196. Plummeting
"Where's the second brother?"
Hu Xiaoqi carefully held the send-off gifts scavenged from everywhere and worked hard to climb over the two snowy mountains, and finally returned home in time at the last moment when the sun set.
But when he got home, he found that it had reached the originally agreed time to mobilize before the migration, but the second brother still didn't see the beast, and the third brother had already returned!
Curly hair next door came to exchange some medicine with the second brother, so the second brother went out. We're waiting for you, why did you come back so late?" Hu Xiaowu hugged his round belly, looked at Xiao Qi, who was holding a bunch of things he didn't know, and was a little puzzled, "What is that thing in your hand?"
"Oh, aren't we going to move, so the cub next door gave me some gifts!" Carefully putting the pile of things in a corner of the house, Fox Xiaoqi jumped in the direction of the kettle on the table, "Give me a little water, bring so many things back, I'm dying of thirst." ”
Looking at Xiao Qi, who didn't have any desire to stop after killing three glasses of water in a row, Fox Xiaowu was a little confused.
Look at Xiao Qi is thirsty like this, is it possible that Xiao Qi and those cubs have been chatting for so long, and they haven't given a little water?
"How long will it be before we leave?"
The sun had already set, and the winter winds were coming, and it was time to leave tomorrow, but they didn't know when. Although they were walking with the brigade at first, the place where they lived was completely different, so it took time to get to the meeting point.
"When the first batch of moonflowers blooms, we will go!"
The timing of the arrival of winter varies from year to year, but it is also within that time frame. It's a month late this year, but it doesn't hinder anything, the ones that should have withered in autumn have already withered, and the flowers that should bloom in winter are also preparing to bloom.
When winter comes, the moonflower seeds that have been sleeping in the ground for a year will break through the ground with the first gust of winter wind blowing. At that time, even if everyone was asleep, they would smell the fragrance of moonflower wafting in the wind.
The first moonflowers bloom for a short time, only three hours, but no flower on the continent will bloom at that time. So when everyone was awakened by the fragrance in the distance, as soon as he opened his eyes, he could see that the silver-white moonflower was spreading all over his eyes at an astonishing speed.
And when the first batch of moon flowers blooms all over the world, all the cold-attribute beasts that have been suppressed by the high temperature for a whole year can begin to release their nature to the fullest and start their winter carnival.
At this time, the cubs of the snowy mountain no longer have to be confined to a small snow cave, but can run around the snowy mountain to their heart's content and enjoy the vastness of the world.
The blooming of moonflowers means the arrival of extremely cold weather and the beginning of a winter crisis.
And now there are still six hours before the moonflower blooms, and it is not only these little mirror foxes who are nervous, but also Wuya and her little Kuoai Ermao, who are thousands of miles away.
"Are you all so terrible in winter???
Winter hadn't yet arrived, and Uya felt the terrifying aura he had leaked out in advance.
This winter is different from what she imagined!
Different from the gradual search for winter on the earth, the winter here can really come overnight, or there is no buffer!
In the morning, she still felt that the weather was very comfortable, the autumn was crisp, and she was still patrolling the territory with Ermao, while doing some safety measures in advance for the arrival of winter, while collecting the fruits that they had missed, she was very comfortable.
But in the afternoon, when they had eaten dinner in advance and were about to count the fruits of the day's collection, there was a sudden gust of strange wind. The wind, which came out of nowhere, blew away some of their fruit on the platform.
It was at this time that Ermao's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly stuffed her into the cotton quilt she had prepared in advance for the arrival of winter, and took out the crystal lantern and put it on the stone bed.
Because of the winter, she didn't plan to continue sleeping on the cold stone bed, but asked Keke to help make a bunk bed. An additional layer of wooden bed was erected on top of the original stone bed. This way she can sleep on a stone bed in the summer and a wooden bed in the winter.
Although the warm spar has become so hot after the treatment of Keke, it cannot be used directly in the initial stage, and it must be isolated. So when Ermao was a child, Ke Ke also went to the Hui clan to find something like a crystal lantern. This thing is like an air conditioner, and the temperature of the thermospar is controlled by twisting the lampshade.
Wu Ya, who hadn't reacted at first, was stunned by Ermao's sudden move, and when she felt that she was about to be suffocated by the cotton quilt that Ermao kept taking out of her pocket. It was only when she struggled her head out of the layers of restraint and breathed in the first breath of fresh air that she felt the temperature change in the environment of the cave at this moment.
The temperature dropped, and fast!
emmm...... She saw the fruit tea that had been knocked over by Ermao on the ground, and before the tea could disperse, it instantly turned into an ice lump.
If I don't feel wrong, the temperature was still in the teens when I was on the platform just now, then it's below zero now.
If Ermaoshou hadn't dragged her from the outside into the inside, it is estimated that she would have braided her hair by now.
"It's not even started yet...... It's just cooling. Winter isn't here yet!"
As the lord of this territory, she immediately sensed that something was not quite right in the north. The temperature of the forest to the north of the blessed land is dropping dramatically, and the beast that she left there to tell the time has also lost signs of life for a moment.
This feeling made her very uneasy, so she took Uya into the cave as soon as she felt the change, and took out the warm crystal lantern that was supposed to be used after the first gust of winter wind, just in case something happened. And the facts proved that the lantern that Ermao took out was indeed useful, and it also saved Wuya's life.
"Can't call this yet?"
Make no mistake! Isn't that a temperature? What is your standard for winter? Could it be that you have any specific festivals?
"The moonflower hasn't bloomed yet!"
Stuffed Wuya into the quilt, Ermao was not idle, and now she was thinking about what to do with the frozen fruit outside the platform.
Well, it looks like you can't eat it either.
Ermao didn't expect that today's winter would be so weird, and it was suddenly postponed for a month, and now it has begun to cool down?
Before the moonflower blooms, the temperature will indeed drop, yes, but there is also a buffer, it will start to cool down six hours in advance, but now this temperature is obviously wrong! Now this temperature is directly down to the lowest temperature before last year's moonflower blooms, and it is still falling, it is estimated that it will break through the record high?
