Chapter 281 A Heart Full of Sincerity
General Chen could have waited a little longer; why was he in such a hurry? However, this also shows that General Chen is a sincere person, unlike those scholars.
They are as cunning as a sieve.
If that's the kind of person, Fusu would probably find it even harder to get along with them.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, showing no sign of stopping, which was making things difficult for Fusu and his group.
They hadn't dared to give up before because they hoped that the snow would stop falling, but now it seems that God has no intention of granting their wish.
Many people began to feel discouraged, because as long as the snow kept falling, their efforts to shovel snow were futile.
Soldier A became increasingly irritated as he swept, and couldn't help but glance at the people around him, starting to become somewhat distracted.
He then whispered to the other soldiers beside him, "Is what we're doing useful? I see the snow falling non-stop, and we're just foolishly sweeping it up here. It's a complete waste of time and energy."
"I don't know what you mean, young master. You still haven't given up. I think we should stop now. We can take a break and wait for the snow to stop before continuing. That way, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"It's a pity the general can't interfere. After all, the young master is here. If it were the general, he definitely wouldn't let us continue sweeping. Our soldiers' energy is also limited."
As time went on, quite a few soldiers began to have similar complaints.
There was nothing they could do; they saw no hope here.
They understood Fusu's desire to get to the disaster area quickly, but putting this into practice was not a simple matter; it required them to put in continuous effort.
But now it seems that all their efforts were in vain. All those people working together to shovel snow only covered a few miles.
The journey to the disaster area is still very long.
They can't just sweep it over like that, can they? That would take so much time and effort.
Shoveling snow here is warmer than sitting there, but it's freezing.
If you were sitting there, with this much snow, you'd probably be shivering from the cold.
In this unfamiliar place, they dared not wander around, especially since their destination was a vast expanse of white snow.
Who knows where there might be a pitfall, so you can't just step into it rashly.
Some places may look ordinary, but if you step into one, it might turn out to be a huge pit, and you might not be able to pull yourself out.
So they couldn't find firewood to keep warm. Now that they were moving around, although they got hungry faster, at least they weren't so cold.
In addition, given Fusu's status, these people did not dare to openly question him.
Upon seeing the heavy snow, Fusu frowned deeply. He hadn't expected that after they had come all this way, the snow would start falling again. He wondered how many people would freeze to death.
This is truly a heartbreaking thing.
The weather this year has been truly unpredictable. It was incredibly dry in the summer, and now it's snowing non-stop in the winter.
This is truly a year of great disaster. People in ancient times had weak disaster resistance capabilities. Whether it was a flood or this heavy snow, it was enough to take their lives.
So, the snow brought them quite a few problems.
Fortunately, they had already arrived in the vicinity and sent out a batch of supplies; these people were lucky.
