In every era, there are good people and bad people.
The fellow villager warmly invited Hua Wuxia and Ye Linlang to stay at their home and set off tomorrow morning after the snow stopped.
When we arrived at our fellow villager's house, it was already dark.
The dog tied in the yard smelled a stranger and started barking non-stop.
The fellow villager reached out and touched the dog's head, "Heizi, don't bark, we are guests."
Heizi listened to his owner and obediently went into the warm doghouse.
My fellow villager’s house is a typical northern building.
As soon as you enter the door, you can feel the warmth.
"Boss, you're back?"
The elder brother from the village took off his felt hat and said to his wife, "We have guests at home. Is there enough food?"
The fellow villager's sister-in-law glanced at Hua Wuxia and Ye Linlang and whispered, "Enough."
These days, life is hard for every household.
A family with surplus food is truly a wealthy family.
However, wise people know how to adapt to local conditions and use local materials.
Even in poverty, life can have a different flavor.
My fellow villager has two people and a dog.
There are cabbage, pork and vermicelli in the pot, served with big steamed buns.
The big steamed buns are not made of refined flour, but a mixture of flour and cornmeal.
Master and disciple Ye Linlang and Hua Wuxia were almost freezing to death while sitting in the donkey cart, but as soon as they entered the room with the warm kang, they instantly felt like they were alive again.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt."
Before Ye Linlang and Hua Wuxia set off, Qiao Nian was worried that they would not have enough to eat on the road, so he specially baked some pancakes, steamed some buns, and boiled some hard-boiled eggs and put them in their bags.
But who knew that the weather in the north would be so cold.
Those cakes, buns and the like were like ice cubes and were impossible to bite.
After the master and disciple stayed at a fellow villager's home for one night, Ye Linlang and Hua Wuxia left one-third of the food prepared by Qiao Nian to the fellow villager, and put some money in their pockets.
"The snow has stopped. It was light last night. Are you going to the house on Blind Man's Hill?"
Blind Man's Hill is located in the deep mountains and forests.
The residents there include some forest rangers and some intellectuals.
When the elder brother from the village sent Hua Wuxia and Ye Linlang to the intersection, he asked, "Sisters, be careful on the road. If you can't find the way, just come back and wait for a few days for the weather to clear up before going into the mountains."
Hua Wuxia thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, brother."
The elder brother from the village said warmly and cheerfully, "Why thank me? When we're out and about, we're all brothers and sisters. Don't be polite! Do you see that place with smoke coming out of the chimney ahead? That's Blind Man's Hill."
The fellow villager watched as Hua Wuxia and Ye Linlang, the master and apprentice, walked in the snow, one step deep and one step shallow.
I can't stop worrying, will this... work?
Can they reach Blind Man's Hill before dark?
However, with such thick snow, even his little donkey couldn't get into the mountains.
Only after the fellow villager could no longer see Ye Linlang and Hua Wuxia did he turn around and drive the donkey home.
"Linlang, slow down."
The snow is very thick.
With every step she took, Hua Wuxia's heart was filled with worry.
If she had known the snow was so thick, she should not have let Linlang go with her.
If Linlang had an accident on the road, how would she explain to the Ye family?
"Master, I'm fine."
Although, the smoke from the Blind Hill can be seen from afar.
But actually walking in the snow, Ye Linlang and Hua Wuxia had to spend about six or seven hours before they could see the dozen or so scattered houses on Blind Hill.
