Chapter 48
Luo Xue suddenly remembered the air conditioning in the south and the floor heating in the north in her previous life, and she couldn't bear this old man
"Uncle, there are not many pedestrians on the street, why bother to brave the snow to sweep like this, it's not too late to sweep when the snow stops."
The old man looked up and saw that it was a girl, so he smiled and said, "I'm so old that I can't do heavy work, only this broom, which can barely be moved, has to eat." ”
Thinking of the large number of miscellaneous items purchased in her storage bag, Luo Xue flipped over her hand, pretended to take out a bottle of jade skin cream from her pocket, and handed it over
"Uncle, since life is compelled, you take this medicine, and wipe it on your face and hands every day, so that your skin will not crack due to frostbite. ”
The old man was flattered, "Girl, how embarrassed is this to take your things for no reason, such a valuable thing, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand it."
Luo Xue stuffed the jade bottle into his hand, "Take it, just clean the snow and do a good deed for everyone, I will reward you"
Looking at the old man's grateful face, Luo Xue turned around and walked back, maybe he felt that the old man was pitiful to clean the snow in this weather, but for the old man, this was the only job he could make ends meet.
Luo Xue remembered that in the winter when she was 6 years old, Steward Wu intervened and assigned her to clear the snow, and it was snowing like this that day.
Aunt Chen brought a small stove, and the two of them sat in the shed and gossiped about the scene, and there was a trace of sourness in their hearts, hoping that Aunt Chen would live well in another world.
"Grandpa, grandpa" A crisp child's voice came, and I saw a fifteen or six-year-old girl running towards the corner of the street next to her, wearing a half-worn padded jacket, with a red face, holding a small stove in her hand, shouting behind her with an excited face, Luo Xue stopped.
Watching the little girl pass by him and run towards the old man sweeping the snow behind him, the old man responded with a smile on his face, let go of the broom in his hand, picked up the little girl, and asked gently
"Why did the girl run out on such a cold day, what should I do if I freeze?"
The girl pushed the small stove in her hand in front of him, "Grandpa, warm your hands together"
Looking at the warm scene of the grandparents and grandchildren not far away, the mood was also a little better, and he walked to the inn again.
It was another few days of Qing cultivation, except for three meals a day, Luo Xue almost never went out of the room, and all the time she practiced in the copper bell, until she successfully broke through the sixth layer, and then it was more than ten days later.
After cleaning the dirt on her body and changing into clothes, Luo Xue opened the window, and the heavy snow in the sky fell like goose feathers, laying layer after layer on the ground on the street, which has been snowing for almost a month, and it seems that the people are not having a good time this year.
Suddenly, Luo Xue saw a figure curled up under the eaves of the opposite street, and her consciousness swept away, this was a man in his thirties, his clothes were ragged and thin, his eyes were closed, his face was blue, and his breath was very weak.
And within the scope of divine consciousness, there are still many figures huddled in all corners like this, including men and women, old and young, and even many of them have lost their breath and are just frozen corpses.
Luo Xue went downstairs and saw that the innkeeper was reading the account books on the first floor, so she walked over, "Shopkeeper, why are there so many refugees on the road these days." ”
The shopkeeper sighed, and said helplessly, "Girl, it's been snowing for a month, and you can't eat whatever is planted in the field."
I don't have anything to eat, and I don't have any silver, so I can only come out to beg for food," the shopkeeper said, shook his head and continued to look down at the account books.
Luo Xue thought about it, sat down on the first floor, asked the shopkeeper to serve a few dishes, and after eating, he left the inn, and went to the side to spend a few taels of silver to wrap a steamed bun shop, and then came to the opposite eaves.
Seeing that the man still didn't react, Luo Xue squatted down and probed his pulse, fainted from excessive hunger and cold, and gave him some spiritual power, and after waiting for a while, the man woke up slightly.
He opened his eyes and saw the mysterious woman in front of him, he didn't react for a while, Luo Xue put a steamed bun in his hand, "Eat it"
The man was stunned for a moment, said "thank you" in an astringent voice, picked up the steamed bun, and ate it in a big gulp.
