The 18th day of the twelfth lunar month is a good time to make money and open a pond.
Just like last year, at two o'clock in the morning that day, the Ping'an Brigade lit a long dragon of torches with the brigade headquarters as the center. Almost all the men and women in the village came just for this annual event.
After gathering, Li Fugui led the group and they walked out of the village in a lively manner.
This year, at the suggestion of the old village chief, the winter fishing team of the Ping'an Brigade drove a tractor because they harvested too much last year and almost couldn't pull any of it back.
Several leading cadres discussed it and decided to simply drive a tractor and wait on the shore this year. If the ox cart could not pull it, they could load the cargo directly onto the tractor to avoid being in a hurry and causing delays.
The one driving the tractor today was Lu Wensheng. She was wrapped in a thick fur coat with only her eyes showing, and she kept driving forward with her scalp down.
It was such a cold day and Ma Yingjie wanted to be cheerful, but before he could even open his mouth he was rejected by Lu Wensheng.
She was protected by the wood spirit, so of course she was not afraid of the cold. It was now thirty or forty degrees below zero, and with Ma Yingjie's tiny arms and legs, they would be frozen stiff by the time they reached their destination.
As a result, Lu Wensheng led the way, while Lu Hao and old village chief Shen Lingling sat in the tractor bucket wrapped in thick quilts, each holding a hot water bottle to keep warm.
Behind them were a row of ox carts and donkey carts, the most eye-catching among them were Lu Xie and Chen Cheng riding on horseback.
They have been here for a few days and have been following Li Sihai around the mountains recently, catching a lot of prey.
Especially Lu Xie, he didn't catch up with last year's winter fishing, so he came back early this year. As for the black market...
Don’t we still have Monkey and Three Dogs? If worst comes to worst, we still have the fire-breathing man and the two brothers who can break rocks with their chests. They have all been trained, so it doesn’t matter whether we have him or not.
"Old Lu, come with me to Beijing after the New Year." Chen Cheng circulated his spiritual power to dispel the coldness on his body.
He had caused a lot of trouble in the capital this year, and seeing that he was short of manpower, he set his sights on Lu Xie.
Anyway, he will have to follow Shengsheng to Beijing sooner or later, so he might as well go early so that he can help himself!
Lu Xie wrapped himself up like a dumpling but still felt cold. He shivered and asked:
"What are you going to do in Beijing? I have a lot of things to do at home!"
Seeing that he couldn't speak clearly, Chen Cheng secretly took out a kettle from the space and handed it to him:
"Hurry up and drink a few sips, it's still hot!"
It contains spiritual spring water, which can keep you warm after drinking it, but the effect will only last for a shorter period of time.
He had wood spiritual energy to dispel the cold and didn't need spiritual spring water for the time being. Lu Xie just handed him a bottle as he needed it.
Seeing the hot water he handed over, Lu Xie didn't hesitate to grab the kettle and gulped it down.
only……
By the time he realized what was inside, there was only half an empty kettle left. Lu Xie, who had been drinking spiritual spring water for years to prolong his life, of course knew that this was not ordinary water.
He looked at Chen Cheng in shock. Why did this guy give him such a precious thing?
He knew without thinking that this must be the life-saving water that Shengsheng gave him. Now that he drank it, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Take it back now! How can you let me drink this?"
As he said that, he threw the kettle in his hand back to him.
When Chen Cheng saw him like this, he knew he had misunderstood. He must have thought that he was reluctant to drink it and left it for him.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng smiled and threw the kettle back:
"You're cold, so keep it and drink it slowly. I still have some. Are you going to the capital with me or not?"
There was plenty of spiritual spring water in his space. When he came in the summer, Shengsheng didn't know what the wind was blowing, but he bought a dozen large water tanks and placed them in his space, filling them with water.
It wasn't until winter that he finally finished drinking it, and he filled it up again just a few days after he arrived.
Fortunately, there is a time-stopping function in this space, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to do this.
Of course, he couldn't possibly tell Lu Xie about this.
Hehe, let him misunderstand, it won’t do any harm to me anyway.
Lu Xie was still immersed in the emotion of Chen Cheng giving him the spiritual spring water. When he heard Chen Cheng ask again, he spoke without thinking:
"Go! I'll go wherever you go."
It’s just a trip to the capital, he is very familiar with the capital!
"Okay, it's settled. You can't regret it." Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"Whoever regrets this is a bastard."
Lu Xie took another sip of the spiritual spring water, squinted his eyes and felt the heat flow in his body. He felt so comfortable that even the cold wind blowing towards him felt much warmer on his face.
You know what, Old Chen is really nice!
