    She waited like this until the fire was almost extinguished and the bone-chilling cold was much lessened. Then she endured the severe cold, held the last torch to keep warm, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.  When she reached the entrance of the cave, she looked out and saw that the whole world had become a world of silver-white ice. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it emitted a dazzling light that made her almost unable to open her eyes. Everything was silent and there was no sound.  It was as if we had arrived in a dead and silent world.  She looked down and found that the ice surface below was about ten feet high. It turned out that the entrance of the cave was on the side of the cliff, with an exit hanging in mid-air.  She was very excited and felt the joy of surviving a disaster. If it weren't for the bone-chilling cold, she would have almost screamed loudly. Her teeth chattered and she turned around and groped her way back into the cave.  After hearing what she said, Uncle Shang was so happy that he almost forgot the pain of his broken leg.  The family's daughter-in-law said she wanted to go out immediately. She was very worried about her children.  Uncle Shang had experience after all, and said that it was dark outside now, and if he went out, he would not be able to return to the city. It was too cold, and he would probably freeze to death.  So the wealthy daughter-in-law had no choice but to obey her father's decision, endure the worries in her heart, and wait all night in the cave with her husband's body.  The next day, the family¡¯s daughter-in-law did not take care of her husband¡¯s body anymore because he was frozen in the icicles and there was no way to take him out. Besides, even if he was taken out, she had to take care of her father and she would not be able to carry the body.  I can¡¯t ask for any more firewood, I don¡¯t have the strength to carry it.  I could only carry my father on my back and fumble through the cave to the entrance.  The sun is hanging in the sky, but there is still no temperature at all, and it is bone-chilling cold.  But it's better than before.  At least it's bearable.  Uncle Shang said: "There is still some distance to the city from here. You are too thin to carry me back. I saw that the ground outside is all frozen. Otherwise, you can tie up firewood into a sled and pull me along."  It might be better to go down the mountain." The wife of the family nodded and turned back, carrying a bundle of firewood.  Use the two largest pieces of firewood as support below, tie the firewood horizontally on top, and then use the ropes to tie the firewood to form a sled. First hook the sled and lower it, then tie the father with the rope and lower it into the cave.  .  Finally, she tied the rope to a big rock at the entrance of the cave and slowly fell down.  The wife of the wealthy family looked up. Suddenly, she held her head in fear and screamed wildly, squatting on the ground.  Uncle Shang was shocked.  He quickly looked up and saw a large piece of ice hanging upside down in the air.  Not far above their heads, a man was frozen to death in an icicle. His mouth was open as if he was calling for help, and his hands were open as if he was looking for something to grab. He was frozen in the icicle, although it was blurry.  However, from the clothes and body shape, we can still roughly tell that it is Aunt Li who followed Luo Jiacai to carry firewood.  No wonder the wealthy daughter-in-law screamed like crazy. First she saw her husband freezing to death in front of her alive, and now she saw her husband's cousin also freezing to death.  Such stimulation drove her to the edge of madness.  Uncle Shang sighed, knowing that at this time she had to persuade her daughter that she would have to wait and wait for her to slowly get better.  After another long time, the family's wife slowly calmed down and did not dare to look at the body anymore. She collected the rope from the cave and tied it to the sled. Then she let her father lie on it and pulled her away.  This method really works and saves a lot of effort, because all the snow on the hillside has turned into smooth and solid ice, and it¡¯s all downhill, so it doesn¡¯t take much effort.  However, because the ice surface is too slippery, not only is it difficult to walk, but you will slip into a deep valley if you are not careful.  Therefore, the wealthy daughter-in-law carefully avoided places where danger might occur, and slowly dragged her father down to the foot of the mountain.  When we arrived at the post road, the medical road was still covered with hard ice, so it didn¡¯t take much effort to drag on flat ground.  She couldn't walk very far and saw the gate tower of the county town. At this moment, she saw several weird ice sculptures on the roadside. When she got closer, she realized that they were people, frozen to death.  She looked like this, just like her husband and cousin.  As I walked forward, I saw several more people, frozen on the road in different postures, some running, some half-kneeling, and some prostrate.  There were both men and women. Judging from their clothes, some were victims of the disaster, and some seemed to be residents of the city. It seemed that some residents in the city had also eaten all their food in the more than ten days of heavy snow.  I also wanted to find something to eat, but I didn't expect to encounter such a terrible disaster.  Going further, we finally arrived at the gate of the city. We finally saw a living person. They were soldiers at the gate. They were all huddled together, their swords and guns placed on the wall. When they saw the wealthy wife dragging a man over, she just looked at him.  After a while, he didn't come over to check it carefully.  