They are very skilled at shoveling snow.
When you are in a good mood, you can build a few snowmen and stick a carrot and two chestnuts on the head to make it look decent.
Naturally, there are lazy ways to do things when you are lazy. If it is particularly cold when you get up one day, Cheng Xi will simply spread the impurities in the filtered salt blocks outside, and they will naturally melt in a short while.
"So other people have to shovel snow early in the morning, and we can still sleep in occasionally."
Shen Xingqi held the broom with great emotion, wishing she could give Cheng Xi a hug every day.
Wanting to do it yourself and being forced by the situation are two completely different concepts!
Cheng Xi put the shovel aside, took off his thick cotton gloves, and heard a rumble from outside.
"what sound?"
"Something fell?"
The three of them looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw that the thatched house of Uncle Shuanzi's house not far away was finally overwhelmed and collapsed.
Collapse...
"..."
Looking at each other.
Immediately afterwards there was an earth-shattering cry.
"Oh my God, the house has collapsed, but no one can survive!"
"What kind of sin have I committed? I still have to commit such sin at such an old age——"
"Dad, you should think of a solution. Where will we live in the future?"
"Why are you making such a fuss, you bitch? Why don't you come over and give me a hand!"
The curses of men and women were mixed together, the voices were loud and full of energy.
The villagers who were attracted by the collapse breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as the person is fine, I thought someone was buried alive."
"Shuanzi, I'm not telling you, your thatched house doesn't carry heavy loads, and you don't even clean it after such heavy snow."
"You and your wife like to be lazy on weekdays. Is it okay now?"
It has been snowing for more than 20 days, and the snow on the roofs is getting thicker and thicker. Every time the villagers pass by, they can't help but persuade Wu Shuanzi, but Wu Shuanzi is a lazy man, and his mother-in-law is even lazier than him.
It's only a matter of time before the house collapses.
However, this incident reminded the villagers that they did not dare to slack off for a moment when cleaning up their homes, for fear that one day they would be as homeless as Wu Shuanzi's family.
"No, there's still snow on my kitchen and it needs to be cleaned up!"
"Yesterday I was cooking down there, and water was dripping from it, as if it was leaking. Is this ridiculous?"
The villagers finally realized the safety hazard and went home to reinforce their houses.
Shen Xingqi looked back at the copper and iron walls of her home, feeling sad.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you still have the foresight."
Not to mention the roof, every window is armed to the teeth. There is no need to worry if it hails any day.
She didn't think much of it at the time, but she didn't expect to use it so quickly.
Looking at it now, is it an exaggeration?
not at all!
She even had the urge to go back and reinforce another layer!
Shen Xingqi didn't know that there was a word that could perfectly explain her current state, which was called "lying to win". She only felt that something called a sense of security was slowly rising in value.
With my brother and sister-in-law, everything is ready!
However, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. This sentence successfully made the two people present alert.
Shen Xingluo looked at Cheng Xi and unexpectedly met a pair of clear and translucent eyes.
"..."
After briefly looking at each other, they both looked away, and the two of them suppressed their thoughts in a tacit understanding.
No matter what the cheap husband thought, Cheng Xi became more and more sure of one thing - Shen Xingluo was definitely reborn.
The opinions put forward when discussing the reinforcement of the house almost hit it off immediately. They just checked and filled in the gaps based on the other's work, and never argued about whether it was necessary.
Cheng Xi is used to living in solid concrete houses. In her eyes, all farmhouses are dangerous houses, and her suggestion is based on the fact that farmhouses cannot give her a sense of security.
What about Shen Xingluo?
Only "he has experienced it personally" can explain it.
***
Going up the mountain again, Cheng Xi met many villagers along the way.
Gray figures were struggling to walk on the white hillside. Even if they stepped on them, they could reach the top of their thighs, but they still couldn't stop the footsteps of these villagers.
There is no way, there is no firewood at home.
In such a cold weather, keeping out the cold after filling your stomach has become the most important thing.
Whether it is cooking or maintaining the basic temperature in the house, the only choice is to burn firewood, and leaving the house has become inevitable.
The foot of the southernmost side of Shennong Mountain has been cut into a bare piece, and everyone had to climb halfway up the mountain in the wind and snow to find a new target.
Shen Mantun from Shenjia Village was also there. At this time, he was exploring the road with a tool in one hand and a cane in the other.
"Go this way, this is the way."
Just as Cheng Xi was about to leave the crowd and walk farther away, he heard a series of exclamations coming from not far away to the east.
"There is a wild boar, the wild boar is coming down the mountain!"
"Get out of the way, ahhhhh it's already coming!"
A black object that seemed to weigh three hundred kilograms was barreling straight down from the mountain at an incredible speed.
Everyone immediately went into chaos!
However, most people wear balls in order to keep warm. Not to mention being able to dodge quickly, even taking one step forward is a problem!
"Don't come here, don't come here, I don't like food!"
“Ouch—oh my God, it’s coming!”
The wild boar is ferocious. Even from a certain distance, you can clearly see the fangs on its mouth. It looks like it is flying towards everyone with a fierce energy.
The momentum is overwhelming.
Where have the villagers seen such scenes in the past?
Everyone was scared out of their wits, and some even stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.
Shen Manyun was also stunned. Fortunately, he had extraordinary concentration as a leader for many years and he reacted quickly.
"You're all running to the east, why are you standing still? Are you waiting to be hit without moving!"
Everyone was woken up by the familiar leader's voice, their sanity returned for a moment, and they hurriedly ran to the east as he said.
Except for one person.
"Live boar!"
Cheng Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was eager to try the machete in his hand.
This is her first time seeing her!
You must know that the rarity of this thing will be comparable to that of rare animals in later generations. Even if you go to the deep mountains, you have to rely on luck.
Without saying a word, Cheng Xi sharpened his knife and headed in the direction of the wild boar. His slightly lean figure was incredibly strong.
The villagers who passed by were stunned.
"Who was that just now?"
"Why did she go towards the wild boar? Was she running in the wrong direction?"
"How pitiful, I think I was so scared!"
Seeing the figure and the wild boar getting closer and closer, several people couldn't bear to look away.
"It's over, it's over. If you get hit by a wild boar, you'll either die or be disabled."
"Yao Shou! Where can I find a doctor in this cold weather?"
"If you're lucky, you might be able to pick one up... Huh?"
The next second, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Not only was the thin figure not knocked away, but she bounced neatly away from the wild boar's brute force. She quickly turned around and the machete in her hand had been accurately inserted into the wild boar's neck.
