Chi Xingyue's consciousness sank into the space, he made a bowl of thick ginger soup, packed some delicious food, and then came out.
A fragrance instantly filled the carriage. Ling Jiheng drank the ginger soup. It was spicy, but his body quickly warmed up.
Chi Xingyue observed Ling Jiheng's expression while eating.
To be honest, she thought about taking Ling Jiheng into the space to rest, but human nature cannot stand the test. Knowing that you can store things and disappear is one thing, and witnessing the prosperity of the space is another.
She didn't want to put herself in danger until she had an absolute way to save her life.
Fortunately, Ling Jiheng did not show any dissatisfaction. He ate the rice with big mouthfuls and asked Chi Xingyue for a chicken leg.
Chi Xingyue granted Ling Jiheng's request and put a juicy chicken leg into his bowl. He also cut two peaches and ate them with a fork.
Fifteen minutes later, Chi Xingyue put the plates and bowls into the space, took out two quilts, spread them out and covered himself with them, ready to go to sleep.
Ling Jiheng adjusted the height of his chair and looked at Chi Xingyue's pale face: "You can go back to the fairyland, you don't have to accompany me!"
Chi Xingyue rolled her eyes, thinking how bad that would be, just like being an ungrateful person. She might even end up resenting him.
So he smiled and said: "No, the little fairy can share the joys and sorrows with you and stay with you until dawn!"
Ling Jiheng raised his hand and touched Chi Xingyue's long hair, feeling very relieved.
Even though Chi Xingyue left, he wouldn't blame her. But her choice moved him.
Just like that, heavy snow began to fall outside the car, and the two people in the car slowly fell asleep.
A tiny gap was left in the rear window to ensure air circulation inside the car. The mist on the window gradually dissipated under the heating.
The night is so quiet that you can almost hear the sound of snow falling.
Chi Xingyue had only slept for two or three hours before she was woken by the cold. She turned her head to look at Ling Jiheng, and seeing that his breathing was steady, she closed her eyes again and sank her consciousness into the space.
After feeding the small animals, I saw the sweet potato and potato vines growing long and green on the land beside the fish pond, and excitedly took a hoe to dig the ground.
In the black soil, potatoes the size of a baby's head were lined up in two rows, and there were also long sweet potatoes in clusters.
Chi Xingyue scraped off about a third of the vines and let the rest continue to grow. The vines weren't wasted either; they were thrown back into the pond to provide a snack for the little cuties.
Then they used a small electric scooter to transport the sweet potatoes and potatoes to the canteen and stored them in boxes.
Chi Xingyue picked up a few sweet potatoes, washed them, and baked them in the oven. During this time, he also used a pressure cooker to make braised pork. When the meat was cooked and the juice was absorbed, he put the potato cubes in it, waited for a while, turned off the heat, and poured it into a basin for storage.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Chi Xingyue went to the bathroom to wash her face. She checked the time. It was 3:30 AM. She rushed out and found Ling Jiheng already awake, staring at her intently.
At that moment, Chi Xingyue's heart was pounding. He raised his hand and patted Ling Jiheng: "You scared me to death!"
Ling Jiheng didn't expect Chi Xingyue to open her eyes suddenly. He was just woken up by the cold and subconsciously checked the condition of his young wife, but found that her breathing was so light that it was almost non-existent, and her body was fragrant.
I immediately understood what was going on. I couldn't sleep, so I looked at her profile eagerly. Who would have thought that before I could do anything shameful, the little fairy would wake up.
Ling Jiheng hurriedly apologized, but as he was speaking, he started coughing.
Chi Xingyue was startled and quickly raised her hand to test the temperature of his forehead. Finding it quite hot, she handed him a paracetamol tablet. Only when he drank it did she breathe a sigh of relief.
The two chatted casually until dawn, and neither fell asleep.
It snowed outside the window all night long, and Chi Xingyue felt like half of the car's body was buried in the snow.
I don’t know what’s happening in Qingshan Village. Will there be a sudden snowstorm like here?
Chi Xingyue was so worried that she didn't even realize it was actually snowing in Qingshan Village.
The Ling family, having heated their kang early, was not greatly affected. But those in the village who were struggling financially, were still struggling to cope, sleeping soundly, their teeth chattering, unable to wake up.
Ling Yi and his companions were very alert. After discovering that it was snowing, they put on their cotton coats and went to each yard to check the situation.
Seeing that there was no problem, he prepared to go back to the house to rest. The moment he turned around, he remembered Chi Xingyue's instructions, paused, and hurriedly took the gongs and drums to the village to remind them.
Once again, the villagers of Qingshan Village were roused from their slumbers, each one irritable. Stirred by the icy air, they suddenly realized what was happening and hurried out of bed to heat the kang, adding more firewood to the mushroom house.
Song Lizheng was worried about the situation in Dahe Village and Shanghe Village, but was embarrassed to trouble Ling Yi, so he asked his son to accompany him on the trip.
After Ling Yi found out, he went home and pulled the ox cart. While the snow was still light, he and Song Lizheng went for a walk.
Many people were awakened from their sleep and fell silent as they watched the heavy snow outside.
Although underground cellars and cave dwellings are better at keeping warm than ordinary houses, they are very prone to gas poisoning. Song Lizheng's arrival successfully saved several families.
It was at this time that Chi Xingyue was surprised to find that the second floor of Nanshan Village Police Station was unlocked.
He looked at Ling Jiheng in surprise, shook his head and said nothing.
The snow was still falling. Chi Xingyue leaned dejectedly against the back of the chair. After a while, he took out some meat buns and filled his stomach with Ling Jiheng.
"I'm sorry for putting you in this situation!"
Chi Xingyue waved her hands, trying to relieve her depressed emotions: "I took the initiative to ask to go to the capital city, it has nothing to do with you.
But if I don't catch up, what will you do? Can you survive until the ice and snow melt with the little stuff in the car?"
Ling Jiheng didn't know, but he was certain he wouldn't be as at ease as he was now. Perhaps he would continue through the snow, waiting to find a solution once he reached the next town.
The snow on the car was getting thicker and thicker, gradually submerging the roof and windows. From a distance, it looked like a big lump, and there was no need to worry about being exposed.
Ling Jiheng felt like going to the bathroom, so after asking Chi Xingyue, he went to push the door. However, the door was frozen shut, and he tried several times, but it wouldn't budge.
Chi Xingyue was dumbfounded. He put the thermometer into the gap of the rear window and saw that the red liquid on it quickly shrank and finally stopped at minus 22 degrees Celsius.
She had measured the temperature just before dawn and it was -11 degrees Celsius. In other words, the temperature had dropped rapidly in those few hours.
Chi Xingyue looked at Ling Jiheng's furrowed brows, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She didn't want to reveal the details of the space, nor did she want Ling Jiheng to solve it in the car.
It would be nice if there was a caravan in the space. Unfortunately, there isn't one, so everything is just wishful thinking.
After about fifteen minutes of stalemate, Chi Xingyue finally made up his mind.
He took out a piece of rag from the space and wrapped it around Ling Jiheng's eyes. Worried that it wasn't tight enough, he also got a hood from the police station and put it on Ling Jiheng's head.
"Um, I..." Chi Xingyue wanted to explain, but Ling Jiheng held her hand: "No need to explain, I understand!"
After all, he would be extremely cautious if he were carrying such a big secret.
