The mountains are still the same mountains, and the snow is still the same snow. The appearance of the mountain has not changed much because of the people coming and going, at least the village has not changed except for the snow that has been pushed away with some wolf dung, except for the ice on the walls that has been sublimated to mottled to the ground, except for the traces of those wolf claws.

The caretaker and An Xiaoyu were holding two small shovels to shovel all the ice on the walls of the house, and leaving them on them would affect the temperature after all. Everyone else was doing the same thing, but their job was obviously much easier than Ann's.

When they first splashed the water, the ice on their houses was not evenly frozen, and their defense ability was indeed poor, but under the sublimation of these days, they can often get rid of a large piece with just a gentle shovel. But the caretaker's technique is so good that the ice is like glued to the wall.

The life of the ice layer is roughly like this, the surface of the ice begins to turn into water vapor, and the surface of the surface is loose, and the sublimation is accelerated because the surface disappears to reveal the cavity. Gradually, these first dents become hollows, revealing the wooden walls inside.

Because the texture of the wood is relatively loose and the temperature difference is small, the dark-toned wood absorbs more heat when it is exposed to the sun. So the ice near the wooden walls began to sublimate further due to these exposed holes.

Therefore, the uneven freezing of the ice layer in this process will create a lot of gaps between the ice layer and the wooden wall, which is the part left by the ice after sublimation. With a little force, the ice will be lifted off the wall like a pan in a frying pan.

Looking at An Xiaoyu and them, they have to use a mallet and an iron drill to make holes in the ice, so that the ice can be broken when the ice is opened, and the ice layer will be removed more easily. But neither of them felt tired, especially An Xiaoyu, who enjoyed the joy of breaking the ice.

Oh, Donghuang people!

Five days had passed since the werewolf had been eliminated by the pickets, and three-fifths of the time had passed since the snow season, and the mountain people had returned to the village before the New Year. There's nothing happier to spend the New Year at home, although they still have nothing.

But just having a home is enough.

An Xiaoyu is actually having fun in the bitterness, she also wants to go home for the New Year, but the administrator doesn't allow it, and she can't go back. She knew that this kind of life could not be interrupted, especially during the period when the pickets had just been established, once the news of An Xiaoyu's return to the imperial capital spread, she was afraid that she would not be able to leave.

In short, after telling her family that she couldn't come back from a business trip, she started her current job.

In fact, there is not much to find out about Adi's side, but many people are used to relying on An Xiaoyu. After the werewolf incident, many pickets knew about the urgency at that time, and the werewolves undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for them, not because they were invincible because they were cultivators.

The werewolf was finally executed, Zhong Huaran really did not appear in the report, and the picket team was angry with An Xiaoyu, and An Xiaoyu of course said that he knew. Because of the death of the werewolves, the wolves that ran out of the mountains fled one after another, and many of them died strong, and they could honestly return to the mountains.

So the periphery of the entire imperial capital gradually settled down, and after the military commission cleared the nearby mountains and forests, the good people applied to go home as soon as the incident was announced. No one in their village was sick, and after inspection, they were all allowed to go.

As for those who have not been cured because of the sick meat brought back by Chuanzi, they have all been sent to the epidemic prevention center in the imperial capital, and it seems that the imperial epidemic prevention center has something to do this New Year. As for Chuanzi's matter, it is a matter of discussion at a higher level, and even involves the new application of star energy.

The appearance of the werewolf can be said to be an accident, but in the eyes of a person like Xu Hewei, any accident is likely to be copied by technology. If you imagine being able to fuse two creatures together through the properties of star energy and combine the characteristics of two creatures, would it be possible to get milk from water?

In short, such an idea must have filled the heads of these scientists, but the amount of star energy is still limited after all, not enough for them to carry out super-large-scale experiments, so they can only simply make some guesses and try step by step.

An Xiaoyu shoveled down the last piece of ice on the wall, and the caretaker had already grabbed his antler bow from the side and was ready to go hunting. Then the sound of the wheels on the mountain road was heard, and the merchant came to the village with the goods, like rain in time.

The people of the village took out the money in their pockets, which they had used in the city, and what they had brought out of the village was sold in the town for money, and then there was a lot left because few people gave them the goods.

In the eyes of the mountain people, banknotes are the most useless things, because they rarely go down the mountain, and the merchants prefer to ask for their mountain goods, so it is better to use them as soon as possible while they are available now. As a result, a large number of New Year's goods brought by merchants began to sell well.

The administrator gave An Xiaoyu a look, An Xiaoyu understood, in the past, he wrapped up fireworks that no one wanted, and bought some daily necessities. After spending all the cash in his hand, he returned to the yard with a small two-wheeled cart.

