Chapter 81: Cloud Shadow in October 1996
Cloud Shadow in October 1996
Next was the sizzling cabbage pickling activity. Two pots of cabbage were produced in about 20 minutes. The whole village took four full days to pick up 10 tons of cabbage.
The white radish was partially pickled by slices, and more of it was sliced and dried into dried radish. The continuous rain in recent days is not suitable for drying vegetables. Fortunately, every household has a heated kang. The drying speed is also very fast. After the production is successful, it is sealed in a stone jar and distributed according to the "work points" of each family's recent labor volume.
This month, I began to try to calculate "work points" to ensure basic fairness. Although little brother Hussein has not been able to write Arabic numerals from 1 to 20, he can simply use beans to express how much each person works. clear.
There is a row of crystal bottles on the construction site. Each crystal bottle has a pattern mark. The pattern corresponds to the crystal identity card carried by the villagers. The crystal bottle is fixed on the shelf, and the small mouth can be filled with black crystal beads. Before going to work every day All work is counted as 60 black crystal beads and handed to Hussein, 30 in the morning and 30 in the afternoon. Anyone who comes to work and finishes a job will put a black crystal bead into his corresponding In the bottle, the number of crystal beads in the bottle after the end of the day is everyone's "work points", and after seven days, everyone gets paid according to the number of crystal beads in their respective bottles, which can be food, tools, clothes and cloth.
The simple and primitive management method is also a last resort. No one in the village is literate yet, and I don’t have time to start classes. It can also be adjusted at any time.
Clothes, shoes and socks are more shocking to the villagers than food and tools. The shoes, socks and clothes placed on the racks are exchanged for work points. Those with higher scores can choose first, and all the men, women and children in the village flock to Xinteng. Outside the stone house, I looked at the clothes on the partition outside the crystal curtain wall, and my saliva was drooling.
Most of the time I was in the village wearing a simple leather armor that was not too different from theirs, but everyone knows that there has always been a special cloth under my leather armor, and they have never seen the specific style of that cloth. , only know that they can't imitate it.
Now, I have brought out brand-new clothes, shoes and hats that they have never seen or heard of, each of which is a miracle!
Clothes, shoes and socks are available in all sizes. As long as you are patient, you can always find the right size. If it doesn’t fit a little, wear it inside if it’s tighter, and outside if it’s looser. Therefore, the villagers don’t wear underwear or jackets inside cloth clothes. A few, I didn't teach them how to wear them deliberately. The smart ones will see the occasional clothing label or the model on the packaging bag and learn how to wear it, but most of them match according to their own intuition.
Bright red and green are the most popular colors among the villagers, and the shoes that fit the feet are highly regarded as family heirlooms. They have never seen shoes with such strange shapes and strong sturdiness. Kawamura style short leather shoes, the shoes they see now are amazing.
Warm sweaters and cotton coats are also well-loved. Although the labor is expensive, some people can exchange them with their families to wear them. It feels absolutely unparalleled. Once worn, any animal skin and linen will never be seen again. .
The carnival in the village is still going on, but I can't be happy with them. Like the young people in Luhe Village, I am also concerned about the safety of Luhe Village. We have been here for several months. What is going on in Luhe Village? So we don't know at all.
According to the time of previous years, the river should have become shallower, but because of the rain some time ago, the river did not start to narrow and slow down significantly until two or three days after the weather was clear in the middle of the month.
Looking up on a sunny day, the snow line on the mountain has begun to move downward, and it is obviously only a matter of time before reaching Shanghe Village.
The high wall of this village is only more than half completed so far, and there is still a long way to go before it can completely prevent the danger. This year, the village will be connected to the outside world when the river becomes shallower. If there are werewolves on the opposite side, the village will be very busy. May be dangerous.
I have to go back to Luhe Village, not only to understand the situation of the werewolf disaster, but also to go back and see how the people of Luhe Village are now. If there are survivors, I have to bring them all back to Shanghe Village.
I only told a few old men in the village who could manage my decision, and they all agreed. The werewolf is a natural disaster. It is the best to save the people of Luhe Village. Now Shanghe Village is not what it used to be, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing. On the contrary, the manpower to move stones and build walls is very short. If people from Luhe Village can come over , the progress will definitely be greatly accelerated. I am afraid that it will not be completed before the heavy snow blocks the mountain this year, but it will definitely be more than enough before the village is connected to the outside next winter.
My plan is to take Ah Fu and two or three good young men down the mountain. Ana and the armed young and middle-aged people are on guard in the village, while the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are squatting at home and shutting their doors. They now have The knives have steel pipes and steel weapons, and they are not afraid of large beasts. They have enough food stored in each family.
My "dogleg" Hussein was left by me to assist others in defending the village. Three young people from Luhe Village, two men and one woman, went down the mountain with me to pick them up in Luhe Village.
The two men are the idiots who gave "the village gift" a few days ago.
The woman was the daughter of the Orion family, and her skills were no worse than that of the young men. She envied those two fools, and asked me if I could follow me and be loyal to me. I told her that I didn't need it at the moment, and she backed down very disappointed.
That's all for a man. I'll forget about it if I make a joke. I'll have a mental barrier to let a girl younger than me give Ashura a great gift.
We brought a lot of things in large and small bags, and we crossed the river and down the mountain in the first five days of the end of the month.
