Chapter 246 Two Military Books
Xia family courtyard.
Xia Qingyu sat under a big tree beside the well to enjoy the cool air. There was a small wooden table next to her, with a bowl of cold mung bean soup on it.
He held a straw fan in his hand and fanned himself non-stop.
He really couldn't understand why it was still so hot even though he was fanning himself non-stop!
It was quite cool here a few days ago, why is it so hot now?
God is really something. He says it will rain when it wants to and it will be scorching hot when it wants to. The weather changes faster than his face.
Liu Youran and her two daughters-in-law were in a cool place, weaving straw hats and mats.
Because the weather was too hot, the people building the house had to stop work. There was nothing we could do because we were afraid they would get heatstroke!
"Grandma, your beloved little grandson is back. Come and see what we brought back."
Xia Qingyu stopped fanning herself when she saw the three little ones coming back skipping and dancing.
He gritted his teeth and sneered, "Well, these little bastards actually dare to come back."
If he doesn't beat them up so badly today that their parents won't recognize them, he won't be called Xia Qingyu.
The three little ones poured all the cicadas in their pockets onto the ground.
"You naughty monkeys, where did you get so many cicadas? Go wash your hands quickly and drink a bowl of mung bean soup first. Let's see how hot you are."
When Liu Youran saw her three little grandsons coming back, she quickly put down the half-woven straw hat in her hand and got up to find a towel to wipe their faces.
Seeing this, Zhuge Pei put down his work and hurried to the well to take out the mung bean soup that was cooling in the water.
"Mom, come drink the mung bean soup later. I'll wash these wild fruits and send them to my aunt to eat."
"I'll go help!"
"Wait, I'll help too!"
The three little ones looked at Xia Qingyu who was walking towards them with a dark face. The little ones who originally wanted to give the golden cicada in their hands to their uncle ran away in a flash.
The wild fruits that the three little ones picked for their aunt were unique, big and beautiful. After washing them, they looked juicy and very tempting.
Xia Xing'er is now in her cabin, thinking about how to store ice in the hot summer.
But after trying several times, it still didn't work.
She searched through the books in her space again, and thankfully, she found an ancient method of making ice in a book.
That is to use saltpeter, commonly known as saltpeter, to condense it into ice.
However, this method requires a huge amount of saltpeter, and the process is very complicated. What is produced is only ice chips, which cannot achieve the effect she wants.
Xia Xing'er wants ice.
She thought that as long as she could make ice cubes, everyone would have a better summer, it wouldn't be so hot, and they would be able to live comfortably.
Xia Xing'er thought of using the formations from the world of immortal cultivation and combining them with ice making to create an ice formation.
While eating the fruits brought by the three little ones, she kept flipping through books and studying attentively.
The three little ones saw that their aunt was busy, so they sensibly did not disturb her. After putting down the fruit, they quietly came out.
"twitter--"
As soon as Jin Chan cried out, a chubby little hand covered his mouth.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go back to playing with the cicadas. They're making too much noise and disturbing my aunt from reading."
"Okay, then let's make a few more slingshots, at least one for each person, to make sure none of them can disturb my aunt."
"Have we forgotten something again?"
"No matter what you forgot, it's not as important as beating Chan!"
The three little ones took the woven cages, drank the mung bean soup handed to them by Zhuge Pei, and went out to hunt in the wild with the equipment they had prepared.
As a result, the Xia family had a sumptuous banquet in the evening.
Cut off the head and tail, leaving only the meat on the back. Whether it is braised or stir-fried, Liu Youran can cook it with ease.
The only regret is that the adult insects are a bit old. They are delicious whether they are roasted or fried.
When Liu Youran was a child, he followed his father everywhere, sometimes sleeping outdoors and having to eat all sorts of food.
Have you eaten insects, scorpions, crabs, and even mice?
At this moment, the three little ones only knew that fried silkworm pupae were really delicious. Tomorrow they would not kill cicadas, but would catch silkworm pupae.
At the end of the corridor, Xuanyuan Yi finished his shower and wore a half-dry undershirt with a black coat on the outside.
His lean and upright figure had a certain laziness that was not usual, like a bewitching enchantress, handsome to the extreme.
He knew that Xia Xing'er was reading a book or studying something.
I couldn't disturb her, so I could only stand in the corridor and look at her room.
Xia Xing'er looked up inadvertently and saw a handsome man standing by the railing in the corridor. His eyes were extremely gentle and the wind gently blew his hair. This amazing scene could basically be painted.
Xia Xing'er's originally calm heart began to beat like a deer.
She always knew that Xuanyuan Yi was good-looking, but she never expected that he would be so handsome after removing his cold appearance.
Xia Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and her fatigue from a hard day's work disappeared in an instant.
Xuanyuan Yi took in all of Xia Xing'er's performance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose up, showing Xia Xing'er a charming smile.
Xia Xing'er felt her face burning hot, and she quickly closed the window, muttering to herself, "Beauty is misleading, beauty is misleading!"
After calming down for a long time, Xia Xing'er finally settled down and continued to study the formation.
When Xuanyuan Yi saw Xia Xing'er closing the window, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.
He turned and went back to his tent.
Seeing two military books on the table, he thought of how Meteor winked at him in the evening and said that he had found two good books for him and had put them in his tent, and also told him not to forget to read them.
It seemed that these two military books were brought by Liuxing for his patrol. Since Liuxing said that these were good things, Xuanyuan Yi paused and walked over.
He picked up the military book on the table and looked at the cover. It was just an ordinary military book, nothing special.
He suddenly remembered the winking look on Meteor's face, and intuitively felt that this was not a good thing, so he wanted to throw the book away.
But for some unknown reason, I couldn't bear to throw it away. Driven by my curiosity, I opened the book.
The ambiguous and bizarre fire-avoiding picture catches the eye.
Xuanyuan Yi's hands trembled, and he was so scared that he almost threw the book in his hands away. His handsome face was covered with red.
I had seen this picture by chance before, and at that time I just thought it was boring, but now it seems that the little people in the picture automatically changed into my and Xing'er's faces.
The picture instantly becomes vivid, as if it is alive.
Xuanyuan Yi's heart was pounding like a drum, and a wave of heat spread directly to every limb of his body. He couldn't suppress the restlessness in his body no matter what he did.
