Wolf King

Chapter 24: Welfare room

Acorns need to be soaked in water to kill insects before processing. This operation is not difficult for humans, but it is very difficult for Snow Werewolves... Even the bean sprouts are digged. Where can I find the equipment to soak acorns?

It’s simple because it’s ugly. Anyway, it’s mainly because it’s too lazy to feed animals. Xiao Yun simply skipped the step of soaking and killing insects, and took the cubs to dig out the surface layer. Burn the floor directly to heat it.

When the floor was warm, the whole house was warm. The young people were excited. They took the job of adding firewood spontaneously without Xiao Yun's words. They also dragged the vine grass and nested in the activity room. The activity room was also 50 square meters. The chase rooms on the left and the right are much more spacious than the long, ondol room.

Xiao Yun doesn’t care if the cubs will crush the dried acorns, or that sentence, anyway, it’s for the livestock, not so much about it... As for the food to eat, he took it The water jars were filled with snow water and soaked for half a jar. When I turned back, I emptied them and then pulverized and boiled them to change their taste.

In addition to using the floor heating of the mobile home, Xiao Yun also plans to open the pottery kiln-without worrying about fuel, the pottery is naturally more beneficial, and the pot pots in the tribe are still nervous.

This time, Xiao Yun pondered that he wanted to burn a larger pottery pot for use. If there is a pottery pot, the bean sprouts need not depend on the pits. He wants to soak some acorns and does not need to occupy the water tank for water.

It’s hard work to collect mud on the banks of the river and the edge of the swamp in this weather, but the sub-zero weather is not bad. At least the large beasts in the wild are not as active as before. Mud, don't always have to bring an adult.

Retrieved the mud, rubbed it with the warm water of the large stove in the bathroom, and rubbed it, plus the powder of the broken pottery in the tribe (smashed slowly with quartz stone, don’t mention hard work) , Xiao Yun took some of the youngest hands of the youngest people to sculpt the pottery pot-the diameter of this pottery is about 0.8 meters, which is much larger than the pottery pot that was burned before, although it is not a commodity to be sold, There is no need to pursue a round enough, but the basic form cannot collapse?

Rub out the bottom of the pot with mud balls, and then squeeze out a long strip of mud to add up. Considering the touching area of ​​the pottery kiln, only up to three pots can be burned at a time. Xiao Yun must be cautious enough in his work; squeeze the basic clay tires. Even such a large pottery pot can’t be burnt and then glazed. Xiao Yun simply brushes the glaze on the dry clay pots. As long as you sell, glaze uses feldspar, quartz stone, grass ash and mud, and natural pigments are not necessary.

The clay kiln has three pottery basins with some corners and corners. I can’t say it, I use it all. Then I squeeze out the pottery bowl and the colorless glaze. I also pinch a few large spoons, one thin and one thick. The pottery knife also tried to burn two...

When the pottery started to burn, the temperature in the firewood room was higher than that of the mobile home. There is nothing to say. As many acorns as possible can be piled in.

One day and one night, the kiln pottery was burnt, and the first batch of acorns were also dried. Xiao Yun picked up a shake, and heard the sound of the acorn kernel collision, and he played in the nest. The vine grasses, the ones who ran outside to play with the snow, or the cubs holding their parents coquettishly found them, and they worked together to unshell the acorns...

The cubs are busy, and the adults are not idle. The cubs spend most of their time back and forth in the house doing things, while the adults go in the wind and snow. The reason is that after Xiao Yun went to the places where cattle and sheep were kept in captivity, he disliked the feeding methods of the tribes—tossed the forages for the cattle and sheep to eat. Dirty, muddy, snowy manure is so dirty, wasteful and unhygienic.

In the past, the tribes didn't think it was wrong to feed this way. Anyway, the tribes on the grassland did so. Now Xiao Yun pointed out that he wanted to improve. The big guy looked at each other for a while, but there was no objection... After all, the facts have proved that the changes proposed by A Yun are good for the people, and the Snow Wolf people reflect the arc a little longer. It is equal to stubbornness.

So the cub Xiao Yun moved his mouth, and the adult people began to break their legs. Xiao Yun’s suggestion was to change the open-air sheep pens mixed together into batch feeding mode, that is, use soil or wood or thorns. Every hundred cattle and sheep are separated and fed in a long strip area, and then in this open-air feeding area, all the usable things such as earth, stone and wood are piled up to allow the cattle and sheep to eat their grass when they bow their heads, but A simple food trough where you can't step in or pull feces inside.

