Chapter 570: The Present Situation
The atmosphere of meeting with the villagers was very lively, and every villager in Zhoujia Village was very excited about Ling Tao's arrival.
After some greetings, Ling Tao pulled Leng Yingying in front of him and introduced it to the villagers: "Taigong, Zhou Lin, Mancang, this is Yingying, Leng Yingying, my girlfriend ......, hehe......."
Introducing herself in front of so many villagers in Zhoujia Village, Leng Yingyingrao has seen a lot of big scenes, and she is also a little embarrassed at this time, there is a feeling that the new daughter-in-law is meeting her in-laws, although there are no Ling Tao's parents here.
"Taigong, Brother Zhou Lin, Brother Mancang...... hello, thank you for taking care of Brother Ling Tao before", Leng Yingying, although she was a little shy, still greeted everyone generously.
However, Leng Yingying's words made everyone a little embarrassed, where were they taking care of Ling Tao, it was clear that Ling Tao was taking care of them in the past, guessing correctly, they were still adults, but who made Ling Tao a 'city person'.
"Hehe, Miss Yingying is polite, welcome here, it just makes us shine here, and Miss Yingying is so beautiful, and Brother Ling is a match made in heaven", the old lady stood up and said, he will come when he is old and good.
Ling Tao was speechless, what is wrong with Mrs. Zhou, the suspicion of slapping the horses is too obvious, I am a little embarrassed, Mrs. Zhou's words are all expressing a meaning, that is, he is stammering himself, this Ling Tao can still feel it, if it weren't for the sake of Mrs. Zhou's age, Ling Tao really wants to ask him a word about your temperament.......
Hearing that Leng Yingying was Ling Tao's girlfriend, some of the big girls and daughters-in-law around who were self-sustaining and good-looking suddenly gloomy, not to mention anything else, Leng Yingying would dump them a few streets away, they had no hope.
This is also human nature, every woman wants to be with a capable man. In the hearts of the people of Zhoujia Village, Ling Tao is undoubtedly the most capable one, although he used to just have extravagant hopes in his heart, but now he doesn't even have the idea of extravagant hope, Ling Tao already has a master, they can only dispel the thoughts in their hearts.
After some pleasantries. Mrs. Zhou took out his majesty and said to the surrounding villagers: "Okay, okay, it's all gone, what should I do, by the way, Mr. Ling is back, hurry up, prepare a place for Mr. Ling, and then, take out all the delicious food and drink for Mr. Ling to catch the wind ......."
Ling Tao was embarrassed. Obviously, Zhou Taigong is going to receive himself with the 'highest standard', everyone is so familiar, Ling Tao feels that there is no need for this, but it is useless to explain everything, Zhou Taigong is determined to 'stay' Ling Tao's rhythm.
Soon after, under the busyness of the villagers, a hearty meal was prepared, the meat of various mutant beasts. Fruits, rice and much more. The atmosphere is the same as the New Year.
The villagers are really too simple and enthusiastic, Ling Tao sighed in his heart, it is precisely because of this atmosphere that Ling Tao chose to come here instead of returning to the home in the base city.
A brand new table was set up in the open air, because there were gorillas around the basin, and there was no fear of mutant beasts attacking.
This table gathered more than a dozen people who Ling Tao knew well in Zhoujia Village. Under the unanimous politeness of everyone, Ling Tao and Leng Yingying were invited to the upper seat, which shows Ling Tao's status in the hearts of the villagers of Zhoujia Village.
The atmosphere was very warm, and in order to welcome Ling Tao, Zhou Taigong even took out all the precious wine and drank it. Ling Tao was not ambiguous, and shared the monkey wine he brought with everyone, and they were all very happy.
However, when he ate the meal prepared by the villagers, Ling Tao's eyebrows were faintly picked, the food was too light, almost tasteless, despite this, Ling Tao still ate it quietly.
After the banquet was over, the villagers went about their own work, and Ling Tao gathered with several main speakers of Zhoujia Village, including Zhou Taigong, Zhou Lin, Zhou Mancang, and Zhou Dazhu.
Everyone gathered in a place where no one was disturbing, and Zhou Taigong took the lead in looking at Ling Tao and asked, "Little Brother Ling, do you have any suggestions for this?" Seriously, we're all a bunch of peasants, we don't know how to build here, and as you can see, it's such a nice place but it's a mess."
Ling Tao smiled and shook his head and said, "Taigong, you are embarrassing me, I just came here, and I don't know anything about everything here, what do you want me to suggest?" Well, tell me about the situation here."
Because he was already familiar with the villagers here, Ling Tao did not regard himself as an outsider, he could say whatever he wanted, and he did not have any dissatisfaction because he had just come to participate in such a 'meeting'.
