The cold wave will cause a series of negative effects, and the transit along the way will cause a wide range of severe cooling in various places, and even some extreme weather.
Such as heavy snow, wind, frost, etc.
These disasters will have a serious impact on people's lives.
After the heavy snowfall of the previous two days, light snow began to fall again this morning.
The ground that hasn't melted is thickened again... The excess color seems to have been wiped away, leaving only a white patch.
The streets in the city are even more lonely and lonely.
Not to mention the mountains and forests outside the city, which seem to have become a forbidden area isolated from the world, deserted and uninhabited.
…
Parr Mountain.
Xia Zoe braved the snow to check the situation in the planting area.
He has already taken warm measures in advance here - building a greenhouse, laying a thin cloth, and taking measures to control the temperature...
Each plant needs to be checked daily to ensure it will grow well in this environment.
Not only that.
The various measures to protect plants during the winter are also spread through propaganda from the Thorns Chamber of Commerce and churches in the territory.
After all, agriculture is the most vulnerable to cold wave disasters.
The existence of food is extremely important to the people.
Today, there was a little problem in the growing area.
The servant who managed the planting area did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so he reported the problem to Judit, the chief steward of the castle.
Judit reported to Xia Zoe again.
So, Xia Zuoyi planned to come over in person for some reason.
Now the problem has been solved.
Judit opened the thick curtain hanging in the shed, opened the umbrella to block the snowflakes, and waited for Xia Zoe to come out: "Lord."
Xia Zuoyi wore an ear-protecting hat and a thick plush cloak, and even put a pair of hands into the cotton sleeves that could warm them.
Even so, he still couldn't resist the cold trying to get into his body.
There is a long distance from the planting area to the castle, and there will be a special carriage to deliver it before it snows, so there is no need to walk at all.
But when it snows, the wheels of the carriage will sink deep into the snow and cannot move forward.
Therefore, the disasters brought by the cold wave will not only seriously affect agriculture, but also affect transportation, sea or river navigation, etc…
Xia Zoe wears boots made of cotton.
Although the soles have been thickened with cowhide, after walking in the snow for a period of time with one foot deep and one foot shallow, even the very warm boots will become cold at this time, without the slightest temperature.
He felt like his toes were almost unconscious.
Xia Zuoyi sucked the nose that had also become cold, buried his mouth to the chin in the fur collar of the cloak, and said in a muffled voice: "Judit, next time I come out, I must bring eggs with me. Boy and a board, um... plus a rope..."
Judit had a puzzled look upon hearing this.
- He can understand the egg boy, but what are the boards and ropes for
Although puzzled, the serious butler nodded: "Yes, lord, I will prepare in advance when I come out next time."
Xia Zuoyi: ... You don't have to be so strict, in fact, he was just joking.
Eggman is so naughty, it is estimated that after pulling the sled, he will be pulled into the snowdrift, and then excitedly plunge into it with him...
Thinking about it, it's really possible, Xia Zuoyi sighed tiredly.
…
The sound of snowflakes falling on the umbrella, accompanied by the crunching sound of feet stepping on the snow, made Xia Zuoyi slightly distracted.
The road from the plantation area to the castle was neither long nor short, and he finished it soon after all the thoughts in his mind drifted away.
"Lord, the person standing there seems to be... Your Majesty the Pope."
Judit's slightly hesitant voice can't help but make Xia Zoe come back to her senses and stop.
He looked in the direction Judit had indicated.
—The frozen and snow-covered Lake Paar has a different kind of amazing beauty, quiet, empty, like a quiet painting.
At this moment, a tall figure was standing beside the picture scroll.
He didn't have an umbrella, just a black plush cloak, and the snowflakes fell, laying a light layer on his shoulders.
I don't know how long I've been standing here.
Judit looked carefully again and confirmed that the person standing by Lake Parr was the Pope.
He said, "Lord, do we want to go over..."
His Majesty the Pope doesn't seem to be wearing much, so he doesn't know what he's doing by standing by the lake... Is he looking at the scenery
It was at this moment that he seemed to be aware of the movement behind him.
The Pope turned around, the gilt-gold eyes met Xia Zoe's caramel sweet eyes, the former smiled.
Xia Zuoyi said: "Judit, go under the servant's umbrella at the back and give me this umbrella. You should go back to the castle first."
"Yes, lord."
Judit took out a pair of gloves from his arms and handed them over.
Xia Zuoyi took it, but didn't put it on.
His white hands stretched out of the warm cotton cover, first tucked the gloves into the pockets of the cloak, then took the umbrella and walked towards Lake Pal.
Judit looked at it and was a little worried that the lord was holding an umbrella alone.
But in the end, he followed the order and left with the servants behind him, and they all walked into the castle in a short time.
At this moment, Xia Zuoyi has come to Segalot's side, frowning.
