Chapter 78: Building a Thatched House

After the roof of the thatched house is erected, the next step is to install the door. The door is relatively simple and simple, just nail the simple bamboo curtain door to the roof and wall and let it hang straight down.

Finally, there is the 'Wind and Rain Corridor', which is the name taken by Wen Xian, which has a unique taste.

The 'wind and rain corridor' is the distance from the cave to the thatched house.

Although this distance is only one meter away, it still has to be built. Not only did this one-meter-long distance have to be built, but the entrance to the cave had to be included and a canopy had to be built.

Otherwise, on a snowy day like the other day, the snow is piled up outside the door, and you can't even open the door, let alone go out to the thatched house.

Wen Xian thought so in her heart, but unexpectedly, the day after the thatched house was built, it snowed again.

"Well, why don't you grit your teeth and put up the hallway today." Zhou Hui turned around the door a few times and couldn't help gritting her teeth.

She couldn't stand it anymore and solved the tuba in the Gong bucket, she couldn't help but solve it in the cave before, but she was ashamed to die of an immortal, but fortunately she could go out the next day when the snow melted.

Xia Zhi empathized, although she endured it, the process of waiting was painful.

Don't talk about them, even Wen Xian can't hold it back. Put on your coat and rush outside, vowing to build the 'wind and rain corridor' today.

It's just that the 'wind and rain corridor' is not supported by a fence, and it is covered with snow, so it is naturally not so easy to build.

But with a breath of support, Wen Xian and the others finally set it up within two hours.

After the problem of the thatched house was solved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went back to the cave to drink a bowl of ginger soup and warm themselves around the fire.

And after the construction of the thatched hut, everyone had frostbite on their hands, feet and ears.

Frostbite was itchy and painful, and White Rose directly scratched the frostbite on her ear.

Sheng Li'er was the same, and by the way, she cried and cried to Wen Xian for help: "Madame, help me, I'm going to itch to death." ”

God, this is the first time she's got this chilblains. It was itchy and painful, and she felt like she was dying. She'd rather work more than get this chilblain.

"Don't scratch it, it's easy to get infected if you scratch it." Wen Xian grabbed Sheng Li'er's hand to stop her, "Wait until I think about which method to use." ”

She frowned and began to recall the home remedies for chilblains, after all, there was chilblain cream in her previous life, who would go to fix these home remedies.

Fortunately, she studied Chinese medicine, and when she thought about it this time, she thought of many ways to come out. It's just that there are too many methods, and she doesn't know what to use.

There are three types of conditions that are suitable for them at the moment.

One is to soak dried red peppers in boiling water, wait for a little cooling, and then put frostbitten hands and feet into the water and soak until the water is cold.

After that, take out the red pepper soaked in water, wrap it in a cloth before going to bed at night, stick it to the frostbitten area, and take it off the next morning. If you use it more than twice in a row, the effect is significant.

The second is to bake fresh ginger slices and rub them or apply them to the frostbite area. Apply for about 20 minutes two to three times a day.

The third is to use hard-boiled egg yolks, take out the egg yolks, and bake them over low heat until the butter inside precipitates. Once it has cooled, apply it to the chilblains.

They have all the raw materials used in these three methods, and it depends on which one is the most convenient.

Of course, Wen Xian leaned towards the second type. The second is directly applied with boiled ginger slices, which is the simplest, most convenient and economical.

After all, there are not many chili peppers, and eleven people soak their hands and feet together, which consumes too much.

There are only a few wild eggs, which are not enough to supplement Jiang Jingwan's nutrition, how can they be used to compress hands and feet.

On the contrary, ginger is the most suitable, and although the ginger she planted is transplanted into the hole, it is not alive, but it can be kept fresh when buried in the soil.

You can cut dozens of slices by digging up a piece of ginger, and you can make it casually.

In this regard, others have also expressed their choice to use ginger.

Wen Xian waved her hand and said, "Then you can roast the ginger slices yourself, but you can't apply the scratched place." ”

"Ahh Sheng Li'er and Bai Rose drooped their heads, instantly depressed.

The scratched place is the most serious, and they are not allowed to apply it, and they knew that they should endure it.

Wen Xian immediately reminded again: "Don't apply it, otherwise it will stimulate the wound, and it will really hurt." ”

Sheng Li'er nodded with teary eyes and said, "Got it, madam." ”

White Rose followed: "I know too, ma'am. ”

And then there was an alternative voice: "Hmm~ It's delicious." Not to mention, this roasted ginger slice has a unique flavor. ”

Fang Jiaren commented while eating, and Wen Xian was speechless for a while.

……

I thought that this snow would start in half a month, but I didn't expect it to stop after only one day and one night, and the sun came out.

Wen Xian was wearing cotton clothes inside and fox fur outside, and walked towards the beach with a little gray ash in her hand.

She was going to the beach to take a look, and she didn't know if there would be any unexpected discoveries.

It's the temperature of deep winter, and even if the tide is low, Wen Xian doesn't dare to take people into the sea to catch fish, even if it's picking up seafood on the beach.

There is no shortage of food for them now, and if they catch a cold, the gains outweigh the losses.

Looking around, the sea is foggy, and there is not the slightest trace of Sun Island.

Wen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but she could understand why she couldn't go to sea except for the cold.

With such a big fog, I'm afraid I will lose my way when I go to sea.

She walked around the beach for another while, but found no animal tracks, so she threw the little ash into the woods and let it feed on its own.

After two days of training, Little Gray has developed a habit of burrowing into the woods when he goes to the ground. While drilling, he stopped to dig a few soils, and Wen Xian was very happy to watch.

The little gray ash really dug the rabbit out of the snow.

It's a pity that now a thin layer of snow is spread on the ground, where will the animals be buried.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian's heart moved, and she followed the footsteps of Little Gray Ash into the woods.

There are no animals buried in the snow, but there are animals that have frozen to death.

She hadn't heard the sound of a large beast for a few days, so she walked boldly into the woods with confidence.

As it turned out, there were still gains, such as the wild egg in her hand that was frozen into ice.

Wen Xian hooked her lips, put the egg in her pocket, and continued to walk forward.

"Woo~Woo~" Little Gray saw her coming over, and quickly turned around and ran back to play coquettish at her.

Then, the little one bit her fox fur and dragged it to the side.

Wen Xian bent down and patted its head and said, "You found prey and want to take me to find it?" ”

"Woo~Woo~"

Little Gray Whimpered twice, continued to bite the fox fur, and wagged his tail at Wen Xian.

"Let's go, take me." Wen Xian raised her chin, but couldn't help muttering, "It's really getting more and more like a dog." ”

She didn't have a dog in the cave, and she didn't know who she learned from.

But seeing that Ash was so positive, she couldn't bear to refuse. Whether there is prey or not, they will follow it.