Luo Xue saw that he was eating so urgently, and advised, "Eat slowly, don't choke"
The man nodded, but the speed of eating steamed buns did not slow down, as if he was robbed if he ate slowly.
Seeing him like this, Luo Xue stopped making a sound, and waited quietly for him to finish eating, and then said, "What's your name?"
"Dog Baby"
An adult's name is Dog Baby, Luo Xue was stunned, "Huh?"
When the man saw her surprised, he was embarrassed to explain, "When I was a child, my parents went out early and returned to the farm every day, and my local dog took me, so I was called a dog baby." ”
Luo Xue nodded, and then said, "Dog baby, this steamed bun is naturally not eaten for nothing, I need you to help me do something." ”
The dog's face was a little nervous, "What's the matter?"
"Don't worry, it's not a heinous thing, I just need you to gather all the refugees who are still alive like you, go to that steamed bun shop, and receive two steamed buns each.
I had a few words to say to them afterwards. Luo Xue stretched out her hand and pointed to the steamed bun shop diagonally opposite
The dog baby glanced at the steamed bun shop, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he really didn't expect such a good thing, his throat moved, and he said "Really" after half a sound.
Luo Xue chuckled, "What are you lying to?"
When the dog baby heard this, she got up excitedly and went to where the other refugees were, Luo Xue sat in front of the steamed bun shop and instructed the shop owner to prepare the steamed buns.
Let him go and steam more, and ask the innkeeper who lives next to him to help prop up a big shed.
In this weather, the inn has no business, and the guys are not busy, and after a while, the shed will be propped up, and it can be regarded as a big umbrella covering the snowy streets, which will immediately block the wind and snow.
The dog baby is a fast-legged person, and after a while, a bunch of refugees gathered in front of the shed one after another, and they thanked them again and again, while queuing up to receive steamed buns.
After the steamed buns were finished, there were already hundreds of people gathered in the shed, and Luo Xue looked at it almost the same, so she spoke loudly
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that everyone's life is not easy, and it is difficult to keep the food in this weather, so I want to give you a little advice today, I hope it can help you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were happy, and an old man in the crowd was very excited when he heard this, and immediately asked with an urgent face, "Girl, what can you do?"
Luo Xue pointed to the shed above her head, "You can see this shed, its function is to block the destruction of the wind and snow for us, since the shed can block the wind and snow for people, then why can't it block the wind and snow for the vegetable field." ”
Everyone suddenly showed a look of surprise, and an old woman stepped forward and asked, "Miss Luo, mean let us build a shed to grow vegetables?"
Luo Xue smiled, "Exactly"
The crowd suddenly became noisy, and they all sighed at Luo Xue's intelligence, and at the same time they were all annoyed that they didn't think of such a simple method.
After Luo Xue finished what he had to say, he dismissed the crowd and told them not to go to the streets to beg so as not to freeze to death on the streets, and the refugees agreed.
After they were all gone, and there were no refugees within the scope of her divine sense, Luo Xue felt a lot more refreshed, and the other stiff corpses around the street corner, she had no choice but to wait for the officers and soldiers to come and pull the corpses away.
The owner of the steamed bun shop sold more than 200 steamed buns today, and he smiled at Luo Xue, the big customer, and watched Luo Xue return to the inn.
After practicing for a few days in Dirong Town, the heavy snow did not stop, and Luo Xue gradually felt uneasy, is this the rhythm of freezing all living beings to death?
Packing up the baggage and putting on the hat, Luo Xue decided to continue the journey, as the improvement of cultivation, the impact of the weather on Luo Xue is getting smaller and smaller.
Walking in the snow, there are only two thin shirts on her body, but she is covered under a wide hat, and outsiders can't see her thin clothes.
When she really got out of Dirong Town, Luo Xue felt how serious the snow disaster was this time, not to mention the lakes and rivers, but the fields on the side of the road were full of ice scale.
The ice was covered with a thick layer of snow, and in this case, it seemed that my suggestion of just propping up the shed and growing vegetables would not work.
Unless they're smart, shovel the ice in the ground, make the shed low, and do something to raise the temperature.
But these, Luo Xue's hand can't stretch out so long, what can be done has been done, look at their creation.
