Chapter 178 The End

However, there is Liangshan Volunteer Army here. The heavy snow for a few days and nights has not annihilated the county. On the contrary, the snow sweeping work has united the whole city, adding some lively joy to the cold Yuncheng.

This morning, when the first ray of sunshine sprinkled into the Guanyin Temple, Zhao Ze got up. After getting dressed, he came to the window and washed his face with snow water. Originally, he wanted to rinse his mouth, but he thought about it. This was the Song Dynasty. There was no toothpaste. Forget it, then he didn't rinse his mouth. After pushing open the corner of the window, he reached out and grabbed the crystal white. Xue, suddenly stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and said to his heart: Is this okay? It's a mouthwash! Snow is better than salt.

After gargling, Zhao Ze clicked his mouth and aftertaste. He felt that the snow at this time tasted very good, with a natural taste. I don't know how much better it was than the shaved ice in later generations. The only regret was that there was no ice cream, no cream, and no all kinds of flavored juice.

Otherwise, it's very comfortable. If you want to eat lemon vanilla ice cream shaved ice, just go outside the house, take a porcelain bowl, scoop up a bowl of ice and snow everywhere, and then quickly return to the house. After putting it steady, first scoop three spoons of ice cream to the top, then sprinkle lemon juice, vanilla juice, and finally in the snowy mountain of shaved ice. Put a red and attractive strawberry on the top, so that a bowl of pure natural 'Da Song shaved ice' is ready. Please try it!

After a moment of wandering in the sky, the hot food was served on the table. Shangguan Mei helped him pour a bowl of hot wine, saying that the cold outside was too heavy. She took a few sips to go to the cold and asked Zhao Ze to come over for dinner.

"Here we are, my dear lady!" Zhao Ze affectionately called Shangguan Mei, and the wind came to the table.

"Who is your dear wife? It's embarrassing for you to call others like this. Don't call me like this in front of outsiders in the future." Shangguan Mei gave Zhao Ze a fierce look, but it was a secret word between lovers.

Zhao Ze understood and kept answering, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong. I won't call you like this in front of outsiders in the future. It's okay to call you like this at home!"

"That doesn't work either. I always feel weird. It seems to be a gorgeous word for the girl in the brothel."

"Madam, you don't know that this dear is a common phrase in the country of Taixi. After meeting us, ask them if they have no meal. His Majesty the king of the country of Taixi always talks to the queens and princesses in this way, which makes them look close. Madam, you just get used to it."

"You're lying to me again. What kind of Thai country? It's just some countries. They are all savages and don't know etiquette. They can't be called dear when they meet. I can't stand it!"

"Hahaha"

Zhao Ze laughed and poured half a bowl of hot wine for Shangguan Mei, so that she could also take a few sips, warm up and go to the cold. Shangguan Mei picked up the porcelain bowl and touched Zhao Ze and said, "Do it. You can't drink too much. You have to sweep the snow today!"

"Okay, drink some wine to live the blood, and work hard for a while. You said you were not a lady!" Zhao Ze teased Shangguan Mei with a pun.

"Yes, but you are not allowed to touch Xiaobai's finger again, otherwise I will no longer pay attention to you. Do you hear me!"

"Yes, my wife, can we touch her after we get married?"

Shangguan Meibai glanced at Zhao Ze, "That's almost the same, but before that, you have to pass my test first"

"No problem, you can pass a few levels. Why don't you tentatively set five levels first?"

Shangguan Mei laughed and said, "You think you will kill six generals after passing five levels"

"There is no need for six generals. You can't fight for your husband. Please show mercy at that time."

Zhao Ze's provocative words finally made Shangguan Mei giggle and giggle. While laughing, he pinched Zhao Ze's thigh and scolded, "Tarn you to be honest and cut off your objects"

After dinner, the horn sounded in Yuncheng, which was the kind of copper horn, which was very similar to the horn, after three horns.

The Liangshan Volunteer Army in the city took a unified action, commanded by Zhou Mengde, Gongsun He, Zhao Ze, Xiaobai, Ruan Xiaobao and others, and carried out the snow sweeping work that day.

