Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 103 Another 1 years
When Wen Yu brought his people back to the village, it was already time for ancestor worship at the end of the year.
If it were any other time, when Wen Yu came back, there would definitely be a grand ceremony.
However, the increasing wind and snow meant that the ancestor worship activities at the end of the year were also blocked by heavy snow.
The village has the custom of going to the ancestral grave mountain to worship ancestors at the end of the year, usually between the 28th and 30th. Last year, we were barely able to go up the mountain, but this year it is completely impossible.
This year's earthquake and mountain torrents have caused many changes in the geographical features of the mountains. People dare not go up the mountains even in the wind and snow.
There was no other choice but to hold the ceremony in the large ancestral hall in the village. In order to make the ceremony more grand, each family made great efforts to prepare sacrificial supplies and even slaughtered a whole pig.
After the sacrifice on the 28th, the festive atmosphere in the village became stronger.
From this day on, the villagers began to get busy with New Year preparations.
Everyone cleaned the house, put up Spring Festival couplets and hung lanterns together. It was so lively!
After Wen Yu and his friends came back, they also joined in these activities.
He helped the villagers post Spring Festival couplets and hang up red lanterns, filling the whole village with a festive atmosphere.
In addition, Jing Yao also organized some entertainment activities, such as tug-of-war competitions and singing competitions.
These activities not only allowed the villagers to feel the strong festive atmosphere, but also enhanced the feelings between them.
No matter how strong the snow is outside, the New Year's Eve dinner must be prepared. Eating well will bring good luck, health and prosperity in the coming year. This is a custom handed down in Jingyao Village, and it is also an expectation and blessing for life.
On the 29th, a northwest wind blew. The wind was incredibly strong, and it was mixed with the coldness of ice and snow. It could scrape people's flesh through several layers of clothes. The villagers hid in their homes and dared not go out easily. The weather made people feel bitingly cold, as if it could penetrate the bone marrow.
Cold! Too cold! The wind blew the snow, stirring up the entire world of ice and snow into even greater chaos. Snowflakes danced wildly in the air, and were blown everywhere by the wind, forming a vast expanse of white. Going out at this time of year, you can't even see the road clearly, and everything is covered in a vast expanse of white. The villagers can only admire the snowy scene outside through the windows, but even so, they still feel the power of the severe cold.
Faced with such bad weather, the villagers dared not go out and could only stay at home. They needed to put away the sundries on the windowsills and balconies to prevent them from being blown down by the strong wind and injuring passers-by; at the same time, they had to close the doors and windows to prevent the cold wind from entering the house. Although these measures were simple, they could keep them warm in this cold winter.
The New Year's Eve dinner was also very sumptuous. Wen Xing originally wanted to eat with his family, but he had to give up because of the heavy snow. He felt a little regretful, but he knew it was very dangerous to go out in such weather. So he decided to spend this reunion night separately.
After the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, Jing Yao's family did not stay up to celebrate the New Year, but went to bed early. It was a very cold day, so Jing Yao led Wen Qun to do some fitness exercises to warm up their bodies before going to bed.
By doing exercise, he could resist the cold and exercise his body. After doing the exercise, he felt warm all over and his mood became cheerful. Finally, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Bad things happened on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which should have been a time for people to greet each other and gather together, but the snowstorm prevented everyone from going out, and the plans to greet each other had to be cancelled.
Wen Qun clung to Jing Yao like an octopus in the morning, with one side of his face pressed against Jing Yao's chest, and he almost drooled because of the long squeeze. His legs were completely pressed against Jing Yao's legs, making Jing Yao unable to move, and he became a real "human pillow".
Since the room is well heated, Wen Qun doesn't like to be restrained by too many clothes when sleeping, and always complains that the quilt is too heavy and makes him breathless. Therefore, he now chooses to sleep in loose fleece pajamas and covers himself with a thin and warm goose down quilt to ensure that he can enjoy a comfortable sleep.
At this moment, the quilt was warm, and Jing Yao felt the body temperature of the person in his arms and the even breathing, and his heart was full of comfort and satisfaction. However, at this moment, he felt heavy on his body. It turned out that Wen Qun was lying on his chest, sleeping soundly! Jing Yao smiled dotingly, reached out and gently stroked Wen Qun's soft long hair, and really hoped that time would stay at this moment forever.
