Chapter 58: Heavy Snow Seals the Mountains

From the bottom of my heart, I found that the hot spring Liu Xiu was really happy, and I was happier than being able to take advantage of the power of the plants and leaves to go in the air.

After all, he is very good at traveling, although it is a bit disturbing.

Taking advantage of the power of the plants and trees is like walking in the wind. It seems to be chic, but in fact it cannot be too fast. At most, it is just to enjoy the floating fun.

However, hot springs are different. This thing has too many benefits. Taking a bath is one aspect. If a house is built next to him, he will even solve the problem of warm winter. Although he is not afraid of the cold, who doesn’t want to live a more comfortable life?

Think about it, if you have nothing to do, you can soak in the hot spring, cook a stove of charcoal, or barbecue or hot pot, or warm a pot of old wine or tea. At that time, drink small wine and taste delicious food and watch the vast land where the snow covers the mountains is so beautiful?

The more I thought about it, the more I looked forward to it. After returning to my residence, Liu Xiu found paper and pen to recall the location of the hot spring and how to renovate the environment.

"Although the hot spring is not large, I am completely enough if I am alone. It is irregular in shape and it is not tight. Use a hammer to trim the surroundings. It is time to polish it. It is also irregular and has an irregular beauty. There are many pebbles washed down from the mountain by the lake. Pick up some and spread them in the hot spring. Secondly, build a small house next to it and use bamboo. It is quite interesting. Dig a few ditches under the house to let the hot spring water flow through the bottom of the house. In this way, the house can be warm without burning fire. Oh, by the way, I remember that there was a little iron when building the earthen water heater at that time. Take some time to create a special hot pot pot, which is convenient when cooking hot pot. After all, winter is the season for hot pot. With a special pot, charcoal fire is needed. The smoke of firewood is too strong, and you have to stuff enough charcoal to spare for the winter..."

After writing and drawing on the paper, Liu Xiu took a look and said that he was busy next, hoping to finish all this when the heavy snow came.

If the weather gets colder every day today, it may snow when it will be.

Liu Xiu learned from the book that other places do not know that Qingliu Town is nearly six months in winter every year. At that time, heavy snow will be frozen and thicker, and the thicker place will be three or four meters. Especially when he lives in the mountains, the snow will probably be thicker.

"It's hard to walk on the road when the mountains are closed with heavy snow. No wonder Mao Dong said that it's hard to go out in the face of such heavy snow. I don't know how many houses will be crushed and how many trees will be crushed by heavy snow..."

Looking at the bright moon outside the bamboo building, Liu Xiu sighed in his heart. It was not that he began to be compassionate and worried about the safety of people outside the world. After all, people in this world have to experience this once a year, and it is not his turn to worry about it. It is just that the snowfall has reached several meters deep. Before this, Liu Xiu had only heard of it but had not experienced it personally, so he was inevitably curious.

The next morning, Liu Xiu started to get busy after finishing his usual routine.

He first went to the depths of the jungle not far away, and pounded a few trees with his fists according to the tight wooden trees, then dragged them directly to the plain. Then he had another violence, blasting these trees into pieces, and finally, ignite and burn!

It is a bit troublesome to make a kiln that specializes in suffocating charcoal fires, especially to prepare enough charcoal for the whole winter. So Liu Xiu simply uses the lazy method to burn charcoal and burn a large enough fire. When the flames are extinguished, there will always be a harvest of charcoal, right?

So he lit a pile of firewood with a diameter of about fifty meters and a height of tens of meters. Although the last 90% of these wood burned wasted, the charcoal he obtained was probably enough.

Well, the ash formed by the burning of the fire can also become nutrients for farming in the coming year.

Although the open space on the plain was wide enough, in order to avoid causing a deep forest fire, Liu Xiu still cleaned up the dead grass beside the fire.

The fire was burning and rising into the sky, and Liu Xiu was almost incompatible with the cold and heat, and he felt that the heat waves were so hot that he quickly left a little.

"I don't know if practicing health care will make me not afraid of fire one day in the future. I guess it's a bit unlucky, after all, water and fire are ruthless..."

Whispering, Liu Xiu glanced at the other side of the lake, ignited such a big fire, and the neighbors peeped at each other curiously.

Looking back at the blazing flames that had soared into the sky for more than a hundred meters, Liu Xiu blinked, as if his neighbor was a little afraid of the flame? Yes, it lives in water and can vomit cold mist. It is reasonable to say that fire is a nemesis.

Regardless of it, Liu Xiu let the fire burn by himself, while he carried an iron hammer and headed towards the hot spring.

When he arrived at the hot spring, Liu Xiu ding-and-danged and tidied the hot spring into a slightly satisfied shape. After looking at the sky, the day almost passed.

For the next ten days, Liu Xiu was busy renovating the environment around the hot spring, picking up pebbles to pave the bottom of the water, polishing the surroundings, and cutting bamboo to build the house. In short, he was very busy.

During this period, he also spent a long time to collect charcoal and got four or five thousand kilograms, which were piled on the open space behind the bamboo building and were easy to use at any time. Charcoal was mainly used for food, not for heating, and it was probably enough for a winter.

It is worth mentioning that the fire he lit is big enough that it burned for a whole day and a half before it was naturally extinguished...

