immediately perked up and thought her eldest daughter-in-law had a brilliant idea."Yes, one bucket of water costs two copper coins. You have to pay to get the water."A woman in the village finally cou...Fang Jinshi followed closely behind, and upon seeing the vast expanse of white snow, her eyes were nearly blinded.

"Is it snowing"

"Yeah, we'd better get going soon. The snow is still coming down, and if we wait too long, it'll be harder to find our way out."

Fang Jinxiu rarely saw Zong Yu wearing such a serious expression. Without a word, she took out several thick cotton coats from the space. Besides Zong Yu, they all put them on.

From head to toe, fully armored, with thick layers of fur wrapped around their legs.

"This grove of trees ahead isn't easy to get out of. Follow me closely, and don't lose sight of each other."

Zong Yu's expression was so grave that Fang Jinxiu also became nervous.

Ayu is not someone who likes to make sensational claims. If he's confident about something, he won't repeatedly remind people about it.

He had already reminded them twice that the road here was difficult.

Fang Jinshi frowned tightly. This stretch of forest was even difficult for A Yu to navigate, so it was unlikely they would be able to descend smoothly today.

She made the worst preparations in her mind, supported by Yu Lian and followed the pace of Zong Yu. Zong Bai walked at the end to protect the two of them.

"Big brother, the snow in the forest is so thick this year. Should we not have a drought next year"

Zong Bai didn't sense any danger at all. Looking at the pristine white snow, he was quite happy.

"Melt this snow at home, and it's just water!"

Fang Jinshi reminded him, "This snow water can't be drunk. Drinking it will only make you sick."

Zong Bai was taken aback and showed a hint of disappointment on his face, "It can't be used, what a pity."

"By the way, big brother, I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Remember that map of Daxia's borderlands I saw at Mr. Qin's place Didn't we have a place in Xizhou that borders it too"

"Once you cross the border, you're in Wumeng Country."

Jade Lotus held her breath and asked without turning back, "Second Brother, why did you suddenly bring this up"

Zong Yu and Fang Jinshu had already anticipated that Zong Bai wouldn't bring up the border map for no reason.

Could this wild mountain be connected to the Wumeng Kingdom

"Oh, these past few days I've been studying the terrain features brought back by my elder brother from his hunting trips, and I've deduced that our current location is very likely on the border connecting to the Wu Meng Kingdom."

Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be far.

"If we start from the mountains on the east side and keep walking west, through this forest and over two more mountain peaks, we should reach the border of the Wumeng Kingdom."

"This wild mountain connects not only to our village, it's too big, connecting to many places."

Yulian scoffed, "Second brother, don't boast. Just from Big Brother's few simple words and a map you probably don't even remember fully, you think you can deduce the location of Wumeng"

"Whoever brags is the little dog."

"Even Mr. Qin praised me for having a good memory and being exceptionally intelligent. I feel confident that I haven't gotten this wrong."

Wu Meng Country

Fang Jinxiu looked up and asked Zongyu, "Have you heard"as passed away Let the past grievances just blow away with the wind.Zong Hu caught up to Fang Jinxiu and brought her to the place where they had met Li Muhai."Ayu separated from me here and went in th...
