Cheng Xi really wanted to dig up some emerging wild vegetables.
"It will be too late if we don't dig."
The cold wave that Chen Xingluo mentioned is coming tonight. Plants with deep roots may be fine, but plants with shallower roots will be frozen to death by the sudden cold.
Even the crops in the field cannot be avoided, let alone the wild vegetables that have just sprouted 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 was 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."
"As commanded."
"What's that proud expression on your face? I'm talking about going up the mountain to collect herbs!"
"Yes, yes, you are the elder, and whatever you say is what you say."
"..." 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 stepped 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 green flashes occasionally appeared 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 cocos and kudzu root 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. He asked for advice from time to time and expressed his own opinions, which was praised by the old man.
"You girl...I should have been 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 can make the future very different."
"How can you gain so much insight at such a young age? Why do I see you still connected with 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 has no desire to break 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 Shen's courtyard, Shen Xingluo rarely read in the study, but 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.
That evening, everyone felt that the weather was a little colder than before.
It's just that spring has always been warm and cold, so it's not surprising if 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, Chen 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 saw something faintly rustling in the darkness.
"Hey, is the wind 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, it was 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, and most of the villagers in Shenjia Village had already gone to bed.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome not having satellites."
If this were happening in modern times, Cheng Xi would be able to turn on his phone and check the flow speed and direction of this cold air, but now he can only wait.
Even if there is a system plug-in, nothing can be done now because of the lack of necessary conditions.
depressed.
Chen Xingluo put down the book and leaned against the bed, "Are you bored, madam?"
Cheng Xi was surprised, "No, why do you ask that?"
Because I'm afraid you'll be too bored.
Chen 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 a peaceful night. It's better to go to bed early."
Okay, there's nothing to do anyway.
Cheng Xi wrapped herself in the quilt and buried herself in it. Her voice was a little muffled, "By the way, how is the trial going on in Fucheng?"
"The implication is too wide, and it will take a few more days, but today four officials in Lin'an Fucheng have been jailed."
"Wow~ The fifth prince is domineering!"
"..."
Chen 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 conditioning.
"Of course, my husband is also domineering."
"Madam, please tell me, why is my husband so domineering?"
"The trial just ended today. You knew about it before the news even spread out of the city. It shows that my husband is not only domineering but also has great hands and eyes."
Chen Xingluo met her serious gaze and suddenly chuckled.
A low laughter sounded beside him. Cheng Xi looked at Chi Chi's handsome face and was stunned. He muttered "monster" to himself, turned away from him and closed his eyes, leaving only one red ear outside.
"lady?"
"I slept."
"..."
This night was really not peaceful.
After the strong wind, there was a light, moderate rain. The intensity was nothing like what it should be in early spring. The temperature dropped sharply in the second half of the night, so cold that Cheng Xi crawled under the quilt.
Chen 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 secondary bedrooms.
"How about I deliver it to Xingqi?"
"No, just go to sleep."
Where can I still sleep——
Cheng Xi was sleepy-eyed. Just when he was about to sit up, he was so cold that he suddenly woke up.
It's too cold!
Not long after, Chen Xingluo walked in with a brazier, adding some warmth to the bedroom.
"Did it rain in the middle of the night?"
"Well, it's quite a heavy blow."
"I see it has dropped below zero now, and the ground is freezing."
No wonder Chen Xingluo would say that there will be no harvest after autumn this year, and 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 snap last?"
"Three or four days."
"..."
Oh haha——
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, this is going 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."
Chen Xingluo nodded, "I will go to Uncle Six's house in a few days to discuss this matter."
Cheng Xi yawned, and when she saw the cold wind was still blowing outside, she decided to stay in bed until the end, closed her 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.
