Chapter 159
Chapter 158
The cold wave will cause a series of negative effects. Transiting along the way will cause a wide range of severe cooling in various places, and even some extreme weather.
For example, heavy snow, wind, frost, etc.
These disasters will have a serious impact on people’s lives.
After the heavy snowfall of the previous two days, light snow began to fall again this morning.
The ground that hadn’t melted thickened again…The excess color seemed to be wiped away, leaving only a white piece.
The streets in the city are even more lonely and lonely.
Not to mention the mountains and forests outside the city, as if they have become a forbidden area isolated from the world, and no one is inhabited.
…………
Paarl mountain.
Xia Zoe braved the snow to check the condition of the planting area.
He has already taken measures to keep warm here in advance-build a greenhouse, lay thin cloth, and take measures to control the temperature…
Every plant needs to be checked every day to ensure that it can grow well in this environment.
Not only that.
This kind of measures to protect plants in winter is also spread through the propaganda of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce and the churches in the territory.
After all, agriculture is the most vulnerable to cold wave disasters.
The existence of food is extremely important to the people.
Today, there is a small problem in the planting area.
The servant who managed the planting area did not dare to decide without authorization, so he reported the problem to Udit, the chief steward of the castle.
Udit reported to Xia Zoe.
So, Xia Zuoy intended to come here in person for some reason.
The problem has now been resolved.
Judit opened the thick curtain of the big shed, opened the umbrella to block the snowflakes, and waited for Xia Zuoy to come out: “Lord.”
Xia Zoe was wearing an ear-protective hat and a thick plush cloak, and even put her hands in a cotton cover that could warm her hands.
Even so, it still couldn’t resist the cold trying to get into the body.
There is a long distance from the planting area to the castle, and there will be a special carriage to send it to you before it snows, so there is no need to walk at all.
But after it snows, the wheels of the carriage will sink deeply into the snow and cannot move forward.
Therefore, the disasters caused by the cold wave will not only seriously affect agriculture, but also affect transportation, sea or river navigation…
Xia Zoe wears boots made of cotton.
Although the soles have been thickened with cowhide, after walking deep and shallow in the snow for a period of time, even the very warm boots become cold and there is no temperature at this time.
He felt that his toes were almost unconscious.
Xia Zoe inhaled the same cold nose, her mouth and chin were all buried in the fur collar of the cloak, and he muffled and said: “Udette, next time I come out, I must bring an egg. Zai and a board, um…and another rope…”
Udit looked suspicious when he heard the words.
——He can understand with the egg waffles, but what are the boards and ropes for?
Although puzzled, the serious butler nodded: “Yes, Lord, I will prepare in advance next time I come out.”
Xia Zuoyi: …It doesn’t need to be so strict. In fact, he is just joking.
The egg boy is so naughty, it is estimated that after pulling the sled, he will be pulled into the snowdrift, and then excitedly plunged into him…
Thinking that it was really possible, Xia Zoe sighed tiredly.
…………
The sound of snowflakes falling on the umbrella, accompanied by the squeaking of feet on the snow, made Xia Zoe a little distracted.
The part of the road from the planting area to the castle is not long, not short, and he walked it soon after all the thoughts in his mind drifted away.
“Lord, the people standing there seem to be… under the crown of the Pope.”
Judith’s slightly hesitant voice couldn’t help but make Xia Zoe regain his senses, and stopped.
He looked in the direction Udit had indicated.
——Pal Lake, frozen and covered with snow, has a different kind of amazing beauty, quiet and empty, just like a quiet painting.
At this moment, a long figure was standing beside the picture scroll.
He didn’t hold an umbrella, but was wrapped in a black plush cloak. Snowflakes fell one after another, spreading a shallow layer on his shoulders.
I don’t know how long I have been standing here.
Judit took a closer look again and confirmed that the person standing by Lake Pal was the Pope.
He said: “Lord, shall we go over…”
The pope doesn’t seem to wear much under the crown, so I don’t know what I’m doing when I stand by the lake… Is it looking at the scenery?
At this moment, it seemed that he was aware of the movement behind him.
The pope turned around, and his golden eyes met Chazoe’s caramel-sweet eyes, and the former smiled.
Xia Zuoy said: “Youdite, go under the umbrella of the servant behind, and give me this umbrella. You can go back to the castle first.”
“Yes, Lord.”
Udit took out a pair of gloves from his arms and handed them over.
Xia Zoe took it, but didn’t put it on.
His white hands stretched out from the warm cotton holster, first stuffed the gloves into the pocket in the cloak, and then took the umbrella and walked towards Lake Pal.
Udit looked at it, and was a little worried about the lord holding an umbrella alone.
But after all, he followed the order and took the servants behind him to leave first, and soon all walked into the castle.
At this moment, Xia Zoe had come to Saigalot’s side, frowning.
——There is no hat under the pope’s crown, and indeed no gloves.