The burden and luggage were carried on the three of them. I was holding my son, and four stone spears were flying around to protect their safety.
After crossing the river, I sprinkled sand and dust all over the surrounding area. The radius of the flying yellow sand that spread was at least 50 meters. This is the maximum range I can control now.
The yellow sand was roaming, I closed my eyes and led the team forward. The surrounding wind and grass were all transmitted to my perception through the yellow sand. Even small animals like squirrels and moths could not escape my eyes and ears.
The yellow sand is only flying in the distance. The three of us and Ah Fu are clean around us, so we don't have to worry about the sand and dust affecting our breathing.
This idiot, Ah Fu, also knew that it was not safe to go down the mountain this time. When crossing the river, he repeatedly yelled at his sister, hoping that her sister would accompany him down the mountain, but Ana had the responsibility of guarding the village and could not follow us out.
The woods are very quiet, and you can clearly hear the rustling of the wind and sand hitting the leaves, as well as the chirping of birds, but it is very quiet, or dead silence.
Ah Fu was very anxious. It seemed to smell an unpleasant odor. It snorted several times as we walked down the mountain from the river bank, and walked carefully ahead of us, keeping an eye on the surrounding wind and grass.
Not only Ah Fu, but I could also smell the unpleasant stench in the air. Some kind of animal deliberately left its stench in the woods along the river bank, which shocked the surrounding creatures.
The flying sand also told me that there were a few incomplete skeletons on the edge of the forest. I didn't lean in to take a closer look, but I hoped they weren't human remains.
The scenery was not much different from when we went down the mountain in previous years, but the tense atmosphere always made me unable to relax. We didn’t go very fast along the way. The four stone spears that didn’t come in handy and the yellow sand around made me exhausted. At noon, I had to find a sheltered rock wall to rest, so I hurried to eat, drink, and sleep.
When I woke up, I felt much better. In the afternoon, we continued to walk down the river bank to reach the relatively flat foothills, and we began to see Luhe Village in the distance.
I can hardly believe that the severely collapsed and dilapidated village in the distance is our Luhe Village. We were only a few months away from home, and Luhe Village was just like that.
The sun shines in the sky, but people can't feel much temperature. The village between the green mountains and green waters and the reeds seems to be asleep, and there is not a trace of people in sight.
My heart was terrified. If I hadn't seen that the compound on the slope of the village was still intact, and there were many sharp wooden stakes erected by the walls, I would have lost the courage to go down the mountain and have returned home.
The three people who came with me were also worried. The state of Luhe Village was obviously very bad. Not only that, but they found more and more abnormal marks in the woods around us. They found deep spots on the trunks of many trees. Deep scratches, the marks are very deep, and it is difficult to leave such terrible marks with a sharp iron axe. Judging from the location of the scratches, the beast is likely to be much larger than the bear and the bluff.
Considering the lack of concealment by the river beach, we moved along the foothills towards Luhe Village. The "foothills" is the part where the hillside meets the surrounding flat land. If we ignore the beast attacks and landslides and mudslides caused by heavy rain, the soil is actually fertile and suitable for farming and farming. For living, Shanghe Village, where we used to live, is actually located on the "foothill", which connects to a relatively flat area on the other side of the river.
According to my current understanding, the mountainous areas we descended all the way down were roughly distributed in steps, and the small plain where Luhe Village was located was the bottom of the mountains.
The road after going down the mountain is not easy to walk, and the outermost periphery of Feiwu Huangsha has sensed quite large creatures several times in all directions, but those things are not very timid, and immediately escaped after being wrapped in yellow sand. I didn't have time to tell the difference.
There was too much yellow sand scattered around me, obscuring my vision, and the three people in the same group couldn’t see anything. It was the first time they saw me perform such a large-scale “witchcraft”, and they were all very close to me. Get lost in a sandstorm.
Those things are out of the range of my sand and dust, but I can't run away. The sounding sand I scattered is a precious stock that has been handy after repeated practice and play. Even if the sand is out of my control, I can vaguely sense it. out of their direction. When they broke into the sandstorm, the sand was controlled by me and deliberately burrowed into their hair, in order to grasp their whereabouts.
I just want to go to Luhe Village now, and I don't have the heart to care about them, but that doesn't mean I don't plan to kill them.
The yellow sand with claws and claws escorted us to Luhe Village. In the distance, we could hear a sharp and hoarse howl and the sound of beating iron basins for warning. When I heard someone shouting, I was refreshed. After entering the village, I found a room There was a living creature hidden in the half-collapsed house. He reached out and picked up a stone spear beside him and threw it out. The stone spear pierced the thatched roof with a thin brittle rock shell and directly nailed the contents inside.
"Ouch!!!" The terrifying screams were heart-rending, and the monsters that had retreated outside the village also howled one after another.
The yellow dust from the sky invaded the village, which made the people guarding the compound extremely frightened. They threw stones to attack the rolling sand and dust, but those stones were discovered by me at the first time, and they all twisted to one side.
The sand and dust faded to the outside of the village and turned into an arc-shaped barrier that revealed me and the three people I was traveling with. The villagers who were squatting behind the high wall with their weapons clearly saw it and cheered with joy. The good news, others didn't believe it, and also scrambled to climb up to see us.
