Chapter 41 Weather Changes
Thinking about the heavy snow and the sudden drop in temperature in the future, there will not be much wood to be cut in the wild. In order to keep warm, I have to stock up some charcoal or coal. Now I have enough money. Although there are better heating equipment in the mall, it requires thousands of points to redeem it.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuetang went to buy a lot of dry firewood and honeycomb coal, and also went to the blacksmith shop to buy a few iron stoves and a few ironsmiths.
So much firewood and coal is enough to last for a year in the snow-capped mountains. Then he went to the cloth shop and bought 20 kilograms of scraps of cloth. After settling down in the cave, he asked his two sisters-in-law to make some thick gloves for him, which can keep him warm in the snow-capped mountains.
After wandering around in the county town for most of the day, Wu Yuetang bought everything he could think of, even dinner, two freshly-baked roast ducks and some dough, so he could finally have a rest in the evening.
When the sun set, Wu Yuetang drove the carriage out of the city. The carriage was only filled with some rice, flour and oil to accommodate the elderly couple at home, and the rest were stuffed into the space.
When we returned to the camp, the sun had already set and it was dark.
"Mom and Dad! Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother! Big Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law! Let's eat roast duck!"
As soon as Wu Yuetang jumped off the carriage, she couldn't wait to put the roast duck in front of the people and shook it. Li laughed and scolded her for wasting money, but when she saw the crispy and oily roast duck skin, she swallowed unconsciously.
"Little sister, since you started working, the food at home has become better."
Wu Yongqiao smiled naively while eating and said that even though his mouth was full, he still had space to talk.
The second sister-in-law hit Wu Laoer and said, "Just enjoy your meal. This is what my younger sister bought in the county town. Don't waste it while you're talking."
"Yes, life has indeed become much better since the girl changed. Although we have fled from famine, we always feel that we don't want to be on the road again. We can have enough food and drink every meal at home."
Wu Shoutian was also very pleased. Not to mention, Wu Shoutian and Li seemed to have fewer wrinkles after being fed delicious food by Wu Yuetang.
Wu Yuetang was very proud. It seemed that dietary supplements were really useful. However, her third brother was still too thin. He ate a lot. Where did the meat go?
Wu Zhiyun noticed the gazes on him, and when he looked back, he saw Wu Yuetang's slightly inquiring eyes.
"What's wrong, little sister?"
"Third brother, you said you eat a lot every day, but why don't you seem to be gaining weight or growing taller?"
"Little sister, don't worry. I will definitely be tall and strong in the future. I will definitely be able to protect our family."
Wu Yuetang looked at his confident third brother and sighed helplessly. However, a few years later, Wu Zhiyun's height increased rapidly and finally stopped at 1.9 meters. There was no trace of his childhood in his figure. He grew up to be tall and strong. But that's a story for later.
After dinner, there were no troublemakers today, which was a rare occasion. Everyone was distributing supplies according to the list. Most villagers chose to buy some food rations and almost no other daily necessities.
"Wu Yuetang! Come and pick me up! I can't walk anymore!"
The Wu family, who were chatting after dinner, were stunned when they heard the call. Wu Yuetang was also confused. The voice sounded a little familiar, but she couldn't react who it was.
Wu Yuetang walked down the mountain following the sound, and after taking a few steps, she saw Qi Yu, who was panting with exhaustion.
"Why are you here? Aren't you at the foot of the mountain?"
"Hoohoo... Hey... My mom went to town today and bought some desserts. She asked me to bring some to you..."
The little fat man said breathlessly, handing over an oil-paper bag.
Wu Yuetang looked at him with amusement, took the oil-paper package and opened it to see that it was filled with exquisitely packed peach blossom cakes, osmanthus cakes, and whole packages of brown sugar.
The Qi family is indeed a business family, they have a perfect grasp of the ways of the world and human relationships.
"Master Qi, are you still able to walk? Come up and sit down. I'll get you something to eat."
When Qi Yu heard that he had to get some food, he instantly became energetic. He was so tired that he almost knelt on the ground, but now he stood up directly.
"I can walk!"
Wu Yuetang couldn't help laughing, turned around and walked back with him.
He came to the Wu family tent and introduced Qi Yu to his family. Then he took him to the back of the carriage and pretended to take something out of the carriage, but actually took out two Ferrero Rochers and a can of Pepsi from the space.
Because it was just taken out of the refrigerator and was still a little cold, when Qi Yu took it, he felt his body temperature drop instantly.
"Wow, it's so cold and comfortable! What is this?"
"You can eat and drink all the delicious food and drinks here. This thing is too rare. Don't tell anyone when you go back."
Wu Yuetang trusted the young master who loved eating, but she was still cautious. If she let him take the food back and was seen by some people, she would be in trouble.
Qi Yu ate quite fast. He finished two Ferrero Rochers in just two or three bites, and then sat there in a daze with the can of Coke.
Wu Yuetang took it, pulled the ring, and there was a "sizzle" sound, the kind that comes with Coke. It was pleasing to the ears and made people feel relaxed. Especially when he smelled the carbon dioxide in the air, it was so refreshing.
Qi Yu took a shallow sip, and his eyes lit up instantly. He held the can and gulped it down. In just a few blinks of an eye, he finished it. "You drink so fast, don't you feel bloated?"
"No, this sugar water is so delicious! It's really good for cooling down the fever!"
Qi Yu smacked his lips with an unsatisfied look, and looked at Wu Yuetang eagerly, his eyes full of: Give me another bottle, please.
Wu Yuetang simply ignored him. He was obviously about the same age as her, but was born into a wealthy family. Why did she feel like he was her younger brother?
"Okay, let's go back after eating. Our family is also going to get ready for bed."
Without waiting for Qi Yu to refute, Wu Yuetang turned around and walked down the mountain. She did not return to her tent until Qi Yu disappeared.
The family members were still sitting on the floor chatting, no one knew what they were talking about, when a slight cool breeze blew across Wu Yuetang's cheek.
Then there was an intermittent breeze that blew continuously through the mountains. When the wind died down, the temperature returned to the unbearable heat.
"Dad and Mom, did you feel the wind just now?"
"Yes, there was a breeze just now, it was really cool."
Wu Shoutian didn't care much and took puffs of the welding cigarette in his hand.
Wu Yuetang walked to the back of the camp and stood on the edge of the mountain looking at the starry sky. He could not see a single star. The moon was round and big, and there was nothing unusual to see.
Suddenly, a few gusts of wind blew over, and the coolness in the wind was even more obvious when standing on the edge of the mountain. Wu Yuetang looked at the bright moon like a round disk in the night sky and frowned.
The environment in ancient times was not polluted. It was impossible to see a single star in such a hot summer, not to mention that we were in the mountains.
There is only one reason. It is likely to rain during this period and the night sky should be covered with dark clouds.
If we start heading into the mountains early tomorrow morning, we can reach the mountains next to the county town in two or three days. I hope the rain will fall after we find a place to stay.
