Chapter 20

General Shi'an lit the fire, and Zhuifeng also woke up from the cold. His clothes were already wet, but he had only baked them half-dried before going to bed, and now the cold wind was blowing all night, making his throat so hairy. If it continues to freeze, it will definitely be windy and cold tomorrow morning.

"It's too cold. It was so hot two days ago, and it's so cold tonight. This damn weather can change at any time." Zhufeng cursed thickly, sitting by the fire, rubbing his cold hands .

The cold wind whimpered and whirred, and the flames jumped left and right, as if fighting against the cold wind.

Qing Yu's face became a little heavy, "Winter is coming, if the cold wind blows tonight, the temperature will drop sharply tomorrow." He said in his heart: God really doesn't like people to have a good time, everyone will feel a little more comfortable, and again to torture people.

Looking at the rippling surface of the river blown by the wind, Zhuifeng broke the pot and said, "You might as well live here. There are fish in the river, and you can always catch one every day, so you won't starve to death."

Qingyu glanced at him, with an elder-like educational tone, "When the river freezes in winter, you will know how naive what you just said just now. I'm afraid it will be frozen and snowed, and you will have nothing to keep warm and no food, and you will freeze to death."

Shi'an rubbed Qingyu's little head, and couldn't help teasing in a warm voice: "Even if I become a child, I still love to worry so much."

Qing Yu put her hands on her cheeks, helplessly: "It's an old problem, I can't change it."

Zhuifeng laughed, "Yes, yes, what the sect master taught me is that the senior brother didn't think carefully. The senior brother is just talking, how can he really live here, but..."

He frowned again: "It's not easy anywhere to survive the winter."

In the morning of the next day, everyone felt that the temperature suddenly became much colder. Those who fled in the city brought clothes, and everyone put on thick clothes one after another. Suddenly, there was an obvious feeling that summer is going to winter.

After Zhufeng, he didn't sleep much in the middle of the night, and got up earlier in the morning than others. After his family and Zhao Qian's family got up, he had already prepared a pot of medicine.

When he was in Fu County, he found a pharmacy. Although the door of the pharmacy was locked, he climbed over the wall and entered the house because of the carefree nature of a doctor's parents. All the remaining medicinal materials were evacuated.

What is boiled by the wind is wind-cold medicine. It is best to prevent wind-cold disease in advance, not to mention that everyone has thin clothes and it is easy to catch cold, so this wind-cold medicine is even more necessary.

The two families each ate bark gnocchi for breakfast and drank the medicine, and then Zhufeng and Zhao Qian went fishing again.After the temperature dropped sharply, the river became bitter, and the wind completely dispelled the idea of ​​living by the river.

The good news is that the first time was raw and the second time was cooked. This time, he and Zhao Qian cooperated tacitly and caught three fish in just two or three quarters. Seeing that the rafts behind had passed one after another, the two stopped and the two families began to pack their things. , and then continue on your way.

In the next few days, no accidents happened, but the temperature was getting colder every day. Fortunately, Mrs. Tong had already sewed all the clothes for the six children, and wearing two layers of clothes could prevent some wind and cold.

However, the three bolts of cloth were only enough to sew six pieces of children's clothes, and the four adults were still wearing single shirts. Qingyu then took out all the adult-style clothes from Xuannv Temple. Wearing it inside can still keep out the cold.

On the sixth day of traveling on the river, the raft couldn't hold it any longer, so the two families docked and spent half a day retying the raft. This delay completely separated them from the main force.

But they didn't care. There were people who kept falling behind along the way, and the big troops didn't exist anymore.

Shi'an and Hongtao built a fire while the adults were repairing the raft.

The fire quickly ignited, Qingyu put her two little feet on the fire, maybe it was numb from the cold, but she didn't feel any pain when she got close, it was Shi'an who pulled her up, and laughed softly Said: "You want to burn your feet and you won't be able to eat them. If you get so close, you will burn yourself."

