684: C684 Uphill

C684 Uphill

"Hello, Aunt. We're here again." Qin Ruoxi greeted the chef as soon as she entered the door. The chef was beaming with joy when he saw Qin Ruoxi and the others arrive.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the kitchen maid hurriedly brought out hot dishes from home to greet Qin Ruoxi and the others. He then cleaned up the empty room at home and arranged for Qin Ruoxi and Sima Ling Lan to stay there.

Medicine King took the ropes from the cook's house and a few pairs of gloves. Mr. Wu said these were all left here after Mr. Liu's last purchase.

When Chu Yingloong hired the chef's family, he had already thought of the items that he needed the most when he went up the mountain, so he bought them and placed them at the chef's house in case of an emergency.

Coincidentally, Medicine King and coincidentally needed these things this time. Medicine King and Qin Ruoxi coincidentally had to stay with their cook for the night.

"Senior Medicine King, how many days has grandfather and the others been there for?" As Qin Ruoxi was eating the steaming hot food, she said to Medicine King, "I wonder if they brought enough food."

Medicine King replied while eating, "He probably went there for about two days. It was still raining the day they started out, and maybe they didn't go up the mountain that day either. "

These were all speculations made by Medicine King, and he wasn't too clear about the specifics. However, according to the chef's family, Chu Yingloong brought lava, which was relatively familiar with the mountain roads here, so they just waited for the rain to stop before going up the mountain.

Rain days, especially because the mountain is covered with snow all year round, walking is particularly inconvenient. Qin Ruoxi was actually a bit worried at the moment.

"Grandfather, it's true. It was not a big deal to stay for another day. "Why must you be so anxious?" Qin Ruoxi said so. If it was normal times, it would have been fine. It was just cold, but this time it was after the rain.

Qin Ruoxi was worried that something bad would happen to Chu Yingloong when he was looking for medicinal plants for Chu Yun, so how could she explain it to Chu Yun? Although Qin Ruoxi was worried now, but since they were already on the mountain, what could she say?

"Then when should we set off?" Sima Ling Lan still had food in her mouth, and was extremely excited at the thought of going up the mountain.

Medicine King became more curious when he saw the extremely excited Sima Ling Lan. This little girl really wanted to go up the mountain. Medicine King was really worried that she wouldn't be able to reach the top with her thin body like a bamboo pole.

While thinking, she looked at Sima Ling Lan doubtfully, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of the ferocious beasts in the mountains?"

Facing Medicine King's puzzled expression, Sima Ling Lan swallowed the beef in her mouth, "You're not afraid!" Sima Ling Lan had a calm expression on her face after she finished speaking.

This time, Medicine King really couldn't figure out what Sima Ling Lan was thinking. He went up to Qin Ruoxi and whispered, "Ruoxi, I think this girl is a bit abnormal. Do you think so?"

At first, Qin Ruoxi didn't react. However, when she saw the disgust in Medicine King's eyes, she finally understood what he meant. Therefore, she smiled embarrassedly. Senior Medicine King, stop teasing her. She's been scared for the past few days, so it's rare for her to be able to relax. "

Medicine King said very calmly, "I'm speaking the truth. He's not afraid of ferocious beasts, but he's actually afraid of people. I really think that she's a little kid, a girl like her." Medicine King pointed at his head, "Is there something missing?"

Qin Ruoxi helplessly looked at the nearby Sima Linglan, but coincidentally, Sima Linglan was also looking at the two of them. Furthermore, Sima Linglan wasn't too far away from them, and she happened to overhear Medicine King's words one by one.

Suddenly, Sima Ling Lan sat over and used one hand to pinch Medicine King's beard, making the pills howl. She then pointed at Medicine King's nose and said, "Good old fart. "I'm still here, and you dare to say I don't have enough guts."

Medicine King cried out for help as he felt the pain, "This is what it is, it doesn't make sense."

Sima Ling Lan coldly snorted, "Don't you know that it's hard to predict people's hearts? When wild beasts wanted to attack humans, they would do so very straightforwardly. But people are different. "

"If you want to deal with a person, it's very likely that they will shoot poison arrows behind their back. It was also possible for him to directly stab a knife into your heart, and it was definitely not a joke. Beasts are easy to defend against, but humans are. "

Although Sima Ling Lan's words were a bit negative and misleading, it didn't exclude the fact that Sima Ling Lan spoke the truth.

After they finished their meal, they began to talk while packing their luggage. That night, the three of them rested at the cook's house for the night. It was not so convenient to go up at night, and the roads were slippery and steep, and the weather was cold.

They could only stay here for the night and head up the mountain early the next morning. Because among the three people walking up the mountain, only Medicine King was male. Moreover, it was an old man. If they carried a tent or something, it would be extremely inconvenient.

But at night, the temperature on the mountain was extremely low. If they wanted to spend the night on the mountain, they would have to prepare something to protect themselves from the cold. After all, only Medicine King was male, so it was natural for him to take things. However, how could Medicine King, at his current age, allow him to carry such heavy things?

After thinking it over, Medicine King decided to bring the quilt with him and let Qin Ruoxi and Sima Ling Lan carry it together. This way, the two of them would be able to withstand the cold while they were on the mountain.

It was still dawn when Medicine King brought Qin Ruoxi and Sima Ling Lan up the mountain. At first, Sima Linglan felt that it wasn't convenient to use this blanket on her and ridiculed Medicine King for making a fool of himself.

But the moment Sima Linglan and Qin Ruoxi left the kitchen and stepped onto the mountain, Sima Linglan couldn't take it anymore. At this moment, her entire body was as cold as if she was naked.

"I can't do it, I can't do it. I'm wearing so much, why does it still feel like I'm not wearing any of it?" Halfway up the mountain, Sima Ling Lan started to shout.2

She couldn't stand the temperature right now. He felt that if this went on, he would be frozen into an ice cube. Sima Ling Lan stopped her steps and shouted. The moment she stopped, Qin Ruoxi also stopped.

"We're only halfway up the mountain and you can't take it anymore. Why did you stay on the mountain for three to four days?" Medicine King did not stop. He continued walking while leaning on his walking stick.

"But I'm cold, I'm cold, what if I can't walk?"

"What else can we do?" Walk, walk, walk, and you must not stop. When you stop, you will feel very cold. If you don't stop, you won't feel that cold anymore. "
