279 Foothold
The seemingly flat wasteland is full of weeds, mixed with rye and rice, which is more like wild.
Looking at the meat strips and fish hanging under the eaves, Lin Yan understood that the main food in Mang Village also came from hunting.
Perhaps, those big black dogs are not only used to watch the home and nursery, but also to hunt well.
After turning around, Lin Yan had a bottom in his heart.
The people of Mang Village habitually store food to cope with the cold season when they don't know when it will come.
She didn't say directly that the cold season was coming in more than 20 days.
Settle down for two days and stock up for supplies for the cold season. When they see their methods, the people of Mang Village will naturally rush to catch up.
In these years, as long as the villagers can be fed, they will definitely be respected.
Wen Xue was cleaning up the debris in the yard, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she asked softly, "How is it?" ”
"A small broken village, there is nothing to eat, and it is difficult to protect yourself if you want to survive the cold season."
After looking around, it is false to say that I am not disappointed. It is really dilapidated and poor, and the time is urgent, and the supplies for the cold season must be prepared within ten days.
Wen Xue didn't react much, everything was expected, "It's good to have a place to stay, and the house will be cleaned up tomorrow." Let's build a shed in the yard tonight. Fortunately, we brought a few prey with us when we entered the village, so we could have a full meal later. It's at least a little safer here than in the wild. ”
Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "You're right, it's very lucky to find a place to settle before the cold season comes, we have to learn to be content." ”
After a full meal, everyone gathered together, and Lin Yan said directly: "Today is September 5th, and the cold season is coming. Mang Village is the best choice for us to spend the cold season. Time is pressing, supplies are scarce in the cold season, and everyone has to work together to chop firewood, hunt, and repair houses. ”
Lan Xing smiled: "I've been wandering around the wasteland for almost half a year, and it's good to stop and recuperate for a while." ”
"That makes sense." Lin Yan smiled, looked around, and saw that everyone had some fatigue and frost on their faces, compared to the spirit when they left, they had changed their appearance at this moment, and they could no longer see their original appearance.
In fact, her heart is not without entanglement and hesitation, several life and death struggles, and she has experienced killing and bloody baptism, just because of her decision-making.
These people may not understand what they are taking the risk for. But they believed in her and had no regrets.
But what about her, can she afford this trust and life and death?
When she narrowly escaped for her life several times, she also asked herself questions and hesitated. Especially in the dead of night, such thoughts will continue to invade.
Lan Yue had a keen mind and didn't say anything, just silently accompanied her, but the pressure on Lin Yan was always there.
Seeing that Lin Yan was in a trance, Lan Yue naturally answered, "I have decided to spend the cold season in Mang Village, have a good rest tonight, and from tomorrow, we will act according to the plan." ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Wen Xue said: "Since you want to stay in the village, do you want to have a good relationship with the people in the village and remind them that the cold season is coming?" ”
There are thousands of people in Mang Village, and as outsiders, they must do something if they want to integrate in. Wen Xue's concerns were right.
After pondering for a few seconds, Blue Moon nodded, "You're right. ”
After looking around, his gaze wandered between Lan Xing, Lu Yu and Gao Qiang.
Lan Xing asked directly: "What's the matter, just say it." ”
"Among the three of you, choose two people to deal with the villagers, and you must handle the relationship well."
The reason why Blue Moon hesitated was that there were too few of them, and each of them had a heavy responsibility, and at most two people could be left to deal with interpersonal relationships.
Each of the three of them is a person who is easy to win the favor of others and knows how to deal with people.
Lanxing has a free and easy temperament, and can talk to anyone. Lu Yu is delicate and good at observing words and feelings. Gao Qiang is silly and has a strong external advantage.
Lan Xing's eyes rolled, "Let the two of them stay, and I'll go hunting and chopping wood." "There are fierce beasts all over the place, and stronger force is needed.
Compared with themselves, Lu Yu and Gao Qiang are a little weaker, and it is best to stay.
Lu Yu and Gao Qiang did not object, no matter how it was arranged, they would obey.
Blue Moon's eyes fluttered, and she nodded in agreement. "In addition to dealing with the villagers, you also have to repair the houses, and it is best to get the villagers to help them, and we will exchange them for food."
It's also a good way to integrate into the village, and it's easier to win favor with the benefits of reality.
Lin Yan came back to his senses and agreed: "Not bad." You two stay and repair the house, while the rest go hunting and chopping wood. With our ability, exchanging prey for the labor of the villagers is not a problem. ”
Thinking of the wasteland around the village he saw today, Lin Yan said: "Look at the rye and rice they plant, it is difficult to have a good harvest, you can also start from the plant." ”
Lan Yue said: "It's not proper to farm. The people of Mang Village have their own reasons for doing this. ”
Lin Yan's eyes rolled and he understood, "Also, if all the intensive cultivation is done and planted into rye and rice, it will attract countless birds and birds, and it will be easier to attract fierce beasts." ”
"Not bad." Lan Xing nodded, "Mang Village seems to have a lot of people, but its combat effectiveness is very weak. It's too hard to keep the village safe. They just want to avoid the beast and have to choose to starve. ”
In front of the fierce beast, his life was vulnerable, and Mang Village had to weigh the pros and cons, mixing rye and rice among the weeds to confuse his vision, so that he could still have a little harvest.
After arranging what they had to do next, they could finally get a good night's sleep after several days of traveling.
Early the next morning, everyone was busy, doing their own thing.
Lin Yan and Blue Moon led the team to hunt, and they couldn't go out during the long cold season, so they had to prepare enough food.
Hunting and picking wild fruits and vegetables became their main task.
Wen Xue led three people to chop wood near the village. In addition to the consumption of food, the demand for firewood is greatest in the cold season.
Yesterday I had already made a plan to build an earthen kang in the wooden house, and walk the flue of the stove around the house to make the greatest possible use of all the heat energy.
The thatched hut was dilapidated and had limited resistance to wind and cold, and it had to be changed as much as possible.
When the people from Mang Village rushed over to see the excitement, only Gao Qiang and Lu Yu were there, and the first task of the two was to solve the communication barrier with the villagers.
As for how to solve it, it depends on their ability.
can stand out from many people in the army, the two are inconspicuous in the team, compared to ordinary people, but they are people with outstanding abilities in all aspects.
Language learning ability is a necessary skill for going out.
With his honest appearance and good cooking skills, Gao Qiang quickly won the recognition of the villagers.
Lu Yu is not bad, the two cooperate tacitly, and it only took half a day to successfully break into the village, and they can communicate simply.
By the time Lin Yan and the others came back with their prey in the evening, the two had already mingled with the villagers.
