Chapter 319 God-level Doll - Temperature Change
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Qian Rou picked up a locust and held it by its wings. She then walked away and said:
"Hurry back to the village and see what everyone is saying. They have eaten all the food. Although we have a lot of food in the village, we can't waste it. Let my brother roast one for me to try. It's very nutritious. It's also meat."
Several people followed Qian Rou's steps and walked slowly, but when they saw the "nutritional products" piled up around them, their expressions became ferocious. They all decided to let Qian Liang taste it first.
Although not all villagers can accept eating locusts, since the crops in the fields have been destroyed, they cannot waste the food. After all, everything is meat if you close your eyes.
***
In the village square, more than twenty people surrounded Qian Liang, and everyone looked at him expectantly.
Qian Liang looked at the locust with its hideous head chopped off. Although it smelled like meat, it looked really hard to eat. He looked around and asked in confusion:
“Why should I eat it?”
Qian Rou said bluntly, "Eat, there's no need for so much nonsense, and there's no need for so many reasons."
Fang Zhen agreed, "Eat it. It will give you some nutrition."
Qian Liang's ears were filled with the word "eat" in various tones.
Zhou Leng rode on his father's shoulders and echoed loudly: "Uncle Qian Liang, eat! It's delicious."
Qian Liang thought, it smells delicious, why don't you eat it? However, the other party is a new golden thigh, so he dared not say anything and lowered his proud head out of despair.
Qian Liang tore off the meat with shaking hands and put it into his mouth. He closed his eyes and chewed it a few times with grievance, then his brows relaxed. He looked up at everyone and said, "It smells really good. You guys should try it too. Really."
Everyone tasted it skeptically, then nodded in the affirmative.
Zhou Leng's mouth was watering with greed as he watched the scene. In the end, Fang Zhen secretly gave his daughter a small bite of meat without telling his wife. Both the father and daughter smiled so hard that their eyes narrowed.
The result of the good taste was that the whole village came to the fields with bags in hand. They even picked and chose the ones that looked plump and put them into the bags, intending to go back and grill, marinate and fry them. In short, they did not want to waste this God-given protein.
After the villagers had finished loading, there were still a lot of things left in the fields. Those of average quality were put into the space by Fang Zhen. Fortunately, their yard was big enough and they had a cellar, so many daily necessities and long-lasting grains did not take up space.
The planting land was destroyed, and the villagers did not go to replant the land. One reason was that they had stored a lot of food in the past two years, so even if there was no harvest this year, they would still be able to eat enough in the winter. The other reason was that since the locusts came, mutant animals had been attacking the village every now and then, and it seemed that something had happened to affect these mutant animals.
Although the villagers did not go to the plantations, the planting ability users headed by Fang Heng all planted food in a small area at home, and then used their abilities to slowly catalyze the maturity. They only hoped to store more food. After all, if they couldn't fight, they had to take the initiative to do a good job in logistics.

The peaceful days passed until early autumn. With an average battle every five days, the villagers' tacit understanding and fighting power increased significantly.
Ye Chaoqiu suddenly felt the cold slowly eroding her in her sleep. She opened her eyes and looked at the pitch-black outside. She groped in the darkness and touched her daughter's warm body. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Chaoqiu was not a supernatural being, and her resistance was not as strong as her husband and daughter, so she felt the cold first. She whispered, "Hubby, why is it so cold? Is it raining?"
The woman's voice woke Fang Zhen up from his sleep. He struggled to reach his hand out of the quilt and then woke up completely.
The location of the Liuzhuang base is only ten degrees below zero even in the coldest winter. There are only a few light snowfalls throughout the winter, but the perceived temperature at this moment has already reached below zero.
Fang Zhen took his coat and put it on, then lit the oil lamp at home. The warm light shone into the house. Ye Chaoqiu opened the curtains and looked out, seeing a world of white.
"It's snowing!" Ye Chaoqiu said in shock.
Zhou Leng, who had already woken up, continued to pretend to be asleep.
Fang Zhen also looked out through the window. Large flakes of snow made everything he saw white. He quickly took the winter quilt and put it on the kang. He also found his thick winter clothes, put on a thick cotton-padded jacket, and then went to the kitchen to get some dry firewood to light the kang.
Ye Chaoqiu spread out the thick bedding, held his daughter in his arms and lay down in bed. All his sleepiness had been covered up by the heavy snow.
After Fang Zhen heated the kang, he did not go up to sleep. He went to his wife and said quietly:
"It's snowing so hard. I'm going to go out and sweep the snow. Otherwise, I won't be able to open the door tomorrow morning."
Ye Chaoqiu said softly: "Well, I'll go out and sweep the snow with you after I warm up the bed."
Fang Zhen tucked in the quilt for his wife and daughter and went out. The snow outside was already half a person high. If it continued like this, their house would be buried in the snow when they woke up tomorrow.
Fang Zhen was shoveling snow with tools in hand. He wanted to go to the trio's yard to wake them up first, but when he walked out of his own front door, he saw a blurry figure more than ten meters away.
Fang Zhen shouted loudly:
"You were also woken up by the cold."
Qian Rou's familiar voice reached Fang Zhen's ears. She said loudly:
"Brother Fang, we have notified everyone in the village. Every household is up and clearing the snow. You can clear your house first. We will clear the snow on the road to make a walkable path, and then everyone will push the snow outside the base."
Fang Zhen agreed and went home.
Ye Chaoqiu warmed up the bed and saw her daughter sleeping soundly. She got up, put on a thick cotton coat, and found tools to start clearing the snow in the yard. She first cleared the snow around the house to the backyard. Not far from the backyard was the earthen wall of the base. After cleaning the snow around the house, she blew it out of the base.
Ye Chaoqiu had just started cleaning when Fang Zhen came back. The couple talked in a low voice, and then began to shovel snow together.
When the sky was bright, the snow in the village was barely cleared enough for people to walk on. However, when people looked up at the incessant snow falling from the sky, they were all a little confused, confused as to whether God had to interfere in such a difficult situation.
For half a month, the whole village was doing the same repetitive work: eating, sleeping, and shoveling snow.

The boring time and the constant heavy snow made Zhou Leng immersed in studying the various uses of superpowers every day. She sat on the kang in thick clothes, watching her parents shoveling snow in the yard, staring at the two people with unfocused eyes.
Zhou Leng was holding the tomato seeds that she asked Fang Zhen to leave behind. Ever since the locusts arrived, she had begun to study how to use her wood-attributed ability to catalyze the growth of the seeds.
Now a quarter has passed, Zhou Leng has made some progress, but the wood attribute cannot be ripened yet. It needs to be mixed with water elements to ripen quickly. This is something she slowly figured out after studying Fang Heng's planting ability.
