It snowed for an entire night. By the time dawn arrived, the snow had not stopped. Looking out of the window, one could only see that the sky and the earth were silvery white. Nature had used a single color to easily cover the colors of the human world. I could hear the joyful cries of Shallow Shallow and a few other kids coming from the courtyard. It seemed that the little girl had completely recovered. Alright, I won't ridicule Shallow Shallow's recovery ability. Even though she had single-handedly suppressed the Gate of the Abyss, she only needed to sleep for one night to recover fully …
This was the third snowfall of this winter, but I felt that this was the first snowfall. The previous two snowfalls were pitiful. If it wasn't for my respect for the meteorologists, I would be too embarrassed to say that it had actually snowed. Winter always came later in the city, or rather, any season in the city came later than usual. Human activities formed an invisible net that blocked the footsteps of the season. The heating that lingered in the populated areas turned the previous two snowfalls into a muddy rain, making it almost impossible to tell that it was snowing. But last night, a heavy snowfall finally came as a surprise: it was really snowing.
In the morning, when I opened the window and saw that the outside was covered in silver, my mood brightened. I temporarily put the endless troubles that had been troubling me for the past few days to the back of my mind. I greedily took a deep breath of the fresh, cold air. My head shook, and shook again, and shook again …
"Little Lamp, can you stop hitting me?" I grabbed the little doll off my shoulder to stop her from hitting my head. This doll was getting more and more arrogant. She really didn't treat her adoptive father as her real father.
"You're the one." Mercury Lamp waved her arms, trying to push away the big hand that was stuck under her ribs. She didn't like to raise her arms too high. "Why are you opening the window on such a cold day? I want to go back to sleep! "
"Dolls can go back to sleep?" I ruffled the doll's hair, turned around, and stuffed her under the blanket. "Then you continue to sleep. I'll watch Little Bubble build a snowman. The snow in the courtyard is thick."
The little doll kicked off the blanket and shouted, "I can't sleep! I'll go to the courtyard too! "
Before I could say anything, this fellow had already flapped his wings and flew out of the open window. A moment later, I heard even louder shouts coming from outside. I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He didn't even comb his hair or wash his face before rushing out to play in the snow. He's just like an ordinary child.
"Master, I'll clean up the room." Anveena's head suddenly popped up from the bedside table. I was bewildered and pushed her head back. "Can't you learn to come in through the door?"
After a few seconds, Anveena's head poked through the door. "Master, I'll clean up the room. This time, it's through the door. "
Forget it. After all, she was an undead who was used to passing through walls …
Breakfast was already served on the table. It seemed that I was the last one to come down for breakfast today. Of course, Mercury Lamp's puppet was also included. She flew out of the window without eating. Today's breakfast was rich as usual. Youtiao, tofu pudding, fruit salad, sesame seed cake, freshly ground coffee, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and a cup of spicy chocolate soup …
Looking at the strange things in front of me, I felt sad. I lifted my head and asked my sister, "Sis, what did I do wrong? Tell me …"
My sister looked surprised when she saw my breakfast. Then, she explained awkwardly, "Err, Shallow Shallow prepared this for you."
As expected, only that little girl could be so creative. She could combine everything that was edible in her sight. Every single one of them could be considered a human's recipe. But when they were combined, I bet that she wouldn't eat them even if she was beaten to death. After hesitating for a long time, I chose a normal combination of things and finished my breakfast. Then, I called out, "Sandora, help me eat this."
Suddenly, a blue figure flashed in front of me. Out of nowhere, a Sandora beast jumped out and finished everything in front of me. Then, she wiped her mouth and rubbed her face against mine in satisfaction. Then, she gracefully went back to drink her morning tea.
This was something that often happened. Shallow Shallow would make a bunch of ready-made food and combine them into all kinds of strange meals. Then, I would try my best to pick out the edible things and eat them. In the end, the rest would all be given to the 'trash can' at home, which was Sandora beast …
Speaking of which, why did I suddenly feel that Sandora was so pitiful …
"Ah Jun, are you in a good mood today?" My sister could guess my mood with just a glance. Her lips immediately curled up.
"You know, I loved snow when I was young." I chuckled. "Who do I show my bitterness and hatred to every day?"
As I said that, I looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. I didn't know how heavy the snow was yesterday. In any case, it had been snowing for an entire night. Shallow Shallow led a bunch of dolls outside and went crazy playing. Waves of cheers came one after another. In this world, Shallow Shallow was the undisputed leader in the field of 'playing'. After all, most of the time, she came up with ways that ordinary people couldn't handle. For example, putting people into a one-meter radius snowball and throwing it off the roof …
To my surprise, I found Pandora in the snow. She never mingled with the other dolls, but she was concentrating on making ice sculptures. Yes, she was making ice sculptures, not snowmen. It was obvious that she was making something of a high level. Visca helped his sister from the side. These two little girls were occasionally quite harmonious.
"If you like snow, wouldn't it be better for you to bring everyone to Northrend?" His sister smiled warmly. "Then, Shallow Shallow could lead a bunch of Atlanteans to have a snowball fight with the Vrykul people there."
