1. Sudden heavy snowfall
The weather in September, the day before was too hot to wear a single coat, and the overnight cold was terrible. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Before dawn, I heard the voice of the shopkeeper Sun Er's sister-in-law cursing the guy. Nine-year-old Cheng Linghui turned around in his father's generous embrace, met his father's eyes and said, "Are you going to go?" ”
A bearded man next to him said, "It's good to be able to walk down." Yesterday it snowed before midnight, and the snow flakes were as if they didn't need money. It didn't take long for it to be so thick. The man gestured, regardless of whether anyone looked at him or not.
"It's snowing?" Cheng Linghui sat up stiffly, and suddenly shivered coldly when she left her father's arms. Jumping down from the straw-covered Chase bunk, he shoeed and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a room full of old and young masters were dumbfounded. Overnight, snow covered the lintels. Only a glimmer of light could be seen through the crack in the door. I don't know who said, "No wonder it's always not bright." ”
Cheng Linghui had never seen such a heavy snowfall. The heart of the game is long gone, and he looks back at his father at a loss. A room full of old and young masters also subconsciously followed her gaze and cast their eyes on the man sitting on the bunk. For a moment, there was silence in the room. I only heard the howling of Sun's second sister-in-law.
Sun's second sister-in-law is also considered to be No. 1 in Shilipu. Her father was a pig killer. Hearing and seeing, Sun's second sister-in-law has a fierce spirit. The shopkeeper Sun, who opened the shop, took a fancy to this fierce spirit, and married this daughter-in-law to his son with a bride price of two taels more than others. Sun's second sister-in-law lived up to expectations, and gave birth to two big fat boys in less than two years. In the past ten years, the store has been prosperous. But there are no people who are in a hurry who don't know the shop of the Sun family in Shilipu.
Just when the old and young masters in the room looked at each other, Sun Erniang's voice came through the snow: "Is there anyone who can breathe?" Make a cavity. ”
I don't know who replied: "The guys are all fine." "The snow at the door collapsed with a bang. A small patch of clear sky is revealed.
Cheng Linghui jumped nimbly to avoid the snow pouring into the house. He quickly crawled up to his father and asked, "What should I do?" Can a mule freeze to death? The words are like a boulder thrown into the calm waters of the lake. The room was boiling......
"Damn, my livestock......"
Most of the people who live in this kind of chase shop are porters who make a living by pulling their feet. Livestock is the lifeblood of a family. If there is a good thing, the time of the family will not be able to pass. But now the snow is closed, and it's useless to be in a hurry. Acquaintances get together and figure out a way. There was a commotion in the room.
Cheng Linghui looked at her father. The father and daughter are single-minded, and there is nowhere to discuss with anyone at this stall.
Her father touched her head: "Don't be afraid. There's a daddy. As he spoke, he walked over to a few people gathered next to him and said, "It's not okay for us to be in such a hurry." It's better to go out and see the situation first. ”
A younger man said, "The doors are blocked, how can I get out?" ”
The father said: "Can a living person still suffocate urine?" Although the snow is heavy, it is not unprecedented. Let's all find a way out. If there is a length of the animal, it will be fatal. ”
An older man chimed in: "That's the only way it can be." ”
The rush under this heavy snowfall. There are very few people who have warm clothes. Everyone can only wrap the quilt in their luggage to keep out the cold. Take turns trampling on the snow. There are twenty or thirty people in a room, and it is easy to tread a solid path on the snow.
Cheng Linghui was mixed in the crowd of adults, and she didn't feel cold before and after running.
The path is flanked by walls of snow that rise above your head, and a clear blue sky overhead, which is also interesting. At this moment, the tenants of other rooms are also coming out in this way. The roads are connected, like snow-paved alleys.
The adults were anxious to see their livestock, and no one paid attention to when the dwarf Cheng Linghui was squeezed into the snow wall.
Cheng Linghui climbed out of the snow wall, ignoring the snow all over her body, and ran to the livestock shed following the footprints of adults. Suddenly, a hand grabbed the collar and lifted it back, and a woman's voice scolded: "What's the mess with the little rabbit cub? Looking for death? "It's loud and it's full of energy. Cheng Linghui's ears were buzzing.
"The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, you let me go." Cheng Linghui screamed with her hands and feet.
