I open a restaurant in Xiujie

The evening wind is desolate, and the sun is snowing.

Everything indicates that this will be an exceptionally cold winter.

On the edge of a forest more than ten kilometers away from Luo Town, a hunter straightened his pointed felt hat that was blown crooked by the cold wind, looked back at the dead branches and branches bent by the snow, silent for a long time, and sighed Take a breath.

There was an animal skin bag on his shoulder, which was shriveled and only slightly bulged at the end, which seemed to be the outline of a rabbit.

But there is only one rabbit, how can the whole family share food?

Thinking of the old mother at home, and the son who was only four or five years old, Orion clenched the leather bag in his hand, and suddenly felt a lot heavier on his shoulders.

"That's not possible..."

He stepped into the snow with one foot deep, and muttered in his mouth: "They are all hidden. The prey they hunted are not enough to survive the winter. We still have to think of other ways. I remember that there is a river in the east..."

Is it possible to catch fish and eat by digging holes in the river?

But when he thought of the thick layer of ice on the river, Orion's shoulders trembled, and he trembled from the bottom of his heart.

...Forget it, let's see again.

Orion shook his head, thinking helplessly, his family is pretty good, at least he is young and strong, and he can hunt some prey and chop some firewood to survive.

Unlike many families in the village, when winter comes, they may have to sell their sons and daughters again.

...Even so, it may not be possible to live, because the current winter is really too cold, extremely cold.

Look at this gloomy sky, I'm afraid it will snow again at night.

How many people can survive the snow tonight?

With so many thoughts flying, Orion couldn't help raising his head, looking at the gloomy sky, and let out another long breath of foul air.

Before he could finish his breath, he suddenly heard a loud bang in his ears.

The sky and the earth shook, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, scaring the Orion to run away with his head in his arms. He ran up the hillside and shouted: "The earth dragon has turned over! Run, run—"

But immediately, Orion's screaming stopped abruptly.

He saw a huge handful of flames.

Scorching like the morning sun, Chi Huang rose from the mountain forest and exploded, followed by the sound of raging waves, approaching from far away, like thunder.

Orion is like a chicken that has been strangled, his eyes widened dully, looking at the unbelievable scene in front of him - the half-meter-deep solid ice on the river bed shattered, and the silver-white torrent neighed like thousands of horses Qiming, Haohao Tangtang flew straight down, breaking all the ice along the road with a mighty momentum!

The silver current rolls over the snow, the cold ice, and the broken beams and branches in the secluded forest...

And the fresh, tender and plump fish swimming under the water.

So many fish!Orion has never seen so many fish in his life, like colorful flowers blooming under the water surface, rising and falling with the turbulent water waves, and silver fish jumping out of the river from time to time, drawing a magnificent arc in mid-air.

Only then did Orion come to his senses, and hurriedly took off the leather bag on his body to pick it up.

Big fish as long as a forearm fell into the leather bag one after another, and it didn't take long to pick up a full bag. The surface of the bulging leather bag was taut, making a little hissing sound of being overwhelmed.

Holding a whole bag of fish, Orion trembled with surprise.

These fish are big and fat, they are frozen into dried fish, and some wild vegetables are added to cook them into fish soup. They can eat them sparingly, enough for their whole family to eat for a month!

If there is still a little left out, he can even sell it in the market, and finally buy some charcoal to go home-it is said that this thing is a hundred times better than firewood, and a small piece can be burned for a long time, warm and warm. The daughter-in-law baked it, and it can also relieve her monthly abdominal pain!

God bless, this is really God bless!

Regardless of the biting cold ground, Orion knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the fire.After knocking a few times, he suddenly saw a few figures coming from the depths of the dense forest, and the spiritual wind drifted beside them, pushing away the flying snowflakes, just like pushing away the long-standing clouds and mist pressing on the top of the mountains.

Orion's eyelashes were covered with snow, and his eyes were blurred, making it hard to see clearly.

He could only recognize a few tall men at the head, followed by a bunch of short men like tails, like a group of children.

This group of children strolled in the wind and snow, but they seemed to be walking on flat ground. They were definitely not children from ordinary families.Orion also saw one of the children being supported by others, who seemed extremely tired, but when she stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the choppy river below and the fish swarming in groups, she swayed a few times, as if she was feeling tired again. Showed a happy smile.

The gentle voice drifted along the wind and reached Orion's ears: "In this way, the river will not freeze for at least three days, and the people in Fangyuan Book can use these three days to catch river fish."

Another person said: "This is just a river, there are hundreds of rivers in Qingzhou."

"Then keep going, we don't just have a fire spirit root like Liu Yatou in our school."

"Brother Xiaotan, I'm not tired, just give me half an hour, I can continue..."

"Miss Xiaoliu, please rest for a while, I'll be the next one! I'm Tulingen, changing the mountain and breaking the ice couldn't be easier!"

"Me, me, me, too!"

"..."

The voices of people drifted away gradually, but Orion still maintained a stiff kneeling posture.

