Chapter 12 Snow Rat

Three days before the Spring Festival, the fourth young master gathered all the sixty-two of his attendants in the villa.

Xiao Yu has been in Tianheng Courtyard for two months. This is the first time he has seen so many attendants.

They are also the attendants of the fourth young master. Those attendants are at least very friendly to Xiao Yu, who is the youngest, the weakest, and has a scar on her face.

According to the performance of this year, the fourth young master prepared a gift for each servant.

Xiao Yu just became the servant of the fourth young master. Without a single contribution, she only got a piece of jade pendant.

After receiving the reward, the other 61 attendants went home, and Xiao Yu refused Xia Zhongfang's invitation and stayed alone in the room to practice.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is coming.

The real Xia Qinian is still filial to his mother, so Xiao Yu needs to give incense to Xia Chenlu on the New Year's Day.

Xiao Yu has no good impression on Xia Chenlu, and Shangxiang is naturally not sincere. She only kowtowed to Xia Chenlu's position, and Xiao Yu stood up.

The mood is too irritable, and Xiao Yu is also practicing.

Looking at Xia Chenlu's position for a while, Xiao Yu turned around and walked to the door, opened the door and went out.

As soon as she came outside, Xiao Yu saw Xiao Yun walking quickly with a lunch box.

Seeing Xiao Yu, Xiao Yun walked faster.

"Son, please atone for your sins. I got up late today."

"You're not late. I got up a little early."

After replying to Xiao Yun, Xiao Yu turned around and went back to the room.

After following Xiao Yu back to the house, Xiao Yun first closed the door and then took out the wine in the lunch box.

Xiaoyun's wine and food this time are much richer than usual, but Xiao Yu tastes particularly unpleasant.

After taking two bites, Xiao Yu stopped.

"You go back first and clean it up when lunch is delivered!"

Xiaoyun took a look at Xiao Yu and whispered, "You are in a bad mood. I can accompany you here."

"You?"

Looking at Xiao Yun with her head down, Xiao Yu nodded gently.

Looking at Xia Chenlu's card position for a long time, Xiao Yutou did not ask, "Are you originally from the shooting sun villa?"

"Hmm! The maidservant's parents are the servants of the falling stars. When the maidservant was eight years old, she came to Tianhengyuan to be a maid.

"Since your family is in the villa, why don't you go home and have a look?"

"I have a humble status, I can't allow it, and I can't leave Tianhengyuan."

Xiao Yu nodded and stopped talking to Xiaoyun.

Time also passes quickly when a person deliberately wastes it. Before Xiao Yu smooths up all the complicated ideas in her mind, it's almost time to have lunch.

"What do you want to eat for lunch, son?"

"Rel free to make two light dishes and bring an extra pot of wine."

"Yes!"

When Xiaoyun went to prepare wine and vegetables for Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu was in a daze; when Xiao Yun brought wine and vegetables, Xiao Yu was still in a daze.

"Gun, the wine and dishes are ready."

Xiao Yu nodded and turned her body around.

Seeing the rich wine and dishes on the table, Xiao Yu glanced at Xiaoyun and said secretly, "This Xiaoyun is not bad-hearted, and she is also careful. Unfortunately, she is from the shooting sun villa."

"You can eat with me!"

"Yes!"

After lunch, Xiao Yu asked Xiao Yun to leave.

In the morning, Xiao Yu sat in a chair and stared at Xia Chenlu's position; in the afternoon, Xiao Yu lay in a daze on the roof; at night, Xiao Yu fell asleep early.

Since Xiao Yuanfeng's death, this is the only day for Xiao Yu to indulge herself.

On this day, Xiao Yu seemed to have thought about a lot of problems, but she didn't seem to think about anything.

I don't know whether it was suppressed for too long, or whether it was the role of him practicing "The Secret" for a long time. After Xiao Yu woke up the next day, he suddenly found that the power of his soul had become more round and powerful.

"Grandpa said that the way of cultivation also needs to be relaxed. However, for more than a year, I have always thought about revenge, but I have forgotten what Grandpa said."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu opened her eyes.

A day of indulgence made Xiao Yu understand that cultivation requires relaxation, but after breakfast, he went to the martial arts arena to practice.

The way of cultivation requires relaxation, but if you want to make achievements in the way of cultivation, you also need to know how to persevere.

In the next ten days, Xiao Yu practiced archery in the morning and practiced her vitality in the afternoon, but did not read until late at night as before.

Xiao Yu planned to practice as before after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but on the morning of the twelveth day of the first lunar month, the fourth young master suddenly sent Xia Zhongfang to call him.

"The young master called me?"

Seeing the apprehensions on Xiao Yu's face, Xia Zhongfang smiled and said, "Don't worry! The young master called you. There should be a task to be assigned to you. As long as you complete the task assigned by the young master, there will only be a reward and no punishment.

With doubt and a little nervousness, Xiao Yu followed Xia Zhongfang to the inner courtyard.

Since Xiao Yu became the servant of the fourth young master, he has only met the fourth young master twice, once after he first arrived at Tianhengyuan, and once before the Chinese New Year.

After entering the main hall, Xiao Yu and Xia Zhongfang knelt on the ground on one knee.

"See the young master!"

"Get up!"

As soon as Xiao Yu and Xia Zhong got up, the voice of the fourth young master sounded.

