Being strangers in a foreign land, Zhou Caifeng and Sun Leling were a little uncomfortable, but Chen Siyao, perhaps because she was used to it, was like being at home, and had no problem adapting. After hearing what Zhao Yulin said, she began to think about the meat on the beams.

"Let me borrow your coins to use."

She walked to Zhao Yulin and opened her palm to him.

Zhao Yulin was stunned for a moment, then realized that the girl wanted to learn his coin throwing knife to cut the rope of the dried yak meat.

"I think your trick is not as good as rolling around." Zhao Yulin naturally did not give her his lucky coin.

Chen Siyao frowned slightly. She looked around but couldn't find a ladder or anything like that. The three or four stools were all low stools, not enough for her to step on to take the meat off the beam.

The water was boiling. Zhao Yulin didn't care about the ugly face of the beautiful policewoman. He took a wooden basin from the wall, scooped up hot water and brought it to the stove where everyone was warming themselves: "Take off your shoes and soak your feet in hot water to drive away the cold."

This place is so cold that it's really troublesome.

Sun Leling was coy again, staring at her bodyguard with a resentful look and a bit of pity.

That look almost melted Zhao Yulin's heart. After leaving Yanjing and Sun Chongyue, he was the only shoulder that the young lady could lean on in this distant mountain and water.

He knew Sun Leling's thoughts without much guessing. He smiled dotingly and said, "Don't worry. Wearing such thick shoes and climbing half a mountain, your feet will smell a little. Besides, your feet don't stink, so what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Caifeng couldn't help but smile. After walking together for a few days, she had already seen Sun Leling's hidden feelings for Zhao Yulin. At this time, she only thought that this little rival sister who was three years younger than her was cute. At least she couldn't do the same shy little girl's behavior, and she couldn't pretend.

She suddenly thought that being mature and sensible too early was not necessarily a good thing sometimes. For example, she was not as lovable as a little girl.

"Foot bath? I like it, I like it!"

Chen Siyao was everywhere, running to the stove with small steps, taking off her shoes and stuffing her feet into the wooden basin, then looking up to the sky and sighing in ecstasy: "Ah, it feels so good!"

After walking through the gates of hell and experiencing the incident before moving into Zhuxi Garden, she was most afraid of getting sick, especially catching a cold. Subconsciously, she would think of the Black Widow and the nightmare that almost made her sleep forever.

With her best friend as the vanguard, Sun Leling carefully took off her shoes, took off her socks, and put her pair of exquisite feet into the hot water.

The basin was quite big, and the three girls' feet were also delicate and small. The six feet fit in the basin just right without crowding.

"Brother-in-law, what about me?"

Zhou Yidian pointed at himself with an innocent expression.

He saw another wooden basin in the room, but was ruthlessly rejected by Zhao Yulin: "You think too much, that one is for washing your face."

"Then why don't we soak our feet? What if we catch a cold if we soak too late? Brother-in-law, you can't put women before friendship." Zhou Yidian's acting skills were very good, and his eyes were already shining with tears. I guess he pretended to be pitiful to his sister when he was at home.

Zhao Yulin smiled evilly and said, "You are my only brother-in-law, how can I not care about you?" The youngest son of

the Zhou family was stunned, and there seemed to be some ominous elements flowing in the air.

As expected, his premonition was soon confirmed.

"Come, come, brother-in-law will take you out to play and get rid of the cold in your body."

Zhao Yulin found a rag for the girls to wipe their feet with, then stood at the door, waving to Zhou Yidian with a smile on his face, as if the big bad wolf was deceiving the little white rabbit.

"Brother-in-law, I suddenly feel a warm current in my body, and I don't seem to be so afraid of the cold anymore." Zhou Yidian's pupils were filled with extreme fear, and he rubbed his butt against the stool and shrank back.

Zhao Yulin just stared at him and smiled, without saying anything, but that smile was somewhat cold, colder than the ice crystals hanging on the banana leaves outside the house.

Zhou Yidian looked at his own sister for help, and Zhou Caifeng looked at her boyfriend with a silly smile, ignoring the signal from her brother.

Marry a wife and forget your mother; find a man and abandon your brother.

Zhou Yidian gave up the last struggle, slapped his thigh in righteousness, and then stood up with a resolute look, as if he was ready to die, reciting the famous poem of the righteous man of the previous dynasty: "I hold my sword and laugh at the sky, and my liver and gallbladder will remain as Kunlun whether I go or go!"

"Well, it's quite generous and passionate." Zhao Yulin nodded seriously, "Let's go, Zhou Zhuangshi?"

...

...

Hualong Valley was unusually cold. Whether from the longitude and latitude or the altitude, this place should not be so cold, but it is so cold.

Zhou Yidian imitated the posture of the middle-aged and elderly people in the past, folded his hands in his sleeves, and followed Zhao Yulin out of the warm hut with his nose.

"Brother-in-law, you said that such a cold place should be very poor, how come the grass and trees are growing so lush?"

He looked at the green fields and couldn't help but be curious.

Putting aside the freezing temperature, the whole Hualong Valley looks no different from the sunny spring with birds flying and grass growing. Through the vibrant appearance, there is a sense of weirdness that is terrifying when you think about it carefully.

