Chapter 379 Burning charcoal to keep warm and destroying the whole family (2, for the AT leader 8/10)
After doing these things in full view of everyone, Han Cheng stepped out and closed the door.
Use leather to seal the gaps in the door.
The doors of the Qingque tribe are made of tree strips. When the weather is cold, they will be covered with animal skins so that the wind cannot penetrate.
After Han Cheng came out, he didn't do anything else. Instead, he took a pottery cup and filled it with a cup of hot tea while warming his hands and drinking it.
Compared to other people's whispers and speculations, Han Cheng did not have any fluctuations in what happened in the room.
As long as they are locked up long enough, the two chickens and rabbits placed inside, used as mice, will have no consequences other than death.
After drinking four cups of hot tea in a row, Han Cheng, who was feeling hot all over and sweating slightly on his forehead, handed the empty teapot to Bai Xuemei who was standing aside, and then opened the tightly closed teapot under the gaze of everyone in the tribe.
The door is open.
A few pieces of leather stuffed in the cracks of the door fell to the ground as the wooden door opened. At the same time, the pungent smell of charcoal filled the air.
Through the open doorway, you can see that not far from the door, the coals placed in the earthen basin have been completely extinguished.
The two chickens and rabbits with their legs tied were lying on the ground motionless, unlike when they were put in before, they bounced from time to time.
Seeing this scene from a distance, everyone was surprised.
Anyone who could see clearly or couldn't believe it was about to go into the room to take a closer look, but was stopped by Han Cheng.
After removing the covering on the window and ventilating for a while, Han Cheng let people in.
The two chickens and the rabbit were both dead, but surprisingly, there were no wounds on their bodies!
It’s not like they died of illness. The two animals used for the experiment were both hand-picked by Wu. Before they were put into the room, they were both lively and healthy. It was impossible for them to survive in such a short period of time.
Both fell ill and died.
"Son of God...this..."
Wu held up the chickens and rabbits that were being passed around among the crowd, looking a little puzzled and more surprised as he asked Han Cheng.
The rest of the people also stared at their son of God with their eyes wide open, looking a little scared and uneasy.
Especially those who often cook and deal with fire, look at the two silent chickens and rabbits, their faces are pale and their bodies are trembling slightly.
Someone already wanted to go back and take out the firewood under the kang in the room and put it out. From now on, the kang would never be burned again.
Compared with a small life, a little cold is nothing.
This package of strong ingredients is a bit too strong and seems a bit overkill.
Han Cheng looked at everyone's reactions and sniffed as he thought this.
However, it is still good to make everyone deeply aware of the dangers of fire and not to take it lightly.
At that moment, he cleared his throat and began to think about explaining the reasons in a way that primitive people could understand.
The sky darkened, and the silver moon shed its light on the white snow, making the night extraordinarily bright.
It was already a moment of complete silence. In the past, the people of the Qingque tribe would have fallen asleep long ago. However, tonight, people got up from the kang from time to time to see if there was any gap in the front window.
Although Shenzi has made it clear that this is a kind of fire, and as long as a certain amount of space is left for ventilation, many people still have trouble sleeping.
I'm worried that if I fall asleep, I will be like the two chickens and rabbits, never waking up again.
After this situation lasted for a long time, everyone in the Qingque tribe finally slowly let go of their worries when they saw that no such terrible situation had happened.
However, when it comes to fire, no one dares to take it lightly anymore. No matter how cold the weather is, some gaps will be left in the doors and windows.
Through that impressive experiment, they learned that it was not only the ferocious fire that could kill people, but also these seemingly docile fires...
The experiment was very successful. After personally witnessing the tremendous power of charcoal in a closed room, no one mentioned the bathing method that could kill people.
Wu was also frightened. If the Son of God were not wise and knowledgeable, the consequences would be... He did not dare to think about it any further.
The result of this is that people who have experienced the horror of fire are not only more alert to Mars, but also agree with the Son of God's proposal to build a special bathing place.
After the location for the bathhouse was selected, the snow in that area was shoveled away.
The winter here is relatively cold, and the soil under the snow layer is somewhat frozen.
But this does not trouble the people of the Qingque tribe. They have experience in building things in winter.
Piles of fires were lit on the painted foundation. After it was soft, someone started digging with stone hoe and bone shovel.
Compared with other seasons, although it is more troublesome, the progress is not too slow.
And because of the method of using animal fat to smear it, their hands and faces will basically not be cracked by the cold when working in this season.
After digging the foundation, the next thing you need to do is start filling it with stones.
It was at this time that I encountered a problem.
A problem that makes everyone in the Qingque tribe find it difficult.
The problem is the stone.
Of course not mining stone.
The people of the Qingque tribe have already mastered the matter of mining stones. They are not perfect, but they are not novices either.
What really embarrasses them is the transportation of stones.
This was only discovered when the stones were quarried and transported to the tribe after the foundation was excavated.
The people of the Qingque tribe have often done this in transporting stones to the tribe, but this was the first time they did so in winter.
Although it only snowed once, it didn't melt much after it fell. It was not easy to walk on such snow with bare hands, let alone carry heavy stones.
After a whole morning of trying to move it, the construction of the bathhouse, which had just begun, was temporarily suspended.
It is too difficult to move stones in this way, and the speed is too slow.
"Son of God, shovel the snow away first, and then move it..."
Shang rubbed his hands and gave a solution.
It was indeed a good idea to shovel the snow off the road and then transport it, but after thinking about it, Han Cheng still didn't agree.
Building a bathhouse this time is different from building a house in the past. In the past, only the foundation and the height of one meter above the foundation were made of stones. The higher parts were all made of soil.
The bathhouse is not suitable. This is a place where water is often exposed. Using earth barriers will greatly shorten its service life.
So Han Cheng's idea was to build them all with stones, and use plant ash to seal the areas where they were built.
In this way, the required stones will definitely be indispensable.