For a total of 20 adult people, this is indeed a major project that can be called "transforming nature"... it is equivalent to creating a well-planned feeding area and truly free-ranging livestock. "Circle" up, in the weather that there are no convenient tools to use, and the ground is frozen hard, this broken thing is really killing the snow wolves.

"I've never felt that doing things is such a hard job!"

"It's so tiring, it hurts..."

"Aoao Aohao has hit the stone, it hurts..."

"Why do I think there are too many cattle and sheep in the tribe now..."

"Hands are freezing..."

......The Snow Wolf people screamed like this.

After three snowfalls, Xiao Yun burnt pottery from the five kilns, and the cubs shelled out more than 20 tons of acorns for feeding, the tired adult people who had peeled off their skins and bald claws finally Get the open-air sheepfold in the zoning area of ​​cattle and sheep. The patriarch took a hot bath and fell asleep, cheered up and took Xiao Yun to "inspect" their work. After Xiao Yun showed a somewhat dissatisfied but basically acceptable expression, the patriarch developed a sense of relief. The tone was very itchy, and the small emotion of wanting to hit Xiao Yun.

"Cultivate like this first, and think about building a decent sheepfold when you have more manpower." Xiao Yun reluctantly begged. "If it's done here, patriarch, see if we build another house next. ?"

"...Isn't the room enough?" The patriarch's rage was interrupted by this inexplicable proposal.

"How can it be enough, now there are more than a dozen people in the family who are squeezing a kang." Xiao Yun said with a deep face, "Did I not say that at first, the fire kang of this chase shop is for emergency use, it is used to ensure first' Is there a basic requirement for this."

"..." The patriarch couldn't remember Xiao Yun saying this, but he was not very confident in his memory, so he could not keep his mouth closed.

"Houses with underfloor heating now need to bake acorns, meat strips, as a living room for the clan, and eat inside. The dining room and living room are integrated, basically they are public spaces, and cannot be used for other purposes. Then, to grow mushrooms, I have to build another mushroom house. Do you agree with this?"

The patriarch nodded, and the enoki mushrooms collected in the wild had been eaten two days earlier. Although he did not like to eat, the culinary lovers especially missed the days when the enoki mushrooms could be eaten.

"Single dogs in the clan... uh, it’s not a problem for the cubs to squeeze together with the person without a partner, but there are couples in the clan, that is, a pair of partners. During the period of snow and snow The adult females in our clan all have the probability of estrus in the spring after the change. We have to prepare private space for those who want to have children and want to be partners. After all, the development of the clan is inseparable from the newborn cubs, right?"

"Ah!" The patriarch opened his mouth wide, this question... he hadn't really considered it!

In fact, this does not blame the patriarch, because in terms of the current proportion of the tribe, the tribe really does not lack cubs-including Xiao Yun, there are twelve minor cubs in the tribe, accounting for three-thirds of the entire tribe’s population. More than one, this ratio is amazing no matter in which tribe... Of course, the reason for this situation is very sad, not because of the high fertility rate of the tribe, but because of the loss of too many adult tribes in the past ten years, Xiao Yun and Wool Four of them are orphans. Five of the other eight are single parents. The three parents are complete. Two of the cubs are also a pair of siblings. In other words, there are two complete families with parents and children.

With such a tragic population composition, it is reasonable to say that the tribes will not consider the issue of fertility at least half of these cubs, because the number of adult tribes is insufficient, and the food collected by hunting will not be too abundant. In this case, the female snow werewolf The cubs delivered by estrus mating cannot guarantee survival, so the female snow werewolf will definitely skip the estrus period, not estrus, or not mate during the estrus-in the nature, there are a few creatures that estrus all year round like humans. There are only two estrus periods, each time only three to five days, only during this time the snow werewolves will have the desire to mate.

This is also where most intelligent races are different from humans, and females decide whether to mate and have children.

The patriarch did not consider this issue before, it was based on the consideration of the clan's living environment, and Xiao Yun was dragged to the world's predecessors, and even the winter was a problem. Now that there is a house-knock for keeping out the cold, there is wild boar meat that exceeds the meat reserves in previous years, and bean sprouts supplemented with vitamins, and the consumption of trading pottery is also saved. This survival advantage continues, and one or two more cubs will be raised next year. Not a problem.

"Really...should be like this." The patriarch nodded and stared at Xiao Yun again with a lover's eyes, and the major events that he and his patriarch neglected, A Yun, actually kept thinking about how he didn't find out long ago Ayun is so good?