The surrounding villagers were a little surprised that she bought these things, but thinking that An Xiaoyu was also a sensible child, especially the picture of stabbing the mountain wolf to death before was still in front of her, no one said anything. After everyone had bought their belongings, they dispersed, and the merchant knew that they had not yet gone out hunting, so he quickly left.

By the time An Xiaoyu cleaned up the messy yard, it was already night. The recent wind and snow are no longer so raging, as if taking care of the arrival of the beginning and end of the year, so it is exceptionally warm, the wind is not violent, and the snowflakes are like small cotton balls.

An Xiaoyu held the clay pot, sat on the rocking chair, looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, her heart was in a trance, and she always felt that there was something unreal. This unreality probably comes from the fact that the werewolf incident itself was not involved, but it was satisfactorily resolved.

But then she shook her head with a smile, leaned the whole person on the backrest, the rocking chair shook gently, the eaves blocked the snowflakes outside, and the flames in the fireplace had slowly risen, and the atmosphere was particularly warm and intoxicating.

Not long after, the caretaker returned to the village with his prey, and the two antelopes were dragged by his horns on the snow as if they had no weight. The rest of the family poked their heads out of envy, greeting the caretaker while staring up and down at the two sheep.

The caretaker took out a sheep and told the people in the village to divide it, and dragged the remaining sheep back to the house. At this time, the village has the taste of the New Year, and every family is preparing for the New Year the day after tomorrow. It didn't take long for the other young people to return home with a few prey on their faces.

After the wolves crossed the border, there were many fewer animals in the mountains. Many of the animals were swept away by the wolves, and many more fled after hearing the news and have not returned. After all, animals are certainly not as well-informed as humans, and they tend to find a new place to settle down again.

So hunting has become much more difficult, and An Xiaoyu doesn't know where the administrator can find two sheep, which is like a miracle in the current mountain forest. After the New Year, it is estimated that the village will be depressed for a while, until the time of spring's return.

After cleaning up the mutton at night, the caretaker took off his clothes and sat on the bed, the posture was familiar to An Xiaoyu. It's just that the current administrator has a book missing in his hand, An Xiaoyu is actually very curious, is it the administrator's hobby or habit to read "Heaven and Earth Record"? Or is it work?

Feeling An Xiaoyu's gaze, the administrator turned his head to look over and asked with a smile; "What's wrong?"

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "Not much." ”

Still crawled to the administrator's side, the two of them were close to each other, An Xiaoyu enjoyed such intimate warmth, and couldn't help but close her eyes and whispered: "You say, is the appearance of the werewolf in the calculation of the Heavenly Dao?" Or could it be related to my bad luck? ”

"It's all related." The administrator just said, An Xiaoyu understood, she already had enough guesses in her heart, and she just wanted to ask for proof.

She sighed, rolled over and said, "Sleep!" ”

The administrator laughed twice and turned off the lights.

The night without the north wind calling was extraordinarily quiet, and the people in the village finally had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up the next morning, they were all refreshed, and even Liuzi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, came out on crutches and stayed for a while, and his legs were really useless.

Both An Xiaoyu and the administrator had a way to get him back to normal, but neither of them did. The mountain village lives as a matter of course, everyone goes out hunting together, Liu Zi helps out at home, An Xiaoyu and the administrator are plain.

While the caretaker was going out, An Xiaoyu built a snow shelter in the yard, and used a few simple wooden sticks and templates to clear out the soil underneath, and she planned to move the saplings to the land after the peach saplings completely broke through the soil.

After all, the root system of the sapling will be affected in the clay pot after all, and the limitation of space may even limit the root system of the sapling, losing its due grip and water absorption. Of course, this is just a wonderful dream of An Xiaoyu, and the sapling has not yet broken through the ground, and the root system has certainly not fully opened.

These days, Xiaoyu's closeness to the law has made great progress, and inadvertently, she has been able to initially open the door to the law and let the law be used for herself. It's a pity that the power that can be obtained at the moment is still not enough, and it is far from being comparable to that meditative state.

She also began to realize that trying to use the law of physical mortal mobilization between gestures was not as simple as revoking the meditative state. Meditation still needs to continue, An Xiaoyu has a feeling that the more laws can be invoked during meditation, the easier it will be for him to mobilize the laws in his usual state.

These are two cultivation states that complement each other.

Holding the jar, An Xiaoyu squinted her eyes, and with the shaking of the rocking chair, she entered a meditative state. The laws around her are entangled inside and outside the body, and this feeling makes An Xiaoyu very comfortable. The law of cause and effect is now close enough to her, and this is the difference between the law of natal and other laws.

Even if An Xiaoyu has controlled some other laws before that are more than the laws of cause and effect, the closest thing to An Xiaoyu so far is always cause and effect. This is a law from her talent, not learned from elsewhere, nor directly comprehended from the Great Dao space.

