Chapter 213: The Indigenous Crisis (5)
"Lord Zhang Dixian, please fill this bowl to show our gratitude to you. ”
The village chief, who was stout and like a big black bear, held the clay bowl in his hand and kept gesturing to Zhang Wei.
The rich smell of alcohol that spurted out of his mouth almost knocked him out.
And the poor young man, looking at the bowl of more than a pound of wine, his whole black face was almost frightened: What! Even if the system indicates that it is edible alcohol, drinking it will kill people.
Fortunately, he only excused himself slightly, and he took the big bowl by himself, and poured the whole bowl of alcohol mixed with water into his stomach in one go.
Then, after a heavy muffled sound, he lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Even in this case, this product is 'chirping' its mouth, and its face is full of redness, which is indescribably relaxed and happy.
Zhang Wei glanced at the shabby banquet scene and found that basically all the natives were in a similar state.
Adult men and women poured alcohol on each other, and even the little cubs were holding the broth that he criticized, and drinking it was a smile.
Even the laughter at the banquet was heard far away, causing a burst of echo in the mountains and forests in the distance.
In the small talk during the banquet, compared with the initial doubts, at least Zhang Wei figured out the situation:
It's not that these natives have a unique taste and like black bread and horse sausages, but they haven't had such a full meal for quite some time.
If he hadn't appeared, Mangshan Village would have been completely out of food in the first half of a month.
This is the result of their strict control of food consumption since more than a month ago.
Because of the construction of the wall on the edge of the village, as well as the vigilance and defense at night, it has basically involved more than half of the energy of the natives.
During the daytime, at most, a hunting team of about 20 men can be selected to hunt in the mountains and forests.
In addition, about 20 sturdy women can be selected to carry a collection team composed of the same number of half-sized cubs into the surrounding mountains and forests, looking for wild fruits, wild vegetables and other food that can satisfy the stomach.
Since the Demon Plague, the prey in the mountains and forests has suddenly decreased by eighty percent.
Often, hunting teams are busy all day and can't bring back much prey.
As for the collection team, during this time, they have collected almost all the wild fruits and wild vegetables in the surrounding mountains and forests, and now they need to walk more than ten miles away to find something to eat.
Now the food supply in the village is two meals a day of wild vegetable soup with a small amount of meat.
The adult men, as the main force of the war, could have a bowl per meal, and the auxiliary women could have half a bowl, and in the case of a group of young cubs, it was a third of the bowl.
In comparison, no matter how bad the taste of brown bread with sawdust is, it can be regarded as a serious food.
Just being full of them is already the absolute respect that Zhang Wei has won in their hearts, and at this time, it can be well illustrated from the fact that they continue to hold the wine bowl and raise their thanks to Zhang Wei......
After tossing until midnight, the village finally fell silent again.
Except for those who were still holding on to the cold wall, all the rest of the people returned to the wooden huts to rest.
Even the night watchmen were much better off tonight.
Not only did they eat a full meal of black bread in the middle of the night, but everyone also had a warm and comfortable military coat.
Of course, like Zhang Dixian's body, there is no such stylish woolen coat for officers.
But the much cheaper cotton coats of the World War II devil soldiers also made the night watchmen feel the warmth they had not seen for a long time, not to mention, each of them had an extra pair of big scalp shoes on their feet.
The inside of the leather shoes was full of soft fluff, which was better than their animal skin boots stuffed with hay, and I don't know how much stronger.
In this way, in the eyes of these night watchmen full of gratitude and respect, Zhang Wei, who tightened his military coat, walked to the stone pillar in the center of the village.
It was cold and piercing, this was the first feeling that Zhang Wei had in his palm when he put his right hand on the stone pillar.
After a lapse of two months, standing in front of such a stone pillar again, Zhang Wei still feels that the stone pillar in front of him is the most beautiful work of art in the world.
What's even more wonderful is that it seems that because of the surge in his mental strength, there have been some gratifying changes.
Carefully stretching out his fingertips, Zhang Wei traced a line on the stone pillar, until an indescribable depression in his heart made him stop his movements abruptly.
However, when Zhang Wei came back to his senses, he was already pleasantly surprised:
Just now, he actually finished drawing the entire twenty-centimeter-long line.
After drawing the whole stripe, to be honest, he didn't get any immediate progress, but the great satisfaction that welled up in his heart was really great for Zhang Wei.
Due to his current physical state, Zhang Wei could not continue to depict it.
He could only look at the stone pillar carefully, trying to find out why the light emitted by the stone pillar would be greatly reduced in the demonic plague.
Unfortunately, he stood in front of the stone pillar for a whole night and did not notice anything unusual.
Zhang Wei knew that this was the reason why his talisman level was still too low, unless his current level continued to rise dozens of times.
Maybe you'll be lucky enough to see some clues from it.
And if he wants to make his talisman level soar, Zhang Wei thinks that the only place that is somewhat possible is to go to the stone hall in the center of the mountains to have a look.
At this moment, Zhang Wei couldn't wait to set off there immediately.
It's just that neither his current body has recovered, nor the planned fortifications in Mangshan Village, do not allow him to do this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but shout loudly in the slightly glowing sky: "It's dawn! Everyone got up and peed......
In the next five days, the natives of the entire Mangshan Village lived a life of joy and sorrow.
To their surprise, Zhang Dixian did what he promised, giving them a full meal three times a day: brown bread and wild vegetable broth.
What saddens them is that they are treated like cattle, and they will never have enough work to do.
Even to make it easier to go, it takes a trot back and forth, and if they didn't know that this is to keep everyone alive in the midst of the demonic disaster, they wouldn't have been able to hold on for a long time.
However, the results achieved are also amazing.
At the position where the defensive pressure at the entrance of the village was greatest, a stone wall was built that was much higher than the previous wall.
The large stones are all made of mortar mixed with cement.
With these things, the stones are firmly glued together, and just thinking about it, I don't know how much stronger it is than the previous civil wall.
On the high city wall, ten large iron bumps called Makqin were lined up all the way.
This thing was operated by two sturdy women, both of whom had been trained by Zhang Dixian for half a day, and once activated, the sound of this thing was as loud as thunder.
As for why? Women were asked to operate such powerful weapons, and it was all the men, each with a gadget called the Mauser 98K.
It had a long bayonet on it, and it was much stronger than the previous stick.
On top of that, it shoots an iron egg with the pull of the trigger, and while the iron egg is not as powerful as their bow and arrow, the difference is not too great.
The speed of firing iron eggs is much faster than that of bows and arrows.
At this point, even if Zhang Dixian planned to surround the entire village wall, it was only half completed.
However, as for whether they can survive this unprecedented catastrophe, the people of Mangshan Village are full of confidence: they will definitely survive.
