Xiyue had just returned home when it suddenly started raining heavily outside.
Xiyue discovered that the sky outside was obviously much darker.
Some of the glowing plants are more energetic and brighter than usual, while others are much dimmer.
"Oh, Qing'er hasn't come back yet." Naru said anxiously, standing under the tree hole.
Xiyue felt more and more uncomfortable looking at Naru's appearance.
I came back wet from carrying water, and I didn't see her ask me.
"Xiyue, go find your sister outside the city." Naru said anxiously.
"I'd better go."
Heenan came down from the tree, put down the tools in his hand, went into the house to find something like a raincoat, and then hurried out.
Xiyue covered all the water tanks. Since it rained, the stove outside could no longer be used. Even if Xinan built a shed above, there was still some leakage.
After entering the tree hole, Naru kept the house clean and tidy.
Facing the door in the house, there is a fireplace made of stone, and on the other side is a pot stove, which is the kind of earth stove used in rural areas in previous lives.
Xiyue went over and prepared to light a fire there to cook.
It was raining outside, so Xiyue came into the house to cook, but Naru didn't stop her. Instead, she sat aside and did needlework. Xiyue saw that it was the fabric she gave to Xiqing, and Naru was making underwear for her.
First boil a large pot of hot water, and Xi Qing will definitely have to scrub it when she comes back.
Families in the trees rarely cook indoors. They all build their own earthen stoves on the ground outside.
Safety is on the one hand, and on the other hand, because there is no natural phenomenon such as snow in winter, the occasional freezing rain is not difficult to endure, so many people do not need to prepare special heating items.
When the weather gets cold, just make do with it and wear thick animal skin clothes. The most indispensable thing in this world is animal skins.
In fact, Xiyue couldn't understand why handicrafts were relatively good but industry was far less convenient even if civilization regressed, but there were so many magical things in this world.
She went to the town and observed, but there was not even a piece of soap or soap.
There are also a wide variety of bricks, tiles, and pottery, and the furniture styles are also very retro, and some of them are very beautiful.
I've never seen anything else except iron.
There are many decorations, utensils and utensils made of animal bones and natural stones.
There are actually crystals, gems, corals, and pearls in the jewelry. There are still no gold and silver jewelry, no jade, and no jade.
Also, I haven’t seen rapeseed oil. There is a lot of oil made from animal fat.
And there are no kerosene lamps or candles.
Many people will use mild and harmless luminous plants as lamps, and directly introduce the vines into the house, which is really using local materials.
Fortunately, there was fine linen, otherwise there wouldn't even be a window screen.
The colors of cloth are also very rich, because there are so many plant dyes, and the rich know how to extract and dye cloth.
Some good ice silk is as beautiful as satin!
Although this tree hole cannot be seen, even though it is empty inside, it is still towering and full of life.
So, this world is really magical!
In its own way, it nourishes the life of this world!
There is no cultivation, no magic, and there are no elves or orcs, a more fantasy species.
Humans are humans and beasts are beasts!
So far, Xiyue has not even seen a single person of Western ancestry in her previous life.
In the world without light, there is no lack of brilliance of plants.
It's just that human beings live like ants in the woods, like a dreamy fairy tale, it's really too fantasy.
It was the first time for Xiyue to use the large stove in a tree hole, which still seemed strange.
After a while, Xinan came back with Xiqing on his back, and Xiqing's face was a little pale.
"Oh, what's going on?" Naru asked worriedly as soon as she saw Xiqing's pale face.
"It's okay, my ankle is sprained." Xinan replied, but Xiyue noticed something was wrong with Xinan's eyes.
Xihe was also a little anxious and said: "Xinan, go ask the doctor to take a look at your sister."
"oh."
"It's okay, dad. I just fell down. I think it's okay. I'll be fine tomorrow." Xiqing was also a little different from her usual coquettish complaining to Naru. She said very obediently, with joy in her tone.
.
Logically speaking, she sprained her foot and should have cried when she got home. Xiyue looked at Xiqing with some confusion, thinking she was very weird.
However, Xiyue didn't care too much. She cooked wheat, rice and meat porridge. She didn't eat much at home. She hadn't gone out to sell pepper yet, so she just lived a simple life.
Xi Qing originally wanted to say something, but when Xi Yue was there, she said nothing.
It was still raining outside, so Xi Qing was finally carried back to her house by Xi Nan, who then brought her hot water.
Naru felt worried and went to Xi Qing's room.
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm really fine." Xiqing lowered her head and said with a blushing face.
"Honestly, are you hiding something from your mother?" Naru looked at her daughter with a cold face.
This girl crawled out of her belly, and she didn't know her little thoughts.
Xiqing's face turned red, she carefully looked outside, and then whispered a few words in Naru's ear.
"What? Are you crazy? You don't want your reputation anymore?"
Xiqing bit her lip: "No one else saw it. Anyway, I was just pretending to see what Baiyi's character was like.
She saw me falling in a ditch and pulled me up, and then she carried me back when she found out I had sprained my ankle.
Besides, after my eldest brother left, it was my eldest brother who carried me back to the village, and Baiyi left us separately to avoid suspicion."
"That's not okay. You are a man and a woman alone. You wet your clothes again and he looked at you." Naru was very angry.
"Mom~" Xiqing coquettishly said, then blushed and said: "Mom, in fact, apart from the scar on his face, Baiyi is a good person. Among the young men in the village, he and Wuchen are the most skilled.
Bai Yi Niang is much better than that old witch Hei Yun, my daughter, my daughter wants to marry Bai Yi."
"What? You, are you okay with your brain? What's the difference between Bai's family and your uncle's family? How heavy is the burden if the whole family is counting on Bai Yi alone." Naru became angry when she heard her daughter's words.
Baiyi is a nice person, but everyone in the village knows the situation of Baijia, and they are not willing to marry a girl and suffer.
The whole family was too lazy to wake up from hunger, so they ordered Baiyi to do their bidding.
"Mom, just find a way to separate Baiyi's family in the future. Aren't we separated?" Xiqing said nonchalantly.
"What's the matter? Your grandparents are no longer alive, and Baiyi's parents are still alive. How could the family be separated?
I don’t know how many years I have to wait for the separation.
Once you get married, you will be your daughter-in-law, so it depends on your mother-in-law. I don’t even have a mother-in-law, and I have been bullied by your aunt for so many years." Naru said disapprovingly.
"Mother~" Xiqing said coquettishly: "I don't care, mother, think about it carefully, Bai Yi is a good person and has good skills. Although the family is counting on him, it also proves that he is capable.
Our two families live next to each other now, and I will be 18 soon. If I marry and live next to your parents and live close to each other, and you don’t dare to bully me in their home, it will be no better than if I married somewhere else.
OK?
Besides, isn’t my family now in the pepper business? I’ll definitely make a lot of money by the time I get married!
You give me a generous dowry, and I have a dowry of light and stone, so Bai Jiachao will have to look at my face to live his life.
Anyway, I just think Bai Yi is good. In fact, if it hadn’t been for what happened to Wu Chen and my sister, I would have liked Wu Chen a lot. But I didn’t expect him to be that kind of person!
In comparison, it's still pretty good. Where can you find someone who is really capable?
Also, I found that my eldest sister and Baiyi are a bit close, and they often stick together.
Mother, are you willing to watch my eldest sister marry Bai Yi, and then how will our family, Bai family, and Wu Chen family get along with each other in the future?"
