Chapter 836 Snow Mountain Past (2)
Not long after, the area entered a cold winter season with heavy snow that lasted for three whole months.
Although the winters here are long and cold, people can stop here and there to give people and cattle and sheep time to rest.
The three months of continuous heavy snow made the whole world look bleak, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death.
People pray every day to the God of Snow Mountain to take back the ice and snow and bring good weather to the world.
But it's no use.
It seemed as if the gods could not hear people's prayers and the heavy snow continued to fall.
Houses began to collapse, and thousands of people froze to death or starved to death.
At some point, a rumor spread quietly in the county:
"I heard that the clan leader's wife was pregnant with a disaster star, so this caused the natural disaster."
"In fact, that night, the clan leader did not dream of snowflakes entering his womb, but of Tai Sui. But the clan leader was eager to have a child, so he was reluctant to kill the star of disaster or fortune."
"Yes, I heard about it too. Otherwise, how could our area, which has been peaceful and prosperous for so many years, suddenly have a snowstorm? It must be a disaster!"
"Hush, keep your voices down. If the clan leader hears you, he will definitely tie you up and punish you."
"The cattle and sheep at home have all frozen to death. If this continues, we will all starve to death. What shall we do?"
The patriarch paid no attention to these rumors. He was busy with disaster relief work every day and rarely went home.
Not only did he not notice the rumors, he didn't even notice his own brother's conspiracy.
The younger brother took advantage of the natural disaster and killed his elder brother, the clan leader, when he was out rescuing the herdsmen's cattle and horses.
When the patriarch's wife learned of her husband's death, she became miscarriage-stricken and gave birth prematurely.
The child was destined to be different from the moment he was born.
Her skin was extremely pale, without a trace of blood. Her hair was thick and snow-white, and even her eyebrows and eyelashes were white.
This scene scared the midwife.
The younger brother's wife even claimed that the child was a monster and wanted to drown her in a urine bucket. The clan leader's wife tried desperately to stop her but unfortunately died in the scuffle.
At this time, the clan leader's younger brother slowly stepped forward and said with a sad tone: "Since she is my eldest brother's flesh and blood, no matter whether she is a disaster or not, I will raise her up."
Just like that, the child who was once highly anticipated became an orphan at birth.
With her birth, there were constant rumors around her.
Some people said that she was born with bad luck. Before she was born, a snowstorm came, causing heavy casualties among her tribe. After she was born, her parents died.
Fortunately, the new patriarch turned the tide and received the blessing of the gods after taking office. The heavy snow stopped, the natural disasters disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
No one knew how hypocritical the new patriarch, Enshu's uncle, was.
He put on a hypocritical face in front of everyone, saying that he wanted to protect his brother's orphan.
In the first five years, Enshu had no worries about food and clothing.
But when the new patriarch's power was consolidated and he no longer needed to pretend to be nice, he gradually began to neglect the child.
The servants are the best at observing people's words and expressions and praising the powerful and bullying the weak.
Her food became worse and worse, and the quantity gradually decreased. In the end, she could only eat leftovers for one meal a day.
Her clothes also gradually changed from gorgeous and exquisite to servants' clothes. Later, when her clothes were torn, no one would mend or replace them for her.
She was like a little beggar, with unkempt hair and dirty face every day, and had to do some rough work such as washing clothes.
Strangely enough, after Enshu was born, the snowstorm disappeared and the weather returned to normal.
After Ke Enshu turned 5 years old, the days of good weather began to end and the weather became unpredictable again.
Drought in spring, floods in summer, snowstorms in winter...
Sacrificial activities were held one after another at the foot of the Shuern Snow Mountain.
Every morning and evening, people prayed to the God of Snow Mountain, praying devoutly for an end to the disaster and for good weather and harvests soon.
But the gods had no mercy on them, and disasters continued to strike every year in the following years.
And Enshu has grown to be 10 years old.
The 10-year-old Enshu was incredibly beautiful, with a pair of watery eyes as pure as ice and snow. The only thing that made her look very strange was her long, flowing snow-white hair.
Because of her strangeness, she had no friends or close people since childhood.
Everyone treated her like a monster, laughed at her, or bullied her.
Especially those naughty brothers and sisters from my uncle's family, who always take pleasure in bullying Enshu.
They pulled her long snow-white hair and said she looked like an old woman and was not pretty at all.
So they brought dyeing paints: red, yellow, green, blue... and splashed them on Enshu's long hair, dyeing it into brilliant colors.
On this cold winter day, she stood in the courtyard, all wet, and shivered from the cold wind.
She looked down at the gorgeous and beautiful dye that was slowly dripping down her hair, and she really didn't understand why these people were so hostile to her.
Obviously, a few years ago, my second uncle treated me well. At that time, those people didn't dare to bully her.
But why did Second Uncle suddenly become cold towards her, and even forbade her to call him "Second Uncle" anymore, and only allowed her to call him "Clan Leader"?
And why do those brothers and sisters always find pleasure in torturing themselves?
Is it really like the legend says? Am I a disaster?
It was snowing again. At first there were only a few small snowflakes, but soon they turned into heavy snow.
Those naughty children all hid in the house, only Enshu was still standing in the snowy yard, looking up at the vast sky.
The cold wind blows and the snow and ice are flying.
Soon her long hair was covered with snowflakes, which covered the mottled and dirty colors and turned her long hair back to a silvery-white color.
She gradually felt less cold, and the cold snow seemed to bring her warmth.
She couldn't help but open her arms and embrace the snow, as if she wanted to merge into one with the world.
When her second uncle was passing by the courtyard with his guests, they saw the girl, motionless and white like a snowman, in the heavy snow.
If her face wasn't exposed, people would have thought it was a lifeless snowman.
The second uncle didn't pay too much attention to these details, and greeted the guests around him: "Zhao County Magistrate, please come this way. The family banquet is ready, and we won't leave until we are drunk today."
The man called "County Magistrate" was wearing a blue official uniform. He was very young and looked like he was just a twenty-year-old.
In the vast snow, he saw the face of the "snowman" at a glance and was immediately surprised: "There is someone there! Quick, save him!"
Seeing that the people behind him hadn't reacted, County Magistrate Zhao lifted his robe and rushed into the heavy snow.
After some digging, he pulled a girl out of the snow.
She was so thin, looking no more than 10 years old, her clothes were thin and worn, her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes were all white, and her face was as pale as snow.
Sensing someone approaching, the girl's pure white eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that were crystal clear, pure and like amber.
In the heavy snow, in this dead pale silence, she saw him in a blue robe, like the first touch of green emerging from the snow-covered grassland.
The girl raised a weak smile at the corner of her lips: I saw spring...
