Chapter 73

(Listen, listen, listen (Someone has given a reward again, sniff, sniff, sniff, I'm so moved! Thank you, Book Friend Haoshentianfa, for your reward. I am extremely grateful for your support! It's Monday now. Considering that I'm still working hard on writing at such a late hour, please give me your recommendations and collections! Even just a click! Thank you all for your support again!)

The heavy snow continued for several days, drifting and swirling without any sign of letting up.

After a few days, thick layers of snow began to pile up around, especially on the small platform in front of Er Dongsheng's cave entrance, where the snow accumulated quickly, forcing him to go out every day to clear it, braving the bone-chilling wind and heavy snow!

What a miserable task!

But this job could only be done by him because...

Boom, boom!

A few ordinary fireballs were thrown, and the surrounding snow instantly melted into water, flowing away through the cracks in the mountain wall.

Only he could clear it so conveniently!

...

Another cold and silent night!

"Phew!"

Cold, so cold! A bone-chilling coldness came over him!

Er Dongsheng sat up from the wooden bed, moved his numb limbs, and felt the blood in his body start to flow rapidly, leaving him wide awake!

It was too cold. No matter how many furs were on the bed, he would still be woken up by the cold every night. The furs were drafty, and a steady stream of cold air rose from the ground, making it useless no matter how many layers he used!

The bonfire beside him continued to crackle, but the fierce flames seemed to be suppressed by the extreme cold, only warming a small area!

He got up, looked at the two little ones curled up and sleeping soundly, and carefully added more furs to them. Er Dongsheng smiled, not knowing why, but although Lulu and Berry also felt the cold, they didn't wake up like he did, even in their sleep!

His fiery constitution seemed to be a big problem at this moment!

When a certain ability reaches its peak, it is often restrained by the ability that counters it!

Er Dongsheng was a Fire Demon God, having mastered the manipulation of fire to the extreme and loving high temperatures, but conversely, he detested snowy days. The recent extreme cold had kept him awake and made him feel exhausted!

"The temperature is still dropping. If this continues, even Lulu and the others won't be able to bear it. I must find a solution!" Standing by the bonfire, he added more firewood to make it burn more vigorously. Fortunately, he had stored a lot of firewood beforehand; otherwise, it wouldn't have been enough at this rate!

In such icy and snowy weather, going out to look for firewood would be a suicidal act!

His body slowly warmed up, and Er Dongsheng quietly thought, considering the next steps!

"First, this cave is too spacious. It needs to be filled with something. At the very least, the stone walls around should be insulated. These stones have poor water retention and even worse insulation!" Looking at the rock walls, dew had condensed on the surface due to the temperature difference, making everything damp and giving Er Dongsheng a chill. He suddenly felt that this place would become uninhabitable if things continued like this!

Looking around, he noticed many other unreasonable aspects!

For example, the entrance needed to be redone. The current large stone slab was drafty, and more than half of the cave's heat was lost through it!

"A more airtight door would be good, but it can't be too airtight. Otherwise, starting a fire in such a sealed cave would be suicidal!" He muttered to himself and looked at the sleeping area.

Actually, the most important thing was the sleeping area. A warm and comfortable bed was more important than a warm cave!

What should he do?

Faced with the bed problem, Er Dongsheng was at a loss. More furs? More soft grass underneath? Neither was reliable. He would find out that it would still be cold, and the cold air from the ground would still rise, making it hard to sleep well.

"Since that's the case, why not build a heated bed?"

Er Dongsheng remembered the heated beds (kang) used in rural areas of Northeast China in his previous life. They seemed quite good!

A heated bed, or kang, is a common heating device in the northern regions of the previous Earth.

If Er Dongsheng built a large heated bed in the cave, it would not only solve the problem of sitting, lying, and living but also radiate heat through its large surface, maintaining a higher indoor temperature and solving the problem of the cold air rising from the ground!

Imagine sitting on a warm heated bed, no longer worrying about the smoke from the bonfire. When in a leisurely mood, you could even build a small fire on the heated bed, roast some meat, warm a cup of fruit juice, and heat a bowl of rich meat broth. How wonderful would that be!

"Sounds nice, but unfortunately, it's not practical right now!" Shaking his head, although Er Dongsheng really wanted to build this legendary heating device, it was too impractical for him at the moment.

Not to mention that building a heated bed is a technical skill, and the materials needed, such as sticky clay, he didn't know where to find! It was too cold to look for them now!

Too unreliable. If this doesn't work, are there other methods?

Er Dongsheng walked back and forth in the cave, frustrated, thinking for a long time but still having no clue. The sky was beginning to brighten, and the two little ones had already woken up. The weather was too cold, and they didn't sleep well. They were now tidying up the bed! Of course, the main force was Lulu, while Berry was babbling and causing trouble on the side! This little one was naturally optimistic! Really not like a demon! At least an unqualified demon!

The two little ones had suddenly stopped fighting and were now getting along very well!

...

Creak, creak, the sound of sand under his feet was annoying. Er Dongsheng stomped on the ground, but a louder creaking sound came out!

Damn!

What the hell, are you against me too, you damn sand...

Wait, sand?

"Right, sand! How could I forget such an important thing! It's one of the best insulating materials!" Er Dongsheng shouted happily, startling the two little ones!

"Huh?"

"Yah?"

What's going on~~~

...

(Similar to me, it's late at night, cold, and sleepless! I can relate so much, how much I wish I had a heated bed!)
