Chapter 478 Ice Cellar
“Huhu…”
The cold wind was howling outside the window, Chen Bei sat in his room, wearing a single dress, holding a beast brush in his hand, and once again perfected the map of the Southern Wilderness.
He has been doing this for several years.
The situation in the Southern Wilderness is constantly changing, and the map will naturally change accordingly.
On the map, the territory of hostile tribes such as the Ant Tribe, the Eagle Tribe, etc. were marked with a red pigment beast brush, which was clearly visible at a glance.
In addition to maps, there are also calendars and other things, which are also being improved and updated every year.
Qingzhu can't even make these things, so Chenbei can only do them.
After drawing the map, Chenbei let it dry naturally.
He himself opened the door and walked into the yard.
The wind is strong, but there is a bright moon in the sky, scattering a cold light.
Others were already wearing very thick clothes, but Chenbei didn't need them. His body was like a stove. Even if he stood naked in the snow and snow, he would not feel cold.
On the ground, with the whistling of the cold wind, a little white color gradually appeared.
Chenbei walked over and picked up a fallen leaf. He saw that some white frost had condensed on the sides of the fallen leaf.
"It's frost, and another cold winter is coming."
Due to the arrival of the glacier period, the winter in the entire continent is particularly long, occupying almost half a year.
It is also accompanied by various natural disasters such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, hail, etc.
The consequence of such extreme weather is that some animals that cannot adapt to the weather will gradually die.
Humans, in this environment, survive is also very difficult.
Some small tribes, even medium tribes, cannot find enough food due to changes in weather, and eventually declines and is destroyed.
Today is a little better. Apart from minor floods and droughts, no particularly serious natural disasters occurred, and the Mang tribe also achieved a bumper harvest.
I don't know when this weather will truly end.
"I hope the glacier period will pass soon."
Chen Bei put down the leaf and turned back to the house. At this time, a layer of silver-white frost had condensed on the ground, and the light was reversed under the moonlight.
It didn't take long after the frost, and it really snowed.
The eleventh year of the Mang tribe also began.
This time, the Mang tribe added thousands of totem warriors and their strength was enhanced.
After the sacrifice, the snow fell harder and heavier, and the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, until the ponds, streams, and rivers were frozen.
“Bangbangbang…”
By the pond, Chenbei knocked on the ice with a bronze shovel, and only some white marks appeared on it, but the ice did not break.
This shows that the ice has condensed very thickly.
Gray Brown was patrolling people. Seeing Chenbei holding a shovel to knock on the ice, he came over and asked curiously: "Chief, what are you going to do?"
Chenbeidao: "I want to dig some ice cubes back and put them in the deepest cellar. Store them well. These ice cubes should be able to last until next summer without melting."
Thinking of eating frozen fruits or cold drinks in the hot summer, Chen Bei licked his lips and was very yearning for this.
"There is something like this? If the ice is put into the cellar, it won't melt?"
Grey brown is very interested in this because in common sense, no one can store ice cubes until the next summer.
"Of course, the cellar needs to be dug very deep, and there are many ice cubes, so it is best to fill the entire cellar."
If there are too few ice cubes, it melts too fast. When spring begins tomorrow, it will probably turn into a pool of water.
Only when a large amount of ice cubes release cold air from each other can they remain unmelted and last longer.
"Chief, do you need help?" asked Gray Brown.
Chen Bei waved his hand and said, "No, you guys are busy, I'll do it myself."
"All right."
Gray Brown was quite regretful. He wanted to go to the cellar where ice was stored in Chenbei, but he still had the responsibility to inspect the tribe, so he could only place his hopes on the future.
"Dong!"
Chenbei started working again. He first shoveled the ice around the bronze shovel, shoveled out the cracks, and then started from the edge of the pond to remove the first piece of ice.
Because of the engineering team, the edge of the pond of the Mang tribe was not mud, but a stone wall. Chenbei shoveled the ice from the stone wall, picked it up and put it aside.
He repeated this process and soon after, he got a lot of ice cubes, and these ice cubes were relatively clean.
After digging the ice cubes, Chen Bei dragged the ice cubes back and put them into a deep-dig cellar at the back of the yard.
This cellar was dug out by Chenbei specifically for giant pangolins from the Chuanshan Tribe.
It is more than ten meters deep underground and has a large space.
Chen Bei had long thought about building an ice cellar.
However, building an ice cellar requires a lot of manpower and material resources, just to enjoy the cool feeling in summer. I have to say that this is a relatively luxurious thing.
Chenbei believes that the tribe is not qualified to seek pleasure now, so there is no large-scale ice cellar building.
However, it is still OK to build a small cellar and hide some ice.
Therefore, Chenbei did not ask for help, and personally moved the ice from the pond to the cellar bit by bit.
After he moved, the small cellar had become cold.
However, Chen Bei didn't care. He was the Sun Holy Body and was not afraid of the cold at all. The temperature was very low for ordinary people and did not affect Chen Bei.
Chenbei went out again, this time he went to the stream to dig ice, divide it into large pieces, and then took it back to the cellar.
After he filled the cellar, he sealed it with satisfaction.
"I hope these ice cubes will lie in it well next summer instead of turning into water."
Chen Bei prayed for a while, and then he stopped caring about this small ice cellar.
...
Red Crane Team.
Since resigning as captain of the guard team and joining the Red Crane team, Hongye has gradually developed a new hobby, which is to feed Red Crane.
Seeing the little Hongye grow up little by little under his own feeding, Hongye felt very satisfied.
“I may not be very suitable for fighting.”
Hongye said to her sister Honghua.
He thawed the huge bucket of fish and shrimp in warm water and then distributed it to the younger red cranes.
One of the red cranes even rubbed his head intimately.
"I've thought about it all. Anyway, it takes people to tame Red Cranes in the tribe. I will stay here to tame Red Cranes from now on."
Honghua looked at this slightly decadent brother and felt quite complicated.
She is a very strong person, Hongye is not, Hongye is obviously more at ease with the situation.
"Brother, don't you want to be the captain of the guards again?"
Hongye shook his head and said, "I've gone to see it. The guards are indeed not as good as those in the hands of Gray Brown. Gray Brown, doing a good job."
Honghua couldn't help but feel disappointed, but she couldn't force this brother to think the same as hers.
"Since you have made a choice, stay here to tame the Red Crane. The leader said that no matter what you do, as long as you do it well, it will be useful to the tribe."
Honghua turned around and left, leaving in a hurry.
