Chapter 138
...
All tribe members are both interested in what Xu Chen does every day, and never interfere with it.
According to Xu Chen's attributes, he never does unnecessary labor.
Because everyone discovered that Xu Chen was actually very lazy.
Unless he is interested in something, he would rather lie in his room and sleep in such a hot day.
It was the period when a large number of berries were ripe recently. Not to mention the variety, they could pick them one after another for more than a month. If you pick more fruit wine, the whole tribe can enjoy it for a long time.
Unfortunately, Xu Chen got a few jars and became lazy and said he was too lazy to go out. Feng and a group of hunters wanted to eat more fruit wine. They took time to pick some of them during the fishing and hunting. But they couldn't take into account both the head and tail. It took a very slow speed to pick wild fruits, and they took a lot of time. After picking them for several days, they only got two jars. And they delayed hunting, which made Mom Ba very unhappy and criticized everyone.
In fact, Moba had long seen that although the fruit wine was delicious, it was not a good thing.
Not only will people become dizzy when they eat too much, but people will also get drunk. Every time a group of men get drunk, they will be full of ugly things and mess up.
Especially the last time the Great Witch and five clan leaders came to visit with hundreds of people, someone got drunk and ran to tease a group of old lazi women, which made her feel very embarrassed.
Therefore, although Moba maintained recognition and restraint for Xu Chen's winemaking, it did not mean that she could tolerate other men not doing their jobs.
In the entire tribe, Xu Chen is the only one who can do his job without doing his job.
Because Xu Chen is the core force of the prosperity and strength of the Ba people, and is a special member who masters core technology. He can tolerate anything he does, and even have to support him with all his strength.
After the blast furnace in the kiln factory was ignited, Xu Chen felt that he could start to be lazy for a while again.
Although he didn't know how long it would take for this furnace of copper to be successfully burned, it would not take less time than burning a kiln of pottery. After all, the melting temperature of copper is higher than the forming temperature of pottery.
The reason why the ancients continued to study and improve bronze ware was that after the copper was added with lead and tin, the melting point would be much lower. Although the melting point of pure copper was much lower than that of iron, it also required a high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees. Without long-term continuous heating, it would be difficult for the earth kiln to reach this temperature.
Therefore, he spent most of his time in the room except when it was cool in the morning and evening. He only spent his time teaching a group of children to learn, but he went to the river to catch fish, shrimps, and swim to cool off.
But when it was the hottest at noon and afternoon, I didn’t dare to go anywhere. I felt that I could be fainted by the strong sun when standing in the water.
However, the yard is closed and the wind can hardly blow in, so it is uncomfortable to stay in the room.
So he missed the coolness of the cave very much.
But the cave has been abandoned for a long time, and it is almost impossible to live there. Even if he wants it, most of the tribe don’t want it. They are used to the clean and tidy big bed room. No one wants to sleep in the cave.
What, you said it’s hot, you are still a savage, what’s wrong with basking in the sun? It’s only when you tanned. Look at you, you have grown white and fat recently, and it’s simply a shame for a savage.
So Xu Chen's various mutters and complaints became jokes from many tribe members.
Even Ye couldn't help laughing at him every time he looked at him with a depressed constipation expression.
Although the little cousin is simple, she is not gentle at all and does not know how to be considerate of others, which makes Xu Chen very depressed.
Although he disdained to take this ridicule to heart, the weather was so hot that he couldn't stand it. He didn't know how the four kiln workers in the kiln factory chopped firewood every day insisted on enduring it.
“Wow wow wow wow wow…”
At the hottest time in the afternoon, Xu Chen was lying in his room and was sweating profusely and just fell asleep in a daze. A baby crying woke him up.
And after one started crying, the other soon started crying, which caused the wolf, big wolf, who was lying at the gate of the yard, tossing and screaming. Then a group of wild ducks in the duck house were frightened and began to clamor.
I had a few dogs, but I couldn't sleep anymore.
Xu Chen sighed and sat up from the bed, went barefoot to the well to fill a cold water, and then went to see two crying little guys.
The well was born in early February and is almost a hundred days old. Because the mother has fish, meat and eggs to replenish, the milk is sufficient, which can basically meet the growth needs, so she doesn't cry much.
The room was born at the end of March. It was very healthy after birth. The mother also had enough milk. She was already full of moons and didn't cry much on weekdays.
But it has been too hot recently. As soon as the sun comes out, the temperature will soon rise to over 30 degrees. Even the room is like a steamer at noon and afternoon, without wind, and it is so hot that it cannot breathe. Xu Chen, as an adult, can't stand these newborn babies.
Sometimes a group of women finally feed them and coax them to sleep, but they will be awakened quickly by heat, and then they will cry loudly and don’t eat them because the milk is so hot that it will be hot, and they will take a mouthful of sweat on their foreheads.
When he saw Xu Chen walking in, Aunt Seventeen, who was hugging the child and feeding her, was a little embarrassed and said apologetically: "Re, Jingga won't tell me, I'll coax her!"