I thought for a while and quickly shook my head. "Bubble would definitely follow them there. Arthas' assets wouldn't be enough for her to plunder again."
His sister chuckled and suddenly lay on my back. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and clasped them together lazily. She let out a sigh of relief. "It's normal for a little brother like this. He is so nervous all the time. It makes me worried."
Just as I was about to say something, Xiaoxue suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in. She was covered in cold air and snowflakes were all over her head. "Dad! Dad! Come and play with us. Why, what are you two doing? "
Damn, this naughty child. Xiaoxue must have inherited her troublemaking skills from her mother. I walked forward and patted away the snow on Xiaoxue's body. I pinched the little girl's cheeks. I wasn't sure if it was because of the cold weather or because she was excited. (It should be the latter. A creature that could survive in space wouldn't freeze in this kind of environment.) It really felt like a father who was working hard to take care of his lively and interesting daughter. Xiaoxue giggled as she put her hands under my clothes. She moved closer to me and said, "Dad, are you finally going to find me a fourth mother?" I knocked on her head angrily. "You naughty child, what are you talking about?!"
"Pfft. It's just an Oedipus complex. It's just that you love your sister … Daddy, I was wrong! Don't pinch my face! Don't pinch my ears! Don't … Oh, you don't know these two tricks yet. Oh yeah, Dad, come and see the snowman that Mom and I made! It's big! "
Xiaoxue hurriedly pulled me out of the room, leaving behind her sister, who had a troubled expression. Along the way, I was wondering why this girl was so messy. However, when we arrived at the courtyard, I didn't have any mood to complain.
There were a lot of snowmen in the courtyard. Xiaoxue came up with the idea to organize a snowman competition. She wanted me to be the judge.
The first snowman was very standard. It even looked a little clumsy. It was the kind of snowman that was piled up by two big snowballs to form a head and body. It used sticks and bricks as its limbs. I'm sure everyone is familiar with it. The snowman probably represented the lowest level of his family of naughty children and immature children. It was incredible that they could create such a mundane thing. After asking, I found out that this ordinary snowman was the product of Little Bubble. That child didn't really understand what a snowman was, but she asked her mother. Under the guidance of Bubble, she decided to do it according to the books: with the precision of a Schilling machine. The child copied the snowman according to the image of the snowman she saw in a picture book. It was an exact copy. She scanned the picture book and then created a "simple" snowman with a scale error of no more than one in six million, which is the snowman in front of me.
I was wrong. The naughty children and older children in my family couldn't even be related to ordinary. Little Bubble was the hidden technological otaku!
Compared to the first snowman that looked simple and unadorned, the second work was enough to be described as breathtaking. It was not a snowman, but an exquisite snow sculpture! It was the image of a little girl. It was less than a meter tall, but it had lifelike limbs, body, and facial features. I could even see her hairstyle! I think this thing is enough to be a work of art.
"Oh my god, who built this tough snowman?" I touched the head of the little snowman in surprise. I was afraid that I would ruin this masterpiece. "It looks like a real person."
"Liliana," Xiaoxue said casually.
"Heh, this girl is really talented," I praised. "Where is she? I have to praise her. "
As soon as I said that, I heard Liliana's muffled voice coming from the snowman next to me. "I … I'm here … Boss, this snowman … is creative … Creativity is the key. Cough, cough. Boss, hurry up and give me a rating. I can't take it anymore … Wow, the snow melted … and flowed into my neck! Boss, this snowman is very creative … Wow! My clothes are all wet! Wah wah wah … "
The little snowman suddenly broke into pieces. Liliana jumped out of it. Her body was covered in half-melted snowflakes. She jumped on the spot and said, "It's so cold, so cold … Someone help me! Wow, my clothes are all wet inside! " Then, she jumped onto my body and burrowed into my clothes. "Boss, lend me your warmth … Phew … I'm revived …"
Only then did I react. The corner of my mouth twitched. My first thought was to throw this girl out. However, I suddenly thought of something else. I just pressed down on my coat and let Liliana hang on my body. Then, I looked at the snowmen that the others had made. I realized that each of them was more creative than the other. Xiaoxue made a transformer and asked Eleanor to strengthen the snow. Hence, it could really transform. However, it still fell apart when it was transforming. Shallow shallow made a snowman that floated in the air. She named it the Flying Dutchman. It was such a waste to use Time Freeze on something like this. The most creative one was probably Mercury Lamp. She used snow to make two conjoined Chinese characters that were more than a meter tall. They said, "Snowman." These two characters were erected on the ground. This girl didn't know how to make a snowman at all. So, she decided to show off the Chinese characters that she had just learned to write. In the end, I felt that the award should be given to Little Bubble. Although her work was the crudest, the other strange creations were really not related to snowmen …
Pandora and Visca's ice sculpture project was nearing its end. As I expected, they were making a model of a battleship. It was an Eternal-class mothership with exquisite proportions. Every building and anti-aircraft battery had been carefully made. Pandora looked serious as she added an antenna to the spaceship, while Visca helped his sister polish the base of the spaceship model. The two little girls were so engrossed that they didn't even notice me approaching. They really looked like two ordinary little girls who were obsessed with their toys. Eleanor was also helping the two sisters. In this weather, the role of an ice fairy was on full display. She was in charge of providing ice to everyone in the courtyard who needed it. She was very busy.
