Chapter 319
Time seemed to have stood still, and the cherry ditch in front of him gave Xiaoxian the illusion that he was still in March and April.It's not that Cherry Valley is not affected by the snow, but on the contrary, the white snow makes the various fruit trees and beautiful winter flowers in Cherry Valley more beautiful.

At the location of Mizoguchi, rows of persimmon trees covered with beeswax-colored persimmons are in stark contrast to the row of bleak tire tracks left by driving on the ground.

The roses had all withered, and the pruned flower branches were covered with icicles, which shone brightly under the chilly moonlight.

There are a few dark purple cherries hanging on the cherry tree.

The vegetation had already withered outside, and it was rare to see a variety of winter fruits hanging from branches. No wonder Fengxing was amazed.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Xiao Xian couldn't help frowning. Feng Xing might not think it, but thought that such a snow-covered ditch was very beautiful.It was Zhou Ziang's first time here, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

But Xiao Ming clearly remembered that Mei Nian once said with great pride that there was a reason why the ancestors of the Mei family chose Yingyinggou as the base camp of the Mei family.From a strategic point of view, Cherry Ditch is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only way to enter the ditch is a narrow path.

This trail forced drivers like Fengxing to park their cars at Mizoguchi and walk into the dock.Then there is the geographical location of Cherry Valley, which is located between several mountains, and the terrain is sunken downwards, forming a small basin.

In Cherry Valley, the climate is like spring all year round. Even in winter, the temperature is around [-] degrees. Even in winter, people in the valley often see people wearing thin coats, pruning flower branches, and picking fruits.

"But it's dark inside, there is really something to eat? I knew we should have eaten in the urban area before coming here," Feng Xing looked around, only to hear the unique sound of shoes soles stepping on the snow coming from in front of him. With a "creaking" sound, a man in his 50s wearing an old-fashioned Northeast police cap and a thick long coat came over. He held a charging lamp in his hand and breathed white air.

When he saw clearly that it was Xiao Xian, a smile appeared on his frozen face.But the current outfits of Cherry Valley and the old village chief obviously don't match what Mei Nian said earlier.

"Miss, Master Huang has notified you. I'm really sorry that I asked you to come here in such a cold weather." Before leaving BJ at the end of the year, Mei Nian came to the ancestral hall once, burned some incense sticks, and sacrificed ancestor.

Before leaving, she told the village chief that Xiao Xian was the heir of the Mei family she had found, and if something happened to her when she went out this trip, the future affairs of the Mei family would be handled by Xiao Xian.So the village head directly called Xiao Xian the little miss.

"Village chief, why is the village so dark, and the winter here, is it also like this in previous years?" Xiao Xian pinched off a rose branch, and the rose that was frozen in the ice slag had just spit out its core when it was rushed The temperature dropped, freezing under the cold ice and snow.

The drop in temperature in Cherry Valley caught the villagers by surprise, and they didn't even make basic cold-proof preparations.

"This is the first year like this. The temperature suddenly dropped three or four days ago. I was woken up in the middle of the night. When I opened the door, I saw that the entire Cherry Valley seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. A week ago, the weather was still warm. Yes, it was [-] or [-] degrees as usual, and in just one night, it was as cold as zero degrees, probably about the same as the temperature in BJ City." The village head is not young anymore, he is afraid of the cold, and he wears a pair of lamb wool in his hands The people in the ditch are used to the harmonious temperature of the four seasons. With such a drop in temperature, many old people and children are sick.

In the past few days, people from the ditch have been sent to the city to see a doctor, one after another.

Feng Xing didn't think so, he just drove all the way, his stomach growled in disbelief, and he felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, the village chief also heard from Mao Dazhu that Xiaoxian would come over tonight, and asked Mrs. Hua to leave a hot pot and stove, and when the person came, the hearth would be red. Ginger minced meat with shiitake mushrooms and a bowl of hot wild vegetable gnocchi.Let the three of them have a warm meal first, to get rid of the coldness on their bodies.

After Xiaoxian had eaten, Zhou Ziang was asked to accompany Fengxing first, and accompanied by the village head, went to the ancestral hall of Mei's family to look for the fragment of the ice blade left by Mei Nian.

The fragments of the ice blade were enshrined on the incense table of the ancestral hall. As the New Year approached, the fruits and drinks in the ancestral hall had already been offered.

The piece seemed to be randomly cut off by Mei Nian from the blade, it was the size of a palm, Xiao Xian bowed in front of the incense table, and respectfully removed the ice blade fragment.

"It's so cold," Xiao Xian felt a heart-piercing cold while pinching the shattered fingers.Looking closely at the top of the fragment, a layer of spider-like frost veins formed, covering the entire fragment from the center of the fragment.It's like a heart surrounded by countless blood vessels.

"Little miss, although the miss has never mentioned it, I know that you are not ordinary people. Tell me the truth, is the miss the same as the eldest, and something happened?" Wipe the corners of his eyes.

