After all, the car had been frozen in such a cold world of ice and snow for a long time. The car windows were also frozen, and the windshield wipers were frozen directly on the glass.
These were nothing for the experienced Xu Yun. He asked Lin Ge to give him a bottle of white wine in the trunk of the car. This white wine was prepared before they came, and many bottles were prepared. Originally, it was for drinking a few mouthfuls when it was too cold to warm his skin. Now, it came in handy.
Xu Yun poured the vodka on a piece of cloth, covered the windshield wipers, and wiped them hard. In this way, it would be easier to solve the problem in a while.
Jiuqian Xiu took the remaining vodka from Xu Yun and poured it directly into his mouth. He knew the benefits of alcohol in a world of ice and snow.
"Do you want to have a sip to warm your body?" Jiuqian Xiu said to Xu Yun as he drank.
Xu Yun shook his head, "I'm not so cold now. I don't need it for the time being."
"Drink some to warm your stomach and liver." Jiuqian Xiu said and poured himself a few more mouthfuls. He hadn't drunk white wine for a long time, and he really wanted to drink it.
After a few mouthfuls, Jiuqian Xiu felt his body heat up. He took off the fur coat for Xu Yun. This wine was too important to him.
People would feel hot after drinking because alcohol stimulated the capillaries on the surface of the body, thickening the blood vessels and accelerating the blood flow to the skin. Under the stimulation of alcohol, the blood stored in the liver and other parts of the human body would also flow to the surface of the body. Even if it was only the skin that felt warm, it could make people feel much more comfortable.
However, it was still necessary to make it clear that drinking to warm the body was not as popular as the rumors said. Drinking wine in winter to warm the body and so on were all excuses given by people who liked to drink.
Because this kind of heat was only temporary, the heat consumed due to the accelerated heat dissipation of the body was more than the heat provided by alcohol.
When the effect of alcohol passed, a large amount of heat stored in the body was released outside the body. Because of the effect of alcohol, the blood vessels could not contract in time to prevent the blood from releasing heat. The body's ability to resist the cold was reduced, causing people to have goosebumps all over. This was the so-called "cold after drinking." Many people felt cold after drinking.
If the car couldn't start and the air conditioner couldn't work properly, drinking wasn't a wise choice.
"Mr. Jiu, you should drink less." Gu Qiya jumped out of the car. "The car can't start. Maybe it's too cold."
When Jiuqian Xiu heard this, he shook his head helplessly, "If it can't be activated, the result will be the same whether I drink it or not, so I have nothing to worry about."
"Drinking a small amount of alcohol in winter is good for the body, but drinking too much alcohol will not only hurt the stomach, but also the liver and increase the burden on the heart. Drinking too much in winter is the most likely to cause heart disease. This is based on scientific evidence." Gu Qiya said, "Drinking more than one ounce is considered excessive."
Jiuqian Xiu laughed, "One tael is not enough for me to drink."
"Miss Gu is saying this for your own good." Lin Ge also came over and said, "It's fine for us young people to drink a few mouthfuls to feel warm. Our bodies are still young, but for people over fifty years old to rely on alcohol to keep out the cold in winter is not a wise choice.
Gu Qiya also said, "When people get older, they are not very sensitive to changes in body temperature. If drinking causes the central regulation of body temperature to be disrupted, it is easier to damage the thermoregulation function. It is very dangerous."
"We're only telling you this because you saved us from that place." Lin Ge added, "We don't want to talk to people who are unrelated to us even if they drink themselves to death."
Jiuqian Xiu just smiled silently and didn't listen to their advice. He continued to drink two mouthfuls, "Don't worry, I won't drink too much. I'll just drink a little."
"You don't have to say more. Mr. Jiu Lao must be clear." Xu Yun said, "He has lived here for a long time. He must know how to keep out the cold better than us."
