Chapter 40: Night Watch
Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, this performance seemed to be a bit too much just now, "It was taught by my father." ”
only pushed it on Zheng San.
Unexpectedly, the light in Xiao Jie's eyes became brighter, "Your father is so powerful!" Xiaozhi, you, can you teach me too? ”
"No problem." Zhiwen happily agreed, "Uh, Xiao Jie, you are responsible for teaching the Great Pillar Spear Piercing Technique and that..."
The meditation practice in the third picture has no name yet, usually they use "this" and "that" instead, everyone knows what they are talking about, but after all, there are times when the expression is not clear, so let's just take advantage of the name now.
What's it called? Zhiwen didn't bother to think about it, and used the conventional name of martial arts novels - internal strength.
"That's... Internal strength, start tonight. Zhiwen continued.
"Oh? What we practice is called internal strength? Xiao Jie asked with interest.
"Hmm." Zhiwen nodded, secretly glad that he changed the topic in time, I want to talk about this map, and I don't know how many words to find.
"By the way, Xiao Jie, from tonight onwards, everyone will be responsible for taking turns to be on duty at night, and you will be responsible for arranging this matter in the future." Zhiwen was trying to sleep, but he always felt that he had forgotten something, and when he suddenly remembered it, he was secretly frightened, after all, he had no experience in the army, and he almost forgot to be vigilant when sleeping in the wild.
"This is very important, especially when it is the turn of the person on duty at night, everyone's safety is all on you." Zhiwen did not forget to explain the importance of being on duty.
"Zhiwen, how can you be worth the night?" Dazhu asked.
"Ugh." Zhiwen was speechless, and was about to spit out a grote about Dazhu, but saw that the others were also looking at him one by one, obviously not knowing how to be on duty at night.
This...? It seems that it is normal not to be on duty at night, but I know how it is abnormal to be on duty at night?
Zhiwen sorted out the content about night duty in later novels, movies and television in his mind, and picked out a few things that he thought were important to tell everyone.
First of all, we must protect the bonfire, neither let the fire be too strong, let alone let it go out, heating in cold weather, repelling insects in summer, and deterring wild beasts, all of which are inseparable from it.
Secondly, you should pay attention to the surrounding situation, the focus is to prevent the invasion of wild beasts and outsiders, deal with small things by yourself, do not affect the rest of others, big things, or you can't judge whether it is a big or small event, you should warn others in time and wake everyone up.
Others, such as light and dark double whistles, secret passwords, etc., are not needed for the time being, so let's talk about them later.
"That's it, I'll help Xiao Jie combine the people on duty at night first," everyone is used to the strange words that come out of Zhiwen's mouth from time to time, such as the "combination" in this sentence just now, which has never been heard of before, but as soon as Zhiwen says it, he can understand what it means.
"I, Aunt Song, am on night duty alone, Dazhu and Xiaojie are together, Nannan, Niuniu and Xiaoying are on night together." After speaking, he sighed slightly in his heart, the three little girls are only about six years old, and they will be little princesses in the next life, but now in order to survive, they have to be at night at a young age.
"Let's work hard tonight, I'm the first to be on duty, and the three of you are on duty for the second time, so don't sleep first, follow me to learn, and when you are on duty at night, then follow the next round in advance." Zhiwen is using the method of passing on the help, and teaching it one by one.
"The order of night duty in the back will be arranged by Xiao Jie." Zhiwen doesn't want to take care of everything by himself, he is very optimistic about Xiaojie, he has read books, has ideas, is careful, and is willing to do things, so add a burden to him.
"Will you all be on duty like this in the future? Xiao Zhi. Xiao Jie did not shirk it, and naturally used the word "invention" in Zhiwen.
"Not necessarily," Zhiwen thought for a while, "It's better to complement each other, or to be strong and weak, let's arrange it like this first, and then you can adjust it later." ”
"And how long is each round worth?" Xiao Jie asked again.
Zhiwen is blind now, a total of four groups of people, each group of people for an hour, that is, two hours is about the same, this will be in the future generations, how simple it is, first to the watch or mobile phone time, to the point to shout the next group of people, but now how can there be a watch and mobile phone? How do you know if it's time?
Jiangnan may have that kind of heavy grandfather clock, not to mention that Zhiwen can't get it now, even if he gets it, it's not practical.
