Chapter 204

"It's snowing outside!"

I don't know who is yelling outside. The whole cave heard it.

"What, what?"

"Is it snowing? Really? "

Hearing the news, Xu Qing, who played mahjong on the Kang, lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and ran outside.

A group of people flocked to the entrance of the cave. The grass curtain and the dead grass pile at the entrance had been removed. A thick layer of snow had fallen in the depression.

The cold wind whistled into the cave, but no one felt cold. Seeing the thick snow outside, everyone's eyes were slightly hot, and some even could not help crying.

"It's snow! It's real snow Someone grabbed a piece of snow and cried excitedly.

Then, people rushed out of the cave and stepped on the snow to look out. Xu Qing and Li Changting climbed up the hillside all the way. When they looked around, they saw that the whole world was covered with white snow.

"Ha ha ha ha, it's snowing!" Xu Qing laughed happily.

The sky is still rustling with snow, and the cold wind blows snow into Xu Qing's collar, which makes her excited.

Snow is a good omen for a good harvest!

The coming year will not be bad!

"Go back." Li Changting pulls Xu Qing back. The snow is too heavy. After a while, a layer of snow falls on their heads.

At the beginning, everyone saw that the excitement of snow eased, and then they began to talk about it.

Everyone thinks it's snowing so hard on the first day of the new year that there will be no more drought this year!

Back in the cave, everyone was happy, but Li Jinmei saw Xu Qing and Li Changting look dignified.

"What's the matter? Isn't snow a good thing? " Li Jinmei asked, how can I see Xu Qing's expression as if something is going to happen?

"It's a good thing, of course." Xu Qing said with a smile, "it's just that the snow is much bigger than in previous years, and I'm always uneasy."

Everyone knows that abnormality is a demon, but it's useless to talk about it now. We can only see what God means.

The next morning, when Xu Qing and Li Changting went to see the cave entrance, they found that the snow was knee high.

The snow is not as strong as it was yesterday, but it is not small compared with the past.

Li Jinmei smacked her tongue: "it's the first time I've seen such thick snow."

But Xu Qing said, "do you think the terrain here is too low?"

Cao Laoliu: "the terrain is too low?"

Xu Qing: "our entrance to the cave is in the mountain depression, which is full of rocks and sand. Before the drought, it should be a river. When the snow melts in the early spring, the snow water will gather into a river. As soon as the water level of the river rises, we may be flooded here. "

Li Jinmei estimated the location of the cave: "the water level has to be two meters deep to submerge us. The depression is so wide that there is not so much water. Don't worry. I don't think we'll be flooded. "

Xu Qing thought: I hope so.

Because the snow outside is constantly falling and the snow is too deep, we have to take hoes to clean up the snow at the entrance of the cave. The cave opposite them is still growing grain. How can we get out when the snow is almost too high.

Moreover, the snow blocked the vents in their tunnels and on the Kang. Originally, the vents were connected to the ground with bamboo. A piece of bamboo exposed on the ground was bent 90 degrees to prevent dust and rain from entering. As a result, the whole vent was buried because of the thick snow.

There was a heated kang burning under everyone, and the vent was buried. Everyone had to suffocate.

So from the third day of the lunar new year, every man in every family goes out to clean up the snow, sooner or later, focusing on cleaning up the snow around the vent of their own house.

However, the snow was never over. From time to time, the sound of branches breaking and falling from the snow came from the outside. If the cave had not been made to prevent collapse, the snow on the top would have been dangerous.

At the beginning of spring, when we went out to sweep snow in the morning, we found that the snow had stopped and the weather was fine.

It snowed intermittently for half a month. Now the weather is finally clear, and everyone's mood is getting better.

The weather is getting warmer, the snow is melting, and the sound of water is everywhere outside. After the snow on the hillside melts, it flows down the terrain, forming beautiful water curtains at the entrance of the mountain. The water flows from all directions into the gully, and finally into a stream, flowing downstream of the depression.

One of the four great joys in life: long drought and rain.

You can't help but wonder what's going on in the village now. There must be a lot of water in the fields. The snow water will moisten the dry fields for a year. When they go back, the dry fields will become paddy fields again!

But now the weather is not warm enough, and we have to wait for it to warm up. We all know that snow is not enough, and we have to wait for the first spring rain.

Yes, spring rain.

The sun is half covered by thick clouds in the sky. The cloud in the distance looks like a dark cloud, but it doesn't look like it. Unconsciously, there are many more rain stones at the entrance of the cave.Every day the patriarch pinched the day to calculate when it would rain, but every time he went out to have a look, he was disappointed.

In the middle of the night, everyone was awakened by a thunderbolt!

"Thunder?"

"Is it thunder?"

In order to prove that we are not dreaming, thunder came from the outside, mixed with lightning to the earth, deafening, frightening.

We all put on our clothes and went out to have a look.

As soon as the curtain at the entrance of the mountain was opened, a gust of wind swept over them, and several women were blown over.

Outside, there was a gust of mountain wind. The wind swept away the fallen leaves, and even the trees were bent. The branches were pulling each other and creaking.

It was too dark to see anything clearly. At last, we could only press the curtain with stones, but when we heard the thunder rolling overhead, we couldn't help being happy.

If it doesn't rain like this, they will write their names upside down!

For a moment, everyone was not sleepy, so they lit a fire and piled up in the cave, waiting quietly.

Half an hour later, the sound of water pouring down suddenly came from outside, crashing down on the earth, like heaven overturning the washbasin at home, pouring down from the sky!.

"It's raining!"

"Go and see if it's raining!"

Everyone rushed excitedly to the entrance of the mountain, just opened a corner of the curtain, and the strong wind mixed with water vapor rushed all over their faces.

"It's really bad. It's really bad!"

"It's raining. It's raining!"

Everyone rushed to the curtain and looked out, as if the pouring rain outside was a rare treasure. One by one, they were overjoyed.

Although it rained heavily, we didn't forget to check the vent in the cave. When we saw no water leaking in, we went back to sleep at ease. Tonight, accompanied by thunder and shower, we finally had a good dream.