His white face and hands were like white jade carvings against the ice and snow, clear but also cold.
Xia Zoe admitted that he was in a little pain, and he raised the cotton holster with one hand and said, “Get in.”
Saigalote reached in with a hand.
The cotton holster is open, and two people and two hands meet inside, and the cold fingertips that came in afterwards quietly touched the warm finger.
But Xia Zoe immediately stretched out the hand in the cotton sleeve.
He held the umbrella in one hand, and his outstretched hand took out the glove Udit had just given him from the cloak and passed it over.
“Here, put it on.”
Saigalote did not speak, obediently.
After wearing gloves on both hands, he took the umbrella held by Xia Zoe and said softly: “I still scared you. I have been avoiding me for the past two days.”
Xia Zoe wanted to say that she was not scared…
No, I was still scared.
But this “scare” is not the same as what the Pope understood.
He was not frightened by the love of “same-sex love equals guilt” that goes against the secular and common sense, but was frightened by the people who showed his heart.
This person is still the sanctioner who condemns all “same **** crimes”.
Xia Zoe always feels unsure.
Before he clarified his thoughts, of course he had to avoid the pope, but only a few days have passed?
Only two days.
“Mianxia, didn’t you say you are not in a hurry, can you wait…”
Saigalot smiled gently: “I’m waiting for your answer, but I don’t want you to hide from me and stay where I can see. I won’t force you.”
Do not stay where you can see, will you force me?
Xia Zoe got free with both hands, put it in the cotton jacket again, buried her chin in the fluffy collar, and didn’t want to talk anymore.
He was like a cat shrank in its nest and watched. Even though the outside was full of dried fish and canned cats, he just sniffed and stopped moving.
Although the temptation outside is sufficient, he cannot completely confirm that there is no danger.
Saigalot wanted to hook him out of the den.
His gloved right hand fell behind Xia Zoe, patted the snowflakes blown by the wind diagonally, and said: “I am waiting for your answer, but I only accept the answer I want to hear.”
Isn’t this forcing him to answer in the affirmative?
Xia Zoe: “You are guilty.”
Saigalote’s voice seemed to be entangled in the falling snow, and drifted into Xia Zoe’s ears with the wind: “Yes, I am guilty.”
“Because I fell in love with a small rose surrounded by thorns.”
This rose is delicate and beautiful, with thorns surrendering to its legs, rooted in hard soil, not afraid of wind and rain…
The tips of Xia Zoe’s ears hidden in the hat turned red.
He didn’t expect the pope to say so bluntly: “You, as the pope, shouldn’t you act by example…”
Before he finished speaking, Xia Zoe’s eyes suddenly went dark.
——The Pope pulled down his hat.
“What are you doing…”
The words that had not been finished were immediately blocked back.
Saigalote leaned forward, and the soft, feather-like kiss fell on Xia Zoe’s soft but cold lips…
His gilt golden eyes were deep and deep, but they seemed to be blazing bright fire.
The spark is buried in the depths and burns at a single point.
“Hate it?”
Saigalote’s voice seemed to be scattered around.
Xia Zuoyi heard it clearly, but felt that these three words fell on his ears and mind like snowflakes-instantly melted, and suddenly there was no trace left.
He could not answer.
Hate it?
Of course not annoying.
But what does he want to say?
——The black umbrella that blocked the wind and snow tilted, covering the two figures. The snowflakes accumulated on it fell in a pile, but it fell silently in the snow…
Under the umbrella, Segalote clasped Xia Zoe’s waist tightly.
The people in front of him seemed to be startled by his rash actions, perhaps afraid, with his lips pursed, without the slightest word.
Xia Zoe’s hands were imprisoned in the cotton wool, and at this moment, they couldn’t get it out because the two were closely attached.
His eyes were covered by the falling brim of the hat, and he couldn’t see the emotions on his face.
Saigalote felt that a string in his heart was being vigorously struck.
He didn’t know what his expression looked like now, but he was glad that the people in front of him couldn’t see it.
Otherwise, I’m really scared away, what should I do…
Probably after being scared away, he will chase it back by any means, picking this little rose, and being imprisoned in his heart forever.
Dangerous thoughts just flashed past.
Saigalote then slowed down: “If you don’t hate it, can you continue?”
He leaned forward and kissed again, leaving with one touch.
Xia Zoe’s lips moved, as if there was something to say, Segalote’s eyes darkened as he watched, and he covered it again…
“Well.”
Saigalot snorted, but there was a smile across his golden eyes.
He left, with a hole in his lips, leaving a conspicuous mark.
Xia Zoe grinds her fangs and opens her mouth and says, “Does it hate it?”
“Do you want another bite?” Saigalote replied.
Xia Zoe: “…”
Come here if you have the ability!
The author has something to say: two more.
Xia Xia: I suspect that he is using a bitter trick to deliberately shower the snow on the lake.
Pope: No doubt.
Good night
