Chapter 20: Self-diligence and less sin

The bleak blue sky, the miserable white morning sun, the howling cold wind. After Su Wu stood in front www.biquge.info of the tent and watched the two officials beat their horses away, his heart suddenly dropped to the freezing point. Although he had anticipated and prepared for hardships and hardships, he couldn't help but shiver when he thought that he would have to face the long bone-chilling and uninhabited wilderness alone in the future. He wrapped his robe tightly and walked into the tent.

It was warmer inside the tent than outside, but the cold wind tore the tent apart. In the past few days here, I don't feel like I have someone to eat and live with, but now I have to face all this alone, and I am stunned. At that moment, a gust of wind swept up the tent and struck him in the face with the frozen ground around the tent. He threw himself at the tent and was taken to the ground despite the pain, but the tent was not swept away, but the sheepfold around the branches next to the tent was blown off by the wind, and the sheep were so frightened that they screamed in the cold wind.

Su Wu didn't care about the sheep, and clung to the tent tightly. This is my home here, otherwise I will freeze to death. Half an hour later, the wind stopped when it was tired. He struggled to his feet. Pounding his stiff waist, he looked at the collapsed home and the frightened sheep, and muttered: "I can't be cowardly, I must find a way to live!" They said that I am a man of God, and since I am a man of God, I have a way to build a home......

His mind suddenly reflected the image of himself imprisoned in the cellar...... Yes, dig a cellar to keep warm! He took out the buried food in the tent and covered it, and drove the sheep to a sheltered place under the slope and circled them. Pick up the shovels and shovels left by the errand officer, and dig them up under the slope. The hammer fell on the frozen ground, and as soon as a white mark was accumulated, the pain of the tiger's mouth could not move the ground even a single hair. What to do...... Yes, fire and water are incompatible, and fire is used to deal with freezing.

Su Wu put the machete on his belt and walked into the woods in front of him with a scepter in his hand, picked up and picked up the branches one by one, piled up a large pile along the slope, and lit the fire chain with a fire chain...... And it worked. After the large pile of branches burned, more than two feet of permafrost on the ground opened. He struck while the iron was hot, picked up the shovel and shovel, and dried. Most of the soil here is black and yellow, and it is easy to dig after the frozen layer is gone.

Hungry, he eats something and continues to work...... When it was dark, he lit a bonfire to illuminate it, until he dug one side of the slope into a gap as wide as a tent more than a foot deep, and a man managed to prop up the tent in it, and cut a few trunks with thick bowls to carry them back, and put them on both ends of the slope wall to protect the top of the tent, and put branches on top of it, like a house in his hometown, and pressed the top layer of soil, so that the tent house was built that was both windproof and cold-proof.

In the light of the campfire, he looked at his masterpiece and was very pleased. He moved the frozen clods of earth and put them in front of the tent, drove the sheep that were shivering and bleating into the tent, threw some hay in front of them, and froze the hungry sheep and ate them.

After Su Wu blocked the tent door from the inside with a piece of wood, he pulled open the felt mattress and lay down. Although his body was very tired and tired, he didn't want to move after lying down, but his mind was awake and he couldn't sleep. He thought that thanks to the fact that he had lived with his father, who was the Taishou of Daijun, he often dealt with the Hu instructors, learned many Hu people's living habits, and learned the ability to deal with things and live independently...... Today's busyness kept me from freezing to death...... Tomorrow I will cut some branches and earth and build a thick wall in front of the door, and make the nest around the ground well, and make a circle for the sheep beside it...... Thinking about it, I gradually fell asleep.

The next day, the weather was overcast and the wind was not very strong. He got up early and worked all day and completed the task as planned. In the evening, the sky changed, the wind howled, and the snowflakes flew down on the ground like sheets.

Su Wu set up a clay pot in the house, cooked himself a meal of dried meat and stewed rice, and lay comfortably in the quilt after a full meal, secretly glad that he was really diligent and not guilty......

This kind of wind and snow raged for two days and two nights, and the snow was more than four feet thick. Su Wu had never seen such a thick snow and bitter cold. He thought that it was no wonder that the severe snow and cold in the northern Hudi could cause heavy casualties to people and animals...... You must take care of your body and live. He divided the grain into equal portions according to the ration of one meal a day, and tried to eat as sparingly as possible. And I have to find something to do......

The two messengers, Yu and Juwu, returned to the Ding Ling Mansion in Hala and Lin at the original time to pay their errands, and came back just to send Su Wu to the place. Wei Lu wore a mink hat and a wolfskin robe, looked at the thick snow around Hala and the forest, and listened to the whirring cold wind, and his heart was very comfortable: I call you Su Wu Niu, can you survive the long cold and snow of the desert? Can you survive the fear and loneliness of being uninhabited?

This year, the severe cold in Hudi arrived very early, and the wind and snow were more severe than in previous years. In the past two months, news of the death of people and animals has been reported from the fiefdoms of the kings, and it has spread in the capital of Hara and Lin, and yesterday more than 100 livestock of 20 people in Jiankun froze to death, and today Ding Ling and 30 people and more than 200 livestock froze to death......

When the Fuqu brothers and sisters heard the news, although they were not worried about any disasters and losses to their relatives and property, they were worried about Su Wu's life. How is Brother Su doing now in the wild land of Beihai, can he hold on in the ice and snow where the wind is raging...... The most anxious is Frustrated Meiga. Since sending Su Wu away that day for nearly two months, her heart seems to have been taken away by him, and she is always absent-minded in doing things. The patient was decocted many times, and the overflowing potion extinguished the fire. She admired his personality and his integrity...... Now that I think about it, I fell in love with this big brother Su, which is a feeling I have never had for any man in the seven or eight years since her husband's death...... She held the whole Codonopsis in one hand, and sliced the stump with a knife in the other, and stopped in a daze as she cut her hands.

Yu Weilan, who was wrapped in a scarf on his head, dressed in a sheepskin cotton robe, and wore sheepskin gloves on his hands, pushed the door in, and she didn't notice it. Her hands were dangling in front of her eyes, and she was still unconscious. She shook her: "Auntie!"

She came back to her senses: "Oh! Erlan is here!"

She sat on the contrived mat next to her and smiled and asked, "Auntie, what are you thinking?"

She shook her head: "No, what do you think!"

"You're a liar!" Yu Weilan mischievously, "I guess you're thinking about your sweetheart!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" she said with her head bowed to the party ginseng, "who can I think of!"

"You want to be an envoy of Su!"

"If you want to say that you want to say that you want to, how did you talk about my head!"
