Chapter four hundred and seventy-eight: cocooning oneself (big chapter)
"Huhu"
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes beat mercilessly on the cheeks of the Zhou Yi people.
Their hair and clothes were all covered with a layer of crystal snowflakes.
The further we go, the bigger the snowflakes get.
"Whoa, whoa, whoosh," one person shuddered and asked Zhou Yi: "Brother Zhou Yi, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived at the post house yet?"
As soon as these words came out, the other four people began to shout that they couldn't stand it anymore.
"The temperature difference is too big. I'm afraid we may not be able to bear it if we leave again." One person shouted that something was wrong. This place was more severe than they thought.
The other man put his hands tightly into his sleeves and was shivering from the cold.
"Oh my god, if I had known it was so cold, I would have waited down at the No Return Inn. It's too cold."
"I feel like my feet are going numb. Why don't we go down? I think we won't be able to bear it if we keep going!"
"Otherwise, let's go down, I can't stand it anymore!"
The five people behind him began to retreat. For a moment, Zhou Yi's face was uncertain, and he was also complaining in his heart.
I thought it was only a three-mile journey. Normally when I walk around the back garden at home, it’s almost this distance.
Just think of exercising before meals.
But when I really went up, I realized that it was not the case at all.
The higher they go, the more difficult it becomes. Even with their strength, every step is difficult.
Especially the cold wind that blew from time to time, drifting over with a "whoosh" sound, it was like falling into an ice hell, and the six people of Zhou and Yi had to rely on their magic power to survive.
At this time, looking at the vast white mist ahead, there was no sign of the post house.
Zhou Yi was also very anxious.
But if you want them to go back... Zhou Yi looked a little guilty for a moment: "Sorry, we're afraid we won't be able to go back!"
"Can't go back!!"
The five people were startled and didn't understand why Zhou Yi said that.
I heard Zhou Yi helplessly say: "You five have never been to Youshan and don't know anything about it. Bugui Inn is a place for people to rest, but the name Bugui also means a warning."
It turns out that the name of the "No Return Inn" at the back is also to remind people that going forward is the point of no return.
Once in, you can't get out.
You can only go to the point of no return, come to the Huitou Forest, and get the Huitou Leaf in the Huitou Forest, otherwise you will not be able to get out.
Zhou Yi knew about this a long time ago, because not long ago, he and his father came to visit the owner of Youshan.
Although I haven't even met him in person, I know a lot of mysteries.
This is the most insidious part of his poisonous scheme.
After Ding Xiaoyi and others came in, it was difficult to get down the mountain.
Even if he struggled to climb to the post house, without the identity of a ghost official, they were not even qualified to enter. In the cold and snowy place, he might not be able to survive with his little strength.
When the time comes, Chai Rong should not bow to herself and ask for help.
By that time, I will have plenty of ways to deal with them and make them cry for father and mother.
However, Zhou Yi never expected that the distance of three miles would be so difficult to walk.
In fact, it's no wonder that he went to Youshan with his father last time and rode his father's ghost dragon carriage. The journey was naturally comfortable and peaceful.
Who would have known that the danger involved was so alarming.
After listening to Zhou Yi's words, the expressions of the five people behind him suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Don't think about it. When you set foot on the point of no return, you have to go all the way to the end. If you persevere, maybe take a few more steps and you'll be there!"
Zhou Yi saw that they were unhappy, so he comforted the five of them, patting his chest and saying:
"In this Youshan Fruit Fair, it is rumored that there are many kinds of strange and precious fruits. I will definitely share them with all the brothers. When the time comes, I will ask my father to refine a furnace of elixirs for you as compensation."
After hearing this, the expressions of the five people finally softened a lot. The key is that there is no way out now. No matter what, they can only bite the bullet and go up.
"We are walking so hard, I'm afraid kid..."
One person looked behind him with some worry, but Ding Xiaoyi and Chai Rong were nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Zhou Yi, if something happens..."
Some people are worried that this matter will get out of hand. After all, he is Chai Rong's cousin. If there is any accident, they will not be able to explain it.
