Chapter 139
Chapter 139
The idea of the two little guys entering the mountain was cut off, and they squatted at the door, looking at the heavy snow and pedestrians outside together.
It was already the third day, but the heavy snow was still falling outside, and the snow at the door of the small restaurant was enough to cover most of their bodies. If the three little guys hadn't cleaned it up in time, the snow had already squeezed into the room.
Ah Bei wiped off the snow on the small square table from time to time. Even though the small restaurant had not been open for a long time, he still habitually wanted to make the small square table clean. It was only at this time that Xiao Baiyan remembered, why did he This small restaurant looks familiar.
This is clearly the scene he has seen in the Arctic Palace. The square table full of wine bowls, the laughing wine boys in jackets, the fluttering streamers, and the snowflakes are all exactly the same as the scene imagined by Lord Polaris.
Xiao Baiyan held up a Polaroid to take pictures of the surrounding scenery. Although the heavy snow brought a boundless chill, the scenery was extremely beautiful.
Ah Bei watched Wan Ding and Bai Yan busy at work from a distance, and yearning flashed across his eyes. He and his brother were so good in the past. Whenever it snowed, his brother would always take him skiing and make snowmen, but now Nothing can be done.
The heavy snow was getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Baiyan didn't dare to delay outside, so he ran back with Wan Ding and brushed off the snow on his body.
"Why is it still snowing?" Wan Ding was a little depressed. Although he was a Wan Ding furnace, he could withstand all the temperatures, but such a cold and seemingly endless day really made him uncomfortable, "Bai Yan, we still have Can you go out?"
"Of course." Xiao Baiyan comforted him softly, and then went to ask Anan brother about his illness. Those little colored pills from the world, just a little bit, can really cure his illness?
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help feeling a little shy. The pills that were usually just the right size in their hands were completely shrunk to several levels in Xiao Baiyan's hands, as if they had become a product of Lilliputian, which was extraordinarily funny.
"The time is short now, but it can be controlled. If there is an effect, increase the dosage a little bit," the doctor waiting in the live broadcast room reminded, "There should be no drug resistance in his body, and it is easy to eat too much. something went wrong..."
"It is still necessary to take care of the body. In fact, tuberculosis is not so easy to infect. It is because people are too tired and their immunity is weakened. If the body is always healthy, there will be no problem."
"Yes, so Zai Zai must take care of his body."
Xiao Baiyan responded one by one, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Anan's condition in the cubicle had improved. At this time, Wan Ding was lying on the door looking out, and found a few scattered people, braved the heavy snow and walked out of the town .
Heavy snow has already blocked the road outside, and a large mountain has to be climbed. It is indeed not an easy task to go out in such an environment.
"What are they going to do?" Wan Ding asked curiously, "It's too cold outside, and the snow mountain will collapse, so they can't get out."
Ah Bei was squatting in the corner, his black eyes were watery, as if soaked in snow, he said softly: "I'm going to chop firewood, in such cold weather, if the charcoal and firewood are cut off at home, they will be killed." Frozen to death."
"Abei, do you still have charcoal at home?" Xiao Baiyan asked.
Ah Bei nodded, and replied: "Yes, my brother saved it in the past, and there are many more, but there is not much food... only some pears left in fermented rice."
Ah Bei felt a little guilty when he said that, and quickly turned his head away. In fact, there was still some rice left at home, but he wanted to keep it for his brother to eat, so he had to lie to them.
"It's okay, I can ask my friends to help bring some food," Xiao Baiyan said, "But there's no way the snow will pile up like this, it will seal the town..."
While Xiao Baiyan was talking, there was a sudden loud noise in the distance, which was especially ear-piercing in the silence of the snow. The men who were trying to get out of the town just now rushed back, worrying: "It's the house, the house has collapsed... I have long said that such a house is not strong, and if the heavy snow doesn’t stop, no matter how good the house is, it won’t be able to withstand it.”
Some people suggested: "Let's clear the snow first when you go back. It's a trivial matter if the house leaks snow, but if the house collapses, you have to build it again..."
"Damn it, when will this snowstorm end? It's almost summer, God really won't give me a way out..."
"There's not enough food, so we'll just wait for the snow to melt and come out of the mountain in early spring. That's good, the snow has started again."
"There's not much prey left in the mountains, those who froze to death and starved to death... hey..."
Even though the snow on the streets of the town has been cleared once by the people, there is still a thick layer of snow on both sides of the road, and the farther away that no one has cleared is completely white, and the thick snow can completely Confining them, if an adult man is trapped in it, it will be very difficult to walk.
The audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene, and miraculously fell silent.
If we say that with the advent of the new century, so many scientific research talents have invested in research, and the improvement of varieties from generation to generation has made them no longer worry about famine, and the accumulation of generations has also given them confidence in solving flood disasters, then still What bothered them so much was the overwhelming and helpless chill.
Both City A and City B belong to the north, with obvious seasonal changes, and snow often falls in winter. The auspicious snow a year ago could bring a bumper harvest to the crops, but if the snow is too heavy, the crops in the field will also be frostbitten.
Nowadays, few people use coal for heating anymore, but home appliance heating is certainly convenient and green, but after the power is cut off, it is the real despair of winter.
No matter how big a snow disaster occurs, with the convenience of information, all parts of the world will help each other. However, for the ancients with no information, a snow disaster that does not know when it will stop is likely to be the chief culprit that wiped out a village or even a dynasty.
"You can't go out in this kind of weather. If you encounter an avalanche outside, it will be over."
