After more than ten years of sharpening a sword, I have never tried the frost blade. For the rest of my life, I don’t want to have my weapon confiscated and waved away in disgust.
Caoer showed his teeth and walked out proudly.
In the entire inn, only Yu Sheng dared to tease her about being short. Now Yu Sheng also gave in, and she finally took off her short hat.
Being disturbed by Cao'er, I couldn't continue to climb the hills for the rest of my life. I could only move my body and got out of bed with the help of Aunt Qing.
After lying in bed for more than half a month, Yu Sheng's body was completely rusty, and his legs were trembling when he stood up.
"Slow down." My aunt kept urging me beside her. As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Sheng's body tilted, and she hurriedly helped him up.
So Yu Sheng fell into the arms of his little aunt again, with his head pressed against her chest, and Shopkeeper Yu showed a smile as if his plot had succeeded.
"If you had used these little clever things on the right path, you wouldn't have ended up like this when you faced Niiao." Yu Shiyu folded his arms and leaned on the door, looking at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng, who was pushed away by his aunt, straightened up and said dissatisfied: "Why are there people getting in the way everywhere?"
He straightened up and walked a few steps, gradually regaining the feeling of his body, then walked to the window and opened it, ready to breathe in the fresh air.
However, what came in when the window was opened was not fresh air, but a heat wave, which suddenly transformed Yu Sheng from spring to scorching summer.
"Hoo", Yu Sheng, who was hit by the heat wave, quickly closed the window and turned around to ask his aunt, "Why is it so hot that I slept through the summer?"
Because of the manipulation done by King Donghuang in the inn, the heat wave outside never reached the inn, so Yu Sheng only discovered it now.
"It's not summer, but the end is coming soon." Aunt Qing spent the rest of her life opening the window and pointing her finger.
The scorching sun of Yusheng Ninja poked its head out, and two rounds of scorching sun actually appeared in the sky at noon.
They did not restrain their light at all, scorching the earth, leaving no breeze, no clouds in the sky, and listless leaves.
The lake not far away also changed its appearance at this time. Instead of rising as when Yu Sheng left, the water level dropped, revealing a large area of aquatic plants struggling to their death.
"How could this happen?" Yu Sheng closed the window and asked Aunt Qing.
Yu Shiyu walked in, "I have to ask that old lady of yours who is causing trouble all day long. Only she knows what happened."
Is she your mother too? Yu Sheng muttered to himself and blew a whistle, and the sea mirror that was hidden somewhere whizzed towards him.
Bite your finger and drop a drop of blood, hoping for the rest of your life that some joy will appear in the mirror, but it's all in vain.
The sentence still remains on the sea mirror: Don’t mistake the reflection in the lake for the stars in the night sky.
"What does this sentence mean?" Yu Sheng raised his head and looked at the two of them. Now that Yiyuan has been destroyed, why is there still this sentence on the mirror?
Aunt Qing and Yu Shiyu were also confused. They thought this sentence contained the secret of how to deal with Niao Niao.
Yu Sheng, who was puzzled, had no choice but to give up. He turned to Yu Shiyu and said, "I'm going to change clothes. Please stay away and don't peek."
Yu Shiyu rolled his eyes, "I'm thousands of years old, what have I never seen before, and why would I care to look at you?" He turned around and walked towards the door.
"Mom!" Yu Sheng hurriedly hid the mirror in his arms, "You actually dare to be on an equal footing with King Donghuang. If I hadn't hidden the mirror quickly, you would have been struck by lightning. Please thank me quickly."
"I thank you and your family." Yu Shiyu walked out angrily.
"It's strange, it's the first time I see someone scolding myself."
Yu Sheng turned around and saw his aunt about to go out quietly, so he stretched out his hand to hold her, "No, I just woke up and my legs and feet are not feeling well. If you leave, who will change my clothes?"
With a sound of "Cang", the sword was unsheathed, and the thin sword turned into an oil-paper umbrella swayed in front of Yu Sheng, "He will change it for you!" Aunt Qing glared at him.
