Chapter 432: Winter Famine Strikes Again
For a long time in the next few days, we are all solving the problems before the arrival of this winter, many things, cumbersome, especially the original white dew, many logistics can be put down, but now there is no extra manpower to arrange, so all the workload can't help but increase a lot.
Fortunately, God rewards hard work, and we all work hard these days, and things are slowly starting to ease up.
After the blacksmith shop recovered, it began to make the plow, by making the plow, the plow, the plow, etc., by making the zero combination, the wood part of the combination, and finally the plow shovel, the plow wall and other iron products were made, placed on it, and then through other parts such as the forehead, the pressure shovel, etc., it was fixed, and after a few trials, it was found to be available, and the plow was completed.
The completion of the plough is mainly for breaking the land and plowing the grooves, and now I am planning to move all the farmland to the hillside, so this equipment needs to be made in advance, and then one day, Yun Wen put the rope on the body of the worker ants, and use the way to communicate with them, teach them how to act as oxen to operate the plough, and then I pushed the plow handle behind my back, and the huge worker ants pulled the mop part in front, so as to use its huge strength, my cooperation direction operation, soon the land was loosened and broken, It is conducive to sowing seeds and farming.
It took half a day to finish the whole hillside, and planted the potatoes and wheat of the species, as well as the complete few plants were also planted, which basically completed the restoration of the farmland, but at the same time, it also sacrificed a lot of potatoes that should have been eaten, due to the loss of a large amount of farmland before, it was necessary to re-select and plant from the potatoes that should have been eaten, which lost a considerable amount, so the winter food storage, even more nervous.
In addition, the mermaid is now in the recovery period, and the seafood cannot be traded for a while, and our blacksmith shop has recently resumed operation, and at the same time, we need to hurry up and continue to complete the progress of those spinning machines, otherwise the wool will not be used, and the hyena people will still be idle in the winter to keep warm.
The blacksmith shop has now become an important production center, and it is not able to provide any handicrafts for the time being, after all, you must first ensure basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then you can think about those business and other things.
In terms of urban construction, with the help of worker ants, and those hyena people are already veterans, I don't need to stare at it, first temporarily plug the gap in the city wall with some useless boards, beware of night beasts and wolves come here to take away sheep or hurt hyena people, affecting the safety of the little hyena people, and houses and the like, if they recover, they will live first, and the hyena people are not too buried, and they can squeeze as many as they can to sleep.
The rest of the weak, pregnant, and young people, during the night, when the weather is cold, let them crowd on the first floor of our house, sleep on the floor, and take care of it first, and if they can't squeeze it down, they can only go to the tunnel for a day or two.
In terms of food, we are now in short supply, although we have no intention of getting a dead cow, which can be eaten for a long time when pickled, but the food on the Hyena Man's side is already insufficient, after a while, when I recently checked the food, those baskets that were originally full have begun to gradually empty, there are only six dried fish left, shrimp balls, crab balls and so on are only a handful, and potatoes are now only more than fifty because they are used for planting, which is not enough for the hyena man for a week.
The key is that now there is no way to get in and out, there is no consumption and no replenishment, this time there are so many mouths, it may be really difficult to survive for a while, I am thinking that if it is really not possible, I can only go to the forest to hunt, so as to survive the crisis, but I can't agree with this idea, not to mention that now I have made friends with the righteous daughter of the so-called mountain god, if I take the initiative to slaughter the creatures in the mountains, I always feel that it will bring ominous.
There is also the question of Bai Lu's whereabouts, saying that he went to the West Island, since Lingshang asked me not to mention it again, I rarely mention about the West Island, but I don't mention it, but the more I say don't mention it, the more I covet and warn about it in my heart, I want to know all the crises in advance, which is trained for a long time.
Therefore, now the dog days are already flying, I sometimes take advantage of their busy time, ride the dog to the border of the West Island to see the situation, if the dog dog can't fly, then to climb over the end of the city wall mountain, and then go down to the bottom of the mountain in the west, and then move more than ten kilometers, that is basically impossible, the first time not to go, the second not to have that time to work, but to go back quickly.
But now that you have the dog days that can fly, it's not so difficult, and you can go up and down in a leap, and it doesn't take much time to go and go back and forth, as a leisurely stroll.
And the so-called Deadly River that I saw with my own eyes, it was an indescribable stinky water area, the water quality was black, many floating objects, smelling extremely stinky, the bottom of the water undulated and undulating, as if there was something mysterious hidden, ready to burst out at any time, after passing through the area of the Deadly River, there was another forest, that is, it had reached the West Island area, but what I knew was that the forest seemed to be affected by the river, there were many sludge, swamps, black and smelly soil, and you could see the bones of many birds and animals.
It's a bit like the fairy tale where those evil wizards live, the same island, the gap between the East Island and the West Island is so big, I am ashamed, and when I flew away to explore, I seemed to hear some sounds of walking, and those black soil and some people's footprints, I specially let Sanfu fly down, I went to investigate one or two, and really found a lot.
If you guess correctly, there may be some tribe living here, I just hope it's not a cannibal tribe or something, but the tone of Lingsheng's warning may be even more terrifying than the cannibal tribe.
And after investigating, I also wondered, Song Bailu is the most precious little life, even if she wants to avoid me, how can she think of going to such a terrible place, isn't she afraid that she will be swallowed by this mysterious and ugly area? Anyway, I feel creepy for a moment, and it's even more terrible and uncomfortable than staying in that place of captivity, let alone escaping here, living here for a long time, and surviving.
From this, I couldn't help but think of the day when I went to visit the flower girl and asked about the specific situation, maybe she was mistaken.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and we have run out of ammunition and food this day, but the repairs and repairs are basically completed, so everyone sat at the table and discussed the next solution.
"Now that winter is coming, there is basically no trace of the food that can be gathered, and now there are so many mouths, where to change more, so from the current dilemma, we only have two ways to survive the crisis, first, organize a hunting team, go out to hunt to tide over the crisis, but it will take a while for the potatoes to grow, and the merman does not know when it will recover, so it is necessary to hunt more prey; Second, killing sheep, this is more labor-saving than the previous method, at least there is no need to spend a lot of time, and killing one can only last a few days. I said.
The two girls shook their heads together this time, and Lingshang said, "Going out hunting will inevitably cause the mountain god to be disgusted, and your harvest may be affected tomorrow." ”
Yun Wen also said: "It's not okay to kill sheep to eat, these sheep are not normal goats, and they came with me to help us, if we put a butcher knife on it, they will definitely be scared away, so we won't even have wool." ”
"I've thought about it too, but is there anything else we can do?" I asked.
"Don't worry, I'll go to the merman coast tomorrow to see the situation, I'll bring some copper coins to see if I can exchange some food and come back, let's stand up first, and save some food recently, everyone drink more water, tighten your pockets, and we'll take our time for the rest." Yun Wen said.
I sighed, it's not that this method can't work, but it's definitely not a long-term solution, and besides, there may not be any mermaids on the merman coast in the near future, after all, they have suffered heavy losses, and they haven't even come here in the near future, so how can they go to the shore?
"It's really not good, let's go ask Miss Su and see if she can have a way to save her." Lingshang said.
