The weather on the second day was terrible. There was heavy snow and wind, and large white flakes were floating down from the sky, swirling rapidly with the wind. A strong gust of wind blew the snow on the snowdrifts into the air, where it swirled with the new snowflakes.
These snowflakes collided with each other in mid-air, like a tornado, and the houses in the sky village disappeared in the flying snowflakes, as if only their own cabin was trembling in the wind.
Every corner of the house gradually became colder.
Chu Beichen got up early, looked at the weather and shook his head. Without a doubt, the guests coming from Gangwa River today would definitely not be able to leave and would have to stay in the cabin and wait for the snowstorm to pass.
While Shi Kun was drunk last night, Chu Beichen got a lot of useful information. He felt that it would not be a good idea to go there rashly today, and being too attentive would be bad, so he got up early in the morning to take care of his horses and livestock.
Wild horses are animals that are accustomed to living in groups. When they first arrived at Chu Beichen's house, these five wild horses were not used to it. However, after staying there for a few days and being fed with good grass and good food, and having rock sugar grains to enjoy from time to time, these five horses also became lazy and seemed to enjoy life in the cabin.
Several wild horses shared a feeding trough. After Chu Beichen finished cleaning, he added fresh and soft hay into it. In order to supplement the nutrition of the wild horses, he also sprinkled a large amount of plant particles similar to oatmeal grains on it. The wild horses liked to eat this kind of thing very much.
After feeding the proud wild horses, it was the turn of the elk and calves.
Since the wild horses were much taller, the elk and calf didn't dare to provoke the five guys. They could only watch helplessly as their owner fed the wild horses, and then they gathered around their own troughs and waited.
Chu Beichen treated the livestock in his family equally. After all, he had collected a lot of plants, which were enough to last them through the winter.
After taking care of the wild horses and bison, Chu Beichen cleaned out all the manure and garbage in the barn, and he did not waste these things.
At the back of the courtyard, Chu Beichen piled all the waste together and waited for them to ferment naturally so that they could be used to fertilize the plants in the spring.
When Chu Beichen was feeding the livestock, Dahei and the stolen dogs in the family sat in front of the doghouse seriously, watching Chu Beichen busying himself. They all knew that it would be their turn only after Chu Beichen had fed the cattle and sheep at home.
Chu Beichen prepared food for the dogs last night. The pieces of meat were put into the cabin to thaw last night. He took out large pieces of meat from the room, chopped them into small pieces with a butcher knife, and put them into the dog food bowl.
The dogs ate in a very orderly manner. Now Black Panther's two children had grown up a little.
Under the watchful eyes of the black panther and the stealing dogs, the two puppies walked to the food bowl first and ate heartily. After the puppies finished eating, the black panther went to eat the meat, and then it was the turn of the stealing dogs. Each stealing dog was very disciplined and would never eat more than they wanted. They would leave the food bowl only after eating enough for themselves.
Chu Beichen couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the empty food bowls that had been eaten up by these guys. He felt deeply that as the head of a family, it was not an easy task to solve the problem of feeding more than a dozen people.
Breakfast is potato and beef soup, and rejuvenation mud.
There is a kind of plant tuber similar to potatoes in this place. When boiled, the large amount of starch in it can be dissolved into the soup, and the taste is extremely similar to potatoes. Su Nian calls this plant tuber potato.
In the cedar forest, the precious Huichun is so abundant that it is eaten as a side dish of radish.
Su Nian chopped the Huichun into pieces, mixed it with some fragrant plant debris, and then it was ready to be eaten as a dish.
The couple has been married for many years, but they still have a deep relationship, especially during this period when their children are not around. The two seem to have returned to their youth and newlywed days, and they are very affectionate to each other every day.
The mad roar of the blizzard outside seemed to grow louder and closer to them.
By the evening, the snowstorm had subsided a little. Su Nian and Chu Beichen had already ground some wheat flour and tried to make a meal of coarse wheat noodles.
The noodles didn't taste good because the bran was not removed, but they still ate up all the noodles and soup. It was really unbearable to eat meat every day.
After dinner, Chu Beichen went to add fodder to the horses and other livestock.
Su Nian also provided dinner for the dogs in the yard. The dinner was not as substantial as breakfast. The dogs ate coarse wheat flour soup made with minced meat.
In this remote place, the needs of living things are reduced to the lowest standards.
The blizzard was still raging the next day.
The blizzard finally stopped at dusk on the third day.
A strong wind blew the snowflakes flying close to the ground. The sun, which had not been seen for a long time, emitted its afterglow of setting, and the snowflakes were illuminated by the light into a rose color. The sky was very bright, but it also looked very cold.
Chu Beichen was just thinking about going to see Shi Kun and his group when the sun suddenly disappeared, the bright snowflakes turned white again, and the wind became even stronger.
When Chu Beichen and Su Nian went to visit Shi Kun, the bearded village chief happened to be a guest there.
It has to be said that Shi Kun and his people have been running around all year round and have developed strong abilities to survive in the wild. In just a short while when the snowstorm stopped, they had already found a herd of antelopes and hunted several of them.
Large chunks of mutton were stewing in a large iron pot, and the room was steaming hot.
Shi Kun was very satisfied with the hospitality of Huo Dong Village and generously took out a night light and gave it to the bearded village chief.
This lighting device is similar to a flashlight, and the battery is very sophisticated and can be automatically charged by sunlight.
The bearded village chief was overjoyed. This was the first time he had received a high-tech product.
Shi Kun gave Chu Beichen something similar to a token. "Chu, you'll be back on the south bank of the Gangwa River next year, right? Then we can get together. I have a few more places to travel to, so I probably won't be back home until next year!"
"With this thing, you can come to the imperial palace on the south bank to find me!"
Chu Beichen accepted Shi Kun's gift with a smile. Through Shi Kun's narration, Chu Beichen already knew what the Imperial Palace was. The function of the Imperial Palace was similar to that of an administrative agency.
Therefore, Shikun's move has exposed that he is actually an official of Nan'an.
Anyway, I can't go back now, so one more friend means one more way. Chu Beichen held this idea and smiled even happier.
For this bowl, Shi Kun took out precious wine to entertain everyone. Everyone cheered and drank enthusiastically, and both the guests and the hosts were very happy.
Chu Beichen was also drunk. He didn't even bother to rush back to the cabin and fell asleep on the floor.
Early the next morning, the bearded village chief and Chu Beichen personally escorted Shi Kun's team out of the village and watched them go off into the distance.