The grass and trees are all deep.

Zhao Yulin pulled away the willow branches hanging above his head and said, "Your brother-in-law is just a warrior and not a researcher. It's useless for you to ask me. If you have a chance, you can ask those great doctors and maybe you can get some answers."

"Then tell my sister, do you really believe the myth of the white snake turning into an ice dragon?" Zhou Yidian asked again.

Zhao Yulin said, "When an uneducated person like me encounters such an inexplicable phenomenon, I can only think of it in the feudal superstitious way, but I have to remind you."

"What?"

"Don't believe in ghosts and gods, but it's better to be in awe of them."

When he said this, Zhao Yulin looked very solemn. The old man had told him the same thing in the past. He didn't take it seriously at first and just ignored it.

But later, after leaving Longdong Village, he had a lot of dealings with the dead and the living, and he had seen and heard too many weird things. Gradually, these words were imprinted in his heart.

"I am a top student of a university, a good boy of the new era, and scholars do not believe in ghosts and monsters." Zhou Yidian sucked his snot back into his nose, acting a bit sloppy, just like Zhao Yulin's reaction at the time.

Zhao Yulin did not dwell on this matter. After all, ordinary people may not see those weird and bizarre anecdotes in their lifetime. Believe it if you want to, or not if you don't.

"I say, kid, I've asked you to change the subject, now isn't it time for you to be obedient?"

"How can I change the subject? I really think it's weird."

Zhou Yidian said aggrievedly: "I listen to my sister and my sister listens to you. Now I am the doomed Yang Bailao. I have been tricked and have no power to resist. I don't want to play tricks with you two!"

"You have realized it well."

Zhao Yulin didn't mind being called Huang Shiren. Looking at the small thatched cottage on the hillside, he said, "On the first day, I won't ask too much of you. You just run from here to the thatched cottage. You can have lunch after running ten times back and forth."

Zhou Yidian looked at the thatched cottage and suddenly felt hopeless.

The distance is not far. Ten round trips add up to about 10,000 meters of walking. The key is that the ridge is very steep and difficult to step on. Previously, Zhao Yulin led the girls to climb up, and it was very difficult to walk. It took more than half an hour. Now Zhou Yidian has to run, so the latter naturally finds it difficult.

"Brother-in-law, you want to tire a few cows to death!" Zhou Yidian looked at the ridge sadly.

Zhao Yulin smiled coldly and said, "One is courage, the other is strength, and the third is kung fu. I'll let you off today and not train your courage for now. I'll just let you train your strength. If you find it hard, we can follow the normal procedure."

"Train your courage, right?"

Zhou Yidian was eager to try. He had been very wild since he was a child and was basically not afraid of anything. In the huge Zhou Family Manor, even the old man Zhou Banxiong, who was always as tiring as a tiger, was feared by everyone, but he was not afraid at all since he was a child, not to mention his father and mother who were still alive at that time.

It can be said that in the entire manor, Zhou Caifeng was the only one who could control Zhou Yidian.

Such a young man naturally did not feel courageous, at least he thought so.

"Okay."

Zhao Yulin lazily sneered, lowering his eyelids with a lack of interest, and pointed to the top of the mountain above the hut, saying, "Climb up, the terrain there is very flat, and there are many rare animals that you can't see outside."

Zhou Yidian became more and more excited: "What? Will I meet the legendary snow leopard?"

"If you are lucky, you may meet one." Zhao Yulin said casually.

"Okay! Then let's go and practice our courage!" Zhou Yidian ran towards the nearly 600-meter-high mountain pass with a cheerful pace. After running a distance, he heard no movement behind him, and couldn't help but turn around to see that Zhao Yulin was still standing under the willow tree, motionless.

Zhao Yulin folded his hands, raised his voice, and said, "We agreed to train our courage. Of course, you go alone. If I follow you, I will definitely not bear to see you being eaten by wild animals and save you. That would be meaningless."

Zhou Yidian's face turned pale.

"Go ahead."

Zhao Yulin waved his hand, "There are a lot of rare animals here, and most of them are herbivores. If you are lucky, I don't think you will encounter a hungry snow leopard or a big cat that has been coiled on a rock for several days. It seems to be called a lynx or something. Oh, by the way, this place borders Tibet, and there are brown bears. If you encounter one, remember not to run away, but to confront it head-on, so that you will die more dignified."

Zhou Yidian was stunned.

Zhao Yulin turned around, patted the willow tree beside him, and shouted: "The wood of this tree is good. When you die, I will chop it down and write your name on it to build a cenotaph for you. Anyway, you will never come back. Tomorrow morning you will become a pile of bear or snow leopard feces. Even if it is not eaten, I will not collect your body to prevent your sister from seeing you die in pieces."

"Sorry, I can only leave your body in the wilderness, but don't be sad. Your brother-in-law loves you. Besides, I have done this kind of thing before and am especially good at carving tombstones for people."

"What kind of epitaph do you want to write? Tell me in advance and I'll remember it."

Zhou Yidian rushed back, put his hands on the ground and bent his waist, which was the movement of starting a race: "It's just ten laps, I'll run, is it necessary to scare me like that!?"
