At 11 p.m., it started snowing heavily.
The snowflakes fell thick and fast, covering the ground layer by layer until it was completely covered.
Downstairs, Mo Rongguang was arranging for people to keep watch at night. At this crucial time, the insulated shed couldn't be allowed to collapse under the weight of the snow; it needed to be cleaned regularly. The roof also required constant cleaning…
With Uncle Mo around, she really had much less to worry about.
"Miss, is your air conditioner not working? I brought a few heaters, would you like me to turn them all on?"
Xu Jingzhi shivered as she carried the heater upstairs. The temperature in the south was below minus twenty degrees Celsius; it was truly cold, her bones and flesh trembling. Even though she had put on two down jackets, she was still freezing.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhi."
The temperature dropped too quickly, and apart from the room, no heating equipment was turned on anywhere else. Xu Jingzhi's lips turned purple from the cold as she walked along.
"Quickly get under the covers, I'll put them on for you. Oh, and I'll find you another blanket later, so you don't get cold."
Her hands were frozen, and Xu Jingzhi's movements were somewhat sluggish.
"Aunt Zhi, this is hot enough, why don't you come to bed too?"
Xu Jingzhi quickly refused: "No, no, I feel like an ice pop right now, don't let it freeze you."
"Don't worry, Aunt Zhi isn't cold."
Qin Su's eyes were a little sore as she watched Xu Jingzhi install the heating equipment and then cover her with a down comforter.
"You get some rest, Aunt Zhi will go outside and take another look."
It was too cold, and she was still worried about the crops, the animals, and the other people...
"Aunt Zhi knows you're worried too. Take this with you and watch Aunt Zhi's live stream."
Qin Su was given a phone, and she didn't know who had put it there, but it was able to livestream at this time.
Xu Jingzhi left in a hurry and soon arrived at the backyard.
Inside the greenhouse, the crops that had been cared for by mice were still growing vigorously.
The livestock had been driven into the barn, where charcoal had been set up. However, it seemed to have just been lit, as the animals weren't in the best condition, but they looked like they could pull through.
Wait, what's that on the roof?
On the roof, something that looked like a spider was moving back and forth, and the snow was quickly cleared away wherever it passed.
"Hehe, Miss, that's a snow-clearing robot that Master Huo worked overnight to develop. That way, we won't have to brave the cold to clear the snow."
Xu Jingzhi explained.
Huo Sijin can do this too?
Qin Su didn't know much about technology, but was this thing really that easy to make? Could it be finished overnight?
"Master Huo is still drawing up blueprints, saying that he wants to install heating. When that happens, the resort will be able to burn less charcoal and make more places warm."
She had considered this method before, but the extreme cold came too quickly, and she didn't have a chance to implement it.
But does Huo Sijin also install heating systems?
"Alright, Miss, everything is safe at the resort, so don't worry. You should get some rest, and I'm going back to rest too."
After Xu Jingzhi finished speaking, she cut off the video.
Qin Su was also tired and slowly drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, she returned to her past life. An extreme cold suddenly descended, and she was so cold that her whole body was covered in frostbite. She finally managed to treat someone and received a down jacket, but Qin Shiqu took it and gave it to Qin Xiaoru.
"Sister, it's not cold, why are you shivering all over?"
Wearing two down jackets, Qin Xiaoru asked her with a "naive" look on her face.
"Sister, why don't you go out and find some supplies? You won't be cold if you keep moving around."
With that, Qin Xiaoru pushed her out of the house.
"Sister, you absolutely must find the supplies, otherwise Dad definitely won't let you in the door."
She stood outside, her whole body numb with cold. At that moment, she even hallucinated, thinking that her mother's warm smile appeared before her eyes.
Inside the house, however, came sounds of laughter and cheerful conversation...
She felt incredibly cold; the cold wind made her feel as if her blood had frozen...
The bone-chilling cold jolted her awake from her dream. Feeling the warmth of the room, she slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Qin Xiaoru, I hope you can continue to live. After all, you have done too many evil deeds. What you have suffered so far is far from enough to atone for the hatred in my heart.
Unable to sleep, Qin Su simply entered her spatial dimension.
Inside the space, the supplies that were sent out are still recovering, but the recovery rate is getting slower and slower.
Those insulating films, for example, have only recovered less than halfway, and there's a strong indication that they're coming to a halt.
Daily necessities are also recovering slowly; most have been restored, but there's a sense that things have stalled.
There's plenty of meat and crops, after all, the farms and fields in this space produce a considerable amount.
It seems that, apart from meat and grain, we can't get any more supplies out of the country.
We don't know the conditions for restoring supplies. If we did, we could guarantee that supplies would be sufficient.
But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.
Forget it, there's enough space and so many supplies, enough to feed the entire resort for several lifetimes. Being too greedy is wrong.
Taking advantage of her time inside the space, she tidied it up again, harvesting the rice that needed to be harvested and slaughtering the animals that needed to be slaughtered.
She was busy until dawn when Xu Jingzhi called her for dinner, at which point she finally came out of her spatial dimension.
After a busy night, his face was a little pale. Afraid that Xu Jingzhi would feel sorry for him, he put on some blush before going out.
I thought it would be cold when I opened the door, but the hallway was just as warm as the room.
"Master Huo is really capable. He installed heating pipes all by himself in one night, and he even installed them in the entire corridor and the restaurant area."
Is she really that capable?
As we walked towards the restaurant, it was indeed as warm as springtime.
"Miss, it's too cold outside now, you absolutely must not go out again."
Xu Jingzhi couldn't help but remind her, "In the past, every time Miss went out, her face was frighteningly pale. Going out in this weather, wouldn't she lose her life?"
"Okay, Aunt Zhi, I'll stay at the resort from now on and not go out."
Qin Su obediently agreed.
With her frail body, how could she dare to challenge the extreme cold? She didn't want to end up like she did in her previous life, freezing herself into a cripple.
"Okay, okay, staying home is the right thing to do."
Xu Jingzhi said happily, "Then Aunt Zhi will cook you something good to nourish you every day. You should take care of yourself during the winter."
She needs to completely restore the young lady's health.
Qin Su sipped her hot porridge and looked out the window. In just one night, the snow had already piled up to a meter high.
I wonder when this snow will stop. I remember in my previous life, the snow was five or six meters deep, and we had to dig tunnels to go outside.
Beneath the ice and snow, many people, lacking supplies, resorted to dirty business.
In this life, with the city's management, order was relatively stable. But with the snow, the city's limited manpower simply couldn't keep up. Even with the army, there weren't enough soldiers.
If someone causes trouble, I'm afraid we still won't be able to control it.
