Just after the cold solar term, in this period of more than a week, the temperature dropped suddenly, except for evergreen trees such as pines and cypresses, all the trees with leaves fell overnight, and Fang Ning's family had just dragged a cart of honeycomb coal back from the town and stacked it neatly in the cellar.

Some people have begun to notice this abnormal weather situation, and smart people have begun to prepare in advance to buy supplies for the winter, while some people are still waiting and seeing.

The calendar turned page by page, and there was no trace of animals in the old woods, thousands of mountains and birds flew away, and thousands of people disappeared.

The temperature is also dropping day by day, and people are already starting to panic.

On the 24th day of the first lunar month, in the morning.

It began to snow heavily from around 11 p.m. on the 23rd, and through the glass windows, you could see the goose-feather snow falling outside, getting denser and denser, and the ground was covered with a layer of snow marks. The white dog barked wildly in the wind and snow, but the moon in the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the snow, through the reflection of the moonlight, it could be seen clearly at night, with a creaking door, a figure in a raincoat broke in, and then the electric light illuminated the floor.

At this time, there is really a bit of the smell of the dog barking in the chaimen, and the smell of returning to the people on a snowy night.

Fang Jiefang was wearing a raincoat, shaking off his snow marks, his eyebrows and beard were dyed white by the wind and snow, and there was exhaustion in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Fang Ning and Fang Wei hurriedly came out to open the door, he urged his sister to make brown sugar ginger soup to ward off the cold for his grandfather, and at the same time asked, "Grandpa, how is the situation in the village?"

Fang Jiefang untied the raincoat and hung it on the wall of his house, put his hand into the hot water basin brought by his grandmother, let the hot water suck away his cold, then put a hot towel on his face, and finally drank the ginger soup sent by his sister, until his whole body was warm, and then said: "Hongjia Village, Wangpoling, Hengping, Dazhou, several villages near here have been without water and power, I just took a few people to check the power lines in our village, fortunately they were not crushed by the thick snow." ”

He looked up at the heavy snow falling under the night, and his mood was extremely heavy, "But looking at it like this, it is estimated that the water and electricity in our village will not last tomorrow at the latest!"

This is not intimidating, but he took the village electrician to observe carefully, such a large amount of snowfall, only need the next night to crush the wires, and at the same time, the water supply in the village depends on the two wells in front of the village gate, because it is a living spring, it will be hot in winter, so there is no need to worry about freezing, as long as people like Fang Ning's family live on the top of the mountain, or live in a slightly remote place, they all rely on pumping water, and in this extremely cold low temperature, the water in the water pipe will be frozen, so the family will also have a problem drinking water.

Fang Ning said confidently, "Grandpa, don't worry, I can't guarantee the water for other people's lives, but our family's water is still fine." ”

At this time, the master came from the west room and told the grandfather that there was an old well next to the vegetable garden on the left, which was originally dry, and with the help of a few people, the spring was dug again, and after cleaning the silt at the bottom of the well, a sweet mountain spring flowed out, and no matter how cold the weather was, it would not freeze.

Besides, Fang Ning had already asked his grandmother to fill three large plastic buckets with water, which was enough for a family of six or seven people to live for more than a week.

Fortunately, all the black goats of Fang Ning's family were sold, so they didn't have to bear the drinking water problem of so many livestock.

There was nothing to say all night, Fang Ning and his sisters were a little worried about the safety of their parents, their grandfather called, but fortunately, they dialed through, and they reported their safety to Fang Ning in the mountains of Yuezhou.

It's a pity that it snowed a day earlier than Fang Ning's side, and now the snow is covering the mountain, and I can't leave if I want to, so I can only stay at my grandmother's.

Early the next morning.

Fang Ning hadn't gotten up yet, and in a daze, she was suddenly awakened by Fang Wei's shouting, "Brother, brother, come out and see the heavy snow!" she shouted at Fang Ning outside.

Fang Ning instantly remembered the snow last night, the terrible snowstorm did not stop all night, he was worried for half a night, he really couldn't hold on, so he fell asleep in a daze, at this time, he didn't care about the shoes he hadn't worn, he jumped up from the bed with a "whoosh", rushed out of the bedroom to take a look, only to see a white expanse outside, the bamboo forest and vegetable garden were all covered with snow, and the whole world became a world of ice and snow!

The eaves of the old house are all hung with icicles.

Fang Wei wore a red cotton coat, stood in the yard and rubbed his hands to exhale the heat, and said to Fang Ning, "Brother, you see that the ice picks on the eaves of our house are simply scary, as thick as their thighs!"

Fang Ning looked up a few times and felt a little terrifying.

These ice picks are afraid that they weigh more than ten kilograms! Because their family has only renovated the house not long ago, the beams and houses can afford it, like the west room of the master's house, which was originally an old house, and has not been renovated.

Fang Ning put on cotton clothes and shoes and walked out, stepping on the courtyard, only then did he realize that the white on the ground was not snow, but hard ice, like a smooth mirror.

Then Fang Ning found an extremely serious problem, there was a water and electricity outage at home!

Fang Wei rolled her eyes in disbelief, ran to the bedroom and pulled the light, screaming that the power was really out!

"Brother, Da Mao, Xiao Mao, come and see the village!" Fang Wei called them over.

"OMG!!"

Standing on the hillside, they could see the village, and as far as the eye could see, the land was white, the farmland and houses in the village were covered with a thick layer of snow, the fish ponds were covered with a thick layer of ice, and the village was full of dumped power poles, high-voltage wires and cables crushed by snow, and a tricycle that overturned on the side of the road.

The chestnut trees and pear trees on the hill behind the village chief's house are only the tops, and the abrupt trunks of the trees point to the sky.

The thick snow bent all the bamboo forests on the edge of Fang Ning's old mansion, and the cracked bamboo poles were cold air, completely devastated by the storm.

"Wow!"

The white dog drove a few hens to run around in the bamboo forest, and the chickens flew and tossed like dogs, touching the cracked bamboo poles, and the snow poured down.

"Wang ......," the white dog wailed, and was smashed into the snowdrift and disappeared.

Fang Ning's children ran over to help, but they didn't expect patches of snow to fall, and three or four bamboo poles suddenly exploded and crackled, making them tremble in fear.

Fortunately, the snowdrift exploded violently, and a white shadow jumped out of it, and the white dog ran out with a dirty face, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail vigorously to please Fang Ning and them, looking heartless.
