Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 252
As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Li Xin planned to rush back to Qixia Town that day, and Bai Zhantang also agreed to go back together, but suddenly a snowstorm blew up.

In this extremely bad weather, no one was willing to walk outside, so Li Xin and the two had to stay overnight.

call--!
call--!
There was a lot of wind in the whole gathering place, and those who were new to the camp without experience and whose camp was not strong enough suffered a lot.

The camp tent was blown away, all kinds of items were blown away, and people lost their shelter, so they had to brave the wind and snow to find a large camp for the night.

Li Xin, Bai Zhantang, and Zhan Hongling had already found the tent with the word "Su" in Xiaoqi early.

The first two shared a tent, and Zhan Hongling was a woman, and she was not short of money, so she booked a tent alone.

"Brother, what about the Vermillion Eyed Ice Toad? Take it out and have a look."

The two lay down side by side at night, Bai Zhantang was not in a hurry to sleep, and urged Li Xin to take out the treasure.

"That's it."

Li Xin flipped over with one hand, and Zhu Jing Bingchan appeared on the palm of his hand.

Coo, coo!

Its intelligence is similar to that of ordinary toads, and its action pattern is also the same. The whole thing is slow, and it doesn't move in Li Xin's palm, just barking twice in a very slow rhythm.

"It's getting cold, it really is a baby!"

Bai Zhantang sighed in admiration, and stretched out his hand to touch it.

It's cold and the temperature is very low. Ordinary people may get frostbite if they touch it for a long time.

"With it, we won't be afraid of being poisoned in the future. Ninety-nine percent of the poisons in the world, encountering it is like meeting the nemesis."

Bai Zhantang said excitedly.

He intended to compete with Li Xin during the day, but in fact it was mainly out of playfulness, and wanted to show off his professionalism in stealing saints.

In fact, he doesn't care, anyway, no matter who gets the baby, everyone can benefit.

"Haha, I hope so."

Li Xin smiled and took it back into space.

This caused Bai Zhantang to sigh: "Brother, you are a real master of tricks and tricks. With these two skills, why don't you study how to open the black iron door and directly take the fairy treasure!"

From Bai Zhantang's point of view, a key is needed to open the iron door, and key matching should be within the scope of the trick master.

However, Li Xin doesn't know tricks at all, and he doesn't know how to juggle.

He could only shake his head and said, "No matter how good the mechanism is, the door of the Immortal Treasure House cannot be opened."

"That's a pity..."

Bai Zhantang then changed the subject and chatted with Li Xin about something else.

Mainly, he still worries about the choice between Tong Xiangyu and Zhan Hongling.

Li Xin didn't want to get involved at first, but he couldn't spoil the night talk between brothers, so he just went along with it.

Occasionally, he would side with Tong Xiangyu and say good things. After all, he was not familiar with Zhan Hongling, but he already had friendship with Tong Xiangyu.

"Hey, I'm not at the inn these two days. Xiangyu must pretend to be strong during the day and shed tears at night. When I go back, I will wait for her to give in to me and apologize."

Bai Zhantang finally said happily, and then changed the subject, talking about the gathering place.

He is strong in martial arts and has a very good spirit. The more he talks, the more he can't hold back.

Li Xin didn't want to chat with him all night, so he reminded him that he was going to sleep, so he stopped talking.

……

On the second day, it was still a snowstorm.

In other words, it has continued since yesterday and has not been interrupted.

The time to return to Qixia Town had to be pushed back again.

Due to the bad weather, most people in the gathering place reduced their activities and basically shrank in tents.

However, there are always people who continue to work because they know martial arts and have better endurance than ordinary people.

For example, at least half of the people looking for the Vermilion Eyed Ice Toad braved the snowstorm to search in the area with many rocks.

Then there are people in the crypt who want to dig earth and chisel stones to bypass the black iron gate. The number of people in the crypt is not afraid of a snowstorm, but there are more people.

"What are you doing, so desperately, they don't know that the baby is gone, it's really pitiful."

Bai Zhantang slept late, and only got up from the bed near noon.

"I have some bacon jerky here, do you want it?"

Li Xin got up early, practicing internal strength with his legs crossed.

His "Yi Jin Bone Forging Chapter" does not require concentration, and can be practiced anytime, anywhere.

Therefore, when he calmed down, he chose to practice the "Shenzhaojing".

He eats jerky bacon for breakfast, which is dry food, and there are plenty of them in the space.

"Forget it, it's such a cold place, I still want to eat something warm, I'll take care of Lao Xing's business."

Bai Zhantang got out of the bed, shivered slightly, and immediately practiced exercises, the inner qi circulated in his body, and he became warmer.

He and Li Xin didn't even take off their coats when they slept. Everyone here is like this.

After he finished speaking, he went out on his own, to the tents of Xing Yusen and Genbao.

Li Xin continued to practice.

After a while, Bai Zhantang returned angrily.

"Fortunately, I still want to take care of Lao Xing's business, but he is lucky. He took advantage of the snowstorm and raised the price! A bowl of Poyangchun noodles, he charged me fifty cents! Why didn't he grab it!"

Before Li Xin could ask, he himself explained the reason for his anger.

"We can't blame him for this. Who knows how many days the blizzard will last. The longer the time, the more valuable the food will be. But it's a bit too much for him to charge you this price, Brother Bai."

Li Xin got up and got up, took out two large slices of dried bacon, and handed it to Bai Zhantang together with a cowhide water bag.

