Chapter 11: The First Stop of the Heavy Snow
Winter thunder bursts, electricity flashed and thunder roared, and the sound of dragons and tigers shook the sky.
The night sky continued to press downward, lower and lower, really really touching, the air seems to be squeezed to the extreme like, the density rises, viscous so that it is difficult to breathe.
Steeply, the air exploded, like a big ball was squeezed, the dark as ink night sky suddenly shattered into a piece of debris, revealing the original endless sky, the night debris was lifted by the gale, thrown high into the air, floating and soaring away, in a short while disappeared in the night.
At this moment, it seems that there is no more suppression and restraint, the wind and the air are free and wide space, so it is no longer as violent and unruly as before, the wind turns weak, softly blowing the snow, in mid-air, slowly drifting down.
When it was too late, everything changed in just a few dozen seconds.
The people in the room, steeply relaxing from the enormous pressure, seemed to all be a bit uncomfortable in general, breathing in the cold air in large gulps.
Plop, plop …… ouch!
Liu Bin and Yao Jing both fell to the ground, and after exclaiming out in shock, they simply sat down on the ground, enjoying the coldness coming from the ground, half squinting their eyes and panting, recovering their strength.
Several other people and Hu Laoshi, also reached out or hold the wall, or support the table of some can not stand, face reddish red.
The only exceptions were me, Chen Jin, the old woman, and Xue Zhigang, whose expressions were as normal and who stood up like a pine. I admit, I was strong, can not lose face is not it?
After a while, we all slowed down, got up, each looking for a place to sit down. Yao Jing patted the dust on his buttocks and said, "Aiyaa, just now also too strange, big winter, the air is stuffy so that people can not breathe to all, and thunder and lightning ……."
"I guess this is what the old Jiao show it, come to our village once easy it? It's not easy to come to our village once, how can we not show off?"
"That's right, the dragon, of course, when appearing, have to be a little bit of movement, otherwise why it can control the rivers, lakes and oceans, the sky rainfall and snow?"
Guo Chao and Chang Yunliang both sang together, said as if it were true.
A few brothers and sisters and pull a moment of light words, finally the old age to disturb, this old immortal thing turned his head and smiled and said, "line, the peace will be children, we will chatter, or …… drink a while?"
"Drink?" Chen Jin's tone is full of consulting the next person, but the expression is very excited, for drinking, this kid has always come to be, can not wait.
"Then …… drink for a while!" Xue Zhigang nodded his head and agreed with some difficulty, his face was full of smiles, and looked around for where to put the bottle of wine, is there any hard food?
"This …… daily drink is not good for the body ……" Yao Jing said sincerely, did not wait for me to open my mouth to say that you do not drink, this kid followed up: "But you have to drink, I'll go out of my way to drink with you! But I don't have any money on me ……."
"Fuck you!" I scolded him, a hand from the pocket to touch out a few dollars in change, greeted: "Binzi, go go, buy two bottles of wine to go!"
The old man reached out and stopped my hand holding the money, saying that I don't need to pay, he is in charge of the wine, this day he is buying.
The two of us pushed and pushed for a while, I gave up, drink his, drink his, anyway, this old boy on the body of the wine will not be able to finish.
In fact, a few of us have been wondering, how much money does the old man have? Can't it be that it really just uses its own skill to change a lot of money, or simply directly change a lot of wine? When we think so, we are envious of the not able to not be able to, if we a few can have such a skill …… that is how cool a thing? What do you want to come what ah.
When the old age from the seemingly flat show, nothing bulging arms touch out three bottles of wine, no one feels strange, see the strange well.
Hu Laoshi took out the peanuts, and the old man in his arms and touched a few, even touched out three roasted chicken, good boy, a few of us young people are staring wide-eyed, the haram all flowed out, looked at a moment of the roasted chicken, and then looked hard at the old man's breasts, pondering if the old man's arms can be ready to pull out anything we want, then we are not to it under house arrest, and when we need something, just ask for it, and we're not going to get it. When we need something, we can just ask it for it.
Most likely, when Hu Laoshi said that he wanted to put the old man under house arrest, he had thought about it in his mind.
Yes, I did so belabored Hu Laoshi in my heart at that time.
……
We didn't drink much this time, because there was still a good show to watch tonight, and that was the focus. Everyone's attention was mainly focused on the ancient clock in Hu Laoshi's house. When the clock hand pointed to eleven, our group of young people immediately stood up unanimously, and drank the wine in the cup dry, I first said: "Tonight is here, we still have plenty of time to drink in the future, we can't drink too much this time, we have to be more sober, we'll watch the show tonight!"
"Right, right, that Grandpa Hu, old woman, you two help pick the best place to watch." Chang Yunliang grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his pocket, while eating them, he said, "We have to be in place ahead of time, we can't afford to miss a second of the play, it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing!"
The brothers nodded their heads in recognition that this was indeed the case.
Old Taiyang and Hu Laoshi were in tears and laughter, so they had to drink their cups dry and nodded their heads in agreement to go out now. Old Taiyao said, "There's really nothing to see, it's just the old auger drilling around under the village devouring evil qi'er."
"Flying in the air, that's awesome!" Chang Hanqiang gave a thumbs up.
"Where are we going?" I don't have the heart to say these useful and useless words, we don't want to see how powerful the old auger is tonight? We'll naturally know after seeing it.
