    The higher the purity of silver, the softer its texture.

    Li Mingyue¡¯s kettle is naturally made of the highest purity silver. Zhao Hao easily restored the deflated body with his hands.

    Zhao Hao found a lot of scraps of ice cubes to make a fire and piled them there.

    He thought to himself that ice is cleaner than snow, so he filled the kettle with ice cubes and threw them on the stone stove. Soon it started to steam.

    Zhao Hao took out the berries from his sleeve pocket and threw them in like a magic trick. He smiled at Li Mingyue and said, "No matter how difficult life is, you still have to drink tea."

    Li Mingyue also smiled happily and said, "I often drink fruit tea at home."

    "Don't expect too much." Zhao Hao smiled and gave her a vaccination.  He saw signs that birds had eaten them, so he picked the berries with confidence. However, they tasted sour and had only a little sweetness, so they could only be used to make tea and could not be eaten directly.

    The two of them waited for the water to boil. Zhao Hao poured a cup into the lid of the cup for her, and he used the kettle directly.

    Li Mingyue held the lid of the cup, gently blew away the heat, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "It's sour and a little sweet, it tastes really good"

    "Well, people are particularly easy to be content at times like this." Zhao Hao also sipped fruit tea and looked at the starry sky outside. His heart that had been tugging at him finally regained his peace.

    After drinking tea, he felt that his body had completely warmed up, and then he noticed that Li Mingyue had been frowning.

    "Why, your feet still hurt?" Zhao Hao asked.

    "Yes." Li Mingyue nodded and said softly: "It was fine before, but after resting for a while, the pain has become worse."

    "You have to apply ice, otherwise you will be in pain at night." Zhao Hao said, putting the remaining ice cubes into the leather lining that he had cut before, and said to Li Mingyue: "Take off your boots."

    Li Mingyue nodded and reached out to take off her boots, but she was wearing long boots and her feet were swollen. It hurt so much when she applied force and she couldn't take them off.

    She had no choice but to look at Zhao Hao for help. Zhao Hao picked up the dagger and wanted to open her boots.

    But Li Mingyue shook her head and said, "What if I have to go down the mountain by myself tomorrow?"

    "What should we do?" Zhao Hao thought about it and put away the dagger.

    "Please help me take it off" Li Mingyue said calmly, but after saying that, her face suddenly burned for no reason.

    The little county head didn¡¯t know why, but he felt embarrassed to say it to Zhao Hao even though he could usually say it openly.

    Fortunately, I smeared thick beeswax on my face, so I didn¡¯t make a fool of myself.

    "Hey, okay." Zhao Hao sighed helplessly, thinking how much money did I owe you in my previous life?  Not only did I go to great lengths to carry you up the mountain, but I also had to take off your smelly boots.

    "But I have prayed seventy-two times, and I am not trembling anymore."

    He held the heel of Li Mingyue's boots with one hand and the toe of her boots with the other.  Li Mingyue gritted her teeth and pulled her legs back, finally taking off the boots from her feet.

    After taking off her socks, she saw that her ankle had become swollen like a bun. Zhao Hao didn't care about it now, so he quickly picked up the ice pack and gently placed it on Li Mingyue's swollen ankle.

    "Hiss" Li Mingyue took a breath and tried to shrink her legs but was held down by Zhao Hao.  After a while, she gasped for air and complained: "It hurts me so much"

    "Be patient, the pain will stop after a while." Zhao Hao comforted: "Then you will feel very comfortable."

    "Yeah." Li Mingyue nodded obediently. She was now very convinced of Zhao Hao.

    ??~~

    In order to divert Li Mingyue's attention, Zhao Hao chatted with her and said: "When the earthquake happened, I seemed to hear someone say that there was another earthquake Do earthquakes happen all the time in the capital?"

    ¡°I can¡¯t say it¡¯s often, but it happens once every one or two years, which is scary, and the slight shaking is even more frequent.¡± Li Mingyue replied.

    "When did it start?" Zhao Hao thought of something in his heart.

    "It's been like this since I can remember." Li Mingyue thought about it and said, "I heard from the elders that it seemed like it happened after the earthquake in Huaxian County that year."

    Zhao Hao secretly said yes.

