Chapter 117: Up the Mountain

Under the leadership of the guide, Brother Tong, their group soon arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

It is a very dangerous thing to go up to the snow-capped mountain, even in modern times, if you have sufficient equipment, you don't dare to go up rashly.

What's more, their equipment is so rudimentary now, Ruan Tang is worried that before going up the mountain, he has to ask Chu Mu to order them to check the equipment on their bodies again to make sure that it is correct before setting off.

Based on experience, Brother Tong chose a smoother road.

Although the road to the top of the mountain is a longer distance, it is relatively safe.

They are here to find medicine, everything must be based on safety, not rash, otherwise before the medicine is found, they will lose their lives, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This time Chumut brought the fire with him, for he had inquired with the guide in advance, and that the first half of the ascent would be relatively flat, the slope would not be steep, and the horses could walk.

But ordinary horses are still more difficult to walk.

Chu Mu considered that Ruan Tang had no internal strength, and if she walked up the whole way, her body would not be able to bear it, so she brought the fire with her and let her ride a horse for the first half of the race.

Ruan Tang was naturally willing.

"Childe, do you know how high this mountain is?" In his spare time, Ruan Tang asked Chu Mu, who was leading the horse in front.

Chu Mu shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Don't say he doesn't know, even the locals who have lived here all their lives don't know.

"The mountain is about 8,000 feet high."

"How do you know?"

"I guessed!"

Actually, it's not entirely guessing.

In the past few days, she has been chatting with some local people here, learning about the climate change in each season here, and deducing the approximate latitude and longitude here.

With the approximate latitude and longitude, it is possible to deduce the approximate altitude at which snow will occur.

Before the mountain reached the top, snow began to accumulate, indicating that the location of the snow was nearly 6,000 feet, so that the approximate height of the mountain can be deduced.

It's just that these are troublesome to explain, she said, Chu Mu They don't necessarily understand.

Chu Mu glanced back, and smiled without refuting her.

Just when she is guessing, don't poke her.

However, Xiaofeng on the side agreed: "The master is very knowledgeable and knows a lot. ”

Ruan Tang was used to Xiaofeng's doglegs, but he still smiled happily.

Ling Qing on the side also came up and began to chatter.

"Master, I have heard from the locals in the past few days that there are snow demons in this mountain, which will eat people, and there were people who dared to go up the mountain to collect some precious medicinal materials to sell, but no one dared to come up in the past two years.

Ruan Tang smiled, "There is no snow demon, it's just made up." ”

Presumably, the people who went up either died of hypothermia, or encountered an avalanche, or encountered a wild beast on the mountain.

The snow demon is such a mysterious thing, as a materialist, she will not believe it.

It's just that as soon as her words fell, the guide Brother Tong, who was walking in front, suddenly refuted her.

"It's not made up, someone has seen it, the whole body is snow-white, and he looks burly and tall, and he can beat people to death with one palm."

Ruan Tang smiled silently.

According to his description, it is most likely a beast such as a white bear.

It's just that those people don't know it, and they talk about it mysteriously.

Seeing that Ruan Tang didn't refute, the guide thought that she also agreed with what she said, and then continued: "The red snow grass you are looking for is the fairy grass guarded by this snow demon, and I also told your little brother before. ”

He was referring to the south wind.

"This red snow grass is a good thing, but this good thing is not easy to take, if you provoke that snow demon, it roars, the mountain god will be angry, and the snow on the top of the mountain will bury people by itself, which is very terrible."

The smile on Ruan Tang's lips deepened.

Don't say that the snow demon roars, the snow will bury people, even if he roars, the snow can also bury people.

But Ruan Tang still didn't refute him, and let him continue.

That's fine, just listen to the story and pass the time.

Just walking, and soon it was time to rest again.

They rested every other hour.

Ruan Tang got off the horse, took the dry food handed over by Xiaofeng, and gnawed on the baked cakes.

This baked cake was very delicious when it was first baked, but after it was cold, it was frozen all the way and became hard, and it tasted like chewing wax.

If it was in her time, at this time, self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice would have come in handy.

But now, not to mention that the bread is hard, even the water is cold.

Now she has finally realized the benefits of thermos cups.

She took a sip of the water in the bladder, and shivered with cold, not daring to drink it anymore.

Qingfeng on the side suddenly handed her a water bladder.

Ruan Tang was puzzled, but he still reached out to take it, but he didn't expect that his water bladder was actually hot.

"Hot water? Where are you from? ”

What a blessing it is to drink a sip of hot water on this cold day.

Aomine smiled, "I thought everyone was just like you, a rookie." ”

As he spoke, Qingfeng stretched out his hand towards her, and Ruan Tang put his hand on his hand in confusion.

His hands were warm, and a stream of heat spread along her palms and all over her body.

"Internal forces?" Ruan Tang looked surprised.

Sure enough, people with martial arts and internal strength could survive in ancient times.

Like them, it's equivalent to carrying a solar energy on your back, and it's not too happy.

Ruan Tang was proud for a moment, and directly held Qingfeng's hand with both hands.

Aomine looked arrogant, sitting and letting her fiddle.

"Qingfeng, you said that I am learning martial arts now, is it too late to learn from you to operate internal force?"

Aomine glanced at her, "You?" It's better to save energy. ”

"Is it too late? But I'm only twenty years old, so I'm not too old! "It's the age of flowers, young!

"Even if you're ten years younger, you won't be able to."

Learning martial arts requires some talent, although some people have no talent and also practice martial arts, but at most it is only fist and foot kung fu, and it is difficult to practice internal skills like them.

And Ruan Tang's qualifications can no longer be described as mediocre.

Ruan Tang was despised by him and glared at him, "Just you!" I can kill you! ”

Aomine smiled, very accepting of her praise.

Chu Mu wanted to take advantage of the rest to discuss the next route with the guide.

Because after walking a few hundred meters, the road becomes steeper.

If there were other ways to choose, they could spend more time, but he didn't say a few words to the guide before he saw Ruan Tang put his hand on Qingfeng's hand.

The two were still smiling, looking extremely harmonious.

He blackened his face.

The guide was talking to him, but suddenly he saw his face darkened, and he thought that he had said something wrong, so he immediately shut up.

Chu Mu saw that he was silent, so he lowered his eyes and looked at him, "I'll look for you later." ”

The guide nodded his head again and again, as if he had been pardoned.

Although he doesn't know the identity of this son, his natural majesty is impossible to ignore.

If he had a black face, it would be even more terrifying.

Chu Mu first said a few words to Nanfeng before raising his feet and walking towards Ruan Tang.

And Ruan Tang was still holding Qingfeng's hand at the moment, chatting with Xiaofeng and Ling Qing, not realizing that someone's eyes were about to eat people.
