Remember: Novel 20丨6 Website: Хīaoshυo2o丨оΜ so as not to lose it
The next day, the weather was still very cold, but fortunately, the sun finally came out, the sun was bright, but not much warm, but the sun is sunshine after all, and it can make people feel uplifted.
In the morning, Yan Jibai and his wife walked back by themselves, and as soon as they arrived at Lu Yu's house, Mrs. Yan asked Lu Yu to take out the sheepskins at home, and she wanted to sew a few more jackets. Lu Yu went up the mountain to hunt sheep a few times, and he also ate two sheep at home, a few pieces of intact sheepskin, and he could make a few leather jackets. A leather jacket is much warmer than a padded coat or something.
After making breakfast, Lu Yu didn't eat it, so he went to the town first. Lu Ming's family is also Lu Yu's concern, and in this weather, he must go there every day to feel at ease.
Lu Jiaxuan's illness has been cured, and everyone else is fine. Lu Yu was much more relieved, so he didn't stay long and went back. This time, Lu Yu didn't look for Liang Gen, he thought that he would wait for a few days when the charcoal was burned and then send it over.
When I got home, there were several more people in Lu Yu's family, and they all came to borrow charcoal.
Lu Yu's charcoal was burned a few years ago, and it was not much, and it was piled up in the backyard. I gave Lu Ming a sack the day before yesterday, and my house has burned a lot in the past two days, so there is not much left.
So some people said that there was no charcoal, and firewood was fine, so Lu Yu lent them firewood.
There are many people in the village, and it is impossible for Lu Yu to cut enough firewood for every household, so after thinking about it, he said that he would also go up the mountain to cut it, and if there is one who is not afraid of the cold, he can take it with him to chop.
So a few people were unhappy, saying that Lu Yu was stingy.
Lu Yu said: "Why am I stingy? Everyone went to chop firewood together, and when they came back, they could burn charcoal, or if they didn't burn it, it would always be useful, and I couldn't go back alone to get the firewood that the whole village needed to use, right? ”
Sanbao said in a strange voice: "Da Yu, you can't do this, we are all from the same village, and if you refuse to help, it is stingy." ”
Lu Yu was already in a bad mood, but this time he was even more unhappy, so he went back directly: "What's wrong?" If you don't have firewood, you have to cut it for you? If you don't have charcoal, I have to burn it for you? Who am you? ”
Sambo laughed twice and didn't dare to fight back.
Lu Yu said again: "I'm going to chop wood today, I want to chop together, let's set off together at noon." If you want to burn charcoal when you cut it back, you can help dig a charcoal cellar together. He felt that his offer made sense.
A few people agreed, saying that they would come at noon and ask Lu Yu to go into the mountain together; A few people didn't say anything, seemed a little indignant, and went back.
Lu Yu was also very unhappy, thinking that if he wasn't in the village, then these people would let themselves freeze to death and starve to death?
After staying at home for a while, Lu Yu went to Qi Xiang again.
As a man from the north, Qi Xiang didn't seem to be more cold than the local people in Yangshan Village, Lu Yu arrived at his house, he was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, sitting by the brazier to keep warm, and his body was still shivering. Qi Xiang's crazy daughter-in-law also wore a lot, and she was also roasting the fire.
Lu Yu entered the house, saw Qi Xiang shivering, couldn't help but laugh, and asked him, "Aren't you in the north, colder?" How did you get frozen like this? ”
"The north is cold, but it's not that wet, it's dry, cold, dry, cold." Qi Xiang took a breath and said: "The cold on your side is different, wet and sticky, no matter how much you wear clothes, it doesn't matter, the cold air goes straight into the bones." ”
"Hey, it's so cold!" Lu Yu had never been to the north, and he didn't know what the difference between the cold in the north and south was, he said: "Many people are going up the mountain to chop wood at noon today, do you want to go together?" ”
"Don't go, there is one at home, hehe."
Lu Yu was curious and asked, "Why do you have dry firewood at home?" Cut before? ”
"yes." Qi Xiang nodded proudly and said, "I'm afraid that this winter will be very cold, so I usually cut the firewood and dry it first, and prepare it for the winter." He sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't expect that it was not yet September, why is it so cold?" ”
"yes, I don't know if it will be colder when the real winter comes." Thinking that it might be even colder in winter, Lu Yu couldn't help but shudder.
Lao Gao and Lu Di both huddled at home to warm up, and Lu Yu asked them if they wanted to go up the mountain to chop wood together at noon.
