Pei Yu glanced at his surroundings and said apologetically, "The mountain is snowed in, and I can't tell which way is up."
Mo Qing looked at him in disbelief. No, was he trying to trick people?
Pei Yu can't tell the direction, so how can he lead the army to fight? Doesn't he feel guilty when he says this?
"you……"
Pei Yu held his head and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it."
Mo Qing looked at him expectantly, hoping he could figure out where it was.
"Oh, no, it gives me a headache just thinking about it. I really can't remember it."
Mo Qing: “…”
If he still can't see that Pei Yu is playing a trick on him, then he has grown a brain in vain.
"Ah, ah, ah, that's enough. You hurt your heart, not your head. You're covering the wrong place."
Pei Yu didn't even look at what he said. He put the hand that was rubbing his temple to his heart and said, "Yeah, look at my memory."
Mo Qing smiled and said, "I think you've entered the aging stage early. If your memory is too poor, I have a way to help you improve it."
Pei Yu's mouth twitched slightly. What the hell is this aging period? Mo Xiaohua's words are too poisonous.
Chen Li took a few steps away, really not wanting to see them act so childishly.
"Well, I just lied to you. Don't you know who I am?"
Mo Qing shook his head. "I definitely understand the Pei Yu from before, but the current one is too bad. I don't understand him."
"I'll give you another chance. That ginseng is at least four hundred years old."
"You didn't lie to me?" After being cheated once, Mo Qing began to be more cautious.
"If you don't want it, forget it."
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Pei Yu didn't want to say anything more and raised his foot to follow Chen Li's pace.
Seeing this, Mo Qing hurried to follow, reaching out a hand and gently patting his mouth, "Look at what I said, your brain must be frozen!"
"Zi'an, it's freezing outside. Let's go pick the ginseng quickly to prevent it from freezing."
"Well, but then again, I haven't found ginseng this old here before. Could it really be frozen?"
Pei Yu followed Chen Li and changed the direction. He was not really lying to him just now. The ginseng was originally intended to be found for him.
"You'll know if it's bad or not after you go and see for yourself."
"That's true," he said, catching up and patting Pei Yu on the shoulder. "Zi'an, you're indeed a good brother. I wasn't wrong about you."
Thinking back to what he had just said, Pei Yu didn't want to chat with him anymore, "Watch the road carefully, and don't cry if you fall."
Mo Qing laughed "hehehe", and with the ginseng carrot hanging on his side, he ignored him.
It became increasingly difficult to walk later on, so Pei Yu simply used his Qigong skills. This made things much faster, but it was a pain for Mo Qing, as his internal energy wasn't that strong, so he could only barely keep up.
After two quarters of an hour, Pei Yu stopped in front of a mountain.
"Are we there yet?"
Mo Qing was so tired that he was out of breath. Even in the middle of winter, he was sweating all over his face.
He was also gritting his teeth in his heart. If there was no ginseng here or the ginseng was rotten, he would see how he would settle the score with Pei Zian.
"It's a little warmer here."
Chen Li stretched out her hand, feeling the warmth in the air, and spoke to the two of them.
Pei Yu nodded, "Yes, Ah Li is right, the temperature here is indeed a bit higher."
After saying that, the two guards dug away the snow at the mountain pass. After a while, a cave entrance that was only wide enough for two adults to enter and exit was revealed.
Mo Qing took out a tinder, moved closer to the cave entrance, and sniffed the scent inside. "It's a bit dark in this cave! But there's nothing else there. Let's go in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man went into the cave. Seeing this, Pei Yu hurriedly pulled Chen Li to follow, and the guards behind followed closely behind.
The smell in the cave was a little damp, and there was a peculiar musty smell.
The visibility in the cave was dim, and the light from the tinder was too weak. Several guards made three torches, and it became a little brighter.
Originally, Chen Li and Mo Qing thought that the ginseng grew in the cave, but they didn't expect that there was something hidden inside the cave.
After walking in the cave for a quarter of an hour, I vaguely saw light ahead.
"Go, go, go, there is light ahead."
Mo Qing was a little excited. It seemed that he still liked bright places.
After exiting the cave, there was a forest outside. It felt taller and larger than the one outside. There was also snow, but not as much as outside.
"I didn't expect this cave to be like this." Mo Qing looked around and sighed before looking at Pei Yu. "By the way, Zi'an, where is the ginseng?"
"It's not far away, just ahead. But, I'm telling you this beforehand, I haven't been there to see it, so I don't know if it's true or not."
"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, you've already brought me here. Even if nothing happened, it's not your fault."
Pei Yu nodded. Yes, there was, but he was not sure whether it was really that many years old.
"Go explore separately."
"Yes, Master."
Mo Qing chose a direction and said, "Okay, you two will form a team, and I'll go look for it too."
It’s more fulfilling to find it yourself.
The two also chose a direction to move forward. The temperature here was relatively high. Maybe because no one has been here for many years, the pheasants and rabbits were not afraid of people and would rub against their feet from time to time.
"This place is nice."
Compared to the cold Dingzhou City, this place is much warmer.
"Well, it's just that the way in is a little far. Ah Li, there's a high possibility that Dingzhou will be my fiefdom in the future. Would you dislike it here?"
"No, the people here are very warm and honest. I like their customs very much."
Pei Yu's mouth curled up, showing that he was also happy. Since he could ask this question, it meant that there was an 80% chance that Dingzhou would be his fiefdom. Ali liked it and didn't mind it being a cold and bitter place, so he was naturally happy.
Little did she know that in Shen Li's heart, Dingzhou was not a cold and bitter place at all. Compared to the doomsday of lack of food and clothing, and polluted land and air, Dingzhou was simply a paradise.
The land and air here are not polluted, and there are sufficient food and water resources, which can completely offset the disadvantage of the cold weather.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahahahahahaha~"
As the two were walking, a demonic laughter suddenly appeared in the woods. After hearing who was laughing, they were both shocked.
Chen Li's expression was complicated, "Mo Qing he..."
Pei Yu pulled her towards the direction where the laughter came from, "His brain is frozen."
"I found ginseng, Pei Zian, come and take a look."
When the two approached, they saw Mo Qing squatting on the ground. There was a green plant there, which was ginseng, and it was quite old. He had already swept a lot of snow around it.
"Hey, hey, look at this ginseng, how beautiful it is! I found it!"
Seeing them coming, he raised his head to look at them, his brows full of pride.
