Snow stopped.

The two got up early the next morning, had a quick breakfast, packed up and prepared to go to the Wen family.

Jing Yao took out the ski basin that he had converted from a large basin at home and made another one to serve as a cargo ski basin to carry supplies.

Wen Qun sat obediently on the thick sponge mat in the basin. Since he had just recovered from a cold, Jing Yao wrapped him up very tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Jing Yao walked briskly in the snow, and the scenery on both sides quickly receded.

The sky and earth were covered in white, and the sun was blindingly bright. The wind blew through the branches, and the accumulated snow fell down in a rush.

Jing Yao ran fast, and Wen Qun was a little afraid that if he ran too fast, the basin would be pulled over: "Slow down."

"I can run."

"What if the pot falls over and I..."

Before he could finish his words, the basin hit a protruding stone and turned over.

Wen Qun fell into the snow. Fortunately, he was dressed warmly and wrapped up tightly, so he was not injured.

But on the other hand, the wrapping was too thick and the movements were not flexible, so I couldn't get out for a long time.

Jing Yao smiled and picked up Wen Qun. Wen Qun's mind went blank, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Jing Yao held the person in his arms and examined him carefully. "Be good, let me see if you are hurt."

Wen Qun shook his head to indicate that he was not injured.

Jing Yao frowned as he looked at the various supplies scattered on the ground. These were all gifts he had carefully prepared, representing his respect and blessings for Wen Qun's family. He quickly squatted down and picked up all the items one by one. Since today was New Year's Day, he deliberately brought some extra gifts, hoping to bring more joy to Wen Qun's family.

Wen Qun was wearing too much and was a little clumsy. Jing Yao was worried that he would fall again, so he told him not to move and to stand still and wait. Wen Qun had no choice but to follow Jing Yao's instructions and stay where he was, watching Jing Yao busy picking up the scattered items.

At this time, Jing Yao suddenly found a large snow pile not far away. He walked closer curiously and was surprised to find a person lying under the snow pile!

The man was covered with a thick layer of snow and looked motionless, as if he had lost any signs of life.

Wen Qun stared at the man lying in the snow with wide eyes, horrified. His face turned pale in an instant, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He had suddenly seen such a scene, and his heart was filled with fear and uneasiness.

"Dead people, wuuuu... there are dead people, wow... wow... Ayao."

Wen Qun shouted in panic, his voice echoing in the silent air.

Hearing Wen Qun's cry, Jing Yao rushed over and hugged him, whispering to him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

Jing Yao quickly squatted down to check the details, but the other party did not respond at all, and was still breathing: "He is not dead, he just fainted."

Jing Yao hugged Wen Qun tightly and comforted him in a gentle tone. He patted Wen Qun's back gently, hoping to calm his inner fear. After a while, Wen Qun's mood gradually stabilized.

It's not like Wen Qun had never seen a dead person before. He had even killed someone. But when he suddenly saw such a scene, he was still a little frightened.

Jing Yao let Wen Qun go and walked over to the man. He carefully turned the man over and observed his condition carefully. From his appearance, this man should be a refugee from the next town. He may have wandered around in the cold winter and finally fainted here due to exhaustion. If he continued to lie in the snow, he would probably be frozen to death or suffocated.

Jing Yao sighed, thinking that this world was really cruel and merciless. He decided to take the man home first and make plans after he woke up. So he picked up the man and walked towards Wen Qun.

Wen Qun widened his eyes and asked doubtfully: "Are you going to take him back?"

Jing Yao nodded and said, "Yes, we can't just watch him die without helping him. Besides, we don't know where his home is, so we can only take him back first."

Wen Qun thought for a moment and said, "Okay then."

Jing Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone will take good care of him."

After Jing Yao and Wen Qun brought the people back to the village, they immediately turned around and headed for the resettlement greenhouse in the village.

They handed the villagers over to the person in charge of the greenhouse and explained the situation to them in detail.

Because they have been exposed to the cold for a long time, they have already developed severe hypothermia symptoms. In this case, you must not simply and roughly put them in water to restore their body temperature, but you need to take the right method.

First, their cold clothes must be removed as quickly as possible so that their skin can breathe warm air.

