Chapter 429 Snow Wind Inn, The Strangeness of Wu Family Village

Shangguan Xueyan and her family spent a pleasant day outside, and it was already evening when they returned.When they went back, the inn was still empty, but now the lobby was very lively.

Shangguan Xueyan and the others went in to shake off the snowflakes on their bodies. The snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, and they had already accumulated a lot of snow on the way back.Fortunately, they are all wearing a lot of clothes, and they are all martial arts practitioners, so they won't catch the cold.

"Big sister, where are you going today, I can't even find you?" Shangguan Xueyan and the others heard a voice from above their heads as soon as they entered the inn.

Shangguan Xueyan didn't need to look to know who it was, except for Yun Moxue, no one among them would be so casual, and shouted directly in this place that didn't belong to her.Shangguan Xueyan felt that everyone in the inn was watching them, so she walked upstairs quickly.

"Wuyou, where did you go today? I just went out to have a look and you all disappeared. I have been looking for you for a long time." Yun Moxue looked at the family who came up, stopped Xuanyuan Yunmo and asked .

"We didn't go anywhere when we saw the sky, we just stayed at Shiliting, why didn't you go to find us?" Xuanyuan Yunmo looked at Yun Moxue with a stupid look on your face.He was telling the truth, he went to Shiliting early in the morning and stayed there until now.

"Ah, Shiliting. The mysterious person who won't keep people from getting close to Shiliting is you, right?" Yun Moxue asked with wide-eyed eyes.He heard that the Ten Mile Pavilion here is very famous, and he wanted to go and see it, but later he heard that the Ten Mile Pavilion was blocked by some big person, and no one could approach it.He was originally curious and wanted to take a look secretly, but Sixth Brother disagreed.

"Well, it's us, what's the matter?" Xuanyuan Yunmo asked strangely. In fact, he didn't know that his father asked the local officials to block Shiliting.My mother heard that my father used power for personal gain and failed to set an example, acting like a good official.

"It's really you, my Shiliting." When Yun Moxue heard that it was them, he regretted it, why didn't he go.It's all the sixth brother's fault, Yun Moxue glanced at Yun Feixue.

Shangguan Xueyan returned to the guest room and first drank a cup of hot water from Wen'e.

"How is Lord Luo today?" Shangguan Xueyan remembered that they had been outside for a long time and forgot that there was an elder here.

"Lord Luo is very good. We ate lunch in the hall below, and he is in good spirits." Wen'e said to Shangguan Xueyan with her head down.

"That's good, it's cold, you ask the waiter to add an extra charcoal basin to Prince Luo's room." Shangguan Xueyan took another sip of hot water and told her.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao came in from the outside, and Wen'e left with a wink.Xuanyuan Xuanxiao went upstairs with Shangguan Xueyan and the others, but he went to see Lord Luo first.

"This year's snow seems to have fallen a bit early, we still have to get on the road as soon as possible, otherwise the road will be even more difficult when the snow is heavy." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao sat next to Shangguan Xueyan, but he was through The doors and windows looked outside and said.

"Yeah, it's a little early. Let's see if it doesn't snow too much tomorrow. Let's go on the road." Shangguan Xueyan also looked outside. It should be fine.

Shangguan Xueyan knew that they had to go back before the year, because this year the Xuanyuan Clan had a major event to do, that is, the current patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan was getting old and had to elect a new patriarch.Speaking of the election is actually just a formality, because the entire Xuanyuan Clan knows that the new patriarch must be Xuanyuan Xuanxiao, and they will have to be present at that time.

Don't look at the Xuanyuan family as the royal family, in fact, it is the same as other aristocratic families. After all, the Xuanyuan royal family was not the royal family from the beginning.So they are actually the same as ordinary families, and the Xuanyuan clan they follow also follows.The only difference is that the patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan is not the only authority, because there is also an emperor.However, the patriarch still has a position in the clan, but most of it is to balance the contradictions within the Xuanyuan clan.

Shangguan Xueyan knew that when Xuanyuan Xuanxiao became the so-called patriarch, she would have an extra layer of shackles and a heavy burden.She said she would bear it with him, Xiyue's burden was his as well as hers.Shangguan Xueyan still doesn't know what she will face ahead, but she won't back down.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao, who was sitting opposite Shangguan Xueyan, didn't know that Shangguan Xueyan was thinking so much, so far, and didn't know what was going on in her heart.

They ate dinner in the lobby of the inn. The reason why they suddenly appeared here was Shangguan Xueyan's intention. She suddenly wanted to hear the sound here.The voices of those passing by, the voices of the people here.

Shangguan Xueyan and the others sat down at a relatively large table in a corner of the hall, after all, there were quite a few of them.Xuanyuan Yunmo asked Xiaoer to serve the food according to the menu, and they sat down and waited for the food to be served.

