Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 210

Jiang Xiubai swallowed the pills in his mouth with difficulty and frowned in bitterness: "I have already taken the pills, and I still need to drink Chinese medicine? Will it conflict with each other?"

"No." Jiang Xiumian sat down and stretched. He was exhausted today. He poured himself a bowl of water and said, "How could the medicines your aunt prescribed conflict with each other? Pills are for emergency use. You can think of them as enhanced stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, but decoctions are more effective. The combined effect of the two doubles the effect. With your stomach... I'm afraid taking some pills won't work. Do you really not want to vomit?"

Even with so many clothes on, you can still see the outline of Jiang Xiu's white belly, as if she is pregnant.

"I don't want to!" Jiang Xiubai sat down with a big move, stretched out his hand to touch his stomach from top to bottom, and patted it for the sake of death: "Ugh - Damn, I feel something! I want to vomit!"

"Fool, you dare to hit your stomach so hard when you are so full!" Jiang Xiumian was really impressed by him: "If you want to vomit, just vomit. Don't get too full."

"It's okay, I won't move, I'll just lie down for a while." Jiang Xiubai didn't feel full, just a little full: "What do you want to eat?"

"I'll make some noodles." Jiang Xiumian took out a bucket of Dashidai braised beef noodles from the space: "It takes time to boil the medicine. Do you want to take another digestion pill?"

"No need!" Jiang Xiubai refused: "It's so bitter, if you don't want to vomit later, just eat it and vomit."

Jiang Xiumian was a little worried: "Are you sure you can still drink the medicine soup?"

"Yes, don't worry, I really don't feel full."

Jiang Xiumian just ignored him.

The weather was cold, and the boiled water would get cold soon, so they had a stove in the house, which was used for both heating and warming water. The kettle was placed next to the stove to keep it warm. Jiang Xiumian put it on and boiled it, then quickly made instant noodles, and then added braised beef, chicken feet, aseptic soft-boiled eggs, and the soul of instant noodles - the king of kings.

"Slurp..." Jiang Xiumian blew on it and quickly took a mouthful of noodles. He was really hungry.

The unique aroma of instant noodles tried hard to get into Jiang Xiubai's nose: "Give me a bite!"

"No!" Jiang Xiumian shook his head vaguely, fearing that he would be stuffed to death.

“Tsk!” Jiang Xiubai pursed his lips, but didn’t argue. He knew he had eaten too much, but it was strange that if he didn’t press on his stomach, he really didn’t feel that full. He watched Jiang Xiumian take a bite of beef and a bite of noodles, a bite of boneless chicken feet and a bite of noodles, and then took a bite of half a soft-boiled egg, with the soft egg hanging on the egg white, and bit off half of the ham sausage in one bite...

Jiang Xiubai's tears finally flowed from the corners of his mouth. It smelled so good. He hadn't eaten instant noodles for a long time.

Instant noodles really have a special charm. You may not feel it is very delicious when you eat it, but you will be craving for it if you haven’t eaten it for a long time. Especially when you see others eating it, you will be so craving for it just by smelling the aroma!

Hiss——

Jiang Xiumian glanced at Jiang Xiubai, ate the last bite of instant noodles, and went out with the bowl to pour the noodle soup.

Jiang Xiubai really wanted to ask him for some noodle soup, but he knew that his brother Mian would not agree. Brother Mian had said before that the noodle soup was too salty and the sodium content exceeded the standard. Eating too much would affect the body's osmotic pressure and it was necessary to constantly replenish water. Therefore, he never drank the soup when eating instant noodles, and did not allow Jiang Xiaomi to drink it.

Jiang Xiumian found a corner to pour out the noodle soup, took back the instant noodle bowl, put it in the stove to cook, and seeing Jiang Xiubai's starving face, he reached out and touched his forehead: "It's okay, why do you look so exhausted? Did the electricity kill you?"

"You're useless!" Jiang Xiubai slapped Jiang Xiumian's hand away: "I haven't married yet!"

"Looking forward to your daughter-in-law." Jiang Xiumian lay down on another bed that was only 1.2 meters tall, and looked at Jiang Xiubai sideways: "Tell me, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want to marry? A well-educated and well-mannered lady, or a heroic and brave daughter of a general? Or a gentle and considerate girl from a small family?"

Jiang Xiubai held his chin up and smiled frivolously: "Hehe, everything is fine!"

"Young man, you are quite greedy!"

"Greedy? I just said out the dirty tricks that all men have buried deep in their hearts."

"Why is this so contradictory?"