After being seen taking advantage of Yu Sheng twice, there will never be a third time. She, the lord of Yangzhou City, also wants to save face.
"Haha, my hands and feet suddenly became sharper." Yu Sheng hurriedly tried to make amends, and then Aunt Qing snorted and left.
When Yu Sheng changed his clothes and went downstairs, he was really shocked when he stood on the wooden stairs and saw that the lobby of the inn was crowded with people from the town.
They drank tea, looked outside and were worried, full of pessimism about the future. The existence of the inn may be the only thing that comforted them.
At least there is a place to escape the heat, so you won't be sunburned or heated to death.
Li Zheng was discussing with Uncle Shi, "Should we still plant this crop?"
With two suns overhead, the fields were drying out so quickly that even the seedlings that had grown up could not withstand the ravages of the scorching sun.
"If you don't plant, what will you eat?" Uncle Shi drank the tea bowl in his hand. "If you don't plant, you will definitely die. If you plant, you won't starve to death if there is a harvest."
Yu Sheng walked down the wooden ladder and adjusted his sleeves, "We can use the lake bed where the water recedes. It's also convenient to get water there."
"Hey, Xiao Yu'er is awake." Everyone smiled when they saw him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yu'er is their last resort. If there is not enough sunshine in the sky and the drought is difficult to solve, they can still ask Xiao Yu'er to worship his mother.
"Okay, no injuries are left at all." Yu Sheng patted his chest.
Seeing that the rest of their lives were fine, everyone brought the topic back to crops. Uncle Shi said: "The lake bed is convenient, but it's a pity that it's too late to cultivate it now."
In the wilderness, vegetation is full of vitality, and only crops need to be taken care of. If you plant crops on the lake bed, before the crops grow, the weeds will probably have already taken over.
"The crops won't work. If the lake water recedes again, we won't be able to grow them even if we reclaim them." Yu Sheng shook his head.
He came up with his own method, "We can grow wild vegetables, drought-tolerant wild vegetables, like pigweed."
Uncle Shi patted his thigh and said, "This is a way."
As an edible wild vegetable, pigweed is extremely drought-tolerant and will not die even if it is uprooted and exposed to the scorching sun for three or four days.
In this situation of two days and the same day, pigweed is easier to grow than other weeds, and does not require much effort to take care of it.
"Pig mother vegetable?" The fisherman showed terrible affection, "It would be better to starve to death, it is too unpalatable."
"That's because you don't know how to cook it. I'll teach you when the time comes." Yu Sheng said. He thought the wild vegetables tasted good and Lao Yu had cooked them before.
However, he was a little worried about his cooking skills. After all, this dish was not on the inn system menu.
Yu Sheng poured himself a bowl of herbal tea and glanced at the door. Hot air blew in, and it quickly disappeared. It was a completely different world inside and outside.
He glanced around and said in surprise: "Hey, where are Baozi and Aunt Ma?"
No wonder Yu Sheng felt like something was missing when he was born. It turned out to be the group of stupid kids led by Baozi.
The fisherman hesitated and said, "They went to the river and the lake bed to pick up fish."
The lake water was receding rapidly, leaving a lot of fish behind. The villagers picked them up and dried them to prepare food for natural disasters.
"Dried fish." Yu Sheng swallowed, sighed, stood up and said to Aunt Qing, "Let's go, I'll make soy sauce fried rice for you later."
…
Outside the inn, Baozi led his grandson and a group of other kids to pick up fish in the mud with bamboo baskets on their backs.
They wore bamboo hats to block the sun and carried large gourds on their backs, which contained cold water from the inn's well. They took a sip when they couldn't stand it anymore.
This water is very sweet, quenches thirst, and tastes sweet in the mouth. It is more refreshing than the iced Coke that I often drank in my previous life.
Therefore, although they were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, they did not suffer from heat stroke. A group of furry children were very happy picking up fish.
When the water in the gourd was about to bottom out, many children carried bamboo baskets and walked back. As soon as they landed on the shore and walked along the road for a distance, they heard the sound of cars and horses.