"There are quite a lot of people here today." Lord Luo looked at the people who were eating in the hall and said.The store looked empty when they arrived yesterday, but today it was almost full.

"It's snowing outside, maybe it's because we're afraid that the road will be difficult to walk, and this is the only shop nearby where we can rest our feet." Yun Moxue picked up a plate of fried beans given by the waiter on the table and started eating. When the prince said, he pointed to the outside.

There was a crackling sound, the sound of Yun Moxue chewing beans.

Shangguan Xueyan also followed his fingers to look outside, the snow seemed to be heavier than when they came back, they will not be stranded here!
"Mother, it feels so cold this winter, it's much colder than last year." Xuanyuan Yunmo rubbed his hands and said, he also felt the coolness with the charcoal basin here.

"It's a little colder this year."

Shangguan Xueyan and the others were talking about this matter, and those people were also talking about this matter.

"It's really cold, does the shopkeeper have a larger charcoal basin, how many more can I burn?" Some people may not be able to stand the cold, so they shouted for charcoal basins in the store.

"Guest officer, wait a moment. It's not unexpected that it's snowing suddenly. The carbon prepared in the store is a little less, and I've already sent someone to buy it. Why don't you have some wine first to keep warm?" the innkeeper said. He walked out from behind the counter, looking humble, but when it came to wine, there was no less shrewdness in his eyes.

"Then hurry up, it's really cold today."

"Who says it's not? It seems that I won't be able to return home today. I don't know why the family members are worried."

"Wait a minute, maybe it won't come down at night." The man was trying to persuade others, but he still looked outside anxiously.

"Don't complain. It's snowing now. I don't know how many people will die in Wujia Village this year. People die in Wujia Village every winter. It's so pitiful." I don't know who said this suddenly.

"That's right, who let the people of Wujia Village live in the mountains? The snowstorm there is probably the biggest in West Vietnam. I heard that it started snowing there a month ago. Once it snows, you can't get out inside. No. It’s strange to say that you are all from Xiyue, so why is their place different from other places?” Someone answered, talking about the strangeness of Wujia Village.

"I heard people say that Wujiacun offended God and was punished." Someone said mysteriously.

"I heard that's true. Think about it, otherwise Wujiacun will be different from other places." The man's remarks were even approved.

Shangguan Xueyan heard what they were talking about about Wujiacun, and she thought that she would be punished by the sky, that was nonsense, maybe the geographical environment of Wujiacun was rather peculiar.Shangguan Xueyan had to go and have a look in order to know what was going on there. It would not be a good thing for people to freeze to death every year.Now that she knows, she should find a way to help them.

Shangguan Xueyan took a look at Xuanyuan Xuanxiao, and Xuanyuan Xuanxiao knew what she was thinking, so Xuanyuan Xuanxiao stood up from his seat, walked in front of those people and began to make friends with them, he wanted to know more about Wujia Village.

"An Er, go to the county government to see if you can get back the local county annals." Shangguan Xueyan thought that since Xuanyuan Xuanxiao asked the county magistrate to block Shili Pavilion today, it means that the county magistrate knew they were here. That should have seen An Er.Let An Er go for a trip now, it shouldn't be a problem.

An Er and the others sat at another table near Shangguan Xueyan and the others, and he got up and left when he heard Shangguan Xueyan's order.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao also soon learned something about Wujiacun, and he sat back to them with a heavy face.

"Xuan Xiao, what's the matter?" Lord Luo asked looking at Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's not-so-good-looking expression.

"It is said that Wujia Village has been around for hundreds of years. The village is not very big. But it is very strange. I heard from them that winter comes very early there. We are in autumn, and they are already in winter. In fact, according to what they said, the temperature in the four seasons there is very abnormal. In short, the temperature there is different from other places. It is because the temperature is different from most places in Xiyue, so the people in Wujia Village don’t know what to plant. If the rest of the time is okay, they can do some work outside to support their families. But in winter, there is nothing to do, so they can only go home and eat what they saved. It will be difficult for them to survive." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao told them what he had just learned.

"Is it the same for the villages near them, and why don't they move to a place where they can survive?" Shangguan Xueyan asked strangely, those people's brains can't be so rigid.

"It's not that they don't want to, but the local officials don't want to do it. I heard that they also wrote a petition and wanted to move elsewhere. The nearby villages didn't dare to take them in because of the rumors. Even the county magistrate at the time said they shouldn't let them harm other people. If you don’t say anything, give them another land. The villagers in Wujia Village have no choice but to continue to live there.” This is also the reason for Xuanyuan Xuanxiao’s anger. Those villagers are ignorant, but the county magistrate is too incompetent Alright.

Shangguan Xueyan also felt that the county magistrate had done too much, and she didn't know that the county magistrate thought so at the time.Shangguan Xueyan felt that it was necessary for them to take a look at the current situation of Wujia Village.
