It turned out that Elder Ming still had something, and on the afternoon of the second day after the fire kang was ready, a dark and dull lead cloud appeared in the sky in the southwest corner, and after a night, the snowflakes that were fluttering one after another actually drifted down. The entire mountain village was shrouded in snow.

The men who had gone out hunting also rushed back on the first day of snowfall.

Deng Zhu is a member of the hunting team in the village, saying that it is the hunting team, it is nothing more than him and the ghost Wuxi, and Duan Dali is just three people, the ghost Wuzhi collects medicine in the mountains all the year round, and is familiar with the mountain and forest environment.

I don't know if it's the reason why Tie San didn't go, this hunt was not very successful, I finally ran into a deer, and finally it ran away, and the hare and pine pheasant caught a lot, but it didn't hit the big prey.

Ay...... Seeing that the village was getting closer and closer, and they had already seen the big poplar tree at the entrance of the village, the three of them sighed in unison. It snowed so early this year, and I didn't hit any big prey, so I don't know how to spend this winter.

As the son of an elder, Deng Zhu is more worried about the winter of the whole village this year than others, no matter what, that kind of thing can't happen last winter. Deng Zhu secretly made up his mind to wait until these days, after cutting enough firewood for the winter, he would go out again in the snow in a few days.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Deng Zhu heard the laughter of his daughter-in-law, the ghost clan and the child. The stove outside also had a layer of snow, and it seemed that his family was not cooking, but teasing his son.

Deng Zhu, who was tired and hungry, couldn't help but be a little angry, when was it, and he had this leisure, risking his life to hunt in the mountains and forests, this ghost clan was so ignorant.

When he entered the house, he was a little angry and Deng Zhu did not immediately go to his own Hun's house, but put down his things and went to greet his father as usual.

As soon as he entered the house, Deng Zhu felt a sense of heat, and his father, dressed in single clothes, sat cross-legged on a stone couch connected to an earthen stove on which water was boiling. There was a low table on the stone couch with tea on it, and Aya was reading a book leisurely.

"Coming back?" Elder Deng, who looked like a Maitreya Buddha, looked kind, but in front of his son, his majesty was extremely heavy. Although Deng Zhu didn't understand why it was so warm in his Aya house, and he was still wearing a single coat, he didn't dare to ask more.

"The unfilial son bamboo returns from hunting, ask Aye'an." Deng Zhu made a big bow and said respectfully.

"How's the catch?"

"Only a few hares and pheasants."

"Hmm-" The father on the other side groaned and didn't say anything, but Deng Zhu felt as if he had been whipped.

Hey, it's all to blame for being useless, it's useless to hit the prey.

"Okay, go down, you haven't returned for many days, go and see your wife and children." Elder Deng didn't look up, but looked at his own book.

"Bring some wild things tomorrow and send them to the Lu family." When Deng Zhu exited his Aya room, such a sentence floated inside.

"No." Aya's words are reasonable, Deng Zhu didn't ask the reason, and respectfully agreed.

When Deng Zhu entered his bedroom in a huff, an even bigger heat wave hit. At a glance, Deng Zhu somewhat understood why there was a layer of snow on the stove outside.

The couch in his room was gone, replaced by a stone couch identical to that in Aya's room, and there was also a stove in his house, in which mushroom millet porridge was cooking, and his son and the Hun family were playing on the couch.

"My husband is back. Hurry up on the kang to warm up and warm up. Deng Guishi was surprised when he saw his husband come back.

"This... What is it? Deng Zhu sat on this stone couch called Kang, and a warm air came from below, and Deng Zhu felt that the whole person was warm.

"This is thanks to Zhelangjun, that is, the baby of the Lu family, when you went into the mountains to hunt, you installed this thing called kang for everyone in the village, and now, you will no longer have to worry about heating this winter, and the concubine will also participate." Deng Guishi got up and got off the kang, stirring the porridge in the pot with a wooden spoon, and excitedly showing off his achievements to his husband.