"..." Xiao Yun silently stayed away from him, "I have walked around the tribe several times during this time. The terrain we live in is still good. The elevation is relatively high relative to the water source, and there is no seepage of groundwater or soil in the foundation. It is relatively tight and not loose, and can be used as a long-term residence, so I think that the small family living room we build can be based on the durability of more than ten years as a standard, try to be in place once, so as not to spend time to repair and repair in the future."

"Hmm..." The patriarch showed a deep face, which shows that he can't keep up with Xiao Yun's ideas... let's not embarrass him. As the snow wolf's patriarch can think about next year's things this year, even if he is far-sighted, he also expects others to be born. Understand long-term planning?

"In this case, we have to think about the planning of the residential area..." Xiao Yun picked up the tree branch and crouched down to draw a city framed by a cross street on the mud... Uh... Town... Uh... Village layout, "This is a tribe. The ground elevation from this area to this area is higher than the river surface and can be used as a place of residence. Now we have two temporary kang rooms and a temporary mobile home, showing a character pattern. Next, if you want to build a new building, my suggestion is to extend it to the west or east first, especially the east one. There is a lot of soil and debris here. Did you find it when you were working in the sheep pen? It’s hard to come to farm, it’s better to use it as a homestead..."

"Hmm--" The patriarch's expression became more serious, and he got a horse in his heart. What was Ayun talking about? Does he continue to pretend to understand or not to confess?

"... Patriarch, what do you think?" Xiao Yun looked up.

The patriarch's face was firm and his eyes firm: "...just do it." It was too shameful to admit that he didn't understand anything. He was all old and wanted a face!

Xiao Yunqiang refrained from laughing and stood up and clapped his hands earnestly, sincerely: "Since the patriarch you also agree, we will discuss with the clan. Now it is winter, we don't need to graze patrols, just use the power of the whole family to solve the family housing problem.

That's right... Xiao Yun just wanted the patriarch to not understand, so that he could do what he wanted, and the final interpretation was all with him.

The clan people who have repaired sheepfolds for more than ten days are lying tired on the kang, and they are corpses. Called the activity room assembly-also including two mothers with complete partners and children. Others may not be willing to give birth to a baby this year, but since Xiao Yun used "family housing" as a gimmick to encourage childbirth and cultivate private property awareness for the tribe, then you can’t put Someone missed it.

Why did he cultivate private property consciousness? Xiao Yun also thought about it... It is naturally harmonious and beautiful for all tribes to be like a family, but sooner or later the tribe wants to expand and incorporate the same tribe. If there is not enough population base, it is nonsense to talk about any development. Well, before that, Xiao Yun must first cultivate a sense of private property for the clan, take good care of the personal interests of the clan belonging to the elders, and at the same time let them understand what Xiao Yun is good for them. After a long time, the clan will Become his indestructible Taishan's indispensable basic plate.

——In short, that is to say and do it again, to buy the hearts of the people together.

This is not a shameful thing. Anyone who wants to do anything must manage their own basic plate, which is the most basic common sense; and if they are "shameful" when operating the basic plate, then To be honest, you still have to run this basic business, anyway, your team can't go far.

As for the type of interest distribution that confuses the basics and the newcomers, who don’t know how to keep the foundation steady...you don’t want to mislead people.

"Family...housing?"

Sitting in the activity room full of acorns and meat strips, the females who are so pure that the concept of private property is not clear, and the good things such as welfare distribution are ignorant, are all forced to Xiao. Cloud look.

"Yes, the couple formed by two adults should have family housing that belongs to both parties." Xiao Yun got used to it anyway, and he didn't have any good intentions. He explained with a smile, "Now people don't have to graze or patrol. When the manpower is sufficient, we seize this opportunity to build up the family housing belonging to the partner first."

"Is it like... a tent?" the two children's mothers asked in confusion.

"Yes, it is larger, spacious and sturdy than the tent. It belongs to the partner's family house. It is allocated by the family with the ondol and basic household pottery." Xiao Yun once again killed the partner. There is no way to build a house in winter. The weather has too much influence. If single-parent families are also given houses, even if it is not to tire the clan to rebel.

As for the minimal possibility that two people can get together to "deceive" the house, Xiao Yun is not worried at all. The so-called wolves form a pair, and the snow wolves value their partners very much. Basically, they will be one in a lifetime, and they will not be changed once they are set. . The female Snow Werewolf in the non-estrus period will not have the desire to mate at all, and the derailment that affects the harmony of the marriage is basically impossible for them.

