The tiger's IQ is not very high, equivalent to that of a two- or three-year-old human child. But it has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm. Every time Yang Gan throws away the internal organs and animal heads, these things naturally give the tiger an advantage.
Even when Yang Qian and Qing Qing were about to leave, the golden bird squatted on the ground and watched them leave with a little reluctance. Obviously... the orcs will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter.
With all the prey, including the Yang Gan and the Dragon Slaying Knife, the weight of the entire sled has already exceeded one ton. But Qingqing didn't feel tired at all while pulling the sled, which made Yang Gan feel ashamed. Walking in such a cold environment was a huge drain on his physical strength.
Not to mention thousands of people, pulling more than a ton of sled. This woman was too strong. What shocked Yang Qian was that through comparison of known data, not to mention himself, even Long Daoyuan might not be her opponent.
Of course, as the same saying goes, if we really want to compare the pros and cons, we can only do it through actual combat. Because she was eager to go home and had many things to deal with, Qingqing almost kept stopping. Even at noon, she took out the meat buns and started eating them without stopping.
Unfortunately, they only had half a day and could not return to the cabin. The two of them once again slept in the open for one night and did not return home until noon the next day.
Arriving at the wooden house, Yang Gan quickly rushed into the house on crutches, lit the stove and threw two briquettes, his whole body trembling.
It's not that Yang Gan is afraid of the cold, Qingqing is stronger than a sled dog. Sitting on the sled, Yang Gan was almost blown away.
Compared to Yang Gan's frozen ghost state. After Qingqing drank some water, she started to get busy. All the divided meat was hung on the beams. Now that there was a shortage of food, no one knew whether it would be taken away by other animals.
I took two or three stone pots and started to boil water. With the help of hot water, the meat of snowshoe rabbit and sika deer quickly softened and was completely processed.
Rock salt needs to be crushed, filtered, and separated from coarse salt. She has done this countless times and is very familiar with it.
But when Yang Qian saw it, he added a few more steps. After all, coarse salt is very bitter and contains some toxic substances.
It must be purified, filtered, etc. The ready-made charcoal can be put to use just right. While Qing Qing's busy feet were busy, Yang Gan took a bundle of wood and started processing it beside the stove.
First make a standard wooden board, and then use this template as a template to process these pieces of wood into the same size.
Two grooves were cut into one side of the board and two protrusions were carved into the other side. Smear animal fat on the sides of the wooden boards, then join them two by two, and use a slight arc. In a short time, a hollow wooden barrel is made.
He took the stone and started carving it with a dragon-slaying knife to make a disk, and then embedded the disk firmly into the bottom of the barrel.
Then use a large piece of wood to make two discs, and then use a dagger to make holes in them. The first disc is wrapped in deerskin and firmly stuffed into the stone disc. Press it firmly, and then add another one. disc.
I got two hemp ropes and wrapped them tightly around the outside of the barrel a few times, so that they would be waterproof.
He asked the busy Qingqing to find four or five stones, then took the dragon-slaying knife and started carving with difficulty.
For stones with relatively high hardness, the dragon-slaying knife is almost like cutting tofu, and a dozen stone bricks are ready in no time.
Yang Qian didn't have much time to polish, so he scraped the bricks as flat as possible, scratched his body, and began to build a large circular stove.
Fortunately, there was a lot of soil to make the stove. I added some water and started to make a round stove, which was only twenty or thirty centimeters high.
A short flue was also made using simple materials to intervene in the main flue. For a whole afternoon, Yang Qian could hardly open his eyes. He was so tired that his whole body ached.
Qingqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked in with a large plate of meat. Yang Gan didn't say anything, he just picked it up and ate it. This feeling of hunger made people very unhappy and helpless.
Hungry returned to hunger, cold returned to cold, Yang Qian now had both of them, and his mind was filled with how to recover his body.
I don’t think about how to get out at all. It’s very difficult to even survive. What a shame. When the basic life can be guaranteed, it will not be too late to consider it again, because I have already put the entire Yuntong structure on track.
Everyone performs their duties, and there is supervision by the generals and their own people. There will be no problem in a short time. Yang Qian really doesn't believe that a mere valley can trap him.
Looking at the rough wooden barrel in the corner, Qingqing said.
"Are you going to take a bath?" Yang Qian scratched his head and ears while eating.
"It's been almost a month since I took a shower. I feel uncomfortable all over, and the smell on my body is also very bad." Qingqing nodded decisively and agreed.
"Yes, it's just that the only thing we use to boil water now is a stone pot. We use the stone pot to add water. It's probably that the front one has become cold even after adding water a few times." Yang Gan looked at the rough wooden barrel, his eyes forming crescents. , Hehehe smiled.
