After covering it, Han Cheng came to the front wall.
There was a small kang here, and Little Pea was sleeping on it alone.
At this time, the little pea was also frozen and curled up into a ball.
Han Cheng walked over with his shoes half on, bent down and picked up his sleeping son, came to the big kang where they slept, lifted the animal-skin mattress a little, put Little Pea down next to Little Xing'er, and covered the animal-skin mattress again, tucking in all the corners to prevent wind from escaping.
This weather is so strange, why did it suddenly become so cold?
After doing all this, Han Cheng, who was shrunken due to the cold, muttered to himself, and directly pulled out his tiger-skin cloak from a simple cabinet in the room and wrapped it around himself.
I originally wanted to go out and find some firewood to light 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 live.
The relationship between Wu and Yuan, a pair of twilight lovers, is really wonderful. Han Cheng came in quietly with an oil lamp and found that the two of them were hugging each other when they slept.
The round head rested on one of the witch's arms.
Han Cheng felt very comfortable after receiving this unexpected mouthful of stale dog food.
It seems that I have to remind Wu next time not to let them sleep in this position anymore.
This is not because Han Cheng was fed dog food, but because if one often sleeps in this position, one person is prone to shoulder periarthritis and the other is prone to cervical spondylosis, especially when the weather is cold.
This is much more realistic than the story about the poisonous chicken soup where a girl makes chicken soup for a boy, but it is not cooked through. Then when the girl feels a little guilty, the boy says affectionately that he likes to eat anything cooked by you. Then the two of them drink the soup sweetly, taking turns to take a bite. The next day, they both die of chicken plague.
The examples of frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis tell us that when showing affection, we must master the correct method.
Seeing that the two of them were sleeping soundly, Han Cheng did not wake them up, but slowly went out with the oil lamp, opened the door and closed it again. As soon as he came outside, a gust of cold air hit him in the face.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Everyone, wake up! Everyone, wake up! Don't sleep any more! Get up, someone, bring firewood into the house and light up the kang!"
Holding a lamp and wearing a tiger-skin cloak, Han Cheng walked to the houses where everyone lived, knocked on the doors one by one, provided free wake-up service, and urged everyone to get up and light the kang.
There has been no frost this year. According to past practice, it will take some time for the weather to become extremely cold, so the tribe has not started to heat the kangs yet.
But at this time the weather suddenly turned cold, and we had to quickly heat up the kang.
This time was different from later generations. Although the tribes at this time had some treatment methods, these treatment methods were only superficial and many diseases could not be cured. After all, Han Cheng was not a medical professional in his later generations.
At this time, catching a cold may be fatal, especially for children and the elderly with poor immunity.
It is precisely because of this situation that when Han Cheng notices that the temperature drops suddenly at night, he will come out and knock on the door as soon as possible, asking those who are sleeping to get up quickly and heat the kang.
If left unchecked, someone might catch a cold early in the morning.
As Han Cheng knocked on the door and shouted, the sleeping people were awakened by Han Cheng.
Some people were in a daze and subconsciously moved their hands to the side when they heard the shouting.
Regular training ensures that they do not lose their necessary vigilance.
Then he reacted, recognized the voice outside, and understood the meaning of the words.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the night had suddenly become so cold.
As Han Cheng knocked on the door and shouted, the sleeping Qingque tribe was awakened and became more lively after a while.
"Go over there and wake up the people living in the other rooms, have them get up, and light up the kangs in their rooms. Also have someone go over to the slave yard and wake them up, and light up their kangs as well."
Han Cheng gave instructions to his senior brother and some other people who came out of the room.
Then he went to the place where firewood was stored with more people to collect firewood.
After waking up some people and assigning them tasks, Han Cheng no longer paid attention to them. Instead, he carried some firewood and returned to the house where he lived.
Put some of the firewood in the room where they live, and put the other part in the room where the witch lives.
When Han Cheng carried the firewood to the witch's room, the witch was awakened by the noise outside and was blowing hard on the fire starter.
"Son of God, what's wrong?"
Seeing Han Cheng coming in with firewood and a lamp, Wu asked hurriedly.
"It's okay. It just got cold suddenly. I called everyone to heat up the kang."
