Chapter 1153: Highwayman

"Come on, get in the car! I'm just in a hurry to go back, so I'll take you with me."

Hearing this, Lin Tian looked at the only old man who was willing to take them. He looked and dressed like a Tibetan, and he looked honest and simple.

Because the land of Tibetan is vast and sparsely populated, it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions and specialize in cheating outsiders. For example, for someone like Lin Tian, ​​who is obviously from another place and in a hurry, raising the price temporarily or afterwards is a small matter. The most feared thing is to encounter thieves who are out for money and life.

However, Lin Tian has both money and power, and he is not afraid of either of these two. Seeing that the old man is willing to give him a ride, Lin Tian pulled Li Muxue into the car without hesitation, and promised to pay several times the fare after arriving.

The old man was happy, and he whipped the horse whip, drove the carriage out of the town gradually, and walked to the mountain road leading to the town of Hatch.

The carriage that Lin Tian took was just a cart pulled by several horses, and a lot of items purchased by the old man were piled on the car.

Lin Tian chatted with the old man casually for a few words and learned that since their Haqi Town was located in a remote area near the snow-capped mountains, many items could only be purchased in nearby towns.

Most of the Tibetans in Haqi Town lived off the mountains. They hunted prey on weekdays, mostly furs, and saved them to sell at nearby markets to make a living.

Chatting along the way, the old man seemed quite enthusiastic. The folk customs in Tianzang were simple and sturdy, and most Tibetans were easy to deal with. Along the way, he kept introducing Tianzang and the sights of the snow-capped mountains to Lin Tian, ​​which gave Lin Tian a lot of knowledge.

Otherwise, why is it said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles? Lin Tian felt that just listening to the old man's chat was far more convincing than searching for information about this land on the Internet.

Later in the chat, Lin Tian suddenly remembered the cold reception he had received in the small town before, and casually asked the old man why those people stopped doing business with him when they heard that he was going to Haqi Town. He had not seen any negative news about Haqi Town on the Internet.

In fact, there is almost no information about this town on the Internet. Lin Tian noticed this place because of its geographical location.

Its location is very convenient for Lin Tian, ​​because the snow mountain is too big, and he has no idea where to find the snow lotus. It is naturally the best place to stay in a place like Hatchi, which is located at the foot of the snow mountain and almost in the center.

Who knew that the old man who had been talking to him very happily suddenly fell silent when he heard what Lin Tian said.

The old man made a perfunctory reply, trying to fool him.

The more he did this, the more Lin Tian felt that there was something strange about that place. Finally, unable to withstand Lin Tian's questioning, the old man sighed and uttered only two words-

Snow monster!

This statement made Lin Tian feel a little funny. Snow monsters are a product of folk legends, and people in many places around the world are talking about them.

Lin Tian didn't believe it before, but now, he has seen many creatures and monsters that are stranger than snow monsters, and the existence of snow monsters is really not a big deal to him.

Seeing that Lin Tian's expression did not change after he said it was because of the snow monster, the old man thought Lin Tian did not believe it, and emphasized several times that it was true. However, when Lin Tian asked him whether he had seen it, the old man was silent again.

But the old man then seemed to be talking to himself, saying that many people had seen how powerful the snow monster was, and if they had not held a ceremony on schedule, their entire town would have been destroyed long ago.

Lin Tian did not want to argue with him, so he smiled and said nothing.

But after the old man mentioned the ceremony, Lin Tian noticed that his expression suddenly became sad, as if he was forcibly suppressing his grief.

Although he was curious, it might be a private matter. He and he had just met not long ago, so Lin Tian was naturally embarrassed to ask.

Li Muxue sat next to Lin Tian on the cart. At first, she looked around quite naturally. She seemed very excited about the magnificent scenery in front of her, and kept looking at the scenery along the way with curiosity.

However, the good times did not last long. As they got closer and closer to the town, the snow-capped mountains became larger and larger, and the temperature dropped significantly.

With Lin Tian's strength in the Rongjing realm, he was naturally immune to cold and heat, and could regulate the temperature of his body by himself, but Li Muxue could not do that, at least Li Muxue, who was in a young mind, could not do that.

Lin Tian found that the current Li Muxue, with the transformation of two identities that seemed to be different personalities, was not only mentally, but also physically and physically different from the same person.

Lin Tian quickly took out the backpack he had asked Li Muxue to pack. He had told him to bring warm clothes, but when he opened it, he was stunned. He saw that it was filled with all kinds of snacks and even toys, but there was no clothes, not even underwear.

Lin Tian was amused and confused. Because he was not afraid of the cold, he did not bring any warm clothes. Fortunately, the old man happened to have a newly bought military coat in the car. After obtaining the other party's consent, Lin Tian put it on Li Muxue and wrapped her tightly.

Who knew that Li Muxue saw that she was the only one wrapped tightly, while Lin Tian was wearing thin clothes. Although Lin Tian said that he was not afraid of the cold, Li Muxue was unwilling to give in, fearing that Lin Tian would get cold!

In the end, they had no choice but to put on a military coat. Li Muxue snuggled tightly in Lin Tian's arms, and her little hands were not honestly stuffed into Lin Tian's clothes.

The carriage was bumpy on the mountain road, and Li Muxue was tightly attached to Lin Tian's body, shaking with the bumps, which made Lin Tian feel strange for a while.

Looking down at Li Muxue, who was holding him and looked innocent and naughty, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

From the first time he saw Li Muxue, Lin Tian was actually attracted by this woman who looked cold and aloof, and exuded a sense of competence from head to toe. However, it was only an attraction. At that time, the relationship between the two was like that of enemies, so Lin Tian had no other ideas.

After knowing Li Muxue's pitiful fate, he felt even more fond of her.

Lin Tian knew that judging from the attachment Li Muxue showed to him now, he could do anything he wanted to her, but no matter how lustful Lin Tian was, he couldn't do such a thing of taking advantage of others!

He just kept reminding himself in his heart that he must control himself and never get into "romantic debt" like Xia Yurou.

Soon, they were not far from the town, and the old man said that they would arrive in the town in more than ten minutes.

But at this moment, after turning a corner, there were several carriages blocking the way ahead. There was a checkpoint not far away, and someone was holding his hand there, as if collecting tolls.

Lin Tian thought it was a customary thing here and didn’t take it seriously, but when the old man saw it, he cursed with gritted teeth:

“******! These son-of-a-bitch robbers are getting more and more rampant!”

Robbers? !

Lin Tian stared at the figures holding sticks and narrowed his eyes.