"This ...... There's a fire burning down there? The mushroom porridge exuded a burst of fragrance, Deng Zhu looked at his own kang and asked blankly.

"How can you burn a fire, if you burn a fire, this kang is so hot that you can't sit down for miles, and how much firewood you have to pay, it's just the smoke produced during cooking, this kang is extremely warm, compared to the previous fire for heating, it also saves a lot of firewood." Deng Guishi said as he grabbed a little salt from the salt shaker and put it in the pot.

"You've just come back, hurry up and get on the kang and go to the cold."

"Where did you get such good salt?" Deng Zhu found that what his Hun family had grabbed from the salt shaker turned out to be snow-white refined salt, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"The family is so poor, do you still have spare things to exchange for refined salt?" This is a loser, Deng Zhu can't help but be a little angry.

"What kind of eyes do you stare at, this salt is made of coarse salt blocks from the concubine's body, and the coarse salt is bitter and astringent, and it is harmful to people if you eat it for a long time." Deng Guishi said ostentatiously.

"You know how to make salt?" Deng Zhu's voice couldn't help but raise an octave, and his eyes were about to pop out. As a result, his son was frightened and cried out.

"What are you doing, scary, beware of frightening children. This method of making salt was also taught to me by Zhelangjun, not only the concubine, but all the women in the village. As he spoke, Ghost Deng turned around and hugged his son in his arms, comforting him softly.

"What happened during my hunt?" Deng Zhu felt that the surprise of this life was almost used today.

"Eat first, and then talk after eating." After coming back, while eating, he began to tell his husband about the things that had happened in the village in the past 20 days, including how to make a kang, the extra wheelbarrow at home, and the method of salt making taught by Zhelangjun himself.

“.…… In this way, the concubine and the others finally set up the kang before the snow. Deng Guishi said, his face full of pride.

"Great, great." After listening to the story of his own Hun family, Deng Zhu was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Touching the kang carefully, feeling the temperature on it, it was slightly hot. Deng Zhu finally understood why his Aya let him send some wild things over, this thing is simply so good, it can be said that it saved the lives of the whole village.

The reason why it was difficult in the past winter was because heating was a problem, because it was a thatched house, so they could not light a fire in the house to keep warm, even if they could light a fire to keep warm, not only was the firewood not enough, but the fire in the house was very easy to be poisoned. Coupled with the shortage of food, there will be a human tragedy in which the elderly go into the mountains and young children die.

Now, that immortal disciple, named Zhelangjun, invented the fire kang, although the cost of firewood is nothing more than a little more on weekdays, but within the range of affordability, in exchange for the warmth of a whole winter, and now there is more edible mushrooms, Deng Zhu is sure that from now on, the people in the village will no longer have to worry about the suffering of winter.

It's no wonder that Aye, who was worried about winter days, still had the leisure to read on the kang today. This fire kang is simply a fairy thing.

What a good thing, it's still snowing outside, and I'm sweating a little in the house, and I've taken off two pieces of clothing since I just entered the house, and I'm wearing only one sackcloth, and I still feel hot. It's just a little more firewood than the usual cooking, and even his own Aye, a person of this age, is still wearing single clothes in winter, this kang is really useful.

Deng Zhu, who was happy in his heart, looked at his wife and children, looked at the fire kang, smelled the fragrance of rice porridge, and couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness.

There is a kang in the house, there is food on the stove, and there are smiles on the faces of parents, wives and children, presumably this is the feeling of a good life, looking at the changes in his own house, Deng Zhu's eyes were a little moist.

The same scene was staged in the house of the man who returned from the hunt. With the puffs of green smoke wafting from the chimneys of every house, the small mountain village is the first time that there is a picture of peace and tranquility in winter.

Early the next morning, invariably, the men who went out hunting in the village all stepped into the gate of the Lu family with some game.
