After listening to the snow girl's words, I couldn't help but frown.
The snow girl is very strong, we are not sure of victory, and with her backing the snowy mountains, she can mobilize the power of the entire snowy mountains for her own use.
If we force our way in, we will only end up with a lose-lose outcome.
The current plan may be to agree to her conditions in order to successfully pass the stone staircase.
"How do you plan to test it?"
Taking a deep breath, I had made a decision in my mind and asked the snow girl.
"It's simple,"
The snow girl said, stretched out her hand, and a void door appeared in mid-air.
"I need you to elect a representative to enter this gate. As long as you pass the test inside, I will let you pass. How about that?"
I looked up and saw the Void Gate floating in mid-air, looming.
There was a gap in the door, and it was dark inside. I didn't know what kind of terrifying monster was hiding in it.
"Mr. Cheng, this witch is full of tricks, don't agree to her easily!"
Behind me, Liao Xianer shouted to me worriedly.
"That's right, Brother Cheng. At worst, you just wait in front of me and let me break in."
Bai Ze said, already wiping his sleeves and walking towards the door.
"etc,"
I directly reached out and grabbed him: "Brother Bai, let me do it."
"If I don't come out within twenty minutes, you don't have to worry about anything else and just rush over."
I looked at the snow girl and said in a deep voice.
The snow girl naturally heard the threat in my tone, but she just smiled coldly and didn't care.
Bai Ze knew my temper, so he didn't insist. He nodded and stepped back.
"Don't worry, Brother Cheng, if you haven't come out when the time is up, we will rush in to rescue you!"
"Xiao Chengzi, you must be careful."
Lonnie also came over and said with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry Ni, I will come back safely."
I smiled faintly at Lonnie, then glanced at the snow girl, then jumped directly into the void door!
After shaking a few times, I stood firm and looked around, only to see a deep tunnel in front of me, leading to unknown depths.
On both sides of the tunnel, there were countless whirlpools spinning endlessly, opening a dark entrance to me.
I felt like I was in the deep sea, surrounded by a group of terrifying monsters, about to be completely swallowed.
Does the test that the snow girl talks about require me to choose an entrance to enter?
While I was thinking about it, I saw one of the vortices rotating faster and faster, and the hole expanded rapidly, and soon merged with other vortices to form a super large black hole.
The black hole filled through the tunnel and enveloped me. Before I could realize what was happening, my vision fell into complete darkness.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes again, my eyes were suddenly bright.
The whirlpool just now has disappeared, and what appears in front of me is continuous green mountains, green water, and farmhouses.
I looked down and found that I was wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying a hoe on my shoulder, standing in a green wheat field doing farm work.
This place... was so familiar. I slapped my forehead and suddenly realized, isn't this my hometown?
After going round and round, why did I get back to my hometown?
By the way, how did I get in just now? Recalling the reason why I came here, I felt a splitting headache, and I couldn't remember the reason why I came here.
"Xiao Chengzi, it's time to go home for dinner!"
Just as I was trying to think about how I got here, a figure suddenly appeared in the fields in the distance.
I took a closer look and saw Lonnie wearing a patched plaid shirt, wide-mouthed trousers, and a headscarf on her head, properly dressed as a peasant woman.
On her left hand side, there was also a little girl of about five or six years old with a whip in the sky.
"Ni, this child is..."
I walked over with a confused look on my face, pointed at the little boy and asked Lonnie.
"Xiao Chengzi, are you working stupidly? This is our daughter!"
Lonnie stretched out an embroidered finger, touched my forehead, and said angrily.
"Dad, I'm hungry, I want to go home for dinner!"
The little girl also pulled my sleeves and said in a coquettish voice.
"Okay, my parents are still waiting at home, so hurry up."
I wanted to ask more questions, but Lonnie couldn't help but pull me out of the field and towards a farmhouse in the distance.
Along the way, I stared at the familiar streets around me in a daze, as if in a dream, not knowing whether all this was real or illusory.
Walking into the familiar courtyard, I saw a dining table in the middle of the courtyard. My father was sitting there smoking a cigarette, while my mother was constantly bringing out meals from the kitchen.
"Dad, Mom!"
I had not been back to my hometown for a long time. When I saw my parents, I was so excited that I almost shed tears.
"What's wrong with this child? We haven't seen each other all morning. Why is he still crying when he sees us?"
The father said with a puzzled look on his face: "People who don't know saw it and thought it was the old couple who were gone."
"Go, stop talking nonsense!"
The mother put the last dish on the dining table and said with a smile: "Our Cheng Yi family is sentimental. It's not like you don't know what to make a fuss about!"
While talking, Lonnie had already pulled me to sit on the dining table. Looking at the familiar dishes on the table, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.
"Cheng Yi, come on, let us have a drink!"
My father turned around and went into the house, took out a bottle of white wine and poured me a full glass.
The father and son were changing cups, Lonnie was serving me dishes, and the little daughter was nestled in her mother's arms, craving for meat.
Looking around, there is smoke from the cooking pots outside, and every household is cooking. Everything in the familiar village looks so warm.
Although the courtyard is still simple, I feel an inexplicable sense of peace.
The whole family eats together neatly. Isn't this the scene I have been dreaming about?
After dinner, my mother began to clear the table, and Lonnie took the little girl to the house to sleep. I planned to step forward to help, but my mother stopped me.
"We women do this kind of housework. Why are you, a grown man, doing these things?"
My mother said to me reproachfully.
I smiled and said, "Mother, what age are we in now? Men and women are equal. There is no need to worry about it."
"no!"
The mother still refused firmly: "My father is not in good health. From now on, you will be the backbone of the family. There are still many important things waiting for you to do. It is better for us women to do this kind of thing."
Uh, okay.
I smiled and turned back to my room.
In the mountain village, night came quickly. Before long, everything around was completely silent, and the entire village fell into silence.