"Yes! To keep out the cold, you need to eat nutritious and high-calorie food, so that it can help the body increase heat. The second is to strengthen the warmth. " Jiuqian Xiu picked up the bottle and glanced at it, but he didn't continue to drink, "If you simply rely on drinking to keep out the cold, you won't be able to withstand the cold. I know that drinking to keep out the cold is not advisable. The saying that drinking promotes blood circulation and is good for the joints is nonsense. Hahaha, the heat produced by alcohol is limited. It is only harmful to the joints. There is no benefit at all. "
Xu Yun smiled slightly. At Jiuqian Xiu's age, he could still pull the sleigh and walk so far in the ice and snow. There must be no problem with his joints. He must know how to protect his body better than all his peers and how to maintain his health.
Jiuqian Xiu put the wine aside, "Actually, I haven't drunk for many, many years."
"It doesn't look like it. You should be quite good at drinking, right?" Lin Ge smiled, "It's only been a few mouthfuls. You have already drunk half the bottle."
"I used to be quite good at drinking, but I stopped drinking when I moved to this place." Jiuqian Xiu shook his head, "Long-term drinking will accelerate the loss of bone calcium, leading to weak feet and back pain. Moreover, frequent drinking will lead to the synthesis of endogenous cholesterol, increasing plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, causing atherosclerosis … I didn't feel it when I was young, but I can clearly feel it when I'm older. It's not worth it to suffer for the rest of my life just to drink a mouthful of wine every day. "
Xu Yun had opened the engine cover. He had no time to discuss with them whether drinking was good or bad for the body. It was meaningless.
Patients with alcohol addiction would always lose all their senses for a mouthful of wine. They would not care about anything. Even if they knew that they might be hospitalized the next day after drinking, they would still enjoy it.
People who were not addicted to alcohol would never understand what people with alcohol addiction were thinking. To put it simply, it was no different from taking drugs. It could not be quit. It was harmful to the body and had no benefit.
"Pigeon, bring me the battery I asked you to prepare for me," Xu Yun said.
When the weather was too cold, it was easy to cause this situation even if the car battery did not lose electricity. It was all because it was too cold.
When Gu Qiya ignited the engine just now, Xu Yun heard the sound. At first, it was a crackling sound. There was no response. When she ignited the engine, it became a sizzling sound.
After Lin Ge brought the battery that Xu Yun had prepared in advance, Xu Yun asked him to bring the prepared oil. Now he had to change some oil because the viscosity of the oil would increase when the weather was cold. It would be difficult for the oil to flow, which would increase the engine resistance.
Changing some new oil would more or less help.
"Go and see the degree of freezing of the exhaust pipe. Find something that can be burned to defrost it." Xu Yun said to Lin Ge, who brought the oil.
After preparing all this, Xu Yun used the tools in the car to drain the oil and replaced it with new oil. Then, he connected the battery. After Lin Ge melted the ice on the exhaust pipe, he asked Gu Qiya to try again.
Xu Yun asked Gu Qiya to refuel the car when she tried to turn the key again. She had to continuously step on the accelerator. When the car was about to start, she had to release the accelerator. This could prevent the car from being damaged by stepping on the accelerator. It would be troublesome if the car was damaged.
After a while, the car finally started normally. After starting the car, they drove very slowly to let the car adapt.
The air conditioner had warm air, which also raised the temperature in the car a lot. The few of them finally felt more comfortable in the car.
The car was modified very well. There was a small window between the cockpit and the trunk that could be opened. This way, the warm air could also be poured into the trunk.
After the two Alaskan Dogs ate some more, they fell asleep in the trunk of the car. It was probably the first time in their lives that they enjoyed this kind of air-conditioning treatment.
The car could finally drive at a normal speed. Xu Yun and the others also drove south overnight. The farther they were from the northern area, the higher the temperature was. They probably didn't want to stay in this damn place for a minute.
Jiuqian Xiu closed his eyes in the car, but he did not fall asleep.
After meeting Xu Yun, he had too many emotions. It also reminded him of too many things in his past. In this case, it would be difficult for anyone to fall asleep again.
Gu Qiya also had a lot of questions to ask, especially about Jiuqian Xiu and Xu Yun's parents. This made her very curious, but she didn't know if Jiuqian Xiu was willing to talk about this issue, so she didn't mention this topic.
If Jiuqian Xiu was willing to talk about it, she believed that he would definitely talk about it.
