Chapter 40: Allicin
The villagers of Xinwa Village had different attitudes towards the matter of starting to become literate, but no one dared to say anything about Miss Lucy's arrangement.
It's just that a few older villagers couldn't help but find Cross and ask him what if he couldn't learn? Will it disappoint Miss Lucy and be angry.
I have to admit that there are many people who just don't have the talent to learn, especially when they get older, they usually forget to do things, and they have no confidence in such things as literacy.
Cross had thought about this before and asked Miss Lucy.
Lu Xi's answer to this is, "If you are old, you can learn slowly, just learn basic literacy and arithmetic." ”
Younger children and young and middle-aged people who are willing to continue their studies will then carry out an "advanced literacy class" to learn more and more advanced content.
The knowledge of this era is only in the hands of a few people, and the only way to learn knowledge is to have a good reincarnation plan, like Cross.
Because of a little personal relationship, I got the opportunity to work with the tavern owner, and learned knowledge through the ears and eyes around me.
If it weren't for the sudden accident in the village, Cross would probably have stayed under the tavernkeeper's hand and worked for him all the time.
So when it came to the knowledge that Miss Lucy was going to make everyone learn to read, no one could not open their eyes to the fact that they did not need it.
Although many people are old and do not have the confidence to learn, it is often the right age for their children to be older.
For the people at the bottom, literacy and illiteracy are completely different destinies.
For example, Cross, he only knows a few hundred words, and he can barely do some reading things, but with these few hundred words, no matter which nobleman he goes to, he can be a low-level manager, and with the foundation of climbing upward, others can only repeat their fate.
Let's just say Lu Xi, if it weren't for Cross himself who had learned a lot of things and could do things, would Lu Xi probably use him?
Therefore, the formation of the first batch of "literacy classes" at Lingyu Farm was very successful.
At the same time, a team of patrol guards who were supposed to take turns in the Spirit Farm were called up by Lu Xi and went to set up elemental magic circles everywhere to thaw the ice.
Both Orc Gerry and Anne went over to help, and it took almost two days.
In addition to the land used to build new houses was thawed, the small river around Xinwa Village was also thawed and used for water.
The elemental aura of the ice dragon only froze part of the surface of the river, and the water under the ground was still circulating, and when the ice first melted, a steady stream of fish jumped up from the gap.
The newcomers were fed for several days, and then as the ice melted wider, the fish ran out.
And these newcomers to the village were unexpectedly merged into Xinwa Village.
Because it was not an emergency escape, it was like the certificates of each village, and they were all well carried, which was convenient for Lu Xi, she sent a message to Betm in Crook Town, and successfully changed the group of villagers with new "ID cards".
Lu Xi asked people to make a simple distinction between the people of each village, and the strong young and middle-aged people were unified in the team to build new houses.
Knowing that what they want to build is their future home, everyone is full of motivation and does not complain or complain.
Those who are relatively weak and can't do heavy work, and those who can sew clothes, go to sew winter clothes.
Winter has arrived, and there has been a lot of snow in the past few days, but fortunately, it is a little stronger than rain, and it will not directly wet your body and clothes, as long as you pay more attention to it.
Lu Xi noticed that not everyone has a heavy winter coat that is enough to keep out the cold, and many people's winter clothes have been passed down for generations, not to mention dirty, and the items filled in it are also messy, making it difficult to have their due effect.
Lu Xi is also not bright, the cotton seeds planted in her field are directly harvested, and they can be directly processed into cotton cloth by using a sewing machine, so she ignores the fact that cotton cloth is actually made of cotton.
A few days ago, I was thinking about what good filler I could put in my clothes to keep warm, and when my mind turned, I suddenly thought "Cotton is made of cotton, I have cotton, what are you looking for?" ”
So half of the cotton harvested was left unprocessed into cotton cloth, and it was distributed to these people to make winter clothes and serve as fillers.
The rest of those who can't sew clothes and are too weak to do heavy work will follow with some chores, such as clearing the snow every day, keeping the square clean, and when cooking, they will work hard, handle the ingredients, help carry firewood, brush the dishes, and so on.