The sound of the wind in his ears, the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests, and the voices of the people in the village began to blur at this moment, and the rhythm of cause and effect and blood became clearer and clearer. But at this time, the rhythm suddenly had a trace of disorder, An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and opened her eyes.

Not feeling anything unusual, she rubbed her hair a little confused, squinted her eyes again in confusion, and entered a meditative state again. She wanted to see if the disorder that had been secretly uncoordinated just now had appeared by chance, or if something was affecting her.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the rhythm to start messing up again. This time, An Xiaoyu did not immediately quit the meditation state, but continued. The disorder starts out of nothing, gradually intensifies, and then disappears. After a while, the disorder reappears and then disappears again.

It seems to be a cycle, in the rhythm of the law of stability, every time there is a period of time, there will be such a disorder, after a long time, An Xiaoyu is a little used to it. After all, this disorder does not seem to affect the proximity of the law, and does not produce any strange phenomena.

The administrator listened, and said, "That means you're in trouble." ”

"Huh?" An Xiaoyu was taken aback: "It's serious? ”

She also thought that there was something wrong with her cultivation, but the administrator immediately saw her thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's not that the trouble of your cultivation is coming, but on the surface, your trouble is coming, so the cause and effect will fluctuate abnormally, because the cause and effect around you appear, interfering with the rhythm of the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao." ”

An Xiaoyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, if it was the trouble in reality, it would be easy to deal with, after all, she is not what she used to be now: "I thought there was something wrong with my cultivation, but we are all hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, why are there any troubles coming to the door before?" ”

The administrator smiled, "Fate is wonderful. ”

Although he said so, until the Chinese New Year, An Xiaoyu did not encounter anything unlucky in the past two days. So the New Year came, and after calling his family to greet the New Year, he sent a message to his friend, and An Xiaoyu turned off the terminal again.

The village has prepared a bonfire, which is an annual event. In order to celebrate the New Year, the wind and snow in the mountains seemed to stop today, and although the clouds in the sky were still gray, the falling snowflakes were completely negligible, giving them a peaceful night.

Bonfires were lit, pots and pots were set up, and lamb hunted by the caretakers was separated, grilled or cooked. Yesterday, the young people of the village came across a wild boar, and after some fighting, the wild boar was also roasted on the fire.

Probably only such a ferocious creature can maintain its position under the impact of wolves and remain in this mountain forest, right? However, it is said that they have also seen the carcasses of many wild boar cubs, and the wild boar herd is also suffering heavy losses, even today's one, it has been injured, otherwise they would not have been able to solve it.

An Xiaoyu didn't hold the clay pot today, but just sat next to the administrator, and the two of them were in the most remote corner of the entire banquet, with their backs to a forest. At this time, the people of the village began to cheer, thanking the caretaker for his guidance and help, both in the village and in the town.

For the first time, she knew that the Administrator could jump, and if dancing around a campfire was a jump, the Administrator was handsome in everything he did. And he can also sing mountain songs, the tone of mountain songs has an ancient atmosphere, and when you listen to it, it is not a product of this era.

Looking at the administrator whose face was illuminated by the bonfire, An Xiaoyu's eyes began to blur, and she was very curious about what kind of life the administrator lived in the 20,000 years before living in the Three Thousand Books Sea. Who did he know? What kind of things have you experienced? What kind of places have you been?

These are like the most fascinating puzzles in the world, which makes An Xiaoyu fascinated. She believed that as her cultivation increased, one day she would be able to get closer and closer to the administrator and learn more about him. And once you step through the Earth Spirit Realm, this process is an important step.

The Administrator smiled at An Xiaoyu as he turned around, the firelight swaying on his face. An Xiaoyu was also slightly, and the eye contact between the two people was all silent. The people of the village began to eat, drink, sing and dance, and the caretaker was pulled over by many people.

An Xiaoyu held a piece of wild boar meat and gnawed on a mouth full of oil, such pure game is not something that can be tasted in the city. While eating, she secretly looked at the caretaker, and she suddenly thought of something, put down the wild boar and turned around and ran to her yard.

It didn't take long for the village to remember the sound of "popping", as if colorful fireworks that were out of place in the mountain village flew into the sky and exploded above people's heads. Everyone stopped what they were doing, looking at these colorful lights, and only then did they understand why An Xiaoyu bought so many fireworks.

A hairy boy looked up stupidly, didn't stabilize after two turns, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and reluctantly lowered his head and patted it. The old people held the hot wine jugs and tilted their heads slightly, and the young people laughed and pointed at the beautiful flowers in the sky.

An Xiaoyu stood next to the fireworks, put her hands on her waist, gasped, and then raised her head.

It's so pretty!
