Chapter 178 Snow Mountain

That girl is the core of the second barrier, which is the role played by Gu Ji.

Her name is Xiaohong.

Xiaohong shook her head timidly but said nothing.

The moment she opened her mouth, Gu Ji saw that her mouth was empty and there was no tongue.

In the barrier, Gu Ji has the memory of having passed the eye of the formation, and knows that Xiaohong was sold to a rich peasant family by her father before her death. She washed clothes and cooked every day, and was not well fed or clothed.

She cried at first, but one day her husband drank and beat her. She cried, but her husband thought she was too noisy and actually cut off her tongue with a pair of scissors.

But her father just said: "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. There is nothing I can do to help you. If you treat your husband better and coax him, he will not beat you anymore. Your character is just as strong as your mother's!"

Anyway, everything is her fault.

So Gu Ji stuffed the rich peasant's family into a cow's stomach, beheaded the husband, and hanged him on a locust tree at the entrance of the village.

My father also had his legs chopped off.

Anyone in the village who dared to speak against her would be chopped to death, but she would not kill them.

Whoever comes will be killed.

In the end, the soldiers arrived with guns. Of course, the bullets in the illusion were not real, not to mention that Gu Ji was not even afraid of real bullets.

The end result was that she became the real 'boss' of the village.

Xiaohong didn't quite understand why. She thought she was very kind and nice to everyone, but these people didn't appreciate it. Why was Gu Ji so cruel and injured so many people, but those people bowed and nodded respectfully when they saw her?

"To be kind to others, you need them to be human. Are those people human? They are beasts, worse than pigs and dogs. They bully the weak and fear the strong. They are afraid of death, so of course they are respectful to me."

Xiaohong gave a sad smile that seemed to show understanding, then shook her head.

"You don't want me to go to the third barrier?"

Xiaohong nodded.

"Why?"

Xiaohong lowered her eyes.

Gu Ji said, "The core of the third barrier is terrifying?"

Xiaohong nodded after a while, and a look of fear appeared on her face.

"Have you ever been bullied or hurt by the Third Eye?"

Xiaohong nodded again.

"Got it." Gu Ji stood up and patted Xiaohong on the shoulder: "Thank you for reminding me, but I won't stop."

Xiaohong bit her lower lip, her face full of worry.

There was suddenly a basket in her arms. After Gu Ji entered the third barrier, she slowly opened the basket.

In the basket was a bowl of thick white porridge, a portion of delicious-looking pickles, five juicy salted duck eggs, bacon and sausage, a bun and a steamed bun.

Xiaohong's eyes turned red instantly.

With trembling hands, she picked up the steamed bun, put it into her mouth, and took a big bite.

Xiaohong got married at the age of sixteen. She loves the color red, likes to eat steamed buns and dumplings, and wants to drink a bowl of thick porridge the most.

I miss the bacon and sausages made by my mother the most, and I want to taste the greasy salted duck eggs.

Add a bowl of greasy pickles.

Xiaohong felt that even the master's food was no better than this.

This was her wish, a simple wish.

But she never got to eat it until her death.

Xiaohong ate while crying.

These things were actually given to her by a Taoist priest whom she had never seen before. He clearly wanted to trap her in the formation and didn't want her to move forward, but she was so kind.

Xiaohong seemed to understand some of what Gu Ji said. She thought that Gu Ji was very cruel, otherwise how could he kill people without blinking an eye in the barrier?

But.

She would also feed candy to the children in the village within the barrier.

I will clean for the elderly in the village.

Will make her wish come true.

Maybe kindness doesn’t mean being tolerant all the time.

-

The third barrier.

The moment he entered the barrier, Gu Ji felt that the surroundings seemed very cold.

She was about to open her eyes when the whistling wind and snow in her ears almost covered her mouth and nose.

She performed a magic gesture, and the surrounding wind and snow finally moved away from her body, allowing her to breathe.

When he opened his eyes, Gu Ji found that she was wearing various mountaineering equipment and was climbing up.

"In front! What are you still dawdling about?! We've already wasted a lot of time because of you. If we don't reach the supply point, we're all going to die here!"

Gu Ji immediately understood that these words were directed at her.

There are six people in this team.

She is in the third one.

The fifth person who spoke was a man, whose appearance could not be seen clearly. Everyone was wearing helmets, hats, goggles and masks, and their clothes were very thick.

This mountain is actually not very steep. Although it is a snow mountain, it is not high.

But the wind and snow today are so strong that it hurts when the snow blows on my face.

The memory in her mind matched the names of several people. From the top to the bottom, their names were: Lu Chuan, Zhou Zicheng, Su Tang (the third array eye), Qi Mo, Lin Yao, and Shen Zhixia.

The one who spoke was Lin Yao.

Gu Ji simply stopped moving and turned around on the spot.

Qi Mo behind her said indifferently: "What are you doing standing here? Go upstairs!"

"What's your attitude? I paid you to come here, and you didn't do your homework beforehand? Now it's snowing and you're still rushing me?"

Su Tang wanted to cross the snow-capped mountains, but he had little experience, so he chose the Meiyuan Snow Mountain, which was not very difficult, and hired an experienced team.

But apart from this information, Gu Ji currently has no information about how the eye of the formation died.

The difficulty seems to have increased.

However, she really didn't like people who took the money but didn't do their job properly. She just took advantage of Su Tang's wealth and thought he was easy to talk to, and her attitude was extremely bad.

Qi Mo snorted coldly: "Even if you spent money, we agreed before we came here that you would listen to us. Do you want to break the contract now?"

Gu Ji immediately took out the recorder in his arms and said, "I will record everything you say. I remember you have an account online, right? I have quite a few fans, so please be nice to me. I hired you at a price 30% higher than the market price just to provide you with better service. Who are you trying to show your disdain to?"

Qi Mo choked. Even through the mask, one could sense his displeasure.

Zhou Zicheng pulled her: "Tangtang, don't be unreasonable..."

"Get lost!" Gu Ji rolled his eyes. "You found this team. I didn't ask you to pay me, and you found me a bunch of unprofessional people?"

Zhou Zicheng is Su Tang's ambiguous object.

Su Tang came along because Zhou Zicheng liked climbing snow-capped mountains.

But Zhou Zicheng didn't say a word to help Su Tang the whole time.

Zhou Zicheng's mouth twitched and he remained silent.

"That's enough!" Lu Chuan, the leader, said, "Qi Mo, Lin Yao, apologize!"

Lin Yao said: "Why?"

Lu Chuan: "Because I'm the captain!"

Lin Yao was speechless, feeling awkward with Qi Mo. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry."

Gu Ji: “I can’t hear clearly.”

"sorry!"

Gu Ji then turned around and went around Zhou Zicheng, climbing up as if she were walking on flat ground. She didn't climb until she passed Lu Chuan. Then she turned her head and looked at Zhou Zicheng and said, "I didn't want to hurt your pride before, but now there's no need. It's just a small hill, I can climb it alone. If you can't pass me, I won't pay any balance."
