Chapter 18 18. The Snowfall
...

Gou Sheng returned quickly with a small cup of ink, his face and ears flushed from the cold.Dad also came home, his homework was put away by A Niang, and the family of three ate hot broth around the iron stove.

The heavy snow fell one after another, and it quickly piled up. After eating, a hole could be made on the road with one foot.

Yin Jixue couldn't bear it any longer, so she sneaked to a deserted place in the palace to build a snowman.Although there is snow in her name, as a southerner in her last life, she has never seen such a heavy snow, and she has never seen a single snowfall in her last life.

She didn't have a carrot for her nose, so she used green agate for her eyes and a red gemstone for her nose.

"Hey, your value has skyrocketed in an instant." Yin Jixue patted her frozen, red hands that were about to lose consciousness, admiring her masterpiece with her hands on her hips.

She is wearing a thick wind-resistant cloak, with a rabbit fur collar and a short beanie at the cuffs, a white snow-colored rabbit fur scarf around her neck, and plush cuffs inside the beanie. The material is exquisite and warm.Brown fur boots.She didn't feel the cold at all, and only had the flush of excitement from making a snowman for the first time on her face.

"It actually dropped the temperature to minus [-] degrees?"

Yin Jixue couldn't believe her eyes, but the temperature display in the lower right corner of the system was -20°C. How could this be possible? !
Even if she has never been to the north again, she knows that without a down jacket, it will definitely be freezing in minus twenty degrees.However, she is a mortal body, and she can withstand such cold weather with only fur to keep out the cold, so she feels something is wrong no matter what.

But after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't think of a clue. After all, she didn't have any health problems after eating the food of the demons. Maybe she adapted to the climate of the demons?
Twenty degrees below zero is acceptable for ordinary demons of the demon race. They can go out to work in thin clothes. If it is any colder, it will affect their mobility.

I heard that the other three demon kings are going to hibernate. They will sleep in a warm place from the first snowfall until spring comes.

And her demon king is still out and hasn't come home, so he probably won't be able to fall asleep looking at the situation of the demon clan.

Yin Jixue was worried that the Demon King would endure hardships and cold outside. After all, Fengxiu and Ruoshui were old people in the palace, and from their perspective, the Demon King was not a big villain.

Although the Demon King has made the development of Black Dragon City a mess, it's not that he is lazy, but that Black Dragon City is already in dire straits.

The main reason is that the transportation is underdeveloped, and there are eighteen bends in the mountain roads everywhere. The plants in the deep forest are not edible, and even most of them are poisonous. Even the demons will be poisoned into a pool of black water.

The continuous mountains block the city, and foreign merchants only pass by once a year, and because they are poor, they can't exchange for any good things.If it wasn't for the respect of the demon king with top fighting power, no one would come to this remote city.

Fortunately, the only advantage of Black Dragon City is that the prices are so low that there is almost nothing, that is, caravans can be repaired in Black Dragon City without spending a lot of money.

This is the predicament of the Demon Race.

Now that Yin Jixue broke the situation, she identified the location of the mining area with her golden finger, which gave the impoverished Black Dragon City a glimmer of life.

The magic crystal mine can be mined for at least a hundred years. During this period, Black Dragon City cannot rely on mining to make a living, and diversified industries must develop.

Yin Jixue still remembers what she said in her high school geography class that a single industry is prone to economic collapse, and in the end it has to be transformed. Industrial transformation is not 100% successful, so it is better to diversify industries from the beginning.

Although no money has been made this year, there are at least three mining areas, and there are printing factories and construction teams in the city.

She has a plan in mind. When the spring begins, the printing factory will recruit more people, and by the way, agriculture will be developed. Each household will be allocated a piece of land, and strive to end the big pot next year.

Yin Jixue felt like he had brought the town games he had played into reality, but the difference was that these residents were living demons.To say that there is really no pressure, let alone anxiety.It may be that she has a big heart. For her, Black Dragon City changes a little every day, and everyone's life is becoming more and more hopeful. This is developing in a good direction.

Fengxiu and Ruoshui hid out of sight, Teng Snake and Gou Chen also leaned on the pillar, their directions coincidently facing Yin Jixue's figure.

Fengxiu held her face with love in her eyes: "His Royal Highness is so cute, she came out secretly to build a snowman."

Teng Snake folded his arms and said coolly: "The place where Her Royal Highness lives will not have such a heavy snow."

Gou Chen added: "For humans, such a heavy snow should not be able to survive."

Ruoshui was displeased: "His Royal Highness is also a human being, and she lives in peace even when it snows, so don't underestimate human beings."

Feng Xiu was surprised: "Ruoshui, it's not like what you said, you have changed!"

Ruoshui blushed: "I just changed my previous opinion."

The four of them are the confidantes of the Demon King, but at the same time they have absolute freedom.They dedicate their lives to the king, as long as they don't betray the devil, they are the second most noble in Black Dragon City.

But they are now convinced of the queen, and they are surrendering and respecting from the bottom of their hearts.

In terms of force value, the queen must be invincible to anyone, but the queen made Black Dragon City reborn and solved the century-long dilemma of Black Dragon City.

Before the queen, it's not that they didn't think about looking for the magic crystal mine.However, magic crystal mines are rare, and only three were found in the entire Sky Continent, which is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

And Her Highness the Queen pointed out that the Magic Crystal Mine was outside the Black Dragon City.

Yin Jixue's interest in the snowman dissipated, and she took off the agate and gemstones to sneak back to the palace.

She looked left and right, but there was no one around, so she trotted back with her skirt in hand.

Not long after leaving, Feng Xiu and others appeared.

Fengxiu: "Let's keep the snowman. If the king comes back, he can also see the snowman made by the queen himself."

Ruoshui was the first to agree, and the other two had no objection.

A cloud of black mist appeared on Fengxiu's hands, and everyone didn't take it seriously. A cloud of black mist appeared on everyone's hands and covered the Snowman.

After they left, the snowman remained where he was, while the passing maids and guards seemed to turn a blind eye.

...

Pudge is a barefoot doctor. He doesn't need to work in the mines. As long as he runs a medical clinic, he counts his working hours. He is very satisfied with this job.

Today he treated a little demon doll who had a fever. The child was only three years old and had a fever because he caught a cold while playing in the snow.

The doll is premature and frail.Now there are cafeterias where all demons can eat and will not be hungry anymore, but children can't help but freeze.

According to his own memory, he went out to find a kind of tree and picked out a piece of bark.

This kind of tree can't be eaten. There was a demon in their village who was so hungry that he had nowhere to go.

However, the bark can be crushed and applied to the forehead and navel to treat fever.

The child was placed in the "ward" for observation. The medical hall consisted of a lobby for consultation and dispensing, and three wards, each with two beds.

He chatted with the child's parents, they all work in the mine, his father is in the magic crystal mine, and his mother was assigned to the coal mine, and she is still the supervisor of the coal mine.

Mining was stopped outside Daxuetian City, the mine cafeteria was still open, and their daily meals remained the same.The city sent someone to notify the supervisor to suspend work, and they stayed in the dormitory honestly. This winter, Black Dragon City will not freeze to death any demons.
