Small Snowflakes and Big Ice Cubes

It was a cold night in the middle of winter, and when the bare skin came into contact with the air, you could feel the cold tingling almost instantly. Even if you walked through the masonry road in thick cotton shoes, the soles of your feet were still faintly numb.

There was a burst of snow particles at dusk, and if there is no accident, heavy snow will come. Tonight is not a suitable weather for travel.

However, right now, almost every central street in this city is bustling with people, and everywhere you see is bright and lively.

According to human beings, tonight seems to be called "Christmas Eve", as if to welcome the arrival of some festival, it is an annual grand carnival night.

Since it is a human holiday, it should have nothing to do with Little Snowflake—if tonight is not his first official job.

Little Snow Flower's name is "Little Snow Flower", but he is not Snow himself, but the Snow Boy who is in charge of cloth snow, and usually works under the hands of the Winter God.

After two full seasons of idleness, with the awakening of the winter god, the "work period" of the snow boys from all over the world began one after another this year.

However, for Xiaoxuehua, this year's situation is a bit different compared to usual.

Because...he officially came of age this year!

Adulthood means a lot of changes—such as changing from an intern to a regular worker, having a dedicated salary account, and... the intensity of assigned tasks has soared exponentially.

In the past long internship career, Xiaoxuehua and her seniors were in charge of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The climate in the whole area is warm and peaceful. Usually, the number of snowfalls throughout the year can not be counted on one hand. The work is not too easy.

On the day when I got the official work permit, I bid farewell to the senior uncle who has taken good care of me for many years. Xiaoxuehua was full of confusion, helplessness, anxiety, and reluctance... Thousands of emotions were mixed, and finally I couldn't help but hold each other's shoulders, Tears fell pitifully.

Seeing that my good apprentice is about to officially enter the workplace, the senior uncle is eager to see his apprentice Jackie Chan, and has prepared a lot of passionate messages in advance. Unexpectedly, when the juncture comes, before he can utter a word, the triple coat on his shoulders is first taken by the apprentice. The tears were drenched.

...Come on, it seems that there is no hope for this guy to have a future.

This master has not even taken a step, tears have already shed a catty - just such a squeamish person, how can you expect him to turn his hands around and turn his hands into frost and snow?

After all, it was the child who grew up with his own eyes, and seeing him crying miserably, he had no choice but to soften his tone and coax him: "Okay, there's nothing to cry about, I won't see you again in the future." Not anymore. When there is no work arrangement, you can come back to see me at any time."

The young boy who has just grown up is still choking up: "I, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will forget you? Don't worry, your master is not yet demented, and his memory is very good. Even if you change from male to female in the future, I will definitely recognize you!"

With tears in his eyes, the boy shook his head aggrievedly: "I...I'm afraid of being tired..."

"..."

Couldn't help but rolled his eyes to the sky, the senior uncle hated him for not fighting.

——Can my apprentice be any less promising?

He pushed his head away from his shoulder angrily: "I think you are living in a dream. With your poor spiritual power, you have no chance to suffer!"

Xiao Xianyu Benyu Snow Flower, not only was not shocked after hearing this, but blingbling hope filled his eyes: "...Really?"

The senior curled his lips and shrugged his wet shoulders: "Nonsense, I forgot how I got my name in the first place? Just based on the little snowflakes you made, the transcripts of the spiritual examination back then, do you need me?" Find it now and review it for you? Even if you really want to squeeze into those Shura fields in the north, people will still hate you and refuse to accept it..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing: "When the jurisdiction is allocated, your life may be more leisurely than mine."

Sometimes it is not a good thing to be too relaxed, after all, pay and reward are directly proportional.

As a teacher, what can be more powerless than seeing the future of the apprentice brought up by yourself is dusty and gloomy?

If I have to say it, it is probably only that the apprentice didn't think about making progress after hearing the above words, and even burst into tears on the spot-this kind of thing.

The so-called teacher's misfortune!

Unable to bear it any longer, the senior uncle finally kicked the rebel out of the house with his own hands in disgust: "Get out! Get out of here, brat!"

Little Snow Flower looked at the tightly closed door in front of him, knelt down sobbingly, kowtowed three times in a proper manner, wiped away his tears and stood up like a good man again, and then set foot on the own future journey.

——His goal is as far away as the stars and the sea!

——to be precise, to be a free salted fish in the sea of ​​stars!

With a bright vision for the future, Xiaoxuehua happily went to the fortification distribution station to report with a small amount of luggage on her back.Without much twists and turns, I quickly and smoothly got my stamped work letter and recommendation form.

According to the procedure, as long as you contact the team leader in charge of the jurisdiction in the letter and verify your identity, he can officially join the job right away!

While opening the letter, Comrade Xiaoxuehua fantasized happily——

I don't know which city it will be, city H? City D?Or F City?These are all typical tropical climates. It is said that residents wear short-sleeved vests for an average of 360 days out of [-] days a year...

--oops!Thinking about it this way, he should prepare several sets of sunscreen products in advance!What a mistake!

Just thinking like this, he had already opened the letter, and the moment the place name at the beginning caught his eye, the slightly annoyed thoughts in his mouth stopped abruptly.

Huh... City C?

Xiaoxuehua put down the letter expressionlessly, looked up at the sky, rubbed her eyes, did a few eye exercises with anxiety, took a few deep breaths, and then turned her gaze back to the letter paper.

Hmm...it's still City C.

——Could it be that when a city with the same name appeared?

With such unreasonable suspicions, Xiao Xuehua even went to buy the latest version of the map, conscientiously started from the name of the southernmost city, and searched slowly and slowly without giving up.

It wasn't until the other end at the other end that he finally found the familiar word.

...There is no second C city.

The legendary city of C...

The City of Winter, located at the northernmost tip of the border.

In the statistical tables of temperature changes in various places over the years, there is no exception year after year, and the records of various low temperature and cold waves are maintained without any suspense.

In the legendary living hell that scares all the snow boys, the workplace pressure is so high that they work overtime for half of the year, and even one day of overtime work is equivalent to a month in other cities.

All in all, the ultimate crematorium in the ultimate Shura field.

"..."

Thinking of the horrible rumors he heard in the past, the boy Little Snow Flower suddenly felt dizzy, and his eyes turned black.

A few seconds later, a shrill scream accompanied by crying burst out suddenly above the gate of the fortification distribution center——

"Master, you lied to me!!"