Xu Chen ignored Aunt Seventeen's breasts and exposed her breasts. She glanced at the sweaty little guy. She tried hard to push my mother away with her hands, and continued to cry as if she was scalded.
"It's too hot, he doesn't want to eat milk, so I'll get a basin of water to take a bath for him!"
Seeing the little guy's skin was red and uncomfortable, Xu Chen felt that holding it in his arms and breastfeeding would only backfire. Maybe eating a few more bites would cause heat stroke, so he turned around and went out, quickly went to the well to get two cans of water, and brought it in with a large pottery basin.
The little guy threw it naked into the basin and stopped crying. Instead, he kept slapping and slapping the water splash with his hands and feet, and was very excited.
After comforting the well, Xu Chen went to Aunt Jiu's room not far from next door.
Aunt Jiu was not there, only Ye was inside. At this time, she was walking back and forth gently in the room with a solid little guy in her arms. Although the little guy had just been in the moon and couldn't see clearly, his voice was not as big as he howled.
Just now, he woke up the whole yard with a scream.
"Oh oh oh, Mo Howaga, Mom is going to return, Humming Gaga..."
Ye was like a little adult, holding the room while walking. He was so tired that he was sweating, but the little guy didn't give him any face. He felt like he had a whistle in his mouth, and howled louder and louder.
Seeing Xu Chen walking in with an unhappy look on his face, Ye was also a little ashamed.
Because everyone knows that Xu Chen usually takes naps. Although this habit is very strange, given his special identity and status, everyone still takes good care of his emotions.
"Fang Ga cried and couldn't sleep..." Ye Qing shook Fang gently and explained in a low voice.
"Show me!" Xu Chen reached out to take the room.
The little guy was wearing only a linen bellyband, with his eyes closed, his hands and feet gently squeezing and screaming, and his skin was still red.
The room was just over a month old. Although it was strong, its resistance was still very fragile. He didn't dare to make a basin of cold water and soak it cooled down. Therefore, he hugged it for a while. Not only did the little guy not stop, he cried even harder.
Could it be that the little guy is uncomfortable?
Xu Chen felt a little strange, and at the same time he felt as uncomfortable as holding a stove, so he put the little guy on the bed, unbuttoned his bellyband, looked back and forth, but didn't find anything wrong. He gently fanned the air with a piece of animal skin for a while, and found that he was crying and still unconsciously grabbed his head with his little hands. So he looked carefully and found that a big bag was actually on his head, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
Ye Ye saw it and felt distressed that he quickly scratched it with his hands a few times. The little guy immediately cried much less.
"Don't grab it hard!" Xu Chen blocked Ye's hand.
Children's skin is tender, and it is very likely to become inflamed if scratched.
If such a hot day causes ulceration, it will definitely be gone.
"Itchy!" Ye explained in a low voice.
"You can't even scratch itch, look at him!"
Xu Chen turned around and went out, ran outside the yard in the strong afternoon sun, searched for a round, grabbed a handful of mugwort, mint, hot waterweed and half-colored lotus back.
When inspecting in the wild, the most common situation is mosquito bites, so Xu Chen also knows that several herbs can deworm and relieve itching.
However, after traveling through time, most plants are different from the past, and the several types I know are not complete at present.
Half-length lotus and hotpot grass both grow in relatively humid ditches or at the foot of the mountain. The current climate is very suitable for growth. The valley is everywhere. I used a lot of it to treat snake venom for Gu Heju last time. These two types of weeds have the effects of removing poison and reducing swelling and relieving pain, and of course itchy.
In terms of relieving itching, spicy Polygonum grass is better than half-biancao, because this grass has a spicy taste, which will stimulate the nerves and achieve the anti-itnumbing effect of using poison to fight poison.
Given the characteristics of spicy Polygonum grass, Xu Chen often used it to make fish in ditches after he was a child. He smashed it with a stone and threw it into the water. After stirring it for a while, the fish were so spicy that it could not stand it and floated to the water to breathe, and it was accurate to grab it.
The best effect of herbs in relieving itching is the seven leaves and one branch of flowers. There are actually some on the mountain, which is similar to Chonglou, but they all grow up the mountainside. Suddenly he couldn't get it. He was in a hurry and couldn't take care of it.
Mugwort does not relieve itching, but the smell can repel mosquitoes.
Mint is cool and is also a relatively good anti-itchi medicinal herb.
Xu Chen put several herbs in a pottery bowl and carefully mashed them with a wooden pestle back to Aunt Jiu's room. He found that Mother Ba and two older women were also coming to visit him, and was criticizing Ye Wu for looking forward to the child.
Ye lowered his head and looked aggrieved, pouting and not speaking.
Xu Chen did not defend Ye, so he quickly made some juice and applied it to the top of the room. Then the little guy's crying slowly calmed down a lot. Maybe it was because he was too tired after crying just now, and several women fell asleep after coaxing her for a while.
"Huh~"
Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and shook his forehead full of sweat.
Damn, finally calmed down.
Chapter completed!
