Yun Wu asked Wang Tuo: "Can you tell where the wind is coming from?"
Wang Tuo looked up at the sky, then lay down and listened to the sound, then looked around and said, "If the estimate is correct, it should be coming from the northwest."
"Move all the carriages to the northwest wind and block the tents."
The carriage is high and can block some wind, but the horses also need to be fenced. Horses would probably be frightened by such a strong wind.
"Then take the horses to the back of the camp and close the fence so they don't get upset when the wind blows, so they don't run away."
These horses are all extremely good horses snatched from the Cang Jue tribe. Yun Wu will feel pain if she loses one.
Helianjue also asked many people to collect more firewood and cattle and sheep dung. If the snow is too heavy, we may be trapped here for several days.
Everyone was busy fixing the tents and piling up the carriages. The carriages were stacked all the way up to form a large wall. Yun Wu also asked people to put some big stones on the carriage to ensure that the carriage would not be blown away by a strong wind.
The wind became louder and louder, and the horses behind the tent became irritable, pacing and roaring.
The more irritable the horse is, the stronger the wind is. Horses have very good hearing and can hear farther than humans, which means there is a strong wind blowing this way.
Wang Tuo said anxiously: "Ask the people who gathered firewood to come back quickly, so if you enter the camp, the wind should be very strong. If there happens to be a heavy snowstorm or hail, they may not be able to come back."
As soon as the firewood collectors returned to the tent, hailstones as big as goose eggs fell down and hit the tent with a banging sound. Along with a fierce storm, the temperature suddenly dropped.
The clouds in the sky were very low. It was still afternoon, but the weather was as dark as night, and the visibility was only one or two meters.
Yun Wu asked Bao Yi: "Have Lei Lei and others returned from helping?"
Ling Wang and the others were camping in the open space next to them. Lei Ting and the others went over to help. Just now Yun Wu was busy setting up the carriage and hadn't had time to ask them about the situation.
"When Hailstorm came, they still had some tents that had just been set up halfway. Thunder and others were still helping, so they should stay there."
Yun Wu looked at the strange scene outside and didn't dare to send anyone over to take a look now. The visibility was too low and she couldn't clearly see the situation on King Ling's side.
However, even if it is not finished, it should take a while to set up. If it is not successful, you should squeeze in other tents first.
The wind howled by, making the fabric of the tent rustle violently. The tent was not very airtight, and the wind got in, making it extremely cold.
It was so cold that my fingertips hurt.
Ye Shang held Yun Wu's hand and used his inner strength to warm her: "If it's still cold, come into my arms."
Yun Wu shook her head, her small face looking particularly petite in the snow-white fox fur: "It's not cold anymore, I'm wearing such a thick cloak."
She would not wrong herself in this regard. She had already put on the fox fur cloak.
Yubao Ashu also helped her soak it. Of course, holding Yubaozi's hand was not as warm as Ye Xiang's.
Ye Xiang's momentum is cold, but his hands are warm.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was completely dark before nightfall. The wind blew outside like a ghost, and the hail showed no sign of stopping.
Amon lit a candle to illuminate the tent. There was not enough firewood and cow dung to make a fire for cooking and boiling water. It could not be used for heating, so he could only temporarily use clothes to keep warm.
"Miss, I saw that it started to snow again outside. The snow was mixed with hail. Now there is a thick layer on the ground. It has only been snowing for a quarter of an hour..."
Ah Shu said a little worriedly.
They don't know when the snow and hail will stop. If it keeps falling, they will be trapped here for a long time.
Yun Wu frowned. The weather was really depressing. She was almost in an illusion, but she couldn't enter the illusion in such weather.
It doesn't matter if you can't enter the illusion and find the treasure, but if you can't find the miracle doctor, it means you've come in vain.
The miracle doctor was a strange person, unwilling to leave the illusion, nor his own little valley.
They must seek medical treatment in person.
But no matter how powerful a person is, he is still small in the face of nature. The world is ruthless and there is nothing you can do to harm you.
Now we can only think of ways to protect people first. The blizzard does not know how many days it will be closed. We can only keep people fed and clothed.
"Don't worry, we'll see what happens after the snow stops." Ye Xiang comforted her.
Yun Wu nodded: "Thanks to Wang Tuo this time, he said a few days ago that there would be heavy snow, so we made preparations very early."
Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to continue walking into the illusion in such weather.
Let’s not talk about whether people can walk or whether horses will become agitated. People can freeze to death if they walk outside without much clothing in this temperature.
"I didn't expect him to be capable of this." Ye Xiang also admired it quite a bit.
"He also relied on him to check the weather and wind direction in the village. He has a unique talent in this area. He was very interested when we talked about the stars that night. I only told him what I knew, so he could study it by himself.
Something came out.
I didn’t expect him to be able to tell that a storm was coming, it’s amazing in this regard.”
Just like her ability to read stars, this was also taught by her master when she was learning the art of soul-stirring in Xuanmen.
She majors in soul-stirring, but she also needs to learn other things in Taoism, such as fortune-telling, horoscopes, astronomy, and psychology. She is not very proficient in it, but she understands the basics.
She didn't expect that with her little knowledge, she could bring Wang Tuo out and know how to read the weather. It was really an unexpected surprise.
She didn't really believe in Wang Tuo at first, but she still made preparations, but she didn't expect it to actually happen.
Wang Xiaoxiao chuckled and said: "Then you are willing to take him with you, so you have this unexpected joy."
Yun Wu glanced at Helianjue: "Some idle people even say that I support idle people."
Helianjue coughed slightly: "He looks like an idler. He does nothing every day and just studies in the carriage like a young master...
It seems that reading is still useful."
Wang Xiaoxiao said: "Of course it is useful, but thanks to his father's foresight, he knew to teach him how to read and write, so that he would have the basics to learn things.
Anyway, we are not short of money, so what’s the point of raising a few idle people? Many of our houses in Zhou Dynasty will keep guests, even if they don’t do anything all day long.”
In the past, Wang Xiaoxiao didn't understand why he had to support those idle people who wrote and wrote all day long. They had to travel around the house when they had nothing to do, and spent the money in the house without doing anything for the house.
Later, her sister kept getting pregnant and had miscarriages, and she went to many doctors to no avail. Finally, she was able to save the fetus with a prescription given by a retainer in the house.
Some of them may seem useless to you when you keep them, but sometimes they may be useful if something really happens.
Helianjue asked in surprise: "Is this what you all do in Zhou Dynasty? Do you care for idlers? Don't do anything? Give them food and money?"
"Many aristocratic families do this. Don't underestimate these people. They may save lives at critical moments."
"If they don't work all day long and just eat, drink and have fun, what can they do to save lives?"
"There is indeed no guarantee that it will save lives. The main reason is that my family has a lot of money and doesn't care about supporting so many people.
If one of them can really be useful at a critical moment, wouldn’t it be a profit?”
