Chapter 123 (1/2)
Other people can also do primitive human movement to kill time, but ye Xi was bored and could only carve wood carvings in his spare time.
There is no shortage of wood in the stone house. A lot of dry wood is stored in the dry season.
As a result, the coarse firewood was almost poisoned.
The firewood filled in the fire pool was strange in shape, some in the shape of animals, some in the shape of human beings, or rough or delicate. All of them were mixed with sawdust and sent into the fire without pity.
After so many days of non-stop carving, his carving level has improved a lot.
Ye Xi felt that if he went back to his original world, it would not be a problem to set up a stall and sell wood carvings to support his family.
In addition to wood carving, ye Xi also tried to carve witchcraft patterns.
He has seen some sorcery patterns countless times, and the patterns are familiar with his heart for a long time. Unfortunately, without the help of rulers and other tools, they still can't be drawn by hand, let alone carved.
So after dozens of failures, I finally gave up.
After rubbing his frozen hands, ye Xi continued to carve animals.
This ”winter” is really too cold for ordinary people. He estimated that the temperature may be as low as ten degrees below zero or even more than twenty degrees.
Moreover, it is freezing rain outside for three days and two ends. The freezing rain is freezing, and the temperature will drop a little more every time.
Ye Xi was curious about the temperature of the freezing rain and took a few drops with his hand. He found that the taste on his skin was so sour that he did not want to try again.
The fire in the stone house is burning day and night, and dare not extinguish it.
In the center of the fire pool, the ground of a round ground is dry, but the corner of the stone house is covered with frost because of the cold.
Such a cold, let Ye Xi dare not imagine, those who did not reserve enough firewood, how to spend the ”winter”.
Fortunately, this ”winter” passed very quickly. Four weeks later, it began to clear up and there was no ice rain.
The white frost that covered the ground melted overnight.
Although women and children are still afraid to walk out of the stone house, the soldiers have been out of the stone house occasionally.
Because this ”winter” passed so fast, ye Xi called it ”little winter” in his heart.
In this little winter, seven people died in Tushan, including three old people, three female slaves and one child under three years old.
But the death rate chief is very satisfied. It is said that 23 people died in Tushan in the cold wave last year.
Without enough food and firewood, people with a little poor health can't live in winter.
Ye Xi thought in his heart that if there was enough time next year, he could make Kang. With warm Kang and enough dry firewood stored, there may be no death in the small winter next year.
He stood on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the water still covered with thick ice, there is an impulse to make a pair of skates and go skating.
Of course, impulse is impulsive. If it does go down, slide and suddenly break the ice from the ice, a huge water animal will come out, and the ice will be broken, and the fun will be great.
But it's still possible to take some small risks and try.
Ye Xi called several soldiers and asked them to carry a bucket down the mountain with him.
Although the soldiers did not know what ye Xi wanted to do, they would not disobey Ye Xi's meaning, so Yiyan followed him to the foot of the mountain.
However, when ye Xi wanted to go to the ice, he was stopped by many soldiers.
Ye Xi explained: ”I only go to two or three steps away from the shore. There should be no danger.”
Although Tu Shan had never seen a water monster from the ice, which hurt people, but out of fear of water, the soldiers still refused to let Ye Xi go.
