Chapter 837: The Heavy Snow That Falls Suddenly

After covering it, Han Cheng came to the front wall.

There was a small kang built here, and Xiao Wandou fell asleep on it alone.

At this time, the little pea was also curled up into a ball frozen.

Han Chengban walked over with his shoes on, bent down and picked up his sleeping son, and came to the side of the big kang where they slept, lifted the animal skin mattress a little, put the little pea next to Xiao Xing'er, and put the animal skin The mattress is covered, and the edges and corners are tucked in to prevent the wind from escaping.

This day is really strange, how come it becomes so cold all of a sudden?

After doing this, Han Cheng, who shrunk his neck in the cold, murmured in his heart, and pulled out his tiger skin cloak from a simple cabinet in the room, and wrapped it around his body.

Originally, I wanted to go out and find some firewood to burn the kang, but when I was about to open the door, I changed my mind.

Holding the lamp, he walked towards the room at the other end of the house.

This is the house where Wu and Yuan lived.

The relationship between Wu and Yuan is really good. Han Cheng came in quietly with an oil lamp, and found that they were hugging each other when they were sleeping.

The round head rested on Wu's arm.

This unexpected mouthful of old dog food made Han Cheng feel very comfortable.

It seems that Wu must be reminded in the future that the two of them should not be allowed to sleep in this position again.

This is not because Han Cheng was fed dog food, but because he often sleeps in this position, one person is prone to frozen shoulder, and the other is prone to cervical spondylosis, especially when it is cold.

It's like a girl cooking chicken soup for a boy, but it wasn't cooked enough, and when the girl blamed herself, the boy said affectionately, as long as it was made by you, I would like to eat it, and then the two of you would take a bite of each other, sweetly After drinking the chicken soup, the poisonous chicken soup stems that both died of chicken plague the next day were much more real.

The examples of frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis tell us that when showing affection, we must master the correct method.

Seeing the two of them sleeping soundly, Han Cheng didn't wake them up. Instead, he walked out slowly with the oil lamp in his hand, opened the door and closed it again, and just as he came outside, a gust of cold air rushed towards him. .

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Wake up,

Wake up! Don't sleep! Get up and some people carry firewood into the house and burn the kang! "

Holding a lamp and wearing a tiger skin cloak, Han Cheng walked to the house where everyone lived, knocked on the door one by one, offered free wake-up service, and urged everyone to get up and burn the kang.

This year, the frost has not yet fallen. According to the practice of previous years, it will take a long time for it to become particularly cold, so the tribe has not yet started to burn the kang.

But at this time, the weather suddenly turned cold, so we could only burn the kang quickly.

At this time, it is no different from later generations. Although the tribe at this time has some treatments, these treatments are only superficial, and many diseases cannot be cured. After all, Han Cheng was not a medical student when he was a later generation.

At this time, catching a cold or catching a cold may kill a person, especially children and the elderly with weak resistance.

It was precisely because of this situation that Han Cheng came out to call the door as soon as he realized that the temperature had dropped suddenly at night, so that the sleeping people could get up and burn the kang.

If you ignore it, someone will get wind and cold when you get up early.

As Han Cheng knocked on the door and shouted, the sleeping people were awakened by Han Cheng.

Some people were in a daze, and when they heard the shout, they subconsciously moved their hands to the side.

Regular training has kept them from losing the alertness they should have.

Then he came to his senses, heard who the voice was outside, and understood the meaning of the words.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the night had suddenly become so cold.

With Han Cheng knocking on the door and shouting, the sleeping Qingque tribe was awakened, and it became more lively after a while.

"Go over there and wake up the people living in the other rooms, let them get up, and burn all the kangs in the room, and let people go to the slave yard to wake them up, and burn the kangs in the same way. .”

Han Cheng explained to the elder brother who came out of the room and some other people.

Then I went to the place where the firewood was stored with more people to hold the firewood.

After waking up some people and explaining the tasks, Han Cheng ignored them, but returned to the house where he lived with some firewood.

Put part of the firewood in the room where they live, and the other part in the room where the witch lives.

When Han Cheng carried the firewood to Wu's room, Wu was woken up by the sound outside, and was blowing on the fire bag vigorously there.

"God, what's the matter?"

Seeing Han Cheng coming in with firewood and a lamp in his arms, Wu hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's just that it's suddenly cold, I wake up the people and let them all burn the kang."

Han Cheng said while putting the firewood on the ground.