After entering the city, the wealthy wife was dumbfounded. She saw ice everywhere on the streets.?Generally, there are dead people in various postures. Some have been carried home by their living relatives, while others have no one to collect the bodies, and it is not known whether the whole family is dead.  The streets were full of cries, all for those relatives who had died.  She dragged the sled to the rice merchant Hu Wanghai's house in a hurry. What she was most worried about now was the hope of the whole family. Her eldest daughter, Luocao, was the only source of food for the family to survive.  If she had any shortcomings, the whole family would not be able to survive.  When she reached the gate, she put down the rope, ran up the steps, and knocked on the door.  Soon, the door opened, and the concierge poked his head out. When he saw it was her, he naturally recognized her, because her daughter worked as a maid for her father and his wife in the house.  Then he asked kindly: "Sister-in-law, is something wrong?" "I, how is my daughter? She, is she still alive?" "She is alive, she is still alive. She happened to be holding the young master.  She was warming up by the fire, so it¡¯s okay. She went out before, but she¡¯s back. Do you want to call her?¡± The wife of the family was overjoyed and said quickly: ¡°Okay, okay, thank you. Please call her out for a while.¡±  Just leave." "Okay, wait a moment!" The concierge closed the door. After a while, the courtyard door opened again. Her daughter, Luocao, saw her mother, and she rushed over and hugged her tightly.  Cry loudly.  "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" "Grandma and brother are dead!" The wife's heart suddenly became cold: "How did they die?" "My brother said that grandma and the others went to beg for food, and it suddenly became cold.  It was so bad that grandma took off her jacket and wrapped it around the third brother, stuffed him into a dog hole, then hugged the second brother and blocked the hole with their bodies. Later, the third brother pushed grandma away and came out.  I found that my grandma was freezing to death while holding my second brother" "Where is the third brother?" "In the Chenghuang Temple, the master is not allowed to bring our family here, so I dare not bring him here.  The remaining dogs and calves were together. " "Are they still alive? " "Yes! They went out to cut firewood and came back early. They didn't sell the firewood because it was too cold, so they made a fire to keep warm. It happened to be cold.  They burned all the firewood and survived. Many people in the village also relied on this fire to survive. "Where are the corpses of Grandma and others?" "No one collected the straw."  Only then did she realize that someone seemed to be missing. She looked behind her mother and saw her grandfather huddled on a sled made of firewood on the street, with a wooden stick tied to his leg to fix the fracture. She had seen her father's leg broken before.  When the time came, I couldn't help being shocked. I let go of my mother and ran down, hugging my grandfather and crying.  Uncle Shang forced a smile and said, "Don't cry. Grandpa is fine. You are fine too, that's good!" Luocao thought of his father and quickly stood up and looked around the streets, but he didn't see his father.  Uncle Shang knew that she was looking for Luo Jiacai and sighed: "Alas! Your father has frozen to death on the mountain, and your cousin is also dead." Luocao's tears rolled down her face.  Jiachai's wife came down, picked up the rope, and said, "As long as you're okay, let's go. I'm going to find Mr. Gu to show your grandpa's leg. Her leg is injured." Luocao cried and said, "Mr. Gu is going out.  I went to see him with my brother in my arms. The concierge of the escort agency said that he had gone out two days ago. "Jia Cai's wife looked disappointed: "I don't know. The escort agency refused to tell him. He must have left the city.  ¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª At this moment, Gu Yezhou was warming himself by the fire in the courtyard.  The center of the extreme cold was right here with them. Fortunately, with the help of Zi Xi and four followers, they successfully escaped into the fire house and escaped the disaster.  However, Master Fan's son and Wu Kuntie, the bodyguard of the escort agency, were both frozen to death.  They waited in the house for a long time, and finally heard the terrifying clicking sound outside completely disappeared. The temperature of the fire in the house gradually increased, and the white ice on the cracks in the door and windows gradually melted.  Gu Yezhou then boldly walked to the door tentatively, wanting to open the door and look outside, but the door was tightly frozen.  Zixi raised his hand, and shot out a small sleeve arrow. With a bang, it penetrated the wooden door, leaving a small hole. ?? Gu Yezhou smiled in admiration at her, put his face against the hole and looked out, only to see that the entire world had turned into silver-white ice peaks, and there was no sign of life.  There are no longer those mysterious little icicles falling down from the sky.  Gu Yezhou felt the temperature outside. It was not particularly low, although it was still cold.It was painful to the bones, but it was still bearable.  He grabbed the two wooden doors and pulled hard, and the wooden doors opened with a sound.  A burst of biting cold hit his face, startling Gu Yezhou, but fortunately it was no longer the deadly cold that was sparkling and mixed with small icicles.  Gu Yezhou shuddered and looked back.  Seeing that nothing was wrong, the others walked to the door and looked out cautiously.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
