226. A cold snap is coming
Cheng Xi really wants to dig up some emerging wild vegetables and come back.
"If you don't dig it, it'll be too late."
The cold snap that Shen Xingluo said is coming tonight, and the deep roots of the plants may be fine, but anything that is shallower will be frozen to death by the sudden cold.
Even crops in the field can't be avoided, let alone wild vegetables that have just grown a few leaves.
Cheng Xi was very glad that this cold current could not invade her villa space, otherwise she would really have no food to eat.
Well, at least not on the surface.
She's definitely not a solitary eater, definitely not.
"Master, do you really not want to eat dishes made of dandelions?"
“...... I'll go up the hill later. ”
"Yes."
"What's that smug look on your face? Lao Tzu is talking about going up the mountain to collect medicine! ”
"Yes, yes, you are an elder, and whatever you say is what you say."
...... "Co-authored with you, is this seeing that I am old and letting me?" This damn girl!
After lunch, an old man and a young man carried a bamboo basket into Shennong Mountain, the old man had some internal strength, the steps under his feet were very steady, and after crossing a small hill, he took his apprentice into the depths of the mountain forest.
Most of the branches of Shennong Mountain have bright green shoots, there are occasional green flashes on the ground, there are not many medicinal materials that can be picked at this time, still mainly rhizomes, and there are more Poria cocos and kudzu in the back basket next to it.
Of course, all the mothers-in-law I met along the way were also taken in.
Xu Lao did not forget to teach when digging medicinal materials, which shows that he has high hopes for Cheng Xi, and the latter learns very seriously, and from time to time asks for a few words and expresses his opinions by the way, which is appreciated by the old man.
"You girl...... I should have been here a few years earlier. ”
...... "No, it wasn't me then.
Cheng Xi swallowed this sentence silently, looked at the sky and chuckled lightly for a moment.
"Master, fate is a very mysterious thing, sometimes just a small change will make a big difference in the future."
"How can you have so many insights at such a young age? How can I see that you are still connected to the Dharma? ”
"......" That's not necessary.
Cheng Xi said that she is a layman, she likes food, likes to play, prefers jet-black hair, likes anything good, and doesn't want to see through the red dust and escape into the empty door at all.
The sun gradually turned from the south to the west, turning from gold to red, and the basket behind them became heavier and heavier, until nothing could be put in it anymore.
In the living room of the Shen family's small courtyard, Shen Xingluo rarely did not read in the study, but cleaned up the iron stove that had not been used for a few days.
Xu Lao didn't care, he just thought that he was going to put away the iron furnace and wait for the winter to use it again, but Cheng Xi stared at the iron furnace for a few seconds.
In the evening, the weather felt colder than ever.
It's just that the spring is warm and cold, and it's not surprising that it's cold on a day, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
"Madame, let's go sleep in the space tonight."
In the master bedroom, Shen Xingluo was reading under the oil lamp.
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "No need, if it's too cold, you can get better and make some preparations." ”
She looked out the window, and something rustled in the darkness.
"Huh, it's windy?"
The north wind came so quickly that 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, half past nine in the evening.
This point is the golden hour in modern times, but it is already late for the ancient times when there is no entertainment, and most of the villagers of Shenjia Village have already fallen asleep.
"Tsk, it's a hassle to have no satellites."
If this were in modern times, Cheng Xi would be able to open his mobile phone to check the speed and direction of the flow of this cold air, but now he can only wait.
Even if there is a plug-in system, now there is nothing that can be done because of the lack of necessary conditions.
Depressed.
Shen Xingluo put down the book and leaned against the head of the bed, "Madame, are you bored?" ”
Cheng Xi was surprised, "No, why do you ask that?" ”
Because I'm afraid you'll be too boring.
Shen Xingluo's dark eyes flashed, and the cold wind blew from the window to the side of his face, and he got up and closed the window not far away.
"It's cold outside, don't catch a cold, this night won't be too peaceful, let's go to bed early."
Okay, there's nothing to play anyway.
Cheng Xi wrapped the quilt and buried himself in it, his voice was a little muffled, "By the way, how is the eucalyptus trial in Fucheng?" ”
"The implication is too wide, and it will have to be tossed for a few days, but four officials in Lin'an Fucheng have been imprisoned today."
"Wow~ The five princes are domineering!"
“......”
Shen Xingluo raised his eyebrows and looked at her fixedly.
Cheng Xi only felt that it was a few degrees cold in the house, and the latter realized that someone was releasing the cold air.
"Of course, the husband is also domineering."
"Madame, tell me, where is the husband domineering?"
"The eucalyptus that has just been tried today, you will know before the news spreads out of the city, which shows that the husband is not only domineering but also has hands and eyes."
Shen Xingluo met her serious gaze and chuckled.
A low laugh sounded beside him, Cheng Xi looked at the handsome face who was close to Chi Qi and was stunned, and secretly muttered "demon", turned around and closed his eyes behind his back, leaving only one red ear outside.
"Ma'am?"
"I slept."
“......”
It was a night that was not peaceful.
After the strong wind, there was a sparse moderate rain, and the momentum was not at all like that of early spring, and the temperature plummeted in the second half of the night, freezing Cheng Xi straight into the quilt.
Shen Xingluo slept outside, got up and went to the living room, raised the stove, added a lot of charcoal to it, and finally used two iron basins to divide some charcoal, intending to knock on the doors of the two secondary bedrooms.
"Why don't I send it to Xingqi?"
"No, you can sleep."
Where can I still sleep?
Cheng Xi was sleepy-eyed, and just wanted to sit up, he was frozen to a clever moment, and the whole person was awake.
It's too cold too!
After a while, Shen Xingluo walked in with a brazier, adding some warmth to the bedroom.
"Was it raining in the middle of the night?"
"Well, it's not small."
"I see it's down to zero now, and it's freezing in the ground."
No wonder Shen Xingluo would say that there will be no harvest after this autumn, and the rain will turn into ice overnight, and the wheat more than ten centimeters tall will definitely not be able to survive.
Cheng Xi wrapped himself in the quilt again, and the sky outside gradually brightened.
"How long will this cold snap last?"
"Three or four days."
“......”
Oh no-
If she was lucky enough to be tenacious, she might have survived a few trees, but now she doesn't think so at all.
God, this is putting people to death.
"Fortunately, there are a lot of potato seedlings at home, and they can be planted when the temperature rises in a few days."
Shen Xingluo nodded, "I'll go to the sixth uncle's house in a few days to discuss this matter." ”
Cheng Xi yawned, and when he saw that the cold wind was still blowing outside, he planned to lie in bed to the end, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, there was no one around, and the brazier seemed to have re-added a few pieces of charcoal, burning vigorously.
