It's snowing!

The snow in the north always comes quietly when everything is quiet, or it is sprinkled or raging violently, but it does not disturb people's sleep, as if it is to surprise people

When I got up in the morning, I opened the door and looked at the mountains, forests, fields, and rooftops, all of which were stained white with snow.

On such a snowy day, no adult wants to go out except for children. When children see the snow, they will always be inexplicably excited, and they will cheer and tell each other: "It's snowing~~".

But as soon as he went out, his nose was sore, and he shivered, and immediately ran back to his room, added a piece or two of clothes, and after a while ran out again to see the snow.

Stepping on the thick white snow will make a creaking sound and feel rhythmic, and some children will step on a long series of footprints on the flawless snow, or various favorite patterns.

After a while, I saw a lot of children going out to build snowmen and have snowball fights, and some helpless adults who were dragged out by their own children would become as cheerful as children after only being reserved for a while.

The snow in the south is different from the snow in the north, the snow in the south is beautiful and short-lived, and it will not be entangled too much with the earthly world.

The snow in the south is delicate and light, mostly coming at dusk, so drunk and dazed, lyrical and graceful. The snowflakes resting on the tips of the cedar leaves, like a flock of carefree birds, dance lightly on the inky blue pine needles.

If it weren't for the extremely cold winter, there would be little snow in the south. Even if it snows, it is often caught in the rain, and it disappears in a flash, dissipating faster than the rainbow stream.

The loveliest thing after the snow is the sky, clear and blue, like a child's innocent eyes. It was as if the whole world had become holy and pure, as if it had arrived in a fairyland, and people were so happy that they couldn't say a word, even if the heavy snow had made the winter flowers and trees lose a lot of flowers and leaves, people couldn't bear to blame the snow for being rude.

The snow came all the way to the south, and it became humid as the locals followed, and the snow in the south easily did not dare to have snowball fights, let alone roll in the snow. Even if you are careful, if you walk around the snow in the south, you will become damp and need to be warmed in time.

"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of it?"

In such weather, it is best to gather three or five friends, drink warm wine together, talk about vertical and horizontal, get slightly drunk and slightly drunk, lie in bed, and your mind is fluttering, and everything will become extremely beautiful.

Su Xing, Jun Moyan, and Han Ai drank around the fireplace for a night.

Su Xing said with drunken eyes: "This snow is a bit heavy, it seems that the Tang Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom are having a hard time this year." ”

Jun Mo asked, "Why does the second senior brother know?

Han Ai said: "Fourth Senior Brother, you are famous for your calligraphy and painting, but in miscellaneous studies, the second brother is indeed the bull ear of the Xuanji faction! Let me guess."

The meaning of the second senior brother is that this winter is too cold too early, and just after half of November, heavy snow has begun to fall in Yundian Province, which shows that the snow in the west and north is heavier.

The days of those barbarian aliens must be more difficult, Mengyuan, Western Regions, Xifan, and Houjin will definitely have to go south and east again to avoid the white plague, and the border pressure between Tang and Ming must have increased sharply, it is a struggle for survival, and it has nothing to do with justice, so the foreign races will fight very resolutely and never retreat. ”

Jun Mo Mo exclaimed: "Sure enough, everything is knowledgeable, it seems that I have been used to standing still in the past few years, as the so-called: sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, thank you for the guidance of the second senior brother and the seventh senior brother." ”

Su Xing said: "Fourth, I had the same feeling as you a few days ago, when I think of the little junior brother's kind of demon, I feel that I am old, and if I don't work hard to do something, no one will remember us." ”

All three of them fell silent suddenly, their eyes drifting through the window and looking out into the mountains behind them, where the snow was thicker and should have been colder, but now it was a hot scene.

Wu Idiot and Lu Qiming were shirtless, with nearly two hundred big men, who were in full swing clearing the snow in the back mountain.

In such a cold weather, all the men in winter training are only allowed to wear single clothes and pants, shivering from the cold.

