Warm season arrives
February 20, Snow Star, Xiaoxi Village.
"Hey, be careful!"
"roar--"
"Bang!"
Bursts of noise came from the east end of the small village. Children were filled with laughter and singing sweet nursery rhymes, "Long ears! Small tail! The snow bunny baby wants to grow taller! He loves to eat vegetables! He also wants meat! Eat well and be healthy!"
"Squeak--" The door of a small wooden house opened, and a beautiful lady walked out from inside, holding a swaddling cloth in her arms. The sunlight shone through, reflecting the chubby little face of the baby.
"Mrs. Tu Luo." Yu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was only wearing thin clothes, but his upper body was already soaked with sweat. "How is Rabbit Baby today? Is the fever gone?"
Mrs. Tu Luo's eyebrows curved, and her face became soft. "It's better now. It was clinging to me for milk this morning." As she spoke, she lifted the baby in her arms forward. "Baby, it was this brother who picked precious herbs for you, which made you healthy. You should thank your brother."
That night, Baby Rabbit developed a high fever, a rare childhood disease. Doctor Ye Zi was so worried that his hair almost fell out. Everyone in the village gathered around, but no one had or had seen the key herbal remedy that could cure Baby Rabbit.
Darkness fell, and in the distance, the howling of wild animals echoed. The baby rabbit had stopped crying, its face flushed red, and its long ears burned to the touch. Mrs. Tu Luo and Mr. Tu Hu were at a loss. When the last villager shook his head and said he had never seen such medicine, the light in their eyes went out.
Finally, it was Yu Sheng who stood up and said to Doctor Ye, "You told me about the appearance and habits of this herb before. I will set off immediately and try to get the herb back within three days!" Doctor Ye could only temporarily save the baby rabbit's life for three to five days, and he would be powerless to do anything longer than that.
When these words were spoken, the whole village was in an uproar. It was still the cold season and everywhere was covered with snow. Where could they find a herb that almost no one had ever seen?
At this time, Frey also stood up and firmly held Yu Sheng's hand, "I'll go with you." Seeing Yu Sheng about to refuse, he said, "My wound has completely healed. It will be more efficient if we work together."
In the end, the people of Xiaoxi Village watched the two young men disappear into the darkness, but a small flame was lit in their hearts.
From that day on, everyone in Xiaoxi Village was worried about the two young men, but things did not go as planned. At noon the next day, a heavy snowstorm broke out. The biting cold wind made the wooden houses shake, and everyone had to burn twice as much flint to barely survive. When they thought that it was Ah Sheng's credit that they had so many flints, they could not stop worrying and feeling guilty.
The heavy snow lasted for two days and two nights. Everyone stared at the dark sky, listened to the howling of the cold wind, and felt despair in their hearts. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Asheng and Axiao are back! Quick! They're back!"
All the villagers rushed to the village entrance carrying quilts, hot water, and fur coats. When they saw the two guys with purple lips, ice chips hanging on their hair, and snow covering their fur coats, some orcs burst into tears on the spot. While crying, they rubbed their hands and feet, using friction to generate heat to reduce the damage caused by the cold to their limbs.
Yu Sheng forced a smile, pulled out a bunch of wilted but well-preserved plants from his chest, and tremblingly said, "Doctor Ye, Doctor Ye, look..."
Doctor Ye, who was used to seeing life and death, felt tears well up in his eyes. He took the plant and said loudly, "This is it! Thank you, you are all good children!"
Tu Luo and Tu Hu even held the baby rabbit and almost knelt down to thank Yu Sheng and Frey, but were stopped by Frey.
Therefore, to the Snow Rabbit family, Yu Sheng and Frey are the heroes and benefactors of their entire family.
The bunny's long ears stood up, and its black, watery eyes stared at Yu Sheng without blinking. After a while, it opened its chubby arms and said, "Um... hug!"
Yu Sheng's cheeks flushed slightly, "I just killed a tusker and it's very dirty, so I won't hold it."
"Ah Sheng! Come here quickly! It's time to share the meat!"
In the distance came the shouts of the hunting party boys.
Yu Sheng responded and ran over. The ten-meter-long long-tusked beast fell in the snow. The whole village gathered around happily. Shuger held a big knife in his hand and gave everyone an equal portion. Even the jumping little ones went home happily with the meat in their arms.
