Chapter 342: Making a Warm Pad
"You were silent for a long time, I almost forgot about you!"
Ye Xinran patted his chest.
Shunzi looked innocent: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"
"fine!"
Ye Xinran looked at his feet: "How do your feet feel today? Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, just a little bloated."
Sunja replied.
"That's good, you don't have to move, just sit in the car."
Ye Xinran comforted him.
But at the same time, she also discovered a problem.
I originally thought that I could sneak into the space without anyone noticing in the car, but what should I do now?
"Ding Qiao!"
Ye Xinran called Ding Qiao and whispered, "I remember I need to go to the bathroom, come with me!"
Going to the toilet on the march is a problem, especially when there are men around.
Ye Xinran would consciously drink less water before, and when she wanted to go to the bathroom, she would send Ding Qiao away and sneak into the bathroom alone.
Every night when they stopped to rest, she would pretend to follow Ding Qiao to the wild. It had become a habit.
After Shunzi got on the car, he didn't cause much trouble.
Ye Xinran would deliberately mix some sleeping pills into his medicine to make him sleep deeply, so that it would not affect her daily entry into the space.
But as a living person, he still needs to eat and go to the toilet, so this time in the evening is when Shunzi is awake.
Ye Xinran couldn't bear to continue giving him medicine, so she could only hide away and avoid his gaze.
The two walked a long way away from the team and finally found a bush that could block everyone's sight.
"Just here. Ding Qiao, help me watch outside."
Ye Xinran said this and hid behind the bushes.
As soon as she left Ding Qiao's sight, Ye Xinran immediately entered the space.
There is a packaging machine outside the laboratory, which has not been used for a long time.
Because now Ye Xinran uses ceramic jars to store her medicines.
During the day, she had taken the time to debug the machine and put all the other necessary materials into the machine.
Now just put the charcoal powder in.
Ye Xinran threw more than 20,000 bags of charcoal powder into a huge bellows. As the bellows turned at high speed, all the bags were opened, and the charcoal powder inside dyed the bellows inky black.
After a short three minutes, one bag after another was thrown out, the bellows gradually stopped turning, and the flying charcoal powder slowly fell down.
Slide it slowly along the pipe into the machine.
Next, everything will be automated.
All the materials will be mixed evenly, then packed into bags and sealed with non-woven bags.
This kind of heating pad can only be used immediately after it is made and cannot be stored for too long.
Because bags that have not been sealed can easily absorb moisture from the air, the iron powder in the heating pad will oxidize and the heating pad will lose its original function.
Seeing that the machine was operating normally, Ye Xinran immediately retreated from the space.
At this time, Ding Qiao, who was waiting outside, was already getting a little anxious.
"Master, Master, are you in there?
Please say something to put my mind at ease!"
"I am here!"
Ye Xinran responded, "I'll be out right away!"
After saying that, Ye Xinran raised her foot and walked out from behind the bushes.
Ding Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Xinran show up.
"Luckily you came out, otherwise I would have rushed in!"
"Don't panic if you encounter this kind of thing in the future. If I didn't speak out, it must be inconvenient to speak out. Nothing will happen."
Ye Xinran comforted her and also gave her a shot of prevention.
If one day we delay too long and Ding Qiao rushes over, only to find that the person is not there, that scene would be a bit scary.
"Master, please try to give me a signal, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"
Ding Qiao teased herself.
The two men followed the footprints they came from back to the team. At this time, the fireman had already prepared the meal, and Zhang Qian took the meal back for several people.
The meal in the evening was also simple. She used the seasoning cubes that Ye Xinran had made earlier to cook soup, and added the radish, cabbage and dried meat that she had brought with her when she set out.
The staple food is still multi-grain steamed buns.
It is a great happiness to be able to have such a hot meal in this icy and snowy environment.
This hot soup is delicious and has a great flavor, which makes you even happier.
Ye Xinran drank the soup, broke the steamed bun into pieces and put it into the soup, which tasted good.
Shunzi slurped down the soup, then slowly nibbled on the steamed bun, saying, "Although the conditions are a bit tough this time, the food is much better than the last time I went to war."
Shunzi had been sitting in the carriage for two days, mostly sleeping. The color on his face had returned a little, and he looked much more energetic.
Ye Xinran teased him: "How old are you? You've already been to the battlefield twice?"
Shunzi scratched his head in embarrassment, “I joined the army when I was twelve.
There were no other males in my family, and my father was sick when the army was called up, so I had to go to the army in his place."
"Twelve years old is not enough!" Ye Xinran wondered.
Although he didn't know much about Daliang's laws, twelve years old seemed too young.
"I wasn't old enough, but the recruiter changed my age from twelve to sixteen and let me go with him."
"You look so young, will King Rui accept you?"
Shunzi's words made Ye Xinran realize the darkness of the imperial court's conscription, but she didn't believe that King Rui would be the kind of person who would turn a blind eye.
“I wasn’t in this team before.”
Sunja blinked.
"I was a soldier in Yongnan County before."
"Then how did you get to the capital?"
This surprised Ye Xinran.
"I was injured in the leg during a battle. When our team was retreating, they couldn't take care of the injured. All those who couldn't keep up were left behind."
"That would leave you as a sitting duck for the enemy."
"Well, I really thought I was dead that time." Shunzi said, "But fortunately, King Rui led his troops to rescue us and saved us all.
Our coach was severely scolded by King Rui and was punished with ten lashes.
When we left, King Rui was afraid that we would be retaliated against, so he asked us to go with him.
Now that I think about it, it was a blessing in disguise for us.”
Shunzi smiled as he spoke. "Although King Rui is strict with us, my life belongs to King Rui. I will do whatever he asks me to do."
Looking at Shunzi's expression, Ye Xinran knew that what he said was sincere and not flattery.
Many people in this team have the same mentality.
I both respect and admire King Rui.
That’s why we can work under such difficult conditions without any complaints.
……
After eating, Shunzi fell asleep quickly.
Ye Xinran took advantage of Ding Qiao's absence to go to the space to check the production of the heating pads.