It is rare for Yunnan Province to have such a heavy snowfall, especially in Wanshui County and Xuanji Mountain, all year round like spring, up to 20 days a year, basically in the days when the wax moon and the first month intersect, those days at home cat winter can be.

Usually, you can deal with it by wearing two coats at most in winter, but this year's winter in Yundian Province came too early, just entering the middle of November, the first snow arrived, and this snow was several times larger than the largest snow in previous years.

It was definitely a very painful thing for a southern man who was not cold-tolerant to be driven into the snow in the early morning to clear the snow, and the cold shovel and broom in his hand felt like holding an ice cube.

If it weren't for the muscular Master of Martial Arts and the strong and fat Master Lu Qiming staring at the side, the people who kept all of them would have dropped what they were holding, returned to the house and hid on the bed wrapped in the quilt.

Fortunately, the sun came out soon, and as long as there was sunshine in the southern winter, it would not be so cold, and everyone had basically moved their muscles and bones in the process of removing snow.

As if in an instant, warmth and physical strength also returned to them, and everyone quickened the speed of their work, and soon cleared all the roads from the back mountain to the front mountain, and then began to clear the snow in front of the doors of each building, trimming the medicine garden and animal pens.

Zhou Yong and Xia Yi took the gray kite and the green ox down the mountain early, there is not much grain stored on the mountain, more than 200 people are consuming food every day, usually the road is smooth and I don't feel any inconvenience, let the mountain send some grain and vegetables up every one or two days.

But the snow has closed the mountain road, and the grain and vegetable stores below the mountain have no way to bring food up, so they can only send people from the mountain to pick it up.

Originally, Xia Yi could go down the mountain alone, because Xuanjizi gave each disciple a Qiankun bag, and the purchased grain and vegetables could be brought back by throwing them directly into the Qiankun bag.

But the eighth senior brother Yi prisoner said that let Zhou Yong take the gray kite and the green ox with him, buy more dried vegetables such as dried beans, dried radish, and dried plum vegetables, and pick up some game or some frozen birds and beasts along the way, which can improve the recent weak food.

Since Qingniu accepted the fact that the cheap master, Tianhuo, his sense of identity and enthusiasm for work in the Xuanji faction has increased day by day.

Today he was acting as a hound, and along the way, with his keen sense of smell, he unearthed five or six frozen pheasants, wild geese, and a fawn that had been separated from his family in the snowdrifts.

Every time he found prey, the golden bull pounced like a hunting dog, took the prey back, and put it at the feet of Zhou Yong and Xia Yi.

Because most of the prey was still alive and could not be put in the Qiankun bag, Zhou Yong would take out the rope, tie the prey's feet, and throw it on the back of the green ox.

The green ox seems to like this game very much and has a lot of fun, while the gray kite, which has been squatting on his back and has not moved, is eager to die on the pine tree next to him!

Although everyone was in trouble and had to surrender to Xuanjizi's obscenity, they wouldn't work so hard to please his disciples, right? After all, he was once a demon cultivator in the Jindan period, and it was too undignified to do so.

When the gray kite was still thinking nonsense, he suddenly felt four cold gazes fall on his back, which made him shudder, and he didn't need to look back to know that his gaze belonged to Zhou Yong and Xia Yi.

These two people are the two people that Gray Kite fears the most in the Xuanji faction except for Xuanjizi, one has the beast control technique that can make him want to die, and the other has unparalleled archery skills in the world, completely restraining himself to death.

The gray kite screamed, spread its wings, flew quickly into the air, and began to circle, pretending to be looking for its prey.

He was miserable in his heart, it seemed that he had no integrity, he was still despising Qingniu just now, and he was reduced to an eagle dog so soon.

When the gray kite was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring under his feet, and his feathers exploded like a conditioned reflex, trying to move out of the air, and scolded angrily in his heart: "Lao Tzu didn't scold out loud!

