However, their pace did not stop. In the bitter cold, the team struggled to move forward slowly, taking every step carefully to avoid slipping and falling into the abyss.
The extremely low temperature did not make them retreat. Everyone's hearts were filled with longing for home and yearning for warmth.
However, the road became increasingly difficult to navigate as they climbed to the top of the mountain, the terrain becoming steeper. The further they advanced, the colder the temperature grew, and the more rugged the road became. When they reached a narrow path, the team suddenly stopped. Monkey said to Lin Feng, who was at the end of the group, "Brother Feng, the road ahead is blocked by ice. I'm afraid our team won't be able to get through!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately rushed to the front to investigate the situation. He saw that the protruding rocks were covered with hard ice. If the team wanted to pass through, they had to knock off all the ice.
Lin Feng: "Tie Zhu, bring the iron tools from the carriage, and let's just knock off the ice!"
Upon hearing this, Tiezhu immediately dug out his tools, and with everyone working together, all the ice that was in the way was knocked out.
Lin Feng moved away all the broken ice that rolled on the ground to prevent the convoy from accidentally overturning while moving!
After clearing the obstacles, the team moved forward slowly again. Everyone encouraged each other and kept telling themselves in their hearts to persevere. Only by climbing over the mountain in front of them could they return home and enjoy real warmth!
After two hours of unremitting efforts, they finally succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain. At this time, everyone's physical strength had reached its limit.
The monkey, disregarding his image, lay on the ground, rubbing his frozen fingers, staring into the distance, muttering to himself, "Finally, I'm up!"
Lin Feng looked around and found a flat, open area that could serve as a temporary resting spot. They used the carriage as a shelter and sat in a circle to rest, but the pervasive cold wind still pierced everyone's faces, causing pain like a knife.
Looking at the people slumped on the ground resting, Li Yan took out the prepared dry food from the carriage and distributed it to everyone: "Everyone, take advantage of the rest and eat something!"
Everyone took the cold and hard pancake from Li Yan's hand and did nothing for a long time.
Lin Feng advised, "Eat something even if you have no appetite. We still have to go down the mountain! How will we have the strength to do this if we don't eat?"
After hearing this, everyone started to eat the cold and hard bread!
The group rested for about a quarter of an hour, and Lin Feng was the first to stand up and said, "It's getting late. We have to get down the mountain before dark. Let's get going early!"
After a brief rest, the group set out again, following the path down the mountain. While the path wasn't as rough as the ascent, it was steeper. A biting, cold wind blew, shaking everyone. They moved cautiously, fearing they might slip and fall into the abyss.
Finally, with everyone's unremitting efforts, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain safely.
At this time, everyone was exhausted. Their bodies had reached their limits and they collapsed to the ground without saying a word.
Li Yan was exhausted at this point. She found a water bag filled with sugar water and distributed it to everyone: "Uncles, drink some water!"
After everyone drank the sugar water and rested for a while, Lin Feng looked at the gradually darkening sky and urged, "It's getting late. Everyone, grit your teeth and hurry forward to the ruined temple to rest!"
The group finally arrived at the dilapidated temple where they stayed last time before dark.
