Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 49: The End of Winter
December, winter.
Xu Wenyan covered himself with almost everything that could be used in the house.
The children put their beds together. Fortunately, the quilts they bought were big enough, so they gave one to Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin.
Yesterday, the day after clearing the snow, Xu Wenyan took the rabbit fur from home to Wang Cuijuan and asked her to help make a few more scarves.
It started to blow cold winds today, and the wind can cause penetrating physical damage to your body.
It's really cold enough to make you shiver.
In the morning, Xu Wenyan felt that the weather was extremely abnormal, and the family members worked together to carry the chopped firewood to the main hall.
This wind is mainly a cold current from Siberia, blowing slowly from the northwest to the south, affecting a wide area.
The main reason is that the Siberian High begins to accumulate in September and reaches its peak in winter, as the upper jet stream transfers heat through adiabatic cooling and descending advection.
Xu Wenyan couldn't believe how cold the northwest region would be this year.
If the situation gets more serious, the cold wave might be brought here. This is the worst plan Xu Wenyan has ever thought of.
Xu Wenyan didn't get a good rest the whole night. He had to take turns resting with Chen Sanlin. They couldn't let the fireplace at home go out, as it would be freezing to death in this temperature.
Xu Wenyan stayed at home for a whole week, and during this week he didn't even dare to open the door. At this time, he was just glad that he had made the decision to build a fireplace.
In the ancient society without heating, this fireplace was really a lifesaver. After the stove collapsed, Xu Wenyan moved the food to the inner room. All the cooking was done in the inner room for a week. Because the chimney was opened, the house would not be smelled of smoke.
At the same time, he was also very worried about Xiaohu, his second uncle, and the village chief's family. These were the only three families he could talk to in the village. They were not bad people, and Xu Wenyan didn't want anything to happen to them.
The strong wind stopped after a week. Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin wrapped themselves in all their clothes, put on their hats and prepared to go out to check.
"Xiao Liu, take good care of your brothers and sisters and don't go out." After giving detailed instructions, Chen Sanlin took Xu Wenyan's hand and the two of them walked out of the yard.
The snow in the entire village was blown to the south, causing the north wall of the house to be covered with ice and snow.
Also, because the snow had been frozen solid and extremely smooth after being condensed by the cold wind, the trees in the village had been blown slightly to the south, and the branches were covered with icicles.
Both of them are from the south. If Xu Wenyan hadn't been held by Chen Sanlin while walking on this smooth snow, he would have fallen many times.
The house closest to Chen's was Xiaohu's. The two of them walked in carefully, but the door was frozen. Chen Sanlin pulled it several times before he could open it.
When I walked in, I saw Xiaohu curled up in the quilt and shivering. Old Mrs. Zhang had actually been frozen to death.
Xu Wenyan just took a look, and after making sure that he was not breathing, he let out a long sigh. He was obviously such a kind old man.
"Brother Chen, take Xiaohu home." Xiaohu's home was like an ice cellar. There were burning sticks on the ground. Xiaohu also had some mild carbon monoxide poisoning and his mind was not very clear.
Walking down, Xu Wenyan fell several times before he slid down staggeringly.
The entire Jixiang Village was eerily quiet, with only the slightest whistling sound of the wind.
Xu Wenyan felt like he had arrived at a frozen apocalypse, as if he was the only living person in the world.
After finally entering the Zhou family yard, Xu Wenyan went straight to his second uncle's house, although the Zhou family's old house was in front.
He pulled the door more than ten times before finally opening it. As soon as he entered, a thick smoke came towards him. Xu Wenyan waved his hands in front of him and let the smoke out for a while before going in.
The couple hugged each other. There was also a fire burning on the ground, with a few pieces of coal at the edge. Zhou Jianye and his wife survived only by relying on the handful of coal given by Xu Wenyan.
"Wen Yan, why are you here... It's so cold today. " Zhou Jianye's voice was very weak. Xu Wenyan knew that they were also suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, but they were much better off than Xiaohu. Fortunately, the south window was slightly open.
It seems that Zhou Jianye understands something this time.
The situation of the couple was relatively good, and there was no major problem: "Uncle, aunt, I came to see you, the wind outside has died down a lot."
Just like Xu Wenyan's home, there are pots and food next to the fire. As long as we make sure we don't starve or freeze to death, it's fine.
"Silly child, you are still running in such a cold day." Wang Cuijuan looked at Xu Wenyan with emotion, tears already welling up in her eyes.
Since the separation, Wang Cuijuan has not felt the care from anyone other than her husband. Now, seeing Xu Wenyan coming to visit her specially, she is really touched by him.
Xu Wenyan shook his head: "Second uncle, the south window can be opened wider. The wind is blowing from the north, so it's not a big problem. If the ventilation is not good, it will cause charcoal poisoning."
"Wen Yan, you are so thoughtful." Zhou Jianye glanced at Xu Wenyan and lowered his head in shame. As an uncle, he was helped by his nephew's wife in every way.
"It's okay. I'll ask Chen Sanlin to bring some more charcoal later. Uncle and aunt, you must be well." After saying that, Xu Wenyan closed the door without saying anything more.
When he was about to go out, he looked into the Zhou family's old house from the window. There was still fire inside, and it seemed that the people were no longer in danger.
It was easier to get down than to get up in this icy and snowy place. Xu Wenyan slid down from it no less than ten times before he successfully met up with Chen Sanlin halfway: "You're here."
Chen Sanlin nodded, put his arm around Xu Wenyan's waist and pulled her up, and the two of them climbed back with a little difficulty.
"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work in delivering some charcoal to my second uncle and my eldest uncle's families." After thinking about it, Xu Wenyan still felt that it was not appropriate to only give it to his second uncle's family. Although He Xianhua's character was not very good, Zhou Rong and Zhou Dabao were still just children after all.
If we really freeze to death this winter, it would be a huge injustice.
"Okay." Chen Sanlin took a moment to calm down before going out again with the backpack on his back.
Xu Wenyan checked on Xiaohu's condition. He should be awake now, but he might be a little dizzy and his mind is not clear yet.
"Brother Xu, what happened to Brother Xiaohu?" Chen Xiaohua and several other children looked at Xiaohu with concern.
Xiaohu is their favorite person besides their uncle. After all, Chen Sanlin doesn’t talk to them much, but Xiaohu likes to play with children.
Xu Wenyan smiled at them and said, "Brother Xiaohu is fine, he will be fine in a while. Xiaoliu, put on your clothes and go outside to get some snow."
"kindness."
There is only a little water left at home, and the well has frozen into ice. It is not easy to drink clean water. As for the snow water, I can only boil it for a while before I can use it.
As expected, natural disasters are sins no matter what era they occur in.
Because the Chen family is some distance away from the village chief's house, Xu Wenyan decided to go at least tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the weather gets a little warmer. He didn't want to put himself and Chen Sanlin in danger.
Going to see it yourself is a favor, not a duty.
No need.
