Jing Qi was still worried about things in the mining area.

But no matter how worried he was about this matter, he could only do nothing.

The weather is too cold and the accommodation conditions are too shabby.

It can light a fire, but it cannot be too big. The heat in the house is limited.

There was not enough food and heating measures, so I often woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, and then got sick.

As the number of people increases, the impact becomes more and more severe.

Jing Qi was upset when he suddenly heard a noise outside.

"Everyone is so idle and musty!" Jing Qi couldn't help but feel a little angry, and immediately stood up and walked outside the house.

I saw a group of people twisting a small little guy away, and there seemed to be some blood on his face?

"What happened?" Jing Qi asked with a serious expression.

"Master, this naughty boy wants to kill us."

"It's just that he doesn't care if he wants to die. He still wants to drag us together to support him. Why are you begging for help?"

"Huh?" Jing Qi frowned and couldn't help but look at the kid.

"I didn't...I really didn't..." The kid looked at Jing Qi with aggrieved face.

'Snapped……'

A heavy slap hit the kid on the back of the head, making a dull and crisp sound.

"You dare to say it's not there? How old is that house? Can it stand up to your troubles? I think you just want to collapse the house and bury it for me. You don't even have to dig a hole. You are such a bastard.

My conscience is broken, bah, shameless..."

"I really don't have one..." The kid shouted that he was wronged with tears on his face. Why can't anyone understand my good intentions?

"Okay, let's go back first!" Jing Qi looked at everyone, then at the kid, and said, "Follow me!"

Seeing that the boss had said this, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they would not dare to make a mistake here.

They could only watch the kid enter the principal's house, and then reluctantly go back to their own house.

Even though it's a little broken and air leaks everywhere, it's still better than standing outside.

"Tell me, what have you done to arouse public outrage?" Jing Qi stood next to the fire and asked, looking at the kid standing at the door who dared not move.

"Master, I just feel that the house is leaking everywhere, and I want to repair it. They insist that I want to harm them, and... they beat me..." The more the kid thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

Jing Qi couldn't help but smile. As for the injury on the kid's face, he knew it was a beating without him having to say anything.

Even the blood is fresh.

"How do you want to repair the house?" Jing Qi still grasped the key point, and this may be the point of conflict between the two parties.

"Just put the Marauder's Mud on the wall so that the wind can't get in. Once it's done, the fire inside the house can be a little bigger," the kid said honestly.

"Then do you know that if so much mud is applied, the house may collapse?" Jing Qi was speechless.

"No! Absolutely not!" The kid shook his head like a rattle.

If it were just a figment of imagination, he would indeed not have such confidence.

But this method is not imagined out of thin air.

"I used this method when I was in the north. I also used this method when I took me hunting in the mountains in the winter a few years ago. I said that he built the hut five years ago, and I followed him inside.

The outside was covered with a layer of paint so that the wind could not penetrate at all, and the fire I lit in the hut was very close to the roof and did not catch fire..." The little ghost told his story in a sputtering voice.

"Is it really possible?" Jing Qi was a little confused.

"It can be done..." The kid nodded repeatedly.

Jing Qi thought for a while and then said: "Then you do it in my house first and see what the effect is!"

Without personal experience, how can you know whether it works or not?

If this method is really feasible, doesn't it mean that he has solved the problem of staying indoors?

As long as he can maintain the temperature in the house and prevent more people from getting sick, for him, this is a credit.

As for production, no one can do anything about it.

Even if the emperor blamed it, he still couldn't do anything.

In this kind of horrible weather, it is difficult for anyone to survive, let alone go to work.

Next, Jing Qi called a few people to come over to help, the little ghost transformed into Master Mu.

Under Jing Qi's order, several people had no choice but to help out with resentment.

Get soil, boil water, mash it, and live well.

Then put it into buckets. Because the temperature is too low, you can't put too much mud in each time.

Otherwise, the kid hasn't finished his work over there, and it's frozen over here, so how can we still play?

The kid played with the mud skillfully and spread it bit by bit on the grass wall.

It doesn't matter whether it's beautiful or not, as long as it's practical.