Secondly, since there is sufficient heating in the house, this method can help them gradually warm up.

Only when their limbs are no longer so cold and stiff, you can consider placing them in warm water close to human body temperature to promote the recovery of body temperature.

If you rush into placing a person with hypothermia directly into overheated water, it may cause cardiac arrest or even endanger their life.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun were very familiar with these processing steps, but they did not interfere too much with the operations of the greenhouse staff.

After all, the staff here often deal with similar situations and are experienced.

Therefore, they simply gave brief instructions to wipe the villagers' bodies with warm water to help them recover their body temperature faster.

Afterwards, the two of them left the greenhouse with peace of mind and continued on their way to the Wen family.

When Jing Yao and Wen Qun arrived at the Wen family, the house was very lively.

In addition to Wen Xing’s friends, Wen Yu also brought a few people back, and they were all drinking tea and chatting in the living room.

Because the old house here has floor heating and a kang, the indoor temperature is relatively high and everyone feels relaxed and comfortable.

Seeing them coming, Wen Yu looked very happy, "Ayao, you are here."

The two of them quickly greeted, "Father, Big Brother."

Then Wen Yu introduced his friends to Jing Yao, "These are my friends, Li Chang and Zhang Tao."

Jing Yao smiled and nodded, "Welcome, welcome."

Then, Wen Yu introduced the two people to the other people in the room. After everyone got to know each other, they sat down.

Wen Qun was a twin after all, so it was not appropriate for him to be in such a situation. So he went to the backyard to find Wen's mother and the twins.

Jing Yao stayed where he was and listened to their conversation. He found that the topics they were talking about were not about national affairs, but about poetry, songs, philosophy of life and the like.

Jing Yao listened to them in silence, occasionally agreeing with them, but mostly remaining quiet.

These topics were somewhat unfamiliar to him, but they made him feel a strong cultural atmosphere.

He couldn't help but think of his life in the apocalypse, which was full of death and fighting, completely different from here.

However, he did not feel uncomfortable or disgusted. Instead, he felt that this cultural atmosphere was very good and could help people think about problems better and improve their own cultivation.

Jing Yao is willing to be exposed to more cultural knowledge to make himself more knowledgeable and profound.

After talking for a while, everyone said goodbye and went back to their rooms to rest. Wen Xing knew that they were giving them space, so he accepted their kindness.

The three of them came to the study, and the first topic they talked about was Wen Yu's decision to run to the border without permission.

Sensing Wen Xing's anger, Wen Yu simply knelt down and threw the wrong thing.

"Hmph! You still know that I am your father? Do you still have this family in your eyes? Who allowed you to go to the border?" Wen Xing's eyes were wide open, and he pointed at Wen Yu and cursed.

"Father, please calm down. I know I was wrong." Wen Yu lowered his head, not daring to look Wen Xing in the eye.

"Do you know you're wrong? If you really know you're wrong, you wouldn't do such a thing! Do you know that you almost lost your life when you went there?" Wen Xing was so angry that he was shaking all over and wanted to slap him.

"Father, I had no choice..." Wen Yu wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Wen Xing.

"I have no choice? What do you mean by having no choice? Don't you know who you are? You are just a scholar, how can you take such a risk so easily?"

"But if I don't go, our Wen family will be charged with treason!" Wen Yu raised his head and looked at Wen Xing, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"What? Treason? What exactly happened?" Wen Xing was shocked and asked quickly.

Wen Yu told Wen Xing what had happened. It turned out that Wen Yu had received a mysterious letter, which said that there was evidence that the Wen family had colluded with the enemy country and intended to rebel. If Wen Yu did not go to the border to investigate in person, the entire Wen family would be executed.

"Who did this? How dare they frame our Wen family!" Wen Xing slammed the table in anger.

"I don't know who it is, but someone definitely wants to kill us. So, I must go to the border to find out the truth," said Wen Yu.

"So what did you find out? Did you find any evidence?" Wen Xing asked.

"No, but I found some clues pointing to a mysterious organization. This organization seems to be planning a huge conspiracy, and our Wen family is just a pawn in it." Wen Yu said.

"Mysterious organization? What kind of mysterious organization?" Wen Xing frowned.

