Chapter 156 This year's winter will be even colder
The next day.
The weather in this month has not been so cold in previous years, but this year's late autumn is particularly cold, as if winter has come early.
Because it was so cold, they didn't take off their outer clothes at night and just slept like that.
Outside, a fire was burning all night long.
Even so, they would still shiver with cold in the middle of the night.
Especially Song He, when she got up this morning, she found that her nose was a little stuffy, and she knew that she must have caught a cold.
Song He didn't dare to take care of the child anymore. She said something to E Yu who had just got up, and went to find Old Man Xu to get medicine.
E Yu looked at Xiao Sui Sui and Xiao You You who were cradled beside him. The two little guys seemed to be fine, and they were sleeping soundly.
When E Yu was looking at the child, Song Yao opened her eyes.
She rubbed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister-in-law, why are you alone?"
E Yu's eyes moved to Song Yao. "Song He caught a cold and went to the old man to get medicine. Yao, are you okay?"
Last night, Song He and E Yu slept on either side of Song Yao, with the two children in the middle.
So, Song Yao, who was sleeping in the middle, was fine, but Song He, who was sleeping on the side, caught a cold. It was probably because she did not cover herself with the quilt properly at night, which was why she caught a cold.
E Yu continued, "Ayao, the late autumns of the past few years weren't this cold. Why is it so cold this year? It's like winter. We can't keep going like this."
Just now, E Yu went out to take a look and it was still drizzling outside.
It was already cold, and the rain made it even colder.
"Sister-in-law, do you know why this late autumn is colder than in previous years? I looked at the sky a few days ago, and this winter will be even colder. To put it another way, it has something to do with the sun's direct point. Now that the direct point has shifted south, the weather will become colder."
E Yu frowned, "What do you mean by direct shooting? I don't understand a word you said."
Song Yao pinched her brows, sat up, and then said, "Anyway, this winter will be very, very cold, so everyone should keep warm and don't catch a cold."
E Yu was puzzled and asked, "If that's the case, will we still be able to eat the food then?"
Song Yao shook her head. "Isn't our Great Dynasty experiencing drought? The vegetables we bought before were all shipped from other countries. If the weather gets even colder, and the mountains are blocked by snow, I'm afraid they won't be able to buy vegetables from other countries and sell them back. If that happens, we really won't have anywhere to buy vegetables."
Hearing Song Yao's words, E Yu suddenly became worried, "Then what should we do?"
Song Yao sighed, "What should we do? We can only stockpile food for the winter. Only in this way can we have enough food to survive the winter. However, the crops in the space are already ripe. We can store them and buy less."
"Then we have to go to Chang'an. Only in Chang'an can we buy it."
The next place they were going to was Shuangxian Town. Only after passing Shuangxian Town could they go to Chang'an.
However, the weather is already cold enough now. By the time we arrive in Chang'an, it will probably be snowing.
"I'm more curious if Han Ji and the others will let us continue on our journey if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow."
"That's impossible, isn't it? They can hardly walk on their own, so if they try to hurry, wouldn't they be in great pain? Besides, they don't have the money to buy warm clothes. It's so cold, they certainly won't hurry."
"Let's talk later." Song Yao stretched and looked at the two little guys beside her, pursed her lips and smiled, "Look at them, their little faces are red, they are sleeping so comfortably."
Their blush was simply warmth, not a fever.
E Yu stood up and looked at Song Yao. "It's even colder today, and it's still raining outside. You shouldn't go out. I'll bring you food later."
"Okay, sister-in-law." Song Yao smiled at her, "Then go out and prepare the rice soup for Xiao Suisui and the others. They'll need it when they wake up."
"understood."
E Yu put on his shoes and left the tent.
As soon as I came out, I saw Song Zizhou, Song Qing, Song Mingxuan, Song Jingmo and others coming out of the tent next to me.
E Yu walked up to Song Zizhou and said, "Zizhou, I don't understand what A Yao said just now about the direct rays moving south. Anyway, she meant that this winter will definitely be extremely cold. When we arrive in Chang'an, we need to prepare more food."
Song Qing was surprised and asked, "How did she know?"
E Yu replied, "Don't forget, her master is good at observing the night sky. She learned this from him, so she knows that this winter will be particularly cold."
"In that case, we need to prepare more firewood." Song Mingxuan said, "But it's raining today, otherwise, we have to cut down an extra tree and put it in the space. Otherwise, the charcoal will really not be enough."
They have been burning charcoal every day recently. Although they bought a lot, it will definitely not last long if they burn it like this every day.
It’s probably not that easy to buy charcoal now because everyone is cold and using charcoal to keep warm.
Song Zizhou said, "Then let's wait a few days until it stops raining before we go cut down the trees. Get ready and set off this morning!"
Song Qing curled his lips and said, "Brother Zizhou, it's raining. Can't we wait until the rain stops before leaving?"
Song Zizhou glanced at Song Qing and said, "As long as Han Ji doesn't say anything, we have to keep going, understand? Okay, let's go pack up!"
Han Ji was the general who escorted them to Fengzhou. He also had several runners under his command, so no matter whether they moved forward or stopped, they had to keep moving as long as Han Ji didn't give the order.
E Yu then went to ask Chef Zhao to make rice porridge.
When the rice soup was ready, she brought it to Song Yao's tent and saw that the two little ones had woken up. Feng Yingying and Song Yao were changing their diapers.
As for diapers, Song Yao thinks that modern times are more convenient. After all, diapers are used nowadays and can be directly thrown away when they are dirty. It is not like now, where Feng Yingying and E Yu have to wash diapers for them, otherwise there will not be enough.
E Yu sat down and waited for them to change before starting to feed the two little ones.
Song Zizhou and his men had almost finished packing up outside, and the only thing that hadn't been packed up was the tent where Song Yao lived.
At this time, Huaying came into the tent with breakfast.
Today's breakfast is simple, just a tray of buns and some white porridge.
After the two little ones had eaten their fill, the others began to eat the buns and porridge.
After breakfast, E Yu wrapped Song Yao like a dumpling, and wrapped the two little ones in another quilt before leaving the tent.
Song Yao and the others returned to the carriage, and after the rest of the people packed up the tents, they set off for Shuangxian Town.
