Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 187 The Restless Winter
Since many livestock died during the blizzard, there was no need to save meat at this time.

Led by Zhou Xu, the people who had already been dizzy from hunger started gobbling it up.

This time I don't care about the portion size, just eat until you are full.

With a lot of food in his belly, Zhou Xu felt that his whole body was alive.

After an overly sumptuous breakfast, Zhou Xu patted his swollen belly, and then looked at everyone.

"The next main job is to clear the snow. After all the snow on the roof and in the village area has been cleared, there will be nothing else to do today. Let's go back and rest!"

As soon as Zhou Xu said this, all the villagers present were stunned. They never expected that their leader would let them go back to rest at this difficult moment.

According to the villagers' thinking, the more this is the case, the harder everyone should work.

But the villagers obviously didn't consider a question, that is, what is hard work for?

Don't forget, it's snowing heavily now.

Because of the previous blizzard, many of them were injured, and those who were not injured were also very tired.

If this goes on like this, everyone will be useless.

And it just so happens that it is snowing heavily now, and there are few things that can be done. Unless necessary, doing forced labor will only increase the risk of injury to the villagers.

Instead of doing that, it's better to take a complete rest for two days and let them recharge their spirits.

After this period of time, the villagers have accumulated enough experience in the work of clearing snow, and each of them has a certain degree of familiarity in their actions.

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, following Zhou Xu's wishes, the guards were left behind, and the others went back to their residences to rest.

At this point in time, what they most want to do is sleep. After all, the fatigue from yesterday has not completely subsided by now.

After waking up, it’s still dark, and they don’t need to go to work. They just need to wrap themselves in quilts and warm themselves in front of the fire, and then boil a pot of hot water on it. After all, their leader also said that they should drink more if they have nothing to do. hot water.

It is obvious that there is a lot of snow outside, and they even suffered because of the blizzard yesterday, but now, they are full of indescribable comfort. This feeling is really too much for people living in this primitive era. It's amazing, it was unimaginable before.

At the same time, the life in Huangshan Village is not as comfortable as they are now.

The first snow after winter, also fell here, but it was just an ordinary moderate snow, which covered the rolling mountains with a layer of dazzling silver.

Under Shi Lei's command, the barren mountain 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 efficiency of transportation between villages.

Being able to transport various materials and equipment stably and relatively efficiently relieved Shi Lei of any worries to a large extent.

Until this winter comes...

Winter in this era is a test for any tribe.

Shi Lei, who used to be the leader of the tribe, couldn't be more clear about this point.

But this winter, it gave him a completely different feeling.

Their leader seemed to have thought of all the troubles they might encounter after the winter, and made complete preparations before the winter.

The climate in this mountain is already quite cold in late autumn. After winter, they put on fur vests early to keep warm, and at the same time, they have a house to shelter them from the wind and rain.

In addition, it will be more difficult to obtain food this winter than usual, so they have already stocked up on food as early as autumn.

These things are easy to say, but not so easy to do.

Otherwise, every winter, not so many people in each tribe would die.

Since the beginning of winter, it has snowed and the mountain roads are slippery and difficult to walk. Many jobs have been restricted. Now in the barren mountain village, according to Shi Lei's intention, they are eating the food they stocked up before the winter, and guarding their place carefully. An acre of land is divided into three parts, and they will mobilize troops after the spring of their leader.

But Shi Lei wasn't that naive, he wouldn't think that if they were safe, other tribes would be safe too.

As I said before, in this era, winter is not easy.

Primitive tribes don't know how to farm and breed, they can only hunt and gather, and they can't get a lot of food.

Once winter came, it was difficult to hunt, and there was less food to gather, so every winter, many primitive tribes had to die.

The only way to survive is to plunder the food of other tribes besides fighting hard!
No, with the recent snowfall, the tribe on the opposite side who had seen them walking around was also forced to survive and began to wander around the periphery of their tribe.

"At this time, we must not show weakness. As long as they dare to take a step closer, don't hesitate to beat them back immediately!"

As early as the beginning of winter, Shi Lei had already sent additional manpower to the sentry towers outside their barren mountain village, just for this time.

A situation like this is like two wild beasts testing and intimidating each other after they meet. In the process, the one that shows cowardice will be culled by the other immediately!

Shi Lei's orders were straightforward, and because their barren mountain village is geographically adjacent to the opposite tribe, various small-scale frictions and conflicts are not uncommon on weekdays, and they have saved a lot during the holidays. Will you be polite to the other party?
"kill!!!"

On the snowy ground in the mountains, there was a roar. After two rounds of attacks by the catapults, facing the members of the enemy tribe who started to turn around and flee, the barren mountain village showed a strong posture, and rushed up one by one with swords in hand.

Obviously, after the soldiers were fully equipped, the forging department in Heiyue Village was not idle.

Rattan shields and rattan armor, the new batch of raw materials have not been processed, so it is impossible to make them, but there are still swords, and the soldiers in the barren mountain village have already equipped them.

In the case of only one sword, there is no need for too much training. Basically, as long as you learn simple chopping, you can form a certain combat power.

After all, you have to believe that the primitive people on the opposite side will only be more amateurish than them.

Compared with the vigorous and menacing warriors in the barren mountain village, the primitive people on the opposite side paled in comparison. With just one face-to-face, when the blade saw blood, they were directly defeated and defeated!
The snowy mountain road was already slippery, and fleeing in a hurry was even more dangerous. A few primitive people who were injured and fell behind slipped on their feet and fell all over the place.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, he simply surrendered honestly, and a battle was temporarily drawn down.