After nearly half a month of busy work, Liu Xiu finally transformed the hot springs. Of course, it is not as good as those unique craftsmanship designs, but it is completely OK for Liu Xiu.

The only drawback is that it is already in the upper half of the mountain, with cold temperatures and snow surrounding it, which is not suitable for plant growth. Otherwise, it would be more perfect to plant some flowers and plants around it.

Huh? If you use the heat around the hot springs to seem to be a big deal? Try it when everything revives in the coming year...

After all these, Liu Xiu rushed into the iron shed and started to beat the special pot for hot pot. He had to hurry. Seeing that the sky turned into lead-gray, clouds covered the sky, and the cold wind was whistling. Maybe when heavy snow fell, he wanted to wait for the first snow to eat hot pot to watch the snow.

After knocking for a long time, Liu Xiu barely got a relatively satisfied pot. To be honest, the special pot for cooking hot pot is of course the best for copper. Unfortunately, he does not have copper in his hand, so he will use the iron pot only. He must prepare a copper pot next year.

When he was carrying the pot and preparing to go to the hot spring, Liu Xiu looked at his bamboo house and pondered slightly.

By the way, how many meters thick will fall when the heavy snow will be, and my bamboo building will definitely not be able to withstand it will be crushed...

After a moment of entanglement, Liu Xiu felt that this was not a big deal. Then he would come to clean up the snow from time to time. Anyway, it would be snowing, and it would be impossible to destroy the bamboo building just like an avalanche.

Just doing this, and I felt relieved. Liu Xiu took the pot with some charcoal and went to the hot spring.

Two days later, the first snowflakes had already floated down unknowingly, and then more and more, the whole world turned gray and white under the floating snowflakes.

Sitting in the bamboo house beside the hot spring, Liu Xiu was surrounded by a boiling hot pot. He drank a bite of the hot spring wine and ate a bite of the spicy hot pot. He looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, and the world was silent. The vast and desolate scenery made his thoughts feel a little unspeakable.

Winter is coming, and next he will spend the long winter alone in the deep mountains...

"This place is in the deep mountains and is filled with heavy snow. However, in this primitive ecological world, I think the outside world has already started to fall, right?"

Looking at the muttering outside the mountain, Liu Xiu couldn't help but think of the stone bridge outside Qingliu Town. He didn't know if he would have the chance to see the "Broken Bridge and Snow" when the snow melted next year.

Retracting his gaze, Liu Xiu looked at some location at the foot of the mountain, where Xiaobai and their bees were living. In a trance, Liu Xiucai realized that he seemed to have not seen Xiaobai for many days.

Tsk, they should have hibernated, right? Do bees hibernate too?

Liu Xiu was not a professional beekeeper, and he didn't know this. He thought of a tangled question, that is, the vitality of bees does not seem to be very long, and Liu Xiu was not sure how many years he could live. He was a little sad that although Xiaobai seemed a little different from ordinary bees, how long could it last for him?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and turned to laugh at himself. He had become so sentimental. All things in the world had their own way of survival, like the cycle of four seasons. Just enjoy this process, and you don't have to worry too much about the result, as it would only add to your worries.

Sure enough, the weather can also affect a person's mood.

Drinking alcohol...

Seeing the snowflakes fluttering, the earth outside the window was covered with snow bit by bit, and the world was vast, Liu Xiu's heart also became sad.

Inevitably, he drank too much and didn't even read the book, so he fell drunk on the floor of the bamboo house.

Fortunately, there is a hot spring water flowing through the room, and the room is as warm as spring, so I don’t have to worry about catching a cold or getting sick because of it.

It took three days to snow. The first snow in winter is almost one meter deep!

The world is covered with silver and the crackling sound of branches being broken from time to time in the distance, as well as some dark dots on the snow, which are birds looking for food, and even silly rabbits jumping into a pit.

After the sky cleared, Liu Xiu came out of the warm little house as warm as spring. Looking at the vast earth, he couldn't help but feel excited. He walked gently on the snow under his feet, and his figure flew lightly between the sky and the earth, moving around in a free manner in the face of the cold wind.

Although the world is big, I am free.

Finally, Liu Xiu stopped at the top of a treetop bent by heavy snow, and looked back and walked on the snow without any trace!

Looking at the vast earth like this, Liu Xiu gradually felt something was missing.

What exactly is it?

After thinking about it, he slapped his forehead. Although he was leisurely and comfortable when drinking and reading books every day, he was too monotonous. He had to find some adjustments for his life.

"If you adjust your life, nothing is more suitable than music. I can't sing, but it's okay to entertain myself. It's noise to be heard. Well, it's time to learn a musical instrument. Although I don't know much, after a winter, I should be able to barely make beautiful music, right?"

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu quickly thought of a musical instrument that matches the current mood and environment.

Erhu!

"One year drum, three years of Xiao, one erhu pulls the waist and breaks the waist. Yes, just the erhu. In the future, you can also squat in the corner to play beggars and play a song like Erquan Yingyue. It's good to deceive some sentimental guys into tears..."

Thinking of the happiness, Liu Xiu decided to find a way to learn Erhu next.

But where to get an erhu...