Zhou Yi curled his lips and sneered at this: "What cousin? I think it's nonsense. He is obviously a living person. How can he be Chai Rong's cousin? It would be better if he is dead!"
At first, Zhou Yi didn't notice it, but when he got closer, he realized something was wrong.
He observed carefully along the way, and the more he looked, the more he felt that what his cousin said was clearly an excuse.
I'm afraid the relationship between the two is anything but normal.
So what if it gets too big? Chai Rong ignores me all the time, but is so affectionate to a living person. If it gets too big, Po Meng's face will be disgraced, so what does it have to do with me!
Zhou Yi was now full of complaints.
How wronged I have been.
At first, he was tolerant of Chai Rong. He thought she was a young girl, and she was just being deceived.
But now their situation is so bad. While Zhou Yi resents Ding Xiaoyi, his favorable impression of Chai Rong has also plummeted. He feels that this trouble is all caused by this trouble.
A group of people stepped forward.
After walking for who knows how long, Zhou Yi felt that his hands were almost frozen, and his ears and face were numb from the cold.
The people behind him did the same thing, and they intuitively felt that what was falling from the sky was not snowflakes, but knives.
The clothes on my body are not warm at all.
Even though they possess magical powers, it has no effect at all on the road of no return.
The snowflakes were falling, and each piece was like a heavy weight, weighing on them, making them almost unbearable, and they felt that if they continued to walk, they would lose their souls.
"Look!"
Suddenly Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he saw two lanterns flickering with phosphorus fire in the heavy snow ahead.
Take a closer look, isn't it the inn they are looking for?
For a moment, Zhou Yi and others were so happy that they could not wait to jump for joy and shout.
"Quick! Let's go in quickly, take a hot bath, have a banquet, and feel comfortable."
Zhou Yi waved his hand to encourage the five brothers behind him, asking them to speed up their pace.
I can already imagine in my heart that delicious food is just around the corner.
The visual inspection ahead was only about a kilometer, so the six people were encouraged and their steps naturally became more vigorous.
Even though every step they take makes their bodies feel like they are about to collapse, as long as they think that if they take a few more steps, they can take a comfortable hot bath, eat delicious food, and get rid of their fatigue, their hearts are filled with hope.
At this moment, a sound of mule bells suddenly came from behind them.
"Ding ding ding ding..."
The ringtone was getting closer and closer. Zhou Yi and the others were startled and turned their heads following the sound.
In the vast white mist, I saw the sound of bells, and suddenly a giant black horse jumped out of the white mist.
The giant horse's body is more than twice the size of an ordinary horse.
Not only that, the muscles all over the giant horse's body were obviously distributed in blocks. As they ran wildly on the snow, they could clearly feel that every muscle on it was full of explosive power.
"No, get out of the way!" Zhou Yi screamed, but he rushed to the side in a hurry.
Immediately, the biting cold snow poured into his body along the collar of his clothes. The biting coldness was comparable to the snowflakes in the ice hell, making his whole body feel as if he was going to freeze.
Before he could get up, he saw a giant horse galloping past behind him, rolling up huge waves of snow and pinning Zhou Yi heavily in the snow.
For a moment, Zhou Yi felt bad all over. He struggled to crawl out of the snowdrift, but he didn't want to feel something appear behind him as soon as he emerged from the snowdrift.
"Brother Zhou Yi, watch your back!!"
His ears were blocked by the snow, but when he saw the horrified expressions of the five people in the distance, he couldn't help but look back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, his head seemed to be hit by something. With a "bang!", Zhou Yi's vision went dark and his body fell into the snow.
I didn't know what happened until I fainted.
Fortunately, the other five people hurried over and someone took out a pill and stuffed it into Zhou Yi with a look of pain on his face.
After a few people flipped through the operation, Zhou Yi woke up in a daze and looked back at the inn.
Only then did he see a carriage running past, heading in the direction of the post house.
"Fuck, remember this account for me!"
After saying this, he hurried over with five people to see clearly who dared to hit him with a car. He would have to explain this matter to his father when he arrived tomorrow.