Uh... male snow werewolves have the possibility of ignoring the estrus period, but the probability is too low, you can ignore it. If you want to say, it is more popular for cats to engage in lily...

"That is to say, Ayun wants to build a house for a pair of partners?" Dahe understood, and after thinking, he showed a very tangled expression. "It seems very good, but I'm not going to estrus yet."

"It's okay, I don't want to go into estrus this year and I can come back next spring. Now I just ask anyone who has any plans to choose a partner during this estrus period to see how many houses need to be built to meet the demand."

The female tribes looked at each other, except for the two tribes with children and partners who were overjoyed. Others were very entangled... Due to the survival pressure faced by the tribe, the adult females in the tribe in recent years did not intend to estrus, and now Ayun suddenly took It is very embarrassing to "seduce" everyone with such good conditions.

"There is no male suitable for me in the clan." Hongye regrets the tunnel. Even if the snow werewolf has reached 30 years of age, she will be in a wandering state in her clan. Now she is forty, and the clan is the same age as her. Either have a partner, or the partner is dead, or younger than her. After all, there are eleven male males in addition to more than sixty senior middle-aged patriarchs. The choice is too narrow.

"I'm...fancy with Ayue, otherwise I'll be the only one." Qing Cao wanted to think about his own house, so that he wouldn't have to be left to sleep.

"Ayue?" Xiao Yun thought hard for a long time, only to remember that it was the old man who prepared the horned warrior. This man was about the same age as Qing Cao, "Okay, then there are three rooms to be booked first, and others What about people?"

"Shui Shui seems good, don't you like him in Dahe?" Qing Cao looked at Dahe.

Dahe shook his head like a rattle: "No."

A female clan with children hesitated for a long time and hesitantly said: "I have not planned to estrus for the past two years, but I want to be a partner with Lan Guo, is that okay?"

"Of course, the fourth house belongs to you." Xiao Yun immediately showed his thumbs, so that there were four complete families in the family, and there were two more cubs with both parents... He remembers Languo too Single father. As for why this meeting was not called Languo, it was because the male snow werewolf said that it is not a matter of forming a partner...

After a "mobilization", only grass was shown to have a fertility intention, which is not bad, it is better than no one, and the new born of the tribe still needs the crying accompaniment of the newborn. After determining the four houses to be built, Xiao Yun threw a bait to the tribes again: "Now the weather is too cold to start construction. It is not easy to start construction in the next year, and the tribe will continue to build new houses in the snowy year. The tribes have houses, and the rest are distributed according to age."

He is the youngest of the tribes himself. If single dogs are divided like this, he suffers from his own blood loss, but the best part of this distribution method is to please the patriarch. The patriarch who listened to the whole process immediately threw a lascivious look at him. … Do not forget to provide some priority privileges to those who have the most right to speak when doing any distribution of benefits. This is the quality that adults should have.

The obvious difference between a partner who has a house and no partner who sleeps in the chase shop may not feel like for a short period of time. After a long time, I can really find that the single dog who has suffered a loss can really have no idea? The so-called "no widows and unevenness", everyone has a share, but just seeing it sooner or later, this distribution model can maximize the elimination of the unwholesome thoughts that the tribes may be born...because people can be exploited simply because they are naive. Sooner or later, there will be big problems, which is also the basic quality of the organizers.

After reaching agreement with the female tribes, I will inform the other tribes of the good news that "everyone in the tribe will have a house." Not to mention the single dogs that the female tribes can't see, even the young ones. Excited, you can roll around on your own hot kang on your own. It’s great to sleep as much as you want. It’s really good to have a dozen people squeezing the big shop is better than sleeping in a cold tent, but often used as a pillow It feels really bad, and it's not just the grass and the big river that fall apart within the family.

With such a carrot hanging in front, Xiao Yun drove the tribe people to dig mud and water and build bricks and build houses in the cold and snowy days. No one can think of blaming laziness. ......As long as there were no frostbite on the fingers, and all of them were too diligent, Xiao Yun made himself guilty.

When it snows, the cat winters in the house. When the snow stops, it will work. This is the first time in the life of the exhausted winter snow wolves. Fortunately, with enough food, Xiao Yun often tries to make some fried beans Snacks such as homemade meat floss are used as a "placebo" for the tribes, and they spent the past half of the winter unknowingly in a busy schedule.

In the third month of winter, when the fourth family house with burnt red bricks as the main building material was completed, when the tribe people happily sent the fourth family house into the new home, Xiao Yun died almost halfway. Months of long-haired sheep wool finally saw the dawn of waste utilization...
