In the cold winter, water turns into ice!
A heavy snow came quietly!
The whole night passed and everything was covered with snow.
The biting cold wind blew the snow on the branches all over the sky.
Zaojiazhuang, the poorest village in Yunrao County, has already passed the famine years, but is still facing the dilemma of not having enough food and warm clothing.
It was just dawn, and the rows of adobe houses were covered with snow. White smoke was rising from the chimneys of several households.
The old Qin family, who lives in a thatched hut near the foot of the mountain, still lives there.
Eight adults and eleven children crowded under one roof.
Old Lady Qin was wearing a green cotton coat from the Republic of China era as usual, and her half-white hair was neatly tied up.
After a quick wash, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family.
Just then, a shout woke everyone up.
When Old Man Qin heard the noise, he didn't have time to put on his pants or coat and hurried to the kitchen: "What's wrong with the old woman?"
"Mom, what happened?" The eldest brother Qin Jiandang followed behind.
Then the second son Qin Jianguo and his two daughters-in-law also appeared in the kitchen.
Old Lady Qin pointed at the ransacked kitchen and wailed, "Who the hell robbed our house? How are we going to live like this?"
Old Man Qin's face was full of wrinkles and looked terribly gloomy. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Where's the third brother?"
As he asked, Xie Yuwei, who came over, turned pale: "Dad, I got up at three o'clock to change Han'er's diaper, and he was not here!"
There was no need to guess, everyone knew where the things in the kitchen had gone, and everyone looked extremely unhappy.
Old Lady Qin said with great sorrow: "Is this damned Third Brother still a human being?
Last year, we sold all our houses, forcing us to live in this shabby place.
I just gave birth to a son this year, and he robbed me of all the gift money and lost it on drinking and gambling.
Now they have even stolen our winter food. They are going to kill our whole family!"
"What a rebellious son! Big brother and second brother, go and bring him back to me! I am going to break his legs today!" Old man Qin's eyes bulged out, and he was shaking all over, not knowing whether he was angry or cold.
"Dad, don't get angry and hurt yourself. I'm going to find the third child. You stay at home and take care of the second child." After Qin Jiandang said this, he quickly went out.
Xie Yuwei walked into the kitchen like a child who had done something wrong and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not keeping an eye on Jianjun!"
She was still in confinement, with a red cloth tied on her head and wounds of varying depths on her face.
All of this was caused by the drunk Qin Jianjun. Every time Qin Jianjun lost money, he liked to drink and beat people. Although her family members tried to stop her, she still suffered new and old injuries.
He had been kicked out countless times, but he was too shameless and relied on his brute force to look down on everyone.
He often turned the house upside down. He would make a fuss if we drove him away. He had kicked the door in pieces countless times, making the whole family restless.
The devastated Xie Yuwei could have just left, but she couldn't bear to leave her child.
If she leaves, the child will be like a parentless person.
Old Lady Qin put down the water scoop and sighed: "If we have to say sorry, it is our Qin family who is sorry for you. We have ruined your life."
Her eyes became red as she spoke. She saw all the suffering her third daughter-in-law had endured, and she knew that she stayed because of the child.
For the sake of her family's peace, she even secretly gave her son rat poison, but he didn't die after drinking it...
"Grandma, I'm hungry. What do you want to eat for breakfast?" Qin Shuang, the second daughter, came over.
She was wearing very thick clothes, but nothing to keep warm, and her face looked extremely pale.
The second daughter-in-law Zhao Yan, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Mom, I'm going to borrow some rice from my parents' home to solve the current dilemma first."
"And me, I'll go borrow some food too!" the eldest son's wife Zhang Xiumei followed.
"But your family isn't rich either, so I'll make things difficult for you!" Old Mrs. Qin looked so ashamed.
As the head of the family, she couldn't even provide everyone with basic food and clothing, and she only hated herself for being incompetent.
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll be back soon.
Shuang'er, take good care of grandma, and we'll have dinner when mom comes back."
Then they both returned to their parents' homes.
"Dad, the weather is cold, you should go to your room and put on your clothes!" Qin Jianguo walked forward with concern.
…
In the bedroom, the baby who had been sleeping suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were different from those of a baby who was ignorant of the world. Instead, he scanned the unfamiliar environment with sharp eyes.
As the number one devil in the world of immortal cultivation, he can destroy stars with a flick of his fingers.
However, when he was going through the heavenly tribulation, he was tracked down by the five Immortal Emperors, who joined forces to destroy his soul and body.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you lose, you lose, and you can’t blame anyone else!
Fortunately, he tried his best to preserve a wisp of soul, which entered the body of the newly dead baby. Everything can start all over again. He can then return to the world of immortal cultivation and turn it upside down.
It's just that the spiritual energy in this world is too scarce. When he activated the Qi training technique, the spiritual energy he absorbed was very little, which made him feel deeply powerless.
At this moment, the sound from the kitchen came into his ears, and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This group of mortals are still worried about not having enough food. No wonder the Three Realms are in chaos. They can only become burial objects and have no ability to resist at all.
But he was soon slapped in the face. He hadn't eaten for tens of thousands of years and felt hungry for the first time.
I thought I would stop being hungry if I just endured it, but I ended up getting hungrier.