There was a whoosh, and a black arrow grazed past the gray kite's ear, but it didn't hit him!

The gray kite was pleasantly surprised, could it be that it was too cold, which affected Xia Yi's archery skills, for so long, Xia Yi missed the first time and didn't shoot himself, could it be that his skills improved again, so he dodged this blow?

It was impossible to tell whether Han Ai had missed, but after a breath, the gray kite saw a corpse falling from the sky, which turned out to be the body of a brown-tailed buzzard, which was pierced by a black arrow through the neck, and died on the spot.

The gray kite only felt dizzy, the size of the brown-tailed buzzard is much larger than the gray kite, and its combat effectiveness in the wild is also much stronger, although this brown-tailed buzzard is not a spirit animal, but Xia Yi's intention is very clear, if the gray kite is disobedient, he will die next!

The gray kite dared to hesitate, stared in the air, and saw a hare foraging under a tree not far away, spread its wings and quickly pounced, and soon caught a fat rabbit, threw it at Xia Yi's feet, and then flew back to the back of the green ox, looking at Xia Yi timidly.

Xia Yi threw the dead rabbit into the Qiankun bag and said coldly: "Before returning to the mountain, there are no twelve hares, so you don't have to come back." ”

The gray kite's eyes bulged, and finally he didn't dare to resist, and immediately rose up, this time he flew far away, did not follow Zhou Yong's team, if he wanted to catch the remaining eleven hares in one morning, he would definitely not be able to do it by the way, so he had to fly deeper into the mountains to catch them.

Zhou Yong and Xia Yi are not afraid that the gray kite will escape, it has multiple prohibitions, if it does not return to Xuanji Mountain in time, they will soon know what life is better than death.

The little white ape and the little white wolf were left on Xuanji Mountain, they are now the new favorites of the Xuanji faction, especially Hu Tianyi and his six junior brothers, who always run to the back mountain after finishing their homework one day, and they simply love these three snow-white spirit pets.

Even the most introverted Li Tianer would take out his treasured Qi Gathering Pill and feed it to the three little guys, although he had already been taught a lesson by the master once, he would still secretly feed them.

Tie Yumo has been making every effort to build his own exclusive spirit weapon recently, and he has no time to guide his disciples, so he handed over the three apprentices to Su Xing to take care of, and Su Xing is extremely lazy for a day, and the disciples are basically free-range, so six children can take three spirit pets to indulge their nature in the snow. Roll around, build snowmen, have snowball fights, and have a lot of fun.

The busiest people on a snowy day are Cang'er and Yi prisoners, and with such a heavy snowfall, the business of the Chamber of Commerce will also be stagnant for a few days, so they just take this opportunity to take stock of the accounts and assess the progress.

Cang'er and Yi Prisoner Master and Apprentice worked hard all night, and the general accounts have been sorted out, and they can report to Xuan Jizi after checking again.

Prisoner Yi picked up the tea bowl, drank the residual tea in the bowl in one gulp, and said, "Third Senior Brother, the situation of the Chamber of Commerce is not ideal, we have been losing money. ”

Cang'er was rubbing his temples and pinching the seal hall with his eyes closed, it was too draining last night, and he spoke for a long time: "According to the current situation, before April next year, the Chamber of Commerce will lose money, tie in May, and start to make profits in June, I am worried that our turnover and materials will not last until that time." ”

Prisoner Yi said indignantly: "The Nineteenth Prince and Li Cheng are two cheats, they have hurt us miserably this time, and I really want to take them out and beat them." ”

At this time, Liu San came up and hurriedly changed the fresh tea for the two masters, and Sun Shui also handed over two hot towels in time to let the two masters wipe their faces and wake up.

Cang'er said: "Eighth Senior Brother, don't worry, these two months are originally the off-season, maybe things will take a turn for the better, everything will be reported to the master according to the truth, and see how his old man decides." ”
