Snowfall in August

As soon as the two arrived home, it suddenly snowed that day.

That's right, it's really snow in the sky, not rain, Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned as he watched the goose-feather-sized snowflakes fall one by one.

It's only been a few months, and it's snowing?

The words are white, and the few of them are also worried.

Lu Yu was in a daze for a while, and then remembered that there was a sudden heavy snowfall on this day, so he still had a lot to do. So they first reminded them to add clothes first, and then went to the backyard to pick some ripe vegetables.

There was no cover in the sheepfold, and the sheep were shivering from the cold, Lu Yu thought about it and sent the goats into Anding Valley.

It was indeed warmer in the valley, and before the snowflakes fell, they melted into the air and turned into raindrops. Lu Yu's heart was a little more settled, no matter how cold it was outside, no matter how weird the weather was, as long as Anding Valley was still warm, then there was no need to worry about the sheep being frozen to death.

When they got home, they all changed into thick clothes, and Yan Xi'an told Lu Yu that the pool in the backyard had begun to freeze.

Lu Yu went to the backyard to take a look, not only was there a thin layer of ice in the pool, but also a thin layer of snow was covered on the ground in the backyard, on the unharvested vegetables, and on the grape trellis.

The weather was very cold, almost instantly, from early autumn to midwinter, and it was a rare, extremely cold midwinter.

Yan Xi'an reminded Lu Yu: "It's so cold, uncle, are you going to go to town?" Send some dry firewood to Brother Xiao Ming. ”

"Forget, I need to go." Lu Yu searched in the backyard, found a bag of charcoal, and sent it over.

On the streets of Dunlin Town, the snow is already a little thick, of course, there is not a single pedestrian on the street, most of the shops are closed, and the people inside must be looking for clothes to keep out the cold.

When they went to Lu Ming's house, their family was wearing thick clothes and sitting in the house with the door closed.

As soon as he saw Lu Yu, Lu Ming said with a bitter face: "It's only been a few days since it was stable, why is it strange again?" ”

Lu Yu didn't answer and asked him, "Have you all practiced according to the method I taught recently?" ”

"Hehe, I've been practicing for a few days, but I haven't seen any use, and I've forgotten about it for the past two days." Lu Ming rubbed his hands and said, "I'll go get the copper basin, it's too cold, it's not okay if you don't make a fire." ”

"You have to do what I teach, it's useful." Lu Yu said to Zhang Qiye and his wife: "Seventh Master, aunt, you two also have to practice together, and then urge Lu Ming, this weather is weird, and it will be beneficial to practice." ”

Zhang Qiye nodded and said, "Yes, I have to practice, I will remind him." ”

Lu Yu felt that he needed to emphasize a few words seriously, and he said: "Lu Ming, you really have to practice, and when you are familiar with it, you will also teach Jiayu Jiaxuan." ”

"I know, from today onwards, I will practice seriously and not fall behind for a day."

Lu Yu nodded, and asked Ah Li again: "Did Lu Ming teach you how to practice?" "When Lu Yu passed on Lu Ming and their cultivation methods, Ah Li was on a big belly, and Lu Yu asked Lu Ming to teach Ah Li later.

Ah Li said no, Lu Ming didn't practice himself.

Lu Yu was a little unhappy, and said that he would teach it himself, and let Lu Ming and Zhang Qiye learn it again.

To be honest, Ah Li's brain is much easier to use than Lu Ming, he taught it once, and Ah Li learned it. Lu Yu explained some details carefully, and then said to Ah Li: "This is my cultivation method, I have always practiced like this, and now what am I doing, you have also seen it." He said solemnly: "This weather is too weird, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people who can't carry it this time, you practice, with cultivation, it will be better." ”

Ah Li said that she must practice hard, and she will also supervise the people in the family to reassure Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was very worried.

Leaving Lu Ming's house, Lu Yu walked back, and he wanted to see when the snow would stop.

The snow continued to fall without the slightest hint of stopping, and the snow became deeper and thicker, and soon the trees, the roads, and the unharvested crops in the fields were covered with a layer of snow.

Lu Yu thought to himself: "I don't know how many people will not survive this year." Lu Yu was not only worried about the people in the village, but also about the lonely old children living in the town, who were about to face a new disaster before they had time to live a few days without worrying about food and clothing.

Snowfall in August, which of course was a disaster.

