He glanced at the old man, his eyes were soft, and then he said: "That day, I followed the street kiosk official to get the wood for the fire. I walked for a long time, and finally reached the most open place in the east of the city. Grandpa, guess what I saw?"
The corners of Nannan's mouth and eyebrows were also curved, and she cooperated very well: "Brother, I can't guess."
The old man's cloudy eyes looked at the two children, his eyes were full of love, he also shook his head and said: "Da grandson, I can't guess."
Dasun's face was full of amazement suddenly, and he said: "There are many people who go with us to get the timber, so we won't get lost in the street when we walk together. What should be done."
"We saw a lot of really, really huge giants!"
Just listening to his grandson's narration, the grandfather showed a look of surprise on his face.
"They were so huge, I looked up, and I could only see their arms and stomachs, and I could only see them holding four bundles of timber ten times larger than the house, and they crossed the city wall in one step! "
Nannan gestured with her hand, and said in a childish voice: "Is the giant taller than father and mother?"
The eldest grandson and the old man looked at each other, with a trace of pain in their eyes.
The old man's son, the father of two children, died three years ago in a dark and silent place, and the cause of death was extremely ordinary.
That year, the mother of the two children was seriously ill, and it seemed that she would not be able to survive.
Their father gave all his share of food to the mother, asking her to support her for a while, and went out by himself, intending to go to the Pharmacist's Mansion in the dark to ask the Master Pharmacists to come and have a look.
As a result, his luck was very bad. When he was walking in the dark, he slipped on a rock that came from nowhere, and the back of his head fell heavily on the solid ice on the ground.
Later, I heard from the adults on duty in Taicheng Mansion that their father did not fall to his death. He fell to the ground, lost strength all over his body, and his consciousness was blurred, but because of lack of food, he had no strength to get up all over his body.
Their father froze to death like this.
Later, the mother couldn't make it through, and took the unborn younger brother or sister with them to follow their father.
This happened three years ago, when my daughter was still babbling.
After a few years, my daughter grew up and always asked about her parents.
The old man and the eldest grandson, who could barely remember that incident, lied to the daughter that because their parents were strong and strong, they were recruited by the royal court to serve Taicang, Wangting, and the people of Taicang. Nei will not come back.
So in the eyes of her daughter, her parents became the most stalwart people.
So when the eldest grandson heard the innocent words of the daughter, he said softly: "The bodies of these giants are as big as the bodies of father and mother."
Nannan looked happier, with a hint of joy on her face flushed from the cold.
Da Sun continued: "Those giants are really huge. Many villagers still think that the gods have descended. I didn't expect that the person who distributed the wood to us said that those giants are the subordinates of the king, and they will contribute to the sky in the future!"
The excitement on the old man's face became more intense, and there was a hint of pride in his cloudy eyes, and a smile appeared on his haggard face, and his voice suddenly became louder:
"I knew that Lord Ji Xia was a god descended from the earth. How huge is a giant who can step over the city wall with one foot? How can he obey mortals? Only Lord Ji Xia can order them! Because the Lord is the embodiment of Dafeng's will, a living god! "
The old man seemed to have obtained conclusive evidence, and when the eldest grandson beside him mentioned the word "lord of the country", his face also had a very obvious look of admiration.
He also thinks that way, all the people of Tai Cang who saw the giant think that Ji Xia is the god of the human race who came down to earth, maybe it is a certain human ancestor in the court of heaven, who couldn't bear the hardship of the Tai Cang people, so he came down in person!
The old man looked at the rice vat at home, and he could see the rice in it from such a distance.
He has lived 87 years, and he has never experienced the situation of the rice vat overflowing. What is the ability of Lord Ji Xia if it is not a god descending to the earth?
"Grandpa, do you think it's cold this year?"
Dasun felt that the weather was getting colder, much colder than in previous years.
It's only the end of the first month, and the vigorous stove is no longer able to play a role.
The old man's excited and joyful expression cooled down slightly, he nodded and sighed secretly.
He thought of a day 40 years ago, it seemed so cold.
That year, Tai Cang froze many people to death.
The bodies of many people were frozen, and after the death of the sun, they came to life.
So this has also become his nightmare. He even feels that freezing to death is more terrifying than starving to death.
"Grandpa, are we going to freeze to death?"
Nannan seemed to know the meaning of "death". She tilted her head and looked at the old man with her big eyes.
The old man suddenly didn't know what to say. If there was something different from the past, when the harsh winter came, more people would die, and it would be the weak and the children and the elderly. There is no doubt about it.
When he thought of this, his already old heart was covered with a layer of haze.
But what can be done?
The sun sinking, the snow falling in the sky, the biting wind, and the biting cold cannot be controlled.
Tai Cang's Lord Ji Xia, Ming Jun, who hasn't existed in 200 years, has found enough firewood for them, and provided them with enough food to sustain them to death.
The rest of the obstacles, even Lord Ji Xia, can't solve them, right?
"Bang, bang, bang."
Suddenly there was another knock on the door, who would come to visit them in the silence of the day?
The old man signaled his eldest grandson and his daughter to sit by the fire, and when he left the house, the biting cold hit his skin, which made his skin ache.
"Huh? Is there light?"
The old man suddenly saw a ray of light shining out from the courtyard wall, it was very bright, and the huge grass oil lamp hanging in front of the gate of Taicheng Mansion was much weaker than this level of light.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was another knock on the door, and the old man came back to his senses, and went to open the door cautiously.
No matter how diligently you take care of the falling snow in the courtyard, when the heavy snow comes and the temperature drops suddenly, it only takes a few hours for the courtyard to freeze.
If he fell on this kind of ice, he might have to go to the Court of Heaven to meet his son.
The old man opened the courtyard door tremblingly, and the dazzling light from the door invaded the courtyard from the door, making the eyes of the old man who had not seen the light for a long time blank and very uncomfortable.
It was a long time before he regained his vision.
He saw two girls in their early twenties and a sergeant of the Cangshou Army in plate armor standing in front of the door. One of the girls laughed softly: "Grandpa, we are ordered by the royal court to come to warm you up." Stone and Akashi."
The old man was taken aback, not quite sure what Nuanshi and Akashi were.
Chapter 1 Seventy Divine Power?
The old man welcomed the two girls and the sergeant of the Cangshou Army into the room.