Qing Yu pursed her lips and smiled, moved a little further away, baked for a while, and gradually regained feeling in her feet.

She looked at the straw sandals that had worn out several soles, and calculated how long the straw sandals would last.Suddenly, she groaned, pointing at her straw sandals, feeling aggrieved: "These shoes only have two days of life left."

It was rare for the eldest child of the Zhao family to say a word, and handed over her shoes: "Sister, how many days will my shoes last?"

Qing Yu looked at her pair of straw sandals which were worse than her own shoes, and said with a smile, "You only have half a day to live."

"Ah" The eldest child of the Zhao family was sad, didn't she wear the back.

Qing Yu stared at one direction in the distance, and murmured, "Don't panic, we'll have shoes right away."

Wen Ya was tying wood, Qing Yu walked over and whispered a few words in her ear, Wen Ya's eyes were slightly startled, but there was no abnormality on her face, she got up and said to Zhu Feng: "You guys do it first, I will take the My daughter goes out to congratulate."

The corner of Qingyu's mouth twitched, and tears burst into her heart: Senior Sister, can't you find a better excuse?
Hearts knew that they must have other things to do, so she hurriedly put on her shoes and was about to follow, but Wen Ya turned her head and stared, "What are you doing after, you don't shit."

Qing Yu froze, and under the watchful eyes of Zhu Feng Shi An and others, Wen Ya dragged her away like a rag doll.

Hongtao sat down sullenly, and after a while, she still couldn't help clarifying to Shi'an: "I'm also a normal person, and I want to shit too."

Ten Ann: .
It got dark early in winter, and it was already dark at about [-] o'clock. Qing Yu and Wen Ya walked in the dark for two quarters of an hour and came to a village.

This place has already left the boundary of Guanyang County and entered the boundary of Chengyang County. The locust plague is mainly concentrated in Fu County and Xianglin County of Guanyang County, so it is still safe here, but there is only a surplus of food for the time being. I don't know who will come first, tomorrow or the time of death.

There is popularity in the village, but nothing can be seen in the dark.Suddenly, there was a fierce roar in the quiet night, and the whole village seemed to tremble.

Qingyu took out the Qiankun Bow from Xuannv Hall and handed it to Wen Ya, then stood on a life gate and waited.

Wen Ya held a bow and arrow, walked lightly and quickly, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The waiting time was particularly long. Qingyu changed from station to seat and then to station. After several rounds of this, she finally heard a loud scream, and a moment later, lights were turned on from house to house in the village.Qing Yu got up, patted her numb buttocks, and headed towards the village.

Wen Ya stood at the entrance of the village, surrounded by the villagers, one by one carrying oil lamps, a little frightened, but more joyful. After a stalemate like this for a while, it was unknown who took the lead. Suddenly, the villagers knelt down and all stood together. Shout "Woman".

Wen Ya persuaded her several times, but the villagers didn't get up, so she had no choice but to leave directly, anyway, she already got the things.

At this time, Qing Yu came over and called weakly: "Mother, my feet are cold."

Wen Ya glanced at her, and the hardness on her face immediately softened. The pitiful appearance of her little junior sister really made people feel distressed, "But A Niang can't weave straw sandals, Qingyu is good, bear it, and feel numb in the cold." It won't be cold anymore."

Qing Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart: Sure enough, she can't be expected to ask the elder sister to cooperate well with this kind of thing.

The villagers became enthusiastic when they saw the child. The old village chief came out, looked at Qingyu's feet that were red from the cold, and said with pity: "Oh, this baby's feet can't be frozen. You Xia, you cleaned up the big bugs for our village." , we should be grateful, I still have a pair of cloth shoes worn by my grandson at home, they should fit well, let’s walk around and sit in the house.”

Qingyu obediently let out an obedient voice, and followed the old village chief away.

Wen Ya thought for a while, carried the big bug on her shoulder, and followed.
