Chapter 8 Crisis



Xia Daohua's face was distorted with pain, and her voice couldn't help but distorted:

"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 murmured:

"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 stunned, Linghua giggled, turned around and ran away.

The soft little body suddenly pounced on him, and then suddenly let go and ran away. Everything was so unexpected.

Xia Daohua turned her head, raised her sleeve, and wiped the saliva marks off her face. For a moment, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

Without the two children, one real and one fake, 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 taken apart and 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 blown by the wind, they rustle, and 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 droplets that seeped down along the texture of the fabric had frozen into tassel-shaped icicles.

The children passed under the clothes-line, and with great delight they broke the icicles with their sticks.

Some children even foolishly put icicles into their mouths and eat them as candy.

The summer rice flowers are so beautiful that you can’t bear to look at them.

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 now.

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 had specially wrapped a headscarf around her, but to avoid the wound, it only covered the lower half of her face. The warmth it provided was almost negligible.

Xia Daohua went back inside, but Linghua stayed outside. Zaohua and Liulang from the fifth room were also there. With a playmate, the older sister who didn't play along was naturally left aside by the little one.

While Linghua was rolling snowballs and building snowmen with Zaohua and Liu Lang, she secretly complained in her heart:

"After Daohua injured her head, she's become so lazy! She won't even bother making snow! And she actually ate the candy her brother gave her! I'm afraid she really must have gone crazy from the fall!"

Xia Daohua naturally couldn't hear Linghua's thoughts, and she had no idea that the little girl was complaining about how she had fallen and gotten stupid. She looked around to see if there was anyone around and happily walked into 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 so she could easily access them at any time.

In fact, the food quality of the Xia family is quite 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 supermarket storage area and ate a whole box of chopped pork elbows in sauce in one go.

It turns out that in modern times, Xia Daohua prefers white meat. Her red meat choices are mostly steak and lamb shanks, with the occasional tenderloin. As for pork belly and pork knuckle, no matter how delicious they are, she refuses 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 elbows, with a marked weight of 200 grams, she ate it without any other food and actually finished it in one go, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

However, Xia Daohua resisted the urge to eat a big meal.

She carefully cleaned her oily fingers and lips with wet wipes, brushed her teeth, rinsed her mouth, and threw the packaging box and used wet wipes into the trash can in the storage area before tiptoeing out of the space.

The main room was quiet and no one was there.

The fire in the small tea stove was still very strong, and the branches made a crackling sound.

Bursts of laughter and joy could be heard from far away 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 speed of time flow in the outside world and in space?

The Xia family doesn't have a clock. To know the time, they basically look at the sun during the day and the stars at night. On cloudy and rainy days, they just rely on their feelings. Although there are various timing tools in the supermarket, they can't be used directly!

Xia Daohua was a little troubled by this problem, but didn't care much.

She was now a little brat sitting on a mountain of treasure! What she needed most right now wasn't to get to the bottom of things or explore the unknown, but to be quiet and well-behaved, grow up quietly, and stay put.

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 a major frontier 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.

The silver lining was that Beiguan Village was located in a remote corner of Beiguan County, not a prosperous place. Most importantly, the eighteen mountain ridges were 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.
