The first snow did not fall until the cold season this winter, and the lack of snowfall was not good for pests and diseases, but it was a good thing for the opening of the fields. In the winter of the south of the Yangtze River, it is generally not until after the snow will appear that the freezing intensity is not strong, and the impact of freezing will be minimized when the field foundation is rammed.

Taking advantage of the rare good weather before, Wu Liu and Qian Qiang's Zhuangzi had opened all the terraced fields that could be developed, and divided the terraced farmers in various places, and the settlement was mainly mixed, with one village and two surnames, one surname was the peasant households in the original village, and the other surname was matched with foreign refugees. When collocation, both parties are voluntary, and the two surnames are not forcibly promoted to settle in one.

Wu Liu's Zhuangzi was the first to start opening the field, and when the field was opened, the internal and external parties were harmonious, and they did not encounter too much trouble when they settled down, and everyone was together with good partners when they opened the fields.

Qian Qian's Zhuangzi encountered some trouble, and the previous conflict between the two parties made some people feel guilty. Qian Qian came to Wu Liu to discuss this issue, and Shen Miao reminded Qian Qian that since it was mainly voluntary, those who did not want to not only choose another place, but also go out of this village.

Qian Qian understood what Shen Miao meant as soon as he heard it, drafted the notice overnight, and posted it the next day. The above words are similar to what Shen Miao said, voluntarily settle down, and if you don't want to choose a place, you can also go out of the village.

Qian Qian's Zhuangzi is the richest one in the area, and neither the farmers in the village nor the displaced people are willing to leave. If you don't want to go, you can only put down the mustard and choose a new match.

The rest of the people's Zhuangzi, the opening of the field has not ended, but before their mountain opened, Shen Miao and Qian Qian made a plan to avoid the problem of wintering in the middle of the opening of the field to the greatest extent, so now the fields that have been opened have been completed.

The owners of these Zhuangzi approached Shen Miao and asked if they could let some people settle down first.

Shen Miao rejected their proposal, it is unfair to settle some people first, it will discourage the enthusiasm of those who have not settled, once the enthusiasm is blocked, the follow-up fields will be ugly, and the contradictions will expand. But it would be a waste to leave these fields empty, and to miss the winter wheat season and the next year's rice season.

Shen Miao then mentioned yì: Just like recruiting people to open fields, recruit people to cultivate and give a certain reward. After all the fields have been opened, they will start to choose a place to settle.

In this way, the hearts of the people of these estates have settled down a lot.

Xiaohan's snow began to fall from the fourth watch, first the snow, crackling on the eaves. Shen Miao heard the sound in a daze and moved.

Wu Liu immediately sensed it, hugged Shen Miao tightly, and said with a smile: "It's snowing, it should snow tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as he heard that it was snow, Shen Miao was excited, he liked snow the most when he was a child, but the El Niño phenomenon in his time was too strict, and it would take five or six years before a decent snow fell. Every time it snows, he looks at the sky from time to time, for fear that the snow will not be too big to accumulate, so when he hears this, he wants to climb out of the bed and push open the window to take a look.

Wu Liu hurriedly pressed Shen Miao: "You won't see anything, go out and be frozen, wait for tomorrow morning." ”

"Maybe it'll be gone tomorrow morning." Shen Miao tried to convince Wu Liu.

"Such a crackling sound, tomorrow morning must be heavy snow, my Zhuangzi is another outlet, when other Zhuangzi is only half a finger thick, I already have a finger." Wu Liu said, seeing that Shen Miao still wanted to get out of bed, he took extraordinary measures, grabbed Shen Miao, pressed each other sideways, and said in a low voice, "If you don't sleep at ease, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning." ”

Hearing this, Shen Miao already felt the heat somewhere, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'll sleep, sleep immediately." As he spoke, he closed his eyes, tomorrow is a rare snow scene, and it would be a great loss if he couldn't get out of bed.

Wu Liusui smiled, kissed Shen Miao lightly, and fell asleep in her arms.

