Marry a Wife In the Orc World - Chapter 40

The wind and snow hardly stopped, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and almost everything was frozen. Such bad weather is very unbearable for Cheng Cheng. He basically didn’t dare to leave the stove for too long, so he had to move the bed next to the stove. And this low temperature makes many poorly built houses live in houses, but they are almost too cold. That kind of house is too low and leaks air on all sides. Although the stove is burning all day, the house is so cold that people don’t dare to leave the stove for half a step. But the cold winter is still long, and many people think that there will be major problems if this continues, so people continue to go to the village chief’s house to talk about this problem.

The village head also felt that this year’s weather was too cold. It was the coldest winter in a century. The village head held a simple meeting at home, called a few representative figures in the village, and specially Cheng Cheng and Tru also called over.

Someone said: “The village chief, our house can’t withstand the cold winter. Now we can’t live anymore. Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, what can we do?”

“Yes. We don’t dare to leave the stove, the females and children at home are even more afraid of the cold.”

“The firewood prepared by our family is not enough to burn, what can we do then?”

Everyone, I said, the head of the village frowned. This year is much colder than in previous years. Although everyone has prepared more food and firewood, they can’t stand the current bad weather.

“We should build a house like Cheng Cheng. Now only their home is the warmest. It’s big, tall, and spacious.” said an orc who went to Cheng Cheng with the village head last time to return the fish net to Cheng Cheng. A beautiful house like Cheng Cheng’s is now the most eye-catching in the whole village.

“It’s useless to say these now. I have to wait for the next year.” The village chief interrupted the others who wanted to talk about this topic. He turned to Cheng Cheng and said, “Next year, you will help everyone build a bamboo house.”

Cheng Cheng nodded, but thought in his heart, I still think about how to improve our bamboo house.

“The weather has been getting cold. All the orcs are going to sleep soon, and the task of being on duty is about to end.” An old orc brought up the most important topic at the moment.

“That’s right. In the past two days, I can’t lift the strength all over.” Most of the orcs said.

“Yeah. So do I myself.” The village head nodded.

“No one can be on duty anymore. In such weather, the beast dare not come out.” The village chief comforted everyone.

“However, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of everyone’s housing.”

“And there are no orcs on duty, all the orcs will go into deep sleep, and the whole village is still very dangerous.”

“While we are still moving, can we build a few big bamboo houses first, and gather a few families together to live together, so that we can solve the housing problem and help each other, even if there is an attack by a beast? Resistance.” Someone suggested.

“Impossible. Now the ground is frozen, even if there are materials, it is impossible to build a house. How to plant bamboo on the ground?” Some people objected.

“Yeah. It’s impossible to muddy the wall at this time.” Cheng Cheng also objected, what a joke, how difficult it is to build a house in this cold weather.

“I can’t control that much, the walls don’t need to be muted, anyway, it’s so cold outside, maybe it will freeze soon.” Someone said. As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned. I have to say that this proposal is very good. Although we can’t make the mud and paste the wall, the bamboo house is safer and warmer than the grass shed where everyone currently lives. The weather is so cold, as long as people live in the house, as long as there is heat, a layer of water vapor can quickly form. The water vapor is really likely to freeze through the walls made of grass and bamboo, which is equivalent to having a natural layer. Mud stuck to the ventilated wall. The room is warmer.

Everyone was arguing about the house. The village head suddenly asked, “Cheng Cheng, do you think this method works?” To be honest, the village head himself was anxious to live in a house like Chengcheng. After comparing the bamboo house of the Cheng family with the grass shed that everyone lives in, everyone is looking forward to a good house in their hearts.

“It’s not unfeasible. It’s just that my roof is woven with grass and brown silk. It takes a while to make it up, and there may not be so many materials?” Cheng Cheng agreed now, only the roof can be used. How to make it, how to make the roof in a short time.

“Use animal skins for the roof. Directly stitch together large pieces of animal skins. Anyway, to build such a house, everyone lives together, and everyone has some materials.” The village chief decided. In the end, it was decided to build three more houses in the village, which are still quite large. There are ten households in one family. The rest live in Cheng Cheng’s family, anyway, the whole village has fifty households. In this way, everyone was happy. In order to ensure that the materials were sufficient, the village chief personally took Cheng Cheng to each household to select materials.

