I became an old man in my leisure time

Bai Suqing's behavior did not change much. Read М

She would do things when she had something to do, and take a nap when she had nothing to do. Her physical condition was getting better with the help of Zimai.

The only big thing was that she finally couldn't help but enjoy the big bluestone bathtub that Gu Ke gave her, but it was not the dark and windy night that Gu Ke imagined.

Because there was a rule in the Ancestral Mausoleum Hall that the door must be closed before nightfall, otherwise the hall would become chilly and biting.

But after the door was closed, it could only be opened in the early morning of the next day. During this period, if you were close to the outer wall, your blood would quickly drain and you would feel weak all over.

This situation was the same as the surrounding cliffs.

But if you didn't return to the Ancestral Mausoleum Hall after sunset, but stayed in the wild, everyone would have to suffer from the cold all night.

Most people would get sick after a few days, and Miss Qin couldn't save them even if she wanted to.

So, Bai Suqing took a bath in the afternoon when the four girls of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum left and the sun had not yet set.

Gu Ke took the small oven to the stone platform in the warehouse and put it next to the bluestone bathtub. He had nothing to do.

Xiaoman helped with fetching water and putting the iron pot to boil water. Bai Suqing also had the leisure to use the purple wheat straw in the warehouse to make a simple screen to block the bathtub.

Half lying in the bluestone bathtub, leaning on the slightly higher head, the hot water flowed over the whole body, wrapping every inch of skin meticulously.

Behind her, there was a semi-arc of purple wheat straw that was more than two meters long, leaving only the position facing east, overlooking the plains and the vast sky below the mountain, which was simply too comfortable.

Gu Ke, who stayed in the small hut honestly, naturally didn't know the details of Sister Bai's bath.

But from the fact that she bathed until sunset and rushed back to the ancestral mausoleum on time, she was still very satisfied with this gift.

And she bathed again the next day, but she rushed back to the ancestral mausoleum a quarter of an hour earlier.

What surprised Gu Ke was that after taking a bath, she had a faint grass fragrance on her body.

He was very familiar with it, because it was the fragrance of purple leaf tea.

After asking, he learned that she had a flash of inspiration when she took a bath for the first time, and she took a small piece of purple leaf from the straw screen next to her and put it in the bathtub.

Because the amount used was small and the water in the bathtub was warm, the grass fragrance became very light.

This is not pungent and can remove body odor, which is very convenient.

Gu Ke couldn't help but mutter to himself: Body odor? I don't seem to smell it much.

Then he remembered that he hadn't really taken a bath since he crossed over, and Bai Suqing's body odor was definitely not as exaggerated as his.

When life is forced, who has time to care about body odor.

After knowing this, he accelerated the polishing of the bathtub, striving to enjoy the treatment of purple leaf hot bath two days earlier.

…

On the second day of November, the fifth day after the third batch of purple wheat was planted, Gu Ke's bathtub was mostly completed, leaving only the inner wall part that needed to be flattened and polished.

If nothing unexpected happens, tonight will be a good day for him to take a hot bath.

He woke up early, turned over and got up, and completed the sign-in. The small hut was still so warm and quiet.

It was not until he went over and pinched Xiaoman's nose and mouth, making her face flush and open her eyes, that the new day officially began with the two of them laughing and joking.

In half a cup of tea, the two of them tidied up the floor mat, put on a towel, picked up a large bowl, and then took a can of hot water, opened the door to wash up.

But as soon as the door opened, Gu Ke was stunned. Xiaoman, who was talking to him with her head tilted, saw it. When she turned her head and looked, her mouth suddenly opened into a big O shape.

After several seconds, she murmured: "It's... snowing?"

Thinking of the purple wheat in the field, Xiaoman's heart tightened, and she immediately ran to the edge of the stone platform to check the situation in the field, and she didn't even have time to put down the hot water can she was carrying.

Gu Ke was not so impatient.

According to the sign-in calendar, the winter solstice of the twenty-four solar terms is two days later, and it often snows in the mountains of Xiaoman's hometown at this time.

But there was food at home, so he was not in a hurry.

The sudden sight of snowing only made him stunned for two seconds, and then he noticed something unusual.

There were snowflakes falling in the sky, and the hut was on the hillside, and there was no shelter in front of the door, so he could see far away.

The wind and snow, which were not small to begin with, were sweeping all over the sky, and the entire Yulong Valley was covered with large areas of snow, with small patches of black and green representing plants dotted in between.

However, there was no snow on the stone platform of the hut, and Gu Ke did not feel that the temperature was much colder than yesterday morning.

Looking more carefully, he found that there was no snow falling on the stone platform.

At this time, Xiaoman's surprised voice came: "Ah, ah, ah, there is no snow in the field, not a single snow."

Gu Ke walked over and saw that there was indeed no snow in the field as she said.

Perhaps it should be said that there was no snow in the hut, the warehouse stone platform, and the fairy field under the protection of the system, and the temperature only dropped slightly, but it was still around 15 degrees.

This is not surprising.

Within the protection range of the system, the temperature has always been higher than the outside world, and the fluctuation is not large.

When I got the system hut, the outside temperature was only 10 degrees, but inside it was about 20 degrees.

Now the outside temperature has dropped below zero, but the temperature within the system protection area is still about 15 degrees.

This is one of the reasons why Gu Ke has been worried about snow, but also has hope.

The power of the system is so magical.

Pulling Xiaoman, who was surprised and excited, carefully checked the wheat seedlings in the fairy field, and found no obvious abnormalities.

The third batch of purple wheat has a lot more purple lines on the stalks and leaves, and it has become a little thicker. Obviously, their mutation has not reached a certain limit.

Gu Ke thinks that they should be able to complete the growth, produce wheat ears, and fully mature at about 15 degrees.

After all, this is purple wheat. Under the protection of the system, it is hard to say whether there is still a hibernation period for the original winter wheat.

Even if it really cannot mature, wheat straw is still a high-sugar food, but there will be no harvest of purple wheat, the staple food.

So there will be no total harvest, but only a reduction in production, which is still a harvest far exceeding the cost of seeds - a few thousand kilograms of wheat straw can allow more than ten people to drink sweet soup and purple leaf tea for a year. If this is not a good harvest, what is it?

There is enough purple wheat in the warehouse for three people to eat for decades, and winter is only a few months.

The heavy snow cannot bring survival pressure, that is, boundless beauty, and there is no other feeling except pleasing to the eye.

When Bai Suqing came in the snow and witnessed the magic of the small hut and the fairy field again, the hidden worries disappeared.

The eyes looking at someone revealed unconcealed amazement and deep respect.

Even if the legendary martial saint can split mountains and cut off peaks, divide rivers and intercept streams, it is impossible to do such a miracle.

What else can I do if I don’t admire and respect.

After breakfast, Xiaoman was eager to try, so the three of them put on their straw sandals and went out to walk in the snow.

After just one night, the snow on the ground was not very deep, only about an inch thick.

Xiaoman first made a snowball, rolled his eyes, and threw it at Gu Ke, laughing so hard that he held his belly.

Gu Ke used his black evil palm, as accurate and efficient as turning the soil, and picked up a large piece of floating snow.

With his hands together, a big snowball at least three to five times bigger than Xiaoman's small snowball appeared.
