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

The windows in the house are covered with thick cloth or old clothes, wool felt, etc., to seal the small gaps in the window frames to ensure the temperature in the house.

If no one adds firewood to the stove while sleeping, it will gradually burn out in the second half of the night. In the past, Mu Xi woke up earlier than Zhao Yeqing, but when the weather gradually turned colder, it was Zhao Yeqing who woke up first.

Awakened by the cold.

If his feet accidentally touched the cold place under the quilt, he would immediately wake up from the cold, then he would shrink his legs and tuck his feet under Mu Xi's body.

Zhao Yeqing didn't stretch out his legs unless he was sleepy today. After waking up from the cold, he put on his coat and got up to add firewood to the stove.

Mu Xi would definitely be awakened if she came with her. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Zhao Yeqing getting up. His voice was a little lazy, "Did you forget to turn off the lights in the backyard last night?"

From the unsealed corner of the window near the bed, I saw a faint white light coming in from the outside.

There was no light on in the room at this moment, so this trace of light was clearly visible.

When Zhao Yeqing heard this, he kept throwing firewood into the stove and recalled in his mind: "No, I went down to the basement from the backyard with a flashlight last night and didn't turn on the lights at all."

Mu Xi closed his eyes forcefully and then opened them again. As his blurry vision became clear, his chaotic mind gradually recovered.

Finally realizing something, he quickly got out of bed. No wonder he wasn't even wearing a coat. He walked to the window and lifted the shield covering the window.

The sticky tape made a tearing sound, and Zhao Yeqing looked up when he heard the sound...

Then both of them were stunned.

The long-lost bright light shone in from outside the window. The light reflected the snow in the yard and was a bit dazzling when it shined in.

After staring for a few seconds, Mu Xi noticed that his eyes stung a little, then he blinked and made sure that he had seen correctly. He immediately turned to look at Zhao Yeqing.

Zhao Yeqing saw that all the firewood he had not thrown into the stove fell to the ground, and he opened his mouth silently before making a sound, "Is this? It's dawn?"

"seems like it."

Mu Xi raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist. The time number on it showed 8:37 in the morning.

The sky was a little foggy and the sun couldn't be seen, but there was indeed light.

Zhao Yeqing stood up, turned around, ran over and opened the door to the house.

The sight was dazzling white light, and she could clearly see the scene in the yard, including the debris blown to the corners by the strong wind, the thick snow, the fallen tiles, and the faint golden light coming from the white mist.

At this moment, huge joy filled her chest, and she felt like a person lost in the desert who finally found an oasis, experiencing first-hand the experience of surviving a disaster.

The big stone that had been weighing on my heart for so long was instantly removed. I felt a sense of clarity and my breathing became smoother.

Mu Xi waited in the room for a while and looked at the temperature number on the watch that seemed to have increased compared to yesterday. However, this data was not accurate. After all, it was also related to the fire intensity of the floor heating.

He put on his clothes and went out through the back door, walked to the breeding basement, and fed the livestock as usual.

The environment in the breeding basement is relatively airtight, and the ambient temperature here is also very stable and is unlikely to be affected by too many factors.

He first prepared the feed for the livestock, including silage plus hay for horses, cattle and sheep.

The original plan was to harvest a wave of forage to make silage after it snowed, but the forage was harvested later, but the temperature dropped too significantly, and the silage did not ferment easily and became moldy easily.

It didn't take long for it to get dark again, and the two of them were thankful that they hadn't put it in for silage, otherwise everything would have been ruined.

So we gave priority to using forage as feed, and the silage in the two silos that had been prepared before was started to be used later. Since the weather was cold, we only fed one meal a day, and now there is still half of the silage left.

Pigs are still fed a mixture of sweet potatoes and rice bran, while chickens are fed a mixture of brown rice and corn.

Since the charcoal pots were placed in the basement, pig feed has been boiled directly in the basement. This saves the effort of moving the sweet potatoes from the basement to the house and then lifting the pig feed to the basement after cooking.

Feeding the pigs took the longest. After feeding them all, Mu Xi looked at his watch. The temperature on it was minus 18 degrees.

It is three to four degrees higher than yesterday.

It's obviously the result of the dawn today.

When Mu Xi returned to the house, Zhao Yeqing had not returned yet.

When I walked to the front yard, I saw her wearing thick clothes, wrapping herself into a small ball, holding a solar panel and placing it on the shelf.

This shelf was built in the yard, with stakes driven into the ground at the bottom. The angle was specially adjusted so that the solar panels could receive the most sunlight when placed on it.

It is the strongest of all the racks in the entire yard, and the only one that has not been destroyed by the blow.

Zhao Yeqing put the solar panels on it. There were four small holes on each layer of the shelf, which were specially used to connect the solar panels. Just screw the screws in.

This winter I have used a lot of electricity. If I hadn't found a generator and just relied on candles for lighting, the weak light would have been even more depressing.

The generator consumes a lot of gasoline during this polar night, a little more than half a liter every day. Although the two people have a considerable amount of gasoline left in stock, this stock may last a lifetime, and every time she uses up a little All feel distressed.

Now that there was light, Zhao Yeqing hurriedly hung up the solar panels again, saving whatever he could.

She was wearing too thick clothes and could not straighten her arms. Mu Xi came over and helped put it on. The two of them worked together to install it and quickly returned to the house.

Zhao Yeqing took off his kidnapper hat and took a few breaths of fresh air. His mood was obviously much happier than before. "I was also told that although it is still cold, my body feels much better than yesterday. At least it doesn't hurt as much."

Mu Xi also felt it, "I just went to feed in the basement. After I finished feeding and waited for the temperature on the watch to stabilize, I saw that it was floating around minus 17 or 18 degrees, which is a bit warmer."

There's no better news right now than that the weather is getting warmer again.

"The snow will definitely not melt for a while, and our firewood inventory may not be able to sustain the melting of the snow, so we still have to go out to cut firewood."

Mu Xi thought silently after hearing this. He knew Zhao Yeqing's concerns, but transportation after cutting the wood was also a problem.

The closest place to the house is to walk toward the back of the house, to the gentle slope behind the charcoal kiln where the two of them burn charcoal. There are trees there that can be cut down.

Large trees are difficult to cut down, and they cannot be transported back after being cut down, and they will be wet even after being transported back.

The best way is to collect firewood and pick up dead branches that have fallen into the snow.

The premise is that the firewood broken by the snow is not buried by the snow falling behind, otherwise it will have to be dug out from under the snow.
