When the two arrived at the agreed location, they saw their uncle and aunt were already waiting there.

Shen Wu still remembered that the woman called Fifth Aunt was very unfriendly to her, so she didn't say anything. She lowered her head and followed Gu Zhou, looking at the yellow earth under her feet.

Not long after they arrived, the first uncle and the third uncle came driving a ox cart. They stopped by the roadside so as not to hinder people from entering or leaving.

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for quite a while. Today is my first day setting up the stall and all the old customers have come to patronize me. I must have said a few too many words and wasted some time." Uncle Li pulled the reins to make the cow stop, then got off the cart lightly and patted the cow's head.

Mr. Li San didn't say anything, and the two of them walked one in front and one behind.

"Let's go, what are you still standing there for! Uncle Li saw that the few people didn't move, and hurried over to pick them up."

Gu Zhou was originally standing next to Fifth Aunt, but he was afraid that Fifth Aunt would come up and make trouble again, so he wanted to separate the two of them.

Just at this moment, Uncle Li stepped forward and pulled Shen Wu.

"Yuwa, come on, you and Gu kid get in my car. I see your uncle Gui and his friends bought a lot of things and there's no room for them, so you two kids take my car." It's hard to tell how old Grandpa Li is. Although his face doesn't have many wrinkles when he smiles, it looks like wrinkled skin.

Shen Wu was stunned for a moment and quickly declined: "No! Uncle. This car of yours is for selling tofu! We run around here and there every day, and we are all covered in dirt and other things. We can't get in your car."

After hearing what she said, Uncle Li's facial wrinkles deepened: "Why are you talking so much? We farmers don't talk so much. Besides, you two are children, there's nothing to be dirty about." After saying that, he was about to help Shen Wu carry the backpack.

What's going on? The old man didn't talk much on the way here, but why is he so lively now? Could it be her buns? Were people in ancient times so snobbish?

Shen Wu's mind was full of questions but she forgot one thing: this child was such a jerk before, but now she is so well behaved and doesn't cause trouble, just because she has made some good impressions on her by the uncles in the village.

"Uncle, this really won't work. How about this? We load all our stuff into your car? You haul the goods? We all ride in your car? That way your car won't get dirty."

Master Li San, Gu Zhou, Li Gui and his wife Liu Lan, who had been silent, all nodded. Only Aunt Li Wu, who had been looking at Jiang Yu with contempt for speaking, did not say a word.

"Yes, Yuwa, this method is good."

"Yes! Jiang Yu is quite right, sir."

"Master, Yuwa's magic works."

"That's right, that's right"

The old man sighed and waved his hand: "Okay! You guys are so thoughtful, just pick up the easy tasks for me, an old man."

Several people hurriedly carried the backpacks on their backs. The sun was already directly overhead and it would be time for lunch soon.

Although the farmers only have two meals a day, the harvest in recent years has been pretty good, they have worked hard, and there is enough food in the mountains, so they still occasionally eat two or three meals a day.

Sitting in the car, Shen Wu once again felt the gaze that could not be ignored. She pretended to be uncomfortable and leaned back. She felt relieved only after her back touched the wooden fence.

"Oh! I think the autumn rain will come early this year!" Grandpa Li spoke slowly as he drove a cart full of wooden baskets and goods.

"I don't think so," Mr. Li said after looking at the sky for a long time.

"How to say?"

"Last year there was a lot of autumn rain, but it may not rain this year. It's only autumn now, the leaves haven't even turned yellow yet, and the sun is so bright every day, but it's so early there."

Grandpa Li chuckled: "San'er, you don't know this, right? When I was a kid, I followed my parents to work in the fields, and the weather was like this for two or three years. The year before, it was windy, rainy and snowy, and the next year it was sunny and hot. I thought it would be warm without rain, snow or snow. But... who knew, more than half a month into autumn, the rain started to fall, and it kept drizzling for half a month, and in the end, the original hard roads in the village became sticky!"

After hearing what the eldest brother said, Uncle Li San couldn't help but believe it a little. He was ten years younger than his eldest brother. Things were better when he was born, and he only heard his parents talk about what happened back then.

After hearing this, Li Gui's face changed: "Uncle! What if this year is the same as in previous years! Our village must mobilize early to store food and cut firewood. In previous years, the winter was really cold, with snow as thick as calves, and many people froze to death."

The old man nodded and said: "That's just what I said. The weather has indeed been abnormal in recent years. Let's be prepared and store more food, charcoal and firewood when the time comes."

Having said this, the old man added: "Gu boy, if you need our help with anything, you must tell me! It will be difficult for you...you kids to survive the winter!"

"Don't worry, sir. I'll let you know if I need any help," Gu Zhou pursed his lips and smiled with his teeth bared.

Fortunately, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, Li Gui and others were talking all the time, so the old man didn't dare to scold Shen Wu. He sat there with his legs folded, staring at Jiang Yu with a gloomy look.

Gu Zhou naturally saw it, and subtly helped to cover Shen Wu's direction using Fu Jiang Yu's method.

Shen Wu staggered along the way, with his head down, stroking the pudding on his knees, listening to the old people's words, not knowing what he was thinking.

There are actually cases of people freezing to death! The cloth hair on Shen Wu's fingertips trembled, and the cruelty of ancient life added some fear.

At first she was very happy and just thought of it as an opportunity to experience life, but after these days, she felt that she was gradually immersed in this era.

Although she still has her current perspective, she will unconsciously feel fear from the bottom of her heart at certain moments.

She couldn't help but wonder, why did she have to travel through time? Why her?

If she were still a teenager, a young child, I would definitely be envious of it, but now she is an old lady in her thirties, stupid and socially anxious, and can't do anything. What's the point of letting her come through here?

She was a little depressed, her heart was short of breath, and tears welled up in her drooping eyes.

In modern times, Shen Wu had to take care of her family and everyone, and was forced to grow up. Would she still have to do this in ancient times? Why didn't God arrange a good life for her?

Thinking of his ancient home, Shen Wu's emo mood stagnated, but he quickly suppressed it.

No, no, she can't use up her own thoughts like in modern times, doing whatever she wants, second life eh!

Thinking of this, Shen Wu began to plan what to prepare for autumn and winter.

You must take reeds, cattails and other things. In ancient times, people could freeze to death in winter, so you couldn't do without keeping warm.

I'll ask Gu Zhou to help me ask if there's anyone in the village who makes charcoal. We can make some charcoal together and carry more so we can keep warm in the winter.

It's not that she doesn't want to burn firewood or make a kang, but any of these are more difficult than burning charcoal.

Burning firewood..., in ancient times there were no good sealing and ventilation conditions, the house didn’t get warm, it was all burned in vain.

If it is sealed well, it is still easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning. People who are in the smoke will be killed by the smoke before they are even shocked.

Kang... In this place, houses are made of wood or loess and straw. How could there be bricks? She didn't even see a few flat stones.

It is more convenient to use charcoal. If she is about to get carbon monoxide poisoning, she will first make a hole to let the gas out. Burning wood is too dangerous. There are children at home. What if the house is burned down by accident?
