"It's only the beginning of winter, why does it keep snowing?" Jiang Jingwan walked over with one hand on her waist and the other on her belly, her eyes full of worry, "If this continues, it might turn into a snow disaster."
Just after the war, there was another snowstorm, which made it difficult for the people to live.
In the past, she knew that the emperor was fatuous, but the harem could not interfere in politics. She could do nothing but live frugally and pray for her people.
Not to mention the current situation, there was nothing she could do except worry.
Wen Xian glanced at her and said: "You are worried, this world has nothing to do with us now."
The world is already riddled with holes, people are in dire straits, and everyone is in danger.
Jiang Jingwan shook her head and smiled bitterly: "As the mother of a country, I couldn't do anything for the people, and I am even more powerless now. But no matter how the imperial power changes, the people are innocent."
She hopes that one of the descendants of the royal family will have a wise king who can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing.
It's a pity that all the descendants of the royal family have been slaughtered, leaving only the one in his belly.
In addition to worrying about survival issues, she is also worried about the child in her belly, what if she is born a daughter.
Is it possible to let your daughter become the empress? She thought she didn't have the ability to keep her in that position.
Wen Xian didn't know what she was thinking. After hearing her words, she was relieved and said: "Relax, maybe the environment is different. We only have continuous snowstorms at sea. When we go to sea, it's probably not as cold."
She was telling the truth. She even suspected that only Death Island had such extreme weather.
After all, when Zhu Qing and Zhu Li persuaded them to leave, they more or less revealed that this place was not suitable for survival.
But at that time, she thought it was because of the wolves that it was not suitable for survival.
No matter what they think in their hearts, they still have to live their lives, but they just can't go out and build a hut right away.
There were more than 20 egg pancakes left over from yesterday. If you heat them up today, you can eat two meals.
Wen Xian skinned the hare that Xiao Huihui brought back yesterday, washed it with snow water, and then made roasted rabbit for dinner at night.
Use a dagger to make a few cuts on various parts of the rabbit meat, add salt, chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns, turn it over the fire and roast it until it is brown.
After roasting, tear it apart with your hands. Give one rabbit leg to Jiang Jingwan, and tear the other rabbit leg into small pieces together with the other meat. This is a simple version of hand-shredded roast rabbit.
As for the leftover bones, leave them to Little Huihui to grind his teeth.
It wasn't that Wen Xian didn't give meat to Xiao Huihui, but that she forgot to add seasonings to the roast rabbit, and Xiao Huihui couldn't eat it. I can only give it two egg pancakes with bacon as compensation.
Xiao Huihui: ...Okay, he's still young, he'll eat raw meat when he grows up.
Wen Xian felt guilty and planned to save some of her own rations in the next two days to subsidize Xiao Huihui.
The hand-shredded roasted rabbit tasted amazing, and several people who ate it said it was so satisfying.
Hu Ke'er directly picked up Little Huihui, made it face him, and said: "Little Huihui, little Huihui, next time please catch more rabbits and bring them back to my aunt."
Xiao Huihui whimpered, not knowing what she was talking about.
Hu Keer took action directly and pressed Xiao Huihui's head a few times.
Then he said happily: "Now, if you nod, I will take it as your agreement. Next time I will definitely watch and grill you a rabbit leg without spicy flavor."
Fang Jiaren took the words, looked at Xiao Huihui kindly, and said with a serious promise: "Next time, my aunt will bake it specially for you, Xiao Huihui."
Wen Xian:......
Is she all the bad guy?
…
The second snow is actually equivalent to the first snow, after all, it only stopped for one day.
It snowed for another seven days.
In addition to the snow in front, the snow outside has now reached the thighs, making it impossible to even open the cave door.
Wen Xian stood on the stone, opened a slit between the two sun-drenched coir raincoats, and looked out, only to see a vast expanse of white.
She sighed, jumped off the stone and returned to the cave to warm herself by the fire: "If we can't get out, we have to hold on for a few more days. Let's go out again when the snow melts."
I don’t know how many days it will take for such thick snow to melt. You could break out and use tools to clear a path, but it's not necessary.
Hu Keer's eyes lit up and she said: "With such thick snow, all the prey in the mountains must be buried in the snow. When the snow melts, we can follow Xiao Huihui to pick up the prey."
Then wear thicker clothes and pick up more prey to eat in the winter.
"I'll go too." Fang Jiaren nodded fiercely and agreed. She wants to eat roast rabbit and chicken.
The others remained silent, waiting to see what Wen Xian said.
Wen Xian shook her head and said: "To be conservative, we still can't go. In this weather, large animals can't find food. Now that the snow has stopped, they will definitely come out."
A beast that has been hungry for several days without food will go crazy.
Wolf Pack: Yes, I want to go crazy and be a crazy wolf.
Wild Boar: Where did you put my crazy pig?
Thinking of the scene of being chased by all kinds of hungry wild beasts, Hu Keren and Fang Jiaren couldn't help but trembled, and they both said they didn't want to go.
As for Xiao Huihui, naturally he has not been released. Just wait a few days and then let him pick up the leaks.
Sure enough, starting from the evening of that day, the mountains were filled with the sounds of various animals, which made everyone more cautious.
This starving animal picking contest lasted for three days. It was not until the beginning of the fourth day that the peace of the past was restored.
The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, and most of the snow has melted away. But the days when the snow melts are colder than the days when it snows, so the temperature outside drops a lot.
After the snow outside only reached the calves and the cave door could be opened, Wen Xian and his party hurriedly went out to find a place to solve their physical problems.
Even Little Huihui was thrown into the woods again by Wen Xian, letting him look for food nearby.
Unfortunately, I was unlucky this time and didn't catch any prey.
Wen Xian was not discouraged and still let Xiao Huihui go out for a few days, although she still found nothing.
Two days later, after all the snow on the ground melted, Wen Xian quickly took everyone except Jiang Jingwan to dig mud and collect stones to build a hut.
There is penetration of the snow, so the soil is quite easy to dig. They dug latrines, dug soil, and picked up rocks.
In order to enjoy the convenience of the hut as soon as possible, everyone is very motivated. In just two days, a hut of about four square meters was built.
Of course, it can be made wider, but in this kind of weather, it is too wide and leaks air.
In addition, the weather is cold and we don’t know when it will snow again, so we have to build the hut quickly.
After the walls are built, the roof is installed. Wen Xian made a special trip to let the earthen wall dry for a day before nailing the already completed roof to the top of the wall.
In order to prevent the roof from blowing away in strong winds, Wen Xian also placed several large stones to weigh down the corners of the roof.
Then, the roof was tied to the wooden stakes nailed to the wall. Give the roof an extra layer of protection and make it stronger.