Second sister-in-law Sun let go of her hand and threw Cheng Linghui's small body on the ground. With his hands on the waist of the bucket, he glared and said, "I also hung the bag for the old lady." The old lady doesn't eat that. Go back to your room. Who's to blame if something happens? ”
Cheng Linghui was not discouraged and said: "I'm going to find my father, as well as my family's mule." ”
Sun's second sister-in-law said: "You fart kid is not as tall as a mule's butt, what can you do there?" So, I told the two ugly men to help. You burn a fire for me. ”
Cheng Linghui shook her head: "I don't, I'm going to find my father." ”
Second sister-in-law Sun glared and said, "If you don't go, you have to go." It's so cold, you're not thirsty, and your dad can't drink hot water? Your mules are not allowed to drink hot water? Go to the house and make a fire. My mother doesn't have time to grind her teeth with you. After saying that, he cursed: "This damn snow." "I went in the direction of the barn.
Cheng Linghui listened to her, and then went to the livestock shed.
The livestock shed in the Sun family's shop is in the backyard. Cheng Linghui is too small, she can only see a place in front of her that has been trampled on, and she can't see other places at all. The more this happens, the more panicked I become. Exclaimed, "Daddy, where are you?" ”
The barn collapsed under heavy snow, and the cattle were buried in the snow. Adults are busy looking for their own livestock, who has time to care about a child?
Cheng Linghui didn't find her father, and she was almost hit by a purlin lifted by others several times. I wonder if my father has gone back to the house. He turned over and walked back. She searched next to the guest room, but she didn't even see anyone. Finally, I arrived at the room.
A boy about his age in the room was burning a fire. The big iron pot on the stove was steaming.
Cheng Linghui suddenly seemed to see her relatives, and ran over and asked, "Have you seen my father?" ”
The boy said: "There are a lot of people coming and going here in a day, who knows which one is your father?" ”
Cheng Linghui said: "My father went to the livestock shed to find our mule. ”
"Oh." The boy threw a piece of wood into the fire and said, "Then you can wait here." Your dad will definitely come to you in a moment. As he spoke, he moved to the side: "Come and sit here, it's warm here." ”
Cheng Linghui sent down her shoes and pants were soaked with snow, and it was very cold on her body. So he walked over. Two children sit on a stool.
The boy said, "You stretch your legs forward, so that your shoes and pants can be dried easily." ”
Cheng Linghui stretched out her legs as she said. At this moment, there was a gurgling sound in the stomach. She touched her hungry stomach and looked at the boy, who was also looking at her and said, "I'm hungry too." You watch the fire here, and I'll get food. ”
Carriage and horse shops like the Sun family don't care about food. If you want to eat, you'll have to pay extra. And there are only cornmeal, sorghum flour, or heterozygous bread. A big money couple, if you like to eat, you can eat it, and you don't eat it. The hot water pipe is full in the morning, noon and evening, and it is outdated.
Although Cheng Linghui went out for the first time, the rules of the Sun family's shop had been heard for a long time. She had no money on her and said, "I'll just drink water." ”
The boy said, "Can you drink water?" ”
Cheng Linghui nodded: "Definitely can." My grandmother said that she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep once, and she stopped being hungry after drinking a scoop of cold water. ”
The boy thought for a moment and said, "Then let's try?" ”
The two of them worked together to push the wooden lid of the large iron pot through a gap. Take a gourd and scoop half a scoop of hot water that has not been boiled. You take a sip, I take a sip, and I'm full. The boy touched his stomach: "I'm really not hungry." ”
Cheng Linghui held her little belly and said, "I'm all drunk." "A slight shake, a sound of water in my stomach. Cheng Linghui said: "Listen, the water in my stomach is still shaking." ”
The boy put his ear on Cheng Linghui's stomach, and Cheng Linghui shook it again. The boy was pleasantly surprised, "Really." Do you hear if I am ringing? ”
The two strange children played together for a while. Forget all your troubles to the clouds. Cheng Linghui knew that the boy's name was Sun Xinglong, and he was the second son of Sun's second sister-in-law. The nickname is Erdanzi.
Sun Xinglong's elder brother studied in the county. I know a lot of words, but it's amazing. As for how powerful it is, it's not for the two little kids to know.
