[Chapter 11: Winter Hunting]

When the fruit threshold dense forest has just entered the winter, it is not too cold, which is true for the Zenu people who are used to spending the winter in single clothes, but in fact, the temperature is also below ten degrees at the lowest time, and the animals in the dense forest are especially active during this time, Lu Qi naturally knows that they are not preparing for the New Year, but searching and storing food for the winter.

And this period of time, it is also a year-round hunt for tens of thousands of Zenu in the dense forest of Guoji, and it is often the most dangerous hunt, after all, the environment is worse than spring, summer and autumn.

Walking along the river, which was almost covered by all kinds of strangely shaped arched vines, Xiao Qiang, who was carrying a fork gun, walked in the middle of the group, his bare feet stepped in the cold swamp mud, and let the mud rotting from the dead leaves emerge from the toes like small worms, but his square face had a happy expression.

Looking at others, most of them are a little sad, and most of them look around vigilantly, and there are almost four big words "frightened and afraid" written on the door of their heads.

The dense forest is full of dangers, not only to guard against the poisonous snakes and beasts that appear from time to time, but also to be careful of some poisonous insects, and even accidentally, stepping on something under your feet will cause fatal consequences.

The reason why Xiaoqiang was in a happy mood was because he was originally going to be punished, but at this moment he was exonerated by the team leader, and he resisted the fork gun he dreamed of, and no longer a bad breed hiding behind.

The winter hunt of up to 400 people is undoubtedly a big battle against nature for the northwest household. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first, and the food and drinking water of the 400 people are undoubtedly the most important. Therefore, of the 400 people, nearly 100 of them were in charge of logistics, and in the early stage, they were responsible for carrying food and drinking water.

The main thing is to drink water, not to mention the abundant water sources of the swamp forests, but most of them cannot be directly drunk. And Xiaoqiang is a member of the people who carry drinking water, but on this day, the big water bladder he was carrying was accidentally broken by a branch, and dozens of liters of spring water were in vain, which was the drinking water quota for several people, which means that several people may die on the way to winter hunting because of lack of drinking water.

In the past, the team that went out to hunt also occasionally had this situation, and the fate of the water slave would be very miserable, although it would not be directly executed, but it was basically a dead word if it was punished by a rod in this field.

Xiao Qiang understood this truth, so at that time, his face was almost like ashes, and he could imagine the scene of the leader Lu Qi angrily piercing his head with that short blood stab. But when Lu Qi knew about this, he didn't punish him at all, but let him go lightly, and gave him a fork gun, let him participate in the hunt, and remembered that he was young and a novice, and arranged him in the middle of the team.

"Human life is more important than drinking water!" This is what Lu Qi said at the time: "In the huge swampy forest, the water that can be drunk is not so difficult to find, but the people who can use it die one less!"

Lu Qi said a word and spared his life, Xiaoqiang is undoubtedly grateful to Dade. Thinking that he had joined the team of despising and making fun of Lu Qi in the first place, Xiao Qiang was annoyed. Now that he heard someone say bad things about Lu Qi, although he didn't dare to risk fighting with others, he still dared to scold a few words.
