Chapter 2569 (1/2)
An ox cart was driving slowly along the road. The driver was an old man in ragged fur.
When the road was snowed, I saw less than three meters.
Even the experienced old people who travel this road all the year round can't help themselves.
We can only hope that Lao Niu knows his way and can take him and the young people in the carriage behind him out of the storm.
It's about the first time for the boy in the car to go out. He doesn't have much temper and doesn't make any noise all the way, which saves him a lot of effort to explain.
”Old man, it's so snowy here. How dare you drive me out? We're not afraid of the wind and snow blocking the road. Are we buried here together?”
It was the young man in the carriage behind him who spoke.
The old man sighed in his heart. It was really the first time to go out. He didn't even know the simple things here.
The old man pulled the neckline and said with a bitter smile: ”I'm used to it.”
”Visitor, it's your first time to come to us. In this northern ice field, it's normal for wind and snow to get in the way. You can't see the sun several times a year.”
”Even if it doesn't snow one day, it will make up for the dark clouds. The last time I saw the sunshine, old man, was seven months ago.”
”If there is no accident, there should be no chance to see the sun this year. It's a pity that we saw the sun for two days. Last year, we saw the sun for five days.”
When he finished, the people in the car stopped talking.
A moment later, the man in the car spoke again.
”If there is no sun, there will be no crops. How do you eat?”
After listening to the young man's words, the old man felt that the young man was really brave. He didn't know anything and even dared to come to the northern ice field. Fortunately, he met an old man. If he met those murderous horse thieves, he would be very ugly.
Thinking of this, he decided to popularize science for this boy, and he really died outside that day.
”Guest, you should be from the East. There are the most crops and plenty of sunshine. It's a pity that we can't grow any crops here. Except for wind and snow, wind and snow can freeze to death.”
”But there is always a way out for people to live. There are no crops and other things. There will be many plants in some caves, many of which can be eaten, and mushrooms. We will plant some in the caves, but the harvest is certainly not as much as that in the East. There are also hunting. There are not many things in the ice fields in the north. There are lots of prey all over the mountains, and one nest after another has no end. ”
”to be honest with the guests, my biggest wish is to go to the East. It's said that food can be wasted there. The old man has lived all his life, but he just doesn't feel enough to eat. He never dares to waste food. He also wants to taste what it's like to waste food when he has nothing to do.”
The old man's words reveal the vision, even across the carriage, young people can feel.
After pondering for a moment, the man in the car said, ”not everyone in the East will waste food.”
The old man was optimistic and said, ”it doesn't matter. At least we can't have enough food. Except for the big people, no one can have enough food, but even they dare not waste food and can't eat enough.”
The people in the car are not talking.
But when the old man opened his talk box, he couldn't stop it and said, ”it's the first time for the guests to take the carriage in Beijing.”
”Well.” A sound came from the carriage.
”How do you know?” the young man asked
The old man said with pride, ”the guests are worried that the heavy snow will block the road.”
”That's it?”
The old man said, ”guest, this is the North Territory, not the East Territory. This kind of wind and snow is hanging almost every day. If the road is blocked, don't we have to hold it at home every day?”
”All the creatures here have the ability to walk on the ground in the snow. With the old man's icehorn, we can ensure that the guests can be delivered safely.”
