Chapter 837: Heavy Snowfall



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 startled 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.

而且还有一些黄颜色的小花,也还在开着,没有枯萎。

在以往的时候,就算是下雪下的在早,也从来都是在这些东西都凋落、枯萎之后,才开始落下的。

大雪对于原始部落而言,往往所代表着的就是寒冷饥饿与死亡,过早降下的大雪更是如此。

这简直就是灾难一般的存在!

站在这里发了一会儿愣之后,树皮被寒冷的风吹得清醒过来。

外面下了雪,还刮着这样的寒风,他是不准备往外面去小解了。

当下就站在洞口处,卯足了劲,对着呼啸的寒风开始放水。

要说树皮的身体素质还是非常好的,顶着这样的寒风,硬是将之怼到了洞口的外面。

这要是换上一个身体比较虚弱,或者是年纪比较大的人,只怕会怼自己一鞋。

所释放出去的水,不等落地就都会被热情的寒风返还给你,覆水难收不再是一个传说……

狠狠了打了一个哆嗦之后,树皮赶紧将身上的兽皮裹好,而后迅速的将洞穴口用石板给堵上,然后缩着膀子一路小跑的回到睡觉的地方。

过去的时候,他睡觉的地方已经被人给占据了。

对于睡梦之中占据他睡觉地方的人,树皮很有办法,他没有出声将他们喊醒,也没有出手对他们进行拖拽,而是直接顺着那两人之间的缝隙就躺了下去,并且将手往两边人的脸上放。

刚刚的这一遭将他通体冻的冰凉,往这里一趟,那些挨到他的人,身子上顿时就起了一层的鸡皮疙瘩,然后迅速的将他被占据的位置给让了出来。

速度简直不要太快。

因为外面的落雪,树皮躺在这里发愁了好大一阵子。

不过当他意识到自己如今已经不是部落首领,并且在如今的黑石部落还不是垫底的存在,并且因为周围的部落都要进行供奉的缘故,黑石部落的食物并不怎么缺少之后,心里的担心顿时就消失了。

他躺在这里,紧紧身上裹着的兽皮,往火堆那里挤挤,很快就进入了梦乡……

“#%56?!”

第二天一早,移开堵着部落洞穴门口石板,看着外面的皑皑白雪,以及还在往下慢慢飘飞的雪花,有人顿时就大声的呼喊了起来。

这样的声音响起之后,洞穴之内马上就变得热闹起来,众人纷纷涌到洞穴口处,往外观看。

在看到那一夜之间就变得洁白的万物之后,许多人直接就呆住了。

黑石部落的首领神情也一样显得有些呆滞。

这样过了一阵儿之后,他反应过来。

“¥%6!”

黑石部落的首领开始大叫,并且将手指向了洞穴深处,那里面存放着大量的食物。

听到黑石部落首领呼喊,并且又看到了他的手所指的方向之后,黑石部落的人,稍微一愣之后,心里顿时就是一松。

是啊!他们已经不再是之前的那个弱小的部落了,他们部落的洞穴里面,这时候还存储着诸多的粮食,就算是这会儿下雪,他们也不用担心什么。

于是,部落里的氛围很快就变得比较轻松起来。

甚至于还有一些人觉得心里很高兴,因为大雪降下之后,他们就不需到外面获取食物了。

接下来的日子里只需要吃饭睡觉,有精力了再哼个小曲就成了。

至于打树皮的这个活动,现在是进行不了了,这家伙如今已经彻彻底底的成为了自己人,并且在部落里的地位,还不是特别低。

感受着众人的变化,黑石部落的首领变得高兴起来。

手里有粮,心里不慌。

他们总结不出这样精辟简短的话,但是他们部落里的众人,基本上都能体会到这些。

生活在黑石部落周边的部落,比如草部落这些拥有了鱼笼、弓箭这两样东西的,在发现一夜之间便满目洁白之后,反应都和黑石部落差不多。

虽然有些恐惧和担心,但是这种恐惧与担心之中,还有着一些安心。

毕竟她们的部落里,已经存储了为数很多的食物。

但并不是所有的部落的人,都如同他们一样,得到了这两种神器。

拥有这些的,毕竟只是少数人的。

那些没有储蓄够食物的人,在早上移开洞穴洞口处堵着的石板之后,顿时就呆住了,一些人更是直接哭了出来。

因为这对于他们来说,老天给的这个惊喜大礼包,实在是太大了,大到令人接受不了。

“WE#4!”

