Li Qing didn't care about Shen Xin anymore.

The fate of this guy is already doomed, and Li Qing has even figured out how to distribute him.

'Bang la la...... sleet was falling outside, Li Qing opened the window, and the water vapor blew in with the wind, and it was cold and cold.

"It's not yet the winter solstice, and the temperature is so low......" Li Qing frowned and muttered to himself, hot air erupted from his mouth and nose, turned into white mist and drifted away with the wind, melting into the air.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Yao Guangxiao were in Jiming Temple to discuss the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Yao Guangxiao calculated the cycle with the way of heaven, calculated that the Ming Dynasty would encounter severe cold weather in the future, and took history as an example.

Now it seems that it has begun to be fulfilled.

Is it so fast...... Li Qing was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he found that there were many clues, not without traces.

In fact, from the beginning of his crossing, he found that the climate of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of later generations, and it was colder.

But at that time, he didn't think much about it, but subjectively thought that the rapid development of modernization in later generations polluted the air and caused global warming.

Looking at it now, it may not be like that, but the earth has entered a new cycle.

A sense of powerlessness arose, although the situation in the court was difficult, as long as he worked hard, it was still possible to reverse it, but the climate was ...... There's really nothing you can do.

Now that Da Ming's fundamentals have changed, he is not sure what the future holds.

Now that the population has exceeded 100 million, in a few tens or hundreds of years, how much will the population of Daming be?

200 million, 300 million, or more?

At least for the time being, there is definitely enough food to eat, and there is still a lot of leftover, but ...... What about later?

Later, as the population increased and the cold gradually intensified, would there still be enough food to eat?

The so-called economic prosperity is built above the subsistence and clothing line, and if there is not enough to eat, there can be no economic prosperity.

Li Qing hesitated, he suddenly felt that too many people might not be a good thing.

The rain slowed down until it turned into snowflakes and danced with the wind.

Soon, the ground temperature could not be dissolved, and a thin layer accumulated.

"Whew~" exhaled another hot breath, Li Qing closed the window, walked to the chair and sat down, frowning and silent.

'Da, da, da......' The sound of crutches hitting the floor tiles came from far and near, and Zhu Yunwen walked over with a smile: "What do you want, senior brother?" ”

"It's nothing, just a little emotional." Li Qing got rid of the negative emotions and joked: "The first snow in the first year of Jingtai is earlier than the orthodox fourteen years. ”

Zhu Yunwen walked up to him, sat down on crutches, and nodded: "Yes, when I was a child, it was still very warm at this time." ”

"It's getting colder and colder day by day," Zhu Yunwen sighed and smiled bitterly, "I can't go out, and I don't have any heat on my body." ”

Li Qing said softly: "Pay attention to keeping warm and add more clothes." ”

"Hey, I know." Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, "Let's go, the hot pot is ready, and the housekeeper bought some dog meat today, and drink some at noon." ”

"Walking."

The steaming hot pot with spices and dried red peppers is fragrant and spicy, and it is really enjoyable.

Zhu Yunwen is too old to eat more, and the wine is also tasted lightly, more about talking and laughing, and watching a few people eat.

It's Zhu Qizhen, who is making it when he gets rid of his cheeks, this guy is young, and he is not afraid of accumulating food, and he eats with a mouth full of oil.

That is, the hot pot is too spicy, otherwise he would like to bring some back to his daughter-in-law.

"Almost, you can eat some greens." Li Qing saw that he couldn't finish eating, and he was about to show off a pound and a half of three catties of dog meat, and said with a calm face, "Don't just grab the meat and eat it." ”

"What? Don't you want to eat enough? Zhu Qizhen was so aggrieved that he complained, "You are abusing ...... abuse."

Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes and said to Li Qing: "Senior brother, he is also like this in the grassland?" ”

“…… I didn't eat it. Zhu Qizhen said hatefully, "If you eat some meat, you have to look at your face." ”

"Okay, I didn't see you eat less, you were still wronged." Li Qing shook his head amusedly, and then looked at the little old man, "Master, why don't you eat it?" ”

"I don't have much appetite today, I'm going to fight for a while." Zhang sighed sloppily, got up and walked out, making Li Qing inexplicable.

Li Qing drank all the wine in the cup, got up and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go out for a walk." ”

~

Zhang didn't box, just walked in the snow with his hands behind his back, his steps heavy.

Li Qing stepped forward quickly and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

He rarely saw his master like this, the little old man was always so open-minded, and basically nothing could affect his mood.

Zhang Sloppy didn't speak and continued walking.