Lu Xi gave Xinwa Village a hot water kettle before, but it has a lot of use, one ton of hot water at a time, greatly reducing the trouble of brushing dishes and other work, using hot water to brush the pot and wash the bowl, not only clean, but also not frozen hands.
Put it in the square at night, these people who live in tents, who are cold, can get up at night and drink a few sips of hot water, they can also warm their bodies.
As for the young children, Lu Xi was directly arranged into the literacy class, and they were originally going to study, and they were also the main members of learning in Lu Xi's heart.
"The flowers of the future of the Spiritual Farm." Lu Xi commented.
This arrangement is convenient, adults have to work during the day, children will involve the energy of adults, and they will be arranged to take care of them, and adults can also concentrate on work.
In addition, the houses in Xinwa Village are extremely warm, and the fire kang can be cooked and burned several times a day to maintain the warmth of the whole day, which is better than keeping warm and comfortable in a thin tent.
The children stayed in the house during the day, which saved them from freezing any diseases, and at night, they could only let them persist first.
The first thing to do is winter clothes, which are given priority to the children in the younger grades, and the winter clothes are relatively large, so that they can be worn out during the day and can be used as most of the quilt cover at night.
After waiting for someone to have a winter coat, it is the production of winter quilts, although the number of people who need to sew is large, but there are many people who sew it, and the speed is still okay.
However, literacy classes are only two hours a day, and most teenage children have nothing to do all day, and they are old enough to do anything.
After thinking about it, Lu Xi opened several more "interest classes" for the children to learn along, such as Lady Lisa's embroidery class, such as the cooking class taught by the maids.
This allows many children to help sew winter clothes and quilts, as well as help make each meal, easing the workload of adults.
With the completion of the first batch of a dozen or so houses that could be inhabited, Northen brought back three more villagers, adding up to more than 200 people.
The villages were a little farther away, and it was only so slow for Innocent to return.
To add insult to injury, the first few villages were affected by the disaster for a short period of time, and the losses were small, and only a dozen or so elderly people could not survive it.
In the three villages that came later, the loss of population was much higher, and even many children died in this winter.
The worst thing is a village, I don't know which person got the cold first, infected most of the village, more than half of the old people and children are gone, even these villagers who followed Nuo Sen over, half of them are still in a state of cold, in order to avoid infection to the other two villages, they are separated by a considerable distance.
In a world where there are no antibiotics, the cold is like the plague in ancient times, it is an extremely difficult disease to treat, and it can only be resisted by the body.
And the reason why Northon brought them back was because there was a Holy See in the Spirit Farm, and he only needed a cup of holy water to solve most of the problems, and he didn't take the cold to heart.
Of course, this is also because the bodies of elemental warriors and elemental mages, guarded by elemental powers, will not get sick easily.
Lu Xi did go to the old woman Favreen to ask for holy water, and distributed it to heal these people, but he thought of more because of this.
She thought that there were no doctors in this world, only the clergy of the Holy See who relied on holy water to heal and save people, but not everyone could be cured by holy water.
It's like the villagers of these villages, they have a cold, and the guards of the human towns won't even let them in.
Only those diseases that are not serious and not contagious will be treated.
Lu Xi thought that she should be going to do something.
"Miss Lucy, there are so many books here, huh, this book?" It was the first time Xiuge had come to this library on the Spiritual Farm, and the small room contained a huge number of books, and Xiuge was dazzled by it.
Many of the books he had only seen in the family's storage, and it was said that they were all "lonely", but there was a second one here?!
Since the last time he suddenly "took the risk", even if Lu Xi repeatedly said that he was just staying on the farm, he couldn't stop Xiuge and the orc personality from forcibly following.
The two of them even lined up to see who would be responsible for protecting Miss Lucy when.
However, most of the time it is Xiuge, because of the size of the orc's personality, it is not very convenient for him in most indoor environments.
Lu Xi just came to find some books, wanting to see if the plant "garlic" could find the corresponding seeds in the recipes of people from other worlds.
She remembers that the corresponding medicine for wind and cold is penicillin, because she is allergic to penicillin, so she remembers very clearly that she can't take penicillin injections or penicillin medicine when she has a cold.
But this does not prevent penicillin from being really a good thing, and it is very useful - the only downside is that Lu Xi does not know how to make penicillin.
