Zhao Dazhuang knew very well that if he wanted to smash the snowman's head, he would have to have a force of thousands of kilograms.
Even though he was quite confident in his strength, he couldn't throw such a heavy punch.
Seeing that Zhao Dazhuang was eager to test his strength, Li Xuan said with a bitter face: "It's such a cold weather, why don't we go back to warm up by the fire first? My hands are almost frozen."
The three of them worked together to drag the snowman's body back and get into the cracks in the rocks to warm themselves over the fire.
Li Yong said with a smile: "The snowman's fur is very valuable. It can be sold for at least two gold ingots."
"The village's luck has been really good recently. Are we going to have a bad luck?"
Zhao Dazhuang scratched his head and said.
Li Xuan chuckled and remained silent, but Zhao Dazhuang refused to let him go and insisted on grabbing his arm.
The bonfire gradually dimmed, and the firelight kept the warmth.
Zhao Dazhuang lost dozens of times and finally gave up and fell asleep.
He and Li Yong snored one after another, louder than the sound of the wind and snow outside.
Li Xuan secretly got out of the cracks in the stone, and the shadow spiritual power spread all over his body, and he began to practice non-stop every day.
Not long after, in the snowy sky, a purple arrow of light roared into the sky, like a swaying meteor.
The herb collection team of Vanilla Village worked hard for five days and finally collected a thousand blue star grass plants on the snow-capped mountains more than 4,000 meters above sea level.
Although everyone's face was full of exhaustion, and some had frostbite on their hands and feet, the beautiful prospects made them burst into rare smiles, which were even brighter than the sunshine shining over the snow-capped mountains.
"The village is about to have a good life."
Zhao Dazhuang sealed the last medicine basket and said excitedly.
A burst of cheers erupted from the herb collection team, and everyone seemed to see those golden gold ingots flying into their pockets with wings.
"Okay, let's go back to the village. We have to process it according to Mr. Lu Hong's requirements and send it to the Xue family manor."
Huang Feng asked everyone to calm down.
The journey back was very relaxing and pleasant. Everyone was humming songs all the way and soon returned to the village.
Huang Feng took Li Yong and several other disciples to process day and night, and finally finished processing all the Blue Star Grass before the deadline.
The morning light in the east was dim, and Huang Feng directed Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang to put the blue star grass into the medicine basket and prepare to go to Xue Family Manor for delivery.
"Village Chief, you have been busy for several days, so you should take a rest.
Just me and Li Yong can send it off."
Zhao Dazhuang saw Huang Feng's eyes were bloodshot and hurriedly stopped him.
Li Yong also said: "Teacher, you should rest.
Let me go with Da Zhuang."
"That's fine."
Huang Feng was indeed a little tired, but felt relieved about his two disciples.
Huang Feng went to rest, and Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang took five able-bodied villagers down the mountain road and headed straight for the Xue family manor.
Arriving at the Xue family manor, Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang handed the blue star grass to Lu Hong.
The barbarian craftsman was very satisfied with the quality of the blue star grass. After checking the quality of the medicinal herbs, he said happily: "The quality of these blue star grass is beyond my expectation. Thank you very much."
He took out two heavy money bags and handed them to Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang: "This is your reward, fifty gold ingots, each one is not a lot."
Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang opened the money bag, and their eyes were almost dazzled by the light of the gold ingots. Their fingers ran across the gold ingots, feeling the exquisitely carved lines, and they did not dare to take a breath.
"Mr. Lu Hong, if you need blue star grass next time, you can come to us again."
After counting the gold ingots, Li Yong tried his best to calm down and said to Lu Hong.
"Most definitely."
Lu Hong said with a smile, "I will come again when these blue star grasses are used up."
After thanking Lu Hong, Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang walked out of the manor and met Xue Qiang head-on.
"Hey, I heard the sound of gold ingots colliding even though I was far away."
Xue Qiang wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but he could not hide the greedy look in his eyes.
Li Yong reluctantly took out a money bag and counted ten gold ingots from another money bag. Under Xue Qiang's greedy gaze, he handed thirty gold ingots to him.
Xue Qiang shook the money bag, listened to the crisp sound of gold ingots colliding in it, and said with a smile: "I hope we still have a chance to cooperate."
Looking at his back as he walked away, Zhao Dazhuang spat and said, "This bastard earned a kickback of ten gold ingots without doing anything. He is simply a vampire."
Li Yong grabbed Zhao Dazhuang and said, "Hey, don't talk about this. Let's go back to the village quickly. The village chief must be waiting impatiently."
The two left the manor and met up with five villagers. They left the town happily and prepared to return to the village to report the good news.
They didn't realize that there were several suspicious people quietly following behind them.
Walking on the mountain road, Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang walked briskly. Although they were physically tired, their mental excitement made them not feel tired at all.
"I said, Lao Li, what are you going to do after you get the money?"
Zhao Dazhuang asked.
Li Yong touched his nose: "First buy some alchemy furnaces for the teacher, and then buy some new clothes for Ali and Li Xuan. If there are any left, buy some books for Li Xuan.
If you want to be successful, you still need to study more."
"You didn't think about buying anything for yourself?"
Zhao Dazhuang muttered.
"I?
As long as I have food and drink, I don’t lack anything.”
Li Yong smiled brightly and looked happy.
"Old men who get married and have children are really boring."
Zhao Dazhuang sighed. He was a bachelor and had enough food for the whole family. Naturally, he didn't have as much concern as Li Yong.
Several other villagers were also talking loudly about how to spend the money. While everyone was excited, Li Yong suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Dazhuang asked suspiciously when he saw Li Yong's expression was wrong.
"Look..." Li Yong pointed forward.
A man suddenly appeared on the mountain road ahead. He stood carelessly in the middle of the road, blocking the already narrow mountain road tightly.
This man was dressed very strangely, wearing a black robe and a tall hat. This outfit seemed a bit out of place on the mountain road.
His skin was as pale as paper, and his eyelids were drooped. He seemed to be sleeping, but looking at his posture, he seemed to be deliberately blocking the road here.
"Hey, you're blocking the road, please give way."
Zhao Dazhuang narrowed his eyes, put his palm on his waist knife, walked forward and said.
The man didn't move at all, and didn't seem to hear Zhao Dazhuang's words.
Zhao Dazhuang raised his voice and said it again, but the man still didn't react.
"Hey..." Zhao Dazhuang stretched out his hand to push him away.
"careful!"
Li Yong suddenly saw a flash of light and immediately shouted a warning.
Zhao Dazhuang was startled and retracted his hand, but it was a beat too slow.
His elbow felt cold, severe pain surged in like a wave, blood spurted out, and the half-cut arm fell to the ground with a bang.
"ah!"
Zhao Dazhuang screamed and took two steps back while covering the wound on his arm.
He was seriously injured without even seeing how the other party took action.
