Chapter Fifty-Eight: Heavy Snow Covers the Mountain

From the bottom of my heart, I was really happy to find Liu Xiu in the hot spring, and I was even happier than I could take advantage of the power to fly in the air on the grass and leaves.

After all, he is very good at hurrying, although the movement is a little bigger.

Borrowing power on the grass and trees is like walking against the wind, which seems chic, but in fact, the speed is not too fast, at most it is just to enjoy that kind of fluttering fun.

However, hot springs are different, this thing has too many benefits, bathing is one thing, if you build a house on the side, he even solves the problem of winter warmth, although he is not afraid of the cold, but who doesn't want to live comfortably?

Think about it, it's okay to soak in the hot springs, burn a charcoal fire, or barbecue or hot pot, or warm a pot of old wine or tea, then drink a little wine and taste food to see the vast land covered by heavy snow.

The more I thought about it, the more I looked forward to it, and after returning to her residence, Liu Xiu found a pen and paper to recall the location of the hot spring and the environment, and carefully planned how to renovate it.

"Although the area of the hot spring is not large, but I alone is completely enough, it is irregular shape and not tight, use a hammer to trim the surroundings, the grinding and polishing, irregular and irregular beauty, there are a lot of pebbles washed down from the mountains by the lake, pick up some to spread in the hot springs, secondly, make a hut on the side, just use bamboo, quite interesting, dig a few ditches under the house, let the water of the hot spring flow through the bottom of the house, so that the house can be warm without a fire, oh yes, I remember that there was a little iron when building an earthen water heater at that time, and I took some time to build a special hot pot pot, so that it was convenient to cook hot pot, after all, winter is the season to eat hot pot, and with a special pot, you need charcoal fire, and the smoke of burning wood is too big, and you have to stuffy enough charcoal for winter......"

Writing and drawing on the paper, Liu Xiu took a look, and then he was busy, hoping to finish these when the snow came.

The weather is getting colder by the day, and it may be snowing at any point.

Liu Xiu learned from the book that other places don't know that Qingliu Town has a winter of nearly six months every year, when the snow freezes the earth, and the thick place is three or four meters, especially where he lives in the mountains, the snow is estimated to be thicker.

"Heavy snow covers the mountains, it is difficult to walk, no wonder there is a saying in Maodong, in the face of such a large snow, it is difficult to go out, and I don't know how many houses will be crushed by then, how many trees will be crushed by the heavy snow......"

Looking at the bright moon outside the bamboo building, Liu Xiu sighed in his heart, it was not that he began to worry about the safety of people in the outside world, after all, people in this world have to experience such a thing every year, and it is not his turn to worry about it, but the snowfall has reached a depth of several meters, and Liu Xiu has only heard of it before but has not experienced it himself, so it is inevitable that he is a little curious.

The next morning, after doing the usual things, Liu Xiu began to get busy.

He first went to the depths of the jungle not far away, smashed a few of them with his fist according to the dense wood, and then dragged them directly to the plain, and then there was another violence, blasting these big trees into pieces of wood, and finally, lighting and burning!

It's a bit troublesome to make a kiln that specializes in smoldering charcoal fires, especially to prepare enough charcoal for the whole winter, so Liu Xiu simply burns charcoal in a lazy way, burns a large enough fire, and when the flame is extinguished, there will always be charcoal harvest, right?

So he lit a pyre with a diameter of about 50 meters and a height of 10 meters, and although the last 90 percent of the wood burned was wasted, the charcoal obtained was estimated to be enough.

Well, the ashes formed by the burning of the fire can also be used as nourishment for the next year's planting.

Although the clearing above the plain was wide enough, in order to avoid causing a fire in the deep forest, Liu Xiu still cleaned up the dead grass by the fire.

The fire was raging and rising into the sky, and Liu Xiu's physique was almost cold, and when he got closer, he also felt that the heat wave was hitting people, so he hurriedly left a little.

"I don't know if practicing self-cultivation will make me not afraid of fire one day in the future, I guess it's a bit hanging, after all, water and fire are ruthless......"

Muttering in his mouth, Liu Xiu glanced at the lake, and he lit such a big fire, and the neighbor peeped curiously again.

Looking back at the raging flames that rose more than 100 meters into the sky, Liu Xiu blinked, it seemed that his neighbors were a little afraid of this flame? Yes, it lives in water, it can spit cold mist, and it makes sense that fire is a nemesis.

Regardless of it, Liu Xiu let the fire burn by itself, and he carried an iron hammer in the direction of the hot spring.

When he came to the hot spring, Liu Xiu jingled and banged, trimmed the hot spring into a slightly more satisfactory shape, looked at the sky, and the day was almost over.

For the next ten days, Liu Xiu was busy transforming the environment around the hot springs, picking up pebbles to lay the bottom of the water, polishing the surroundings, and cutting bamboo to build a house.

During this period, he also took half a day to collect charcoal, and got four or five thousand catties, all of which were piled up in the open space behind the bamboo building, which was convenient to use at any time.

It is worth mentioning that the fire he lit was large enough to burn for a full day and a half before it was extinguished naturally......

After nearly half a month of busyness, Liu Xiu finally renovated the hot springs, of course, it is not as good as those ingenious craftsmanship designs, but for Liu Xiu, it is completely fine.

