Scorpio Island is surrounded by huge waves and a blizzard is coming with strong winds.
This is a cruel winter.
The blizzard spread from the sea and spread to the entire Scorpio Island. The roaring wind rolled up the goose feather-like snow and wreaked havoc on the entire world.
The vegetation was all white, countless ancient trees were broken by the heavy snow, and many ferocious beasts were buried by the heavy snow, turning into hard corpses.
The ferocious beasts panicked and looked for caves to take shelter from the snow. Some also broke into villages and towns and ate humans and animals to survive.
The villagers huddled in their houses, and the fire in the stove seemed to be of no use.
As the night passed, people in every household froze to death in their beds.
Wails and cries of pain could be seen everywhere.
When I went out to ask for help, the wind and snow fell head-on. Halfway through, the snow was already up to my waist. Soon, the road was covered with human-shaped ice sculptures. After a while, the sky and the earth were vast, the wind and snow howled, and nothing could be seen.
In Scorpio City, all the families stayed behind closed doors. The black knights in the city lord's palace urged the army to clear the snow on the streets. The snow fell again and again, and it was impossible to clear it out.
The snow is too heavy.
The city lord's palace had no choice but to withdraw its troops. Everyone went inside to avoid the snow, and no one wanted to go out.
The entire Scorpio City was quiet and white, with few pedestrians on the streets.
From time to time, a rumble could be heard, and someone's house collapsed under the weight of the snow. There were a few panicked shouts, but there was no sound in an instant.
Chaotic dark streets.
This normally bustling street was deserted today.
Taverns and teahouses are crowded with people at the door.
Several Liu family sickle soldiers were sitting inside, looking at the wind and snow outside the window with worried expressions on their faces.
"This year's snowstorm has been too heavy. If it continues like this, I don't know how many people will freeze to death!"
"Except for the big estates and martial arts gangs outside the city, the low-lying villages have been buried under heavy snow, and everyone is dead!"
"Ouyang Jian, a master of martial arts, is well-known in the world and is known as "Floating on the Snow". He relies on his outstanding lightness skills and ends up stepping into a snow cave and never comes out again..."
"This is a natural disaster... I heard from the captain that the clan leader may cancel the recent patrol mission and ask everyone to stay in the house to keep out the cold. They will also distribute a kind of dried meat to keep out the cold... "
Several people were talking in low voices, and when they said this, a look of anticipation appeared on everyone's face.
Since joining the Liu family, they have made a lot of money, and the Liu family's benefits are also very good, allowing them to practice martial arts and take care of food and expenses. I heard that recently the second elder is helping the outstanding ones among them find wives.
It is a cold winter, but the sickle soldiers feel warm in their hearts.
Liu family.
On the nine-story stone tower.
Liu Tao, Liu Dahai, and all the elders have arrived and are holding a family meeting.
"The weather in the sea area is changing. We don't know when the snowstorm will end. Some people at home have frozen to death in bed at night. We need to pay attention to this matter!"
"Many pigs, cattle and sheep in the livestock pen have also died. If this continues, they will all die!"
Liu Tao said, scanning everyone, asking everyone to come up with a method.
Several people discussed in low voices,
After a while, Liu Dahai suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and said loudly: "I thought of a way."
Everyone looked at Liu Dahai curiously.
Liu Dahai recalled: "I remember that one thing was recorded in "The Biography of the Ancestors". It was said that one winter a thousand years ago, it was very cold and many people froze to death, so the ancestors invented a way to repel the cold. A warm bed!”
"Warm bed?!"
A few people were confused and frowned in thought.
Liu Tao was also reminiscing, but he didn't remember such small things clearly.
Liu Dahai saw this and said with a smile: "Our ancestors called this warm bed "Kang"!"
"Kang?! Ah! I remembered!"
Liu Liuhai shouted in surprise, "That is indeed the heating bed invented by our ancestors. It is made of mud and heated with firewood. It can keep people warm from the cold. There is no need to worry about the fire going out at night and freezing people." …”
Liu Dahai's words were echoed by Liu Liuhai. He was very happy and said excitedly: "Liu Hai is right, but in addition, our ancestors also invented something called "floor heating", which is under the room. , lay the heat transfer pipes... "
Liu Dahai and Liu Liuhai, with a word from you and a word from me, "Kang" and "floor heating" will soon be explained clearly.
Everyone understood it, and after sighing that they watched "The Legend of the Ancestor" carefully on weekdays, everyone became excited.
These two things to keep away the cold have been used by the Liu family for thousands of years. Unfortunately, after several relocations and disasters, and the winter went quickly, the winter was as warm as spring for many years.
Scorpio Island has faint signs of being evergreen all year round.
The kang and floor heating were gradually forgotten.
It wasn't until today, when the freezing cold weather threatened the lives of the people, that this incident was remembered.
"They say that there is a beauty like jade in the book, and there is a house of gold in the book. I have never believed it, but today I have to believe it!" Liu Tao sighed, and then looked at everyone with a serious look.
"The book "The Biography of the Ancestors" is the most valuable book in our Liu family. I hope everyone will read it more and preferably memorize it backwards and forwards!
"This book records the deeds of our ancestors throughout their lives, including the techniques they practiced, the secret realms they visited, the friends they made, the enemies they killed, the sects they destroyed, as well as the weapons, inventions and sects they used. Some of the romances of our ancestors...
Everyone must study hard. We cannot be as good as our ancestors, but we must always motivate ourselves, use our ancestors as our direction guide, and constantly spur our learning! …”
Liu Tao spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, admonishing several elders and reminding himself.
Everyone nodded and wrote down the matter in their notebooks with serious expressions. They felt that the words of the patriarch were soul-searching and thought-provoking!
If Liu Dahai hadn't proposed "Kang" and "floor heating" today, they wouldn't have known that their ancestors had already invented such things to keep out the cold. It would probably not have been able to help the tribesmen keep out the cold, and the consequence would have been that some tribesmen would be exposed to the cold at night. freeze to death.
"Everyone must read "The Biography of the Ancestors" thoroughly, understand it, and become familiar with it. Maybe one day, a quotation or personal experience from the ancestors will save your life!"
Liu Tao said, then looked at Liu Dahai, showing a rare smile, and said: "We can solve the problem of keeping the people warm from the cold, and Dahai is indispensable!"
"Come on, let's all chirp to the sea!"
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
There was applause in the ancestral hall.
The flames in the stove danced, reflecting Liu Dahai's flushed face.
I don’t know if it’s excitement, excitement, or being roasted by the stove.
In the coffin.
Liu Fan was very pleased that Liu Dahai, his descendant, impressed him with admiration today.
On weekdays, Liu Dahai does things sparingly, even a little "slick!"
He didn't respect his ancestor, and even secretly made himself into a battle puppet with Liu Sanhai.
When he killed the water monster, he was worried about being exposed, so he took the initiative to shout that his ancestors were alive in the sky, for fear that Liu Tao would suspect that he had tampered with his body...
In short, Liu Dahai is not a good descendant who is very good at "licking" himself, but he has his shining points!
PS: The temperature in Xi'an dropped yesterday. I caught a cold when I went out in the morning. I have a headache and feel dizzy. The update may be a little slow. Please forgive me, readers and fathers. I am in good health. I will try my best to make up for everyone. Everyone should also pay attention to their health. Recently, I have become more and more frail...
