    The next day, because he had to go out to collect firewood, Dalang said to Ping'er: "Today you are taking your brothers and taking care of your uncle. Is that okay?"

    "Of course. Brother, don't worry." Ping'er straightened her thin chest and said without hesitation.

    "Hey, be careful. Don't be greedy for more, chop less. When I'm ready, I'll chop." Jiang Dashan said uneasily.

    "I know, chopping firewood is what we are used to doing, so we'll be fine." Dalang said, and he and Xin Hu led the horse out of the house.

    Naturally, Aunt Liu had made preparations early. After the three of them met, they immediately got on their horses and headed to the lake. They had no intention of running far this time, so they just cut some reeds nearby.  The last time I rescued Jiang Dashan, I was still able to escape unharmed, which was considered lucky.  If they hadn't first occupied a favorable terrain and launched a surprise attack, they might have been the ones who died there.  So this time, they didn't dare to run that far again.

    Because there had been another heavy snowfall, the reed field was now even more frozen and the snow was deeper and sunnier.  Everyone walked slowly deeper along the previously cut open space.  There will be many sharp reed stakes in the cut reed field, which can hurt your feet if you are not careful.  So they brought a few wooden boards and walked slowly under their feet.

    Fortunately, it snowed heavily again. The thick snow covered the reed piles left in front of them, making it impossible to step on them.  Aunt Liu tentatively walked a few feet away without stepping on a reed pile, and then she said with confidence, "Okay, come here."

    Dalang and Xin Hu then took their horses and walked deeper.  The three of them spread out as usual, struggling to cut the reeds in the reeds that were half covered by the snow.  This time, it was much more difficult to do this job than before, because the snow had accumulated a lot deeper. Originally, the reeds were only covered by the snow for about one foot in length, but now they are almost a foot deep.

    When cutting reeds at this time, not only the speed has slowed down, but the cut reeds are also shorter than before. The amount of labor has increased but the harvest has decreased.  Therefore, after working for most of the day, the three of them were too tired to do it anymore.

    Aunt Liu said regretfully: "If I had known this, I should have kept cutting more reeds and put them at home a few days ago."

    "It's just a bit more tiring for Zuo. Let's take a day off and let's do it again." Dalang advised.

    Xinhu threw down the sickle, too tired to say anything.  After not doing any physical work for more than half a month, she felt like she couldn't even lift her arms.

    Aunt Liu complained, but her men did not stop and tied up the cut reeds, including those cut by Xinhu and Dalang.  Although they are strong, they have short arms and legs, so they are still not as good at work as adults.  For example, Aunt Liu was obviously better than them at the binding job.  Aunt Liu hugged and tied her up by herself, and it was easier to reconcile than the two of them working together.

    Seeing how hard they were working, Aunt Liu said with a smile: "Okay, you two have a rest first, and I will do the work. After tying them up, we will go home."

    Xin Hu sat down on the ice, but by accident, his butt happened to sit on an old wooden board they had used as a pad, and he actually slipped forward.  In a moment of fun, she picked up the board, randomly broke off a few branches, and peeled off the skin to use as rope.  The bark of this tree is very smooth and tough. She used the bark to tie herself to the wooden board and fixed it. She also used two thick reed poles as sliding poles and slid them to both sides like a rowing boat. Unexpectedly, this  The move was really hard.  She slid faster and faster, slid farther and farther, and suddenly rushed forward.

    The reeds stretch as far as the eye can see, and I don¡¯t know how big they are, let alone where the end or the source of the lake is.  The slide in Xinhu became more and more enjoyable, and I ran away without realizing it. Finally, I slid to the open space with a chirp. The open space here is actually a lake.  But compared to the side where they used water, the water surface was wider and shallower, and it was actually frozen solid.  At a glance, it looks like a large piece of flat land.

    "Be careful, come back soon." Dalang saw that she was having fun and didn't pay attention at first. He yelled when he saw her rushing into the lake.

    Xinhu didn¡¯t care at first, but when he found himself on the wide ice, he finally became scared.  If you fall in this kind of weather, you will definitely freeze to death.  But the more she wanted to come back, the less she could do it, and the further she moved forward.  There was nothing on the broad ice in front of her. Everything looked the same at a glance. She couldn't tell which was the lake and which was the land. She couldn't find a reference point even if she tried to find one. However, the ice surface was very smooth.  But she couldn't control her speed, and it got faster and faster, making her sweat profusely.

    Seeing her figure getting smaller and smaller, Dalang and Aunt Liu were also anxious now, but there was nothing they could do. They could only keep shouting from behind: "Come back quickly, stop playing. It's dangerous."

    &nbAt that time, everyone lived a very quiet life, but they were also relatively poor.  However, everyone's food is not bad. After all, fish farming relies on lakes and rivers, and there are abundant aquatic products. Every household can get a variety of fish and shrimps for cooking, or lotus roots, water chestnuts, etc. to enrich their meals.  One day, a road was built along the river, and the quiet days of the village were gone.  And life has become busy.

    ¡°Little baby, what are you thinking about?¡± The woman interrupted Xin Hu¡¯s memories.

    "I'm thinking about how to go back?" Xin Hu said.  She looked up to where she had fallen.

    Now that they were standing below, she estimated that the height must be at least ten meters, which was a little higher than the height where she rescued her uncle last time.  And looking up, nothing could be seen except the tops of some wormwood and reeds.  Thinking about it now, there should be a dike above, but this dike is currently covered with ice and snow.

    But behind her, there were still reeds. The reeds were taller than her, blocking her sight so much that she couldn't see far at all.  As far as she could see, it was still all reeds, except for the path that the two people in front of her probably walked on. They walked through the reeds, leaving a clear path.

    "Is your village close to here? Your family and friends should come to find you." The man's voice was as light as water, but it miraculously calmed her down.

    Xin Hu, who had returned to his senses, began to think about how to answer their questions.  After all, their village is really not too far away from here.  And Dalang and Aunt Liu will definitely look for her.  Although these two people saved her, she didn't know what they did?  Now he kept asking about their village, which made her a little scared.

    "Little baby, don't be afraid. We are not bad people, we are just lost here. Can you take us into the village? In this weather, there is snow all around, and we can't go. Depending on your own ability, you can't get there even if you are afraid.  Go ahead." The man said again.

    Hearing such words, Xin Hu became more and more at a loss what to say. He said that he should take them in. He couldn't make the decision. Moreover, these two people obviously had martial arts, maybe even better than his uncle.  If they came to kill my uncle, wouldn't it be troublesome?  But she was saved and her attitude was very kind.  Apart from their village, there may not be any other villages nearby here.  It seems unreasonable not to take her in.

    Xin Hu¡¯s entangled look made the two adults couldn¡¯t help laughing and asked: ¡°Is there anything difficult?¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
