Others can also do primitive movements among humans to kill time, but Ye Xi is bored, and can only carve wood carvings in his spare time.

There is no shortage of wood in the stone house, and a lot of dry firewood is stored during the dry season.

As a result, almost all of the coarser dry firewood was poisoned.

The firepit was filled with strange shapes, some in the shape of animals, some in the shape of people, rough or delicate, all mixed with sawdust, and sent into the fire without pity.

And after so many days of non-stop carving, his carving level has improved a lot.

Ye Xi felt that if he returned to the original world, it should not be a problem to set up a stall and sell wood carvings to support his family.

In addition to wood carving, Ye Xi also tried to carve witch patterns.

He has seen some witch patterns countless times, and the patterns have long been familiar to him. Unfortunately, without the help of rulers and other tools, it is still impossible to draw them with bare hands, let alone carve them.

So after failing dozens of times, I finally gave up.

Rubbing his frozen hands, Ye Xi continued to carve the animal.

This "winter" is indeed too cold for ordinary people, and he estimates that the current temperature may be as low as minus ten degrees, or even more than twenty degrees.

And there is still freezing rain outside for three days, this freezing rain is biting, and every time, the temperature will drop a little more.

Ye Xi was curious about the temperature of this freezing rain, and took a few drops with his hand, only to find that the taste of them on his skin was extremely sour, so he never wanted to try it again.

The fire in the fire pit in the stone house burned day and night, and did not dare to extinguish it.

With this fire pit as the center, the ground of the surrounding round land was dry, but the corners of the stone houses were covered with a layer of hoarfrost due to the cold.

Such a cold made Ye Xi dare not imagine how those tribes who did not have enough firewood in reserve would survive this "winter".

Thankfully, the "winter" passed quickly, and after four weeks, the sky began to clear and there was no more ice and rain.

The hoarfrost that covered the ground melted overnight.

Although women and children are still afraid to go out of the stone house, the soldiers have occasionally gone out of the stone house.

Because this "winter" passed so quickly, Ye Xi called it "Little Winter" in his heart.

In this little winter, seven people died in Tushan, three of them were old people, three were slave girls, and one was a child under the age of three.

But the mortality chief is already satisfied, and it is said that Tu Shan died twenty-three people in the great cold wave last year.

Without sufficient food and dry firewood, people with slightly poor physical fitness will not survive the winter.

Ye Xi thought in his heart that if he had enough time next year, he could make the "kang". With a warm kang and enough dry firewood to store, there may not be any deaths in next year's small winter.

He stood at the top of the mountain.

Looking at the water, which was still covered with thick ice, I felt the urge to make a pair of skates and go skating.

Of course, impulses are impulses, and if they really go down, slippery and slippery, and suddenly a huge water beast breaks out of the ice, and then the ice surface of the ice crushes to pieces, then the fun will be great.

But it's still a little bit of a bit of adventure and experimentation.

Ye Xi called a few warriors and asked them to carry a wooden barrel down the mountain with him.

Although the soldiers didn't know what Ye Xi wanted to do, they would not disobey Ye Xi's wishes, so they followed him to the foot of the mountain.

However, when Ye Xi wanted to walk on the ice, he was unusually resolutely stopped by a group of soldiers.

Ye Xi explained: "I only walked two or three steps from the shore, so there should be no danger. ”

Although there had never been a case of a water monster appearing from the ice in Tu Shan before, thus injuring people, out of fear of water, the soldiers still insisted on refusing to let Ye Xi go.

Seeing that Ye Xi wanted to go, a soldier proposed to let him go.

Ye Xi thought for a moment and handed him the dagger pinned to his waist.

"Dig a hole in the ice, it doesn't have to be too big, it's just that big. Ye Xi gestured, about the size of a watermelon, "Come back after digging." ”

The warrior took the order, held the dagger, and carefully stepped on the ice.

The soldiers on the shore sweated for him, but fortunately, nothing happened.

The warrior crouched on the ice and thrust his dagger into the ice.

Although the ice was thick, Ye Xi's dagger was very sharp, and with the strength of a warrior, he almost didn't use much force to plunge the blade into the ice.

The warrior cut the ice like a stone, and after a while made a circle, and then picked up the round ice with the blade of a dagger.

Good fellow, I saw that the ice that had been cut up was ten centimeters thick, and if it was thicker, the dagger would probably not be long enough.

The warrior finished his mission, stood up and walked back.

But I saw that something suddenly came out of the hole and slammed into the ice!

The warrior was shocked, thinking that it was some kind of water beast attacking, and reflexively took a big step back, almost slipping.

But when I looked closely, it turned out that what had come up was a big gray-skinned fish, which was stumbling around on the ice, and was almost about to fall into the hole.

Oh my God, it's a fish!

The warrior was overjoyed, and no matter why the fish suddenly jumped up, he hurriedly pounced on it and caught it.

Just as the warrior caught the fish, he saw another fish jump out of the ice!

Then one fish after another jumped out of the hole.

The ice cave was like a fountain of fish, spewing fish out of the room. In a short time, there were already more than a dozen fish jumping around on the ice, and there were still fish jumping out in a steady stream, as if there was no end.

The warriors were dumbfounded.

“...... Why did this fish jump out on its own?"

They thought it was a witch or some kind of witchcraft by Ye Xi, otherwise they couldn't explain why the fish came to the door as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.

The concept of oxygen could not be explained here, so Ye Xi said: "Because the ice freezes the surface of the water, fish and people also need to breathe. ”

This explanation is too strange, don't fish live in the water, how can they breathe on the surface of the water like humans? So this must be witchcraft! It's just that Ye Xi can't explain it to them for some reason, so he uses this reason, which sounds extremely fake.

So all the fighters looked like they were suddenly enlightened on the surface, and when they made eye contact with each other, they were all small eyes that you know and I understand.

Ye Xi noticed their small movements. Wan Er smiled, as if he didn't see it.

Actually, he was quite surprised. Because he had only heard that he could do this, but he didn't expect it to really work, and it was too exaggerated to have so many fish run out in just a moment.

But no matter how strange and bizarre it is, it's a great thing.

Now that it is the end of the rainy season, everyone's food stock is not much, and they dare not let go of their stomachs to eat.

The warriors standing on the ice kept catching the fish, completely forgetting the fear of water and ice. And the fighters on the shore are also ready to move, wanting to go to the ice to catch fish together.

...... As for being in danger?

Isn't there any danger when hunting? It's a big deal, as long as there is food, who is afraid of any danger.

However, at this time, Ye Xi became cautious.
