Chapter 444 Shoveling the Ground(1/2)
"Brother Yan, those tents are not cloth, but leather." Hu Er came over and said.
This man put down his bow and disappeared into the crowd. It was completely impossible to tell that he was a master archer who could seal his throat with one arrow.
"Yes, leather." Yan Laoer suddenly remembered that there is no leather to keep warm and resist the wind. Besides, Beirong has no shortage of this. "Can't it be torn apart?"
"The sewing is too strong." Hu Er said with emotion. Pulling it by hand is too troublesome. Using a knife is not very convenient and takes time.
Yan Laoer walked over quickly.
Most of the dozen or so tents were made of leather and had roofs. These tents were for people to live in and were warmer. Those tents made of cloth were used by Beirong to store food.
I walked around inside the tent and walked around outside for a while.
Yan Laoer said: "Then take it all off and take these old skins back. I'm afraid we can make coats for the whole village."
He knocked on the wood supporting the tent and said, "Isn't this wood? Take out all these wood and chop them into sledges. You should seize the time. It doesn't have to be too delicate, just be usable."
There is also a fence for penning sheep. You can take it down first. It will be fine. Our family can keep the sheep alive but cannot escape them."
Hu Er grinned and nodded repeatedly. If he was right, they would know what to do.
The people of Xiaoan Village were divided into several groups. Some went to dismantle the fence, some went to dismantle the tent, and some of the stronger ones attacked the wooden pillars supporting the tent.
Qi Wu, hey, hey, the ax he carried on his back finally came in handy.
Qi Da started to help dismantle it, and sent the dismantled wood to Qi Wu.
The wood that held up the tent was quite high. Qi Wu stood on the haystack. His feet were loose and weak, but it didn't bother him. He jumped several times in a row and flattened the haystack.
A lot, bring a few more piles up, and continue stepping...
Wait until the haystack is tall enough and strong enough.
Qi Wu took a few breaths at his hands, rubbed them together, and asked the people next to him to help him set up the wood. He first chopped it in the middle with an ax to create a slit, and then lifted the wood together.
Swing down vigorously.
Click!
The wood is split in two.
Qi Da dismantled the wood of three tents, and felt that Qi Wu was a little slow on his own, so he also picked up an ax to help split the wood.
The Qi family works with wood every day. They are familiar with how to chop, where to chop, how hard to use, and how fast. With the two brothers working together, the pile of wood has been reduced visibly to the naked eye.
The flat side of the split wood is used as the base. It is said to be a sledge, but it is actually a raft familiar to the people of Xiaoan Village. Several people worked together, and the rough-style sledge was quickly formed.
Yan Yu was sure that Gou Zhu could drive the sheep, so he asked Gou Zhu to stay and watch these things.
She ran to the side to watch the butcher roping the cow.
There is a cow in the herd. If you lasso it, the other cows will follow.
This is what those poor women told them.
These women, including their young children, are all helping.
Neither the border troops nor the government officials understood Xiaoan Village’s behavior of shoveling land, but these women understood.
Beirong live on the grassland and are more sensitive to the weather.
They keep saying white disaster, white disaster...
Some of them were taken captive for many years, and gradually they were able to understand the Beirong dialect and knew that "white disaster" means "snow disaster and cold disaster".
With one more piece of leather and one more piece of cloth, you might be able to survive this cold winter.
Yan Yu saw that they were really pitiful because they had too little clothing, so he asked them to find something they could wear.
They shivered and asked if they could take off Beirong's clothes...
Yan Yu naturally said yes.
As long as they don't mind the dirt and blood on it.
All Beirong corpses will be returned to the border army. This was agreed upon by the three parties before.
But the people of Xiao'an Village have another habit besides last-ditch killing blows... and keep searching...
They don't touch other people, but they touch what they kill. What's wrong with that?
Besides, the one looking at these Beirong corpses was none other than Luo Er.
This time General Xue brought four teams of small flags.
Coincidentally, there are three small flags in Xiaoan Village.
Hu Da, Luo Er and Sun Erdan.
At present, Hu Da is the most respected by Mr. Xue Qi, and Luo Er is also trusted. Don't look down on the job of looking at corpses. Then the Shangguan must think that you are reliable and people can trust you. Otherwise, you can touch something on the corpse.