However, if skipping breakfast is bad for the body, he really can't bear to wake Wen Qun up on such a leisurely and comfortable morning! However, no matter how reluctant he is, he still has to get up when it's time.
So Jing Yao gently pinched the back of Wen Qun's neck. Although he was already asleep, his body instinctively shrank. This action made Jing Yao laugh out loud, because this was a habit that Wen Qun gradually developed after they got married. Looking at the lovely person in front of him, Jing Yao said softly, "Wake up."
Wen Qun hummed twice in a daze and twisted his body a few times, as if he wanted to continue sleeping. He tried to turn over and escape from Jing Yao's control.
Seeing this, Jing Yao quickly sat up, pulled him up, and coaxed him gently: "Qun Qun, get up quickly, eat something before going to sleep, okay? If you don't get enough sleep later, we can take a nap in the afternoon. Be obedient~"
Wen Qun frowned irritably and made a dissatisfied sound: "Hmm..."
Jing Yao sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, stop humming and wake yourself up, or I'll have to wipe your face with a cold towel."
Wen Qun turned over in his quilt and kicked his feet: "I don't have to go to pay New Year's greetings, why get up so early?"
Jing Yao shook his head helplessly: "It's not too early to develop good habits."
Wen Qun reluctantly lifted the quilt and sat up, his eyes hazy and his hair messy.
Seeing him like this, Jing Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hurry up and wash up!"
Wen Qun lazily walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet to wash his face, trying to wake himself up.
After a long while, he finally came out after washing his face, but he still looked sleepy, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
Jing Yao looked at him and sighed helplessly: "Be good, don't be angry, get up and eat dumplings."
When he heard the word "dumplings", Wen Qun's eyes suddenly lit up, he instantly became energetic, and couldn't wait to walk to the dining table and sit down.
Jing Yao brought the steaming hot dumplings to the table and said with a smile, "Try it and see how it tastes."
Wen Qun picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he praised it highly: "Wow, it's really delicious!"
Jing Yao looked at his satisfied expression and felt happy: "Then eat more."
The two happily enjoyed the delicious dumplings and felt the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.
The wind was howling outside, and snowflakes were falling. Jing Yao hurriedly heated up the kang, and then sat cross-legged on it with Wen Qun, trying to find a little warmth. Their ears were filled with the sound of wind and snow, and other than that, they could hear no other sound.
"Ayao, the wind is so strong!" Wen Qun said anxiously, with a hint of fear and worry in his eyes. He stared at Jing Yao and asked, "Will the roof of our house be blown away?"
Jing Yao smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Qun Qun. We used the best materials when we built the house and hired a professional construction team to build it. The foundation is very deep, so the house is very solid and there will be no problem."
There are mountains on both sides of the village. After the wind passes through the mountains, over the treetops, and across the vast fields, the sound of the wind becomes sharp and terrifying, like the howling of evil spirits. In addition, because the wind blows the windows and doors, even if they are strong enough, they still make a dull sound.
Although it was still daytime, the house was as dark as night, with only the candles in the bedroom emitting a faint light. However, the wind seemed to be able to penetrate the walls, causing the candlelight to sway constantly, and the shadows reflected were distorted like ghosts.
The majestic power of nature is like an unstoppable torrent, carrying with it a magnificent beauty that cannot be ignored. Human beings in the midst of it are as small as ants and appear so vulnerable.
Such a harsh environment makes people feel fearful and uneasy. All Wen Qun needed was a few warm words of comfort. He nodded, tried to calm down, and then snuggled tightly in Jing Yao's arms.
Jing Yao gently closed his eyes, leaned against the soft pillow, and rested quietly.
Life at home goes on as usual. Everyone just eats, drinks and sleeps as usual. The only focus is to take good care of their own bodies.
Time passed very slowly, as if frozen by ice and snow. The sixth day of the New Year finally arrived, but the heavy snow showed no sign of abating.
Although the row of new houses in the village was built not long ago, they are strong enough to withstand the invasion of blizzards. Fortunately, after a year of renovation, every household in the village has moved into the new house. Even in the face of such extreme weather, they can still stay at home and spend the long winter with peace of mind.
