Chapter 994 Remuneration

As the other families looked on with envy and worry, the three of them headed south.

Mu Ren didn't have a horse, so Mo Beihan gave him his own horse and he and Qiao Ran rode together.

Fortunately, the distance of more than twenty miles was not far, and the three men and two horses soon arrived at the foot of a big mountain.

Muren pulled the reins of his horse, pointed to the distance ahead and said:

"That's the hot spring. That one is a big one. There's a smaller one around the mountain. There's a group of dozens of snow wolves in that mountain. They often go to the hot spring to keep warm and hunt. I, I won't go there. You can go there by yourselves, right?"

Qiao Ran looked in the direction of his finger and saw mist rising from somewhere over there. It was undoubtedly a hot spring.

She took out a silver ingot from her bag and threw it over:

"Here, this is your reward."

Mu Ren took the silver, got off his horse, thanked him profusely and even knelt down to kowtow.

These ten taels of silver are the life-saving money for their family of six!

With this money, he could go to the northern border to buy some food for the winter so that his family would not starve to death.

Qiao Ran pulled him up and saw that he was an honest man who loved his wife and children. After thinking for a while, he took out a porcelain bottle from the space and handed it to him:

"Your wife got sick during childbirth, so you can't let her get pregnant again. This is a good medicine for women to recuperate. Take it back and give it to her. Let her take one pill every three days until she finishes it. Remember, you can't let her get pregnant again!"

I have five children, both sons and daughters, so I should be content!

Really, they are poor but still want to have children desperately. Are they going to have so many children just to be cannon fodder?

These families have middle-aged men and children around ten years old. They live in such a remote place. I think they are trying to avoid military service in the Northern Desert.

The Northern Desert loves war, and if you are caught and forced to serve in the military, you will die!

Upon hearing this, Mu Ren felt ashamed and grateful. He took the porcelain bottle and left, thanking him profusely.

Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan continued riding towards the hot spring.

When we got closer, we found that this hot spring was indeed quite large.

There is a natural pool of about 20 square meters, with spring water constantly bubbling up.

The water temperature is probably not low. The mist rising above the water surface can be seen from a long distance, just like the Heavenly Palace in Journey to the West.

To be on the safe side, Qiao Ran took out a thermometer and a poison detector from the space.

Temperature, 62 degrees. Non-toxic.

In fact, there are sometimes some slightly toxic minerals in hot springs, so not all hot springs are suitable for bathing.

But the hot springs here are okay and not poisonous.

It’s a pity that the temperature is too high, otherwise I would at least go down and take a soak. It would be so refreshing to soak in a hot spring in such a cold day!

Qiao Ran shook her head regretfully and turned her gaze towards the area around the hot spring.

Looking at the messy footprints everywhere around the hot spring, you can tell how popular this hot spring pool is among animals.

However, there are not only footprints, but also many corpses, which shows how many animals lost their lives here.

Just as Qiao Ran was walking towards a tiger corpse not far away, a noise suddenly came from the mountain ahead.

The snow on the trees fell down, a few birds flew up in the forest, and more than a dozen animals of all sizes flashed among the shadows of the trees in panic. Some ran out of the forest in a panic, and there was even a snow rabbit as fat as a little kangaroo that ran straight towards Qiao Ran.

The white mass rolled to Qiao Ran's feet like a snowball, hit her calf, and fell down dizzy.

Before Qiao Ran could pick up the fat rabbit that weighed at least ten pounds, she saw a group of animals that looked like Samoyeds running out of the woods.