"How is that contradictory? Not at all." Jiang Xiubai smiled foolishly, and suddenly realized: "No, that's not right. Polygamy was practiced in ancient times. I'm a man, so I can have concubines. Can't I have both?"

"..." Jiang Xiumian gave him a thumbs up speechlessly: "What a malpractice."

"Brother Mian, how many do you plan to marry?" Jiang Xiubai asked excitedly, his eyes shining like a 200-watt light bulb.

However, Jiang Xiumian's answer disappointed him in the end: "One."

"Wow, you are so loyal!

"Heh." Jiang Xiumian rolled his eyes: "If I don't marry one, my mother will tear me apart. If I marry another, my mother will tear me apart even more."

He had been in love twice in his previous life, both of which ended in failure. Now he is in his thirties and other people’s children of his age are already in elementary school, but he is still a single guy who only knows how to do research.

His mother had some opinions about him at that time, but based on the remaining maternal love, she did not interfere too much with him. But in ancient times, people were not so open-minded. If he said he didn't want to get married, his grandmother would be the first to die in front of him.

The eldest son and grandson, not getting married?

His grandfather would not even have the face to see his ancestors, unless -

He died young.

But it’s too early to say this now, after all, I haven’t met the right person yet.

However, he is still young, not even 18 years old, and at his fragile age, so it is okay to delay it for five or six years.

But since you are going to get married anyway, you have to spend some time looking for someone you like.

You can't just get married for the sake of getting married, or just for the sake of living a life, right?

If marrying someone lowers the quality of your life or restricts your life, then what is the point of getting married?

Is it harmful to others and yourself?

But for someone like Jiang Xiubai who said he wanted to marry several women, he didn't have such a dangerous idea for the time being. He just didn't know if this idea would corrode him after staying in this ancient world for too long!

Hey, his father...will he—

Won't! !

Jiang Xiumian's eyes suddenly became sharp. If his father dared to mess around outside, then he would just stay at home with a broken leg and wait for him and Xiaomi to come and take care of them!

"Brother Mian, I was just kidding. You don't have to look at me so fiercely!" Jiang Xiubai looked at Jiang Xiumian's suddenly ferocious eyes and leaned back: "Having three wives and four concubines is every man's dream, but dreams are just dreams. We still have to return to reality!"

"The reality is that you have to take the medicine." Jiang Xiumian rolled his eyes at him, and the next second Xiao Shun knocked on the door and handed the medicine to Jiang Xiubai: "Master Bai, the medicine soup is just right, you should drink it while it's hot!"

Jiang Xiubai looked at the dark medicine, pinched his nose and drank it all in one gulp, then smacked his lips and savored it: "Hey, it's not very bitter! It's a little sour."

"They are all herbs like hawthorn that are good for digestion and digestion, so they are certainly not that bitter."

Xiao Shun took Jiang Xiubai's bowl and asked Jiang Xiumian, "Master, have you had dinner?"

"We've eaten, you can go down and have a rest." Jiang Xiumian thought about it and realized that Xiaoshun, like the fat chef, attached great importance to having enough food and clothing.

"Yes." Xiaoshun slept in the outer room.

"You should take a rest too." Jiang Xiumian said to Jiang Xiubai, "I still need to go out and check on the kiln fire."

"Okay, go ahead. I'm sleepy!" Jiang Xiubai was yawning while talking. He had just woken up. Jiang Xiu felt uneasy and touched his forehead. He didn't have a fever. "Okay, go to sleep."

As soon as Jiang Xiumian left the house, Jiang Xiubai fell asleep at an abnormally fast speed.

The red bricks were halfway through firing. Jiang Xiumian watched from the fire viewing hole for a long time, observing the color of the flame and listening carefully for any unusual noises in the kiln. Everything was normal at the moment. Jiang Xiumian gave the infrared thermometer to Yao Ju and asked him to pay attention to temperature measurement when on night duty, and how to measure the temperature correctly - after all, the temperature in the kiln was complicated, and the temperatures at the bottom and top of the kiln were different.

"Yes." Yao Ju held the temperature gun in his hand carefully. This thing looked different. If it was broken, he would never be able to pay for it in his lifetime.

During this period of charcoal burning, two teams would be left on the mountain to keep watch at night, but Jiang Xiumian and Jiang Xiubai never stayed overnight. At most, they would go to the small house to rest at noon.

Jiang Xiubai had already learned several Zhougongs. Jiang Xiumian listened to his soft snoring and the occasional roar of wild beasts coming from outside.

I really think nature is magical.

How do these animals survive in the wild with such low temperatures?