After discussing the matter of building a house, Cheng Cheng didn’t go home until late. At this time, the two brothers Afeng and Aju rushed to Cheng’s family with most of their belongings. Their home was the most typical house in the village, and it was really cold to live in it. Cheng Cheng and Tru Lantian accepted them without saying anything. Shi Yan Anmu, two adult orcs and Lan Hua live in a room. All the females are crowded by the fire. At this time, everyone can’t take care of them. What’s the matter, Lantian and Cheng Cheng squeeze together, with Brother Afeng in between, and Tru and his son squeeze on the other side. In this way, there is almost no space left in the kitchen. All of them put on the thickest coats they had just made, including pants and boots, fully armed. But even so, as soon as you go out, you will feel freezing to death, and being outside for three hours is considered the limit.

Cheng Cheng was really afraid that he would get frostbite if he had to build a house in this kind of weather. But they had to go out and direct everyone to do things, and True couldn’t escape either. They were the main force. The village chief gathered the orcs in the whole village together and divided them into three groups, each of which was responsible for building a house. In order to save time and materials, Cheng Cheng designed the new houses one by one this time. There is no distinction between functions. One room can live in several households, as long as it is big enough. Each room has only one door and one window for ventilation. Such a house is just like the employee dormitory built by some original units. It’s just that there is a small door between each room that can lead to each other.

The new house is built not far from Cheng Cheng’s house. It is built here because everyone can go to Cheng Cheng’s house to take a break. There was a large area of ​​vacant land here, but now it has to be cleaned up. The village chief assigned some of it early in the morning. Orcs specialize in this cleanup. A part of the orcs is responsible for transporting all the materials that can be used in the village and stacking them together, and the other part of the youngest and strongest orcs is ready to build a house.

It was too cold to work. Cheng Cheng let people burn a few fires in the open space. In addition to roasting bamboo, they can also roast the ground, and people can also keep warm by the way. The project of rolling the hay into a rope and putting it on the bamboo is very big, so five orcs were specially sent to follow Truu to learn, and some good females also spontaneously helped.

With the first experience of building a house, this time the process has simplified some steps, saved some unnecessary processes, and made the project easier. Rows of thick bamboos were planted on the ground every time, and the bamboos were sharpened, but after a lot of effort, Cheng Cheng’s little axe made great achievements and almost died in battle.

Sewing a huge animal skin roof is also a big job. A few handcrafted females in the village gathered in Cheng’s house, and under the command of the blue sky, they kept waving their needles and threading, hoping to sew the roof quickly. There is a lot of tedious work, and the whole village is constantly busy. Even so, it took five days to build these three rows of big houses.

As the temperature dropped, everyone was no longer able to work outside. The village head first divided all the people in the village into four parts and matched them with each other. In addition to the two families of Afeng and Aju, who had already been to the Cheng’s family, the Cheng’s family was divided into three families with a small population, but most of them were old, weak, sick and handicapped. It’s too cold now, and the new house needs to be constantly improved. They can’t wait. Tru and Batu gave up the room, let the three families live in, gave them a stove in the room, let them live on their own, they also brought a lot of household goods, including food and various daily necessities , But firewood and other things had to be stacked in the backyard first, and the small warehouse had long been filled with things from the Afeng family.

The temperature is still dropping, and some people are beginning to be unable to resist getting sick. Now everyone suddenly remembers that the place where the pharmacist lives has not been arranged. Every room was filled with people, and the village head was so anxious that he had such a big mistake, forgetting the pharmacist, they need special protection.

Qinghua gave the village chief a dissatisfied look, and said, “I’ll go to Cheng Cheng’s house. Send some people to help me move, and the medicinal materials must be transported carefully.” Qinghua has taken aim at Cheng’s family a long time ago, and there is still room. , He didn’t want to huddle with the whole village, he was so annoying. And when you go to Cheng’s house, you can also enjoy some delicacies that others can’t enjoy.

The Cheng family had to welcome Qinghua’s arrival. To be honest, Cheng Cheng quite liked this Qinghua pharmacist. In the eyes of others, the pharmacist was not close to him. Only Cheng Cheng could associate with him like a friend. It’s just that there are so many things from Qinghua, mainly some medicinal materials. Cheng Cheng gave up his room, but it was not enough. Qinghua also said: “Take everything from the meat in your room. I can’t stand the smell, and the medicinal materials are not easy to mix with these things.”

