My Magic Has No Attack Power
Chapter 42 Preparing for the Bath
During the short time we went out, the snow became heavier and the temperature dropped again.
Xiang En's hand was sore from the cold, and the hand holding the barrel was stiff. When he saw the village gate, he just wanted to go back to the basement and burn some wood for warmth.
When he crossed the gate of the village, he suddenly looked at the wooden wall of the village and stood in place. Thinking of the threat of the ghoul just now, he wondered if he should add a gate to the village entrance?
He shared his thoughts with Andrea, but all he got was a casual answer, which made Xiang En lose his temper.
Have you completely lost your own thoughts? I'm afraid that after a while, Andrea will become a tool person who only knows how to obey orders...
Were the conditions at that time too arbitrary?
Xiang En began to doubt whether the terms of cooperation when he found Andrea were suitable. If she didn't have her own ideas, would she not be able to deal with the problem by herself if she encountered an accident in the future?
Temporarily giving up the idea of getting the door now, Xiang En took Andrea back to the wooden house.
After closing the trap door in the basement, Andrea took the bucket and walked down the ladder. Xiang En followed closely and closed the trap door. The basement suddenly fell into darkness. Oil lamps illuminate a few places.
The original alchemy room was full of wood and planks, most of which were materials that Xiang En was going to use to improve his totem skill proficiency.
The two did not stay in this room, and entered the rest room along the narrow corridor.
The light in the room was still dim, so Xiang En found a flint and lit an oil lamp mounted on the wall.
Because the room has a chimney connected to the surface, the temperature in the room is still very low.
In the right corner of the room are several large water tanks, which contain the little water left, and there are a few simple wooden shelves next to them, with a lot of dried meat piled up on them.
In the middle of the room, next to the wall, is a large bed big enough for two people, covered with several layers of animal skins and cloth.
Animal skins are actually very valuable. In the city, the animal skins for this bed alone can feed a family of three for a month or two. But in this village, the animal skins are very worthless, and they are even sewn together as a quilt. .
There is also a small compartment dug out on the left side of the room, which is a toilet, and the one in winter has no smell.
Andrea put down the bucket, set the pot on fire, and boiled the river water just brought back from the river.
Xiang En didn't have much interest in doing other things for the time being, so he and Andrea stared at the iron pan to warm the fire.
The stagnant air allowed the temperature in the room to rise quickly. Occasionally, Xiang En would pull the bellows removed from the furnace of the village chief's house to suck in some cold air from outside.
The two peacefully enjoyed their current dwelling life, leaning against the fire comfortably, as if everything outside had nothing to do with them.
Gululu!
The water in the iron pot boiled, and the steam kept coming out, gradually adding a bit of warmth to the room.
Xiang En found a wooden spoon and dug a mouthful of water in the pot, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, the sour taste was almost inaudible, perhaps it was already in the category of drinkable.
Boldly swallowed it into his mouth, the warm water made him a little distracted, resisting the urge to swallow it into his stomach and savor it carefully.
How about it?
Andrea looked at him expectantly.
Xiang En frowned and felt it, then stopped holding it in his mouth, swallowed it, smashed it down, and said: It still has a strange taste, but it can be drunk.
The reason why I can drink it is because I saw those small fish swimming without any abnormality. The river water was full of dead fish before, but now there are live ones, which proves that the water is at least less harmful to living things. .
However, they still have a lot of clean water, so they don't need to force themselves to drink the strange-smelling river water. After the clean water is finished, the river surface should be cleaner.
Andrea took the wooden spoon and took a sip. She could indeed taste a little strange taste, which was a little disgusting. This made her feel very disappointed. She never thought that drinking water, which never needs to be considered, would become a thing. problem.
Seeing that she was a little disappointed, Xiang Enmu said dotingly: It will take a while to drink, but it's no problem to take a bath with this water.
Eh? Andrea was startled when she heard the words, looked at the smiling Xiang En, shyly looked away, and stammered, Will you take a shower! Hey, it's okay, haha.
The clothes Andrea was wearing were too thick, and Xiang En couldn't see what she was tweaking. Her face was already flushed from the cold, and in Xiang En's eyes, she looked as if she was excited to know that she could take a bath.
After confirming that the water could be used for bathing, Andrea let go of the exercise and squatted while carrying the wood in the limited space.
As the sweat spilled out of her body, Andrea also reduced the clothes on her body again and again, until she returned to the state she wore when she was exercising.
Xiang En carved totems in front of the stove, and threw the scattered sawdust directly into the stove to maintain a strong charcoal fire and keep the temperature in the room.
The day passed like this, during which the two left the basement several times to see if the snow had stopped so they could fetch water.
It's just that the snow in the sky has not stopped, but it is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, they simply gave up the idea of fetching water today, and continued to exercise and hone themselves.
The next morning, the two left the basement after breakfast, and Andrea pushed open the window of the wooden house, only to see a layer of snow that almost buried the window.
This... Andrea looked back at Xiang En in bewilderment.
Xiang En went to the window to have a look, and sighed while resting his forehead.
Compared with yesterday, today's snow accumulation is more than a star and a half, and it is directly silted up to a meter high. It may be difficult to go to the river in such an environment.
Originally, I wanted to install a gate for the village by the way, but now it is obviously impossible.
But it's okay to take a bath. Although the snow is a bit dirty, it's much better than the dirt accumulated on the two of them for more than ten days.
The two pushed open the door and began to shovel the snow. They struggled to bring the cauldrons in the center of the village, cleared the snow from a piece of ground, and set up the cauldron with a few stones.
Xiang Enquan left the work of shoveling snow and lighting the fire to Andrea, and he went to raise the chimney damper.
The snow fell so heavily that he was a little worried that the chimney would not be high enough and would be buried by the snow.
People here also use nails to build houses. To increase the height, you only need to nail the planks up, and then reinforce the four sides of the chimney to prevent it from being knocked down.
Stepping on the stool, Xiang En struggled to hold on to the board and hammered the nails. After finishing his work, he leaned over to get off the chair, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black spot beyond the wall.
In the snow-covered world, a touch of black seemed so unusual. Relying on his fairly good eyesight, Xiang En easily spotted the big face of the black figure, and frowned deeply.
Standing upright on the chair, Xiang En looked intently at the figure a hundred meters away from the village wall. He had already recognized that it was one of the ghouls who ran out of the village.
It may have been attracted by the sound of nails being hammered.
Thinking of this, Xiang En continued to monitor the ghoul and shouted, An Li!
Andrea, who was absent-mindedly shoveling snow in front of the wooden house, trembled like a frightened rabbit when she heard Xiang En's call, straightened up and responded, What's the matter?
Get the sword and shield, there seems to be a ghoul approaching the village.
Ghoul?
A gleam of confusion flashed in Andrea's eyes, and the next moment she remembered the incident yesterday when Xiang En named the villagers who had turned into monsters, and suddenly realized the meaning of what she just said.
With an exclamation on the spot, Andrea immediately dropped the shovel and hurried into the house.
When she came to Xiang En's side, she had already grasped the dagger and wooden shield in her hands. The thick clothes on her body and the appearance of being ready for battle made her look like a fat puppet holding a sword and shield.
