Chapter 150 Everyone is freezing to death, but you still have firewood?
Xie Chen led the exile team and climbed the mountain without stopping.
It gets colder as the night progresses.
Xiangying took advantage of this break to make a cup of brown sugar ginger water in the space.
I drink it whenever I have nothing to do. The pain in my lower abdomen is always with me, but it is much better than yesterday when the pain was so severe that I felt like I was dying.
She stopped by to see how the reconstruction of the cartoon characters' homes was going.
The houses in Shacheng are all made of brick and earth. The advantage is that they can prevent sandstorms, but the disadvantage is that they cannot withstand the rain at all.
But after all, Sand City is located on the edge of the desert, so rain is naturally not common.
However, houses made of brick and earth are difficult to defend against enemy attacks.
Xiangying remembered something and her eyes lit up slightly.
The requirement for upgrading the eleventh floor is to consume wood, so if she uses it herself, it will be counted as consumption, and giving it to the cartoon figure should also be counted?
Thinking of this, Xiangying has already arranged the conveyor belt work.
Throw out one tenth of the stored wood at once.
The cartoon characters found wood falling from the sky and were grateful.
After a round of kowtowing, they divided the work, cut the wood, and then pulled it back to the city together.
Xiangying watched them busying around with satisfaction, when suddenly, the whistling sound of the wind forced her out of the space.
She lay on the wooden cart and looked out through the curtain.
Everyone on the entire hillside was using their arms to shield themselves from the sudden strong wind.
Xiangying narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant mountains where the dawn light was faintly visible.
Only then did I realize that Xie Chen had been leading the exile team and marching for a whole night without rest.
"It's so cold!" Taoxue, who was following the wooden cart, shivered and hugged her arms.
At this moment, someone shouted, "What is that falling from the sky?"
Xiangying looked up and watched the white fragments falling down.
She stretched out her hand, and a cold snowflake fell into her palm and quickly melted.
Xiangying exclaimed in surprise: "It's snowing?!"
Almost at the same time, many prisoners exclaimed the same way as she did.
Immediately afterwards, many people became excited.
After all, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty was located in the south, and it rarely snowed in winter.
The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, who had rarely seen snow, cheered and jumped for joy, as if they had seen something extraordinary.
What's more, they opened their mouths to catch the snow, extremely excited.
Taoxue hurriedly closed the curtain to prevent Xiangying from looking out.
"Princess, it's really cold. Please don't freeze anymore."
Xiangying reminded, "Take out the thick cotton clothes I prepared for you and put them on the children when we find a place to rest later."
Old Mr. Lin looked up at the falling snow, sighed softly, and frowned his gray eyebrows.
Xiangli said beside him: "Mr. Lin looks a little worried?"
Mr. Lin nodded and said: "The reason why the Bugui Mountain in Mangzhou is called the forbidden mountain by the locals is because the four seasons are reversed and disordered."
"At the rate it's snowing, if we can't find a place to shelter and keep warm within an hour, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
The pace of the exiles' advance slowed down.
Firstly, the wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and the horses could hardly move.
Secondly, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and many people were shivering with cold.
It was clearly early morning, but there was no sunlight to be seen. All one could feel was the falling snow, landing on everyone's head.
The thin clothes could not keep out the cold at all, and the prisoners who had cheered for Bai Xue just now no longer felt happy.
Shufei and Defei suffered the most.
As luck would have it, they both had their periods at the same time, and it was like a heavy hemorrhage, more severe than any previous one.
The two of them supported each other as they moved forward, and they were almost unable to walk anymore.
Concubine Shu said weakly: "Sister Concubine De, please don't drag me. I can't walk fast like this!"
Defei looked at her resentfully and responded weakly, "Sister, why are you talking nonsense? It was clearly you who was pulling me."
They both let go of each other at the same time, but were in so much pain that they couldn't stand anymore, so they had to hold on to each other again.
Concubine Shu looked ahead and said, "I don't know where Qianqian has gone. She didn't even come to help me, her mother, at this time."
She looked back again, originally wanting to place her hopes on Zhao Bingyang.
Such a ready-made coolie was used to carry things and bags along the way, like a little eunuch.
