As the sky changes from day to night, the sun seems to rise later and later. The night sky is reluctant to fade away, as if it is holding on to something...
Above the dim sky, it was hard to tell whether it was the night or the dark clouds, and white particles began to fall gradually.
In the somewhat humid air, bursts of biting coldness come, making people wrap their collars tightly and enjoy the warmth brought by the clothes.
As the cold wind invaded the city, the white snow that quickly accumulated on the ground seemed to be foreshadowing the arrival of winter, covering the city in white.
On the spider silk square that was beginning to be covered with snow, two figures stood quietly at the entrance of the nest, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
"It's snowing, Xiaobai!"
Beibei looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky above the city, stretched out her hand with some excitement on her face, caught a few snowflakes, and said excitedly to Xiaobai!
Although the weather was getting colder and they realized that it might snow soon, they still couldn't express the excitement in their eyes when the snowflakes really started to fall!
Xiaobai looked at the snowflakes in Beibei's hands with some curiosity in his eyes. The pure white and crystal snowflakes quickly melted in her hands, which made Xiaobai feel a little amazed.
Although she had seen snow on the snow-capped mountains before, that was all solidified white snow, which was completely different from the snowflakes falling directly from the sky.
Looking at the snowflakes all over the sky in front of her, Xiaobai stretched out her hand curiously and caught a few falling snowflakes. The cool feeling in her hands made her face look curious as she looked at the quickly melting snowflakes.
As the snowflakes in his hands disappeared, Xiaobai slowly raised his head and looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky in front of him. They were like little elves, dancing in the air with the cold wind, and then slowly falling to the ground, turning into a piece of white.
Is this what humans call snow? Strange, but interesting nonetheless…
Xiaobai's eyes were soft as he looked at Beibei beside him. She was squatting on the ground, rubbing the little snow that had accumulated.
"Beibei, what are you doing?"
Xiaobai looked at Beibei's actions, asked with some confusion, and then slowly walked towards her.
In response to Xiaobai's question, Beibei looked at the snow under her that was still difficult to pile up, and said with some regret.
"I want to build a snowman, but it seems that I can't do that now..."
Although she has only experienced snow two or three times, her parents always take her to the square to build snowmen, which is really fun.
But there isn't enough snow yet, not enough to build a big snowman...
"Building a snowman?"
After hearing Beibei's answer, Xiaobai asked with some confusion on his face, not quite understanding what the other person meant.
But looking at Beibei's regretful expression, it seems like something very interesting happened...
Beibei looked up at Xiaobai's puzzled expression, and remembered that Xiaobai probably didn't know what building a snowman meant, so she began to explain it to her.
To make a snowman, you just need to use the accumulated snow to make two round balls, stack them together, and finally put some decorations on them, and you're done.
"that's all?"
Listening to Beibei's explanation, Xiaobai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and asked hesitantly.
It sounds like a simple thing, right? So what's so fun about it?
Seeing that Xiaobai looked somewhat uninterested, Beibei put on a serious expression, narrowed her eyes and spoke to Xiaobai in a pretentiously profound manner.
"Xiaobai, the fun of making a snowman is not in putting one ball on top of another ball. It's about strictly controlling the quality of the snow while collecting it, making sure there aren't too many impurities that would affect the cleanliness of the snowman. Then there's kneading the snow, and controlling the force to ensure it's neither too tight nor too loose, to prevent the snowman from collapsing. Then there's the placement of the snowman, which needs to be placed in a suitable position to increase its visual appeal while not affecting other people's movements. Be especially careful of naughty children who could easily see it and destroy it. Then there's the decorations. If you want to make the snowman more refined, you can't be careless about the decorations. Choose the material for the eyes, what to put in the nose, whether to add a hat, how to choose a scarf, what to use as an arm replacement—all of these are things you need to consider when making a snowman..."
Beibei's constant mumbling made Xiaobai's eyes widen and his brain went blank. He could no longer understand what the other person was saying.
Beibei looked at Xiaobai's confused look and couldn't help but smile. Now Xiaobai should realize that making a snowman is not an easy task.
Even though it was just a matter of putting two balls together, Beibei still wanted Xiaobai to play with her. The fun of making a snowman lies in the process and... who you are with.
"Xiaobai, when the snow is almost piled up, let's build a snowman together!"
Beibei hugged Xiaobai's arm, looked at him with some anticipation and made a suggestion.
If Xiaobai is not interested, it would be so boring for her to go alone, so she has to drag Xiaobai along.
Looking at Beibei's expectant look, Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with her idea.
Since she was free anyway, there was no problem in making a snowman with Beibei. She also wanted to see if the snowman she was talking about was really that complicated.
Seeing Xiaobai agreed, Beibei's face immediately showed a happy expression. The bright smile on her well-behaved face was like the warm sun in winter, reflected in the girl's eyes, as if the coldness around her had been dispelled.
At this time, Yao Keyun and the others also noticed the snow scene outside the window. They put on warm clothes and came downstairs together.
They looked at the flying snow all over the city, with a look of curiosity on their faces and some sighing in their eyes as they watched the flying snowflakes.
Although we are living in the end times, this spectacular scene can still attract people's curiosity, making them forget their suffering for a while and quietly enjoy this moment of peace.
It was only early morning, and the snowflakes always seemed to like to fall quietly without anyone noticing...
For Yao Keyun and the others, in this city where they have nothing to worry about, the snow scene before them is just a beautiful sight for them to enjoy.
But the heavy snow ahead is the most difficult time for those survivors who are still struggling to survive...
For them, each of the cold-resistant supplies, food for survival, and the inconvenience of snow is a severe test that they are about to face.
I wonder how many more people will die in this heavy snow...
