Several times before, I was just a hair's breadth away from rolling down the hillside.
If it weren't for their kung fu skills, they would probably be frozen to death or have fallen to their deaths somewhere by now.
Clearly, under normal weather conditions, this winding mountain path would only take them a few hours to traverse on horseback.
However, it has been a full seven days and it still hasn't arrived!
Tiger Head Cliff is not far from Leaping Tiger Cliff. On New Year's Eve, a cold day, Chi Erchui did not go into the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, but instead continued to fish here.
To be honest, he stopped worshipping his ancestors starting the year his wife ran off to live with his third brother, and his family and clan didn't stand up for him.
Perhaps because they were losing money, the clan turned a blind eye to this behavior.
Therefore, he still did not go to worship his ancestors this year. As he came out of the thatched hut he had built and was about to go back, he suddenly saw someone coming this way out of the corner of his eye.
He didn't know who the newcomer was, so he squinted and stood there for a while.
As the figure grew larger and the sky began to darken, he raised his voice and asked:
"Is that Qin Mu, the young master of the Qin family?"
Actually, he wasn't sure who the person was, since there weren't many people visiting Chijia'ao usually.
Not to mention, this was under conditions where the mountains were blocked by heavy snow.
He pondered for a long time, thinking it over and over, and concluded that if anyone were to come, it could only be Qin Mu.
Shen Kai, who had thought he was about to collapse, perked up instantly upon hearing the voice.
Although he and Qin Mu tried their best to protect their eyes, staying in this white environment for a long time still affected their eyes to some extent.
Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes wide and looked ahead.
Unfortunately, all he could see in the distance was a blur of white, and apart from his eyes brimming with tears, he couldn't see anything at all.
He desperately needs to find a populated area, even just one person, as long as it can help them.
So before Qin Mu could answer, he called out, "Yes! I don't know who's up ahead, but it's me, Chen Kai, and Brother Mu. We've come here for the New Year!"
Upon hearing that it was Shen Kai and Qin Mu, Chi Erchui was greatly surprised and hurriedly said, "Why are you here in this weather? Wait here, I'll go back and call for help."
Qin Mu and Shen Kai have done a great favor for the people of Chijia'ao. If it weren't for them, they definitely wouldn't have earned so much money this year.
On days like these, life can become very difficult.
Now that they've come, regardless of the reason, they should be treated well.
Yes, everyone is probably still at the ancestral hall right now. By the time he gets there, they should have almost finished the ancestral worship.
Thinking this, he followed the path he had already trodden, carrying a bucket and fishing rod, and using a non-slip cane to walk quickly away.
When he passed by the ancestral hall, everyone had already left, so he could only go to Chi Yu's house.
At that time, the firecrackers had just been set off at the old house, and everyone was preparing to eat.
Just as the old and young were summarizing the past year and looking forward to the coming year, Chi Erchui's voice came from outside the door.
"Is Xiaoyu there? The Qin family's young master and the Shen family's young master are coming from the Tiger Leaping Cliff at the foot of the mountain."
I could tell from their difficult journey that they must have suffered a lot along the way.
"Should a few of you go and greet them? I'll go to the clan chief's house right now and tell him about it."
Just as Ikeno was about to express his feelings about his family's situation this year, he suddenly heard these words.
He immediately stopped talking, let go of the wine bowl he was holding, and hurriedly walked out.
Brother Mu is his good friend. No matter what that guy thinks of Auntie, now that she has come all this way, he naturally has to go and pick her up.
The other young men present, seeing this, all got up and put on their clothes in perfect unison.
Not to mention the three Chi brothers, who already considered Qin Mu as their future brother-in-law.
After they left, Chi Yu thought for a moment, then dressed herself neatly, went back to her room to get two strips of cloth she had cut earlier, and hurriedly went outside.