Han Cheng said as he put the firewood on the ground.
Seeing Wu putting on his clothes and getting up, Han Cheng hurriedly stopped him: "Don't get up. It's very cold. Don't catch a cold. I've already called everyone and explained everything. There's nothing to worry about."
"I'll light the fire."
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Wu felt relieved, but he still wanted to get up.
"No, I'll just burn it for you. I'm already up anyway."
Han Cheng stopped him again.
"Son of God, go and light up the kang where you sleep. I'll take care of this."
Yuan also woke up at this time. Seeing this, he spoke up, then stood up and helped Wu lie back down in bed.
Seeing this, the witch no longer insisted. Yuan picked up the animal skin clothes beside him and put them on over the linen clothes he was wearing. He then began to collect firewood and put it on the kang.
Seeing this, Han Cheng took the oil lamp and returned to the room where he lived.
Here we have to admire how sleepy Bai Xue is. Even though there was such a big commotion, the little child bride was unaware of it and was still sleeping soundly.
The two little ones followed their mother and also slept soundly. After they fell asleep at night, their mother took them away and sold them without them knowing.
Han Cheng shook his head and smiled, put the oil lamp on the table, then opened the sealed door of the kang and put the firewood he had brought back into it.
After putting in a certain amount of dry firewood, he picked up some firewood for kindling, lit it next to the lamp, and then put it into 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 reed firewood refers to things such as hay, straw, and dry tree leaves.
Han Cheng stood here, watching the fire burning under the kang. After a while, he reached out and touched the kang. When he felt that the temperature was about right, he put some firewood into it and sealed the opening of the kang, leaving only a small hole so that the firewood could burn slowly.
After finishing all these, Han Chengcai took off his tiger-skin coat and clothes, lay down on the kang, covered himself with a mattress, and blew out the lights.
Lying on the warm kang, I suddenly no longer felt cold and felt very comfortable all over.
Han Cheng lay here, thinking about the suddenly cold weather for a while, and soon fell asleep.
The noise outside gradually disappeared, and finally calm was restored. Only a faint smoke was coming out of the chimneys behind the rows of houses, and the air was filled with the smell of burning firewood.
The Qingque tribe has a kang for heating, so people can sleep peacefully in the sudden cold temperature, but this is not the case in other tribes.
For example, the Blackrock Tribe far in the north.
The flickering firelight made the shadows in the cave dance constantly. The dry bark was placed under the body, and the animal skin covering the body was wrapped tightly.
Even this didn't help, he still felt cold, so he leaned towards the fire and huddled closely with the other people sleeping there.
Most of the others also felt the cold, and their reactions were similar to those of the tree bark. They all crowded towards each other and the fire to get warmer.
Although it was cold, he couldn't resist the sleepiness. But what was uncomfortable was that in that half-sleep state, Tree Bark felt the urge to urinate.
But he didn't get up. On the one hand, it was because he was still half asleep, and on the other hand, it was too cold outside and he didn't want to go out.
Not to mention anything else, just listening to the faint sound of the wind whistling makes Shuba not want to go outside.
However, such thoughts could not overcome the increasingly strong urge to urinate. After holding on for a while, Tree Bark finally gave in, climbed up from the hay, wrapped himself tightly in the animal skin, and headed towards the cave exit.
When the smaller stone slab blocking the entrance of the cave was lifted, a howling cold wind instantly rushed in.
Along with the cold wind, some other things came in, hitting my face, feeling cool and painful.
It's snowing?!
Shupi was started and quickly moved the stone slab to the side, squinting his eyes to look outside.
I saw a faint white light reflected on the originally dark ground, which obviously meant it was snowing.
The bark, which was originally shivering from the cold, shivered even more violently after confirming that it was really snowing.
As a man of this era, he doesn't like snow at all.
The Black Stone Tribe does not have a calendar, so their understanding of the days of each year is naturally not as precise as that of the Green Bird Tribe.
But the general impression is still there. We can tell from the tree bark that the snow fell much earlier this year than in previous years.
Because at this time, the leaves on the trees have not completely fallen, and many are still green.
There are also some small yellow flowers that are still blooming and have not withered.