"I don't know how many degrees it is outside. It's getting colder day by day. Suddenly, the wind gets strong and the snow gets heavy. The temperature drops suddenly. I really don't know if it will get colder." Wen Qun said as he glanced out the window. There was no wind at the moment, so the snow outside the window was more clearly visible.
"This is probably a conservative estimate. The temperature may be even lower." Jing Yao said with a frown.
Wen Qun couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how the animals in the mountains are doing?"
If the temperature reaches a new extreme in the future, then now would probably be the time for them to hunt. After all, animals are always more sensitive than humans.
Thinking of this, Wen Qun sighed: "Then let's just eat lunch honestly."
Jing Yao nodded in agreement, and then said, "Let's eat fish. Eat the spicy fish you like, and some fatty beef and lamb. Let's also eat some green vegetables, such as baby cabbage and spinach."
After Jing Yao finished speaking, Wen Qun added: "And there are mushrooms, don't forget to take them out and wash them."
Wen Qun slowly got up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window, feeling a sense of emotion. He quickly put on his clothes, took out a pot and put it on the table, then lit the stove and let the flames burn.
Then, he carefully put the cooked fish into the pot. This fish was a sea fish with few bones, weighing at least five pounds, enough for two people. In addition, he also prepared side dishes such as fat beef, fat lamb, spinach, cabbage and pumpkin. These ingredients were cooked together with the fish, and the aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.
Wen Qun buried the pumpkin at the bottom of the pot so that it could better absorb the delicious taste of the fish soup. As he tasted the fish, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Don't bears like to eat fish the most?"
Jing Yao was sitting nearby. After hearing what Wen Qun said, he smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, we are indoors now, and the black bear is outside. We have weapons, so if the black bear really comes, we don't have to be afraid. Maybe we can even shoot it from a distance and turn it into a delicious meal!"
Wen Qun heard this and immediately made a "Puh" sound to express his dissatisfaction. He retorted: "The bad ones don't work, but the good ones do. I don't want to eat this kind of meat."
At this time, the cold front arrived early, and the sky became increasingly gloomy. Before half past five, it was completely dark, the wind and snow gradually increased, and the windows were whistling in the wind.
The snow and wind were so strong that their neighbors weren't out shoveling snow like usual, and the areas they could see became less and less as the day went on.
Perhaps due to overwork or due to the severe cold, Wen Qun began to show cold symptoms that night.
Jing Yao quickly prepared some cold medicine for Wen Qun to take and told him to rest early.
In the days ahead, the living environment will undoubtedly continue to deteriorate. To survive, we must first ensure the health of the Wen group and secondly, be prepared for evacuation.
The yard is strong enough to withstand wind and snow, but there are concerns that the temperature will drop further in the future.
Thinking of this, he looked out the window. The white sky made it impossible to see anything clearly. He closed his eyes and released his mental power. He had been paying close attention to the external situation and knew that the current situation was serious.
"My physical condition is too bad." Jing Yao frowned.
"I don't want this to happen either, cough cough." Wen Qun replied with a cough.
"Drink this medicine. It contains vitality liquid that can enhance your vitality." Jing Yao handed him a bottle of potion, which was condensed with supernatural powers.
"Thank you, Ayao." Wen Qun said gratefully.
"Don't talk about that. As long as you get well soon, that's all that's fine." Jing Yao said lovingly.
The snow stopped, and it stopped abruptly, as if nature had suddenly changed its mind. One moment, the snow was blowing all over the sky, like an exciting symphony, and the next moment, everything came to an abrupt halt, without even a transitional note left.
The sky was still shrouded in a layer of gray, as if a huge, boundless gray cloth was covering it.
Jing Yao completed the task of clearing the snow from the roof and his body was sweating slightly.
Bathing in the warm water, Jing Yao felt refreshed. When he walked out of the bathroom, he heard Wen Qun's voice.
"Okay, I understand. I will tell A Yao." Wen Qun said.
Jing Yao asked curiously: "Who is it?"
Wen Qun closed the door and said to Jing Yao, "It's my second uncle. He hopes we can find time to go back."
Since Wen Yu came back, the snowstorm has become more severe, and everyone decided not to go out for the time being. Now, the snow has stopped, but the weather is still gloomy.
The second uncle sent someone to inform them, hoping that they could go home and reunite.
