Chapter Eighty-Six: It's Snowing
The air was cold, the chill was biting, the sky was dark, and there were no stars in sight.
Looking from afar, I saw the mountains and ravines, vague and difficult to distinguish, only gusts of night wind swept by, and the withered grass growing beside the road swayed, undulating with the wind.
In the endless deep sky, I don't know when some tiny ice crystals began to fall, sprinkled in the ocean, and swept into people's collars by the wind.
"Mother, it's snowing." Erya slowly stretched out her hand, looked at the hexagonal petal in her palm, raised her eyes and shouted softly.
"No wonder it's so cold tonight."
Without waiting for her mother's response, she finished and shoved her hand back. looked at his mother, who seemed to be asleep, and showed a silent smile.
Erya curled up in her arms, listened to her mother's beating heartbeat, and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
The snow fell overnight and did not stop until dawn.
The snow was not small, and overnight the carriage lid was covered with a layer. Rifle picked up a long twig and stood under the carriage tiptoeing to clear the snow from the carriage.
Lin Wangshu came out of the carriage and was slightly taken aback when he saw the silver-covered scene around him.
"It's snowing!" Li Kite and Lin Wangshu are both southerners, and they have never seen a few snows in total. Although they said that they were also going to the south, they never expected to encounter snow.
The group got up late today, and the people who traveled with them packed their bags early in the morning and rushed to the road early. At this time, they were the only ones left in this place.
The two of them were carried away by the joy of this snow scene for a while, and no one around them didn't have to care about the image.
Jiang boiled hot water under the car, ready to wait for it to be turned on, poured it into the water bladder and kept it for today to take on the road. At this time, seeing the two people looking crazy, I couldn't help laughing, "Be careful, don't freeze!" ”
The two of them didn't hear it, and they really wanted to roll directly on the snow, but although the snow was not small, it was not big. The snow on the ground is not very thick, and rolling on the ground is not realistic.
Lin Wangshu had just rubbed a snow ball in his hand, and was about to throw it, when he looked up and saw that Li Kite was a little stunned behind him, and even Li Kite didn't react much when he threw the snow on her.
"What's wrong, how stupid." Li Kite walked up to her, saw that her eyes were unblinking, and stretched out her hand to shake it. Lin Wangshu's eyelashes trembled for a moment, his voice trembled a little, and he pointed in the direction behind Li Yuan: "Iris, look over there....."
After a night, the two of them were already covered with a layer of snow that was not too thin, and it did not dissipate, and at this moment the two of them sat quietly in the snow and maintained this position without moving, looking like a sculpture from a distance.
Li Yuan's pupils shook violently, and she took Lin Wangshu's hand and ran over quickly, Lin Wangshu was caught off guard and stumbled, her heart became more and more panicked, she barely steadied her pace, and ran towards the mother and daughter together.
Zhang Yuzhi was wearing tattered and thin clothes, her legs were crossed, her head was lowered and drooped, her hair was messy, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and Erya was tightly hugged in her arms. The fire in front of him was almost completely extinguished, and his exposed wrists were frozen and purple.
"Second uncle! Daddy! Come here! When Lin Wangshu saw this scene, he was a little overwhelmed at the moment, turned his head and shouted in the direction of the carriage.
"Something's wrong! Come here! Lin Wangshu squatted down slowly, a little afraid to look at the motionless person in front of him, Li Yuan Yuan hugged her, and whispered comfort in a trembling voice.
When everyone heard Lin Wangshu's shout, they were eager and with a hint of fear, and they lost what they were doing and hurriedly ran towards the two.
"What's wrong, why are you so flustered? What's going on......."
The voice of inquiry stopped abruptly when he saw the person on the ground, Lin Qingfeng staggered back, and Laifu hurried over to help him.
Jiang covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and she burst into tears in an instant, she is also a mother, she is also a woman, seeing this scene, how to make her unmoved.
Lin Qingyun forced himself to calm down and squatted down to check on the situation of the two of them. Zhang Yuzhi's face was frozen and bruised, full of cracks and wrinkles, her lips were pale at this time, and she looked lifeless, and the second girl was hugged by her, and her little face was red.
Nightstring walked a little slowly, and at this time, several people stepped forward and probed their snorts with their hands.
"And breathing."
Everyone was overjoyed, and needless to say, they all hurriedly tried to separate the two and move to the horse.
It's just that Zhang Yuzhi hugged the second girl tightly, and she couldn't separate the child in her arms at all, Lin Qingyun was sweating profusely and was a little anxious.
Yexian pinched Zhang Yuzhi's arm with his hand, and pressed a little hard towards the two acupuncture points, the two arms instantly lost their strength, and the child in his arms was about to roll out, Jiang's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly reached out and hugged Erya.
Seeing this, Ah Shun picked up Zhang Yuzhi on his back, and the group hurriedly went to the carriage.
The mother and daughter were put in the carriage, and the Jiang family and the two little sisters helped feed Zhang Yuzhi some hot water, but her limbs were stiff, Lin Wangshu glanced at the hot water that had just been filled, put the water bladder on the blanket, and wrapped her tightly with the blanket.
Erya is small, there are no clothes to wear, there is no way, Jiang had to untie his cotton clothes, hold Erya in his arms and use his body temperature to warm her.
Lin Wangshu saw that the little girl's cheeks were hot, her eyes were closed, and she looked extremely uncomfortable. She hurriedly stepped forward and probed the girl's forehead with her hand, and it was hot.
Erya opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a picturesque girl squatting in front of her, looking at her anxiously, her consciousness was a little confused, and she didn't react much for a while.
only looked at Lin Wangshu in a daze, "Sister, are you a fairy?" ”
Lin Wangshu's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately got up and bent over to take the fever-reducing and cold-warding herbs that had been placed in it to dry from the small lattice in the carriage. Turned his head and shouted to Lin Qingyun: "Second uncle!" Second uncle, come over and fry this medicine, this kid is burned and confused, and he is talking nonsense here. ”
Lin Qingyun lifted the curtain a crack, stretched out a hand to take the medicinal herbs, and then several people hurriedly re-lit the pot. Lin Qingfeng boiled hot water, Lin Qingyun and Yexian decoction. Afraid that there would not be enough firewood, Laifu and Ah Shun went out to find firewood again.
"Are you so well prepared?" Yexian took a fan and controlled the fire, only to see the medicinal herbs handed out of the carriage, only to feel that the family was really well prepared.
Lin Qingyun took the cloth and lifted the lid to take a look at it and put it back on, and when he heard Yexian's words, his words turned a corner. "I was thinking about bringing it just in case, but no, it just happens to be usable now."
