After a day and night of heavy snowfall, the entire grassland was covered with white silver, and other colors were covered, as if it had become a vast ocean of white, undulating and continuous.

The cold season has begun, and the temperature has dropped rapidly. The first two days were warm and comfortable, but now all I can feel is the bone-chilling cold.

In addition to the endless whiteness, the representative of the cold season is the coldness that makes people feel the deepest.

After entering the cold season, the number of times people travel, including hunting, will be greatly reduced.Most of the women and children will choose to stay in a warmer house and stay behind closed doors to avoid the severe cold. Soldiers will choose to use the time around noon to hunt when the sun is more abundant and the weather is better. , There is usually a large-scale hunting operation in about ten days, and people usually rely on the food accumulated before the cold season.

There is also a reserve of food in the collective warehouse of the tribe, which will be distributed to people in the most difficult time to ensure that the people in the tribe can survive the long cold season.

At the beginning of the cold season, the temperature is actually not the coldest. The temperature will reach about minus ten degrees in the morning and evening. At noon, the temperature sometimes hovers around zero degrees. The coldest time is in the middle of the cold season. It can often reach minus [-] or [-] degrees. At that time, people would not even go hunting. The severe cold can not only frostbite people, but even freeze them to death. In the face of nature, human beings are still too small, and this kind of cold will continue For a month, the temperature will slowly rise, but it is still below zero.

The reason why people feel particularly cold at the beginning of the cold season is just because of the sudden drop in temperature and the huge temperature difference. Before the warmth of more than ten degrees, it was colder than minus ten degrees, and the temperature difference of tens of degrees. The intuitive feeling is that it is very cold, and the human body needs to work hard to adapt to it. At this time, it is often the time when the disease takes the opportunity to attack. Sneezing, runny nose, fever, typhoid cold, young and infirm people are often the most likely to get sick.

As a foreigner who experienced the cold season for the first time, Zhang Yue has a deep understanding of the sudden cold, because he caught a cold very unfortunately under the sudden cold, and the severe cold symptoms accompanied him. Itching, sneezing, tears and snot, and a little fever at night, the body is hot, but it feels cold from the back, shivering under the thick animal skin.

"Ah-choo~A-choo~A-choo!!!" His nose was itchy, Zhang Yue sneezed three times in a row, his eyes were irritated and shed tears, his nose was red, it looked like he had wiped it too many times , In order to wipe his nose, he cut a piece of linen into a dozen small pieces for rotation, saved a pile and washed it for reuse. There is no way, this world without toilet paper towels is so sad.However, he is already the most extravagant person in the tribe, and no one can wipe his nose with a rare sackcloth yet.

"Come and drink some hot water." Li thoughtfully brought a bowl of water to him, and frowned at his uncomfortable appearance, "Have you taken the pill?"

"Ah~" Zhang Yue tried his best to sniff his nose to prevent the snot from flowing out. He took the hot water and drank it with his head up. "I have eaten it, but the effect is not so fast."

The more Zhang knows about colds, the cold has a pathological cycle. Normally, as long as there are no other complications, keep warm, rest more, and drink plenty of water. Most of them will gradually recover within a week and heal on their own. It's just that weak people are prone to complications and need to cooperate with taking medicine. The sick time will be longer, and the viral influenza will also last longer.

"How is the situation in the tribe? Are there many people with colds?" Zhang Yue has already popularized the common sense of cold symptoms with Heli, and asked him to go to the tribe to check if there are any sick people, and remind people to keep warm and drink more when they are free Some hot water to prevent colds in advance.

"More than a dozen children have caught a cold, and seven or eight women and three men have also caught a cold. I have given them the pills and told them what you need to pay attention to. It's okay. They will It will get better soon, everyone had this disease before, and they all passed with one resistance, now with your pills, they will get better sooner." Li told the situation he learned, he was very concerned about this kind of disease. I don't care too much about the disease. Most people in the tribe are physically strong and rarely get sick. Moreover, this kind of disease is not fatal, and it can always pass after resistance.

"Well, that's good, it's good to control it in time, otherwise it will form a flu, and it will be more troublesome to treat, ah, the sky is getting so fast, it's so cold, it's going to freeze to death." Zhang Yue's whole body is thick. Under the fur, it huddled into a warm place, with only its head exposed, like a huge fat ball of fur.

"Still cold? Do you want to add another layer of animal skin, or drink another bowl of hot water." After finishing speaking, before Zhang Yue answered, Li had already stood up and took out another thick brown animal skin from the side. This animal skin belonged to a brown bear. Warmth is very good.Li took the animal skin and surrounded Zhang Yue's body directly, and Zhang Yue gained weight again.

Afraid of taking too much water, Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "I won't drink any more water, I want to go to the latrine if I drink too much."