He originally thought that the breaking of the river ice was an auspicious sign from heaven, but he didn't expect that all of these were the actions of the cultivators, and according to the words of those children, not only this side of the river, they would also break more ice and give more Many people have the hope of surviving in this severe winter.

Where did this group of little fairies come from?

Orion's eyes gradually became moist.

The fresh fish in the leather bag was still struggling, and its wet tail raised up and patted his shoulder, telling him that all this was not a dream.

There are really monks who... care about the life and death of ordinary people?

Orion kept his kneeling posture, and kowtowed a few more times—even he himself didn't notice that during these kowtows, he was obviously more serious than before when he worshiped the heavens.

Immediately, Orion hurried home with a bag full of fish on his back.

That night, Orion's house drank hot fresh fish soup.

The fish just caught from the river, even without seasoning, the soup is delicious enough.Moreover, this fish is big enough, it is the kind that overturns the whole river before it emerges from the bottom of the river, which is quite rare on weekdays.

The family enjoyed themselves, and Orion poured himself some low-quality shochu, chatting about what he had seen and heard during the day, feeling quite emotional: "If the whole world could be full of monks like this, our lives would not be so easy. It's been so hard."

The boy who was just five years old was sitting in his father's arms, blinking his dark eyes half-understood, and after a while, he suddenly called out in a childish voice: "Father, when I grow up, I want to do it too." Such a monk."

Orion was in high spirits, and when he heard the words, he burst into laughter, laughed and patted his son's soft little head: "Okay, that's good!"

Although he smiled happily, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. After all, Orion knew the qualifications of himself and his wife.

Where can the son be better?

In the future, it is enough to learn my own hunting skills so that I will not starve to death or freeze to death.

In addition, Orion dare not expect extravagantly.

Unable to sense spiritual power, he didn't know that when the stormy waves were set off in the mountains and forests, a tiny bit of thunder power merged into the river and into the body of the big fish, and now it turned into a very weak power of dao rhyme, flowing in his mouth In the fish soup for my son.

The young child was obediently holding the bowl, sipping the fish soup in small sips, and there was a faint light in his clear pupils.

……

Similar scenes happened around Qingzhou.

The children were divided into several teams and ran around, and the people were pleasantly surprised to find that this difficult winter suddenly became different——

The river in the forest suddenly thawed, and the fish plopped to the shore, and a lot of them could be scooped up with a wooden ladle. The trees in the forest were cut down by someone, and they were cut into thin firewood with a sword. , scattered on the ground so casually, elderly people can also pick up a basket, and go home to burn fires to keep warm; in many villages, there are people who spread porridge, and the leader is sometimes a man in Tsing Yi with a bad face, and sometimes a woman in a blue dress. The beautiful girl who smiled, and many children who were carved like fairy children, also learned to cook porridge by hand.

The snow is still falling, the wind is still blowing, but the whole winter has become inexplicably warmer.

For Yu Xiaotan, the effect of this practice is beyond imagination.

The transition from being rescued to saving others has obviously brought new experiences and perceptions to the children. They did not regard this social realization as a joke, but seriously thought about many problems they encountered. After the practice, everyone looked a lot more mature.

However, the spiritual power of Yu Xiaotan and others and the children remained in the fish and rice porridge, and was eaten by the children of poor families. All these silently brought many new changes to the Qixia world.

A new change that even Yu Xiaotan didn't know about.

It is quietly fermenting in the dark, and maybe one day in the future, it will cause a storm in the entire Qixia cultivation world.

Yu Xiaotan's dilemma at the moment is another problem: the winter is fading, the spring breeze is revived, and the year after year "Longmen Moon" in the Qixia Realm is just around the corner.

The kids... it's time to go.

Everyone in the restaurant was very reluctant, Bai Junda had already shed tears several times, and often shared meals with the children, and his eyes were flushed.

Yu Xiaotan was also very sad, and sometimes even wanted to let it go, leaving all the children in the restaurant, not letting any of them go.But what he never expected was that when he talked about everything and asked for their opinions, almost all the children chose to leave.

"Of course we want to stay in the restaurant, we don't even want to leave for a moment."

Among the children, Yaya, who was slightly older, had red eyes: "But we can't help Brother Xiaotan any more if we stay here."

Another girl with a fire spiritual root continued: "Yes. Brother Xiaotan, I hope that one day, when monks from all over the world pass by a frozen river in the cold winter months, they can dig a hole in the river with a little effort. "

"Just staying in the restaurant, staying under your umbrella, the dream is not going to come true."

Another boy said: "This winter social practice has shown me new possibilities to solve problems. But I still have doubts in my heart. I want to seek an answer from the world. If it doesn't give me an answer, I will create it myself." One, I believe that would be the outcome I like."

The children's echoes sounded one after another, and finally turned into a uniform and resounding guarantee in front of Yu Xiaotan.

"Brother Xiaotan, we will definitely let Qixia Realm hear our voice."