It's small. It would be disgusting to have some different injuries and say it's someone else's military exploits or something.
The two of them don't talk much. Like most men from Xiao'an Village, they are responsible and reassuring.
People like Mr. Xue Qi like such honest men the most.
As for Sun Erdan, he is a bit clever. He feels that the Yan family are all talented people, and only by imitating others can they live a good life. If they don't have the conditions and brains to study like others, he will imitate the second brother Yan.
In Sun Erdan's eyes, Brother Yan is a man who can get along well with people in and outside the village. He can't imitate those outside the village, so he just learns how Brother Yan behaves towards the people in the village.
He speaks easily and is easy to understand, and his work makes people feel warm.
Talk a lot, especially a lot.
Sun Erdan didn't talk that much originally, so he forced himself to speak.
He was the first to get acquainted with his brothers.
There is no special method, just chatting, a small flag is enough for these people, just grab chatting when you have time, it is commonplace, but you will get familiar with it quickly.
He not only asked others, but also talked about himself. After talking about his mediocre life, he had nothing to say, so he lived in vain for the Yan family, Xiucai Gong, and the second brother Yan...
Sun Erdan and Xiaoqi had heard a lot about Xiaoan Village, and when they saw these people, especially Sun Xiaoqi and his second brother Yan, who were focused on nothing, they felt close to them at first glance.
Therefore, Luo Er had some errands and couldn't leave. When Hu Da relied on his ability to convince others and led his team to help demolish Xiao'an Village, Sun Erdan's team of ten people who were understood by Nao also followed.
Already.
The five little flags of Xiaoan Village are all very fond of home. Whenever they have a day off, they will run back to the village, take off their armor and still work.
They don't feel there have been any changes, but the days they go home are shorter. They usually eat after training in the military camp, train again after eating, and then go to bed. When they open their eyes the next day, they repeat the process again, and it's not like working with them at home.
It's almost the same, except that I can't see my family and I feel panicked.
The people in the village didn't think there was anything different about them. At first they didn't look at anyone for several days, and it was still strange to come back unexpectedly, but then they gradually got used to it.
As Sun Erdan gradually got used to talking more, he became familiar with the new families in the village, and could chat for a while when they met. Besides, Guan the Butcher's family was not a stranger, and all the pig collectors from ten miles away and eight villages recognized him.
"Brother Guan, don't you think that portrait looks like it?" The armor tied to Sun Erdan's body was crooked, as he had just torn it off with Niu.
The butcher didn't know which cow was which, but the bulls were all very strong when they were locked up together.
"Try to set it." Butcher Guan started to set the ring, and he pointed at the end that Sun Erdan was pointing at and swung it over.
The bull was trapped and struggled violently.
Sun Erdan and his brothers worked together to pull the rope and pull the rebellious bull over.
The average bull is basically honest when pulled over.
But this guy's reaction was unusual.
It doesn’t accept it!
Butcher Guan's eyes lit up, "That's it!"
When Sun Erdan heard this, he became excited and shouted: "Brothers, work harder. If you pull the first cow, these cows will be honest!"
The rope is stretched.
No matter how strong the ox is, it can't defeat these dozen or so men.
By the time the bull was pulled to him, the rope around his neck was already very tight, and the bull was aggressively pushing and kicking against the fence.
"Don't move, I'll loosen it for you." Butcher Guan tentatively stretched out his hand.
The bull didn't understand, so he naturally didn't appreciate it and pushed him unceremoniously.
"Oh, what a bad temper!" Sun Erdan gave Guan the butcher a hand.
"Brother Guan, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you didn't push me." Butcher Guan said nonchalantly: "This cow and pig are just different. No matter how bad-tempered the pig is, it will be honest in my hands. This cow, I really don't know what to do with it."
Cure it.”
He didn't kill many cows. Since he took up the knife, he had only killed a few cows that had died of old age and illness. He didn't know what else to do except put a rope around the neck.
Ordinary cows are obedient when put on a harness, but this cow is indeed different.
"Uncle Guan, put on other things first and leave this end alone." Yan Yu said.
A lot of people looked over.
