Chapter 214: Signs of the End



The cold on the ground had no effect on the cellar at all. Xiu Yan helped Ji Nuan down to his own cellar. The temperature here even made Ji Nuan feel like she had returned to the spring of her previous life.

Xiu Yan held a small torch in his hand, and Ji Nuan followed him towards the innermost corner, where she stored the crispy and sweet fruits.

Xiu Yan pursed his lips and pointed with his slender thumb at the sweet and crispy fruit on the mound in front of him: "There are so many small buds growing. Didn't you say that such sweet and crispy fruit can't be eaten?"

Ji Nuan motioned Xiu Yan to squat down. The light from the torch illuminated this small area. Indeed, many green buds had grown on the crisp and sweet fruit, which made Ji Nuan happy.

She turned her head happily and looked at Xiu Yan: "This means the sweet and crisp fruits have begun to sprout. The sprouted sweet and crisp fruits can be planted in the ground. We can have lots of sweet and crisp fruits to eat in the future."

Looking at the lively face of the little female, Xiu Yan felt relieved. Ever since the execution of Manli, the little female had been looking a little depressed. Now there was finally something that made her happy, and Xiu Yan also grinned and smiled foolishly.

The two beasts spent an entire afternoon hauling in some soil from outside, scattering the hills of crisp, sweet fruits on the soil, then sprinkled a little water on it, and finally covered the top with another layer of soil.

Ji Nuan patted the dirt off her hands and felt much more relaxed instantly. She looked at the pile of sweet and crisp fruit seeds happily and hummed in her heart: Farming makes me happy, farming makes me happy!

"A Nuan? A Nuan? Are you there?...Hey, why are there no beasts?" Qi Mo's voice came from the yard. Ji Nuan quickly climbed up the ladder and stuck her head out.

"I'm here, Xixi, what's up?"

The sudden sound startled Qi Mo, and she turned around to see Ji Nuan slowly emerging from the ground.

"I was so scared, why did you suddenly come out from underground?" Qi Mo pouted and touched her chest as if she was a little frightened.

Ji Nuan laughed and said, "I just went to the cellar to check out the sweet and crispy fruit. Why are you looking for me now?"

Qimo rubbed her head and said, "The little girl's butt was a little hot, so I took her to the witch doctor to get some bitter water for her to drink. When I came out, the witch doctor told me to ask you to go to her place."

Ji Nuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you. Go back and take care of the little one. I'll visit you tomorrow."

Watching Qi Mo's figure disappear at the gate, Ji Nuan sighed, turned into the house to wash her hands, changed into a clean animal skin suit, and walked towards the witch doctor's house.

When we arrived at the witch doctor's house, Uncle Ge Xing was already sitting on the kang eating dried fruits. The witch doctor's grandmother glanced at him with dissatisfaction from time to time, but she did not reach out and slap him like she did before.

There was a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have smoothed out a lot. When he saw Ji Nuan coming in, he waved his hand and said, "Ji Nuan, you're here, come up and sit down."

Ji Nuan smiled, took off the animal skin from her feet, sat on the kang, and then looked at the witch doctor grandma who looked relaxed.

The witch doctor smiled and said, "Are you curious about why I called you here?"

Ji Nuan nodded obediently.

The witch doctor's grandma's smile became more obvious: "Because I received a revelation from the Lord Beast God, the cold season will soon be over!"
