Chapter 179 Autumn Turns to Winter
[Similar to us, very ugly, with long ears...]
Combining the three limited pieces of information together, Zhou Xu really didn't have many ideas.
[Similar to us, probably referring to humanoids. Not to mention that they are ugly, they have long ears...]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu's gaze fell on Drogo's head.
Centaurs also have long ears, and even compared to humans, hyenas also have long ears. There are too many people with long ears.
Zhou Xu, who still wanted to find out the truth, tried to get some information from Drogo, but Drogo's knowledge was really limited.
It is not difficult to see from Drogo's limited information that the two sides are in a state of not interfering with each other.
In this era, whether it is humans, centaurs, or even hyenas, to put it bluntly, they are constantly running for food every day.
Within their own territory, Drogo and his men can obtain food relatively stably.
With this as a premise, Drogo and his companions naturally do not need to risk going to other areas.
Not to mention that the guys in the next area are not easy to deal with.
In fact, he didn't tell Zhou Xu the whole story of his encounter with the sheep.
At that time, he chased the flock of sheep to the opposite area, and then encountered the guys from the opposite area. In a simple round of confrontation, he suffered a loss and then hurriedly retreated.
The reason why Drogo is so eager to obtain copper arrows from Zhou Xu is not only to deal with the hyena people, but also to enhance the combat effectiveness of the tribe so that they can deal with the guys in the next area when necessary.
But the current situation is giving him a headache. This business is not easy to do!
Looking at Zhuo Ge's expression, Zhou Xu seemed to have remembered something and said with a smile...
"Oh, and the hyena man's corpse is also fine. One hyena man's corpse can be exchanged for one arrow."
When Zhuo Ge heard this, he was stunned. Combined with the second half of the sentence, he felt that Zhou Xu was joking.
"Are you serious?"
"Really? Bring me a hyena man's corpse and I'll give you an arrow in exchange. It will be your contribution to hunting down hyena men."
In this matter, Drogo did not ask why the hyena's body was only worth one arrow. After getting Zhou Xu's affirmative answer, he agreed to this matter.
After confirming the new transaction content with Zhou Xu, Drogo did not stay for long and quickly left with his people.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should be going to catch bison.
After all, the other targets he proposed were either unseen or not easy to catch.
As for the hyena man, they would kill him on sight, there was nothing to say, but he was not worth anything.
Right now, the only animal that is relatively easy to catch and worth some money in their territory is the bison.
After Drogo and his companions set off, Zhou Xu waved to Zhang Xiaoshan beside him.
"Chief, what do you want?"
"Xiaoshan, go back and inform the capture team that they don't need to capture the bison for the time being."
"Okay!"
At this point in time, they should prepare for the winter. There are a lot of things to do right now, and the tribe is short of manpower.
Anyway, the number of bison in their country is enough for the time being, and with Drogo and his men going to catch them, he might as well call his men back to prepare for winter.
From a climate perspective, the grassland is definitely not a good place. It is extremely hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. This is exactly what the grassland is like.
However, in the grassland village, the houses have already been built, and their ability to keep out the cold is undoubtedly two or three levels stronger than tents.
In addition, in Black Moon Village, the handicraft team has started making warm winter clothes according to Zhou Xu's instructions.
They couldn't find wool, but at least they had rabbit fur.
Now that the meat rabbits have been raised to a certain size, they eat the meat and also store the skins with rabbit fur, which can be used to make winter clothes and bedding to keep warm.
Under this premise, in order to obtain more furs and skins, the supply of chicken in the market within their tribe is rapidly decreasing, and rabbit meat is being supplied in large quantities. The same is true for the dishes in the canteen.
In addition, another thing that needs to be prepared for the winter is undoubtedly food.
The most common way is to make pickled meats and pickled vegetables so that they can be preserved for a long time.
In fact, even before the time travel, their family would make their own pickled meats and vegetables every winter.
So Zhou Xu is also very skilled in this matter.
In this way, time passed quietly in the busyness, and soon, Zhou Xu welcomed his first winter after traveling across time...
Inside the house in Caoyuan Village, Zhou Xu, standing in front of the window, exhaled a breath of hot air.
The winter on the grassland gets cold very quickly. Not long after the beginning of winter, the daytime temperature is already only two or three degrees Celsius, and at night, it is directly below zero.
At this time, Zhou Xu had already changed into a fur-and-leather rabbit fur coat. Putting aside the fact that the rabbit was wasted, the coat's ability to keep warm was still quite impressive.
At least it can make him feel clearly that he will not freeze to death this winter.
But from the perspective of the entire tribe, this winter may not be easy for them.
The rabbit fur coat with fur does have excellent ability to keep out the cold, but the question is how many rabbits are needed to sew one?
Even if their meat rabbit farming has reached a certain scale, it is impossible for everyone to get one.
The handicraft team had already reported this problem to him before winter.
Zhou Xu had no way to completely solve this problem and could only make appropriate adjustments.
For example, make fewer coats that waste leather and more vests. As long as they can protect the torso and ensure the temperature of the torso, the whole person will be much warmer.
Turning around and walking back to his desk, Zhou Xu just sat down and Qiansui, who was lying in the room, immediately jumped onto his legs and curled up into a ball.
Zhou Xu was obviously accustomed to this situation.
Then he put his cold hands directly into Qiansui's thick hair.
Chitose regards him as his parent, and has always been a clingy follower. Now that the weather is getting colder, Chitose has undoubtedly become even more clingy.
Because compared to other places in the house, Zhou Xu's body was the warmest.
But this is also the same for Zhou Xu. Qiansui has thick fur and its body temperature is slightly higher than that of normal humans. When it lies on his legs, it becomes a ready-made hot pack.
While covering his legs and knees, you can also cover his hands at any time. The two of them hug each other for warmth. It is a good season to enhance their relationship.
But leaving this aside, this winter brought him more troubles...
