Chapter 3 The Hunt

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival of another year, and Mingyue Village ushered in the most beautiful moonlight, Li Xiang took a petty bourgeoisie and took Liu Susu to see the moon for half the night. The brook was sparkling, and the sleepy Liu Susu leaned on Li Xiang's shoulder. In the grass behind them, Xiong Chengwu and Yang Jianchuan, who were staring, widened their eyes......

The thatched huts that served as makeshift classrooms are gone, replaced by two large, three small and five adobe houses. The two large rooms are for boys and girls, two of the three primary schools are the bedrooms of Li Xiang and Liang Susu, and the other room is for some miscellaneous items and the like.

These five adobe houses were built by the parents of the village and craftsmen such as Zeng carpenter Lei Blacksmith, and Li Xiang paid the price of hundreds of fish for this.

Li Xiang and Liang Susu were standing on the edge of the leveled playground, pleasantly watching the bear children and girls who were sweating profusely in "121". Li Xiang's interests in the fish passage did not move at all, and all of them were used to subsidize the food of these teenagers, and many people did not understand.

But Li Xiang once found the scars left by Lao Huang at the bedside, and he was anxious to protect himself in the face of death threats, and these teenagers were his great reliance.

Nutrition has been guaranteed, and Mengxue has more than 20 teenagers in height and weight, and in more than a year, they have risen wildly, and some have even surpassed Li Xiang.

It's embarrassing to think about, Li Xiang is just 180, can it be said that the physical condition of the Great Zhou people is so good? What he didn't know was that the average height of northern men in the Han and Tang dynasties in this time and space had reached 178, and according to this standard, Li Xiang was just qualified.

Since Yudao was handed over to Mengxue in the cottage, the people of Mingyue Village, who are quite Chinese-style, have driven their bear children to Li Xiang, even the girls. So Li Xiang handed over the girl to Liang Susu to take with him, and Liang Susu also enjoyed it.

Liang Susu found that Li Xiang looked at him again, and he looked intoxicated, and he was about to flow out, so he had to forcibly interrupt him. "Hey! What are you thinking? ”

"Oh, didn't think about anything, what's wrong?"

"How did you come up with this Chinese pinyin?,It's a little weird but it feels very easy to use.。 And what kind of Araber numbers and multiplication tables, I can't tell you're pretty smart. ”

"It's nothing, it's all commonly used in our hometown, and there are a lot of things that haven't been taken out, so it will scare you. The other one is called Arabic numerals, thank you. ”

"You me! You've always said that your home is far away, where is your home? ”

"In Cheng... No, in ...... Australia! Li Xiang was careless for a moment and almost said Chengdu.

"Huh? You're fooling me......"

Recently, the relationship between Liang Susu and Li Xiang has improved by leaps and bounds, and the last layer of window paper is missing. Lao Tzu is 19 years old this year, Liang Susu has just turned 16, and it will be just right after two or three years.

After arguing with Su Su, Li Xiang took a group of teenagers to take a bath in a bathhouse not far away. The public bathhouse and the village soldiers' canteen were also suggestions made by Li Xiang to the lord of Liu Zhai, because the huge advantage of saving firewood and charcoal was quickly adopted by the village.

Due to the concentrated use of fuel and materials, the bathhouses and canteens have achieved good results, saving a lot of charcoal and supplies. Li Xiang has been in this world for more than a year, and Mingyuezhai has finally begun to change something because of his relationship.

Ever since Liang Susu was sent to his side to help, or monitor, Li Xiang began to understand that Mingyuezhai was not as utopian as it seemed. At least judging from the high-level controversy in the village relayed by Liang Susu, there are many small and medium-sized groups in the village.

When there are many people, there will be groups, which is normal, and if the interests of groups are not aligned, there will be fights and conflicts.

The benefits of the fish passage found this time are not very large, and with the backing of the owner of the village, Li Xiang is only barely keeping his position, but what about next time?

Li thought about it and found that the key to self-preservation and breaking the game was still in these bear children. Hehe, your children listen to me, and you still don't bow down?

