The place where the refugees were hiding was actually not far away, just behind a small forest three kilometers away. It was precisely because of the cover of this forest that I didn’t find any traces of them at the first time. But having said that, even if I saw them
, and I would probably ignore them, because the place where they were hiding was not an abandoned castle at all, but a small stone ruin. These people used simple and rough materials to process the ruins, and barely transformed it into a shelter that could shelter from the wind and rain.
place.
Baiyanghua was very disappointed with this, not an ordinary disappointment. She thought she could sleep on a decently big bed today, but she ended up having to sleep on the floor. Originally, this girl was going to just turn around and leave, because she didn't want to be with a group of people.
The smelly men huddled together to make the floor. But Orion told us that it was going to rain here, and it was better to have a place to stay than to be in the rain. In desperation, Yanghua could only give up the plan of leaving in a depressed manner.
This ruins may have been a building like a military station before. Although the walls and roofs have collapsed, the stone walls are still there, and the usable area is quite large. This group of refugees used branches and leaves to weed the place.
The roof was put up, and although it was obviously leaking, it was still much better than outside. The only problem was that this place, like other places where Jianmin lived, was dirty and smelly, and it was difficult to even get down, let alone live.
Baiyanghua and I discussed it and decided to let her stay and look after these people, while I carried the small animals to the nearby woods to get materials. We planned to build another room in the empty wall next to it, so that we wouldn’t have to deal with these people.
The refugees are crowded together. To be honest, if we are really forced to live in this environment, we would rather go out in the rain.
You don't need to worry about Yanghua's current fighting ability. What you need to worry about is her mentality. Now she is just like me back then. She still maintains the thoughts of a mortal and is afraid of death. So I feel relieved to let her be the guard, but I don't
Don't worry and leave the little animals to her care. If something unexpected happens, this guy will be in a panic and forget to take care of Yesha.
The work I have to do is very simple. It is nothing more than folding some relatively thick branches and carrying them back, and then finding some small branches and grass to cover them. If I want to enhance the effect, I can paste some mud to make "concrete". But I
We didn’t plan to dig in the mud, because we carried the tent on our backs and could just pitch the tent in a simple house.
If it were me in the past, I would have felt that I was destroying the environment by breaking branches. But in fact, even if I didn't break branches, strong winds and rains would often break branches, and every towering tree would be broken.
I don’t know how many branches it took to grow. Compared with the number of broken branches in nature, what I need is nothing.
When I carried back a large bundle of branches that required a carriage to be pulled, the refugees were all shocked, and they all fell down on the ground and began to worship me. After thinking about it, I realized that my behavior seemed to go beyond the common sense of this world.
But we have a useful identity, and we are also a professional actor! I fooled them and made them believe that this was a blessing given to me by the God of Fire. Baiyanghua was full of admiration for my performance.
, saying that if he had the chance, he would definitely learn acting and pretending to be a ghost with me.
When building the roof, I specifically asked the refugees to watch and learn. Although these "ancient people" were theoretically better at building thatched houses than me, they did not deal with some details. For example, they used small paper to stuff the roof.
There are gaps, or the grass is not thick enough to prevent rain, etc.
The physical work was not difficult for me, and Baiyang Hua could also help me on the side. We quickly completed the roof. The next work was to clean the indoor floor, ignite leaves, dead grass and other combustible materials to smoke the house and remove moisture.
It can repel insects and disinfect at the same time. When the smoke is almost done, I spread out the embers, then spread relatively smooth and straight twigs on the ground, and then spread a layer of clean leaves and grass. This is considered a "tatami mat"
", you can pitch a tent on it. Finally, I use larger branches to block the door and windows to prevent rats and other animals from intruding. In this way, the ruins are transformed into a habitable place.
The refugees were kept in a state of ignorance throughout the whole process. They never thought that these methods could be used to improve the comfort of the place where people live. Of course, this is not because they are stupid, but because there is no need, so no one thinks about it, and naturally there is no
People will figure it out. In fact, the house I built still has many shortcomings, such as no living space, poor thermal insulation, etc. But compared with the pigsty they live in, my place is obviously a luxury suite.
.
Orion expressed high praise for the house I built from a professional perspective. He has more survival skills than these farmers and naturally has more vision. Since he said nice things, I will allow him to live with us.
We can be considered caring for each other. After all, we are considered acquaintances after walking all the way. Anyway, we don’t take off our clothes when sleeping, so we sleep as if we are sleeping in an emergency shelter.
I originally planned to renovate the houses for the refugees, but as soon as I renovated the roof, it started to rain on a gloomy day. There was a trace amount of plague mixed in the rain. Although it will not directly cause illness, it is better to avoid it if you can.
So I asked everyone to go inside and take shelter from the rain.
The rain didn't stop until the evening. During this period, I braved the rain to deliver food to the refugees next door. Of course, it was the all-purpose Quinte cake. They were very curious after seeing the slimy body and timidly asked me about it.
How is it done? It’s obvious that the lower-class civilians here don’t even know how to spread bread, not to mention bread. They just throw the grain directly into the pot and cook it until it becomes mushy. Oh, and speaking of pots, they also have a pot of their own. But they have to bear it with us.
This semi-circular iron pot is completely different. It is basically a clay pot. It was broken and stuck together with mud. I estimate that the iron output in this era was extremely low, and the common people's iron was used to make farm tools.
Such as the most important tools, but the pot has no time to take care of it.
After returning to our own house, I couldn't help but marvel at how advanced Ellie's world was. When I first went there, I thought it was as backward as the Middle Ages, but later I discovered that only some areas were backward, in certain branches of science and technology.
It's more advanced than the earth there, but the social development is uneven. Only when I came to this world did I truly understand what real backwardness is. Ordinary people don't even have a proper cooking pot.
The words "the gift of the God of Fire" are almost universal here. As long as I get food out of the backpack, I can say that this is a backpack blessed by God. The volume inside is more than the volume. Orion said to me
I believed him so much that he kept thanking me while eating, which really annoyed me.
After chatting, I learned that this hunter still had a family in the city, and he was worried that their livelihood would be in question after he disappeared. But there was no way~ When the enemy had no means to test whether the plague had been cured, he stayed there.
It is very likely that the whole family will be burned to death. While I gave him relief, I also hoped that the church could still afford the gruel. I had left a spark of hope in that town, and I hoped that this fire could be ignited and let people
Let people get rid of their imprisonment and go out to the city to farm~
