Chapter 13 For Life
The next day, when the sky was just slightly bright, Zou Yu couldn't wait to get up, called Fangzheng, Fangzhi, and went straight to the river, he was looking forward to the harvest.
"Wow!" The bamboo cage was out of the water, and before it went ashore, the sound of "crackling" was heard continuously.
"Haha! There are fish! There really are fish! Fang Zhi laughed out loud in surprise.
Fang Zheng also stared at Zou Yu with an incredulous expression, he couldn't imagine an empty cage, and there were really fish in it.
"That's a lot!" Fang Zhi lifted the bamboo cage suddenly, looked at the five palm-sized fish inside, and said happily.
"Go, go, go to the next one." Carrying the fish cage, Fang Zhi couldn't wait to urge.
One after another, the cages were lifted from the water, more than a dozen, less than one or two, several pounds of the big ones, and the small ones were also the size of a palm, because the small ones were leaking out, which was rushed out, and the gap was very large.
Fang Zhi had already gone back with two cages full of fish, which stunned everyone, because at first they didn't think that putting the empty cage into the river was to catch fish, and thought that this was a preliminary preparation.
Many people came to help, and soon it was counted that more than 30 catties of fish and some wild vegetables were enough for half of the people to cook.
"Haha! Xiao Yu is too powerful! This is much less stressful, and today I am arranging twenty people to make fish cages! Zhang Zhongjian laughed and patted Zou Yu on the shoulder.
"We also have to think about it in the future, I suggest digging a fish pond to come out, raising more of it, and eating it in winter." Zou Yu rubbed his numb shoulders and said.
"Okay, no problem, there are so many fields outside the village, if you trim them, you can use them as fish ponds." Liu Jin said immediately.
"In the past, most of the fields were winter paddy fields, because there were no pumps, so there was water in the fields at any time, and it is estimated that the young ones had not seen it, and there were fish, loaches, and yellow eels in the fields, and there were a lot of them. 》
The harvest was very large, and it stimulated everyone's motivation at once, and after making the bamboo basket, he immediately put it into work again, this time Zou Yu asked people to tie the internal organs of the fish in a cage with water and grass, and he believed that the harvest would be more tomorrow.
The harvest of hunting is also good, but the prey is limited after all, so Zou Yu suggested that the meat should be dried into jerky first, and stored, there are also a lot of wild vegetables, although it is not a troubled time, but the people will still collect wild vegetables as miscellaneous grains in the free season.
Fortunately, it is also this sparsely populated world, where there are a lot of wild animals, and the harvest is very impressive. At the same time, some people set traps, which is also Zou Yu's suggestion, make a looper with a straw rope, insert it into the ground with a wooden stick, and put it on the edge of the mountain stream. Zou Yu still remembers that when he was a child, he often followed his uncle in the yard and went up the mountain to set rabbits together.
There were more than 200 people who went up to the mountains to hunt, and for three consecutive days, black bears, wolves, and foxes fought a lot, and the most powerful was Zhang Zhongjian, who killed a huge Siberian tiger alone, a tiger the size of a calf, which simply made the soldiers shocked him.
Although Zou Yu and the others did not kill the beasts, the bamboo baskets became more and more, and more than 300 bamboo baskets of different sizes were stabilized for dozens of catties of harvest, which was proper. And every day is still increasing the number of bamboo baskets, thanks to the blessing of this original ecological world, wild resources are quite abundant, a river, only occupies thousands of meters, there are so many harvests, let Uncle Wang and them do bamboo work, eager to immediately fill the river.
The big fish are eaten, the small fish are raised, and more than 500 people are running around every day for food, which is still amazingly efficient, at least they spent half a month hoarding more than a month of food.
On the third day of the eighth month of the eighth year of Daye, the scouts who went to find Yang Guang's main force had not yet returned, and the village was hundreds of miles away, and all of them were found out. They were already near Buyeo Fortress in Goguryeo, and they were more northeasterly, and the spies had already found several tribes.
"Here is the Murwei, Khitan, Xi, Xia, tribes, Murwei is divided into the south and the north of the Murwei, its chieftain is called "begging Mohedu", with a population of more than 200,000; The Khitan belongs to a small tribal alliance, with only tens of thousands of people in the eight tribes and five tribes in the Xi tribe, living in the mountains, mainly hunting, with a number of more than 100,000 or 200,000; I am afraid that many people have not heard of the name Xi, and their population is not small, it is said that there are tens of thousands of people. "Li Keshi, who has the most knowledge, popularized science to others.
"This place is good, there are many forces, Goguryeo should not come easily." Zhang Zhongjian nodded again and again.
"There are many forces, we are also dangerous, any tribe can destroy us." Liu Jin reminded.
"What are you afraid of! You may not be able to find us yet! Zhang Zhongjian was amused, and immediately choked up.
"Could it be that we have been sitting here all this time waiting for the beginning of spring?" Liu Jin gave him a blank look.
"It's better to find a small tribe and trade some salt, which is the most scarce material for us." Li Keshi rubbed his forehead and reminded.
"But what are we going to trade?" Liu Jin asked embarrassedly. In a word, everyone was asked, now it can be said that one is poor and two white, even if you want to trade, there is no way, this is exactly how it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and a penny is difficult to defeat a hero.
"It seems that there is only a robbery." Zhang Zhongjian's fists clenched loudly, and the murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
"Rob! What to grab it? We are just a few hundred people, it's okay to rob the village, these barbarians are all soldiers, can they fight? Liu Jin asked rhetorically.
"How can you not beat it! It is not very easy for a small barbarian, five hundred warriors, to destroy a tribe of several thousand people. Speaking of fighting, Zhang Zhongjian immediately replied very confidently.
"Well, even if you can fight, how many brothers will die, how many things can you rob? Which one to fight again? Are you familiar with the road? Give up the time to look for supplies to loot, and if you don't grab enough supplies, what will happen in the winter? Liu Jin asked rhetorically one after another.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! Say what to do! Zhang Zhongjian slapped the table angrily and said.
"What are you looking at me for?" Zou Yu listened to their argument and was thinking about what to do, when he suddenly found that he didn't speak, and they all stared at him, and he couldn't help but be startled, thinking that he was distracted.
"Whoever makes you kid have a lot of ideas, don't ask who you ask." Zhang Zhongjian got up and patted him and said.
Zou Yu smiled bitterly and rubbed his shoulders, and he didn't know why Zhang Zhongjian always remembered to shoot it, and he didn't change the position, every time it was the same place on the left.
After the crossing, Zou Yu was very satisfied with his current body, strong, tall, and not small, even the two muscle bumps of Fang Zheng and Fang Zhi were really slightly inferior to their strength, but there was one more powerful, which seemed to make his shoulder feel pain if he patted it inadvertently, and it would not hurt himself.
