going to visit our relatives in Wind Demon Town."

"Don't lie to me, I don't know who the people who are going to cross this bridge? I'm not the first day to live here......" In addition to the convenience of the people in the mountains, this bridge is actually a fugitive like them, which is obvious.

"Do you know who we are?" their eyes became wary, though their limbs had not moved.

"I don't know. The woodcutter touched the slag and looked at the sword in Tao Xiaozhi's hand, "Even if I don't know you, I know the sword in your hand." ”

"Do you know Laugh Swim?"

"Many years ago, he also passed by this place, and he and I had a relationship......

It was only then that they took a serious look at the woodcutter: a burly old man with tanned skin, his muscles not yet sagging, a gray beard on his face, surprisingly few wrinkles, but his eyes were vicissitudes, tired and lifeless, and his hat was half-covered.

At this time, near the evening, the sun sets in the western mountains, the cold fog is filled, the crows and birds are everywhere, and the apes are crying sadly.

The woodcutter said: "It's not early, you can't cross the Red Snow Mountain, why don't you stay in the cold house for a night?"

The sky was a problem, but they couldn't cross the Chixue Mountain with their meager clothes and equipment, and besides, their stomachs were still hungry. What they are worried about is that this old man is either trying to make money and kill him, or he is coming for the Qilin fire!

"If you don't want to, I won't force ......," the woodcutter continued.

The bucket patted the woodcutter on the shoulder and laughed, "Do you have anything to eat there?" and his stomach kept ringing again.

The woodcutter patted the belly of the bucket and smiled, "It should fill your belly." ”

The iron bucket said to everyone: "People invite us warmly, we can't live up to their hearts in vain." ”

The words have already been said on this, even if the woodcutter's "humble house" is a wolf's den, they can't fly away.

The night was cold, and even snowflakes of goose feathers began to fall, and the temperature suddenly became so strong that it was like the faces of many people in the world.

The woodcutter's house was built on the hill, but it was actually made of wood, but it was warm inside, because there was already a fire in it, and hot water was burning on top of it. Before the water boiled, they looked around for cups and drank them upside down, after all, it was more important to drive away the chill than hunger. But the bucket did not agree with this, and urged the woodcutter to hurry out with something to eat.

The woodcutter laughed, "Don't worry, young man, I've got a lot of lamb here!"

Amu smiled: "It would be great if there was wine to warm up......

"Yes, too. The woodcutter turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Girl, bring out the lamb and wine, there is a guest coming!"

"Hey, come, come"

The person who came out jumped Tao Xiaozhi, Amu and the iron bucket, and this person was the shepherd girl Jiu Shengnan of Fat Sheep Mountain!

Tao Xiaozhi was shocked: "Why are you here? Won't you be unconvinced, and come all the way to find me to split the bar?"

It turned out that the woodcutter's name was Jiu Shengjun, and he was Jiu Shengnan's father, because her father and mother were divorced, Jiu Shengjun stayed in the Wolf Tooth Peak to chop wood for a living, and his mother returned to Fat Sheep Mountain to shepherd sheep, and Jiu Shengnan followed his mother, but he would come back every month to visit his father, and by the way, he brought some mutton and wine. It just so happened that she returned here the other day, so she was able to meet.

At this time, their hearts can finally be put down. After a few glasses of wine, Tao Xiaozhi also talked a little about the past.

Jiu Shengnan said: "You are not familiar with the road to Chixue Mountain, I can be your guide." ”

"It's so good, with a beautiful woman by our side, we are not only not afraid of getting lost, but also not afraid of loneliness~" Tao Xiaozhi smiled evilly.

"Look at your obscene appearance, which girl will follow you!" The stupid star vinegar surged up again, almost burning, although the words were said to Tao Xiaozhi, but stared directly at Jiu Shengnan, which made the latter blush before the alcohol came up.

Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Some girls just like lewd men, don't flowers always like to be inserted in cow dung?" Except for the fire star, several men in the room laughed.

Silly Xingxing dropped the mutton, stood up, stomped his feet, pouted and said angrily: "No wonder men are all 'stinky men', it turns out that they are all a piece of!" The fire star hurriedly followed.

Tao Xiaozhi shouted outside: "Why is there a lump of green following you......"

The fire star glared back at him, and said angrily, "I'll kill you again later, like pinching a fly to death!" and then chased after his dear cousin.

"Whoever provoked her, why did the anger come......" The iron bucket shook his head, gnawed on the meat, and sighed.

"It is said that women still drink bars when they have needles in their hearts," Amu drank to himself.

"She's not leaving, is she?" said Kukatsuo eagerly.

Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "She just wanted to find an excuse to go outside with her cousin to count the stars, and she came back after she couldn't remember how much." ”

"You men, you always like to make jokes about women...... In fact, no matter how strong a woman is, she needs the care of a man. Ku Katsuo sighed.

"What about you?" Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile, "Do you need cow dung for flowers?"

Jiu Shengnan's face turned red again, and then he smiled: "I don't need cow dung, at most I need a vase and flower pot or something!"

"Wouldn't it?" Tao Xiaozhi pretended to be surprised, "I thought what you needed was a wine bottle!"

The crowd laughed, and then raised their glasses, almost drunk at the inexplicable jokes of flowers and cow dung. Then he fell asleep, leaving only the two people who drank the most, Jiu Shengnan and Tao Xiaozhi.

Jiu Shengnan put his arm on Tao Xiaozhi's shoulder, squirted a sip of wine at him and said, "I can see that girl likes you......"

"Are you drunk?" Tao Xiaozhi said with a smirk on his face.

Jiu Shengnan patted his chest and said angrily: "I'm a 'wine winner', I didn't pour it if you poured it!"

"That's right. Can you see what I do to her?"

"I feel like you want to love but you don't dare to love, and I can't decide which relationship belongs to me...... Do you still have other girls in mind?"

"Can you see this?" Tao Xiaozhi smiled, put his arm on her shoulder, and pretended to be ambiguous, "Isn't it you that I have in mind?"

"Go, go, get drunk and talk a lot!" Then she stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are some things that don't need to be thought about too much, cherish the people in front of you, let go of your heart, don't let down the hearts of others, and let yourself regret it for the rest of your life." With that, she staggered back to her bedroom and fell asleep.

Tao Xiaozhi looked at the little starlight left behind in the crack of the house, thoughtfully, and then drank the remaining half of the wine.

The next day, they took the equipment they had crossed the Chixue Mountain and began to march towards the Chixue Mountain.
