"Ye Xi, come in! The great cold wave is coming!" the chief shouted at Ye Xi while holding the stone slab.
Ye Xi moved his stiff legs, trying to move himself as fast as possible towards the stone house.
Almost as soon as Ye Xi entered the house, the chief hurriedly put down the stone slab and blocked the door.
Walking into the stone house, Ye Xi hurriedly dug down the ice that had spread to his chest one by one and threw it away.
There was a crackling sound of ice on the ground.
The lower half of his body, which had been covered in ice, was numb and had not yet regained consciousness.
Ye Xi looked up and found that the frost had actually spread into the house.
The flames that were burning on the fire pit were also affected by the frost, and the flames, which were originally thirty centimeters high, suddenly shrank to the size of the tip of a candle, faint and weak, and looked like they might be extinguished at any time.
Putai and the warriors, who stayed in the stone huts, were hurriedly adding hay and firewood to the fire, bending their waists and blowing on the flames, trying to make it more vigorous.
The women and the children, such as Shui Wen and Ling, and the child were shrunk in the animal skin blanket and shivered, only one face was exposed, their noses were red from the cold, and the breath they exhaled turned into bursts of white mist.
Ye Xi also felt a little cold, he took off the thin animal skin cloak, and quickly picked up a brown bear coat and wrapped it around his body. After putting on the bear skin, Ye Xi felt a chill on his scalp, and after putting on the animal skin hat, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It took a lot of effort for them to get the flames in the pit alive again.
Several warriors gathered on the edge of the fire, spreading their palms close to the red and yellow flames to keep warm.
The hoarfrost came so suddenly that they didn't have time to change into thicker clothes, so they were licking firewood for the fire, and their hands were frozen now.
The reckless guy tried his best to bring his hand to the edge of the flames, and his hands were almost licked by the tongue of fire.
He trembled and said, "This year's big cold wave came early, and I froze to death." ”
The dolphin's teeth were chattering: "yes, yes, the fire almost went out." ”
Several people roasted for a while, and after their hands regained consciousness, Yong said to the women and children, "Come here." ”
While a few women and children, shivering from the cold, stiffly moved to the edge of the fire in thick animal skin blankets, they stepped back and gave up their place.
Ye Xi suddenly remembered the star algae, this big cold wave came suddenly, the star algae wouldn't all be frozen to death, right?
This pot of star algae is now the meat of his heart.
Because he knew that I was afraid that after this pot of star algae was consumed, it was unlikely that he would have such a good chance to get the star algae of the White Turtle tribe.
Thinking of this, Ye Xi couldn't stand still, wrapped in a thick animal skin coat, and walked quickly to the fire pond to see his pot of star algae.
The stone basin with the star algae was placed closest to the fire pit.
Ye Xi glanced down and found that the water surface in the stone basin was covered with a thin ice sheet, and the nineteen star algae inside were motionless as if they were frozen.
Two of the astral algae were rapidly dimming in their light.
Ye Xi was stunned, his hand pierced through the thin ice, and quickly fished up the two star algae from the stone basin, one for Tao and the other for Duo: "Eat it quickly!"
Tao is the only child in the stone house, and Duo is the oldest woman, and they are the two people with the weakest constitution in the stone house.
Tao and Duo immediately swallowed the star algae.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Duo successfully swallowed, and Tao, the child, was not fully developed, and his esophagus was still very thin, but he was in a hurry, so he swallowed the whole star algae into his throat without chewing it, and then it was stuck all of a sudden.
Shui Wen picked Tao up and kept patting him on the back to help him swallow.
Pu Tai and a few other adults immediately got up, removed the stone slab blocking the door, and walked outside the house.
As soon as the slate was removed, a biting cold wind blew in, causing the people in the house to shiver.
Shui Wen hurriedly wrapped Tao into his animal skin blanket.
Putai came back quickly, and brought in the large water tank they had placed at the door.
At this moment, the water in the large tank has completely frozen, and a thick layer of white ice has accumulated on the surface.
Seeing that his son was coughing, Pu Tai was anxious, so he took a handful of ice cubes in his hand, came to the side of the fire, and roasted them with flames.
The cold melted, turning into ticking ice water trickling down from the fingers.
The water ripple patted Tao's back: "Come and open your mouth." ”
Tao coughed so much that his face was flushed, and he immediately opened his immature mouth when he heard the words.
Pu Tai's palms were a little apart, and a large puddle of ice water poured into Tao's mouth along the gap in his palms.
The ice water was so excited that Tao shook his whole body, grunted, and swallowed the ice water. I finally swallowed the star algae stuck in my throat.
Tao stopped coughing, raised his little face, immediately healed the scar and forgot the pain, rubbed his little belly, and said with a magical face: "As soon as I swallow this thing called Xingzao, it feels so comfortable, it doesn't seem to be so cold." ”
Duo: "I don't feel as cold anymore. "Although I felt a little cool when I first swallowed it, I soon felt a sense of comfort in my body, and even the cold seemed to be relieved.
Hearing the two of them say this, everyone's eyes became even hotter when they looked at Xingzao.
- It's a good thing!
Ye Xi: "According to the people of the White Turtle Tribe, Star Algae has the effect of enhancing physical fitness. ”
He thought about it, the reason why this star algae didn't have much effect on his physique enhancement was probably because he had swallowed the strange flower before, and his physique had already been strengthened once.
And ordinary people like Duo and Tao who are relatively weak, as well as old people like Wu who are unfathomable in strength but not in good physical condition, have a more significant effect.
As for the warriors, Ye Xi hadn't swallowed the star algae for the warriors, so he didn't know if it would have a big effect on them.
Chief: "This star algae also has a good effect on Wu, forget about these two if you eat them, let's send the dying star algae to Wu in the future." ”
Naturally, there was no objection from the crowd.
For them, it is happier to give the witch food than to eat it to themselves.
Of course, Ye Xi has no opinion, after all, Wu made this appearance to save him.
But while others can't eat it anymore, it's proven once again that it's a good thing!
Everyone has heard Ye Xi say that it is possible to reproduce if the star algae is well raised, and it can be raised more and more.
I don't dare to think about anything else, what if I raise it well, how many more star algae can be produced? After eating all of them to Wu, will Wu's body recover better?
But now the star algae in the stone basin looks sluggish, and everyone can't help but worry.
But fortunately, the vitality of the star algae is still quite tenacious, and as the ice in the stone basin gradually melts, the original star algae begin to be active again in the stone basin.
The ice cubes on the large tank also began to melt over time, leaving only transparent ice. The large frozen fish in the tank are clearly visible, they are of different colors, and their tails are swinging, like a delicate resin painting.
Thus began the days of "winter".
The days of being trapped in the house were boring, there were no entertainment activities in the primitive society, everyone had nothing to do all day long, and companions like Cone and Ling kept making people.
This stone house has a small cubicle that is specially set up for couples, and the partners who need it take turns to use it.
But don't think that primitive people would build a small cubicle, how shameful they were!
In the daily life of winter, Ye Xi was carving wood carvings with a blank expression, while listening to all kinds of unbearable sounds coming from the compartment.
In the past few days, he has found in despair that primitive man does not know what subtlety is, and that the people in the cubicle are very quiet, and all kinds of shouts and roars are incessant, and there are all kinds of men's and women's voices, and the sound is so loud that he suspects that it can be heard outside the stone house.
Ye Xi felt that his ears had been raped.
He curled up under the covers and slashed off a piece of wood. I complained viciously in my heart, Nima, my body is still a minor, don't you feel ashamed to pollute the ears of future flowers like this!