As a result, several people hurried over and rushed to the door of the post house to take a look.
Suddenly several people's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
I saw the small door on the side of the carriage slowly opening, and the kid on the side had already moved the horse stool. However, the person who walked out of the door was actually Ding Xiaoyi!!
"How could it be him!!"
Zhou Yi simply couldn't believe his eyes.
The six of us climbed up with great hardships and embarrassment.
This boy actually came up in a carriage comfortably. The contrast is too great, right?
Just before his mind could turn around, a scene that made him even more jealous appeared.
After Ding Xiaoyi got off the carriage, he shivered and stretched out his hand towards the carriage.
A small, boneless hand was placed lightly on his palm, and Chai Rong, wearing a red cloak, stepped out of the car door.
Suddenly, the bright red dress, coupled with the white snow all around, and the long black hair, the whole set of dotted emerald hair ornaments is touching emerald blue, making it look even more mature and luxurious.
In an instant, Zhou Yi's eyes straightened.
This look is completely different from Chai Rong's appearance before.
In fact, Chai Rong was born into a noble family, but after becoming an apprentice to Po Meng, she did too many chores and lost weight.
At this time, Chai Rong, under Ding Xiaoyi's invitation, rearranged her hair, put on the set of hair accessories he gave her, and put on a red cloak, which highlighted her whole personality.
It was so beautiful that Zhou Yi could only swallow his saliva when he saw it.
But soon Zhou Yi's face suddenly turned cold, and Ding Xiaoyi affectionately tightened her cloak and helped her go inside.
"My Ronger!!"
Zhou Yi's face turned cold, and he walked up with great momentum.
"How did you get up here?"
Zhou Yi was also confused. Isn't this something obvious?
Ding Xiaoyi looked back at him and frowned: "Who are you?"
In front of him, Zhou Yi looked like a drowned rat, with ice hanging all over his body, especially a wheel mark on his head.
No matter how you look at it, he is completely different from the previous handsome and graceful Lord Zhou Yi.
No wonder he didn't recognize it at first glance.
"Boy, why are you pretending to be confused! Don't you know us?"
Five people gathered behind him.
Ding Xiaoyi suddenly realized it. He looked around and asked knowingly: "Oh, it turns out to be brother Zhou Yi. Why are you in such a mess?"
"you!!"
Zhou Yi was almost going crazy because he was not doing this because of him.
Just when Zhou Yi's eyes were about to spit out fire, the steward hurried over.
"Guys, please don't be impatient. I'm the manager here. If you have any questions, just tell me and don't do anything."
When Zhou Yi saw this, he didn't get angry easily. He glanced at Chai Rong with a greedy look in his eyes.
A thought came to my mind: "We are going to stay in a hotel, prepare a first-class room!"
"Of course, of course!"
The steward nodded repeatedly, but then asked: "Do you have official status?"
What Zhou Yi was waiting for was this sentence: "Of course, I am Zhou Yi, the son of the master of Yintian Palace in Zhou Jue. This is the son of the other five palaces in our six days in Fengdu."
As he spoke, he also took out his identity badge.
After the steward took it and inspected it carefully, he immediately looked at Ding Xiaoyi and Chai Rong.
Suddenly, Ding Xiaoyi looked embarrassed.
Zhou Yi felt ecstatic in his heart. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still had the plan under his control.
Seeing Ding Xiaoyi's troubled expression, he couldn't help but sneered: "Why, could it be that my cousin can't do it without an official position? Oh, this will be difficult to handle."
As he spoke, he looked at the heavy snow around him: "It's so cold here. If my cousin doesn't have an official position, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble tonight!"
"Yeah, it's such a cold day, I'm afraid if you go down there overnight, you'll turn into a popsicle!"
"What should we do? We don't know there are such rules."
The five people behind him began to sing bad words, with expressions of gloating on their faces. They bumped along the way and were half frozen to death.
Ding Xiaoyi actually came up in a carriage, which made them feel unbalanced.
So I am very happy to see this guy being unlucky and angry.
