When my uncle asked, my bearded uncle had an embarrassed expression on his face. It seems that there is not only a shortage of salt in this village, but also no sugar.

"Get water, I won't tell you, I'm really running out of food in this village. If you look at the vegetables you eat, they are only wild vegetables that we picked nearby, and we used to have a lot of food reserves here, but people can't live by eating rice. Adults don't have salt to eat, and my maid hasn't eaten sugar for months, so I'm ashamed of the old patriarch's entrustment. As he spoke, my bearded uncle began to cry again.

"Hey, big man, what are you crying about, let the maid see how bad it is." My uncle persuaded him a few words, and this bearded uncle was better. I used to cry too, but because I wasn't sensible. Uncle Hu also loves to cry, but he is because everything is too difficult, and there is no one to share his worries.

"Xiao Tian, I just heard what you mean, you have a salt mine near here, and you can also produce sugar, it seems that you are completely self-sufficient here. Come and tell me what's going on and see how I can help you. My uncle asked.

"That's right, the old patriarch, who is Ye Zi's father, handed over Ye Zi and the whole clan to me before he died. Naturally, I don't dare to slack off. The productivity and defense here are relatively backward, so it took me a few years to improve the agriculture and fortifications here. As you saw when you came, the semi-mechanical lift platform was not as good as the real elevator, but it was enough. ”

"It's worth mentioning that I also built a farm on a cliff next to the salt mine, which I also spent several years building with painstaking efforts. The land on the cliff was the most fertile place in the vicinity, and I also raised some fat pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks there, which could finally provide a more abundant source of food for the whole village. ”

"I also taught the people in the village how to refine the grain and how to grow winter vegetables. I also planted a piece of beet on that cliff, and I can boil sugar every year, so that the children can also have candy to eat, and life is always a little more colorful. "I can't see that my bearded uncle is still a very capable person, much more comfortable than my uncle.

"Xiao Tian, then you did a good job, you can achieve this in a place where there are no tools, it's really amazing." My uncle patted Uncle Beard on the back, it was the first time I had seen my uncle so sure of a person.

"Originally, every two months, I had to send people to deliver supplies. But four or five months ago, these werewolves suddenly appeared, and our people were always attacked. There is no choice but to let everyone stick to the stockade and wait for these werewolves to evacuate. But after a few months, these werewolves not only showed no signs of evacuating, but also increased in number. Then I understood why they didn't take the initiative to attack my stockade, just to trap us here. ”

"Don't worry, Xiao Tian, I'll accompany you to the farm tomorrow, and you can't let a few werewolves trap all the people in this stockade to death." Let's go out and see what's going on outside, and I'll help you design some defenses, so you'll be foolproof. Don't worry, we won't leave without helping you solve the problem of werewolves. "My uncle doesn't know if he drank too much or is really sure, I watched him guarantee the ticket again.

After eating, my bearded uncle wanted to take me to the suspension bridge to have a look, saying that there was a full view of the village. When we went out, I saw that everyone in the village really only had a bowl of rice to eat, not even a single dish, let alone anything with oil and water. It seems that the village has really reached the point of exhaustion.

Uncle Hu Zi took us to the suspension bridge, and sure enough, as Uncle Hu said, we can see the whole picture of the whole village here. There are three large stone pillars about equal distances, and some dark windows can be seen from above, which are very well hidden. The underground is an underground tunnel that can be connected to each other, and the people inside the three stone pillars can move as they like underground.

Three floors above the ground floor are warehouses, which have no windows and can also be protected from enemy attacks. The next three floors are residential quarters, with a sentry post built on top of each stone pillar, which is guarded at all times. The suspension bridge we are on can also communicate with three stone pillars, but this suspension bridge is very narrow and can only allow one person to pass through, which is used for emergency escape when the underground passage is destroyed.

My uncle took a pen and paper and recorded the situation in this village by the moonlight, so that he could make arrangements tomorrow.

"Oda, do you have any weapons?" Uncle Beard nodded.

"There are a few weapons, a lot of crossbow arrows, and I have made a few earthen guns, but most of them are left to the brothers stationed on the farm. The rest is some cold weapons such as broadswords and spears, I used to have a pistol, but now I don't have bullets. After Uncle Hu finished speaking, my uncle handed him a backpack.

"Xiao Tian, here is the gun we found in the repair shop of Ni Daye and Ye Ye last time, it's useless for us to keep it, so let's give it to you." Uncle Hu opened his backpack and looked at the guns and bullets slowly inside, happy as a child.

"With these things, tomorrow I will give those werewolves a taste of my power." My uncle drew the picture, and we went back to rest. The rooms here were hollowed out from the inside of the stone pillars, and I now have to admire the ingenuity of the ancients to complete such a project without modern tools.

When I got up the next day, I found that my uncle had already begun to assign work to Song Bald.

"Xiaoyu is up, you can take Xinze and go with me in a while. Qin Wu and they stayed here to set up defenses, there can't be no one to guard here, if those werewolves know that we are all gone, and there is a surprise attack, then the people in the stockade will suffer. "My uncle didn't say out loud the plan he assigned to everyone, but whispered in everyone's ear, don't you want to keep it so secret.

"Okay, Xiao Tian, you can rest assured that the stockade is guarded by a few of them, let's go to the farm now." Uncle Beard nodded and led us to the underground passage. Uncle Hu Zi brought forty or fifty sturdy young men to set off with us, and in addition to people, Uncle Hu also brought a dozen carriages. At this time, I realized that there was a special livestock shed next to the underground passage, and there were several wells at the end of the passage. My bearded uncle's design is really thorough, and it doesn't leak.

"Open the passage." Uncle Hu did not take us away from yesterday's lifting platform, but opened another passage. The passage is a gentle slope with a large stone slab falling from one side of the ground that joins the slope. We were able to drive the carriage up this slope, which was very convenient.

We set out from the stockade in a horse-drawn carriage, and soon a few clouds of smoke appeared on the hillside in the distance.