When I got home, the snow in the backyard was already piled up, and some of the outlines of tall vegetables like peppers and tomatoes could still be seen, while those that were crawling on the ground were completely covered by the snow and could not be seen.

"This year's lotus root, as well as grapes, can't be eaten." Lu Yu stood at the back door of the house, looking out of the house stupidly.

"We still have a lot of food, and we have a lot of vegetables, so we don't have to worry about not having anything to eat." Yan Xi'an sighed and said, "Alas, it's just that

What should you do if you are a farmer? ”

Lu Yu didn't know what to do, not to mention it from afar, just in the town, there were many people who lacked food and drink, even if he wanted to help, it was impossible to help so many people. Lu Yu hoped that the newcomers Liang County Ling and Liang Garrison would not leave the people here at this time and leave with their hands.

In a bad mood, Lu Yu didn't want to eat dinner, if it wasn't for other people to eat, he didn't want to cook.

After eating, Lu Yu packed up some things and went to the town again. It was very cold, and not only did the snowflakes outside not stop, but the snow was frozen into pieces, hard as a mirror.

Lu Yu didn't let Yan Xi'an follow, it was too cold outside, and the road was slippery, so he asked them to light a brazier at home and bake a fire to keep warm.

When he arrived in the town, he went to Xiao Mao's house first, and Lu Yu found that the doors and windows of their house were tightly closed. Lu Yu's heart tightened, and he listened carefully again—fortunately, both of Amao's ancestors and grandchildren were still alive.

Lu Yu knocked on the door and went in, both of them were wrapped in thick clothes, the clothes were very old and worn, but they could keep warm.

Putting down the food and meat he brought over, Lu Yu asked the old man if there was any food at home.

The old man said with a sad face, there is still food at home, but it is too evil under the snow, I am afraid that there are not some spirits making trouble.

Lu Yu didn't know why the snow suddenly flew in August, let alone when the snow would stop. Lu Yu said again: "I'll burn charcoal tomorrow, and I'll send some over when it's done." He glanced at Xiao Mao's house, but fortunately the house was not dilapidated, and the doors and windows were very tight.

Leaving Xiaomao's house, Lu Yu quietly sent some food to several other families, he originally wanted to go to the town guard yamen to take a look, and thought that Liang Gen might have slept, so he didn't bother others.

Before leaving, Lu Yu went to Lu Ming's house again.

The night seemed to be colder, and Lu Ming and the others hadn't slept yet, so they were all around the hall to make a fire.

Lu Ming was a little surprised when he saw Lu Yu coming again, and asked him why he came at this time.

"Come and see you, the weather seems to be getting colder and colder, what are you going to do at night?"

"What else can I do if I light a fire in the house?" Lu Ming said: "Brother, you come and go at night, aren't you afraid of the cold?" Alas, I knew it would be so cold all of a sudden, so I practiced every day. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's too late to practice now." Lu Yu told them to be careful when they sleep at night, if there is a brazier in the house, the doors and windows are closed too tightly, and beware of gas poisoning (carbon monoxide was unknown to the ancients, it was called gas).

Returning home and passing through Anding Valley, Lu Yu found that he still underestimated the severity of the cold weather, because the grass in the valley was also covered with a thin layer of snow. This matter is a bit serious, Lu Yu remembered that a few years ago, there were two winters that were also very cold, but at that time, even if it snowed heavily, half of the snow would not fall in this stable valley.

Lu Yu was worried, this was still the end of August, and he didn't know what the world would become like in a few months.

The goats were afraid of the cold, so they had already entered a cave, and Lu Yu approached to feel it, and it was warmer inside.

Although the goats themselves were very frozen, Lu Yu was still worried that they would be frozen, so he went to carry seven or eight bundles of straw piled up in the valley into the hole, untied the bundles, and spread them on the ground.

When he got home, Lu Yu took some charcoal and went to the side where Yan Jibai lived to make a fire. Now it's too cold, and the bamboo house definitely can't live in people, so Yan Xi'an wants to squeeze with Lan Shaofang in the room where Yan Xiding sleeps now, and Yan Xiding sleeps in the room where the food is placed, Lu Yu didn't go back to the utility room, so he made a bed with a bench and wooden board in the hall and slept in the hall.

Lying on the bed in a worried mood, tossing and turning for a long time, Lu Yu fell asleep, and then he had a dream.
