Chapter 42: It's Snowing
I don't know if it's because of the tragic fate of that pioneer officer or the direction of Anguo, I dreamed of the crown prince. I dreamed that he was reaching out to me, and the towering palace behind him was eerie and frightening, but suddenly it became my home, the home that I hadn't been back to for a long, long time.
When I woke up from the dream, I found myself in tears. It was already dark, and Xiao Chuan was looking at me.
"Sister, what did you dream about?" Xiao Chuan asked softly when she saw me wake up.
"I dreamed of my home. "I choked up a little.
"When next spring comes, we can continue north. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiao Chuan looked at the sky, got up to make up, and then opened the window, at this time, she turned back to me and smiled, "Sister, it's snowing!"
As soon as I heard that it was snowing, I didn't want to get up, so I shrunk into the quilt again, and Xiao Chuan came and said: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this first snow is so big, the next year will be a bumper harvest!"
"It's almost the New Year. ”
"It's still early for the New Year, my sister is getting up, I want to go out for a walk!" Xiao Chuan grabbed me and was very excited.
"Okay, well, actually, I refuse to get up. ”
Lazily moved her body and got dressed and got up, Xiao Chuan combed her fairy bun three or two times, and brought breakfast, I looked at her busy appearance and wanted to laugh a little: "You like snow so much?"
"Of course I loved it, what a clean thing the snow is. I should enjoy the snow as soon as possible, I am afraid that the snow will melt when the sun comes out. ”
Pushing open the door, Xiao Chuan ran out, I followed her, watched her pick up a pile of snow, and asked, "Are you cold?"
Xiao Chuan put down the snow in his hand, looked into the distance and said, "It's not cold." Now there should be a feast in the palace to worship the snow. ”
"Sacrificial snow?"
Xiao Chuan nodded and said: "It has always been a custom in the palace to sacrifice snow, and at this time, the ladies in the palace will embroider a small blessing bag to hang at the door of their palace, in order to bring auspicious luck to Ruixue." ”
"It's a lot. I sighed, "Now, if we are not in the palace, we should not be so particular." Do you know how to build a snowman?"
"Building a snowman?" is it a person made of snow?" Xiao Chuan really doesn't know what it means to build a snowman.
"Come, look at me. I made a ball of snow in my hand, "Just make this snowball bigger, like I did." ”
"It's that simple?" Xiao Chuan looked curious, and also crouched down to make a snowball like me.
At this time, Xiao Tianli came over and said, "What are you doing?"
"Build a snowman. I looked up at him, "Where is Young Master Xiao going?"
"It's snowing, come out for a walk. He also crouched down, "Your hands will freeze so far." ”
I looked at my red hand, smiled at him, and said, "It's out of the way." ”
"How to build a snowman, I'll help you. "He took the snowball from me.
I looked at the person in front of me, he would actually help me build a snowman? Is this still the Xiao Tianli I know?
"What do you think, do you think that's the case?" Xiao Tianli looked at the appearance of Xiao Chuntuan's snowball, and he also looked like a group.
"Young Master Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so fun-loving. Xiao Chuan smiled.
Xiao Tianli smiled, and I said to Xiao Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, don't say that. ”
Xiao Chuan obediently closed his mouth, and Xiao Tianli said, "What she said is quite right." ”
After a long time of snowballs, the snowballs were almost the same size, and I said to Xiao Chuan: "You roll your snowballs a little bigger, and I'll go find some branches and stones." ”
Xiao Tianli said: "I'll go with you." ”
We went to the gate of the village and picked up a few stones, and found two more dead branches with forks.
Xiao Tianli asked, "What do you want these for?"
"These are the snowman's eyes, nose, mouth, and hands. I laughed.
He smiled as well, "It's up to you to think about it." ”
When I got back to the house, Xiao Chuan's snowball was already very big, and I said, "Let's pile the snowman at this door." After saying that, I rolled the big snowball to the front of the house, and put Xiao Tianli's snowball on top of the big snowball.
Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "What a cute gourd!"
"It's a snowman, not a gourd!" I argued. From Xiao Tianli's hand, the stone was pressed into the snowball as eyes and nose, and the branches were inserted on both sides of the big snowball, "It's done!"
Xiao Chuan still smiled, and even Xiao Tianli smiled. Xiao Chuan said: "It's so cute!"
I said to Chuan, "The snowman is slow, we can keep the snow." ”
Xiao Tianli said: "If you like snow, there is a tiger temple on the top of the mountain, and there will be more snow nearby." ”
I pursed my lips and said, "If you don't go to the top of the mountain, if there is another trap, it won't be fun." With that, we laughed together.
Xiao Tianli said: "Where there are so many traps, if you want to go, just go out of the village and follow the path on the left to go uphill." ”
Xiao Chuan said: "The mountain is high and the road is slippery, let's not go." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go check when the snow melts." ”
Xiao Tianli said: "I'm going to train the troops tonight, there is no one else in the village except the guards, don't run around." ”
"Okay. "I promised him.
Xiao Chuan said: "We won't run around in the house, but why do you want to train at night?
I pulled Xiao Chuan and said, "Xiao Chuan, don't ask so much. Young Master Xiao, we went back to the house, and it was a little cold outside. ”
"Hmm. Xiao Tianli saw us enter the house, and I heard the sound of him stepping on the snow and leaving.
Back in the house, Xiao Chuan blamed himself: "I must have been stupid and asked so many questions that shouldn't have been asked." ”
"It's okay, just remember it later. Although this is a cottage, after all, it is the hiding place of the orphans of a country and his army, and I think that without the whole Tiger Mountain, it is not as simple as it seems to us. We don't have to know too much. ”
"Hmm. ”