Hu Laoshi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, the east section of the north river bank, that higher place, to see more clearly."
"Well, that's good." Old Taiyou nodded.
The brothers immediately stopped talking nonsense and headed out under my leadership.
As soon as the door curtains were lifted, a cold wind hit the face, snowflakes drifted into the neck, cool and silky, refreshing and quite soothing.
Just see the snowflakes flying in the sky, it seems to dance in the air, floating and fluttering, sprinkling, in the dark night, as if 10,000 points of white petals from the sky to land, very nice to see.
Along the east side of the canal, snow to the north, until the river embankment to the east to the highest section of the embankment.
Goose feather-like snow is still in the flurry of non-stop, look around, through the layers of snow curtains, only to see the silver, not far from the village of the entire village was draped in white silver, and the night color black and white, really is pleasing to the eye ah!
"Yao Jing, get the cigarettes!" Chen Jin suddenly shouted to Yao Jing.
"What cigarettes?" Yao Jing played dumb.
"Stop fucking pretending, I saw you take away three packs of cigarettes from the table when you came out." Chen Jin immediately scolded.
Yao Jing smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly reached out from his pocket to touch out the cigarettes, and then gave the crowd scattered cigarettes, while saying, "Hey, hey, I forgot, I forgot, in fact, there are not three packs, are half a pack of half a pack of half a pack of half a pack of half a pack of."
One by one, all the people took the cigarettes from Yao Jing's hands and looked at Yao Jing with eyes full of contempt and disdain.
After lighting the cigarettes, Xue Zhigang said, "Grandpa Hu, old woman, you old …… are we going back to the village in a while to help out ah? Let the old Jiao a person busy, we are idle to watch the play, how embarrassed ah! Right?"
Hu Laoshi and the old woman looked at each other, face full of smiles, do not wait for the two of them to reply, I grabbed said: "Come on, ah, Zhigang, people Laojiao that is what things? Almost immortal, do we need to help? Besides, even if we let you help, can you help?"
Chen Jin said, "Hey hey, don't say that, Zhi Gang is also good intentions, so, Zhi Gang, I support you! Go on, go on!"
"Go do what?" Xue Zhigang asked suspiciously.
"Fuck, I don't know what to do. Didn't you say you were going to help? I'll support you spiritually!" Chen Jin laughed.
"Fuck you!" Only then did Xue Zhigang come back to his senses, laughing and cursing Chen Jin.
……
Not much later, the crowd was covered in silver, each one was like a snowman, everyone hurriedly shook the snow off their bodies while talking and laughing.
I said: "too old, you old is not to each of us to change an umbrella out, and then each person a stool to sit on, this is like a theater like it!"
As soon as the words were uttered, the brothers all cast their eyes toward the old age, expecting the old age to really change the umbrella and stool for us, after all, standing in the snow for two hours is not a joke, cold and tired ah! Although now we do not feel how cold and tired, but this is because we just arrived here not much time.
The old man did not seem to hear me speak in general, just quietly stood on the embankment, looking at the village in the west, do not know what to think, just look at it that slightly purple-golden light eyes, full of depression and sadness.
"Hey, this is not something that can be changed just like that, you guys, why are you so lazy at such a young age? All of you honestly stand in the waiting and watching, whoever feels cold and tired, go home!" Hu Laoshi saw that the old woman was lost in thought, so he had to reprimand us.
"I'm just saying, I didn't say I had to turn out umbrellas and stools." I grinned.
Chen Jin said, "Come on, brothers, all stand, stand well, I don't believe that we are younger than an old man, Master Hu is not too tired, what do we have to say?"
"Right right ……"
A few of us twittered some words just fell, the old woman suddenly whispered: "Snow, stopped."
Hearing this, the brothers immediately raised their eyes and looked around, but found that the goose feather-like snow is still fluttering down ……
Suddenly, the snow really stopped! Non-stop and previous days that snow stops, is from big to small, gradually snowflakes fall more and more less and less, until completely no longer fall.
And this time the snow stopped very fast, so suddenly, as if by an invisible wall across the sky to stop the general, the snow was cut off.
While we were feeling strange in our hearts, Hu Laoshi took a stack of talisman paper and distributed them one by one, while saying, "Quickly, quickly, stick it to the center of the eyebrow, in a moment the old Jiao is going to make a move, hurry up, hurry up."
"The two of us don't need it, right?" I asked doubtfully as I held the talisman paper.
"Can you see the situation in the village?" Hu Laoshi asked in return.
I looked towards the village, the village under the night, covered with snow and flooded with hazy white light, it was really hard to see clearly, besides, even if you have good sight and good eyesight, it is difficult to see how clear it is, it's night. I said, "Stick this on and you can see clearly?"
"Nonsense!" Hu Laoshi glared at me and handed Chen Jin another piece of talisman paper.
"Holy shit, so this talisman paper can also be used as a telescope!" Chen Jin joked.
After Hu Lao Si handed out the talisman paper, he said bitterly, "This snow is different from the usual snow, so the talisman paper will work."
So we dipped the talisman paper in spittle and stuck it on our eyebrows while we were confused in our minds, and were about to ask what was going on, when the old woman suddenly said, "It's coming! The old auger has entered the village!"
A few of us hurriedly followed the direction of the old woman's finger to the village to see.