In the past, even if it snowed early, it would always start falling after these things had fallen and withered.
For primitive tribes, heavy snow often means cold, hunger and death, especially when it falls too early.
This is simply a disaster!
After standing here in a daze for a while, the bark was awakened by the cold wind.
It was snowing outside and the wind was so cold that he didn't plan to go outside to pee.
He immediately stood at the entrance of the cave, gathered all his strength, and started to release water towards the howling cold wind.
The physical condition of the tree bark is still very good. It managed to make it out of the cave despite such a cold wind.
If this happened to someone who was physically weak or older, I'm afraid he would hit me with the shoe.
The water you release will be returned to you by the warm cold wind before it even hits the ground. It is no longer a legend that spilled water cannot be recovered...
After shivering violently, Shupi quickly wrapped the animal skin on his body, then quickly blocked the entrance of the cave with stone slabs, and then trotted back to his sleeping place with his arms tucked in.
In the past, the place where he slept had already been occupied by someone else.
Shupi had a way to deal with the people who occupied his sleeping place in their dreams. He did not wake them up or try to drag them away. Instead, he simply lay down in the gap between the two people and put his hands on the faces of the people on both sides.
The previous experience had frozen him all over. When he came here, those who came close to him suddenly got goose bumps on their bodies, and then quickly gave up the position he was occupying.
The speed is simply too fast.
Because of the falling snow outside, the bark lay here worried for a long time.
However, when he realized that he was no longer the leader of the tribe, and that the Blackrock Tribe was not at the bottom of the group, and that the Blackrock Tribe did not lack food because the surrounding tribes had to offer sacrifices, his worries immediately disappeared.
He lay there, wrapped tightly in the animal skin, huddled close to the fire, and soon fell asleep...
"#%56?!"
The next morning, after removing the stone slab blocking the entrance of the tribal cave and looking at the white snow outside and the snowflakes that were still slowly floating down, someone suddenly started shouting loudly.
After such a sound was heard, the cave immediately became lively, and people rushed to the cave entrance and looked outside.
After seeing everything turn white overnight, many people were stunned.
The leader of the Blackrock Tribe also looked a little dazed.
After a while, he finally reacted.
"￥%6!"
The leader of the Blackrock Tribe began to shout and pointed his finger deep into the cave, where a large amount of food was stored.
After hearing the Black Rock Tribe leader's shout and seeing the direction his hand was pointing, the people of the Black Rock Tribe were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly felt relieved.
Yes! They are no longer the weak tribe they were before. There is still a lot of food stored in the caves of their tribe. Even if it snows now, they don’t have to worry about anything.
As a result, the atmosphere in the tribe soon became more relaxed.
Some people even felt very happy because after the heavy snow, they no longer had to go outside to get food.
In the days that follow, all you have to do is eat and sleep, and hum a little tune when you have the energy.
As for the activity of beating the tree bark, it cannot be carried out now. This guy has now completely become one of us, and his status in the tribe is not particularly low.
Feeling the changes in the crowd, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe became happy.
If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.
They couldn't sum it up in such a concise and insightful way, but everyone in their tribe could basically understand it.
The tribes living around the Blackrock Tribe, such as the Grass Tribe, which had fish cages and bows and arrows, had similar reactions to the Blackrock Tribe after discovering that the world had turned white overnight.
Although there is some fear and worry, there is also some peace of mind amidst this fear and worry.
After all, their tribe had stored a lot of food.
But not all people in the tribe obtained these two artifacts like them.
After all, only a few people possess these.
Those who did not store enough food were stunned after removing the stone slabs blocking the cave entrance in the morning, and some people even burst into tears.
Because for them, this surprise gift package given by God is really too big, so big that it is unacceptable.
"WE#4!"
The leader of a tribe wiped away his tears, shouted loudly, took out all the skins stored in the cave, and asked everyone in the tribe to wrap themselves in them.
Then he took the simple weapons and tools and the people of the tribe and walked outside.
Walking on the snow, braving the cold wind, and being showered by the falling snowflakes, we kept moving forward.
In the past, this was only late autumn at best, and many of the fruits on the trees had not been picked. If they went out at this time braving the severe cold and snow, they could still get a lot of food.
