Chapter 259 The "Terrible" Snow
Chapter 259 The "Terrible" Snow
Lin Lanshan stretched out her hands and called to them, "Come on, come down quickly~ What's there to be afraid of? This snow isn't going to eat you."
Taking advantage of its large size, Peach wasn't afraid and went down into the snow as soon as it was told to.
And just like that, the thick snow instantly concealed its four hooves.
Those long legs disappeared in an instant! And they said this snow doesn't eat chickens and geese? That's terrifying!
Tuanyuan and Ankang witnessed this scene and were so frightened that they kept backing away.
They retreated into their hut and huddled in their furry nest, watching from afar as Peach curiously trudged through the snow.
They were making gurgling noises, looking quite anxious. It was as if they were calling for their older sister, Peach, to come back quickly, because it was dangerous outside.
Lin Lanshan laughed at them loudly without any mercy, "Hahaha, look at you cowards! Why are you so timid now? You're usually so bold, grabbing anything in the sky or on the ground to take a bite!"
Unfortunately, no matter what she said, Tuanyuan and Ankang wouldn't leave their nest, shaking their heads incessantly.
Lin Chunyi came down the steps and said slowly as she walked over, "Lanshan, stop teasing them. Don't you see how small they are, little chicks and goslings?"
If you fall into the snow and can't pull yourself out, they'll be so angry they'll bite your hands until they're swollen. You're just trying to scare them... Ouch!
They were talking peacefully when Lin Chunyi, a grown woman, suddenly disappeared.
"???" Lin Lanshan stood there, stunned and didn't react. What was going on? What did it mean? Where was everyone?
Peach and Reunion were also startled. They had just seen their owner standing there perfectly fine, how could they suddenly disappear on the snow?
"Ugh!" Peach anxiously trudged through the snow, struggling to run towards the place where Lin Chunyi had disappeared.
"Gah!"
"Cuckoo!"
Tuanyuan and Ankang hurriedly flew out of their nest and jumped onto the snow. Well, they all tumbled right off the spot...
Lin Lanshan was also completely bewildered.
However, she only hesitated for a few moments before instinctively running forward to find her mysteriously disappeared sister.
"Sis, what's wrong? Don't scare me...?" Before she could fully express her anxiety, her face suddenly turned into one of utter speechlessness.
"Are you out of your mind? You're just bored enough to scare people like this!"
It turned out that when she ran over, she saw that a large human figure was placed openly about half a meter away from the steps leading up to the kitchen.
And this "adult" person could not be anyone else, but Lin Chunyi, who was lying on the snow.
As for why Lin Lanshan's first reaction upon seeing her sister wasn't to anxiously assume she had fainted...
Oh, that's because Lin Chunyi was lying face down in the snow! And her face was all scrunched up, as she was holding her breath and trying not to laugh!
Now Lin Lanshan understood everything. What else was there to say? What else could it be?
She was just tricked and frightened by her own older sister.
Lin Chunyi lay on her back in the snow, slightly tilting her head to look at her, and laughed for a while before saying:
"Hahahaha... I was just trying to help you out since you've been trying to trick Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and An'an Kangkang for so long without success. So, did they finally come out? Hahaha~"
"Thank you!" Lin Lanshan said angrily, hands on her hips and pouting.
"It's not just them who got scammed, you scared me half to death too! I thought something had happened to you!"
Next time you do something like this, could you please talk to me beforehand? I don't want to give myself a heart attack at such a young age.
Well, as someone with a natural talent for scaring people, Lin Lanshan didn't think there was anything abnormal about her sister's actions. She just felt she should have been informed beforehand, and then they could have scared others together, or at least not been spoiled...
Peach came over, and in her haste, she bit Lin Chunyi's sleeve and tried to pull her outside, while making whimpering noises.
"Hey, thanks for saving me, Peach, hehe~" Lin Chunyi got up from the snow, then patted the snow off her body from head to toe, leaving a deep "big" mark in the snow.
She shivered involuntarily again, then rubbed her slightly cold face and grinned, saying, "Ugh, it's pretty cold lying in the snow."
Lin Lanshan rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to her.
He simply walked silently behind her, helped shake the snow off the back of her clothes, and quickly took a picture.
Lin Chunyi looked around. It was quiet. Apart from her younger sister and Taozi beside her, there was nothing else.
"Hey, where are Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, An An, and Kang Kang? Didn't they come down? I clearly heard them flapping their wings just now."
"Hmm? They did seem to fly down just now, but, um..."
As the two walked towards their hut, they heard a rustling sound at the door, followed immediately by...
Four little heads popped out of the snow, along with their wings flapping upwards.
"quack!"
"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"
Having finally managed to get up, Tuanyuan and Ankang cried out in a panic:
Help, master! This snow is terrifying! It'll eat chickens and geese!
The two sisters kept their mouths shut and quickly went over to pull them out and place them on the path where the snow had been shoveled away.
Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, and An An Kang Kang shook their heads rapidly from side to side, like little whirlwinds. After shaking their heads, they shook their bodies, shaking all the snow off their feathers.
To avoid frightening the little ones, Lin Lanshan pinched a snowball in her palm and then brought it close to them.
"Hehe, look, this is snow! It's not scary at all. It just melts into water when it encounters heat."
The white ball in her palm shrank slowly under the watchful eyes of Tuanyuan and Ankang, until it finally became a handful of water.
They curiously approached, looking at it again and again. An'an and Kang Kang even stretched their necks to take a bite.
Hmm~ This is the water they usually drink! It's just that it's icy cold, a bit chilly.
No wonder they explore the valley every day; their courage has been honed long ago. They weren't afraid of those mere snowflakes after a short while!
The two sisters watched as Tuanyuan and Ankang tentatively stretched out their feet, stomping, pecking, and shaking their fluffy heads... fully demonstrating their naivety at having never seen snow before.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan sneezed one after the other, probably because they caught a cold.
Seeing this, Lin Chunyi thought for a moment and then suggested, "Lanshan, since we'll be lighting the stove soon anyway, why don't we let them come back to the house with us today and stay inside?"
Lin Lanshan blinked her sparkling eyes, adding to her sister's idea: "That makes sense! So what are we eating today, sis? This is the first snowfall, and a heavy one at that! We should celebrate with something good!"
"Let me think... hot pot?"
When is the best time to eat hot pot?
It has to be either the hottest or the coldest weather. Because extreme weather brings out the ultimate flavor of food!
"I think that's a good idea! Let's go, Peach, may you be reunited with your family, safe and sound, and come back inside with us for some delicious food~"
"Uh!"
"Gah!"
"Goo!"
They followed happily behind the two sisters.
Some wag their tails, some twist their necks, and some flap their wings.
On the path where snowflakes kept falling and piling up a thin layer of snow again... one figure after another was left behind, and one pair of shallow footprints after another.
