In the castle, quiet and silent.

The people sitting around the fire held the flowers they planted in their hands, and did not speak, only the occasional crackling sound of firewood.

Ed added two table legs to the brazier.

Eric couldn't help but say, "Add a little more, it's a little more warm."

"What a joke? It's warm when the fire is too big, but it's also a waste of firewood." Ed looked at him unhappy, "I have to go out again after the fire is finished."

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

Ed was a little angry, "It's light. Do you know how hard it is to get a batch of wood? If you have the ability, you can get supplies next time!"

Eric shrank his neck, blew the heat into his palm, and replied, "I'll just go, add some wood, I'm really cold."

Ed sneered and prepared to take the wood.

But Brian reached out to stop him.

"So what's wrong?" Eric was anxious, "Don't let go of wood! I've said it, I'll go out to find supplies later, right? At least let me warm up now!"

"We can't go out for the time being." Brian looked at him lightly and said calmly, "Go to the city to find supplies, go back and forth for at least two hours. Moreover, the supplies are not placed on the street waiting for you to pick them up. Most of the places are frozen, which is quite difficult and time-consuming to find. In the near future, the woman will come back to check the flower seeds. At this critical moment, we'd better stay here and no one should go out."

Eric looked a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but he did not force the firewood to be added any more.

Cheng Wei looked at the three of them and kindly advised: "Everyone insists on persisting, and when the seeds sprout, we will overcome the first difficulty..."

"Is there a sprout in just a few hours?" Ed murmured in a low voice.

Cheng Weicai was not sure. He sighed and picked up a small bowl next to the brazier - the ice inside had melted into water, 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 of the water cup is always wet.

When the others saw this, they also added water to their lids.

Cheng Wei told them: "Don't have too much water, don't flood it, and don't pour it directly on the seeds, as the water flow will wash away the surface soil."

"I'm so troublesome..." Ed complained, but he still did.

He was already very careful and slow, and even held his breathing, but the pouring force seemed to be too high, and it washed away a lot of soil in an instant, revealing a little green color under the soil layer.

"...Oh?Oh?Oh?Oh!!!" Ed shouted, "Hey! Old man, please see if I sprout?!"

Cheng Wei hurried over, and Brian and Eric got closer.

The fire shines, and the little fresh green in the soil is particularly conspicuous.

"Yes, you have sprouted!" Cheng Wei said quickly, "Let it go quickly, don't touch it, be careful!"

"Mine seems to have sprouted too." Brian picked up his cup lid and took it to Cheng Weicai.

Not so obvious, a small raised bud was 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 couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

At this time, the center of the soil trembled slightly, and a little tender green poked out from the soil, so small and so delicate, as if breathing a little bigger would hurt it.

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

Everyone looked at Eric at the same time.

Only his seeds have not sprouted yet.

Eric held the lid of the cup and stared at it with great grudges, "...weird, why didn't I move?"