Soon, a large piece of mud wall was completed. It was so wet that people would feel a chill coming when they were standing next to it.

You can even see that the water in the mud has been frozen into ice and is shining brightly.

After working for most of the day, the kid checked it again, especially the location of the roof.

Then people gradually increased the fire, but just adding more fire was not enough, and several piles of fire were set out in other places.

Soon, the temperature in the room rose.

The water that was frozen into ice on the wall began to melt gradually, although the speed was very slow.

"It seems like you really didn't feel the wind coming in?" Jing Qi looked at the kid in surprise.

He watched the whole process. The mud layer was applied very thinly, and it was basically hung on the grass wall.

Although it is still very cold in the room, this kind of coldness is different from that kind of coldness.

In the previous house, I could always feel the wind coming from nowhere. If I stayed still in one position, I would soon be frozen.

"Chief, just wait until the wall is dry. I'm going to apply a layer outside now. There is snow on the roof, so I can't do it. Otherwise, the effect will be better. And the weather is not very good now. It should be

Do it when the sun is shining. It’s best to let it dry by itself. There will still be some cracks when it dries. Just wipe it with mud when the time comes.” Finally, a smile appeared on the kid’s face again, and with it

The injuries on his face suddenly made people feel an inexplicable feeling of distress when they looked at them.

Jing Qi nodded and did not refuse.

Plastering mud is not a technical job. If it does require skills, just don't apply it too thickly, for fear that these grass walls will not be able to hold up.

There is no need to plaster the roof outside, so the amount of work is not too large.

This time, even Jing Qi himself took part in the battle. Several people worked together, and it only took less than a quarter of an hour to finish the painting of the exterior wall.

After finishing their work, a group of people entered the house again and washed their hands in hot water.

Although it's still the same cold, it really feels different.

It seems a little warmer than before?

"Chief, it would be better if the outside wall was dry, but we don't have that condition now." The kid still said with a smile on his face. It seemed that his speech was a little wider, which involved the wound on his mouth, and his expression was in pain.

twitch.

"What should we do with the roof?" Jing Qi asked curiously.

"The roof is actually not difficult. It's still the same. First, apply a layer on the inside, mainly to prevent fire from igniting them. Then the grass on top does not need to be spread too thick. Apply another layer on the grass, and then spread a layer of large leaves.

Spread grass on top of the big leaves, apply another layer, then spread the big leaves again, and finally start spreading more grass."

In fact, every time the thickness increases, the current roof is not thin, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the impact of rain.

The role of mud in this is actually equivalent to the role of a wind isolation wall.

In other words, what I created is actually a simple version of the thermal insulation wall.

The outer and inner mud layers can block the direct penetration of wind, even if there are some gaps, it doesn't matter.

After the outer mud wall is isolated, the middle grass wall will isolate the incoming cold air for a new round, and finally the inner mud wall will perform the final isolation.

After three processes, it is difficult for cold air to come in directly, and by the same token, the heat in the house will be reflected back after hitting the mud wall.

Even if it absorbs a certain amount of heat, the heat it absorbs is far less than the heat absorbed by the grass wall.

This night, Jing Qi was still woken up by the cold.

But the feeling is different from before. The fire in the house is also stronger and the temperature is much higher than yesterday. The main reason is that it is too cold outside.

On the third day, Jing Qi finally had a peaceful sleep.

He didn't wake up that night.

The mud walls in the house have all been dried. It only takes half a day to apply a thin layer in the summer.

But now, it took three full days.

Jing Qi walked outside the house to experience it, and was instantly shivering from the cold, and his neck tightened up tightly.

I went back inside to feel it, and I felt that the temperature inside and outside had differed by at least a season.

Just like the temperature difference between cold winter and late autumn and winter.

"Good! Great good!" Jing Qi stood outside the house and suddenly laughed.

In the past two days, the number of people suffering from cold in the camp has increased again, reaching as many as a thousand.

There are more than 200 people with fever. Although the imperial court has prepared a lot of medicinal materials in advance, the inventory is still declining rapidly. If this continues, there may be no inventory in another ten days and a half.

"Come here, let the whole battalion follow this!" Jing Qi ordered excitedly.
Chapter completed!
