Chapter 530 Sleeping Pills in the Middle of the Night

As the sun set and night fell, all the hustle and bustle was instantly annihilated by the darkness, and everything inside and outside the tribe became quiet.

This is one of the great benefits of primitive times.

Without those ubiquitous lighting facilities that illuminate the night as if it were day, people in this era are doomed to not be able to work around the clock and die like the later generations.

As long as you lie on the kang and sleep obediently, and don't sing those primitive tunes too much, you can still get enough sleep.

However, among these people, Han Cheng was not included.

In the darkness, he opened his eyes and couldn't stop thinking about how to solve the Kongming Lantern issue.

Stones, pottery, bones, leather, trees... He considered these things one by one many times, but found that none of them could replace the wire.

This discovery made his head mess up and his mood became a little irritable.

After I don't know how long this state lasted, Han Cheng became even more impatient.

Because he had already decided to ignore these things for now, and after having a good night's sleep, he found that his mind was still in a mess, and he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Insomnia has always been a very uncomfortable thing.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Han Cheng, still unable to sleep and feeling uncomfortable all over, decided to give up resisting.

At this time, if you want to sleep peacefully, you can't rely on yourself alone. You must take a sleeping pill.

Otherwise, this night and tomorrow will be ruined.

After making such a decision, Han Cheng groped down the kang.

Taking advantage of the faint red light from the mouth of the fire pit, Han Cheng picked up a grass stalk that was easily ignited, opened the almost sealed kang mouth a little, and stuck the long grass stalk in. In the dark fire.

After waiting for a while, as the smoke rose, a flame rose.

Han Cheng pulled out the burning grass stem and lit the oil lamp on the earthen platform.

The room suddenly became much brighter.

Han Cheng extinguished the burning grass,

He quickly sealed the burner opening of the kang until there was only a small gap left.

In just a short while, the fire inside the kang became much bigger.

It won't work if it goes on like this, the kang will be too hot to sleep in a short time.

After doing this, Han Cheng, who was a little chilled from the cold, quickly got on the kang and got into the warm bed.

The previous preparations have been done, and now he is going to start taking sleeping pills.

After warming her hands, she reached out and touched Bai Xuemei who was sleeping beside her, shaking her gently constantly.

In her sleep, Bai Xuemei uttered a few whispers in her sleep, and then opened her sleepy eyes.

Han Cheng smiled and leaned closer to Bai Xuemei.

Bai Xuemei, who was already familiar with these things, did not even say a word. After propping up her body with two arms, she fell down again and began to feed Han Cheng sleeping pills.

It is not sloppy at all, and has the straightforward style of primitive people.

This kind of sleeping pill is undoubtedly very comfortable to take, just look at Han Chenggong who is looking at Bai Xuemei with a cheap smile on his face.

The sleeping pills took a little too long to feed.

It wasn't over until Bai Xuemei's cheeks were numb and stiff.

It was said that Han Cheng took sleeping pills, but in the end it was Bai Xuemei who ate something.

Even so, the effect is surprisingly good.

Just after the process of feeding the medicine, Han Chengcheng felt sleepy.

Reaching out his hand to gently pinch Bai Xuemei's face, Han Cheng endured his exhaustion and got up to blow on the lamp.

The wick made of twine leaned against the bowl of the oil lamp, burning quietly. The orange flame was shaken by the wind brought by Han Cheng.

Han Cheng, who was about to blow it out, took a big breath and held it in his chest, and didn't blow it out immediately.

Looking at the burning wick with both eyes, he seemed a little dazed.

After this state lasted for a short while, an uncontrollable joy flooded my heart.

"call!"

This kind of stillness lasted for about thirty or forty seconds before Han Cheng exhaled the foul breath.

The flame jumped, and without any extra resistance, it went out all of a sudden.

Han Cheng groped back to the kang, got into bed, reached out to hold Bai Xuemei's hand in his hand, and hugged Bai Xuemei to his side, and his spirit became more excited.

However, this kind of excitement is different from the previous kind of irritability without any clue, but with a kind of relief and relaxation of finding a solution.

Coupled with another dose of sleeping pills given by Bai Xuemei, Han Cheng fell asleep after lying here and thinking about things for a while...

Early the next morning, Han Cheng got busy and started to verify the solution he thought of last night in a flash of inspiration.

First, I went to the pile of pottery bowls and found some small ones, which were thinner and lighter than the rest.

Then I started to drill holes on the rim of the bowl with something, and drilled four holes in total, facing each other in a cross shape.

Four more thin leather ropes were found to pass through the four holes.

After doing this, tie the other ends of the four leather ropes to the skeleton of the Kongming Lantern.

The length of the four ropes is the same, so that the pottery bowl can be kept in the center under the Kongming lantern.

Stone and Lame are extremely concerned about the Kongming Lantern.

So yesterday, when they came back from collecting the turpentine, under the guidance of Han Cheng, they boiled the turpentine in a small bowl, smeared it on the skeleton of the Kongming lantern with a piece of bamboo strips, and then put the washed away The snake skin covered it.

Today, it has been completely done, and the snake skin is extremely firm.

Han Cheng put another ball of sackcloth soaked in turpentine into the pottery bowl with holes drilled in it.

Shi Shi, whose excited hands trembled a little, held a Kongming lantern that was a circle larger than the ones common in later generations, and straightened a few leather ropes.

Han Cheng stretched a burning stick into the pottery bowl.

The sackcloth soaked in turpentine is extremely easy to burn, and it didn't take long to touch it, and a ball of flames with green smoke was already ignited.

Because the opening under the Kongming lantern is much larger than the bowl, and the distance between the bowl and the Kongming lantern is relatively close, after the leather rope is straightened, the four ropes tied to the edge of the bowl are formed between the bowl and the bowl. An obtuse angle exceeding one hundred and forty degrees.

In this way, except for the connection of the bowl edge, the rest of the place is farther and farther away from the bowl, avoiding the top of the bowl, and is not easy to be burned by the flame.

The heat rises and the cold falls. As a person with high scores in the comprehensive and old exams, he still remembers this clearly.

As the flame continued to burn, the airflow under the Kongming lantern began to go up due to the heat, and all of it was poured into the Kongming lantern with the top sealed.

"let go."

After waiting like this for a while, Han Cheng spoke.

Shi Shi was very worried that if he let go, the lamp that took half a day to make yesterday would fall down and be destroyed by fire.

It's just that after Shenzi said so, he also let go of his hand after hesitating for a while...

(Just now when I opened the background, I saw a Wanshou, and my drowsy mind instantly woke up. Thanks to the book friend LE Liangren for the reward and the support of all book friends, thank you! To start the dissertation defense, until now I have basically been in a state of not writing much, and my heart is in a panic... I can only wait for the dark days of the past)
