Chapter 423 Snowstorm
Ye Tang walked closer to the snowman and observed its appearance carefully: "Qingtong, let me ask you, when did this snowman get here?"
Qingtong was stunned, looking at the snowman, and said in confusion: "I don't remember, it seems to be noon, no... not noon, but Shenshi?"
Ye Tang reached out and touched the snowman's hat: "Is the hat shaking? Or is it the snowman shaking?"
Qingtong exclaimed and walked over to look at the snowman. She had been busy looking for the young master and had not observed the snowman carefully. She didn't know when the snowman appeared. Now that she looked closely, this snowman was really unique and better looking than the snowman in the yard.
Who made such a beautiful snowman?
Ye Tang stood up straight, looked at Xue Ren calmly and said to Qing Tong, "No need to look for Yun Ting. He likes to run outside, so let him stay outside. Come on, follow me in and close the door."
Seeing that Ye Tang was no longer looking for the young master, Qingtong was surprised for a moment, but soon guessed something. He looked at the snowman in disbelief, and his eyes twitched uncomfortably.
Could it be that this snowman is...
Qingtong followed Ye Tang into the gate and closed it.
The moment the door closed, the snowman started moving.
"Haha, mom didn't find me, and neither did Qingtong. Hehehe, I'm so smart."
"It's just a little cold. The snow is so icy!"
"Huh? Why can't I move my feet? Are they frozen? Wuuuuuuu... Mom, help me!"
There was a cry coming from the snowman.
He tried to walk toward the door, but couldn't move his feet.
"Why are you crying? You can't even get rid of this little snow. Do you have the nerve to be my son?" Ye Tang's smiling voice sounded behind the snowman.
A man walked over, reached out and grabbed the snowman's head. With a click, the snowman's head cracked, and the snow fell to the ground, revealing a furry head. It was the missing Xiao Yunting.
Xiao Yunting's face was frozen red, his body was stuck in the snowman, and he felt freezing cold all over.
Liu An crushed the snow in his hands and looked at Xiao Yunting with amusement: "How does it feel to be a snowman?"
Xiao Yunting shivered: "It's fun, but it's too cold!"
"I can't stand it, Mom, save me!" Xiao Yunting asked Ye Tang for help.
Liu An pretended to be angry and said, "Master is right beside you. Why don't you ask Master for help instead of asking Mother for help?"
"Master, help!" Xiao Yunting quickly asked someone else for help.
Liu An was amused by him. He reached out to break all the snow off his body and picked him up.
"You're as cold as a block of ice. What if you catch a cold? You're such a naughty kid."
Ye Tang took out a pill and stuffed it into Xiao Yunting's mouth: "Swallow it, this is to prevent colds."
Afterwards, the two men brought Xiao Yunting back to the house. When they came to the room where the iron stove was burning, Xiao Yunting felt that he was saved and his hands and feet became obedient again.
Ye Tang frowned and said, "How did you get yourself into the snowman? Did you have help? Who was it?"
Xiao Yunting pouted and said, "I will never betray my good friend."
"It's Xiao Qi."
"How did mother know?"
"There are its footprints in the snow."
"Didn't I clean up the traces?"
"It's a scam."
Seeing the cunning smile on Ye Tang's face, Xiao Yunting suddenly realized that he had been fooled. He patted his head in annoyance and glared at Ye Tang: "Mom always bullies me."
Ye Tang reached out and pinched his cheek and said, "Aren't sons meant to be bullied?"
She asked again: "Do you still want to play in the snow?"
Xiao Yunting had recovered and regained his spirits. Hearing this, he said excitedly, "Let's play, let's play, Mom, let's play snowball fights, you and me."
The master is old and doesn't play in the snow with him. Qingtong is a servant and always gives in to him when playing in the snow. No one from the village came to the clinic today, so it would be boring for him to play in the snow alone.
"Mom, don't let me have any more fun, okay?"
"Okay, Mom will never let you go."
Ye Tang flew directly onto the roof, rolled out a huge snowball and threw it towards Xiao Yunting.
boom!
Xiao Yunting was flattened.
Ye Tang chuckled and clapped his hands, saying, "Look, Mom kept her word and didn't give in to you."
......
Before dark, Ye Tang had someone pick up Su Yinghuai, Su Yanyun and their three children.
Less than three days after the heavy snow, the changeable weather dropped sharply again, the temperature approached minus ten degrees Celsius, and heavy snow fell.
This heavy snow lasted for three days and three nights.
It was not only Tianan Prefecture that was snowing, but other prefectures including the capital were also snowing. The four countries of Beiyi, Fuso, Xuanyue and Penglai were also snowing a lot, but not as severe as in the Yuan Dynasty.
After the second heavy snow stopped, the temperature did not rise at all. The ground was covered with snow, and the thick snow was more than one meter high.
Such snow accumulation used to only be found in extremely cold places, but now it is everywhere. It is really strange, which forced Emperor Yuanwu to believe the prediction of ice and snow disasters.
Although the imperial court had been prepared, many people still suffered greatly from the ice and snow disaster. Some houses were crushed by the snow, some froze to death in their homes, a large number of livestock died, and countless aquatic animals were also frozen to death.
Nowadays, the warmest place in the entire Yuan Dynasty is Haicheng.
There was only a little snow in Haicheng, and it all melted in less than one night.
This phenomenon seems good, but it is not really good. After all, Haicheng is a warm place and it never snows. However, it snowed this year for the first time, which is really disturbing.
After the heavy snow, the temperature was very low and the snow did not melt, making it difficult for people to travel. There was no one else on the streets except the court's snow disaster emergency rescue team.
The rescue team patrolled for three or four days and found more than ten bodies, including those of beggars, farmers, and servants of wealthy families. Although they were well prepared, they could not prevent the unexpected incident and there were still some casualties.
The bodies were frozen solid and took a long time to become normal after being left in the house. The rescue team found a place to cremate the bodies and sent the ashes to their families. If they had no family, they would find a place to bury them.
The appearance of the corpses made the people afraid. Although there had been cases of people freezing to death in Tianan Prefecture before, it was never this serious. The weather this year was too terrible.
The people all hid in their homes and dared not go out, and they dared not put out the fire in their homes. Once it was extinguished, there would be endless cold, a cold that would be fatal.
The county magistrate heard the report from the yamen runners and rubbed his hands in fear: "Fortunately, we in Tianan Prefecture are not short of cotton and food now, and almost everyone can eat and wear warm clothes. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have frozen to death!"
On the tenth day after the city was blocked by heavy snow, the warm sun finally appeared and the snow gradually melted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Tang looked at the calendar she had drawn and counted the time. Nangong Jingxuan had been away from home for a long time. She didn't know what the situation was like at the border and whether it was affected by the heavy snow. She didn't know whether the drawings she sent had been delivered to Nangong Jingxuan.
In subsequent chapters, the male and female protagonists and their families will restore their surnames and change them to Nangong Jingxuan, Shangguan Tang, Shangguan Ping'an, and Shangguan Peng.
