The next morning, Su Wenjun woke up slowly from his sleep, his consciousness still a little hazy. He walked towards the door as usual and prepared to open it.
He held the door handle firmly with both hands and pushed hard, but the door did not budge at all, as if it was held down by a powerful force from the outside.
Su Wenjun was slightly stunned, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, and then he increased the strength of his hands.
The muscles in his arms were tense, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. As he continued to exert force, the door finally loosened slowly and was pushed open to a narrow corner.
He couldn't wait to look out through the gap, and when he saw it, his eyes widened in shock at the scene before him.
I saw that the outside world was completely covered with ice and snow, turning into a world of ice and snow wrapped in silver.
The original village roads, trees, and houses are now buried under thick snow, with only some vague outlines visible.
The eaves were covered with long icicles, which sparkled with crystal clear light under the faint light, like sharp swords.
The mountains in the distance are rolling and covered with white snow, blending into the sky and making it difficult to distinguish the boundaries.
Su Wenjun was deeply shocked by the magnificent yet harsh snow scene. He couldn't help but open his mouth and shout loudly: "What a heavy snow!"
His voice echoed in the quiet morning, filled with wonder and awe of the magical power of nature.
The shout instantly broke the tranquility of the early morning. The other people in the house were awakened and rushed to the door, wanting to find out what was going on and witness the shocking scene brought about by the sudden heavy snow.
Overnight, the outside world was completely covered in white snow.
The heavy snow fluttered like cotton wool, falling continuously from the lead-gray sky without any sign of stopping.
The world seemed to be created by a highly skilled painter using pure white paint.
The mountains in the distance look like huge silver snakes dancing. The branches of the nearby trees are bent down by the thick snow, like millions of pear blossoms in full bloom. The houses are all wearing white hats. The whole world looks holy under the decoration of snow.
The howling cold wind blew from time to time, rolling up the snow and fog on the ground, like a dancing silver snake, adding a bit of chill and desolation.
This snow scene is truly breathtakingly beautiful.
However, faced with such beautiful scenery, there was no joy of enjoying the snow on everyone's faces. Instead, they were filled with anxiety and worry.
The layers of accumulated snow were like a huge obstacle blocking their way forward, putting their original plan to move south into a deadlock.
With such deep snow, it is extremely difficult to move forward on foot, let alone by vehicle. If you are not careful, you may fall into the waist-deep snow and be unable to move forward.
They were all worried about the delay in their trip. After all, every day of delay would mean they would arrive in Jeju later.
Just when everyone was frowning, the village chief's son hurried over.
With a solemn expression on his face, he loudly announced the village chief's decision to everyone: "The snow is too heavy. We definitely can't leave today! The village chief said that each household should send two people to work together to clear the snow and collect some firewood. In this snowy weather, staying warm and clearing the road are equally important. We can't just sit there and wait; we need to prepare for the rest of our journey in advance."
After hearing this, although everyone was still anxious, they also understood that it was useless to be anxious at the moment. The only way was to unite and follow the arrangements of the village chief to get back on the road to the south as soon as possible in this bad weather.
Everyone quickly finished their simple meal and started sweeping the snow.
At this time, the snow outside the house had been cleared to the sides of the road with the concerted efforts of everyone, piling up into small snow hills.
A small path wide enough for walking has been opened in front of every household, winding its way through the entire village, like a faint vein in the white ocean.
After the meal, no one dared to slack off at all, because they knew very well that in this snowy and icy place, cold was the biggest enemy.
So, everyone took their axes and hemp ropes and started to go out to collect firewood.
The cold after the snow is like a ferocious beast, pouncing on people with bared fangs and claws, as if to devour all the warmth.
If we don't light a fire to keep out the cold, our bodies will not be able to withstand the biting cold.
Therefore, even though the world outside is still covered with snow and the wind is still howling, they must muster up the courage to step into this world of ice and snow and collect as much firewood as possible to ensure that they can survive in this harsh weather and have enough warmth in the house to support them through this difficult time.
Su Wencheng and Su Wenjun packed their luggage and were about to step out of the room when Yao Qingshuang quickly handed them the gloves, hats and snow boots that had been prepared long ago.
Su Wenjun and Su Wencheng's eyes were instantly attracted by these items. When they saw the warm gloves, hats and shoes, their eyes were filled with uncontrollable surprise.
Su Wenjun couldn't wait to reach out and take the hat, putting it on his head at an extremely fast speed. Then, he naturally pulled down the ear protection parts on both sides of the hat so that they covered his ears just right.
A warm current slowly spread from the top of the head to the whole body, and the ears were gently wrapped by warm fur, as if the cold air was instantly isolated outside, and the whole person felt much warmer.
Yao Qingshuang couldn't help but smile as she watched Su Wenjun jumping around excitedly like a child.
She hurriedly urged, "Don't just be happy, put on your snow boots and gloves quickly. The cold in the snow is no joke. If you accidentally get your hands and feet frozen, it will be troublesome."
Su Wencheng and Su Wenjun heard this, nodded repeatedly, quickly put on their snow boots, and carefully put on their gloves.
After getting dressed, they strode towards the snow with determined expressions, and their figures gradually disappeared in the vast white world.
After they left, Yao Qingshuang turned back to the house and distributed the remaining gloves, hats and snow boots to other people in the family.
At first, when everyone saw the warm hats of Su Wencheng and the others, they felt love and envy for them.
After all, in this icy and snowy environment, such thick and beautiful warm items are really attractive.
Everyone also understood that since the two of them were going to be working in the snow for a long time, it was natural for them to have more warm equipment.
At this moment, when they could also own these items, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.
The children were so excited that they could hardly control themselves. In their innocent world, as long as they had new clothes to wear, it would be a great joy.
What's more, these hats and shoes in front of you are not only excellent in warmth, but also look very cute and pleasing.
The children took it with laughter, put on their snow boots impatiently, and put the big hats firmly on their little heads.
The snow boots were a little too big for their tender little feet, and they wobbled as they walked, just like a group of cute little penguins.
They were laughing and playing in the house, chasing each other, causing everyone to laugh.
