Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Zhao Yeqing woke up from the heat again before six o'clock.

This is the first time this has happened since air conditioning.

Turn it on an hour before going to bed at night, and the room temperature will be lowered until after 7 a.m. in the morning.

She drowsily wiped the sweat off her neck, grabbed her phone and saw that it was only after five o'clock.

Mu Xi's own body temperature was high. If it hadn't been for the recent digging of the basement, he would have woken up from the heat.

Now that he felt the movement of the people around him, he didn't want to sleep anymore. He opened his eyes and took the watch over to look at the time.

5:48 minutes.

Take another look at the temperature.

47 degrees Celsius.

It’s 47 degrees indoors!

Both of them were startled and hurriedly opened the door and ran out. As soon as the door was opened, a wave of heat hit their faces, making them dizzy in an instant.

The two secretly thought that something was wrong, so they rushed to the cowshed and the sheepfold to take a look.

The cows and sheep all stuck out their tongues and looked like they were about to die.

I didn't even bother to check the temperature outside, I just fetched water to cool them down.

When Mu Xi ran to the backyard to fetch water, he found that the water level in the well had dropped again. If it continued like this, it would probably dry up soon.

But the cattle and sheep cannot be left alone. After getting water, we must first deal with the problem of heatstroke in the cattle and sheep.

Mu Xi dealt with the cattle and sheep, while Zhao Yeqing hurriedly checked on Xiao Hong.

Maybe it's because a large basin of ice was used here before going to bed at night, but it didn't appear to be like the situation of cattle and sheep, but it was more wilted than before.

After cooling down Xiaohong, quickly take it out and place it in the breeding basement.

This is when the benefits of a basement come into play.

As soon as he entered the basement, Zhao Yeqing felt the obvious temperature difference and couldn't help but shiver.

It's not that the basement is cold, it's just that the temperature difference is relatively large, and my body subconsciously gets goosebumps.

She estimated that the temperature difference was nearly ten degrees. There would never have been such a high temperature difference in the past.

The temperature difference in the basement is relative to the outdoor temperature. The higher the outdoor temperature, the more sudden the sudden rise in temperature. The ground temperature will not come down for a while, and this temperature difference will naturally occur.

Xiaohong snorted as soon as she came in and lay down peacefully in the space that belonged to her.

In order to prevent the livestock from frightening each other, the partitions in the middle are all up to the ceiling, so there will be no cross-barring.

Mu Xi took care of the cattle and sheep and transported them into the basement.

Goats and sheep are raised separately, and the area of ​​​​the cattle pen is the largest.

After filling their food troughs, the two went to deal with the chicken coop.

Last year, the chicken coop was rebuilt with red bricks to prevent animals from eating it. Later, in the winter, the outer ring was added to house the brazier. Before going to bed at night, I also threw two small ice packs inside. .

In this way, the chicken coop has become the best place to escape the heat.

After opening the door of the chicken coop, the chickens inside were only a little weak. After they were put into bamboo cages and locked in the breeding basement, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Heatstroke is the most serious condition in sheep, so more follow-up observation is required.

At this time, the two finally remembered to check the temperature outside.

At this sight, the two of them were dumbfounded.

55 degrees.

Zhao Yeqing felt that his anger was rising faster than the temperature!

55 degrees! Why not just do it a hundred degrees! Let’s all get acquainted together!

This is completely a development that does not allow people to live.

The weather has been hot recently, so Mu Xi often chills two pots of fire-reducing tea such as wild chrysanthemum tea in the refrigerator. He pours a cup for each of them. After the ice-cold liquid slides down his throat, Zhao Yeqing feels his anger. Most of them were calmed down.

There is no way. From the first day they started to survive in the mountains, they have found ways to overcome every difficulty. However, the climate is getting worse day by day. If this continues, they will not be able to resist nature no matter how hard they try.

I am exhausted every day, my survival is still a problem, and the weather is getting tighter every day. Who can not be annoyed by this?

But despite being annoyed, life still has to go on.

Take a look at what else is in the refrigerator, take it out and take a bite before thinking about anything else.

After Zhao Yeqing finished his breakfast, he went to the planting basement to check on the crops.

After pouring water on all the fruits and vegetables, she patted the largest watermelon. When she felt it was almost ready, she cut off the stem and vine and walked back to the kitchen with the watermelon in her arms.

Put about five pounds of watermelon in the refrigerator.

This variety is not a special variety, it is just an ordinary black-skinned watermelon. Logically speaking, the pulp is delicious, but there are a lot of seeds. Zhao Yeqing usually buys the seedless ones if he finds it troublesome.

Logically speaking, this variety should be able to grow larger, probably because it was subsequently moved underground. The size has not changed for a while now, so I might as well pick it off to avoid spoiling it.

The weather is so hot that the strawberries no longer bear fruit.

Tomatoes and peppers are still blooming and bearing fruit one after another. Uneaten millet peppers can be stored directly in the freezer and they will not go bad for as long as they are stored.

Ordinary string peppers, screw peppers and the like can only be refrigerated, and those that cannot be eaten are made into chopped peppers or pickles.

Last year, Zhao Yeqing only used the simplest way to store tomatoes: sun-drying. This year, conditions are a little better. She plans to make canned tomatoes or sauces from the endless tomatoes, and freeze the whole tomatoes before winter. It’s okay to get up.

Frozen tomatoes are not only easy to peel, but also can be chopped into pieces and stir-fried to release the juice instantly.

This way you can enjoy slightly fresh tomatoes in the winter.

Luffa, bitter gourd, beans, eggplant, etc. are easier to maintain than tomatoes and will produce more fruits. When ripe, you have to pick them back and store them in the refrigerator. You can't eat meat in this weather, so you rely on fruits and vegetables to survive.

The watermelon had to be chilled for a day before it could be completely frozen, so Zhao Yeqing went to work first, picking all the ripe fruits and vegetables and putting them in the refrigerator. He also took ice cubes from the freezer and put them in pots, and then took them to the planting basement.

When I came up, I saw Mu Xi picking three bunches of grapes from outside.

The appearance is not particularly good, but it is fully ripe and the skin is purple and black.

Zhao Yeqing held one to his mouth, squeezed out the pulp, and sucked it into his mouth.

Sweet.

I don’t know if it’s because of too much sunshine, but the glucose content is very abundant. Originally, wild grapes are considered to be very sweet if they are 70% sweet and 30% sour.

Now this is almost pure sweetness, not inferior to the grapes picked in season in Xinjiang Province.

This one also has the unique aroma of wild grapes.

The food was delicious, but because it was too sweet, it made me panic. After eating more than a dozen pills, I couldn’t eat anymore.

Zhao Yeqing put the rest in the refrigerator, "If it hadn't been too hot, these grapes would probably be used to make sugar, and the sugar yield would probably be higher than that of the sweet straw."

I don’t know how the iced watermelon tastes. I have to wait patiently until evening to eat it.

It's so hot today that I probably won't be able to sleep at night, so I can use iced watermelon to relieve the heat.

Zhao Yeqing had been looking forward to eating watermelon at night, but when night came, the two of them discovered that something was even more obviously wrong today.
