Chapter 3: Drilling Wood for Fire
Swallowing his saliva, he put on a running posture and whispered, "Are you dead?" ”
The man didn't react, and Lin Chuchu asked again, "Are you a human or a ghost?" The man still didn't react.
"If you're still alive, you move."
Xiao Yan was stiff, but his brain still had some consciousness, and when he heard the human voice, he moved his fingers with all his strength to indicate that he was still alive.
Lin Chuchu saw that his fingers moved, and hurriedly dragged him to his shack.
"Thanks to the fact that I am a kind little fairy in the twenty-first century, otherwise who will care if you live or die!"
At this time, even if you kill Lin Chuchu, she won't say that she saved people because she ate other people's roast chicken and felt that she was at a loss. dragged the man to the shack with great effort, and it was not cold when he sweated lightly.
"Big brother!" Lin Chuchu kicked the man with a stiff body.
Xiao Yan If he can be conscious at this time, he will definitely burst into a sentence, I will behead you all over the house!
Lin Chuchu looked down at the man on the ground, gnawing on his fingernails and frowning, those who knew her knew that she might have any bad ideas in her heart at this time.
Lin Chuchu looked at the cropped pants and small broken gown on his body, and looked at the padded jacket and cotton pants on the man on the ground.
Although she didn't know any brocade fabric, there was not a patch on his clothes that was still cotton.
After being entangled for a while, Lin Chuchu dragged the man onto the kang again, and explained while untying his clothes, "Big brother, your clothes are all soaked, if you don't take them off, you will definitely catch a cold... Ahh ”
She had already ripped off the man's cotton clothes and pants, and also took off the thick clothes inside, leaving only the middle coat.
She covered the man with the thin quilt that had been around her, then put on the man's thick coat and hung up the padded jacket and pants to dry.
"Whew~~ It's so warm, no wonder I didn't freeze you to death, your clothes are too warm."
Lin Chuchu glanced at the man who was trembling under the thin quilt, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, and when he lowered his head and touched the warm clothes on his body, he immediately slapped himself.
"What a mess you want! Hurry up and go to bed on the kang! ”
The snow outside is still falling, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, the small shack is thatched and ventilated everywhere, the door curtain is blown flickering, and the cold wind blows in from below, even if Lin Chuchu is wearing a cotton jacket now, he still feels cold, not to mention Xiao Yan, who is only covered with a thin quilt on the other side, and his body is shaking like a sieve.
If the wind knew that the sheepskin thick coat he had sewn for the emperor was picked up by Lin Chuchu, he might be more distressed.
……
On the treetops of the moon, the drizzle stopped, but the wind and snow were still there, and the night was even colder in the hut without the sun, even Lin Chuchu, who was wearing thick clothes and a cotton jacket, began to tremble.
It was also night when I crossed over yesterday, but at that time, the body of the original owner Lin Chusan was stiff, and her soul didn't feel cold at all.
Tonight, she finally knew the cause of Lin Chusan's death, it was so cold, Lin Chusan's thin clothes and that thin quilt were frozen to death.
Thinking of this, she suddenly sat up, and without a candle, she could only lift the curtain of the door and look at the man on the kang by the moonlight.
She groped and squatted beside the man, and was shocked when she saw that he was not shaking, "Big brother, big brother." He reached out and pushed, but the man didn't react.
Lin Chuchu secretly scolded himself, why was he so bad, he ate other people's things and stripped other people's clothes, and finally made his family freeze to death.
The little hand trembled and reached under the man's nose, and she was immediately happy when she felt the breath, "Not dead yet." ”
She pulled the cotton jacket and cotton pants all over him, but the man's body was still very cold, and he was a little cold, Lin Chuchu was a little anxious, and the thick clothes on his body were too warm for her to take off.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a pile of firewood and branches on the side of the curtain of the shack door, looking at the man who didn't move, "Hey, I can't watch you die after eating your roast chicken." ”
She was still able to drill wood to make fires at first, and when she was a freshman, she camped with her boyfriend, and she just thought it was fun.
Lin Chuchu went down and opened the curtain of the door to let the moonlight in, and then found a piece of the thickest wood, and was pulling to find a wooden stick with a little point, which was neither thick nor thin.
"Huh? Axe? ”
Lin Chuchu was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an axe hidden at the bottom of the firewood, biting his fingers and thinking about it, the original owner's memory seemed to be Luo Dashu in the village who went up the mountain to cut firewood, and when he saw that she was pitiful, he left her a bundle of firewood, and also left an axe, presumably because he was afraid that the firewood he left would be burned so that Lin Chusan could cut it himself.
With an axe, Lin Chuchu found a wooden stick that was suitable, and then cut the front, the axe was not too sharp and not too handy, but it was better than nothing.
It took a long time to make the stick, and then cut a bowl-sized hole in the thick wood, grabbed a handful of dried leaves, and put it on.
Everything was ready, Lin Chuchu shook his arms and began the huge project of drilling wood for fire.
After a cup of tea, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Lin Chuchu's head, but the wood below did not react.
After another quarter of an hour, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Lin Chuchu's back, and the wood did not react.
In two quarters of an hour, Lin Chuchu's arms were almost numb, and there was still no reaction in the wood.
"you, I'm not going to believe it!"
The more difficult it is, the more motivated Lin Chuchu becomes, and she has been a child who refuses to admit defeat.
Three quarters of an hour, half an hour, and another quarter of an hour passed, just when Lin Chuchu's beads of sweat fell to the ground and fell into eight petals, smoke finally came out of the wood.
Lin Chuchu's eyes lit up, and the speed in his hands increased, and if he stopped at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Finally, when she had been drilling for almost an hour, the dry leaves finally burned, Lin Chuchu threw the wooden stick in his hand, panted and grabbed a handful of dry leaves to continue the fire, and then put some thin branches on it.
Seeing that there was a black hole under the earthen kang, Lin Chuchu didn't think much about it, put the already burning branches into the black hole, added a handful of leaves, added a few handfuls of branches, and finally put a few coarse firewood.
Lin Chuchu's mother is from the north, and her grandmother's family lives in the countryside, so she likes to go to her grandmother's house in the northeast to play in the snow during the winter vacation, and she also likes to sleep on her grandmother's hot kang.
She still remembers the first time she went to the Northeast, just in time for the heavy snowfall, and the thick snow was as deep as it was outside, and she and her mother ran to her grandmother's house shivering in their tweed coats.
Grandma hugged herself, and then pushed herself to the kang head, which was the first time Lin Chuchu knew about such a thing as a hot kang head. Like a curious baby, she asked Grandma what this thing was and how it could get hot.