The latter started to eat after receiving it, and said as he ate, "I also forgive him for turning his face back then, why am I so stupid!"

"What's stupid? What did you do stupidly?"

Zhan Hongling happened to walk in.

"It's nothing, I just blame me for being too righteous."

Bai Zhantang shook his head and said in a funny tone.

Successfully made Zhan Hongling laugh.

She also followed the topic and said: "Speaking of being stupid, no one is stupid with iron hands. For a witch from the Five Poison Sect, he is braved the wind and snow to find Zhu Jingbingchan. Chasing life for the sake of brotherhood, and following Let's go together, two big fools."

After speaking, she looked at Li Xin.

She knew that Zhu Jingbingchan had already been captured by Li Xin, so she said that Tie Shou and the others were stupid, and they were doomed to work in vain.

"The witch of the Five Poisons Sect? Who is it? The four famous arresters are actually involved with the Five Poisons Sect?"

Because he had crossed paths with the Five Poison Sect when he was in Shuangqi Town, especially those big kites fighting in formations in the air, which left a deep impression on Bai Zhantang, so he became curious.

"It seems to be called Dugu Yiren, and it has some unclear relationship with Tie Shou. Tie Shou only said that Zhu Jing Bingchan was useful to her, but refused to tell me the specifics. Hmph, I wasn't very interested at all."

As Zhan Hongling said, she approached Bai Zhantang, took the cowhide water bag and took a sip without asking.

Indirect saliva, not avoiding suspicion at all, can be said to be intentional.

Li Xin didn't want to watch the intimate interaction between the two, so he walked out consciously.

……

For the next few days, there has been a snowstorm.

The price of the food in the meeting place became more and more expensive, and even the price of the accommodation was raised. The camp tents rented by Li Xin and Bai Zhantang also increased the price several times.

But it was still a small amount of money for Li Xin, so he just paid it.

From the third day onwards, I heard that some of those who went to look for Zhujing Bingchan didn't come back for two days, probably died outside.

Hearing this kind of news, Li Xin felt a little sympathetic at best, but it was impossible for him to expose himself for the sake of others, causing himself trouble or even danger.

He spent most of his time at the gathering place in the camp, practicing kung fu during the day, chatting with Bai Zhantang and playing chess for entertainment at night.

Bai Zhantang is haunted by Zhan Hongling, and he goes around other people's tents every day, which is very fresh and enjoyable.

Li Xin also took a day to visit all the tents with flags planted and doing business. Apart from receiving the seeds of two cold-region plants and sending them to the space for Qingwen and Qu Feiyan to study and plant, there was nothing else to gain.

By the afternoon of the sixth day, the snowstorm finally stopped.

The sun came out almost immediately, and the weather turned better, so Li Xin planned to return.

He had anticipated all kinds of possibilities, and estimated that it might take seven or eight days to go back, but he did not expect to guess quite accurately.

If he wants to leave, Bai Zhantang will also leave.

Zhan Hongling naturally followed suit.

Similar to the situation when they came, in order to hurry, Li Xin and Bai Zhantang both showed their lightness skills.

Zhan Hongling walked behind the latter's back.

Before dark, the three of them left the snow mountain and returned to Qixia Town after running for a while.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll find you tomorrow."

Zhan Hongling said goodbye to Bai Zhantang first.

She is in Qixia Town, and she has a temporary residence arranged by the yamen.

She was in a hurry to go back to take a shower, and there was no condition at the gathering place.

Bai Zhantang watched her leave without saying a word for a long time.

"What's the matter, Brother Bai, have you been together for a few days, are you going to choose her?"

Li Xinxin thought Tong Xiangyu was going to be a tragedy, it was a bit tragic.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhantang shook his head and said: "It is because of getting along for a few days that I understand my sincerity. I want to choose Xiangyu."

"Oh?"

Li Xin's eyes brightened, and he was pleasantly surprised by Tong Xiangyu.

"I won't stay with you today, I'll go back to the inn."

Bai Zhantang said again.

On the way, he had told Li Xin that he wanted to live with Li Xin.

Now he changed his tune.

Because he fully recognized his own intentions, his longing for Tong Xiangyu welled up in his heart.

"Haha, shopkeeper Tong will definitely be happy, but she might show you a face, Brother Bai, you have to be mentally prepared."

Li Xin also understood Tong Xiangyu.

"I don't see much of her face. I'm used to it. I'll coax her a few words to keep her attitude soft."

Bai Zhantang smiled.

As he said that, he couldn't wait, and took steps towards the East Street.

Seeing him like this, Li Xin also smiled and followed.

Not long after, the two came to the closed door of Tongfu Inn.

Bai Zhantang took a deep breath and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

It was Guo Furong's voice that came.

Apparently it was her vigil these days.

She is the only one who knows martial arts besides Bai Zhantang.

Mo Xiaobei is still at the basic stage of learning martial arts, so it doesn't count.

"I!"

Bai Zhantang replied.

"Wow, Lao Bai, you're back!"

Guo Furong heard that it was Bai Zhantang, opened the door quickly, and continued: "You don't know, these days the shopkeeper doesn't think about food and tea, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight. If you don't come back, I'm afraid she will be depressed. And it's over."

"What are you talking about! You just died in depression. As soon as I come back, I will take care of Xiangyu and she will run around alive tomorrow."

Bai Zhantang walked into the door of the inn.

Li Xin didn't follow, but turned around and walked home from the alley.
