Chapter 185: Mentality
During this day, their entire village basically spent their time fighting against the blizzard.
The work finally came to an end, and the control of the fifteen hyena skeletons was released. When Zhou Xu returned to his residence, he just collapsed on the bed.
Controlling fifteen hyena skeletons at the same time is definitely not his limit, but it cannot be maintained for a long time.
Now that the power of the mantra has been consumed a lot, and he didn't get a good rest last night, at this moment, Zhou Xu only felt dizzy. He just wanted to empty his mind, slumped there and rested for a while, waiting for himself. Let's slow down this energy.
Until Ye Jinghong's voice sounded in his ears...
"Leader? Leader?! Leader!"
"!!!"
At that moment, Zhou Xu was completely awakened.
The whole person sat up suddenly, startling Chitose who didn't know when he was lying on top of him, and the expression on his face was also a bit frightened.
It wasn't until he saw the surrounding scene clearly that he leaned on the bed and breathed heavily.
I don’t know when, he lost consciousness.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of exhaustion that could not be concealed.
“Chief, the food we moved to other places yesterday to store was found to be soaked in water this morning.”
Looking at Ye Jinghong who had the courage to say these words, Zhou Xu felt like the world was spinning and he couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hands.
"Soaking in water? Why soaking in water?!"
This question was just asked, and Zhou Xu's expression changed as he reacted a little.
“Wait a minute! Did you just say yesterday?!”
“Yes, leader, you have been sleeping all night. At that time, leader, you fell asleep and died, so we didn’t dare to disturb you. ”
Speaking of the latter, Ye Jinghong had already lowered his head deeply.
In fact, not to mention Zhou Xu, everyone was exhausted and paralyzed after fighting the snowstorm for a day yesterday. As soon as the work was over, everyone slept more than the other one.
However, at this time, how could Zhou Xu have the leisure to wonder whose fault it was? Now all I want to do is run and confirm the food situation.
When we rushed to the new food storage place, a group of people gathered around it, and they didn’t know what to do for a while.
“The leader is here! The leader is here!!”
Amid the shouts, the villagers nervously made way for Zhou Xu to see the grain piled there at a glance.
He didn't even need to get close, but he could already feel the wet state of the food. From yesterday to now, the food had been soaked for an unknown amount of time, which made his face look ugly.
"Please punish me, leader!"
Ye Jinghong knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers also knelt down and shouted...
"Please punish me, leader!!"
"..."
Facing this battle, after taking two deep breaths, Zhou Xu gradually calmed down and waved his hand.
"Okay, everyone, get up, this matter is not your fault."
In just a short while, he had already sorted out some things. These grains will get wet because of snow!
Theoretically speaking, in such cold weather, water molecules condense, so even if the food is buried under the snow, the food will not spoil.
But the problem is that the ambient temperature changed during their transportation.
To put it simply, after moving indoors, the ambient temperature began to rise, and the snow falling on the grain bags began to melt.
At that time, Zhou Xu was not in a good state. He was already very exhausted when he maintained the mantra for a long time and controlled fifteen hyena human skeletons to carry food.
Under this premise, Ye Jinghong hurriedly came to tell him that the breeding farm had collapsed, so he hurried over again. From then until he returned to the house to rest, he braved the snowstorm to look for the escaped horses and people outside. I have already been so busy that I have forgotten everything about the granary.
In other words, in his impression, there was basically no big problem with moving food.
To put it bluntly, isn’t it just physical work? The snow covering the granary has been dug out. The next thing to do is to move the grain indoors. What could go wrong?
But it turned out that something really went wrong.
In the past, how could these villagers have so much winter food for them to store?
Even if there is, it will be eaten quickly and there will be no chance of it going bad.
This also makes them very lacking in relevant experience.
If it were Zhou Xu, if he had done the final thing at that time, he would have only needed to come over and take a look, and after noticing that the snow had melted, he would have quickly realized the problem.
However, he obviously couldn't blame the villagers for this matter.
Why is this so strange?
Blame them for not having common sense? Or is it because they saw him sleeping to death and didn't wake him up?
In the final analysis, it was not that he was so busy that he forgot about it, but that he was negligent.
“Move all this wet food outside!”
The villagers didn’t know why their leader did this, but since their leader had spoken, they naturally followed it quickly .
Zhou Xu’s idea at the moment is actually very simple, which is to use the outside as a refrigerator and freeze it first.
But that's not a refrigerator after all. We still have to find a way to get rid of the damp food.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Xu spoke again...
"Let the kitchen use these grains to make dinner first. If you can't use it, share it with everyone in the village, with priority Consume this batch of grain, and then count how much grain is left that has not been soaked in water!"
After quickly giving this order, Zhou Xu followed the busy figures and looked at them! It fell outside where snow was still falling.
“The snowstorm is over?”
When he came, he was preoccupied with food, and he really didn't pay attention to the wind and snow outside.
Although the heavy snow is still falling, and the cold wind blowing from time to time is still biting, the blizzard has stopped.
This made Zhou Xu, who was frowning, unconsciously relax his brows.
Although this snowy day is also very dangerous, compared with the blizzard, it really pales in comparison.
Invisibly, he had already overcome the most difficult period of time.
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu felt a little relieved, but he also knew that this was not the time to relax completely.
The biggest problem right now is the food in front of him!
As I said before, in order to survive the winter, he stocked up enough food in the village for the whole village for a month.
As for the food for this month, what is in the granary is only part of it. The other part is undoubtedly the rabbits and broilers placed in the breeding farm.
Last night, the rabbits and broilers in the breeding farm could be said to be out of stock. As a result, the food that was finally saved now also had problems? This is simply messing with his mentality!