Seeing that Wu put on his clothes and was about to get up, Han Cheng hurriedly stopped him: "Don't get up, it's so cold, don't catch a cold, I've already shouted at people, and I've explained everything, there's nothing else to do."

"I'll light up the kang."

Hearing what Han Cheng said, Wu was relieved a lot, but he still wanted to get up.

"No, I'll just burn it up for you, anyway, I'm already up."

Han Cheng stopped again.

"Son of God, go and burn the kang you sleep on, I will do it here."

Yuan also woke up at this time, and when he saw this, he said aloud, and immediately got up, and supported Wu, so that Wu could lie back on the bed again.

Seeing this, the witch didn't insist anymore, Yuan Ze took the animal skin clothes beside him and put them on top of the linen clothes he was wearing, and started to gather firewood and put it in the kang.

Seeing this, Han Cheng returned to the room where he lived with the oil lamp in his hand.

Here, I have to praise Bai Xuemei for being so sleepy. After making such a big commotion, the child's bride-in-law didn't know anything about it, and she was still sound asleep.

The two young ones followed their mothers, and they also slept soundly. After falling asleep at night, they were the masters who betrayed them without knowing it.

Han Cheng shook his head and smiled, put the oil lamp on the table, then opened the sealed kang, and put the firewood he had brought back inside.

After putting in a certain amount of dry wood, he picked up some firewood for lighting, moved it to the lamp to light it, and put it in the kang to light the dry firewood.

The so-called dry firewood refers to firewood that is resistant to burning such as branches and trunks, while raw firewood refers to things such as hay, straw, and dry tree leaves.

Standing here, Han Cheng watched the fire burning under the kang. After a while, he stretched out his hand to feel the top of the kang. After feeling that the temperature was about the same, he put some firewood inside and sealed the opening of the kang, leaving only Small holes, so that the firewood can burn slowly.

After finishing the work, Han Chengcai took off the tiger skin cloak and clothes, lay down on the kang, covered him with a mattress, and blew out the lights.

Lying on the heated kang, I suddenly didn't feel the cold anymore, I just felt very comfortable all over my body.

Lying here, Han Cheng thought about the suddenly cold weather for a while, and fell asleep after not taking long.

The noise outside also slowly disappeared, and eventually calm was restored. Only behind the rows of houses and the erected chimneys, there was a faint smoke coming out, and the air was filled with the smell of burning firewood.

The Qingque tribe has a kang for heating, and people can sleep peacefully in this suddenly cold temperature, but the rest of the tribe can't do it.

Just like the Blackstone tribe far in the north.

The flickering flames made the shadows in the cave jump uncontrollably, the bark of hay was placed under the body, and the animal skin covering the body was tightly wrapped.

Even that didn't work, my body was still cold, so I tried my best to lean against the fire, and leaned closely with the rest of the people sleeping here.

Most of the rest of the people also felt the cold, and their reaction was similar to that of tree bark. They all squeezed in the direction of other people and the fire, so as to be warmer.

Although it was cold, it still couldn't resist the drowsiness, but what was uncomfortable was that the tree bark felt the urge to urinate in the midst of sleepiness.

But he didn't get up. On the one hand, it was because he was sleepy, and on the other hand, it was too cold outside, and he didn't want to go out.

Not to mention the rest, just listening to the faint sound of howling wind, the bark didn't want to go outside.

It's just that this kind of thinking still couldn't resist the increasingly strong desire to urinate. After the bark stiffened here for a while, he finally gave in, got up from the dry grass, wrapped the animal skin tightly around his body, and walked towards the cave exit. direction.

Lifting the smaller stone slab blocking the entrance of the cave, the howling cold wind poured in instantly.

Along with the cold wind, there were some other things that hit the face coolly and painfully.

It's snowing this is? !

The tree bark was startled, he quickly leaned the stone slab to one side, squinted his eyes and looked outside.

I saw that there was a faint white light reflected on the originally dark ground at this time, which was obviously snowing.

The tree bark, which was shivering from the cold, became even more trembling after confirming that it was really snowing.

As a person of this era, he doesn't like snow at all.

The Blackstone Tribe doesn't have a calendar, so their knowledge of the days of each year is naturally not as accurate as that of the Qingque Tribe.

But the general impression is still there, just like now, the bark can know that compared with previous years, the snow fell much earlier this year.

Because at this time, the leaves on the tree have not completely fallen, and many of them are still green.

