In the castle, it was silent.
The people sitting around the fire, holding the flowers they planted in their hands, did not speak, except for the occasional crackling sound of the firewood.
Ed added two table legs to the brazier.
Eric couldn't help but said: "Let's add more, the fire is bigger and warmer."
"What a joke, it's warm when the fire is big, but it's also a waste of firewood." Ed was unhappy, and glanced at him, "I have to go out again after the fire is over."
"Even if you burn slowly, the wood will be burnt out sooner or later, and you will have to go out again at that time." Eric said, "You should come back with more tables and benches."
Ed was a little angry, "It's easy to say, do you know how hard it is to go out and get a batch of wood? Next time you have the ability to get supplies!"
Eric shrank his neck, blew a breath of heat into his palms, and replied, "I'll go as soon as I go, add some more wood, I'm really too cold."
Ed snorted, ready to take the wood.
Brian reached out to stop him.
"What's the matter?" Eric was anxious. "Don't be reluctant to let go of wood! I've already said it, I'll go out to find the material headquarters in a while? At least let me warm up now!"
"We can't go out for the time being." Brian glanced at him lightly and said calmly, "Go to the city to find supplies, back and forth for at least two hours, and the supplies are not placed on the street for you to pick up, most of the places are blocked by ice, It's quite difficult and time-consuming to find, and soon the woman will be back to check the seeds, and we'd better stay here and don't go out at this juncture."
Eric looked a little dissatisfied when he heard it, but he didn't force more firewood in the end.
Cheng Wei looked at the three of them, and persuaded kindly: "Everyone keep persevering, and when the seeds germinate, we can count as the first difficulty..."
"It's only a few hours, can you get buds..." Ed muttered in a low voice.
Cheng Wei didn't know what to do, he sighed and held up a small bowl next to the brazier - the ice cubes in it had melted into water and were warm.
Cheng Wei picked up the bowl and carefully poured it along the edge of the lid to ensure that the soil in the lid was always damp.
When the others saw it, they also added water to their lids one after another.
Cheng Wei only told them: "Don't water too much, don't drown it, and don't pour it directly on the seeds, the water will wash away the surface soil."
"Trouble to die..." Ed complained, but did so.
He was already very careful and slow, even holding his breath, but the force of the pouring seemed to be too great, and a lot of soil was washed away at once, revealing a little green color under the soil layer.
"… Oops? Oops? Oops!!!" Ed cried out, "Hey! Old man, look at me, have I sprouted?!"
Cheng Wei hurried over, and Brian and Eric also got close.
The light of the fire shone, and the little greenery in the soil was particularly conspicuous.
"That's right, your seed has sprouted!" Cheng Wei said quickly, "Put it down, don't touch it, be careful!"
"Mine seems to have sprouted too." Brian lifted the lid of his cup and held it in front of Cheng Weicai.
Not so obvious, a small raised sprout could be vaguely seen under the soil layer.
Cheng Wei quickly looked at his own. The soil that had just been watered was moist and dark black. He didn't see any changes, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
At this time, the center of the soil trembled slightly, and a little green protruded from the soil, so tiny, so delicate, as if a little bigger breathing would hurt it.
Cheng Wei slowly put down the lid of the cup and let out a sigh of relief, "Mine have sprouted too..."
Everyone looked at Eric in unison.
Only his seeds have not yet sprouted.
Eric held the lid of the cup and stared bitterly, "... Strange, why is mine not moving?"
