A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 168
In the night sky, there is darkness mixed with emptiness, and the ears are lonely.

Except for a few shallow breaths, it was quiet and quiet.

Jiang Qing was lying on her side with her eyes open, wondering what happened to Lang Mo and the others?

Did you go to the underground river channel a hundred years ago? Time flies. It has been more than a hundred years. I don’t know if the underground river channel has collapsed or is blocked?
Listening to the soft chirping of insects, Xu was so tired that Jiang Qing fell asleep unconsciously.

In the early morning, the cool morning wind rolled the dead leaves and brushed across the cheeks.

Jiang Qing couldn't help shivering, wiped her cheeks casually, and bit a willow branch to rinse her mouth.

Seeing Jiang Qing trembling, Cao Cao's eyes flashed, she quickly walked into the cave and turned over, "Jiang Qing, I found you an animal skin skirt, you put it on."

Rosen was taken aback before realizing it.

They are used to the cold wind in the dry season, and the chill is biting. In fact, the weather is not bad now, and it will be even colder in a few days.

Back then, no one wanted to get up and move around once it was dark.

It was so cold that even a person could freeze easily.Many people in the tribe choose to spend the dry season together. After all, it is better to have someone to warm up your body than to be alone.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Qing trembled, rubbing her hands vigorously.

It was obviously not so cold yesterday morning, but only one day later, the temperature suddenly dropped by at least three to five degrees.To be honest, such a sudden drop in temperature is exaggerated!
"Yesterday, the weather was still warm." Jiang Qing took it, and immediately got into it, saying, "Why did the weather get so cold when I woke up?"

"The closer the dry season is, the faster the temperature will drop." Cao said worriedly, and stepped forward to help Jiang Qing's clothes. "In the past, many elderly people in the tribe would freeze to death every year. Later, the patriarch suggested that the elderly should live in the dry season." Together, things will slowly get better!"

Cao's voice was heavy and sad.

Luo Shan lowered her head and her eyes were slightly red. She heard from her mother that her mother's father died of freezing back then.She was just born at that time, and that year was extremely cold, and many members of the tribe died in that year.

Even she almost couldn't survive, but she didn't expect her fate to be hard, so she just survived.

"Don't worry, the clan will get better and better!" Jiang Qing comforted.

"Yeah!" Cao nodded heavily, and said, "I'm busy migrating this year, so I haven't had time to sew clothes for the dry season. I hope the land of Taoyuan won't be too cold after the migration..."

Luo Shan reached out and patted the grass shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, didn't the patriarch say that? The weather in Taoyuan is the opposite of that in the Forest of Death. Maybe it happens to be the rainy season over there."

Hearing this, Jiang Qing nodded and said: "Luo Shan is right. The Land of Taoyuan may coincide with spring and summer at this time. The temperature in spring and summer is relatively high. Even if you wear it like this, it won't be cold."

"Chun Xia?" Cao asked puzzled.

Jiang Qing smiled and explained: "In my tribe, we divide a year into four seasons, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter. A season is three months, and a month is about 30 days. Unlike you who just divide a year into Rainy season and dry season, two simple seasons."

"The division is very detailed." Luo Shan praised.

"How is the sky calculated?" Ya's cold voice suddenly sounded from the side.

A few people were startled, and they turned around with a dark face, but saw many people standing beside them.They all listened carefully to the conversation between Jiang Qing and the others. It was obvious that they were very interested in the seasons Jiang Qing talked about, such as spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"The sky is also called the day, and a day is also a day, and a day is subdivided into 24 hours. Of course, sometimes 24 hours can be divided into twelve hours." Jiang Qing drank her saliva, and then said: "I calculated , the day here is slightly longer, about thirty hours."

"How do you calculate the hours?" Ya asked curiously.

Everyone also looked at Jiang Qing curiously. They only knew the approximate time based on the sun in the sky.The exact time has never been understood.

Jiang Qing took a branch and stood it up, saying: "Make this place into a circle, go up north and down south, left west and right east, we will take the north as twelve o'clock, the south as six o'clock, and the left and west as three o'clock." , and the right east is nine o'clock..."

Jiang Qing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"It's really convenient!" Ya nodded earnestly. Although they didn't understand a lot of things, it didn't prevent them from writing them down.

"These need to understand the climate conditions here before they can be subdivided in detail. It is not necessary now." Jiang Qing said regretfully, many things have a step-by-step process, and it is unrealistic to eat a big fat man in one bite. .

"However, it's very practical." Ya said seriously.

If you know the specific time, the men who go hunting can arrange their time more flexibly, but now we are talking about these empty holes.

As Jiang Qing said, it is temporarily unavailable.

Jiang Qing didn't deny it, she turned around and looked at Luo Shan, and said, "Luo Shan, you lead the way, let's hurry up and pick as many medicinal herbs as possible today, after all, we may not be able to pick medicinal herbs for a while after the migration."

Luo Shan said: "Go to the southern valley first, it happens to be within the scope of the tribe's patrol, we don't have to worry about wild beasts sneaking up."

The food was prepared last night, some roast meat, dry and mediocre.However, no one complained at this time, and under Qing's arrangement, the tribe launched operations in an orderly manner.

Jiang Qing and his party consisted of nearly 30 people.Five of them are men, they are considered to be with the team for protection. Of course, in addition to being with the team for protection, they also need to carry the herbs picked by Jiang Qing and the others.

"Qing, I see Jiang Qing's clothes are inappropriate, did you not have time to sew clothes for her in the dry season?" Lan whispered.

They had to wait for everyone to leave before going out to collect the wild fruits. They needed to arrange everyone properly to avoid causing trouble.

Qing nodded and said: "The clothes probably belonged to that child. Jiang Qing has been very tired these days. How can I have time to sew clothes? I sewed two for her, but I have been busy. If you don't mention it today, I forgot about it."

"Just sew it up, and I sewed it up here too." Lan said with a smile, "Jiang Qing looks delicate, and I don't know what kind of tribe can raise such delicate people. It's our tribe." I owe her..."

"She's kind!" Qing smiled. Jiang Qing was sincere. She had done a lot for the tribe in the past month, but she never heard a single complaint from her.

With this kind of heart, they deserve their respect!

"No, I thought about the land of Taoyuan that the patriarch said, and looked at the food hoarded in the cellar. I always feel that this year's dry season can be passed safely, and I have finally survived for so many years!" Lan Shuxin laughed, and said this , everyone next to him echoed.

"Yes! Finally made it through!" Qing skillfully carried the wisteria on his back, put the bone knife into the wisteria, and threw Lang Rui to Kong.

Shouting to the rest of the tribe, they walked towards the woods.
