The wife of two taels of silver

Chapter 105 Distress

The Qinglong Mountains are located in Wei'an City, far away from Zhanglin County. It takes two days of riding to get there.

There are mountains in Wei'an City, and the mountains are winding. There is an ancient legend that a green dragon once fell here. Later, the green dragon died and its body turned into mountains, so it was named Qinglong Mountains.

There is a dragon god in Qinglong Mountain, who protects Wei'an City and brings peace for generations.

Lin Haitang didn't know whether the rumor was true or not. After the incident with the Snow-Cold Flower, Lin Haitang believed that even if the Azure Dragon God didn't have a Dragon God, he would still have other gods to protect him. Otherwise, why were all the Snow-Cold Flowers in the Kang Dynasty destroyed, and only the Snow-Cold Flowers on Azure Dragon Mountain remained?

After having a hot meal in the space, Lin Haitang and Gu An embarked on their next journey without stopping.

The search for the snow-cold flower was urgent, and Lin Haitang and Gu An did not want to delay for a moment, but they could not resist everyone's persuasion. After finishing their meal in a flash, Lin Haitang immediately pulled Gu An out of the space.

The two people were riding on horseback, full of vigor and enthusiasm, and they wished they could fly to Qinglong Mountain in an instant. However, they never expected that they would encounter many obstacles before reaching Qinglong Mountain.

Febrile diseases broke out in many places in the Kang Dynasty. The areas where febrile diseases were reported were blocked and outsiders were not allowed to enter at will. Therefore, Lin Haitang and Gu An had to change routes frequently and take a long detour.

By the time the two arrived in Wei'an City, it was already five days later.

It is also true that Wei'an City is blessed by the Dragon God. No one in Wei'an City is infected with febrile diseases. The city is a scene of political stability and social harmony. There are many street vendors and people shopping in an endless stream, of all ages.

Fortunately, there were no restrictions on entry into Wei'an City, so Lin Haitang and Gu An entered the city smoothly.

No matter how beautiful the scenery was or how lively the atmosphere was, the two of them had no interest in viewing it and just headed towards Qinglong Mountain.

Arriving at the foot of the Qinglong Mountains, Lin Haitang breathed a sigh of relief.

It is a sunny day today and it has not snowed in the past few days. At this time, the snow on the roadside and on the branches has melted a little. Some branches are completely exposed, with the dark and rough bark basking in the sun, and some are still dripping with snow water.

Gu An's eyes were basically on Lin Haitang. He immediately noticed that her cloak was a little crooked, probably because she rode too fast just now. Gu An reached out to help her straighten it, staring at Lin Haitang's delicate face.

Lin Haitang lowered her eyes and smiled. She grasped Gu An's fingers, then raised her eyes and said softly, "After everything is settled, let's go to Hua'an County to submit the marriage certificate again. Are you still willing to be my husband?"

Gu An lowered his eyes and looked at him, showing no sign of anger. His fingers felt the warmth of Lin Haitang's palm, and the fingertips of his other hand were buried under the fur collar of the cloak. Even through the thick cloak, Gu An could still feel the warmth of Lin Haitang's neck.

The woman in front of him had eyebrows as black as distant ink and fair skin, every detail of which made him extremely happy. He slowly lowered his head, pressed his cold lips against her forehead, and said in a hoarse and trembling voice, "I do."

Lin Haitang felt a chill between her eyebrows. She smiled very gently. After Gu An said those three words, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips. The water in her eyes was a little shimmering, but it did not diminish her beauty at all. She smiled and said, "Let's go find Xuehanhua."

The two smiled at each other, then held hands and walked into the Qinglong Mountains.

Almost no one has ever entered the Qinglong Mountains. The people of Wei'an City firmly believe that there is a dragon god in the mountains and that entering the mountains will disturb the dragon god's peace. Therefore, even when offering sacrifices to the god, they only do so at the foot of the mountain and never go deep into the mountains.

There are thick tree roots and numerous dead branches underfoot. What's even more troublesome is that you don't know where to step and you'll step into a pit. Most of those pits are not deep, only up to the knees, but people keep falling there, making every step difficult for those entering the mountains.

Lin Haitang and Gu An took every step forward carefully. Later, they picked up two sticks of even size from the ground, and used them to explore the way first, making sure that the ground was solid before taking the next step.

Fortunately, it was winter and all the leaves on the trees had fallen, allowing more sunlight to shine in, so that Lin Haitang and Gu An would not be blinded.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Haitang and Gu An were already sweating profusely, with sweat even running down Lin Haitang's face.

At this time, the two people did not know that danger was approaching.

Lin Haitang wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve. She took out her water bag and drank a sip of water. She gasped and said, "This mountain is too high, isn't it? My legs are almost broken."

It was about to get dark, and Lin Haitang relied entirely on her perseverance to move forward, her legs moving forward mechanically.

After drinking, Lin Haitang pushed the water bag in front of Gu An, shook the water bag in her hand, and signaled him to take two sips.

The water in the water bag was naturally spiritual spring water. For safety reasons, Lin Haitang and Gu An each took out a pill before leaving for Wei'an City.

Gu An's breathing was also a little rapid. He took the water bag, drank two sips, and wiped the water droplets on his lips with his fingers. Suddenly, he stopped and stared at the left front like a radar.

Gu An's expression became serious and solemn. Lin Haitang's heart sank. She stood still and looked in the direction Gu An was looking, but she didn't find anything.

After a three-second pause, Lin Haitang asked softly, "What's wrong?" Her voice was as quiet as a mosquito.

Gu An replied softly: "There is something."

The two people stood still, and after a moment, Lin Haitang heard a slight rustling sound.

Gu An stood silently in front of Lin Haitang, holding Lin Haitang's hand tightly with his right hand, frowning slightly, and looking straight ahead.

The broad shoulders blocked Lin Haitang's view. Lin Haitang let Gu An arrange it and stood still obediently.

The rustling sound became louder and louder, as if something was walking along the ground, and its belly was rubbing against the dead branches and leaves on the ground.

Lin Haitang also frowned. The sound was too much like a snake, but snakes were hibernating at this time.

Lin Haitang tilted his body slightly and looked ahead, wanting to see what it was.

Soon, the thing crawled in front of the two people. It was indeed a snake.

It was a python, with a body as thick as a bowl, a triangular head, a pitch-black body, and blood-red eyes that seemed to emit bursts of red light, which made people shudder.

The python shook its head, stood up about one meter tall, and dragged its body about three or four meters behind it.

The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and then it spit out its bright red tongue and fiercely bit towards Gu An.

The python opened its bloody mouth, which was also pitch black. At the same time, its tail swung towards the two of them fiercely.