Cheng Cheng and the others had to move all these things to the Blue Sky Room. This was not a small project, because the food brought by the Afeng family was no less than 3,000 catties. Coupled with the food from their own home and Qinghua, the total amount is no less than 7,000 catties, and several people are almost fainted from exhaustion. The blue sky room was originally small, but now it is even more crowded, and there is no place to go.

Cheng Cheng looked at the food in the room and smiled and said to everyone: “Now I don’t worry about what I haven’t eaten. I’m afraid I can’t finish these things. Anyway, the orcs are all asleep.”

“Don’t talk coldly. In such weather, I don’t know when is the head? How can there be food that can’t be eaten? I’m afraid that spring will be delayed for too long and everyone will have to go hungry.” Yao Shi scolded with a smile. He brought a lot of food by himself, and wherever he could eat it, he came to Cheng Cheng’s family at a cheap price.

There is basically no need for Cheng Cheng to be in charge of the new house. Everyone stays at home for the winter with peace of mind. If you need to get things done, you can do it yourself. The pharmacist began to force the blue sky and they sew new coats, pants, boots, quilts, gloves and so on for themselves, anyway, he wants what they have. However, he brought enough animal skins, all of which were whole sheets, and Lantian comfortably left a piece of evidence, of course he sewed it into a big quilt. And the three families living in Tru’s room also learned to sew clothes from everyone. Slowly, all the females in the village came to ask for advice. Cheng Cheng had to stay with Qinghua all day long. He couldn’t bear the constant twittering of those people. This way, he learned a lot of pharmacological knowledge.

The weather is still getting cold. Now let alone females, all the orcs dare not go out. They are also afraid of the cold. Basically they put on thick coats and covered their four feet with animal skins. Although they are in the form of beasts. So Cheng Cheng occasionally went outside the door and saw a big tiger in clothes walking on the snow. This kind of scene is like in winter, pets in colorful clothes can be seen everywhere in the park, which are all slipping. The dog person came out to play with his pet. Although such a scene is ridiculous, Cheng Cheng has no intention of laughing at them. He just hopes that the weather will get warmer soon. If this continues, I’m afraid everyone will freeze to death before the food is finished.

A few days passed, and no big tiger was seen outside, and everyone fell asleep. The whole village suddenly became much quieter, and even the little birds that occasionally flew by were gone. Only the whistling wind and the sound of breaking branches when the wind blew by, the grass sheds where no one lives. Most of them collapsed. Now everyone is fortunate to have rushed to build a new house, or else they still don’t know what to do?

Such a village feels very scary. Usually all the females live under the protection of the orcs. Now they are all asleep, and they are still in deep sleep. They may not be able to wake up until the weather gets warmer. Everyone has to Faced with the situation of protecting oneself. Moreover, life in such a cold weather is extremely inconvenient. Although everyone knows how to sew the warmest clothes and shoes, no one can stay outside for half an hour. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to get a firewood outside and get some snow water, and from time to time Some people have been frostbitten, and now many people in the village have severe frostbite.

The new bamboo houses are full of people. People are all gathered together. The stove in each house has never stopped. Everyone makes clothes around the stove and talks about gossip. Most of the time, everyone is too. Dozing off. The advantage of living together is that it saves materials to the greatest extent, such as firewood. Now a stove is built in a house, and a lot of firewood is saved for cooking. Therefore, people no longer worry about not enough firewood to burn, and there are too many people in the house. It will be warmer. But living together has its disadvantages. Now the weather is cold and people are very easy to get sick. A common disease like the flu is very easy to cause infection. Before Cheng Cheng can think of this problem, many people in the village have already caught a cold. Coughing sounds one after another, some people have fever again, and some people have a lot of snot and tears. Some people have also caused pneumonia, and some have caused diarrhea. In short, there are more and more patients, and more and more types of diseases.

Qinghua takes Cheng Cheng as a helper and keeps treating people. However, the Chinese herbal medicine that Qinghua has developed is not very effective in dealing with this seasonal influenza, and the people are too concentrated, and the speed of infection is extremely fast. of. Almost overnight, all the people in the row of houses that became ill were all sick. This situation made Cheng Cheng very worried, for fear that the disease would spread to the whole village.

