Although Xunzi, Glasses, and Monk didn't wish to believe it, they subconsciously nodded.
Yao Zhen asked in astonishment, "A huge white wolf?" She clearly remembered that the monk had brought a huge white wolf with him when he appeared.
Wei Yaqin nodded. "Yes, we were attacked by a pack of wolves. At the critical moment, the white wolf appeared and blocked the pack of wolves. I wonder if it was intentional or a coincidence. "
Yao Zhen narrowed her eyes and whispered. "It must be …" She didn't finish her sentence because she was afraid that it would be difficult to explain if she did.
"Definitely what?" Glasses asked.
Yao Zhen shook her head and didn't say a word.
Following that, Xunzi and company mentioned the demon. Back in the forest, they had only been afraid, but now that they thought about it, it seemed like the reason they could run in the right direction was all because of the demon. This also meant that the demon was really helping them! As for the demon's identity, they firmly believed that it was a demon. After all, that childish voice and the fact that they couldn't see the person despite the voice being just inches away wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
Listening to each other talking about bizarre things, the atmosphere of the few of them became a little better.
The few of them chatted animatedly, talking about the white-robed monk and the gigantic white wolf.
At that moment, the door opened. The woman who had entered previously carried a huge pot of hot noodles. As she placed it on the table, she said with a smile, "Are you talking about Abbot Fangzheng and his disciple, Jingfa?"
"No," He Haijiang said subconsciously.
The woman was taken aback before she said with a smile, "I heard you mention the white-robed monk and the gigantic white wolf. I thought you were talking about Mt. One Finger's Abbot Fangzheng and his disciple, White Wolf Jingfa."
The moment that was said, Xunzi and company were taken aback. Only then did they recall that the monk on Mt. One Finger had a gigantic white wolf as a pet! This was mentioned on the Internet, but they had only thought of it as a myth and had forgotten about it. With this in mind, everyone exchanged looks and saw the shock and desire in each other's eyes.
"Sis, can we go up the mountain now?" Xunzi eagerly sat up as he picked up the noodles, preparing to drink a mouthful of hot noodles.
The woman nodded and said, "I can, but the wind and snow are strong, so it's risky to go up the mountain."
Hearing the word 'risk', a few of them subconsciously shivered. They had rushed into the mountains rashly because they did not take nature seriously and almost lost their lives! This incident was still fresh in their minds, and there was still lingering fear in their hearts. Therefore, he did not dare to go up the mountain. Especially He Haijiang. The others were either cold or had encountered a pack of wolves, but he had seen the scene of the cliff collapsing and falling. The fear in his heart was the deepest! Furthermore, the bones in his body had already been broken to such an extent that he could not even walk, let alone climb up the mountain.
The woman continued, "If you really want to go up the mountain, you should wait for the weather to clear up. At that time, the visibility will be better and it will be safer. "
Everyone nodded subconsciously to show that they understood.
At that moment, the door opened again. The captain of the rescue team, Meng Qingrui, walked in with two policemen.
"Guys, have you rested enough?" Meng Qingrui asked with a smile.
The few of them nodded subconsciously.
The policeman next to Meng Qingrui said with a serious expression, "Since you're done resting, come to our place. According to the latest regulations, you will be responsible for all the losses of this search and rescue operation. "
"What?" He Haijiang jumped in fright when he heard that. Be responsible for all the losses? How much would that cost? Feeling a little flustered, he shouted, "Isn't your search and rescue team free of charge? Isn't it paid by the country? You're charging for nothing! Besides, it's free overseas! "
Upon hearing He Haijiang's words, Meng Qingrui's expression turned nasty. He had heard the heart-rending words He Haijiang had said to Old Luo and company. He hated He Haijiang to the core. However, on account that he was a brat, he only frowned.
A policeman by the side shook his head and said, "In the future, be more serious when you study, be it overseas or domestically. If you follow the normal, legal, and compliant procedures to explore, all the rescue expenses will be free. However, if you don't make a declaration, apply for a route, or do nothing but cause a ruckus. Then, all the consequences and financial losses will be borne by you. This time, in order to search for the few of you, we mobilized more than a hundred police, armed police, and firefighters from the county. We also sent out a rescue helicopter. There was a landslide in the middle of it, and people nearly died … "
Upon hearing that people nearly died, everyone subconsciously looked at He Haijiang and Cheng Mujie. The two of them didn't dare look into everyone's eyes. Amidst the horror in their hearts, they were filled with regret.
Especially He Haijiang. He still clearly remembered that after he said that the rescue team wasn't in danger, the cliff had collapsed. The heavens had used reality to tell him that the rescue team was really risking their lives to save them! The shock lingered in their hearts for a long time … With this in mind, He Haijiang, who wanted to argue, shut up. He whispered, "I'll pay for it."
Cheng Mujie originally wanted to reprimand He Haijiang, but seeing him lower his head, she didn't say a word.
Xunzi, Glasses, Wei Yaqin, Monk, and Yao Zhen nodded in acknowledgment of their punishment. Their lives had been saved, so it was only right to pay. Firstly, they weren't lacking in money. Secondly, after narrowly escaping death, they didn't think much of money.
However, after this incident, the few of them finally understood a principle. Everything had rules. Acting freely by breaking the rules wasn't freedom, but courting death! Everything had its boundaries, and everything had its rules. Freedom was always relative and never absolute.
At the foot of the mountain, the few of them were reprimanded by the two policemen before being transferred to the county city's hospital.
Fangzheng had also heard of this from Wang Yougui. After hearing it, he chuckled and didn't say a word.
After hanging up, Fangzheng sat by the door. The heavy snow had already turned into white snowflakes that filled the sky. The wind had stopped as well. The snowflakes danced gently above the Heavenly Dragon Pond, and the reflection danced as well. They were like pixies in the world, making them look extremely beautiful.
One Finger Monastery behind him also changed its attire in the snow. The originally colorful One Finger Monastery was now covered in a layer of silver-white snow, blending into the whiteness of the world.
From afar, the entirety of Mt. One Finger was white. This time, it wasn't clouds or fog, but pure white. It was as though it was an otherworldly land that didn't belong to the mortal world.
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes in a composed manner as he thought, "System Bro, I'm going at the draw!"
"Ding! You are finally willing to do the draw? But this time, you have indeed accumulated quite a bit of merit. You should be able to draw something good, "the System said with a chuckle.
Fangzheng smiled. "Then let's do it!"
