Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland
Chapter 74: Digging a Canal
Mo Xiaonian raised her hand and patted Fu Cang's shoulder.
"I know life is hard. I'm afraid you have put all your energy into hunting, finding food, and protecting the safety of the tribe. But even so, we must be good at discovering the beauty in life. A cloud, a breeze, are all worth our stopping and feeling. Only in this way can our life be full of flavor, right!"
Fu Cang nodded: "I don't know anything else, I just know that after I met you, life has become more and more interesting. All I did before was just to survive, but now I have other thoughts. I want you to live a better and safer life. I want to see your smiling face. I feel happy when you are happy. I have also experienced many emotions that I have never experienced before.
Xiao Nian, I feel like I have so much to learn from you, and the thing I’m most thankful for now is that you’re here with me.”
Fu Cang's expression was particularly sincere when he said these words, which made Mo Xiaonian feel embarrassed.
It turns out that straight men can be so touching when they say sweet words!
"Well... Look, the sun is about to set. Didn't you say you would take me to see the underground spring? Let's go. But I don't want you to carry me on your back. I want to go by myself!"
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you there!"
Fu Cang stretched out his broad palm towards Mo Xiaonian. Mo Xiaonian's hand was several times smaller than Fu Cang's, and compared with his bronze skin, Mo Xiaonian's hand was incredibly white. The only thing Fu Cang could think of was boiled egg white.
Fu Cang's hand was particularly steady. He held Mo Xiaonian's hand all the way and brought her to the spring.
The spring water here is particularly good, clear and transparent, even clearer than the water in the stream they had filtered before.
"This water source is really good, but it's so high up that it might be inconvenient to get water in the winter."
Mo Xiaonian looked around the spring and said to Fu Cang, "Look, Fu Cang, the spring water flows down the mountain from this stream. We can block this waterway and dig a ditch from this side. The end of the ditch will lead to our cave. This way, we don't have to walk so far to fetch water."
"Is this actually possible? Can we divert the stream?"
"Of course. When we find a place to settle down, we can do the same thing and divert water through our tribe. This way, it will be very convenient for us to get water and farm."
"But when it gets really cold, except for the springs that keep coming up, the rest of the streams will still be frozen!"
"It is a very slow process for flowing stream water to freeze. It will only freeze for a period of time when it is very cold. We can then melt the ice to make water. And if we take some protective measures, the stream water will not freeze easily, such as covering the ditch with tree bark. In that case, the stream will not freeze easily."
Fu Cang suddenly picked up Mo Xiaonian and turned her around, scaring Mo Xiaonian so much that she screamed.
"Let's go, let's go back and tell the Great Elder about this matter. You have solved such a difficult problem. The Great Elder is right. You are really the lucky star of our tribe!"
Mo Xiaonian raised her head proudly.
That is a must. I have received sixteen years of education. Even after I started working, I was constantly undergoing training. I have learned a lot of different knowledge!
The next day, Fu Cang took these people to the mountain to dig ditches again.
As Mo Xiaonian said, he blocked the natural stream with soil, and then dug a ditch about half a foot deep along the direction leading to the cave.
Fu Cang also took out the iron axe and started working.
He originally wanted to play dirty and said that the wound on his back had not healed yet, but Fu Cang tore his clothes off.
His back has recovered to its original state, without any trace of injury!
So, amid the people's contempt, Tiefu reluctantly followed them up the mountain to dig trenches.
Mo Xiaonian had made another great contribution, and she was on her menstrual period, so Yuelu and Luhua doted on her very much, not letting her do anything and just letting her sleep in the house.
This was exactly what Mo Xiaonian wanted. As soon as he entered the space, he started to work like a slave.
She felt that the Space Mall was an invisible whip that was constantly whipping her from behind, forcing her not to slack off at all. Whenever she had the chance, she would go in and work.
The weather was good today, and the men all went out to work. The women couldn't sit idle either, so they went out to dig more wild vegetables and pick up more dry firewood before it snowed. So after the men left, the women took their children to the surrounding woods.
Yuelu and Luhua also planned to get some more pine cones.
This thing is really great. It is said that the pine nuts can be collected and sold for money, and the pine cones can be used to make fire. There is really no waste at all.
Before leaving, Yuelu asked Linghua, who was still at home, to pay attention to Mo Xiaonian and not let her get into any accidents.
Linghua rolled her eyes hard at Yuelu's back.
She felt that Yue Lu and Fu Cang had gone insane.
Mo Xiaonian is so old, not a three-year-old child. Does she still need someone to take care of her?
No, they are all sick!
Linghua stamped her feet angrily and ignored Yuelu's instructions. After Yuelu and the others left, she also went to the woods.
Mo Xiaonian was the only one left in the cave, and she was still working in the space, completely unaware that a huge danger was approaching.
Mo Xiaonian planted a lot of cabbages, half of which were stored in the warehouse, and the other half were pickled into sauerkraut, so that the food supply in winter would be more abundant.
During this period, she exchanged all the white sugar, brown sugar, tofu, dried tofu and other things she made for points, and then bought sanitary napkins.
Most importantly, she had her eyes on a scented shampoo and body wash.
Fragrance was secondary, and she finally understood why her hair was so itchy.
It turns out that these people in the tribe have lice on their bodies and in their hair!
Oh my God! Mo Xiaonian, who had never seen that thing before, was controlled for a minute when she first saw it. When she thought about the tiny reptiles on her hair and body, she felt numb all over.
She shut herself up for a long time and finally figured out why head lice and body lice disappeared in modern times. It was because of the chemicals they used, the shampoos and shower gels full of chemicals, which could kill those little reptiles instantly.
