Su Nian and Chu Beichen accidentally received guidance from Shi Kun and suddenly understood the trick of manipulating the golden sphere.
This made it possible for Su Nian and Chu Beichen to leave the cedar forest and return to the modern world.
The couple was encouraged and no longer found their future life boring.
However, after living in the cedar forest for a long time, Su Nian encountered hygiene problems.
First of all, this place has no laundry detergent or soap.
You can go for a day, two days, or even ten days or half a month without washing clothes, but what about a longer period of time?
Even a beautiful woman like Su Nian, who is clean and tidy, would feel a headache when she saw the stains on her cuffs.
Because they ate meat every day, Su Nian felt that the air in the house was probably filled with the smell of oil, so their clothes got dirty very quickly.
Seeing his wife worrying about such a trivial matter, Chu Beichen couldn't help but shake his head, "Let's make some soap!"
Chu Beichen had never made soap himself, but he knew the principles of soap making.
Soap is actually made by mixing oil and lye.
The most challenging part is the ratio of oil and lye, as well as the mixing time. If the ratio is not appropriate or the time is not well controlled, the processed soap will be difficult to form.
There is no shortage of oil at home. The prey they eat every day has large chunks of pure fat on them. For the sake of health, Su Nian usually removes these things when cooking.
As for soda ash, there was none, but the couple soon discovered a plant similar to soapberry.
After refining and processing, the two people obtained alkali solution with a certain concentration.
The blizzard had occupied the days and nights, and the couple had nothing to do. In the spirit of experimentation, they soon made a finished soap after the third failure.
Su Nian was very happy. After getting the soap, he immediately washed all the clothes of the two people and the animal skins they commonly used.
Considering that there might be many people who like soap, Chu Beichen specially invited the bearded village chief to watch while he was making it.
As for the speed of technology dissemination, it should have been very fast, because the couple soon found that the villagers were much cleaner. Everyone tasted the benefits of hygiene and washed their hair and bodies with soap.
Some smart people tried to sell soap at the market, but people from other villages did not understand the benefits of soap and thought it was something edible, so the soap did not sell well and it even caused trouble for the soap sellers.
There is no way to hunt now. After the great migration in early winter, all the animals have run to places suitable for wintering.
The only people in the cedar forest are hibernating bears and squirrels.
Compared with humans, they are the masters of the cedar forest. Chu Beichen doesn't dare to provoke a hibernating bear. He is not so hungry that he will eat anything.
Whenever the weather is fine, Chu Beichen will take all the animals at home out for a walk.
This is a strange team.
Chu Beichen was driving the sled in front, the dogs were running wildly around the sled, and the five ponies were following behind very reservedly, taking dancing steps.
The two calves had grown big physically, but their brains seemed not to have grown accordingly. They thought they were still calves, so they followed the team timidly and very slowly.
Chu Beichen would try to run as far as possible in order to keep the animals strong.
His action was initially ridiculed by other residents of Huodong Village.
The weather is very cold in winter, and animals have to consume more grass than usual to resist the cold.
Chu Beichen actually let the animals roam around everywhere. There was no doubt that his feed would be consumed faster.
This is indeed the case. The hay and plants that Chu Beichen stored were consumed very quickly.
But his animals are also very strong.
Especially the two calves he brought home. After several months of raising, they have grown into two muscular and strong bulls, one of which has a sharp horn on its head.
As the days passed, Su Nian had a feeling that the days were getting longer.
In the middle of the night, Su Nian suddenly sat up from the mat because she heard a loud rumbling sound she had never heard before coming from outside.
"Beichen, listen quickly, what's that sound?" Su Nian was very surprised. She didn't understand what broke the silence of the cedar forest.
"It should be the sound coming from the other side of the river," Chu Beichen jumped off the mat and opened the door. The rumbling sound outside became louder and was about to rush into the room. Su Nian felt a little scared. This sound was the sound of nature, full of power.
It was dark outside and nothing could be seen. Chu Beichen suddenly took two steps forward. He felt it for a moment, then turned around and said to Su Nian in surprise, "Su Nian, it's raining. Spring is coming!"
It was a cold rain, or to be more precise, it was an ice rain.
Su Nian stood beside Chu Beichen wearing animal skins, and the rain splashed on her head and body.
In addition to the rain, she also heard the sound of splashing.
"Beichen, has the glacier melted? The water is flowing into the village!" Su Nian looked towards the yard in panic. She was afraid that the river water would rush into the yard and drown their food and livestock. What should she do?
"Don't worry, the people of Huodong Village have lived here for generations. They will definitely build their wooden houses on high ground. Even if the river water surges out, it will not pose a threat to us," Chu Beichen smiled and patted Su Nian's shoulder, pulling her back to the room.
Black Panther and his two children were allowed to sleep by the fireplace. This special treatment gave them the supreme status among the dogs.
At this moment, the black panther's two ears stood up and it was staring outside intently, as if it also realized that the weather had changed.
The two cubs of the Black Panther were born in early winter. They had never seen spring, and now they were running around in front of the fireplace curiously. They looked back frequently and told the Black Panther that they wanted to go out and take a look.
The black panther made a warning sound from its throat to stop the puppies from their reckless behavior.
At this moment, outside the cabin, where Su Nian and Chu Beichen could not see, the path was completely invisible.
The surging river water flowed on the ground, forming a whirlpool.
The low trees at the entrance of the village have been swallowed by the flood, with only branches exposed above the water, spinning constantly.
The rapids looked terrifying, and every time the river flowed, the cedar treetops formed some rolling white foam, swirling into the distance.
The cold, dry air suddenly became moist and permeated with water vapor.
When it was almost dawn, it was still pitch black outside. Chu Beichen, wearing a piece of animal skin, rushed into the barn to check the situation inside.
