Leaning next to the warm fire, Xiao Lim looked out the window in ecstasy and sighed deeply.
Looking down from the window on the second floor of her house, this small mountain town in Franjo is covered in silver. No one can be seen walking on the street, and all stores are closed.
The snowflakes have been falling since December last year and have not stopped until today. With the arrival of the New Year in the calendar year 917 of the Gods, countless people died in the mountains covered by ice and snow.
Those who slipped and fell to death, those who were bitten to death by winter wolves, and those who were trapped outside the city for various reasons and were frozen to death. Every year when winter comes, there are always ten people in this small town.
Several families are suffering from the pain of losing their loved ones.
It was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already dark outside. Snowflakes were falling quietly, and the houses were pitch black, without any fire inside.
It feels like the end of the world. Although there are no ruins, at first glance, it looks like a scene ten years after the extinction of mankind. The streets are buried in a white snow, and the white color is reminiscent of a shroud.
Of course, the families who did not light the fires did not light the fires because their whole family died in the heavy snow. The correct answer is to save the small fires.
According to experience in previous years, the long snow season lasts for more than half a month. The cold current that swept through the entire Franconian territory starting from mid-December will drive the animals in the mountains to hibernate within a few days.
The heavy snow that falls at the end of the year will continue to fall for two weeks. During these two weeks, let alone go out. Even if you are cleaning the snow piled up at the door and window, you should not open the door for more than two seconds.
Otherwise, the heat that was finally accumulated will be extinguished in an instant.
Just one family's fire reserve is simply not enough to survive such a cold winter.
Therefore, many years ago, the mountain people of Sodom had put several families together during the winter. Several families lived together in one room, and the daily necessities accumulated by several families - especially firewood
——Get together to save the fire and get through this difficult month.
The same is true for Xiao Lim's family. Because her house is relatively large, people stay in her house every winter.
The people living in her house this year are Old Peter, the best blacksmith in Sodom, and a family of bakers who can make soft and sweet white bread.
Old Peter is a lame winter dwarf who likes to drink and brag. He speaks in a loud and hoarse voice, and has a pair of big and scary hands that are as red as soldering irons. They feel hard and the palms of his hands are as hard as calluses.
Hard scars. He always likes to get close to Xiao Lim and tell her some stories at an unbearable volume that she has never heard but seems to be of no use.
Little Lim actually doesn't like old Uncle Peter very much. Rather, she hates this rude old dwarf.
Compared with old Peter, the baker who can make soft and sweet white bread is much better. At least his beard is clean, his hair is not greasy, and he has a good smell like Uncle Joel, and he
He has a nice voice and can tell jokes. Even if his wife, who is as fat and soft as white bread, speaks in a sharp voice. Even if his son always cries at night and likes to urinate everywhere, Little Lim also
I would like to let their family live here.
If her father hadn't respected old Peter very much, Lord Lim wouldn't have been kind enough to let this rude old dwarf live in!
...But when will dad come back?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lim sighed again.
She lay beside the window and stared blankly at the unchanging snow scene outside the window.
Her mother told her that her father had gone to do a great thing - in fact, even though little Lim was only six years old this year, she could still roughly understand what her father was doing.
A week ago, more than a dozen warriors from Sodom were inspired by Lord Lord Khan to go to the White Tower to exterminate those evil wizards. Under Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Khan's protection, they successfully defeated them and destroyed the evil White Tower.
They pushed it all together and cut off the wizard's inheritance.
This cannot but be said to be a brilliant victory.
But an embarrassing thing happened - because after the war was won, the warriors spent too long in the White Tower in order to completely destroy the evil inheritance of the White Tower. They waited for the warriors who went to the White Tower to conquer the wizards to return.
, the continuous heavy snow has blocked the road they came from.
In such a cold winter, even the strong knights would not dare to crawl back through the half-meter-high snow. It would be better to say that the iron cans on their bodies could directly bury them——
When the baker said this to Little Lim with great joy, Little Lim almost had a stomachache from laughing.
However, in order to prevent them from being buried, Xiao Lim's father and several other experienced hunters went to the east trail to pick up the few Templars who were almost buried.
Speaking of which, we have to mention what little Lim is proud of - her father Kandin. Kandin, the white wolf of the Coruman family, is a well-known old hunter. He once hunted a sub-dragon monster alone.
, thus gaining the favor of Loda Khan and gaining the power to perform divine magic.
The famous battle of White Wolf Kandin has been adapted into various legendary stories and spread in other places. In the winter four years ago, he killed nine winter wolves with six throwing axes, and then a pot of arrows was used to kill nine winter wolves.
With a false start, one person in the wilderness completely repelled the wolf wave near the end of the snow season.
In the end, after all the weapons were used up, he fought with the Wolf King for a day and a night with his unarmed fighting skills. Finally, the Wolf King gave in and led the wolf tide to retreat from the city of Sodom. From then on, winter never came again.
.
Kandin the White Wolf, Kandin the Wolf King, Kandin who defeated the wolves with his bare hands - his father's reputation became more and more prosperous, and eventually attracted the bards of Caral to cross the mountains to collect Kandin's stories and compile them into
The poetry spreads.
The white wolf Kandin is the patron saint of Sodom, a legendary hunter who was awarded the award by Loda Khan, and is the pride of little Lim.
She never believed that her father would be hurt in this level of snow. It was only the beginning of January, and the coldest time was near the end of the snow season in mid-January. Her father had defeated the Wolf King at that time, and again
How could someone get injured in this level of heavy snow?
"Huh? That's..."
At this moment, Xiao Lim saw something strange.
Her eyes widened, her little face pressed against the window, and she held her breath.
As Xiao Lim concentrated her attention, she finally saw clearly the true form of the moving black dot——
It was a man wearing a black cloak.
In a snowy day that could freeze a person to death, the man trudged hard through the heavy snow, advancing slowly and alone.
Even though he had not entered the city and had no intention of turning towards Sodom, little Lim had an inexplicable feeling that the man was walking towards Sodom.
If you look carefully, there seems to be someone behind him...
Little Lim's eyes and mouth gradually opened wide, and she made an incredible cry:
"——Dad?!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
