The next morning the snow stopped, and the sky was rarely clear.

Ye Xi pushed open the heavy bluestone gate, and the cold and fresh air immediately rushed to his face.

As far as the eye can see, everything is white, the earth is covered with soft snow, and the two suns in the sky look faint, bright but not dazzling.

Ye Xi wanted to go out to breathe and move, but as soon as he took a step, something fell above his head. He reacted quickly and took a step back, and the thing grazed the tip of his nose and fell to the ground with a crackle.

He looked down and saw that the ice cubes hanging on the eaves had fallen.

The salted bird leopard guarding the door was startled, and immediately knelt down in fear and self-reproach.

It was their dereliction of duty to frighten the witches.

Broken Ling in the room walked out quickly when he heard the movement, and frowned when he saw the broken Bingling on the ground, "Wu, you weren't smashed, were you?"

Yesterday, the chiefs of the Broken Ling Sect learned to read and write very late, and they slept in Ye Xi's house.

Ye Xi helped the guilty salted bird river leopard up, and said to the three of them with a smile: "What are you doing with such a fuss, my head is no more brittle than other fighters, even if it hits, nothing will happen." ”

The salty bird still blamed himself, and said regretfully: "Lord Xiwu, the two of us will clean up the ice on the eaves!"

Ye Xi waved his hand: "No need, I'll knock it myself, it's time to move after staying in the house for a long time." ”

The three of them didn't dare to dissuade Ye Xi, so they had to watch him go back to the house and get a small stone hammer out, and then jumped on the roof lightly with a bent knee.

The slope of the roof is not too large, and it is not impossible to stand.

It's just that it was covered with a thick layer of snow, and as soon as Ye Xi stood up, a lot of soft and white snow immediately slid down like an avalanche and fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Whew~"

There was a young eagle chirping behind him.

Ye Xi turned around and saw a broken feather eagle chick as big as a grapefruit parked on the eaves of the roof, staring at himself with a pair of round eagle eyes.

"Good morning, Black Feather!"

Ye Xi said hello with a smile.

This chick of the Broken Feather Eagle is the war beast of the Broken Feather, it has a black and brown fluffy feathers, sometimes mixed with white fluff that has not faded, the whole young eagle looks round, some like a squatting owl.

"Whew~"

Black Feather opened her tender yellow beak and answered in a delicate voice.

Half a year ago, Broken Ling didn't know where to get an egg from the cliff, hatched it himself, and formed a contract with it, and tasted his long-cherished wish for many years.

This eaglet is very independent, it does not stick to the broken feather at all, and it flies everywhere before its wings are full, sometimes flying to the back mountains to catch wood rats, sometimes flying to the chicken mountain to fight the huge melted down chickens.

When it was three months old, it pecked a melted chicken to death by its own power.

At that time, it was smaller than it is now, and it couldn't fly up at all when it grabbed the carcass of a hundred catties of melted down chickens, so it was forced to hold the feet and necks of the melted down chickens, and brought it back from the back mountains with a small body half dragging and half pulling, which shocked countless people's eyeballs along the way.

Last night, the young eagle, whose fluff had not yet faded, refused to go into the house to avoid the cold, and stood on the roof all night under the snowflakes and the cold winter wind, as if it was guarding everyone, and was very sensible.

Ye Xi couldn't help but think of Quack when he saw it.

At that time, Gaga was still wearing the animal skin jacket that he sewed for it, nesting in his arms all day long, and the smell of milk on his body had not faded, so he knew that he was sticking to people and being coquettish......

Ye Xi shook his head with a smile, squatted down by the eaves, held a small stone hammer, and began to knock off the row of ice cubes hanging on the edge with a clang.

The tops of these ice cubes are sharp, the longest being twenty centimeters, and if they hit the warrior's head, it would be fine, but if they hit the heads of other witches, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After a while, Broken Ling also jumped up with a stone hammer and squatted on the eaves of another row to knock on the ice.

