Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo
Chapter 23 Simple Shower Room
"Sister, sister, what are you looking at?"
"I'm watching to see when the mushrooms pop out of the soil!"
"Mushrooms? Xiaobao knows! Mushrooms are delicious! Sister, shall we go pick mushrooms when the rain stops?"
"Why are you picking mushrooms? Just stay in the cave. It's so wet outside and you only have this set of clothes. If they get dirty, you'll be exposed!" Xu Da chased up to teach Xu Xiaobao a lesson. The brat actually disliked his nagging!
"Pfft, Dad, you're really nagging." Xu Ning imitated Xu Xiaobao. Xu Da raised his hand and wanted to give Xu Ning a slap, but when he thought of his daughter's injury, he changed his hand and rubbed his head.
"Daya, you...your hair is really prickly!"
Xu Ning was stunned until Xu Da took his hand back before he reacted, "Dad, didn't I inherit this from you?"
Xu Ning looked at Xu Da's resolute face, then touched his own hair stubble. The thick and black hair roots were exactly the same as those on Xu Da's head.
"Daya, what is heredity?"
"It just grew up with you!"
"Of course not. If you don't grow up with me, who will you grow up with?" Xu Ning looked at him dimly. Why can't she grow up with Zhang? Zhang was beautiful and had smooth hair, but she looked like a tomboy.
Xu Ning had to admit that Xu Da had strong genes.
Xu Ning looked at the hair of the second child of the Xu family. He also grew black and thick hair like Xu Da.
But it’s better this way, it’s not easy to find a partner, hehe.
Hunter Li washed himself thoroughly in the rain and walked into the cave, shaking his hair.
"Xu Da, don't you want to go wash up?"
"Later, I have to keep an eye on the child's skin." Xu Da replied. In fact, he didn't care whether he washed it or not.
"Da Ya!"
"Hey grandma! I'm here!" Hearing the call from Old Lady Xu, Xu Ning ran over in a hurry.
"The water is boiling and the milk is mixed with cold water. It's brought to the corner for you. Go wash quickly." The cave has a relatively hidden corner and the terrain is low, so the water will slide away through the cracks in the rocks and no one needs to deal with it specially.
This place was discovered by Xu Ning during the day. It was similar to the lattice shape inside the big bathhouse in the middle school. It was not so neat, but there was a narrow opening at the top, which was just right for holding the basin!
"Dad, come and help me!" Xu Ning suddenly had a brilliant idea, but the adults thought Xu Ning was taking a bath, so they sent Zhang over.
"Daya, what's wrong with you?" Zhang came over and saw that Xu Ning hadn't taken off her clothes yet. She looked at her but didn't see any injuries. She thought she was scared. "Do you want me to help you wash?"
"No need." Xu Ning was embarrassed, but she still walked out, called Xu Da over and asked him to bring the basin over to hold it, then ran out to find Old Man Xu and asked for a broken woven backpack.
Then find a broken bamboo from the firewood in the cave to serve as a pipe, and the colander-like woven block to serve as a shower head. The two are connected together, the wooden basin is slightly tilted, and the hot water flows along the bamboo to the "shower head", and the water drips down.
"Daya, this can... take a bath?" Xu Da was very surprised and praised Xu Ning: "This method is so clever, Daya, you are worthy of being my daughter! You are so capable!"
"Yes, yes. Dad, you are so awesome. Go out quickly, I want to take a shower!" Xu Ning pushed Xu Da away, picked up a tree branch, put the clean clothes on the side and found a place to hang them, and then started her first shower since coming to the ancient times!
This time, Xu Ning took half an hour to scrub himself clean, and a fistful of mud came off.
Xu Ning also used a piece of soap, which smelled similar to the soapberry on Feng's body, but it was produced by the system and the quality was top-notch.
Xu Ning hummed a song while washing and scrubbing. After putting on clean clothes, he felt several pounds lighter and very comfortable.
Outside, Xu Da had no idea how many times he had walked around the cave. When he saw Xu Ning coming out, he quickly filled the basin with water and pulled Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao, who had taken off half of his clothes just to join in the fun, into the makeshift bathhouse.
"Wow~Wow~Wow~" Xu Xiaobao's baby voice immediately rang out in the cave. Xu Ning moved closer to Old Lady Xu, who immediately pushed Xu Ning aside, "Go aside. There's so much smoke here. Don't come close. It's so hot. If you're free, go and chat with your grandfather!"
Seeing that the rain was not going to stop for a while and that noon was approaching, Old Mrs. Xu started to clean up the pot and cook.
Zhang was sorting yams and wild vegetables and was busy all the time.
Hunter Li had already washed himself. The baby had been coaxed to sleep by him and then woken up again. Now, the baby was full and was drowsy in his arms.
Feng wanted to help, but was sent to Old Lady Xu by Zhang, and then sent to rest by Old Lady Xu.
Old Man Xu started to work with his craft again. Now he was making bamboo stools, small ones, which were called "bamboo stools" here.
The cave is half a meter higher than the ground. Although it is not humid, people will inevitably suffer from back pain if they sit on the ground for a long time.
Moreover, the small stool is easy to carry, so you can take it with you when you continue to escape famine.
Xu Ning took a look and found that he could not help at all. He looked at Feng who was also unable to help.
Well, in the end, the two of them started chatting casually.
Xu Ning took the opportunity to ask her about the Daqing Dynasty. In the end, he only knew that the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty was surnamed Jiang and was from a prominent aristocratic family. He was pushed to that position by the aristocratic families in the chaos. And now the largest aristocratic family in the Daqing Dynasty is still the Jiang family.
As for other clans, some have declined and some have disappeared long ago.
Before Feng got married, her father taught her books on women's rules. She only saw the stories about the Daqing Dynasty by chance in her father's study.
"Daya, why are you interested in these?" Feng was puzzled. Aren't most girls of this age interested in hair ornaments and laces?
At this age, she loved embroidery the most, and later she made all her handkerchiefs and underwear by herself.
"Aunt, we won't be here for long. If we know more now, we can feel more at ease on the road."
Xu Ning also thought about asking the treasure chest to tell her about the current situation of the Daqing Dynasty, but when she thought about deducting her points again, she was not very willing to do so.
"Before parting with my father, he warned me that if I met anyone from the Jiang family on the road, I should stay away from them if possible."
"Because someone is going to rebel?" Xu Ning couldn't help but doubt it. This might be the situation in Yuncheng.
Feng was frightened when she heard those two sensitive words, "Daya, don't easily say it in front of others in the future. It will easily cause trouble, understand?"
"I know." Xu Ning secretly wondered, how much sin had the Jiang family committed to make them so unique that even a scholar knew to stay away from the Jiang family?
Xu Dasan and his son were almost done bathing. During the process, Zhang added water to them several times with a bamboo tube. Old Mrs. Xu had also cooked lunch.
Because there was a fire in the cave, there was a lot less water vapor. Although it was hot and stuffy, it didn't feel suffocating.
Xu Ning hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and his stomach was already feeling empty.
"Milk, give me more. I can eat half a cow!"
