Chapter 187 Restless Winter
Since they also killed many farm animals in the snowstorm, there was no need to save on meat at this time.
Led by Zhou Xu, everyone who was already dizzy from hunger started gobbling up their food.
This time I don’t care about the portion size, just eat everything until you are full.
After eating a lot of food, Zhou Xu felt like he was alive.
After an overly sumptuous breakfast, Zhou Xu patted his bulging belly and then looked at everyone.
“The next main task is to clear the snow. After all the snow on the roof and in the village area is cleared, there will be nothing else to do today, so everyone can go back and rest!”< br>
As soon as Zhou Xu said these words, all the villagers present were stunned. They did not expect that at this difficult time, their leader would let them go back to rest.
According to the villagers’ opinion, at times like this, everyone should work harder.
But the villagers obviously did not consider one question, that is, what is the purpose of hard work?
Don't forget, it's snowing heavily now.
Because many of them were injured in the previous snowstorm, and those who were not injured were also very tired.
If this continues, everyone will be ruined.
And it happens to be a snowy day, so there is very little that can be done. Unless necessary, forcing them to work will only increase the risk of injury to their villagers.
Rather than that, it is better to take a complete rest for two days to let them recuperate.
Over this period of time, the villagers have accumulated enough experience in clearing snow, and each one of them acted with some familiarity.
Although the start of work in the morning was delayed due to some minor accidents, they still cleared all the snow in the village at noon.
Then he followed Zhou Xu's wishes and left the person on duty behind, while the others returned to their residences to rest.
At this point in time, what they want to do most is sleep. After all, the fatigue from yesterday has not completely subsided yet.
When they woke up, it was still dark, and they didn’t need to go to work. They just needed to wrap themselves in quilts and gather around the stove to keep warm. They would also boil a kettle of hot water on top. After all, their leader also I said, drink more hot water if you have nothing to do.
It was clear that there was heavy snow falling outside, and they even suffered from a snowstorm yesterday, but now, they felt an indescribable sense of comfort. This feeling was really too much for people living in this primitive era. It's amazing. It was unimaginable before.
At the same time, life in Huangshan Village was not as pleasant as they were now.
The first snow after winter also fell here. It was just an ordinary moderate snow, covering the rolling mountains with a dazzling silver coating.
Under Shi Lei's supervision, Huangshan Village, which was officially upgraded to a village, has developed quite well during this period of time.
Especially after the tribe built an ox cart, which greatly improved the transportation efficiency between villages.
Being able to transport various materials and equipment stably and relatively efficiently has relieved Shi Lei's worries to a large extent.
Until this winter comes...
The winter of this era is a test for any tribe. Shi Lei, who was once the leader of the tribe, knew this very well.
But this winter brought him a completely different feeling.
Their leader seemed to have thought ahead of time of all the troubles they might encounter when winter came, and made complete preparations before winter came.
The climate in the mountains was already quite cold in late autumn. After winter, they put on fur vests early to keep warm, and there were houses to protect them from wind and rain.
In addition, it will be more difficult to obtain food during this winter than usual, so they have already stocked up on food as early as autumn.
These things are simple to say, but not so easy to do.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people dying in various tribes every winter.
Since the beginning of winter, the snow has made the mountain roads slippery and difficult to walk, and many jobs have been restricted. Now, in Barren Mountain Village, people in Huangshan Village are following Shi Lei's wishes, eating the food they stocked up before winter, and taking good care of their place. One-third of an acre of land, waiting for their leader to launch an army after spring.
However, Shi Lei is not so naive and will not think that if they themselves are content, other tribes will be content as well.
As mentioned before, in this era, winter is difficult.
The primitive tribes did not know how to farm and breed. They only hunted and gathered, and could not obtain a large amount of food.
Once winter comes, it is difficult to hunt, and there is less food to collect. Therefore, many people in the primitive tribes die every winter.
For those who survive, the only way besides resisting is to plunder food from other tribes!
No, when it snowed recently, the tribe on the opposite side that they were all walking around started to wander around the periphery of their tribe due to their survival.
"We must not show weakness at this time. As long as they dare to take a step closer, there is no need to hesitate and fight them back immediately!"
As early as early winter, Shi Lei had already gone to the outskirts of their barren mountain village. The sentry tower has sent extra manpower to defend against this time.
A situation like this is like two wild beasts testing and intimidating each other after meeting. In this process, the one who shows cowardice will immediately be killed by the other!
Shi Lei's orders were given swiftly and swiftly, and because their barren mountain village was geographically adjacent to the opposite tribe, there were many small-scale frictions and conflicts on weekdays. They also saved a lot during the holidays, but where are they now? Will you be polite to the other person?
“Kill!!!”
On the snow in the mountains, a roar sounded. After two rounds of attacks by the slingers, facing the enemy tribe members who started to turn around and flee, the barren mountain village Bian showed his strong posture, and rushed forward one by one with swords in hand.
Obviously, after equipping the soldiers with equipment, the forging department in Black Moon Village was not idle either.
The new batch of raw materials such as rattan shields and rattan armor cannot be made until they have been processed, but there are still swords, and the soldiers in Barren Mountain Village have already equipped them.
In the case of just a sword, it does not require much training. Basically, as long as you learn simple chopping, you can develop a certain degree of combat power.
After all, you have to believe that the primitive people on the opposite side will only be more amateur than them.
Compared with the energetic and menacing warriors of the barren mountain village, the primitive people on the opposite side pale in comparison. With just one encounter, they were killed with blood on the blade and they were completely defeated!
Snowy mountain roads are already slippery, making hasty escape even more dangerous. Several primitive people who were injured and fell behind slipped and fell down.
When he saw that he could not escape, he simply surrendered, and the battle came to an end temporarily.
