"Truce?"
"Yes, a truce."
This is the most talked about topic in these two days.
"The weather can heat people to death. The soldiers on the battlefield have to cover their armor, and the gods can't stand it."
"Isn't it? It's said that some soldiers have passed out of heat stroke before they go out to the battlefield. How can we fight this battle?"
"This weather is too evil. I remember it was not so hot before the natural disaster. Standing in the sun, I felt I could cook people alive!"
"It's said that it's better in the north. Although it's also hot, it's not as serious as ours."
The speaker showed a bit of envy, and immediately someone sniffed, "why don't you say that it's much colder in winter in the north than we are here, people often freeze to death in the north, and we can't even use warm Kang in winter."
People who hear the words wave their hands, each has its own advantages, but when it comes to where the four seasons like spring are most suitable for people to live, there are none.
It seems that no matter where it is, it's hot to death and cold to death.
Now Xiangzhou has completely entered the day and night reversal of work and rest. People sleep at home during the day and come out at night. Especially at sunrise and sunset, the most people come out.
Although it is hot in summer, everything is growing vigorously. Vegetation is more adaptable to the extreme climate than people. As long as you water frequently at night and don't work lazily, you can't eat up the fruits, melons and vegetables in the field.
So although it's hot in summer, we don't worry about the lack of food. Generally speaking, there are more ways than difficulties. As soon as the weather gets hot, we just move underground.
It's no exaggeration to say that the underground palace, but every family has a cave, and the backers dig caves. If they are lucky enough to find a natural cave, it's comfortable.
Because the natural cave or cave is constant temperature, warm in winter and cool in summer, comfortable to live in.
Even in Xu Qing's house, two underground caves were dug next to the cellar. The rich man's underground caves were square and square with stones, just like a bedroom, with complete furniture.
It's not easy to make it, but it's quite comfortable to live in. The stone bed is cold, and you have to put on a quilt to sleep, otherwise you will catch cold.
Thirty five people live in two underground caves, which are a little crowded. In addition to the difference between men and women, we have to use the cellar beside them.
Now we all sleep in the daytime and work at night. The lights are easy to attract mosquitoes. So at night, we light a fire in front of and behind the house. The fire is used to attract light loving insects. As for mosquitoes, we can only rely on incense.
Fortunately, there are no coconuts coming now. After these two days, we can go home after finishing our work.
Xu Qing and Li Changting give Mao San the things in the house. They all spend the summer in the space. They have to come out sooner or later to see the situation.
It's so hot that Xu Qing estimates that Duanmu Xiang and a Ying should come back, because the village where she bought dried fruit will send dried fruit to us tonight, and these workers will be sent home.
When it comes to going home, everyone is looking forward to it.
That night, Xu Qing received dried fruit from the two most remote villages, which was more than the quantity he had ordered before. Because of the good quality, Xu Qing accepted all the dried fruit and cleared the money and goods on the spot.
In the second half of the night, Xu Qing gave an explanation and went out. In the morning, he brought back half a fan of pork and made a large pot of braised pork as a reward.
Some people are reluctant to eat the braised pork and want to pack it back. However, Xu Qing dissuades them. On such a hot day, the food is very easy to go bad. It's better to eat it as soon as possible.
Everyone had enough to eat and drink, and regardless of the scorching sun outside, they were all in the house, waiting for Xu Qingfa's wages while fanning with banana leaves.
Xu Qing was also hot and sweaty. He asked everyone to line up and get paid one by one. Because he did a good job, everyone got a bonus of ten Wen more.
After receiving the salary, everyone didn't rush to leave. It's a joke. The sun is so poisonous outside. They are afraid that they will fall down before they get home. It's better to wait for the sun to set before they go back. It's about the same time. Besides, they had a busy night last night, so they have to go back to make up for sleep.
After the sun set, everyone came to say goodbye to Xu Qing, but they didn't dare to be close. They said a few words of treasure and left one after another.
A group of people went together, but because their villages were different, they had to leave soon after they left the town.
Xu Qing is a little worried about their safety. They have just finished their work. Everyone knows that these people are carrying money in their arms now. Don't they ask those people with bad intentions to rob them.
For this reason, Xu Qing asked people from Li Changting and Mao Sanhe's Inn to send these villagers along the way. They all worked diligently in her hands, and finally they should be properly settled.
After they came back, Li Changting said that a robbery really happened on the road, but it was a small matter that was solved quickly. Everyone had arrived home safely, and Xu Qing could rest assured.
The house is still a few days away from the lease. Xu Qing and Li Changting are not in a hurry to move out. Because Mao San has completed his contract with Xu Qing, he can't wait to go to the shopkeeper and discuss with the shopkeeper about opening a shop.Xu Qing put the rest of the bagged coconut powder into the space and moved it all to the cellar. The hired stone scoops and stone mills were also brought to the owner. All the staff in the toothshop returned to the owner, and the knives were put away by themselves.
It's not that Xu Qing didn't want to give these knives to those villages, but they are unusual weapons. It's really hard to give them.
Moreover, a knife from a village is not enough for everyone to use. At that time, there may be disputes over the distribution of knives. This is not what Xu Qing wants to see.
Just as the lease term was approaching, Duanmu Xiang and a Ying came back. Fortunately, Li Changting estimated that they should come back these days. They would go out to have a look in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening, which brought the hot and sweaty two people into the space at noon.
As soon as they entered the space, they drank a large cup of Lingquan water to quench their thirst.
"Where have you been?" Xu Qing asked with a smile and asked Li Changting to go to the ice cellar and bring up the newly made yogurt ice cream.
"A trip to Xiangzhou city." Duanmusheng takes off his coat.
Xu Qing was surprised: "isn't that situ Xiao's home? Are you OK there?" Say to sweep an eye a Ying, Xu Qing scolds ground stare to Duanmu ring, "so dangerous place you still take a Ying to go together?"
Duanmu Xiang touched his nose innocently: "recently, there are a lot of vendors going to Xiangzhou city. Situ Xiao is shopping for food to spend the summer. We go in disguise with a caravan."
Xu Qing showed his disapproval: "why do you have to go to that place?"
Duanmu ring: "Ah Ying has never been there. Take her to play. Even if she is found, situ Xiao can't catch us with my ability. There's no need to worry."
