As soon as I was about to go to bed, I heard a knocking sound on the side of the wooden house.

Tilt Yan was startled, thinking that some beast was coming, so she looked out and found that it was a big bear.

She said to the ugly ugly with some confusion: "Why is the big bear knocking on the wall?" Didn't you feed it forage? ”

Chouchou asked Da Xiong Chuanyin directly, and then said to Qian Yan: "It's snowing outside, Da Xiong said it's cold and wants to come into the house." ”

Qian Yan sat up, took out the spirit stone to light up the room, and said with some embarrassment: "There is no room in this house, the big bear is too big." ”

Ugly jumped out of bed and walked around the room, then put away the tables, chairs, benches, cabinets and wardrobes.

Only then did he turn to Qian Yan and said, "It should be okay now." ”

Qian Yan looked at the door of the wooden house again, and said with a wave of her hand: "I'll get it in directly, and I won't go through the door." ”

As soon as the words fell, the big bear appeared in the house.

Big Bear's big eyes were confused for a moment, and when he saw that he had changed the environment, and then saw Tilt Yan and Ugly, he became excited, stomped his hooves, and snorted at them.

Tilt Yan got up with her clothes on, took a cloth towel and wiped the snow off her body, there was also a temporary shed outside, that is, it only covered the top and bottom, and the middle was hollowed out, so the snow was on its right side, and it dried quickly.

After wiping it, he patted its head and said, "Don't stomp your feet, and then stomp on the floor, you are really capable, and you know how to knock on the wall."

You're in the house tonight, and if you poop and pee, you're going to squeak, but you can't pull it in the house. ”

The bear stood obediently, tilted his head and blinked, then nodded and rubbed her hand again.

Qian Yan threw the cloth towel aside and climbed into bed again, and said to Chouhou: "It will definitely get colder and colder after that, it's better to walk around during the day, and the temperature is lower at night, and it will definitely be cold outside when the temperature is lower, but it's not a way to keep squeezing like this, it's okay when you sleep, but it's troublesome when you cook and eat." ”

Ugly and ugly said disapprovingly: "That's not easy to do, just get a wooden house out of the space, and when the time comes, put it together with this door-to-door, and this side is connected, the temperature should not be too low, and it's just right for the big bear to be inside." ”

Tilt Yan's eyes lit up, this is really a way, the two wooden houses could have been split into two independent, the only bad thing is that there is no bottom underneath, if you get this stone kang and furniture in, it will be very troublesome to take it out in batches every time.

If you only put half of it, you can do it, and it will have no effect on this wooden house.

found a way to deal with it, Qian Yan fell asleep quickly, today is also a day's road, there are always people on the road, and there is no way to let the horse run by itself, she lies in the car to rest, she has long been sleepy.

When she woke up the next morning, she felt that the window was unusually bright, and it could shine through the sheepskin she had hung yesterday.

She got up and got dressed, first lifted the curtains to make the room brighter, and there was a thick haze on the plastic sheet, so she couldn't see the outside at all.

She went to the stone stove and found that the charcoal was still burning, no wonder it was not cold in the house at all.

"I added some charcoal two hours ago, it snowed yesterday and it will definitely be cold." The ugly ugly also got up, sat on the kang and said to her.

"I said, this charcoal can't last all night, it's hard for you."

Dumpling scooped some water into the wooden basin, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and then opened the door and went out.

As a result, he was frozen back again, and said to the ugly ugly: "Hurry up and get me a thick cotton coat out, this temperature is really dropping, and it feels like it should be a few degrees below zero." ”

As soon as she went out, she felt that her face hurt from the cold, and the temperature was definitely below minus five degrees, and she couldn't complain that the big bear shouted cold yesterday.

She put on a thick cotton coat and cotton shoes wrapped in a layer of cowhide and walked out, as soon as she came out of the wooden house, she couldn't see the steps, you must know that their wooden house was dozens of centimeters from the ground, and now the snow was flush with the floor, and it was really not small.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that this is a low-lying area, after all, the northwest wind is strong, and it is very likely that the snow will blow in.

She looked around with her divine sense, and it was indeed the case, the snow in the high places was much shallower, only about ten centimeters.

