Chapter 416: Mirror and Thorn Vegetables
Due to the lack of tools, such as the lack of suitable carts and wheelbarrows, it took a month and a half to get the aqueducts and dikes in order, relying on baskets and baskets to transport soil, build water conservancy, and strengthen the embankments. Even the construction of that pier has reached 80 percent, and it will be repaired in more than half a month.
Now Jing is very interested in this pier, and spends half a day here every day. One is to provide timber to the docks, and the other is that there are two boats next to it, and there is a dock not far away, in which a large ship is being built. He has to return to the dock at any time to make adjustments according to the situation of the existing ship in the process of use, which can be regarded as a process of learning and exploration.
Ding Qi was very idle during this time, except for patrolling inside and outside the tribe every day, the rest of the time was to accompany the deer to tell the past of the "big tribe" in his memory. However, he didn't dare to talk too much, but he only picked up some of the things that happened in the countryside when he was a child, focusing on the stories of agricultural production and tribal foreign wars.
This attracted the interest of the deer, and he would pester Ding Qi every day to talk about it, and even talk about the excitement, and the two of them would linger. Eating the marrow knows the taste, but the number of times is too much, the wear and tear of the set is a little serious, and the lard that plays a maintenance role is not enough.
Every time Ding Qi finished speaking, the deer would run to the Dragon Hall alone, and with the help of Xue, he would sort out the wording, and then record it in a special book. At the beginning, it is all "Aragami says or Aragami says", and the content is all about Ding Qi telling her about the "big tribe". These contents have long exceeded the imagination of the deer, and this makes her yearn for this big tribe even more, the magical tribe, which can no longer be described in words.
Especially now that she has this item called "mirror" in her hand, she can't put it down. Looking at the beautiful face inside, a touch of joy came to my heart.
The blue eyebrows are thick and slender, like a crescent moon resting on the top of the eyes; It is like two light feathers, with the provocation of the eyebrows, smart and light. The eyes are black and white, round and large like pearls, and under the dense long eyelashes, they seem to be able to speak, and happiness, affection or sorrow are printed in them. The black eyes are rolling around, matching the expression of the face, and the smile that is shown with his movements, even the person who looks in the mirror is stupid.
This mirror is a small mirror prepared by Ding Qi himself for survival, which can send light signals to distant targets on sunny days. But here and now, Ding Qi no longer needs it, so on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, under the impetus of affection, he took out this round mirror and gave it to the deer as a token of love.
It can be regarded as a guarantee given by Ding Qi to the deer, but when the deer saw himself in the mirror, he was so frightened that he almost threw the mirror.
I never knew what I looked like, but at most I had seen my face through the reflection of the water, and when I saw the person in the mirror clearly, I felt shock and fear in my heart.
Needless to say, this is definitely an item that Aragami brought from his former "big tribe". The deer, who has changed his view of the "big tribe" and is more and more familiar with the things in the tribe, still can't hide the shock in his heart when he sees the mirror, and he doesn't have the calm when he heard all kinds of information about the "big tribe" before, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Qi with a plop, and panic arose.
"Brother Ding, don't leave me!"
Although Aragami now regards himself as the moon in his mind, which is the only one in his eyes, he also has some little ninety-nine in his heart. But the deer knows that Aragami is Aragami and has a majesty that he can't shake. And the appearance of the mirror made her tremble in her heart, panic and even uneasy, she knew that Aragami was not something she could have alone.
in her
Feeling, this is the way of God, God is ruthless, which is mentioned in the lineage of tribal witches. Could it be that his brother Ding is going to leave him?
"Haha! Silly girl! How could I leave you? ”
Ding Qi quickly helped the deer up, hugged his hands in his arms, and tried to calm the girl's heart.
"You're my little lover! How could I leave you alone, you can rest assured. ”
Stretched out his hand, took the mirror that he had almost thrown out just now, and handed it to the deer with a look of shame on his face.
She understands the meaning of the lover, but Brother Ding has explained it in detail. That's why she's even more shy and sweet.
"I scared you just now. It's called a mirror, something that can see itself very clearly, and it's also taken from my previous tribe. ”
Seeing that the deer looked better, Ding Qi grabbed the other party's hand and continued:
"This mirror, I gave it to you as a New Year's gift, can be regarded as a token of love between you and me, and it belongs to the secret between the two of us."
The deer looked at Ding Qi in surprise and gave him a fragrant kiss.
And now, thinking of the deer from before, the smile and shame are once again presented in the mirror.
Not to mention the spring deer, Ding Qi discovered something that he neglected.
This is not a big problem, and people born after the 80s will basically experience it, that is, hand molting caused by vitamin deficiency.
Clenching his hands and feeling a slight tingling sensation coming from his palms, Ding Qi smiled a little bitterly. A trace element deficiency that primitive people are accustomed to, the molting of the hands that they are familiar with, has not attracted their attention, which I don't know whether to say that they are careless or have some big nerves, and they have not paid attention to this matter.
