survival in the wilderness

Chapter 281 Pray
There are things to be busy, time flies.

Five days passed quickly, and Mang Village was no longer that quiet mountain village.

The village is bustling with activity every day, building houses and walls, cutting trees and transporting earth.

The old man Mu and the old lady Hua followed Gao Qiang and Lu Yu every day. Since they knew that they were going to teach the villagers to cook and sew, they were very excited, and they kept following them closely.

Not only did they learn by themselves, but they also chose eight people from the village to follow.

The experience of life made Old Man Mu and Pozi Hua understand how rare such survival skills are.

Mang Village is too far away from Dacun, and it is very difficult to learn new things.Now someone volunteers to teach them, of course they are very happy.

Not only that, when they knew that they could get food in exchange for working, the villagers couldn't sit still.

Children from a few years old to the elderly came here one after another, looking for work that they could do.

The new group of people, the mountains of firewood piled up in the yard, the strips of meat to dry, and the soft and comfortable fur all shocked the people of Mang Village.

Who can resist being moved when they learn that they can exchange for these good things that they have never seen in their entire lives as long as they work hard.

After a few days, Mang Village gradually became lively.

There are smart people who are already preparing to gradually improve their wooden houses according to the yard at the east end of the village.

What pleased the people of Mang Village was that Gao Qiang and Lu Yu had a very good attitude, answering every question and never hiding their secrets.

The same is true for Zuo Tian, ​​who has a unique skill.

In just a few days, the three of them were living Bodhisattvas in the hearts of the villagers, and their status continued to rise.

Old man Mu was also one of them, but he also noticed that out of the dozen or so people who came, only three remained, and the rest left early and returned late every day, bringing back more food.

After discussing with Mrs. Hua, they rushed to wait outside the courtyard at the head of the village before dawn, hoping to meet Lin Yan and the others.

Just because they listened to Gao Qiang's words, their heads were among the hunters.

The old wooden man's cloudy eyes occasionally flashed brightly.The excitement in my heart is hard to contain.

Whispered to Hua Pozi in a low voice, "Later, you must curry favor with good people, and don't offend them."

Mrs. Hua glanced at him, "Got it, don't be naughty, listen to the movement inside, you're getting up." What she thought in her heart was that Old Man Mu was too naughty today, could she not know the big things in front of her eyes, she was too underestimated people.

While listening to the movements in the yard, the two were vigilant about their surroundings. The village was not safe at night.

Some ferocious beasts specialize in activities in the dark and are hard to guard against.

At dawn, those who went out to hunt came out of the yard with dry food.

Seeing the old man Mu and Mrs. Hua guarding the door, Lin Yan and Lan Yue looked at each other without any surprise.

They already knew that there was someone outside the door, and they were discovered when Old Man Mu and Mrs. Hua first arrived.

Lin Yan asked directly, "What are you waiting here for?"

The old man squinted at the girl in front of him. She was about the same height as him, dressed in black, with clear eyes, like a girl who didn't know the world.

But he had already found out that this was the head of Gao Qiang and the others.

At that time, it was learned that a group of outsiders had to listen to a few maids. Old man Mu and Mrs. Hua didn't quite believe it, but Gao Qiang and the other three spoke so convincingly that they had no choice but to believe this fact.

Besides Lin Yan, Lan Yue and Wen Xue were also the most powerful people among the outsiders.

They didn't understand why a group of tall and strong men listened to a few girls, but this was the fact they found out after a few days.

At this moment, old man Mu looked at Lin Yan and then at Lan Yue, but he still didn't understand what was so special about them.

Mrs. Hua reacted faster, and said first: "Girl, you have brought great benefits to the village. We just want to thank you. After you came, we have never seen each other again. Old man Mu and I just wanted to See for yourself what your benefactor looks like."

The old man Mu came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the benefactor is too busy, we can't see anyone, so we waited here on purpose."

"I saw you, go back quickly." Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Ah, no, we can't go back like this." Old Mu said eagerly.

Lin Yan blinked his big eyes, "Oh, there are other things. I heard Gao Qiang and the others talk about you, and I am very grateful to the village for accepting us."

"We are the ones who thank our benefactor." Hua Pozi hurriedly said, "Benefactor, it's like this. There are also people in the village who go hunting, can they come with you?"

This is the purpose of old man Mu and Mrs. Hua waiting here.Mang Village lives on hunting and fishing, and there are many brave men in the village. If they can follow Lin Yan and the others, they will definitely get more prey.

The prey is the most important thing, as long as one more head is brought back, many people can live longer.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said: "The place we hunt is far away, it is very dangerous, and I am afraid it would be inappropriate for the villagers to follow. How about this, some of us are good at fishing, there is a big river three miles west of Mang Village, let the villagers Go fishing."

Compared with fighting fierce beasts, fishing is relatively less dangerous.In the past few days, they left early and returned late, and they have already found out the situation around the village.

Originally, I wanted to go fishing in the river again in a few days and prepare some fresh fish.Now that Old Man Mu and Granny Hua have brought it up, it can be done a few days in advance.

The old man Mu didn't want to give up the chance to hunt, "Our people are all good hunters, and they won't hold back. Take them with you, don't need special care, just let them follow."

Seeing the old man's eyes full of prayers, Lin Yan still refused, "Hunting is very dangerous, and most of the animals we pick are ferocious herds, which are even more dangerous."

Old Man Mu and Pozi Hua didn't dare to force them, and agreed to let the villagers go fishing with them.

Lin Yan immediately said: "Jiang Li, Lan Shu, you two stay here and take people to go fishing. Remember, you must ensure people's safety."

The two hurriedly reassured them that they were all regular soldiers and were good at activities in the water, especially fishing.

It was already noon when Old Man Mu and Pozi Hua selected more than 30 people and followed Jiang Li and Lan Shu to the river.

These 30 people are all good at fishing in the village, and they often come here to fish for parallel goods.

Heizi and Dagou are the best among them. They don't understand why Old Man Mu and Granny Hua insist on letting them follow them to the river.

They just want to go hunting and get rich prey.Let the villagers have more to eat.

In the past few days, seeing more and more meat piled up in the yard at the head of the village, the young and middle-aged people in the village couldn't sit still and wanted to follow.I didn't expect to be rejected and let them come to fish.

Jiang Li noticed that Heizi and the others were vaguely looking, some were puzzled, some were disdainful.I knew very well in my heart that these people looked down on me.

There is no other reason, the more than 30 people are all men, in good health.

In Mang Village, there is a clear division of labor between men and women. It is men's work to go out hunting and fishing, while women do some relatively easy work, such as cooking, washing, weaving and so on.

The status of men and women in the village is equal, just because women can have babies, which is an inherent advantage.
