How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 101 Sudden Snow Disaster

Chen Yixing quietly comforted his wife in the house. Soon, he felt the strong wind blowing wildly outside the house.

"Daughter-in-law, listen, is it snowing outside again?"

When Wang Yingying heard the words, she couldn't help but listen attentively.

She became a little worried when she discovered that the strong wind outside was indeed blowing and making a terrifying whimpering sound.

"Master, do you think there will be a sudden snowstorm or something like this in our place?"

Chen Yixing shook his head: "I don't know either. But decades ago, we did have several major snow disasters here. At that time, those who raised cattle, horses and sheep in the northern grasslands had their livestock destroyed. Many people froze to death, the losses were extremely heavy, and many people were frozen to death by the heavy snow. In order to survive, they went south of us to burn, kill and loot."

At this point, he suddenly sighed thoughtfully. "Once that happens, we will have another war here."

When Wang Yingying heard that there was going to be a fight, she seemed to be frightened and covered her mouth. "Master, that kind of thing shouldn't happen here, right?"

Chen Yixing shook his head, looking helpless. "Who knows what will happen next!"

As he said this, he heard the door of his hut being blown by the strong wind.

"Master, our thatched house won't be blown down by the wind, right?"

Chen Yixing frowned, worried: "Isn't it possible? A few days ago, my brother and I picked up a lot of big rocks, slates, and wooden planks, and placed them on our roof. I Now I'm just worried about the snow falling too hard outside and crushing our roof,"

……

The weather is so changeable.

Especially the violent snowstorm in the north.

It only took one night, and the snow outside had already fallen to an adult's knees.

When Chen Yixuan wakes up every night, he opens the door to check the weather outside.

Finding that the snow outside the door had reached his knees, Chen Yixuan quickly woke up his three sons who could take the trouble.

The four of them, father and son, took brooms, hoes, rakes, and shovels to shovel the heavy snow in the yard outside bit by bit.

Then, they deliberately dug several trenches.

Chen Yixing heard something moving outside. He was afraid of the cold and wanted to get up. Thinking of the warmth on the kang, he shrank into his own warm bed.

However, worried that his brother and sister-in-law would have objections to him, he crawled out with an uncomfortable look on his face.

He wanted to push his son up and ask him to go shoveling the snow together, but his wife Wang Yingying immediately stopped.

"It's so cold outside, why did you ask him to go out? You and I only have one son. If you don't feel sorry for me, I will!"

When Chen Yixing heard this, he had no choice but to pick up the wooden shovel and go out.

It was too cold outside.

As soon as Chen Yixing opened the door, he found that all the warmth in his body had been blown away by the cold wind.

After he trembled violently a few times, he followed his brother's family to dig trenches and shovel snow.A trap was also set outside the courtyard wall.

The five men had been outside for nearly half an hour, and when they couldn't hold it any longer, they each went back to their respective houses.

As soon as Chen Yixuan and his three sons returned to the house, Chen Feiyan called them to take a hot bath. "Come here quickly and wash them all."

With that said, Chen Feiyan called Chen Yixuan to wash his hair.

There are two worlds inside and outside this house.

It's very warm inside and very cold outside.

Chen Yixuan pushed his three sons and asked them to take a bath first. After he sat by the stove, he said worriedly to his wife.

"Daughter-in-law, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I feel a little bad."

Chen Feiyan asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Chen Yixuan looked serious: "I don't know if you have noticed that we are only on September 21, and there is such a heavy snowstorm outside. If it is really the coldest month of winter, I estimate that the animals on the mountain will freeze to death. Batch. By that time, there will be no carnivorous animals in the mountains to eat, and they will all go down the mountains to look for food."

When Chen Feiyan heard him say that it was September 21st in the lunar calendar, she quickly calculated in her mind, was September 21st in the lunar calendar late October in the Gregorian calendar, or what?
She couldn't calculate clearly, but she also understood that in places with high latitudes, it might snow in late September or early October...

"If the weather this year is really that bad, then our family will have to pay more attention when spring begins!"

"I heard someone say that when spring comes, those bears that hide in their caves will come out to look for food. Those bears are meat eaters, and they are extremely scary. They will eat their prey alive."

When Chen Yixuan heard this, he nodded in agreement.

"According to this situation, I estimate that in the spring of next year, bears and wolves will definitely come to our village. Our village chief will organize us, and each family will send a few men to patrol around the village every day."

Chen Feiyan said in surprise: "Does each family have to produce several boys? Will the village chief arrange for too many people?"

Chen Yixuan shook his head: "Daughter-in-law, how many people do we have in each household? It's not many!"

"The patrol teams patrolling around our village must each have about 20 people. If there are too many people, those hungry wolves, tigers, leopards and bears will have some scruples. About 30 years ago, there were dozens of people from our village. In a village on Lilu, they organized several patrol teams at the beginning of spring, but each patrol team only had about 10 people. As a result, one of the teams encountered a male bear in the morning, and the eleven men were killed by it. It was bitten to death. Later, all the men in the village were dispatched to drive the black bear away."

"Then... where are the bodies of the eleven men?" Chen Feiyan asked nervously, covering her chest.

Chen Yixuan frowned and said: "From the morning to the afternoon, which was only four or five hours, the male bear ate all the eleven men. When the villagers killed them, they only found their heads, and they were still alive." There are a few remaining fingers.”

Chen Feiyan's hair stood up when she heard this.

She suddenly realized how terrifying the bear was.How cruel.

"Daddy, have you ever thought that once that black bear starts eating people, it won't stop?"

Chen Yixuan: "I have thought about it, and I also know it."

"Later, the bear kept circling around the village. It ate dozens of people. It was only after the government offered a reward of [-] hunters that it was killed."

Chen Feiyan heard this and thought to herself, it seems that it would be bad if there were too many wild carnivores in ancient times!They all threaten the survival of the people at the bottom.

Thinking of the time when she was simulating life, her little girl was eaten by a wolf at the beginning of spring. Chen Feiyan suddenly grabbed Chen Yixuan's hand and said, "Should our family install more walls around our courtyard?" A trap?"

"For example, dig a few big pits four to five meters deep and buy some sharpened wood in the pits?"

Chen Yixuan nodded: "Tomorrow, I will take my sons and do this!"
