Chapter 117: Climbing the Jade Peak and Snowy Mountain (2)
The sky was getting dark, the north wind kept blowing on the ground, and the top of the mountain was all covered with thick snow, as deep as the legs and wrists, and the howling cold wind blew up the snowflakes that had not yet frozen on the ground, and then blew fiercely on Shen Linfeng's body.
Behind him, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, but there was still the last touch of red between heaven and earth, some small snowflakes blown by the wind, all emitted a faint red light under the reflection of the setting sun, and the whole air was densely packed and shining, which was really beautiful.
However, Shen Linfeng didn't have too much thought to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him at this time, he had already climbed two high mountains in one go, and the Jade Girl Peak in front of him was gradually approaching, but the closer he got to her, the snow-capped mountains under his feet would be higher, and the snow on the ground had become much thicker, and even the weather seemed to be a little colder.
Shen Linfeng tightened his cotton clothes, which were almost covered with snow, and the wine gourd on his waist seemed to be frozen by the cold wind, and he couldn't pour half a drop of wine.
The sun was completely gone, and the whole mountain was plunged into darkness.
Shen Linfeng sighed and continued to walk in the direction of Jade Maiden Peak with his feelings.
After about half an hour, a bright moon gradually emerged from the clouds, although the moon was mutilated and dim, but fortunately, it was able to let Shen Linfeng see the road under his feet clearly.
The cold wind at night was more violent than during the day, a large black cloud in the distance was slowly drifting over, Shen Linfeng lowered his head and struggled forward, this third high mountain was about to turn over, but his feet were cold at this time, and his whole body was trembling.
"A blizzard is coming!
Suddenly, Shen Linfeng seemed to see a beating light at the foot of the mountain, this light was square and there was no fire, and it was obviously not burning on the snow.
"Is it a house?" Shen Linfeng secretly wondered in his heart, how could anyone live here in this cold and snowy place?
Despite his hard time, his pace unconsciously quickened.
The clouds were approaching, and the last little light was obscured, and in the blink of an eye, the goose-feathered snow began to be blown in all directions by the wind.
Shen Linfeng stared at the bright light that was getting closer and closer to him, and at this moment, this faint light had become his only hope.
"It's a house, it's a house!" Shen Linfeng kept muttering.
The snow at the foot of the mountain grew deeper and deeper, and he almost crawled through the snow.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk!"
Shen Linfeng knocked on the door vigorously, this house does not look very big from the outside, except for two wooden windows, everything else is covered under the snow, Shen Linfeng looked around left and right, the snow in front of the door is only a thin layer, it seems that someone often cleans here.
"Squeak!" When the wooden door opened, thick snow fell on the roof instantly, and Shen Linfeng was about to speak, but the people inside hurriedly flashed to the side.
"Quick, quick, come in!"
Shen Linfeng no longer hesitated, waved his hand and patted the snow on his body and went in.
What Shen Linfeng didn't expect was that it was cold and snowy outside, but inside the house was as warm as spring, the two braziers on the ground were burning, and there were some carefully marinated beef hanging on the beams.
Dahan brought a cup of hot boiling water from the back room and handed it to Shen Linfeng.
"Drink, lad!"
Shen Linfeng looked up at this man who was almost half the height of himself and said, "Thank you!"
The man waved his hand casually, and Shen Linfeng looked at his expression, as if he was no longer surprised by his arrival.
"You warm up first, I'll clean up the room for you!"
With that, the man stooped down and went into the room beside him.
Shen Linfeng looked around, there were two rooms in this wooden house, on either side of his body, and the place where he was now was only a wooden table, a few tattered benches, and some firewood of different lengths near the base of the wall.
Shen Linfeng turned his gaze to the wall behind him, and saw a huge white tiger skin being spread out and hanging on the wall, the tiger fur was smooth and bright, which made people secretly surprised.
"Come in, young man!" the man came out of the house.
Shen Linfeng was about to speak, but was interrupted by the man waving his hand: "Don't ask yet, it's too late! Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Shen Linfeng smiled lightly, clasped his fists at him, and then entered the room.
The furnishings of this room are even simpler, except for a window and a wooden bed, there is nothing else, Shen Linfeng stretched out his hand and pushed the window on his side, but it didn't move at all, it was estimated that it was covered by the snow outside.
Shen Linfeng hadn't closed his eyes for two days and one night, and at this moment, the sleepiness of lying on the bed suddenly swept over his body, and he had fallen asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning.
After a night of wind and snow, the sky became blue and clear, and the sun shone on the snow on the ground, pure and bright.
The wooden door slowly opened, and the big man carried a broom to clear the snow in front of the door.
Shen Linfeng slowly walked out of the house, his eyes narrowed from the bright snow.
"Awake?"
"Hmm!"
"The beef on that table is for you, go eat it!"
Shen Linfeng was already hungry, and he was no longer polite to him, and sat down at the table and began to feast.
Dahan patted the snowflakes on his body outside the door now, and then got into the house and sat directly next to Shen Linfeng, and said, "Okay, if there is anything to ask, just ask now!"
"Why are you living here?"
Hearing this, Dahan's brows furrowed obviously, and he said, "I don't know, I've been living here since I can remember!"
"So, are you the only one living here?"
"When I was a child, I lived with my father, and later I ...... He died. ”
Shen Linfeng nodded lightly after listening to him, and then didn't say anything more.
Dahan waited for a moment, and seeing that Shen Linfeng didn't mean to speak again, he said, "Finished asking?"
"Hmm!"
"That's all you ask?"
Shen Linfeng was extremely puzzled: "Then, what do you want me to ask?"
"Didn't you come here to find Snow Fox?"
Shen Linfeng's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Snow fox, what is that?"
Seeing Shen Linfeng's expression, the big man obviously didn't know anything about this snow fox, so he explained: "I have lived here for a full thirty years, and I don't know when rumors began in the rivers and lakes that there are many thousand-year-old snow foxes near this Jade Girl Peak, and if you drink its blood, you can not only prolong your life, but also be extremely helpful for cultivating the internal strength of martial arts. ”
"So, when I knocked on the door last night, you thought I was looking for a snow fox?"
The big man grinned and said, "You don't know, there have been a lot of martial arts masters here in recent months, all of them are here for that snow fox, but ......"
"But what?"
"I've only seen them climb the Jade Maiden Peak, but I've never seen anyone leave the Jade Maiden Peak!"
