Chapter 482482 The Cold Season Arrives (2)
After Bai Qin left, Xia Tian and Si Ye returned to their daily routine of making various preparations for the cold season.
The day when the cold season arrives is marked by the first snowflake falling from the sky.
At that time, Xia Tian was storing and cleaning the tanned furs. Suddenly, she felt a chill on the side of her face. She looked up and found that the sky, which was originally a deep blue, had turned gray at some point. Snowflakes were falling one after another, becoming more and more dense.
"It's snowing..." Xia Tian murmured unconsciously as she looked at the flying snowflakes.
"This year's first snow came earlier than usual. It usually hasn't arrived by this time yet." Si Ye brought over tonight's dinner and placed it on a small table that had been improvised on the earthen kang. "Come and eat first. It might get colder tonight. I think we can try lighting up the earthen kang."
Xia Tian put down what she was holding and walked over. She hummed, rubbing her hands and said, "I think so too. This cold season has arrived without any warning. I didn't feel cold a few days ago, but who knew it would snow today."
The climate change in the Beast World Continent is very strange. It is extremely hot in the hot season, but extremely cold in the cold season. There is no buffer in between. Even if there is, it is only like this. The temperature drops symbolically in the middle, and then it starts snowing.
Seeing that the snow is getting heavier now, I estimate that by tomorrow there will be a very thick layer of snow on the ground, which will make it difficult to go out.
The temperature will drop drastically tonight, so it is necessary to light the earthen kang.
After dinner, in order to save firewood, the curtain in the cave was pulled, and the light inside was lost. Intelligence followed the heat source in the cave to find a place to sleep.
At times like these, the earthen kang (baked brick bed) really comes into play. Even in the coldest conditions, with the earthen kang burning underneath and the leather fur covering my body, I actually still feel a little warm...
In order to give most of the space on the earthen kang to Xia Tian, Si Ye, who was standing nearby, transformed himself into an animal form and slept alone on the somewhat cold ground.
However, he had accumulated enough fat some time ago, so after transforming into a snow leopard, the fat and fur on his body were enough to keep him in the cave without a kang.
Moreover, there was now a heat source in the cave, and most importantly... the little female was sleeping next to him. The two of them were in a relatively closed space together. Not only did he not feel cold, but he couldn't help but feel a little hot...
A night passed.
Xia Tian crawled out of the warm fur quilt and suddenly had the urge to stay in bed.
On a morning like this after a night of snow, snuggling in the warm quilt and staying in bed is the little happiness of the whole day, so much satisfaction that it overflows.
"The snow outside hasn't stopped yet. I'll go prepare breakfast. You take a rest first." Si Ye still followed his usual life habits and got up early to take care of the housework and prepare breakfast.
Now is the cold season, and all unnecessary activities must be reduced, because calories at this time are easily consumed but not easily replenished.
"Hey, wait!" Xia Tian called out to Si Ye from under the covers, "Can you help me get two purple sweet potatoes from the cellar? Put them next to the fire on this earthen kang, but not too far in. We'll be able to eat them around noon when they're cooked."