Tilt Yan returned to the house, closed the door, and said to Chouchou: "We have to leave quickly, while the snow is not yet compacted, and the road is not so slippery, otherwise we will not be able to enter the mountain." ”

Fortunately, the snow has stopped now, and if it continues, I am afraid that I will have to find a new place to live, and the snow is too thick for the carriage to go up the mountain.

Ugly nodded and got up directly.

Tilt Yan took away the stone slab by the stone hearth, let the fire ignite, took out the water in the pot, poured in a small pot of mutton soup, and heated a few steamed buns.

There was no need to set the table, she and Chouhou finished eating directly by the stove.

After feeding the rich and the big bear, the wooden house was put away.

The ugly took them into the space together, and it ran outside onto the road before letting them out with the carriage.

Fortunately, there was no one on the road at this time, maybe it was still early, or it could be because of the snow, anyway, it was just time for them to operate.

Put the carriage on the side of the road and cover it with a sheepskin before putting it on, so as to keep it warm and reduce the force of the rope.

After getting these and putting on a big coat, there was no way that the northwest wind was blowing the snowflakes on her face and hands, and she realized that her imagination was too far away from reality.

She originally thought that this sheepskin would have to be left until the coldest time of the month before she could wear it, but she didn't expect that the snow would be a little unbearable, and it was really hard to imagine what it would be like if it was colder again.

The road up the mountain is very smooth, but fortunately, this mountain road has been used for I don't know how many years, and it is already very mature, so it is not very steep.

Otherwise, even if the snow is not compacted, the wooden wheels of this carriage are not like the rubber wheels that are used in the back, and it is easy to slip.

It's okay to have a slower uphill like this, plus the strength of the big bear is a little more than that of a normal horse.

There was nothing else on the carriage except for the sheepskin mattress underneath, and even the frames that were hung before and after were put into the space to reduce weight.

The carriage is not very strenuous to walk, and it is even less strenuous than the ground where there is no snow, after all, the snow also reduces friction and moves faster with a slide.

Feeling the occasional slippery wheels, Qian Yan suddenly thought of something, and said to Chouchou: "If the snow is bigger in the future, we can't walk, we can change the wheels of this carriage to sleighs, which are faster than wheels and more suitable for snow walking." ”

Ugly Ugly also agreed, "It's true, but it's too wasteful to change it with a carriage, it's better to go to the next town and customize one."

There may be ready-made snow here in winter, even if there is none, as long as we say the style or draw a drawing, it is estimated that the carpenter can also make it, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancient working people. ”

The road up the mountain was a day and a night, and at dawn, the carriage went up to the top of the mountain, and lunch was also settled on the carriage.

The meat stewed before the heat was heated directly in the carriage on a charcoal stove, and then the hot baked cakes were eaten.

Those cold buns and baked cakes, Qian Yan let the ugly chou put aside, and then eat them hot when she stopped to rest, and now she can eat ready-made ones when she is in a hurry on the road.

In fact, the stewed meat before was not cold in the space, but it was certainly not like when it was first made, they were all put into the space after eating, so it was better to heat it up, and it was more delicious when it was hot.

They didn't meet anyone on the way, maybe even if someone was resting in the mountain before, they packed up their things and hurried away as soon as the snow fell, for fear of being blocked in the mountain by the snow.

I walked to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night, yes, it was the top of the mountain, the highest position of the mountain.

When you get here, you can see the scenery on both sides without using your senses.

Although it was white after the snow, you could see the direction in which they were going to descend, and there was a village not far from the foot of the mountain.

They live in the kind of cave, which is layered at the foot of the mountain, and you can see people and cattle and sheep moving in their yard.

Tilt Yan wanted to continue on the road, but she had already walked for a day and a night, and even if she and Chou were not tired, Da Xiong couldn't hold on for so long, so she could only rest here.

It didn't look like it was going to snow, but it was already daytime the next day, there were no clouds in the sky, and the sun was about to come out, so I was relieved to find a flat place to rest on the top of the mountain.

Let Chou Chou use his divine sense to look at the situation on both sides of the road, and found that there were people walking this way on this road, and there were both sides, so he didn't take out the wooden house, but directly surrounded the vicinity of the carriage with straw curtains and tarpaulin.

