章 132: Chapter 132 Snowball Fight and Snowstorm
Chapter 132 Snowball Fight and Snowstorm
The snow fell all day and night, turning Shanlin Town into a world covered in silver.
Roning reached the top of the tower and looked into the distance. The mountains were also covered with thick snow as if covered with a white carpet.
"That's how the awkward situation of being stuck in the mountains came about."
Heavy snow blocked the mountain, making it extremely difficult for people living here to go out on snowy days.
First of all, the mountain road is rugged, and the road conditions are unclear after being covered with heavy snow. Ordinary horses certainly cannot be ridden. Only Roning's Cloud-Stepping Horse can try, but the speed will definitely be very slow.
If there is a shortage of food and clothing and heavy snow continues, this winter will be very difficult.
Fortunately, the sun has risen. The snow on the road will melt in a few days and not delay his journey to Wushan Fort.
"Wow, it's so beautiful~."
Irene stood on the tower and looked out, unable to help but exclaim in amazement.
"When I was in Ziguo Village before, I never had the chance to climb up to see the snow scene. I didn't expect it to look like this."
The castle was built on a hill, and the tower is a certain height, so one can naturally stand high and see far.
Roning smiled at Irene. At this time, she was wearing a sheepskin coat with a hood and gloves on her hands, wrapping herself quite tightly.
After all, the magician's body does not seem as strong as the knight's.
Luo Ning suddenly had a wicked smile on his face. He squatted down, rolled up a small snowball, and hid it with his hands behind his back.
"Irene, I have a gift for you."
"ah?"
Looking at the snowy scene, Irene turned around in astonishment, somewhat surprised yet delighted, "What gift is my brother going to give me?"
Luo Ning smiled warmly and said, "Come, close your eyes. I'll let you watch it again and again. It will definitely be an unexpected surprise for you."
"good!"
The naive Irene closed her eyes, thinking of the plot in the knight novel -
The hero wants to give the heroine a bouquet and express his love. Could it be that...
When she thought of this, Irene's breathing became rapid, and her face turned red.
But at this moment, she only felt a hand quickly pulling open her clothes, and then she felt the coldness that made her shiver.
"ah!"
She couldn't help but scream and subconsciously opened her eyes, only to see Luo Ning laughing.
Only then did she realize that the mysterious gift the lord brother mentioned was a snowball.
She thought they were flowers and started crying out of grievance.
"My brother bullied me!"
Well...
Luo Ning was stunned. How could a child be so playful? Why was he crying?
"Okay, okay, stop crying. It won't look good if you keep crying."
Roning hurried forward to comfort her, but unexpectedly, Irene stopped crying, grabbed a handful of snowflakes from the ground at lightning speed, jumped up, and stuffed them into his collar when Roning was not paying attention.
Suddenly, Irene's lively and lovely laughter was heard.
"Well, you're not being honest!"
Luo Ning laughed and scolded, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
He bent down and made a large snowball this time.
Irene laughed, picked up two snowballs, and threw them over, running as she threw.
With Roning's speed, he could capture the opponent instantly and give him a good baptism of ice and snow, but after being a lord for so long, he also wanted to have some fun.
So, a snowball fight began.
I was still a little chilly at first, but after running for a while, the chill disappeared. Even though my hands were rubbing snowballs together and they were red, I didn't feel cold.
"I don't want to play anymore..."
Irene was the first one to give up. She had no idea how many snowballs had hit her, and her hair and clothes were all wet.
"Sure, Irene. It hit me several times."
Luo Ning walked over with a smile and cleared the snow off the man's head. "Okay, go back and take a hot bath. Don't catch a cold."
"Um!"
Irene was very happy today. She nodded heavily, hugged Roning's arm, and was about to walk back.
Roning caught a glimpse of a black figure walking towards the castle, and with his sharp eyes, he immediately recognized it as Wilson.
"What's the PC doing here?"
Luo Ning was a little confused, "Erin, go back first; I'll see what Wilson wants to do."