The only fly in the ointment is that it is already in the upper part of the mountain, the temperature is cold, and the surrounding area is covered with snow and ice, which is not suitable for plants to grow, otherwise it would be perfect to plant some flowers and plants around.

Hey? If you use the heat around the hot springs, it seems to be a trick? Try it next year when everything recovers......

After these were finished, Liu Xiu kept getting into the iron shed and began to knock on the special pot for boiling hot pot, he had to be anxious, seeing that the sky had turned leaden gray, the clouds covered the sky, and the cold wind was whistling, maybe when the heavy snow would fall, he still wanted to wait for the first snow to eat hot pot and watch the snow.

After knocking for a long time, Liu Xiu barely got a relatively satisfactory pot, to be honest, the special pot for boiling hot pot is of course the best copper, but unfortunately he does not have copper in his hand, and the iron pot will also be used, and a copper pot must be prepared in the coming year.

When he went out with the pot and was about to go to the hot spring, Liu Xiu looked at his bamboo building and pondered slightly.

Anyway, when the heavy snow falls a few meters thick, my bamboo building will definitely not be able to bear it and be crushed......

After struggling for a moment, Liu Xiu felt that this was not a big deal, and when the time came, he would come to clean up the snow from time to time, anyway, it would be snowing, and it would not be possible to directly destroy the bamboo building like an avalanche.

Just doing this, the mood relaxed, Liu Xiu took the pot and brought some charcoal to the hot spring.

Two days later, the first snowflakes had fallen imperceptibly, and then more and more and more, and the whole world turned gray and white under the fluttering snowflakes.

Sitting in the bamboo house by the hot spring, Liu Xiu was surrounded by boiling hot pot, taking a sip of the warm monkey wine in the hot spring, eating a spicy hot pot, watching the snowflakes flying outside the window, the world was silent, the vast and desolate scenery made his thoughts can't help but rise a trace of indescribable loneliness.

Winter is coming, and he will spend a long winter alone in the mountains......

"This place is in the deep mountains, and the snow is falling, but in this ecological and primitive world, I think the outside world has already begun to drift snow, right?"

Looking at the muttering outside the mountain, Liu Xiu couldn't help but think of the stone bridge outside Qingliu Town, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to see the scenery of the 'broken bridge and remnant snow' when the snow melted next year.

Retracting his gaze, Liu Xiu looked at the foot of the mountain, where Xiaobai and their bee colony lived, and in a trance Liu Xiu realized that he didn't seem to have seen Xiaobai for many days.

Tsk, they should be hibernating, right? Do bees also hibernate?

Not a professional beekeeper, Liu Xiu didn't know this, he thought of a tangled question, that is, the vitality of bees doesn't seem to be very long, how many years can Liu Xiu live is not clear, he is a little melancholy, although Xiaobai is a little different from ordinary bees, but how long can it accompany him?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and laughed at himself instead, he had become so sentimental once upon a time, all things in heaven and earth have their own way of survival, such as the reincarnation of the four seasons, as long as he enjoys this process, he doesn't have to worry too much about the result, which will increase his troubles.

Sure enough, the weather can also affect a person's mood.

Drinking......

Seeing the snowflakes fluttering, seeing the ground outside the window being covered with snow little by little, and seeing the world in a vast, Liu Xiu's heart also became stunned.

Inevitably, he drank too much and didn't even read a book, so he fell drunk on the floor of the bamboo house.

Fortunately, there is hot spring water flowing under the house, and the house is warm like spring, and I am not afraid of catching a cold and getting sick because of this.

Heavy snow is three days at a time, and the first snow of winter is almost a meter deep!

The sky and the earth were covered in snow, and from time to time there was the crackling sound of tree branches being crushed in the dense forest in the distance, and some pitch-black dots on the snow, where birds were looking for food, and even silly rabbits jumped into a pit.

After the sky cleared, Liu Xiu came out of the warm spring-like hut, looking at the vast earth, he couldn't help but be interested, and walked lightly on the snow under his feet, his figure fluttered lightly between the sky and the earth, and moved wantonly in the face of the cold wind.

Heaven and earth are great, but I am free.

In the end, Liu Xiu stopped at the top of a treetop bent by heavy snow, and looked back, stepping on the snow without a trace!

Looking at the vast land like this, Liu Xiu gradually felt that something was missing.

What is it exactly?

After thinking about it, he slapped his head, although he was leisurely drinking and reading books and watching the snow like this every day, it was inevitably too monotonous, and he had to find some spices for his life.

"If you adjust your life, there is nothing more worthy than music, I just sing and entertain myself, it's okay to be heard, it's noise, well, it's time to learn a musical instrument, although I don't know any musical instrument yet, but after a winter, I should be able to barely make beautiful music, right?"

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu quickly thought of a musical instrument that matched the current mood and environment.

Erhu!

"One year of drums, three years of Xiao, a erhu to pull a broken waist, yes, just an erhu, go out to travel the world in the future, you can also squat in the corner of the wall and pretend to be a beggar to pull a song of Erquan Yingyue, and it is not bad to deceive the tears of some sentimental guys......"

Thinking of the happy place, Liu Xiu decided, and then found a way to learn erhu.

But where to get an erhu......
