"Okay, let's go!"

Mo Yan said this and took the lead to walk out.

Outside, the snow is much thicker than yesterday.

The group walked along a path that had been cleared in advance and was only wide enough for two people to walk on. The snow in other places showed no signs of being cleared away.

This made Zhou Dachao and Ye Youqing very curious.

I wanted to ask this yesterday, but I didn’t have the chance. Today I couldn’t help it.

I thought asking about snow shoveling shouldn't be a taboo.

"Comrade Mo Yan, can I ask why we don't mobilize the villagers to shovel all the snow together? I think it's inconvenient for everyone to travel like this. If we just walk along this shoveled road, wouldn't everyone be able to move around as usual? Or do you think the snow is still falling and you're afraid that after you shovel it clean, it will be covered with snow again, so you want to wait until the snow stops and then shovel together?"

After Ye Youqing asked this question, Mo Yan didn't even need to answer, because Pei Guohua, who was walking at the back, answered first.

"Of course not. We have plenty of strong laborers in our village. If we need to shovel snow, we can mobilize all the young and old men in the village to clear the snow in a few minutes. The reason why it is not cleared is of course because our village deliberately left it there!"

"Ah? Why? Does this snow have any special function?"

Deep down, Zhou Dachao is still the kind of person who will consider the benefits of doing something before doing it.

Therefore, his first reaction was that Peijia Village must have some unknown purpose for keeping the snow.

Pei Guohua was speechless when he heard this. He felt that although these people from Kyoto were big shots, sometimes the things they were thinking in their heads really made even them, old farmers, speechless.

What other special functions does snow have?

This is the snow in the village, not on the ground.

They didn't grow winter wheat in Peijia Village, so even if there was snow on the ground, it wouldn't have much use.

What about those in the village?

"Is it possible that the snow is just left for the children and animal cubs to play with?"

Mo Yan walked in front and said slowly.

"Ah? Play?" Ye Youqing and Zhou Dachao said in unison.

This is an answer that I would never have thought of.

"Yes, there are so many children in the village. You must have seen it when you visited the school and kindergarten yesterday. There are also many animal cubs. Both the children in the village and the animal cubs love playing in the snow. So when the heavy snow was announced, my sister said that in addition to shoveling out necessary paths for people to walk on, the snow in other places should be left as much as possible so that the children in the village and the animal cubs can have more fun."

"Didn't you notice that there were paw prints and children's footprints on the snow in many places when you were on your way to school yesterday?"

After Pei Guohua asked this question, Ye Youqing and Zhou Dachao thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

At that time they just thought that someone was walking over from the area with thick snow. Looking back now, the footprints there were indeed much smaller and shallower than those of an adult, which meant that the people stepping on the snow were not very heavy, so they must have been children and small animals.

"It turns out to be like this, I am being utilitarian!"

Zhou Dachao realized that what he had just thought was really boring, so he immediately made a self-deprecating remark to himself.

"Mr. Zhou, you don't have to say that. It's just that as an adult, you always lack some childlike fun and innocence."

Mo Yan smiled nonchalantly and continued, "In Shannan, the village chief said that it doesn't snow this heavily very often. The weather this year is indeed a bit abnormal. In the first half of the year, there were wildfires, heavy rains and floods. After the beginning of winter, it doesn't seem so unusual to have three consecutive days of heavy snow."

"Since it won't turn into a snowstorm, and many children in the village love snow, we'll let them have fun. For some of the cubs in the mountains, this is the first time they've spent the winter in a village inhabited by humans. Some of them have the habit of hibernating in their genes, and now that they're in kindergarten and have many more friends to play with, they've actually overcome the call from their genes and stopped hibernating."

"Each of them is seeing snow for the first time since they were born. In this case, we have to keep the snow."

After Mo Yan's detailed explanation, Ye Youqing and the others understood.

Looking at the vast expanse of white all around and the hazy village in the snow, although I am in the south of the mountain, I feel like I am in the graceful Jiangnan region.

But this metaphor is actually inappropriate, because in the graceful Jiangnan region, there has never been such heavy snowfall.

However, after spring, if their bodies have fully recovered, I could suggest that Mo Yan take Niu Niu and the cubs to see the misty scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

"Okay, we'll be outside the village soon. I've already sent someone to notify the wild boar king. His tribe will be waiting for us at the border outside the village. In order to minimize the damage to the snow, the huge wild boar tribe will not enter the village in large numbers in the next few days."

As soon as Mo Yan finished speaking, everyone saw a group of more than a dozen large wild boars dozens of meters away.

The leader among them is the wild boar king, whose size is two or three times that of his younger brothers.

In fact, Ye Youqing and Zhou Dachao had already seen the Wild Boar King once yesterday, but at that time, there was a small and equally huge creature named Xiao Baibai next to it.

At that time, I just thought that these two guys were huge monsters, but I didn’t have any specific reference as to how big they were.

Now, looking at the younger brothers behind the Wild Boar King, and then looking at the Wild Boar King, this guy really deserves the title of Wild Boar King, there is no falsehood at all, he is really big, and really strong!

But he is really handsome.

Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace. When they got closer, they found that Meng Chang and Qin Hong were already standing next to the Wild Boar King's legs, one on each side, waiting for them.

"Comrade Mo Yan, you are here!"

Seeing Mo Yan and the others coming, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Ahem, Meng Chang, Qin Hong, you are here too!" Ye Youqing touched his nose awkwardly.

I clearly promised Meng Chang yesterday that I would tell him where I was going, but I forgot about it early this morning.

He ran to Mo Yan's house alone, completely forgetting about going with Meng Chang.

Seeing Meng Chang's reproachful look at him, Ye Youqing avoided him a little guiltily.

Fortunately, in front of Mo Yan at this moment, Meng Chang had no intention of settling accounts with Mr. Ye. Anyway, Comrade Mo Yan did not forget to ask Comrade Pei Guohua to notify him and Qin Hong to come together.

They didn't say much. The most urgent thing was to follow Comrade Mo Yan and Old Ye and Old Zhou into the mountains. Comrade Pei Guohua only said that Mo Yan asked them to accompany him into the mountains, but didn't say what they were going to do.

The two of them had never had the chance to go into the mountains with Comrade Mo Yan, so they ran over quickly upon hearing the news, fearing to miss it. They didn't even have time to ask what they were going to do in the mountains.
