Outside the Great Wall, Changbai Mountain.

Boss Ye stood on a hilltop and looked into the distance.

Boss Cheng squatted not far from him to rest.

There were a dozen or so big men surrounding them, all sitting on the ground.

Some people were drinking water from their water bags, while others were eating the dry food directly from their backpacks.

There were more than a dozen mules tied to the trees next to them, all of which were loaded with things, indicating that they had made a good harvest on this trip.

Boss Ye took a moment to determine the direction, then pointed to the west and said to Boss Cheng beside him, "Old Cheng, my family used to be over there, in Huinan County.

"Before, due to bad weather and a landslide, the whole village was hit by the disaster and everyone had to flee with their families.

"My village was considered lucky. Later, while fleeing the famine, we heard that some villages had been completely turned underground, and no one escaped.

"I don't know what the situation is like in Huinan County right now, and whether anyone has returned to continue living there."

Although the village where the Ye family lived was relatively less affected by the disaster, there were still many houses collapsed and many people were killed and injured.

At that time, after ensuring that their family members were all safe, the four Ye brothers went to help rescue people.

Therefore, that catastrophe really left a big shadow in Boss Ye's heart.

This time he came to Changbai Mountain to buy mountain products, which was getting closer and closer to the place where he was born and raised, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Upon hearing this, Boss Cheng also looked in the direction he pointed, but in fact, there was nothing to see except the dense forest.

But he still noticed Boss Ye's mood, raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said: "Well, you have to think positively about everything!

"If your hometown hadn't suffered a disaster and you had to return to the capital to look for your relatives, you wouldn't be living so well, and we brothers wouldn't have met, right?"

Boss Ye thought about it and it made sense. Everything else would have been fine, but if they hadn't gone out to escape the famine, they would have never had the chance to adopt Qingtian.

When he thought of sunny days, Boss Ye suddenly felt warm in his heart.

He found some Ganoderma lucidum in Changbai Mountain this time, and the amount he brought back was enough for Qingtian to make medicine for several years.

But as soon as he finished thinking about it, he immediately shook his head to clear the idea from his mind.

How could Qingtian need to take medicine all the time? After taking medicine for a period of time to build up the foundation of his body, he will be healthy and will not get sick again.

Just as Boss Ye was thinking about this, their hired local guide, Old Chen, suddenly came over and said, "Boss Cheng, Boss Ye, I'm afraid the weather in the mountains is going to change today. We need to hurry down the mountain and find a place to stay."

Old Chen was hired by Boss Cheng in a village at the foot of Changbai Mountain. He has been their guide for the past two months and his weather forecasts have always been very accurate.

So after hearing what he said, Boss Cheng and Boss Ye immediately said to the others, "Everyone hurry up and eat and rest. We will be ready to go down the mountain in a quarter of an hour."

They also took this opportunity to eat something.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect or if the weather really changed so quickly, but before we finished eating a pancake, we already started to feel that the wind blowing on our bodies was getting colder and colder.

Boss Ye quickened his pace, stuffed all the biscuits into his mouth in a few gulps, then took a few gulps of water. He then stood up and began to check the things on the mule's back, and tied up some loose ropes again.

It may not matter when the weather is good, but once the weather changes and you are in a hurry to get on the road, the goods that are not tied tightly will easily come loose and fall off.

This will not only slow down the journey, but sometimes also cause damage to the goods and thus loss of money.

One after another, people who had eaten their fill came forward to join him and help him.

After tying up everything tightly, everyone could clearly feel the change in the weather. The wind blowing on their faces was like a knife.

Of course, this is not because Old Chen reminded us too late.

Rather, the climate on Changbai Mountain changes extremely rapidly.

Boss Ye has some experience, but Boss Cheng and the others are visiting Changbai Mountain for the first time, and they suffered a lot at the beginning.

But now everyone is more proficient and accustomed to it than at the beginning.

Boss Cheng counted the number of people and mules, and then, as usual, he and Old Chen led the way in front, while Boss Ye brought up the rear and they began to go down the mountain.

Before we reached halfway up the mountain, snowflakes started falling from the sky.

The snow was quite heavy at first, but soon the snowflakes became so large and dense that they even began to affect people's vision.

Soon, the people behind could no longer see the backs of the people in front.

Old Chen took out a copper bell from his bag and shook it every few steps, making a crisp sound, so that the people behind him could listen to the sound and keep up and not fall behind.

Everyone led the mules and walked down, one step deep and one step shallow.

As the snow fell heavier, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, gradually covering everyone's ankles.

Old Chen stopped the team and asked everyone to change into their thickest boots as soon as possible, otherwise their feet would easily get frostbite if they continued walking like this.

Boss Ye also took out the leather boots that Qingtian bought for him from his luggage and put them on.

Deng Shangwei, who had been walking side by side with Boss Ye at the end of the team, was stunned when he saw his boots. He touched them and said, "Master Ye, your boots are really nice!

“This pair must have cost a lot of money, right?

"Tsk tsk, this fur is so shiny and smooth, and the workmanship is so good, I'm afraid even if you have money you may not be able to buy it."

After Boss Ye changed his shoes, his feet no longer felt cold.

Even when walking in the snow, the thick soles and solid fur can keep all the cold out.