“Qinghua, if this goes on, I’m afraid the whole village will get sick.” Cheng Cheng said to Qinghua, who was constantly dispensing the medicine, guarding the stove of the decoction.

“Well, I have already prepared a lot of medicine, I just hope to cure their disease soon.” Qinghua is also very worried.

“Light treatment is not enough. Can you get some medicine to prevent it. You can’t let healthy people get sick.” Cheng Cheng really misses the vaccination now.

“Yes, but I haven’t encountered such a situation before. I can’t find any medicine to prevent it for a while?” Qinghua was even more anxious. I rummaged through all the medicine villages, smelling this, and tasting the other.

“Banlangen, do you have a lot here?” Cheng Cheng asked. Banlangen granules are not prescription drugs in modern times. Many colds or sore throats will be taken in one or two packs. Sometimes people use it as a medicine to prevent colds. And Radix isatidis is very useful and has very few side effects. It can be used for many diseases.

“There are many more. Can this prevent the current disease?” Qing Hua asked. In fact, the prescription he prescribes also contains Radix isatidis.

“Fry some first, let everyone drink for three days, drink a bowl every day, try. Let everyone eat some grapefruit, I don’t know if the effect is good?” Cheng Cheng smiled bitterly. He is not a doctor and dare not guarantee Banlangen and grapefruit can really prevent the current flu. In modern society, flu is also very scary, especially in places like schools where there are many children and the flow of people is concentrated, which is very easy to cause flu outbreaks. In most cases, people will be cured after a few days of hanging injections and some medicine, but some people will have a high fever and even cause other illnesses.

“All right.” Qinghua thought for a while and felt that this method is feasible. Banlangen has the effect of detoxification and clearing away heat. Even if a person who is not sick eats something, it will not have any adverse effects. You can usually eat grapefruit. It will not be harmful. Now there is no good way, it is better to try this method.

Soon the Banlangen was sent to everyone. According to Qinghua’s instructions, everyone drank Banlangen soup and ate some grapefruit. After three days, it really played a role. Fewer people had new colds. After a few more days, some patients gradually recovered. The sorrow that had enveloped the village was finally blown away. Qinghua and Cheng Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they could stop and rest.

“I have been busy these days, and my throat can’t be dry.” Qinghua is a doctor himself, but he can’t stand it.

“Why don’t you get some medicine to take it.” Cheng Cheng suggested to him.

“I have drunk Banlangen, and I don’t want to take medicine anymore.” Qinghua shook his head. He grew up in a small bubble and grew up in a medicine pot. He tasted hundreds of herbs and was very disgusted with drinking medicine.

Lantian is roasting a grapefruit. It’s too cold now. I haven’t eaten fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time. Although there are a lot of grapefruits in the house, he dare not eat it directly because he is afraid of freezing his teeth, so he eats it. At that time, they are cooked first before eating. Anyway, the grapefruit has a thick skin. Even if the outer skin is burned, the flesh inside will not go bad.

“Give me something to eat.” Qinghua’s eyes lit up, and he hurried over.

The blue sky roasted for a while, and the room smelled of grapefruit peel. Cheng Cheng suddenly smiled and said, “Why did I forget, get some honey grapefruit tea for everyone to drink?” Just remember to let everyone eat some grapefruit. Grapefruit peel is also a good thing, and it’s wasted.

“Honey grapefruit tea, is it delicious and what’s the effect?” Lantian asked quickly, his throat felt very dry these days, and the corners of his mouth had some bubbles. He just wanted to eat something cold and moist. Because of staying by the stove for a long time, the roast is too dry, and the human body lacks some moisture.

Cheng Cheng ignored him and picked up some pomelo peels on his own. They threw them in a clay pot and boiled them directly, added a little salt, scrubbed the pomelo peels, and then washed them again with water, and put the cleaned pomelo peels. Boil in clean water. The method of this honey grapefruit tea is very simple. People who are not careful can just boil water and add sugar and some honey. Cheng Cheng always cooks it directly, but there is no sucrose here, so the pomelo peel is just added with a little honey to make the taste, and it is served to everyone. Although it’s a bit bitter, everyone finds it delicious, thirst quenching, and sweet. The honey citron tea in a clay pot was quickly divided among everyone to drink.

