Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 266 A Light Snowball Fight

Small waterfall

The two sisters could usually hear the rushing sound of the stream crashing against the rocks whenever they got close to the waterfall. But today, they only heard the clear, tinkling sound of the stream when they got right up to the waterfall.

The withered grass by the water and the large rocks on the water were all covered with white snow. Only a little bit of moss was still stuck in the mud and crevices of the rocks on the shore, trying its best to show its difference from the surrounding color.

And indeed, the several pools of water below the waterfall, large and small, had all frozen over with translucent ice.

"Sister, look, it's all frozen!" Lin Lanshan carefully stepped forward and stomped on the snow until her feet were firmly planted before squatting down by the pool below the waterfall and poking the ice on the surface with her index finger.

With a few soft cracking sounds, the ice on the pool resembled the sugar coating of a candied hawthorn skewer they were biting into.

It shattered from the center with countless tiny cracks, then split in all directions, breaking into several large pieces.

Finally, it fell into the stream.

"Ah! What a pity, the ice is too thin. Let alone the two of us standing on it, I bet even Tuantuan and Yuanyuan could have trouble stepping on it."

With a gentle snap, she broke off a large chunk of ice from the pool and held it between her warm fingers.

The thin layer of ice was about the same thickness as a copper coin, and it was almost transparent when viewed in the sunlight.

What a pity... the pool didn't freeze over, and her wish to go ice skating was dashed.

Lin Chunyi casually broke off a long strip of ice and swung it around a few times as if it were a sword.

"This water isn't shallow, and it's constantly flowing downwards, so it's not easy for thick ice to form. You'd better take a look at my Frost Sword, isn't it cool!"

Lin Lanshan glanced at it and then pouted, saying, "Other people's Frost Sword is forged from millennia-old ice, while yours was hastily made in a snowdrift in three days. What's so cool about that?"

There are probably several rows of these already mass-produced under the eaves behind our house. Go back and play with them slowly; three to five rounds a day will keep you entertained for days.”

After it snows, rows of sharp icicles, also called icicles, will appear under the eaves of most houses.

The straight, transparent, sharp icicles can be broken off and used as swords, but be careful not to get pricked when passing by, as it can easily be fatal!

So to avoid any danger, they took them down early last year.

After holding a large piece of ice for a while, Lin Lanshan felt her hands getting numb from the cold, so she quickly threw it into the stream where the ice had been broken.

With a "thump!", water splashed everywhere, and the icy coldness hit the two sisters' faces directly.

They took a few steps back in unison, breathed hot air into their hands, and then rubbed their faces.

"That makes sense. I'll have to check how many of my Frost Swords I have when I get back. I'll pick a few of the good-looking ones to keep for fun, and I'll have to get rid of the rest as soon as possible."

We're not likely to get pricked, but those few—Taozi, Tuanyuan, and Ankang—who aren't very bright and always causing trouble, might be a different story.

Lin Chunyi also used a harpoon to poke at the ice surface of a smaller pool next to her, and it shattered into pieces with just one poke.

He then stood up and said:

"Let's go. The ice here doesn't look very thick, so you'd better not think about it. Hurry up and cut down the bamboo. Let's go home and go to our bedroom to warm up by the fire."

In this freezing weather, instead of lighting the stove, I'd rather be curled up comfortably in bed and sleeping soundly. Why come out here in this icy, snowy place and suffer with my hands and face turning red from the cold…

Sigh, sometimes good food really can be a curse!

The two continued walking through the snow, and after walking for quite a while, they finally reached the bamboo forest, where they were once again captivated by Xiao Xiaomei's beauty!

Last winter, after it snowed, the two sisters stayed indoors because they were cold, and they had no idea that the bamboo forest after the snow would be such a beautiful sight.

The bamboo forests in the north during winter are different from those in other seasons, and also different from those in the south.

At this time, it lacks the lush, upright bamboo trunk and vibrant green leaves. But it is also not like other winter trees, withered, yellow, and lifeless, like rotten wood on the verge of death.

Each tree is a mix of green and rough yellow, like a middle-aged scholar in an old, yellowish-green robe standing far away in the frost and snow, his back slightly hunched but with an unusually firm gaze.

Layer upon layer of snow fell on each fluttering bamboo leaf, easily obscuring the green and yellow hues it had tried so hard to retain, yet it could not bend its branches...

However, while they possess a certain artistic sensibility, it's not abundant. After marveling at the beauty of life, they still cruelly chop down two bamboo stalks.

Lin Chunyi walked over slowly, "Such a beautiful sight, I almost can't bear to cut it down. Which one should I cut?"

Let's just cut one that's not so straight and isn't so young, right? After all, it's just making a basket, so we don't need to worry about aesthetics.

While she was searching through the bamboo forest for the ugliest bamboo stalk,

She didn't notice that her younger sister, Lin Lanshan, who was itching all over if she didn't get a beating that day, had already revealed a "sinister smile" and was reaching out her evil claws towards a certain place...

"Splash! Splash! Splash!"

"It's snowing! It's snowing! Hahahaha!" Lin Lanshan shouted while laughing.

It turned out that she had just found two bamboo stalks closest to her sister and was shaking them wildly.

"!!!" The snow fell thick and fast, white as snowflakes, rushing towards Lin Chunyi below the bamboo.

Lin Chunyi was caught off guard and drenched in water, instantly becoming completely white from head to toe. She seemed to blend into the bamboo forest, and without close inspection, it was impossible to tell she was there…

How did Lin Chunyi feel? Probably a feeling of being thoroughly refreshed and exhilarated.

"Lin Lanshan..." So she gripped the harpoon in her hand even tighter and began to go mad calmly.

The harpoon plunged into the snow, and with a "snowfall from flat ground" motion, it flew towards Lin Lanshan.

Then, with another "sweeping through the enemy lines," he used a harpoon to scatter the snow in front of Lin Lanshan everywhere, even getting himself covered in it.

While dodging, Lin Lanshan retaliated with a harpoon, "Hahaha, in this bamboo forest snow battle, I, Lin, will surely defeat you today! Waaaaaah, I'm going to fight, fight, fight!"

The two sides and their harpoons clashed fiercely. One fool even managed to throw bamboo at the other, resulting in him injuring the enemy eight hundred while losing a thousand of his own.

There were also idiots who dog-paddled through the snow, resulting in snow and mud mixing together and getting into their own laughing mouths...

The green and yellow bamboo stalks, which had finally gotten a chance to wear their new winter coats, had their coats cruelly ripped off so quickly.

The soil buried deep beneath the snow was also dug up in large quantities and scattered everywhere. The pristine white snow looked as if it had just been stained by mud pits.

This beautiful, artistic, and elegant bamboo forest has been turned into a chaotic mess by the two sisters, and has completely become their harpoon battlefield!