"This wooden barrel is different from ordinary wooden barrels. You need to light the fire in the new stove first." Qingqing nodded, lit the firewood, and then placed a stone on top, and then the wood smoke was discharged from the flue. .
Next, under the command of Yang Gan, Qingqing walked back and forth many times before filling the barrel with water. At this time, the flames in the new stove burned fiercely, and the clay had already been baked solidly and closely connected with the stone bricks. .
Gently putting the barrel up, Qingqing looked at the barrel with a pained face. She was very worried whether the barrel would catch fire later.
The flames thrown into the briquettes were very fierce, burning the round stones crazily. The wooden frame on the outside was just outside, and the flames could only burn the stone discs, and with the good confined space, Even stones with very poor conductivity began to heat up.
In just half an hour, the barrel began to bubble. Yang Qian let out a long sigh. The conductivity of this stone was really low.
If you use such a strong fire to boil water and use an iron pot, it will probably boil in less than half an hour.
As the water surface continued to churn, Yang Qian began to scratch his body. The more he felt at this time, the more oily his hands and face became. Have you ever tried to wash your hands only once a day?
How dirty does this have to be? Yang Qian was in such a state when it came to this matter. He was itching all over. It had to be said that the timing was not right.
I had been suffocating for half a month, and finally woke up, only to find that it was already winter. I really couldn’t get into the water at that time. It might be better if it was summer. Although I would sweat a lot, it would be easy to get into the water to take a bath. .
But~~~~Summer also has summer troubles. Just the mosquitoes alone make Yang Gan feel like he can't live anymore, at least there are no mosquitoes now.
When he came to the wooden barrel, he dipped his hand in the water and immediately shrank back as if he was electrocuted.
"Hey, you're in trouble!" Yang Qian waved his arms with pain on his face and said to Qingqing.
"Take the briquettes down to the stove next to it." Seeing so much water heating up, Qingqing's eyes shone with light. There was so much hot water all at once, it would be very convenient for handling prey in the future.
God knows how much effort she spent on a hare and a sika deer? It was frozen harder than stone. After finally processing it, nearly a ton of food had to be hung from the beams. When it was put, it was divided with a dragon-slaying knife. A lot of the meat was stuck together.
There is nothing wrong with hanging something weighing more than ten kilograms on a wooden board on the eaves, but if you hang dozens of kilograms of meat like this, the house will collapse sooner or later.
"When can I take a bath~~~!" Qingqing couldn't help it. Her lips were so shiny that people couldn't help but want to taste it. That was because her mouth was full of oil after eating and there was nothing to wipe it with. Just wipe it back and forth with your arms randomly.
Yang Gan shrugged.
"We have to wait, it's too hot now, I guess it will be cooked when I go down." Qingqing pursed her lips and chuckled, this person is always so funny when he talks.
"Okay!" Boiling water is very slow, and heat dissipation is even slower. If it is outside, it will be very fast, but in an environment above 25 degrees inside, it will take a lot of time to cool down, so I have not thought of throwing in some ice. It's just that the water is a little full now, so I'm afraid it will overflow if I throw in more ice and snow.
Qingqing rarely showed a look of longing
"How about adding some snow? It's too slow." Yang Gan shook his head.
"No, if you add snow, it will be full. It's hard to take a shower. Be patient." Qingqing nodded in agreement. She was very quick when doing things. In fact, Qingqing is a relatively quiet woman, even if she is eating The speed of things is very fast, and the speed of doing things is very fast, but if you look over it, you will find that this woman's movements are very elegant, and she even feels like she is merging with nature.
It seems like this is what it should be done. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, lit one, and smoked hard. Yang Qian probably only smoked when he was anxious or impatient.
The importance of metal cigarette boxes has only become more prominent now. It is waterproof and can prevent the cigarettes from getting wet. Although it is a full box, Yang Gan usually does not dare to smoke. He is afraid that when he finishes smoking, his spiritual food will be exhausted in the future. It's time to finish.
Qingqing loosened her nose, but did not show any expression of disgust. On the contrary, she said curiously
"Are these leaves drawn by some old people? But I have never seen such a beautiful one." Yang Gan was stunned, but he didn't expect that she also knew about it, so he nodded and said
"That's right, tobacco leaves. This is made at home. It tastes very good." Looking at the appearance of a standard cigarette, except that the whole cigarette is white and yellow, it is not much different from the previous life.
If there is a difference, it is lighter, without nicotine or tar, and I always feel like it is not addictive.
Qingqing stretched out her hand, twirled her fingers, and showed a sensible expression. Yang Qian twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, gave her a cigarette, and stretched it in the stove. He was not very skilled at it at first. As the smoke entered his lungs, Qingqing became familiar with it instantly, like a seasoned smoker who hadn't smoked for a long time. Like a gun.
"Have you ever smoked before?"