Their family always felt that such harsh conditions could kill many things, but no matter whether it was plants, animals or humans, even when everything was lacking, there would always be some things and some people who survived tenaciously and tenaciously.

Even though life was very difficult, they finally managed to survive. Then, when the climate recovered, they slowly recuperated, multiplied and grew, and returned to their former prosperous days.

What they are doing now is to shorten the time for human beings to recuperate, reproduce and grow.

The next day, Jiang Xiumian was awakened by Jiang Xiubai's voice shouting that he was hungry and the "KIKI KAKA" sound of the plastic bag.

"Brother Mian, I'm so hungry! Why am I so hungry?!"

Jiang Xiubai stuffed bread into his mouth and spoke incoherently.

"Slow down! I'm not going to snatch it from you!" Jiang Xiumian took a bottle of milk from the space, inserted the straw and handed it to him.

The milk in the space is kept at a constant temperature, which is perfect for making bread.

"No, have you... lost weight?"

Jiang Xiumian saw Jiang Xiubai's face after he swallowed the bread. He couldn't believe his eyes. They had just seen each other before going to bed. How could he notice that someone had lost weight after not seeing each other for a night? How ridiculously thin must he be?!

"Have you lost weight?" Jiang Xiubai paused while chewing the bread, reached out to touch his face and pinched it: "No, it's all flesh."

Jiang Xiumian didn't say anything.

Jiang Xiubai just lost weight.

He was originally tall and thin. Although he did not have a good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist, he did not look thin. But now, he has dark circles under his eyes and angular features on his face. He looks thin and tired.

It was like having all the energy sucked out by a goblin.

Malaise.

But, I had just slept for a whole night and didn’t even get up to pee in the middle of the night.

How come...

"Eat more if you're hungry." Jiang Xiumian suppressed his anxiety and said, "Eat less bread, be careful of acid reflux, and eat more meat. I'll go check on the brick kiln."

Although Jiang Xiumian went out, he did not go to the scene immediately. Instead, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down in detail what happened last night when Jiang Xiubai bought an infrared thermometer and was punished by the system and attacked by brain waves, and put it on the table in the space.

Because the five of them had been divided into two groups to work, and there were no mobile phones in ancient times, if they wanted to contact each other for something, it would be really a waste of time. Later, they came up with a solution: write down the matter on paper.

There was a table in the space, and if there was anything, they would write a note and put it on the table. Every morning when he and Jiang Xiaomi woke up, they would check if there was a note on the table to see if the other party needed help.

Jiang Xiumian waited for a long time, but the note didn't disappear, so he went to the brick kiln.

The brick kiln burned for a whole day and night, and Jiang Xiumian had people remove the firewood. The red bricks needed to cool naturally, which was a long process. Although the weather was cold now, it would still take about two days.

In just these two days, Jiang Xiubai has lost so much weight that he is unrecognizable.

But he ate more and more every day, but became thinner and thinner.

It's only two days!

Even in the late stages of cancer, I don’t dare to be so thin.

However, Jiang Xiubai did not feel unwell at all, he was just too thin, so thin that even he felt something was wrong.

"Brother Mian, am I going to die?"

Jiang Xiubai wiped away tears, hugged Jiang Xiumian's arm and sobbed, "I'm only a teenager, and my two lives combined are barely forty, how can I die! I haven't been in love, I haven't married, I haven't even held a girl's hand! I haven't kissed, I haven't... wow - I'm still a virgin until death, I won't accept it!! "

"Don't talk nonsense. Who said you were going to die? Your aunt will be here soon. Don't say bad things!" Jiang Xiumian couldn't pull him down, so he could only let him hold him: "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry……"

"Then eat something?" Jiang Xiumian took out a bag of beef jerky: "Eat more meat."

"This meat is dry, and I feel my teeth are a bit loose. What if my teeth fall out while chewing?"

Jiang Xiumian: "...Then go find something to eat, I'll be back soon."

When the kiln was opened today, Jiang Xiumian was brought back by Jiang Xiubai's crying. He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to look in the mirror. He originally wanted to see his own handsome face, but he almost got scared to death by the ghost-like self in the mirror.

"Then come back soon!"

Jiang Xiubai, who thought the beef was too dry and hard, was gnawing on duck feet. Maybe it was because of the spiciness, he sniffed.

"noob!"

At this time, Jiang Suying's voice came from outside. Jiang Xiubai rushed out holding the duck feet in his mouth. He thought something was wrong, so he covered his face with a hat and opened the door. When he saw Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Suying, he started crying: "Auntie! Why did you come just now!"
