This year's winter was extremely cold. Snowflakes kept dancing in the sky, as if they had no head. Almost nothing in the deserted village could be seen under the snowflakes.
The snow on the road has already been three or four feet thick. People walking on this road, let alone walking, can't stand even if they stand, and they will be buried in the snow immediately. Therefore, in such a cold weather, people do not
He didn't dare to go out. At most, he walked out of his patio and took a brief look at the snowy scene. Then he bent back to his stove and warmed himself up by the fire.
The water in the river has stopped flowing. Now you can cross it without worrying about the danger of falling. It can be said that not only people, but also cattle can walk to the other side of the river with ease.
However, in such a cold winter, the cows did not dare to go out. They stayed in their dens and mooed from time to time to vent their dissatisfaction.
At night, people turned off the lights one after another and listened to the water monsters in the river branch. It’s true that at this time in previous years, it would be cold for a while and a little snow, but this year is different. The snow actually
It rains endlessly, so it would be strange if the water monster didn't curse.
Of course, when it comes to water monsters scolding their mothers, some narrow-minded people often rush out and scold them regardless of the consequences because they can't swallow it. But when they hear someone dare to confront them, it's like a flower in June.
It's a different matter when it's like a brocade, but it's different now. The water monster doesn't dare to take any action against those who are rude to it. At most, it just murmurs a few complaints.
And on this particularly cold night, Uncle Hua was not idle. He walked out of the house and went to Shaoqiu's house to have a look. He must come up with a perfect plan. No matter what, he couldn't let a fire light in his house.
His hands were cold to death. But he couldn't blatantly prevent others from lighting fires in their houses, so he wandered around in his own courtyard, not knowing how to deal with it.
At this time, the witch appeared again. When he saw the witch, Uncle Hua invited her into his house. Seeing that Aunt Hua was not there, he even did something with her. Of course, the witch was not too ugly.
, but with this mouth full of yellow teeth, almost no one except Uncle Hua could bear it.
"What is the purpose of Taoist priest here?" Hua Bo asked.
"I came here for no other reason than because it's snowing. It's not a big deal if I don't come to see everyone and talk to everyone," the witch said.
At this time, someone's cow was worried that there would be no grass to eat because of the heavy snow. That family was crying at this time. The cow died. If spring comes next year, there will be no cows to plow the land.
If so, what should we do?
"It's all my fault. You should comfort it, otherwise, why would it be so worried that it would die for no reason?" the owner of the cow said to the people around him.
"Well, how can I blame you? If I were to blame, I can only blame your own cattle for being too narrow-minded. Otherwise, why would it be like this?" The man comforted her.
However, these words were almost inaudible after a strong wind blew. In Hua Bo's house, the fire was crackling, and the witch sitting by the fire was drinking wine.
Playing with Uncle Hua. Of course, Uncle Hua didn't forget to touch the witch's butt when no one was around.
Although the night was already deep, Uncle Hua and the witch were talking about something, which was almost endless for a while. There was heavy snow outside, the mountains were blocked, the river had stopped flowing, and the deserted village was silent, and no one could hear anyone's gossip.
The sound was gone. All that was heard was the occasional sound from the fire. Other than that, nothing could be heard.
Regardless of Aunt Hua's strong objections, the witch just lay down on Uncle Hua's bed. Aunt Hua even had a quarrel with the witch, but the witch was so powerful that she was almost invincible in the world.
It's fair! Knowing that she was outmatched, Aunt Hua returned to her empty room after scolding her for a while, not daring to say anything else. Otherwise, under the instigation of the witch, Uncle Hua got drunk.
This person can really do anything.
On the second day, the witch got up from Uncle Hua's bed early. When she opened the door and looked outside, she saw white snow. The green mountains yesterday were already withered and no longer as charming as before. The witch pulled
Opening the door of the house, he gradually disappeared in the strong wind.
Because the mountains are covered with heavy snow, all roads leading to the mountains are cut off. People can only rely on the few firewood they have piled up in front of their houses to keep themselves warm. Some families have insufficient firewood.
, and even started to chop up their own furniture, such as beds and tables, they chopped them all up and used them to warm the fire.
Because there was a lot of firewood piled up in his home, Shaoqiu was not worried for the moment. However, some families in the deserted village were already crying because they had no firewood to burn. Faced with this unprecedented cold current, it was not easy to survive the winter safely.
However, in the face of this natural disaster, there was no choice but to go to the mountains to cut down trees. However, the mountain road had long been cut off, and there were rumors of bears. No one dared to risk their lives for a few firewood.
.
In order to save some firewood, Shaoqiu didn't light a fire even though the weather was so cold. He just stayed in his room, stamping his feet and breathing in. From time to time, there was the sound of mountains collapsing outside, and in the middle of the night, someone could be heard because of
A cry that never ceases in the cold.
