"Dawn, maybe we should return this pot to the old woman outside the door first?"

Seeing Dawn's solemn expression, Vivienne held the frying pan and waited for a while before opening her mouth.

"Well. Let's go out first." Dawn nodded.

There aren't many valuable things in the house anymore.

And the Qima Snow Mountain not far from Laika Village, apart from being the opening point of [Concerto Forest], seems to hide a lot of secrets.

Now it is very necessary to inquire from the locals to see if there are any legends and anecdotes about that snow mountain.

The old lady at the door is a good questioner.

And this frying pan, which has been washed clean, is the beginning of Donne's friendship with the old woman!

Dawn and Vivienne walked out of the room.

They saw that the old woman who had been waiting by the door had retreated into the snow outside at some point.

"I just looked into the door, and I seem to see a very scary thing...a humanoid...humanoid..."

The old woman's voice trembled a little.

It seems that when she was outside the door just now, she caught a glimpse of the petrified body of the man in the room.

"The man from a foreign country you mentioned is dead." Donne didn't shy away from anything, and said this directly.

"Dead? How could it be..." The old woman's stooped body trembled.

At this time, Miss Fairy next to her also spoke, and handed out the frying pan in her hand: "Then old woman, this should be your pan."

"Mine? No, it's impossible. My pot is black, and this pot...wait a minute, this pot looks familiar." The old woman stared at the frying pan, and finally realized, " That man cleaned my pot?"

"I'm afraid that's the case. The man used the coal ash on your pot, mixed it with snow water, and left such a note." Dawn unfolded the rough note found in the cabin.

This seems to be a natural and local way for this old woman to start the topic of Qima Snow Mountain.

"But I can't read." The old woman glanced at the paper and just shook her head.

"What he wrote was—his left hand was covered with rocks, and he seemed to be dying; Qima Snow Mountain; Earl Wenfeng's graveyard; the secret of eternal life; the guardian of the giant stone."

Dawn briefly described the content on the paper, and deliberately emphasized [Qima Snow Mountain].

"That man from a foreign country seems to have gone to the earl's cemetery on the snow mountain to become that horrible appearance. Old woman, is there really such a scary place in that snow mountain?" Vivian added beside her.

"Is it on the snow mountain? There seem to be a lot of stories about that snow mountain. If you want to hear it, you can come to the old woman's house. I don't think this is a suitable place to talk."

The old woman thought about it seriously, and then glanced at the room with the broken wooden door, obviously still a little scared.

Dawn and Vivienne looked at each other and nodded to each other.

In terms of their strength, there is no need to be afraid of visiting a village woman's house.

Seeing that her invitation was accepted by the pair of outstanding young people in front of her, the old lady seemed quite happy. She turned around and led the way, but before taking two steps, she turned around and said:

"Oh, by the way, before going to my house, let's go find Old Van Dun first."

"Who is the old Vendome?"

"The experienced old hunter in our village, you have to tell him about the things here."

...

On the way, Dorn and Vivian learned that the old woman's name was Ailian.

Led by Granny Ailian, they knocked on the door of the village's old hunter, Fan Deng.

The door was quickly opened.

The hunter who opened the door had grayed beard and hair, but he was quite energetic, with piercing eyes, and a friendly attitude towards Dawn and Vivienne, two outsiders.

Granny Ailian briefly explained the situation of the petrified foreign man.

"That foreigner went to the mausoleum on the snowy mountain?" After hearing this, Old Van Deng's face became heavy, "Excuse me, everyone. I have to find the boys in the village and deal with the stoned body of that foreigner."

The old hunter left such a sentence, put on a coat directly, and went out in the wind and snow.

"It seems that the locals in Laika Village know quite a lot about the Snow Mountain. It is probably not the first time that old Van Deng has dealt with petrified corpses."

Don thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

After that, Donne and his party went to Grandma Ailian's house.

Granny Ailian lived alone. Her husband died very early and she had no children, so she lived alone in a small low house with uneven earth walls.

Maybe that's why she invited Don and Vivian to her house.

Being able to talk to people should be a very pleasant thing for an elderly person like her.

After returning home, Granny Ailian first asked Don and the others to sit down, then lit a fire and lit some charcoal for warmth, and then used an old but clean earthen pot teapot to heat the tea for a while and put it on the small table in the house.

The tea was poured out, steaming hot, the color was clear golden yellow, and the smell was very familiar.

"This tea..." Don looked at the tea.

ginger tea.

This is a jar of ginger tea.

Because of the existence of [ingredient intuition], Don can be sure that there is nothing wrong with the ginger tea itself.

However, in the Land of Miracles, although ginger is relatively common and cheap, he seldom sees the natives of this different world make tea with ginger.

Even though ginger tea is indeed a good medicine for warming up the body in winter.

"This is ginger tea. Miss Dolores taught us to make it with shredded ginger. The taste may not be particularly delicious, but it will be warm after drinking it. People in our village drink it in winter." Ai Grandma Lian said so.

"Miss Dolores?" Don asked.

Although the main purpose of coming to Grandma Ailian's house was to inquire about Qima Snow Mountain.

But when chatting, it is still necessary to catch the topic of the other party as much as possible, so that the communication is natural.

At this time, if you abruptly switch the topic to the snowy mountains immediately, it may make the other party feel that you have other plans, which is not conducive to obtaining more information later.

In terms of chatting, Dawn has figured it out anyway.

After asking this echoing question, Dawn calmly took a sip of the bowl of ginger tea in front of him, and at the same time gave Vivienne a wink, indicating that the tea is ready for her to drink.

After taking a sip of ginger tea, the warm feeling is accompanied by the hot tea flowing from the mouth to the abdominal cavity.

When mentioning this Miss Dolores, Granny Ellen's interest immediately rose, and her words were mixed with obvious gratitude:

"Well, Miss Dolores is a doctor in this neighborhood. She lives in the town, but she often treats rough people like us in the village. She is a kind lady and a good doctor."

"When there was an epidemic in the village before, oh, the old bachelor Hudson died in that epidemic. At that time, I was also infected. I thought I would not live for a few days..."

"But later, Miss Dolores rushed to the village to see a doctor for us and give us medicine. She even organized the healthy young adults in the village to kill the rats."

"If it wasn't for her, our village might not exist anymore."

While talking, Grandma Ailian also scooped up ginger soup from her own bowl with a spoon.

Wait until the spoon is returned to the bowl.

bang——

The bowls and spoons collided, making a crisp but unpleasant sound.
