Chapter 157 Heavy Snow Blocks the Mountain, Off-Duty Cultivation
The news that frightened everyone even more was that they would have to stay put for the next two days, during which only one serving of rough bread would be provided each day, and the portion size would be halved.
Upon hearing the news, the prisoners, already short of food, were in a state of panic and began to complain even more.
But, faced with such a snowy day, who has the ability to get out of this mountain?
No one dared to leave the group and walk alone, and Lord Zhu would not allow it.
For him, every prisoner less means he earns less money, but every extra life means he can earn more performance bonuses when he arrives in the northern desert.
Therefore, disregarding everyone's complaints, Lord Zhu sternly declared: "No one is allowed to leave the group at will to go out to find food or go hunting. You must get my permission first! Everyone remember this!"
Lord Zhu paused for a moment, then added a thoughtful reminder, "Remember to sweep the snow off the roof before going to bed!"
Wen Qikang and Yao Changhao, as the Wen family's external liaisons, returned to convey the above message.
After Wen Qikang finished speaking, Yao Changhao nudged Wen Qilin on the shoulder and said, "Big brother, let's go out and shovel the snow off the roof!"
"Okay, let's go together."
Wen Qilin grabbed a makeshift broom made of tree branches, turned around, and left the treehouse.
Wen Chengjian and several other teenagers followed him out.
As soon as they stepped outside, a howling wind carrying snowflakes rushed towards them, instantly filling their necks with cold air. They pulled their clothes tighter, shrank their necks, and looked up at the roof.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.
Good heavens, is there some kind of magic on their roof?
Not only was there no snow accumulation, but even the large snowflakes that had just landed on the roof were blown away by the strong wind before they could even stay for a moment.
This trend seems to have many advantages.
The group glanced at the broom in Wen Qilin's hand, then at Wen Chengxi standing at the door.
The latter, in particular, had his eyes narrowed into slits and was grinning foolishly.
The group chuckled to themselves.
Wen Chengbin couldn't help but say first, "Uncle, this broom of yours is a bit unnecessary, hahaha... ah... pfft!"
Yao Changhao chimed in, "Oh dear, this snowstorm is really fierce. Look at you, you've got your mouth full of snow. Be careful you don't get diarrhea."
Wen Qilin twirled the broom in his hand and couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, it's a bit redundant. Come inside, come inside quickly, it's so cold outside."
The group turned and went inside.
The people inside were waiting for the sound of snow being swept, but instead of that, they saw the group quickly come in, and they all looked at them in surprise.
Wen Yuanqian asked, "Eldest brother, are you done sweeping? So fast?"
Wen Qilin waved the broom in his hand and said with a smile, "Father, this thing is unnecessary."
Yao Changhao added, "It was indeed unnecessary. Luckily, I didn't take it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group burst into laughter.
The three brothers, Wen Chengjian, Wen Chengbin, and Wen Chengfeng, laughed heartily and each said a sentence.
“Grandfather, let me tell you, our roof is so smooth and shiny.”
"There's no snow at all!"
Why isn't there snow?
"Because the snowflakes don't even reach the roof!"
"Hey, why can't it land on the roof?"
"Because it's windy!"
Why is the wind so strong?
After the three brothers finished speaking, they all looked at Wen Chengxi.
Wen Chengxi lived up to everyone's expectations and happily said, "Because this is the right opportunity, the right opportunity!"
His left hand hung naturally at his side, his right hand was gently raised with his fingers slightly spread, and his eyes were looking at a 45-degree angle to the top, his eyes full of hope and expectation!
Surprisingly, at the end of the song, Moon Sung-hee gave a final gesture!
"Wow... Hahaha... Hahaha..."
“Hehehe…hehe…hehe…”
The comical ending pose caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter.
Wenwen and her group of sisters laughed so hard they almost fell over, their eyes and brows narrowed into slits.
She never expected that her brothers would put on a comedy show for everyone so early in the morning!
Each person says one sentence, with questions and answers; it's truly humorous and joyful.
She couldn't help but think of a modern saying: "If you stand in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly."
To be honest, she didn't dare say whether a pig standing in the right place at the right time could actually fly, nor did she know.
However, it is obvious that houses built in windy areas do not accumulate snow on their roofs.
To witness this miraculous moment, Wenwen ignored everyone's attempts to stop her and ran out the door in an instant.
The wind and snow outside were indeed very strong; her small frame could easily be blown over if she wasn't careful.
After looking at the rooftops without any snow, Wenwen looked around at the surrounding snow-capped mountains and couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
It would be a real shame not to go out and enjoy such a beautiful snowy landscape.
Besides, they're going to stay here for two days, and Lord Zhu has allowed them to go out and find food, so why not take this opportunity to go out?
When Wenwen went inside and mentioned it to her family, she was surprised to find that Wen Yuanqian had the same idea.
So the family huddled inside and discussed it carefully.
The more difficult the environment, the more it can temper one's will.
No matter how fierce the wind and snow are outside, the Wen family must not be afraid and must overcome all difficulties, big and small.
Once the Wen family's training plan is set, everyone must carry it out diligently.
Ye Jingchuan, Wen Qikang, and Yao Changhao went over and made their request to Lord Zhu.
Not only was permission granted, but a cryptic order was also received.
As they were leaving, Yang, the constable, whispered, "If you find any edible food on the mountain, bring some back."
When Wen Qikang relayed the adults' instructions, everyone in the Wen family was somewhat puzzled.
"Bring some back?"
"What should we bring? Pheasants? Rabbits?"
"The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the world is covered in ice and snow. Where can we find it?"
Isn't this making things difficult for people?
This problem is not a problem at all for Wenwen.
As long as she can get out of the house, she can find a way to solve the rest.
She patted her chest. "Grandfather, it's no problem. Let's walk around and maybe we'll run into them! I just saw a mountain over there, it even looks a bit green. Maybe it doesn't snow there!"
After considering it carefully, Wen Yuanqian nodded in agreement, "Okay, be careful!"
And so, every day, a group of Wen family members would go out early in the morning, return in the afternoon to be replaced by another group, and then be replaced again at night.
The Wen family members worked in shifts, busily going out to find food.
Actually, they were taking the opportunity to go out into the mountains to cultivate themselves.
On the first night, they brought back several wild rabbits for Yang, the yamen runner.
The next night, a wild boar was brought back, and Lord Zhu was generous, so everyone got to drink the broth.
Therefore, the two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Two days later, in the early hours of the morning, Wenwen was cultivating in her spatial dimension when she suddenly heard a loud roar.
She quickly slipped out of the space, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw several shadows rush out of the house beside her.
Wenwen also rushed outside and looked into the distance, following the sound.
Under the faint moonlight, the snow on the distant mountaintop was collapsing downwards, sliding from the top to the bottom in an instant, creating snow waves tens of meters high. With a huge roar, the snow waves tilted directly towards them.
Oh my god, an avalanche!
