Chapter 20: The Death of Frost and Winter

"Hoo ......"

With a breath of air, this hot air took away the warmth in the body, dissolved into an ice mist in the cold wind, and dissipated in the wind very quickly.

No amount of heat caused by the ice and fog can be blinded by the wind and snow brought by this frosty winter.

The frost and winter are coming, frozen for thousands of miles, and all things are destroyed.

When the people in the north of Youzhou faced the sudden cold winter, they didn't have much means to resist, even if they had already felt that this winter seemed to be strange a few days ago, and the sudden drop in temperature far exceeded the trend they were used to in previous years, but they had no way to choose to leave this land, they were born here, grew up here, even if they wanted to go, where could they go?

It's not that they haven't heard the legend of the Frost and Winter, it was a story that happened in this land a long time ago, it was the great catastrophe experienced by their ancestors, it was the last Xiaoice period, the ice spread, the boundless wind and snow, the world will be completely white as the main color, and in this white frost winter, life will wither, everything will be frozen, life will be extinct, between heaven and earth, only wind, snow and ice.

Only a lucky few survived the catastrophe, and everyone wished they were the lucky ones, but everyone knew they wouldn't be the lucky ones.

They can only hope that this time it will only be an early winter, not a snow that means death.

But now that the frost and winter have come, the unbearable frost, the wind and snow, and the cold are already pronouncing death on them.

They are the people of the northernmost border of Youzhou, and they are also the first people to collide head-on with this catastrophe.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Gongsun Zhan has given up the pursuit of the Xianbei people, because according to his experience, the losses of the Xianbei people in the face of this cold winter must be very large, and there is no need for him to attack, plus the various losses that Xianbei suffered in Hezhou and Youzhou before, if the Xianbei people did not deal with it well during the Xiaoice River period and successfully went south, then they would basically be on the verge of extinction.

This is not an exaggeration, if a large ethnic group with a population of millions has only a hundred or so thousand people left after a great catastrophe, scattered on the vast and lonely snowy fields, then this nation has basically become another souvenir under the wheel of history.

After receiving Liu Bei's reminder, Gongsun Chan stationed in Liaodong and Lelang nearby, and basically hit Sanhan's territory, which is close to the coast, although it will still be affected by this wind and snow, but there is still some storage here, as long as you hide in the house and don't come out, you can still withstand it, of course, Gongsun Chan can't imagine that even the sea surface has been oppressed by this wind and snow, and the sea surface has become ice.

Hiding in the house, hiding in the tall city walls, relying on the city walls to block the wind, to support the people of the county and county, this is what the people of the county and county can do, and they can wait for the arrival of the snow control officials, and there is a new policy that gives them hope to continue to persevere.

But.

What about the villages and towns that are far away from the towns?

They don't have tall walls, they don't have thick walls, they don't have enough heating resources, what kind of fate will they have in the face of this catastrophe?

"Whew! Call! ”

Chen Chen woke up suddenly from his sleep, he exhaled heavily, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he pulled the silk bedding on his body, felt the warmth, as well as the aromatherapy and heater in the house, and now the temperature in this room is still quite warm, so that people can walk around the house at will in single clothes.

"What's wrong with the young master?"

A concerned inquiry made Chen Chen's consciousness return a little.

Turning his head, the grass lying on the bed rubbed his hazy eyes, got up and held Chen Chen's hand to care for him.

"It's okay, it's just a nightmare."

Chen Chen shook his head and let out another breath.

"Then I'll rub it for you."

Cao'er gathered her somewhat loose sleeves, sat down on Chen Chen's back, let Chen Chen lie down on her knees, and gently massaged his temples by herself.

But now it is a little different from when she was young, Chen Chen's breathing hit the plump part of the grass, making her feel a little itchy, her body trembled slightly, and her hands that pressed Chen Chen's temples trembled slightly.

"Cao'er, you said that the people in the mountains, if they encounter this snowstorm, will they survive?"

Chen Chen closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked Cao'er this question.

This diverted Cao'er's attention, causing her movements to pause and forget about her body's sensitivity.

Every time the young master asks a question, he cares very much, because he knows that the young master also cares about himself, if he doesn't answer well, the young master will have trouble sleeping, sleep badly all night, and find out where his own problem is.

In fact, there is no problem with the young master, he just wants to be self-defeating.

This question, I can't lie to the young master, after all, the young master's resourcefulness is also one of the best in the world, how could his clumsy lies deceive him, but he must be tactful, and he can't let the young master blame himself for not saving the people, so it seems that this is not a good question to answer.

"People live in their hearts, and the wind and snow are nothing more than the suffering of the world, and this wind and snow is also a test for everyone in this world. Those who are capable take refuge themselves, show their spare strength, and how many people in the world can be saved, all of them are fate. Even if its roots are as thick as a net, and its top is as green as a canopy, it cannot protect all things. Lao Dan said, one life is two, two is three, three is everything, all things are innumerable, how can there be a number to save innumerable. Meritorious service is the grace of non-responsibility, and excessive is the loss of duty. The young master is the mastermind of one party, not the world of the other, the mastermind is plotting things, and the world is plotting people, which cannot be said in the same day. Now, does the young master think that the people in the mountains can survive this snowstorm? ”

Cao'er groaned for a moment, and the force in his hand became heavier, making Chen Chen's tense muscles more soothing.

But what soothed Chen Chen even more was Cao'er's words.

But everyone is growing, not only is he becoming more and more omnipotent, just like Cao'er is no longer the cute little maid who didn't know how to express her heart at the beginning, but could only say "As long as the young master is safe, Cao'er's current world is stable". She is now a mature and intellectual pillow person. Yan'er is not the caged girl who was afraid and mourned at the beginning, and now she can also give advice and solve problems for herself.

Think about it again, Yang Ming is now also the leader of the water army, and after Qingzhou wades in the water, it is estimated that he will change his name to the commander of the dark department, and he can also stand alone and enlighten himself.

Although Uncle Chen's sense of existence has always been very low, it is the biggest guarantee for his family, and it is also the reason why his mother ran from Taiyuan, and he didn't even inform his father, but only left a letter at home and ran away.

Feng Xiao is no longer a mere military strategist in his impression, and now he is also a pillar of the military and political all-round.

In fact, time flies quickly, everyone is changing, but Chen Chen himself is always in a trance because of the dreamy sense of being a person in two lives, and he feels that everything is the same.

The Frosty Winter Death made him face the worries and fears of being a mortal.

I also suddenly deeply felt the changes and growth of the people around me, as well as their care.

"I've been enclosing myself, Yang Ming said it last time, but I didn't expect that I forgot about it in just a few days."

Chen Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, he reached out and grabbed Cao'er's thin waist, put his face on Cao'er's body, and rubbed it gently.

"But my good grass now understands very clearly, and the literary style and philosophy in those words just now are better than countless empty scientists who can only chatter now."

"But I underestimated you before, the grass is so big... Club! ”

Cao'er knocked Chen Chen's back a few times with a red face, but this guy was still clinging to it with a dead face, but this could let him be light.

Play to play, trouble to trouble, Chen Chen also wrote it down in his heart.

After all, the frost and winter death that woke him up, that terrible dream, seemed to be a portent, and when he went to see Xuande Gong tomorrow, he had to mention this dream.