Neither of them wanted to go up the mountain, but they both had to. The heavy snow fell suddenly in autumn, and except for Qi Xiang's group of northerners, no one would prepare enough firewood to survive the winter in advance.
Lu Yu asked Lao Gao and Lu Di to prepare the rope and sling, and when the weather was the warmest at noon, they would go into the mountains to chop wood.
Lu Di said that Lu Yu was very "prescient", and took him and Lao Gao into the mountain to hunt before the heavy snow closed the mountain, and his family would not worry about running out of meat to eat this winter.
Lao Gao was a little worried, he thought of his sister's family in the county town, and it was not necessarily possible to buy food in the county town, and it was even more difficult to get firewood for heating.
Lu Yu thought about it for a while, and said that he could go to the city in the afternoon, and also send some firewood by the way. busy
After lunch, it was the time of the day when the sun was the strongest, Lu Yu took a few people into Yangshan.
In fact, it is not counted as entering Yangshan, and a group of people are cutting down on the edge of Yangshan. Almost every tree was covered with a thick layer of snow, and it was impossible to tell if the trees under the snow were dead or alive. Some people say that the weather is suddenly cold, and these trees are estimated to be unable to bear it, and they must have frozen to death.
Lu Yu has great strength, the kitchen knife is fast, and cutting trees and trees is as simple and easy as cutting leeks. He also slowed down a little, otherwise it would have looked too shocking.
Lu Yu cut off his own recommendation and went to help others. Except for Lu Yu, all the men wore thick ones, so that their strength could not be used, and the trees were damp and sturdy, so it was difficult for them to cut down a small tree.
first helped Lu Di, and then helped Lao Gao, these two people each picked up a load of firewood and went back, and Lu Yu went to help others.
Because of Lu Yu's help, it didn't take long, and everyone went home with a large load of firewood. These firewoods are not dry, and they need to be dried and dried to make fire. But if you want to burn the cellar to make charcoal, it doesn't matter whether it's dry or wet.
Lao Gao went home and got some food, and asked Lu Yu to help give it to her sister. Lu Yu didn't have much charcoal at home, so he brought a bundle of firewood and brought it with him.
In Jinhua City, the snow on the streets was extremely thick, and Lu Yu carried firewood on his back and food, almost unable to walk an inch.
Fortunately, there were less than half of the pedestrians on the street, so Lu Yu stepped on the snow boldly and went to Lao Gao's sister's house.
The situation of Lao Gao's sister and her family of three is not as bad as Lao Gao feared, and they all started a fire at home. However, firewood needs to be bought in the city, and now there are certainly no people who risk their lives to go into the city to sell firewood, and they are worried about what to do when they run out of dry firewood at home.
Lu Yu put down his things, didn't say anything, and left. Lao Gao's sister did not reveal that she wanted to go to the village, it is estimated that they knew that it was impossible for their family to cross the distance of dozens of miles and go to Yangshan Village safely.
Leaving Lao Gao's sister's house, Lu Yu went to the county government again and went quietly.
Liang County Ling was busy, and Lu Yu saw that there were a lot of people in the county office, most of whom were old and weak. Lu Yu's heart moved, it seemed that Liang County Ling was trying to find a way to settle those who had nothing to rely on.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yu still walked into the yamen.
Seeing Liang County's order, of course Lu Yu would not kneel and kowtow, but only politely arched his hand. Liang Xianling probably wouldn't care about this, he was very surprised and asked Lu Yu why he came over suddenly.
Lu Yu said that he would take a look.
Liang Xianling glanced at Lu Yu a few times, and said: "It's cold, but Mr. Lu can go out with only a single coat, it's really a strange person." ”
Lu Yu smiled, and suddenly remembered some anecdotes that he had heard and read in books before, that there were some people who were not afraid of the cold and heat, whether it was Sanjiu or Sanfu, they could wear the same clothes to swagger through the market, and now in the eyes of others, isn't he such a person? Lu Yu secretly thought that he would wear more in winter and less in summer, and he couldn't behave too weirdly.
"I'm afraid that there are many people in the city who lack food and clothing, and have no fixed place to live." Lu Yu arched his hand towards Liang County Order again, and continued: "Lord Liang is bothered. ”
Liang County Ling said: "This is my business, what bother not to bother." It's okay to say where I live, I took people to take a look this morning, and there are many empty houses around the county government that are uninhabited, and I want to settle these old people and children nearby. ”
Lu Yu nodded, and glanced at the temporary county hall in the compound. The lobby was very wide, but very simple, the inside was empty, the doors and windows were wide open, and it was very cold inside.