He smiled unkindly, "You don't need to go to the latrine, there is a wooden barrel, you can pee there, if you want to pee, I'll carry it for you."

Zhang Yue shook his head vigorously, "I don't want to."

"Do you want to lie down and sleep for a while? Didn't you say that you can get better soon by resting more?" Li said.

Zhang Yue shook his head again, "I can't sleep, I'll just sit here, you can go about your business, don't worry about me." Of course he can't sleep, he has slept all night and morning, now he can sleep Strange.

Li was a restless person, because it was still snowing outside, so he couldn't go out of the house. He found a few animal bones that he had collected before, sat at the stone table, moved a hard and smooth stone from the corner, and planned to put these Animal bones are ground into bone knives.

Most of the grinding time of bone knives is completed in the cold season, which has a long time to kill, and the time-consuming and laborious work of grinding bone knives is completed at this time.

With two layers of thick animal skin on his body, Zhang Yue felt that it was not so cold. He blinked and looked at Li, who was sitting at the stone table sharpening the bone knife, and saw that he was wearing a not-so-thick animal skin coat. I sewed it when I was practicing, and the stitches were a bit big, some places leaked air, and the sleeves were a little crooked, even one was long and the other was short.

Looking at the clothes, Zhang Yue straightly frowned. This is his handicraft work, which is not very good. He has worked hard to sew two sets of thicker and more regular clothes. Unexpectedly, Li put on this set, which is the worst. kind of clothes.

"Ali, you're not cold, why don't you wear that black suit, that suit is much thicker than this one." Zhang Yue said.

Li lowered his head to grind the bone knife without even raising his head, and said, "It's not cold, this set is just right." After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm not afraid of the cold."

"I didn't sew this suit well. The stitches are too big, and the sleeves are still crooked. It will be uncomfortable for you to wear." Zhang Yue said.

"It's okay, it's pretty good. It's much better than my previous clothes. As long as it's made by Ah Yue, everything is good." He said sweet words without raising his head, which warmed Zhang Yue's heart.

Seeing that he liked it, Zhang Yue stopped talking and changed the topic, "How about we eat mutton stewed radish at night, put some chili, it tastes spicy and delicious, but don't put so much chili like last time. Just add two or three, otherwise it will be too spicy, and your tongue will be so spicy." Zhang Yue said with a chuckle, remembering the incident that Lizhurou put too much chili a few days ago, two people ate it His face was red and his neck was thick, one of them was sweating all over, and his hot tongue was numb.

The discovery of chili is a very meaningful thing. It was discovered when Zhang Yue led the dwarves to the grassland for the last hunt. They walked farther this time. They found a group of antelopes and followed them. When they arrived in a strange place, where they had never been before, there was a piece of green low plants that stood out from the grass, and the animals didn't eat them at all.

Zhang Yue noticed with sharp eyes that there were clusters of small red pointed fruits hanging on the green plants. His eyes lit up, and an answer was ready to come out. When he got closer and took a closer look, it was indeed the answer in his heart-pepper, and it was quite The spicy Wangtian pepper, these small peppers are smaller than what he has seen before, and there are twenty or thirty small peppers on each pepper plant.

There are hundreds of peppers in this area. Looking at the peppers, Zhang Yue was full of enthusiasm, and he didn't care about the prey, so he started picking peppers frantically.

The dwarves who followed looked curiously, thinking it was some delicious fruit, one of them grabbed some of them and threw them into his mouth, and chewed them in big mouthfuls. I felt as if there was a fire burning in my mouth, my tears came out hot, my face became red, and even drinking a bamboo tube of water didn't work, and they all opened their mouths to breathe, fanning the wind with their hands, thinking of blowing the water away. Drive away the weird smell.

"Hahaha~" Zhang Yue smiled unkindly, "This kind of fruit is called chili pepper, and its characteristic is spicy, which is the feeling you get after eating it. Eating it can warm your body and drive away the cold. Normally, it is best not to eat it directly. If it’s too spicy, it can be used as a condiment. Put it in when cooking the meat, and it will taste better. You can put some when you cook the meat, but you should put less, and if you add too much, it will be what you feel now.” Zhang Yuehe The dwarves explained the characteristics of the peppers, and they clicked their tongues in their hearts. At first, they were skeptical about these peppers, fearing that they were not spicy, but now seeing the dwarves like this, their doubts can be completely dispelled.

The dwarves looked at Zhang Yue with accusing eyes, why didn't you say it earlier.

Zhang Yue scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I was so excited, I just wanted to pick peppers, and I forgot to tell you, hehe, I will tell you how to eat it when I go back. I promise that the food will be very delicious. You will eat it once. Want to eat a second time.