Frey was busy moving wood. The weather was getting warmer recently, so they planned to build a small wooden house. However, the honorable Emperor was obviously not good at carpentry. He could only carry the wood piece by piece and stare blankly at a large box of tools.
Yu Sheng went over, quietly pinched Frey's abdominal muscles, and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry about the wood for now. I'll make you some barbecue."
A dark glint flashed in Frey's eyes. He reached out and grabbed Yu Sheng's restless paws, whispering in his ear, "Tonight... huh?"
Yu Sheng's face flushed, "Get lost! You are not allowed to share a room with others in the future!"
Frey seemed to be waiting for Yu Sheng to say this, "Then wait until our cabin is built, okay?"
“…” Yu Sheng glared at Frey, turned and walked away, and Frey followed him with a smile in his eyes.
The wind lifted the snowflakes from the ground, scattering them high into the air, reflecting the brilliance of the sun and stars. In the quiet creek village, from the rows of small wooden houses, the aroma of barbecue slowly rose, enveloping the village with the scent of happiness. The sun bathed the earth, its warmth melting every snowflake.
This is the prelude to the arrival of the warm season.
As the weather warms up, Wenxing also welcomes her spring. The earth is covered with a colorful coat, flowers, plants and trees are sprouting pointed buds, and the early-blooming cold-resistant flowers are proudly blooming with their fragrance.
"Butterfly! Butterfly!" In the back garden of the palace, a handsome and lovely boy was chasing a colorful insect. Behind him, Anna followed closely, "Your Highness, that's a colorful-winged insect! It stings! Don't touch it!"
Yu Guang tilted his head and looked at Anna with clear eyes. "Aunt, you're wrong. My mother said that the ones with colorful wings flying among the flowers are butterflies, and the ones that sting people are bees!"
Anna had never heard of butterflies and bees. When she heard Yu Guang mention Yu Sheng, she was overwhelmed and hurried forward to hug Yu Guang in her arms, "My little prince, you will be an emperor in the future. You can't chase insects anymore. You have to learn to read and recognize words..." As she spoke, Anna became distressed. It was too cruel to confine such a young child to the room and learn things that even adults could not understand.
What's more, compared to other children, Yu Guang is indeed... slower.
Anna rubbed Yu Guang's head with heartache, and seeing Yu Guang's confused face, she said to him, "Go and play, auntie is watching you, don't run too far, and don't catch bugs." There won't be many opportunities to play in the future, Anna sighed quietly.
Yu Guang turned around happily and ran towards the lake. He liked to pull the dandelions by the lake and blow them to play with them, watching countless dandelion-like petals fly into the sky, just like the story about dandelions his mother told him.
"Hmm!" Yu Guang ran too fast and bumped into a hard leg. He raised his head and met a handsome face.
"It hurts!" Yu Guang could speak clearly now. "You bumped into me. You need to apologize to me!"
Moss narrowed his eyes and looked at the little guy who looked like a radish squatting. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Guang's collar and lifted him up. Seeing Yu Guang's two legs flapping in the air, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Little guy, don't you recognize me?"
Yu Guang was not familiar with Moss, but Moss was very familiar with this little guy. Caesar was busy with manufacturing and research and development, and most of his free time was taken up by this kid, which made Moss very jealous.
"Put me down! You big bad guy!" Yu Guang stared at Moss with gritted teeth. He recognized him! Wasn't this the bad guy who always made trouble when he called Uncle Caesar?
"Don't bully Yu Guang!"
Just as he thought of Uncle Caesar, Caesar's voice came to his ears. Yu Guang twisted his neck to look for Caesar and stretched out his hand for a hug, "Uncle! Uncle!"
There was a gentle light in Xize's eyes. He reached out to take Yu Guang, but was stopped by the weight in his hand and almost fell down because of Yu Guang.
Moss's face was full of disgust. "Don't hold him. This fat boy is so heavy. My hands hurt just carrying him!"
Yu Guang glared at him, "You're the fat one! I'm not fat at all!"
"Hahaha!" Caesar was amused. The sunlight reflected on his face and he seemed to be glowing. Moss was stunned. His expression softened involuntarily and he stared at Caesar in a trance.
He had never known before how beautiful and shocking the moment was when a person trapped in a cage broke through the iron bars and flew into the blue sky.
