Chapter 334 (2/2)
Qingtian town is located in the northern frontier plateau. Most of the year is in the season of winter and snow. Moreover, there are few Xiuxian sect doors due to the vast unknown mountains within a radius of thousands of miles. It is a rare quiet place. It also allows ordinary people to avoid many troubles and live quietly in Qingtian town.
There are no flying airships or high-rise buildings with a strong sense of science and technology. This ancient town stands in China for thousands of years. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and are self-sufficient, maintaining an ancient lifestyle.
The cold wind is howling and the snow is torrential. The whole Qingtian town is covered with snow, which makes people look silver and give people a sense of being spotless.
Although the snow scenery is beautiful, Qingtian town is a bitter and cold place. For ordinary people, it is a great pleasure in life to burn a pot of burning knife in front of their own stove, get half a kilo of sauce beef, and have a sip of liquor with three or two friends.
There are few pedestrians on the streets. The snow on the ground is one foot high. It takes more effort to move forward in this heavy snow.
Squeak!
Heavy footsteps trampled on the snow and made a sound like squeezing the snow. At the end of the street, a middle-aged strong man, with a simple face and a thick leather jacket, walked hard in the heavy snow with a child of about seven or eight years old in his arms.
The child held a string of sugar figurines in his hand, and his cheeks were red with cold, but he didn't feel cold in his father's arms. He even laughed happily from time to time, proving the child's innocence and longing for good things.
”Dad, look.”
Suddenly, the child's smile was gone, his mouth uttered a cry of surprise, and suddenly pointed to the eaves in front of him. This also surprised the middle-aged man. He looked quickly at the place the child pointed to. The scene in his eyes also made the middle-aged man sigh.
A young man in black sat under the broken eaves. His clothes were very thin. The whole person seemed to be completely frozen. His thin body was shaking unconsciously. His lips completely lost their blood color and were stained with some ice residue. It was obvious that he would freeze to death in this snowy and cold day soon.
”Hey, look, this man doesn't look like the people in town. Where did he come from?” The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.
”Dad, let's save the big brother.”
The child kept shaking his father's arm, and there was a trace of water mist in his eyes, which also proved that the child was innocent and could not see the young man in black frozen to death in the street by the heavy snow.
The middle-aged man frowned, his voice hesitated and said, ”Han Er, we don't have much surplus food at home. I don't know how long the snow will fall. This person's identity is unknown. If you take this person home, I'm afraid...!”
The middle-aged man was reluctant to speak here. Obviously, he was just an ordinary father. It was not easy for him to support a family of three. If he took the young man in black home, he would feel a great burden without saying that the young man in black needed medical treatment.
”Dad, didn't you tell han'er that saving a person's life is better than building a level 7 floating slaughter? Since we saw it, how can we let the big brother freeze to death in this ice and snow?” The child's voice was tender and prayed to his father.
Hearing children's fairy tales, the middle-aged man tightened his eyebrows. After a few breath, he stretched his eyebrows and said with a grin: ”Han Er is right. Since I saw you, my father and son can't save their lives.”
During the father son dialogue, he had come to the young man in black, and the child fell from his father's arms and came to the young man in two or three steps.
”Big brother, don't sleep, dad said. If people fall asleep in extreme cold, they will never wake up.” The child kept shaking the young man's arm, and his tender voice was a little anxious.
Unfortunately, the body of the young man in black has been frozen stiff, and the whole person has fallen into a coma. He has no reaction to the children's words.
If the young man's body did not tremble from time to time, I was afraid that both father and son would think that the young man in front of him had already frozen to death in the cold snow.
