The distribution of the remaining firewood was completed, and the last trace of warmth dissipated completely in Shan Chang's bedroom, which had been kept at a constant temperature.
Principal Pei was listening to the Superintendent's report on the situation in the academy, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, until they finally became twisted.
"Food and firewood are all gone, and the students are in a normal mood. I have arranged for people to shovel the snow, but the wind is too strong and the snow is fast, so the process is very slow."
At this point, the superintendent couldn't help but complain again.
"The heavy snowfall this year is very strange. According to previous years, it is already spring. It should have been warm weather when the ice and snow melt and the willow branches will burst. You look outside, black clouds are pressing over the city, and the sky is covered with heavy snow. I don't know if I have seen a ghost. "
"You can't say anything about the strange power." Pei Shanzhang put down his pen and waited for the ink on the paper to dry. "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It is difficult to block the road due to heavy snow, but I am even more worried about it after the snow stops..."
"Are you afraid that the snow will melt and cause floods?" The superintendent waved his hand and affirmed, "You can rest assured. You just came to our town. You may not know that the dam in Liuhe Town was newly built the year before last. At that time, we used It has traveled ten miles and eight villages and has tens of thousands of laborers. I heard that the construction is strong and durable."
Pei Shanchang smiled and said nothing. If there was no problem at all, he wouldn't be here.
"The chief of the mountain... the chief of the mountain"
The sound of the baby's milk purring came from the door.
Xiangyun stretched out the door frame, revealing half of his black head and pink face, and he was looking in with big eyes.
"Abao? It's so cold, why did you run out again?"
Pei Shanchang quickly stepped forward and carried her into the house. Needless to say, her little hands were colder than his when he touched her.
Mrs. Lin held the medicine bowl in her hand. In a blink of an eye, her granddaughter, who had just learned to walk, was nowhere to be seen. It didn't take much to think that she must have gone to find the mountain chief again.
Although she knew that her granddaughter was different from other children, she was worried in her heart, always thinking about it, for fear that she might not notice A Bao fall into the snowdrift.
The snow outside was piled higher than her. If she fell into it, the snow would cover it again, burying her granddaughter in it. She would not cry to death.
As soon as Mrs. Lin entered the door, she saw her granddaughter sitting on the head of the mountain, her little eyes staring at a painting on the table, so focused that she didn't notice how anxious she was, and how angry she was for a moment.
"You want to die in a hurry, don't you? It's amazing that you can walk, can't you watch?"
He picked her up and slapped her on the butt. If she didn't calm down, she slapped her again, until Xiangyun groaned and cried out in pain and refused to let go.
Like a loach, Xiangyun found an opportunity and scurried down to the ground. He ran around the house with his short legs. Pei Shanchang was surprised to see him.
If he remembered correctly, half a month ago, this was a little girl who could stumble with her left foot and fall with her right foot while walking. How long ago was she able to run?
Do children grow up so fast?
Pei Shanchang is not married, but there are many juniors in the family. None of them can compare with Xiangyun. If he can run before he is two years old, his family members have to burn incense to pay homage to their ancestors.
Even the young marquis in Beijing, who was famous for his precocious wisdom, could not speak or walk until he was one and a half years old.
He had always loved talents, and he really liked Xiangyun. He hurriedly stepped forward to protect the baby girl behind him and covered his chest to express his gratitude.
"Dr. Lin, I couldn't sleep well last night. I always felt tight in my chest. Can you check my pulse again?"
Knowing that the mountain chief was trying to excuse his granddaughter, he said so. Of course Mrs. Lin agreed.
After a thorough examination, not only was he not sick, but he was feeling refreshed and refreshed. Compared to half a month ago, when he was sick and shivering when exposed to the cold wind, Pei Shanchang could be said to have completely changed his appearance.
But after all, it is an old disease that has been with me for more than 20 years, and it will take time to completely cure it.
As long as you follow the prescription and take the medicine for a month or two, and then take careful care for a year and a half, your fear of cold will be completely cured.
Shanchang Pei knows his body best and has seen the changes in the past few days.
No amount of words could express my gratitude to Mrs. Lin. In the end, it turned into substantial gold and silver and was stuffed into Xiangyun's small pocket.
I have to say that rich people in this era really like to make gold.
There are little golden pigs made of gold, handfuls of golden melon seeds, golden walnuts, and lifelike and exquisitely carved gold leaves.
In half a month, he saved a dozen taels, and Xiangyun almost smiled crookedly.
If it weren't for the heavy snow that closed the mountains, she would have rushed to the bank to exchange them for silver notes.
It's not that she doesn't like to sleep with gold in her arms, but it's just that gold is too conspicuous and she feels uneasy to hide it, and it's too heavy to carry around, so it's not as convenient as Jiaozi.
Just as I was thinking about when the heavy snow outside would stop, the academy boy rushed in in a hurry.
"It's not good, Chief Shan. The snow is too heavy. Several houses collapsed due to the long construction time!"
"Did you hit anyone?"
Shanchang Pei suddenly stood up, not even bothering to put on his cloak, and was about to run into the snow.
Old Mrs. Lin grabbed the cloak on the hanger and chased after her: "Slow down, put on some clothes, I haven't recovered from my illness yet, hey..."
The wind was so loud that no matter how loud the shouts were, they were all blown away.
However, the cloak in his hand was snatched away by a familiar figure, and Lin Silang only had time to shout: "It's cold outside, mother, please take A Bao back." The whole person and Song Zhang disappeared into the heavy snow.
The houses in Liuheguan are all made of blue bricks and white tiles, and they are covered with heavy snow. If they fall down, they will not be able to bear lightly. Anyone in the house will definitely be injured.
Xiangyun quickly pulled Mrs. Lin back: "Milk... let's go, medicine..."
Mrs. Lin immediately understood what her granddaughter meant, picked her up and ran to her residence.
The snowy road was slippery and the sight was obstructed, making rescue work difficult. Fortunately, the college students worked together and finally rescued all the injured before nightfall.
They were sent one by one to Mrs. Lin's house to wait for treatment.
Seven or eight people with skin injuries were given medicine and were arranged to rest in other dormitories.
For those with broken arms and legs, the situation is a little more complicated, and someone needs to keep an eye on them to prevent the wounds from worsening.
There was another one that was the most serious. Although there was no obvious skin trauma, there was blood vomiting out of the mouth all the time.
When she vomited blood for the third time, even Mrs. Lin was helpless.
