This year's winter was very cold, with the temperature once approaching minus 40 degrees Celsius. It was inconvenient to go out. People in the deserted villages stayed at home, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
The wilderness was completely silent, except for the howling wind and some huge rocks rolling, spinning, and crushing everything.
No one stayed in the wilderness, even some hungry birds and beasts. At this moment, they just looked at the vast white field and did not dare to go out at all. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for them would be death.
The road was already frozen, making it extremely inconvenient to walk. You would really have to fall down if you stepped on it. Moreover, the wind was howling and the clouds were thick. From time to time, you could hear some very scary things. From time to time, you could hear scary things emerging from the clouds, revealing scary faces, biting people. It caught some people's ears.
The surface of the river was already frozen, and the past waves had become so quiet now that the murmur of the river could no longer be heard. Even the sound of the waves crashing had disappeared and could not be found.
Some clumsy old cows, out of the desire to find food, appeared on the road at this time. They walked very cautiously, walking on thin ice, and never dared to be careless.
However, he was still bruised and bruised from the fall, which was very unsightly.
In such weather, Shaoqiu could only hide in the house and did not dare to go out at all. Otherwise, you will have to catch a cold.
A few days later, the deserted village was still very cold. No one dared to go out. They huddled in the house, warming themselves by the fire, or playing cards.
Uncle Hua also stayed in his room and did not dare to go out. Otherwise, once he went out, it would be difficult to come back.
The two idiots accompanied him. Although the weather was very cold, they did not care about the slippery road. They went to the river from time to time to find some prey and presented it to Uncle Hua.
But at dusk that day, when people stayed at home and did not dare to go out, these two fools really caught a big fish by the river. For some reason, they jumped on the ice from the depths of the river and let the two fools catch it. Right.
It was a very big fish. It was quite difficult for Er Fool to carry it. He fell down several times and was injured many times. Finally, he carried the big fish into Uncle Hua's house.
It was a very precious fish. People in the deserted village wanted to catch a small fish like this but could not get it. However, these two fools picked up a big one on the ice in vain and carried it on their shoulders. They were so envious for a moment. Others!
Seeing that these two fools picked up such a big fish, people in the deserted village followed suit, but what could they get? They were just some useless stones. It was simply impossible to get such a precious big fish. matter.
Not only did they give Uncle Hua a big fish, they also did a lot of work for it. Even the icy roads where these two fools passed melted for them, making it very safe to walk on them. There is no risk of falling down.
The weather was very cold. The two idiots went to the mountains at this time. Of course, other people would not dare to go because the ice and snow had already sealed the mountains, and even some of the birds and animals on the mountains had disappeared. Some people After going there, he never came back.
However, the second fool not only went to the mountains, but also came back with a large bundle of firewood and gave them all to Uncle Hua. In this freezing weather, some people were gradually freezing to death, and it was almost Uncle Hua's turn. , so scared that Aunt Hua cried day and night.
The family huddled next to the stove without fire, shivering. For a moment, they didn't know what to do. They originally wanted to go out and look for some firewood, but the weather was so cold that no one dared to go up the mountain. Even with the help of this idiot, What's the use of a big fish without firewood?
"I'll go out and take a look and bring back some firewood, what do you think?" Uncle Hua asked Aunt Hua tremblingly.
"It's too cold, you didn't see that Brother Wang coming," Aunt Hua scolded, "Didn't he go up the mountain for many days? There is still no news. Some people say that he has died on the mountain a long time ago."
"But staying like this is not an option." Uncle Hua said with a long sigh, his hands in his sleeves and clear snot hanging from the tip of his nose.
The door is closed. It had to be like this, because the place where the strong wind blew was almost in ruins. It was very bad to not close the door properly and let the strong wind blow it for no reason.
Some evil wolves howled from time to time and appeared in the deserted village. At this time, they did not dare to open the door. Otherwise, if the wolves caught them, it would really not be a child's play and they would most likely die.
One woman kept shouting, saying that she was about to freeze to death, and even said that as long as someone gave her a handful of firewood, she would do anything for them, even if it meant giving birth to a fat baby, she would be willing to do so.
At this time, Uncle Hua heard someone knocking on the door. He didn't want to open the door because at this time, he didn't know what would happen. He might eat himself.
However, when I heard the knock on the door, it was not something to be afraid of, but the two fools staying outside, saying they were bringing some charcoal.
At this time, Uncle Hua quickly opened the door of the house and went out to take a look. He was really a fool standing at the door with a bundle of firewood on his back. He didn't know how long he stood there. His head was almost covered with ice and snow. It was all white. At first glance, Going up there is even a little scary.
"Come in." Uncle Hua said friendly.
The second fool entered the house and put the bundle of firewood aside. The family lit a fire. It was blazing and warm as spring, and they were happy and comfortable.