This job seems to be nothing. In fact, it needs a lot of manpower, because the streets and alleys of Yuncheng need to be cleaned. Not only that, several large houses also need to be cleaned.

For example, the county government where Zhou Mengde stayed, the Chengnan Barracks where Gongsun He lived, the Guanyin Temple in Zhao Ze, and the private houses where soldiers are scattered, all need to be cleaned.

In order to prevent the heavy snow from crushing the roof, we have to climb on the roof to sweep the snow on the tiles. This work is even more difficult. It is very necessary to cooperate and pay attention to safety. Therefore, this vigorous snow sweeping work is very slow, at least in the morning, and it will get up quickly in the afternoon, because the snow has been cleaned up. On the ground, you only need to save the snowdrifts and use dustpans, bamboo baskets, sacks, carts, and all the tools that can be used to shovel and carry the snow out of the city.

However, the place where the snow is made also needs to be considered. You can't fall casually. Under Zhao Ze's arrangement, Li Yu and Chao Fang were sent to coordinate this matter. They are responsible for directing the snow pouring on the moat at the gate. It can't be done after it, and it has to be flattened. Otherwise, the snow wall will be higher and higher, and it will endanger the wall. In case there is an enemy. For the crime, he broke into the wall with the snow wall, but he dug a hole for himself.

Therefore, this pile of snow also needs to be leveled.

When all this is over, the day will pass. Zhao Ze took Shangguan Mei home and took a shower. When the cook cooked the food, he had dinner with Shangguan Mei. During the dinner, Zhao Ze asked Shangguan Mei worriedly, "Madam, you said that you need to burn dry firewood in this snowy day. There is no charcoal in our Yuncheng now. Weng, there is no woodcutter. He has to send people into the mountains to cut wood all day long. There are at least 1,000 people on this trip. The first three days are the subordinates of Master Gongsun, the next three days are my subordinates, and the last day is the subordinates of Master Zhou. Do you think the army still has the strength to fight in the long run?

Shangguan Mei looked at the rice on the table, looked at the hot kang in the room, and said, "There's nothing I can do. The people in Yuncheng have run away. Let's put up with it for the time being. Maybe it will be fine after winter."

"This is a difficult problem, and there is also our food and fodder. Master Gongsun said that he has finally got a lot of people running around during this period, but it can only last until March and April next year at most. During this period, we have to save money. So I wonder if we also learn from the ancients to send people into the mountains to hunt and take advantage of the middle of winter. Before that, ask the brothers to catch more game for food and grass. In this way, it can at least relieve it, and it can also make the brothers eat better." Zhao Ze said his thoughts while eating.

"That's right. I'll take people into the mountains to hunt tomorrow. Try it. I hope I can catch the prey."

"Okay, that lady will work hard for you tomorrow. By the way, take Chao Fang with you. He is strong enough to help you carry things, and there is also a care. Hunting in the mountains is not a joke. I'm worried that you will be in danger for my husband."

"Husband, you have been worrying too much. Don't you know that I am the eldest disciple of Wei Chongxiao, the second master of the Huashan School? It's not enough to go hunting in the mountains. Don't worry that there will be any danger."

"Well, just be careful. Let's eat."

Dinner time was spent in the words of Zhao Ze and Shangguan Mei. After dark, the moon was as beautiful as water, and the long nightlife began.

On the first day, Zhao Ze planned to visit the hermit who lived in the shabby alley. After wearing a cotton-padded coat, he took Shangguan Mei and Chao Fang out. Before leaving, he told Li Yu to look at the brothers and not ask them to go out to cause trouble. If he was really bored, he would play cards. Some time ago, he didn't draw something called poker. I also asked Chuixue Bookstore to print a hundred copies and ask them to play poker. If you don't want to play poker, go to the yard and stand cool. Anyway, don't make trouble for him.

Li Yu took the order and promised, "Master, don't worry. In addition to poker, they can also play dice and practice sumo. In short, my subordinates will arrange it!"

Since Li Yu was confident, he was relieved. After taking Shangguan Mei and Chao Fang to the street, he walked towards the shabby alley.