"Each group is worth an hour," Zhiwen was very helpless, "everyone estimates the time by themselves, and wakes up the next round of people when it's almost time." ”
The fire in front of the shack burned quietly, occasionally making a "crackling" sound, and the girl sat beside Zhiwen and leaned on him.
"Brother, do people have souls when they die?" Nan Nan asked suddenly.
Zhiwen accepted atheism before crossing, and subconsciously wanted to answer no at first, but when he thought of his crossing, he saw Xiaoying and Niuniu looking at him expectantly, and swallowed the word "no" vividly.
"I don't know." Zhiwen didn't say yes, "However, I think if my father and mother have spirits, they will secretly protect us and take care of us." ”
"Really? Zhiwen! ”
Zhiwen turned around, but saw Dazhu sitting behind him at some point, looking at him with blank eyes.
"Why don't you sleep, Dazhu? It's not yet your night. Zhiwen asked softly.
"Can't sleep, Zhiwen, is what you just said true?" Dazhu continued to ask.
"As long as you believe it, it's true!"
"Oh!"
The sleeves on Zhiwen's arms have been soaked with a small piece of Nannan's tears.
Xiaoying and Niuniu also buried their heads in their knees, their shoulders trembling slightly, and they were sobbing silently.
A light breeze blew, and the few sticks of firewood that Zhiwen had just added were ignited, and the fire grew bigger, adding a touch of warmth to these children who had lost their parents.
......
The system panel hung silently in front of Zhiwen, who had opened a new field for ten gold coins a few months ago, but it had been empty before he could find a suitable crop.
If there is little land, then you have to think about what to plant to be cost-effective, and if you plant it randomly, you will have to shovel it and waste it when the time comes.
"Xiaozhi, you see, I picked a lot of wild vegetables today, and I can save a lot of grain." Xiao Yingniang stepped on the sunset and returned to the shack and handed a few handfuls of wild vegetables to Zhiwen to see.
As the sun was about to set, Zhiwen looked carefully, it was still those ordinary, common leafy green vegetables, with cellulose but lack starch, and they were inferior to alfalfa in the system in terms of nutrition and appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head.
He now needs to grow what looks like wild vegetables, or wild fruits, that are rich in starch, and that can replace wheat and sorghum.
It's not that the wheat and sorghum in the warehouse are gone, but that the wheat and sorghum noodles will only get less and less in the future from other deserters, and their own group of people still have something to eat, which is too conspicuous.
In the first few days when he came out of the village, Zhiwen was in a hurry, he set off at dawn, and he rested when the sun set, so that he could leave here as soon as possible.
In his opinion, the grain and alfalfa in the warehouse are enough for everyone to eat, so there is no need to waste that time, it was Xiao Yingniang who unintentionally reminded him.
Xiao Yingniang is used to being thrifty, although this food Zhiwen can always be magically taken out, and she doesn't need to worry, but she always thinks that there won't be much, and she always thinks that she can save a little is a little.
Now is the season when the wild vegetables grow well, and they have not yet walked to the road, and there are very few people who have fled, looking at the wild vegetables on the side of the road, Xiao Yingniang finally couldn't help but reach out and pick a few handfuls one day, and added a dish to everyone when she rested at night.
Zhiwen drank the wild vegetable soup handed over by Xiao Yingniang, and then realized that he had made a mistake.
A few days ago, I was stunned to drive away the demons, and I didn't expect that even if everyone was coated with weed juice on their faces, but because the food was different from others, they had good physical strength, and they walked fast, how could there be a little bit of a refugee who couldn't eat enough, but fortunately, this had not yet reached the official road, and there were few people who fled, and it did not attract the attention of others.
I forgot about looking for new seeds, and the field had been blooming for months.
From that day on, Zhiwen asked everyone to slow down, like other refugees, digging wild vegetables while hurrying on the road, and when they rested at night, they should also make a fire, cook and cook, eat the wild vegetables first, and then find a processing workshop if they don't have enough to eat.
It's just that since then, the speed of travel has decreased a lot, and the sorghum and wheat dare not eat more, and even after a while they will not be able to eat, so it becomes very urgent to find a substitute for them to plant, preferably the kind that the harvest period is not long.