In this era, it is not enough to cultivate the teenagers of Mingyuezhai well, and it is not enough to only learn literature. Although he doesn't know much about the military, Li Xiang is still very clear about some of the physical training in the modern army, after all, he has also been trained in the military, and it is just right to exercise these teenagers.

So after half a month, the villagers began to see a group of children walking around with bamboo guns and big shields. Parents of all families saw that their children were serious and funny, and they were all cute.

But Li Xiang is not funny, and these trainings are far from being as simple as they seem on the surface.

In the bathroom, Xiong Chengwu and Yang Jianchuan were talking. Yang Jianchuan is the son of a small leader in the cottage, and Xiong Chengwu formed Li Xiang's second general, and together with Xiong Chengwu, he helped Li Xiang discover the fish passage.

"Master's training is so strange, running also has frog steps, push-ups and so on. My father said that he didn't know about the bells and whistles, but he still had to fight hard. Yang Jianchuan looked like a little adult and whispered to Xiong.

Xiong Chengwu disdains to think about too complicated issues, and has always told the truth, "My father said that the master's training has great wisdom, let me follow and study hard, some of which even my father can't understand." No matter what happens, it's right to follow the Master. ”

"That's right, if you have enough to eat with the master, you can still learn to read and write, and the master also said that he would find a way to make winter clothes for us." Yang Jianchuan sighed, and then left the sprinkler to get dressed, thinking that he had lost his words just now. My father said that I should be cautious in my words and deeds, but I still don't have any memory.

Equipping Mengxue's teenagers with winter clothes is Li Xiang's idea after careful consideration. The winter of Dazhou is very cold, and the Xiangyang area can reach minus 15 degrees, and it is common for ordinary people to be unable to afford winter clothes and charcoal, and it is common for them to freeze to death.

In this society, where the textile industry is seriously unable to meet the demand, winter clothes are a great burden even for the families of small and medium-sized landlords. Just think about it, cotton clothes are tribute, and the people at the bottom can wrap some broken paper and sawdust in linen, which is very good.

So some people, including Lao Huang, waited to see Li Xiang's jokes. Everyone has a winter coat, you think this is the Great Zhou Palace, and you can't afford to buy it if you sell it!

Li Xiang heard that cotton in this era was very expensive and it was still a tribute, so he cut off the idea of making cotton clothes. Fur? This one really sold and he couldn't buy a few, so Li Xiang had an idea and hit the idea on the sackcloth, paper, and feathers.

Last year, due to the large demand for Mengxue, Li Xiang studied papermaking with several craftsmen such as Zeng Carpenter. The embarrassing thing is that the paper made cannot be made with ink, but it can be used with a pencil, and it is also suitable for hand paper, the pencil is commissioned by Li Xiang to be made by a mason named Zhen Laoshi, and he knows that he is very honest when he hears the name.

Li Xiang planned to use the paper, linen and other materials produced by the village to press and beat the paper and then brush it with tung oil, and then add a layer of animal feathers to make armor-type thermal clothing. This kind of thermal clothing is equivalent to a combination of a monkey version of a down jacket and paper armor, which keeps warm while also has a certain armor effect.

This is the best way Li Xiang can come up with at the moment, he was half frozen to death because he was not prepared last year. This year, Li Xiang not only put a dragon in his house, but also after hearing that the Han water would be frozen this winter, he and Carpenter and others improved the plan every day, and strive to make practical cold-proof clothing as soon as possible.

Li Xiang knows very well that the best way to ensure his safety is to continuously improve his value and status. Therefore, even with fish passages and hunting as food sources, considering that Mengxue consumed a lot of rice, pasta, salt, cloth and other materials in the village, Li Xiang still tried every means to increase the financial resources of the village.

The cold-proof clothing has not yet been made, and it cannot be sold out as a new source of income, so Li thought about hunting. After all, group hunting has a lot in common with fighting, and it is a very effective form of exercise, not to mention that you can get prey from time to time.

Because most of the young men and women were busy farming, and the village soldiers also had to guard the village, Li Xiang took a group of people from Wu Yangyang, but the harvest was good.

So Mingyue Village often has the scene of Li Xiang taking young people up the mountain to hunt, and the harvest is handed over to the public middle school, and the rest is also regarded as some subsidies.
