To be cautious, they did not tell Xu Laogen that the destination was Heihuling from the beginning, but said that Erdaoling, the most common visitor visits, was only three hills away from Heihuling. It would not be too late to make a request when they arrived at that place, and at worst they would increase their rewards to Xu Laogen.

At nine o'clock that morning, when the snow was sunny, everyone was ready to go on the road. Unlike Luo Lie and his party rode up the mountain, Xu Laogen's transportation was a common sled in Manchuria. The sled was made of wooden, nearly one meter wide and about one meter three long. There was a rectangular ladder-shaped wooden frame on the top and bottom. The four corners of the wooden frame were connected by four columns. The front of the ladder-shaped wooden frame at the bottom was longer than the top, and its head was slightly raised, and it was shaped like a knife. This was to prevent the sled from turning somersaults in front.

Xu Laogen's sled was dragged by two strong yellow dogs. The dog is a common native dog in mountain villages. Although it is not a precious dog breed, it can be strong and endure hardships.

When An Datou saw his companion, he stretched out his tender red tongue and threw away his four short legs and ran towards the big dog. Before he could approach, the two big yellow dogs roared. An Datou turned around and slid into the blind man's feet. The blind man hugged the puppy in his arms with full of pity, staring at the two big dogs fiercely and said, "Damn it, bully my baby, believe it or not, I will eat you?"

When beating a dog, you need to see the owner. Xu Laogen was tying something on the sled. When he heard the blind man's words, he looked at the blind man without showing any weakness, with a cold and unyielding look.

The blind man could not see the details of the other person's expression under the strong light, but all this did not escape Luo Lie's eyes. Luo Lie couldn't help but be stunned. From his eyes, Xu Laogen was a cruel horn.

Xu Laogen packed his luggage, sat on the sled, and shouted: "Dear uncles, please follow me, let's go into the mountain while the weather is sunny!" At this point, Lun rounded the whip in his hand and whipped a whip in the air, like a firecracker explosion, crisp and pleasant, and the sound of the whip echoed in the snowy night for a long time. Two big yellow dogs spread their four hooves and ran towards the sun.

The blind man cut disdainfully and said, "I don't believe it anymore. His eight short legs can run past the four long legs of my jujube!" The blind man likes to nickname and has already named his mount Dajujube. Arnold's red horse was called Xiaojujube by him, and even Arnold was nicknamed golden retriever by him. Changfa was not spared. The blind man called him a dull man behind the scenes. The reason why the sparrow was spared was that her real name was like a nickname. The blind man really couldn't bear to nickname the sparrow. Canary and larks seemed nobler than sparrows. In fact, the blind man wanted to call her a thief from her hometown, but in the end he gave up this idea. He knew that sparrows were not easy to mess with, and he suffered under her for the first time.

The blind man rode his horse and whipped his whip and followed the dog pulled the sled. He could still keep up at the beginning, but after running for a while, Dazao was obviously tired and his pace slowed down significantly. No matter how the blind man shouted, An Datou kept barking and cheering, but still slowed down.

Sparrow and Changfa were the first to surpass the blind man, and then Arnold rode the little date and passed.

Luo Lie, who was used to leading the way in front, slowed down today and chose to move forward with the blind man. The blind man took out his sunglasses and put them on because he couldn't stand the strong light. While panting, Bai Qi said, "Luo Lie, I really don't understand. Why can't these long legs run through the short legs?"

Luo Lie laughed: "The ruler has its strengths, and the inch has its weaknesses. The environment is different, and their ability is naturally different. The horses on the snow cannot play their strengths. When they go up the mountain, they will probably slow down."

His words were soon fulfilled. After entering the mountains, the mountains gradually became steeper, and everyone had to choose to go down and walk.

Luo Lie rushed to Xu Laogen with his horse and smiled and said, "Brother Xu, how far are we from Erdaoling?"

Xu Laogen narrowed his eyes, looked up at the sun in the gap between the leaves, and whispered: "It's early, it's just the beginning. If some goes well, you can reach Erdaoling at noon the day after tomorrow."

The sparrow said behind him, "Didn't that mean we have to spend the night in the mountains for two consecutive nights?"

Xu Laogen nodded and said, "Climb the two mountains in front and you will reach Huangkou. There is a abandoned forest farm with several wooden houses inside, which can be kept overnight."