Of course, they need to endure the cold and even be prepared for some people to be frostbitten or frozen to death.
But what else can we do if we don’t do this?
There has never been any peaceful time in this world. When someone carries the burden for you, you can experience such peaceful time. But when no one carries the burden for you, you need to bear all of this by yourself.
No matter what era you are in, it is not easy to live a good life.
Many tribes and people have already used up all their strength just to survive...
"Squeak~"
There was a creaking sound from the friction between the door hinge and the door lintel, and the tightly closed door opened from the inside. Little Pea, who was wearing thicker clothes than yesterday, ran out of the room. He looked a little chubby, very much like the panda Tuan Tuan who would sit there and chew on a bamboo as if it were sugarcane when he had nothing to do.
Behind Little Pea, who rolled out like a ball with her short legs, followed Little Xing'er, who looked even more like a ball.
He was not walking firmly and was staggering.
It’s just that the child likes to play with older children, so he still moves his short legs and tries hard to walk behind Little Pea.
Next up is Han Cheng, the dad.
After looking at the two children for a while, Han Cheng shifted his gaze elsewhere.
There was a patch of white on the haystacks of the tribe.
Those were not falling snowflakes, but frost flowers.
No wonder it was so cold last night and there was such a thick frost 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 that it can be said to be a cold wave.
Fortunately, the tribe has already harvested what it should have harvested, and there is nothing left in the fields except for some small-leafed rapeseed. Otherwise, the loss would have been huge!
And these rapeseed crops can survive the winter and are not afraid of heavy snow and ice in winter. Such frost does not cause much damage to them.
Han Cheng thought thankfully.
But not long after, Han Cheng's expression suddenly changed.
After greeting Sister Bai Xue and asking her to look after Little Wandou and his siblings, especially Xiao Xing'er, Han Cheng hurried out.
They had not walked far when Wu, Bugs Bunny and a few others came in from outside, looking sad and a little panicked.
When Han Cheng saw this situation, he knew that something bad was probably going to happen, and his previous worries must have come true.
"God, Son of God. Cabbage, radish..."
Bugs Bunny stuttered and had trouble speaking.
At the same time, it also confirmed Han Cheng's guess.
"Come on, let's go and have a look together."
After Han Cheng nodded to Bugs Bunny, he spoke to Wu and the others, and then they all rushed towards the vegetable field outside the tribal 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 in size.
These lands are the vegetable gardens of the Qingque tribe.
One acre of garden is equivalent to ten acres of fields, and this is what I mean by a vegetable garden.
This saying of one acre is equivalent to ten acres, which refers not only to the income but also to the labor intensity.
Tending the vegetable garden takes the most time, including watering, weeding, pest control, fertilizing... There is no time to rest, and you have to be in the field 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, apart from onions and garlic, most of the rest are radishes and cabbages that have not been successfully cultivated in the previous season and are planted in early autumn to be eaten in the winter.
In some places, some gray vegetables are planted in the spring.
This is certainly not because the people in the tribe are lazy, but because there are fewer varieties of vegetables.
At this time of year in previous years, cabbage and radish were growing hard and working hard for the final result, and the entire vegetable garden looked thriving.
But now, the vegetable garden is indeed a miserable scene.
There were some purple radish leaves on the stems, all of which were frozen and fell down at this time. Their condition was worse than that of eggplants hit by frost, and they looked as if they were cooked and scalded.
There are some frost on the cabbage leaves, and the condition looks better than that of the radish.
But it is quite miserable compared with before.
The cabbage of the Qingque tribe was cultivated step by step from rapeseed. In theory, it should not be afraid of frost, after all, rapeseed can survive the winter.
But one thing don't forget, that is the planting time of cabbage and rapeseed.
The cabbages of the Qingque tribe are planted in early autumn. By this time, the whole cabbage has grown and is ready to be wrapped and cut into the heart. If it encounters frost at this time and the weather continues to be cold, the cabbage will basically stop growing.
People grow cabbage to eat it as a vegetable. If it stops growing at this time, the yield will basically be reduced by half, or even more!
Rapeseed is different. Rapeseed is mainly for rapeseed. It stops growing or grows very slowly in winter, but it does not affect its growth after the spring...
