Snowing.

There is a rare snowfall in Hopland in the south. Snow is really a novelty in this warm seaside city.

White snowflakes drifted slowly from the sky and landed in the courtyard. The air became colder than before. Some children wore cotton-padded jackets and played happily in the snow, throwing snowballs, and making snowmen. The big ones, this is almost the first time in their lives, so they are also extremely excited.

The large glass windows covered with thin frost separate the cold outdoor from the warm indoors, the fire of the indoor fireplace burns quietly, and the mahogany bronze pendulum clock against the wall makes a ticking sound.

Meilu sat quietly on the small sofa by the fireplace. The armrest on the left was heated by the fire and felt warm. She was covered with a blanket. The blanket was woven with wool and looked a little old. Small hairballs have appeared in some places.

It stands to reason that the eldest lady of the Hollis family and the current owner of the house would not be unable to afford a good blanket, but this one has a special meaning to her.

Although she was behaved when she was a child, there were also times when she was playful. When she was about 8 years old, Hopelander also had a snowfall, which was bigger than this time. She and Feng Nao, as well as some other girls of the same age, were there. Playing in the snow, and trying to pile up various things with snowflakes, such as villains, kittens, puppies and so on.

But because of their inexperience, they always piled up different things, and they were ugly. The boys Edley and Wick laughed at them. Feng Nao couldn't get angry for a while, so he picked up a snowball and smashed it over. But fortunately, the boys and girls on the snow had a snowball fight with each other, throwing snowballs back and forth.

While beating and running, the small animals that had piled up were also trampled on by others. At that time, she was so angry that she was crying and her heart was full of grievances. Feng Nao comforted her, but she still kept going. Later, Feng Na went to find Fenton's brother. Fenton was almost adult at that time, and he was the oldest in their generation, and he was very prestigious.

He quickly found Adley and Wick, who were about 9 years old, and asked them to apologize to himself. Even though Adley was naughty at the time, he did not dare not listen to Fenton’s words, so he was rather reluctant. Apologize to her, and then she stopped crying.

Later, Big Brother Fenton found a few more shovels to shovel the snow on the ground together, which was much faster than their hands, and then asked Edley and other boys to help build the snow. They were a little disdainful at first and didn't want to be with a girl The children played house games together. But piled up and got interested, Wick suggested that everyone build a castle together, which got the approval of many children.

So a dozen children joined hands to build a castle on the snow. Brother Fenton was watching, and sometimes he went to find some tools to help flatten the snowdrift into big squares and gave them some small boards. It is convenient to make the snowdrift into an angular shape, which makes them more interested.

Just like this for a whole day, they didn't even want to eat at noon, they were all thinking about how to build a beautiful castle. More than a dozen children ran around in the snow, constantly gathering the snow in the middle. They first piled up a hill roughly, and then Fenton helped them plan the general shape, such as the wall, the main body of the castle, the high tower, etc., and then one person took charge of a small part and started to take action.

Aidley wanted to build the tallest fortress in the castle, Feng Nai wanted to build a tall tower, Wick wanted to build the main body of the castle, because they had the best family, they were usually the leaders, and the other kids couldn’t make any money. So they can only choose first. Brother Fenton saw that she was not selected, so he ran over with a little curiosity and asked if it was because he was shy that he didn't dare to say.

She actually didn't know what to choose at the time, so she had to say that I would build the city wall with the other children. It was relatively simple. In this way, Feng Nao waited for 5-6 children to build the main body of the castle in the middle, and the other 8-9 children to build the wall on the outside.

It was only in the afternoon that the castle was considered complete. During the period, Brother Fenton watched it several times, and made several revisions before it was finally completed.

The white ice and snow castle, the walls are a bit twisty and uneven, and the main body of the castle in the middle is not very symmetrical. The tall tower is a bit thick and it doesn't look pretty. But it can still be seen as a whole, it is a castle.

Although it was not perfect, everyone was still very happy, and then began to allocate where they would live in the castle in the future.

Aidley was the first to speak. He said he wanted to live in the rotunda in the middle of the castle, because that was where the king lived. Then there was Feng Na, who said that she wanted to live in the tower, just like the princess. Wick took a look and said he lived in the middle of the castle. He wanted to be a general, and then the other children also said what they wanted to do, where to live and who they wanted to be. There were ministers, heroes, queens, and bishops. , There are poets and so on.

Finally, Fenton asked her where she wanted to live. She thought about it and said that she wanted to live with her family. It would be nice if we all stay together happily. After talking about it, Aidley laughed, saying that this wish is too boring, what's there to think about? Seeing that she had a tendency to cry again, Brother Fenton gave Edley a few more words to tell him not to judge other people's dreams, which made her feel a little better.

After playing in the snow for a whole day, she was also weak at that time. After returning, she caught a cold, headache, body heat, and curled up in bed all day long. Her father specially asked the pastor of the church to give herself a treatment every day. Spell, she was a little better, but she was still a little bit sluggish~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Sleeping in bed too much, but a little uncomfortable.

Aunt Lige, the maid chief, saw that she was in a bad mood all day, so she was talking to her beside her bed, and she was not idle, knitting a blanket.

At that time, she lay on the bed and listened to Aunt Lige’s talk about the past, such as scenes of Lige’s life in the mountain village when he was young, wild boars, monsters, foxes in the mountains, and Aunt Lige’s own siblings when she was a child. The stories, what do they play with, etc., these make Mei Lu listen with gusto, and lying on the bed is not so boring.

The cold lasted for a week or two. During this period, Feng Nao also looked for a few times, but because of fear of infecting her, both parents refused to let them meet. They just left some gifts. Not only Feng Nao, but also other children's. Even Edley and Wick asked Feng Nao to bring her a beautiful little dagger.

When the cold is over, the blanket woven by Aunt Lige is also completed, and she will wear it when Mei Lu is cold, and be careful not to catch a cold again in the future.

Time has passed slowly. The blankets that once covered the whole body are now only suitable for draping on the shoulders. The people who knit the blankets are no longer there, and the children who play together also go their separate ways, disappearing in life, and some even again. I won't see it anymore.

The fire burned quietly, and the past time seemed to emerge in flames. Mei Lu was immersed in memories, sometimes smiling and sometimes sad. When the blanket on her shoulders slipped, she woke up inadvertently, pulled the blanket again, and then Fiddle with the firewood in the fireplace to make it burn again.

Mei Lu looked at the orange-red flame, her eyes no longer had the worries and anxiety of the past, and a calm and peaceful fire reflected in them.

Even if the past is no longer and the familiar people go away one by one, she will continue to move forward, just as she dreamed of when she was a child, she would make the Hollis family a warm family again.