The sparrow has remembered the marked places on the map very clearly. The place name of Huangkouzi was not mentioned above. It seems that relying on the map alone is not enough. The place Huangkouzi was not mentioned in the notes and maps left by his father. Their exploration should have been another road. Chang Fa came to the sparrow silently, reached out his hand, took the reins, and tried to reduce the burden on the sparrow.

The group of people climbed over the snow-covered mountains under Xu Laogen's leadership. The first day's itinerary was quite smooth and they arrived at the reservation at 5 pm.

Huangkouzi used to be a forest farm. It once flourished during the Guangxu period, but everything has the principle that it will decline after extremes. As the discharged Qinglong Creek dried up, the forest farm became inconvenient to transport. Now Huangkouzi has been completely abandoned. The huge forest farm is empty, with only more than a dozen wooden houses left standing in the wilderness, enduring the torture of wind and snow, and remembering the changes of time.

Xu Laogen was very familiar with the situation here and pointed to the wooden houses and said, "I have lived here in June. You can choose a clean room to stay in. Each wooden house has a fire barn to keep warm at night, but everyone should be careful. If you accidentally burn the house, it will be a big trouble."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xu!"

Xu Laogen squeezed out a rare smile, then picked up his luggage from the sled and walked into a wooden house in the southeast corner. The wooden house was the highest among more than a dozen wooden houses, which could almost see the situation of the forest farm accommodation area.

Luo Lie asked An Zhai and Arnau to inspect each wooden house one by one, and he and Chang Fa went around the forest farm to inspect. There were no traces of humans and animals except their footprints. When they returned to their place, they found that Xu Laogen had already set up a bonfire in the middle of the open position, and the wood in the forest farm was inexhaustible. Luo Lie felt something was wrong in his heart. It was too easy to expose the target when setting up a bonfire here, but he thought about it that there were naturally open areas in the forest farm, and there was no one around, so there should be no surprises. Xu Laogen knew much more about the situation in the mountains than them. Since he did this, there should be no problem.

Xu Laogen used two logs to support each other and made two brackets. A log was hanging on the middle horizontally. The iron pot was hung on the log with iron wire. A simple hanging pot was completed. They brought a lot of dry food from Tianfu Inn. The dishes were frozen and hard and could be stored for many days and will not deteriorate. Now they need to do it simply heat it up.

Everyone was hungry for a day and smelled the aroma of the food. The blind man's saliva was almost flowing out, and he swallowed, "It's really fragrant, which has caught the greed in my stomach."

Xu Laogen's reaction was extremely cold: "It's still the smell of dog meat. Do you want to eat dog meat?"

The blind man looked at the two big yellow dogs curled up beside the fire to keep warm. He immediately understood that Xu Laogen was still resenting what he said when he set off, and laughed and said, "I don't eat dog meat, I'm just kidding."

"I'll eat!" Xu Laogen sneered, and served a bowl of heated food, and took the rice to his wooden house.

The blind man stared at Xu Laogen's back and couldn't help but spit out, "I'm just a leader, why are you awesome?"

Luo Lie said: "Everyone hurry up and have a break." Although Xu Laogen was invited as a guide, Changfa was always very careful about food. He always threw some of it first for An Datou to eat it first whenever he ate. The blind man was very opposed to Changfa's behavior. His love for An Datou came from his sincerity and would rather try it first. However, they had strict dietary control, and the food they brought was separated from Xu Laogen, and the other party had no chance to get in touch with it.

Arnold was not happy without wine, so he took out the wine pot and took a sip and handed it to Luo Lie. Luo Lie shook his head, the blind man took it over and took a few sips. In the past two days, he and Arnold had a good relationship.

Luo Lie noticed that the two big yellow dogs curled up by the bonfire and roasted the fire, followed Xu Laogen. The sparrow came to him and whispered: "Xu Laogen has such a big temper!"

Luo Lie said: "Everyone has a temper, everyone hurry up and have a meal, Arnold! Blind, you drink less, it's still worth the night." After entering the mountainous area, you enter the activity range of bandits from all sides, be sure to be careful.

The blind man cried out, "Where will anyone come from the wilderness? It's a big deal!" Arnold nodded as well.

Chang Fa said: "Mr. Luo, I'll come tonight!"

Luo Lie said: "It's better to take the turn. You will be in the middle of the night and I will be in the middle of the night for you."