"Qin year, you seem to be very nervous!"

Xiao Yu looked up at the fourth young master and replied, "I'm ashamed. I'm really a little nervous."

"What are you nervous about?"

"I don't know why the young master called me, so I'm a little nervous."

The fourth young master nodded gently and said with a faint smile, "At the beginning, I asked you to be a servant, but I just saw that you practiced hard and was a talented talent. Originally, I would not assign you a task in these two years, but now there is a task that can only be done by you. Speaking of which, this matter is also coincidental. If it weren't for you, I would need to go to a disciple who has cultivation in the realm of Xiao Zhoutian. There is a snow spirit rat in Jiyun Peak. Go and help me catch it.

After saying this, the fourth young master reached out and put the book on the table and threw it at Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yu picked up the book, the voice of the fourth young master sounded again.

"No matter what method you use, you must bring the snow spirit rat to me intact on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The information of Xue Ling Rat is all in that book. If you need to prepare anything, just tell Zhong Fang, and he will help you find it as soon as possible. This is your first task. Don't let me down.

"Don't worry, young master, my subordinates will catch the snow rat even if they work hard."

The fourth young master smiled faintly and let Xiao Yu and Xia Zhongfang go down.

After leaving the door of the inner courtyard, Xiao Yu asked Xia Zhongfang, "Brother, what is the snow rat? Is it a spirit beast?"

Xia Zhongfang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what the snow spirit rat is. I haven't been with the young master these days."

After the two returned to the place where Xiao Yu lived, they began to look through the book thrown by the fourth young master to Xiao Yu.

That book is not thick, only more than 30 pages.

After reading the whole book, Xiao Yu and Xia Zhongfang also knew what the snow rat was.

The snow spirit rat can be regarded as a spirit beast, but its strength is so weak that it can't even be defeated by a martial arts practitioner. Although its strength is weak, its speed and sensitivity are extremely strong, so this snow spirit rat is extremely difficult to catch.

As long as a practitioner's cultivation is between the realm of Zhoutian and the realm of congenital perfection, his breath can't hide the sense of the snow spirit rat, while the sensing distance of the snow spirit rat is a hundred feet long.

After reading the introduction of the snow spirit rat in the book, Xiao Yu and Xia Zhongfang understood why the fourth young master asked Xiao Yu to catch the snow spirit rat.

"In Qi Nian, the young master should attach great importance to that snow rat. You can't mess up this matter!"

The book about the snow spirit rat is not only newly copied, but also copied by several people together. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the importance the fourth young master attached to the snow spirit rat.

Xiao Yu nodded, looked at Xia Zhongfang and asked, "Where is Jiyunfeng?"

"The cumulus cloud peak is in the south of the shooting sun god mountain. Through the chain bridge on the Tianfeng Valley, you can reach the cumulus cloud peak. This cumulus cloud peak is more than 200 feet long, the widest part is more than 60 feet, and the height is more than 330 feet. It is not very big. However, it is not easy to find the snow spirit rat.

When Xiao Yu heard the words, she couldn't help showing a trace of bitterness on her face.

"I didn't expect that the first person task I received was so difficult!"

Xia Zhongfang patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder and smiled, "The more difficult this task is, the more rewards you will get after completing it. Don't worry, the senior will help you."

"Thank you, brother!"

After thanking Xia Zhongfang, Xiao Yu focused on the book about the snow rat.

The speed of the snow spirit rat is extremely fast, and it is impossible to catch up with the snow spirit rat at the speed of Xiao Yu. Therefore, if you want to catch the snow spirit rat, you can only take it wisely.

After reading the whole book back and forth three times, Xiao Yu said in a low voice to Xia Zhongfang, "Brother, please help me prepare a big net that is not easy to be found in the snow and a set of clothes that is not easy to be found in the snow."

"Just these two things?"

"Uh-huh!"

Gently patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder, and Xia Zhongfang got up to prepare what Xiao Yu wanted.

Just as Xia Zhongfang opened the door, Xiao Yu suddenly added two more things.

"Brother, prepare two more cloaks, which should be wider. The color should be lighter, but not white."

Xia Zhongfang was slightly stunned for a moment, turned around and smiled, "Okay! Two hours later, I will deliver the things.

At lunch, Xiao Yu asked Xiao Yun to send him two more when she delivered dinner.

Xiaoyun was a little surprised to see Xiao Yu eating three servings of dinner, but Xia Zhongfang, who was eating with Xiao Yu, knew that Xiao Yu was preparing.

After dinner, Xiao Yu and Xia Zhongfang took what they had prepared to Tianfeng Valley.

The shooting sun villa is built facing north. Tianfeng Valley is in the south of the shooting sun god mountain, that is, behind the shooting sun mountain villa.

Xiao Yu followed Xia Zhongfang for a quarter of an hour before coming to Tianfeng Valley.

Tianfeng Valley, as its name is a valley where the wind blows 365 days a year. The wind is about 200 feet wide, and there are a large number of iron chains in the valley connecting the cliffs on both sides of the valley.

Standing in front of Tianfeng Valley, listening to the sound of the wind and the impact of the chains in her ears, and looking at the chains moving with the wind, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is it to practice archery skills in this Tianfeng Valley by standing on those chains?"