"Even if there is no avalanche, accidents are easy to happen when going up the mountain in such weather. If there is an accident, the only way is to freeze to death."
"It's a small town anyway, even if the traffic is blocked, we can always help each other get through it, right?"
"..."
The audience in the live broadcast room were a little confused. They could help with food reserves, but they could find very few things like charcoal fire now, unless it was the honeycomb coal used in the village.
A while ago, the modernization of rural areas was encouraged, and even honeycomb briquettes were rarely available.
A house not far away collapsed, someone was calling for help, and the surrounding people had already gone to help. From a distance, Xiao Baiyan saw a thin woman pulled out of the snow by the crowd, her cheeks were red from the cold, and she was wrapped in a quilt and crying softly. .
The surrounding people also showed mournful expressions, and their eyes turned red. They finally survived this cold and unbearable winter, but when spring came, they fell into despair.
"The grain store is empty, and the charcoal has been sold out for several days. Where else can we find it?" The people whispered, trying to find a way out of the predicament. Go ask Master Wang? Even if you go to Master Wang’s house to be a long-term worker and sell yourself as a servant, it’s better than freezing to death here... and Master Wang is a very nice person, but there are more aunts.”
"Let's go try it? Butler Li's family is not bad, they will always say a few words for us..."
Xiao Baiyan heard Steward Li's name from it, and remembered what the hanged ghost said before, and wanted to follow him to see him, and remind him a few words by the way, so as not to be reduced to the same fate as before.
He should cherish his tongue very much.
Xiao Baiyan didn't bring Wan Ding there, and followed behind many people by himself. When they knocked on the door, he saw Steward Li.
Butler Li said with a cold face: "What are you doing here? Go out, it's so cold, you can't let people sleep well? Didn't you see it's still snowing outside? Get out!"
"Housekeeper Li, please help us. We really have nothing to do. There is no charcoal fire at home, and the food is cut off. If we continue to suffer like this, we may freeze to death..."
Butler Li said impatiently: "Huh, can we run out of food? The food and charcoal in the town have already been wrapped up by the master. Who doesn't stock up in this weather? You should go quickly and go home to hide." It can save some charcoal, but I can't save you."
He said he was about to close the door, but the people outside had reacted and said angrily: "No wonder the charcoal shop and the grain shop are all empty. It turned out that Wang Dahu swallowed them all. It's good for him to stock up like this, but we are still alive." dead?"
"That's right, how can this be? Isn't this forcing us to die?"
"No! You can't go like this, you can't let them go!"
"We can't live, and he can't live either..."
Bai Yan was always on the outermost layer. He wanted to squeeze in, but was squeezed out by the people pushing and shoving. Half of his body was buried in the snow, and his little face was red from the cold.
"Quickly stand up, Zai Zai, and pat off the snow on your body, or it will be even colder when the snow melts."
"It's not an option to keep making trouble like this. What's going on with the Wang family, isn't it too heartless?"
"Who doesn't think about me? The Wang family is not kind, but they also want to live a few more days..."
"The hanged ghost really got into trouble this time, how could the Wang family spare him?"
Xiao Baiyan asked worriedly: "Will something happen to the hanged ghost?"
"It is very possible that in this kind of disaster year, he released the news of the Wang family hoarding grain and charcoal. It will definitely make Master Wang dissatisfied. It depends on how Master Wang handles it..." Chen Ye was a little helpless, even if he just looked at the news on the screen. He felt cold all over his body and couldn't help turning up the temperature in the room, "Zai Zai, don't stay here. There are many servants in the Wang family. These people can't make a fuss. You can find someone in the Wang family." There is no back door, so sneak in and take a look."
Xiao Baiyan also had this intention, and walked around the Wang family's house for a few times, but he didn't find the back door, but found a dog hole outside the courtyard wall, which was just big enough for him to get through, and the audience in the live broadcast room was about to stop this Such a disgraceful act, the little guy has already passed through the courtyard wall and entered the backyard.
Everyone: ... All right, it's all doors anyway.
A group of family members passed by in a hurry, Xiao Baiyan quickly hid, he thought for a while, made a formula to set up a blindfold on himself, and then followed lightly.
"Butler Li, the master said, if you are not kind, don't blame him for being unrighteous. The Wang family has taken care of you father and son for so many years. You will avenge your kindness and our master will not tolerate you..."
"The master also said, lest you have to talk nonsense when you get down there, he simply solved the trouble for you..."
Steward Li's face changed drastically, and he turned around to run, but was firmly held down by several servants, and a hemp rope was wrapped around his neck. Just as he was about to exert force, a red flame burst out from the snow. It burned towards several people as if consciously.
"Quick! Put out the fire!"
"Extinguish the fire!"
"Oops, what kind of fire is this, it can't be extinguished!"
The servants were in a hurry, and Xiao Baiyan took the opportunity to grab Butler Li and run outside, but at this moment, Butler Li just felt creepy.
There was nothing in front of his eyes, but his big hand was firmly held by someone, and he couldn't break free. Thinking of the will-o'-the-wisp just now, Steward Li's face turned pale instantly.
"I, I... am I dead?" Butler Li burst into tears, "I still have ten taels of silver hidden, and I still have my good wine in the cellar, and Mrs. Li in the backyard is still waiting for me to give it to you." She is sending charcoal to hold her little hand... woo woo woo woo, I don't want to die..."
"You're not dead." Xiao Baiyan said.
Such an immature voice came out of nowhere, butler Li closed his eyes for an instant, and passed out completely.
The little devil's life...it really is true!