At this time, I washed the iron pot, cooked the big fish, and sat quietly by the hot pot. I heard people coming and going in front of the door from time to time. It seemed that I wanted to come in and ask for a drink of soup, but what I got was Hua Bo's stop, and there was no one. Dare to come in, otherwise, there are two fools here, who knows what terrible things will happen.
The north wind howled by, bringing in the sound of Shaoqiu reading. Uncle Hua kept shaking his head, and the girl was silent at this time, because with this delicious fish soup, everything else Everything is nothing.
From the girl's point of view, the most important thing at this time is to drink this fish soup. Shaoqiu and love have no meaning at this time.
The shrill north wind kept whistling by, bringing in the sound of Shaoqiu's reading again. The noise made Er Fool a little impatient, so he picked up a big knife and rushed out of the house, saying that he was going to kill him, so as not to It's so noisy that it makes people want to live their lives!
However, Hua Bo caught him and didn't allow him to go out. He said it was not good. Otherwise, if people knew about it and gave people an excuse to say that he was a sinner, it would not be good.
The second fool couldn't understand this kind of thing at first, but with Uncle Hua's help, he understood it in an instant, put away the long knife, sat down at the table again, picked up the delicious food, and murmured some curses. Bad words.
The weather is really very cold. At this time, some stone and dilapidated ancient temples have begun to shout to the sky constantly. Not to mention the people in the deserted villages, at this time, are really almost forced into a desperate situation, and some can't help but feel cold. The person is already in a dying state and may die at any time.
In such weather, Shaoqiu could only sit in a dilapidated house and read a few pages of a book. The house was very cold, there was no firewood, and he could only shiver from the cold. But in such a cold night, , because of the presence of the girl, his heart was not too cold for a moment. Even though the wind outside the door was cold, there was a warm current in his heart.
With this kind of warm current, no matter how cold the weather is, so what!
No, on this night, Shaoqiu dreamed of a girl again, and as long as the girl was with him in the dream, everything was okay.
When he woke up from his dream, Shaoqiu heard someone knocking on the door. He originally thought that it was impossible for anyone to appear in front of his house in such a cold weather, but then he actually heard someone coming and going from his door. came forward and spoke to him softly.
Shaoqiu didn't dare to neglect, opened the door and looked outside. At first, the night was dim and he could hardly see anything. But in an instant, the lights came on, and a familiar silhouette appeared in front of his eyes. The person who came was not Uncle Hua. ?
"What's your purpose here, uncle?" Shaoqiu asked.
"Of course I have something to do when I come here." Uncle Hua said meaningfully while touching the mole on his chin.
"Oh, then please come in." Shaoqiu said very politely. At this time, he made tea for him and lit a charcoal fire for him. This charcoal fire was originally reserved for when he couldn't bear it anymore. Come for emergency.
But seeing Uncle Hua being so cold, he was trembling so much as if he was about to die as soon as he entered his house. At this time, if he didn't light a fire for him, and if he didn't take out the little charcoal he had, he would pay homage to him. It seems that the old man is committing a crime.
There was no other way, so Shaoqiu had no choice but to take out the little charcoal and build a big stove for it. Otherwise, if the girl's father was frozen to death, he would still want to have a good relationship with the girl. This would be impossible. It's possible.
"Uncle, are you so cold?" Shaoqiu asked with a smile.
Hua Bo was silent at this time, but kept trembling, as if staying by the stove was colder than staying outside. No, gradually you could hear his moaning sounds.
"Can the fire be bigger? It's really too cold. I've caught a cold in the past few days and I can't stand the cold." Hua Bo said quietly. He was very weak at this time and seemed not to agree to his words. He suddenly became cold. Going to all.
"Uncle," Shaoqiu glanced at Uncle Hua, feeling a little helpless at this time, "Forgive Shaoqiu for his incompetence, but we really can't get any decent charcoal at home. I'm really sorry for keeping my uncle in the cold. I hope you will, sir." There are a lot of them, I have to give you a hint, let me think about it again, in short, I must protect my uncle at all costs and never let him get cold or wind."
"Fire... I want to warm the fire..." Hua Bo said feebly. After saying this, he closed his eyes tightly again, as if he was already on his deathbed and did not want to get a pot of fire to warm him up. It just doesn’t work.
"Okay, uncle, wait. Shaoqiu will go get charcoal for you right now. Even if it's just smashing pots and selling iron, I have to take good care of you, uncle. No matter how strong the wind or snow outside the door is, I still have to be in the stove." Make a big fire."
At this time, Shaoqiu had no charcoal left at home, and with the continuous use of fire, there was not much charcoal left. At this time, he took out almost all his belongings to honor Uncle Hua, otherwise, he would be like that How can I bear it?
