Rebirth of Fortune Talisman

Chapter 1223
Shen Dalong pondered for a while, but still felt that he should speak to the village chief.

He went out wearing a thick down jacket again.

Shen Linxian sent him out, and looked back at the thermometer, which showed that it was almost thirty degrees below zero.

Even if Shen Linxian had an extraordinary heart, he couldn't help but feel shivering because of the low temperature.

The temperature dropped too fast. In just a day or two, it dropped from [-] to [-] degrees to minus [-] degrees. If it dropped again, it would be so cold that no one would want to go out.

While thinking, Shen Linxian entered the room.

Bai Jing told Shen Wei to make dumplings again.

The dumpling stuffing is very fragrant. There are mutton, radish, finely chopped green onion and ginger in it, and a lot of seasonings. You can smell the tangy aroma from a long distance.

Bai Jing rolled the slices, Shen Wei made the dumplings, but within a short while, dozens of dumplings that looked like fat ingots had already been made.

Shen Linxian washed her hands and went to help.

The dumplings were made, but before Shen Dalong came back, Bai Jing warmed the water on the stove, while guarding the stove, she waited for Shen Dalong to come back to cook the dumplings.

Shen Linxian and Shen Wei were fine, they sat and chatted with melon seeds.

Shen Dalong didn't come back until it was almost dark.

He was so cold that he shivered as soon as he entered the door.

Shen Linxian hurriedly brought him hot tea, and let him drink two big pots of hot tea, and then he recovered.

Bai Jing was busy cooking dumplings, so Shen Linxian asked Village Chief Shen Dalong what he said.

Shen Dalong sighed: "The village chief is kind, he also believed what I said, but the big guys didn't believe it, they said that in such a cold day, who would come to our village to grab things, but they didn't want to think about it, No matter how cold the weather is, people can’t survive, and who cares whether it’s hot or cold when they’re about to starve to death.”

"Then what should we do?" Bai Jing was anxious to hear this.

Shen Dalong sat down: "The village chief talked all kinds of things, and finally persuaded the big guy. Just in case, starting tomorrow, each household will send a laborer to build the wall. Now the weather is too cold to build the wall with bricks and stones. Only ice and snow barriers."

Han Yang stood up and said, "I'll go tomorrow. I'm young and strong."

Shen Linxian handed the dumplings to Bai Jing: "I'll go the day after tomorrow, we'll work in shifts."

Shen Wei smiled: "Then I'll go the day after tomorrow."

Shen Dalong and Bai Jing didn't say anything.

Although they feel sorry for the two girls, Shen Linxian and Shen Wei, who still want to do this kind of hard work, but the world is like this, keeping the two girls at home will only harm them. Let them get used to it.

Bai Jing finished cooking the dumplings, and Shen Linxian took the bowls and plates over. Bai Jing fished them while she served them on the table.

Shen Wei fished out some vinegar-marinated cabbage and garlic, put them on a plate and served them on the table, Bai Jing mixed the boiled peanuts and brought them over, brought over two wine cups, and poured them for Han Yang and Shen Dalong alone. A glass of wine: "You two have a drink to keep you warm."

Han Yang thanked him, and clinked glasses with Shen Dalong while holding a wine cup.

Shen Dalong drank the wine, ate two more dumplings, and praised while eating: "Dumplings are like wine, the more you drink, the more delicious they are. These dumplings are really delicious."

Shen Linxian also said: "The dumplings made by Mom are delicious."

Bai Jing was very cheerful after being praised, and kept making dumplings for several people.

After eating the dumplings, Shen Linxian felt warm all over her body. She went back to the room and took a book, and came over to read by the stove. After reading for about two hours, she and Han Yang went back to the room to sleep.

Han Yang got up early the next day.

Shen Linxian didn't disturb others, and got up early to make breakfast for him, and sent him out when Han Yang was full.

It was astonishingly cold to get up early. Han Yang met several people along the way. They were all wearing thick down jackets, hats with ear protection, masks and scarves, and they were all tightly wrapped.

These people walked quietly on the snow, and gathered at the entrance of the village, and then the village chief assigned tasks, which group of people should do what.

Han Yang, Wang Yong, and Wang Ping's son Wang Zhi were divided into a group. They were responsible for building a section of the wall at the entrance of the village. The total length of the wall was about ten meters, and the wall had to be thick and high.

Everyone comes with tools, and Han Yang is no exception.

He took a shovel to shovel the snow, and put it in the place where the village chief asked someone to measure it, and then carefully photographed it. He worked hard like this. By noon, the three of them had built a pile several meters long. .

Everyone went home to eat at noon, and after dinner, they rushed to build a section before dark, and finally completed the task before dark.

Then Shen Linxian and Shen Wei went out to work separately.

Although the two of them are women, both of them refused to admit defeat, and they were no worse than men in their work, which made the villagers who wanted to say something shut up.

After working so hard for half a month, the whole village was finally surrounded by snow walls.

Of course, what is enclosed is the settlement of the villagers, not the land in the village.

In fact, it is useless to surround the field at this moment, the field is covered with snow, there is nothing at all, even if others come over, they can't find anything useful.

After the fence in the village was completed, the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees.

Shangzhuang Village is not a village of bitter cold. According to the older generation, it seems that the lowest temperature in a century is only about ten degrees below zero. The temperature suddenly dropped to more than minus 40 degrees, which is really unbearable.

Unless it is necessary, most people stay in the house and do not go out.

If there was no firewood at home, I ran out to cut some trees to burn. Of course, some people burned coal if they had coal.

A few days later, on this day, Shen Linxian and Bai Jing were discussing making beef hot pot when they heard the horn in the village.

The family quickly put on their padded jackets and ran outside.

After running out, I saw the whole village running towards the entrance of the village as if they were dying.

Shen Linxian also ran after him, and only after running for a while did he realize what was going on.

It turned out that the gangsters who were let go last time came back again. This time, they brought a lot of people, there were hundreds of people, and these people gathered at the village entrance of Shangzhuang, clamoring for the villagers to send food Woolen cloth.

"Damn it." Shen Dalong cursed, and pulled out a gun from his waist: "I want to see which bastard is dying."

The family ran to the entrance of the village. Shen Linxian stepped on the snow-covered steps and took a look at the top of the wall. He saw a group of people outside. These people were cursing, and some were knocking on the snow walls with sticks.

"Can't let them destroy the wall..."

Only then did the people in the village know how to be afraid.

Some people began to complain about those people who were soft-hearted at the beginning, complaining that they should not propose to release those gangsters and bring such a disaster to the village.

Others looked at Shen Dalong gratefully.

If it wasn't for Shen Dalong's proposal to build a snow wall, the people in the village would have suffered a lot.

When the wall was first built, everyone complained that Shen Dalong was meddlesome and made everyone suffer and freeze, but now they feel very lucky.
