Chapter 224 Already Prepared
Before, Zhou Xu was still complaining in his mind that Chitose turned around and collapsed again. As a result, not long after, he also followed in Chitose's footsteps.
The next morning, Zhou Xu woke up and his energy was obviously restored. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to check Chitose's situation.
Although according to his previous experience, Chitose, who just swallowed the blood of the saber-toothed tiger yesterday, might not be able to wake up in a short time, he still made a habitual confirmation.
It’s a new day, and he has basically given instructions for everything that needs to be done. Even if there is anything, you can go to Ye Jinghong or Li Ce. Under normal circumstances, they can solve most things.
There was nothing that he, the leader, needed to do personally at the moment. Zhou Xu's main task now was to rest. He was currently lying on the bed comfortably covered with an animal skin quilt.
Isn’t this the reason why a leader has a large group of subordinates?
If he has to do everything himself, then what is the meaning of the existence of those subordinates?
But this does not mean that he is fine at all.
After all, there are some things that Ye Jinghong and Li Ce cannot handle.
It was just after noon when Ye Jinghong came over.
At this point in time, Zhou Xu had just returned from sleep and could not fall asleep in a short time. He was paralyzed on the bed in a daze.
After hearing Li Shitou's report that Ye Jinghong was here, he put on his clothes and sat at his desk.
“Come in.”
With permission, Ye Jinghong quickly opened the door and entered.
"Chief."
"What's the matter?"
"It's about the village's food storage."
Ye Jinghong went straight to the topic as soon as he came in.
“I’m afraid we don’t have enough food here.”
"How come it's not enough?"
Zhou Xu frowned.
"I just processed the carcass of the saber-toothed tiger yesterday. I should have obtained a lot of meat, right?"
While the saber-toothed tiger was skinning and shaving its flesh yesterday, he had already gone to test the new mantra combination. , and then he was so tired that he went to bed early, so he really wasn't particularly clear about this matter.
At this moment, facing Zhou Xu’s question, Ye Jinghong shook his head.
"The thin skin and bones of the saber-toothed tiger do have some meat, but it is much less than we expected."
"In addition, the centaur family stayed with us before, and they increased a lot. Food consumption. "
"Although the six little wolf cubs have little appetite, they all have to eat meat. After this meal, the number is actually quite a lot."
< br>"Based on the current situation, the food in the village can last for five or six days at most."
At this point, Ye Jinghong's voice paused.
"Should we reduce the food supply first, temporarily change it to one meal a day, and at the same time send soldiers to ride to Black Moon Village to transport food."
Obviously, before talking about this matter, Ye Jinghong He has already thought of a response strategy, and this is indeed his style of doing things.
Knowing that the roads were blocked by heavy snow in the wilderness, the wooden wheels could not turn at all, so I proposed to let the soldiers ride back to bring food.
But to be honest, this is not a good idea, at most it is an emergency strategy. After all, the space on the horseback is limited, and you can't bring much food at all.
According to his idea, the soldiers don't have to do anything else every day, just ride horses and keep running back and forth between the two villages.
You know, although the snow has stopped, the temperature currently has no tendency to rise at all. The snow in the wild is so thick, who knows when it will melt away? This is a big problem affecting their transportation.
However, he did not appear too nervous. Looking at Ye Jinghong with a serious face, he smiled and said...
"Don't worry, this matter can be solved. Calculating the time, it should be the day after tomorrow."< br>
“…”
In a blink of an eye, it was noon the day after tomorrow. Counting the time, Zhou Xu took Ye Jinghong outside the village.
At this moment, the two of them were chatting without saying a word. At this moment, there was a movement in the distance.
“Coming.”
Hearing this, Ye Jinghong subconsciously looked into the distance. The snow-covered ground looked really beautiful under the sunlight. It was so dazzling that Ye Jinghong narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, two horses equipped with harnesses burst into his sight, and his eyes widened.
For Ye Jinghong, it was not unusual to see a horse. It was wearing harness and it looked like it belonged to them.
The focus of his attention right now is behind the horse.
"Is that a wooden cart?"
Muttered Ye Jinghong, he rejected Zhou Xu before he could speak.
"Impossible, the snow in the wild is so thick that the entire wheel has to sink into the snow. It is impossible to run at all, let alone run so fast..."
However, Ye Jinghong hadn't even finished speaking, as the two horses pulling the cart ran closer and closer, and soon, he couldn't believe it even if he wanted to.
“It’s really a wooden cart?”
Ye Jinghong’s expression was startled, but then he noticed something was wrong.
“No, why does this wooden cart have no wheels?”
At this moment, Ye Jinghong, whose mind was obviously unable to turn around, couldn’t help but be a little dumbfounded.
What he saw in front of him was undoubtedly beyond his understanding once again, which made him immediately cast a questioning look at their leader.
He knew without even guessing that this must be a new gadget created by their leader.
As someone who has been following Zhou Xugang since he time traveled, Ye Jinghong really understands their leader's ability to create novel gadgets.
There was a time when he thought that no matter what he saw, he would no longer be surprised.
Facts have proved that I am still naive.
"This thing is called a sled, and it is a transportation tool specially used on snow."
While Zhou Xu was talking, two transporters had already set up the sled and stopped not far away.
Zhou Xu took advantage of the situation and walked forward with Ye Jinghong. He pointed at the supplies that had been piled up on the sled and introduced them slowly.
“The back of this sled is spacious and can be stacked with a large amount of supplies. Normally, it would take more than ten or twenty cavalry to transport supplies, but now a sled can be easily put down.”
Said. Here, Zhou Xu's voice paused.
"I saw the snow in the wild before and guessed that there might be problems with the transportation of materials. So when the messenger came over before, I asked him to bring the design drawings of the sled to Zhuang Mengdie and asked them to speed up the production."
“When the messenger came two days ago, I knew that the sled would be able to bring supplies today.”
“But it is true that the saber-toothed tiger produces so little meat. It was beyond my expectation.”
