CHAPTER 1128: CHAPTER 1128: WINTER IS COMING

Although they had famous doctors like Mr. Dan He and Bai Junjun, the cold wind could still be deadly, and Yuwen Luanfei had previously suffered a serious illness. If a cold triggered a relapse, it would be disastrous.

So when Wenren Pingting saw Yuwen Luanfei sneezing all morning, she anxiously draped a blanket from the bed over him.

At this moment, Yuwen Luanfei was engrossed in reading the work logs translated by Lady Lin.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shan Hai’s female disciple was so skilled, she could actually decipher the hand scrolls retrieved from the old site of Jinyan Country.

Lady Lin even translated the hand scrolls, and both he and Mr. Shan Hai each got a copy. The two of them, taking advantage of the rainy days when they couldn’t go out to work, devoured the scrolls day and night, occasionally gathering to discuss them.

Although the other old scholars wanted to help, after a while of staring at those Heavenly Book-like diagrams and data charts, they all backed off in confusion to assist Mr. Dan He with handling the Luminous sand.

Yuwen Luanfei didn’t expect his young wife to cover him with a blanket from the bed; he was amused and held Wenren Pingting’s hand, only to find, surprisingly, that her hand was even colder than his. In recent days, she had been rushing to make clothes for everyone, and her hands had become rough.

Yuwen Luanfei felt a twinge of pity: "It’s because I’m useless that I haven’t been able to give you the life you once had."

"Please don’t say that." Wenren Pingting shook her head disagreeably: "I find self-reliance very rewarding. And since everyone is contributing to us, we too contribute to everyone. It’s only fair."

The life here was genuinely fair; no one had private possessions, and everything they did was for the community and not for themselves.

In this way, there was no distinction of social status or rank.

Wenren Pingting genuinely loved life here; she didn’t have to worry about so many rules or think about the future of the family. She only needed to stay by Yuwen Luanfei’s side and live happily.

Yuwen Luanfei nostalgically pulled his young wife into his arms: "Once the flowers bloom in spring outside, we will go out to procure some supplies."

Everything here was good, except the scarcity of fabric.

However, unlike crops, you couldn’t just plant fabric in the ground and have it grow on its own.

It still required labor to process, and with limited materials here, they could only wait until spring to plant in large quantities, ensuring adequate clothing for next winter.

This winter, everyone just had to endure.

As the couple warmed each other, there was a knock at the door.

Wenren Pingting hurriedly got up from Yuwen Luanfei’s embrace, tidied her appearance, and placed the blanket back on the bed before coming out to open the door.

Standing outside was Bai Sasa, holding a piece of earth-yellow fur.

"Where did this fur come from?" Wenren Pingting asked, somewhat surprised.

"A while ago, Brother Ah Dao and I went hunting in the mountains. In recent days, Brother Qiu San has been teaching me how to stretch fur, and I managed to make a few fur vests. Although the quality isn’t as good as tribute offerings, they are just as warm. This is a gift for Sister Pingting and Brother Fei."

Bai Sasa answered crisply, her voice brimming with unconcealed joy.

Curious, Yuwen Luanfei came out and spread open the fur in Bai Sasa’s hands to see, and although the style was simple, it was obviously very warm.

He admired it fondly: "Sasa, is this really made for me?"

"Mm, mm." Bai Sasa nodded, feeling guilty.

Originally made for her elder sister and Brother Fox, but since they had better ones, she presented it as a borrowed offering to them.