    The main culprit was the Guanzhong earthquake in the twelfth lunar month of the 34th year of Jiajing.

    The epicenter of the earthquake was located in Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province, but it spread to nearly 100 counties, killing more than 500,000 people, and the earthquake was clearly felt even in the capital.

    And since then, the entire north has entered a period of high earthquake incidence. It was not until four years after Longqing that the aftershocks gradually subsided.

    But, who could have expected the aftershocks that would come so soon?

    Thinking that there would be another earthquake in Beijing next spring, Zhao Hao, who always puts safety first, immediately made up his mind to wait for his fatherAfter finishing, no matter what the result was, we quickly returned to Jiangnan.

    Wait until four years after Longqing to come back

    Seeing that he remained silent for a while, Li Mingyue had no choice but to take the initiative and ask: "Seeing that you are so surprised, you must not be from the north."

    Although the Ming Dynasty moved its capital 1670 years ago, the imperial court and the upper class still use the Jianghuai Mandarin of Nanjing. Therefore, it is not easy to tell whether someone is from Nanjing or Beijing based on their accent.

    "I am from Huizhou and grew up in Nanjing." Zhao Hao answered.

    "Nanjing, it's so fun there" Li Mingyue got excited when she heard that, but then she lowered her head and said shyly: "I heard from my elders in the family that Jinling was known as a beautiful place in ancient times. Clothes and cultural relics flourished in the south of the Yangtze River.  In the sea. I have always longed for it, but I can't get there."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of this anxiety, he memorized the article fluently which I couldn't memorize no matter what.  If the officials of the eldest princess' palace heard this, they would be angry to death.

    "There will be opportunities in the future." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "In terms of life alone, it is indeed much better than Beijing."

    "Tell me quickly" Li Mingyue hurriedly shook his arm, then retracted her hand and said politely: "Little sister, I am all ears."

    Zhao Hao asked with concern: "Don't you have a fever? Why don't you feel normal?"

    When Li Mingyue heard this, her heart suddenly tightened for some reason.  He showed a pitiful expression and said, "It's not a fever, but it hurts so much that I'm throbbing, so please tell me quickly."

    "Okay." Zhao Hao felt that her description was very appropriate, so he did not doubt it and told Li Mingyue vividly about the customs of Jinling. He had read many miscellaneous books and actually lived in Jinling for a year.  The natural and lifelike sound makes people yearn for it.

    ¡°At least Zhao Hao said that he felt a little homesick.  I couldn't help but secretly complain, I really don't regard myself as an outsider.

    But Li Mingyue actually didn¡¯t feel much.

    She is not a wealthy lady who never leaves the house or steps outside the door, and has never seen the world. She goes to Nanjing almost once a year, so she almost let it slip.

    But she still listened with interest, and after Zhao Hao finished speaking, she sighed: "When it's the coldest in Nanjing, you don't even need to wear mink. It's really much warmer than Beijing."

    "It gets hotter as we go south," said Zhao Hao, who likes to teach others, as he set up a dragon gate formation during the long night: "When we arrived in Lingnan, we were still wearing single clothes. When we arrived in Hainan that is, places like Qiongzhou and Danzhou, it is now even hotter than our summer.  The men were all shirtless.¡±

    "What about further south?" Now Li Mingyue became really interested and asked: "I heard that there is Luzon to the ends of the earth to the south Well, this is also what I heard from my elder brother."

    "Your elder brother knows a lot." Zhao Hao couldn't help but praise: "The farther south you go, the hotter it gets. When you reach the hottest equator, even people are getting tanned."

    "Kunlun slave?" Li Mingyue asked curiously.

    "It's darker than the Kunlun slave" Zhao Hao laughed.

    "So what's the 'equator'? Is it the end of the world?" Li Mingyue asked curiously.

    "No." Zhao Hao shook his head and said: "If you insist on saying it, the equator can only be regarded as the center line of the world"

    Li Mingyue asked, what is south of the center line?

    Zhao Hao told her about the koala continent where kangaroos and ostriches roamed the ground, and the ice-covered Antarctica

    He was throwing out a baggage and waiting for her to pick it up, but suddenly he felt his shoulders sink, but it was Li Mingyue who had fallen asleep on his shoulders.
