Start Ancient: Take your family and lie down in the natural disaster to win

Completely unaware that they asked one question after another, leaving no time for Old Man Hua to speak.

"Let's talk about it. Uncle, Brother Qishan, don't be anxious. Drink some tea first and take it easy."

Hua Chengtian, who received his father's gaze, quickly handed each of them a bowl of tea.

That is to say, there is no shortage of water in their valley, and the water level of the lake in the center of the valley has not dropped much. Otherwise, how could they have such luxury of pouring water one bowl at a time.

But even so, every household still stores a lot of water in their cellars, just in case.

Although they didn't know the situation outside, they knew the temperature outside the valley, and they could imagine that the situation must be very bad.

Several people took it over and drank it, then waited for Huaman to speak.

Old man Hua: "..."

have to! It's better to say it quickly, otherwise I'm worried that a few clan uncles will stretch out their crutches.

"...That's it, this ice cube didn't come from somewhere, we made it ourselves."

"What?" The Li clan elder stood up from the armchair quickly, completely unable to tell that he was nearly seventy years old.

"Don't interrupt, listen to Huaman." Huahuai glared at Hua Li, who couldn't hold his breath, and then motioned to Huaman with his eyes to continue.

"That's it..."

In short, these ices were accidentally poured out by a few children when they were bored, and the material used was saltpeter.

Young people are always imaginative, and it’s not surprising to come up with novel things.

"So that kid Chengtian went up the mountain a few days ago just to find saltpeter."

Everyone came to their senses. No wonder Hua Chengtian took the children up the mountain when the weather was so hot. It turned out to be to make ice.

"Yes, although there is some saltpeter at home, it is not much. Once Chengtian found out that it could be turned into ice, he couldn't stay any longer."

"Okay, okay, great. The children are all good. If it were us, we wouldn't be able to sit still. So has the saltpeter been collected?"

Several elderly people who were several hundred years old together could not sit still and happily circled around the ice. If they were not too old to jump up, they would probably jump up and down.

"I picked it back." Old Man Hua pointed at several tightly covered wooden barrels under the table.

"So...you called us over..."

"Yes... I want to tell you how to make ice. With them, you can at least have a good sleep at night..." Old Man Hua said with a smile.

"Good boy, I thank you on behalf of the whole village. With this ice, I can really save my life."

Although the temperature in the valley is much better than outside. As long as you don't walk outside for a long time, it's no problem. It's also more comfortable at night. But this is only relative. It's still much hotter than in the past during the summer. I feel like sleeping at night. It was impossible to have a solid sleep, and I had to wake up several times due to the heat.

These old men were so excited that they looked at Bing more lovingly than their own son.

"Uncle, I'm sorry. We all belong to one clan and one village. Naturally, we share blessings and share hardships..." Old Man Hua quickly waved his hand.

"Good good..."

Hua Laohan: "...Secondly, there is another thing. There is a method to make ice, but everyone may have to collect the saltpeter themselves..." Hua Huai nodded: "It should be done, it should be done, I'll leave this matter to you. We old ones, there are many strong men in the village, let them pick it when the night is cool."

We can't let Huamanjia have to provide ingredients when making prescriptions. Hundreds of families in the entire valley can't afford it.

"Yes, leave this matter to us." Huatachi and his party also nodded.

"Okay, let the Yun'ao brothers take everyone with them when the time comes. As long as there is enough saltpeter, there will be an endless supply of ice, and the ice can be recycled after melting without worrying about waste."

After solving this matter, Old Man Hua felt relieved and his tone of voice became much lighter.

From now on, I no longer have to be secretive about how to use ice at home.

"Then what are you waiting for? It starts tonight." After saying that, the clan elder and Hua Qishan and his party couldn't wait.

The sooner the ice is made, the sooner everyone can enjoy it, right?

They stood up and were about to leave, but before they reached the door, they all stopped one after another. Their eyes looked at the pots of ice in the main room, and their eyes shot out with such intense light that they even tried to pretend they couldn't see it.

Then, regardless of whether their legs and feet were OK or not, several old men who were almost seventy years old would each pick up a basin of ice and even throw their canes aside, as if they suddenly became more than ten years younger, which frightened Old Man Hua and Hua Chengtian Stop the old men quickly.

"Uncle Clan, what are you doing? Be careful with your health." Old Man Hua couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly took the basin of ice from the hands of the Clan Elder. Hua Chengtian and Hua Yun'ao, Hua Yunxiang, also hurriedly took the ice in the old man's hand. Pass the basin.

It's so hot outside, not to mention whether the old men are walking steadily, the weight of a basin of ice alone is enough for the old men to drink a bottle, but I don't dare let them carry it back.

"Why don't you give up?" Seeing that Huaman and his son were trying to snatch the ice from their hands, the old men immediately became unhappy. They looked at them with beards and eyes, as if they would not give up until they gave up.

"Where, even if you don't want it, I'm going to send it over. But how can I let you carry it back because it's so heavy? Carefully move your waist and let Chengtian and the others send it over." Old Man Hua said hurriedly, with a compensatory smile on his face.

"That's pretty much it. Let's just say that Huaman is not a careful person." The elders of the Huai tribe were immediately impressed. "There is no need for Chengtian and the others to deliver it. I will ask my grandchildren to come over and carry it later."

"That's right, let's come over here to get it." Others also nodded.

With so many families relying on Chengtian and his son for transportation, they are not so shameless on such a hot day.

"Okay, then come and serve it." The old man has no objection to this. Whether it is delivered to him or served by himself, as long as the old men don't serve it by themselves.

The old men were satisfied and no longer looked at the ice basin with inseparable eyes. They waved their hands and walked out anxiously.

Old Man Hua hurriedly sent the elders out and signaled to his son, who then sent the clan elders home one by one.

When Hua Chengtian and the others came back, a group of people followed behind them. As soon as they entered the village chief's house, they all sighed in comfort, and then they all held the wooden basins like hungry wolves before they saw meat. Without any embarrassment, he thanked the village chief and quickly ran home.

In short, dozens of ice basins were almost divided up in an instant, and a few were left behind with some conscience.

Then at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of Hua's house. Hundreds of people had gathered outside. Old Man Hua couldn't wait and couldn't laugh or cry.

However, I understand everyone's urgent mood. After all, it can be very hot today, so I quickly ordered my two grandsons to bring enough water and lighting torches to lead a group of people up the mountain. Dahei and Erhui followed them to help guard.

This is the Qinggu Mountains. Although the temperature is high, don't underestimate the adaptability of the animals, especially the animals in the deep mountains.

They will definitely not come out when the sun is scorching them during the day, but they will definitely come out to look for food and water at night in order to survive. With Hei Da and the others following Old Man Hua, they can rest assured.
