Chapter 996 Ice Queen 6

There was silence in the castle.

The people sitting around the fire, holding the flowers they planted in their hands, did not speak. Only the occasional crackling sound of firewood was made.

Ed added two table legs to the brazier.

Eric couldn't help but said: "Add more, make the fire stronger to keep it warm."

"Are you kidding? A big fire will keep you warm, but it will also cost firewood." Ed was unhappy and glanced at him, "After the fire is finished, I have to go out again."

"Even if you burn slowly, the wood will be burned out sooner or later, and you will still have to go out again." Eric said, "You should carry more tables and benches back."

Ed was a little angry, "That's easy to say. Do you know how hard it is to go out and get a batch of wood? If you have the ability, go get supplies next time!"

Eric shrank his neck, blew hot air into his palm, and replied: "I'll go, I'll go, add more wood, I'm really cold."

Ed sneered and prepared to get the wood.

But Brian stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What's wrong?" Eric was anxious, "Don't be reluctant to part with the wood! I told you, I'll go out to find supplies in a while, right? At least let me stay warm now!"

"We can't go out for the time being." Brian looked at him lightly and said calmly, "It will take at least two hours to go back and forth to find supplies in the city, and the supplies are not left on the street waiting for you to pick them up. Most places are blocked by ice. It is quite difficult and time-consuming to find, and soon the woman will come back to check the flower seeds. At this juncture, it is best for us to stay here and no one goes out."

Eric looked a little dissatisfied after hearing this, but he didn't force any more firewood.

Chengweicai looked at the three of them and kindly advised: "Everyone, if you keep at it, when the seeds sprout, we will be able to overcome the first difficulty..."

"Can it sprout in just a few hours..." Ed muttered in a low voice.

Cheng Weicai was unsure, so he sighed and picked up a small bowl next to the brazier - the ice cubes inside had melted into warm water.

Chengweicai picked up the bowl and carefully poured water along the edge of the cup lid to ensure that the soil in the cup lid was always moist.

When others saw it, they also added water to their own cup lids one after another.

Cheng Weicai warned them: "Don't water too much, don't flood it, and don't water the seeds directly. The water flow will wash away the top soil."

"It's so troublesome..." Ed complained, but still did as he was told.

He had been very careful and slow, even holding his breath, but the force of the dumping 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 shouted, "Hey! Old man, look quickly, have I sprouted?!"

Cheng Wei hurried over, and Brian and Eric also came closer.

The firelight shines, and the little bit of fresh green in the soil is particularly conspicuous.

"Yes, your seeds have sprouted!" Cheng Weicai said quickly, "Put it down quickly, don't touch it, be careful!"

"Mine seems to have sprouted too." Brian picked up the lid of his cup and held it in front of Cheng Weicai.

It's not so obvious, but you can vaguely see a small raised bud under the soil layer.

Cheng Weicai quickly looked at his own soil. The soil that had just been watered was moist and dark black. He didn't see any changes. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

At this time, the center of the soil trembled slightly, and a bit of green protruded from the soil. It was so small and fragile, as if breathing a little louder would hurt it.

Chengwei slowly put down the lid of the cup and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mine has sprouted too..."

Everyone looked at Eric in unison.

Only his seeds have not yet sprouted.

Eric held the lid of the cup and stared at it bitterly, "...Strange, why doesn't mine move?"
