Chapter 108 Hiding in the Snow in the Mountain Cave
Feng Qingge had no choice, so the four of them left first. The old woman turned around, closed the door, and went back into the house after they disappeared.
Trembling, he went to clear the dishes from the table, only to find a fist-sized silver ingot on the table, weighing a full fifty taels.
"This... sigh!" The old woman held the silver ingot in her hand, sighed, and thought of the young man who had urged her not to get cold.
"Qingge, I saw you put a silver ingot on the table?" The four quickened their pace and returned to the place they had found yesterday. Feng Qingjue and Feng Qingge walked side by side, and Feng Qingjue turned to ask her.
Feng Qingge nodded, "Yes, we stayed at their house for one night and had two meals. One ingot of silver isn't much." Moreover, she noticed that the old man in the other room seemed to have been ill for a long time. The fact that they were still willing to host them under such circumstances meant that the family must be of good character, and this was what they deserved.
“Alright, I think that old woman is a very nice person,” Feng Qingjue said after thinking for a moment.
The two whispered to each other behind him, while Mo Linyuan, who was walking ahead, was feeling somewhat exhausted and his attention was entirely on the two of them.
Returning to the place where the snow started yesterday, we continued deeper into the area. It was early morning, and although it should have been a time of light wind and snow, the wind was biting our faces.
The four exchanged glances, each with a different, unspoken meaning in their eyes.
It seems they have found the snow demon's lair.
Looking up, I saw a giant snow-capped mountain that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, towering straight into the clouds.
The cold air pierced to the bone, and the exposed skin stung painfully. Snowflakes fell from the sky, disappearing into the snow.
"Looks like it turned out to be a blessing in disguise." He chuckled sarcastically, thinking that the demon probably never expected anyone to find it.
"Let's go." Lowering his head, Mo Linyuan said in a deep voice, took a step, and instantly leaped up without touching the ground. In no time, he had already reached the snow mountain.
"Walk."
The other three were astonished; Mo Linyuan's speed was too fast, so fast that they could only catch a fleeting shadow.
In an instant, four figures flashed past on the snow-covered mountain, which was covered in white, and went higher and higher.
I don't know how long we traveled, but we couldn't see the end of the road above or the ground below, only layers of white mist drifting by.
Halfway up the mountain, although it was all white, there were still tall trees standing tall, and occasionally a few wild rabbits would run by.
"Mo Linyuan, stop." Feng Qingge exerted her strength and caught up with the person in front.
Upon hearing this, the man in the purple robe stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at her with questioning eyes.
"I see a cave over there. The heavy snow is coming soon, let's go in and take shelter." He pointed, and there was indeed a cave on the right side of the mountainside.
Although the entrance to the cave was mostly buried by snow, it was still visible.
"Okay." Nodding in agreement, Mo Linyuan jumped down a little further and walked towards the cave that Feng Qingge pointed to.
As the two approached, they discovered that Hei Ming and Feng Qingjue had worked together to clear the snow from the cave entrance.
The four entered the cave to escape the approaching blizzard.
Although the cave was not large, it was more than enough for four people to fit in.
There were large trees growing outside, with many branches sprouting out, so Hei Ming flipped over and jumped onto the tree, breaking off several thick branches with his bare hands.
And this large branch has countless small branches, so it is easy to start a fire.
Because the group hadn't expected to be unable to return, they hadn't brought any food with them, and being cold and hungry was truly unpleasant.
Feng Qingjue remembered seeing several wild rabbits along the way, so she decided to go out and try her luck, thinking it was better than going hungry all day.
