Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"Xiaohua, why are you down here? It's cold here, get back to the car quickly."

Daan saw Xiaohua coming this way and hurriedly stepped on the snow to welcome her.

As soon as Xiaohua got out of the car, her cheeks turned red from the cold. She sighed and rubbed her hands and asked Daan, "What's going on? Can you think of a way to leave?"

Daan turned around and looked at the wheel that was being looked at and pulled by a group of people, then looked away and looked at the little flower in front of him: "Even if I can pull the wheel out of the snow now, I can only move forward reluctantly. I’m sure I’ll have to sink in from the front.”

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as difficult.

"Ah?" Xiaohua raised her head and looked around. At this moment, they were on the official road, which happened to be out of the town and was located near a large field and forest.

There was a lot of white snow in front and behind the official road, and the large farmland on both sides of the official road was also covered with heavy snow.

The same is true for the mountains and forests in the distance.

The nearest village is to the east of the mountain forest. The village should not be there yet, and you can vaguely see a few eaves covered with snow.

"How can we deal with it? There is no village or store in front of us." Xiaohua's voice was slightly trembling from the cold. "Even if we go to the nearest village over there for help, we will probably be three or four miles away."

Three or four miles, and all of them are paths and fields covered in snow.

It is even more impossible to drive the carriage over. The carriage can only be stranded on the official road. Even if the people in the carriage get off and walk to the small village over there for help, it will be a torturous journey for three or four miles. People.

And it's covered in heavy snow. Who knows if you might miss the mark and fall into the ditch halfway?

In short, it is really difficult to be stranded on this official road.

Da'an's handsome face was also full of sadness at this time.

But he still comforted Xiaohua: "Don't panic, I have sent someone to the inn ahead for help."

"How far is it from the inn ahead of us?" Xiaohua asked.

Da'an made an estimate: "Nearly twenty miles!"

amount……

"How long will it take before we return to that town?" she asked again.

Da'an said: "It's almost twenty miles."

Xiaohua's whole body was not well.

Especially when the cold wind blows, mucus will come out of the nose.

She asked Da'an in a cold voice: "What should we do next? Should we wait for rescue from the inn on the road? Or what?"

Da'an rubbed Xiaohua's cold hands and said, "What Dad means is that if we can't do it, we can go back to the town where we stayed last night. He was worried that the inn was short of manpower due to the weather, so he returned to the town and found an inn to heat up food and tea. have."

"What about you? What do you think?" Xiaohua asked.

Da'an said: "It's definitely not possible for us to wait here. The snow has been falling. If we wait here, adults and children will freeze to death."

"But it's too far to go back to town, so we have to abandon the car and go back on foot."

"Instead of that, it would be better to leave two guards here to guard things, while the rest of us walk to the village over there to settle down."

"Huh? That village seems to be the closest, but I'm worried that the road is not easy to walk, there are many potholes..."

"It doesn't matter, you can still be careful."

"Brother Da'an, I listen to you. If we want to go to the village, we have to do it quickly and not delay!"

"Well, you call the two children back to the carriage, and then go and talk to your mother to get ready. I'll go and talk to my father." "Okay."

The young couple split up for the time being.

After two bowls of tea, the three carriages were unloaded, leaving two guards hiding in one of the carriages to guard the luggage.

The remaining six or seven guards protected Da'an and his party, and led the horses to the village three or four miles away.

Feng'er and Fuwa brother and sister sat on the horse. Xiaohua held the third child in her arms and was supported by Daan.

Yang Huazhong and Sun also supported each other, and the group braved the wind and snow to go to the only village nearby for help...

……

This village is called Yuqianzhuang, and there are only twenty or thirty households in the village. After Yang Huazhong and his party entered the village, they found that this village was several times poorer and backward than Changping Village.

There are all thatched houses with adobe walls, and in front of each house there is a small courtyard made of stones that is half a person's height.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhong looked at the thick snow falling on the thatched roofs of the villagers' houses. The father and son looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

To be honest, with such a thatched roof, they were really worried that it would be crushed by snow at any time.

The collapsed roofs fell down, putting the people inside in even greater danger. There was also a heavy snowstorm many years ago. The roofs of several houses in Changping Village collapsed, and people were crushed to death...

"Father, Dad, are we there yet? I'm so cold!"

Fuwa, who had previously been immersed in the joy of the heavy snow, was now sitting on a horse. Although she was wearing a cotton coat, cotton shoes, a cloak, and a hat on her head, the little girl who was several years old and pampered had been exposed to the wind for a long time. Exposed in the snow, I have already become impatient with the cold.

"We're here," Da'an said, gesturing towards Feng'er who was sitting behind Fuwa.

The little boy Feng'er then held his sister in his arms and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister, you can enter the house soon. Please be patient."

Not to mention that children can't bear it anymore, even adults can't bear it anymore.

Xiaohua hugged the child wrapped in a small quilt tightly in her arms. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and her teeth were constantly colliding, making a clear and crisp sound.

Mrs. Sun was also pale and panting. Every breath she took in breathed cool air into her throat. Every breath was like a bellows, her chest whirred and her throat hurt.

So much so that Sun didn't have the energy to speak.

Da'an felt anxious when he saw the state of his family.

He said to Yang Huazhong: "Dad, let's go to the village and find a family that looks the most arrogant for help!"

Looking the grandest means that the house of that house should look relatively sturdier than other houses.

We have already entered the village, and we don’t care if we take a few more steps. Safety is always the first priority.

The group then walked into the village. They could see the village with twenty or thirty households at a glance. Then Daan chose the house with five large tile-roofed houses in the south and went up to knock on the door.

The door opened just after a few knocks. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a patched cotton-padded jacket and a face full of wrinkles.

He looked at the unfamiliar face standing at the door with a wary expression. He saw that the other person was a young man wearing luxurious clothes, looking pampered, and followed by two guards with swords.

The middle-aged man shrank back subconsciously, but his waist bent a little subconsciously, "Who are you looking for, sir?"

The young man outside the door came forward and bowed politely to the middle-aged man, "Hello, fellow countrymen, my name is Yang Yong'an, from Wanghai County, and I am working in other places with my family."

"This time I brought my family back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year, but I was unexpectedly blocked by the wind and snow. I came here to ask for help from my neighbors. I hope it will be convenient for our family to stay temporarily..."