“Cook some more.” Lantian said.

“No way. How can I drink it like this every day? Let’s make it later.” Cheng Cheng stopped him. The honey grapefruit tea he made was very flavorful. Drinking too much at once might be counterproductive.

The next day, Lan Lan felt that his throat became more comfortable, and the bubbles at the corners of his mouth disappeared. He happily said, “This thing is really good. Let’s get some more today.”

“Really, I used to cough a bit yesterday, and I don’t cough anymore today.” Afeng said as well.

After all, Qinghua is a pharmacist. After drinking his honey grapefruit tea, he himself felt good. Now that he heard what they said, he had an idea and made a slight improvement. The next day he produced a new variety. Those who had a history of coughing were sent, and soon a few people who had coughed for several days drank this medicine, and they all got better. Qinghua was surprised and delighted. It was amazing that Cheng Cheng could heal the disease with a cup of tea made casually. He looked at Cheng Cheng’s gaze more enthusiastically.

“What are you doing, what’s the matter with you?” Cheng Cheng was frowned upon by his gaze.

“That’s right. Why are you staring at Brother Cheng like you see something delicious?” Lantian joked. Qinghua was actually very greedy, and when he had time, he would give him something delicious to eat with Tru and Cheng Cheng.

“You, I just thought of eating. Cheng Cheng, yesterday I added some medicine to the grapefruit tea you made, and made some new medicine for those people who have suffered from coughing. They all said that the medicine is effective today. Very good, I think you might as well be a pharmacist with me.” Qinghua said very much in anticipation.

“No. I can’t. These things are well-known in my hometown, and they are not only understood by pharmacists. Besides, there are so many herbs, not to mention that I don’t know the properties of the medicine. It is difficult to even recognize them. How to give them to others Healing patients.” Cheng Cheng objected again and again, what a joke, doctors are a very solemn profession, but they don’t dare to treat people casually.

“Yes. Where does Cheng Ge have time to be a pharmacist?” Lantian was anxious.

Although Qinghua lobbied in every possible way, Nai He Chengcheng did not relax at all. Hearing Lantian say that, he immediately pointed the Maotou at him: “What do you mean? What’s wrong with being a pharmacist? I don’t have time yet. You get sick next time. Don’t find me.”

“What? Brother Cheng himself is not willing to be a pharmacist. You say what is the use of me.” Lantian has been listening to them. At this time, he was finally relieved. Somehow he was very upset with Qinghua and Cheng Cheng. Get close, these days Chengcheng has been helping Qinghua suffer from Han disease, and Lantian is already very upset. If Cheng Cheng agreed to be a pharmacist, wouldn’t he spend more time with Qinghua in the future? Now that he heard Cheng Cheng reject Qinghua, he was so happy that he couldn’t hide a smile on his face.

“Why are you laughing?” Qinghua slapped the blue sky and stomped angrily and went back to the room, but he yelled to Cheng Cheng: “As compensation, you have to make me a new dish today. Eat. Otherwise, whoever gets sick next time, don’t want to find me.”

“Huh, what’s so great.” Lantian cuffed his fists behind him.

Cheng Cheng grabbed him, for fear that this guy would really have to work with Qinghua. Sometimes the two of them are like children, acting very naively. A few days ago, I was blushing because of a little thing. It is said that Qinghua rarely has such a childish time. It may be because he has no childhood since he was a child. However, Lan Lan didn’t respect Qinghua like most people did, and instead provoke him from time to time.

Lan Lan hurriedly turned around, just about to say something, when he saw Cheng Cheng, he had to grin, his smile almost flashed Cheng Cheng’s eyes, he couldn’t help but squeezed Lan Lan’s tender face. The two had been fighting for a long time, and the others lowered their heads and laughed. There was a burst of laughter in the room for a while, and the depression and panic over the past few days made everyone laugh like this for a long time. Laughter seemed to be contagious, and everyone couldn’t help having fun. Hearing the laughter of the whole room, Cheng Cheng suddenly felt very happy. In life, if you help each other, many things will be easily solved, many things that are difficult in your own opinion, and others are just easy things. In this way, everyone will be better off. If you help me today and I will help you tomorrow, everyone’s life will be better.
