Chapter 29 I won't give you the carriage
Qian Zhengchang sneered. No matter how big a snowball is, what danger can it cause?
Doesn't he think that he can solve the avalanche crisis in this area with just one snowball?
joke!
Qian Zhengchang was about to speak sarcastically, but at the moment the snowball rolled down, a rumbling sound was heard.
The earth seemed to shake.
The snow on the top of the mountain also slid down.
Qian Zhengchang didn't wipe his body off and slid down with the snow.
This frightened him so much that his face turned pale. He stretched out his hands to try to stop himself from sliding down, but it was useless. His body still slid down uncontrollably along with the snow.
It's over.
Is he going to be buried alive in the snow?
Especially when he saw the large amount of snow rushing down like a flood, Qian Zhengchang, whose body was sliding down uncontrollably, had a look of despair on his face.
He is dead!
Just when he thought he was about to be swallowed by the snow, someone suddenly grabbed his hand and his body stopped sliding down.
He looked up suddenly.
It’s Xu Wuyan!
Qian Zhengchang looked at Xu Wuyan with complicated eyes.
Xu Wuyan's legs were hooked upside down on a crooked tree, his hands struggling to grasp Qian Zhengchang's, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Bear with it for a moment."
Only after the snow on the top of the mountain stopped falling and it was safe did Xu Wuyan release his hands and feet.
After breathing a sigh of relief, he jumped up.
Then he looked at the snowball rolling downwards.
The snowball rolled very fast, and all the snow fell with it. The more it rolled, the bigger it became, like a huge monster.
Xu Pinggui and others were horrified.
If someone were caught in such a big snowball, they would probably die.
Qian Zhengchang, who was lying there gasping for breath, also saw this scene and gasped.
If he hadn't been caught just now, he would have been caught in this snowball and was in danger of death.
A narrow escape from death...
Qian Zhengchang's eyes flashed, now is the opportunity.
I'm sorry.
Qian Zhengchang became ruthless and stretched out his leg to sweep towards Xu Wuyan.
But the feeling of failure startled him.
Looking closely, I saw Xu Wuyan had already jumped onto a protruding rock on the side.
And his eyes were looking at him coldly.
Qian Zhengchang felt guilty and turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to look Xu Wuyan in the eye.
Xu Wuyan ignored Qian Zhengchang, jumped again, and returned to Xu Pinggui and the others.
I watched the big snowball roll across the road down the mountain, continue to roll down the slope in front, and finally turn into a pile of snow with a bang and then remain silent.
“Go down the mountain!”
Xu Wuyan led Xu Pinggui and a few others and walked quickly down the mountain.
As for Qian Zhengchang, a hint of coldness flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes.
I didn't want to save him just now.
But if he died like this, Old Wei would probably cause trouble for him.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, Old Wei came forward with a smile:
"Sir, you are indeed a scholar, your ideas are really useful.
With this rolling, the snow on the mountain is no longer a big deal, and because of the rolling, some of the snow on the road is also taken away, which reduces everyone's workload."
Xu Wuyan's face was calm. "Master Wei, please just call me Xu Wuyan. Ever since I was sentenced to exile, the Prince of Anping has ceased to exist."
“Get to work!”
After saying that, he took Xu Pinggui and others to join the team clearing the snow.
Lao Wei was in a good mood and raised his eyebrows.
Smart person.
Seeing Qian Zhengchang coming down the mountain in such a mess, he chuckled:
"Qian Zhengchang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so messed up?
Don't tell me you were almost buried in the snow."
Qian Zhengchang looked embarrassed, but he quickly straightened his face and said, "No, I just fell down."
"I'm glad you're alright!" Old Wei smiled as he looked at the people clearing the snow from the road and waved his whip.
"Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet?"
…
The next day, the wind and snow subsided a little.
As soon as Old Wei got up, he started cursing and urged them to leave.
If we don’t leave when the wind and snow are light, are we going to leave when the wind and snow are heavy?
Everyone had no objection.
It's cold to stay in the dilapidated temple, and it's also cold to leave.
So, we can only move forward.
Keep moving forward, maybe the next place you live will be better.
But just before departure, some minor problems occurred at the Han family's side.
Without the carriage and with Han Yushu injured, the Han family became very angry.
But when Lao Wei stepped in, no one dared to say anything.
The team finally set off again.
This time, Lin Mo learned his lesson.
Before setting off, he took some charcoal and put it in the broken pot, then brought it to the carriage.
The cold carriage instantly became much warmer because of the charcoal fire.
When walking in the snow, not only do people walk slowly, but carriages also move slowly.
In order to reduce the weight of the carriage, several women, as well as Lin Shuo and Xu Dapeng, were seated in the carriage. Xu Dapeng drove the carriage.