"That's what I said, then I'll introduce the situation here to Brother Ling first", Zhou Taigong nodded and said, and then, he organized his language and said: "First of all, we have surveyed on the spot, this basin is almost two kilometers longitudinal and longitudinal, the area is really not small, and there are hundreds of meters high cliffs around, which are natural barriers, and then all the existing villagers in Zhoujia Village are here, a total of two hundred and fifty-eight people, Most of them are the elderly, children, women and the disabled, and there are only about 60 men between the ages of 16 and 50 who can really play a protective role.......
At the end, Zhou Taigong sighed, Ling Tao was silent, when he first came to Zhoujia Village, there were four or five hundred villagers here, after such a long time, because of various things, the number of people has been reduced by half, this is also a matter of no way, living in this world, death is something that everyone has to face.
Then Zhou Taigong continued: "Then, Brother Ling handed over to the villagers the military body fist and flowing water fist swordsmanship, everyone is practicing hard, because there is no shortage of food, everyone's progress is great, and even Zhou Lin and they have the ability to fight with mutant beasts alone, secondly, when we came here, there was still a group of living dead people who could spray poison, but they were all killed by the gorilla herd, well, we also followed your advice and used the powerful mutant beast feces powder to expel poisonous insects and beasts, It works very well, and there are almost no of those dangerous things in the whole basin."
Ling Tao nodded to show his understanding, as for the living dead who could spray poison as Zhou Taigong said, Ling Tao guessed that it should be the people of the Blood Wolf Hunter Team who died here at the beginning, and after being poisoned by the python, they turned into the living dead and mutated again, and they would spray poison, but in front of the powerful gorilla, they were still not enough.
After solving it, Zhou Taigong thought for a while and continued: "What's more, when we came here, we got a lot of weapons here, all kinds of firearms, even a lot of grenades and shells, and more than a dozen real cannons, almost all of which are intact and functional, and we didn't put those vehicles in the valley, we dismantled them all for him and moved them back, and got a lot of steel and other things, which are extremely useful things......."
Mrs. Zhou babbled and told Ling Tao all the situation as it was, without hiding it at all.
Ling Tao was extremely stunned, the people of the Blood Wolf Hunter Team died, but their weapons and equipment were left, but in the end, the villagers of Zhoujia Village were cheaper, you know, the Blood Wolf Hunters had thousands of people, in order to attack here, dozens of big trucks pulled a lot of things came here, all of which were cheaper than the villagers of Zhoujia Village.
With these weapons and equipment, Ling Tao found that it was many, much more than anyone in Zhoujia Village was armed to the teeth, which made Ling Tao feel strange, is this a big business?
"That's probably the case, what does Brother Ling think we need to do here next to survive better? Although I am old, I also know the current situation, we are small here, there are few people, we can't compare with big cities, I can only rely on Brother Ling to lead everyone to live", Zhou Taigong said deeply, he really regarded Ling Tao as the backbone.
With the understanding of this world, Zhou Taigong, an old farmer who has been nesting in the mountains all his life, also realized that talents like Ling Tao are the hope of leading everyone to live.
"I'm thinking about this, don't worry, after all, we have too few people, and this place is too big, when I think about how to build here, let those gorillas who have eaten all day and have nothing to do help", Ling Tao thought about it and said, he didn't know what to do for a while.
The others also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, as long as Ling Tao was there, it seemed that there was no difficulty that could stump them.
Leaving these things behind, Ling Tao frowned and looked at Zhou Taigong and asked, "Taigong, when I was eating just now, I found that the dishes I made didn't seem to have any taste......."
Hearing Ling Tao's words, everyone else, including Zhou Taigong, laughed bitterly.
Then, Zhou Taigong pointed to Zhou Lin's head and said, "Brother Ling, look at him, and then look at them, does everyone have white hair?" And no less? Do you know what the reason for this is"?
How did Ling Tao know, before he wondered that the villagers in Zhoujia Village were aging very quickly, and their hair was almost half white.
"Hey, this is the reason for the lack of salt, no salt, not only cooking has no taste, in the long run, people will gradually become weak, will be weak, the most direct embodiment is white hair, this is not counted, the most important thing is that without salt, the meat of many mutant beasts can not be preserved, now it is better in winter, if it is summer, there is no salt, the meat will stink and rot in a day or two and cannot be eaten......", Zhou Taigong sighed.
Ling Tao was stunned, it turned out that the problem was in this place, salt, which is usually almost ignored by everyone but is indispensable every day, people will have no strength if they don't eat salt, and even their bones will gradually become fragile and ....... (To be continued......)
