Chapter 552 Lotus Building CP Li Lianhua

The rumor spread to Linhai Town and immediately became a trending topic in all the teahouses and restaurants. Storytellers and singers got the latest material from this top influencer and used every trick in the book to try and ride this wave of popularity.

Thanks to them, Hua Xiaozhou heard several versions, almost demonizing Li Xiangyi. In short, everyone was guessing where Li Xiangyi was now, and there were even die-hard fans who spontaneously organized to search for him.

It's fortunate that Li Lianhua is now engrossed in housework and education, rarely leaving the house, otherwise it would have been quite dangerous!

After discussing it, the two realized that Buwei was almost two years old, and could understand human speech and recognize people. They quickly purchased supplies, and Lotus Pavilion set off again.

Hua Xiaozhou has recently been reading novels that feature grassland scenery.

They traveled north, slightly west, to a place where people had made their living by raising cattle, sheep, and horses for generations.

I've heard that even young children can ride horses and wield whips. They place great importance on strength and admire strong physiques, regardless of gender.

The RV traveled slowly, and it took the whole family more than four months to get there.

The altitude there was quite high, but Hua Xiaozhou and his group adapted well. Even Buwei felt no discomfort. On the contrary, he was constantly amazed by the new scenery he saw.

Here, cattle and sheep roam freely, and the grasslands are lush. The nomadic people are very hardworking and capable. Every time I go out, I can see people who bring their cattle and sheep out to graze picking up cow dung and training sheepdogs.

The biggest crises here are natural disasters and wolf attacks.

This ancient people have ample experience and wisdom to prepare for wolf attacks in advance, but the ever-changing natural disasters always cause them heavy losses.

Hua Xiaozhou and Li Lianhua had just settled down on a nearby grassland when a cold wave broke out.

The temperature dropped sharply at night, and a north wind was blowing. Rain and snow were mixed in the first half of the night, and small hailstones began to fall in the second half. The roof was crackling. Luckily, Li Lianhua woke up quickly and took Buwei into bed and covered his ears, otherwise he would have been scared to tears.

The wind howled outside, but thankfully the Lotus Tower was sturdy and barely shook inside. However, the wind was so strong that rain, snow, and ice pellets kept pounding against the building.

Not because he couldn't sleep, he started to fuss and cried and cried, and nothing could soothe him. Finally, Li Lianhua let him suck on her finger, and as if he had found a sense of security, he finally fell asleep.

Hua Xiaozhou and Li Lianhua slept on either side, with Buwei sandwiched in the middle; luckily, the blankets were big enough.

With one large stove and one small stove, Hua Xiaozhou finally felt a bit warm, a rare treat.

The two who had just been trying to lull Buwei to sleep were now wide awake, staring at each other with wide eyes as they listened to Buwei's breathing.

Hua Xiaozhou groped around, reached for the table next to him, took two beef jerky sticks, stuffed one into Li Lianhua's mouth, and chewed the other himself.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to not let Li Lianhua take away the snacks she was eating while reading a storybook in bed.

Hua Xiaozhou took a couple of bites and secretly glanced at Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua was perceptive enough not to say anything discouraging about the bad effects of eating at night on teeth.

"...I need to check the outer walls of the Lotus Pavilion again tomorrow morning to see if there are any damaged or loose parts. I need to repair them and reinforce them before the snow gets too deep. Then I need to find the local herders to exchange some dried cow dung and their local specialties."

“Okay, we bought a lot of nice fabrics and hairpins along the way, so it’s perfect to use them to exchange for something.”

Hua Xiaozhou remembered that there were still some toys that Buwei had gotten tired of playing with at home. Maybe she could trade them for some new toys that Buwei would like.

In this era, many less economically developed areas, where resources are relatively scarce and limited, do not rely on gold and silver currency and tend to prefer the traditional barter system.
