"No, I think the sun is very nice. It doesn't look like there's going to be a snowstorm."
Ye Jintang still wanted to argue, but Jiang Zhi had already started picking snow jade mushrooms.
Le Chuanye on the side quickly stepped forward to help Ye Jintang get the basket on his back.
Everyone had already taken action, but Ye Jintang was a bit pretentious in declining.
She had no choice but to continue picking snow jade mushrooms.
Ye Jintang, who had just picked a snow jade mushroom, turned to Jiang Zhi with the mushroom in hand. She wanted to tell him that the umbrella cover was not open.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Jiang Zhi pinching the snow jade mushroom with two fingers and bursting it.
He was obviously taken aback, probably madly complaining in his heart that the Snow Jade Mushroom was too fragile.
So Jiang Zhi went to pick the second one. He obviously moved his hands lightly, for fear of crushing the snow jade mushroom again.
Fortunately, this time he controlled his hand just right, and he carefully held a complete snow jade mushroom in his hand.
Seeing Jiang Zhi like this, Ye Jintang couldn't help laughing.
"Master Jiang, the snow jade mushroom in your hand is too old. We need this kind without opening the lid."
Ye Jintang opened her palms to let Jiang Zhi see what the snow jade mushroom in her hand looked like.
"You made Miss Six laugh. I'm a rough guy. I'm used to holding guns and knives. I'm a little uncomfortable suddenly holding such a weak snow jade mushroom. But I'll be careful not to crush it later."
Jiang Zhi admitted his mistake generously and picked up the small snow jade mushroom from Ye Jintang's hand.
The snow jade mushroom was only the size of a finger. When Jiang Zhi went to pick it up, his finger touched Ye Jintang's palm.
Ye Jintang withdrew his hand with a swish, and was very surprised that Jiang Zhi's fingers were actually warm on such a cold day. Her hands had long been cold from the cold.
Ye Jintang, who was inexplicably embarrassed, quickly turned around.
When she got excited, she pinched the snow jade mushrooms she had just picked.
When picking snow jade mushrooms, you need to pay attention to your hand strength, as everyone picks them slowly.
Time passed unknowingly, and Ye Jintang was busy picking snow jade mushrooms. When he looked up, he saw that the sky was clear just now. Dark clouds were coming to the west, and he saw that large dark clouds were about to drift over.
"Master Jiang, it's really cloudy."
"Well, that's it for today. If Miss Ye needs snow jade mushrooms next time, you can tell me and I'll find someone to pick them for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Ye Jintang also knows how dangerous it is to encounter a snowstorm in the mountains.
She and Liuli packed their backpacks and prepared to go down the mountain.
"Master Jiang, do you want to come down the mountain with us?"
Ye Jintang barely thought about what he said, and it was completely polite.
"That's fine, I wouldn't worry about you two girls going down the mountain alone."
With that said, Jiang Zhi directly took the backpack from Ye Jintang's hand and carried it on his body.
"Master Jiang, the backpack is not heavy, I can do it myself."
"It doesn't matter. How much strength can a little girl like you have? As long as you can go down the mountain safely without slipping, you'll be fine. Let me get the backpack."
Having said that, it was inappropriate for Jiang Zhi, a third-level official, to help her carry her backpack.
Not only Ye Jintang felt something was wrong, but even Liuli and Lechuan felt something was wrong.
Jiang Zhina was the censor of the left deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He had the nickname Living King of Hell. When he was the censor of Zuo Qiandu, he was quite famous in the capital. No ordinary official in the capital dared to provoke him.
Today, the living hell king helped Ye Jintang pick snow jade mushrooms and carry baskets. This was very inconsistent with his status.
However, they only dared to complain in their hearts, no one dared to say it in front of Jiang Zhi.
"What a pity for the snow jade mushrooms on this hillside."
Ye Jintang looked back at the hillside and saw that there were still a lot of snow jade mushrooms that had not been collected, which was a pity.
"After the heavy snow passes and the weather is good, the snow jade mushrooms will grow here again. It will be great if Miss Six comes back then."
"That's what Mr. Jiang said."
Ye Jintang responded perfunctorily, but she was muttering in her heart that a large area had grown in her space, and she was not stupid enough to come back to the mountains to suffer the cold.
The wind in the mountains is constantly changing, and when a few people came down the hillside, the wind started to blow.
Not long after walking, large dark clouds followed the strong wind and reached above their heads. The sky gradually darkened and the mountain wind became stronger and stronger. Ye Jintang could no longer wear the hat on his cloak.
"Master Jiang, I have found you."
I don’t know when Shi Bin ran over from the nearby woods with a few people.
"There's going to be a heavy snowstorm soon. I'll send the two girls down the mountain. We'll contact you later."
"With such a strong wind, I'm afraid you won't be able to go down the mountain today. Why not go to the hunter's hut on the mountain to escape the wind and snow."
Shi Bin's idea was still a good one, but for Ye Jintang and Liuli, it was not so good.
How could these two girls be crowded into a hut with a group of stinky men? If word spread about this, their reputations would be ruined.
"Thank you Mr. Shi for your kindness. Let's walk faster. We should be able to return to White Horse Temple before the blizzard comes."
It was just cloudy and windy at the moment, so although we walked slower, it was not a big problem.
"Okay, Shi Bin, you go back first, and I'll take the two girls down the mountain."
Bin naturally couldn't say much when Jiang Zhi spoke, but he was afraid that they would encounter a snowstorm on the way, so he gave some instructions to his subordinates and escorted Ye Jintang and Liuli down the mountain with Jiang Zhi.
There is already a lot of snow on the mountain, and it will be blown up by the biting north wind. Even if it doesn't snow, there will be snowflakes all over the sky.
This scene seemed so familiar to Liuli. Her memory suddenly returned to the scene when she was a child and encountered a snowstorm in the mountains with her parents.
Almost instantly, Liuli was surrounded by sadness, and she was in a trance.
As she walked, she quietly wiped away her tears.
Perhaps because she was too sad, Liuli didn't pay attention to her steps. When she stepped on a piece of snow, she felt her body's center of gravity shift and she fell towards the thick snow.
Lechuan on the side subconsciously pulled Liuli, but he didn't expect that the place where Liuli fell was actually a snow nest. It looked like the snow was thick on it, but actually one side was empty.
"Liu Li."
Ye Jintang felt extremely nervous when he saw Liuli rolling down the hillside through the thick snow.
She wanted to go down to find Liuli, but Jiang Zhi grabbed her. Shi Bin quickly said, "I'll go down and take a look. Everyone wears thick clothes in winter, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Then I'll wait for you here."
"No, let's go down the mountain first. When Shi Bin finds someone, he will also go in the direction of White Horse Temple."
"If there is a heavy snowstorm when we go down the mountain, I will bring more people to pick up Shi Bin."
"Don't worry, Miss Six, Lechuan will roll down the hillside with Miss Liuli. Lechuan has some skills. He will definitely find a way to save Liuli."
Jiang Zhi arranged everything clearly. He put Ye Jintang's safety first and put other things at the back.
Ye Jintang looked at the dense mountain forest and saw that Liuli and Lechuan were no longer around. He gritted his teeth and could only follow Jiang Zhi first.
With her small body, even if she went to Liuli now, she wouldn't be able to save anyone, and would most likely only be able to cause trouble.