有部落的首领将眼泪擦干,大声的喊叫着,把洞穴之内所储藏的皮子都拿出来,让部落里的众人包裹在身上。

而后带着拿着简陋的武器和工具,带着部落里的人,朝着外面走去。

踏着积雪,顶着寒风,淋着不断飘落的雪花,一路往前走。

按照以往,这时候顶多只能算是深秋,树上许多的果子都不曾被摘取,他们这时候冒着严寒与积雪出去,还是能够得获得不少的食物的。

当然,需要忍受着寒冷,甚至于还要做好一部分人被冻伤或者是冻死的准备。

只是,不这样做又有什么办法呢?

这个世界上从来没有什么岁月静好,有人替你负重前行的时候,你可以体会到这种静好的岁月,但没有人替你负重的时候,这一切都需要你自己来承担了。

不论在哪个时代,想要好好的活下去,都不太容易。

有不少部落,不少人,仅仅只是为了活下去,就已经拼光了所有了力气……

“吱呀~”

门轴与门楣的磨擦里,有吱呀声响起,紧闭的屋门从里面打开,和昨天相比,身上穿的衣服厚了一层的小豌豆从房间里跑来出来,整个人看起来有些圆滚滚的,很像没事了就坐在那里抱着一根竹子当作甘蔗来啃的熊猫团团。

迈着小短腿如同球一般滚出来的小豌豆后面,跟着更像一个球的小杏儿。

走起路来还不硬实,跟头趔趄的。

只不过小孩儿喜欢跟更大一点的小孩儿玩,所以还是迈动的小短腿,跟在小豌豆的后面努力的走着。

再后面就是韩成这个奶爸。

看了一会儿两个孩子,韩成将目光移向别处。

部落的草垛之上,白花花的一片。

那不是飘落下来的雪花,而是霜花。

怪不得昨夜那样的寒冷,居然一下子就下了这么厚的霜!

看着这些霜花,韩成露出明悟之色。

这一次,温度一下子降下了这么多,也可以说是是一次寒潮了。

幸好到了现在,部落该收获的东西也都已经收获了,除了长出一些小叶子的油菜外,地里已经没有了什么东西,不然的话,那损失可就大了!

而这些油菜,又是能够过冬的作物,冬天的大雪冰封都不害怕,这样的霜冻,对于它们而言,并没有太多损害。

韩成这样庆幸的想着。

不过没过多久,韩成的面色忽然间就有些变了。

招呼了一声白雪妹,让她看着小豌豆他们兄妹,主要是小杏儿之后,韩成便急匆匆的往外面走去。

没有走上多远,巫、兔八哥几个人就从外面进来了,一脸的难过,还有着一些慌张。

韩成一看这架势,就知道十有八九要坏事,自己刚才的担忧应该已经成真了。

“神、神子。白、白菜、萝卜……”

兔八哥结巴着开口,话都有些说不好了。

同时也证实了韩成的猜想。

“走,跟我一块看看去。”

韩成对兔八哥点点头之后,对巫他们几个人说道,然后便一起浩浩****的杀向了部落围墙外面的菜地。

在青雀部落外面,距离打谷场不是太远的地方,有着一大片平整的土地,这片土地差不多得有七八十亩之多。

这些土地,就是青雀部落的菜园子。

一亩园,顶十亩田,说的就是菜园子。

这个一亩顶十亩,说的不仅仅是收入,还有劳动强度。

侍弄菜园,最是花费功夫,浇水、除草、啄虫、施肥……根本就闲不下来,天天都要下地。

当然,这是后世的菜园子,而不是青雀部落菜园子。

青雀部落的菜园子里面,除了葱、蒜这些之外,其余大部分,都是只是初秋的时候,种植上一季尚未培育成功的萝卜、白菜,用作冬天时吃。

还有一些地,会在春天的时候,种植一些灰灰菜。

这当然不是部落里的人懒,而是菜种比较少。

在往年的这个时候,正是白菜、萝卜这两样菜蔬,努力的生长,为最后的结果而使劲的时候,整片菜园看起来都是一片的欣欣向荣。

但是现在,这片菜园子确实一片凄惨景象。

茎上带着一些紫色的萝卜叶子,这时候全都被冻的趴下了,比被霜打了的茄子都严重,看上去如同熟烫了一般。

白菜叶子上带着一些霜花,情况看起来要比萝卜好上一些。

不过和之前相比也是比较凄惨了。

青雀部落的白菜,是由油菜一步步的培育过来的,按说不应该害怕霜冻才对,毕竟油菜可是能够过冬的。

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...