Now he knows, but... it's too late.
Xize couldn't hold Yu Guang, so he pinched Yu Guang's chubby cheeks. As Yu Guang grew up, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more like Yu Sheng. Now, except for a little more baby fat and more childish facial features, he was simply a smaller version of Yu Sheng.
"You... must grow up healthily." Xi Ze's eyes gradually became dull, and he uncontrollably thought of the times he had spent with Yu Sheng. He stopped crying, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if his tears were flowing back into his body, drowning his soul and giving him a suffocating feeling.
Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng, life is endless, how can you die so easily?
“A-choo——”
Yu Sheng, who was light years away, sneezed loudly, and his nose was covered with blisters. It happened that everyone was sitting around the table eating barbecue. He immediately wiped his nose with his towel in embarrassment, and then took a big bite of the cumin barbecue. It was delicious!
Frey frowned, remembering how he had worked outside in a single layer of clothing before, and said in a slightly lower tone, "From now on, you are not allowed to take off your outer clothes when working."
Yu Sheng touched his nose and smiled, "I'm sweating a lot while working. It's too hot. I won't feel cold if I take off my coat."
Frey said, "That's not allowed either."
"I want to do it?" Yu Sheng asked with a smile. He liked to tease the serious Frey. The expressionless guy looked cute in a different way.
Frey pursed his lips and remained silent. From the stiffness of his face and his slightly narrowed lake blue eyes, every detail told Yu Sheng that Axiao was emotional.
"Pfft, I'm just kidding, haha." Yu Sheng laughed, "Don't be angry, I'll listen to you."
Only then did Frey soften his tone, picking up a skewer of barbecued meat from the table and passing it to Yu Sheng's lips, "Eat meat."
Sugar and the mother-in-law next to them were simply blinded by the two people. The mother-in-law turned her eyes to Sugar, but before she could say anything, Sugar quickly said, "Mom, don't rush me."
Hmm? This answer seems a bit different from usual.
The dull-witted Sugar was as transparent as a mirror in front of his shrewd mother. The grandmother narrowed her eyes and saw that although Sugar still had a silly look on his face, his ears were already red. Thinking back to the time when it was Xiao who went to Doctor Ye's house to apply medicine, but Sugar always followed him, the grandmother thought about it and shook the bear ears on her head. "Suger, if you really have an idea, I support you. Mia is a good girl, but if she doesn't like you, you are not allowed to pester her!"
Sugar was stunned, his face as red as the sunset glow in the sky, "Ah, Mom, how did you know?"
"Pfft..." Yu Sheng couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into laughter, choking on his water. Frey patted Yu Sheng's back helplessly, "Slow down."
Yu Sheng bluntly said to her mother-in-law, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Mia also likes Shuger and has been pursuing him for a long time. It's just that Shuger is too stupid and didn't see the girl's feelings at all. Mia thought he didn't like her."
As soon as Yu Sheng said this, the eyes of the mother-in-law and Sugar lit up. The small wooden house was filled with factors of happiness and hope. Along with the energy jumping out from the nuclear stone, it turned into warmth that gave heat and surrounded everyone.
The warm season is not only the season of spring flowers, but also the season of love.
On March 1, the first spring breeze blew across the snowy earth, embracing the heavy snow that refused to leave in its gentle embrace, blending it with the sunshine.
Thanks to the efforts of Yu Sheng, Frey, and the people of Xiaoxi Village, this spacious three-room wooden house was built next to Sugar's cabin.
Ignoring the objections of his mother-in-law and Sugar, Yu Sheng forcibly built a door between the two wooden houses and asked his mother-in-law and Sugar to move into the two rooms respectively. As for the original small house, he used it as a kitchen and utility room.
At first, the mother-in-law and Sugar strongly objected, but in the end, Yu Sheng said, "If you are so distant, then what about A Xiao and I living here for free for so long? What about the favor you and Sugar saved my life? Besides, Mia and Sugar will be together in the future, and you can't sleep in the same room with Sugar, right?"
The last sentence was like a nail in the coffin for the mother-in-law. After much thought, she was moved by the two young men's gratitude and compromised to move.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
As the snow on the Snow Star gradually melted, a piece of good news reached the secluded Xiaoxi Village:
After many years, the nobles from the central city are finally coming to Xiaoxi Village to select people!
