Chapter 78 Building a hut

After the roof of the hut is built, the next step is to install the door.The door is relatively simple and crude. Just nail the simple bamboo curtain door to the roof and wall and let it hang straight down.

Finally, there is "Wind and Rain Corridor", which is a name given by Wen Xian, which has a unique elegance.

The "Wind and Rain Corridor" is the distance from the cave to the hut.

Although this distance is only one meter away, it still has to be built.Not only does this meter-long distance need to be built, but also the entrance of the cave must be included, and a canopy must be built.

Otherwise, if there is another snowy day like the past few days, the snow piles up outside the door, making it impossible to even open the door, let alone go out to the latrine.

Wen Xian thought this in her heart, but unexpectedly her words came true. The next day after the hut was built, it snowed heavily again.

"Well, why don't we grit our teeth today and build a corridor." Zhou Hui walked around the door a few times and couldn't help but gritted her teeth.

She couldn't bear to solve the tuba by herself in Gongtong. She couldn't help but solve it in the cave before, but she was so embarrassed that she was so embarrassed. Fortunately, the snow melted the next day and she could go out.

Xia Zhi felt the same way. Although she held back, the waiting process was painful.

Not to mention them, even Wen Xian couldn't hold it in anymore.I put on my raincoat and rushed outside, vowing to build a "wind and rain corridor" today.

It's just that the 'Wind and Rain Corridor' has no wall support and is covered with snow, so it's naturally not that easy to build.

But with only one breath of support, Wen Xian and the others finally built it out within two hours.

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

After building the hut, everyone suffered from frostbite on their hands, feet and ears.

The frostbite was itchy and painful, so Bai Qiangwei scratched the frostbite on her ears.

Sheng Lian'er was the same, and she cried and asked Wen Xian for help: "Madam, please help me, I'm itching to death."

God, this is the first time she's had chilblains like this.It was itchy and painful, and she felt like she was going to die.She would rather work more than suffer from frostbite.

"Stop scratching. It's easy to get infected if you scratch it." Wen Xian grabbed Sheng Lian'er's hand to stop her, "Let me think about which method is better."

She frowned and began to recall the home remedies for treating chilblains. After all, there was chilblain cream in her previous life, so who would bother with these home remedies.

Fortunately, she studied Chinese medicine. Thinking back on it, she came up with many ways.There are just too many methods and she doesn’t know what to use.

There are three types that are suitable for their current situation.

One method is to soak dried red peppers in boiling water. After cooling slightly, put the frostbitten hands and feet into the water and soak them until the water is cool.

Then take out the red pepper soaked in water, wrap it in cloth before going to bed at night, stick it on the frostbitten area, and take it off the next morning.Use it more than twice in a row and the effect will be significant.

The second method is to roast fresh ginger slices and then rub or apply them on the frostbite area.Apply two to three times a day for about 10 minutes each time.

The third method is to use cooked egg yolks. After taking out the egg yolks, bake them over low heat until the butter inside precipitates.After it cools, apply it externally to the chilblains.

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

Of course, Wen Xian prefers the second option.The second method is to apply the burnt ginger slices directly, which is the simplest, most convenient and economical.

After all, there aren’t many chili peppers, so [-] people soaking their hands and feet together would consume 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. Although the ginger she planted will not survive when transplanted into a hole, it will stay fresh if buried in the soil.

You can dig up a piece of ginger and cut it into dozens of slices, so you can make whatever you want.

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

Wen Xian waved her hand and said: "Then you can bake the ginger slices yourself, but you can't apply it to the scratched area."

"Ah." Sheng Lian'er and Bai Qiangwei drooped their heads, instantly frustrated.The scratched areas were the most serious, and they didn't want to apply it. They should have endured it.

Wen Xian immediately reminded again: "Be sure not to apply it, otherwise it will irritate the wound and it will really hurt."

Sheng Lian'er nodded with tears in her eyes: "I understand, madam."

Bai Qiangwei followed closely: "I know it too, madam."

Then there was an unusual voice: "Oh, it's delicious. Don't tell me, these roasted ginger slices have a unique flavor."

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

……

I thought it would start snowing again for half a month, but I didn't expect that it would only snow for one day and one night before it stopped, and the sun came out.

Wen Xian was wearing a cotton-padded coat and a fox fur coat, holding little Huihui in her arms as she walked towards the seaside.

She was going to the beach to have a look, wondering if there would be any unexpected discoveries.

It was already the temperature of late winter. Even if the tide went out, Wen Xian would not dare to take people into the sea to fish, even if they were picking up seafood on the beach.

They are not short of food now, but if they catch a cold, the gain outweighs the loss.

Looking around, there was mist floating on the sea, and there was no trace of Sun Island.

Wen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally understood why she couldn't go to sea besides being cold.

With such a heavy fog, you might lose your way when going to sea.

She walked around the seaside for a while and found no animal tracks, so she threw the little Huihui into the woods and let it look for food on its own.

After these two days of training, Xiao Huihui has already formed a habit of going into the woods as soon as he goes to the ground.While drilling, Wen Xian stopped to dig the soil a few times, which made Wen Xian very happy.

Together with Xiao Huihui, he really dug the rabbit out of the snow.

It's a pity that there is only a thin layer of snow on the ground now, so there is nowhere to bury the animals.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian thought and followed Xiao Huihui's footsteps into the woods.

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

She hadn't heard the sound of large beasts in the past few days, so she walked into the woods confidently.

Facts have proved that there are still rewards, such as the frozen wild egg in her hand.

Wen Xian curled her lips, put the egg in her pocket, and continued walking forward.

"Aww~aoww~" Xiao Huihui saw her coming and quickly turned around and ran back to act coquettishly at her.

Then, the little guy bit her fox fur and dragged her aside.

Wen Xian bent down and patted its head and said, "Did you find the prey and want to take me to find it?"

"Ow~Ow~"

Xiao Huihui whined twice, then continued to bite the fox fur, wagging its tail at Wen Xian.

"Let's go, take me there." Wen Xian raised her chin, but couldn't help but muttered, "She's really becoming more and more like a dog."

She didn’t keep a dog in the cave, and she didn’t know who Xiao Huihui learned it from.

But seeing how positive Xiao Huihui looked, she couldn't bear to refuse.Regardless of whether there is prey or not, they will follow it.
