survival in the wilderness

Chapter 279
In the seemingly flat wasteland, weeds are everywhere, mixed with rye and rice, more like wild.

Looking at the strips of meat and fish hanging from the eaves, Lin Yan understood that the main food in Mang Village also came from hunting.

Perhaps, those big black dogs are not only used to guard the house, but also good hunters.

After turning around, Lin Yan had a bottom line in his mind.

People in Mang Village habitually stockpile food to deal with the cold season when they don't know when it will come.

She didn't directly say that the cold season is coming in more than 20 days.

Settle down your own people first, rest for two days, and they also need to store supplies for the cold season.When they see their methods, the people of Mang Village will naturally rush forward.

These days, as long as they can feed the villagers well, they will definitely be respected.

Wen Xue was cleaning up the sundries in the yard, when she saw the two of them coming in, she asked softly, "How is it?"

"It's a small dilapidated village with no food, and it's hard to survive the cold season."

After looking around, it would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.It is really dilapidated and poor, time is tight, and materials for the cold season must be prepared within ten days.

Wen Xue didn't react too much, and everything was expected, "It's good to have a place to stay, and the house can be tidied up tomorrow. Let's build a shed in the yard tonight. Fortunately, when we enter the village I brought a few prey, and I can have a full meal later. Compared with the wild, this place is at least somewhat safer."

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "You are right. It is very lucky to find a place to settle down before the cold season. We must learn to be content."

After a full meal, everyone gathered together, and Lin Yan said directly: "Today is already September [-]th, and the cold season is approaching. Mang Village is the best choice for us to spend the cold season. Time is tight, and there is a shortage of supplies in the winter season , everyone should work together to cut firewood, hunt, and repair houses.”

Lan Xing said with a smile: "I've been wandering around in the wasteland for almost half a year, and it would be great to stop and cultivate for a while."

"It makes sense to say that." Lin Yan smiled, looked around, and saw that everyone's faces were more or less tired and weathered. Compared with the spiritedness when they left, at this moment, they have changed their appearances, and they can no longer see the original appearance.

In fact, it was not without entanglement and hesitation in her heart. She had fought life and death several times, and experienced killing and bloody baptism, just because of her decision-making.

These people may not understand what they are taking risks for.But they believed her and had no regrets.

But what about her, can she deserve this trust and trust in life and death?
When she ran for her life several times, she also questioned herself and felt hesitant.Especially in the dead of night, such thoughts will continue to invade.

Lan Yue had a keen mind, she didn't say anything, she just silently accompanied her, but the pressure Lin Yan was under was always there.

Seeing that Lin Yan was in a trance, Lan Yue answered the conversation naturally, "I have decided to spend the winter season in Mang Village, and I will have a good rest tonight. Starting tomorrow, each of us will follow the plan."

Everyone nodded.

Wen Xue said: "Since you want to stay in the village, should you build a good relationship with the people in the village and remind them that the cold season is coming?"

There are thousands of people in Mang Village. As outsiders, they must do something if they want to blend in.Wen Xue was right to worry.

After pondering for a few seconds, Lan Yue nodded, "You're right."

After looking around, his eyes wandered between Lan Xing, Lu Yu and Gao Qiang.

Lan Xing asked directly: "What's the matter, just tell me."

"Among the three of you, choose two people to deal with the villagers, and you must handle the relationship well."

The reason why Lanyue hesitated was that there were too few of them, and each of them shouldered heavy responsibilities. At most, only two people could be left to handle interpersonal relationships.

Each of the three of them is a person who is easy to win the favor of others and knows how to deal with people.

Lan Xing has a free and easy temper, and can talk to anyone.Lu Yu has a delicate mind and is good at observing words and expressions.High-strength and simple-minded, with strong external advantages.

Lan Xing rolled his eyes, "Let the two of them stay, and I'll hunt and chop firewood." There are fierce beasts everywhere outside, and stronger force is needed.

Compared to myself, Lu Yu and Gao Qiang are weaker, it is best to stay.

Lu Yu and Gao Qiang didn't object either, no matter what the arrangement was, they would obey.

Lan Yue rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement. "In addition to dealing with the villagers, you also need to repair the houses. It is best to let the villagers help. We will exchange food."

This is also a good way to integrate into the village, and the practical benefits make it easier to win favor.

Lin Yan came back to his senses, and agreed: "That's right. You two stay and repair the house, and the rest of you go hunting and chopping firewood. With our ability, it's not a problem to exchange the prey for the labor of the villagers."

Thinking of the wasteland around the village that he saw today, Lin Yan said: "Look at the rye and rice they planted. It is very difficult to get a good harvest, but you can also start from the plant."

But Lanyue said: "It's not appropriate to farm the land. The people in Mang Village have their reasons for farming like this."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes and understood, "That's right, if all the plants are cultivated intensively and grown into rye and rice, it will attract countless birds and even more ferocious beasts."

"That's right." Lan Xing nodded, "Mang Village seems to have a lot of people, but its fighting power is very weak. It is too difficult to protect the safety of the village. They just want to avoid the beasts, so they have to choose to starve."

In front of the ferocious beast, his life was vulnerable, so Mangcun had to weigh the pros and cons, and mixed rye and rice among the weeds to confuse his vision, so that he could still gain a little.

Arranging the next thing to do, this night, after running around for several days, they finally got a good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got busy, doing their own thing.

Lin Yan and Lan Yue led the team to hunt. They couldn't go out during the long cold season, so they had to prepare enough food.

Hunting and picking wild fruits and vegetables has become their main task.

Wen Xue led three people to cut firewood near the village.In addition to food consumption in the cold season, there is the greatest demand for firewood.

A plan was made yesterday, to build an earth kang in the wooden house, and to run the flue of the stove around the house, so as to use all the heat energy as much as possible.

The thatched huts are dilapidated and have limited protection against wind and cold, and must be changed as much as possible.

When the people from Mang Village rushed over to watch the fun, only Gao Qiang and Lu Yu were there. Their first task was to solve the communication barriers with the villagers.

As for how to solve it, it depends on their abilities.

Being able to stand out from the many people in the army, the two are inconspicuous in the team. Compared with ordinary people, they are people with outstanding abilities in all aspects.

Language learning ability is an essential skill for going out.

Gao Qiang quickly won the approval of the villagers by virtue of his honest and honest appearance and good cooking skills.

Lu Yu was not bad either. The two cooperated tacitly. It only took half a day to successfully break into the village and communicate easily.

When Lin Yan and the others came back with their prey at night, the two of them had already become one with the villagers.