Early the next morning, as Wu Liu said, it was a heavy snowfall, goose feather-like snowflakes fell one after another, snow began to accumulate on the eaves, and only water remained on the ground due to the frequent movement of people. In the distance, there were also people walking on the ridge in twos and threes, all of whom took advantage of the fact that the snow had not yet accumulated to check the wheat.

Xiaohua saw that Shen Miao went to the porch to see the snow as soon as she got dressed, so she hurriedly brought the cloak that she had taken out early in the morning, put it on Shen Miao, and stuffed a hand warmer for Shen Miao, and put a delicate cover on it to avoid burning her hands.

Shen Miao couldn't help but praise when she took it, Xiaohua was a little ashamed, changed the topic and said: "The young master told him before going out, let Gongzi Shao stand in front of the corridor on the second floor for a long time, it's cold here." If you really want to play in the snow, go downstairs to the patio to play. ”

Shen Miao hurriedly responded, the tuyere on a snowy day is indeed not suitable for standing for a long time, and it will cause headaches. He obediently withdrew to the house, and asked Xiaohua by the way: "Where did Wu Liu go?" ”

"The young master said that this snow must be heavy snow, and he was afraid that the mountain would be closed for half a month, and he was worried that Luo Gongzi on the mountain would lack food, so he took someone to send it in a hurry." Xiaohua replied.

Shen Miao nodded when she heard this, this is indeed an urgent matter, it will inevitably freeze after the heavy snowfall, and if the mountain road is frozen, it will be difficult to walk, and the food will not be delivered in time.

Just thinking about it, Duo'er rushed in from outside, smiled at Shen Miao and said, "Childe, childe, the snow on the beach outside has accumulated, let's go out and play." ”

Shen Miao agreed as soon as she heard it, but before she could say anything, Xiaohua spoke first: "On snowy days, you still go to play on the creek beach, have you forgotten the advice of the young master?" ”

"The young master only said to pay attention when letting Childe play, he didn't say that he wouldn't let him play in the snow." Doer retorted with a smile.

"But the young master didn't say that he should go to a dangerous place like the creek beach to play in the snow." Xiaohua glanced at Duo'er.

Duo'er was disappointed and muttered: "The creek beach is not dangerous at all, there is little water in winter, and it is impossible to fall into the water." ”

"There is no water, and there are big rocks, what if you slip down from it and fall?"

"I don't go to the big rocks, but the creek in front of the door, and there is only a small pebble over there."

"That's not going to work either."

"!!"

"Alright, alright." Seeing that the two little girls almost disregarded their friendship for their safety, Shen Miao hurriedly played a round, "I think so, compromise, I'll go out with Duo'er and pick a safe place to play, okay?" ”

Shen Miao's round obviously has a subtext, which means that he agrees to go out, and what kind of place to choose is safe, that is what he Shen Miao has the final say. Therefore, Xiaohua was still a little hesitant when she heard this, Duo'er looked at Xiaohua vigorously, silently begged Xiaohua to agree, and finally Xiaohua was helpless by Duo'er's little eyes, so she had to nod: "Okay." ”

"Great." Do'er jumped straight up with joy.

Xiaohua hurriedly added: "Remember, you can't go to dangerous places." ”

"Got it, got it." Duo'er said, pushed Shen Miao and went out.

Shen Miao was forced to walk forward quickly, turning her head and sneering as she walked: "It is said that the falling snow dog is happy, why are you happier than the dog?" ”

"Childe, don't worry about me, I've gone back to the place, and you're happier than me." Duo'er said with a smile, and took Shen Miao out of the inner hall and the outer hall, and went straight to the river beach.

The beach is exposed, the surface temperature is low, and in winter, the surface is dry, and no one comes, so there is a lot more snow on it than in ordinary places. Duo'er also picked a small and dense pebble, and as soon as the snow covered it, it was white and vast, without any blemishes, like a layer of cream on the flat ground.

Shen Miao immediately rushed down, and threw herself on all fours, it was so cool, and it was even cooler to roll again.