Large chunks of ice fell to the ground, crackling and shattering.

The people of Xicheng knew that after Ye Xi and they knocked on the ice cubes, they also walked out of the house wrapped in thick animal skin clothes, and everyone knocked on the ice cubes on their eaves with great interest.

Some people hold the eaves with one hand and hang themselves in the air to knock on the ice, some people break with their bare hands when they are not too cold, and some people are unsteady and occasionally slip off the slippery roof and fall into the thick snow with a thud.

"Wow——!"

The sound of children frolicking could be heard in the distance.

It's a nice day, and there are groups of children running to the ice lake to play.

These children are all from the six new tribes this year, they don't know about skates, they just skate on the ice and play with them, but all of them are not bored, with happy smiles on their faces and crisp laughter all over the lake.

Ye Xi looked up at them from time to time, infected by their happiness, with a warm smile on his face.

However, when he thought of the child from Xicheng who died this spring, the exterminated Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, and Aori, who had curled himself up in a white cocoon, his smile faded again.

He stood up with his eyes down, took two steps along the slippery eaves, changed places, and crouched down, continuing to crack the ice with a stone hammer.

Knocking and knocking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When I looked up, I was stunned.

I saw a behemoth covered with black scales lying silently on the snow, and the mist in ice blue was sitting obliquely on its head, looking at itself with a light smile.

Cangwu was looking at Ye Xi, but the Xicheng people outside were all looking at Cangwu.

She is as beautiful as an unreal picture, like an ethereal mist surrounding a mountain stream, like a fluttering petal falling on a clear water and clear spring, difficult to describe in words, like a miracle, giving people a strong feeling of looking at one less glance.

So at this moment, even the children playing on the ice lake looked at her stupidly, and the whole Xicheng was extremely quiet, which also made Ye Xi realize that something was wrong.

Cang Wu blinked his long eyelashes at Ye Xi, and his snow-white and flawless face revealed a suffocating smile,

"I'm hungry, do I have anything to eat?"

......

The bright red soup bubbles and the rich aroma of food spreads.

Under the stone pot, more than a dozen short candles burned orange flames, and they all burned the bottom of the pot. Next to the stone pot, there are plates of side dishes of different colors, including mutton, mushrooms, bean skin, beef, bird eggs, lettuce leaves, ball leaves, vermicelli, and ......

That's right, Ye Xi's hospitality is hot pot.

In this cold winter, what food can be compared to a hot pot?

The hot pot base is made by Ye Xi himself, using a spicy taste, Cangwu is not skilled in using chopsticks, his nose is red from spicy, and his eyes are like a layer of water, which looks very cute.

Ye Xi had already eaten it, so he had been helping Cangwu to scald vegetables, and he didn't move much.

He helped Cangwu fill a bowl of cooked vermicelli, and put two scalded vegetable leaves and meatballs in it and put them in front of her.

Vermicelli is made from flour made from ground grain grass fruits, and after cooking, they are tough and thorough, and they are very chewy to eat. Vegetable leaves and meatballs are sent by the red eagles, in fact, there are not many fresh vegetable leaves left in this season, and most of everyone's staple food is meat, such as meatballs, which are the eating methods that Xicheng Qiao women have studied in their spare time.

Cangwu finished eating the noodles brought by Ye Xi, and swept away the side dishes on the entire table, until his delicate lips became bright red, he put down his chopsticks and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

Cangwu sighed faintly: "Every time I can see new things and taste novel food here with you." ”

Ye Xi handed her a glass of cold honey water and smiled softly: "Then come more." ”

Cangwu looked at him with burning eyes, and said nothing.

Ye Xi was happy but a little hairy by Cangwu's gaze, she couldn't figure out what she thought, and when she was about to ask, a muffled roar came from outside the door, Cangwu moved his eyebrows, stood up and said to him: "You have a friend who came to you." ”
