Chapter 72 Great
Large flakes of snow fell from the sky, mixing with the night and obstructing the view.
Diao came out of the kitchen carrying hot water, squinted her eyes and looked up.
"Go check the roof tomorrow. It looks like there's a dent in it. I don't know how long this snow will keep falling. Don't let it collapse again..."
She walked into the main room while mumbling, only to find that Yang Yi was not there.
Even County Magistrate Xue disappeared without a trace.
Diao couldn't help but wonder: "Where are they?"
"Ah," Chen Chunxing took the hot water and said nonchalantly, "Master Xue has been traveling all day and must be tired. He's going back to his room to rest first."
Diao glared at her and snorted, "What about Yang Yi? Go to bed first?"
Chen Chunxing nodded seriously: "Yes, it's warmer when two people sleep together."
Diao: “…”
If you ask her one more question, she will be a fool!
It just so happened that the three children came back from sending someone off.
Chen Chunxing poured some hot water and asked the two boys to stay and wipe themselves. He then brought some water and took Chen Zhixia back to the house.
"I didn't expect that this person who came from the capital is just like us country people and doesn't like cleanliness." Diao closed the door and said deliberately sarcastically.
"Yes, yes, you should criticize him properly tomorrow." Chen Chunxing hummed perfunctorily.
"How dare I, an old country woman, tell the county magistrate what to do! Although we have come to the north, we still have to abide by the rules. You, just behave yourself. I don't ask for wealth and honor, I just hope you can be safe." Diao's tone was reproachful, and there was something hidden in her words.
Chen Chunxing looked up at the sky.
It was pitch black.
Only the moonlight hidden behind the dark clouds reveals a glimpse of hope.
She nodded slowly and said softly, "I understand."
Many times, there is no need to be too clear.
No one is a fool.
Her grandmother was a very wise person, but she just trusted herself too much.
What Chen Chunxing had to do was to live in peace and safety, just as Diao had wished.
While it was still hot, several people quickly washed themselves and rushed into bed.
Soon, the sound of steady breathing was heard in the courtyard.
The sudden cold snap plunged the entire narrow village into silence.
And now outside the village.
On a low hill.
There was actually a person who squatted lightly on a dead tree covered with snow.
The brown patterned clothes he was wearing blended perfectly with the bark.
It is really hard to spot in the dark night.
At this moment, the man wrapped his clothes and looked around vigilantly.
After a long time.
Suddenly he cursed under his breath: "Damn it! It never ends!"
Before he could finish his words, he leaped up a few times and disappeared into the night, leaving no trace behind.
It was quiet all around.
For a while.
Just now, someone strode over here, looked around, and then stretched.
Xue Yongan looked indifferent.
Without his beloved girl watching over him, he seemed to have lost the mood to pretend.
After casually sweeping away the snow with his feet, he took only a few quick glances and determined the direction.
However, he did not rush to track down, but turned around and walked back.
When indecisive, never retreat even when you know it’s difficult.
It's really stupid.
Xue Yongan was sure that the man would not go too far.
If you want to play cat and mouse with yourself in the snow, you have to see if the hunter agrees.
——
The next day.
Chen Chunxing opened his eyes with difficulty and found that the room was still pitch black.
She felt dizzy and as if she had slept too much.
He tilted his head to look around.
Shen Zhixia hugged her arms like a cub, but her big eyes were fluttering, indicating that she had woken up long ago.
"Isn't it daybreak yet?"
Shen Zhixia shook her head, reluctantly let go of her hand, and leaned over to push the window open a little.
All I could see was a sea of white.
The dazzling sunlight sneaked into the house.
It turned out that the snow had stopped.
The sky was already bright.
"How rare! No one came to wake you up today?"
Chen Chunxing sat up and rubbed his aching neck. After he put on his clothes and stood up, he inexplicably felt his legs go weak.
Only then did I realize something was wrong.
She didn't sleep too much, she just caught a cold.
“It wasn’t so easy to get sick before.”
Shen Chunxing laughed to himself, told Shen Zhixia to wear more clothes, and then slowly walked out of the house.
The yard was quiet.
Even the villagers outside seemed to have disappeared overnight.
She went to Diao's room first and found that the old lady was still lying in bed.
"Milk?"
Diao was pushed awake and opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing light coming in through the crack in the door, she sat up in surprise.
"How long have I slept?"
"Not long," Chen Chunxing touched her forehead, then touched his own, "It's okay, no fever. Let's make some ginger soup later."
Although the Shen family prepared new quilts, they underestimated the strength of the North.
Just one snowfall plunged the entire village into depression.
After waking everyone up, Diao cooked a large pot of ginger soup and gave each child two bowls of it.
Looking at the sun again, it was almost noon.
In the past, greetings would be heard from the village as soon as the sun rose, but today no one came.
Diao's heart sank. She untied the cloth, gave a few instructions, and hurried out.
"I'll go see Doctor Chang... If someone like me can fall ill in our current circumstances, I'm afraid other families are in even worse shape. The village work is almost finished, so I don't want anything serious to go wrong before the New Year!"
"Oh, right, go wake those two up... You're a grown man after all, why is your health so poor..."
Shen Mingqiu, who was pointed at, took a bite of the wowo calmly.
The hot brown sugar filling filled my mouth.
He finished one, took another, and then slowly stood up to call for help.
Shen Chunxing boiled some hot water, filled the hot water bottle, wrapped it in leather, and stuffed it into Shen Zhixia's mouth.
"Don't burn him."
Shen Zhixia and Shen Yandong sat together and nodded when they heard this.
A man had a furry little animal sitting in his arms, and then was roasted by the fire, and the ginger soup immediately made him sweat slightly.
When he saw Shen Mingqiu really calling people out, Shen Chunxing, who was leaning against the door frame, was stunned for a moment, tilted his head to look behind the three people, and raised his eyebrows inquiringly.
"Did you two sleep well?"
Xue Yongan nodded: "Excellent."
Yang Yi went to the kitchen to fetch salt water and handed a bowl to Xue Yongan. He took a big gulp and spat it into the corner. He added slowly, "Doctor Chang didn't sleep well."
Chen Chunxing: “?”
She really wanted to ask, what does this have to do with the old man...
But he was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back by Shen Mingqiu.
"They slept very well." The brat winked.
The tone is flattering.
Chen Chunxing slammed him onto the table with his backhand, expressionless: "I paid you to find a teacher, and you only learn this from me?"
Chen Yandong shook his head for her, "No!"
Shen Mingqiu stuffed the steamed bread into his mouth and puffed out his cheeks to look innocent.
Just then.
The unbolted door was suddenly pushed open.
Doctor Chang rushed in anxiously, "Where are those two brats from your family? Tell them to come out and see me!"
"What the hell, just squatting in the snow for two hours! What normal person would do that?"
"Why did you pick up that abnormal thing? Even though a doctor is kind-hearted, you can't just grab a sheep from me and pluck it!"