Before he came out much distance, the sky over Yuncheng was suddenly illuminated by something. Zhao Ze suddenly raised his head and found several bright spots flashing in the deep night sky. Although it was only a blink of an eye, the light was very unusual. A few seconds later, the bright spot suddenly turned into a few lightnings to cut through the night sky and went straight to the boundary of Yuncheng. Come here.

"No, a bolt from the blue is not a good omen. My husband, come with me quickly!"

Shangguan Mei reacted quickly. She pulled up Zhao Ze and flew up in the street. Chao Fang followed closely. When the three of them ran to a street corner, they opened the door of the family and dodged in.

"What are you?" Zhao Ze was about to ask each other.

Shangguan Mei made a silent action. Maybe a woman's sixth sense is really effective. Just in a moment, several lightning strikes several places in Yuncheng, and one of them fell on the place where the big star fell in the Guanyin Temple.

Some of the rest fell on the edge of the woods outside the city, burning big trees, some fell on the roadside not far from the gate, and some fell close to the north wall, knocking down the stones at the head of the city several feet high.

After a few lightnings landed, I saw black clouds surging in the night sky, dense clouds, and the clouds were spinning like flying. In an instant, a funnel-shaped cloud column was born. The cloud pillar was very scary, like a sea god needle directly inserted into the earth of Yuncheng. The surrounding air was sucked in, and the wind roared at the mouth of the cloud pillar. The wind roared, and even the people standing on the ground heard it.

"Oh, my God, what is this?"

"I know, it's a dragon. The dragon is coming. Run away." Someone screamed in the dark.

This scream didn't matter. It really scared the soldiers guarding the city. They really thought it was the birth of a dragon. The sky and the earth collapsed. After a scream, they rushed down the wall and fled back to the house and dodged. They kept beating the drum in their hearts. They were so nervous that they kept talking about the blessings of the Buddha in the sky. Blessed by the Buddha, blessed by the emperor, blessed by the Jade Emperor, and blessed them so that nothing will happen.

A once-in-a-century wonder suddenly appears in the night sky, which is a harbinger of disaster for ordinary people. However, that was only half right. When the funnel-shaped cloud pillar grew into mid-air, it suddenly stopped. After a moment, it became bigger and bigger like a pocket, until it was enough to swallow the whole Yuncheng.

Listen to the thunder in the silent place.

When people on the ground look up, they see another world, a dark, cold and infinite world. In fact, it is the universe.

The funnel-shaped cloud pillar completely stopped when it was close to a few hundred feet above Yuncheng. Zhao Ze held his breath and looked at the sky from the crack of the door. He said to his heart: Damn, what's going on this time? Isn't it really a collapse? My good life has only passed a quarter, but it seems that there is going to be a typhoon. Press Generally speaking, typhoons usually occur in coastal areas. Because of the uneven coldness and warmth of the sea, it causes a strong convection. Coupled with the rotation of the earth, the typhoon is formed. Look, the hole in the middle of the cloud column is actually the eye of the typhoon. Generally speaking, as long as you hide in the eye area, you will not encounter danger. After all, this is often As long as it is the future, everyone on earth knows it.

But looking at the situation tonight, he was a little uncertain. He also played a drum in his heart, grabbed Shangguan Mei's hand, and sweated coldly.

"My husband, you are afraid!" Shangguan Mei blew a cool breath in Zhao Ze's ear.

Zhao Ze shivered, and the hair on his back stood up. A moment later, the cloud pillar suddenly contracted, as if it were the wriggling birth canal when the baby was born.

There was a loud rumbling sound between heaven and earth, and several golden lights flew out of the cloud pillar. Every golden light is the size of a pool of water, falling straight into the land of Yuncheng.

The earth cracked, and the whole city shook three times, so that the hanging wall collapsed and the house collapsed.

After the shaking stopped, a snow wave more than ten feet high suddenly surged under the north wall. The big waves emptied and rushed to the sky, like a tsunami. Zhao Ze screamed, hugged Shangguan Mei, kissed her heavily on the lips, and then told her sadly, "Tonight, we are dead!"
