"Little sister, let's go to the fields and get some water. No, it's too hot. The water grandma and the others brought is definitely not enough."
Little Bell felt a little listless from the heat and walked out from under the eaves tentatively.
"Hiss~ It's so sunny!"
She has it so hard.
Why didn’t I know the sun was so strong before?
She simply couldn't bear it, and as the temperature rose and the sun became stronger, she felt more and more that she couldn't take it anymore.
She is a koi fish and loves water. Even now, even after being reincarnated as a human, she is still afraid of drought and exposure to the sun.
It's summer time and it's noon, but I feel dizzy after being outside for less than a quarter of an hour.
"Second brother, how about you go, and I'll go in the afternoon when the sun isn't shining anymore, okay?"
Seeing her pale face, Lin Hao knew that she was really unwell, and nodded quickly, "Okay, then you stay at home obediently, I'll go get some water first."
"Okay~~"
As early as half a month ago, Song Qianzhong and his family had already returned home because it was too hot.
Wu Tongtong also went back to help because Xia Yan was getting further pregnant.
As for Lin Ran, Lin Wu and Lin Ping, they also followed Sun Yongxuan back to continue studying with Huo Qiuyue.
Over the past two months, the learning progress of the two of them and Song Qianzhong can be said to have made great progress.
Zhao and Huo Qiuyue discussed it and decided to send all five brothers to study at Bishui Academy in the second half of the year.
As a result, Lin Hao and Xiao Lingdang were the only ones left at home, which made people feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
In the past two days, rice and wheat have matured one after another, and all the adults in the family have gone to the fields to harvest them. Now only Xiao Lingling is left at home.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Lingling retreated back into the room, closed the door, and performed a cooling spell, and the room instantly became cool.
Xiao Lingling collapsed on the bed, looking hopeless.
"Wow~~~ It's so hot! I've never found summer so unbearable."
She had just felt comfortable for a while when she suddenly heard chaotic footsteps outside.
Little Bell quickly opened the door to let the cool air out of the room and peeked out from the corridor.
"Brother Zhe? Why are you here?"
Chen Zhe saw her upstairs and smiled at her.
"The young master said you're afraid of the heat, so he asked us to get some ice these days. He even dug an ice cellar next door. Look, I'll send some over for you to use first."
Little Bell's face was full of surprise as she looked back.
Sure enough, three or four people were carrying a large vat of ice, which was white and steaming.
"Wow, that's great, Brother Zhe, please bring it up quickly, I'm almost dying of heat."
Chen Zhe smiled and asked people to carry it upstairs.
As soon as a large jar of ice was placed in the room, Little Bell immediately came over.
"Sure enough, it feels comfortable when ice is added."
Chen Zhe rubbed her head and said, "Don't get too close, it would be bad if you catch a cold.
The ice cellar next door is quite large. I'll have some more delivered when Uncle Lin and the others come back this afternoon."
Little Bell nodded and said, "Yeah, I was wondering why so many workers suddenly came a few days ago. It turns out they are digging a cellar.
Brother Yu is still being secretive and won’t tell me. By the way, Brother Zhe, are these ice creams expensive?
"It's not expensive. Our young master found a way to directly master the method of making ice. Now we can make as much ice as we want.
So don't worry about the price, feel free to use it, otherwise the young master will have wasted such a great favor."
Little Bell asked doubtfully, "Favor?"
Chen Zhe was stunned and slapped himself in the mouth.
"Hehe, well, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. If the ice melts, feel free to call me."
After saying that, Chen Zhe ran away, secretly annoyed at his own disobedient mouth.
Although Xiao Lingling was confused, she did not ask any more questions. She looked at the big tank of ice happily and used the cooling technique again.
With this ice, she can use magic secretly in the future. Otherwise, she will be dehydrated and lose a layer of skin after a summer.
So, this ice couldn't have come at a better time.
Little Bell returned to bed and fell into a drowsy sleep.
In her dream, she seemed to have returned to the fairyland, and turned into the little koi in the spiritual pond again, swimming around carefree, feeling so happy.
This sleep was the most comfortable one she had had in the past half month. When she woke up, it was already evening.
Because of the cooling secret, only half of the ice melted.
She raised her hand to freeze the ice and quickly walked downstairs.
Everyone hadn't returned yet, so Xiao Lingling picked up a pot of water from the spirit pond, locked the door, and headed towards the paddy fields.
Looking around, every household in the village was busy harvesting, talking and laughing, it was very lively.
"Oh, what a great harvest today! Look at these rice ears, they're so big and heavy!"
"Who says it isn't? I've been farming for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such large ears of rice. I guess our village will have a good harvest this year."
"That's great. I see these grains are big and plump. I can save them for next year's rice seeds. With this quality, I can make a lot of money even if I sell them."
"Indeed. But I won't sell them. If there's a good harvest, I'll trade them with my parents and send them these seeds. Who knows, there might be another good harvest next year."
"Hey, that reminds me. I'll go back and take a look. If it works, I'll do the same. It's rare to find such good rice seeds these days."
Xiao Lingling walked along the path towards the fields and could hear many villagers talking.
Everyone was talking excitedly, and she was happy to listen to them.
Originally, she had planned to use the water from the spirit pond to cultivate her own fields, but her father Tiandao sent down a rain from the sky, saving her the trouble.
There will definitely be a good harvest, but I don’t know how much the income will increase.
When I arrived at my own field, I saw my grandmother and others bending over to harvest rice.
Xiao Lingling poured half of the spirit pool water in the pot into the half-full jar beside her, then picked it up and shook it.
"Grandma, Mom, come and have a drink of water and take a rest!"
Zhao was busy, and when she heard the sound, she turned around and saw Xiao Lingling standing at the edge of the field, walking towards the shore with the rice in her hands.
"Hey, why are you out in such hot weather?"
Xiao Lingling smiled and poured her a bowl of water. "I came to see you and add some water. Grandma, how long will this take?"
Zhao looked up at the field, her eyes full of smiles.
"Phew, we have another busy day tomorrow. The season is good this year, with plenty of rain. Even though this is our first time planting rice, we can tell the harvest is good.
Even the village chief said it was good. And the wheat harvest was good too. Although it was a bit tiring, I was very happy.
But everyone is busy and some don’t have time to take care of you. Look, your little face has become thinner.
How about sending you to the county to stay with your sister Tong for two days? Let your father take you there tomorrow, okay?"
Just as Xiao Lingling was about to shake her head, she suddenly heard an angry roar of a beast coming from the mountain.
Xiao Lingling immediately looked up the mountain, "Dabai! It's Dabai!"