- The Pope is not wearing a hat, and sure enough, he is not wearing gloves.
His fair face and hands were carved from white jade against the background of ice and snow, clear but also cold.
Xia Zuoyi admitted that he was a little distressed, he raised the cotton sleeve with one hand and said, "reach in."
Segalot put a hand in.
The cotton sleeve is open, two people and two hands meet inside, and the cold fingertips that go in then quietly touch the warm fingers.
But Xia Zuoyi immediately stretched out the hand in the cotton sleeve.
He held an umbrella in one hand, and with his outstretched hand, he took out the gloves Judit had just given him from his cloak and handed them over.
"Well, put it on."
Segalot didn't speak, and was obedient.
After putting on gloves on both hands, he took the umbrella held by Xia Zuoyi and said softly, "I still scare you, you have been avoiding me for the past two days."
Xia Zoey wanted to say that she was not frightened...
No, still scared.
But this "scared" is not what the Pope understood it to mean.
He was not frightened by the love that violated the secular and common sense "same-sex love equals guilt", but was frightened by the person who showed his heart to him.
This person is still the one who convicted all "same-sex crimes".
Xia Zoe always has a feeling of uncertainty.
Before he could sort out his thoughts, of course he had to avoid the Pope, but it had only been a few days
Just two days.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say you're not in a hurry, can you wait..."
Segalot smiled gently: "I'm waiting for your answer, but I don't want you to hide from me and stay where I can see, I won't force you."
If you don't stay where you can see, will you force me
Xia Zuoyi freed his hands, put them in the cotton sleeve again, buried his chin in the fluffy collar, and didn't want to speak.
He was like a cat huddled in a nest and watched, even though the outside was full of dried small fish and canned cat food, he just sniffed and then stopped moving.
Although the temptation outside was sufficient, he could not be completely sure that there was no danger.
Segalot wanted to hook him out of the nest.
His gloved right hand fell behind Xia Zuoyi, patted the snowflakes blown by the wind, and said, "I'll wait for your answer, but I only accept the answer I want to hear."
Isn't this forcing him to answer affirmatively
Xia Zoe: "You are guilty."
Segalot's voice seemed to be entangled in the falling snow, and drifted into Xia Zoe's ears with the wind: "Yes, I am guilty."
"Because I fell in love with a little rose surrounded by thorns."
This rose is delicate and beautiful, with thorns on its legs, rooted in hard soil, not afraid of wind and rain...
The tip of Xia Zoe's ear hidden in the hat turned red.
He didn't expect the Pope to say it so bluntly: "Your Majesty, as the Pope, shouldn't you be yourself..."
Before the words were finished, Xia Zuoyi's eyes suddenly darkened.
—It was the Pope who pulled down the brim of his hat.
"What are you doing..."
The unfinished words were blocked in an instant.
Segalot leaned over, and the feather-like kiss fell on Xia Zoe's soft but cold lips...
His golden eyes were extremely deep, but they seemed to be burning brightly.
That spark is buried deep, and it ignites at one point.
"Do you hate it?"
Segalot's voice seemed to be scattered around.
Xia Zuoyi heard it clearly, but felt that these three words fell like snowflakes in his ears and mind - melted in an instant, and suddenly no trace was left.
He could not answer.
Hate it
Certainly not annoying.
But what is he going to say
—The black umbrella that was blocking the wind and snow was tilted, covering the figures of the two of them.
Under the umbrella, Segalot wrapped his arms tightly around Xia Zoe's waist.
The person in front of him seemed to be startled by his rash action, perhaps because he was afraid, his lips were pursed, and there was no word.
Xia Zuoyi's hands were imprisoned in the cotton sleeves, and at this moment they couldn't get them out because they were so close to each other.
His eyes were covered by the falling brim, and he couldn't see the emotion on his face.
Segalot felt that a string in his heart was being vigorously plucked.
He didn't know what his expression looked like now, but he was glad that the person in front of him couldn't see it.
Otherwise, I'm really scared away, what should I do...
Probably after being scared away, he will do anything to chase it back, pick this little rose, and imprison it in his heart forever.
Dangerous thoughts just flashed by.
Segalot then slowed down his voice: "If you don't hate it, can you continue?"
He leaned over and kissed again, leaving with a touch.
Xia Zuoyi's pursed lips moved, as if he had something to say, Sigarot's eyes darkened when he saw it, and he covered it again...
"Well."
Segalot groaned, but a smile flashed across his golden eyes.
He left, with a laceration on his lips, leaving a conspicuous mark.
Xia Zuoyi grinded his fangs, opened his mouth and said, "Do you hate it?"
"Would you like to take another bite?" Segalot replied.
Xia Zoe: "..."
Come here if you have the ability!
The author has something to say: two more.
Xia Xia: I suspect that he is using the bitter meat trick and deliberately drenched in snow by the lake.
Pope: No doubt.
good night~
