Chapter 979: A Sudden Enlightenment

"Sisters, the snowy area is ahead." Liu Huo was riding on a horse, and when he turned around and spoke, he exhaled a cloud of white mist.

Liu Yaoyu opened the curtain and saw snow everywhere. She exclaimed: "Wow! Big sister, third sister, look! It's so beautiful!"

Having said that, she couldn't wait to jump off the carriage.

Liu E, who was riding on a horse, laughed at her: "Sister Yaoyu, we haven't arrived yet. Yuquan Snow Mountain looks close, but it's still far to the foot of the mountain. We have to cross the Endless River first."

Liu Yaoyu blushed and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground. "Haven't we arrived yet? There's already snow here."

Liu E is Liu Shu's second daughter and has not yet married. Today, she and Liu Huo accompanied Yu Jiao and her group out to play. Because Yu Jiao and her two sisters all wanted to see the Yuquan Snow Mountain, the two brought Yu Jiao and her group to the snowy area.

The three Yu Jiao sisters were not good at riding and had never lived in Pingliang Prefecture for a long time. Huo Guizhi was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the climate here and would get frostbite, so she did not allow them to ride horses. Therefore, Liu E followed Liu Huo and Gu Yun on horseback, while the three Yu Jiao sisters rode in a carriage.

"It's almost there. We should be able to reach the Endless River in half an hour." Liu E said with a smile.

Liu Yaoyu quickly climbed onto the carriage. There were no outsiders here, so no one laughed at her recklessness.

Liu Yaoyu lowered the car curtain and approached Yu Jiao with a wicked smile: "Third sister, did you make fun of me just now?"

Yu Jiao hastily denied it, but Liu Yaoyu suddenly put her hand into Yu Jiao's neck. Yu Jiao shivered from the cold and hid behind Liu Yaozhen while saying, "Big sister, please take care of her!"

Liu Yaozhen smiled and protected Yu Jiao, and scolded Liu Yaoyu: "Don't be reckless, you just touched Xue's hand, put it on Third Sister's neck, and you will freeze her to death!"

Liu Yaoyu snorted, but she took her hand back obediently, "Big sister, you are now the same as the third sister. I am so pitiful, no one loves me."

Liu Yaozhen smiled helplessly and handed the heater in her hand to Liu Yaoyu, "If I remember correctly, the third sister is the youngest. I am not at home most of the time. As an elder sister, do you usually bully her?"

Liu Yaoyu hurriedly said, "How could I!" She pressed Yu Jiao, "Third sister, have I ever bullied you?"

Yu Jiao looked at her bully look and smiled, as if she was succumbing to her power: "Of course not, Sister Yaoyu treats me the best."

After hearing this, Liu Yaoyu felt comfortable immediately. She smiled and pinched Yu Jiao's cheek: "Second sister loves you well."

Gu Yun was outside the carriage, listening to the laughter coming from inside, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. He could feel that after leaving the capital and coming to Pingliang Prefecture, Yu Jiao had become visibly lively. Unlike the cautious and prudent her in the capital, she seemed to live more freely in this world.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Endless River, and Yu Jiao and the other two got off the carriage.

There was a thick layer of ice on the Endless River. Many people were playing on the ice, and some were fishing near the drilled ice holes, and their baskets were filled with rich catches.

In the distance are the boundless snow-capped mountains, and all you can see is white. Yu Jiao couldn't help but feel open-minded when looking at such scenery.

"The silver cod you ate a few days ago was caught by Dad in the Endless River." Liu E accompanied Yu Jiao and the others on the glacier and said, "Dad is obsessed with fishing here, and mother often scolds him for this."

Yu Jiao and the other two all smiled when they heard this.

After being here for a few days, Yu Jiao's biggest feeling is that the status of women here is not as low as in other places in Taiyan. Most men do not have concubines and they all love their wives very much.

Liu Shu's eldest daughter, Liu Ying, married for the second time. After divorcing her ex-husband, she married her current husband with her daughter. Her husband treated her very well. He even treated Liu Ying's daughter with her ex-husband as his own daughter, and there were no bad rumors about her outside.

This may be because the population outside the Great Wall is relatively small, the climate is cold, and it is difficult for women to give birth.

Such a place made Yu Jiao feel free after a long time.

A few people crossed the Endless River, went up along the snowy area, and came to the foot of Yuquan Snow Mountain. The vegetation on the mountain was all covered with a thick layer of snow, and the icicles on the branches were crystal clear, as if they had come to a fairyland.

Yuquan Snow Mountain does not refer to a single mountain, but a continuous and undulating mountain range that runs across the snowy area. It is the best natural barrier that blocks the ambitious wolf tribe from Liangzhou.
