Chapter 498: Quanxiu Town is Coming Soon
Two and a half months later, the snow
A large convoy of people and horses appeared one after another on a snowy country road.
It was a deserted place, and both sides of the road were covered with snow, so thick that even horses could hardly pass.
"The further north we go, the colder the weather gets. The snow is falling earlier than in previous years." Zhai Hu walked in front of the team, raised his hand to catch the falling snowflakes, and sighed. Fortunately, everyone brought thick clothes in their bags before setting off. Now everyone is wearing cold-proof clothes so they won't freeze on the road.
This place is not far from our final destination, Quanxiu Town. It only takes about three or four more days of walking.
Gu Qinghan was wrapped in thick clothes and squeezed at the back of the cart. People were crowded together to keep each other warm. After such a long journey, his originally clean and tidy body was no longer very clean.
Gu Qinghan looked at the snow-capped land. The dazzling white made his eyes red. According to the map that Ayuan left in his mind, the final destination had been determined to be Quanxiu Town, because there was only this remote small town and no other towns on this route.
The route passed through many places, including some villages that were massacred because of the riot. Apart from the remaining bloodstains, the corpses had long disappeared.
Many people have been displaced and are looking for opportunities elsewhere.
The weather became cooler as they went on, and everyone's initial enthusiasm was worn away on the road. They saw too many ordinary people, old people, women and even children, who were killed by crazy people or those who took the opportunity to do bad things. Their bodies were lying alone on the side of the road, and their bodies were eaten by wild beasts. If they met them while they were repairing, would they have a chance to collect their bodies.
"Everyone, stay where you are."
Zhai Hu led everyone to an abandoned and dilapidated temple. There was a huge hole on the roof, but this was nothing to them as long as they had a place to shelter from the wind.
In addition to humans who need rest, horses that travel long distances need it even more.
It was almost night time and the temperature dropped sharply.
Everyone took an iron pot from the car, and then took down the firewood they picked up on the way, filled the pot with clean snow, and started a fire to boil it into water.
The people in Hsinchu Village had been reminded by the village doctor that they should bring a lot of ginger with them before leaving. In addition to using it as medicine, they can also boil ginger water to drive away the cold.
Therefore, everyone in Hsinchu Village was healthy along the way, unlike people in other villages, some of whom had already caught a cold and had to rely on the medicinal herbs they brought with them to survive. They had to travel all day, and their conditions, which had improved, relapsed again. They were tortured repeatedly and had no energy left.
Li Junyong moved his body, pulled Gu Qinghan, and asked in a low voice: "Qinghan, how many days do you think it will take us to reach our destination?"
In the past two months, his buttocks have become iron buttocks and are completely numb. He really wants to know how long it will take to get there. This kind of journey without a destination is really confusing for him. He is worried and scared. As for why he came to ask Gu Qinghan, it is because he knows that there is a man with extraordinary abilities behind him. The feeling of having a golden thigh is too good.
"About three or four days." Gu Qinghan glanced at the map in his mind and saw Quanxiu Town was just ahead.
"Hey, do you want some?" Luo Xiqing grabbed a handful of dried chilies and gave them to the two of them.
I don't know who among them started it first. They were just trying it at first, and later found that the spiciness of the dried chilies could stimulate the nerves that had been numbed by the cold, and the effect was quite good. Fortunately, each of them brought a lot, so even if they packed a large bag, the weight was still light.
When you feel too cold to bear it, take out a dried chili and chew it. The spicy and strong taste will make you feel intoxicated.
"No, we have it. You can keep it for yourself."
Li Junyong refused, rummaged around in his big package, took out a dried chili pepper, and threw the whole thing directly into his mouth, stirring it without changing his expression.
Gu Qinghan was the same, but he ate more elegantly than Li Junyong.
"Okay." Seeing that they didn't take it, Luo Xiqing didn't hesitate and turned around and put it back into his package.
Everyone had very limited things with them. After all, the cart was only big enough to accommodate them, and they had been walking for such a long time that the things they had on them were probably almost all used up.
After Gu Qinghan ate a dried chili pepper, he casually explored the locker in his mind.
He still didn't know where in his body the treasure called the system existed, but most of the time when he checked things, he controlled it through consciousness, so he assumed that it resided in his brain.
During this period, Ayuan sent him good things every two or three days, as if the treasures on his body could hold all the things she sent him. If he didn't check on them for a while, there would be more.
There were all kinds of medicinal herbs, even thick clothes and quilts, and a clay jar of water. It was simply too much. How could he have such good fortune? There were also vegetables, fruits, and even chestnuts. In addition to raw ones, there were also cooked ones. Then there were the dried lotus roots that he had dug with her before, and the lotus root powder that had been packaged into small bags, and a jar of honey. It was also considerately marked with the method of eating and the ready-made lotus root powder.
When he saw the steaming lotus root powder, he was stunned that the magical treasure could actually preserve food at temperature.
Such a great discovery made even Xu Xing feel strange. Although it was strange, the points he gained were 100 more than the original base. So Xu Xing didn't feel strange anymore. As long as the points were there, it would be fine.
Although Xuyuan had given a lot of food, Gu Qinghan didn't dare to take it out casually, so the things in the locker piled up more and more.
The last time he had remote contact with Xu Yuan, he stopped transmitting things every few days. He knew that with such a large consumption, the points that A Yuan mentioned would definitely be needed, but he was still on the road and he couldn't help her.
The night wind was blowing. An old wall blocked the wind from coming in. The fire was burning vigorously, bringing warmth to everyone sitting around it.
That night, it was a rare day when no one was on the road. Some people kept watch while others fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Qinghan threw a few more pieces of firewood into the fire, making it burn more vigorously.
Then he looked around and saw that no one noticed him. He found a corner of the wall that was both windproof and hidden, and threw down a piece of talisman paper.
The talisman paper quickly disappeared into the ground when it touched the ground.