And there are some small yellow flowers that are still blooming and have not withered.

In the past, even if the snow fell early, it always started to fall after these things withered and withered.

For primitive tribes, heavy snow often represents cold, hunger and death, especially the heavy snow that fell prematurely.

This is simply a disaster!

After standing here in a daze for a while, the bark was blown awake by the cold wind.

It was snowing outside and the wind was blowing so cold, he was not going to go outside to relieve himself.

Right now, I stood at the entrance of the cave, and with all my strength, I started to release water against the howling cold wind.

To say that the physical quality of the bark is still very good, with such a cold wind, he just pushed it outside the entrance of the cave.

If this were replaced by a weaker or older person, I'm afraid I would be stunned.

The released water will be returned to you by the enthusiastic cold wind before it hits the ground. It is no longer a legend that the flooded water is hard to recover...

After shivering violently, the bark quickly wrapped the animal skin on his body, then quickly blocked the entrance of the cave with stone slabs, and then trotted all the way back to the sleeping place with his arms hunched.

In the past, the place where he slept had been occupied by people.

For the people who occupied his sleeping place in his sleep, Bark was very good at it. He didn't wake them up, and didn't drag them, but just lay down along the gap between the two. Go down and put your hands on the faces of the people on both sides.

The experience just now froze his entire body. Going here, those who touched him immediately had goosebumps on their bodies, and then quickly gave up his occupied position.

The speed is simply not too fast.

Because of the falling snow outside, the bark lay here worrying for a long time.

However, when he realized that he was no longer the leader of the tribe, and that the Blackstone tribe was not the bottom of the list, and because the surrounding tribes had to offer sacrifices, the food of the Blackstone tribe was not very short. just disappeared.

He lay here, tightly wrapped in animal skins, squeezed against the fire, and soon fell asleep...

"#V?!"

Early the next morning, when we removed the stone slabs blocking the entrance of the tribe's cave, and looked at the white snow outside and the snowflakes that were still falling slowly, someone shouted loudly.

After such a sound sounded, the cave immediately became lively, and everyone flocked to the entrance of the cave to look outside.

After seeing everything that became white overnight, many people were stunned.

The leader of the Blackstone tribe also looked a little dull.

After a while, he reacted.

"￥%6!"

The leader of the Blackstone tribe started to yell, and pointed his finger to the depths of the cave, where a large amount of food was stored.

After hearing the leader of the Blackstone tribe shouting, and seeing the direction his hand was pointing at, the members of the Blackstone tribe were stunned for a moment, and their hearts immediately relaxed.

Yes! They are no longer the weak tribe they used to be. There is still a lot of food stored in the caves of their tribe at this time. Even if it snows now, they don't have to worry about anything.

As a result, the atmosphere in the tribe quickly became more relaxed.

There are even some people who feel happy because after the snow falls, they don't need to go outside to get food.

In the following days, I only need to eat and sleep, and hum a little song when I have energy.

As for the activity of beating bark, it can't be carried out now. This guy has now completely become his own, and his status in the tribe is not particularly low.

Sensing the changes in the crowd, the leader of the Blackstone tribe became happy.

With food in hand, don't panic.

They couldn't sum up such incisive and brief words, but everyone in their tribe could basically understand this.

The tribes living around the Blackstone Tribe, such as the Grass Tribe, who have fish cages, bows and arrows, reacted similarly to the Blackstone Tribe after discovering that their eyes were white overnight.

Although there is some fear and worry, there is still some peace of mind in this fear and worry.

After all, a lot of food has been stored in their tribe.

But not all tribesmen, like them, obtained these two artifacts.

Those who have these are, after all, only a few people.

Those who did not save enough food were stunned immediately after removing the stone slabs blocking the entrance of the cave in the morning, and some even cried directly.

Because for them, this surprise gift package from God is too big, too big to be accepted.

"WE#4!"

The leader of the tribe wiped away his tears, shouted loudly, and took out all the hides stored in the cave, and asked everyone in the tribe to wrap them on their bodies.

Then, with crude weapons and tools, and the people in the tribe, they walked outside.

Stepping on the snow, facing the cold wind, and drenched in the falling snowflakes, we walked all the way forward.

According to the past, this time can only be regarded as late autumn at best, and many fruits on the trees have not been picked, so they can still get a lot of food when they brave the severe cold and snow to go out at this time.

