But this heavy snow still exceeded everyone's imagination.
Blizzard weather.
They couldn't even go out of the door, let alone return to their rooms. Even the temple was temporarily sealed.
Listening to the commotion outside, people couldn't help but feel alarmed.
Cheng Xiaotian, who had been sitting against the wall, couldn't help but look back at the window. He got up on his knees, leaned against the window, and looked out through the damaged small hole. He saw that the outside was white with snow, and occasionally dead branches were swept by the wind and hit the roof or walls, making frightening noises.
Cai shi quickly pulled him down and scolded him to stay put, "What are you looking at! Aren't you afraid of your eyeballs being hit and becoming blind!"
Cheng Xiaotian flinched at the scolding and said, "Mom, the snow outside is really heavy. I've never seen such heavy snow!"
It was to the extent that he felt a little scared.
Cai shi was also worried. Although they were fortunate enough to travel smoothly all the way, without pursuers or other rogue groups bullying them.
But the weather was getting worse and worse, and now they couldn't even go out.
And the sound of branches hitting from time to time made her feel uneasy.
She was afraid that the house couldn't withstand it.
Xi shi looked at the bowls and chopsticks that everyone had finished and said worriedly, "Oh dear, this damned weather, I can't even go out to wash the bowls and chopsticks!"
She was also scared by the scene.
Let alone the young children who had never seen it, even they, the adults, had never seen it!
Such heavy snow.
"I'm really afraid that the house will be buried by the heavy snow. We'll have to take turns to clear the snow, otherwise, we'll all be trapped here?"
Xi shi said.
Cai shi also sat down beside them and looked at everyone in the room, feeling a little more at ease. At least they weren't alone and so helpless.
"Don't panic. Look at those two children, they don't even frown. We are panicking first. As that child Miaomiao said, don't worry too much."
Just as Cai shi finished speaking, there was another sound of something hitting the wall behind her, which startled her. The children also became scared.
As mothers, they could only hold their children close and comfort them in a low voice.
Cheng Xiaotian was alright, but he also worried like a little adult!
Everyone in the room was terrified by the darkening sky and the increasingly cold temperature. If it weren't for so many people, they would have frozen to death. They all wrapped themselves tighter in their clothes and huddled together for warmth.
Cheng Hao also hugged Su Miaomiao in his arms, keeping her within his safe zone.
He felt very secure.
They both sat against the wall, fully armed and dressed thickly, so they didn't feel very cold. The only parts that felt the cold were the exposed areas with less protection, such as the face, hands, and feet.
Su Miaomiao felt that her feet were always very cold, and her socks were not very warm.
Cheng Hao noticed her frequent subtle movements of touching her feet and reached out to feel them. They were indeed icy cold, and his brows furrowed sharply.
In front of so many people, he couldn't openly take things out of his storage space. And they weren't inside the carriage, so hand warmers and other items couldn't be used. He subtly shielded her, put a hand warmer around her ankles, and then helped her cover her skirt tightly.
Su Miaomiao immediately felt much better. She couldn't help but feel a little touched. He could always sense her discomfort and resolve it properly. Next to her childhood sweetheart, she wasn't afraid of anything, not even if the sky fell, as long as she had him.
"How long will this blizzard last? If it continues like this, we might really be trapped here, which is also dangerous."
Su Miaomiao also held Cheng Hao's hand to warm it. Neither of their hands was warm.
Cheng Hao just told her to wait, as no one knew how long it would last.
"If you're tired, just sleep for a while. When you wake up, the snow outside will probably have stopped."
He patted his little childhood sweetheart's shoulder, signaling her to lean on him and sleep.
Su Miaomiao wasn't tired but didn't refuse. She leaned on his shoulder with his gentle push, rubbed against him, and then comfortably closed her eyes to rest.
Cheng Hao held her steady in his arms, protecting her, for fear that she might tilt over when she fell asleep. He also reached out to help her adjust her clothes.
She was covered tightly.
A man's vigorous body heat was indeed warming. Leaning on him, she even felt warmer.
Su Miaomiao was baked by his warm body and felt sleepy.
Cheng Hao, where she was leaning against him, also felt very warm. Two people were definitely better than one. Seeing that she was about to fall asleep, he patted her.
Soon, she was coaxed to sleep.
Cheng Kaichun was chatting with Cheng Fengtai about the weather, wanting to talk to Cheng Hao and get closer. But he saw him holding his new wife. When he saw that he wanted to speak, Cheng Hao shook his head at him.
Cheng Kaichun immediately understood and stopped making noise. He strategically moved aside, getting closer to Cheng Fengtai to talk.
He put his hands in his sleeves, hunched his neck, and sniffed. Then he smiled at Cheng Fengtai and said, "Look! This person usually behaves more like an adult than an adult, but in the end, he's still a young man. He just got married, and he cherishes his wife so much. I've never seen anyone dote on his wife like this!"
Cheng Kaichun nudged Cheng Fengtai with his elbow, looking like he was enjoying the show.
Cheng Fengtai was worried about the harsh weather and was annoyed by his disturbance. He looked up at the couple, who were inseparable, and said to him in a low voice, "Aren't they always like this? Why bother with the young couple? You're really bored! And you still have the mood to tease them?"
Didn't he think about what would happen if this weather continued? Could their food last a lifetime? Would firewood grow on its own? What would happen when people from other caravans ran out of supplies and came to their caravan to ask for them?
Cheng Kaichun felt a bit awkward at his words, but thinking that there was no one else to talk to, and he couldn't bear to lose this only person he could talk to, he suppressed his anger and said disdainfully in a low voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you really think you're so capable? The caravan has Uncle Cheng in charge at the top and this child Cheng Hao supporting it at the bottom. It's not your turn to worry about this!"
He was still a little angry, so his words were sarcastic.
Cheng Fengtai couldn't help but get angry, "You! Alas! It's really useless to talk to you!"
How could it have nothing to do with him?
He himself was in the caravan, yet he acted like he was reaping the benefits without doing anything.
Cheng Fengtai felt that he couldn't sit still. He was anxious and praying to heaven to stop the snow quickly, so that they wouldn't really be trapped here. Otherwise, their next meal might be in jeopardy!
But seeing the person he could talk to acting so foolishly.
Cheng Fengtai chose to remain silent.
He was just anxious in his heart.
Cheng Kaichun, on the other hand, felt that he was not wrong. It was his own unnecessary worry!