I saw Lin playing chess with Lin Xue under the big tree in the middle of the courtyard. I didn't know how they got together. In this cold and snowy weather, sitting in the snow and playing checkers, this world is really colorful.
"I remembered reading a few ancient texts in the past." Lin Xue threw away the chess piece and explained to me, "It said that the literati would travel together in the cold winter. They would light a small stove in a dry pavilion and play chess in a circle. It just so happens that I have nothing to do now, so I simulated it."
I glanced at the checkers board in front of them and the corner of my eyes twitched. "What's the result of the simulation?"
"The ancient people are talking nonsense." Lin Xue extended her hand into my clothes to warm it up. "How can they play chess when they are so cold? I don't believe that the laws of physics in ancient times are different from now. They would dare to play chess with a stove in a dry pavilion? That ancient text was most likely written by a rich second generation who didn't have a real life. He holed himself up in his room and fantasized about life. In the end, he wrote an anti-science fantasy. It has been passed down for more than a thousand years and has become a classic. The person who wrote the teaching material definitely didn't use his brain, or he didn't experience the difficulty of catching chess pieces at minus twelve degrees Celsius … "
I glanced at the Dragon God girl who was cleaning up the chessboard. "How do you feel about the snow?"
"It's not as snowy as back home," Lin said honestly. "The snowy scenery in the Frozen Continent is more spectacular. You didn't stay in the Frozen Continent for long last time. If there's a chance next time, I'll bring you to the place where I lived when I was young. There's a crystallized forest there. Everything in the world is formed from ice that hasn't melted for hundreds of millions of years. It's beautiful."
I really shouldn't have talked to Lin about the snowy scenery. The Dragon God race lived in the Frozen Continent. The scenery of thousands of miles of snow had never stopped for hundreds of billions of years! That was what they called a real life. It was said that the Dragon God's homeland was enveloped by the power of ice. The fishes there had to dig holes in the ice to move forward …
I looked up and saw a rather strange scene. The trees in the courtyard were evergreen all year round under the divine power of life. However, they were still covered in a thick layer of snow. Only the inside of the trees was green. The two polar opposite seasons of winter and summer were tangled together. The two ravens were at a loss as to what to do in such a twisted landscape.
This was a lush and green courtyard at minus twelve degrees Celsius. Every plant in the courtyard was getting weirder and weirder. Under the thick layer of snow under our feet, a lush green lawn was growing. I suddenly thought of Jingle, and then another thing. So, I dug in my pocket and pulled out the little goddess. Jingle was holding a walnut with a frown. She immediately raised the walnut to me and said, "Ah Jun! Jingle wants to eat this! How can I eat this!? "
I saw that a thin layer of the walnut shell had been bitten off by Jingle. Her face was covered in brown crumbs. I was stunned and asked, "You don't know how to eat walnuts?"
"Jingle has never eaten it before!" She said confidently. "But some believers used it as a tribute. So, it should be something delicious. But Jingle doesn't think it's good. It tastes bad …"
Gosh, it had been almost four years since I came to Earth and I had never even seen a walnut. What was with this strong sense of sadness?
I casually helped Dingdang open the walnut and poked the little fellow's head, "Let me ask you something. Where did you plant that leaf?"
If I didn't remind Jingle, she would have forgotten about it. She didn't have any leaves on her head anymore. There were only two small and cute green horns in her original place. They were just like another pair of ears. It was said that she would only grow new leaves after a few hundred years. Of the two leaves that she had shed, one was given to Liliana and the other was planted in the courtyard. It was only in the first few days that Dingdang was interested in personally watering and fertilizing the leaves. She even urged Lina not to forget to check on the condition of the leaves, but recently, the little thing seemed to have completely forgotten about it. Not to mention watering her own leaves, she probably even forgot that they had leaves before!
"Eh … That …"
Jingle suddenly stuttered. Then, she flew around the tree and said, "Wait, Jingle planted it next to this tree … Jingle took good care of the leaves. But Father said that the leaves didn't need to be taken care of after they were planted and it would take a thousand years for them to grow. So, Jingle neglected it … Eh, that's strange. Why isn't it here … Jingle remembered that it was near here …" I was just asking casually. I saw that the trees in the courtyard were still lush, so I thought of Jingle. Then, I remembered that she had planted something incredible in the courtyard. I never expected that Jingle really couldn't find that thing!
Xiao Budian flew back and forth in the air while shouting, "Ye! Leaves! Where are you! Jingle is looking for you! "
After calling for a long time, she landed on my shoulder in frustration. "It's gone … If Leaves and Jingle were close enough, they would have sensed each other. But now, they can't even sense each other anymore …"
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat in this cold winter. That thing can't be lost!
At this time, Anveena suddenly rushed over with an anxious face.
"Master, have you seen Medivh?"
