Chapter 226 226. The cold wave is coming
Cheng Xi really wants to dig up some wild vegetables that have emerged.
“It will be too late if we don’t dig.”
The cold wave that Shen Xingluo said is coming tonight. Plants with deep roots may be fine, but those with shallower roots will be frozen by the sudden cold. die.
Even the crops in the field cannot be avoided, let alone the wild vegetables that have just grown a few leaves?
Cheng Xi was very glad that the cold current could not invade her villa space, otherwise she would really have nothing to eat.
Well, at least not on the surface.
She is definitely not a solitary eater, absolutely not.
“Master, do you really don’t want to eat dishes made from dandelions?”
“.We’ll go up the mountain later.”
"Follow your orders."
"What's that proud expression on your face? I'm talking about going up the mountain to collect medicine!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the elder, and whatever you say is what it is."< br>
"."Co-author Are you giving in to me because of my age? This damn girl!
After lunch, an old man and a young man carried bamboo baskets on their backs and entered Shennong Mountain. The old man had some inner strength and walked very steadily. After crossing a small hill, he led his apprentice deep into the forest.
Bright green buds sprouted from most of the branches in Shennong Mountain, and occasionally there was a flash of green on the ground. There were not many medicinal materials that could be picked at this time, and the main ones were still rhizomes. Not long after, some Smilax and kudzu were added to the basket next to it.
Of course, the mother-in-law Ding who met along the way was also taken in.
Mr. Xu also did not forget to teach while digging for medicinal materials, which shows that he has high hopes for Cheng Xi, and the latter studied very seriously. From time to time, he asked for a few words and expressed his own opinions, which was praised by the old man.
"You girl, I should have come here years earlier."
"."No, it wasn't me at that time.
Cheng Xi swallowed these words silently, looked at the sky for a moment and chuckled.
“Master, fate is a very mysterious thing. Sometimes, just a small change will make the future very different.”
“How can I get so many insights at such a young age? How can I see it? Are you still related to Buddhism? "
"." This is unnecessary.
Cheng Xi said that she is just a common person. She likes food, fun, black hair, and any beautiful things. She does not want to see through the world of mortals and escape into Buddhism.
The sun gradually turned from the south to the west, turning from golden to red. The backpacks behind the two of them became heavier and heavier until they could no longer put anything in them and then they returned home.
In the living room of the Shen family courtyard, Shen Xingluo rarely read in the study, but instead cleaned the iron stove that had not been used for several days.
Mr. Xu didn't pay attention, just thinking that he was going to put away the iron stove and wait for use in winter. Instead, Cheng Xi stared at the iron stove for a few seconds.
This evening, everyone felt that the weather was a little colder than before.
It’s just that spring has always been warm and cold. It’s not surprising that it gets cold one day, so I don’t pay much attention to it.
"Madam, please go to the space to sleep tonight."
In the master bedroom, Shen Xingluo was reading under the oil lamp.
Cheng Xi was startled, then shook his head, "No, it's better to get up and make some preparations in case it gets too cold."
She looked outside through the window, and there was a blur in the darkness. Something rustled.
“Hey, the wind is blowing?”
This north wind came so quickly, and soon the rustling sound suddenly turned into a crackling sound, which was caused by the impact of something falling on the ground and the wall.
Cheng Xi looked at the time, 9:30 pm.
This point is the prime time in modern times, but in ancient times when there was little entertainment, it was already very late. Most of the villagers in Shenjia Village had already gone to bed.
“Tsk, it’s really troublesome not to have satellites.”
If this were done in modern times, Cheng Xi could turn on his mobile phone to check the flow speed and direction of this cold air, but now he can only do Wait.
Even if there is a system plug-in, nothing can be done now because of the lack of necessary conditions.
Depressed.
Shen Xingluo put down the book and leaned against the bedside, "Are you bored, madam?"
Cheng Xi was surprised, "No, why did you ask that?"
< br>Because I'm afraid you'll be too boring.
Shen Xingluo's black eyes flashed. The cold wind blew from the window to the side of his face. He stood up and closed the window not far away. "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold. It won't be too peaceful tonight, so go to bed early."
Okay, there's nothing to do anyway.
Cheng Xi wrapped herself in a quilt and buried herself in it. Her voice was a little muffled, "By the way, how is the trial of the case in Fucheng going?"
"The involvement is too wide. After a few days of trouble, four officials in Lin'an Fucheng were jailed today."
"Wow~ The fifth prince is domineering!"
"."
Shen Xingluo raised his eyebrows and looked at her intently.
Cheng Xi only felt that the room was a few degrees colder. Later, he realized that someone was releasing the air conditioner.
“Of course, my husband is also domineering.”
"Madam, please tell me, why is my husband so domineering?"
"You knew about the case that was just finished today before the news even got out of the city. It shows that my husband is not only domineering but also has great hands and eyes."
Shen Xingluo met her serious gaze and suddenly chuckled.
A low laugh sounded beside him. Cheng Xi looked at the handsome face close at hand and was stunned. He muttered "monster" secretly, turned away from him and closed his eyes, leaving only one red eye. The ears are on the outside.
"Madam?"
"I slept."
"."
This night was really not peaceful.
After the strong wind, there came a light, moderate rain. The intensity was not at all like what it should be in early spring. The temperature dropped sharply in the second half of the night, and it was so cold that Cheng Xi crawled under the quilt.
Shen Xingluo slept outside. He got up and went to the living room to raise the stove and add a lot of charcoal. Finally, he used two iron basins to separate some charcoal and planned to knock on the doors of the two second bedrooms.
"How about I deliver it to Xingqi?"
"No, you can sleep."
Where can I sleep?
Cheng Xi was sleepy-eyed. Just as he was about to sit up, he was so cold that he suddenly woke up.
It’s too cold!
Not long after, Shen Xingluo walked in with a brazier, adding some warmth to the bedroom.
“Did it rain in the first half of the night?”
“Well, it’s raining a lot.”
“I see it has dropped to below zero now. It’s freezing inside.”
No wonder Shen Xingluo said that there will be no harvest this autumn. The rain turned to ice overnight, and the wheat that is more than ten centimeters high will definitely not be able to survive.
Cheng Xi wrapped herself in the quilt again, and the sky outside gradually became brighter.
"How long will this cold wave last?"
"Three or four days."
"."
Oh Huh——
To say that she was lucky just now, if the wheat was tough enough, maybe a few trees could survive, but now she doesn't think so at all.
God is trying to kill people.
“Fortunately, we have cultivated a lot of potato seedlings at home. We can plant them when the temperature rises in a few days.”
Shen Xingluo nodded, “I will go to Uncle Liu’s house to discuss this matter in a few days. "
Cheng Xi yawned, and when he saw the cold wind was still blowing outside, he decided to stay in bed until the end, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, there was no one around her, and the brazier seemed to be burning vigorously with a few more pieces of charcoal added.
