My Magic Has No Attack Power Chapter 42: : Getting ready for the bath
In the short time I was out, the snow got heavier and the temperature plummeted again.
Xiang En's hand was so cold that it hurt, and the hand holding the wooden barrel was stiff. Seeing the door of the village, he just wanted to hurry back to the basement and burn some wood for warmth.
When he crossed the gate of the village, he suddenly looked at the wooden fence of the village and stood there. Thinking of the threat of the ghouls just now, he wondered whether to add a gate to the entrance of the village?
He talked to Andrea about his thoughts, and all he got was a "casual" answer, letting Xiangen vent his aura.
Is there no idea of my own at all? I am afraid that after a while, Andrea will become a tool person who only knows how to obey orders...
Are the conditions at the time too arbitrary?
Xiang En began to wonder if the terms of cooperation when he approached Andrea were appropriate. If she didn't have her own ideas, would she not be able to deal with the problem herself in the event of an accident in the future?
Temporarily giving up the idea of getting the door now, Xiang En took Andrea back to the wooden house.
Closing the trapdoor in the basement, Andrea took the bucket and walked down the ladder, followed by Xiang En, and closed the trapdoor, the underground suddenly fell into darkness, and only one was embedded in the two rooms Oil lamps in the aisles illuminated a little.
The original pharmacy was full of wood and planks, most of which were materials Xiangen prepared to use to brush 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 flint and light to light an oil lamp embedded in the wall.
Because the room has a chimney connected to the surface, the indoor temperature is still very low.
In the right corner of the room, there are several large water tanks with little water left, and there are a few simple wooden shelves next to them, with a lot of dried meat stacked on them.
Next to the wall in the middle of the room is a large bed big enough for two people, covered with several layers of animal skins and cloth.
Animal skins are actually very valuable. The skin of this bed in the city can feed a family of three for a year or two, but in this village, the skins are so worthless that they are even sewn together to make quilt.
A small cubicle was dug out on the left side of the room. Inside was a toilet, and it didn't smell much in winter.
Andrea put down the bucket, set the pot on fire, and boiled the river water that had just come back from the river.
Xiang En didn't have the time to do anything else for the time being, so he and Andrea stared at the wok and heated the fire together.
The stagnant air made the indoor temperature rise quickly. Occasionally, Xiang Enhui pulled the bellows that was removed from the furnace at the village chief's house and sucked in some cold air from the outside.
The two are enjoying their current dwelling life peacefully, leaning comfortably together to make a fire, as if everything outside has nothing to do with them.
Gollum!
The water in the iron pot boiled, and the steam kept coming out, gradually adding a bit of warmth to the room.
Xiang En got a wooden spoon to dig out the water in the pot, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently.
Bravely swallowed it into his mouth. The warm water made him a little absent-minded. He resisted the urge to swallow it into his stomach and savored it carefully.
"How is it?"
Andrea looked at him expectantly.
Xiang En frowned and felt it for a while, then stopped holding it in his mouth, swallowed it, smashed his mouth, and said, "It's still a bit weird, but I can drink it."
The reason why I say I can drink it is because I see those small fish that swim without any abnormality. The river water was full of dead fish before, but now there are live ones, which proves that these waters are at least less harmful to living things. to a certain extent.
However, they still have a lot of clean water. For the time being, they don't need to force themselves to drink this strange-smelling river water. After drinking the clean water, the river surface should be cleaner.
Andrea took the wooden spoon and took a sip. She could indeed taste a little strange and a little disgusting, which made her feel very disappointed. It turned out to be a problem.
Seeing that she was a little disappointed, he said to Enmu with affection: "It will take a while to drink, but it is no problem to take a bath with this water."
"Huh?" Andrea was shocked when she heard the words, looked at Xiang En who was smiling, looked away awkwardly, and stammered, "Wash...bath! Eh, it's ok, haha."
The clothes on Andrea's body were too thick, and Xiang En couldn't see what she was pinching. Her face was already red from the cold. In Xiang En's eyes, she looked like she knew that she could take a bath. Excited.
After confirming that the water could be used for bathing, Andrea let go of the exercise and squatted with the wood on her back in the limited space.
As sweat spilled out of her body, Andrea also reduced the clothes on her body again and again, until she returned to the state she was wearing when she was exercising.
Xiang En was carving a totem in front of the stove, and the scattered sawdust was thrown directly into the stove, maintaining a strong charcoal fire and keeping the indoor temperature.
The day went by like this, during which the two left the basement many times, wanting to see if the snow had stopped, so they could go to 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 sharpen themselves.
The next morning, the two who had breakfast left the basement, 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 at a loss.
Xiang En looked at the window and sighed.
Compared with yesterday, today's snow is more than a star and a half, and it is directly deposited one meter high. I am afraid it is difficult to go to the river in such an environment.
I originally wanted to install a gate to the village by the way, but now it is obviously impossible.
However, taking a shower is still fine. Although the snow is a little dirty, it is much better than the dirt that has accumulated on the two of them for more than ten days.
The two of them pushed open the door and started shoveling the snow. They laboriously moved the cauldrons from the center of the village, swept the snow off a piece of ground, and set up the cauldron with a few stones~IndoMTL.com~ shoveling snow and burning fire The job was left to Andrea to Enquan, who went to raise the damper of the chimney.
The snow was so heavy that he was a little worried that the chimney was not 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 boards up, and then reinforce the four sides of the chimney to prevent them from being knocked down.
Xiang En, who was stepping on the stool, was struggling to hold on to the wooden board and beat the nails. After finishing his job, he leaned over to get off the chair, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a black spot outside the wall.
In a world filled with snow, a touch of black looks so unusual. With his fairly good eyesight, Xiang En easily spotted the big face plate of the black figure and frowned deeply.
Standing up straight on the chair, Xiangen stared 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 struck.
Thinking of this, Xiang En continued to monitor the ghouls and shouted: "Enri!"
Andrea, who was absent-mindedly shoveling snow in front of the wooden house, heard Xiangen's call, trembled like a frightened rabbit, straightened up and responded, "What's the matter?"
"Go get the sword and shield, a ghoul seems to be approaching the village."
"Ghouls?"
Andrea's eyes flashed with confusion, and the next moment she remembered the incident of Xiangen naming the villagers who turned into monsters yesterday, and she immediately understood the meaning of what she just said.
With an exclamation from the spot, Andrea immediately dropped the shovel and hurried into the house.
When she came to Xiang En's side, the short knife and wooden shield were already in her hands. The thick clothes on her body and the appearance of being ready to fight made her look like a fat puppet holding a sword and shield.