Li Qing didn't ask any more questions, followed him and walked with him.

After a long time, Zhang sloppily stopped his steps and sighed: "Qingzi, Xiao Zhu... It's been just these two months. ”

"What?" Li Qing's body was shocked, and his face changed color, "Master, I look at my junior brother and he... The complexion is still good! ”

"That's because I'm angry with him." Zhang sloppy said weakly, "He was seriously ill at the beginning of last year, and although he was cured in time, he also left the root of the disease, after all... He's old;

But this time, there's nothing I can do. ”

Li Qing wanted to speak and stopped, speechless and choked, even the little old man couldn't do anything, what could he do?

"Probably... Will it last until the Chinese New Year? ”

"Reluctantly, I'll try my best." Zhang said sloppily, "If it is just a simple life, there is no problem at all, but in that case, it can only make Xiao Zhu lie on the sickbed all day long." ”

Li Qing was silent, he knew that Zhu Yunwen definitely didn't like that.

In the last days of his life, especially for people like Zhu Yunwen, who are enlightened, they prefer to be free and want to be decent rather than forcibly continue their lives.

Both the master and apprentice were silent, and after a long time, Li Qing asked, "Does he know, junior brother?" ”

"His own body, of course he knows." Zhang sloppy smiled bitterly.

Li Qing nodded lightly and said, "He wants to be buried in Xiaoling." ”

"I know this, and this wish must be fulfilled for him." Zhang sighed sloppily, "He is a good boy who is filial." ”

"Hmm."

…

Time passed day by day, and Zhu Yunwen was losing weight day by day, withering little by little.

The feeling of life gradually disappearing was obvious, Zhu Qizhen felt it, and he stopped saying anything angry with him, and stopped talking to him.

Li Qing didn't do anything, with the master here, there was no need for him to make a move.

The little old man treated him throughout the whole process, and on the premise of ensuring Zhu Yunwen's decency, he bought him time as much as possible.

Zhu Qizhen knew that he liked children, so he often hugged his daughter to show off with him.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and accepted everyone's kindness to him.

Gradually, Zhu Yunwen doesn't like to move much, he likes to sit at the door, hold a book, hold a cup of hot tea, and sometimes watch quietly, looking at a place in a daze, when it snows, he likes to enjoy the snow scene in the courtyard.

Time is fair and unforgiving, it doesn't slow down for anyone, it doesn't leave anyone behind.

It's only ...... Forgot about Li Qing.

The moon is over, the weather is a little colder, this year's snow is very frequent, one snow does not wait to melt, another snow comes one after another, into the eyes of the white expanse.

Everyone was revolving around Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunwen was also enjoying everyone's kindness with peace of mind.

He likes to hide some candied fruit in his sleeve, so that every time Xiao Li Hong comes, he can give it to the little guy, and he can make the little guy who is very strictly controlled at home happy for a long time.

He likes to see children laugh.

He was very emotional and content.

As time passed, he finally collapsed, lingering on the sickbed, unable to get up.

But he remains optimistic, positive, easy-going and stable. ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

It's almost the New Year, he wants to get through it, and he wants everyone to have a good New Year......

Before the couch,

Li Qing held a small bowl of hot porridge and scooped it up to dissipate heat.

When the temperature is moderate, put it on the tray on the side, bend down to help Yun Wei sit up, and put a pillow behind him to make him more comfortable.

"Laba today, this is boiled by my senior brother's own hands, try it."

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunwen's tired face: "Senior brother's craftsmanship has always been speechless, I need to eat more." ”

"Hey," the corners of Li Qing's mouth tried to rise, picked up the porridge bowl, and fed him porridge; Li Qing, who had always believed in himself, was a little nervous at the moment, "How does it taste?" ”

"Delicious as always." Zhu Yunwen smiled and gave affirmation.

The corners of Li Qing's mouth were crooked, but he didn't realize that it was downward, he 'smiled' and said, "If it's delicious, eat more." ”

"yes, okay."

One feeds porridge and the other eats porridge, the atmosphere is soft and warm; Both of them are very dedicated, and they are deliberately avoiding something.

But...... Some things are destined to be unavoidable.

Putting down the porridge bowl, Li Qing got up and helped him lie down, but Zhu Yunwen waved his hand gently.

"Senior brother, talk to me."

"yes, okay." Li Qing nodded lightly and talked about the past.

The past of the Hongwu Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's body was still very tough;

At that time, Queen Ma was still there;

At that time, Zhu Biao was in the prime of life;

At that time, Zhu Yunwen was still a child;

At that time, everything was beautiful......
