Chapter 54: The Snow Begins to Clear
Is it any wonder she feels unusually cold?
Pushing open the wooden door, the wind blew in the goose feather snow, the cold wind was biting, and even the knee-deep snow outside the house poured in a little with the crack in the open door.
The snow outside the house has not stopped, and I don't know when this snow will fall.
I am afraid that I will not be able to go out these days, and the snow on the roof and in the yard must also be cleared in time, otherwise the heavy snow may bury them inside.
Fortunately, the two were prepared, Liang Jian carried the ladder out of the door, leaned on the eaves and climbed up, and after a while, layers of snow fell.
Qin Yue covered his hands to his mouth, exhaled the heat, rubbed his hands again, and his frozen hands regained some sense. She took a flint and flint to light the fire in the earthen stove, threw in a block of wood to make it burn even more, and hung a pot of broth in it and stewed it.
She wrapped herself tightly, and took the stone and pried out the door, and swept a way from the door of the house to the gate of the courtyard, and swept the snow from the cellar.
Liang Jian cleaned the snow pressed on the roof before getting down the ladder, he frowned and watched Qin Yue struggling to clear the snow, walked in front of her in a few steps and sent her back to the house.
The white sheep in the straw shed shivered with cold, the white sheep's belly became more and more swollen, and there was always a restless exchange at night, and Liang Jian led it to the hall.
In the distance, the mountains, jungles, and lakes are white, and the river next to the wooden houses is covered with thick ice. Liang Jian would always go out once a day to sweep the snow from the yard and roof, and dig some ice from the river and pile it in the cellar.
The snow was falling endlessly, sometimes so thick that it blocked the wooden door, and it took Liang Jian a long time to open it. Qin Yue, who was forbidden to go out, hid behind him and laughed heartlessly.
In winter, Qin Yue is particularly afraid of the cold, and he has to wrap himself in an animal skin blanket when he sits in front of the fireplace, but Liang Jian always has a hot breath on his body, and no matter how cold the day is, it is hot.
The winter here seems to be extraordinarily long, and the month-long heavy snow makes Qin Yue, who is hiding in the house, bored.
In addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping in a month, there is only one thing left to create people anytime and anywhere, Qin Yue's face was flushed and collapsed under Liang Jian, probably because he had no physical strength to vent, and he wanted to be more and more ruthless these days.
The next day, when the snow was clear, Qin Yue didn't want to stay in the breathless house, the white sheep was raised in the corner of the hall, and there was always a strange smell in the house, so she opened the door, and the animal skins on the two windows were also pulled up to ventilate the room.
The little lamb bleated and sucked mischievously under the ewe's belly, Qin Yue took a wooden bowl and squeezed a bowl of goat's milk, scooped a small spoonful of honey into it and poured it into the jar to boil.
Steaming goat's milk still has a bad smell, but in the harsh winter when food is poor, it is considered a nutritious tonic. She drank half a bowl, and had to lean over to force Liang Jian to finish the rest.
Qin Yue pulled Liang Jian out of the door, the cold wind was blowing on her body, although it was cold on her body, she was still happy to be able to go out to breathe.
Actively cleared the snow with Liang Jian, and the two went out of the yard.
The snow was white, and the cabin sat lonely on the vast white snow, and there was no other color between heaven and earth.
The two held hands and stepped on a deep pit under their feet, Qin Yue almost fell into the snow, and Liang Jian pulled her tightly with her big hand.
After walking around, no matter how beautiful the snow scene is, it is not interesting to look at it in the same way.
Qin Yue proposed to build a snowman, and she enthusiastically rolled out a large ball of snow in the corner, and the bulging snowman put its head on its stomach and inserted branches, as if it had become a majestic guard in the yard.
She looked at Liang Jian with a smile on her face, with a look of begging for praise.
Liang Jian's eyebrows were dyed with a smile at the corners of her eyes, and her big hand took her hand that was red from the cold, and pulled her into the room with one hand.
The smell in the room dissipated a lot, but after breathing in the crisp air, the two couldn't help frowning when they first came in.
Unfortunately, there is no better way, the hut is full of firewood, and there is no shelter around, not to mention that the lamb is the ewe that is thrown there, and the weather can freeze to death.
At night, the two of them still slept in the bedroom, covered with thick animal skins, and covered with a tiger hair quilt specially made by Qin Yue before, and shrunk in Liang Jian's arms, making it a lot warmer at night.
When the moon hung high in the night sky, the two of them fell asleep.
Sleeping groggily, woken up by the bleating white sheep, Qin Yue opened his eyes impatiently, but heard the man in his ear whispering, "Someone is coming." ”
Qin Yue's sleepiness disappeared immediately, she looked at Liang Jian with wide eyes, and felt his body tense in the dark, in a state of vigilance.
She was about to get up, but he pulled her back, "I'll go out and have a look, don't move." ”
After speaking, he put on his clothes and pushed the door out, Qin Yue's heart thumped, put on his clothes three or five times, wrapped tightly and secretly followed behind.
Outside the house, the snow was as bright as day in the moonlight, and there was nowhere to hide if anyone appeared.
Qin Yue walked out of the courtyard door full of doubts, and sure enough, he saw several black shadows not far away that were very conspicuous in the snow, stepping on the snow and making a small creaking sound.
Liang Jian stood at the gate of the courtyard with a cold expression, holding a bow and arrow and swept towards those people with a cold light, and found Qin Yue secretly standing behind him, his sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he scolded: "Why did you run out?"
"I took a bow and arrows, and I was not afraid of them. Qin Yue raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and the bow and arrow transformed by Liang Jian had an extremely long range, so he was not afraid of people coming.
Liang Jian glared at her with a tense face, then stopped looking at her, and his gaze fell on those people again.
He also seemed to notice the two people standing in front of him, one of whom shouted, "What tribe are you from? Why are you here?"
Qin Yue sneered in his heart, he was about to break into their territory, and he dared to say this.
They didn't stop, looking at the courtyard in front of them, but they were stopped by Liang Jian's wooden arrow.
The man's expression was obscure, but he also knew that it was powerful, and raised his hand to stop the person behind him, and said loudly, "What are you doing?"
"Take one more step forward, and this arrow will pierce you. ”
Liang Jian drew his bow and aimed it at them, his voice cold and full of chills.
Those few people didn't dare to go any further, they only saw such arrows used by the people of the Xiong tribe when hunting, and an arrow could shoot through the beast fiercely, and they didn't dare to risk their lives.
"We are from the Black Wolf Tribe, which tribe are you, we have been trapped in the snow for two days, and you are also trapped here and can't get out?"
Seeing that they didn't seem to have malicious intent, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and stood silently beside Liang Jian, still staring intently at the every move of the people over there.
"This is our settlement, and outsiders are not allowed to break in. Since you are trapped here without intention, leave quickly, and I will not pursue it again. ”
Liang Jian had a cold face, and gradually withdrew his bow and arrows, since he intended to break the deadlock, he would not lose face.
"Your settlement, our Black Wolf Tribe is not far from here, but we have never heard of it, is what you said true?"
The man obviously didn't believe it, the tribes were far away from each other, if they were the neighbors of the Black Wolf Tribe, it was impossible that they had never heard of it, and it didn't look like there was a tribe here, and he couldn't help but look cold at the thought that they might be people of unknown origin.
