Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 22. Goggles

The result of Goggles letting her sister-in-law and her best friend play wildly was that Cheng Xi was forced to listen to the gossip all night.

  The daughter of the old bamboo craftsman's family married into the next village. Uncle Wang made a fire bed for five or six families in the village. The Shen Daqing family next door started to branch out again

  . Cheng Xi was so sleepy that she nodded her head to the ground. She stayed up late in her previous life and accumulated all the money. More than ten years of experience left her defeated.

  "Wait a minute, what do you mean another branch has branched out again?"

  There are about 500 people in Shenjia Village, and most of them are surnamed Shen. Except for the sixth uncle, who has a relatively strong network, the other families only have a few dozen people. scale.

  Because of this, the position of chief of the Shen clan fell to their branch.

  "There are two people in Shenjia Village. Now the elder brother and the other one naturally carry the expectations of the villagers."

  "Is that Shen Ziqing?"

  "It's him."

  The little girl was unconvinced, "Aunt Zhang now says that her son can do it when she meets people. After she becomes a high official, she will be a royal wife or something, and her tail is almost raised to the sky."

  Cheng Xi glanced at her, as lost as a defeated dog, with drooped ears, lifeless and sullen Feeling a bit unconvinced and aggrieved.

  The words that reached her ears were probably processed, and the original words were probably even worse.

  But...

  "Don't worry, she won't dare say anything in front of you in the future."

  That knife was not in vain.

  Shen Xingqi looked at her sister-in-law in confusion, and then looked at her brother when she saw her face was determined.

  Not only did Shen Xingluo not get angry because of Aunt Zhang's words, but she smiled slightly with the corner of her mouth raised.

  She: "?"

  The small mountain village was completely silent at night. In ancient times, there were no entertainment programs. Every household would choose to take a rest after eating when it got dark.

  The entire Shenjia Village was silent.

  And the heavy snow that had stopped for a day fell quietly again this night, with a devastating momentum. The alarm in the

  ***

  space rang on time at 7 o'clock in the morning, waking up the sleeping owner outside.

  This is the latest feature discovered by Cheng Xi.

  Her guess was correct. The few herbs smuggled in yesterday caused the thick fog in the space to disperse another fifty meters, and even a small piece of black land appeared.

  This also strengthened Cheng Xi's desire to explore - who knows what will appear next time the thick fog clears?

  While other members of the family were washing up, she disappeared into the farmyard.

  There seemed to be something attracting her in the space, the black land outside the villa.

  "So what exactly is grown here?"

  Since the black soil appeared only after bringing in medicinal materials, Cheng Xi decided to plant all the medicinal materials smuggled in here, especially the two small ginseng plants.

  Just do it. She took the tools and carefully selected the location to bury the kudzu root and ginseng. Finally, she sprayed some water with the water bottle.

  Hmm. It looks much better this way.

  Although the small leaves of ginseng are still withered and yellow, they at least look alive with water drops.

  A great sense of accomplishment.

  As soon as Cheng Xi stood up, he heard an exclamation coming from outside the space.

  "What's wrong?"

  "It's snowing, so heavy snow!"

  Shen Xingqi was standing at the door. A lot of snow outside had sunk in because of the sudden opening of the door, and the outside of the house was already completely white.

  The area shoveled out yesterday was filled with snow again, and the thickness of the snow was even thicker than yesterday.

  Cheng Xi took a few steps forward and looked outside. His eyes were completely white with no color, and his eyes had a faint tingling sensation.

  "It's just one night, but it's raining so hard?"

  The snow outside has reached the window, at least half a meter high, and the overwhelming snowflakes outside are still flying, showing no intention of stopping.

  Shen Xingluo came out from the other side, his expression gloomy and unclear.    

  "Eat first."

  Cheng Xi glanced at him and then moved his gaze to the iron stove in the living room.

  I filled up the charcoal before going to bed last night. Was it a coincidence or a plan?

  The atmosphere at breakfast today was a bit depressing. Even Shen Xingqi realized that the heavy snow was unusual and couldn't help but look outside while eating.

  "Brother, with such heavy snow, the road must be difficult, right?"

  "You want to go to Fucheng?"

  "It's not me. Yesterday Xiaoyue said that she planned to go to the embroidery shop to buy some cloth and embroidery thread today."

  "It's still raining outside. If it is not necessary, no one will go out."

  As everyone knows, the heavy snow has just begun. If the importance of food storage has not been discovered at this time, it will only become more and more difficult in the future.

  As Shen Xingluo expected, other people in the village gradually discovered the situation outside after getting up.

  Those who had not gone to Fucheng to buy food in the past two days originally planned to go out today, but quickly gave up the idea when they saw heavy snowfall.

  "Forget it, the heavy snow will fall on your body and you will get soaked quickly." "

  That's right, the cotton-padded jacket will be useless by then."

  "There is snow on the road, and it will definitely be difficult to walk if it is deep and shallow. Besides, Let's go."

  "Wait until the snow stops before going!"

  Shen's courtyard.

  After dinner, the three of them started shoveling the snow.

  When Cheng Xi went out, he had three more things in his hands and stuffed one into each person's hand.

  "These are glasses. I bought them at the grocery store in Fucheng a few days ago. They can protect my eyes."

  She first picked up a pair of goggles and put them on the bridge of her nose. Most of her face was covered in an instant.

  It's weird, yet somewhat good-looking. In short, it's very novel.

  The Shen brothers and sisters looked at her, one thoughtful and the other surprised.

  "What are you looking at me for? Put it on!"

  Shen Xingluo was silent for a moment and took the lead in putting on the goggles. Because of the shielding of the lenses, his eyes that were about to shed tears were much better.

  It turned out that

  "this is specially used in snowy weather?"

  He understood the function of goggles after a little thought.

  Bai Xue seems innocuous but has a great influence on people. In previous lives, many people had difficulty seeing after snow disasters, and even doctors didn't know how to treat them.

  Cheng Xi didn't know that he was thinking a lot at this time, and nodded and explained, "Heavy snow can easily cause snow blindness, which means that your eyes will be uncomfortable if you look at the snow for a long time."

  She put it on Shen Xingqi, and the little girl's face instantly became small. nose and mouth.

  "With this layer of lenses, there will be no impact when looking at the snow."

  "Really! My eyes were crying just now, but they are much better now."

  Because of this, the three of them can work more efficiently. It's exciting - in fact, wearing goggles is a bit novel, almost treating work as play.

  The snow in the yard was too thick. It took nearly two hours to clean up the yard this time, and the snowdrift under the east wall was also cleared away.

  Many people outside were doing the same work as them, and every household began to shovel snow.

  Cheng Xi rested for a moment and took out a machete from the west room.

  "I'll go to the back mountain to chop some firewood and come back."

  The charcoal at home was enough to survive the winter, and she spent a lot of silver at that time, but she always felt a sense of urgency when she saw the snow getting heavier and heavier.

  The snowstorm has just begun. Who knows what it will be like in the future?

  It's always good to have extra supplies.