Because it was at the top of the mountain, it would block the wind blowing on both sides, and then the carriage was unloaded from the bear, and the wheels were resting on a low branch.

Then he built a fire pit with stones in the middle, lit a fire with charcoal, so that the bear would not be too cold, and fed it water and forage so that he could rest for a while.

Dumping Yan and the rich and ugly were lighting charcoal stoves in the carriage, because there was no chimney, so they didn't dare to block the curtain in front of them, leaving a crack.

The carriage was parked in the direction of the southeast, with its back to the northwest wind, so it was not too uncomfortable to get some cold air in.

Dumping Yan wrapped in a big coat and hugged the rich. In addition, there is a stove, and the temperature is okay, so I fell asleep in a daze after a while.

She didn't worry about the fire going out outside, and the ugly would add charcoal to it from time to time.

Because of the snow, it is difficult to find dry branches on this mountain, and some of the branches that come out of the snow will be a little damp, and they will smoke when burned, so they will simply be burned with charcoal in the space.

Although there is not such a large flame, the temperature is not low, and it is higher than an open flame.

The space around them is still relatively large, so the big bear can turn around inside, and it will roast this side for a while, and then roast that side, otherwise it will be cold on one side and the other side.

Anyway, stopping like this can be regarded as rest, and you can sleep for a while.

It's the same on Tilt Yan's side, although she also slept in the car the night before, after all, it's this kind of mountain road, even if there is a snow mat, it's more bumpy, and she can't sleep comfortably, and she woke up countless times in the middle, so now she sleeps quite comfortably.

Until she was woken up by a noise, she opened her eyes in a daze, probed out with her divine sense, and saw a convoy on the road not far away.

The convoy used ox carts, a total of ten, I don't know what the carts were pulling, the oxen walked a little hard, mooing as they went.

There was no shed on the car, it was covered with an oilcloth, and she looked inside curiously and found that there were bags of grain under the oilcloth.

There is a lot of unmelted snow on the tarpaulin, which should have been braving the snow, and I don't know whether it was a merchant or the imperial court to transport grain on this snowy day.

The reason why it was noisy before was the sound of the cows and the shouting of people driving the cows.

It is possible that they were also thinking of hurrying before the snow was compacted, and the convoy quickly reached the top of the mountain.

Seeing the fence on their side, he didn't stop, so he just looked at them.

Qian Yan didn't think it was strange, it was estimated that there were not many people resting on the top of the mountain, and there was no relatively plain flat land halfway up the mountain, where there was some leeward.

It is also possible to wonder how they could carry so many straw curtains and tarpaulins with them when they only go out, and they can also fence off the carriage, which alone fills the cart.

The people in the convoy just glanced at it and went over directly, and when Qian Yan saw this, she didn't pay attention to the other party anymore, and just lay down and fell asleep again.

By noon, she had been woken up by pure hunger.

I don't know if anyone passed by here again, but I walked over without making a sound.

I got out of the car and moved around, and saw that the fire in the fire pit was still burning, but it was not as big as before, and the temperature at noon had risen a lot with the sun, even if there was no fire, it was not so cold.

Let the ugly ask the bear if he has rested, and knowing that the bear is almost resting, he got it some fresh grass and warm water, and after lunch, he got on the car and continued to set off.

Before they left, they completely extinguished the fire sugar, and even put away the remaining charcoal that had not burned through, leaving no sparks at all, otherwise it would be bad to cause a mountain fire.

When going down the mountain, it was much easier than when going up, although it was a little slippery, but fortunately, the big bear had a lot of strength, and he was still able to control the car.

In addition, the ugly ugly also helped control the carriage with his divine sense from time to time, so soon they arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

It took a day and a night to go up the mountain, and it only took half a day and a night to arrive when coming down, and they rested for two or three hours halfway up the mountain before continuing to set off, otherwise they would have arrived in the middle of the night.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I didn't rest in the village at the bottom of the mountain, after all, the village is not big, and there are no shops or the like, so it is not necessary to borrow to live in someone's house, it is better to find an empty space and take out a small cabin to be comfortable.

It's better to hurry up, find a town or county town with an inn restaurant to rest for two days, and add something, by the way, see if you can make a sleigh car to prepare.