He was born in Cherry Ditch, and his ancestors were poor and white tenant farmers. When the war broke out, he lived here with his family all his life, and he planned to be buried in the ditch until his death, becoming a fertile soil to accompany this land.

Several generations of the Mei family have taken care of the old tenant farmers here all their lives. Not to mention the people here, even the soil, every flower and grass here are full of affection for the Mei family.The two sisters, Mei Xiang and Mei Nian, don't come to the dock very often, but they are the backbone of the [-] or [-] people here. Whenever something big happens, the first person everyone thinks of is Miss.

"Village Chief, don't think too much. Tell me first, when did this piece of ice blade become cold?" Xiao Xian held the fragment of the ice blade in his hand, and spiritual energy leaked out of his hand, making the cold air Spread out a little.

"About a week or so ago, the cleaning of the ancestral hall was always handled by Mrs. Hua. According to the rules, she came to clean it every other day. A while ago, because of the purchase at the end of the year, she came to do the plot every two or three days and wipe the incense case. When dusting, I found that the fragments of ice blades that were originally as warm as jade gave off a slight chill, and then after a few days, strange bluish-white ice filaments grew on the fragments. In the end, the entire fragments of ice blades were wrapped Stop." The original shards of the ice blade were transparent, but now due to the icy silk on the surface, the whole shard looks like a piece of candied fruit with frosting on it.
"The weather in the ditch has become colder in the past few days?" Since the village head vaguely knew something unusual about the Mei family, Xiao Xian asked straight to the point.

"It was a little later than that, about a day or two later. At the beginning, when the sun set in the morning and evening, the temperature was a few degrees different. Until the night I mentioned, after the temperature dropped, it never went up again. "The temperature difference in Cherry Valley is not big in the four seasons. Fruit and flower farmers asked about the needs of picking and planting. Every day, there are special weather observers who are responsible for recording the daily temperature and humidity and comparing them with previous years' previous data.

"Village chief, these days, you should first move the old people and children who can't stand the cold in the ditch to the outside. Now there are heating systems in many places in the urban area. I have an address here, which is a nursing home with a small number of people. The accommodation conditions are not bad. In winter, collective heating is used, please contact me to see how many people can be accommodated." Something must have happened to Mei Nian, but she should not be dead yet.

When Xiaoxian used spiritual energy to moisten the stiff ice blade fragments just now, she gradually felt that the spiritual energy was absorbed by the ice blade fragments.She tried to inject another breath of spiritual energy, just like water entering a dry sponge, that spiritual energy was sucked away again.After about two or three times, Xiaoxian felt the slight tremors from the ice blade fragments, as if the heart that had been paralyzed for a long time was injected with vitality again.With Xiaoxian's strength, she still couldn't explain such a phenomenon, and she still had to consult Zhou Ziang later.

"Cheng, there is one more thing. At this time of year, Wuli would provide some winter fruits and flowers to several hotels in the urban area. Those are old customers, and they signed long-term contracts. Now that the weather is so cold, let alone It is the basic income of the villagers, but there is a big problem with the performance of the contract." The village head also heard that the operation of the pharmacy also encountered difficulties, but Huang Yaoshi also said that the crisis was temporarily alleviated with the help of the young lady.He doesn't have anyone to discuss with now, so he can only find Xiaoxian to see if he can come up with something.

"Which hotels are they? Is it possible to use the situation in the dock to deal with it specially," the breach of contract caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters should fall within the scope of legal exemption.

"Even if it can be exempted, the necessary compensation is still necessary," the village head wanted to explain to several hotels that he often cooperates with, to see if he can get away with it, but after the other party reluctantly accepted it, he was very dissatisfied with their compensation amount .

"Put the elderly and children in place first. People are the most important thing. I'll think about other things," Xiaoxian stared at the ice blade in her hand. Just now, she tried to output aura to moisten the ice blade fragments At that time, the aura that the ice blade could absorb had reached saturation, and only the slightest tremor was maintained. Compared with the beginning, the chill had receded a little, but it was far from reaching the state of being as warm as jade.

Following Xiaoxian's instructions, the village head went to arrange people overnight.

When Xiao Xian left the ancestral hall, he saw Zhou Ziang standing alone in the night. The snow on the ground was very thick, which made his tall figure even more dazzling.

"Where's Uncle?" Xiaoxian didn't see Fengxing.

"He was still at Mrs. Hua's house. He said that the wild vegetable gnocchi we ate just now was very refreshing. He wanted to learn how to make it for your aunt." His wife's thoughtfulness caused a surge of excitement in his heart.

"My uncle is quite a nice person. By the way, what happened to this piece of ice blade?" Xiaoxian told the village chief when she left the ancestral hall just now. She wanted to take the piece of ice blade away. It should be closely related to Mei Nian's whereabouts at this time.
