Chapter 274 Open Source and Reduce Expenditure

Hutou Mountain is close to the slope of the river. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It is much easier to dig a hole on such a slope than on flat ground, because the mountain structure is almost entirely rocky, and as long as it is not destroyed too completely, there is absolutely no danger of collapse.

The team dug a shelter similar to the plank road here, the plank road is concave inward, the depth is more than ten meters, the erected rocks deliberately left on the plank road and outside can block the wind, after lighting a bonfire inside, the temperature will not lose so quickly, the temperature in the plank road will quickly rise, reaching a few degrees above zero, which is already a good result.

Almost all of these shelters are from Lin Xi's hands, and a few apprentices are fighting well now, but they can't do this kind of work, as the leader of the team, Lin Xi has been more miserable in the past two days.

After digging the plank road and settling everyone down, the time was almost four o'clock in the morning, and Lin Xi, who had not slept for two days and two nights, still could not rest, because according to the exploration of the fifty miles up and down the Tong River, it was found that there were very few fish in the Tong River, and this was obviously not good news.

Now the team consumes a lot of food every day, after all, in such a cold weather, if you want to maintain the temperature of your body, you must consume a lot of food, so Lin Xi had to call all the backbones of the team who can take care of things at four o'clock in the morning to have a meeting to discuss.

One person is short, two people are long, and three people can be Zhuge Liang, Lin Xi never thinks that he can do everything well, so listening to everyone's opinions is the best solution.

"Mom, how much food is left in our team now?" Lynsey asked.

As the team's logistics director, Wang Yanping knew best how much food was left in the team, so Lin Xi also asked Wang Yanping to attend the meeting.

"Now the team mainly has two kinds of food: rat meat and green locust meat, of which there are about 4,500 catties of rat meat and more than 6,700 catties of green locust meat." Wang Yanping reported two numbers very directly.

The reason why the meat of the green locust is a little more is because when I left from Rongcheng, I killed a lot of green locusts, and the meat of the alien rat was left over some time ago, and it only added up to more than 11,000 catties.

How much is 11,000 pounds? Obviously, there are not many, especially when there are 35,000 people eating, each person can only get three taels of meat, which is not even enough for a full meal.

"Everyone, you have heard, our current situation is very serious, if we can't find a new source of food, most of the team will starve to death, so tonight we have to find a way to solve the problem, do you have any way? Let's talk about it. Lindsey set the tone for the meeting: food issues.

Xiao Gun was the first to speak: "Master, we still have to find a way from Tonghe." ā€

"The key is that there are no fish in the river now?"

"There are fish, just less, tomorrow morning we will organize people to fish on a large scale, and now there are few abnormal creatures in the wild, and there are a lot less dangers, we can expand the range."

"Expand the range?"

"Well, Master, like a few of us, as well as the fifty third-generation disciples/sons who were the first to get started, if you are in a hurry, two or three hundred miles is not a problem, we can wrap up the river for two or three hundred miles, I don't believe that there are no fish in such a big river."

"This method is okay, but it is not enough, the fish are in the water, and now the river is frozen again, how much can you catch?"

"That's right, then Master is like this, tomorrow I will send someone to the far side of the river to investigate, if there are many fish, let them send the news back, Master should be able to catch fish easily."

Lin Xi nodded: "Okay, then do it, and let me know when the time comes." ā€

Then Zhang Xiaolei said: "Master, now that the plants are luxuriant, there should be a lot of wild vegetables that can be used as food, can we also organize a group of people to pick them on a large scale?" If you can eat it, it can be regarded as a stable food source. ā€

"If you want to pick wild vegetables, someone has to try it, after all, the plants are very different from before, even the mushrooms are poisonous, forget it, so let's do it, tomorrow you send someone to pick some wild vegetables back, get a little bit of everything, I'll try it."

Others are likely to be poisoned if they try it, but Lin Xi has no worries about this, but Lin Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, there is really no one under this hand who can stand alone, so he has to do everything.

Hengdao spoke at this time: "Master, aren't the rats still active now?" Tomorrow I'll walk around and see if I can find a few nests of rats. ā€

"Master, I'll go with my brother too." Xu Daguang also shouted.

Hengdao and Xu Daguang obviously prefer to fight, and since they took the initiative to ask Ying, of course Lin Xi agreed, and let them go out tomorrow as well.

Lin Xi told Wang Yanping that before the food problem is completely solved, the barbecue cannot be made, and all the meat can be made into broth, and it will be supported for a period of time as much as possible until the food crisis is resolved.

........

After the meeting, everyone should sleep and cultivate, and prepare to act separately after dawn.

Lin Xi was now able to use cultivation instead of sleeping, so he was also cultivating, and after cultivating for a few weeks, when the sky was slightly bright, Lin Xi's ears moved.

He stopped cultivating, and his face was a little puzzled, because he seemed to have heard a strange sound just now.

Lin Xi jumped out of the cave and jumped directly to the top of a tree, first observing the movement of the team, the night vigil was holding their posts, and there were no anomalous creatures attacking.

"Did I hear me wrong?" Lin Xi shook his head directly, with his current ability, there would hardly be a time to hear it wrong.

Another person popped out of the cave, Lin Xi saw that it was Zhang Xiaolei, he beckoned to Zhang Xiaolei, and Zhang Xiaolei also jumped to the tree: "Xiaolei, did you hear the movement too?" ā€

Zhang Xiaolei nodded: "Yes, Master, so I came out to take a look, Master, do you know what the movement is?" ā€

Lin Xixin said that Zhang Xiaolei's strength has improved very quickly: "I just came out, I don't know yet, but it should be quite far away from us, oh, listen, here again." ā€

This time Lynsey heard it clearly, it was a whining sound.

"The sound of a whistle? Train? Impossible, right? "Lynsey was surprised, there were still people driving trains at this time?

"Master, it's not the sound of a whistle, it's actually the sound of a conch, the sound of blowing out of a conch, which I used to blow when I went to the beach to play." Zhang Xiaolei couldn't help but smile and said.

"Ahem..."Lin Xi was a little embarrassed, and then forcibly reversed the topic: "Who would blow a conch in this early morning?" Sick, right? ā€

"Master, will there be a team over there? Would you like to go over and have a look? ā€

Lin Xi groaned, and finally nodded, ready to go over and take a look, in such an environment, it is not easy to meet some people in the wild, and the most important thing is that if the opposite side is also a team, then it is likely to have food, maybe you can get some. (To be continued.) )