From the analysis of the name, it is probably extracted after something is moldy, just like watermelon frost, but what exactly is moldy and how to extract it, Lu Xi has no clue at all.
Fortunately, Lu Xi remembered that there was a low-cost substitute for penicillin called allicin, and the extraction method seemed to be simply squeezed into juice, and it seemed to have an effect when eaten raw.
Many people in her village like to eat raw garlic when they have a cold, but Lu Xi has always felt that they just like to eat garlic.
But no matter what, garlic should have some use for dealing with wind chills and colds.
And the wind cold and cold, for these civilians in the other world, is precisely the most susceptible to disease, if it can be treated...... Even if it's just a slight relief, I'm afraid it can save a lot of people.
For this reason, Lu Xi specially came to the library to search for the corresponding records, if she could find garlic seeds, using the golden finger, she would soon be able to grow a large amount of garlic.
Yes, there are no garlic seeds in the game system, and so far, the number of seeds in the game system is less than 200 species, and many of them were discovered by Lu Xi later.
Most of the seeds in the system can be directly used as food, such as garlic, which can only be used as an ingredient, but there are substitute seeds, but whether there is a role of garlic, Lu Xi can not be sure.
Otherwise, Lu Xi wouldn't need to be so troublesome.
was flipping through the books, Lu Xi glanced at the library, and Miss Deella was not there.
Xiao Yuan ran to help build the house, and helped the humans it liked, and he was not around.
There were only her and Xiuge in the room, and after holding back for a long time, she finally took this opportunity to say it.
"Have you been promoted to a high-level elemental warrior? Revision. ”
Originally, Xiuge was in retreat, seeking opportunities for promotion, but who would have thought that Lu Xi would suddenly "disappear".
Regarding the things during his adventure, Lu Xi never asked Xiuge, because there were always other people next to him, and Xiuge had an evasive attitude, so Lu Xi was not good at asking.
It's rare to be alone, and Lu Xi finally had the opportunity to ask.
"No, Miss Lucy." Xiuge was silent for a while, but still answered Lu Xi.
Lu Xi was taken aback, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, and looked at Xiuge seriously, "Is it because of me?" ”
Xiuge pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, it's not, don't think about it. ”
Lu Xi's heart sank, Xiuge rarely used honorifics for her.
Probably afraid that Miss Lucy would blame herself, after being silent for a while, Xiuge replied to Lu Xi in a low voice.
It turned out that on the first night of Lu Xi's adventure's disappearance, Xiuge had grasped the threshold of promoting to a high-level elemental warrior, and only one thing left was to re-sign a higher-level elemental contract.
In fact, there is not so much trouble in the initial promotion, as long as the body is polished and forged, the accumulation of elemental power and the comprehension of knowledge, after reaching the threshold, you can naturally be promoted.
Or because of those pirated elemental contracts, a level of elemental contracts can only obtain that level of power, and if you want to be promoted, you can only sign a higher-level elemental contract.
Trumini is the Earth Elemental Kingdom, and Xiuge is the Wind Elemental Element, and it is obvious that the elemental contract of the high-level Wind Attribute is unlikely to be in the hands of the Pobelstein family.
However, this is not a difficult situation for the Pobelstein family, they have a completely reasonable channel to trade with other clans of the high-level elemental contract of the wind attribute in exchange for the promotion of Xiuge.
This is a good thing, but it means that it takes about three months for Xiuge to go to other countries, sign a high-level elemental contract, and then come back.
This was of course no problem before Lu Xi went on a risk to disappear, but after Lu Xi went missing, Xiuge obviously didn't plan to do anything away from Miss Lucy.
This accident made Xiuge know his "naivety" and "innocence", and his strength was undoubted, but he still put Miss Lucy in danger of being alone.
Lord Dannoi already knew about this, but he did not dissuade Xiuge, even if the deal that had been prepared for Xiuge collapsed because of Xiuge's non-cooperation, Lord Dannoi withstood the pressure of the Poberstein family and did not affect Xiuge's decision.
Knights should be clear about their loyalty.
How is it getting late to update......
No, I'm a restrained person, I'm going to code words early tomorrow!