Originally, Lin Shuo wanted to come down and go with them.
But Xu Wuyan refused.
He is still a child, and having him here won't make much more difference.
Everyone lowered their heads, braved the wind and snow, and walked forward with heavy faces. No one spoke, nor did anyone have the desire to speak.
Talking will consume their physical strength.
From time to time, people in the team fell down, but they quickly got up from the ground.
Lin Mo had been watching the situation outside. When she passed the road they had cleared yesterday, she deliberately looked up at the mountain.
Xu Wuyan and his friends made such a loud noise yesterday that they were all startled by the noise in the dilapidated temple.
Seeing this, it’s no wonder that Xu Wuyan wanted to do this.
Xu Wuyan is a smart man.
This mountain is rocky and has few trees.
When there is too much snow on the mountain, avalanches are very likely to occur.
With so many people passing by, plus the carriages, if there was any noise, it would easily cause an avalanche.
Taking a look at the light snow falling from the sky, Lin Mo knew that the snow would soon stop.
Lin Mo warmed up a bottle of wine with a wine bottle and then put it in the wine bag.
"Xu Wuyan."
Seeing him looking at her, Lin Mo threw the wine bag filled with hot wine towards him:
"It's hot, drink a few sips to warm your body."
Xu Wuyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay!"
He opened the lid, and the warm and spicy wine flowed down his throat, instantly warming his cold body.
This wine...
It seems to be tribute wine.
Xu Wuyan shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking.
How could it be tribute wine?
He took another sip and handed it to Xu Ping'an and the others, asking them to take a sip to warm their bodies.
With these few sips of hot wine, everyone in the Xu family walked more easily than anyone else.
During the lunch break, everyone, who were very hungry and tired, took out their food and started to eat it quickly.
But Lin Mo was not in a hurry to eat.
Instead, he lit a fire and boiled some water.
After the water was boiled, they took out the rice balls they had made last night and ate them slowly with the boiling water.
In this kind of weather, drinking a hot drink makes people feel a lot more comfortable.
After Lin Mo had eaten and drunk her fill, she and her mother went to find a place to relieve themselves.
As soon as she left, Mr. Han arrived.
As soon as he arrived, Mr. Han's eyes turned red.
"Would you like some hot water?" Xu Wuyan asked distantly.
Seeing him nod, Xu Wuyan poured him a bowl.
After drinking the hot water, Mr. Han felt his body warmed up a lot.
One has to sigh that the Xu family, even though they are in dire straits, can still live a good life.
Putting down the bowl in his hand, Mr. Han looked at Xu Wuyan:
"Wu Yan, do you still recognize me as your grandfather?"
Xu Wuyan lowered his head slightly, "You are my mother's father, so you are naturally my grandfather."
His answer was ambiguous.
Mr. Han was anxious and didn't care about the ambiguity in his words. He spoke quickly:
“Wu Yan, I see that no one is sitting in your carriage.
I, your grandfather, am an old man, and I cannot stand the cold, so I can’t walk a few steps.
So, could I bring some of your cousins over for a carriage ride?"
After saying that, he pressed his hands on various parts of his body, saying it hurt here and there.
Xu Wuyan looked up and shook his head at him:
"Grandfather, no."
"We are two families after all, and this carriage is not empty.
It’s just that the horses couldn’t pull so many people in the snow, so we took turns riding.
After all, if the horse gets tired, we'll have to walk the rest of the way."
Mr. Han's face immediately sank.
He didn't expect that even after he asked for it himself, he still refused to give up the carriage to him.
"So, you can bear to watch your grandfather freeze to death or die of exhaustion in this icy and snowy place?"
"No!" Xu Wuyan shook his head.
"Since you don't know how, then you can let the carriage go." Old Master Han said firmly, not allowing Xu Wuyan to refuse:
"I'll ask your cousin and the others to come over immediately."
Xu Wuyan shook his head, "Grandfather, you'd better not bother them.
I will not give you this carriage."
Seeing Mr. Han's angry face, Xu Wuyan continued:
"Grandfather, if you are tired, you can ask your son to carry you, or ask your Han family's guards to carry you. The elders of other families who don't have carriages are carried by their sons or servants.
I think my three uncles are just as filial as anyone else and should be willing to carry you."
Mr. Han was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, his eyes widened:
"evil creature!
You unfilial thing, you let the carriage ride on a few servants instead of your grandfather?
Good, very good, you are really filial."
"Grandfather, please forgive me. I can't compete with my uncles for the opportunity to be filial to you." Xu Wuyan lowered his head.
Old Master Han was so angry that he almost fell over!
He glared at Xu Wuyan with cold eyes, then strode away angrily.
