Chapter 62: Meat
It's snowing outside, the temperature is about minus ten degrees, and if you don't have a set of warm equipment, you will die. That's all Liu Ming can help, after all, he is also old and young, and there are dozens of brothers' families who rely on him for food.
"Be careful yourself, don't hold on if you can't do it, I'm still waiting for you at home." Liu Ming said earnestly to Yan Banshan.
"I understand." Yan Banshan nodded heavily and said.
Liu Ming led the hunting team in front, and Yan Banshan and other ordinary people followed from afar along the traces on the snow. The vicinity of the base has long been empty, and the nearest hunting site is also thirty or forty kilometers. With the physical condition of ordinary people, it will take at least four or five hours to arrive. The warriors of the hunting team can arrive in half an hour, and the time it takes to set up traps for hunting will not exceed two hours at most. Then the hunting team will use the snow to bury the prey that cannot be taken away, sprinkle the mutant tree sap to cover up the smell of blood, and make obvious marks so that ordinary people who come behind can find these buried prey.
The average person who came from behind could carry about 200 kilograms of prey back to the base. And the prey they brought back was to be distributed to half of the hunting team, after all, the prey was hunted by the hunting team. After a long journey of more than four hours, Yan Banshan and the other four people finally arrived at the place where the prey was buried. Each took out the shovel he had brought with him and dug out his buried prey from the snow.
"Wow! Lao Yan, we are really lucky, we are actually mutant cows. A young man with Yan Banshan shouted.
"It's a pity, it's almost three or four tons, and it's a pity that the five of us can't take half of it." Yan Banshan said while packing, looking at the corpse of the mutant cow distressedly. "Ranhe, come, help the handle, pile it on the sleigh." Yan Banshan packed the decomposed meat and said to Lan He next to him.
On the two sleds, bags of mutant beef bones and mutant beef were piled up, and the five of them lined up in a row, all with ropes tied to their shoulders, pulled the sleds forward in front. Pulling heavy objects on the snow, naturally it was not fast, and it took them almost six hours to return to the base.
"Each person will take 20 catties of meat back, and the rest will be sold, and the money will be divided when Lao Liu and them come back." Yan Banshan paid the tax and said to them.
Everyone else took the meat home, Yan Banshan asked Lan He to help bring the meat home, carried dozens of catties of meat by himself, took the money, and went to Liu Ming's house. He didn't dare to take so much money home, otherwise he might be robbed and killed. Liu Ming's parents are still alive at home, and his wife Fang Xue'e is taking eight-year-old Liu Gan. Yan Banshan handed over the meat and money to Liu Xue'e, greeted the second elder, and then dragged his tired body home.
"Lao Yan, tired, alas! It's me who dragged you down......" Yan Banshan's wife, Zhou Xiuxiu, looked at Yan Banshan, who was full of exhaustion, and said distressedly.
"Don't be stupid, the kids are sleeping, aren't they?" Yan Banshan interrupted Zhou Xiuxiu's words and said.
"Well, there's beef in the pot, you can eat and rest." Zhou Xiuxiu helped Yan Banshan dust off the snowflakes on his body, handed the towel to Yan Banshan to wipe his face, and said.
"You also eat more, your health is better than anything else, there is another trip tomorrow, and you can also bring back twenty catties of meat, don't save it, come, eat some more with me." Yan Banshan took the towel and said. He knew that his wife must be reluctant to eat, so he pulled her down to eat together.
If these mutated beef were replaced with steamed buns, it would be enough for their family to eat for more than a month, but Yan Banshan knew that his wife's health was not good and needed nutrition, so he didn't change them for steamed buns. The smooth and tender mutant beef is quite nourishing, and after only a few bites, Yan Banshan felt warm in his body. I was full of strength, and I didn't feel tired at all.
"Come, Xiuxiu, you can eat too." Yan Banshan knew that his wife must have just eaten steamed buns, and was reluctant to eat mutated beef. insisted on letting her eat with her.
The Rock Base is good for ordinary people who can't absorb crystal cultivation, arranging jobs for them, as well as rationing places to live. Of course, ordinary people are not qualified to live in the dungeon, but the houses on the ground of the rock base are allocated to them. Unlike other bases, ordinary people live in wooden sheds outside the base. Think about the temperature of minus ten degrees, what role can a small wooden shed play? I don't know how many people freeze to death every day.
Yan Banshan practiced boxing after he was full, this is the Xingyi boxing spectrum that Liu Ming gave him before, although he can't absorb crystal cultivation, but it is also good to practice and exercise. What's more, after eating the meat of mutant cows, the exercise effect is better at this time, and Yan Banshan is seriously practicing one move and one style. Early the next morning, Yan Banshan's five people set off again, and most of the prey was left yesterday, and today they were going to pull it back. After discerning the direction, the five of them slid out of the base.
"Old Yan, when will they come back?" Lu Tiemin asked.
"Lao Liu said that it would take four or five days, but unfortunately we couldn't keep up, and the prey he hunted was wasted." Yan Banshan replied.
It took more than four hours for the five of them to arrive at the burial site, dig up the mutant cattle that were packed yesterday, pile them on a sleigh and pull them back to the base. They were also lucky enough to not encounter the mutant beasts or other teams on either trip. Otherwise, they will either be eaten by mutant beasts, or robbed by other teams.
Although all kinds of fighting are forbidden in the rock base, who can control it in this wilderness. Five ordinary people killed no one knows, and there are more people who die outside every day, and there are not a few of them. Who told them to be so poor that they couldn't even afford a gun, and the other teams, which team didn't have a few guns to defend themselves.
At the same time, Huang Xuan no longer built the city wall, relying on the internal strength of the iron courage, he could also absorb the energy in some crystals to cultivate. The strength has been evaluated by the Martial Arts Guild and has reached the third level of the Martial Artists.
In fact, Huang Xuan's real strength now is not weaker than those warriors of the seventh or eighth order of the samurai, if he just fights for strength, he will definitely completely destroy those martial artists of the seventh and eighth order. It's just that he relied on his iron courage to absorb crystals with his true strength, and the absorption speed was several times slower than others, so the energy indicators in his body detected were naturally lower. But even so, Huang Xuan was already very satisfied.
With the identity of a martial artist, Huang Xuan no longer needs to be afraid to spend money secretly, and he can buy anything he wants generously. It is forbidden to fight between the warriors in the base, and if it is an ordinary person who kills it, he will kill it, and no one will hold the warrior responsible. So all along, Huang Xuan has been careful when he spends money, for fear of being killed and robbed when someone will kill him.