"this……"
Chai Rong was a little panicked for a moment, and her brows became tense.
This made Zhou Yi feel secretly happy. Looking at Chai Rong, I felt pity for him: I shouted in my heart: "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
, I’ll give you half of the bed.”
Under the gaze of brothers Zhou Yi,
Ding Xiaoyi lived up to expectations and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't have an official status!"
After Zhou Yi heard this, he almost jumped up with joy. Sure enough, everything was as he thought.
"Then I'm sorry!" the butler said with a slightly serious expression, "The distinguished guest has no official status, so he can only live in the second-class room upstairs."
Zhou Yi, who had already made a draft in his mind, immediately showed a helpless expression: "Yes, cousin, you can only live in a second-class room... What, what? A second-class room?"
Halfway through the words, the smile on Zhou Yi's face suddenly solidified on his face, and his eyes suddenly looked at the steward: "Second-class room??"
"Yes, if you don't have an official status, you can live in a second-class room!"
The steward nodded and said.
“Have the rules changed??”
Zhou Yi had a big headache. Aren't the only people who can stay in the post house are those with official status? How did it change?
The steward nodded and said with a serious look: "Yes, our major shareholders just held a meeting and said that the post house has not been profitable all year round and has suffered huge losses, so the rules have been changed. People without official status can only live in second-class housing!"
"Hiss!" A cold air was sucked into his teeth, and Zhou Yi felt that his face was burning for a moment.
If he had known this, he might as well have stayed at the No Return Inn.
Now, even the five brothers behind him looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
After engaging in conspiracy for a long time, the result was nothing, and it brought them all down with misfortune. This guy's brain must have been crushed by the wheels of a car.
"If that's the case, then it's time to take care of things."
Ding Xiaoyi patted his chest, looking very lucky.
The steward waved his hand and asked the two brats to take Ding Xiaoyi and Chai Rong in.
Looking at Chai Rong's back, Zhou Yi felt empty in his heart.
As if she noticed something, Chai Rong looked back. The moment their eyes met, Zhou Yi felt that his heart was about to melt.
Chai Rong's alluring color perfectly interprets what it means to look back and see a hundred charming eyes, three thousand pink and white colors without any color.
Just when Zhou Yi was in a dreamlike state, unable to return to his senses.
The five brothers behind him couldn't sit still. They were about to freeze to death. A few of them woke up Zhou Yi who was still dreaming: "Brother Zhou Yi, don't be stupid and go in first!"
Obviously, in the eyes of the five brothers at this moment, Zhou Yi had become a fool. They actually followed such a fool and walked such a long way in vain. They were almost frozen.
Zhou Yi calmed down and said to himself: "It doesn't matter, I have plenty of opportunities!"
He immediately looked at the steward: "Then those of us with official status can live in first-class rooms!"
"Of course, of course!" The steward nodded like a fool.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi waved his hand impatiently: "Lead the way, prepare something to eat and drink, let's take a good rest!"
However, the steward opened his hand helplessly: "Sorry, the first-class rooms are full!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and didn't seem to understand what it meant. They only heard the steward repeat: "The first-class rooms are full!"
The five brothers behind Zhou Yi looked at each other and suddenly felt a bad premonition in their hearts.
Someone quickly asked: "What about the second-class rooms!!"
"Sorry, the room just now was the last one, and now...it's also full." The housekeeper said helplessly.
"how so."
Zhou Yi's voice suddenly became louder, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
When he thought that Ding Xiaoyi and Chai Rong actually shared a room, Zhou Yi's mind almost exploded. He had worked hard and endured many hardships, but in the end he actually fulfilled others??
What kind of spirit is this? Marx didn’t even have this consciousness.
Thinking of the scene of the two of them in the same room, having sex with each other, Zhou Yi only felt that the green grassland above him was so green that it made him panic.
In addition, after many hardships along the way, his body had already reached its limit, not to mention that he was hit by a carriage just now, and all kinds of disasters happened one after another.
Zhou Yi's face turned red and white for a moment, he foamed at the mouth, rolled his eyelids, fell straight to the ground, and fainted.