Not far away, due to the competition for firewood, two big men fought together, and some even lost their lives. Hearing this sound, Shaoqiu did not dare to go out, otherwise, he might encounter unexpected harm.
.
However, I finally heard someone standing in front of my house, knocking on the door. I didn't dare to open the door for a while, but being silent all the time was not a problem. Besides, that person had no intention of stopping.
, if you don’t open the door, it’s definitely not an option if it’s always so noisy.
The north wind howled, blowing up the snow on the mountains, mixed with rocks and mud, and kept smashing it towards the deserted village. Fortunately, it was night and people did not go out, otherwise, there would be so many people injured. Shaoqiu's
The broken windows were unable to withstand the raging north wind at this time. No, a window was broken, and the cold wind poured in directly.
Standing by the door was Uncle Hua. He was shivering and looked extremely pitiful. If he didn't open the door, something might really happen. Shaoqiu couldn't bear it, so he opened the door and pulled Uncle Hua out.
Xiao Hua was let into her room, but Uncle Hua refused to come in, saying that she was cold, and Xiao Hua was so cold that she almost died.
"Why don't you light the fire?" Shaoqiu asked.
"Oh, don't talk about it. Someone quietly took those firewood away last night. Therefore, there is nothing in front of my house at this time." Uncle Hua replied.
"Then...if you don't mind these firewood, just take them all." Shaoqiu said to Uncle Hua, and for a moment he didn't care whether he was cold or not. Maybe in his eyes, he was young after all.
You can still withstand such a little bit of wind and cold.
"Okay." Uncle Hua agreed and began to carry the firewood, and even Shaoqiu's books.
"This book is not good, I want to read it." Shaoqiu stopped him like this, but Uncle Hua insisted on moving and couldn't stop it for a while. Otherwise, what would he do if Xiaohua changed his mind and refused to get along with him?
"Don't mention it. With these books, it will be easy to burn. Otherwise, just with these pieces of wood, it won't be possible to burn." Uncle Hua said.
"Oh, that's right." Shaoqiu said. However, he was quite disdainful in his heart. People don't cherish books, so why do they do this? If it were me, even if I froze to death, I would never think of reading these books.
"I still want..." Hua Bo looked at Shaoqiu's desk at this time and felt that it was better to warm up the fire while reading in such a cold day, so he wanted to move Shaoqiu's desk out and chop it up to make firewood, because
The weather is really too cold.
"What else do you want?" Shaoqiu asked.
"I think," Uncle Hua said, "it's such a cold day, so why don't you stop reading, and give me your desk to chop and make firewood."
"This is not possible," Shaoqiu replied, "How will I read and write in the future? This is absolutely not possible."
But at this moment, Aunt Hua rushed into her house. Without saying a word, she smashed her desk with a hammer and turned it into a pile of firewood. Seeing that her desk was broken, Shao
Qiu Yi stopped arguing and simply let them take it, because the weather was honestly too cold.
After sending away Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua, Shao Qiufu closed the door. He wanted to read a book for a moment, but the desk was gone, so he could only pile up the books and sit on them and read them. Although it looked comfortable without a desk,
But it was not satisfactory. Otherwise, if I offended those two people, it would be a little inconvenient to talk to Xiaohua later.
At this time, snow started to fall from the sky, and the weather was even colder than before. Even the stone outside the door, because there was no fire to bake it, still cried quietly when no one was around. Shaoqiu wanted to go out at this time, because
I wanted to see this snow scene. When I have nothing to do, I would still enjoy walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms. But I couldn’t sleep at this time, so I wanted to go out and see the red plum blossoms in bloom.
But because the weather was so cold, even though the door was opened, because the air was frozen for a time, it was like a barrier, and it was impossible to get out for a while. However, Shaoqiu remembered the hammer at this time, and turned
The air was smashed open, otherwise, I might not be able to get out.
As soon as I got outside, it was really weird. I found that the sky and the earth were covered with ice and snow. Some people's houses couldn't withstand the blow of the severe cold because of the useless materials, and they collapsed one after another. Fortunately, Shaoqiu's house, although
Although it is dilapidated, it is quite sturdy, fashionable and intact.
But because the weather was too cold, I caught a cold and sneezed all the time. If there was no fire, I was afraid that it would be impossible. But just when I wanted to warm myself by the fire, I found the firewood outside the house.
It had already been carried away by Uncle Hua, and not a single one could be found.
His health was not good, but he couldn't stand it anymore. He thought of Uncle Hua and wanted to ask him for some. But when Shaoqiu walked to the door of Uncle Hua's house, he found that although the house was open,
The door was open, but no one could be seen inside. Moreover, all the firewood in the house seemed to have evaporated from the world overnight, and could never be found again.
Shaoqiu had no choice but to crawl back to his house. He stayed on the dilapidated bed for a while and kept sighing, how could the world be so ruthless?
The heavy snow outside the door is still falling. But who cares about Shaoqiu's life and death? No one, almost no one.
