Chapter 8 Crisis
Xia Daohua's face was distorted due to the pain, and her voice was out of tune:
"Stop it! You're biting my finger!"
Linghua loosened her teeth and let go of Xia Daohua's finger, but immediately bit the candy ball tightly again, showing a big smile, and muttered:
"Sister, you are so nice!"
This little girl usually calls herself Daohua, but now she remembers to call me sister!
Xia Daohua couldn't help but smile.
Linghua suddenly stood up and threw herself into Xia Daohua's arms, stretched out her arms to hug her neck, and with a "paji", left a wet saliva mark on Xia Daohua's face.
While Xia Daohua was distracted, Linghua giggled, turned around and ran away.
The soft little body suddenly pounced towards him, and then suddenly let go and ran away. Everything was so unexpected.
Xia Daohua turned her head away, raised her sleeve and wiped the saliva marks off her face. For a moment she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
…
Without the two children, one real and one fake, who were causing trouble intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang's work efficiency improved a lot when she was with Lihua.
In less than an hour, the two of them had washed all the bedding and clothes in the house that needed to be washed, and hung them on the clothesline in the yard to dry.
Hanging on the clothesline are many sheets, clothes, pants, skirts, robes and the like with colorful patches. When the wind blows, they rustle. The scene is spectacular, just like the flags of all nations fluttering.
The sun was shining, but it was still too cold.
Soon, the wet clothes, which had been wrung out several times, were frozen hard, like ice cubes, and the water drops that seeped down along the texture of the fabric had frozen into tassel-like icicles.
The children passed under the clotheslines, happily knocking off the icicles with their sticks.
Some children even foolishly put icicles into their mouths and ate them as candy.
The summer rice flowers are so beautiful that they are unbearable to look at.
She began to seriously consider whether she should smuggle out some candy balls to give to these little ones to sweeten their mouths?
After thinking for a moment, she decided to forget it for the time being.
It's good for children's teeth if they eat less sugar.
Xia Daohua just stood in the yard for a while, took a few looks, then turned back to the house and continued to warm herself by the fire.
She was wearing thick clothes, so she wasn't very cold, but her head was chilly and she couldn't stand it.
In order to make it easier to apply the medicine, her hair was shaved off; she couldn't wear a hat for fear of touching the wound or getting it stained by the medicine mud.
Jiang specially put a headscarf around her, but in order to avoid the wound, it only slightly covered the lower half of her face. The warmth level was almost negligible.
Xia Daohua went back to the house, but Linghua stayed outside. Zaohua and Liulang from the fifth room were also there. Now that they had a playmate, the older sister who didn't play with them was naturally left aside by the little one.
While rolling snowballs and making snowmen with Zaohua and Liu Lang, Linghua secretly complained in her heart:
"After Daohua injured her head, she became lazy! She even refused to make snow! Moreover, she was willing to eat the candy ball her brother gave her! I'm afraid she really got stupid from the fall!"
Xia Daohua naturally couldn't hear Linghua's thoughts, and she didn't know that the little girl was complaining about how she fell and got stupid. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she happily entered the supermarket.
She checked the remaining balance of her "supermarket coins" and then bought a lot of prepared food and snacks in one go, placing them in the supermarket storage area for her to access at any time.
In fact, the food quality of the Xia family is considered very good among the farmers in Beiguan Village.
Although the staple food is basically coarse grains, there is no meat in the dishes, and the vegetables are basically radishes, cabbages, salted mustard greens and the like, but at least it can fill you up.
However, for Xia Daohua, this food was too hard to swallow.
It's okay to eat it once or twice and change the taste occasionally.
Eating it every day is simply torture!
Xia Daohua hid in the storage area of the supermarket and ate a whole box of chopped pork elbows in one go.
It turns out that in modern times, Xia Daohua prefers white meat. Red meat is mostly steak and lamb legs, and occasionally she eats tenderloin. As for pork belly and pork elbow, no matter how delicious they are, she is not willing to touch them.
The main reason is that the fat content is too high and she feels it is not healthy enough.
Now, after being deeply educated by the ruthless reality, she fully realizes the beauty of fat.
A box of braised pork elbow, with a marked weight of 200 grams, she ate it without anything else, and actually finished it in one go, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
However, Xia Daohua resisted the urge to have a big meal.
She carefully used wet wipes to clean her oily fingers and lips, brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth, and threw the packaging boxes and used wet wipes into the trash can in the storage area before tiptoeing out of the space.
The main room was quiet, with no one in it.
The fire in the small tea stove was still burning brightly, and the branches were rustling.
Bursts of laughter and chatter could be heard from far outside the window, occasionally accompanied by the shouting of Linghua, Zaohua and Liulang.
It seems that the children are still playing in the snow outside and having fun!
Looking through the furnace door at the jumping flames in the small tea stove, Xia Daohua suddenly thought of a serious question: What is the relationship between the flow of time in the outside world and in space?
The Xia family doesn't have a clock, so to know the time, they basically look at the sun during the day and the stars at night, and rely purely on their feel when it's cloudy or rainy. Although there are all kinds of timekeeping tools in the supermarket, they can't be used directly!
Xia Daohua was a little bothered by this problem, but she didn't care much about it.
She is now a little kid sitting on a mountain of treasure! What she needs most now is not to get to the bottom of things or explore the unknown, but to be quiet and well-behaved, grow up quietly, and stay at home.
To this end, she not only has to do her best to act like a normal child, but also has to actively learn about the information of this era.
Now she knows:
The village where the Xia family lived was called Beiguan Village. Beiguan Village was under the jurisdiction of Beiguan Town. Beiguan Town was under the jurisdiction of Beiguan County. Beiguan County was under the jurisdiction of Da Chu and was an important border town in the northernmost part of Da Chu.
Going further north from Beiguan County and crossing eighteen mountain ranges, you will reach the territory of the Northern Barbarians.
The Northern Barbarians would send troops to harass Beiguan County almost every two or three years.
Fortunately, Beiguan Village is located in Beiguan County, a remote corner of the city, and the area is not very prosperous. The most important thing is that the 18 mountain ranges are too difficult to cross.
Therefore, although the northern barbarians often invaded the border, the war rarely spread directly to Beiguan Village.
This information basically comes from the original owner's memory.
Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling when she thought that she was almost sitting on the crater of a volcano.