Today, in the process of reporting to himself, he found that Ben was tearing some skin on his open hand while talking. At first, I focused on reporting, but then I focused on the riddle.
That's right, it's!
Due to the discomfort of molting, the force of Ben tearing was a little too great, causing the skin to be torn apart in several places, and the bleeding did not stop, which attracted Ding Qi's attention.
"Ben, what are you doing? Report to work! ”
Ben shrank his head and sneered:
"Master, my hands are molting, it's very uncomfortable, and I always want to tear them off."
Ben Yi said this, which finally attracted Ding Qi's attention and put his negligent things in front of Ding Qi.
"Ben, isn't it normal to molt? How did you deal with it before? ”
"Master, every winter and spring, everyone's hands will molt, I don't know what's going on, and it's very uncomfortable. So everybody will pull these skins off when they're fine, and it will feel better. ”
"Oh, well, don't worry. This is normal, especially since we are now eating too little greens, which leads to the decrease in vitamin levels in the human body that I talked to you about. ”
In daily life, Ding Qi will always tell everyone some words, vitamins are also the content he once mentioned, Ben they all know, can be supplemented by eating green wild vegetables. But what they don't know is that vitamin deficiencies can cause the palms to molt.
It was Ben who heard the master talk about the reason for molting, and immediately knew that the master must have a way to treat the molting of the palm.
Seeing that Ben wanted to speak and stopped, Ding Qi smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, let's go, follow me to the vegetable patch."
After saying that, he walked forward first. It's just that in the process of walking, Ding Qi will also rub his palms from time to time. The slight tingling reminded Ding Qi that he was also deficient in vitamins
Finish. He said in his heart that his palms had also begun to molt, and he didn't even care at all, had he become a primitive now? Don't care about the changes in your body anymore?
According to the calendar, the current date is around March, and most of the snow has melted, with only a small amount of snow remaining in the mountains and in the shade.
In the vegetable field in the east of the city, a canal that had just been excavated and filled with clear water ran from east to west, and on the south bank of the canal stood ten tall triangular supports, on which a crossbar was suspended. A rope is tied to one end of the crossbar, and a carved stone is tied to the bottom of the other end.
It was an irrigation water lifting tool made by Ding Qi according to the existing conditions, which was borrowed from the simple water lifting tool in the village in the past, and was also called the orange tree, which was a relatively primitive water drawing tool. If there are large trees next to the newly dug canal, you no longer need those triangular brackets, you can just hang them on the trees. The boom is a tool that uses the principle of lever to draw water, and a bucket of water can be easily sent to the shore when it falls together, which reduces the labor intensity of people a lot.
At present, the vegetable field does not need to be watered and irrigated, so the bucket for drawing water has not been brought over. If it was time to water, the ten booms were moving at the same time, and the scene must have been very exciting.
In addition, on the edge of the South Lake, a waterwheel has been erected, which is currently in the experimental stage and is being developed by the carpenter group under Jingxia.
The vegetable field does not need to be irrigated for the time being, but some wild grasses have grown in the field, such as the more common thistle, which is also known as spiny cabbage. Because the leaves of the leaf have long needles at the top of the teeth and the tips of the lobes, it is easy to prick the hands when touched, and people will not easily touch it.
Seeing this wild vegetable, Ding Qi showed a knowing smile, and naturally remembered the use of spiny vegetables to treat palm molting when he was a child. Pulling a thorn from the ground and putting it in his hand, he pressed it with the palm of his other hand, and immediately felt a slight tingling sensation, but the stinging sensation disappeared immediately with the force of the palm.
After twisting the palms together vigorously and rubbing them four or five times, the thorny cabbage, which was a little daunting just now, had turned into a green leaf mud between Ding Qi's palms, covering the entire palm.
"See, use this to treat palm molting, come, try!"
Tinch showed it to Ben.
Ben was a little puzzled, and didn't know why this kind of thorny cabbage covered with thorns could treat molting. But he has a blind trust in Tinch, and as long as it is what the master says, he completely believes it. Therefore, without hesitation, he plucked a thorn from the ground, shook off the dirt on it, and put it in the palm of his hand and began to rub it like Ding Qi.
didn't frown, and his already rough hands didn't care about the thorns on the thorns at all. Soon, Ben's hands were also green and covered with the juice from the leaves.
"After three to five days of rubbing the juice of this spiny cabbage, the symptoms of molting will be reduced or even cured. I can recommend it to everyone in these two days. ”
In fact, after growing up, Ding Qi thought about this, is it because the juice of spiny cabbage supplements vitamins to the palms, or because the green leafy vegetables begin to increase in spring, and the human body obtains more vitamins and solves the symptoms of palm molting?
Tinch doesn't know, but that doesn't stop him from improving everyone's lives.
"In addition, mobilize everyone, every time you come out to work, you will collect some spiny vegetables and other wild vegetables, and after cleaning, you can blanch or boil water to drink, which can supplement nutrition for everyone."
Ben led the way, and soon the notice of eating wild vegetables spread throughout the tribe.
