The three of them worked hard and spent most of the day to carve out the shape of the charcoal kiln.
Jiang Xue didn't specifically want to build a perfect charcoal kiln. As long as firewood could be burned into charcoal, it was called a charcoal kiln in her opinion.
The charcoal kiln was not very big, it was a square and about one and a half meters deep.
The weather has not been good recently, and it rains every few days. Jiang Xue was worried that there would be water accumulation in the kang, so she asked Aqing and Xiaohua to find some banana leaves to simply cover it.
Although this simple roof is not waterproof at all, covering it with a layer of banana leaves can at least block some rain.
In this ancient tribe, you have to make do as much as you can and don't set your expectations too high.
The kiln body has been dug, and the next step is to chop wood.
Freshly chopped firewood is too damp to burn directly. It needs to be dried in the sun for a few days.
Fortunately, the place she chose was at the foot of the mountain, so she could just throw the cut trees on the open space at the foot of the mountain to dry in the sun.
After a tiring day, Jiang Xue sat down on the wood that had just been brought down from the mountain. She looked up at the weather and sighed.
It is the plum rain season recently, or in the words of the Snake Tribe, the rainy season.
Burning charcoal during the rainy season...
Jiang Xue cursed herself for being so stupid. Drying firewood in this weather was like carrying straw in the rain—the more you carry, the heavier it gets! The firewood might not be dried properly, and the dampness of the already damp firewood would be even greater.
However, the preparations are almost done, so we can only take it one step at a time.
"Let's stop here for today. You must be exhausted. Let's go back."
When they returned to the tribe, Jiang Xue suddenly felt that something seemed different in the trench.
She took a few more glances and was surprised to see that there were lotus leaves as big as a palm on the trench.
She remembered that when she harvested the lotus roots last year, she didn't know how to preserve them, so she just threw them into the ditch and left them alone. She thought they would have frozen to death after a winter, but now, they are not dead, but have grown green leaves.
"Ah Qing, look, the lotus has grown leaves!"
Ah Qing glanced at them and said, "Yes, I saw their leaves a few days ago. Snow Witch, have you never noticed them?"
Jiang Xue shook her head.
She really didn't notice.
At that time, she only wanted to bring bad luck to the Bluebird Tribe, and was only concerned with the seedlings in the fields, planting corn, potatoes and soybeans, and did not notice that the lotus flowers here would also add some green to the trench.
"I never thought that even with such a thick layer of ice here during the cold season, they still didn't freeze to death."
She remembered it clearly. She was a little worried that the thorn wall was not strong enough, so she ran onto the ice and jumped a few times.
The ice was very solid at that time. She jumped on it several times but there was no sign of cracking.
Moreover, the trench was not originally deep, only about 1.5 meters.
“They have such strong vitality.”
When we entered the tribe, Xiaopang and his friends were wiping the mulberry leaves they had picked, and a few children were happily playing hopscotch.
"Xue Wu, you're back?" Aunt Qingshi saw her coming back and came to greet her. "That guy named Sang Yang didn't do anything to you this morning, did he?"
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows: "Auntie Qingshi, what do you mean by this?"
Aunt Qingshi smiled and said, "I didn't mean anything. I just saw that the clan leader looked unhappy when he left, so I thought maybe you saw you and that guy Sangyang talking by the river and offended him."
Jiang Xue suddenly felt a headache.
I didn't do anything, so why did he look so "bad-faced"?
"I see."
"What do you know? Ah San just came back to give me some stones and told me that the chieftain had a huge tantrum in the mountains!"
Jiang Xue looked at her in surprise: "Mu Feng lost his temper?"
"That's right. Ah San said he was fine at first, but suddenly he lost his temper." Aunt Qingshi shook her head. "So I was wondering, did he see you and Sang Yang by the river this morning?"
Jiang Xue frowned: "There's nothing wrong between Sang Yang and me. I can wash up by the river. They are guests, so we can't stop them from washing up, right?"
Aunt Qingshi reached out and poked her forehead: "Why are you so stupid? Can't you see that the clan leader is sulking? When he went out this morning, he saw you running up the mountain with a hoe. If it were me, I would be angry too!"
Jiang Xue suddenly realized.
So, Mu Feng is jealous?
This can't be possible. Why would he be jealous for no reason?
"I see." Jiang Xue said helplessly, "Where did they find the stones?"
"It's the place you went to yesterday. I don't know exactly where it is."
Jiang Xue nodded: "Okay, thank you for telling me this. I'll go check it out right away."
Just think of it as a stroll, since I haven’t signed in today anyway.
She said silently in her mind: "System, random sign-in."
[Map is being generated. Please go to the pottery kiln to sign in.]
Jiang Xue originally wanted to put down the hoe in her hand, but then she changed her mind and decided to keep it with her. Maybe it could help Mu Feng!
Thinking of this, she picked up her hoe and went out again without even having time to drink a sip of water.
After signing in at the pottery kiln, the system master didn't give her all those weird things this time:
[Successfully sign in for 232 consecutive days and receive 232 achievement points and an additional green pepper seed.]
Green pepper seeds! ?
Jiang Xue was overjoyed.
This is a good thing. Although she is not very fond of peppers, here, every additional vegetable means more hope for them.