Of course, you need to endure the cold, and even prepare for some people to be frostbitten or freeze to death.

But, what else can I do otherwise?

There has never been a quiet time in this world. When someone is carrying the weight for you, you can experience this kind of quiet time, but when no one is carrying the weight for you, you need to bear it all yourself.

No matter what era you are in, it is not easy to live well.

There are quite a few tribes and many people who have exhausted all their energy just to survive...

"Squeak~"

In the friction between the door shaft and the lintel, there was a creaking sound, and the closed door was opened from the inside. Compared with yesterday, Little Pea, who was wearing a layer of clothes, ran out of the room. It's a bit chubby, like a panda Tuantuan who just sits there holding a piece of bamboo as sugarcane when he's free.

Behind Little Pea, who rolled out like a ball with short legs, followed by Xiao Xing'er, who was more like a ball.

The way of walking is still not firm, and he stumbles.

It's just that children like to play with older children, so they still move their short legs and walk hard behind Little Pea.

Behind him is Han Cheng, the daddy.

After looking at the two children for a while, Han Cheng looked away.

On the tribal haystack, there is a piece of white flowers.

Those were not snowflakes that fell, but frostflakes.

No wonder it was so cold last night, so thick frost fell all of a sudden!

Looking at these frost flowers, Han Cheng showed a look of enlightenment.

This time, the temperature dropped so much at once, it can also be said to be a cold wave.

Fortunately, by now, the tribe has harvested everything that should be harvested. Except for some rapeseed with small leaves, there is nothing in the field, otherwise, the loss will be great!

And these rapeseeds are crops that can survive the winter, and they are not afraid of heavy snow and ice in winter. Such frost does not do much damage to them.

Han Cheng thought happily.

But not long after, Han Cheng's complexion suddenly changed.

After greeting Bai Xuemei and letting her look at Xiaowandou and their brothers and sisters, mainly Xiaoxing'er, Han Cheng hurried outside.

Before walking far, Wu and Bugs Bunny came in from the outside, with sad and panicked faces.

Looking at this posture, Han Cheng knew that something bad would happen nine out of ten, and his worries just now should have come true.

"God, Son of God. Bai, cabbage, radish..."

Bugs Bunny stuttered and spoke, he couldn't speak well.

At the same time, Han Cheng's conjecture was confirmed.

"Come on, come and have a look with me."

After Han Cheng nodded to Bugs Rabbit, he said to Wu and the others, and then they rushed to the vegetable field outside the tribe's wall.

Outside the Qingque tribe, not too far from the threshing ground, there is a large piece of flat land, which is about seventy or eighty acres.

These lands are the vegetable gardens of the Qingque tribe.

One mu of garden equals ten mu of field, which is the vegetable garden.

This one mu is equal to ten mu, not only talking about income, but also labor intensity.

Taking care of the vegetable garden is the most time-consuming work, watering, weeding, pecking insects, fertilizing... I can't rest at all, and I have to go to the ground every day.

Of course, this is the vegetable garden of later generations, not the vegetable garden of the Qingque Tribe.

In the vegetable garden of the Qingque tribe, except for onions and garlic, most of the rest are only planted in early autumn, and the radishes and cabbages that have not been successfully cultivated in the previous season are planted for eating in winter.

There are also some lands where some ash vegetables will be planted in spring.

Of course, this is not because the people in the tribe are lazy, but because there are fewer vegetables.

At this time of the previous year, it was when cabbage and radishes were growing hard and working hard for the final results, and the whole vegetable garden seemed to be thriving.

But now, this vegetable garden is indeed a miserable scene.

There were some purple radish leaves on the stems, and they were all frozen to the ground at this time, which was worse than frost-beaten eggplants, and they looked as if they had been scalded.

Cabbage leaves with some frost blooms look better than radishes.

However, it is more miserable than before.

The cabbage of the Qingque tribe is cultivated step by step from rapeseed. It should not be afraid of frost, after all, rapeseed can survive the winter.

But don't forget one thing, that is the planting time of cabbage and rapeseed.

The Chinese cabbage of the Qingque tribe was planted in early autumn. By this time, the whole body has grown, and it is the time to prepare Baotou and save the heart. It will also stop growing.

And people grow cabbage to eat it as a vegetable. If it stops growing at this time, the production will basically be reduced by half, or even more!

Rapeseed is different. Rapeseed mainly needs rapeseed. It stops or grows extremely slowly in winter, which does not affect its growth after spring...