Duo'er laughed when he saw it, and look, the rhubarb next door reacted when he saw the snow.

Shen Miao knew what Duo'er was thinking at a glance, so she pinched a small snowball and threw it over: "Throw you a meat bun." ”

Duo'er hurriedly ran away, and said with a smile: "I don't fall for you." As he spoke, he pinched the snowball and threw it over.

The two of them threw back and forth, unguarded, a snowball volleyed into the air, and accurately hit the snowball that Shen Miao had just thrown, and the snowball was divided into two halves, half of which hit Shen Miao and half hit Duo'er.

Shen Miao and Duo'er were stunned at the same time, looking at each other, who is so powerful?

The two looked back at the same time, and saw Wu Liu riding a horse and standing on the river beach, the horse raised his horse's head and snorted, as if he was laughing at Shen Miao and Duo'er's inferior skills, and Wu Liu threw a snowball with his left and right hands alternately.

"It turned out to be the young master." Duo'er came back to his senses and immediately praised, "The young master is so powerful." ”

Shen Miao deliberately slipped his feet, and the moment he hit the ground, he quickly pinched two snowballs and threw them out with lightning speed, and shouted to Duo'er after throwing them: "Duo'er, go on, that guy actually dares to sneak attack from behind, get him off the horse quickly." ”

After listening to Shen Miao's words, he picked up two and threw them away, and Shen Miao also lost two more.

Wu Liu rode on the horse and easily dodged Shen Miao's previous two snowballs, and in the face of the four that were thrown later, he showed his body, jumped up from the horse easily, kicked the snowballs with his feet at will, and kicked the snowballs back one by one, one hit Duo'er, one smashed the snowball that flew later, and one ......

Wu Liu threw the snowball he was playing with, and the snowball hit the remaining snowball, but he didn't break it immediately, but pushed it to fly towards Shen Miao.

At the moment when she was about to hit Shen Miao, the snowball that had been hit before finally couldn't support it and scattered and cracked, and the rest went straight to Shen Miao's forehead.

A qiē happened in the blink of an eye, and Shen Miao only had a daze reaction. Just when he thought he was going to be hit, his body was suddenly pulled backwards and fell into a warm and familiar embrace, and the ensuing snowball was easily held by the person who pulled him.

"......" Shen Miao looked at this scene stupidly, it was Wu Liu who just pulled him, right? One second he was dodging snowballs and throwing snowballs, and the next second he was behind him.

"Do you dare to play Lost Snowball next time?" Wu Liu asked with a smile.

Shen Miao hesitated and nodded: "Play." ”

"Huh?" Wu Liu frowned.

Shen Miao smiled: "Next time, I'll be on the same team as you." ”

"Haha!" Wu Liu smiled heartily and hugged Shen Miao tightly, "Such a beautiful scenery is a bed on the ground, and it is hearty." ”

"Hey...... The little girl is there, are you still there? Shen Miao protested, but as soon as the words fell, there was a distant voice: "Lalala, I'll go first." ”

Shen Miaomo.

Wu Liu smiled even more happily, and Shen Miao had no choice but to say, "It's too cold, can you bear it?" ”

"Afraid of the cold? Okay, I'll take you to a place where it's not cold, you can cook wine around the stove, or you can ......" Wu Liu deliberately fought.

Shen Miao understood what he meant, but he did it in broad daylight, it seemed to be too frequent, so he said: "It's okay to cook wine around the stove and go to the front hall, the pavilion over there is very good." ”

"That place must have been occupied by your master, are you sure you can rob him?"

"......" Shen Miaomo, Luo Zhaozhi is extremely good at wine, not giving him wine is equivalent to asking for his life, cooking wine around the stove, which is the most enjoyable thing in the winter, if it is destroyed, Luo Zhaozhi will go berserk. The consequences of Luo Zhao's rampage are very severe......

That's Luo gluttony, as soon as it explodes, it will gluttonous you all day! Oh no, this kind of thing is by no means something that can be done by gluttony for a whole day, not a month, a year, a lifetime!!

