Chapter 67 Variables
Early the next morning, both Nanzhi and Shen Zhiyu woke up from the heat.
"Mom, it's so hot." Shen Zhiyu rubbed his eyes, sweat on his forehead and neck.
Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Nanzhi felt strange.
Why is it so hot today?
Also awakened by the heat were other people in Lihua Village.
Aunt Liu wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at Shen Dazhu and said, "Old man, what's going on? Why is it so hot this morning?"
Shen Dazhu was also sweating all over. He looked at the sky outside the window. Where could there be any sign of dawn in the dark sky?
"How come it's so hot now that we've just arrived in Chou?" Shen Dazhu wiped the sweat from his neck and got up from the bed.
"What are you going to do?" Aunt Liu asked with a frown as she watched her old man get out of bed.
"I'm going to see what's going on outside. It's too hot today. Do you want to wipe yourself? I'll get you some water!"
Reaching out to wipe the sweat from her eyes, Aunt Liu wondered, what the hell is going on?
Nanzhi got up and went to the backyard. Her back was soaked with sweat. She had to fetch a basin of water and go back to the house to wipe the sweat off Shen Zhiyu's body.
The well water was still cool, so Nanzhi fetched the water and returned to the room.
She wiped Zhiyu's body, wiped it herself, put the basin on the window, and then fanned the little one to coax him to sleep.
In the wooden basin under the eaves of the backyard, the big river clam felt a little suspicious of the clam.
Why is the weather so hot?
Even if it is completely submerged in water, it still feels like boiling clams in warm water.
Looking at the sky, He Bang's heart skipped a beat.
No matter how it is now, I can only close the clam shell tightly and pray in my heart, praying that when Nanzhi wakes up in the morning, he will remember that he still exists.
Nanzhi didn't sleep well the rest of the night, and it was just after Yinshi when she was woken up.
She only slept for an hour.
Breathing heavily, Nanzhi tried her best to slow down her heartbeat. During this hour, she had a dream that had no beginning and no end, and a dark patch of darkness pressed down from the sky in the dream.
That's all I dreamed about. Trying to recall it clearly makes my head hurt.
Thinking of washing his face to wake up, Nanzhi made a move when he just picked up the wooden basin placed by the window.
She remembered that she had filled half a basin of water last night. Why was the weight of the wooden basin not right now?
Nanzhi looked carefully through the light outside the window and saw that the water in the basin only occupied the bottom.
A bad idea came to mind, and Nanzhi immediately went to the backyard.
First, I opened the wooden board on the water tank. I could faintly see that there was less water in the tank. When the river shrimps saw the light, they all rushed up. As soon as they swam to the surface, they seemed to be scalded by the heat. When they got sick, they could only shrink into a ball.
Seeing the river shrimp in the tank like this, Nanzhi's heart sank, and he turned around and went to the well to take a look. It was not bright yet, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on in the well.
I just took the bucket and threw it down. I was slightly relieved when the water level seemed to have not changed.
There just needs to be enough water in the well, otherwise she and Zhiyu might really die of drought here.
After getting a bucket of water and just about to add some cold water to the clam basin, I heard a knock on the door.
Nanzhi stopped pouring water, put down the bucket, washed the handle, and then hurried to the front yard to open the door.
The river clam was thinking about dying in the basin for a moment. Who is so annoying outside the door?
Nanzhi opened the courtyard door and saw Shen Yuntian and Doudou, one large and one small.
"Sister-in-law." Shen Yuntian tied his coat around his waist because it was too hot. The inner coat was soaked with his sweat and looked like it had just been fished out of the water.
"Yuntian? What is this?" Nanzhi had a question mark on his head. Why did Shen Yuntian and Doudou come knocking on the door of his courtyard this early in the morning?
"I hunted something last night. My mother-in-law asked me to bring you some."
As he spoke, Shen Yuntian raised the dying pheasant in his hand.
"No, no, you take it back." Looking at the pheasant, Nanzhi waved her hands quickly. She just gave him a bowl of rabbit meat last night. How could he accept a whole pheasant?
"Sister-in-law, just take it." Shen Yuntian scratched his head and handed his hand to Nanzhi.
Doudou on the side also nodded: "Aunt Lin, please accept it! Otherwise grandma won't let me and my uncle go home!"
No matter how miserable Doudou's words were, Nanzhi still closed the courtyard door and only said: "I can't accept this. Yuntian, please go back with Doudou!"
The adults and children outside the door looked at each other and at the same time looked at the pheasant in their hands.
"Uncle, what should I do?" Doudou looked at his uncle and was a little worried. Grandma had told them to deliver a pheasant to Aunt Lin. If they couldn't deliver it, they wouldn't be allowed to go home!
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Shen Yuntian was also a little worried. What if he couldn't send this thing out?
He couldn't just throw it in, right?
Take it back and clean it up, then ask Doudou to deliver it, and then hand it directly to Zhiyu and let him bring it back.
With this in mind, Genius Shen Yun took his nephew back home.
This day is also very strange, it is so hot in Yinshi!
After closing the courtyard door, Nanzhi went to the backyard again, changed the water for the mussels, and collected the chestnut noodles dried yesterday before returning to the room.
It was too hot here, so she wanted to go to Dongshan Mountain to enjoy the coolness. Thinking about the cool temperature on Dongshan Mountain yesterday, Nanzhi had some thoughts in her mind.
The six people resting in Qingyun County are not doing well.
They were just afraid that the horses would be hot. They had just traveled all night last night. Who knew that they would be woken up by the heat just after they found an inn to sleep?
"Brother Shen, why is it so hot in your hometown?" Eleven asked looking at Shen Wenchen sitting by the window.
The person being asked was also at a loss. He remembered that the disaster was obviously not supposed to happen at this time, so how could it be half a month in advance?
"Lao Jiu, aren't you hot?" Eleven looked at Shen Wenchen and ignored him, then turned to look at Lao Jiu aside. Why was he sweating all over and he didn't react at all?
"A calm mind will naturally make you feel cooler." Lao Jiu glanced at Eleven who wished he could collapse on the ground.
If he talks too much and wears such thick clothes, it would be strange if he is not hot.
"Brother Shen, how long will it take for us to reach your hometown?" Xiao Twelve held up a fan and fanned the wind fiercely, asking with some despair.
He has grown up in the north since he was a child. Where has he ever experienced such hot weather?
It's only Yinshi now, and based on the temperature right now, if it's noon, a few of them won't be allowed to be dried in the sun?
"If we leave now, we can arrive in the afternoon." Seeing that many vendors were already selling in the streets downstairs, Shen Wenchen tightened his hands.
There are traces of repairs everywhere in Qingyun County. When I entered the store, I asked the waiter deliberately. He only said that the house collapsed not long ago.
But in the last life, I clearly remember that there was no such thing as the Earth Niu turning around...
So if all of this changes, what will happen to Gou'er, a little baby over three years old?
Will...
