Ling Jiheng was afraid of exposing the abnormality of the little fairy, so he asked Ling Yi and Hong Yu to come over every night to bring her some food and tell her what they saw and heard.
"Master, the land in the county town thirty miles away has already started to dry up and crack. Many families can no longer survive and are preparing to seek refuge in Jiangning Prefecture."
"Grain prices in the county town have doubled, and there are rationing. Many breakfast shops have closed. I asked an old lady near the grain store to help steam these buns."
"Because the nearby rivers dried up, the several deep wells in the county town became a tool for the county magistrate to make money. We spent two taels of silver just to fill these water bags."
"Jinbao has already gone to Youzhou to arrange everything for his master. Yinbao set out from Jiangning Prefecture last night with the supplies and will be able to catch up with us soon."
"Brothers scattered throughout the Great Yong Dynasty have received the letter and will gather within three days. By then, we will do our utmost to escort the Master and the Madam to Youzhou."
Ling Jiheng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ling Yi looked at his master with a distressed look on his face: "Master, this is the ointment I bought at the pharmacy. It's not as good as the one prepared by Doctor Cheng. Please make do with it."
"Ma'am, I have a toothbrush, tooth powder, soap, and some water. Please make do with it."
Chi Xingyue took the small pouch from Hongyu's hand and praised her, "Girls are so thoughtful and thoughtful. Thank you!"
Hongyu's cheeks blushed at the praise, but unfortunately she was hidden in the night and could not be seen clearly.
Ling Yi and Hong Yu completed their mission and left. Chi Xingyue asked Ling Jiheng to help her check the surroundings, then hid behind the grass and entered the space.
There's no other way. If you don't take a shower or change your underwear for two days, it will be painful. Anyone who has tried it will know.
So, even if she risked being discovered by Ling Jiheng, she had to go into the space to wash up, otherwise, she was afraid of getting sick.
Ling Jiheng sensed Chi Xingyue's disappearance the moment she vanished. He was so frightened that his legs nearly gave out, but he quickly recovered and calmly guarded the area.
Ling Jiheng consoled himself by thinking that the little fairy was so capable, she must have returned to the fairyland. She would appear when she was done with her work. All he had to do was provide a good cover for the little fairy.
Although my mind was clear, I was still very panicked.
What should I do if the fairy never comes back?
What if the little fairy did not return to the fairyland but encountered danger?
At this moment, all Ling Jiheng could think about was Chi Xingyue, and he completely forgot about supplies and treasures.
What is Chi Xingyue doing now? Of course, she is visiting her territory.
The two to three hundred acres of land were used for both grapes and cherries. Unfortunately, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival when I traveled through time, so there were only trees but no fruit.
But it doesn’t matter. If you work hard for two more days, you will be able to refresh the apple orchard, date orchard, peach orchard, walnut orchard, and chestnut orchard, all of which have things in them.
Chi Xingyue took a quick look and went back to the office.
Her office is in a room on the second floor of the village committee building.
It's not big, only about ten square meters. In the front is a desk with a computer, a printer, and some documents.
In the middle is a cabinet that stores various files on Nanshan Village's transformation from a poor village to a model village.
Behind it was the bed, a small bed of 1.2 meters, on which was folded a pink floral quilt weighing four or five kilograms.
Chi Xingyue dragged out the small basin from under the bed and brought a toothbrush and facial cleanser to the bathroom inside the conference room.
The bathroom is quite well-equipped with a washbasin, toilet and shower.
The conditions are very good and not often used. It's a pity that there is no water or electricity in the space, otherwise it would be perfect for taking a shower or something.
Chi Xingyue used his consciousness to get some boiled water from the kitchen, then added it to the purified water from the water dispenser in the corner of the conference room. When the temperature was about the same, he began to clean himself.
Although the water in the space is limited, it will refresh. Chi Xingyue doesn't feel sorry about using it to wash his face, take a bath, and wash his butt.
I just feel that using a basin is inconvenient. Not only can I not clean my back, but it also splashes everywhere.
However, being able to wash like this is already a very happy thing.
Chi Xingyue looked at the gray-black water in the basin and couldn't help but sigh that he was really sloppy.
I quickly changed into clean underwear, took a plate of Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce and a plate of casserole cabbage and tofu from the private room, and had a delicious dinner with steamed buns.
Before leaving the space, Chi Xingyue wrapped some salt and sugar in oil paper, packed a portion of cold shredded potatoes, and then left the space wearing some sour and smelly tattered cotton clothes.
Ling Jiheng noticed the movement behind him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The little fairy didn't leave. She poked her back gently with her finger and said softly, "Hey, husband, are you hungry?"
Ling Jiheng walked for the entire day and only drank a few sips of water along the way, so how could he not be hungry?
But he was so worried about Chi Xingyue that he didn't even think about eating. Now that he was asked, he really was starving.
He smiled awkwardly and didn't ask where the fairy had gone. He took the shredded potatoes handed to him by Chi Xingyue and ate the big white steamed buns in his bag.
To prevent him from choking, Chi Xingyue also served him a bowl of tomato and egg soup. After drinking it, Ling Jiheng wiped his mouth and felt extremely satisfied.
However, this is not the point. Chi Xingyue stuffed several pieces of beef jerky into his mouth and asked him to eat them secretly.
"You travel and push the cart every day, so you need to eat well to have the strength."
I'm not kidding. Perhaps I could survive to Youzhou by eating rice porridge. But once my body is broken, no amount of food can restore it.
Ling Jiheng nodded with emotion and stuffed the dry beef jerky into his mouth: "You too, eat more to grow taller."
Chi Xingyue rolled her eyes, thinking, doesn't she know? She knows better than anyone else!
While Ling Jiheng was eating, he put some sugar and salt into the water bag.
Then the grapes that ripened today were brought into the building, as well as the eggs laid by the hens and the milk produced by the cows. They were all placed in the back kitchen, filling up the refrigerator.
After finishing his work, he brought water to help Ling Jiheng brush his teeth, then brought steamed buns back to the base and used the same trick to feed everyone in the Ling family.
The others slept uneasily, always smelling the faint aroma of steamed buns lingering at their noses.
But when I opened my eyes and looked up, I found that everyone was asleep. I rubbed my empty stomach and thought I was just dreaming.
Daybreak brought us back on the road. The scorching sun pelted our skin, leaving many with flaking and blisters. Add to that the chapped lips, and we looked like we'd just left a refugee camp.
Although Chi Xingyue wasn't that thirsty, her mouth was chapped. As she adjusted to her pace, she reached out to pull at the grass by the roadside.
"Xingyue, why are you talking about that?" Shu Muyun felt his throat burning and his whole body felt a little weak.
"Mom, the sun is too strong. I want to knit a hat to wear."
Seeing this, Shu Muyun pulled a handful of straw from the cart and said, "Then teach me so I can make a straw hat too."