"So come with me!" Wu Liuda picked up Shen Miao horizontally, performed light skills, stepped on the snow without a trace, and disappeared on the stream.

The two of them did not go far, but stopped at a huge overlap of streams and rocks. These overlapping rocks lay across the stream, and in front of them was a deep pool, and even in the winter when there was little water, it was full of dark and dreary people, so that no one dared to approach it at will.

Wu Liu jumped to a sheltered place behind the overlapping of streams and rocks, there was no snow on it, he put Shen Miao down and motioned for him to look inside.

Shen Miao looked at it according to her words, and there was a narrow space inside, not wading in the water, only for one person to pass through.

Wu Liu jumped down first, pushed it with his hand, and then motioned for Shen Miao to come down.

Shen Miao jumped down as he said, Wu Liu caught it, pointed to the dark hole in front of him, and signaled to enter. Shen Miao stepped in as he said, Wu Liu opened the fire fold and followed, and the entrance to the cave was closed immediately after the two entered.

In the cave is a very long road, only for one person to pass guò, walked about 200 steps, suddenly opened up, there is a faint water vapor gushing, with the smell of sulfur.

At the same time, there was a fork in the road at the front of the road, one end pointing to another dark road, and the other end was faintly bright.

Wu Liu took Shen Miao to the end where there was a faint light, and the more he went, the fewer traces of artificial excavation, the more abundant the water vapor, and the stronger the smell of sulfur, followed by the stuffiness, and Shen Miao, who was still dressed in snow and warmth, quickly took off his cloak.

At the end, Shen Miao finally knew the reason for the formation of this qiē. There is a natural hot spring here, and there is a gap in the top of the hot spring, so that the fresh air and the water vapor in it are alternated, making it not only not stuffy, but also very comfortable.

Shen Miao is very strange, according to geological inference, it is indeed possible to leave hot springs with frequent volcanic activity, but most of the marble rocks left behind after volcanic activity, and there are generally very few granite formations that can form karst caves. Thinking about it, Shen Miao looked overhead, and then was surprised to find that he was wrong.

He always thought that caves with hot springs were all karst caves, but in fact, this is not a karst cave, here is a huge rock formed by pressing on the mountain, just like the huge rock mass on the stream, but this rock mass is larger, and the part that □□ outside is probably full of plants.

Wu Liu didn't understand the professional knowledge in Shen Miao's mind, and seeing that Shen Miao was silent, he only knew that he was confused here. Then he said, "When you opened the first terrace, did you see a middle-aged misty bamboo mountain next to it?" ”

Shen Miao nodded, the bamboo mountain is not high in elevation, but it is cloudy and misty all year round, and there is a slight peculiar smell, and the mountain is full of bamboo, even the top of the mountain. When the local old man introduced it, he specially said that it was a place where people who had attained the Tao and practiced it, and only those who were destined could enter it to have a look. Shen Miao didn't believe in the words of the Taoist, but because the clouds and mist had not dispersed for a long time, he didn't go in for fear of getting lost.

"This is the place!" Shen Miao suddenly realized.

Wu Liu smiled and pointed to the top of his head: "The reason for the clouds and mist all year round is here, the bamboo on the mountain is specially planted, and it also brings some skills, and ordinary people can only go around the periphery when they go in." ”

Shen Miao nodded, the gas here is hot, and after it leaks out, it comes into contact with the cold air outside, naturally forming clouds, and the clouds formed later dilute the smell of sulfur, so there is only a slight smell in the air.

"Okay, don't think about it, it's important to get down to business." Wu Liu stuck to Shen Miao's back and hugged him from behind.

Shen Miao came back to her senses at this time, and she understood what it meant to do serious things in seconds, and she was rational to do less during the day, and how could she not do it if she had a hot spring, and finally leaned back decisively, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Wu Liu then began to move: "I've always wanted to bring you over, but the timing is always inappropriate, this will be right." ”

"Why?" Shen Miao was puzzled.

Wu Liuyi smiled: "I'll tell you later......"
