Chapter 12 Settlement

"Okay, now the vote begins, if anyone agrees to move on, please raise your hand!" There was another silence, and Zhang Zhongjian asked. He had already believed Zou Yu's judgment and analysis, so he asked who left first, so that those who had not yet made up their minds would hesitate.

"It seems that everything has been decided, so let's choose a place to live and wait until the spring of next year to decide to stay." Zhang Zhongjian looked around and immediately made a decision.

"Although I decided to stay, I still have to arrange for someone to find out the news of the army." Li Keshi said.

"Of course, if we can leave, we should fix it." Zhang Zhongjian nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, the news was notified, and unexpectedly, no one objected, but they all breathed a sigh of relief, which made Li Keshi, who wanted to go back early, also dispelled the last trace of thought.

It took another two days, heading upstream, to finally find a very nice place, an abandoned village. Backed by mountains and rivers, the location is remote.

People who have been living in the wilderness for a few months are still very happy to be able to live in the house, and they are very enthusiastic about repairing the house.

Things are always one thing after another, settle down, and think about how to live, this season, if you want to grow food, it must be too late.

"Let's think about it, how to get food next, now we have a total of five hundred and eleven people, so many people have to eat, with the current grain storage, we can only hold on for five days, and after five days, we will all be hungry." Zhang Zhongjian knocked on the table and said.

"Let's hunt, it's only hunting at the moment." Liu Jin frowned.

"Check to see if there are any villages nearby." Li Keshi suggested, as for finding it, needless to say, it must be robbed.

"Xiao Yu, what about you, what do you think?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"We first need to assign work, make reasonable use of personnel, and leave people with limited mobility to repair houses and cook; Now the season is good, you can collect more wild vegetables, dry them for winter, hunting must arrange the most people, but it is best to choose experienced people, the river outside the village is not big, but it is not small, there must be a lot of fish, it is also a kind of supply. Zou Yu rubbed his forehead and suggested.

"Good way, division of labor and cooperation, according to my opinion, everything will be carried out at the same time, and the hunting will be left to me." Zhang Zhongjian agreed.

"Dingfang, you take twenty clever people, check if there are any other people within a radius of 100 miles, and you are also going west to inquire about the news of the army." Li Keshi instructed the thick-eyed and big-eyed young man who had handed Zou Yu water.

"Yes! Captain! "Although everyone is now basically abiding by the military superiors and subordinates, other times they are more like family and friends. Zou Yu noticed that this young man was meticulous about etiquette every time.

"This is a very disciplined and square person. More upright than the two called righteous ones who often follow me. Zou Yu thought wildly.

"Cut the wood, gather the wild vegetables, and leave it to me." Li Keshi continued.

"Then I'll be in charge of repairing the house, guarding the village, and doing some chores, but the water is so deep that fishing is a little difficult!" Liu Jin scratched his hair and said.

"Leave the fishing matter to me, just give me a few people who can do bamboo work, Uncle Liu, you still have to let people make some tools first, and now everyone is eating, and they are almost caught by hand." Zou Yu took the initiative to say.

If you want to catch fish, he is a veteran, since he was a child, he went down to the river to touch the fish, catch loaches, he has a whole set of experience, and now people eat fish, generally fishing, or in the river, caught in the field, plus the fish is spiny, ordinary people have no spices, even salt is not enough, so there is eating, no one deliberately gets, only rich and noble people, only like to eat fish.

"There is no problem, many people can do bamboo work, and no one can make a few baskets or something like that." Liu Jin agreed without hesitation.

After the meeting ended, they began to get busy, and Zou Yu was also divided into ten subordinates and came to the bamboo forest outside the village.

"Yu Wazi, what do you say, what are you going to do?" Although Zou Yu participates in decision-making meetings every time, he has no official position, and others like to call him by his nickname.

"Uncle Wang, we have to use bamboo to make a fish basket-like thing, with a big belly and a small mouth, the fish can't run out when they go in, the key is on this mouth, a little below the mouth, make it into a gourd shape, and then let the bamboo stick stretch out irregularly." Zou Yu took a branch and drew a plausible picture on the ground.

Fortunately, Uncle Wang and the others did not disappoint him, they just said it again and immediately understood.

"It's easy, let's do it!" Uncle Wang waved his hand and led the others to start cutting bamboo.

"Well, you don't have to be too delicate, as long as the fish can't run out, it's okay, it's better to be bigger." Zou Yu said happily, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly, but soon he was embarrassed, because he didn't know how to work.

"You'll just wait, half an hour, and you'll be done." Uncle Wang didn't mind, and waved him to the side to watch.

"Huh! There are also bamboo shoots, which are good, not bad, and can be dug up and dried. While wandering around, Zou Yu made another discovery.

"Mushrooms are not bad, but you need to pay attention not to be poisoned, wild vegetables, wild fruits, also good, but settle down, you should also pay attention to hygiene, at least you can't drink raw water, now the most headache is nothing, the bowl is not enough, Liu Jin has already led someone to make wood."

Time was spent in Zou Yu's thinking, and soon ten bamboo baskets with a length of nearly one meter were made.

Zou Yu took two people to carry the bamboo basket back to the village, found two toilets and threw them in.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu! What are you doing throwing this into a? In order to listen to the story, Fang Zheng, who was willing to call his brother, the two brothers, dropped the trunk on their shoulders, and came over and asked.

"Catch fish." Zou Yu said lightly.

"There's fish in there?" Fang Zhi looked at the dung pit with a shocked expression.

"Or you go down and have a look!" Zou Yu glanced at him and said in a flickering manner.

"Brother Yu, I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid." Fang Zhi said with a look of resentment.

"You're just a fool, Brother Yu got something, just follow it, think so much, you elm head, can you figure it out?" Fang Zheng squirted at his younger brother.

"It's like you're smart." Fang Zhi hid to the side and muttered quietly.

Ignoring these two guys with muscles full of brains, Zou Yu continued to lead people to carry the bamboo basket.

For a whole day, I made 80 bamboo baskets, soaked them for an hour, loaded them with a stone, and sank them to the bottom of the river.

It wasn't until it got dark that I took it
