Chapter 10 Arrangements for a new day
There was no talking all night. I don’t know if it was because he was too tired, but Zhou Xu slept very well that night.
Until the noise coming from outside the tent woke him up.
Before he even opened his eyes, his hungry stomach began to wail, causing Zhou Xu to wake up quickly.
Immediately, as if he remembered what happened, he sat up suddenly, almost hitting the tent above his head.
[Damn it, I actually completely slept to death? ! 】
Although the tribe members outside respect him as their leader and obey him, don't forget that they have only known each other for less than a day.
After falling asleep, the potential risks that might exist were enough to make him break out in a cold sweat.
But Zhou Xu also had to admit that he was too tired yesterday. In fact, his head was still groggy now. It was really unrealistic for him to stay alert all night.
When he walked out of the tent, a woman was waiting beside him. When she saw him coming out, she quickly knelt down.
Zhou Xu originally wanted to hold her up and stop her from kneeling, but he was really hungry and sleepy, so his reaction was a little too slow and he couldn't hold her up in time.
"Okay, get up, what are you doing here?"
"We don't dare to disturb the leader's rest, so we'll wait here for the leader to get up and arrange things."
I wonder if it was because of some problems with his approach yesterday that these tribe members now dare not act rashly without his order.
I looked up at the sky and saw that it was not fully light yet. I guessed that it was only about five or six o'clock in the morning.
However, they fell asleep immediately late at night yesterday, and they should have slept for almost nine to ten hours.
Standing outside the tent and taking a breath of the cold morning air, Zhou Xu immediately became more energetic.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Butterfly."
Zhou Xu nodded, he still had some impression of this woman named Butterfly.
"That was you who was on the altar at that time, right?"
If he remembered correctly, it was the butterfly in front of him who handed him the animal skin.
In response, Butterfly nodded obediently and admitted, with a bit of nervousness on his face.
Zhou Xu asked casually. After asking, he raised his head and walked towards the still burning fire.
"Okay, don't kneel down."
Seeing the tribe members along the way kneeling down again, Zhou Xu felt a headache and stopped them in time.
"When you see me in the future, all you need to do is to bow your head like this and bow your head."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu put his left hand behind his waist and put his right hand on his chest. Then he leaned forward slightly and made a bow.
He did not stop the tribe members from surrendering to him. After all, it was also important to him to consolidate his rule.
But every time I see him, I have to kneel down, which is too strenuous and affects efficiency.
When the tribe members saw this, they also followed suit.
It's a little awkward at first, but the action itself is not difficult. After doing it a few times, you can basically get used to it, and find that this method is indeed much more convenient.
"What? Didn't everyone even drink water after they woke up?"
Looking at the filled nutshell bowls next to the fire, Zhou Xu looked up the surrounding tribe members.
At the same time, he also found that the surrounding tribe members were looking at him eagerly at this moment.
Then I quickly realized that in a tribe like this, supplies were too scarce, so even water had to wait for me, as the leader, to distribute it.
Not talking nonsense, Zhou Xu directly picked up a bowl of water and took a sip to moisten his throat.
"Fei Que, from today on, you will be responsible for distributing water to everyone every morning. After distributing the water, the water must continue to be boiled..." While all the tribe members gathered together to drink water, At that time, he directly assigned tasks to the thirty-one people under his command.
"Butterfly, the five of you will continue to be responsible for weaving baskets and bark ropes in the tribe today."
Considering the population of their tribe, eight baskets were not enough. If they wanted to get enough food, they had to cast a wide net.
For this reason, they naturally need more basket traps.
The five people, including Butterfly, were undoubtedly the five whose manual skills were recognized by him yesterday.
"You two are responsible for tearing the bark of the tree and watching the fire boil the water."
Inside the tribe, Zhou Xuzheng was nodding his head and giving instructions.
"Da Shan, the main task of the ten of you will be to pick up branches, stones and catch insects. I will tell you the specific details later."
Collecting branches, stones and catching insects, this is It doesn't sound like much, but in fact the workload is not much at all.
Especially the matter of picking up branches.
At this stage, considering the problem of drinking water, branches as the main fuel have undoubtedly become their tribe’s biggest consumable.
Under this premise, relying solely on their manpower to pick up branches is not very efficient.
This also resulted in them needing to invest more manpower in doing this to ensure that their tribe's fires could continue to burn and provide them with a steady stream of fresh water.
"Then Feijiao, eight of you, each of you will take a basket, and you will share a portion of the insect heads and offal collected yesterday."
After saying that, he glanced at the tribe and seemed a little eager to try. Member, he quickly reminded.
"It's not for you to eat, you can't eat this."
Knowing that he was talking about himself, the tribe members who heard this involuntarily tensed up their bodies, and at the same time, they felt so excited in their hearts. The urge to stuff something into my mouth also subsided immediately.
Before doing this, their urge for food would never have been so weak, but after eating those delicious grilled insects yesterday, look at these insect heads and internal organs...
After comparison, this time My appetite is really not that strong.
"How to use it, let's wait until we are in the right place."
At this point, Zhou Xu paused and thought about what else to arrange.
In fact, there are still many things to be arranged, but many things require his supervision. There is a high probability that the tribe members themselves will not be able to do it well.
And he is only one person after all.
So within the limited time, he could only make sure to do a few necessary things first.
Anyway, those things are not difficult in nature. As long as he takes the time to teach them, he can then do other things.
"The six of you, in a team of three, are patrolling near the tribe to ensure the safety of the tribe. If anything happens, run to the black forest over there and notify us. Okay, the rest of you will follow me. Let’s go.”
As he spoke, Zhou Xu took the lead and walked towards the dark woods not far away.
During this short stretch of road, Zhou Xu also sorted out his thoughts.
Although he had sorted out all the big plans before going to bed yesterday, he was really too tired and his mind was groggy at the time, so he didn’t really care about some of the specific arrangements for today. Very clear.
Originally, judging from the time required, he should deploy the trap first. After all, it takes time to crouch for prey.
But also for this reason, he needed to demonstrate the process of catching prey with traps first, so that the tribe members knew exactly what to do before they could leave to do other things.
Based on this premise, if the prey doesn't come to the door for a long time, wouldn't his arrangement be stuck?
Thinking of this, out of caution, Zhou Xu changed his plan and first led a large force to sweep the outskirts of the black forest and collect supplies at the same time.
Here comes the update. There is something wrong with the computer. I have been messing around for a while and the update is late. Thanks to the book friends "Lazy and Understanding", "Idle People in the World" and "Weird Names". !
