Chapter 118: Leisurely travel to the north
In the extreme north of the wasteland, the night was not completely destroyed by Ye Qi, but retreated to the surrounding area of Rehai, so the climate was still very cold, and the snow covering the grassland was frozen even tougher than ice by the cold weather.
A dilapidated carriage was pulled by two tall wild horses who had lived in the cold world for a long time. The wild horse's hooves were difficult to step on the snow surface, and the wheels rolled and could not leave any traces.
A gust of cold wind blew with sharp ice and snow, blew down countless erhus on the bodies of the two wild horses, leaving white marks on their gray-brown skin.
The two wild horses stopped and looked at the worn carriage behind them at the same time.
The Master's voice came from the carriage: "Find a place to shelter from the wind."
A wild horse cheered, and the two horses accelerated their steps, walked straight through a small snowfield in the wind and snow, and came to a low snow mountain. They pulled the carriages and entered a cave.
Ning Que got off the carriage first, took a pile of firewood from the carriage, and after it caught fire, he said to the carriage: "Teacher, Senior Brother Twelve, Sangsang, you get off the carriage."
After the three people got out of the car, Sangsang was holding a black pot in his hand. Ning Que took the black pot and walked out of the cave to dig a pot of ice and snow to the fire. After a while, the ice and snow turned into steaming water.
Ye Qi hadn't eaten for a long time, but suddenly burped a little. The few people didn't want to be curious, because after he came back from the Tianmen that day, he would often burp a little bit a little bit at any time along the way to the wasteland.
The Master's explanation was that he was too greedy and ate too much food from the Haotian Divine Kingdom, so it would be strange if he didn't burp.
Ye Qi took a deep breath of cold air and took out a pack of tea in his arms. Tea was not a famous tea, but a big river tea planted by the king of Houshan.
"The water is not boiling, and it happens to be hot, which is the best temperature for making tea."
The Master smiled and said, "Good."
Ye Qi opened the tea bag, revealing the dried brown tea leaves inside, grabbed it and threw it into the water. For just a moment, the tea fragrance spread throughout the cave.
Sangsang took a few pieces of dried meat from the package behind him and distributed them to the people around the fire one by one. At this time, the tea was boiling. Ning Que did not mind the edge of the iron pot being burned by the fire. He reached out to take the iron pot. In the pot where the heat was floating, the boiled tea leaves were green and sunk under the water, just like spring dyeing the bottom of the lake.
He brought a few iron bowls from the carriage and served hot tea in each iron bowl. He only smelled the fragrance of the tea and then he tasted the saliva.
Ye Qi burped again, picked up the tea and took a sip. He watched the wind and snow outside the cave rage on the earth like a knife, and said, "Drinking hot tea on the uninhabited snow field is unique."
Then, he burped again, causing several people to laugh.
After drinking the hot tea, the Master felt warm, revealing two rows of shiny teeth, and gnawing on the jerky bite, saying, "It's a pity that this meat is jerky. If you cook a pot of fish hotpot in this ice and snow, it would be even more unconventional."
Sangsang seemed to have known something in the past few days. Although he often helped the young master to serve the master and the twelfth senior brother, he rarely spoke actively. She knew that this was not good. At this moment, listening to the master saying this, he spoke and said, "It's a pity that even if there are fish in such a cold day, they should be frozen to death. The frozen fish are not delicious."
The Master bent his eyes and said with a smile: "No, there is a frozen lake in front of this mountain. The weather in the extreme north of the wasteland was cold. The fish in the frozen lake adapted to the cold. At this time, the cold night was hard to eliminate for many years. The fish that sneaked into the bottom of the lake could live for more years."
Ning Que said: "It seems that you have eaten the fish inside, teacher."
The Master said: "At that time, you and the book lover from Dahe Country were still in love with each other outside Tianqi Mountain, your senior brother and I were eating fish hotpot on the frozen lake."
Sangsang looked at Ning Que in confusion, without saying anything, and his little eyes staring at Ning Que seemed to be questioning: Young Master, I have never heard you talk about this.
Ning Que smiled weakly, looked at the Master bitterly, and said, "Teacher, don't talk nonsense."
Ye Qi shook his head and tsk twice, then burped again, and quipped: "There are so many people who like it, but it's very troublesome."
Ning Que Da Jiong. If he was teasing him, Chen Pipi would definitely "rebel" without hesitation. He was the twelfth senior brother. Da Jiong could only swallow his anger and then go to the good life to think about how to explain to Sangsang.
After the wind and snow stopped, two wild horses pulled the carriage and left the cave and came to the frozen lake as the Master said. Ye Qi used his finger to break the ice and took a few fish. After the Master made a live fish hotpot by himself. Several people had eaten it and continued to walk north.
...
More than ten days later, the carriage came to an extremely cold place.
The cold wind roared and roared, and the night covered the sky like a curtain. It was the end of the cold domain in the extreme northern region, on the banks of the Hot Sea.
The main reason why Atami is called Atami is that it is difficult to freeze in cold places like the extreme north, and no matter when, the wind blowing from Atami is always warm.
More than ten years ago, there were deserted people living here. Those deserted people were fighting with harpoons in their hands. In the past, the banks of the Resea should have been a grassland at this time, with cattle and sheep gathering on them. Because the night color that was always difficult to dissipate in the sky, there is only a plain snow field left, and the Resea has been frozen for many years.
The two wild horses were trembling by the cold wind on the Rehai Sea, but the carriage was difficult to move forward. The Master got off the carriage first, patted the two wild horses, untied the reins for the wild horses, and left quickly. Then he took Ye Qi and his men who got off the carriage in turn, and walked towards the deeper part of the frozen Rehai Sea.
A breeze against the cold wind blew, and the snow in front of Master, as hard as ice, avoided it, forming a gully embedded in the snow. The few people walked a long way until there was no more ice and snow in the hot sea, and only a transparent ice layer was left under the starlight.
There is a sound of water outside the ice layer, and there seems to be no freezing there. On one side, a mountain stands tall. The mountain is covered with ice and snow, emitting a faint cold light under the starlight, which is countless thousands of feet high, just like it is a pillar that touches the dome of the night dome.
Ye Qi looked at the snow peak and thought of the snow mountain in the previous time and space. I wonder if there was a mysterious space hidden inside. Of course, he knew that there was no snow peak, and he had such an idea just wanted to think like this.
The Master seemed to see through half of his heart, and looked at him in confusion and explained: "I used to worry about being eaten by Haotian, but I couldn't beat Haotian alone, so I wanted to find Lama as a helper. Then I came to this legendary snow peak, which is closely related to Lama. No matter whether I fly three thousand feet across the sky or dig three thousand feet, there is no fart."
Ye Qi gave the Master a thumbs up and said, "I admire your persistence."
When they heard the two of them talking about the King of the Great, Sangsang looked dim. In addition to being dim, Ning Que also had a difficult worry. Along the way, Sangsang might not know where the King of the Great existed, but he already knew it, and he also vaguely guessed the meaning of the teacher and the twelfth senior brother taking him and Sangsang on this aimless trip.