Irene also noticed the person coming and realized her brother would be busy again, so she nodded obediently.
Below the castle, Ronin met Wilson.
"Sir, Chief Haen of Jingye Village reported that a farmer's house in their village collapsed under the weight of the snow."
Luo Ning frowned, "What's going on? Didn't we ask the village chief to lead a thorough inspection? How could such a problem still occur?"
Wilson replied: "I asked Hahn. He went to Qingzhu Village with me a while ago and handed the matter to the team leader. But I didn't expect that the team leader in charge of this area did not check every household to save trouble."
Luo Ning paused momentarily, then asked with a serious face: "Are there any casualties?"
"No, that family just has no place to live."
"Come on, take me to see it!"
Soon, Roning arrives at the scene under Wilson's guidance.
The collapsed house was very eye-catching. Wilson's five assistants, including the village chief, team leader of Jingye Village, and four homeless people, stood outside the house.
"Lord, save us~Save us~."
When the four people who had lost their homes saw Roning coming, they rushed to ask for help. Without a place to live, they might not have survived the winter.
Luo Ning reached out and helped them up, comforting them: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to help you repair it."
He looked at the village chief, Hahn, and said, "Your village is responsible for the people in your village! As the village chief, you must provide them with a proper living place. If that doesn't work, give them a room in your house!"
Ronin did not let these disaster-stricken people live in the castle, not because he was unwilling, but because doing so would likely cause trouble.
If more people were affected later, he would not be able to bring everyone back to the castle.
Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that no one would take advantage of the loopholes.
"Yes, yes, sir, I will arrange for someone to do it immediately." Hahn was extremely nervous now. He felt the lord's anger.
"Wait a minute!"
Luo Ning said: "The team leader in charge of this matter should stop doing this job in the future. I will stay as the village chief to check on you for the time being. If something like this happens again, you should also stop doing this job!"
Hahn's heart was in his throat. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, and he felt bitter about being implicated, he did not dare to disobey the lord's arrangement.
After making arrangements for the disaster-stricken people, Roning took Wilson to visit nearby villages and buildings to see if there were other disaster victims.
Fortunately, there were no other deteriorating conditions.
"In the future, you will handle such matters and report to me after you are done."
As Luo Ning was returning, he said, "People like this who take subsidies but do nothing should be dismissed. There is no need to keep them."
"I understand!" Wilson followed anxiously.
He felt that the lord was in a very bad mood today. If a disaster occurred, he would likely be implicated as a civil servant.
It had been long since he had been so timid in front of the lord.
"Your five assistants have been recruited. Train them well. Also, find time to hold a meeting with the team leaders and village chiefs. Tell them that I will not treat them unfairly as long as they work sincerely for me."
Luo Ning momentarily said, "It's almost the end of the year. The annual output of the four villages needs to be calculated, and the rewards I promised before must be distributed as scheduled."
"You are so generous, sir!"
Wilson's nervous mood eased. He didn't expect that after this incident, the lord would increase the salary of his subordinates.
Thinking of the anger directed at the village head, Hahn, he asked hesitantly, "Sir, if Jingye Village makes it into the top three, will it still be rewarded?"
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "One thing is one thing. If Jingye Village can rank in the top three, the rewards will be given as usual. However, let's forget about the dismissed team leader. Not giving him any extra punishment is just my kindness. I want him to have a good year."
As they talked, the two came to the town, which is the only street in Shanlin Town.
There are many houses here, but most are made of wood or stone.
If the workmanship is good, they can resist disasters to a certain extent, but some of them are obviously dangerous buildings. If the snow continues overnight, the situation will probably be more serious.
Winter has just begun, and there may be snowfall in the next two months, so the inspection of dangerous buildings must continue.
But Roning didn't have time to supervise this matter.
Lulans' birthday is at the end of the month, so he must arrive a day or two in advance and set off after the snow melts.
He thought the next few days would pass uneventfully, but he didn't expect a crisis to approach quietly.