But at this moment, Zhao Bingyang was also holding his stomach and walking with the wooden stick he had just picked up.
He fell to the ground several times and was whipped by the captain, forcing him to stand up and move forward.
I really want to die! He gritted his teeth and endured it.
Concubine Shu was dissatisfied and said sarcastically, "My sister Concubine De and I are not feeling well, so we are walking slowly. How can a man like Prince Zhao feel sick like us?"
Zhao Bingyang raised his head, his lips pale: "Madam Shufei, I really feel uncomfortable, I am not pretending."
As he spoke, he felt more unbearable abdominal pain.
It’s really strange. Concubine Shu and Concubine De are women, so it’s not strange for them to have pain during menstruation.
But as a man, how could he feel the same pain as them?
The weather was extremely cold and everyone was moving forward against the wind.
Fortunately, after walking for another half an hour, they finally arrived at the abandoned city discovered by the vanguard.
Rather than calling it an abandoned city, it would be better to say that it is a village covering a large area.
There are houses all over the place, and it looks like they have been abandoned for no more than ten years, so some of the roof tiles are still intact.
Xie Chen had already arranged for a scout team to come and clean up.
"Reporting to the deputy general, there are twelve houses available now. The tiles of six houses are damaged, but they can be made do."
Xie Chen nodded, picked a room at random, and went in to take a look at its size.
After he came out, he started distributing directly.
All the military supervisors live in one room. If there are many captains in a team, they live in two rooms.
The elderly, the weak, women and children were picked out and given four rooms, so that five people could live in one room.
Xiangying lives alone with the children, Taoxue and Qi Fengyi in a room.
Xiangli, Mr. Lin, and Supervisor Chu shared a room.
After everything was arranged piecemeal, Concubine Shu and her family were left with only a slightly dilapidated tiled house.
Xiang Qianqian came over with a bag of dry biscuits given by General Ke, and heard Concubine Shu complaining.
"Why are you arranging us to live in a room like this? Won't we freeze to death if snow leaks in at night?"
She turned her head and saw Xiang Qianqian coming back. She immediately chased after her and grabbed her hand.
Shufei's hands were cold and her face was pale, which made Xiang Qianqian shudder.
"Qianqian, go and try to please Military Supervisor Ke again. I think his house is still habitable. Please ask for mercy and bring your mother to live there."
Xiang Qianqian threw her hand away: "Mother, how is this possible? The three people in the room with General Ke are all men."
"Even if we can move in, it won't be good for my reputation. Besides, I just saw that the houses the soldiers live in are even more shabby than ours."
When Concubine Shu heard this, she frowned and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Concubine De.
"Sister Shufei, just bear with it until the snow stops. We won't stay here for too long."
Only then did Concubine Shu swallow her anger and say, "I hope so!"
The exile team rested and adjusted on the spot. Xiangying was supported by Taoxue and Qi Fengyi and got off the wooden cart.
She looked around and couldn't help but let out a puzzled sound.
"It looks like a village suddenly moved away. Did something happen and all the villagers left?"
Frost hung on Tao Xue's eyelashes. She shivered and said, "It must be too cold. Who can stand this kind of weather? Princess, let's go inside."
They helped Xiangying into the relatively clean house.
The little ones volunteered and lined up to get firewood.
Tao Xue and the others were instructed by Xiang Ying to go and see how Xiang Li and the Seventh Princess were settling down.
As soon as they left, Xiangying took out piles of firewood from the space.
I took ten stacks in total!
It will consume 100,000 pieces of firewood, and this is just the beginning.
Feel free to use it, don’t feel bad about it!
Just say that Jie Chen gave it to her, and that would fool the kids.
However, the three little ones came back and started shouting before they even entered the door.
Xiang Yuanxiao: "Oh no! The supervisors found that the firewood was soaked by the snow and couldn't be used to light a fire! We are going to freeze!"
He ran in as he spoke. Unexpectedly, when the three little ones saw the firewood piled up in the corner of the house, their faces froze in shock.
Xiangying retracted his cold fingertips.
Oh no, if the military inspectors can’t use firewood, how can she explain where all this comes from?