"I don't know much. I only know that this organization is very powerful and very hidden. They seem to have ulterior motives and will do anything at all costs," said Wen Yu.

"How outrageous! These people are so despicable!" Wen Xing said gritting his teeth.

"Father, now is not the time to be angry. We need to find a way to deal with this crisis." Wen Yu said calmly.

"Well, you're right. However, this matter can't be delayed any longer. We must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Wen Xing nodded.

"Father, I already have some plans, but I can't tell you for now." Wen Yu said.

"Well, I'll do as you say. Just tell me if you need anything." Wen Xing said helplessly based on his trust in his son.

"There's no need to just sit and wait and see. Too much movement will make it easier to be exposed," said Wen Yu.

"Well, you have thought it through very carefully." Wen Xing.

"Thank you, father." Wen Yu said.

"Forget it, forget it. You can arrange it then." Wen Xing said.

"Don't worry, father, I will do my best." Wen Yu said.

"Well, I believe you. But don't do such dangerous things again in the future. If something happens to you, what should our Wen family do?" Wen Xing warned.

"I understand, father. I was too impulsive this time. I won't do it again next time." Wen Yu lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Father, my brother has come such a long way to come back, please let him stand up and talk!" Jing Yao pleaded.

"Forget it, get up." Wen Xing also knew Wen Yu's current reputation in the Wen family. He sighed, waved his hand helplessly, and asked Wen Yu to get up.

"Brother, the ground is cold, get up quickly." Seeing Wen Xing speak, Jing Yao immediately stepped forward and personally helped Wen Yu up.

"Thank you, father." Wen Yu got up from the ground.

"Brother, you have worked hard along the way. I see that you..." Jing Yao was just about to say that Wen Yu was much thinner than before, and he must have suffered a lot along the way. However, when he touched the thin layer of new muscles on Wen Yu's arms, and his posture which was more sturdy and upright than before, he couldn't say the word "thin" anymore.

Jing Yao smiled brightly: "But you look much better!"

Wen Yu smiled and nodded, then looked at Wen Xing, a trace of guilt in his eyes, and said softly: "Father, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Wen Xing patted Wen Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Glad that you're back, we've always missed you."

Wen Yu glanced at Jing Yao gratefully, and then said, "I'm sorry for making everyone worried. I apologize to everyone here."

Jing Yao quickly helped Wen Yu up and comforted him, "Brother, there's no need to be so polite as a family. As long as you return safely, we will be satisfied."

Wen Yu nodded, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that his family must have been very worried during his absence, and now that he saw that they were safe and sound, he also put down the burden in his heart.

Jing Yao smiled and replied: "Men really should go out for a walk. This time, he looks much more grown up."

After hearing this, Wen Xing felt relieved. He looked at Wen Yu carefully and found that there was more confidence and calmness between his brows, and less childishness.

Wen Yu smiled and said, "You are indeed very knowledgeable."

"Big brother is becoming more like a father." Jing Yao couldn't help but laugh.

Wen Yu smiled and continued, "I learned a lot from this trip. The world outside is so vast, and there are all kinds of people and things that really opened my eyes."

Jing Yao asked curiously: "Oh? Then tell us quickly, have you encountered anything interesting?"

Wen Yu excitedly began to tell about his experiences on the road, such as the villages he passed by, the strange people he met, etc. He described them vividly, as if he was showing those scenes in front of them.

The two listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations or laughter. Seeing how interested everyone was, Wen Yu became more and more excited, not even missing out on small details.

Wen Xing listened and observed the changes in Wen Yu. He found that Wen Yu became more cheerful and optimistic, and full of confidence in the future. This change made Wen Xing feel very relieved.

After a round of greetings in the house, Wen Yu told them many interesting stories he had seen on the road in order to ease the atmosphere. He also said that he had brought them gifts, which he would send to their yard after the people returned.

"Thank you, brother!" Jing Yao said.

Wen Xing also smiled and expressed his satisfaction, then asked Wen Yu with concern: "How long do you plan to stay at home this time?"

Wen Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe not too long. We'll set off again once the snow stops."

Wen Xing nodded to show his understanding. He knew that Wen Yu had grown up and had his own ideas and pursuits. As a father, he could only support him and hope that he could find his own path in life.
